Hope: I get that you’ve never stopped wanting your parents to get back together, but to go about it in this way, luring ridge off to aspen?

Steffy: My father went to aspen all on his own.

Hope: And when he got there, you and your mother took full advantage of that, didn’t you? You couldn’t let another golden opportunity pass you by just like old times.

Steffy: No, that is not true. My father already made the choice to be with my mother for the rest of his life, not brooke.

Hope: Ridge will always love my mother, steffy. Always. And I’m sorry if that’s an inconvenience for you and taylor, but it’s the truth.

Brooke: Ridge, it’s me again. I really need to talk to you. I still have so many questions. Just call me or text, please. I love you.

[ Door opens ]

Brooke: Ridge?

Liam: No, sorry.

Brooke: Ah. Hi, liam. I just keep thinking ridge is gonna walk through that door, tell me it was all a big mistake and that he’s not back with taylor.

Liam: It could still happen.

Brooke: Yeah, I suppose. Just the more time that goes by, I– I’m not gonna go there, I– I’m gonna stay positive.

[ Sighing ] Just going to hope that it’s not the end for ridge and me.

Deacon: Who the hell’s that guy think he is? He comes in here throwing his weight around. And he’s got his face on these dollar bills. I– I don’t even know why he gets his hair that way. It’s ridiculous. Arrogant son of a–

Sheila: Don’t let it get to you. Okay? He’s– he’s not worth it.

Deacon: That’s for damn sure. It’s just he– god, he gets under my skin. Just wanna–

[ Grunting ] You know, he thinks he’s so much better than me.

Sheila: But he’s not.

[ Deacon sighs ] Is he richer? Yes. Does he have an incredible amount of influence? Definitely. But is he better looking?

Deacon: Watch it.

Sheila: Did, uh, did i hear him right, though? Ridge left brooke?

[ Thud ]

Katie: Have you recovered yet?

Carter: From humiliating myself, you mean?

Katie: You didn’t humiliate yourself.

Carter: I announced to an entire office of colleagues that quinn left me. If that’s not the textbook definition of humiliation, then–

Katie: First of all, they’re not just your colleagues, they’re your friends and they hate that this happened to you. Second, it’s quinn’s loss, not yours. You have no reason to feel humiliated.

Carter: Yeah? But the lawyer in me still wants answers. Like, why did she walk away when things were so good? I thought about reaching out to justin, have him tap into his old ways, do some digging, but I don’t wanna take him off the straight and narrow, he’s, doing some great work here. So I made a phone call myself.

Katie: I really hope you didn’t call quinn. I mean, I’m sure you’ve been trying to get a hold of her, but I– I think you’re better off without her.

Carter: Is that why you kissed me?

Katie: As I recall, you kissed me back.

Carter: Yes, I’ve been calling quinn, but that’s not who I’m talking about.

[ Knocking ]

Shauna: Oh, am I interrupting?

Katie: You called shauna for answers?

Shauna: Hi, katie.

Katie: Hey.

Carter: I figured if quinn opened up to anyone, it would be her best friend.

Shauna: And let me start off by apologizing because you did not deserve to be treated that way, carter, and I am really, really sorry. Truly.

Deacon: I guess ridge did what ridge does best, which is shatter brooke’s heart. Again. Bill just couldn’t wait to come running down here to tell me all about it.

Sheila: Or he was just marking his territory. Claiming dibs.

Deacon: Arrogance and delusional.

Sheila: Yeah. Well, you know, he is dollar bill spencer.

Deacon: Oh, dollar bill spencer.

Sheila: One of the wealthiest, most powerful men alive for whom nothing is unattainable, including a newly divorced brooke logan.

Deacon: Well, she isn’t divorced yet. And even if she was, doesn’t mean she’s gonna go running back into his arms. I mean, don’t forget she was already married to that jerk once. Didn’t work out then. There’s no reason to believe it would work out now. Brooke deserves– she deserves somebody better.

Brooke: If I could justE. I mean, there’s gotta be some way we can work through this. There’s– there has to be.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah, there has to be. And we’re pulling for you.

Brooke: Oh, thank you. I mean, that really means a lot to have you and hope in my corner.

Liam: Well, yeah. Well, we’re your family. Where else would we be?

Brooke: Well, ridge is my family too, but if steffy and taylor have their way.

Steffy: I know what it’s like seeing your own mother in pain.

Hope: She’s devastated, steffy.

Steffy: I’m not saying she isn’T. But brooke watched my mother be heartbroken over and over again. The blatant plays for my father, a constant assault on my family. You wanna defend your mom? I get that. I get to defend my mom, too.

Hope: Except you’re not just defending your mother, steffy. You’re condoning the destruction of a marriage. And if taylor hadn’t come back–

Steffy: Oh, really? Okay. So are you saying this is my mom’s fault, that my father doesn’t know his own mind, his heart? Because I can tell you, hope, he does. His heart is fully with my mother.

Laundry truths: The bargain

jug.

[ Carter sighing ]

Carter: Okay. You saw me and quinn not that long ago. How did we seem? Did I miss something?

Shauna: Other than me feeling like a third wheel? No. You both seemed very much in love.

Carter: We were. That’s why I don’t understand. I mean, she made comments about not being able to give me what I wanted– marriage, a family. But I told her none of that matters to me.

Katie: Yeah, but is that really true?

Shauna: Quinn’s extremely good at reading people, what they say and don’t say. And if she really felt deep down you did want those things, then that was probably part of it. And she said the same thing to me.

Carter: She did? What else did she say?

Shauna: Uh, you know, it– it was very quick. Nothing really except she felt horrible for leaving you. But she just felt like it was the best thing for both of you. Although I think that there’s more to it.

Carter: So I’m not crazy.

Shauna: You’re definitely not crazy. I mean, what she did was shocking. Cutting out after such a loving, passionate relationship? But then again, I’ve known quinn for so many years and I am used to her erratic behavior. But you, you definitely deserved more from her.

Carter: Still don’t get it.

Shauna: Carter, if I were you, I wouldn’t spend too much time trying to figure it out. Quinn’s who she is. And as much as she loved you, when something’s over for her, it’s over. Whatever the reason.

Sheila: Yeah. Whatever will poor brooke logan do without a man for five minutes?

Deacon: Lay off brooke, will ya? All right? She just lost her marriage. It– show a little compassion.

Sheila: For someone who hates my guts?

Deacon: No. For someone who happens to be my daughter’s mother.

Sheila: Yeah. That’s all she’s ever gonna be. I hate to agree with bill spencer on this one, but whatever future you think you have with brooke, it isn’t happening.

Brooke: Oh gosh, I’m– I’m sorry. Really, I didn’t mean to dump all this on you.

Liam: No, you’re not. I’m here to listen. And to– grab this ’cause it’s beth’S.

[ Brooke chuckling ]

Brooke: I’m just grateful, really, to have a loving and caring family. So, thank you.

Liam: Yeah.

Brooke: You and hope are wonderful.

Liam: Well, I’m always gonna have your back, and hope, she’s hope. She defends the people that she loves. That’s what she does.

Hope: Ridge has always been torn between our mothers, steffy. But even you have to admit that my mom has made him happy.

Steffy: When she’s not making him miserable, which is most of the time. That’s what it comes down to. Brooke can only behave herself for so long. She doesn’t let the happiness last.

Hope: Do you really despise my mother that much?

Steffy: No. I actually feel bad for your mom. She’s still making these mistakes. The same mistakes we made in our 20s. She doesn’t learn from them. And my father’s finally starting to realize that.

Hope: Yeah, thanks to you. And thomas and taylor constantly hounding him about all of my mother’s shortcomings.

Steffy: We don’t have to point anything out for my father. He can make his own decisions. I understand this is really hard for you and your mother, but right now I’m not really focused on that. It’s not on my radar. I’m focused on my family, my mother, and the joy she’s feeling now that she’s back together with my father. A dental tool is round for a reason.

Katie: Shauna is right. You’ll probably never know the full reason quinn did what she did. And in which case you’re–

Carter: I’m spinning my wheels looking for answers.

Shauna: I know quinn loved you. She just sometimes freaks out and bolts. And I hate that it happened, especially to such a great guy like you. But you’re not gonna be single for very long. I know there is a lucky lady out there that is going to make you forget all about quinn. Trust me.

Deacon: So you don’t think brooke and i have a future, huh?

Sheila: Mm-mm. I don’t see it in the cards.

Deacon: Maybe you don’t want me to see it because you’re jealous.

[ Sheila laughing ] Of brooke? Are you serious?

Deacon: Sheila, I’m just saying. You know, in a head-to-head competition, brooke’s beautiful. You’re beautiful. Brooke’s got brains. You’ve got brains. Brooke’s got sex appeal. You know she has that– she has that one quality that you lack. Um, she’s never been charged with attempted murder. It’s kinda sexy.

Sheila: Are– are you saying that I don’t have sex appeal? Because that’s definitely not the message I’m receiving every time we wind up between the sheets together or on the sofa, do I need to go on? Because there is definitely heat right here between the two of us. A heat that I know that you have never experienced with another woman. Not even with… what’s her name?

Brooke: I honestly don’t know what I’ve done to deserve a daughter like hope. I mean, she’s always lifting me up and supporting me and being there for me. And– and defending me. And I just wish she didn’t have to do that. I mean, I– I just want my husband back.

Liam: Listen, you know, just as steffy and thomas will always defend taylor, hope will always defend you. And you know something else, no matter what happens here, whether ridge stays over there with taylor or gets his ass back to you–

Brooke: Well he has to come back to me. We’re married. We have a life together, a life that seemed so promising just a few days ago until he saw something in me that made him change. He thinks that I did something and I have no idea what it is. I mean, what could possibly get ridge to upend our lives like this?

Hope: I’m focused on my family, too. Like, finding out why my mother’s marriage fell apart practically overnight.

Steffy: You don’t have to look any further than brooke. She’s the reason my father left her and went back to my mom.

[ Hope laughing ]

Hope: That is not true. My mother and your father were happy. Sure, they had their issues but they were working through them. And for ridge to just wake up one day and decide that taylor is his future–

Steffy: No, no, no. My father has always loved my mother. If you believe that this is temporary, you’re kidding yourself. My parents are committed to each other. You should have seen them in aspen. It was so beautiful. The love between my parents. There was no foul play, no misunderstandings. It was just peace and love. The sooner you and brooke get this through your heads, the better for everyone.

Music (“I swear”) plays

[ Door closes ]

Carter: Do you think shauna picked up on something?

Katie: How you really feel about quinn?

Carter: No. How I really feel about someone else. Someone who’s been so understanding and… so generous with her support.

Deacon: What a buffoon. You know, if ridge actually does make it official and divorces brooke for taylor, she could do a hell of a lot better than that clown.

Sheila: Oh… oh, someone like you?

Deacon: Yeah, someone like me. Yeah.

[ Chuckling ] Look, at least I’m not a– a an arrogant narcissist like he is. You know, on my good days. Like, come on, this guy has got so many issues. Brooke should just avoid him like the plague.

Sheila: Let me guess, then, you would just be all too happy to save her from him.

Deacon: I don’t know about save, but she is my kid’s mother. I mean, they’re close. Look, if bill winds up hurting brooke, then he hurts hope and I’m not gonna let that happen.

Sheila: Look at you being all chivalrist. Well, you know what? I hate to burst your bubble, sir lancelot, but no amount of chivalry is going to win lady logan for you. No, she’s always gonna belong to ridge, whether he wants her or not.

[ Deacon sighing ]

Liam: When you and ridge were in aspen, what exactly did he say?

[ Brooke sighing ] I can’t make sense of it. He asked me to just, “say it.”

Liam: Say what?

Brooke: I don’t know. That’s what’s so frustrating. What is it? I– is it something that I did with bill? Something with deacon?

Liam: Well, the thing with my dad was so long ago now it’d be pretty weird if ridge was carrying that around, especially since, you know, he forgave you for it.

Brooke: I know. And he already forgave me for deacon too. So if it’s not those two, what is it?

Liam: Okay. Well, then– brooke, you have to talk to ridge again to find out. The stakes are too damn high.

Brooke: Oh gosh, I know, liam. You don’t have to tell me.

[ Sighing ] My marriage, my life, my happiness, the man that I love, it’s all on the line because of steffy and taylor. I am not gonna let them win. I am gonna get to the bottom of this and when I do, I am going to fix it and ridge will come back to me. We will be together again.

Hope: There’s something you need to accept, steffy. My mother will never give up on ridge. What they have together–

Steffy: Had together. Everything has changed. Hope, I know it seems like I’m gloating right now, but I’m really not. I’ll admit there was a time when I was worried about my father, losing him to brooke and the logans. It was a dark, dark time. But we’ve moved on. My parents have reunited. Our family is whole again, hope. And it’s truly a wonderful time for us. For my family, the forresters.

Update written by Joseph

Jack questions Xander wanting a job at the Spectator. Xander reminds him that they talked about it at the Pub until Jack was sidetracked when he realized Jennifer was the one who ran over Gwen. Jack reminds him to keep his voice down about that. Xander says he’ll start wherever Jack can use him and asks what he says. Jack responds that he’s afraid his answer is no.

Ava shows up in a disguise in Gwen’s hospital room and tells her that she needs her help. Ava says Gwen can’t tell anyone that she saw her as no one can know she’s here. Gwen questions why and what is going on. Ava informs Gwen that she’s been banished from Salem.

Wendy and Tripp sit together at Julie’s Place as Wendy asks Tripp about his mother being missing. Tripp tells her that he’s been calling and texting for hours with no response so he’s starting to get really worried. Wendy says she’s so sorry and asks if he has any idea where she might be. Tripp responds that all he knows is that EJ forced her to leave town.

Johnny goes to the DiMera Enterprises office and begins searching through folders on the desk, believing the password has to be there somewhere. EJ then comes back in and questions what Johnny is doing there. Johnny thinks back to planning in to hacking DiMera accounts with Wendy. EJ asks Johnny again and demands an answer.

Gabi informs Li that Stefan came over to give her their divorce papers. Li questions that being the errand that Stefan had to run. Stefan explains that as he was leaving the building, he ran in to his attorney, who informed him that the papers were ready. Li questions Stefan rushing over to personally deliver them. Stefan says he imagines they are anxious to get married, just as he is to cut ties with Gabi, so he got there as soon as he could. Li assumes they are signed then but Gabi says not yet. Stefan declares that as soon as they are, their marriage will be over so Li and Gabi will be free to live their happily ever after.

Jack tells Xander that he wants to help him but he doesn’t think bringing him on at the paper at this time is a good idea. Xander complains about not being good enough and lacking the skills for the job, then tells Jack to forget it as it was a stupid idea. Jack explains that his decision has nothing to do with his character, capabilities, or about Xander at all. Jack reveals it’s about Gwen.

Gwen questions who banished Ava from Salem. Ava tells her it was EJ DiMera. Gwen points out that she’s still here. Ava states that EJ doesn’t know that, so this visit needs to stay between them. Gwen agrees and asks what she did to anger EJ so badly that she’s banished from Salem.

EJ questions Johnny as to what he has caught him doing now and warns that he’s losing his patience. Johnny then claims that he came to apologize because he realized EJ was right about Ava since she did lie to them and just wanted to scam their family after Jake died. EJ says he tried to tell him. Johnny tells EJ that he’s really sorry. EJ acknowledges that Johnny really did care about Ava. Johnny claims that Ava was just using him to get to EJ and that EJ was right.

Ava informs Gwen that EJ is furious because she faked a marriage to Jake to inherit his shares. Ava clarifies that it was Gabi’s idea. Gwen can’t believe Gabi convinced Ava to put a wedding ring on a dead man’s finger. Ava argues that she and Jake were in love and if he wasn’t killed, they would be married now. Ava reminds Gwen that Jake proposed to her right before getting shot and even picked out her engagement ring. Gwen angrily reminds Ava that it was the same ring that Xander gave to her.

Xander asks Jack what Gwen has to do with him working at the Spectator. Jack informs Xander that he’s checking Gwen out of the hospital today and she’s worried as she didn’t have a job or a place to live, so he told her that she could come home with him and offered her a job at the paper. Xander argues that it’s a huge operation so there must be more than one opening. Jack confirms there is, so Xander suggests hiring both of them. Jack responds that he’d like to, but he can’t because his news room would turn in to a fight club.

Tripp tells Wendy about how he punched EJ. Wendy questions how EJ isn’t making him leave town too. Tripp reminds her that he already left town and lives in Seattle. Wendy jokes that she got distracted by picturing Tripp going all Anderson Silva. Tripp is impressed to learn that Wendy is a fan of MMA and says he didn’t think he could like her more. Wendy asks what happened after he hit EJ. Tripp explains that EJ was going to have him arrested but Li stopped him. Wendy is surprised that Li was there but questions why Li would go to bat for him. Tripp reveals that Li did it for Wendy to show his gratitude for what he did for her over the summer in Hong Kong. Wendy acknowledges that Tripp and his brother Joey saved her life. Tripp says that’s something they will both be very proud of. Tripp adds that they both think Wendy is great and that’s why Li sprang to his defense. Wendy wonders if Li really does care about her then since he doesn’t take her seriously or see her as a capable, ambitious adult. Wendy wonders if she would have an easier time if she conformed a little more. Tripp tells her not to change for anyone and calls her amazing exactly the way she is. Wendy questions why her brother refuses to give her a job then.

Li goes over the divorce papers and offers to be the witness for their signatures. Li asks who wants to sign first. Stefan decides he does and declares that he cannot wait to be rid of Gabi once and for all as he signs the divorce papers. Stefan then hands the papers to Gabi.

Xander questions Jack thinking he and Gwen would be brawling at the office. Jack points out that tensions can run high while there could be late hours and long nights. Xander assures that he’s in love with Sarah and he’s over Gwen. Jack responds that he knows, but he’s not so sure that Gwen is over him.

Ava questions if Gwen is still carrying a torch for Xander. Gwen asks why she would say that. Ava points out Gwen getting annoyed at her former engagement ring. Gwen denies that and says they are talking about Ava’s love life, not hers. Gwen asks Ava about the scam she ran on EJ. Ava says there isn’t much more to tell as she was out of her mind with grief and Gabi took advantage. Gwen questions Gabi ambushing her in the hospital. Ava confirms that Jake’s body wasn’t even cold while Gabi was pitching her on all the cash she could make. Ava says that EJ found out the marriage wasn’t real, so he’s in and now Gabi’s out. Gwen argues that it’s not Ava’s fault so Gabi still owes her. Gwen suggests Ava take this up with Gabi instead of her but Ava responds that Gabi has problems of her own.

Stefan questions what Gabi is waiting for. Gabi declares that Stefan might be alive again, but he’s dead to her now, as she then signs the divorce papers. Gabi doesn’t care what Dr. Rolf says and remarks that Stefan doesn’t have a heart anymore. Li then signs the papers as well. Stefan tells Li that Gabi is all his and Gabi is free to marry the man she loves. Gabi angrily responds that Stefan is free to chase Chloe. Stefan decides he will file the papers himself so there is no doubt that this marriage is finally and permanently over. Stefan then exits the room.

Tripp thought Wendy already worked for DiMera. Wendy complains about being stuck in Alaska, so she wants Li to get her transferred here with a promotion but he doesn’t want her to show him up. Wendy states that it’s sadly still a man’s world. Tripp hopes she wasn’t offended by what he and Joey did in Hong Kong. Wendy repeats that they saved her life and assures that she’s so grateful. Wendy brings up hearing about Tripp saving another woman’s life by throwing himself through a window. Tripp guesses he’s old school and always trying to be the knight in shining armor. Wendy admits she finds that kind of hot. Wendy then checks out Tripp’s hand and comments that it must have been some punch. Tripp admits it was actually more than one, so Wendy asks who else he hit. Joey then arrives and interrupts them.

Johnny remarks to EJ that thinking about everything Ava did to him was like getting punched in the face. Johnny claims that he can’t believe he defended Ava and calls her very persuasive. EJ responds that Johnny is less persuasive and admits he’s having a hard time buying this. EJ brings up how when he forced Ava to leave Salem, Johnny looked at him with sheer hatred and swore to make him pay. Johnny blows it off as just having a temper. EJ acknowledges the charm he used to cover up what he’s really up to and how he got that from him. EJ questions if Johnny really believes he got played by Ava or if Johnny is the one playing him.

Joey questions what’s going on. Wendy explains that she was just asking Tripp about how he banged up his knuckles. Joey hugs Wendy and says it’s so good to see her. Wendy says she’s glad to hear his mom is okay. Joey questions what Wendy is doing in Salem. Wendy says she was hoping to get a job but her brother is being a dork. Tripp jokes that he can relate to that. Joey asks where Wendy is staying. Wendy admits she’s still figuring that out. Wendy refuses to crash with Li and admits she can’t afford a hotel, so Joey suggests she stay with them.

Xander asks Jack if Gwen told him that she still has feelings for him. Jack thinks back to interrupting Gwen’s dream. Jack tells Xander that it was just an impression he got. Xander understands his daughter has to come first but assures that if he did hire them both, he would never lead Gwen on. Jack says that Gwen wants to get her life back on track and he wants to support her on that by helping her make better decisions than she has in the past and help her learn to not repeat her mistakes.

Ava argues that she won’t ask Gwen to do anything she hasn’t done before. Gwen says that’s what she’s afraid of and questions what exactly Ava wants her to do. Ava wants Gwen to help her get back at EJ. Ava says she doesn’t respond well to threats so EJ needs to pay for thinking he can threaten her and run her out of Salem. Ava just needs Gwen to get close to EJ and get him to like her. Gwen says no and refuses to infiltrate the DiMera family as she did that before and it was a disaster. Ava just wants Gwen to cozy up EJ but Gwen says she can’t. Ava argues that she can’t do it because if EJ finds out she’s still in Salem, he will have her arrested and thrown in prison. Ava reminds Gwen how she broke her out of prison with no questions asked. Gwen argues that was only for a few hours and because Ava threw her under the bus. Ava points out that she was the only one who could help Gwen back then and now Gwen is the only one who can help her. Gwen argues that they are even, so she doesn’t have to help her with anything. Ava offers to beg and says she refuses to tuck her tail and run just because EJ told her too. Ava declares that she doesn’t care if EJ hates her but he will not disrespect her. Ava adds that she would go after EJ herself in a heartbeat if she could, but she can’t, so she needs Gwen’s help. Ava questions what Gwen has to lose.

Johnny asks EJ why it’s so hard to accept that he’s admitting EJ was right. EJ points out that it’s never happened before. Johnny insists he had time to cool off and reflect, so he came around on Ava. Johnny brings up that EJ always said his place is here at DiMera and he was right. EJ questions suddenly changing his mind after years of fighting him. Johnny claims that the whole thing with Ava has cleared up a lot for him about loyalty, legacy, and what he wants in life. EJ asks if he wants to work here with him. Johnny knows he’s resisted it for years but maybe it’s time for him to grow up and learn the family business. Johnny asks what EJ’s working on these days anyway as he opens up the computer. Johnny then points out that it’s locked and asks what EJ’s password is.

Tripp reminds Joey that they live in Seattle. Wendy asks when they are heading back home. Tripp says as soon as he hears from his mom. Wendy tells Joey that Tripp hasn’t been able to reach Ava. Joey asks if she’s alright. Tripp says he thinks so but he just wants to make sure and then they can head back. Joey points out that they don’t have to leave quite yet, noting that Kayla isn’t out of the hospital yet. Joey suggests they can stick around to help out and have Wendy stay with them. Wendy doesn’t want to get in the way. Joey goes over how Steve and Kayla have a townhouse with two guest bedrooms. Tripp reminds him that they are in one and Stephanie is in the other. Joey suggests Tripp can move in with Stephanie while Wendy bunks with him. Tripp argues that Joey knows Stephanie way more than he does so it would make more sense for Wendy to bunk with him. Wendy suggests she could bunk with Stephanie while Joey questions why Tripp is making this so difficult. Tripp and Joey argue that they are both trying to do what’s best for Wendy. Wendy says she appreciates the offer but she will just find her own place. Joey and Tripp blame each other and argue until Wendy stops them and tells them to take this somewhere else because she has work to do. Wendy then kisses them both on the cheek and then they leave as Wendy goes back to work.

Jack offers Xander a handshake and asks if there’s no hard feelings. Xander hugs him and assures he’s still his best mate. Jack thanks him for understanding. Jack asks about Xander being a couple months behind on his bills at the Salem Inn. Xander reveals that he and Sarah have moved back in to the Kiriakis Mansion temporarily which is not their first choice but it will help. Jack offers to loan Xander some money until he finds something but Xander says he’ll figure it out as he always does. Xander then exits the hospital.

Gwen tells Ava that she has everything that matters to her to lose. Ava reminds her that she already lost Xander. Gwen says she’s talking about her father as being the daughter that Jack deserves is her main focus along with recovering from being slammed in to by a motor vehicle. Ava asks when Gwen is being released. Gwen informs her that it’s today and that Jack has invited her to stay with him. Gwen adds that Jack’s even getting her a job at the newspaper. Ava congratulates her on that while Gwen insists this is not a con and that Jack is giving her a chance to do things right, so there is no way she will muck it up. Gwen declares that whatever scheme Ava is cooking up with EJ, she’s out. Ava questions Gwen turning her down. Gwen says she is rooting for her and hopes that Ava makes EJ pay.

Johnny asks EJ for his password but EJ shuts the computer and says he was wrong as Johnny doesn’t belong behind a desk, he’s an artist. Johnny questions EJ not wanting him at DiMera. EJ assures he’d want nothing more than to have his son by his side but he wouldn’t be happy there. EJ encourages Johnny to be out there bringing his vision to life. Johnny brings up that his last vision didn’t turn out so well. EJ remarks that if he can beat the Devil, he can beat anyone. EJ says he has a lot of work to do as undoing all the damage that Gabi did as CEO is a bigger task than he imagined. Johnny decides to leave him to it then and exits the office.

Johnny returns to Wendy at Julie’s Place and asks if she had any luck. Wendy says she hasn’t because security is too tight on Li’s email. Wendy asks about Johnny’s luck. Johnny informs her that EJ walked in on him going through his desk, but insists there’s no chance that EJ is onto him.

EJ makes a call, saying he wants the tightest security on all of DiMeras devices including desktops, laptops, and phones. EJ asks the head of I.T. to personally oversee the upgrades and says there is no immediate threat but they can never be too careful.

Li asks if Gabi is okay. Gabi claims she is and asks why she wouldn’t be. Li says she just signed her divorce papers and knows that had to be very difficult. Gabi questions what Li is doing here when it’s the first day of him being EJ’s second in command. Li reminds her that is just temporary. Gabi tells Li that she loves and trusts him so she knows he’s looking out for her. Li states that he’s biding his time to get rid of EJ and all the other DiMeras, then it will just be them as Shin-Hernandez Enterprises. Gabi calls it Hernandez-Shin as she likes to be on top. Li assures that he knows as they kiss.

Jack returns to Gwen’s room and asks if she’s ready to head home. Gwen says that sounds really nice and thanks him for giving her this chance and for still believing in her after all the ways she disappointed him. Gwen promises this time will be different and she will do everything she can to make sure he is proud of her.

Ava complains about Gwen suddenly having a conscience and wonders where she will find someone to help her now. Xander walks by while on a phone call with the Salem Inn about how much he still owes. Xander says he just needs a little time and assures he will find a way to come up with the money. Xander hangs up and exits the hospital. Having overheard him, Ava declares that her problem is solved.

Gabi and Li lay in bed after having sex. Gabi points out that Li still hasn’t told her why he came back to the room. Li questions her still thinking about that after what they just did. Gabi says she’s curious. Li tells her that his sister texted him that she was going to stop by. Gabi informs him that she did. Li asks what she wanted. Gabi responds that Wendy wanted to see if Li would reconsider hiring her in Salem and then hoped Gabi would hire her, herself. Gabi says if she was still CEO, she would hire Wendy in a heartbeat because she’s a rock star. Li admits that she’s not the first person today to remind him of Wendy’s talents, so maybe he does need to reconsider. Gabi agrees unless he’s intimidated by powerful, strong women.

Tripp and Joey sit together at the Brady Pub. Tripp gets a text from Ava and says she’s fine and will check in again soon. Tripp tells Joey that now that they know both of their moms are fine, they can head back to Seattle. Joey questions Tripp being anxious to get back, arguing that if they stay, Wendy would choose him. Tripp says she would choose him so he’s saving Joey the humiliation. Tripp brings up Wendy being in to MMA which impresses Joey, who calls her like the perfect woman. Joey and Tripp toast to Wendy picking the best Johnson.

Wendy gets a text from Li and exclaims that he just offered her a good position at DiMera here in Salem. Johnny congratulates her on getting what she wanted and guesses that means they won’t be working together anymore. Wendy assures that they will because she still wants to know if Li and EJ worked with Dr. Rolf on Stefan and her new job puts them one step closer to the truth.

Stefan returns to the DiMera office. EJ asks if everything is okay as he was starting to worry. Stefan announces that he just got divorced as they just signed the papers and once the judge signs off on it, it will be official. EJ tells Stefan that he’s very happy for him and declares that he must be over the moon because Gabi is out of his life forever.

General Hospital Updates

Update written by  Dustin

On Pier 47, Anna answered her cell phone. It was Robert, who asked if Anna had tracked down Lucy. Anna revealed that Lucy’s assistant had told Anna that Lucy had planned to meet Victor on the pier for a sunset cruise. However, there hadn’t been any sign of Lucy or the boat. After the call, Anna started to leave, but she froze when she heard two shots ring out.  She ran in the direction of Pier 55.  Upon arriving on scene she discovered a shoe she believed could belong to Lucy.  Just as she began examining the show, Victor arrived feigning ignorance of Lucy’s whereabouts.  Anna questioned him and he taunted her with razor-sharp comments designed to provoke Anna.  It became clear to Anna that Victor had discovered that Lucy was working for her and that the entire operation had been compromised.  Dante arrived on scene and questioned Victor.  Victor’s driver confirmed his alibi that he had been nowhere near the scene.  Dante told him he was free to go but instructed him not to leave Port Charles.  As Victor left, he looked Anna directly in the face and said, “I do hope Lucy wasn’t the victim of foul play.”  Anna looked stunned.  Anna quickly pulled Dante aside to tell him that Lucy had been working for her to bring down Victor and that somehow Victor had found out.  Dante was very disturbed by this news.  He did remark that if anyone could survive Victor, it was Lucy.

In Diane’s hospital room, Alexis told Diane how frightening it had been for Alexis to find Diane injured on the garage floor. Diane questioned Alexis about goading the Hook killer in the Invader, but Alexis explained she’d been desperate to drive the attacker out in the open. Alexis conceded that the open letter might have been a bad idea and may have provoked the killer to strike again. Diane reminded Alexis that serial killers never need an excuse to kill. Diane told Alexis how much she appreciated everything she had done on her behalf.  Diane confessed that the attack had put things into perspective. “Am I living my life to the fullest?” Diane asked. It was a rhetorical question, and before Diane could elaborate, Robert appeared in the doorway. Alexis then left to allow Robert and Diane the opportunity to speak in private. Robert apologized if he had chased off Alexis, but Diane assured Robert that she and Alexis had enjoyed a long visit. Diane was curious if Robert had an update about her attacker, but he admitted there was no further news from the PCPD.

Robert asked Diane if she could possibly remember anything else about the night she was attacked. She assured him that she had given it a great deal of thought but all she could remember was that it was definitely a woman wearing bracelets that jangled. Diane admitted that her life had flashed before her eyes. Robert agreed because he had experienced that a few times over the years.

Later, Robert handed Diane a cup of water while she asked about his scars. Robert admitted that he had a scar from his cancer surgery, but he would not show it to Diane unless she bought him dinner. Despite the pain, Diane laughed. She acknowledged that Robert had had plenty of brushes with death, but Diane’s last injury had been in elementary school when she had broken her pinky toe while sliding into third base. Robert was surprised Diane had been a tomboy, but she asked him not to tell anyone because she had a reputation to uphold.  Robert promised to catch the killer and make the streets safe again for Diane, and she looked forward to sparring with Robert in court again. She warned him it would be awhile, but Robert vowed to visit Diane often. Upon leaving, he looked back in the direction of Diane’s room and smiled.

At the Metro Court restaurant, Kristina apologized as she approached Sonny and gave him a kiss on the cheek. She took a seat next to Dante as she explained that she’d been late because she’d been training someone to fill in as manager while she attended an out-of-town management program. Dante wanted to hear all about it, but first he insisted on ordering food because he was starving. Sonny smiled because a family dinner had been long overdue. Kristina glanced around and asked about Dex.  Sonny told Kristina that Dex was there and was on duty. She was pleased because she had never suspected Dex of being the Hook killer. Dante said it had been an error in judgment because it had been early in the investigation, but Dante conceded that new evidence had pointed the police in a different direction. “Told you — both of you,” Kristina said.

Alexis recognized Dex in the Metro Court restaurant and asked him if he had worked for Sonny.  He said, “I am working for Sonny and Mr. Corinthos is having lunch with your daughter.” Alexis was surprised that Kristina was there.

At the table, Dante looked at his phone, got up from the table and said that duty called. After Dante left, Sonny took Kristina’s hand in his and assured her that he was proud of all his children. “Even Michael?” Kristina asked. Sonny assured her that Michael would always be included even though things between them were not good.  Sonny told Kristina that he found it funny that even though Michael was adopted, Michael was by far the child of Sonny’s that he regarded as most like him.  Kristina agreed and held out hope that because of that the two of them would get past their disagreements and come to some sort of understanding.

Moments later, Alexis approached the table. Kristina and Sonny were thrilled to hear that Diane’s recovery was going very well. Sonny excused himself to give Alexis and Kristina a chance to talk. Alexis sat down, but she promised she wouldn’t stay. Kristina explained that she had missed Brando’s funeral because of work commitments and an out of town trip. Alexis reassured Kristina that she respected how important Kristina’s job was to her.

Alexis admitted that she sometimes questioned Kristina’s way of doing things, but Alexis was well aware that Kristina was a responsible young woman and would of course be recognized by her superiors for her great work ethic. “I am so proud of you,” Alexis said.

In the alcove, Sonny told Dex to take a couple of hours off, since Sonny would be having dinner with Kristina, but Dex said he was OK with staying since Sonny would be at the restaurant. Sonny thanked Dex for not holding what had happened to him against Sonny. Sonny acknowledged that “mistakes were made,” and Dex had been treated unfairly; however, Sonny said that Dex had proven himself and he had demonstrated the qualities of loyalty and discretion.  Sonny said those were two qualities he held in high regard.

Sonny revealed that he’d once had someone at his side who had embodied all the important qualities, but “he” was gone. Dex told Sonny that he would never be able to fill Jason’s shoes, but that he was prepared to step into his role. Sonny mentioned a position as a lieutenant in the organization, and Dex promised that he was ready for a new challenge. Sonny asked if Dex could think of anything more important than protecting Sonny’s family. “No, sir,” Dex answered.

At Pentonville, Spencer was working in the library when he was approached by Cyrus who greeted his great-newphew. Spencer was clearly not happy to see Cyrus. but Cyrus glanced at the scraps of paper in Spencer’s hand and explained that the Spencer told Cyrus he didn’t believe in him or his redemption story as he dictated it to Laura, but Cyrus reminded Spencer they were family. “I’m a Cassadine, and family is simply a means to an end for us,” Spencer said. Cyrus was disappointed by this because he said that he held family as the greatest of all bonds. Cyrus mentioned Laura and Martin, but Spencer yelled at Cyrus and told him not to speak his grandmother’s name.  Cyrus explained that he had only intended to convey his regret for having pushed away the two people who had meant the most to him.  Cyrus made it clear that he saw an opportunity in Spencer to make amends, but Spencer wanted nothing to do with Cyrus. Cyrus promised to look out for Spencer, but the prisoner known as “Book” sauntered in to pick up where he had left off with Spencer. Book warned Spencer that the Corinthos men couldn’t protect Spencer 24/7, and Cyrus was an old man.  Furious, Cyrus asked if Book was suggesting that Spencer join with Book. Spencer cut to the chase and asked what Book wanted. Book demanded that Spencer step down as librarian. Spencer wasn’t surprised to learn that Book had been working in the laundry room, but Spencer refused to give in to Book’s demands. Cyrus ordered Book to leave, but Book sucker punched Cyrus in the face. Cyrus quickly turned the tables on Book by slamming Book against the wall with Book’s arm twisted behind Book’s back. “Move on,” Cyrus said in a menacing tone.

Cyrus let Book go. Cyrus accused Book of having a shiv, prompting the guard to conduct a search. The guard recovered a shiv from Book’s pocket and removed him from the library with a promise to lock Book into solitary confinement. 

Spencer reminded his pious great-uncle that the Bible warned against bearing false witness, but Cyrus burst out laughing. “Apparently, God is not through with me yet,” Cyrus said. Cyrus said that his actions were just a way of “removing Book from Spencer’s sphere for a short time.”  Spencer decided to gift Cyrus with a new arrival. Cyrus was excited when Spencer gave him William Tyndale’s translation of the New Testament. “A book for a Book,” Spencer said. However, Spencer made it clear that the gift meant he owed Cyrus nothing. Cyrus insisted that he never had.

At Wyndemere, Nikolas was surprised to find Ava on his doorstep. She brushed past him, but he insisted it wasn’t a good time. Ava didn’t care because Nikolas had a lot to answer for. Nikolas offered to meet Ava at the Port Charles Grill later, but Ava refused to leave. Ava confronted him about Victor’s claim that Nikolas intended to file for divorce. Nikolas advised her that this was just his uncle Victor’s way of overstepping the boundaries that Nikolas and Ava had set.  Nikolas recalled his encounter with Victor outside Kelly’s when Victor had threatened to get Nikolas back in line if Nikolas didn’t divorce Ava. But, Nikolas vowed to spend the rest of his life with Ava.  Nikolas started to kiss Ava, but she pulled away before their lips touched. Ava claimed she had stopped by to pick up a few things that she needed to inventory before she closed the gallery. Ava said she needed access to the tower, but Nikolas stopped her. He claimed a pipe had burst, and the damage had been extensive. He promised that her things were boxed up and had not been damaged and that he would get them to her as soon as it was safe to do so.  Ava seemed pleased but doubtful Nikolas was telling her the whole truth at the same time.

In the north wing, Esme remained imprisoned, but she worked furiously on picking the door’s lock. “We won’t give up,” Esme told her baby. She picked up the wire hanger and returned to the lock. Her efforts paid off when she heard a click. “Let’s go see your grandfather,” Esme said. Esme opened the door, but she was horrified to find Nikolas blocking her exit.  Nikolas looked at Esme with a cold stare and said, “Going somewhere?”  He then threw Esme in the bathroom to allow him time to retrieve Ava’s belongings out of the tower.

Ava, seated at the bar at the Metro Court, was met again by Victor.  “Twice in one day,” Victor remarked.  Ava looked at him with a mixture of humor and disgust.  She told Victor she would no longer fall for his attempts to meddle in her marriage.

Meanwhile, somewhere on what looked to be a beach location, a woman in dark clothing managed to drag herself out of the water and walk onto shore. She then immediately collapsed.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Johnny is at the DiMera Mansion and calls Wendy Shin, leaving her a message to call back when she gets it because he has something important to talk about. The doorbell rings and it’s Tripp. Johnny didn’t know he was in town and invites him in. Tripp explains that he came back because of Kayla being seriously ill. Johnny mentions Marlena also being sick and asks how Kayla is. Tripp informs him that Kayla and Marlena are on the mend which Johnny calls great news and says he’ll have to give Marlena a call later. Tripp tells Johnny that he just came here to visit his mom but Johnny informs him that Ava left town. Tripp is surprised and asks why. Johnny reveals that EJ forced her to leave.

Wendy goes to see Gabi in her and Li’s room at the Salem Inn. Gabi greets her and mentions not knowing she was in town. Wendy is surprised Li didn’t tell her. Gabi says they have a lot going on. Wendy informs Gabi that she asked Li for a job at DiMera Headquarters but he shot her down. Wendy adds that she came here to try and convince him but points out that since Gabi is CEO, maybe she could overrule him. Gabi responds that she’s sorry but she’s not going to be able to do that because she’s not CEO anymore.

EJ trashes Gabi’s nameplate from the desk at the DiMera Office. Li questions that being necessary while EJ calls it enjoyable. EJ reminds Li that he said being engaged to Gabi wouldn’t be an issue which he confirms. EJ declares that now that he’s returned to his rightful position on top of DiMera, no unnecessary distractions will be tolerated. EJ states that his sole focus is running his empire. Li points out that it’s their empire as he wouldn’t have this position if not for him. EJ declares that he is CEO now and tells Li to be clear where he’s loyal since he knows what he did to Stefan.

Johnny informs Tripp that Ava and Jake were never really married and how EJ was ready to send Ava to prison for fraud but he made a deal to not press charges if Ava left Salem for good. Tripp can’t believe it and guesses Ava was ashamed to tell him. Johnny says he’s sorry and that he tried to talk EJ out of it since he really likes Ava. Tripp questions him feeling that way even after she tried to scam his family. Johnny responds that none of that mattered to him as much as Ava did. Tripp questions what that means. Johnny explains that he and Ava got really close after she moved in. Tripp questions how close they got.

Gabi informs Wendy that she was voted out as CEO this morning. Wendy questions who is in charge. Gabi informs her that it’s EJ DiMera and that he’s been wanting to get rid of her and anyone who supports her since he came back to town. Wendy guesses that means Li is out too but Gabi reveals that Li is staying on as EJ’s number two.

Stefan joins EJ and Li in the DiMera Office. EJ tells Stefan that he’s happy to have Li on board but it doesn’t change the fact that he took Stefan’s position. Stefan says they all want what’s best for the company. Li remarks that he wouldn’t have stepped in to the role if his father didn’t have doubts about Stefan. EJ argues that it’s obvious that Stefan is competent and once they prove that he’s capable of taking his rightful place as co-CEO, it’s only a matter of time before that happens.

Gwen has a dream about Xander coming back to her and saying he still loved her and wanted to get back together. Gwen then is woken up by Jack arriving.

Xander joins Sarah at the Kiriakis Mansion and greets her along with Maggie. Sarah talks about having a long night after an entire high school football team came in to the hospital with food poisoning. Xander reveals to her that he’s been upstairs because he swallowed his pride and asked Victor if they could move back in.

Tripp questions Johnny about how close he and his mom got. Johnny talks about how Ava was going through a really hard time after Jake died while he was bummed about Chanel leaving him for his sister, so they kind of leaned on each other. Tripp asks how. Johnny says they just gave each other a shoulder to cry on and that was it other than the time they saw each other naked but that’s not what he thinks. Johnny adds that there was also the time when EJ caught them in bed, so Tripp then punches Johnny.

Wendy questions Gabi about EJ naming Li as his second in command. Wendy then thinks back to Johnny’s theory that EJ and Li could be working together. Wendy tells Gabi that she didn’t realize EJ and Li had that kind of relationship. Gabi says they don’t and explains that Wei Shin and the board had doubts about Stefan. Wendy comments that it must have been a shock to Gabi when Stefan showed up. Gabi calls that an understatement. Gabi says when she lost Stefan, she thought her life was over and prayed for a miracle. Wendy points out that she got one but Gabi says he’s not the same man that he was. Wendy questions what she means. Gabi says it’s like a switch was flipped in his brain and now he hates her. Wendy asks if she has any idea why. Gabi doesn’t know how to explain it. Gabi brings up Dr. Rolf and says she feels like somehow in the process, he turned Stefan against her. Wendy asks why he would do that. Gabi responds that Dr. Rolf never liked her but admits going through that much trouble just to make her miserable doesn’t make sense. Wendy asks if it wouldn’t be out of spite. Gabi says there is always a larger purpose behind Dr. Rolf’s experiments.

EJ suggests getting down to business as he, Li, and Stefan sit at the desk. EJ declares that they must make sure they never lose control of the company again. EJ adds that they need to agree that everything discussed here remains confidential. EJ talks about Gabi being extremely dangerous so they don’t want to give her opening. Li assures he will keep his personal life separate from DiMera, so he has nothing to worry about. EJ doesn’t know why Li doesn’t get rid of Gabi altogether. EJ remarks that Gabi may dress nice but she’s a feral cat who used their family business to give herself respectability. EJ calls Gabi trash and argues that she did nothing for the company but taint it’s name. Stefan then interrupts and shouts that’s enough.

Tripp apologizes for hitting Johnny. Johnny understands that Tripp thought he was bragging about sleeping with his mother but clarifies that nothing happened. Johnny admits he would’ve done the same thing if he thought Tripp slept with his mother. Tripp guesses he’s sensitive when it comes to DiMeras because of how EJ treated Ava. Johnny doesn’t blame him and admits EJ was a total ass. Johnny adds that he really does care about Ava and thinks she got a rotten deal. Tripp asks if he has any idea where she went but he doesn’t. Tripp decides to see if he can track her down. Johnny wishes him luck in finding Ava as Tripp then exits the mansion.

Wendy tells Gabi that she’s kind of bummed not to be working for her anymore since she thought a female CEO at DiMera gave her hope about moving up in the company. Gabi says she was so impressed by her and was really looking forward to working with her. Wendy points out that they’ll still be seeing a lot of each other since Gabi is going to be her sister in law. Wendy asks when the wedding day is. Gabi says they haven’t set one yet but they will soon. Gabi tells Wendy that she will likely be the first to know. Wendy decides to get going. Gabi says it was nice to see her and she will let Li know that she stopped by. Wendy tells Gabi that for what it’s worth, she deserves better about the job as she then exits.

EJ questions Stefan if there’s a problem as he thought he couldn’t stand Gabi. Stefan responds that his personal feelings about Gabi have no bearing on his reaction but he just believes that speaking of ill about Li’s fiancée to his face is uncouth. EJ asks if he’d prefer he do it behind his back. Stefan then asks to be excused as he just remembered a pressing errand he has to run and exits the office. Li questions why EJ is pushing Stefan about Gabi and if he’s testing Dr. Rolf’s conditioning. EJ confirms that he is because he needs to make sure it’s working and given his behavior, he’s not sure it is. Li argues that Stefan only defended Gabi because of him but EJ doesn’t believe it. Li questions what they do if Stefan’s feelings for Gabi are starting to resurface. EJ suggests sending Stefan back to Dr. Rolf for a tune up. Li says that Dr. Rolf will just assure him he’s just fine. EJ argues that he’s wrong as Stefan might have cracked after another insult towards Gabi. Li accuses EJ of finding this amusing and enjoying it. EJ remarks that Li obviously doesn’t. Li decides he’s leaving. EJ questions what his problem is. Li complains about EJ’s total disrespect for him and the woman he plans to marry. EJ reminds Li that he just said he is loyal first to the company. Li tells EJ that he doesn’t appreciate him badmouthing his fiancée for any reason. EJ questions what exactly Li is going to do about it.

Jack brings Gwen flowers in the hospital and congratulates her because she’s finally getting out of the hospital. Gwen is surprised to learn she’s officially being released today. Jack confirms he’s here to walk her out which Gwen says she would like very much. Gwen tells Jack that when he walked in, she was dreaming of Xander. Jack knows how much Gwen loved Xander and that those feelings don’t just go away. Gwen acknowledges that Xander is happily married to Sarah and that she said she would let him go but after her accident, he was right there and had this concern in his eyes. Gwen feels it was like Xander cared about her.

Maggie questions Xander and Sarah both wanting to move in to the Kiriakis Mansion. Xander admits that crawling back to Victor was not his first choice. Maggie questions if they can’t afford an apartment. Xander admits he’s racked up debt at the Salem Inn and has no way of paying it off. Maggie brings up Sarah’s salary. Sarah mentions that she’s still on probation and not full time again yet. Xander adds that living in the mansion won’t be forever and only until he gets back on his feet financially which he hopes to be soon as he just asked Jack for a job at the Spectator. Xander mentions not getting an official offer because Jack got distracted by Gwen’s accident. Xander then thinks back to Jack realizing Jennifer hit Gwen.

Jack tells Gwen that she’s right that it was obvious how concerned Xander was and that he does care about her. Gwen assures that she gets that Xander chose Sarah over her. Jack just doesn’t want to see Gwen waste her time, pining away for someone who won’t return her feelings. Jack tells Gwen that she deserves happiness too. Gwen questions if she does after how she treated Sarah and Abigail. Jack says they all make mistakes. Jack encourages Gwen to think about what she’s going to do with the rest of her life when she gets out of here and to focus on the future. Gwen questions what future since she doesn’t have a job or a home. Jack says there’s something he can do about that in the short term and invites her to come home with him.

Wendy walks through the town square and listens to Johnny’s voicemail. Johnny then approaches and says he’s been trying to get in touch with her. Wendy says she just got his message and she has something important to talk to him about too. Johnny suggests they take this somewhere more private.

EJ tells Li that he meant every word he said about Gabi and questions if he’s going to defend her. Tripp then bursts in and confronts EJ, asking who the hell he thinks he is. Tripp informs EJ that Johnny just told him everything so he knows that EJ forced his mom to leave town. EJ mocks everyone throwing temper tantrums today. EJ tells Tripp that Ava got exactly what she deserved for trying to defraud his family and company. Tripp argues that Ava was grieving and trying to keep her head above water. EJ remarks that she just made up a lie about his dead brother. Tripp complains that even if Ava and Jake weren’t married, they were engaged and they loved each other. EJ brings up Ava jumping in to bed with Johnny. Tripp tells EJ that he’s too late if he’s trying to shock him because Johnny already explained everything. EJ wants to know how Tripp reacted to that. Tripp asks if EJ wants to know and then punches EJ in the face.

Gabi sits in her room looking at her engagement ring until Stefan shows up at her door.

EJ hopes Tripp punching him was worth spending the night in jail and threatens to ruin his medical career after charging him with assault and battery. Li suggests being lenient on Tripp, pointing out that Tripp and his brother saved his sister’s life in Hong Kong earlier this summer. Li says he knows Tripp is a really good guy, who just lost his temper because he’s worried about his mom. Li adds that if EJ calls the police, this becomes a major story and asks if he’s sure he wants that kind of publicity when he just took over. EJ reluctantly agrees not to go to the authorities. EJ warns Tripp to get the hell out before he calls security to drop him off the roof. Tripp thanks Li and then exits.

Johnny and Wendy go to Julie’s Place. Johnny goes over how they both have something important to talk about and asks who goes first. Wendy decides she will and informs him that she just got back from going to visit Li, only he wasn’t there and Gabi was. Johnny tells her that his news was the same thing; that Gabi has been ousted from DiMera, EJ is back in charge, and Li is his second in command. Wendy thinks this is exactly what they’ve been looking for. Wendy feels it’s proof that EJ and Li have been in cahoots all along. Johnny argues that it doesn’t prove they had anything to do with Stefan. Wendy mentions how Gabi said Stefan has been acting different ever since he came back, like he hates her without any reasonable explanation. Johnny asks if Gabi had any theories on why that might be. Wendy informs him that Gabi thinks Dr. Rolf might have brainwashed Stefan but also that Dr. Rolf doesn’t do anything without a purpose. Johnny wonders if EJ or Li put Dr. Rolf up to it.

Gabi questions what Stefan is doing at her room and guesses he came to gloat about voting her out. Gabi asks if he doesn’t have better things to do now that he got his shares and partnered up with EJ. Gabi questions him being here to taunt her instead of at the office with EJ. Stefan responds that he didn’t come to taunt her.

EJ wipes blood from his nose from Tripp’s punch. EJ tells Li that he hopes his sister appreciates him going to bat for her knight in shining armor. Li doubts it as they aren’t on the best terms. EJ asks why not. Li informs him that Wendy showed up in Salem yesterday and asked for a promotion at DiMera, but he said no way. EJ asks if she’s good at what she does. Li admits she’s the best, so EJ suggests he should reconsider since what’s best for DiMera is best for both of them. EJ tells Li that he should go find his sister and congratulate her on her promotion as he exits the office.

Wendy tells Johnny that maybe they need to talk to Dr. Rolf and asks how to track him down. Johnny says if EJ or Li put Dr. Rolf up to doing something to Stefan, there has to be a trail and says it’s worth looking in to. Wendy mentions that she already tried hacking in to Li’s e-mail but it’s protected. Johnny says if it’s a DiMera account, maybe he can help. Wendy says she’d need a high level DiMera password. Johnny says he doesn’t have that clearance but maybe he could get in to EJ’s. Wendy asks how since he can’t just ask him. Johnny admits EJ is paranoid but he had a severe injury a couple years ago and is still sensitive about lingering memory lapses so he writes everything down so he doesn’t forget. Johnny says if they could get in to EJ’s computer, they might not need Li’s. Johnny decides to head to the office now while Wendy decides to continue trying to hack Li’s e-mail. Johnny tells her that he will text her if he finds anything and walks away. Tripp then arrives and is surprised to see Wendy, who excitedly hugs him.

Gabi asks Stefan why he is here if not to gloat. Stefan informs her that he came here to deliver divorce papers as he imagines Li wants to get married soon, so she’ll need to be divorced first. Stefan says once Gabi signs the papers, he will file them and they can be rid of this mess of a marriage once and for all. Gabi points out that Stefan didn’t sign the papers. Stefan says he hasn’t yet. Gabi questions what he’s waiting for and tells him to go first.

Xander goes to the hospital and tells Jack that he wanted to follow up with him about bringing him on at the Spectator since he could really use a job. Xander asks if it’s looking good.

Tripp asks what Wendy is doing in Salem since he thought she lived in Alaska. Wendy responds that she thought he lived in Seattle. Tripp explains that he does and he came back because his stepmom had a health scare. Wendy says she’s sorry and asks if she’s alright. Tripp confirms that she’s fine now but he just found out that his mom disappeared.

Ava shows up in a disguise in Gwen’s hospital room and tells Gwen that she needs her help.

Johnny goes to the DiMera Enterprises office and sees that it’s empty so he begins searching through folders on the desk, believing the password has to be there somewhere. EJ then comes back in and questions what Johnny is doing there.

Stefan asks Gabi why it matters who signs the divorce papers first. Gabi questions why he didn’t sign them before he came if he hates her so much. Stefan assures that he wants this over as quick as possible, so Gabi tells him to sign. Stefan then takes the divorce papers but hesitates. Gabi questions what is stopping him from doing it. Gabi argues that she knows something in his brain is telling him to despise her, but urges him not to sign the divorce papers. Gabi knows he feels something and that something left inside of him still loves her. Li then comes home and questions what is going on in here.

Lily: Yeah. I feel confused, you know? Betrayed. I think it’s gonna take me a while to wrap my head around the fact that my own cousin was willing to hand over our family business to another ceo.

Billy: You know, I would expect something like this from adam, but not a decent guy like nate.

Lily: Yeah. I wonder if I even really know him, which is crazy. I mean, we — we grew up together.

Billy: Lily, don’t second-guess yourself about this, okay? I mean, I’m not gonna try and understand what he was thinking throughout this whole process, but if this is truly between him and devon, it’s got nothing to do with you.

Lily: You know, what hurts the most is that [Scoffs] I really believed that our family wasn’t like the newmans. You know? Or the abbotts. I mean, no offense.

Billy: None taken.

Lily: [ Sighs ] But I guess we’re no better than anyone else, you know? Or maybe chancellor-winters just changed us for the worse.

Billy: I am so sorry. I really wish that I could solve all your problems for you. Of course, there is one thing i can do. I could stick around until the ipo goes through, if we still decide to go through with that.

Lily: No, no, no, no, no. It’s up in the air. Devon’s opposed to it. I don’t know how jill feels about it.

Billy: Well, I am worried about the public perception once everyone finds out that nate’s been fired and if I’m walking away. And I want to be here to support you.

Lily: Thank you. I appreciate that. But I will figure it out.

Billy: Of course you will. You always do. But it wouldn’t be just for you. I mean, it would be me supporting my mother, as well. She co-owns this company, and it’s in flux. So maybe it is best if I stick around, at least till everything sorts itself out.

Nate: All I wanted when i joined chancellor-winters was a chance to be an active contributor, with ideas that could be implemented, and given a chance to become a success. But you were never going to allow that. So there was only one way for me to prove myself and really have a hand in things. When the opportunity arose, I grabbed it.

Devon: Nate, you grabbed an opportunity to stab the people in the back that gave you the space to even dream on that level.

Nate: That’s because i realized there was no actual opportunities for me at chancellor-winters. And why is that? You don’t know how to manage people.

Devon: Well, that’s the thing about opinions — because i never had an issue with managing anybody before you. And my track record speaks for itself. I’ve actually achieved a lot of the success you say you want, and the difference is I’ve actually done it.

Nate: You know, I’d like to talk to some of your employees, see how they feel about your management style, because, if you ask me, I’d say you don’t know how to delegate. You refuse to trust anyone’s business sense unless it’s your own. And in your mind, no answer is right unless it’s coming from you.

Devon: I swear, I feel like you’re messing with me at this point — ’cause I know you’re not dumb. I know you understand how hierarchy works. A boss can take input from the people that work for them, they can listen to their ideas, but at the end of the day, they make the final decision and everybody has to be okay with it. And if they’re not, they can leave, like you did.

Nate: Hmm. Your ego is shining through and through.

Devon: How’s my ego shining? What happened to the nate that came begging for his job back, saying that he understood his role in the company and he knew what he did wrong and yadda, yadda, yadda. Where’s that guy at? Oh, I know what happened to him. He never existed in the first place because the only reason you came back was to get information so you can screw over your family.

Nate: This was always about business. It was never personal.

Devon: How do you figure it’s not personal, nate? How do you figure? Lily and don’t trust you anymore. So, that’s your family. Elena’s been staying in a hotel. I heard from memorial that she took time off to leave town. So, there’s your girl. That’s your family and your girl. It doesn’t get much more personal than that.

Nate: How would you know elena left town? What, are you victor newman now, hmm, hiring private investigators to stalk people? Now that I think about it, that sounds about right because you crave nothing more than control. Does amanda know you’re stalking your ex? Because I’m sure she wouldn’t like that.

Devon: Do you hear how you sound right now?

Nate: That’s not an answer.

Devon: It doesn’t deserve an answer. It’s as ridiculous as you are. You’re clearly mad at the world, nate, and it’s affecting every part of your life. You’ve alienated your family, you’re on the verge of losing your girlfriend, and it’s all because of decisions that you chose to make all by yourself, on your own. And yet you have the nerve to stand here in front of me and talk like you’re a victim.

[ Door closes ]

Sally: Hey.

Nick: Hey.

Sally: I was just going over the contracts for the licensing deal.

Nick: Cool. I’m not here to check up on you, just so you know.

Sally: I know. I didn’t think you were.

Nate: Unless there’s something I need to know about the contracts.

Sally: There’s not.

Nick: Alright. See ya.

Sally: Oh, wait. Actually, um, there is something, but it’s not about the deal. It’s about your daughter. Summer came by to see me earlier.

Nick: Yeah. I, uh — I saw her at society. She’s had a busy day.

Sally: I’m guessing we had similar conversations?

Nick: Probably.

Sally: According to her, you deserve better than me.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I’m sorry about that.

Sally: It’s understandable. And actually kind of sweet the way she’s so protective of you.

Nick: Eh, that’s not cool. She crossed the line.

Sally: Okay. But there was definitely part of me that was tempted to let her have it. But I took the high road, and I told her that we were just… friends.

Nick: Yup. That’s what I told her, too.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Lily: Look, I understand and I respect your reasons for wanting to stay on, but you have been wanting to leave chancellor-winters for a while, and I don’t want to hold you back from what’s coming next for you.

Billy: You’re not. But I am a little bit worried about the optics, what people are gonna think if I walk away in the middle of all this.

Lily: Look, it’s fine. We don’t have to make a formal announcement about it, you know? You can just step away and — and move on, you know? And in that way, there’s no public concern of the stability of the company.

Billy: I just hate the thought of leaving you to deal with this on your own.

Lily: Billy, this is what i want, okay? And I want this for you. You deserve to find your path the way that I found mine. Besides, you’re still coming home to me, right? You’re not leaving me.

Billy: No, I’m not, and coming home to you will be the best part of my day every day.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] At some point, though, we will have to let jill know that you’re stepping away eventually.

Billy: Yeah, I know. But it’s best not to do that today. I think we need to focus on putting this nate-fueled ipo fire out. I e-mailed my mom and told her what happened. I have a feeling she’s not gonna take the news very well.

Adam: I, uh, overheard you and sally talking when I came in, connor. Can I ask you why you told mom you saw me inside? I know she wouldn’t want you to be here alone if she knew nobody was waiting for you.

Connor: It wasn’t a big deal. I’m old enough to wait alone.

Adam: Yeah, I know you’re not a little kid anymore. But you know mom, too. She wouldn’t want you to be here by yourself, not because she doesn’t think you can handle it, but because moms are super protective like that. We just want to make sure that you’re safe. Both your mom and I — we love you more than anything in this world.

Connor: You’re wrong.

Adam: What do you mean?

Connor: Mom doesn’t love me as much as she used to. If she did, she wouldn’t be acting the way she is. I brought in ensure max protein

Adam: Why would you think mom loves you any less? How is she acting?

Connor: She always seems sad now. Or she’s trying to prove she’s not sad.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Hey, it has nothing to do with you.

Connor: It feels like it does. She feels far away. Why is it so hard for her to just love me?

Adam: Listen. I-I promise you that you are mom’s heart and soul. She’s just going through a rough time right now. And I know it can be hard to be on the other side of that. And I am so sorry that you are feeling what you’re feeling.

Connor: I don’t know how to make it better.

Adam: It’s not your job to do that.

Connor: This has to do with johnny, right? She’s been like this since she told him he’s my brother.

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.

Sally: One thing you should know — I saw adam, too, and he looked like he had had a long night with a bottle or two of champagne.

Nick: Yeah. I saw him on the rooftop this morning.

Sally: You went looking for him?

Nick: Yeah. I wasn’t looking for trouble. I just wanted to talk to him.

Sally: How did that go?

Nick: He was, uh, pissed off and hungover. But beneath the anger and all the drinking, obviously he’s in a lot of pain. He, uh, brought up the two of us spending time together. It’s taken a toll on him.

Sally: Yeah, I got that sense, too. I’m sorry about that, but it doesn’t change anything.

Nick: It’s clearly taking a toll on you, as well.

Nate: This isn’t about elena or me. This is about you and the way you need to keep everyone under your thumb.

Devon: Hmm.

Nate: The second you lose a little control, you get all anxious and aggressive. You think you have the right to drastically change everyone else’s life, but nobody could ever have a say in yours.

Devon: And who’s everyone, nate? ‘Cause the only person whose life I tried to change for the better was yours by bringing you into chancellor-winters.

Nate: After you took away my old life.

Devon: Okay.

Nate: Mm.

Devon: So we’re back to this?

Nate: Yeah.

Devon: You haven’t forgiven me for your hand.

Nate: That’s right. I probably never will forgive you for what happened to my hand. You can’t understand that because it didn’t happen to you.

Devon: Well, hey, you know what did happen to me? You had sex with my girlfriend.

Nate: And in return, you took away my career, my purpose, my passion, and my drive. You dragged me to a place of uncertainty and depression. Yet and still, I wanted to forgive you. I tried so hard to let go of all that pain and anger. And — and for a while, i thought it was working. I was with the woman I love.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Nate: And you built a life with amanda. I figured holding on to all that resentment wasn’t serving anyone.

Devon: Yeah, but you clearly didn’T. You just let it grow.

Nate: No. No. Actually, it came back because of you. Being offered a place at chancellor-winters reinvigorated my hope and solidified my resolve to finally forgive and move on. I wanted to give that coo job everything I had. I wanted to put all my lost passion into something new and exciting. But what did you do? Stopped me at every turn. Wouldn’t allow me to do my job. This isn’t just about me. There’s something deep going on inside you, maybe something you won’t let yourself admit or — or haven’t realized.

Devon: [ Scoffs ]

Billy: I am not looking forward to this.

Lily: No, it is not gonna be pleasant, but we’ll get through it.

Billy: Yes, we will.

Lily: Hi, jill.

Billy: Hey, mom.

Jill: Don’t you “hi, mom” me, billy. I am not in the mood for polite conversation. I want to know how in the hell you let this thing happen with nate right under your noses.

Lily: It was a very unfortunate turn of events and something I would have never suspected from nate.

Jill: You didn’t know how sneaky and conniving your cousin was?

Billy: Okay, that is below the belt.

Jill: You know, when I agreed to your idea of merging chancellor and hamilton-winters to create a family company, i never dreamed that your family would be the downfall of your legacy, lily.

Lily: Nate will not lead to my downfall or the company’S.

Jill: Oh, I hope you’re right. You know, your determination was part of the reason why I put you in charge. I have to admit that I’m kicking myself, too. I think I have pretty good instincts with people. But I never saw nate as a threat. Although I have an excuse. I did not work with the man in the office day in and day out. You two did. So, again, I will ask you. How in the hell did you let this happen? Vicks vapostick.

Billy: I can assure you that lily is not sleeping on the job in any way, shape, or form, if that’s what you’re implying. Yes, there has been some tension between devon and nate, but lily has done everything she can to keep the peace, both balancing this company and her family.

Jill: Well, whatever approach she’s been taking obviously hasn’t been working, has it?

Billy: Well, it’s like you said — you haven’t been around to witness any of it, right? So you’re gonna to trust our account of things.

Lily: Billy, I appreciate you coming to my defense, but I am the ceo of chancellor-winters, and there are no excuses.

Adam: Giving up johnny — it was — it was a hard decision for your mother to make. It was all about trying to do what’s best for him. And your mother — she wasn’t in a place where she could give him the kind of life that she wanted. So she stepped back and she let aunt victoria be the mother that johnny needed.

Connor: It doesn’t make sense. Either you love someone enough to take care of them or you don’T.

Adam: It’s just… it’s not always that simple, connor.

Connor: Why didn’t she just give me to aunt victoria, too?

Adam: [ Sighs ] Y-your mother, she worked really hard to provide for you in the right way. And unfortunately, she was not in the position to do that for johnny when he was born. And not to mention, I would never allow you to be raised by somebody else if I was in a position to take care of you.

Connor: So, it was because of you.

Adam: No. No. We both wanted to raise you. We were overjoyed when you came into our lives, connor, okay? I know this news is a big shock. There’s a lot of changing in the family history that’s hard to get your head around. I mean, I had the same kind of thing happen when I found out your grandpa was my father. So I know how jarring it can be. But the one thing that will never change is how much your mom and I love you, okay? I’m your father, and I’m always gonna be here for you. You can talk to me as often as you want, anytime. Okay? If there’s one thing that I’ve learned, it’s secrets can cause harm to people. And that’s why your mother decided to tell you and johnny — because she did not want this secret to harm you down the road. You understand?

Connor: Okay.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Maybe you’re right that this is taking a toll on me. But on top of adam’s latest stunt, in the aftermath, I ran into connor at the coffeehouse.

Nick: You mean connor and adam.

Sally: No. Connor was by himself. Chelsea and adam had a misunderstanding, sort of. So I just kept connor company until adam showed up.

Nick: There’s a lot going on with the family right now. It’s probably hard for him to process it all.

Sally: Yeah, but adam being late definitely didn’t help. Connor deserves two loving, stable parents, and I can’t help but feel partially responsible if adam is falling short in some way.

Nick: You know, I love my nephew. He is a great kid, and I’m sorry he’s going through that. But, sally, you are not responsible for adam’s behavior, alright? Whether he’s a good dad or not is completely up to him.

Sally: But he doesn’t live in a vacuum. On some level, I do feel like i am partially to blame, and i know that connor thinks so, too.

Nick: Why would you say that?

Sally: Because he told me.

Devon: I’ll tell you what I’m not gonna do, and that’s stand here and let you make this about me — ’cause from day one, you have never been able to admit the fact or accept the fact that you’re a novice at chancellor-winters and you don’t have any experience.

Nate: Don’t act like I was a nepotism hire, not when I had other executive job offers.

Devon: From who? Don’t walk away from me. Who? Who are you talking about? Ashland locke? You think the guy that was using you to help scam people into believing he had cancer was excited about hiring you because of, what, your impressive résumé?

Nate: Wow. You want to take the gloves off? Let’s take the gloves off.

Devon: Sure.

Nate: Would you even be ceo if you hadn’t inherited a billion dollars to launch a company? Talk about starting on the mountaintop.

Devon: And do you know how many companies I worked for before I got that inheritance? I didn’t think you did. I had a track record back then. You don’t have one now. And you know something? That’s on me for handing you a coo job with that being the case. That’s my one mistake.

Nate: Your one mistake? Sure. Keep telling yourself that.

Devon: You know what? You’re right. Two mistakes. My second one was assuming that you were gonna approach a high-level job like this with some humility and maybe some intelligence even.

Nate: What did you want me to do? Call you sir, huh?

Devon: Come on.

Nate: Bow down to you like you were royalty?

Devon: Nate —

Nate: Would that have shown appropriate deference?

Devon: Don’t be dumb, man. Don’t be dumb. You know damn well the only thing I ever wanted from you was to respect my final word. And you couldn’t do that. You were too arrogant to see you weren’t qualified or to realize that when you make a big career change — I don’t know — maybe you got to take a step back for a second and learn the ropes. Wait for your time.

Nate: The time was never gonna come.

Devon: You made sure of that, didn’t you? You thought you knew what was best and you were the only person to lead the company in the right direction. So, what did you do? You set out to essentially destroy the family legacy that we’ve been building to leave behind. That’s what you did. And honestly, I don’t know how you brought yourself to do it. And you know what hurts more than anything, nate? This company is what I built with neil, okay? It’s what he and I shared together before he left this planet. And you want to talk about what I took from you? That’s what you tried to take from me. Did you know if you turn to cold with tide 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!

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Louisiana families are really getting good

Nate: None of this would have gone so far if you would have just been open to hearing my ideas, if you would have just loosened up your grip on the reins.

Devon: Nate, if I would have loosened up my grip on the reins, you would have run the business that neil and I built into the ground.

Nate: It’s not yours and neil’s business anymore. It’s yours and jill’S. And lily is jill’s ceo.

Devon: Oh, so you do understand hierarchy. I thought you might. And let me break this down for you so you understand it, okay? Half the company is called winters, as in neil winters. So a part of it is always gonna be his. And I had the privilege of learning from him firsthand. I got to see his example, and he set a standard of professionalism that you would never understand. And we had a partnership that someone like you can never even aspire to have.

Nate: Wow. So, is that what this is all about? That nobody can ever live up to neil? You can’t get past your partnership you had with your father.

Jill: Nate showed his hand when he got upset on the call with you. But we just assumed that it was a personal dispute between him and devon and that it wouldn’t bleed over into business.

Jill: Except it did.

Billy: Yeah, we know that now.

Lily: Yes, and he apologized, and we gave him another chance because his apology seemed sincere.

Jill: Because he’s family.

Lily: I guess so. And that’s my mistake, and i take full responsibility for it. But let me just say this. The ipo hasn’t happened, right? And nate has been fired. So the risk of him selling shares to whoever he was colluding with is done. They’ll no longer be able to have majority share of the company. So no permanent damage has been done…yet.

Sally: Connor brought up how much adam used to smile when we were together. And when I first showed up at crimson lights, he thought maybe I was there to pick him up, adam and I had reunited, and he was just hoping that it might get his dad smiling again.

Nick: Sorry. Uh, kids tend to make sense of things the only way they know how, and it’s not always accurate. You know, a lot’s happened since you and adam got together, and then you broke up. With the family and the business, it’s not necessarily about you.

Sally: Yeah, I’m — I’m sure you’re right. But I just have to assume that adam getting drunk last night was because I rejected him. But I just — I can’t — I just can’t ignore the impact that I’ve had on him and, as a result, connor.

Nick: Sally, I — I really think you’re taking this logic too far. Adam’s a grown man.

Sally: I’m aware. And I know that he’s not my responsibility. But I just really hate to watch him suffer, especially when my life and my career is going so well.

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 not true.

Chelsea: Hey, guys. I realized you were gonna need this, or else you can’t do your homework. Maybe that’s what you were hoping for, huh? Um…connor, why don’t you, uh, go pick out a pastry so I can talk to your dad for a minute?

Adam: It’s okay. How much did you overhear?

Chelsea: Uh, just that my son doesn’t think he’s good enough for me [Sighs] Which I will fix. I — I’m — I’m gonna fix that. I’m gonna make this right.

Adam: I don’t think that’s gonna be as easy as it sounds.

Chelsea: I know you’re furious and that you probably blame me.

Adam: Look, blame is not going to help anybody right now, but connor is upset. He’s trying to process things a kid his age doesn’t know how to make sense of. So I think we need to bring in a professional to help our family deal with this information about johnny.

Chelsea: I know what that person’s gonna say — that i messed everything up and it’s all my fault.

Adam: I don’t think that that is going to happen. A good therapist wouldn’t talk that way. But we need an outside opinion for connor.

Chelsea: Okay. You’re right.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: You’re right. I just — I feel ashamed. I had the best of intentions, and I failed miserably.

Adam: No, this isn’t about failure. In fact, finding a way to move on from this is the opposite of that.

Chelsea: Well, I’ll do whatever I have to do for connor’s sake. But in the meantime, I was hoping you could help me with something.

Jill: I appreciate your focus and your willingness to take responsibility for what happened and your problem-solving attitude that you’re adopting.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Billy: It’s victoria.

Lily: Do you have to leave?

Billy: [ Sighs ] We had plans to spend some time together with the kids at the park. I can tell her I’m busy if you think that’s the best thing to do.

Jill: Oh, no, no, no. We can handle it from here. You go hug my grandchildren for me.

Lily: Yeah. Go.

Billy: I’ll catch up with you as soon as I’m done, okay?

Jill: So, lily, you said there had been no damage yet, and that implies that there still could be some. What else are you concerned about?

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Nick: It’s obvious, sally, you have some unresolved emotions that you need to work through.

Sally: I’m not gonna argue that point. I thought I was in a better place and that I was fully ready to move on from adam. Look, I love spending time with you, nick, but —

Nick: Hey. You don’t have to finish that. The last thing I ever wanted was to make things more difficult or complicated for you. Whatever is happening here with us, it needs to happen at a pace you’re completely comfortable with. If at all. I just don’t want to make anything harder for you or — or adam…or me. For what it’s worth, um, when i talked to adam this morning, it seems like he’s really heartbroken. I know his feelings for you are genuine. I also know he really, really regrets pushing the woman that he loves out of his life.

Adam: Whatever you need, I’m here. So, what can I do to help?

Chelsea: You can give me your support, not your judgment.

Adam: At what point in any of this have I judged you?

Chelsea: You don’t have to say it, adam. It’s written all over your face.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Chelsea, I really hope you can find a way to stop looking at me as the enemy. We’re on the same team.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Connor: Can you take me home now, dad? You said I could go riding later at the ranch.

Adam: Sure. Yeah. Let’s go.

Chelsea: Did you find anything you want to eat? I can get you something for the car ride home.

Connor: No, thank you.

Chelsea: Okay. Connor? I love you.

Connor: Love you. Suffering from sinus congestion, especially at night?

Connor: Are you saying you want to be family with johnny now, want to be his mother all of a sudden? Why? Did I do something wrong?

Chelsea: No. Connor, no. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am so proud of you. I’m so proud to be your mom. None of that’s changed. I-I thought you’d see this as a good thing.

Connor: Are you serious right now? What’s good about it?

Chelsea: Well, it’s a way to get closer to johnny. You know, you can get to know him better as brothers.

Connor: I don’t get it. Why are you making it sound like this is about me? It’s about you.

Billy: Hey there. You’ve been on my mind. How you doing?

Chelsea: Um, I’m sick of feeling sorry for myself. I’ve decided I’m not gonna let a string of bad luck grind me into the ground anymore.

Billy: Well, that’s good. I’m glad to hear that. I hope you can stay strong.

Chelsea: I am. Thanks.

Billy: Listen, chels, um, I’m pulling for you. But right now, victoria and johnny and katie are on the way to the park, and, uh, it’s probably best that you’re not around.

Chelsea: Right. Right. Okay. Thanks for the heads-up.

Nick: I realize adam has lost a lot. Most of that’s his fault. But, sally, if you are conflicted, then I got to step away. It’s not doing anyone any good for me to be in the middle of this. I mean, even when we try to be levelheaded, like last night at the coffeehouse, it just gives away to…the attraction.

Sally: Yeah, I guess we’re better at managing business than our emotions.

Nick: Yeah. It’s clear we have chemistry. A lot of it.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: But that’s not enough.

Sally: Yeah. It doesn’t change the fact that I need to figure out what i want.

Lily: My other major concern is tucker. Devon and I have suspicions as to why he’s really back in genoa city. He says that it’s to reconnect with devon or meet dominic and maybe make amends with ashley, but we’re not really buying it.

Jill: Mm. Good call. There’s always something else brewing when it comes to that man.

Lily: Exactly. So, you know, even if he’s not the ceo that nate has been conspiring with, that means that there’s still someone else out there looking for another way in. So, there are sharks in the water. And whether that’s tucker alone, tucker with other people, or someone else entirely, I want to make sure that we’re not caught with our eyes closed again.

Jill: My priorities haven’t changed. You were correct when you said that with nate out, there is no one on the team who would sell their shares, giving an outsider a majority control. So I have every intention of moving forward with the ipo, and I certainly hope that you and devon are on board. And now that we know that there’s a business predator out there, we just have to figure out who that is.

Nate: Do you think that by allowing someone else in, letting them grow and shine, that you’re somehow betraying your father?

Devon: I think you’re looking for something that isn’t there. That’s what I think.

Nate: Maybe. But if it does ring true in any way, I can understand. I know how hard it is to let go.

Devon: Okay, we’re done, nate.

Nate: No, devon, hold on. Neil wouldn’t want you holding on to his ghost. He’d want you to move forward and allow yourself and the company to be the best version–

Devon: I don’t need to hear what you think my dad would want ’cause you don’t have any idea what he would want. You don’t know what mattered to him. You don’t know what was important to him. I do. And what he cared about more than anything in the world was his family, and that’s the thing that you betrayed. He would never forgive you if he were alive.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

ava, I’m so sorry. Now’s not a good — you have a lot to answer for, husband. I would love to talk. How about later at the pc grill? Mm. How about now? No, now doesn’t work for me because you can’t be here.

[ Door rattling ]

[ Sighs ] I don’t know how big your brain is yet, but…I’m gonna need all the help I can get. How are we going to get out of here? Cyrus: Tear-aways. Hello, nephew. Tear-aways? Men tear pictures of women out of the men’s lifestyle magazines.

[ Scoffs ] That’s pathetic. Prison’s a lonely place. The magazines are full of holes. Just like your redemption story. Sorry. Hey. I had to train the manager who’s going to sub for me. Hey. Are you looking forward to your trip? It’s not a trip, dad. It’s a management intensive. Ah. Well [Sighs] I’m dying to hear all about it, but bear in mind, I’m starving, so I don’t want you hogging all the crostini. There’s going to be plenty of food. We are overdue for a — a family meal. Yes. Which guard have you got today, dad? Frank? Or is dex finally back? You scared me. You don’t scare easily. I’m always scared.

[ Chuckles ] I just manifest it as righteous indignation.

[ Monitor beeping ] So was it your fear that made you goad my attacker in your paper?

[ Cellphone rings ] Hi, robert. Did you find lucy?

No. And I don’t like it. Her assistant said that the event on her calendar was a direct reminder from victor about a sunset cruise leaving from pier 47. But, um… there’s no sign of her. No sign of a boat either. W-what are you doing here?

[ Gunshots firing ]


Dex is back. Matter of fact,he’s in the alcove. I’m glad you finally backed off thinking dex was a person of interest. That made no sense whatsoever. It kind of did, actually, kristina. It was preliminary stages of the investigation. We’ve since found evidence that points us in a different direction. I told you.

[ Scoffs lightly ]

Both of you. For a minute there, I thought you lost confidence in dex, too. That’s because for a minute there I did. So you know about the open letter? Well, as you might imagine, I’ve been very busy the last few days, but I have managed to find time to read a few things. And my reading material of choice is the invader. Oh. Well, thank you for your readership.

[ Chuckles ] When I saw you on that garage floor, I just wanted to do something. I wanted to get the maniac. I wanted to smoke him out, to goad him into slipping. Mnh-mnh. Her. Definitely a woman. Either way, good job on keeping your presence of mind to make that partial I.D.

[ Beeping continues ] I just thought the open letter was — was a — it was a good idea at the time. And now there’s another attack, so I hope I didn’t provoke her. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Objection, counselor. Speculation. You and I both know a serial killer doesn’t need an excuse to kill. I wasn’t the first victim. I’m certainly not going to be the last. I mean, it stands to reason. You made a valiant effort, and I so appreciate it. Still, I would hate it if I were responsible for anyone else having to go through what you have gone through. Hey, I’m still standing. Well, or, you know, lying. Sitting. Anyway, listen. And aside from…reading your provocative journalism, this has given me a chance to put a few things in perspective. Like what? Like… am I living my life to its fullest, hmm? Maybe there’s something else out there that I have been missing. “K-nock, k-nock.” There’s a sight for sore eyes. So was uncle victor telling the truth? Truth about what? He said that you decided to divorce me. Were you planning to tell me that our marriage is over, or was I just going to answer the door one day at nina’s and be served with papers? It’s not what you think. I… I don’t know to think. My head is spinnin’. Last I checked, you wanted this to work. I do. More than anything. Why does victor think otherwise? Look, I’d really rather not waste my time and resources bringing you back into line, but I will if I have to. I won’t be intimidated into giving up my wife. Well, I can’t say I blame you. Ava is a spectacular woman. Beautiful. Ruthless. Oh, and that wicked sense of humor. But, sadly, she’s also far too much for you to handle. He probably got the wrong idea because I’ve been so cynical about our chances. I mean, it’s not exactly like you’ve been giving me hope. Do you think you deserve it? Probably not. But I will spend the rest of my life trying to win you back. And I won’t let anyone stand in our way. I know I’m asking a lot of you. You’re the only reason nikolas hasn’t wrung my neck. Mnh! Ugh! Let’s try this again now, shall we? You’re my ace in the hole, kid. Your daddy knows it. That’s why he’s trapped us in here. I really know how to pick ’em.

[ Chuckles ] Just wait until you meet your brother spencer. You are right to be skeptical. In my previous life, I was a scoundrel by every definition. But I’m no longer that man. Now you’re reformed.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. I was faithless once, too. Oh, I have faith. Just not in men who say one thing and then do another. Oh, like your father. Or like yourself. You don’t know me. We’re family. No. No. I’m a cassadine. And family is simply a means to an end for us.

[ Sighs ] Now, that saddens me because I value family greatly. Martin and laura — do not say my grandmother’s name. I only meant to convey how much I regret pushing away the two people I wish to be closest to. In you, I see an opportunity to make amends. I’m sorry, but the adopt-an-inmate program has been discontinued.

[ Laughs ] That’s funny. This, uh, this uniform isn’t really your size, is it? And I — I heard that your bedding went missing again. Now, you could continue to endure this hazing, or you could let me look out for you.

[ Door opens ] Book: Careful. You rely on this old man, you won’t last another 10 minutes in this place.

[ Hushed ] I repeat, shots fired, pier 55.

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Water lapping ] Victor: Lucy? Lucy? What…? What’s that? Is that lucy’s shoe?


You work for sonny, don’t you? I’m working right now. Mr. Corinthos is having dinner with your daughter. Kristina’s here?

[ Sighs ] Oh, well, it’s a good thing we didn’t order anything yet. No! Yeah. I’m sorry. Duty calls, but raincheck on the family dinner? Yeah? Fine. Okay. I’ll see you. Thanks for nothing.

[ Chuckles ] Love you guys. Love you. What are you doing here? Well, I might ask you the same thing. I heard shots. As did I. I was on my way to meet lucy at pier 47 when I heard the shots. I told my driver to pull over in case someone needed assistance, but I don’t see anyone here. Aside from you, that is. I was at pier 47. Lucy’s not there. Well, then where could she be? She’s not answering my calls. Oh, I hope nothing’s happened to her. Oh, if it has, I’ll feel so responsible. I’ll never forgive myself.

Are you responsible? Well, it’s my fault if she was out here alone. I — I was running late, you see. And, well, if that shoe’s any indication, she was waiting at the wrong docks. Ah. It’s still voicemail. So you arrived just now with your driver? I’m going to call pcpd. I already did. I just want to make sure they’re en route. I’ll call the harbormaster. Prison is all about partnerships, cassadine. I’m just trying to keep my head down, so… well, you can go that route, but the attention you’re getting won’t, uh, stop at your fluff-and-folds. Take your hands off him. It’s all about who you know. Ain’t that right, old man? Now, you might think you have it made, but those corinthos guys? They can’t be everywhere all the time. And the best you’ll get by aligning yourself with this prehistoric pusher is an extra helping at meal time. So, you’re suggesting my nephew throw in with your lot, book? Like I said… no one can watch after you 24/7 in a place like this. It’s dangerous… and random. What do you want? I want my work assignment back. Mm-hmm. Where are you now? Laundry. Mystery solved. So, what do you say? Real protection for my old gig back. Ava: You’d fight for us? You want me that much? Clearly… you want me, too. How arrogantly presumptuous. Admit it. Ava, you still love me and you don’t want to give up on us any more than I do. I admit nothing. Then why are you here? Ava, the minute you think that I’m going to throw in the towel, and you show up? Don’t flatter yourself. Do you have another reason for being here? Yeah. Yeah, as a matter of fact, I do. I — I have to take inventory before I close the gallery, and I left some files in the tower. So I’ll go get them, and — and we can continue this conversation when it’s more convenient for you. Whoa, whoa. Wait, wait. You can’t go up there.

[ Chuckles ] Why not? What is really going on here?


I am very proud… of all my children. Even michael? I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to chase alexis off. Oh, you didn’T. We had a long and lovely visit. So what can I do for you? Have you apprehended my assailant? Not as yet. But I thought I’d drop in and see how you were doing. Went into the icu, they said you’d been upgraded, which, of course, I expected, you being a tough cookie and all.

[ Chuckles ] Well, I try.

[ Monitor beeping ] I guess this is the universe’s way, though, of telling me I should slow down. Too bad the universe can’t give us these messages in a less painful format. Indeed. So what can I do for you? I’m assuming, since there’s no update, you have some more questions for me? Yeah. I was wondering if, you know, some other little details may have crossed your mind. It — it can be totally insignificant. I’m sorry, robert. I’ve tried. Uh, I… aside from the fact that it was a woman with her jangly bracelets, the only thing I can remember is my life flashing before my eyes. That’s a thing, you know. They say that happens. Well, it’s true. Yeah. I’ve been there before… once or twice. Why exactly were you meeting lucy here? We were taking a sunset cruise. Really? I don’t see a boat. Hmm? Oh, yes, I — I know. Why do you suppose her shoe’s here?

[ Exhales sharply ] I haven’t a clue. What brought you to the docks, anna? I told you. Anna. I’ve got a call about a missing or abducted person. You know anything about that? Okay, so I believe that the shoe belongs to lucy coe. We found it down here. Well, actually, to be accurate, ms. Devane found the shoe. I arrived shortly after the gunshots. Two gunshots, quick succession. Small caliber weapon. I can’t be certain that this is the precise origin, but if lucy’s missing… is lucy missing? W-well, it — it seems so. We were supposed to meet here, and lucy’s nowhere on the docks, and my — my calls go to voicemail. Okay. Cordon off the area. Get csi down here, forensics. We need an underwater dive team with sonar equipment, okay? I’ll call the commissioner. So, detective, what do you think happened here tonight? I don’t know, victor… but I’m gonna find out. And I’m gonna start with you.

[ Esme growls ] Aah! Aah!

[ Screams ]

[ Screaming ] Nikolas: A pipe burst in the north tower. It’s unsafe to go up there, ava, and it’s a mess. Well, my files will be ruined. No, no. Don’t worry. Everything was boxed up. It was moved to a different area. There was no damage. Okay, well, thank you. Yeah. When the tower is structurally sound, I will grab your files and I will get them to you. Okay? Are you trying to get rid of me? No, it’s just the opposite, ava. It’s just you reminded me I have to get back to checking how the work is coming. It’s night. I know. But I have to meet the foreman tomorrow morning. I like to be hands-on. Can I walk you out? Yeah. Okay. I said that I would meet nina for dinner, anyway. Uh… so… about what uncle victor said… nothing could be further from the truth. I am telling you myself, there is no third-party intervention needed. I want you, ava. Ball’s in your court. Goodnight, then. Well, albeit a tempting offer… I think I’ll watch my own back. You heard my nephew. Mm-hmm.

[ Grunting ] Oh!

[ Gasps ] What was that? Feels like butterflies. Are you moving around or just giving me indigestion? Either way, I suppose you’re right.

[ Sighs ] Can’T… fall apart now and start feeling sorry for myself. I won’t give up.

We won’t give up.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sniffles ]

[ Lock disengages ] We did it, ace.


It’s all fabulous, it’s all glad. Let’s go see your grandfather. Esme. Going somewhere? Like I said, you know, um… I’m proud of all my — my kids, michael included. Even though we’re not blood related, he’s the one that’s most like me. I never thought he — he would be. He’s the first child that I raised. You think you know how it feels to be a parent until you become one. But aren’t things still tense between you and michael? “Tense” is an understatement. I… um…it’s over. I think it’s done. I don’t believe that. Michael is hurt and angry, but I know underneath all of that… he loves you, and he always will. Like you and alexis? Hi. Hi, mom. Um, have you heard anything from diane? Yeah, I just came from the hospital. She’s out of the icu, and she’s recovering by leaps and bounds. Well, that’s good to hear. Listen, have a seat. You can join us. I got to take care of something. Oh. Okay. I-I’ll just sit for a bit, ’cause I-I don’t want to take away time from your dinner with your dad. Either way. Diane said that you called. That was very thoughtful. She’s your best friend. Almost an aunt. True. I also saw the flowers that you sent to brando’s memorial. I’m sorry I had to miss it, but I’m getting ready to go out of town, and I can’t take off work right before I leave. But I’m sure you think me slinging drinks and wings is not as important as missing my cousin’s funeral. You know, the bible says if someone smite thee on thy cheek, turn to him also the other. Glad god approves.

[ Grunts ] Aah! Ah! It also tells us to put on the full armor of god that ye can stand against the wiles of satan.

[ Grunts ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Move…on. And if I don’t? You gonna drop the spiritual act and do what? Only god can judge you!

[ Door opens ] Problem here? No. He’s got a shiv. What? That so, book? No, I don’T. Well, looks like you’ve earned yourself solitary confinement. That’s not mine! This is bs! Aah! Now, what were we discussing before we were so rudely interrupted? You ha ve calls and texts you canback of your statement with? Yes. Yes, of course, detective. Valentin, when you get this, you want to call me immediately. It’s about lucy. Okay? Calling my son? None of your business. Well, I am right here, anna, and I do have ears. Well, he’s unreachable, isn’t he, as well you know. I-it’s such a coincidence, isn’t it, that he’s on his way to switzerland when all of this is happening. Wait, are you accusing my son of something? Charlotte has an equestrian event. She’d like her father there. That’s the only reason he’s there instead of here. That’s understandable, isn’t it, given how long it is since he’s seen her. Well, it’s quite natural for a father to want to support his daughter. What is a little less understandable is why you should feel the need to loop valentin into lucy’s situation. Because valentin is a major shareholder in lucy’s company, isn’t he? Oh, yes, of course. That’s right. I — I underestimated how heavily invested valentin is in deception. Officers are headed to lucy’s home and office. Your driver corroborated your statement, mr. Cassadine. Ah, good. So I’m free to go? Yeah. You can leave the pier. I mean, I don’t think it’ll do you any favors if you actually leave town. Oh, no, of course not. I’m not going anywhere. Please let me know if you find out anything. Oh, it’s all so troubling. I do hope lucy didn’t meet with foul play. I should have known how enterprising you can be after you stalked ava, framed trina, and you seduced me. Oh, it didn’t take much seducing. And I may be enterprising, but you aren’t remotely equipped for this. Do you really think you can just shove me in a room for six months without any preparation or planning? What is this? Amateur hour? How was I ever snowed by you? Oh, like father, like son. Shut up! You have taken everything from me. You blew up my marriage. My son is in pentonville. All because you came into our lives. I am so sick of you! What are you going to do to me? I’ll scream. Go ahead. Nobody’s coming for you.


How you holding up? Oh, good, boss. Yeah, you can go. You want to take off for a couple hours? ‘Cause dante left, and i just ordered with kristina. No, I can stay. Listen, I-I want to — I want to thank you for not holding what happened to you against me. Mistakes were made. You were treated unfairly. But one thing I just want to sayis the good thing that came out of this is now I know how strong you are, and most importantly, how discreet you are. That’s very, very important in this business. I just hope I’ve proved my loyalty. Loyalty is very important… it’s very rare, and I don’t take that for granted. Ava, twice in one day. What a delight. For you it is. I’m sorry. Have I offended you in some way? Have you forgotten the glad tidings you brought me earlier… ah. …About my husband’s plans to divorce me? No, but I have to say I’m a little surprised at your reaction. I mean, considering how my nephew betrayed you, I’d have thought you’d want to be well rid of him. We’ve been over this several times, uncle victor. Let me try it again. My marriage is none of your concern. Of course. Nevertheless, allow me to be candid for a moment. Much as I care about nikolas…

[ Sighs ] …He’s hardly your equal. Spencer: You set book up? Well, that’s one way of looking at it, yeah. Did you know that the guard was going to come back, or was that just luck? I believe in blessings, not luck. But I can tell you I’ve got connections book knows nothing about. People often mistake bluster for power, but real power is much quieter. Doesn’t the bible also say something about bearing false witness?

[ Laughs ] Ah, apparently god’s not through with me yet. Evidently not.

[ Sighs ] It’s hard to reconcile sometimes, but there’s a spiritual world and there’s a real world. It’s — it’s not my job to take book off this planet, but i can remove him from your sphere, at least temporarily. And who knows? Maybe he’ll think twice approaching you the next time. Well, I guess I should thank you. I’ll settle for the benefit of the doubt. So tell me, are all of your injuries work related? Thank you. You don’t have a scar or a broken bone from something a little more pedestrian? Well, um, there was a scar from my cancer surgery.

[ Chuckles ] I’m not letting you see that until you buy me dinner. Or — or — well, maybe vice versa. Oh?

[ Chuckles softly ] Oh, don’t make me laugh. Ooh.

[ Monitor beeping ] Point taken.

[ Clears throat ] And point made. You are no stranger to brushes with death. For me, until this scar, which is very pretty, the closest I ever came was a broken pinkie toe from sliding into third in elementary school. You’re a tomboy? Shh. Not so loud. Everyone thinks I’m real classy.

[ Chuckles ] Ah, that tracks actually. But you get extra brownie points because of the fact somebody came after you with a hook. That never happened to me. It’s not a thrill I recommend.

[ Clicks tongue ] I can recall the times when i thought I was going to cark it. I felt… very uncomfortable at that… vulnerability. Maybe that’s why you and i have such empowering jobs. Or perhaps we’re just as tough as old boot leather.

[ Laughs ] Well, in any case… coming face-to-face with my mortality has been sobering. “We are not now that strength…” “…which in old days moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are, one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate… but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” Well, I-I was looking for lucy on pier 47, and I heard two shots, and they seem to come from this direction. So I arrived on the scene probably three, four minutes later. No one was here. Something caught my eye. It was the shoe. I — look, I-I can’t swear that that’s lucy’s shoe, but it’s definitely her style. Okay. Uh, back up. Why were you looking for lucy in the first place? I was worried for her safety. I thought maybe she was in jeopardy. Why would you be worried for her safety?

[ Camera shutter clicks in distance ] Anna, it can’t be a coincidence that you and victor were on the same dock. It’s not. I believe that he knew lucy was going to be here on pier 55, not 47, which is where I was informed she would be. Informed by who? Anna, do you think that victor had something to do with lucy’s disappearance? Yeah, I do. I can’t prove it, but yes. Okay. Well, I trust your gut. So, assuming that lucy is missing, why would victor target her? She was working for me… to get information out of victor so I could bring him down. I know, I know. She’s a civilian. I know. I was trying to get her to stop, but she refused. So I called her office to find out where she was, and they said that she was going on some sunset cruise with victor leaving from pier 47. I got down here. I came to try to extract her from the situation, but then I heard the shots. I came here. I found the shoe. So you think victor’s on to her? Yeah. I mean, an hour ago, I had no reason to think so. But now… I believe that he’s found out somehow… and he’s done something about it.


I’m sure you think I’m crazy to be taking off for this intensive. I mean, why go to the trouble to become a better manager when all I manage is a pub? Your job is important to you. And what’s important to you… matters to me. But…it’s just a job and not a career. I admit, sometimes I question the way you go about thiS. I’m not even going to pretend not to know why. But I see you being responsible, being enthusiastic, being recognized for doing a good job. And you seem happy. I am happy. That’s what’s most important. And what else is important is that I never want you to think that I’m not proud of you, honey. I am so proud of you. I had the best working for me — dedicated, steadfast. But he’s gone now. I know I can’t fill his shoes, but… I’d like to try. You kept your head. You came through for me. I need a lieutenant that I can trust. I’m your guy. In fact, I think I’m ready for a new challenge. Can you think of anything more important than protecting my family? No, sir. I’d like to get to know you better, spencer, but…perhaps I’m asking too much. So… cyrus, wait. This just arrived this morning. This is william tyndale’s 1534 translation of the new testament. That’s a seminal version. It contains his — his prefaces and his notes, and… well, I haven’t logged it into the system yet, so it’s yours if you’d like it. Bless you. Well, it seems only fair — a book for a book. And now I don’t owe you anything. Eh, you never did.

[ Pounding on door ] Esme: Nikolas!

[ Pounding on door ] Nikolas! Help!

[ Pounding on door ]

[ Esme screaming ] Let me out! You can’t leave me in a locked bathroom! Who is going to stop me? Nikolas, please. You’ve made your point. I shouldn’t have tried to leave when you were just trying to help me. I’m clearing this room, esme. You’ve lost your privilege of luxury. For the sake of the baby, I’m not going to make you sleep on the floor, but you’ll have little else. Nikolas, I am a mother of your child, not some prisoner! Do this and you’ll be sorry! I’m already sorry.

[ Pounding on door ] Let me out! Robert, I did not peg you for a lover of poetry. Nice to know I’ve got some surprises left. We ll, it will be no surprisewhen you catch that killer. But please make it soon. I’m doing my damnedest to make things safe for you again.

[ Monitor beeping ] You know… …I do like sparring with you in court. Going to be a while before we do that again. Guess I’ll just have to… come and spar in here. I’ll look forward to it, counselor.

[ Door opens ] I really do care for nikolas, but I’m also very aware of his limitations. And frankly, ava, you’re just too much woman for him.

[ Chuckles ] What is that supposed to mean? Oh, I think you know… but I’ll spell it out for you. You’re full of life, ava. You’re…vivacious and beguiling, a force of nature. I hate to see such a woman… wasted on the wrong man. Not that it’s one iota of your business, but who, pray tell, is the right man? One who would repay your loyalty with devotion of his own. You have someone in mind, have you?

[ Chuckles ] Well, as you americans say. I should… stay in my own lane. Suffice it to say, I do know the crushing disappointment of putting one’s trust in the wrong person. You and I, ava, we both deserve better. If victor is on to lucy, then he’s on to all of us, which means that this investigation is compromised and victor won’t be charged for his crimes. You’re talking about luke spencer’s death.

[ Exhales sharply ] God, I should never have done this. Hey. I should never have enlisted lucy to work victor. I was trying to keep her safe. Hey, for all we know, she still is. What are the odds of lucy leaving a designer shoe on the docks willingly? We have to assume that he’s figured it out and he’s dealt with her, and we both know what he’s capable of. But we know lucy… and what she’s capable of. She is relentless, and if anyone can survive victor, it’s her.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Wendy, listen, it’s uh, it’s Johnny. Gimme a call back when you get this. There’s something I need to talk to you about. It’s important.

Trip . I, I, I didn’t know you were in town. Come on in. Yeah, I’m just here for a while. Uh, I came back because Kayla has been seriously ill. I’m sure you know all about that. Yeah, of course I do. Yeah. Uh, my, my grandma Marlene has also been sick. How is Kayla? She’s down the mind, Thank God. And, uh, and so as your grandmother, really No, that’s, that’s great news.

Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. It’s a huge relief. I’ll have to, uh, give my grandma a call. Yeah, I’m sure she’d like that. Uh, anyway, I just came by to see my mom. Is she around? Oh, you, you didn’t know your, your mom. She left town. She moved away. Why? Uh, because my dad forced her to two.

It’s great to see you, Wendy. Uh, when did you get in yesterday? My brother didn’t mention. No, No. But um, in his defense, we have a lot going on. Then I’m guessing. He also didn’t mention that I asked him for a job at Damara headquarters. Then he shot me down. He said, No, sure did. So I came here to ask him to reconsider.

But since you’re ceo, maybe you could. Overruling, I’m sorry, Wendy, but I’m not gonna be able to do that. I’m uh, not CEO anymore.

Goods to bad A rush. Was that really necessary? Probably not, but it was certainly.

When I offered you this job, you said that being engaged to Gabby wouldn’t be an issue and it isn’t good because now that I’ve returned to my rightful position at top to mirror, no unnecessary distractions will be tolerated. My sole focus is running my empire, our empire. You wouldn’t have this position if it weren’t for me.

However, I’m the one who is here. I’m CEO now, so let’s be clear why your loyalties lie, especially since I know what you did to my brother.

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

So are, are you saying that my mom and Jake were never even married? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, my, my dad hired a team of detectives and. They were able to prove that Ava concocted that whole lie. He was ready to send her to prison for fraud, so it took off. He made a deal with her. He agreed he wouldn’t press charges if she agreed to leave Salem for good.

I, I, I don’t believe this if. I guess you didn’t tell me because she was ashamed. I’m sorry. For what it’s worth, um, I, I tried to talk him out of it. I really like your mom. Yeah. Even if she’s tried to scam your family. Nah. It’s just business. So the damaris lose a little pocket change. None of that mattered to me as much as your mom did.

What does that mean? Faster. She moved in. She and I got really close. Oh really? How close

you? You were voted out as ceo. That sucks. Just happened this morning. So who’s in charge E, Dara, Of course. Another entitled Straight White Guy. Yeah, but it’s no surprise to me he’s been wanting to get rid of me ever since he got back into town. Me and anyone who supports me. Guess that means Lee’s out too.

Nope. Nope. Lee’s still there. In fact, he’s being kept on Esky days number two. Oh, really?

Good morning, Stephanie. Morning. I assume you overheard me. Chiding Shin. I did, but I’m not sure over what? Well, it was on your behalf actually. You see why I’m happy to have Lee on board. It doesn’t change the fact that he only ascended to his current role by usurping your position. I was simply trying to keep the company on track.

We all want what’s best for the company, right? And I hope you know I wouldn’t have stepped in if my father hadn’t expressed his doubts about your mental competence. Doubts that are completely unfound. I appreciate the support EJ s Stephen. It’s obvious to me as it should be to anyone that you are totally com manis, and once we prove unequivocally to all concern that that is the case and that you are capable of taking your rifle places as my co ceo, it’s only a matter of time before that comes to pass.

It’s not right Lee. Of course.

Gwen. Gwen.

Oh, Quinn haven’t been able to start thinking about you. Oh, since I watched them wheel you in here after that accident. What? What you talking about? I’ll see you lying there looking so helpless knowing that you could have died. When that moment I realized I still love you, Quinn.

You love me. I never stopped loving you. I just keep thinking back to all the great times that we had, all the, the laughs and the love making. I miss those times. I miss you.

What about. Oh, Sarah was this ideal in my head. I convinced myself that she was the perfect woman for me, respected doctor from a good family, and then when she came back, felt obligated to reconcile. But now I realize that’s what it was, an obligation because the person I really want to be with, It’s you after all for kindred’s spirits, aren’t we?

Oh, and you. You are my one true love now and forever. That is, if you’ll still have me, if I’ll still have you of. Of, I’ll still have you. Oh, Sandra, I you, I love you with all my hots.

Uh, Gwen. Gwen

dad. Hi.

I can come back if I’m interrupting.

Good morning. Beautiful. Hi. Oh, and good morning to my equally beautiful mother-in-law. Oh, you know you don’t have to butter me up, Xander. You know I adore you. Just save those compliments for your wife. You’re exhausted. Burnt out, wife. Oh, bumpy nights. Bumpy and long. An entire high school football team came in with food poisoning.

You really haven’t lived until you’ve seen giant humans vomiting on one another. You paint quite the picture still. I think I prefer that to what I’ve been doing this morning. Why? Where have you been upstairs? I swallowed my pride and asked Uncle Vi, We can move back in.

Answer me Jay. Just how close did you and my mom get? Or you’re, you’re asking if, if we, Yeah, I’m asking if, Okay. Look, Ava was going through a really hard time, you know, it was right after Jake died and I was still pretty bummed about Chanel leaving me for my sister. Um, and we just kind of, you know, Leaned on each other, leaned on each other, how we just, we, we gave each other a shoulder to cry on.

And that was it. Yeah. Pretty much. Other than, Well, that there was that time we saw each other naked, but, But that’s, What’d you think? And then even when my dad caught us in bed, we just came,

EJ named my brother as his second in command. Yeah. Why do you think my brother and your father could be working together? I don’t know. It’s possible, right? They both want the same thing. I, I do don’t realize EJ and Lee had that kind of relat. Hey, don’t. So why wouldn’t EJ put his brother Stephan in that position?

The thing is that your father and the board had some concerns about Stephan’s cognitive abilities. I mean, the man’s been in a coma for four years. Must have been a shock to you when he showed up. It’s shock. That’s a, Well, that’s an understatement. You know, when I lost him. I thought my life was over. I prayed over and over for a miracle.

You got one? I did, but uh, it’s not the same man that he was. What do you mean?

I don’t know. It’s like a, a switch was flipped in his brain and now he hates me. Do you have any idea why? I don’t know how to explain it. Except. Except what? All right. Look, Dr. Wolf, he’s the mad scientist that we can thank for Stephan’s return. I just feel like somehow in the process, he turned my husband against me.

Why would he do that? I don’t know. Wolf Wolf’s never liked me, but yeah. No, no. Through that much trouble just to make me miserable. Doesn’t make sense. Okay? So if he did do something to make Stefan hate you, it wouldn’t have been out of spite. No, no. That’s not the pattern of this lunatic. Now there’s always some larger purpose behind his experiments.

Should we get down to business?

Now that Dira is back in the family’s control, we must make sure we never lose it Again, you’re here, but before we begin, we need to agree that anything we discuss here remain confidential. You don’t have any problems keeping secrets from your fiance, Dude, . I wouldn’t have accepted this job if I did.

Because thanks to her, long over you dismissal. She’s a wounded animal and that makes her extremely dangerous. The last thing we want is to give her an opening. I assure you, I will keep my personal life separate from Dira. You don’t talk in your sleep. Do you have nothing to worry? When it comes to Gabby and I, honestly, I don’t know why you don’t get rid of that woman altogether.

Excuse me. She may dress some nice clothes, but Gabby Hernandez is a feral cat who used our family business to give herself respectability as if that were possible. The woman is trash, a low red schemer. She did nothing for this company, but taint its good name with her. Nasty Bette. That’s enough.

Oh, yeah. Now, now you want to help me. Hmm? I’m sorry. I’m honestly not sure why that happened. It happened because you thought I was bragging to you about sleeping with your mother, which I did not. You didn’t. But but you just said Yeah, that my dad caught us together in bed, but nothing happened. Seriously.

Oh. Uh, be all right. I’m fine. Yeah. That my, my jaw’s gonna be a little sore later, but I’ll. I’m sorry, I, I shouldn’t have done that. Probably would’ve done the same thing if, uh, I thought she slept with my mother. So I guess I’m just a little sensitive when it comes to Damaris cuz the way your dad treated my mom.

Yeah. I, I, I don’t, uh, I don’t blame you. You know, it was a total s. But like I said, I, I, I really do care about your mom and I think she got a raw deal from my family.

Do you have any idea where she went? I don’t. Sorry. It’s okay. Thanks. I’ll see if I can track her down and I’m sorry. It’s okay. It’s okay. Just, uh, Good luck finding your mom.

You know, I’m kind of bummed that I won’t be working for you anymore considering my father’s rather retrograde ideas about women having a female ceo. Damara actually gave me hope about moving up in this. No, I appreciate you saying that, but Wendy, I was so impressed by you. I really wish we could have worked together well.

We’ll still be seeing quite a bit of each other.

You are gonna be my sister-in-law, right? ? Yeah, I am indeed. Yes. Your brother told me you were the. Person he called after he proposed. Yeah, I was honored to be his very first call. Congratulations.

So when’s the big day? Uh, well we actually haven’t said it yet, but soon, hopefully. Great. Keep me boasting, Coursey. You’ll probably be the first one to know that too. Thanks.

Well, I. I should probably get going. Yeah. It was really nice to see you and I’ll definitely tell Lee that you stopped by. Yeah, thanks. It was, uh, it was good to see you too,

Gabby. For what it’s worth, you deserve better. Better than you brother. No. I mean about the job,

Is there a problem? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought you couldn’t stand Gabby. No, my, um,

my personal feelings about Gabby have no bearing on my reaction.

I just believe that speaking Ill about a man’s fiance to his face is, uh, unco to say the least. Oh, you’d prefer I do it to him behind his back, You know, if you’ll excuse me. I just realize there’s a pressing that I have to run.

How are you pushing all like that about Gabby? Are you testing rolls conditioning? Precisely. I need to make sure it’s working, which given his behavior just now, I’m not sure it is. If you heard Stephan, He’s the only defending Gabby because of me. Oh, come. No, you don’t believe that anymore than I do. Okay.

So his feelings for Gabby. It might be starting to resurface. What are we gonna do? It might be time to send old Steph back to the good doctor for a tuna. Ralph’s just gonna assure you that his conditioning is holding up just fine. Then he’s wrong. One or two more insults to Gabby, and he might have cracked, at least by the very least, best an aneurysm.

I’m glad you’re finding this so amusing. You’re enjoying. Well, you obviously don’t. In fact, it looks like you might bust an UR yourself. I’m outta here not until you tell me what the hell your problem is. My problem is your total disrespect for me and the woman I plan to marry. Whoa. And here I thought your first loyalty was to D Mirror.

In fact, you just said as much of me a few minutes ago and quite emphatically at that. Well, I’m about to say something else quite emphatically. I don’t appreciate you bad-mouthing my fiance no matter what. The reason I really, And what exactly are you going to do about it?

Oh, at least for me. Oh, who else? Congratulations my dear. What for? For getting out of here. Finally. I’m here to spring. You really? Are they officially releasing me today? That’s what they told me. I’m here to walk you into the sunlight if you’ll let me.

Of course. I’ll let you. I’d like that very much.

So, so, um,

Dad, about, for what you saw earlier, Oh, oh, oh, no explanation necessary. You’re a grown woman. You have very right to, uh, have a slogan with a pillow if the pillows consenting

right.

I suppose I was dreaming well, it looked like a very nice dream, and unless you were fantasizing about the state puffed marshmallow, man, I can assume that the pillow was a stand in for Xander. Sadly, Gwen, I know how much you loved him, and I know that those feelings don’t simply go away because we want them.

And no, they don’t. And yes, I know that he’s married to Sarah and I, I know that they seem to be happy together. And yes, I know that I said that I would let him go. But, but what?

But after my accident, he, Hey, it was right there. He had this concern in his eyes. No, it was, it was, It was more than that. It was, It was like he cared about me.

You both wanna move in here. Well crawl back to Uncle Victor is hardly my first choice, but I see another option. You can’t afford an apartment. And I’ve racked up a fair amount of debt at the sale moon and I have no way to pay it off. So, Well, Sarah, you’re earning a salary? Uh, well half a salary cuz I’m still on probation, not full time yet.

Oh. And it won’t be forever. It’s just like getting myself back on my feet financially, which will hopefully be soon. Just asked Jack for a job. You’re gonna work for Jack at the spect. Well, I haven’t had an official offer yet, but that’s not cuz Jack was distracted. But I think Jennifer’s the one who had Gwen

Sanders. Jack was distracted by Gwen’s Aism of, Of course,

you’re right Gwen. Zander heard that you were hurt. It was obvious how concerned he was, and he does care about you, sweetheart. But honey, he chose Sarah. He loves her, and he chose her over me. Yes, I, I get it when I, I, I don’t want to see. Wasting your time pining away for someone who’s not gonna return your feelings,

you deserve happiness too. Gwen, do I? After what did to Sarah and to Abigail, I made my mistakes. We all make mistakes. You know what I want you to do? Is to concentrate on feeling better. Figure out what you’re gonna do with the rest of your life, not that you’re getting outta here. Focus on the future. The future.

What future I, I don’t even have a job. I don’t have a home. Well, I suppose there’s something I can do about. Least in the short term. How about if you come home with me,

Wendy? Listen, it’s, uh, it’s Johnny. Gimme a call back when you get this. There’s something I need to talk to you about. It’s important. Hey, Wendy, I’ve been trying to get in touch with you. Yeah. I just got your. I have something important to talk to you about too. Okay, well then, uh, maybe we should take this someplace a little more private.

I meant every what I said about Gabby. You want to defend her on good? Right ahead. What the hell do you think you are? Excuse me. How the hell did you get in here? Johnny just told me everything. I know that you forced my mom to leave town . Once we, they, we been throwing temper ats today. Oh, so you’re at.

Why would I? Your mother got exactly what she deserved. She tried to defraud my family and my company. She was grieving and trying to keep her head above water by making up a lie about my dead brother. Maybe they weren’t officially married, but they were engaged. They loved each other. Oh, is that why she waited a whole five minutes before jumping into bed with my son?

Didn’t he tell you that? Look, if you’re trying to shock me, you’re too late. Johnny already told me everything. Oh, really? And how did you. Oh, you wanna know how I reacted? I do. Okay.

One day, did you forget something?

Oh.

Oh. I hope that was worth spending the night in jail. Not to mention blowing your medical career after you were charged with a sort of battery. Let’s show the guy some leniency. Huh? Tripping. His brother saved my sister’s life in Hong Kong over the summer, so I’m not only grateful to him, but I know he’s a really good guy who just lost his temper because he’s worried about his mom.

Not to mention it, if you call the. This becomes a major story. You sure you want that kind of publicity, right? When you’ve just taken over?

Fine. I want to love the authorities,

but get the hell out of here before I call in security and have them drop you off the roof accident.

Thank you

so. You have something important to discuss? I have something important to discuss. Who goes first? I go first. That was easy. I just came back from visiting my brother. Okay. Only he wasn’t there. Gabby was, And it turns out that Gabby has been ousted from Damara. My dad is the new CEO And your brothers is second in command.

Yeah, that that was my thing too. I mean, this is exactly what we were looking for. Right. If this just proof that Lee and EJ have been in cahoots all along. I don’t know what does, I mean, it, it, it, it definitely looks that way, but just because they pushed Gabby out doesn’t mean they had anything to do with Stephan, except, Gabby also told me that Stephan has been acting different ever since he came back from the dead.

You mean like he hates her now? Yeah. Yeah. Without any reasonable explanation. Does she have any theories on why that might be? Well, she suspects that Dr. Wolf guy brainwashed him or. But she also said Ralph doesn’t do anything without a purpose, so maybe my dad or your brother put him up to it. Step. Yeah.

Why don’t you just come on in, but what are you doing here? Wait. I know you came here to code. You came here to rub it in my face that you voted me out. I bet you’ve been wanting to do that, right? Isn’t it great? You voted me outta your life. You voted me outta your company too. Yeah. I don’t, You have better things to do.

I mean, you got your precious. Shares you. You pointed it up with your heartless brother to vote me out. Shouldn’t you be at the office with EJ celebrating? Finally, send. You’re here taunting me, Gabby. I didn’t come here to taut you.

I hope your sister appreciates you going to bat for her night in Shin. I doubt it. I know exactly on me. Best of terms, why not? Jwe actually showed up in Salem yesterday and asked for a promotion here at Tamara, to which my response was, No way or words to that effect. She’s a coder, right? Yes. Is she good at what she does the best?

Well then perhaps you should reconsider. After all, what’s best for DE is best for the both of us now while I go and put some ice on my nose to stop from swelling. Perhaps you should go and find your sister congratulate on a promotion.

Maybe the guy we really need to talk to is Dr. Roth. How do we track him down? Well, if my dad or your brother did put Ralph up to 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 Lee’s email account. He’s got it well protected.

Well, if it’s dme, how maybe. All it would take is any other high level to mirror password. I could work my way in through back door. I don’t have a high enough clearance level for that butt. Maybe I could get into my dad’s how It’s not like you can just ask him. No, no. And he is a pretty paranoid guy.

However, he had a severe injury a couple years ago and he’s still sensitive about lingering memory lapse. So he writes everything down. That way he doesn’t forget it, but things. Passwords. Yes. And if we can get into my dad’s computer, we might not even need your brothers. We’ll see. Either way it would be a big help.

I’m gonna head over there now. Okay. In the meantime, I’ll keep trying to crack my brother’s password. I’ll text you if I find anything.

Wendy, Chris? Hey.

Hey, well, if you didn’t come here to float, then why are you here? Actually, I, uh,

I came here to give you these.

Imagine your fiance wants to get married soon, and last time I checked, you need to be divorced first.

Divorce papers? Yes. Once you sign them, I’ll go ahead and file and we can be rid of this mess of a marriage once and for all.

You didn’t sign them? Not yet, no. Well, What are you waiting for, Stefan? Why don’t you go first?

Hey, Jack. Um, Sorry to bother you mate. I, your assistant taught me. Oh, it’s all right. I was just checking. Going out of the hospital. What’s up? Well, I want to follow up with you about a conversation from the pub. Oh. What conversation is that about? Maybe bringing me on at the Spectator. I could really use a job, mate.

Is it looking good?

What are you doing here? I thought you lived in Alaska and I thought you lived in Seattle. I, I do, but I, I just came back cause my stepmom had a health. Oh my God, I’m so sorry. Is she, is she all right? Yeah. No, no, she’s fine now. Thanks. But, uh, I just found out that my mom disappeared.

It’s Flo my lovely dad. It’s not dad.

I need your help

dad.

Oh, come on’s. Gotta be here somewhere.

What you doing here?

Why does it matter who signs them first? Thus it doesn’t. Okay, well then why didn’t you sign them before you got here? If you hate me so much, wouldn’t you want us to be over as quickly as. I do. All right then sign away. Fine.

Here you go.

What’s to matter, Stephan? Can’t you do it? What’s stopping?

Nothing. Stephan, just look at me. Okay? I know. I know that there is something in your brain that is telling you to despise me, but if there is a shred of you in there that doesn’t hate me, that doesn’t want you to sign these papers, just don’t do it. Okay? I know that you feel something. I know that you do.

Even if it’s the tiniest flicker, I know that something left inside you still loves.

What’s going on in here?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: Just in the nick of time.

Thomas: Thank you.

Assistant: You’re welcome.

Steffy: Thank you.

Thomas: I think it’s gonna be good for us.

Steffy: Yeah?

Thomas: Yeah. I think we’re ready.

Steffy: Okay. Let’s get started. So, obviously, you guys know that, uh, my father isn’t here.

Paris: Yeah. Traffic was pretty bad.

Carter: Yeah. What else is new?

Thomas: He’s in aspen with our mother.

Steffy: Our parents are back together.

Katie: What?

Steffy: Yeah. My dad ended it with brooke and went back to his true love. Our family is finally reunited.

Hope: I– I wish I could help somehow.

Brooke: I just can’t make sense of it. I mean, ridge and I have had problems in the past, but we’ve always managed to work through it. But when did that change for ridge and why did ridge leave me for taylor?

Hope: But you don’t think it might have something to do with douglas’ custody?

Sheila: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You don’t need that. Spoils my view.

Deacon: What did I do to deserve my twinkle toes?

Sheila: Yeah. Well, I might only have nine toes, but I do still have nine lives.

Deacon: Ah. Lord, are you up there? Look, I– I know that I haven’t always been a good man, and I know you’ve sent sheila here to test me. And I’m just asking for some–

Sheila: Are you praying? Wait. What? Okay. Uh, the almighty told me that I need to lay down some– some ground rules.

Sheila: Oh.

Deacon: Yeah.

Sheila: Yeah. But you know what? I don’t like rules.

Deacon: Yeah. Well, here– here they are. So, rule number one, you get caught, okay? I had nothing to do with it. All right? You go to prison, you pay the consequences. Rule number two. Rule number two.

Sheila: Mm-hmm.

Deacon: You’re gonna stay here, you are gonna stay right here. Right in this apartment where you’re safe, okay? No crazy disguises. No little excursions to go see finn and hayes or taylor and steffy or whoever, you know? Just they’re off-limits. You got it? You got it?

Sheila: Yeah.

Deacon: Good.

Sheila: You know, listening to you barking out of all of these demands I– I gotta say though, that you’re very sexy when you’re serious.

Deacon: I am serious, sheila.

Sheila: Okay. I will abide by your rules.

Deacon: You will?

Sheila: Yeah.

Deacon: Okay.

Sheila: ‘Cause I don’t wanna go back to prison. And this dump is paradise compared to a cell. And I’ll do anything to stay out of prison and everything to make sure that I keep creating paradise for you, daddy.

Deacon: Hmm. Daddy like.

Hope: Please tell me it wasn’t the custody issues between the families that ruined your marriage because–

Brooke: Honey. Stop. I– no, you’re not responsible for what happened with ridge. But now that you bring it up, I have to say I’m not comfortable with thomas’s role in douglas’ life. That image of the knife is just stuck in my head. And it was right there by douglas.

Hope: Mom, douglas is perfectly safe. Okay? Thomas has changed.

Liam: Mm. I’m with brooke on this one. I know that’s shocking. But the guy has shown us how unreliable he is over and over again.

Hope: Okay. No, he’s not like that anymore. And I have spent plenty of time over at eric’s, I’ve seen it firsthand. And can we not change the subject here? Can we focus on you, mom? Because I’m tired of talking about thomas.

Thomas: Uh, yeah. So donna has had time to absorb the news, but this must be a shock and a blow to you. Brooke is your sister, and this is gonna be a difficult transition for her.

Katie: What– what are you even talking about? You knew about this?

Eric: Just since yesterday, katie.

Donna: Yeah. And– and we were hoping things would change.

Paris: This is crazy.

Carter: Ridge really ended it with brooke?

Steffy: Apparently my father did some deep soul-searching and then it finally hit him. He picked a future with my mom the way it should have been all along.

Thomas: Yep.

Deacon: I’ve gotta be a complete idiot. I mean, there’s no way this ends well. Me letting you stay here is gonna go down as one of the biggest mistakes of my life. And if you know anything about my life, that’s saying something.

Sheila: At least you’re doing it for a good reason.

Deacon: Oh, really? Enlighten me.

Sheila: You’re having the best sex of your life, you can’t deny that. And don’t forget the whole money thing. I’m in a position to get you some toys like that motorcycle you’ve been eyeing.

Deacon: You noticed.

Sheila: I notice everything. The better to please you, my dear.

[ Loud banging on the door ]

Bill: It’s bill spencer, convict. Open up.

Ever notice how stiff clothes can feel rough on your skin?

Hope: So you’ve heard nothing at all from ridge since he left for aspen? I mean, have you tried reaching out?

Brooke: Ridge was very clear. He wants to be with taylor. Though I don’t know what it is that made him want to leave me.

Liam: You don’t think it has something to do with my dad, do you?

Brooke: No. There’s nothing going on between bill and me. Ridge knows that.

Hope: So has ridge officially asked for a divorce?

Brooke: I don’t know really what’s going on. All I know is that ridge is in aspen and taylor’s there and they both spent the night there.

Hope: You think.

Brooke: I’m assuming. Sorry.

Hope: No, no, no. It’s okay. Don’t apologize.

Liam: You have every right to be hurt right now.

Hope: And we love you. Okay? We got you.

Katie: Brooke and ridge over? No, no way. This isn’t happening.

Paris: Yeah. This is really hard for me to wrap my head around and I can only imagine how unthinkable it is for the family.

Donna: Thank you. Yeah, we’re– we’re really worried about brooke.

Eric: So we are. But, uh, we’ll take care of brooke. Everything she needs.

Katie: This doesn’t make any sense.

Thomas: I’m sorry if the reason for our happiness upsets you, but I’m not sorry that my parents are back together. They never should have been apart.

Steffy: Yeah. Brooke had her time with our dad. She blew it. Well, I just wanted to let you know what was going on.

Eric: There’s something else, since we’re bringing everyone up to date. There’s some more news, sort of unexpected and, uh, not quite as joyful as you feel your news was. But, um, carter, you wanna tell them?

Carter: How do you know?

Eric: Quinn texted me. She thanked me for all her years at forrester creations.

Paris: Quinn is leaving the company?

Eric: Yes, she is. And she has already.

Carter: And not just the company. Quinn left me too.

[ Loud banging on the door ]

Bill: Come on, sharpe, open up.

[ Loud banging on the door ] Now.

[ Loud banging on the door ]

Deacon: To what do I owe this displeasure?

Bill: Believe me, being in here makes me wanna puke.

Deacon: Sure. Come on in here. If I knew you were coming I would’ve baked a cake. What’s this all about?

Bill: Am I keeping you from something?

Deacon: Why are you here?

Bill: Because I have news. Brooke and ridge are no more.

Deacon: No more what?

Bill: No longer a couple.

Deacon: Get out of here. I don’t believe you.

Bill: Ridge is back with taylor. And it wouldn’t surprise me if those two tied the knot.

Deacon: And you’re here for what reason?

Bill: To make it crystal clear. Don’t let that little pee brain of yours go to a place where you think you have a chance with brooke. ‘Cause I’m here to tell you it ain’t happening. You didn’t live this strong, this long to get put

Paris: Wait. So after all that, after everything quinn went through to stop you from marrying me, she just left?

Carter: Yeah. And I’m still struggling to process it. And what we did to you was so unfair. Should have been honest with you. I was in love with quinn, and I know she loved me. I know she did.

Eric: Yes, of course, she did.

Carter: That text, it’s the only contact you’ve had with her?

Eric: That’s all.

Donna: Quinn didn’t say anything to him before that.

Eric: No, not a word.

Paris: So you don’t know where she went?

Carter: No. Look I’m sorry my love life is hijacking this meeting. So can we just, uh, can we just move on?

Thomas: I’m really sorry, man.

Steffy: No apology necessary. I’m sorry. It is true I wasn’t the biggest fan of quinn. Her jewelry line did exceptionally well for forrester. So on that level, she will be missed. But today’s really about celebrating our parents’ reunion.

Katie: Well, just remember in all that celebrating, no one should ever count out ridge and brooke.

Hope: We’re going to be here for you, mom. Okay? No matter what happens.

Brooke: I still don’t understand it. I mean how are ridge and I suddenly over?

Hope: Well, if it’s any consolation, I don’t get it either. I don’t get why ridge went all the way to aspen in the first place. I mean, I know that things were a little tense because of the douglas situation, but–

Brooke: Yeah, not that much. I mean, we still could have worked through that. So what was it? What? Is it– is it bill? Is it because of your father? What? I don’t get it.

Hope: It’s going to be all right. Okay? It’s gonna be okay.

Brooke: Oh, honey. Thank you. I just–

Deacon: So brooke and ridge are over.

Bill: Hmm. That really surprises you.

Deacon: Doesn’t surprise you?

Bill: Hell no. And that proves my point. You’re not worthy, not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. You see, the reason none of this should surprise you is that it’s painfully obvious ridge always lets brooke down. And if you paid even the slightest bit of attention, you would know that. But I will give you some credit. You always seem to know when brooke is vulnerable, and that’s when you slither in bringing trouble with you like the gutter snipe that you are. Well, don’t even think about it. This is my turf.

Deacon: Your turf? That’s interesting.

Bill: Ridge’s loss is another man’s gain. And that man is me, not you. So I am giving you a fair warning. Stay away from brooke.

Deacon: And that’s because what? You’re– you’re staking your claim?

Bill: Because brooke will come to me and you can count on that.

Deacon: Look, man, I think you’re jumping the gun in this whole thing. All right? You’re looking at it all wrong. Yeah. Beat your chest and, you know, grinding your turf, whatever. But treating brooke like a piece of property, all that does is it shows that you’re the one that really doesn’t know her at all. And now please welcome ana montoya.

Bill: Brooke doesn’t want you, deacon.

Deacon: Well, then you’ve got nothing to worry about.

Bill: She’s been hurt enough by ridge. She needs a man that can make her happy. Well, that ain’t you. You are nothing but a two-bit con man, always looking for an angle. And I’m, well, me. And I will help brooke get over ridge while on my yacht, which I will fly her to on my private jet. Am I painting a picture that even you can understand, convict?

Deacon: See, bill, I think you’re confused on this whole thing. It– it doesn’t matter to brooke how many zeros the guy has in his bank account. You know, she follows her heart. And she’s gonna go where it leads her.

Bill: And it will lead her straight to me.

Deacon: Hmm.

Bill: Because I check every box, heart, soul, and wallet. So you see that you’re out of your league on every level. In fact, if it wasn’t for hope, brooke wouldn’t even wanna be in the same room as you.

Deacon: I’m sorry, bill. I– I can see that bothers you that brooke and I have a child together. Um, well, look, I think I’ve been patient long enough, so I’m gonna ask you nicely. Please. Pretty please. Go.

Bill: Well that I can happily accommodate because frankly, it stinks in here.

Deacon: This guy, man. I’ll tell you.

Bill: That’s just a reminder of who you’re dealing with. The dollar bill spencer.

Deacon: Hey, he’s got his face on the money. It’s pretty cool. I think he’s off his meds.

Sheila: Did I hear right? Ridge left brooke?

Brooke: Why? Why ridge? Why?

Operator: Child protective

services.

Brooke: Hello?

I’d like to report a child

in danger.

Operator: And your name,

ma’am?

Thomas: Brooke logan.

Please hurry.

[ Audio rewinding ]

Brooke’s voice: Brooke logan

please hurry.

[ Loud bang ]

Steffy: I’m guessing you heard the news.

Hope: Mm. A victory for the forrester’S. Or at least that’s what you’re thinking, right?

Steffy: What are you implying?

Hope: That I know how you and your mother operate.

Steffy: Operate? What exactly did we do?

Hope: You actively planned and plotted to steal my mother’s husband away.

Steffy: No, no, no. Um, my mother is not a homewrecker, so that’s, like, way off base. There’s nothing premeditated about it. My mom’s always been honest about her feelings for my father. She just never acted on it. My mom has more integrity than that.

Hope: Mm. Really? I think my eyes must have deceived me then because I was at eric’s and I saw the way she was flirting with ridge. How she took every opportunity to get her hands all over him while he was still a married man. So what integrity? Your mom went about this in the most underhanded way possible and you helped her.

Steffy: Okay.

Hope: But I’m not going to let you get away with it. You and taylor are not going to be the reason that my mom’s marriage gets destroyed. And I will do my damnedest to stop you.

Update written by Dustin

Outside Kelly’s, Britt thanks Cody for offering to help her sort through Peter’s things. She notes most people don’t want anything to do with Peter. Cody says that he won’t be scared off by Peter or Faison, because he could be related to Leopold if not Mac. Britt thinks he seems intrigued about her family and wonders why he wants to help her. He thinks they are similar, as he too has a past and knows what it’s like to try and move on from it. Cody tells her it’s not too late to just throw away the things her brother left her. She’s thought about it but wants to look through them one last time in case she missed something. Britt says that she would hate for something interesting from her family to fall through the cracks.

Cody and Britt head to her room at the Metro Court.  When they arrive, Cody tells Britt it must be nice living full time in a hotel.  He asks her to remind him to go to medical school next time.  Britt says that he has a nice set up as well at the Quartermaine stables.  Cody draws close to Britt and she says that they should get back to business before she has to go back to GH and Cody has to go back to the stables. Britt grabs the box that Peter left her. In it she finds an old ATM recipient, a money clip, and a stub from a parking garage. There is a set of keys as well as his passport. Cody identifies one of the keys as belonging to a safe deposit box. She wonders what could be in it. Cody suggests some things are better left unopened. However, Britt wants to find it and see what’s inside. Cody says there is only one way to figure out what is in the box for sure.

At the Metro Court restaurant, Victor and Lucy grab a table. Victor suggests they continue their interrupted cruise and take a sunset sail around the harbor. He says it could be conducive to doing business. Lucy says that she would like to know more about his business before they head out on a cruise. Victor tells Lucy that if she comes on the cruise, he will tell her everything she wants to know. Lucy says she needs to change into something more suitable for the boat, so he suggests they meet at Pier 55. She reminds him that the bartender was stabbed there, so Victor says he’ll have one of his security guards meet her to make sure she is safe. She agrees to see him later and heads out. Alone, Victor makes a call to someone and tells them Lucy accepted, as he knew she would.  Lucy has unknowingly played right into Victor’s hands.  Victor tells the person on the phone that they know what to do.

Ava meets Scott at the bar, and he advises her to cut ties with Nikolas. Ava informs him that she’s not staying at Wyndemere anymore. Scott notes that was the wrong move because if she stayed in the house she’d have leverage in any potential divorce. He feels she needs to file for divorce before Nikolas does, especially given the fact that he has been running around on her. Ava tells him no one is to know about that. Ava says that if she even hears the slightest peep that Scott has divulged that information that she will have him disbarred for breaking attorney/client privilege. Scott hates seeing her protect Nikolas, and she needs to find someone who deserves her. She says Nikolas wants to work things out, and she doesn’t know yet what she wants.

Later, Victor joins Ava and Scott, and Scott tells him that he is just another Cassadine who Ava needs to remove from her life. Victor agrees with Scott and tells Ava he plans to make sure she’s well taken care of in the divorce. Ava explains she and Nikolas aren’t talking about divorce anymore in case he hadn’t heard. Victor tells Ava that he thought Nikolas would have told her that he is in fact moving forward with the divorce. Ava storms out, and Victor asks Scott if it was something he said. Scott warns Victor whatever he is up to that he will protect Ava.

Lucy heads to her home and changes. She ignores a call from Anna, who leaves her a message to do as she says and stay away from Victor or there will be serious consequences.

Valentin stops by Anna’s place to tell her that Victor is sending him away to see Charlotte, but Anna warns this could be a trap. Valentin thinks it’s possible, but he needs to take that risk because he misses his daughter. She wants to go with him, but he can’t take her because of Victor’s terms. He hates to leave her, and they share a kiss. She cries if he doesn’t come back then she’ll never forgive him. He kisses her again and heads out.

Anna makes a call and tells someone that Valentin is in trouble and needs their help. She later makes another call to check up on Lucy and learns from her office that she’s meeting Victor on Pier 47 for a sunset cruise. She races out.

Later, Johann breaks into Anna’s place and searches for something. After searching all through the downstairs of the home he looks puzzled and says to himself, “it must be upstairs.”  Johann then heads up the stairs.

At Wyndemere, Nikolas speaks with a contractor about repairs on the house and tells him that there is to be no renovations on the north tower until further notice.  The contractor points out that winter is coming and that if they wait, the needed repairs will not be able to be completed until spring.  Nikolas tells him that that will be fine and reiterates that no one is to go near the north tower until he gives the OK.

Later, Nikolas visits Esme in her locked room and brings food, which he expects her to eat all of to nourish the baby. Esme says she hates milk and Nikolas says he doesn’t give a damn what she likes, the baby needs calcium. As he exits the room, Esme grabs a candlestick and tries to club him, but he uses the tray he brought the food on to slap it away. He calls her a psycho and tells her nobody missed her when she was gone, and that the only people looking for her are the PCPD and the only reason they are looking for her is so they can put her in prison. Therefore, he says she is better off locked up in the north tower of Wyndemere. She wonders what will happen after she has the baby. He says the baby will be given a great life, but she is expendable. He looks at her with a cold stare.

Nikolas tells Esme to look on the bright side, locking her up at Wyndemere will prove whether or not she is the hook killer. She swears she isn’t the killer and asks what will happen to her baby after it’s born. Will he give it up, or will he raise it with Ava? He tells her that is none of her concern and reminds her no one will miss her. Esme says that’s not true because her father knows she’s alive and back in town. She then tells Nikolas that she bets he didn’t see that coming. Nikolas accuses her of lying and reminds her that she claimed her adoptive parents were dead and that she didn’t know who her biological parents were. She admits her adoptive parents are dead, but her biological father is alive and a very powerful man. Nikolas says that whether or not her father is real is something that can never be known because she has told so many lies he simply can’t believe her.

Esme tells Nikolas if he doesn’t let her go then he won’t like how his story ends. He says her future is up to him after she gives birth, and then he will decide whether to toss her off the parapet again or throw her to the wolves. Either way, they will see if her imaginary father comes to her rescue or not. He leaves and locks her in.

Alone, Esme rants she’s a prisoner surrounded by Ava’s tacky taste in art. She gets an idea and pulls one of the wires used to hang the paintings off of one. She uses the wire to try and pick the lock to the door.

Downstairs, Nikolas finds Ava at the front door. She says she thought he was done keeping secrets from her.

Valentin boards Victor’s jet and finds a glass of champagne waiting. He sniffs it but doesn’t drink it. He calls Anna to tell her whatever she’s doing that he’s with her in spirit.

Back at the Metro Court, Johann meets with Victor and tells him it’s done. He also says Anna went to Pier 47 to find Lucy. Victor is pleased, as she will be nowhere near Lucy.

Down on the pier, Lucy arrives at Pier 55 and nobody is there. She calls her office and learns Victor’s invite said to meet at Pier 47, but she knows that is wrong.

Lucy sees someone arrive and asks, “What are you doing here?” A gun is pointed at her.  Lucy begs the individual not to shoot.  But, her words fall on deaf ears, two shots ring out.  Lucy has been shot in the stomach.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sally: [ Sighing ]

Sally: I won’t stop fighting for what I want… if you won’T.

Sally: [ Sighs heavily ]

[ Keys clacking ]

Sally: Do you remember when you introduced me to this nectar?

Adam: As I recall, you took to it right away.

Sally: Just like I took to you right away.

Sally: [ Breathes deeply ]

Sally: When I am overcome with inspiration, I have a hard time holding back.

Nick: Whereas I tend to do the exact opposite — overthink things. Sometimes it’s best, though, just to dive in, learn as you go.

Sally: [ Sighing ]

Adam: Wait a minute. Are you saying that you’re falling in love with me?

[ Knock on door ]

Summer: Hi. Busy?

Sally: [ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ]

Adam: [ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ]

Nick: There you are. You weren’t at your place. Took a shot you’d still be up on the roof.

Adam: Well, congratulations, nick. You found me, okay? Now, I strongly suggest that you turn around and you head back down those stairs.

Lily: So what happened when you confronted tucker?

Devon: Oh. I tried my best, but it wasn’t easy to get a straight answer out of him. And at first, he was shocked that I would accuse him of trying to pull a takeover of chancellor-winters.

Lily: Well, was it real shock or fake?

Devon: At first I thought it was fake, and then he swore up and down that he would never do anything to jeopardize our relationship or hurt me or my company.

Lily: Right. Well, I know that he’s saying the right things, but do you actually believe him?

Devon: Well, that’s the question, isn’t it? I have no clue. I would feel dumb if I did, just because this is exactly the kind of thing that tucker would do. And he has a long history of going after companies and taking them over. So, who’s to say? I really don’t know who to trust these days after watching nate do something that unforgivable to his own damn family. I’ll tell you that.

[ Door opens ]

Victoria: Nate, come in.

Nate: Thank you for meeting me.

[ Door closes ]

Victoria: The message that you left me yesterday has me a little concerned. I assume that the development that’s not good that you mentioned has to do with our takeover plans for chancellor-winters.

Nate: That’s right.

Victoria: Alright, well, why don’t you give me the details and we can adjust our strategy accordingly. I’m sure that there’s, um — there’s no setback that we can’t possibly handle.

Nate: I’m afraid this is more than just a setback. The plan’s been exposed.

Victoria: Well, how in the world did that happen? Elena’s the only one that knew what we were up to, but she wouldn’t possibly betray you like that.

Nate: No. It wasn’t elena. The person guilty of betrayal here is me.

Ever notice how stiff clothes can feel rough on your skin?

provided by…

Victoria: You exposed our plan?

[ Scoffs ] Why on earth would you do that?

Nate: We were just about to file the final paperwork for the launch. Everything was coming together smoothly. I had truly convinced myself that this was the right move to make for all parties involved — the opportunity we were creating for everyone to benefit from. Lily and devon were too cautious to take the company to the next level, but not me. And then elena walked into the office.

Victoria: Why?

Nate: To tell me goodbye for good.

Victoria: I’m so sorry to hear that. I fear that I may have played a part in her decision.

Nate: What do you mean?

Victoria: I ran into her after our meeting. I tried to smooth things out with her — for you.

Nate: And what did you say to her?

Victoria: I simply implied that you were making a very wise business decision.

Nate: I can imagine how that went over.

Victoria: Didn’t go very well, and she accused me of being the only one that would get anything out of this deal and said that I didn’t care how it was affecting your relationship with your family.

[ Sighs ] I’m afraid that I made things worse.

Nate: No. No. I can’t blame you. Elena already made her position quite clear.

Victoria: I just…

Nate: When, um, things came to a head at the office and she walked out on me, I realized i had to reevaluate everything.

Victoria: I wish you would have figured this out sooner, like when I gave you the chance to back out. I even asked you if this was gonna be worth all the problems it was causing in your relationship.

Nate: At the time, I thought I could handle it, make it work.

[ Chuckles ] But I was — I was fooling myself. After I confessed, I came home to elena and told her I came clean for us. But it was more than that. On some level, I knew I had to do it because deep down inside, I knew she was right. Not only could I not risk losing her, but I had to admit that I didn’t want to lose my family. Now here I am, having lost them all.

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.

Adam: [ Breathes deeply ]

Sally: Sorry, summer, i actually am quite busy here.

Summer: Really? You didn’t seem busy. It seemed like you were kind of drifting off the first two times I knocked.

Sally: Mm-hmm. Well, I am the ceo, and I have a lot on my shoulders, so often i contemplate what my next strategic move is gonna be, which is probably why I didn’t hear you knock. Sure, yeah, I can spare you a brief moment.

Summer: Yeah, I know you must be swamped trying to make a good impression here.

Sally: Exactly what brings you by you? You in the building visiting family, or do I owe this special visit just to see me?

Summer: No, it’s actually your lucky day ’cause I am here to speak directly to you.

Sally: Really? Well, why is that? Did you finally decide to take me up on my offer to promote your fashion house?

Summer: [ Chuckles ] No. Marchetti is doing amazing. Thank you. And judging by the way you do business, I don’t really want you anywhere near mine. This is about something else.

Sally: Hmm. I wonder what that could possibly be.

Summer: I want to know what’s going on between you and my dad, why you’re spending time together outside of the office.

Sally: You know, I don’t take all my meetings here. I mean, you know, people often do business over lunch.

Summer: This seems like a little more than a lunch meeting or two.

Sally: There’s nothing happening.

Summer: I saw you, sally, with my dad yesterday at crimson lights, and you definitely weren’t talking media outlets or having a meal. You were in each other’s arms. So just cut the crap and tell me what’s actually going on. And don’t even try to act like it’s innocent because it looked like anything but. Ladies…

Sally: I think you’re reading far too much into a simple hug. Nick and I are just friends. I don’t know about you and your friends, but mine offer me a supportive embrace and a little pat on the back every once in a while.

Summer: Really? You have friends?

Sally: Believe it or not, yeah, I do.

Summer: I’m gonna have to put that in the “not” folder. Just because we’ve stayed out of each other’s way lately doesn’t mean I trust you.

Sally: Well, rest assured, the feeling’s mutual.

Summer: Don’t think that I’ve forgotten the number you pulled trying to take over my old job at fenmore’S. So, yeah, the idea of you possibly dating my dad is beyond disturbing.

Sally: Okay, look, whatever happened back then is old news. I am not that same person anymore.

Summer: One more thing I find unbelievable.

Sally: Tell me, summer — why did you feel the need to talk to me about this? Why don’t you just go directly to your father?

Summer: Because I wanted to see what all of this was about first. I know how you like to operate, sally. So, just tell me. Are you using my dad to make adam jealous, or is this a power move of yours because my dad is now in at newman media and adam is out?

Sally: So, what is it that you’re trying to say, that it’s absolutely impossible for me to just enjoy nick’s company and he mine? Clearly, in your mind, there’s no innocent possible reason why we could be hanging out. It all has to be low and conniving.

Summer: You said it.

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.”

Lily: Look, I feel the same way, okay? What nate has done is incredibly hurtful.

Devon: What happened yesterday after I left? Did he still just try and blame everything on me?

Lily: Honestly, I don’t even remember anything that he said, really. I mean, I just — I’ve been in complete shock. I can’t even believe that he would do this to us. Billy is furious.

Devon: He’s not the only one.

Lily: And I keep trying to concentrate on work, but all i can think is, how could he do this, I mean, to his own family? He was so a willing to put us in a vulnerable position to where we could lose control of this place.

Devon: Oh, I know. Believe me. And I understand why it’s hard for you to focus on work, but I’ll tell you that that’s exactly what we all need to do. We need to clear our minds and figure out how to move forward strategically.

Lily: No, I know, and we were all systems go when it came to the ipo.

Devon: Right, and so was this other person that nate was working with. And assuming that tucker’s telling the truth, did he give any hints about who it is?

Lily: No. After everything, he didn’t tell me anything. So we’re facing an unknown attacker.

Devon: Well, that’s — that’s great. So, the smart thing for us to do, then, is to pull the plug on this ipo deal.

Lily: Well, look, we can’t make that call, okay? Not right now, anyway.

Victoria: I’m just so sorry that your decision to form an alliance with me has — has cost you so much.

Nate: Yeah. I’m sorry, too. For so many things, I mean, including letting you down. I know you were already making financial moves to free up the necessary capital to buy chancellor-winters’ shares.

Victoria: Well, yes, it did take a little maneuvering, but it’s nothing that can’t be undone. Right now, I’m just wondering when a furious devon and lily are gonna come banging down my door. I’m sure they’re not very happy with me.

Nate: You don’t have to worry about that. I never revealed your identity. I only told them that I was meeting with another ceo. And tucker mccall’s well-timed splashy entrance puts the spotlight on him as the likely culprit. And I refused to confirm or deny.

Victoria: I appreciate your personal loyalty. But the fact that you didn’t expose me makes me realize something.

Nate: What’s that?

Victoria: All is not lost. We could still pull off this takeover. I’m not sure I’m ready to give up on the idea of controlling chancellor-winters.

Nate: But their guard is up now, and they’re gonna be extremely cautious.

Victoria: Yes, but lily and devon see tucker as the only threat left. They don’t think I’m involved at all. And they think that you’ve given up. So you could still sell me your shares. You told me that you feel like you’ve already lost everything. So, what do you have to lose? This is gloria.

Nick: I don’t believe in curses. I believe we make our own destiny.

Adam: Yeah, of course you do, nick, because 9 times out of 10, you get what you want with minimal effort.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Look, you’re still in love with sally. I get it. And I know you don’t take those emotions lightly. But do you mean it when you say you’re going to accept this? Or are you going to do what you always do, and that is blame everyone else and punish everyone else for the situation, a situation that you created in the first place when you pushed sally away?

Adam: Don’t worry, nick, okay? I’m not gonna ruin any lives before I’ve had my morning coffee. And I’ll probably restrain myself after that. So, rest assured, you can run back to sally and tell her that you saved the day yet again. Meanwhile, I have a job to go to. Unless you’re going to take that away from me, too.

Nick: [ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ]

Summer: Look, I didn’t come here to throw around insults. The point is that my dad deserves better — much better.

Sally: Do you not see that what you just said is the exact definition of an insult?

Summer: Take it however you want. You just need to understand that my dad has had enough romantic drama to last a few lifetimes.

Sally: Yeah, thanks to your mom.

Summer: He deserves something clean and easy and honest. He has a big protective heart, and he’s got this overwhelming desire to save broken people. But you, sally, you’re not just broken. You’re a train wreck. And the last thing he needs is to be pulled into your disaster of a life.

Sally: Well, thank you, summer, for your sage advice. I definitely will take that into consideration. But just for the record, what i think he deserves is more credit from his daughter. Why don’t you just let him make his own decisions, like he lets you make yours?

Nate: I hear your argument about not giving up on our plan. Yes, it’s over between me and elena. And unfortunately, lily and devon may never forgive me. But the plan isn’t even possible anymore.

Victoria: Why not?

Nate: I had no previously agreed-upon contract for the shares. Neil willed me a seat on the board of hamilton-winters, but that never legally translated into an ownership stake, even after the merger.

Victoria: But when they do go public…

Nate: If they do go public, and I’m sure that’s all up in the air now. And they will never give me any shares. Even if I had stock, what elena said really hit me. She was right about the person i was turning into. And I need to decide what kind of man I want to be. And I have.

Victoria: Nate, listen, what we were planning — it didn’t make you a terrible person.

Nate: Maybe not, but what i was doing to my family was ultimately hurting them. And I never want to do that again because the man I want to be wouldn’t sell my shares to you or anyone. After neil passed away, he left me a seat on the board of his family’s company because he trusted me. How could I have forgotten that? The whole point of the merger was for all of us to come together. If I act now, I may have a chance to get my family back, and I need to focus on that.

Victoria: I can’t be upset at you for being true to your family. It’s something that my father instilled in me since I was very young. I want you to be successful.

Nate: Thank you for understanding.

Victoria: And I know that you were able to keep my name out of it, even under what i assume was extreme pressure from lily and devon. And then you came to me with the news right away, and that means a lot to me.

Nate: It was the right thing to do.

Victoria: I think I have a way to reward that loyalty. I assume that you’re not employed at chancellor-winters anymore.

Nate: I was fired. No surprise there.

Victoria: Well, I would like to make sure that you don’t stay unemployed for long. I’m gonna find you a suitable position here. Chancellor-winters’ loss is newman’s gain.

Kyle: Just checking to see if the plane is ready to take off. Did you stock the galley with chocolate-covered strawberries and champagne like I requested? Thanks. Good. Want the honeymoon to start off right. You look like hell.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Well, I guess that’s why you’re in the fashion division and I am not.

Kyle: What’s your problem, adam?

Adam: Hmm? Um, I wasn’t aware that I had one.

Kyle: Well, lately, you rarely even show up to work, and today you show up late and clearly in no condition to do any legitimate work. I told my father that you’d be nothing but a liability to this company, and every day you prove me more and more right.

Adam: [ Breathes deeply ] Want to wake up to smoother, brighter skin day 1?

“The young and the restless”

will continue. There’s nothing like hitting the waves.

Devon: Well, hang on now. Why are you against shutting down the ipo deal? ‘Cause if we go public, it’s gonna make us vulnerable again to another attack like the one we just avoided with nate.

Lily: Because it’s not up to me. Going public was jill’s idea. We have to check in with her and see where she stands.

Devon: She’s gonna be pissed that this even happened. That’s where she’s gonna stand. And I highly doubt she’s gonna want to open ourselves back up to it happening all over again, right?

Lily: Okay, look, I don’t know what she’s gonna do, okay? But we have to take it into consideration because she’s co-owner.

Devon: No, that’s fine. We can consider it all day and night, but at the end of the day, I’m not gonna do it. I’m not. Half of this company is called winters, as in what I created with our father. So it’s just as much mine as it is hers. And I’m not gonna let anybody have a shot at screwing up what we built again. So, if jill wants to insist on going public, tell her to talk to me.

Nick: Hello, supergirl.

Summer: Hey, dad. Thanks for meeting me on such short notice. Look, there’s something that i want to discuss with you, and i want you to be completely honest with me.

Nick: Alright. Hit me.

Summer: Please tell me that you’re not getting involved with sally spectra.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I’m assuming you heard that from your brother.

Summer: [ Sighs ] That’s not the answer that i was hoping for. Dad, I’m only asking you about this because I’m worried about you. You must realize how dangerous she can be, how this could end in disaster, the way that you and mom repeatedly did.

Nick: I don’t think either one of those women want to be lumped together.

Summer: No, you’re right. Mom is nothing like that viper. It’s the situations that are comparable — you getting involved with a woman who’s not completely over her ex. Adam and sally. Mom and jack. I just… I don’t want to see you go through that again.

Nick: Summer, I understand what you’re getting at, but right now sally and I are just close friends.

Summer: You really mean that? There’s nothing more complicated or emotionally risky going on?

Nick: It’s nothing for you to worry about, okay? And, honestly, if there was something going on with me and sally, I can take care of myself.

Sally: Connor. Hi. You here alone?

Connor: Mom dropped me off to meet my dad, who’s late. But I’m fine. I’m not a kid, you know.

Sally: You’ve always struck me as very mature.

Connor: You here to take me to dad? Because that’d be cool if you were.

Sally: Uh, no, actually, that’s not why I’m here.

Connor: Oh. So, you and my dad aren’t back together again?

Adam: That’s funny, kyle. But why are you criticizing me? Don’t you have an important meeting about evening gowns to get to?

Kyle: Just go home. Get some sleep before anyone else notices your raggedy appearance and lack of professionalism.

Adam: Well, thank you for the advice, but why would I be worried about people noticing how I look when I’m sure you will waste no time spreading the word about that? And be sure to tell your father that I can’t handle a job that you totally bailed on. Nobody would ever think you are bitter about that.

Kyle: You just can’t take the loss, can you? You could admit that you screwed up and deal with the fallout, but, no, that would be too easy. You just have to keep digging that hole deeper.

Adam: You see, I would explain, but you wouldn’t understand it, kyle. It would go right over your head. See, men like you will never understand men like me.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ] I hope I never will. But I’m done wasting my time with you because as of this moment, I am on vacation. So you can keep digging that hole until you bury yourself in it. I’m not gonna stop you. There’s nothing like volunteering

Nick: Why are you even worried about this, summer? I mean, shouldn’t you be off packing, like, 16 pieces of luggage for your honeymoon?

Summer: Ha, ha. Very funny, dad. And I’ll have you know I have already packed — very lightly, at that.

Nick: Look at you, going light. Is that, like, 15 pieces then?

Summer: I mean, I’m not gonna need much more than some swimsuits and sunscreen where we’re going. This trip to costa rica — it’s gonna be amazing, all thanks to my wonderful husband. And to top it off, harrison is gonna come meet us for the last few days.

Nick: Well, it sounds like a perfect honeymoon.

Summer: Yeah. What more could a girl want? Although, I have to admit, I’m a little bit nervous about leaving marchetti.

Nick: I think they can manage without you for a week.

Summer: Yeah, maybe the company can, but what about mom and diane working together, having their kids so far away that we couldn’t do anything if they did try to pull something?

Nick: Look, just try and let it go, okay? You and kyle deserve this amazing trip. Promise me you’re not gonna let anything interfere with that.

Kyle: I promise for both of us.

Nick: There he is.

Well, glad you came. I got to go. I love you. You two have a great trip.

Summer: Hey, dad? I let you change the subject this time, but the conversation’s not over.

Nick: I can’t even hear you.

Kyle: I have a feeling I know what that conversation was about — sally, right? After the earful you gave me last night about seeing sally and your father together, I’m sure you had plenty to say to him now.

Summer: Yeah. I asked my dad what was going on, and I also confronted sally about it.

Kyle: Well, how did that go?

Summer: They both claim to be just friends, but it left me thinking that there’s certain benefits involved. I — [ Shudders ] I didn’t dare ask for clarification.

Kyle: Yeah, I get it. Too upsetting to even imagine.

Summer: Yeah.

Kyle: I had an equally frustrating run-in with my replacement this morning. Adam showed up late to jabot, looking hungover.

Summer: You’re kidding me. What — what is he thinking?

Kyle: Nope.

Summer: No.

Kyle: No more.

Summer: We are not talking about sally and adam.

Kyle: Or our mothers or even the issue with the textile company that is pushing back our resort collection.

Summer: No, we’re not gonna let anything wreck this vacation.

Kyle: Mnh-mnh.

Summer: From this moment forward, we are on honeymoon time.

Kyle: Mm-hmm.

Sally: I didn’t realize that you knew that your dad and i were dating. I guess kids know a lot more than adults give them credit for, huh?

Connor: Again, I’m not a kid, okay?

Sally: Right. Sorry.

Connor: My dad was always in a good mood after he was with you.

Sally: That’s very grown-up of you to notice. And very sweet of you to say.

Connor: I mean it. He would smile and laugh a lot. I could tell he was happy for a change. Now my dad’s back to not smiling so much.

Sally: I’m really sorry to hear that. But maybe part of the reason he’s so serious is because of his new, important job.

Connor: No. That’s not it. It’s because dad misses you.

[ Cellphone pings ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Nick: Hey.

Victoria: Oh, good. You’re here. I need to talk to you.

Nick: Well, I can tell by that expression on your face something’s gone sideways.

Victoria: I’m sure that you’ll be pleased to hear that the chancellor-winters takeover deal seems to have imploded.

Nick: Didn’t want to do it in the first place. I thought it was gonna end up in a disaster, and it would have destroyed our relationship with devon and lily. I am curious about what happened, though.

Victoria: Nate had a major change of heart.

Nick: Well, I’m glad he saw the light, that family is far more important than climbing a corporate ladder.

Victoria: Actually, I think that his second thoughts had more to do with his relationship with elena.

Nick: Can’t fault him for that.

Victoria: I suppose not, but even though he sacrificed the deal for her, she still might leave him.

Nick: And I’m sure you blame him for your deal falling apart?

Victoria: No, not at all. I feel bad for him. Look, I know you think that I’m overly ruthless right now, but i would never let my ambitions get in the way of my friendships.

Nick: I’m glad to hear that.

Victoria: So, now that newman no longer has this major deal on the table, I am going to refine things closer to home.

Nick: Alright. Where do you want to start?

Victoria: Newman media. I want to replace sally with nate.

Nick: I cannot believe after everything that happened with your bid to acquire chancellor-winters that you would turn around and offer nate sally’s job.

Victoria: I haven’t offered it to him yet. But I did tell him that I wanted to find a place for him here at newman.

Nick: As, what, a consolation prize? This can’t be a knee-jerk response just because chancellor-winters slipped through your grasp.

Victoria: That is not what this is. Look, I know, for whatever reason, you’ve been in sally’s corner, but I’ve always thought we could get a much stronger person in the position.

Nick: Just hear me out. Nate may have changed his mind, but he was ready and willing to turn his back on his family and his company. He has proven that his loyalties are flexible at best. And now you want to bring him into our company and fire sally without due cause?

Victoria: And nate showed his loyalties to me when he came to me immediately to tell me that he was confessing to devon and lily that he was planning on selling his shares. He never mentioned to them that I was the ceo that he was plotting with. And, to me, that counts for a lot, nicholas.

Nick: So, is that what this job is — a bribe to make sure he keeps his mouth shut?

Victoria: No! No. I trust nate. And the way that he handled the situation showed me that he’d do a great job of running newman media.

Nick: If all that you told him was that he could have a position at newman, let’s find something else for him, preferably an open position so we don’t have have to fire anyone.

Victoria: This is the job that I want him to have. I told you from the very beginning that sally was not right to run newman media. My initial instinct was to fire her.

Nick: But then you realized you were wrong.

Victoria: No. I was swayed by her passion and her enthusiasm, which was a huge mistake. She never had the background for this job.

Nick: So, you’re saying an M.D. Has the appropriate qualification to run a media company?

Victoria: I appreciate that nate has been highly educated. And, yes, a ceo should be a graduate of more than just the school of hard knocks.

Nick: Look at our father. He was completely self-made. That never stopped him.

Victoria: Oh, my god, you cannot be seriously comparing sally to dad, can you?

Nick: Look, I am willing to talk about this later when we give it more time and thought, but I do not like this move, not now and not like this.

Victoria: Fine. We’ll table the discussion for now. But I want this to happen. Nate is a good man. He would be a great asset to have on board at newman media. You need to understand that, nicholas.

Nick: I do. But for now, we agree to do nothing.

Sally: So, how’s school going?

Connor: Okay.

Sally: Did you make any new friends?

Connor: Yeah, sure.

Sally: And what about hockey? Are you playing much?

Connor: Our season hasn’t started yet, but we’re practicing.

Sally: Yeah. I bet that’s keeping you busy.

Connor: Yeah.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] What about your mom? She busy, too? Was she in a rush whenever she dropped you off here by yourself?

Connor: No. I told her I saw dad in here so she wouldn’t worry and would just take off.

[ Sighs ]

Sally: Why would you do that?

Connor: I just wanted to get out of the car.

Sally: Well, you know, parents and kids get in arguments, right? It’s just temporary. They always make up.

Connor: This is different. Mom thinks were fine, but we’re not, not anymore.

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Devon: So, now it’s just the two of us. I’m gonna need you to help me understand what the hell is wrong with you and why you’d want to screw us over the way you did.

Nate: Mm. What’s the point in trying to explain things now? It’s over. I’m out of the company.

Devon: I’ll tell you exactly what the point is. This is your opportunity to finally explain everything to me and come clean. And since there’s no job on the table, there’s no reason for either of us to hold anything back, right?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

that’s very generous of you to help me sort through my brother’s things. Most people want nothing to do with peter august, alive or dead. I mean, it’s the least I can do to repay you for convincing me to get a dna test, figure out whether or not the chief of detectives is my dad.

[ Chuckles ] Well, if mac really is your father, you have a lot to celebrate. If you say so. I do say so! Mac is a great guy. This could be the start of something really wonderful for you. But no matter what we find among peter’s possessions… …my family’s legacy will haunt me to my grave. The secret that you’ve been carrying around… you sure you don’t want to unload it? I mean, it — it might make you feel better. Thank you, um, so very much for being so very understanding. I mean, I — I know I don’t have to apologize for being alone in your room, but it’s just with martin back in town, perhaps it’s how — shall we say — more appropriate that we meet in public. Well, don’t look now, but we are already being watched. Oh, I see that scott does not approve, perhaps, of my choice in dining companions. Next time I dump him out of a plane, I won’t include a parachute.

[ Clears throat ] Oh. Kidding.

[ Chuckles ] Kidding. Of course you are. Lucy i s refusing to endher involvement with victor, which means that we’re gonna have to intervene. Anna, I’m not gonna be able to help you. Why? Is he watching you too closely? Victor’s getting rid of me. I’m afraid mr. Baldwin is laboring under the delusion that I’m interested in dr. Liesl obrecht. So…are you? Currently? I only have eyes for you, my dear. Lucy: So it’s just a matter of time before I figure out what victor’s nefarious plan is, and then you — you get to take it to robert. I — I do hope martin understands. Right. Like you really do care. No, I don’T.

[ Chuckles ] But I know you do. Hiya, scotty. What, are you all alone? Where’s liesl? Uh, hiya, ava. She’s, uh, babysitting the grandkids. Wh– oh. Now, you do know that victor is no threat, right? Not to me. I’m fairly certain lucy coe can take care of herself. Yes. Yes. She’s a tough cookie. I’m thinking about you. Me? Yeah. I-I’m speaking to you here as your friend and your lawyer. You have got to cut ties with the cassadines, starting with that no-account husband of yours. Recent repairs on the points and lintels on the south tower have been completed in time for the first blast of winter. Excellent work. Thank you, sir. Hopefully, mrs. Cassadine will approve? Well, it’s mrs. Cassadine that I’m thinking of. That’s why there will be no repairs on the north tower. But, sir, if we don’t complete them before the — this is not open to debate. Further repairs will have to wait until springtime at the earliest. Is that clear? Yes, sir. Sign here. Until I say otherwise, the north tower is strictly off limits. Who am I kidding? There’s no way out unless I grow wings or I’m willing to risk falling into the lake again.

[ Gasps ] I guess I’m not the only one who’s trapped in here, huh? Yes, I know. You didn’t ask for this. Join the club. But we’re in this together. And I am gonna find our way out.


Believe it or not, I am a good listener, so whatever’s bothering you, I’m here. Yeah, see, that’s the thing. I did open up to someone, and he was very understanding. And not long after that, he was killed in a tragic accident. And, what, you think somehow those two things are connected? No, I-I don’t think the world works like that. It’s just the benefit I got from opening up was so short-lived, it’s hard to justify taking that risk again. And besides, you’re a horse whisperer. It’s not like you’re a priest to confide in.

[ Chuckles ] Well, I-I-I’m definitely not a priest. And I am damn good at taking care of horses. But, I mean, I’ve got other layers, too, just like you. You listened to me worry about whether I could live up to the heroic mac scorpio standards. So you really think I’m gonna be scared off by being reminded that cesar faison’s your dad and peter august is your brother? Remember, if mac scorpio is not my biological dad, that means that leopold taub is. So I do know what it’s like to be finding out that you’re related to bad guys. Except you seem intrigued by my family relations. Why is that? Look, I just offered to help you look through your brother’s belongings. That’s it. Given my brother’s history, most people run the opposite way when he’s brought up. But not you. So why do you want to help me? What does that mean? Victor’s getting rid of you? No. Should I be worried? He says he’s gonna let me go see charlotte. Not out of the goodness of his heart, obviously. People are starting to ask questions, why she’s been gone so long with no visitation. So it’s in his best interest to put me on a jet to go see her. Or he’s luring you into a trap. Of course I care about martin. He’S…a dear. Well, so is bambi, but I don’t see you living on berries and leaves the rest of your life. I see you enjoying much greater luxuries. Well, you know, martin is an attorney, and it’s not like he’s living on poverty row. He’s also a-a very kind man, and the last thing I want to do is hurt him. Alright, so that’s the last thing you want. What’s the first thing on your list?

[ Chuckles ] Well, I do so love this absolutely gorgeous necklace that you gave me and not to mention equally gorgeous and beautiful bracelet that matches perfectly. Well, it is one of a kind, after all. Just like the lovely lady who’s wearing it. So what was martin’s reaction to all these new additions to your jewelry box? Oh, I-I-I just made it clear to him that what we have is strictly platonic with… a dash of business thrown in. So what do you say we continue that business that was so prematurely cut short when my man johann fell overboard? You’re late to the party, scotty. I’m no longer living at wyndemere. I’m staying with nina in my old penthouse. So nikolas is all alone in that pretentious pile of rubble. Okay, listen, ava. I mean, y-you can run circles around me in the art world, but when it comes to legal matters, you know… and marriage? I mean…I’ve been there, and — and I know that marriages, they just don’t die like that. They are like… vampires. Y-y-you got to put a stake through their heart to end it. Do you — do you have something in mind? Yeah, yeah. You got to sort of figure this out because I-I — my hands are tied when you ripped up the prenup and the postnup. However, I-I think that things can be changed. But, you know, the biggest blunder you made was leaving the house ’cause the spouse that stays in the house has a leg up. But if we act quickly, I think we can fix that. And do what exactly? We got to undo nikolas before he tries to undo you. So we — we got to file divorce first.

[ Sighs ]

[ Keys jingling ] Nikolas: Step away from the door, esme! Now! Oh! So you’ve decided to feed me and your unborn child? How thoughtful of you. Honestly, I could care less whether you live or die. But I do care about that child that you’re carrying. So when I come back, I expect you to be a member of the “clean plate club.” Going forward, you should know I hate milk. I don’t care. The baby needs calcium. And what about what I need? And what you need? Speaking of babies, um… remember how we made this one?


Y not see it, but I actually think we’re pretty similar.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. I’ll bite. How do you think we’re similar? Well, there’s a big part of me that wants to pretend that I have no past — I can just shape my life the way I want it. No strings. No responsibilities. And most of all, no expectations. But you can’t run away from your past, can you? No matter how hard you try. You know, I-I-it’s not too late to just forget about the stuff that your brother left you and just dump it in the trash and move on. You don’t think I’ve considered doing just that? What’s stopping you? My brother wanted me to have these things for whatever reason. If there’s nothing of value, which there probably isn’t, at least I’ll know. But on the other hand, maybe there was something I missed. Something that might never come around again. Yeah, I’d hate for that to happen. Me too. Well, it’s your call. Let’s get out of here. Wait. W-where are we going? Look, this is victor cassadine we’re talking about. He’s perfectly capable of using my daughter as bait. What if he has decided that you are more trouble than you’re worth? You know, he — he knows that you are calculating, potentially lethal, and, if he’s honest, smarter than he is. If he’s honest. My point is that he is telling you what you want to hear in order to get you out of town and cut his losses. I think the odds are pretty good that he is laying a trap. So why would you give him that opportunity? Because I miss my daughter. I think we should continue mixing business with pleasure, starting with a sunset cruise around the harbor. Well, after all, our last attempt at a cruise was rudely scuttled. I think it only fair we try again. Anyway, the — the city lights are so very conducive. Conducive. Ah. Um… conducive to what? To work, of course. What else? Hm. Hm-hm-hm. Mm! Well, you know, before I could accept your lovely offer, I really don’t know absolutely anything about your business. Um, for example, I don’t think you have an office, not to mention the fact I don’t even think you have a — a mailing address. Ah, it’s really no different from yours. Ah. I sell…beauty. What are you selling, victor? Join me on the cruise and you’ll find out. Scotty, aren’t you the same friend who once told me that nikolas and I have something special and we shouldn’t throw it away? Yeah, but that was before you told me in confidence that he was running around on you! Yes, I told you “in confidence.” Confidence! Which means it’s covered by attorney-client privilege. Yeah, but, ava, we could get a big settlement. Scott, I’m gonna stop you right there. Nobody can know that nikolas cheated, okay? But — no one can know. If you breathe one word of it, I will turn you in for a violation of ethics and I won’t stop until you’re disbarred! Do you understand me?! Alright. I won’t mention the unmentionable. Good. And that means you can’t talk about it in written form, either. No texting or e-mailing about it. Nothing. Yeah, yeah. Good. But, ava, it — it makes me as mad as a hornet to know that you’re protecting nikolas. I’m — I’m not. Come on. Now, I-I’m gonna say this. You know, I-I’m trying to help you here move on with your life. You gave nikolas your best shot. It didn’t work out. So let’s help you find somebody that really… deserves you, hm? I haven’t forgotten. Neither have I. Why are we treating each other like enemies when… things could be so much more enjoyable between us? I haven’t forgotten every low-down, dirty trick you pulled to get ava out of my life or how you framed trina robinson for that sick video that you made, and I haven’t forgotten how you tried to turn my own son against me. Oh, so we’re back to the same old song again. Why don’t we talk about your wife attempting to kill me?

[ Scoffs ] Thank god that baby in your belly is half mine, because I shudder to think what it’s gonna inherit from your side. Oh, you have no idea. Enjoy your food. And don’t forget to drink every drop of milk.

[ Keys jingling ]


[ Screams ] Unh! You little psycho! Nikolas! Think about your baby! I might have done the world a favor. But cassadine blood is thicker than whatever is coursing through those veins. And you think keeping me a prisoner is good for your precious little heir? You know, people thought that you were dead, and no one shed a tear. For the most part, people were relieved. I mean, let’s face it — the only people that want you are the pcpd, and that’s just because they want to throw you in prison. There is evidence and testimony that you framed trina and you drugged oz haggerty. So you are better off here than in lockup. And what about after… I have the baby? The baby will be given around-the-clock care from the best nannies in the world. He or she will live in a lap of luxury going only to the finest schools in the world. And me? You…esme… are expendable. Ava: What are you doing? Well, I-I’m being specific here. Judges, they don’t like when you just throw some random number at them. They — they want to know what’s — what’s going on. And, you know, since I can’t mention the “unmentionable”… so what we got going is the fact that your stepson stalked you, his girlfriend lit your car on fire. So we’ve got to, you know, let the court know that the abuse, the mental abuse that you suffered at being married to nikolas cassadine. Okay, so you’re holding out for true love when it comes to your own life, but when it comes to my marriage, y-you want me to run to the nearest divorce court. Even though nikolas has made it clear that he really wants to work things out. Ava! That’s what he wants! What do you want?! I don’t know what I want. But I know that I don’t want you or anybody else to dictate what I should be doing.

[ Groans ] A sunset cruise in the brisk autumn air sounds delicious and heavenly and quite refreshing.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, but I — you know, I couldn’t possibly go like this. I-I’d need to change out of this old thing. Naturally, you’d want to change into your “business” attire.

[ Chuckles ] Uh, as a matter of fact, I do have something I need to attend to anyway. So why don’t we just meet at pier 55? I’ll, um — I’ll send a calendar invitation to your assistant. Oh, dear. You already have something on the books. No. No. No, no. Not at all. It’s just that that poor bartender was stabbed with a hook on pier 55. Oh. Yes. Of course. Well, don’t you fear. I’ll have one of my associates meet you at the pier. He can keep you safe till it’s time to board. So…do we have a date? I — I mean, a deal? Deal.

[ Chuckles ] Wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, there, missy. What the hell are you doing with victor? None of your beeswax. Look. You help ava. She needs it. I don’T.

[ Grunts ] The lady said yes. As I knew she would. Now it’s your turn. You know what to do. I haven’t seen my daughter in months. I got to go. Okay. I’ll come with you. No, listen, because if you get to see charlotte, then you will be focused on her, and you will need someone to watch your back. And if it’s an ambush, you will need someone to watch your back. No. Whether or not my father would eliminate me, he would definitely eliminate you. No. You’re staying here. I’m gonna go see charlotte. On victor’s terms?! What if we were talking about robin? Alright. I hate leaving you. I was hoping for another chance to wake up in that bed of yours. So it’s the bed you like. It’s an amazing bed. Hm. It’s soft. So soft. Really expensive. Hey. One more thing. I love you. If you don’t come back… I’ll never forgive you. If I don’t come back… I’ll never forgive me, either.

[ Door closes ] Hi. It’s me. Uh… yeah. There’s a lot of stuff happening. I’ll fill you in. But valentin’s in trouble. He needs your help.

[ Keypad beeps ] Oh. Uh, housekeeping must have skipped my room today. Living full-time in a hotel, huh? Remind me next time to go to med school. Oh, the new co-owner is a friend. She gave me a special rate. Uh-huh. But you have it pretty cushy, too. The quartermaine stables are a lot posher than some hotels.

[ Chuckles ] Well, that’s true, but a guy can dream, can’t he? What is your dream, cody bell? My dream? Freedom. You know, free to do what I want when I want… where I want… with the person that I want. Well, freedom may be the most expensive thing there is. So far, I haven’t even managed to save up a deposit.

[ Chuckles ] If that’s the case, then shouldn’t you be giving riding lessons to some rich divorcée or sucking up to the quartermaines instead of helping me sort through my brother’s stuff here? Well, you never know what you’ll find. When you least expect it.


uh, we’d better get to business before… before…? Before I have to go to G.H. And you have to go back to whispering to horses. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Okay. Here it is. Everything peter left me. Alright. Well… aren’t you gonna open it? I mean, that’s why I’m here, right? Maybe maxie was right. I should just throw it down the garbage chute and be done with it. W-well, I mean, think about what you were telling me earlier. You know, if you — if you don’t look inside the box, you’ll never get rid of the what-ifs. You’ll never fully be able to move on past your brother. That’s what you really want, right? Here goes. Alright.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Hm.

[ Beep ] Anna: Lucy, it’s anna. You listen to me. I am giving you fair warning. You either reconsider your options and you do as I say, or there will be serious consequences.

[ Exhales deeply ] Oh, lucy coe. You still got it. Now let’s put it to work. Hey, jesse, reload. So, did you have better luck with lucy than you had with me? I — I-I just don’t get it. Smart, sensible women. What do they see in the cassadines? I-I don’t get it. I don’t see their appeal. Well, suppose you ask the lovely dr. Obrecht. I believe she could fill you in. Eh, she’s already gotten rid of you. And lucy will, too. Ava, if you’re smart, you will cut your losses with nikolas while you can. You know, for once, I actually agree with baldwin on something. Look, I-I’m sorry you and nikolas couldn’t work things out, but… well, anyway, let’s just hope that the process moves as swiftly and painlessly as possible. I’ll even make sure it’s worth your while. What are you talking about? What — what process? Well, the divorce, of course. There’s a secondary benefit to keeping you locked away in this room until you give birth. Maybe not for you, but for the people in port charles. And what is that? We’ll be able to see if the serial killer who uses a hook continues to attack people. And if another attack does happen, that will prove that you are not the killer. How many times do I have to say it? It is not me! Tell that to oz haggerty — the witness that could clear trina’s name but was inconveniently drugged before he could testify. Oh, wait. You can’t question him because he was stabbed to death with a hook! Not by me! Only time will tell. And what happens after the baby is born? And you realize that I am not the woman who has been going around stabbing people? What then? Are you gonna put our baby up for adoption? Or, worse, try and convince ava to help you raise it? I’m not sure a cassadine could pull a rabbit out of that hat! Well, that’s really of no concern of yours. Just do as I say and take care of that new life inside of you. You can’t get rid of me that easily! You want to bet? No one is gonna miss you. Well, that’s where you’re wrong. My father knows I’m alive.


After all these months, you’ve never once mentioned ‘s someonewho loves and adores me. Didn’t see that one coming, did you? Not only does someone know that I’m still alive, but it’s someone who loves and adores me. My father. Your narrative of “poor little esme’s all alone in the world” just isn’t true. You’re lying. After all these months, you’ve never once mentioned having a father. Doesn’t mean it’s not true. And daddy would not be very happy with the way you’ve been treating me. You said both of your parents were dead. You were adopted as an infant and your adoptive parents were dead, too. You were raised by your nanny until you were sent to boarding school. And that’s where you met spencer. Oh, feel free to check with the boarding school. My teachers always said I had a very vivid imagination. So do I play fast and loose with the facts when it benefits me? Of course I do. And the truth is, yes, both my adoptive parents are dead. May they rest in peace. However… my biological father is very much alive. And where is he? And who is he? And why would I believe anything you say? You just admitted that you bend the truth to serve your needs. All of this time you were involved with my son, you never talked about your father. Clearly, you’re bluffing. My father’s a very powerful man. And if you don’t let me out of here, you’re gonna find that out. And trust me when I say you will not like how this story ends for you. Well, that’s the thing, esme. You’ve told so many lies that even if you were telling the truth right now, it is impossible for me to believe you. Hmm. Believe what you want. But when that day comes, your fate won’t be pretty. Don’t say I never warned you. Alright. That is enough, esme. You’ll do as I say. You’ll do what’s best for that baby. And once you’ve done the one and only decent thing that you have ever done in your entire miserable life and given birth, your future will be up to one person — me. And I’ll decide whether to toss you off the parapet again or throw you to the wolves. And we’ll see if your imaginary father comes to the rescue or not.

[ Door opens ] Let me go, nikolas! I’m the mother of your child!

[ Lock clicks ] I deserve to be treated with respect!

[ Grunts ]

[ Crying ] It’s so unfair. I’m a prisoner surrounded by ava’s tacky taste in art! Hi. Yes. Um, it’s imperative that I get a message to lucy coe. Okay. Could you check her appointments and see where she’s gone? Thank you. A sunset cruise. Does it say who she’s gone with? Business dinner. Victor cassadine. Okay. Thank you. Where? Pier 47. Are you absolutely certain about that? Okay. Thank you. You’ve been very helpful. Thank you. Once again, victor, you’re jumping to conclusions. Yes, I’m having drinks with scott baldwin. Yes, he is my lawyer. He also happens to be my friend. And we are not discussing any possible divorce. W-wait. Y-you mean you really don’t know? Why don’t you stop talking in riddles? What don’t I know? I just assumed nikolas would have told you of his decision. Irreconcilable differences? Well, this whole town knows that nikolas and i have had a tempestuous relationship. It’s always been like that. We’ve even discussed divorce in the past, but neither one of us has ever wanted to pull the trigger. Unless nikolas has told you something h-he hasn’t told me. Oh, ava. I’m sorry. Forgive me. Look, everyone knows my nephew changes his mind on a daily basis. I-I just assumed that… well, a-a strong, independent woman like yourself wouldn’t just sit back and wait for him to make the first move. But, well, maybe I’m mistaken. Ava. Ava. Ava! Oops. Something I said?

[ Grunts ] Damn it. Where are you?

[ Chuckles ] Must be upstairs. Britt: Okay. This all seems so random. An old atm receipt. Why would peter keep that? And what’s it supposed to mean to me? Well, I mean, if there’s money still in the account, it would go to you, right? I suppose. Money clip with cash. I know what that is. Why would he keep a stub from what looks like a parking garage? Maybe he’s got a car parked somewhere? Even if I were to track it down, peter’s been gone since last winter. It’s probably long gone. Ugh. I mean, peter did bad things on a big scale. T-the contents of this box are just so run-of-the-mill. Alright. Well, I mean, what about, you know, these? Yeah, I remember seeing these with maxie. I’m sure they open doors peter was never supposed to enter. One more thing I have to get rid of. Well, I don’t know what these other keys unlock, but this little one here, I know what kind of key it is and I know what it opens. What exactly? Safe deposit box.


I wonder what peter kept in his safe deposit box. More unfinished, worthless business? Or it could be something valuable. Like stocks or bonds. Maybe more cash. Or it could be filled with rubies and diamonds for all we know. Look. Hey, hey. No one says that you actually have to track down the safe deposit box. Some things are better left unopened. Really? Just walk away? Well… that doesn’t sound like you. You said it yourself. Your brother did bad things in a big way. Why mess with what he left behind?

[ Chuckles ] Don’t be so serious, cody. We’ll probably do a lot of work to find it only to open it up and a rubber snake pops out! My brother was warped like that. Well, then why push your luck? Because there’s only one way to find out. We have to find the safe deposit box and open it. You’re right. There’s only one way to find out. That should do just fine. Ava. What are you doing here? I thought you were done keeping secrets from me. Anna. It’s me. Shoot. Uh, I’m on my father’s plane. We’ll be in the air in a second. I…miss you. So wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, just know I’m with you in spirit. Always.

[ Exhales slowly ] Hm. Okay, victor, I’m here. Let’s get this cruise started. Listen, victor, I don’t know what game you’re playing, but I am gonna protect ava’s interests. So why don’t you go home and hold your nephew’s hand until this is over? Do ya follow me?! Ah. To be continued, mr. Baldwin. Now, if you’ll excuse me. Are we good? I took care of everything at her house. And anna herself? Our people tailed her from her home. She’s on her way to pier 47. Excellent. She’ll be far from where lucy is and exactly where I want her. Calendar invite says pier 47, not 55?! Are you absolutely sure?

[ Groans ] Okay. Fine. No, I got — I got to go. Damn.

[ Clatter ] Victor, we obviously got our — what are you doing here? Oh, no, no, no, no,no, no, no, no. Please. No. No. Ohh!

[ Gunshot ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I know I told you that I didn’t want you and trip here. I’m so glad you like we’d be anywhere else. Know trick. Should be back from the lab real soon. Hopefully with some good news about that drug. The police got their hands on. John said he thought it might be a trick. Well, I’m banking on him being wrong about that.

Could you, My purse.

Stephanie, come here. Come closer.

Grandma Caroline’s bracelet. I want you to,

but it’s your, you almost never take it all. You wear it and

yeah. Austin, so your, your father-in-law is going to be your stepfather again. What do you think of that? Yeah. Thank you. I, I really wish that Roman and I have been able to send out invitations, but we’re kind of up against the clock, you know? No, sweetie. I don’t want you to come out. I mean, there’s nothing that you can do the, the treatment is an orchid that’s now extinct, so short of a miracle.

We just might have our miracle.

Did you hear me, Brady? I gave the police enough serum for the first dose. Yeah, I heard you. Oh, good. Now it’s time for you to hold up your end of the bargain. See, you’re gonna dump Chloe and you, Rachel, and I can be a family again. And if you even think about reneging on our deal, just remember the future treatments depend on my goodwill.

And you wouldn’t want those three women’s deaths on your head, would you?

What happens now? We monitor your vital signs closely and wait for the drug to take effect, and if it does, then. It does, but it does. You’ll give it to Caden and and Kayla. Yes. Yes. That’s the plan. What’s that? My heart, it feels like it’s racing. Okay. My light on fucking deep, slow breath. I can’t, I can’t breathe.

I can’t breathe. What’s going on? What’s sweetheart? Sweetheart? Easy.

Like Sands through the hour class, so are the days of our lives.

It’s a Trinity knot. My pop gave it to my mother on her wedding day and she gave it to me online.

Mom, this is your bracelet. I can’t take it. No. I want you

on, Stephanie, you know better than to argue with you, mom. Okay? But I’m giving it back to you as soon as you get better.

Hi news about this serum. I just talked to Dr. Patel. The lab analyzed the drug and found that it contains organic compounds from the orchid For testing our Marla as we speak to make sure she doesn’t have any adverse side effects. Sweetness, you’re gonna be cured. Well, when can she have it? She needs it now and she will get it.

Okay. But as soon as they confirm that it works and that it’s. She and Gur next,

don’t you think we’re getting a little out of ourselves before we start negotiating about the second and third dose? Maybe we should make sure that the first one works. You know, you really should have a, uh, more hopeful attitude. I mean, Marlena could really use the, uh, positive vibes right now. Goodbye.

Don’t you call back. Brady, what was the that all about?

Oh, on your doc. You’re okay. You’re okay. Stay with me. Focus on me. Right here. Right here. Look at me. That’s it. That, That’s it. Just me and you. That’s it. Breathe. Breathe. Breathing and honey. Oh, breathe.

Marlena? Yeah. How do you feel? Uh, I feel better. Okay. Your blood pressure is getting back down to normal and your vitals are rebounding. Wow. So you’re saying what he’s saying, it works. I can feel it. Like is it working?

Uh, but that was, that was Paul on the phone. He was asking me all these questions about Marlene’s treatment, and I’m frustrated because I, I don’t know what the hell to tell him. I don’t have any answers. Well, he sounded pretty mad. Are you sure That’s all it was?

Oh my God. How. Uh, I want to run some labs to make sure she’s not having any adverse reactions, but I’m cautiously optimistic that we have the anti oath and it will also work on Kayla and my mom. That is great news. That’s so you, you’re gonna let Val and Eric know? I’ll let ’em know. I’ll, I’ll tell him at the chapel.

Okay, good. I’m gonna have to laugh. All right, Rex. Thank you. Good luck with Kate. Oh my goodness. That is the best news. Oh yeah. Oh, you must be so relieved. Yeah, I am. I am relieved. Are you sure that you’re okay? I’m, yeah. Hey, listen, I, I just, um, and I’m just so thankful that you, you were here for me and for, for my family and, um, I’m really lucky to have you.

I, uh, I really love you. I love you too.

I’ll be back. Okay. Okay.

Hello Chloe.

And I know I’m, I’m not out of the woods yet. But I feel as though I can, I can see the sunlight through the trees. Oh, so can I talk? I can also see you’re getting a little color in your cheeks and you’ve got a lot of hope in your eyes. , I’m afraid you’re gonna have to put up with me for a while. Oh wow. I like the sound of it.

I think I can do better. How about two infinity? And it’s beyond

I love you.

Okay. I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna sound ungrateful at all, but who decided that Marlena would get the first dose? Well, she volunteered and she got sickest the fastest. So, So she has the least amount of time left. You should go to the hospital. You should see her and see your sister. Well, I will soon as my replacement get there.

The replacement? Yeah. I didn’t want you to be alone, so I called somebody and come be with you while I’m gone. Oh.

What’s up new? Wes? What happened in my invitation? I want to get lost in the mail. Sad. You hear that? Sweet. It’s good news. You just have to hang in there a little bit longer. Rex is doing some blood work on Marlena and assuming that comes back with positive news, Mom. Mom, are you all right mom? Kayla. Kayla, baby.

Hey. Hey

Kayla Keila. Can you hear me? Oh, that’s it, baby. Come back to us. It’s all on my finger with your eyes. We love you, mom. You’re gonna be okay. Trip. What’s going on? This is the normal course of the illness. We were hoping not to get to this stage. Right. Great news. I just heard from Rex Marla’s on the road to recover.

How’s do run Outta time? She needs that drug now

Roman and I would have loved to have had you at the wedding, but it was a well kind of last minute. Ah, I know that. I’m happy for you. I’m sorry I didn’t come sooner. Wow. I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you either. I’m talking work. There we go. Cde. I knew when they released him that he wouldn’t change. He never changed.

Okay. Stop it. There’s, there’s no way that you could have known what would happen. No one could have known. Oh, so random is so cruel. Not because he was afraid. We’d find out he’d put a bullet in ej.

It’s so unfair that Dr. Wolf could bring EJ back, but there’s nothing he could do for her. For

What are you doing here? Well, I came to see Marlena, of course. She is my daughter’s step grandmother. So how is she? Well, they seem to have found a treatment that is working, but since you were furious with Marlene, I’m pretty sure you don’t give a damn how she’s doing. So what are you really doing here?

Hm. Well, I’ll admit, sir, I do have an ulterior motive.

My mom’s getting worse. Please. She needs that drug. She needs it now. I don’t care if you’re having finished running your test. You need to give it to her now. Okay, Everybody make some space. Please. Please, guys.

How long will it take to work? All the effects on my Elena we’re almost immediate. Her heart raced for a few minutes, but everything started to improve shortly after. Kayla. Kayla, can you hear me? She waking up. She’s waking up sweetness. Um, what did you say? Hell no. No. What is that?

Why is this happening, Right? Is this a reaction to the judge? I need everyone outta the room please, baby. You’re gonna beat this. You hear me? Oh, here mom. Okay. I’ll tell you what everybody, it’s the best thing we can do for right now is clear the room, let them work. I’m not leaving my wife, she, I’m not leaving.

She needs me Here.

Stop compressions. We have a pulse. Ah, she’s back. BP and heart rate stabilizing.

Hey. Oh baby. Here you’re, you got to zero. You gotta get. Okay, you’re gonna get back. Why did that happen? Why did her heart stop beating? Okay. Was it to assume that caused the flat line? There’s no way to know for sure. All right. So it’s safe to give that drug to your mom or not?

I can’t believe that I either thought Clive was a decent. I sure know. I pick ’em, don’t I? Well, I say you’ve done pretty well for yourself this time. Yes, Yes, I have. Roman is the most loyal, most caring man I’ve I’ve ever known. I just hope that Weth.

Sorry for what? Sorry, Because I wanna be positive, I have to stay positive. You know? I beat stage four cancer and if I get to see him, I’m gonna beat this as well. Damn right. You are. You’re Kay. Freaking Roberts. You are certified. Bad ass.

Wow. You have an ulterior. I’m, I’m positively shocked. I’m here about Rachel. You made it your mission to come between me and my daughter, and you’re not gonna get away with it. I am not on some mission. I’m just trying to do what’s best for Brady and Rachel. Okay. What is that? Trying to erase me from their lives.

I don’t know what you want from me. I already told you that I offered to end my relationship with Brady for Rachel’s sake, and he refused. Okay. Instead of offering, maybe you can just do it yourself. It’s less humiliating that way, don’t you think? To be the one to end it. Christopher,

what are you doing here?

John, do you have an update on Kate or Kayla? Let’s do waiting. I think we should have heard something by now. Serial worked for you? I’m, I’m sure it’s worked for them. Are you keeping something from No, no, no, no, no. I’m, No, I just, I want you to focus on your own recovery. I’m sure we’ll have good news about them soon enough.

That’s right. Sweetness. You rest as much as you need to. I’ll be right here when you wake up. We all will be. Competitor soon. Okay. Mom, got a lot of people counting on you. I need a little guidance here guys. We almost lost Kayla just now. Okay. And you said Marlin’s heart was racing like crazy when she got the injection.

So how do we know this serum is safe to get Kate? It’s a matter of risk assessment. Okay. It’s possible the drug may Kayla worse, or a cardiac risk could have been a result of the illness itself.

Why isn’t she waking up? She’s about tok.

Hi, call yourself. It’s so nice to see those pretty blue eyes again.

Why are you here? Why am I here? Well, I’m here to support my sister. You should be with Kate. She spent wait 10 seconds already told me what to do. It’s okay. What do you mean? I know you blame yourself that RPS could hurt us.

It was your fault. I just want you three to be okay. How you feeling, Caleb?

Better, like maybe I won’t be going anywhere any time soon.

You think you can hold outta the four for me? We can go give this serum to my mom.

So I saw the press release. That’s your new job? Yeah. Pi. Keeping up on the business news, huh? Mm. Wow. Not like I have a lot else to do. You, um, you’re working for Stephanie Johnson? Yeah, I just started, um, enjoying the work. Professionally, it’s fine. Personally, personally, I may have crossed the line, but said.

Damn. I, I don’t know. It’s not important. We don’t need to talk about it right now. Oh, it’s so, Come on, come on. It is important. I wanna hear all about it. Actually. It’s a distraction of me. Okay. Then, um, the other night, something I, we. If I had too much to drink, you know, she was, um, upset about her mother and we were both in an emotional place.

I mean, in the end, nothing hap nothing happened. I like Stephanie, but

I just realized I’m not, I’m not ready to be with somebody. Because that,

because Abby is, she’s still with me. I call her go.

If Rachel’s. Then she should have called me. Okay. I can, I can go pick her up right now. Okay. You going to get her is going to make things worse. When are you going to admit that this is an untenable situation? Chris and I can fix it. Okay. Tell me, tell me how. Hmm. Rachel cannot stand Chloe, and more importantly, she can’t stand that Chloe is with her father.

So every day that you two are together, she is pulling further away from. I would never do anything to hurt her. And you know it. You being in this relationship is hurting her. How can you be so selfish? Oh, you’re calling him selfish. Oh, you know what, , Oh my god. You know, you too know what to do to fix this.

So I’m gonna leave you alone and you two can chat. Oh. And Brady, please give Marlena my. And, uh, I do hope she has a full and lasting recovery.

Oh, she knows exactly how to trigger me, and I’m so sorry that Rachel’s having a hard time. It is keep telling you, it’s not your fault, it’s her fault. It’s hers. But now, now I have no choice but to do something about it.

I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to let Abigail go. Yeah. Now I know you feel that way. , Chad, I would never push you to do something that you’re not comfortable with. You know? I would just say take it day by day by day. You know what feels right to you. Just don’t be too hard on yourself.

Okay.

Hey, what’s wrong?

Okay. Katie, Kate. Hey, Kate. Kate. Kate. Hey, and hey Kate. I need you to stay with me. Okay. Open your eyes. Okay. I’m calling Roman.

Stay here. Just sit next to me. Sit next, Kate. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Look at me. Look, I need you to, I need you to stay with me, okay? I’m gonna be totally selfish here, but I can, I can’t lose you too, Kate. Hey Kate, I need you to stay with me. I need you. Kate, Kate, Kate. What’s going on Bob? I don’t know Tracy Chase, can you hear me?

We were talk. We were talking. She was fine. I got this serum, I’m deaf excuse.

Much better. That is where it belongs and where it will stay. Well, it will be yours someday. I don’t know who’s more stubborn. You or your mom. All right, we’ll take that as a compliment. Oh, we all know who the most stubborn person is in this family. . Okay. Oh, I see . Well, hey, I’m gonna run down to the lap with these blood samples.

Okay? A trip. Wait a second.

You’re

Real. Someone is looking better. Kristen, for holding. What? Oh, well, um, I heard the wonderful news from Marlena’s Recovery and I had to come by. Why? Why ? Well, I wanted to tell you, Marlena, that I forgive you, forgive me what for, but I asked you to intervene on my behalf in the situation with Rachel’s custody.

And you refused. It wasn’t my place. Right. And I have to admit I didn’t take it very well. You know, the idea that he of all people would support keeping a mother away from their own child, and now the spiteful side of me might have, Hmm. Briefly hoped that you maybe suffered a little, possibly even died.

What the hell’s the matter with you? I’m not finished. John not finished. Now I was going to say, Oh wow. In those dark moments, I reminded myself that God is all forgiving. He miraculously intervened to save you. And I believe that he will intervene in my situation as well.

Hmm.

What did tri say to you? Well, she, uh, suggested that I offer to break up with you again, or that I just end it myself and not give you a choice.

Um, what are you doing?

I was just, uh, I was just thinking that you may be right, Chloe.

I mean, we, we can’t go on like that.

What you, you look, you, you know that if there was any other way, any, any other way at all that we could, uh, make this, you know, I love you, right? You, you, you, you know I love you and I love I, but I lo I love my little girl. She’s not, well. She’s, she’s, she’s m. And I, I, you, you, you always keep reminding me that I have to put my little girl first.

So

wait. I, Hi Beth. I’m sorry. Are, are you breaking up with me?

I’m so, I’m sorry.

Oh, pulse is strong. Blood pressure’s good and she’s coming back. Oh my God, I can, I can totally feel it. I feel actually feel better already. Well, she’s experienced, you know, rebound of her vital signs just like Marlena and Kayla did, but without the side effect system. Thank God. Yes, Yes. And thank you my genius.

Son, You saved my life. Oh honey, I love you. Thank you. Thank you. And you. Thank you. Thank for coming here. For being here. I love you. Oh my God. So fell the two of you get lost. What? You’re kicking us out already. Okay. Well, no offense, but it is my wedding night. Okay. Say no more.

You sure?

Well, Mr. Brady. This is Brady. Ah,

you know, a couple of hours ago I thought my wedding night was going to be my night. Now,

What does that look? Oh, I, I think you know what that look is really? Mm-hmm. , Are you sure you’re feeling up for that? Why don’t you drive

free? The last time our whole family was together like this was when your father was kidnapped and brainwashed and nearly killed. Good times. No. Now it took me almost on my deathbed, first of all, to get together. I promise that we won’t wait that long.

Okay. Now can I please have some time alone with my wife? I think we can make that happen. Hi, feel better, mom. I love you, baby. I love you.

I’m so happy. Okay. And. Doctor, Doctor

sweetness, my love. Not that I don’t always appreciate how lucky I am to have you. We’re thinking that I could’ve lost you.

Please don’t ever scare me like that again. I don’t, I, you better make the same promise. Promise. So from now on, we’re gonna both stay healthy and safe. And I’m gonna tell you every single day how much I love you and how much you mean to me. And I’m gonna do this with you.

Is it crazy for me to say that this is the happiest day of my life? ? No. Wait. I’m not crazy at all. , the same goes for me.

You know, I would’ve worn that bracelet if mom had given it. You boy, you think just cuz you’re the girl, you automatically inherit it. Well, I’m also the first born. Yeah. But it would’ve matched my tattoo perfectly. Wait, what? Tattoo? Where? Oh, you’ll never see it.

Oh,

Chad. Hi. I just heard about your mom. I’m really happy for you and your family. Thanks. How’s Kate? Much better, thank you. That’s great. If you wanna take the day and spend it with your family, I can handle things at the office. Nope. I’ll be there in the morning, bright and early. See then, looking forward to it.

Why don’t you stop talking and code and just spit out what you’re trying to say. Ah, John, I believe you understand me perfectly well. Now I’m gonna leave you two love birds to your cringy PDAs. You’re welcome.

They always on a about, I don’t care. I’m not going to let her cast Paul on our happiness.

Now. Now what is it? Oh, I dunno, Doc. Just after all these years of Orpheus coming after us, I just. Oh God. I hope it’s finally over.

Hello? Hey, you, you have to look at me. You have to blame me. I, I never wanted it to come to this and I, I believe one day it’s, it’s, it’s okay. Okay. I, I understand. I’m the one who told you that there was. No joy, so I, I should go. Oh, Chloe. Chloe, please just give my love to Marla.

You could do it.

You are not, you are not gonna get away with this, but I already have.

She’s a big girl, Brady. She’s gonna be just fine. Until she finds out that you’ve thrown her over for the likes of me, she will put a stake in there, so-called story

you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Upbeat acoustic music ]

Thomas: I told you, I’m a one woman man. That woman is you. Stop! Hope is married. What’s wrong with me? Things are so great, especially since I finally got a way to get brooke out of dad’s life. I can’t be fantasizing about hope and me kissing. [ Door opens ]

Steffy: Will this line come together in time for the preview?

Thomas: Hey, steff. You bet it will. It’s gonna work.

Steffy: Hey.

Thomas: Hi. Hi. Come on. Oh! Good to see you. So, how was aspen? Boring as usual?

Steffy: Oh, you know, it was pretty uneventful. Can you believe it?

Thomas: I know.

Steffy: It finally happened. Our parents are back together. Oh my gosh.

[ Thomas laughs ]

[ Hope sighs ]

Liam: Hey, so did you end up hearing from your mom?

Hope: Uh, yeah, she actually just texted and said that we could come up whenever.

Liam: Oh, all right. I know you were, um, a little bummed when you got home too late last night to talk to her. Was that because, uh, you just– the line had delays or?

Hope: No, it’s just I had to get things ready for the press preview, finalize the lineup. And you know how I get before a showing.

Liam: Oh yeah, no. Yeah. A lot of midnight oil you’re burning.

Hope: Yeah.

Liam: Wish you didn’t have to burn it all with thomas, but hey, you know, it’s–

Hope: Let’s go check on my mom.

[ Pouring drink ]

[ Brooke sobbing ]

Liam: No.

Brooke: Liam, I need to

numb the pain, please.

Liam: This is more pain.

Brooke: What happened to us?

Katie: Oh, hey. Um, have you seen my phone?

Carter: Your cell.

Katie: My cell phone. Oh, thank god. Thanks.

Carter: It’s never a good feeling not knowing where your phone is.

Katie: Yeah, it’s a feeling I have often. Um, actually I was just about to text you, that’s when I realized that I didn’t have my phone.

Carter: Oh.

Katie: Yeah. I wanted to, um, I wanted to thank you for the bump in the budget for the international campaign.

Carter: That’s not a problem. I’m glad I can make the numbers work.

Katie: Me too. You’re busy. I’m gonna go.

Carter: Katie, wait. Um, I, uh, wanna talk to you.

Katie: Um, you wanna talk?

Carter: If you have time.

Katie: For the coo, I’ll make time.

Carter: Well, it’s, um, it’s unrelated to work.

Katie: Okay. Sure. Has quinn reached out?

Carter: No. And I don’t expect her to.

Katie: I’m sorry.

Carter: Thank you. Even though I know you think I can do better.

Katie: I do. Yeah, I do. This might just open you up for other possibilities.

Carter: Hmm. It’s funny you mentioned that because one planted a kiss on me last night.

Katie: She did? My gosh. So forward. Should be careful of that one. She sounds risky.

Carter: Oh. What’s life without a few risks?

[ Katie chuckles ]

Steffy: Is the show ready?

Thomas: Yeah. What? You don’t like it? ‘Cause dad said it was– it was ready. Like he– he gave his approval.

Steffy: Clearly dad has other things on his mind, like reuniting with his true love because this is absolutely… beautiful. I’m just messing with you. It’s amazing.

Thomas: Really cute. Really cute.

Steffy: Well, I’m your sister. It’s my– my duty to get you.

Thomas: And it’s my duty to get you back when you don’t expect it. So be ready for that.

Steffy: Oh okay. Good luck with that.

Thomas: Okay. So, tell me everything.

Steffy: Everything?

Thomas: Yes.

Steffy: What do you mean everything?

Thomas: About aspen? What was it like seeing those two together like in person?

Steffy: Thomas, I wish you could have been there. It’s happening. After all these years, our parents are finally back together. Brooke is out of dad’s life for good.

[ Thomas sighs ]

Hope: Mom? Oh, mom.

Brooke: Oh, honey.

Hope: Hi.

Brooke: Hi. Thank you for all your messages. I’ve just– I’ve just been, uh–

Hope: No, I get it. I get it.

Brooke: I– I don’t understand what happened. I really don’T. I don’t know why ridge left me for taylor.

Katie: I should probably apologize. I don’t normally go around kissing my friends like that.

Carter: That was a friendly kiss?

Katie: I just don’t know what came over me.

Carter: I’m not complaining. And I appreciate your honesty. The point you were making that even though I want a future with quinn, that there’s other women out there. I still can’t believe she left though.

Katie: I was surprised to hear that after everything you’ve been through.

Carter: I risked everything. And she tells me that she doesn’t wanna be married and knows that I do. That I want a wife and a family. But I told her, I told her that I don’t care. That I want her, but she still stands on that she can’t give me what I want. And– and she said it was the right time to go.

Katie: Maybe she was right about that. Maybe the two of you were meant to be together at that moment in time.

Carter: It’s probably a healthy way to look at it.

Katie: See?

Carter: But it doesn’t make it easier though. Why does this keep happening?

Katie: Well, maybe you’re just looking for love in all the wrong places, carter. I know the feeling.

Steffy: If you told me a few months ago how different our lives would be, I’d be shocked.

Thomas: Yeah. So much just turned around for our family. It wasn’t that long ago you were depressed thinking your husband was dead. We were all so worried about you.

Steffy: Well, finn is back. Our family is intact even more so that mom and dad are together. Really feels like a blessing.

Thomas: Definitely seems there’s a higher power at work.

Steffy: Good things happen to good people. Just– mom is so patient. She was really holding onto hope. And it just justifies that people like mom, people with dignity and integrity, they actually do win out in the end.

Hope: What can I do, mom? How can I help?

Brooke: Nothing you can do sweetie. Ridge left me.

Hope: Well, maybe it’s like when he went to eric’S. You know, he might just need some time and space to clear his head and figure things out.

Brooke: No, he made his decision. He thinks that life will be better with taylor.

[ Phone rings ]

Hope: It’s the babysitter. I should, I– I don’t have to.

Brooke: Get that sweetie. It might be important.

Hope: Hello? Hi. Yeah.

Liam: So, how are you doing?

Brooke: You didn’t tell her, did you? About me almost drinking?

Liam: No, no, I didn’t say anything.

Brooke: Oh. Thank you. Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Carter: Look, I know you’ve had rotten luck when it comes to relationships. But at least you had a shot. Failed or not, you know what it’s like to be married, to share your life with someone. And what’s crazy is, here’s the– here’s the crazy part, right? I was standing at the altar with a woman who wanted to marry me and I walked away because I believed I had a future with quinn. Obviously, I’m doing something very wrong.

Katie: You’re not doing anything wrong. You just haven’t found the one yet. Or maybe you have and the two of you just haven’t realized your potential.

Carter: And I thought I had that with quinn. I really did.

Katie: There’s someone out there, someone who will appreciate everything that you are. And you know, there’s a lot to appreciate. I mean, shall we just start with you are an incredibly successful businessman and attorney. You’re sweet, you’re sincere, you’re humble, you’re kind.

Carter: Keep going. Yeah. You’re on a roll. Yeah. Keep going please.

Katie: Oh. Oh, you want me to go on? Okay. Yeah. Sure. You’re funny. And I guess, you know, we should address the obvious. You’re handsome. Incredibly handsome. Insanely fit, like freakishly fit. You’re sexy. You’re a sexy man, carter. You are. And you’re sexier still because you don’t realize what a catch you are. But a lot of women around here do.

Carter: And are you one of those women?

Thomas: Such a great feeling. And mom finally ending up on top, I’m so happy for her, you know. And– and the whole family benefits. And the future is so much brighter, not just for you and me, but for our children too.

Steffy: Yeah. They get to grow up and see their grandparents in a healthy, caring relationship instead of what he had with brooke. Kids sense that underlying tension.

Thomas: Definitely.

Steffy: And this may sound childish, but we’re not the ones left alone this time. Our family fractured. It’s not today. Fractures have– have healed. We’re finally whole again.

Thomas: It’s pretty great. It’s– it’s amazing to have this– this joy back in our family again. I gotta say, I’m thinking over at brooke’s right now. You know, she and hope are probably feeling very, very differently.

Hope: Beth’s fine. It’s just a scraped knee. Oh, a kitty bandage. Oh, no wonder you’re feeling better already.

Brooke: Look, I poured the glass, but I didn’t take a sip. It was a moment of weakness that will never happen again.

Liam: Oh, yeah. No, I know. I just, uh, just be sure in case I’m not there next time.

Hope: It’s fine. I completely understand.

Brooke: Yeah. No, I– I have my sponsor and I can call him and I’ll be fine. Really. I will. Just don’t say anything to hope, please. I don’t want her to worry. She has so much on her plate.

Liam: I won’T.

Hope: Yeah. I totally understand. Yeah, we’ll see you soon.

Brooke: I’m very thankful you were there. It’s because of you I didn’t drink.

Hope: Okay. Yeah. Bye. Just a stumble on the playground.

Liam: Yeah?

Hope: Yeah. What’s going on?

Brooke: Uh, everything’s fine, sweetheart.

Hope: Except it’s not. You’re mourning the loss of your marriage, mom. Only that’s not what you two were talking about, was it? What’s going on? These things to any old guy. I mean it. I’m not gonna let you get down on yourself because you are a catch, a huge catch.

Carter: Hmm. Catch and release.

Katie: Oh boy. I have this very disturbing thought in my head of a– of a trout and it has your face on it. And maybe it’s one of those trouts on a plaque that like turns and sings.

Carter: If I’m gonna be a fish, could I be like a marlin or a swordfish or something?

Katie: Oh yeah. You’re absolutely right. You’re so much more marlin. I mean with like fins like this.

Carter: You have a beautiful smile and the best laugh I’ve ever heard.

Katie: Really?

Carter: Yes.

Katie: Thank you.

Carter: Thank you. I haven’t felt like laughing much since quinn left and you are bringing it out of me. I appreciate it. Also appreciate your kind words and your support. They really mean a lot to me. You really mean a lot to me.

Steffy: Here’s the thing, it’s probably a cry fest over at brooke’s house. And honestly, part of me does feel bad for her. She has to face that dad chose mom, but she’s gonna get over it. Mom and dad, they’re gonna get married the way it should have been all along. Dad’s done with all the misunderstandings and misbehavior. They’re back together. Today is the day. It’s here. Our parents are back together, thomas. So exciting.

Hope: Did something happen when I was on the phone or?

Brooke: No. Nothing happened, honey. Nothing at all.

Hope: So you– you haven’t heard from ridge yet? He hasn’t given you any sort of explanation?

Brooke: No, no explanation. I mean, I really can’t understand why this man that I know so well would just turn our lives upside down like this with no reason. I mean, and he– he wanted me to say what it was almost like I did something.

Hope: But you didn’T.

Brooke: No, I didn’T. And I don’t know what it could possibly be that would’ve upset him so much. He ran off to aspen without even saying a word to me. And he pledged his life to taylor. I mean, you don’t know how disturbing it is to think that the man that I love is feeling like he’s being betrayed somehow. I– I– I don’t understand any of this, honey. It doesn’t make sense to me. Why? Why is this happening?

Hope: Mom.

[ Brooke crying ]

Brooke: His father, thomas forster is unstable. He has a knife.

Operator: And your name, ma’am?

Thomas: Brooke logan. Please hurry.

[ Audio rewinds ]

Brooke’s voice: Brooke logan please, hurry.

[ Brooke crying ]

Brooke: Okay.

Days Update Tuesday, October 18, 2022

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Steve, Joey, and Stephanie watch over Kayla in the hospital. Kayla tells Joey that she said she didn’t want he and Tripp there, but she’s really glad they are. Joey says they wouldn’t be anywhere else. Steve notes that Tripp should be back from the lab soon and hopes that he will have good news about the serum. Kayla asks Steve to get her purse so he does. Kayla tells Stephanie that she wants her to have Grandma Caroline’s bracelet to remember both of them.

Kate is in bed on the phone with her son Austin, telling him about her and Roman’s marriage. Kate wishes they could’ve sent out wedding invitations but they were up against the clock. Kate tells Austin not to come out because there’s nothing he can do without a miracle. Roman then enters and announces they just might have their miracle.

Kristen informs Brady over the phone that she gave the police enough of the serum for the first dose and reminds him that now he must hold up his end of the bargain and break up with Chloe, so that they and Rachel can be a family again. Kristen warns Brady that if even thinks about reneging on their deal, the future treatments depend on her good will and he wouldn’t want the three women’s deaths on his hands.

After Rex injects Marlena with the serum, she asks what happens now. Rex responds that they will monitor her vitals closely and wait for the drug to take effect and then if it does, they will give it to Kate and Kayla. Marlena’s monitors then start beeping and her heart starts racing. Rex encourages her to breathe while Marlena complains that she can’t and John tries to keep her calm.

Stephanie tells Kayla that she can’t take her bracelet but Kayla insists that she wants her to. Stephanie says she’s giving it back to her as soon as she gets better, so Steve then puts the bracelet on Stephanie. Tripp returns and announces that the lab analyzed the drug and it had traces similar to the orchid so they are testing it on Marlena as they speak to make sure it doesn’t have any adverse side effects. Steve tells Kayla that she will be cured. Stephanie worries that she needs it now. Tripp assures that as soon as they confirm it works and is safe, Kayla and Kate are next.

Brady tells Kristen that they are getting ahead of themselves and should make sure the first dose works before talking about the second and third. Kristen tells him that he should have a more hopeful attitude since Marlena could use the positive vibes. Brady says goodbye and tells Kristen not to call back as he hangs up. Chloe comes over and questions what that was all about.

John continues to encourage Marlena as she struggles but eventually she is able to breathe again and her monitors return to normal. Rex asks how she feels. Marlena responds that she feels better. Rex notes that her blood pressure is going back to normal and her vitals are rebounding. John asks what he’s saying. Marlena exclaims that she can feel that it’s working.

Brady claims to Chloe that it was Paul on the phone, asking questions about Marlena’s treatment and it frustrated him as he doesn’t know what to tell him and doesn’t have any answers. Chloe notes that he sounded pretty mad and asks if he’s sure that’s all it was. Rex then comes out from Marlena’s room so Brady asks how she is. Rex tells them that he wants to run more labs to make sure there’s no adverse effects but he’s cautiously optimistic that they have the antidote and it will also work on Kayla and Kate. Brady calls it great news. Brady says he will let Eric and Belle know as Rex then heads to the lab. Chloe hugs Brady and calls this the best news, adding that Brady must be so relieved. Brady confirms that he is. Chloe questions if he’s sure he’s okay. Brady says he’s just so thankful that she was there for him and his family and he’s really lucky to have her. Brady kisses Chloe as Kristen appears and watches from the corner. Brady tells Chloe that he really loves her. Chloe says she loves him too. Brady then says he’ll be back and walks away. Kristen then approaches Chloe.

Marlena tells John that she’s not out of the woods yet but feels like she can see the sunlight through the trees. John sees the hope in her eyes. Marlena jokes that he’ll have to put up with her for awhile. John kisses her and says he loves her.

Kate tells Roman that she doesn’t want to sound ungrateful but questions who decided Marlena would get the first dose. Roman explains that Marlena volunteered and she got sickest the fastest so she had the least time left. Kate tells Roman that he should go see Marlena and Kayla at the hospital. Roman responds that he will as soon as his replacement gets there which she questions. Roman explains that he didn’t want her to be alone, so he called someone to be with her while he’s gone. Chad then arrives and jokes about not being invited to the wedding.

Steve encourages Kayla to hang in just a little bit longer. Tripp notes that Rex is doing bloodwork on Marlena. Kayla then loses consciousness, causing the family to worry. Tripp checks on her and she regains consciousness. Steve and Stephanie encourage Kayla while Joey asks Tripp what’s going on. Tripp responds that this is the normal course of the illness and they were hoping not to get to this stage. Roman enters the room and announces that he just heard from Rex that Marlena is on the road to recovery. Roman then asks how Kayla is doing. Steve responds that they are running out of time and declares she needs the drug now.

Kate tells Chad that they would’ve loved to have him at the wedding but it was last minute. Chad tells her that he’s happy for her and he’s sorry he didn’t come sooner. Kate is sorry she wasn’t there for him with Abigail and Clyde. Kate says she knew when they released Clyde that he would never change. Chad tells her that there’s no way anyone could’ve known and all because he was afraid of it coming out that he had a bullet put in EJ. Chad calls it unfair that Dr. Rolf could bring back EJ but there’s nothing he could do for Abigail.

Chloe questions what Kristen is doing at the hospital. Kristen claims she came to see Marlena since she is her daughter’s step-grandmother. Kristen asks how she’s doing. Chloe mentions the treatment but notes that Kristen was furious with Marlena, so she’s pretty sure she doesn’t give a damn. Chloe then asks what Kristen is really doing here. Kristen admits she does have an ulterior motive.

Joey brings Rex in to Kayla’s hospital room and says she needs the drug. Steve pleads with Rex to give it to her now and says he doesn’t care about the tests. Rex agrees to do so and asks them to make space. Roman asks how long it will take to work. Rex responds that Marlena’s were almost immediate. Steve asks if Kayla can hear him. Rex injects the serum but Kayla calls out to her mom as she then flatlines. Rex and Tripp begin trying to revive her. Tripp asks for everyone to leave the room. Roman agrees but Steve refuses to leave Kayla. They are able to bring back Kayla’s pulse and her heart rate stabilizes. Kayla wakes up as Steve encourages that she got the serum and is going to get better. Stephanie questions why her heart stopped beating. Roman asks if the serum caused it. Tripp says there’s no way to know for sure. Roman then turns to Rex and asks if it’s safe to give Kate.

Kate comments to Chad that she can’t believe she ever thought Clyde was a decent man. Chad says she’s done well for herself this time. Kate agrees and calls Roman the most loyal and caring man she’s ever known. Kate says she has to stay positive and declares that she beat cancer so if she gets the serum, she will beat this as well. Chad agrees and calls her a certified badass.

Chloe mocks Kristen having an ulterior motive. Kristen responds that she’s here for Rachel. Kristen argues that Chloe’s made it her mission to come between her and her daughter. Chloe denies that and says she’s just trying to do what’s best for Brady and Rachel. Kristen accuses Chloe of trying to erase her from their lives. Chloe reminds Kristen that she already offered to end her relationship with Brady but he refused. Kristen suggests instead of offering, she could just do it herself and that would be less humiliating. Brady then comes back and questions what Kristen is doing here.

Marlena asks John if he has an update on Kate and Kayla. John responds that he’s still waiting. Marlena thinks they should’ve heard something by now. John says the serum worked for her so he’s sure it worked for them too. Marlena questions if he’s keeping something from her. John says no and he just wants her to focus on her own recovery while he’s sure they will have good news on them soon enough.

Steve tells Kayla to rest as much as she needs to and he’ll be right there when she wakes up. Stephanie says they all will be. Joey encourages Kayla to get better soon. Roman points out that they almost lost Kayla and that Marlena’s heart raced, so he questions how they know if the serum is safe to give Kate. Rex says it’s risk assessment. Rex and Tripp note that it’s possible it made her worse but also that it could’ve been the illness. Kayla wakes back up and asks why Roman is here instead of with Kate. Kayla knows Roman blames himself for Orpheus hurting them but says it’s not his fault. Roman just wants them to be okay. Tripp asks how Kayla is feeling. Kayla responds that she’s better, like maybe she won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Roman then nods to Rex, so Rex announces he’s going to give the serum to Kate and exits.

Kate tells Chad that she saw the press release about his new job in PR, working for Stephanie. Chad confirms that he just started and he’s enjoying the work. Chad notes that professionally it’s fine but personally, he may have crossed a line. Chad calls it not important and says they don’t need to talk about it right now but Kate insists and wants to hear all about it. Kate calls it a distraction for her so Chad gives in. Chad tells Kate that he and Stephanie had too much to drink the other night and she was upset about Kayla while they were both in an emotional place. Chad says in the end, nothing happened. Chad notes that he likes Stephanie but he just realized that he’s not ready to be with someone else because Abigail is still with him and he can’t let her go.

Brady tells Kristen that if Rachel is upset, she should’ve called him and he could go pick her up now. Kristen says that would just make things worse and asks when he will admit this is an untenable situation. Brady responds that he can fix it. Kristen asks how since Rachel cannot stand Chloe or that Chloe is with her father so every day they are together, she’s pulling further away. Brady insists that he would never do anything to hurt Rachel. Kristen argues that being in this relationship is hurting her and asks how Brady can be so selfish. Kristen declares that they know what to do to fix this, so she’s going to leave them alone to chat. Kristen asks Brady to give Marlena her best and remarks that she hopes she has a full and lasting recovery. Kristen then walks away. Chloe complains that Kristen knows exactly how to trigger her. Chloe tells Brady that she’s sorry Rachel is having a tough time. Brady responds that it’s not her fault, it’s Kristen’s, but now he has no choice but to do something about it.

Chad tells Kate that he doesn’t think he’ll ever be ready to let Abigail go. Kate knows he feels that way now and she would never push him to do something he’s not comfortable with. Kate encourages Chad to take it day by day and what feels right to him. Kate tells Chad not to be too hard on himself. Kate then starts to lose consciousness. Chad starts asking her what’s wrong and tries to wake her up. Chad encourages her to stay with him and says he will call Roman. Kate asks him to stay there and sit next to her. Chad tells Kate that he can’t lose her too as he urges her to stay with him. Roman and Rex arrive. Rex questions what’s going on. Chad says they were talking and she was fine. Rex then quickly injects Kate with the serum.

Stephanie puts Kayla’s bracelet back on her and says that’s where it belongs. Steve jokes about them both being stubborn. Joey points out Steve being the most stubborn in the family. Tripp says he will take the blood samples to the lab but Kayla asks him to wait.

John kisses Marlena until Kristen walks in. Kristen remarks that someone is looking better. John asks what the hell she wants. Kristen responds that she heard the wonderful news of Marlena’s recovery and she had to come by to tell Marlena that she forgives her since she asked her to intervene on her behalf with Rachel’s custody but she refused. Marlena argues that it wasn’t her place. Kristen admits she didn’t take it very well that Marlena would support keeping a mother away from her own child and that the spiteful part of her might have hoped she suffered a little or even died but in those dark moments, she reminded herself that God is all forgiving. Kristen declares that God miraculously intervened to save Marlena, so she believes he will intervene in her situation as well.

Brady asks Chloe what Kristen said to her. Chloe responds that Kristen suggested that she offer to break up with him again or just end it herself and not give him a choice. Brady then sits down with Chloe. Chloe questions what he’s doing. Brady says he was just thinking that she may be right as they can’t go on like this. Brady tells Chloe that if there was any other way to make this work. Brady assures that he loves her but he loves his daughter and she’s miserable. Brady says Chloe keeps reminding him to put his little girl first. Chloe questions if he’s breaking up with her. Brady tells her that he’s sorry.

Rex notes Kate’s pulse is strong and her blood pressure is good. Roman encourages that she’s coming back. Kate confirms she feels better already. Rex notes that she’s experiencing the same as Kayla and Marlena but without the side effects this time. Kate hugs Rex and thanks him for saving her life. Kate hugs Chad and thanks him for coming. Kate then jokingly tells Chad and Rex to get lost because it is her wedding night, so they leave. Kate tells Roman that a couple of hours ago, she thought her wedding night was going to be her funeral night. Kate then tells Roman that he knows this look. Roman asks if she’s sure she’s feeling up to it as they start kissing.

Kayla tells her family that the last time the whole family was together like this was when Steve was kidnapped, brainwashed, and nearly killed while now it took her almost dying for them to all get together again. Kayla has them promise not to wait so long to all be together again. Steve then asks for some time alone with his wife. Joey, Stephanie, and Tripp say goodbye to Kayla and then exit the room. Steve sits with Kayla and says he always appreciates how lucky he is to have her, but asks her to never scare him like that again which she promises to do. Steve declares that from now on, they will both stay healthy and safe and he will tell her every day how much he loves her. Kayla agrees to do the same as they kiss. Kayla calls this the happiest day of her life as they continue kissing.

Joey and Stephanie go to a waiting room at the hospital. Joey jokes that if Kayla gave him Caroline’s bracelet, he would’ve kept it because it would’ve matched his tattoo. Stephanie is surprised and asks what tattoo but Joey says she’ll never see it. Stephanie gets a call from Chad, so Joey exits the room. Chad tells Stephanie that he heard about her mom and he’s happy for her family. Stephanie thanks him and asks how Kate is. Chad confirms she’s better and thanks her. Chad offers to handle things at the office if Stephanie wants to take the day to spend with her family. Stephanie assures that she’ll be there in the morning, bright and early, so she will see him then as they hang up.

John tells Kristen to stop talking in code and just spit out what she’s trying to say. Kristen believes he understands her and says she will leave them to their PDAs. Kristen says “you’re welcome” and then exits the room. John asks Marlena what the hell that was about. Marlena doesn’t care as she won’t let Kristen affect their happiness. John hopes after all these years of Orpheus coming after them that it’s finally over.

Brady tells Chloe that she has to believe that he never wanted it to come to this. Chloe cries that it’s okay as she’s the one who told him to and decides she should go. Brady tries to stop her but Chloe says to give her love to Marlena and rushes out of the hospital in tears. Kristen comes over and tells Brady that she knew he could do it. Brady responds that she’s not going to get away with this. Kristen says she already has and assures Chloe will be just fine until she finds out that he’s overthrown Chloe for her which will put a stake in her love story.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: Have a seat.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] That’s a nice surprise, an opportunity to sit down with jack abbott. How could I say no?

Jack: A dream for me, too.

Tucker: Actually, it’s kind of nice to have a one-on-one chat with you.

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.

Jack: Good luck with that.

Tucker: Alright, what would it take to convince you that I’m sincere?

Jack: Don’t even bother. I don’t know why you would want to convince me of anything anyway. This is between you and ashley. She’s made her feelings very clear. You need to respect that.

Tucker: You know what? You’re right. This is between me and her, no one else. But I hope you will keep an open mind in case she changes her mind about things.

[ Sighing ] Okay.> Is that all you wanted to talk about?

Jack: No. I’m just getting started.

Sharon: Hey!

Nick: Hey.

Sharon: Stranger. Hey, did you see those photos that faith posted last week from the michigan football game?

Nick: I did. It sure looks like she’s having fun. It really looks like she’s settled into the college lifestyle.

Sharon: I know. I’m so happy for her. So, what can I get you tonight?

Nick: Uh, just some tea.

Sharon: You got it. Is everything okay?

Nick: Uh, I don’t know if you’ve heard this or not. I’ve been seeing someone new.

Sharon: I hadn’T.

Nick: Yeah. Uh, with our history and, uh, everything you’ve gone through with rey, I wasn’t sure when to bring it up.

Sharon: Well, it doesn’t have to be awkward, nick. You know, I haven’t been ready to get back out there yet, but I’m glad that you’re feeling social again.

Nick: Yeah. It’s nothing serious. We’re just kind of taking it moment by moment.

Sharon: So, it’s still in the early, fun stage?

Nick: Yeah. It is fun. Usually.

Sharon: But the look on your face tells me it’s not especially fun, not tonight.

Nick: That would be right.

Sharon: You want to talk about it?

Nick: You should know who it is first. It’s sally spectra.

Adam: I can’t admit what you asked of me because you are wrong. Tonight has been all about you. There’s nothing about this night that has been less than sincere, sally. I mean, all that I ever wanted to do is see you succeed and achieve your dreams, even if i went about that in completely the wrong way.

Sally: Yeah, you drew me in for a little while, but all of this was completely the wrong way.

Adam: I see that now. I do. But I believe that you know everything that I said tonight about how much I still love you is true.

Sally: Adam —

Adam: Okay? But you are scared of the connection that you still feel for me because I screwed things up so badly. So you’re pushing me away. I get it. I would probably do the same thing. This is very real for me, okay? I’M… I’m putting my heart in your hands. And that is scary as hell.

[ Sighs ] But there’s nothing that i wouldn’t do for you. There’s no risk that I wouldn’t take to prove myself to you. Please, sally.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Adam: We can get past this.

Sally: I don’t think we can.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Sally: So all I want from you right now… is to unlock that door so I can leave.

[ Sniffles ]

Adam: [ Sighs ]

[School bells]

provided by… doesn’t your family deserve the best?

Tucker: Sure, whatever you want to talk about. Here I am. I’m an open book, as always. I’m sure you got questions. Fire away.

Jack: Excellent. Here’s what I want to know. Why now?

Tucker: Why now what?

Jack: Why did you choose this particular time to show up in town?

Tucker: Yes, everyone’s so curious about my timing. Okay, so, what in particular are you wondering about?

Jack: Diane.

Tucker: What about diane?

Jack: Is it mere coincidence that soon after she resurfaced, you showed up in town?

Tucker: Oh, god, this again. I was hoping you of all people would have something a little more original up your sleeve.

Jack: Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you. Actually, I had no real interest in any of it, but something came to my attention that made me, well, want to ponder your timing more carefully.

Tucker: Oh, good. A new twist. I can’t wait to hear it.

Jack: There is a rumor —

Tucker: [ Scoffs ] A rumor, jack? Really? That’s where you’re going with this — gossip?

Jack: There is a rumor out there that you not only knew that diane was alive and in los angeles, but that you were in touch with her.

Sharon: Uh… well, I guess, um, I should be shocked, but when you mentioned sally’s name, something clicked with me. It just fell into place. Um, I had a conversation with sally here a while back. It was a deep conversation.

Nick: About adam?

Sharon: Well, yeah, it started out that way, but we covered a lot of ground, and i had told her, you know, whenever my life feels uncertain that i have a lot of people in my life I can count on. And she said, “like nick?” And [Chuckles] When she immediately said that, I was surprised, but I just filed it away for later, but now I can see that there was something forming way back then. And, you know, you hadn’t worked at newman for very long at that point, but she definitely spotted you.

Nick: Well, I guess I spotted her, too.

[ Chuckles ]

Sharon: Well, you know, she’s very noticeable.

Nick: She is. Um, I wasn’t planning on this happening. You know, we were just working together. Really like her attitude. I think she’s talented. We became friendly, and then it, uh — I don’t know — it just turned into something else.

Sharon: Well, I, of course, can understand why any woman would be drawn to you, nick.

[ Both laugh ] And sally — you know, she, uh — she’s an interesting person, you know? She’s — she’s smart and spirited, and those are qualities that, um, any man would like.

Nick: What are you not saying?

Sharon: What do you mean?

Nick: Well, I can tell, you know, with the sound of your voice that you’re holding something back.

Sharon: Okay. I can’t help wondering how much of this new relationship is really about sally and how much of it is actually about adam.

Adam: I definitely shouldn’t have brought up nick. That was a mistake. I’m sorry that that upset you. But if I hadn’t brought up the subject, it wouldn’t have been honest. I had to mention that you’re seeing my brother.

Sally: Yeah, but that’s not exactly what you said. You accused me of using him in some desperate attempt to get over you.

Adam: Those were not my words.

Sally: Maybe not exactly, but it was right there between the lines. What would have been more accurate is to admit that this whole scheme of yours tonight was because you can’t stand the fact that I’m with nick, even if you can’t bring yourself to say it out loud.

Adam: Of course I can’t stand it. It kills me to think about you with somebody else. That’s what happens when you love someone, sally.

Sally: But it’s more than that. It kills you because he’s your brother.

Adam: No. Okay? You could be with anybody, and I would hate it.

Sally: Okay, but would you have gone to all this trouble if it wasn’t nick? No. Because it is all about the competition for you. You have to beat someone for something to matter to you. That’s the only way anything has value to you — someone else has to want it, and you have to win.

Adam: No. You have value to me. You are important to me. I don’t care about anything else.

Sally: Just stop. Okay? I-I — [ Sighs ] I can’t do this. I-I’ve heard more than enough tonight. (Vo) no matter what type of severe asthma you have,…

Nick: I understand where you’re coming from, but this relationship is not like that. It’s got nothing to do with adam.

Sharon: Are you sure?

Nick: I’m absolutely sure.

Sharon: Because there is a pattern here, nick. You and adam tend to pursue the same women — chelsea, me, and now sally.

Nick: Well, obviously, we have excellent taste.

Sharon: [ Laughs ]

Nick: I promise you, it’s got nothing to do with him or any rivalry with adam. If anything, I am attracted to her in spite of her being adam’s ex. I didn’t want the headache of that entanglement. But it happened.

Sharon: And now it’s getting complicated.

Nick: Boy, is it ever. Adam regrets letting her go. And I’m trying to give her as much space and time that she needs to work things through with him.

Sharon: And let me guess. You want to protect her because adam tends to bring chaos to the women in his life and you don’t want to see anybody in pain.

Nick: Sally’s no damsel in distress. I, uh, want to support her any way that she needs, but she doesn’t need rescuing. She’s — she’s tough.

Sharon: If that’s really true, then I would say you’re more invested in this relationship than you’re admitting even to yourself.

Nick: Hmm.

Sharon: Boy, now I know why you looked so worried when you came in.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Don’t worry about me. No matter what happens, I’ll be fine.

Sharon: I know you will be.

Sally: Thank you.

Adam: Look, I really don’t want you to leave.

Sally: Look, I can’t do this.

Adam: Sally —

Sally: It hurts too much, adam. You need to stay away from now on. It’s best for both of us.

Adam: Sally, don’t go. Sally!

Tucker: Well, I know how it looks when I show up in town just a few months after diane. It’s bound to raise some eyebrows, and then people concoct all sorts of theories. That’s normal.

Jack: Forgive me. Maybe I missed it. I didn’t hear a “yes” or a “no” in there anywhere. Did you or did you not connect with diane in los angeles?

Tucker: Well, why are you pursuing this in the first place? This is so beneath you, jack. A man of your intellect and station. And do you have any evidence to substantiate this story of yours?

Jack: Aside from the obvious coincidences? No. There’s no evidence. It’s just conjecture. But it still doesn’t change the fact that you haven’t given me an answer.

Tucker: Well, let me ask you something. Why would I want anything to do with a woman who I absolutely detested when she allegedly died, who made me a murder suspect? Why would I want any contact with a woman like that?

Jack: Why, indeed? Yeah. I mean, there’s no love lost between you.

Tucker: Mm.

Jack: But maybe the more revealing question is, why are you still dancing around the subject?

Tucker: ‘Cause I just find the whole thing pointless. I could deny it all day and all night. You’re gonna believe whatever the hell you want to believe. I know the human mind works.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Diane: Hello, jack. Tucker.

Tucker: There she is, in the flesh.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] The two of you dining together? I — I can’t imagine how you agreed to this.

Jack: Actually, we were just talking about you.

Diane: Me?

Jack: Yeah. Here. Have a seat. Join us.

One role of a lifetime…

one sore throat.

Jack: I was just sharing with tucker that there’s a rumor out there that the two of you crossed paths in los angeles.

Diane: Gossip, jack? Really?

Tucker: Exactly what I said.

Jack: Well, it’s just speculation at this point, but tucker hasn’t denied it, so I am most interested in what you think about the whole thing.

Diane: Are you serious?

Tucker: Oh, he’s dead serious.

Diane: How can you even ask me that?

Jack: I’m just trying to get some answers, if only to put the whole matter to bed.

Diane: You know, I am so tired of some people constantly trying to dig up dirt on me. They’re trying to undermine me as a way to get me out of town. But you?

Jack: I meant no harm. I’m just trying to find the truth.

Diane: And you think that tucker showing up in genoa city out of the blue means that we’re connected somehow?

Jack: No, I didn’t say that. I asked what your thoughts were.

Diane: Well, you know how surprised I was to see him and how furious I was that he interrupted kyle and summer’s big day.

Jack: Yeah, you seemed genuinely upset.

Diane: And I told you then that I had a lot of questions about why he was back.

Jack: Yeah, you did. And you still haven’t denied it, either…

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Jack: …Just like tucker.

Tucker: Are you two not on friendly terms? ‘Cause I’m sensing tension here.

Jack: No, there’s no tension.

Tucker: Well, that’s good ’cause you’re working together, right? You’ve bonded over your son and your grandson —

Diane: Just stop. Jack, I am telling you that until that man dropped out of a helicopter into your backyard, i had not seen him since the night of my death. And that is the truth. And I — I hope that my word is good enough for you.

Jack: I guess it’ll have to be.

Jack: Well, I better get home.

Diane: Will I see you tomorrow?

Jack: Tomorrow. Yeah. Good night.

Diane: Night.

Tucker: Night.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Thud ]

Chloe: Hallelujah! You’re here!

Sally: What’s going on?

Chloe: Well, you know, nick came looking for you after you left, and that seemed odd because you were supposed to be meeting him. So he and I — well, mostly me — put together that the dinner invitation must have come from adam.

Sally: Yep. He tricked me. I thought I was showing up for a romantic night with nick, and adam was there.

Chloe: Well, I was freaking out. You know, I’ve been down this path with adam and his little schemes, and I was worried about you. But nick was a rock. He said that whatever his brother was up to, that he knew that you could handle it. And he also thought that maybe it would be good for you and adam to talk things through. Did you read him the riot act for tricking you like that?

Sally: [ Sighs ] I did…at first. And then I realized that adam and I still had some things to sort through. It wasn’t completely adversarial.

Chloe: What was it then?

Sally: It was a real conversation. You know, we reminisced, and adam was thoughtful and attentive. It was good.

Chloe: Oh, crap.

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

will continue.

Sally: When did nick leave?

Chloe: Just a while ago.

Sally: What kind of mood was he in?

Chloe: A little thrown. I mean, how could he not be after finding out that you were with adam?

Sally: I just feel bad that i wasn’t here whenever he showed up.

Chloe: It’s not your fault.

Sally: I know, but I feel like I owe him an apology.

Chloe: I’m sure he would appreciate that.

Sally: Thank you very much for being concerned about me. It really means a lot.

Chloe: Anytime.

Sally: Alright, I am gonna head home. I will see you tomorrow.

Chloe: Okay. See you then.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Jack: Hey. Reading anything good?

Traci: Hey. Yeah. This is one of my friend’s novels. It’s not published yet, and she is hoping for a promotional blurb.

Jack: How is it?

Traci: Well, it’s good enough for a promotional blurb.

[ Chuckles ]

Jack: Ashley home yet?

Traci: [ Sighs ] Yeah. Um, the door to her bedroom was closed when I got here earlier. I think she’s turned in for the night.

Jack: Yeah, makes sense to me. She’s had a pretty long day.

Traci: Yeah, traveling takes it out of me, too.

[ Sighs ] Jack, I’m a little worried about ashley.

Jack: Why?

Traci: We were talking about tucker earlier. Uh, she claims that she is immune to his charms, but I’m not exactly sure about that. It was not too long ago she was really, really in love with him.

Jack: I had the same worries about her. I am gonna take ashley at her word. She is adamant she has no interest in rekindling anything with tucker. Besides, she seems a lot more focused on trying to get to the truth about whether diane and tucker met up in L.A.

Traci: Yes. You know, she she mentioned that to me, too. I was completely stunned. Where does a theory like that come from?

Jack: Well, for starters, most of the speculation circles around the extravagant gift that tucker gave to kyle and summer.

Traci: The bentley. What does a bentley have to do with diane?

Jack: You know what? I think I’m gonna make us a couple of drinks, and then i will tell you everything that i know.

Tucker: For what it’s worth, I found your declaration to be very convincing.

Diane: I’m in no mood, tucker.

Tucker: You looked jack right in the eye and lied to him about having no contact with me.

[ Inhales sharply ] It was very bold.

Diane: Stop it. Jack matters to me. And I’ve built a life here, and that matters to me.

Tucker: What about me, diane? Are you saying I don’t matter to you?

Diane: What just happened with jack wasn’t funny. And you’re treating everyone’s suspicions like they’re some kind of joke.

Tucker: I just don’t think they’re any real threat.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Tucker: Not right now, anyway. Although I would like to know where this whole thing started.

Diane: Oh, nikki and phyllis, of course. I have no doubt about it. And nikki was just in L.A., And I’m sure she was trying to dig up some dirt on me. She just loves taunting me about trying to ship me out of town.

Tucker: Yeah, I witnessed some of that yesterday.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Tucker: But jack said he had no evidence at all to back up any of his allegation.

Diane: Well, that’s probably true — because if either of those two harpies had one shred of evidence against me, they would have used it as ammunition already. And jack probably wouldn’t have held back, either.

Tucker: Okay. There you go. There’s no need to get so worked up.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Tucker: Hey. Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath. Okay? We can do this. We can handle all these suspicions. We can answer people’s questions with grace and élan. We just need to keep our cool, baby.

Diane: Tucker, there is no “we” anymore. I am going to put as much distance as I can between you and me.

Tucker: [ Laughing ] Well, that’s not your call, is it?

Diane: Jack told me that ashley is back.

Tucker: Yes, she is.

Diane: Yeah, and she agreed to meet with you.

Tucker: Yeah, she did.

Diane: Well, you told me that I didn’t have to keep tabs on the abbotts once you had the information about ashley’s return. So I believe our agreement has concluded.

Tucker: Oh, my dear diane. I have to respectfully disagree. Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Diane: What are you talking about? We had a deal.

Tucker: Well, I think you’re forgetting the terms of the deal. You were supposed to inform me the minute ashley got back from paris. You did not.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Tucker: I learned ashley was home from ashley. She contacted me directly. So, how did you uphold your end of the deal?

Diane: I hadn’t even seen jack at that point. How would I have known that ashley was back? What, I’m not — I’m not psychic.

Tucker: That was our arrangement.

Diane: Yeah, well, I would have told you the moment she got back, but she beat me to the punch. I mean, and who would have guessed that ashley would be willing to contact you?

Tucker: If I hire a guy to mow my lawn and before he shows up, a goat wanders on my property and eats all the grass, I don’t pay the guy, do I? The deal is off.

Diane: Oh, my god, that is an entirely different situation.

Tucker: The principles are the same.

Diane: Look, tucker, I did what you asked.

Tucker: No, you didn’T. There is no argument to be made. You are not off the hook until I say you’re off the hook. Do you understand me? You are gonna do exactly what i say. I still need you for things.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Diane: I-I don’t know what else you want me to do.

Tucker: Yeah, well, I’ll be in touch with you.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

[ Sighs ]

Traci: Thank you. So, nikki found out that diane was being chauffeured in a bentley all over los angeles.

Jack: Accompanied by a mystery man who nikki assumes was tucker.

Traci: You know, I guess it could be a coincidence. There are plenty of bentleys in the world, and diane could have gotten herself involved with any number of men who could afford to have owned one in los angeles. And she and tucker could have arrived a few months apart here in genoa city without being in cahoots. But that’s really the issue, isn’t it?

Jack: The cahoots part. Yeah, that’s my concern.

Traci: What do you intend to do about it?

Jack: I just left sitting with tucker and diane at society.

Traci: Really? What did they have to say for themselves?

Jack: Well, tucker equivocated. That’s his natural reflex. Diane looked me right in the eye and said they had no connection. I didn’t even mention what i knew about the car.

Traci: Do you think her answer would have been different if you had mentioned it?

Jack: I — I don’t know. I just wanted to see what their reaction might be to the initial allegation that they had met up in L.A.

Traci: Jack, you are so smart. And you didn’t interfere with nikki’s investigation in case she’s on to something.

Jack: Boy, she sure has ashley convinced. And, of course, phyllis is gonna help in any way she can.

Traci: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. So, diane looked you right in the eye and denied there was any connection. I guess the question is, do you believe her?

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Nick: How was your night?

Sally: Not what I expected. I talked to chloe, and she told me that you two figured out that adam set me up for a romantic dinner on the roof, and i thought I was meeting you.

Nick: Yeah, I know.

Sally: Yeah, I was pretty furious with him.

Nick: I bet. You were gone for quite a while. You must have stuck around.

Sally: Yeah, I decided to hear him out. It was pretty nice up there. It was peaceful. He made a heartfelt pitch for one more chance.

Nick: Mm. Yeah. I thought that’s what he was up to.

Sally: Yeah, he’s much more transparent than he thinks.

Nick: Last time I talked to him, he told me he was still in love with you. I’m assuming he told you the same thing.

Sally: Yeah.

Nick: How’d it make you feel?

Sally: Confused.

Tucker: Hey. What’s so urgent?

Audra: There’s been a big development regarding the chancellor-winters ipo.

Tucker: Yeah, I know. I just talked to devon. He accused me of going after the company.

Audra: Well…

Tucker: Yeah, I know. I know, but for a moment i thought maybe you gave away the secret.

Audra: Really? That’s how little faith you had in me?

Tucker: Oh, it was a fleeting moment.

Audra: I should hope so. You have no reason to doubt my loyalty.

Tucker: I know.

Audra: Too bad devon and lily can’t say the same about their cousin nate.

Tucker: Is nate the one giving away inside information?

Audra: He’s the one.

Tucker: Oh, man. No wonder devon was so emotional earlier. Getting betrayed by someone close to you like that — that is tough.

Audra: He and lily and billy were all blindsided. They couldn’t believe nate sold them out. I observed some tension between devon and nate, but nothing that suggested anything of this magnitude.

Tucker: I almost feel bad for them.

Audra: Don’T. Because nate’s betrayal is gonna have a major impact on your plans.

Adam: What are you doing back here?

Sally: I want clarification.

Adam: Regarding what?

Sally: Do you still love me as much as you say you do?

Adam: [ Sighs ] Yes. More. Okay? These last few years have felt empty. And then I found you. And everything was so right. You filled that void. I felt complete when I was with you. Everything… we fit together perfectly, sally.

Sally: Then why did you end things? Give me the real reason this time.

Adam: I was… I was scared.

Nick: Leave her alone.

Adam: Wait a minute.

Nick: No. You’re dangerous, and you destroy everything you touch. That’s not gonna happen to sally ’cause I won’t let it.

Adam: [ Gasps ]

[ Exhales heavily ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

Sally: I have to admit that some of what adam said resonated with me. We had something special, really special, before he blew it up. But, I mean, as much as he says he cares about me, he still used trickery to get me on the roof. Everything with him is deception. How can I ever trust him?

[ Sighs ] And I feel weird talking with you about it ’cause [Sighs]… I can’t get you out of my head.

Nick: It’s getting messy, isn’t it? I think that’s the last thing either one of us wanted. The longer this goes on, I think we realize we should probably just… pull the plug and, uh… go our separate ways… before this gets out of hand.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Yeah. Yeah, you’re — you’re probably right — ’cause this isn’t gonna get any less complicated.

Sally: Yeah, maybe we should just walk away.

Traci: Jack, I’m so sorry about all of this. But, you know, right now it’s all just speculation. It really could be a coincidence. I’m a firm believer in innocent until proven guilty. So maybe you could just go on like you have been, but with your eyes open just a little bit wider. Maybe there’s nothing to nikki and ashley’s suspicions and the situation between you and diane and kyle doesn’t have to change.

Jack: Sound, sage, reasoned advice from my baby sister. I’ve come to expect nothing less from you. Thank you.

Traci: You’re welcome. And if there is something to all of this, eventually it will come out. The truth always does.

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.

Audra: In theory, yes, okay? But newman has spent so much capital trying to expand recently. I doubt they have the liquidity for a move like that.

Tucker: Yes, maybe you’re right. Maybe there are other suitors, but none I find as intriguing as victoria. She is a fighter.

[ Chuckles ] She’s a competitor. I wonder if she’s as formidable an opponent as her father.

Audra: Sounds like you’re about to find out.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Okay. How’d the guild vote? It’s over. Parkway will not be rerouted. Virginia benson’s remains must be moved. You failed, caroline. I’m sorry. No, you’re not. Where do you think you’re going? Anywhere away from you. You and I are not through. Not by a long shot. Hey, tara, it’s drew cain. I’m just checking in on the guild vote. The meeting didn’t exactly light up social media.

[ Knock on door ] Um, just give me a call when you get this message, okay? Hey! What a pleasant surprise. Come in, come in. Did carly know that you were coming? No, actually, it was a spur of the moment decision. But after I saw what that awful honeycutt woman was saying about carly on the news

[Sighs] I just knew I had to come and support her. Well, she’ll be happy to have it. Have you seen her yet? I just left her at the bar. Carly’s putting up a good front. But I know my daughter better than that. And so do you. Listen, I haven’t got a lot of time. I’m going to see a client. So what’s up? It’s time we put everything out in the open. What’s everything? Dominique and her son.

[ Sighs ] Britt: Dante said he saw you here, and I hoped I might be able to catch you. Well, why were you looking for me? To give you one last chance. Anna: This is my operation. All right? It is my duty to protect my civilian asset by whatever means I see fit. Gee, you know what? I don’t need protection, and I have everything under control. And the only way you are going to bring down victor cassadine is with my help. Well played, anna. Now, how should I retaliate?


And you just can’t leave me alone, can you? You don’t know what I’m going to say to you. Let me save you some time. You’re here to gloat, right? You want to make sure that I know that you won. You want me to know that you’re better than me. That I’m always going to be trash. How did I do? Did I leave anything out? Ever since you were a little girl, you had that spark in you.

[ Chuckles ] It’s remarkable how some things never change. Let me tell you something that’s changed, peyton. My need to fit in to your narrow world. I can’t believe I ever bought into your B.S. That some people were better than others. I wanted to be just like you. I wanted to be liked by you, but not anymore. I see you for the small-minded snob that you are. And you do not define my worth. I agree. I did not come here to rub in your loss. I came to apologize. You think that carly’s holding something back from you? About this mess with virginia’s grave. I mean, carly is tough, but, well, I have a hunch that this is hitting her a lot harder than she’s letting on, especially with the added stress of her being away from her kids. I know that’s a lot for her. Mm, I mean, being in jacksonville has been hard on her. It’s stirred up a lot of unpleasant memories for sure, on top of how worried she is about the guild vote and about virginia’s final resting place. So I’m not surprised that you picked up on some underlying stress. Well, carly insists that she’s handling it, but I want to know how much of that is genuine, or if — if carly is covering for my sake. And, um, why do you think that I’m the one that can answer that? Look, I’m really sorry about my lack of attention lately. You haven’t been attentive at all. You completely checked out during our last date. And all I’ve got since is a few random “what’s up” texts with no mention of future plans. Look, I know. It’s just I’ve had some stuff come up lately — wow, when you say that out loud, that really is a dumb excuse. You think? Yeah. Sorry. And I wouldn’t have kept my distance, I promise, if I hadn’t been dealing with some huge news. Exactly what is this huge news? You know, I don’t think we should really get to know it right now. Uh, you owe me some kind of explanation. Well, you made it clear that the subject was off limits. It’s the f-word.

[ Whispers ] Father. I only mentioned that so you would stop asking about my twisted relative. Oh, wait, so I’m supposed to be up front about mine? That’s hypocritical. Or a double standard or both. I think that is both. Are you really comparing mac scorpio and cesar faison? Wait, now, who — who told you? I am the one who found out that victor is working with the deputy mayor. So it’s just a matter of time before I figure out what victor’s nefarious plan is. And then you, you get to take it to robert. That’s what you want, right?

You want to be done forever with victor. Well, I am one — one “come hither” look from finding out what his plan, he’s going to tell me. Yes! You have done an outstanding job, lucy. Nobody would argue with that. Great. Then let me finish it. That — that is why you brought me in. No, I brought you in to find out what was going on with valentin, and — oh, my god — I should have ended your involvement then. Really?! Well, then, why didn’t you? Lucy. Robert. Who else are you working with, miss devane?

[ Knock on door ]


You want to apologize? At the guild meeting, you were so passionate. The love you had for virginia, your mother. If reese were still alive, would she feel that way about me? You cared so much for virginia and all the others just like her. You mean the people who are beneath you? I treated you unfairly. Now… and before. When you lived in jacksonville, actually, I was — I was unaware that virginia was buried in that — in that cemetery. Then you came back to jacksonville. You were upset about the parkway. And I admit, I… I did feel some satisfaction. Well, at least you’re being honest. After everything I lost — my husband, my daughter — I was reeling. It was easy for me to focus my pain and anger on you. There was no one else left to blame, and I have held on to that for a long while. But I never should have blamed you. You were a child, caroline. Carly. I’m so ashamed of my actions that it has taken me so long to see how wrong I was. And I am so desperately sorry, and I… I hope you might forgive me. Why do you think I have any insight into carly? Well, I like to think I know my daughter better than anyone. But lately, you’ve been giving me a run for my money.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, I guess it’s no secret that carly and i have become closer friends since I got back in port charles. Oh, it’s way more than that. All right, yes. Maxie filled me in, and she said that mac might be your father. Then why are you giving me such a hard time? You ghosted me. You think I should let that go? Yes. Yes. If you had an ounce of compassion, yes. My compassion is the reason why I’m here. I understand why you went radio silent. You do? Yes. This is the second time you found out you’re not who you thought you were. That would mess with anyone’s head. It doesn’t mean that I like that you disappeared. Normally, I wouldn’t tolerate that. But given the circumstances, I’m willing to give you a chance to come clean. Thanks, but, I mean, this is a heavy subject to talk about, especially with someone you barely know. Really? That’s the card you’re playing. I know I opened up to you at the q picnic. Or have you forgotten already? I — I didn’t forget. But, you know, me ta lkingabout my messy feelings doesn’t come easy to me, especially with someone as intimidating as you. Listen, so, cody bell, what’s he done? Is this a legal issue? He hasn’t done anything. It’s a family issue. What does that mean? Go on, tell him. Cody might be my son.

[ Sighs ] Okay, mac. I know that you had a little thing with dominique before me. However, I just assumed that that kid was leopold taub’S. It’s possible. But it’s just as likely that cody is mac’s son. Why is that? Well, mac and I think that dominique may have given birth to cody while she was at shadybrook. The timing fits, and it’s possible that she was drugged or convinced by the staff that she was hallucinating her pregnancy.

[ Sighs ] Oh, wow. Wow. Why would there be this secrecy? Look, if leopold taub knew that dominique was pregnant and the kid wasn’t his… he would have given the baby to the bells to ensure that cody could not claim dominique’s fortune. So dominique never knew she had a child.

[ Sighs ] Look, leopold taub and the woman who raised cody are both dead. We were hoping you’d know something. What I know is that I never met this kid before he showed up in this town. Well, did anything we just said jog your memory? Do you remember if dominique ever said anything, anything about her time at shadybrook, that she may have been aware that she had a child with me? If you need time to deal with your new family, I get it. But if you truly want to see where this thing between us goes, don’t ice me out.

[ Door opens ] Britt, listen. Yes? I do want to talk to you about this. It’s just I… I don’t know where to start. Okay, I’ll help. Maxi e said you don’t wantto get a dna test. Why? I already told you you were a valuable asset. Ah! So now I’m not. The situation changed, lucy. It happens. It’s just the nature of the game. Okay, so you brought martin back, which, by the way, thank you so much for doing that. You’re welcome. Yeah. But I know you. You didn’t do it out of the goodness of your heart. I brought him back because I figured that if anything could convince you to bow out, it would be him.

[ Laughs ] Nope. I win. Didn’t work. I told martin everything. What do you mean you told him everything? Everything. Everything. Everything. Everything. Everything. Everything. Everything. That’s the worst thing you could have done! Come in, dear boy. Always a pleasure. Watching a ted talk on world domination? Well, I make daily sacrifices for the good of this family. You have no idea the lengths I go to ensure its future. That’s because you never tell me. And no matter what I do, it’s never enough to get out from under your thumb. Well, I’m not the only one holding back, am I?


no excusefor my behavior, for the way I treated you. There is no excuse. You were an adult. I was a child. It was your responsibility to protect me. Yes, it was. And instead of looking inside, I was blinded by my prejudices. When i

heard you speakat the guild yesterday, I saw the little girl that was my — my daughter’s best friend. Oh, that little girl came over and did her homework, practiced her cheer routines. You were like a sister to reese. I loved reese. And I’ll always regret that she got hurt. I regret that, too. Oh, I regret… so many of my mistakes. But I did love my daughter, and I wish I’d done better by her. And better buy you. Well, we can’t change the past. We can try to make peace with it and learn from it and… move forward. I want you to know I did try to make it up to you. I changed my vote with the guild, and I tried to make your case with them, but… I couldn’t change their minds. The cost of shutting down the parkway at this point would be just too high. And I’m so sorry. And I… I wish for you everything good in your life. Peyton. Your husband did wrong by you. You deserve better. Just like reese and I did. If I have been good to carly, it is nothing compared to what she’s done for me. Carly did go out on a limb to help you and michael with aurora. Yeah, and she lost her half ownership of the metro court as a result of that. I just… it was that that had turned out differently. Me too. So why did you drop everything to come here to florida to help carly? Is it because you felt guilty about what happened to her after aurora’s merger with elq failed? No, no, no. I — I came because carly means a lot to me. And if she needs me, I will be here for her. When I got back to port charles, um, it was very obvious to me that the rest of the world had moved on while I was — I was struggling with all that I had lost. And yeah, there was a brief period where carly and i had to kind of get used to each other again, but mostly, she was my constant when everything else in my life was… was really out of control. You’re lucky. Friendships like yours are rare. Treasure that. I will. Well, I have done enough talking, so I think I better go check into my room. And to be honest, I’m a little exhausted from the trip. I bet you are. Well, it was really nice to see you. I’m glad you’re in my daughter’s life. So am I.

[ Cellphone rings ] Tara. Hey, thank you so much for getting back to me. Any news on the guild vote? Will the cemetery remain intact? You know, nothing dominique ever said to me implied that she had a son. I mean, for crying out loud, mac, you knew her. She wouldn’t hurt a fly. I mean, she would move heaven and hell if she knew that she had a kid to raise it. So this whole thing, I’m sorry, but it’s caught me flatfooted. You’re not alone. It took me a while to wrap my head around the fact that cody could be my son. Well, we just have to hope that cody agrees to a dna test. Or not. You know something I don’t? Yeah, what I know is that cody is bad news. He sucker punched me when liesl introduced me. What? Listen to me. You do not want anything to do with cody bell. You wouldn’t understand. Try me.

[ Scoffs ] Okay. Okay. Here goes. Um… everyone expects me to be all excited about mac scorpio being my dad instead of leopold taub. I mean, why wouldn’t I be falling all over myself?

[ Chuckles ] You know, upgrading in the dad department? Yeah. Mac’s a good guy. See, that’s just it. Everyone says that he’s great at everything. He’s a great father. He’s a great husband, detective. So? Most people aren’t that good. You think mac has a dark side? No. Then what? I have a past. All right? There. I said it. Congratulations. I have a past, too!

[ Laughs ] I know. But I’ve made so many bad decisions, and I have this sketchy background, and mac is this — this paragon of virtue. You’re afraid he won’t accept you. I’m not afraid. Okay, maybe I don’t want to set myself up for rejection. I mean, why would I? You don’t know that mac will reject you. Yeah, well, I don’t know that he won’t either. So why should I even bother? You know, put yourself in my shoes, okay? If there was something that could blow your whole life up, wouldn’t you be better off not knowing? Of course I’m holding back. Every day that goes by, you keep me separated from my daughter. You force my cooperation. You keep me on a very short chain. But keep in mind, every time you choke it, my patience grows a little thinner. It is so discouraging to hear such hostility from one’s son. I haven’t seen my daughter in months. You’ve allowed me to text her and very short phone calls. You use her as leverage. Well, I have complied. I framed jennifer smith for luke’s murder. I took care of your laura problem by orchestrating events so she’d feel compelled to go to italy. And what do I get in return? You keep my daughter from me. Well, I’ve proven my loyalty. Ah, but have you, though? I basica lly told martinthat he doesn’t have anything to worry about, that he has my heart. And the only reason I’m stringing along victor is because you asked me to. Did you tell him anything else about what we’re doing? Funny about that. I can’t really tell him anything else because I don’t really know exactly what it is we really are doing. Okay, so basically martin doesn’t know anything. But what little you did tell him could put him in victor’s sights. Do you understand? And he is a dangerous man, and you need to take him seriously. And you need to get out before it gets too late. Or honestly… …I’m going to be forced to take more drastic measures.


I live my life a certain way, you know? But for better or worse, it’s mine. Why should I have someone judging me now just because we share some dna? I’ve never known my real dad. Why should that change now? I actually — I do know how you feel. You do? Mm. I’ve lived in my father’s shadow my entire life. Even after he died, I… I couldn’t escape his horrible legacy. It goes beyond his rap sheet. Cesar faison left me something that had the power to disrupt my life. What was it? The details don’t matter. But the important thing is I had to make a decision. Either I live in the dark, or I face my fears and I deal with it. And?

[ Chuckles ] And after a long time, I realized that the not knowing was way worse. I had to know. So I really understand your fears. I do. But no one is saying that you have to have a relationship with mac. What you choose to do with that information is up to you. But if you choose to ignore the question, you could spend the rest of your life wondering what the answer is. And I just don’t think that’s something you could live with. That’s right. Cody sucker punched you. Uh-huh. Dante falconeri brought him in, and you refused to press charges. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes I regret my generosity. I mean, the guy just hauled off and punched me. He blamed me for giving away his inheritance or what he thought was his inheritance. You know, when I met cody at the quartermaine picnic, he did seem to be carrying some resentment toward dominique for giving him up. Yeah. See? The guy, he’s got issues. Felicia: Of course he’s got issues. His whole identity has been called into question. And now he finds himself meeting the two men in his mother’s life. Both of whom know more about dominique than he does. You have to give him time to adjust. Yeah, but that doesn’t excuse him from being a grifter. And who declared cody a grifter? I’m just quoting britt, and for crying out loud, she likes him. Look, I refuse to rush to judgment about cody. You’re right. We don’t know him. Doesn’t he deserve a chance? Well, no, not if he could hurt your real family. You have a point. You’re both missing one important thing. Okay, I have gone toe to toe with bobbie spencer, with tracy quartermaine, and everybody else in town, it feels like. I have ended up in my underthings, thrust out on the nurses ball stage in front of everybody. I don’t know how many years, and actually, one year, I ended up hanging upside down in my underwear. I have also worn a beautiful red, red dress, with a great big red hat to my wedding. And you know what? I made it work. So I’m not scared, and I’m not a quitter. And I am going to see this thing through to the end. Oh, god! None of that matters. Do you understand? You are out of your depth. This isn’t a charity gala or some tiktok challenge. Okay! But I know what I know. And I know I’m lucy coe, and I know when I have a man wrapped around my finger. And victor is just right there, wrapped around my finger. Not to mention the fact he isn’t the first guy, the other victor, that I’ve had eating out of the palm of my hand. Believe me, I am well aware of your skills. Are you aware of mine? Okay, look. Truce. Could you just trust me? You want me to get the goods to put victor away? I can get you those goods. I will make it happen. Just stay out of my way. I let you into my life. I accepted you as my father. And what do I get in return? You take my daughter hostage? Well, I’ve lied to those who care about charlotte the most. But every time I tell the story, it gets harder to believe because it’s one thing to send your child away while you’re recovering from an injury, but to leave her there month after month, never let her come home. I’ve never been away from charlotte this long, and people know that, and they’re asking questions. You told me you’d taken care of laura. I did. She’s dealing with her mother. But there are people, multiple people. Nina, just the other day. What about lulu’s family? Dante, the police detective. What about our family? Alexis? She’s editor of the invader. So if I were you, I would reconsider your tactics. Because if you don’t, all your plans, your work is going to come crashing down. Is that a threat? It’s reality.

[ Sighs ] You’re right. It’s not fair to keep you separated from charlotte for so long. After all, you have been by my side. You’ve helped me put my plans into action. You’ve even shown loyalty in intercepting your cousin nikolas’ insane false confession to the murder of esme prince. You’ve put in a lot of effort on my behalf. It’s time you were met with the appropriate reward. Thank you. I’m sorry, mom. Too little, too late. No surprise there, huh?

[ Sighs ] Hey, um, we didn’t, um — I know. I know.

[ Sighs ]


I only just found out about the vote. Want to know who told me? Peyton.

[ Sighs ] It’s the last thing that you need. She actually came to apologize. How did that make you feel? I wish I could say that I didn’t care that peyton apologized, but I do. When I was a kid, I wanted reese’s life. You know, I mean, I especially wanted her mother. I wanted a beautiful mom who drove around town in a convertible and who would go to the country club and play tennis and would throw these big parties and do lunch. A far cry from my mother, who would pack her own lunch when she went to work because she couldn’t afford to eat in the cafe. She was always balancing her checkbook, saving every penny she had so she could buy me a pair of tennis shoes, and they were always wrong. When I was a freshman, I got an award at the end of the year for having a 4.0 gpa. I never told my mother about the assembly. I went with reese’s family. Can you imagine how much that hurt my mother? God, I was a rotten daughter. And here, I thought I could make up for it now, and I failed her. No. No, you didn’T. I have failed her every day for years. I did. She was so good to me, and I never appreciated it. And I know she would love to have been buried by the ocean. And I couldn’t even give her that. You really believe that you can have your cake and eat it, too? Uh, duh. That’s the point of cake. This has gone too far. The risk to you and now, by extension, martin, is too high. I brought you into this, and I can take you out. Okay, what do you think vict or is going to think? Really, don’t you think it’ll seem strange to him that I’ve been fawning all over him all this time, and, all of a sudden, I’m ghosting him? God knows what will happen when he starts wondering about me. Mm. Mm. I wonder what else happens. I think in time, he will probably figure out what we are really up to. Let me deal with that. You’re out! I’m not letting you do this anymore. You aren’t “letting” me do anything. Is that so? Yeah. You know what’s so funny? Is you think you control everything. Sweet. You do not control me.

[ Door slams ] Ooh! You’re so wrong about that! And what would you call an appropriate reward? I’m going to arrange for you to go visit charlotte. You are? Yeah, well, it doesn’t do anyone any good to keep father and daughter separated indefinitely. I’ll call the school and make arrangements for you to go see her. Thank you. Of course there is one condition. You’ll leave immediately and on my plane. Why? No, I’ll get ready. I’ll leave first thing in the morning on a commercial flight. Do you really expect me to give you time to launch an ill-advised rescue mission? No, I’m afraid that — that doesn’t align with my plans. No, if you want to see charlotte again, you will leave within the hour, on my plane, alone. Well, except for the men I’ll have guarding you. Or you don’t see charlotte at all. Whatever h is upbringing,whoever his father is, cody is dominique’s son. He may have inherited her good qualities, the same ones that made the two of you fall in love with her.

[ Cellphone rings ] Mac scorpio. Um, yeah. This is, um — this is cody bell. I hope you don’t mind. Your wife gave me your number. Uh, not at all. What can I do for you? Um… I’m in. Let’s set up this dna test. If you still want to. I do.

I’ll set it up. We’ll talk soon. What was that about? That was cody. The dna test is on. He is setting up the dna test. How do you feel about it? Turns out you were right. I had to know the truth. Just don’t let it go to your head. Too late. [ Laughs ] I’m actu ally surprisedyou took my advice. Why? Well, besides my patients, usually people do the opposite of what I would do. It was good advice. People should listen to you more. Thanks. Actually, I should take my own advice. There’s something I need to deal with.


Virginia no longer has a final resting place. Do you remember what you told me that virginia always said? That there’s no problem that a few hours at the beach can’t solve. Why don’t we just grab a couple beers and we honor her by taking her advice, which is go figure this out at the beach. I have an idea. Maybe we haven’t lost yet. The first step is just to get answers. Agreed. And whatever the outcome, your whole family is behind you. I’m a lucky man. Okay, listen. This will probably come back to bite you. Hell, I’m getting another martini. Would you care to share, or is it some sort of state secret? Okay. Uh, it’s about my brother, peter. When he died, some of his things were left to me. I passed them on to maxie to get rid of, but at the last minute, I called and told her not to destroy them. So she brought them back to me, and after all this time, I still have the box stuffed in an armoire. Guess I should finally get rid of peter for good. Well, I mean, you know, seeing as how you just helped me, it seems only fitting that maybe I help you get rid of your brother’s effects, if you want. Okay. Why not? We have a lucy problem. So, are we clear on everything? Good. It’s time for a repeat performance of the cable-car tragedy.

[ Knock on door ] Uh, I’ll talk to you later. Hi. Are you, um, up for some company? Well, my, my, my. If it isn’t the star of the show.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Still can’t believe we didn’t find anything in that lap, you know? Well, Dr. Rfu used to cover his tracks to making a quick getaway, and he’s an expert that by now. But, uh, thank you. Thanks for trying to help us out. Oh, of course. Man. Look, I’m not giving up. I just hope we find something, anything that will lead to a cure to help Marlena, Aunt Kayla and my mom.

And I think I may have good news. Yeah. What are you doing here? I think you and I need to talk. Hmm. I don’t see why. . Well, I think that everything needs to be out in the open.

You know, this whole uh, situation with you and Brady and me, it can’t keep going on. Oh, I agree. Yeah. This situation is costing me my daughter. Listen, Kristen, I know that you are suffering, but so Brady and Rachel, and for their sakes, I think that you and I need to call truth.

Sammy, Sammy, I have to go. No, it’s not about mamo. Hey, please, just don’t worry. Okay. I’ll call you if there’s anything new. I promise. I love you.

Hi, I, I hope you didn’t hang up on my account. No, it was, uh, Sammy, just calling check in on Mom. I already told her everything I knew, which is, it’s not much. I talked to Chloe Bell, said that Marlene is really struggling now. Yeah, she’s, um, conscious a lot of the time. Oh, I’m so sorry. Thank you. When I hung up with Chloe, I, I just started walking.

I didn’t make a decision and I, I just ended up here

like Sam through the hour class. So are the days of our lives.

Have you heard any news about Kate and Caleb? Um, they’re not doing well either. Oh, that’s awful. How’s your dad holding up? Actually, I just married him and. Oh, about an hour ago what he married Kate. Oh, that, That’s the most lovely and heartbreaking thing I’ve heard in a while. That’s pretty much what it was like to be part of Lovely and heartbreaking.

Yeah. What did they come up with? The idea together? No. Debt surprised you with three and apparently he had to talk her saying yes. That would be case even now, now. Well, Rick and I, we walked in on that surprise and Rick’s became the witness. I performed the wedding, obviously, and um, and Kate, they just looked so happy.

Oh, grabbing happiness during all this misery. That’s beautiful. It is. You know, Roman and Kate have been through their ups and downs, been with other people. I, it’s, it’s like they’re each other’s destiny. Some couples are just like that.

Hmm. A truce and then, Shopping, lunches, spa days. No, but we can’t act like civilized adults. That’s better for Rachel, don’t you think? Oh, wow. Rachel is not gonna get over this. You know, She knows you’re the one who, whom made it so that she can’t see me. You know, she was over the moon when I called her and told her I got a party, and Brady and I, we were getting along.

We were parenting together, and you. You ruined everything. Hmm. Well, I’m, I’m sorry that you feel that way. You know, I came here to appeal to you as one mom to another. Listen, I know that you love Rachel and I was just hoping for her sake that you would work with us Oh. And work with you. How? Well, if you let Rachel know that it’s important that the three of us get along.

I could convince Brady to let the judge know that you should have some visitation rights with Rachel. That’s what’s best for her, the three of us working together on her before. Okay, Don’t do dare Tell me what is best for my daughter. What is best for me and Rachel is that you are out of our lives for good and you would do anything to make that happen, right?

I know that you’re the one that sneaked that note into Rachel’s lunch. Just what? Oh, come on. Like you don’t know the note saying that I’m the reason her family fell apart. What kind of a mother does that to her own child? Bad. Call down. Gimme bottle. Got a note this morning. Just like the police did and my note was delivered with that damn orchid.

Write there just like this was delivered to the police in my note, said the doc was gonna wid and die just like that damn orchid there. And my note was written by or is all he wants me to do is give this to Doc so he can kill her more quickly. Dad, the police got. Yeah. Uh, the note said that what was in the vial is the same serum that was extracted from the same orchid 25 years ago that was used on Roman Brady, and it, it said that it would save Marlena’s life, Kates and Kayla Johnson.

Okay. I know the only reason he said that is because he wants us to use it on him. It’s poison. Don’t think it, I, I don’t think it is. I think this is exactly what we have been praying. Why the hell would you say a thing like that? Dr. Wolf is the one who brewed up that orchestra for Roman back in the day, right?

Yeah. 25 years ago, Kristin. But due to climate change, the orchid is now extinct. Your P Dr. Roth claimed that the drug could not be duplicated as a result. Right? And we all know how honest Dr. Roth is. His lab was thoroughly searched. There’s nothing. Well, maybe it’s because I, uh, moved the Orkin before anyone showed up.

You moved that you were playing with me. Don’t do that.

You see Wolf, you saved seedlings from the, uh, Orkin that cured Roman, and then he secretly grew a new plant. And just so you know, the serum is being formulated as we speak, and I hear that Marlena and company are all feeding fast. Dad, if there’s a snowballs chance in hell that whatever is in there can work.

Aren’t we obligated to try it? Pat? We don’t have anything else. We’re running out of time here. I, I think your son might be right, Mr. Black. If you lost your wife and this turns out to be the cure and you’d never forgive yourself.

Oh my god, guys are so right. What am I thinking? I can’t get rid of whatever’s in. They don’t have the right to make that choice for doc. I just wish there were some way to make sure that this is what the note says. Its job RA just told me about the VI serum. I’m gonna take that to a lab and have it analyzed.

Well that that’s gonna take time. That I don’t know if we have Doc. All she does is slave Steve said Ka can’t even that. My mom is really weak too, but I just don’t want to inject three women with something that we do not understand. So I’m gonna tell the lab tech to put a fast track on that and I’m gonna wait for it.

Dad, it’s your call.

Go ahead. Right. Is belt still with Marlena? Yeah. And I’m heading back there, but you can come with me. You want to. If it’s alright, I’m gonna, I’m gonna wait for Rex all.

I think I should get back to the hospital. Can I just say something before you go, or rather make a suggestion? Oh, of course. Um, I have to be honest with you, it is killing me to watch you go through this and I know how close you are with Marlena and, and, and she’s been through some really rough times with you.

She’s been there for you. Yeah, she has. Yeah. Especially when I was drinking and, and when you had to leave the priesthood, sir. We found out our baby had time. She was there for you?

She was there for me. No, just let me, let me be there for you.

No, no, no. Not like before. And I married and you’re with Jada and. But we’re still friends, right? Yeah, of course we are. Right? You are always the person that shows up. Everyone else, let me be the person that shows up for you. So when you go to the hospital, let me go with you.

Happy. Great. Really? Nobody knows me like you.

I mean, I mean, I was, honestly, I was dreading, dreading, just dreading going back to the hospital, seeing my mom in that condition, and it’s just,

You were, you just, just appeared, always seemed to show when I you the most.

I ask you a question? Yeah, sure. Do you have any idea who wrote that note that we got? If I reconcile with you, everybody, everybody’s gonna know that you use the orchid to blackmail me into doing it. No. No, they won’t because you’re not gonna say anything about it, you see? No, Because if you do say something, This whole deal is off.

Why would you think I would know who wrote the note? Uh, well, you know all the players involved and you’re very I, that the Syrian be used. Yeah. Well, and look, Marla is like a mother to me. I was very afraid that my dad’s anger about Orpheus would blind him to the fact that this could help her. And Kate and Kayla.

So you don’t, you don’t have any doubts about the serum? No. I got, I got a ton of doubts about it. Yeah. But I mean, this is the only hope that we’ve had. So, um, I have to, uh, I gotta check on the lab and make sure they’re making progress. Excuse me.

I did not write that. Let alone put it in Rachel’s lunchbox. I knew what it said because Rachel called me from a friend’s house and she read it to me. Sure. And I’m sure you told her that every word was true. Well, it is true. Anyone could have written it. Oh God. Anyone who who heard about the judges insane ruling would be horrified to see a mother’s rights get trampled on.

Can you just stop it? You know, you can play victim all you want, but Brady and I both know that you’ve been out to get me since before we even became a couple. I saw you skulking around the courthouse that day, and I knew the fix was in because everything was going my way before that. You got that right?

Mm-hmm. didn’t that judge, she was bending over backwards to give Rachel’s mother the benefit of the doubt and then all of a sudden she turned against me and that was your doing. And no one is gonna gonna me otherwise. You’re damn right. It was my doing. And if I had to do it again, I would do exactly the same thing.

Please tell me you found something at Wall Slab. No. No, I didn’t damn it. But we do have some good news. What, What is it? So dropped off a vial of something at the police station and the note said that the vile contained serum that was made from the same species of orchid that helped Uncle Roman. Oh my God.

It’s wonderful. We’re not get ahead of ourselves here. We don’t know anything for sure yet. Rex fit down to the lab to get analyzed. Okay. Yeah, Sean.

Hey. Sorry. Sorry I haven’t been here. Now it’s because he’s been working around the clock to try to help you. Doc

promised me you’ll take care of be.

Come on down. I’m gonna talk like that cuz no one’s giving up here now. Right? I’m just so weary. I know honey. I know Honey, we just need you to hold on a little bit.

Oh, hey, uh, I, I was just headed home, um, and I ran into Eric. Hm, great. Anyway, I came here because, uh, I was looking for, you have news. Someone dropped off a vial at headquarters anonymously with a note saying that it’s a cure for your mother. It’s hate and Kayla for real. Yeah. Yeah. And uh, Jada took it over to the hospital and Rex is analyzing it as it speaks.

Can’t believe it. I should get over there. Thank you for letting me know. Appreciate. Oh, this is his unbelievable news. Maybe this is the cure that everyone’s hoping for. Yeah, that’d be great. Yeah. And then maybe I can stop finding you in Eric’s arms.

So what did you do to poison the judge’s mind against me? Oh, it wasn’t a case of poisoning her mind. The problem was that her hands were tied to begin with because she couldn’t use any of the crimes you’d been pardoned of as evidence. So I just happened to show her a little tape of you trying to attack me with that letter opener.

You hadn’t been pardon of that and she saw what you’re capable of. Mm. And Brady thinks you’re such a saint. Huh? . I wonder how he’ll feel when he finds out that, uh, you did this to me. Oh, I, I know how he feels because I told him everything. And you know what? He was thrilled. He loved me for it. You know, I was really stupid of you to come after me like that.

Brady was prepared to share custody for Rachel’s sake. But no, you had to have it all. It wasn’t enough for. You overplayed your hand, honey, and now Brady and your daughter, all to herself, and that is gonna blow up in his face because Rachel hates you for what you did. And she is furious with Brady for being with you, and it won’t be long until she turns against.

And how do you think he’s gonna feel about you then, Chloe?

I mean, so why don’t you just save us a lot of heartache and give a mis freedom? You know, I. I tried that earlier today actually. He wouldn’t hear of it.

I have a feeling he might just change his mind.

Hey, Lab Tech said I could find you here. So we compared what’s in the vial to what my dad got 25 years. and it’s a close match. All right, what are we waiting for? Hey. Just told me if you told me about the VI that was left at the police station and you brought it here, Uh, yeah. Your brother Rex is at the lab right now.

Haven’t analyzed it. Oh my God. Thank you so much for getting here so quickly. Well, I knew what was in that vile. I wasn’t about to stop for lunch. Well, you said you wanted to be hero who solves this? Well, you may be that. Yeah. Well, I don’t care about being a hero anymore. I just, I just want that stuff to work and, um, I don’t know.

I just wanna find out where that tip came from. But as Brady said, Not a priority right now. Well, hey, do you have a few minutes? Sure. I have a big favorite ask for you. Anything? Well, it’s just I don’t wanna leave my mom. All right. My dad has no idea about this, You know, the vial. So if they just had to use it, he may have to get Kay over here pretty quickly.

I’ll leave right now. Listen, and I, And please tell him I’ll call him if I know of anything done. Thank you so much.

What did you say? I think you heard me call. It seems like every time I turn around, you and Eric are holding each other. It’s getting kind of old every time you turn around. Gina and I, we caught you and Eric and a clench last. But we explained that Eric just told me about Marlena, Kate and Kayla were friends.

Okay, honey, I thought you understood that. Okay. Yeah. Like friends in show sympathy to one another or support one another by patting them on the back. Okay? Okay. But Eric just told me Marla and I was dying and you want me to just pat him on the back? I mean, he’s always there for everyone else right now.

He needs someone to help him through this, right? Right. There’s always an explanation, or maybe I should say an excuse. So now I need an excuse to be there for someone I care about. I need a reason to be Compass. For someone who’s suffering. Okay? This isn’t just someone, okay? This is your ex-husband, the person from Rome.

You are divorced and this someone is getting a little tired of seeing you giving him affection. Okay? I’m your husband now. I am your husband, Nicole. You are married to me. Or maybe you have forgotten about that.

Of course I haven’t forgotten that we’re married. Maybe you’ve forgotten that. Getting married was my idea. At home. We were already planning a wedding, one where our friends and our families could join us. You know, for reasons I still don’t understand at this day, you were suddenly in a hurry to get it done.

Well, I, Cause I thought maybe a big wedding would be too much pressure. I was there. You never said anything about pressure. You just, you wanted to get in the car and go to the courthouse and get it over with? No, no. I was thinking about you, Abigail had just been murdered and your knee deep in this investigation and, and I had no idea when you would have time for a wedding.

Okay. Is that what it was or was it because you had just spent the day with Eric? What? Hey, you, you went to Abe in Pauline’s. And, um, that was right after that. You were, you were in such a hurry to get it done. No, I, I saw their wedding and I just realized that I wanted something simpler. . Yeah. We don’t get much simpler than a clerk and a polo shirt.

Yeah.

Well, well, I’m sorry for the lack of. You know, and Eric, you were Aten Paul in his wedding and there was just romance in the air. And

I maybe you thought to yourself, Well, I let Eric go too easily. Like, and um, maybe I made a mistake with you. Fuck.

So you’re trying to convince me that Brady can’t live without you. I’m sorry, Chloe. No sale. I’m just telling you what happened earlier today. Hey, I’m the one who felt really bad about this whole Rachel situation, and I decided to take matters into my own hands. What a surprise. Fred has a lot on his mind right now.

Marlena could die. Rachel’s acting like she hates him, but he still wouldn’t hear us splitting up. You know why? Because he said it would be playing right into your hands and he couldn’t let you win. Let’s stop wasting time. Give me the orchid and I’ll give you what you want.

I love my little girl, but Chad custody isn’t what I. I want you to break it off with Chloe.

No way. No way. Now. Wow. You are wasting time again. You wanna save Marlena’s life yet? Dump Chloe and then he get back together with me.

Well, there could be another reason why Brady said what he did. Maybe he didn’t want you to be the one to end things. Maybe he wanted to do that himself.

Hi everyone. I just told Brady that I had this serum analyzed and the chemical makeup is very close to what cured my dad. I’m. 95% sure that this is the real deal. It’s not a hundred though, right? No. And ordinarily I would hold out for that, but these are not ordinary circumstances. My gut is telling me that I want give this serum to Marlena and Kayla and my mom as soon as possible.

All right, well, I’m, I’m worried about the risk that I’m in doc’s not, you know, her healthy self. What if it turns out that this serum is toxic? There’s only one thing to do. I think we came with the drug and see what.

You are truly diluted. I wouldn’t be surprised if Brady finally realizes that this relationship is too costly. It’s an impossible situation because you make it that way. Oh my God, I, I shouldn’t even have come here. I should have known as a waste of time. You’ll never care about anyone but yourself. And you don’t have a shred of decency.

Actually, I do. I know how serious Marlena’s situation is, So I need to ask you a question. Why are you here? I mean, Marlene’s on her death. And unless there’s a miracle she could die. So don’t you wanna be there for the man you love?

Oh honey, your bad day is just beginning.

Sweet. No one here is asking you to be a Guinea pig. I know that I’m volunteering.

I’m conscious, I’m, My mind is stable. I don’t know how long that’s gonna last. I think we give the medication if it. It improved my situation. Then we gave it to Kate and Kayla. I I think we should do this right away. John,

that’s not my decision.

Please do what Marlena wants.

Okay. Okay, let’s do this. Um, I’m sorry, but I’m gonna have to ask everybody to leave the room. Eric. Yeah. Is this, If this doesn’t go well, I’d like to receive last rights.

Oh, I’ll take care of your mom.

I’d like

absolutely.

You’re the one great love of my life.

So let me get this straight. According to you now, I realize that I even up on Eric too easily. So my reaction was to go to you and say, Let’s get married as fast as we. That doesn’t make any sense. Well, it does to me.

You, uh, you thought you hurried up and married me, that you would stop pining for Eric Pining pin. I love you. I didn’t wanna fall in love with you because you were with a. I tried to stop and I couldn’t. If I was fine for anyone it was you. I’m just saying that. Okay. Please just tell me the truth.

The truth is I don’t regret marry.

You are my husband. And I love you,

so why didn’t you ever come to me? Why? Why didn’t you come to me and ask me how I felt before you hired him?

You could say, Hey, brave. Um, hey, how would you feel if I hired my ex-husband? Would, would that be okay? I mean, I, this is the same guy that used to take photos of me and a bikini, but, um, that bother, that is not fair. You told me yourself. I want, Eric was a photographer and you were the model. That’s when you two fell in love.

It just, just kind of felt to me like you wanted to recreate that situation. He needed a job and I gave him one look, I am his boss, not his model. That is a totally different dynamic. Okay. Is it really all right? Look, you know what? If I did, if I did come. , I’ll 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.

So now you’re gonna tell me who I can and can’t hire. When did you become a caveman? This isn’t a normal hiring situation, Nicole. It’s Eric that we are talking about. Well, oh, you think it’s a good idea for two to be working so closely together so you don’t trust me

in this situation?

He, I don’t wait. No, no, no, no, no. You don’t get to walk away from me. You don’t get to drop this bomb and walk away. We are gonna talk about this.

What is there to say? Ra Rafe.

Better not be playing games with me. Kristen. Hey. Ready? Hi. I wanna see Marla is doing. Yeah, I am. There’s, there’s been a major development, there was a vial of serum that was left at the police station along with a note saying that it, it’s a cure from Marla, Kate, and Kayla. Do you think it’s real? I don’t.

Rex seems to think it’s promis. Marla is willing to take it. I think she’s being given it right now. Oh wow. That’s, that’s scary. But I guess it’s better than nothing. We’ll have to wait to see how she reacts to determine whether it’s real or not. Wow, that’s amazing. Do we know where the serum came from?

Um, it’s, Paul probably wants to know how Marlena is. Okay.

What the hell do you want? Oh, well I was just checking in. Mm. I wanted to let you know that um, the cure I promised you is being delivered to the police station. Rex is giving it to Marleno right now. Oh, well that was speed. Well, she should be feeling better very soon. Hope to God you’re right. And if I am Brady, you’re gonna have to hold up your end under the bargain, and you’re gonna have to get ready to give Chloe the bad news.

Marlena, I just wanna make sure that you still want to receive this. I. Yes, my mind is made up. Okay, here we go.

Update written by Dustin

In Carly’s hotel in Jacksonville, Peyton tells Carly that the parkway won’t be re-routed, and that Carly has failed. Carly tries to leave, but Peyton grabs her by the arm and tells her that they are not done, not by a long shot. Carly assumes she wants to remind her that she’s a loser and trash. Carly tells Peyton that she used to admire her, she used to want to be liked by her and to fit into her narrow little world but that Peyton no longer determined Carly’s worth.  Peyton agrees and explains that she came to apologize to her.  Peyton says she was moved by Carly’s speech at the guild meeting, and the genuine love that she obviously felt for Virginia. She has to wonder if Reece were still alive would her daughter feel that way about her? Peyton swears that she never knew Virginia was buried in that cemetery until Carly arrived. Peyton admits Carly was only a child back then, and she should have been protected her from Robert and not punished her for his actions. Peyton hopes Carly might forgive her one day.

Peyton regrets not doing better by both Reece and Carly. Carly agrees that Peyton should have defended both Carly and Reece because they were children. She also notes that they can’t change the past, but they can learn from it and move forward. Peyton admits she changed her vote and tried to make Carly’s case to the other members, but the cost of stopping the project was just too high. Peyton says she wishes nothing but good things for her. Peyton goes to leave, but Carly stops her. She says her husband did her wrong and she deserved better, just like Reece did. Peyton takes Carly’s hands, nods, and walks out leaving Carly shocked.

Up in Carly’s room, Drew is surprised when Bobbie appears. Bobbie explains she had to come and support Carly after that awful news article, and she’s worried Carly is just putting up a brave front for her sake. Bobbie asks why Drew dropped everything to rush down to Jacksonville to help Carly, and if it was out of guilt over the failed Aurora merger and the huge toll it exacted on Carly’s finances. He insists he came because Carly means a lot to him. Bobbie says she is glad he is in Carly’s life. Later after Bobbie goes to her room, Drew gets a call that the beautification guild has voted to allow the parkway to go forward, which will force the relocation of all the remaining graves in the cemetery.

Drew heads down to find Carly in the restaurant, and he already knows how the vote went. He comforts Carly. Carly informs him that she learned about it from Peyton and that she apologized. Carly cries that Virginia was so good to her and she didn’t appreciate her, and once again she’s failed her. Drew suggests they grab some beers and head to the beach to figure out what’s next. But, Drew’s idea gives Carly an idea.  She tells Drew that maybe they haven’t lost yet.

Mac and Felicia meet with Scott at the Metro Court to talk about Dominique and Cody. Mac tells Scott there is a possibility that Cody might be his son. Felicia explains they think Dominique gave birth to Cody while at Shady Brook, and the staff may have kept her drugged, so she never knew about the baby. They ask Scott if he recalls if Dominique said anything about her time at Shady Brook.

Scott reveals Dominique never said anything to him about knowing she had a son. He says that he had never heard of Cody Bell before Cody showed up in Port Charles. Scott also knows that Dominique would never have given up on a child of hers. However, he calls Cody bad news and warns Mac to have nothing to do with him. Scott says the guy’s got issues. Felicia understands why because his life has been upended. Mac refuses to rush to judgment because they don’t know Cody, and he deserves a chance.

At Kelly’s, Britt tells Cody that she’s come to give him one last chance to explain why he’s ghosted her. He apologizes for being checked out and explains he’s had stuff come up, which after saying it out loud he admits sounds pretty lame. Cody tells Britt that he has learned some potentially huge news, but she doesn’t like talking about fathers, so he didn’t tell her about it. She asks if he is really comparing Mac to Faison. He wonders who told her about Mac. She admits it was Maxie, and she understands why he ghosted her as this is the second time he found out he isn’t who he thought he was. He admits talking about his feelings doesn’t come easy to him, especially with someone as intimidating as her.

She inquires why he hasn’t gotten the DNA test. Cody notes everyone expects him to be excited about this, and that Mac is a great guy and far better than Leopold. However not everyone is as good as Mac, and Cody says he is not like Mac in that regarded, he has a past. Britt reminds him that she has one too. Britt suspects he is afraid Mac won’t accept him. Cody admits he doesn’t want to set himself up for rejection. Cody asks Britt if there was something that could blow her life up, wouldn’t she feel it was better not to know?

Britt knows how he feels and has lived in Faison’s shadow and with his terrible legacy, and he left her something that has the power to disrupt her life. She doesn’t go into details but says she had to either live in the dark or face her fears and deal with them. She feels that not knowing is worse, so she understands his fears. However, what he chooses to do with the DNA results is up to him, and she doesn’t think he can live with the not knowing. 

Cody calls Mac and tells him he agrees to the DNA test. Mac tells him that he’ll set it up. After the call, Britt is surprised he took her advice because people usually don’t. She realizes she should take her own advice and finally deal with the box of effects that Peter left her. Cody says that since Britt helped him with his problem that it seems only fitting that he should help with hers.  He offers to help her deal with the box that Peter left her and Britt accepts. 

Back at the Metro Court, Mac reveals to Felicia and Scott that the DNA test is on.

At Anna’s, Lucy tells Anna the only way she will be able to bring down Victor, is with her help. Lucy gloats she’s so close to getting the goods on Victor’s. Anna reminds her that she only brought her in to help Valentin, and she should have ended it then and there.  Lucy asks Anna to just trust her. Anna states this has gone too far, and that it is Anna’s responsibility to keep every civilian asset in her operation safe. Lucy points out that if she starts ghosting Victor then he’ll begin asking questions. Anna tells Lucy to let her deal with that and tells Lucy she’s out. Lucy informs Anna that she doesn’t control her and walks out. Anna screams at Lucy and says that they will see about that.

In his suite at the Metro Court, Victor hears Lucy’s maniacal tirade over the listening device implanted in the necklace, implicating not only Anna in her schemes but Robert as well.  Victor then ponders how best to retaliate. He also wonders who other than Lucy and Robert is working with Anna. Just then, Valentin appears at the door.

Valentin assails his father for keeping him away from Charlotte even though he has done everything he’s asked, He’s lied to those he cares about the most about Charlotte for months, and the lie is getting harder to keep up. Valentin suggests his father rethink his plans because he is about at the end of his rope.

Victor admits Valentin is right and that he should be rewarded for his good work. Victor says he will arrange for him to visit Charlotte. However, there is one condition, he must leave immediately, on Victor’s plane, and he must go alone. Victor will not allow Valentin to fly coach or give him time to organize a rescue mission.  Victor tells Valentin that this is the only way he will be allowed to see Charlotte. After Valentin departs, Victor makes a call and says it’s time for a repeat performance of the cable car tragedy. There is a knock at the door, and it’s Lucy. Victor says, “Well, well, if it isn’t the star of the show.”

Update written by Joseph

Rex and Shawn go to the police station as Rex complains about not finding anything in Dr. Rolf’s lab. Shawn thanks him for trying to help. Rex refuses to give up and hopes they find anything that will lead to a cure for Kayla, Marlena, and Kate. Rafe arrives and announces he may have good news.

Chloe shows up at Kristen’s door and says they need to talk. Kristen doesn’t see why. Chloe thinks everything needs to be out in the open. Chloe says the whole situation with them and Brady can’t keep going on. Kristen agrees because this situation has cost her, her daughter. Chloe knows she’s suffering but says so are Brady and Rachel, so for them, she thinks they need to call a truce.

Eric is on the phone with Sami outside the Pub. He tells her not to worry about Marlena as he has to go and promises to call her if there’s anything new. Eric hangs up as Nicole approaches. Nicole mentions talking to Chloe, who said that Belle said Marlena is really struggling. Eric confirms she’s unconscious a lot. Nicole tells Eric that she’s so sorry. Nicole says she just started walking and ended up here. Eric is glad she did as they sit together on the bench. Nicole asks if he’s heard any news about Kate and Kayla. Eric responds that they aren’t doing well either. Nicole asks how Roman is holding up. Eric reveals that he just married Roman and Kate about an hour ago. Nicole calls that the most lovely and heartbreaking thing she’s heard in awhile. Eric says that’s what it was like to be a part of. Eric explains that Roman surprised Kate with a ring and had to convince her to say yes, then he and Rex walked in so Rex became the witness while he performed the wedding. Eric states that Roman and Kate just looked so happy which Nicole calls beautiful. Nicole talks about Roman and Kate being through their ups and downs and with other people, but it’s like they are each others’ destiny.

Kristen questions Chloe wanting to call a truce and mockingly asks if they are going to hang out after. Chloe says they can act like civilized adults and that would be better for Rachel. Kristen assures that Rachel won’t get over this since she knows Chloe is the reason she can’t see her. Kristen talks about when she got the pardon and how she and Brady were getting along as co-parents until Chloe ruined everything. Chloe is sorry that Kristen feels that way. Chloe says she came to appeal to her as one mom to another, so she hoped for Rachel’s sake that Kristen would work for them. Chloe says if Kristen lets Rachel know that it’s important for them all to get along then she could help Brady convince the judge to let Kristen have visitation rights. Chloe declares that the three of them working together is best for Rachel. Kristen cuts her off and warns her not to tell her what’s best for her daughter. Kristen says what would be best for her and Rachel would be for Chloe to be out of their lives for good. Chloe accuses Kristen of putting the note in Rachel’s lunchbox that said Chloe is the reason her family fell apart. Chloe questions what kind of mother does that to her own child.

Brady arrives at the hospital to stop John from smashing the serum vial that Jada just delivered. John explains that he got a note with an orchid just like the police got with the vial and that his note said Marlena was going to wilt and die like the orchid and it was from Orpheus. John worries that Orpheus just wants to get the vial to Marlena to kill her more quickly. Brady stops him and asks about the note that the police got. Jada explains that the note said the vial is with the same serum that saved Roman’s life 25 years ago and it can save Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. John doesn’t believe it is and thinks it’s poison that will kill them. Brady disagrees and thinks it is what they have been praying for. John questions why the hell Brady would say that. Brady thinks back to Kristen agreeing to give the serum. Brady tells John that they don’t have anything else and they are running out of time. Jada thinks he might be right. Jada argues that John would never forgive himself if he lost Marlena and this turns out to be the cure. John decides they are right and asks what he’s thinking. John says he doesn’t have the right to get rid of whatever is in the vial. John wishes there was some way to know what was in it. Shawn and Rex then arrive at the hospital. Rex says that Rafe just told him about the vial of serum so he wants to take it to the lab to have it analyzed. Brady worries that will take time that they might not have. Rex understands but doesn’t want to inject three women with something they don’t know. Rex says he’ll tell the lab to fast track it and he will wait for it. Brady decides it’s John’s call, so John instructs Rex to go ahead. Shawn asks if Belle is still in with Marlena. John confirms that she is and he was just heading back there. John asks if Brady wants to join them but Brady decides to wait for Rex.

Eric tells Nicole that he should get back to the hospital. Nicole stops him and says she has to be honest that it’s killing her to watch him go through this and she knows how close he is with Marlena and she’s been there for him through rough times. Eric agrees, especially when he was drinking, leaving the priesthood, and when he and Sarah found out their baby died. Nicole asks Eric to let her be there for him. Nicole clarifies that she doesn’t mean like before since she’s married and he’s with Jada, but they are still friends. Nicole says that Eric is always the person that shows up for everyone else, so she wants to be the person that’s there for him. Nicole asks Eric to let her go to the hospital with him. Eric agrees that would be great and admits that nobody knows him like her. Eric adds that he was dreading going back to the hospital and seeing his mom in that condition, but then Nicole just appeared as she always seems to show up when he needs her the most. Nicole and Eric then hug as Rafe comes around the corner, shocked to see them again.

Jada asks if Brady has any idea who wrote the note that they got. Brady thinks back to the deal he made with Kristen and how she forbid him to say anything to anyone about it. Brady asks Jada why she would think he would know who wrote the note. Jada points out that he knows everyone involved and he was very insistent that the serum being used. Brady explains that Marlena is like a mother to him, so he was afraid that John’s anger would blind him from the fact that the serum could help Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. Jada questions Brady not having any doubts about the serum. Brady claims he has a ton of doubts but it’s the only hope they’ve had. Brady decides to go check on the lab to make sure they are making progress and hurries off, leaving Jada confused.

Kristen tells Chloe that she did not write the note or put it in Rachel’s lunchbox. Kristen says she knew what it said because Rachel called her and read it to her. Chloe is sure Kristen told her that it’s true. Kristen says it is true so anyone could have written it. Kristen argues that anyone would be horrified to see a mother’s rights get trampled on. Chloe argues that Kristen can play the victim all she wants but they both know that she’s been out to get her since before she and Brady became a couple. Kristen brings up seeing Chloe around the courthouse that day so she knew the fix was in because everything was going her way until that day. Kristen adds that the judge was bending over backwards to give her the benefit of the doubt but then suddenly turned on her. Kristen declares that was Chloe’s doing and nobody will convince her otherwise. Chloe admits that it was her doing and she would do it again.

Shawn and John join Belle in Marlena’s hospital room. Belle asks if Shawn found anything in Dr. Rolf’s lab. Shawn says he didn’t but they do have good news. John informs Belle that someone dropped off a vial at the police station. Shawn adds that the note said it contains the same serum that cured Roman 25 years ago. Belle gets excited, though John warns not to get ahead of themselves as they don’t know anything for sure. Shawn notes that Rex went to the lab to get it analyzed. Marlena wakes up and calls out to Shawn. Shawn apologizes for not being here until now. John points out that Shawn has been working around the clock to try and help her. Marlena thanks him and asks Shawn to promise to take care of Belle. Belle turns away, holding back tears. John tells Marlena not to talk like that because no one is giving up. John encourages Marlena to hold on just a little bit longer.

As Rafe approaches, Nicole tells him that she was headed home and just ran in to Eric. Rafe says he came looking for Eric because he has news. Rafe informs him that someone dropped off a vial with a note saying it’s a cure for Marlena, Kate, and Kayla, so Jada took it the hospital and Rex is analyzing it as they speak. Eric can’t believe it and says he should get over there. Eric thanks Rafe for letting him know and runs off. Nicole says this is great news as maybe this is the cure that everyone has been hoping for. Rafe responds that maybe then he could stop finding her in Eric’s arms.

Kristen questions what Chloe did to poison the judge’s mind against her. Chloe says it wasn’t poisoning her mind, but her hands were tied since she couldn’t use any of Kristen’s previous crimes against her due to the pardon, so she just happened to have the video of Kristen trying to attack her with a letter opener since she hadn’t been pardoned for that and then the judge saw what she’s capable of. Kristen asks how Brady will feel when he finds out that Chloe did this to her. Chloe responds that she told Brady everything and he was thrilled and loved her for it. Chloe calls it really stupid for Kristen to come after her like that since Brady was prepared for shared custody with her but she had to have it all and overplayed her hand. Chloe tells Kristen that now Brady has Rachel all to himself. Kristen declares that will blow up in his face because Rachel hates Chloe for what she did and she’s furious with Brady for being with her so it won’t be long before she hates him and then she asks how Brady will feel about Chloe then. Kristen suggests Chloe save them a lot of heartache and give Brady his freedom. Chloe responds that she tried that earlier today actually, but Brady wouldn’t hear it. Kristen feels Brady might just change his mind.

Brady joins Rex in the waiting room. Rex informs him that they compared the vial to what Roman got 25 years ago and it is a close match. Brady asks what they are waiting for then.

Eric goes to the hospital and tells Jada that he just heard from Rafe about the vial and that she brought it here. Jada confirms that Rex is at the lab now having it analyzed. Eric thanks Jada for getting it there so quickly. Jada just wants it to work and find out where the anonymous tip came from but notes that it’s not a priority. Eric asks if Jada has a few minute since he has a big favor to ask. Jada says anything for him. Eric says he doesn’t want to leave Marlena, but Roman has no idea about the vial, so if they decide to use it, they may have to get Kate here pretty quickly. Jada agrees to leave now. Eric asks her to tell Roman that he will call as soon as he knows anything. Eric hugs Jada and thanks her so much as Jada then exits the hospital.

Nicole questions what Rafe just said. Rafe responds that it seems like every time he turns around, she and Eric are holding each other and it’s getting kind of old. Rafe brings up he and Jada catching them in a clinch last night. Nicole argues that they explained that Eric had just told her about Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. Nicole thought Rafe understood that she and Eric are friends. Rafe argues that friends can show sympathy with a pat on the back. Nicole complains that Eric just told her that Marlena was dying and that Eric is always there for everyone else, so right now he needs someone to help him through this. Rafe complains that there’s always an explanation or an excuse. Nicole questions needing an excuse to be there for someone she cares about or a reason to be compassionate towards someone who is suffering. Rafe argues that it’s not just someone, but her ex-husband. Rafe adds that he’s getting a little tired of seeing her give Eric affection. Rafe reminds Nicole that he is her husband and asks if she’s forgotten about that. Nicole assures that she hasn’t and reminds him that getting married was her idea. Rafe points out that they were already planning a wedding where their friends and family could join them, but for reasons he still doesn’t understand, she was suddenly in a hurry to get it done. Nicole talks about thinking putting it off would be too much pressure. Rafe argues that Nicole never said anything about pressure and she just wanted to get it over with. Nicole says she was thinking about him as he was knee deep in the investigation of Abigail’s murder, so she had no idea when he’d have time for a wedding. Rafe asks if that’s what it was or if it was because she had just spent the day with Eric at Abe and Paulina’s wedding since it was right after that, she was in such a hurry to get it done. Nicole says seeing their wedding made her realize she wanted something simpler which Rafe mocks. Nicole apologizes. Rafe brings up Nicole and Eric being at Abe and Paulina’s wedding with romance in the air. Rafe wonders if Nicole thought she let Eric go too easily and that maybe they made a mistake.

Kristen questions Chloe trying to convince her that Brady can’t live without her. Chloe says she’s just telling her what happened earlier today. Chloe adds that she felt bad about the Rachel situation so she decided to take matters in to her own hands since Brady has a lot on his mind with Marlena possibly dying and Rachel acting like she hates him, but Brady still wouldn’t hear about them breaking up because he said he couldn’t let Kristen win. Kristen thinks back to making the deal with Brad for the serum. Kristen then tells Chloe that maybe Brady just didn’t want her to be the one to end things and maybe he wanted to do it himself.

Rex, Eric, and Brady enter Marlena’s hospital room. Rex announces that the serum’s chemical makeup is very similar to what cured Roman so he’s 95% sure it’s real, so his gut is saying to give them the serum. John continues to worry about what if the serum is toxic. Marlena says to just give her the drug and see what happens.

Chloe calls Kristen truly deluded. Kristen wouldn’t be surprised if Brady finally realizes that their relationship is too costly and an impossible situation. Chloe argues that Kristen makes it that way and says she shouldn’t have even come her. Chloe adds that Kristen doesn’t care about anyone but herself and has no decency. Kristen responds that she knows how serious Marlena’s situation is. Kristen questions why Chloe is here when Marlena is on her deathbed and she could die without a miracle. Kristen asks if Chloe doesn’t want to be there for the man she loves. Chloe then storms out. Kristen laughs, remarking that Chloe’s bad day is just beginning.

John tells Marlena that no one is asking her to be a guinea pig. Marlena responds that she knows and she’s volunteering. Marlena states that she’s conscious and her mind is stable but she doesn’t know how long that will last. Marlena suggests giving her the serum and if it improves her situation, they give it to Kate and Kayla. Marlena thinks they should do this right away. Rex turns to John, who says it’s not his decision. John asks Rex to please do what Marlena wants. Rex apologizes and says he’ll have to ask everyone to leave the room. Marlena stops Eric and says if this doesn’t go well, she’d like to receive last rites. Eric agrees to take care of her. Eric, Brady, Belle, and Shawn then exit while Marlena asks John to stay which Rex allows. John calls Marlena the one great love of his life.

Nicole questions Rafe thinking that she realized she gave up on Eric too easily, so her reaction was to marry Rafe as fast as they can. Nicole argues that it doesn’t make any sense. Rafe says it does to him, because she thought if she hurried up and married him, then she would stop pining for Eric. Nicole insists that she loves Rafe. Nicole says she didn’t want to fall in love with him because he was with Ava, so she tried to stop but she couldn’t. Nicole argues that if she was pining for anyone, it was Rafe. Rafe asks Nicole to just tell him the truth. Nicole responds that the truth is that she does not regret marrying him. Nicole calls him her husband and says she loves him. Rafe questions why she doesn’t ever come to him then or ask how he felt before she hired Eric to see if it would bother him. Nicole calls that unfair. Rafe brings up how Nicole and Eric fell in love when he was a photographer and she was the model. Rafe kind of felt like she wanted to recreate that situation. Nicole argues that Eric needed a job, so she gave him one and she’s his boss, not his model so it’s a totally different dynamic. Rafe questions if it really is. Nicole asks what Rafe would have said if she did come to him about hiring Eric. Rafe responds that he would’ve told her it’s a terrible idea because there’s no way in Hell that he wants Eric working with his wife right as Jada starts to walk up. Jada backs up and hides around the corner as Nicole questions Rafe trying to tell her who she can and can’t hire, asking when he became a caveman. Rafe argues that this isn’t a normal hiring situation, it’s Eric. Rafe questions Nicole thinking it’s a good idea for them to be working so closely together. Nicole asks if he doesn’t trust her then. Rafe admits that in this situation, he doesn’t. Rafe starts to walk away but Nicole argues that he doesn’t get to drop this bomb and walk away. Nicole declares that they are going to talk about this. Rafe questions what there is to say and then walks away. Jada watches on as Nicole calls out to Rafe.

Brady stands in the hospital and says to himself that Kristen better not be playing games with him. Chloe arrives and hugs Brady, saying she came to see how Marlena is doing. Brady tells her that there’s been a major development as a vial of serum was left at the police station with a note, saying it’s a cure for Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. Chloe asks if he thinks it’s real. Brady responds that Rex thinks it’s promising and he thinks Marlena is taking it now. Brady says they will have to wait and see how she reacts to determine if it’s real or not. Chloe asks if they know where the serum came from. Brady then gets a phone call and claims it’s from Paul to check on Marlena. Brady steps away to answer and it’s Kristen. Brady asks what the hell she wants. Kristen says she was just checking in and wanted to let him know that the cure is being delivered to the police station. Brady confirms that Rex is giving it to Marlena right now. Kristen responds that Marlena should be feeling better real soon. Brady hopes she’s right. Kristen reminds Brady that he will have to hold up his end of the bargain and get ready to give Chloe the bad news.

Rex asks Marlena if she’s sure she still wants to receive this injection. Marlena responds that her mind is made up so Rex loads up the needle with the serum.
