Sally: No, it is nothing like that. I just — I learned something earlier. Adam was in here tonight, and I heard him talking with Sharon. I overheard him telling her what I had suspected all along. He admitted that the only reason he broke up with me was because he felt like it was best for me. He didn’t admit it to my face, but it’s a real motive behind him breaking things off.

Nick: Do you think we don’t know that already? And who cares? It shouldn’t change anything.

Sally: Yeah, but it does, because I’m not okay with him making that sacrifice.

Nick: Well, Adam doesn’t care what you think, obviously. He made this decision without consulting you, and he’s lying to you, and he’s continuing to lie to you.

Sally: It was a terrible, stupid mistake on Adam’s part, but I know he believes he’s doing the right thing.

Nick: You’re just making excuses for him, just like Sharon did and Chelsea and just like Victoria did for Ashland.

Sally: That is not what I’m doing.

Nick: Sally, what is wrong with you? You’ve got this incredible opportunity. It is right in front of your face. You just have to grab it. And you’re willing to throw it all away for this guy who stomped on your heart with both feet. Is this all the self-respect you have?

Sally: Why are you being so harsh? I bet this has more to do with what your sister just went through than it does with me. So please don’t put all your baggage on me. You don’t know me that well

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

Chloe: So, was I right about Adam earlier? Is he angry with you for staying on at Newman when he decided to quit? Is that why he broke up with you?

Sally: [Sighs] You have it backwards, Chloe. Adam broke up with me so that I can stay here. He knew that Victoria would never agree to keep me on as long as we were still together, that she could never trust me to somehow not be conspiring with him. So, he came up with some bogus story about not wanting to be with me because Victor wouldn’t approve.

Chloe: Oh, my god. That is just so hurtful.

Sally: I knew that that’s not how he really felt, which is exactly what you saw us arguing about earlier. And then tonight, I confirmed it. I overheard him admitting to Sharon that he only cut me loose so that our relationship wouldn’t get in the way of my job here at Newman Media.

Chloe: And let me guess, you confronted him right away.

Sally: Of course. I told him that this was a huge mistake and that he would regret it for the rest of his life, once I had moved on with someone else.

Chloe: Good for you.

Sally: But then I also

[Sighs] Told him that I didn’t want to get the job this way and that I would

[Inhaling deeply] Be turning in my resignation first thing in the morning.

Chloe: Okay. I — I’m not going to freak out right away, because I’m sure you just said that in the heat of the moment, and by now you’ve calmed down and realize that quitting would just be crazy right!

Kyle: Mm. And I wanted us to have a little alone time so I can thank you for being such a great stepmom and wife.

Summer: And now business partner.

Kyle: Oh! How could I forget? I think we should toast to that.

Summer: I think so, too. Well, well, well, would you look at that? My brother and your…

Kyle: Niece.

Summer: Right. Would you mind if we went over there? I know that it’s our date night, but I haven’t caught up with Noah in forever.

Kyle: I think you just want to spy on the new romance.

Summer: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Kyle: Don’t get me wrong, I’m on board. I haven’t had a chance to talk to Allie, which is kind of embarrassing because we live in the same house, so let’s do it

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

Noah: What, you got a problem with my plan already?

Summer: Yeah. A grandpa-shaped problem. I mean, he kind of likes having the top of the tower in the Newman building. He uses it a lot. He uses it as sort of like a second office. I’m not sure he’s gonna go for turning it into a nightclub with a glam vibe.

Kyle: [Chuckles] I don’t think Victor knows what glam vibe is.

Noah: I beg to differ, my friend. Have you seen pictures of him in the ’70s? Dude was a stud.

Kyle: I have.

Summer: True.

Kyle: And I stand corrected. But he was less of a Bowie and more of a Burt Reynolds.

Noah: Yeah.

Allie: Who’s Burt Reynolds?

Noah: Are you ser– okay. We have a movie marathon in our future.

Adam: What are you doing here?

Sally: I’m like one of those ghosts in that Dickens novel. I’m giving you a second chance. A do-over, so this time you can make the right choice. And we can reclaim our future.

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

Sally: [Scoffs] You didn’t think I was just going to give up, did you? I thought we knew each other better than that.

Adam: No, I assumed that you had too much self-respect to keep throwing yourself at someone who just rejected you. So apparently, I don’t know you that well.

Sally: I’m here because i have a ton of self-confidence, enough to endure whatever it is that you’re gonna dish out until you finally drop your defenses.

Recap written by Christine

Chelsea went to Lily’s office to see Billy and ask if they could go over some podcast ideas. He was working on the podcast now, and he was using Lily’s office since she was still in LA. Chelsea said he had a different energy in this room – more corporate. They exchanged banter, and she smiled. She asked when they were going to get the boys together for a playdate. He wouldn’t commit to a concrete plan, but she wouldn’t let it go. He said he had to talk with Johnny’s mother, once she had the bandwidth for the conversation. Chelsea said it was just a play date – the boys knew each other. He noted that their sons hadn’t spent time together in awhile. She didn’t see why that mattered, since Johnny and Connor got along great. Billy didn’t understand why Chelsea was being pushy about this. Chelsea felt like Billy was never going to change his stance about her when it came to Johnny.

Billy said that he wasn’t trying prevent Chelsea from seeing Johnny. He explained that his kids were having a to deal with Ashland’s death. She thought that this was all the more reason that Johnny should play with Connor. He asked her to accept it wasn’t the right time, and she said no. A few weeks ago she would’ve respected his response, because she’d been trying to make everyone else happy and she was just glad people were putting up with her, but now she was putting her wants first. He said he was on her side, and he reminded her that he brought her into the podcast. Chelsea was near tears. Billy said he and Victoria had raised Johnny the way Chelsea had said she wanted him to be raised. She said Johnny was her biological son, and she never got to see him or spend time with him. Billy reminded Chelsea that she was the one who made that choice not to be involved in Johnny’s life, and this agreement had worked for many years. He asked her what changed.

Chelsea said she had a different outlook on life since her recovery from what her mother called a huge emotional breakdown. She said she’d always been an outsider, and everyone viewed her with suspicion because of her past. She didn’t blame people for that, and she used to revel in it. She lost her sense of self worth after she poisoned Rey. When she came home, she begged Adam to take her back. “What was I thinking?,” she asked. He was sure she was glad Adam didn’t take her back. She said that it was hard to get some people out of your system, like Victoria and Billy. Chelsea said when she was in a dark place, Rey was the only one who reached out to her, and when he died, she felt like the rug was ripped out from under her, and she held onto things that made her feel safe, like her partnership with Chloe. It didn’t make her happy, though. She had an epiphany that she deserved to be happy, and working with Billy was a big part of that. She felt confident now. For so long, she felt like she didn’t connect with anyone, and now there were people on the internet who said what she said resonated with her. She realized she wanted to be open to letting other people into her life, and she thought Johnny was a big part of that. He wasn’t sure why she felt that way.

Chelsea said Johnny already knew Victoria wasn’t his biological mother. Would it be so bad if Johnny learned that Chelsea was his biological mother, she asked. Billy brought up the agreement again. Chelsea felt Victoria and Billy had done an incredible job with Johnny, but Chelsea wasn’t the same person she was when she signed that agreement years ago. She thought kids deserved to know the truth about their birth. She believed Johnny and Connor deserved to get to know each other and bond. Billy said he’d talk with Victoria. Chelsea was ready to discuss the podcast now, but Billy didn’t want to work on an empty stomach, so he said he’d take Chelsea to lunch.

Elena and Nate had a meal at Society. She thought it was weird that it was taking so long to get her out of her contract with Newman. He knew she was frustrated, but Imani was working on it. She said she wasn’t frustrated, it was just taking forever. Nate saw Sally walk in, and he called her over. Nate explained that they wanted to negotiate Elena’s departure from AskMDNow. He was sorry it had taken so long to reschedule the meeting, but the heads of their legal team had a family emergency. Sally didn’t know anything about a meeting. Nate said Imani arranged a dinner for the three of them, and Sally canceled at the last minute.

Sally looked through her planner, and then she told Nate there was never a meeting with her, him and Imani on the books. Nate figured there must’ve been a scheduling mix up. Elena congratulated Sally at taking the reins at Newman Media. Nate knew from experience that career changes were tough, but rewarding. He told her that Elena wanted to work at Chancellor Winters. Elena was appreciative of her time at Newman Media. Sally said AskMDNow was doing very well, so she could see why Chancellor Winters wanted to poach Elena. Nate said it wasn’t poaching, but Sally disagreed. She didn’t see why she’d let Chancellor Winters lure away Newman Media’s talent.

Elena had compiled a list of replacement doctors. Sally asked if Elena was unhappy at Newman Media. Elena enjoyed her time there. Nate said that, as the original face of AskMDNow, he was impressed on how Elena stepped into the format seamlessly, and he was sure any of the replacements on the list could do the same. Sally said there was a drop off in the audience when Nate left, and Elena had an intangible quality that not everyone had. Nate wrote a figure on a paper and showed it to Sally. A financial incentive to release Elena. Sally looked at the paper and seemed shocked by the number. She took the offer and said she’d be sad to see Elena go. Nate and Elena thanked Sally. Sally hoped this worked out for Elena, because she was a real talent.

Elena and Nate went to Chancellor Winters. He was surprised she wasn’t more happy about getting out of her contract. She said she was pleased. It was clear something was bothering her, and he asked what he missed. She couldn’t believe she had to explain this to him. She said the reason Sally couldn’t remember canceling the meeting with Nate and Imani was because she was never invited. Imani had planned an intimate night for herself and Nate.

Nate didn’t think there was anything nefarious going on. Meetings got canceled all the time. He said Elena had it in for Imani, and it was clouding her mind. She contended that she had a very clear view of this situation. She wondered if the reason he didn’t see what Imani was doing was because he didn’t want to. He asked if she was accusing him of being attracted to Imani. She wasn’t saying it was sexual, but she was sure Imani’s fawning was an ego boost. She said he just told her that Imani had been fueling his frustrations with Devon. She wondered if Imani was pushing Nate to be more aggressive. Nate said he didn’t need his ego boosted. He said Imani noticed that Devon tried to hold him back sometimes – the same thing that happened with Imani and Amanda. He said it was nice to have someone at work who supported him. “Oh, as opposed to your girlfriend who couldn’t comprehend? What because I’m not an executive?,” she said. He told her she’d been there for him every step of the way. Annoyed, she said he didn’t think she understood what was really going on, at least not the way Imani did.

Nate felt like Elena took Devon’s side whenever Nate talked to her about the dynamic. He noted that she kept saying Devon had more business experience. She didn’t know why the truth offended him. He said it felt dismissive. She said that you needed experience in an ER, so and she didn’t see why it would be different at business. He said he had a business education, and he ran a hospital department. She felt like he was saying he wasn’t supporting him enough or not the same way Imani was. She wasn’t sure of Imani’s motives, but Imani was trying to be his champion. He thought she was blowing it out of proportion. She respected him, so she was trying to tell him the truth. She thought Imani was telling Nate everything that he wanted to hear – a beautiful woman stroking his ego, and what could be more enticing than that?

Chelsea and Billy arrived at Society, and she made her way to Sally, who was sitting at the bar. Feigning sympathy, Chelsea said she felt so bad about the way Adam just dumped Sally. Chelsea thought Sally seemed to be doing better than she was the other day, when she’d chased after Adam. “Not particularly dignified,” Chelsea said. Sally asked how many times Chelsea and Adam broke up – five or six? Sally added that Chelsea and Adam had a kid, and they still couldn’t make it work, which was such a shame. Chelsea excused herself and went back to Billy.

Chelsea came up with the idea to do a true crime episode. She said the Grinning Soul hit a goldmine when they uncovered the Ashland Locke secret. He said he really respected the host of The Grinning Soul. Narrowing her eyes, Chelsea said she was sure the host respected Billy too. Billy said the host was impressed with Chelsea. Chelsea kept thinking about the scams she and Anita pulled. He thought that the audience would eat that up. She said he had an entirely different energy when he talked about this stuff, and it looked good on him. He said he loved riffing on topics and observing people. It was nice to be out of the corporate arena, he said. She asked why he kept going back to the corporate world.

Chelsea said she’d known Billy a long time, and she’d seen the scenario play out time and time again with his family. She said he thought he needed to act a certain way and live up to certain expectations, and he did for a time until the real Billy came out. She said he didn’t fit into the Abbott box, and he rebelled. He said he was in a really good place right now, and he thought he was past the need to rebel. She asked if he felt fulfilled being part of Chancellor Winters. He said it was difficult to answer honestly. She thought that meant the answer was no.

Kyle brought Summer to Dive Bar, and she noticed he was being mysterious about something. She wondered if it was about their moms. He said he had a great idea for Marchetti that had nothing to do with their mothers’ feud and it could help people they cared about. Kyle told Summer about Tessa having to put her career on hold. He said Tessa was going to tough it out and not tell people who frightened she was. Summer said that was how she’d handle it too. Kyle laughed and said he loved Summer, but she wasn’t the tough stoic type. He told her about Mariah’s idea to make Tessa a model at Marchetti’s print campaign. He said Tessa had the look they wanted, and her fans were Marchetti’s demographic. Summer liked the idea, but she was hesitant about Mariah’s involvement, and that always turned into a whole thing. He said Mariah would be on her best behavior. He thought Mariah had changed, and when she gave Summer a hard time now, there was no animosity to it. Summer countered that Mariah called her Snowflake for years. Kyle said Mariah was genuinely happy Summer was at the wedding. He said Mariah had her hands full at Jabot, so she didn’t have time to play showbiz wife to Tessa.

At Crimson Lights, Mariah brought Tessa tea the way she liked it. Mariah suggested they have a picnic by the lake to cheer her up. Tessa, who still wasn’t allowed to talk after her vocal cord surgery, wrote she was fine, on her white board, all caps. Mariah said she and Tessa’s connection was like a sixth sense, or even a seventh sense. She said when she was abducted by that maniac, Stitch, Tessa could tell she was scared. Mariah said it was pointless for Tessa to try and keep things from her, because she could feel what Tessa felt. Mariah wanted to help Tessa carry what she was feeling. Tessa admitted that not being able to do what she loved was making her crazy. Mariah suggested the picnic again. Tessa still didn’t think that would help. Mariah was sorry – sometimes she felt like she was making things worse or getting in the way. Tessa used text to voice on her phone to say that Mariah was wonderful. Mariah said they should find another outlet for Tessa’s creative energy.

Summer and Kyle walked into Crimson Lights. Mariah was sheepish because she was supposed to be at work. Summer and Kyle said they were here to see Tessa. Kyle asked Tessa to be the new face of Marchetti. Mariah acted shocked. Summer said Tessa looked elegant, sophisticated and fun. They liked the photo of Tessa on the album. Tessa was flattered by the offer, but it was a reminder of what she might be losing.

Mariah said that Tessa wasn’t going to lose anything, because she’d be able to sing again. They all encouraged Tessa to take the job. Mariah said Tessa would be expanding her fanbase for when things got back to normal. Tessa thanked them for the offer and apologized for the pity party. Tessa said it might be perfect, especially now. Mariah noted that they all thought Tessa would be an amazing model. Summer marveled at her and Mariah agreeing on something. Summer and Kyle left.

Tessa saw Mariah and Kyle conspiring yesterday, and she knew this was Mariah’s idea. Mariah continued to deny it. Tessa wrote on the whiteboard about their seventh sense. Mariah admitted it was her idea. She said selfishly, she wanted to see her beautiful wife’s face in magazines and on billboards. Tessa was too in love to be mad at Mariah. They kissed.

Sally went back to work and texted Adam that she’d tell him what she knew about Ashland if he told her the real reason he broke up with her.

Chance: Thank you. Well, good morning, victoria.

Victoria: Hello, chance. How are you?

Chance: Not too bad. How about yourself?

Victoria: Dragging a little. It was a late night with the kids. None of us could get any sleep.

Chance: Yeah, well, I’m sorry. I’m sure they’re feeling the loss of ashland.

Victoria: They’re coping, considering the circumstances.

Chance: Well, it’s good they have so much support. You know, when you’re investigating a death, sometimes you forget how many people it affects.

Victoria: Yes, that’s very true. Like ashland, who was not well-liked. To be honest, he left behind a lot of grief and pain. Your investigation isn’t really helping matters.

Chance: You know I’m just doing my job, right? I know it might seem heartless, but somebody’s gotta do it.

Victoria: I understand. I can handle your questions. I’m not intimidated by you.

Chance: Well, good, ’cause that’s not my intention. You know, honestly, nothing would make me feel better than to just close the book on this thing and move on.

Victoria: Well, if you really feel that way, then why don’t you put a stop to this investigation right now?

Abby: Thank you.

Adam: Hello, abby.

Abby: [ Chuckles ] Adam, hi. How are you?

Adam: I’m good. It’s been a minute, hasn’t it?

Abby: Well, you were here yesterday, weren’t you?

Adam: Oh, I — I come in all the time. I just mean, it’s been a while since you and i have had a chance to talk.

Abby: Well, I guess I’m shocked that you’re even supporting my restaurant, since you are cutting ties with anything newman these days.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, I can’t quit society. First of all, the food is delicious, and I think I would be punishing myself if I didn’t come here. Where else would I get the little crab-puff appetizers?

Abby: Nowhere in this town.

Adam: And secondly, my issues with our father and how he does business don’t have anything to do with you and me. There’s no reason we can’t have a conversation. Unless you disagree.

Abby: No, that seems fair. Your conflict with our father has nothing to do with me. And we have been civil. So, uh, sure. You know, why don’t I send you some crab puffs, on the house?

Adam: Oh, that is so nice. Thank you.

Abby: Will you be dining alone, or is someone joining you?

Adam: Um, dining solo. But actually, if you have a moment, I would love to talk to you about something.

Abby: Mm. Yep. There it is. You are being so pleasant, but you had an agenda the whole time, didn’t you?

Adam: You caught me.

Abby: Yeah. I knew you were buttering me up for something more than just the crab puffs, so, please, what would you like to talk about?

Adam: The death of ashland locke.

Sally: I understand that. Yes, chloe filled me in. But we need that data, jacob. I am meeting with three big advertisers next week, and i need to inform them who our audience is. If they like what they hear, they give us more money, which, in turn, I can pay you to do your job. If they don’t like what they hear, what happens? That’s right. So it is imperative that I get that data before the weekend. Yeah, I know you can do it. Just do it twice as fast. Oh. I didn’t hear you come in.

Victor: You and I have not spoken since you became C.E.O. Of newman media. I think we should talk.

Chance: Look, you and I both know it’s not that easy. I-I can’t just drop an investigation like this.

Victoria: You know, yesterday, you were talking about seeking the real truth and being devoted to the ideals of justice. But what exactly does that mean in this case?

Chance: Well, I’d love to hear your perspective on that.

Victoria: You have this notion that my father orchestrated this fake car accident. Why he would do that, I have no idea. You’ve gathered all of this information. You’ve talked to everyone about that night. You’ve done all of this work to support your theory, but you have absolutely no evidence to back it up. So I have to wonder, where is this headed?

Chance: You know I can’t tell you that.

Victoria: But if you really thought that ashland was dead before he was put into that car, are you going after my father for obstruction, or are you disputing nick’s account that he hit ashland in self-defense? You wouldn’t really, really accuse nicholas of killing ashland in cold blood and then conspiring with my father to come up with some cover story.

Chance: I never accused them of that.

Victoria: No. No, but I can tell that’s where you’re headed. You can’t accept that ashland’s death was an accident no matter where it happened. So what is your endgame? You wouldn’t go so far as to charge nick with murder, would you? Hi, I’m karen.

Nick: What’s going on?

Victoria: Well, I was just asking chance about his investigation. I wanted to know if he was prepared to ask the D.A. To charge you with murder.

Chance: [ Scoffs ] I have to admit, I admire your bluntness.

Victoria: Well, I’m just trying to figure out where your head is at. I mean, you said that you were on our side… but now it seems like you’re determined to prove that some sort of crime was committed. So I would appreciate an answer to my question about my brother.

Nick: I’d like that, too.

Chance: Okay. Well, I believe that you two acted out of good faith when you called me. I also believe that you had no intent to harm ashland. Whatever happened, it was an accident.

Nick: Yes, it was.

Victoria: Then why isn’t this matter settles? Because the way you just explained it, the case is closed.

Chance: Because we still do not know what happened from the time ashland was lying on your floor to the moment we found him in that ravine.

Nick: We have told you all the information we know.

Chance: And I’m not gonna tell you my next steps ’cause they will be informed by the outcome of my investigation. But you two should know, the more brazenly defiant you are, the more certain I am that I am on the right track — that you know what happened and you’re covering up for your father.

Abby: What’d you order?

Adam: Uh, the huevos con chorizo, with the verde sauce.

Abby: Mmm. You won’t be disappointed.

Adam: I hope not. So, what do you know about ashland’s death?

Abby: Not much more than anyone else. I was shocked. Weren’t you?

Adam: Uh, yes and no. I mean, when he came back to town, I got the sense that something terrible could happen, but I didn’t expect the guy was gonna turn up dead.

Abby: Yeah, it was awful, but I’m not gonna shed a tear for that man. I just hope that victoria gets some closure soon.

Adam: Me too. I haven’t had a chance to talk to her yet. And I think that my condolences would be welcomed. I’m sure she’s grateful to have your support. Does she seem okay?

Abby: W-we just talked over the phone, but it’s been rough.

Adam: Rough for her. Not so rough for our father.

Abby: What does that mean?

Adam: Well, he doesn’t seem too broken up about what happened, does he?

Abby: How would you expect him to react? Ashland put our family through hell. What, you think dad should be mourning?

Adam: Good point.

Abby: I just hope to never hear the name ashland locke ever again.

Adam: Well, that’s gonna be pretty unlikely, given the fact that your husband is investigating his death. I mean, that has to put you in a difficult position.

Abby: Why would you say that?

Adam: Look, abby, we don’t have to tiptoe around it, okay? I talked to chance. I know that he has his doubts about the so-called car accident. Now, that raises some questions for me, and I get the sense that it does for you, too.

Sally: I was wondering when you’d stop by. I thought it would’ve been earlier.

Victor: I’ve been a bit preoccupied.

Sally: So I’ve heard. I know you wish this office was still adam’s, not mine.

Victor: I got to tell you, I’m a little disappointed that you weren’t able to convince adam to stay on board.

Sally: I was hoping for the same.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Sally: But adam made it very clear that this job was not a good fit for him right now, and he felt the same way about our relationship.

Victor: Hmm.

Sally: I’m grateful that nick and victoria decided to keep me on. And, you know, they gave me a chance. It really means a lot to me.

Victor: I’m sure it does.

Sally: I know you’re skeptical, but I am determined to prove that I deserve this opportunity they gave me.

Victor: Well, that is what i came to talk about, okay? Sleek

Victor: I want you to know that I’ve been very pleased with how you’ve handled the ashland locke story.

Sally: Well, there’s really not much of a story if you only read the police report.

Victor: But you know there are a few more details.

Sally: What sort of details?

Victor: [ Chuckles ] I think, you know.

Sally: As I mentioned to nick, I do not feel compelled to publish anything about ashland showing up to victoria’s house before the accident. After all, the story is still unfolding, and the gcpd hasn’t even commented on that aspect of the situation.

Victor: You’ve handled the story so far with great restraint, great discretion. And if I were you, I would follow those instincts.

Sally: I will do my best.

Victor: You know, there’s a great opportunity you have now, right? You know, it’s a good thing about business — you can build something. It’s not just about money and power.

Sally: Those things don’t hurt, though, right?

Victor: Of course they’re important. But I haven’t spent decades building this business just for the sake of money and power. I’ve also done it for the sake of building something that will last. A legacy.

Sally: It’s really inspiring.

Victor: You have some important decisions to make in the future. I hope that you will prove yourself and stay in this position.

Sally: Thank you. Was that a compliment or a warning?

Victor: Why don’t you get back to your work, all right? You have a nice day.

You, too.

Abby: How was your breakfast?

Adam: It was delicious, as always. That verde sauce is a religious experience.

Abby: I will be sure to pass along your compliments to the chef. Hey, uh, what exactly did chance tell you about ashland’s accident?

Adam: He was tight-lipped, of course. You know, it’s an ongoing investigation, but I heard enough. Just the fact he’s investigating says a lot. I know that he’s even brought kevin into it. So you’re not betraying anyone’s confidence by admitting there’s more to the story.

Abby: Maybe not, but… I really don’t know much.

Adam: Look, abby, if you’re worried that the nightmare of ashland locke isn’t over for the people that you love, so am I. I’m just trying to help.

Abby: Adam, I can see through you. I know that you’re fishing for information, and I won’t give it to you.

Adam: Won’t? Or can’t? Okay. From what I gather, victoria hasn’t told you anything. And since you answered my query about dad with a question, that leads me to believe that you haven’t talked to him. And on top of that, you didn’t have much to say even about the most superficial aspects of what chance is doing. Which leads me to conclude that no one is telling you anything. You’re just as much on the outside as I am.

Abby: Look, you’re just saying that because you want me to tell you something.

Adam: I’m not trying to start a fight, really. I’m just — I’m calling it like I see it. They’re keeping information from both of us, abby. You know, I think we should team up. We should pool our resources. And if one of us hear’s something, we share it with the other person. Deal?

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Adam: All right. Keep in touch.

Nick: Look, chance, we understand that you want the facts. Here’s what I can tell you for certain. Nobody wanted ashland to die. But he was not a good person. You know that. He started this entire chain of events when he went after victoria and was terrorizing her. And I was glad to be there to protect my sister. Abby’s sister. And you know what? I would do it again in a heartbeat. When vic and I heard that ashland was found in his car, we had no reason to believe that he didn’t just get up off the floor, walk out to his car, and drive away. His death was accidental. It is the tragic ending to a terrible story. What more do you need to hear to accept it?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Chance: Excuse me. It’s abby. Give me a second. Hey. What’s going on?

Abby: I know you’re busy, but do you have any time to meet with me? It’s important.

Chance: Yeah, yeah. I was about to head back to the station. I can come by now. Are you at society?

Abby: I could use some fresh air. Meet me at the park?

Chance: All right. I’ll be right there.

Abby: I’ll see you soon.

Chance: Okay. I apologize. I have to run.

Victoria: Do you have anything to add before you go?

Chance: I think we’ve all said more than enough.

I like to v ost it, v ost it

Nick: The situation is getting worse by the minute. I hate it. I have nightmares every night. I see ashland’s lifeless body. It’s haunting me. It’s like his ultimate revenge.

Victoria: I don’t think that all hope is lost. I think chance is more conflicted than he’s actually letting on. I think he wants to help us.

Nick: Where are you getting that read? I don’t see that at all.

Chance: He seemed very sympathetic to what we’re going through before you arrived. Look, he’s not happy about having to look into this. He doesn’t want to see any of us go to jail.

Nick: Well, I think you’re falling victim to wishful thinking.

Victoria: Look, chance is gonna do the right thing. It’s who he is. Everybody knows it.

Nick: By “right,” you mean what?

Victoria: He’ll side with the family. We’ve done nothing wrong.

Nick: You think dad thinks that, too?

Victoria: I think he will go right along with what my opinion is, which is when given the choice, chance will always put family first.

Nick: I’m not so sure. I think we should go out to the ranch and tell dad that we had a run-in with chance, just so he knows we’re keeping him in the loop.

Victoria: Okay. But before we go there, there’s something that you should know, so that you’ll be prepared.

Chance: Hey. Is everything okay?

Abby: I’m not sure.

Chance: What’s going on?

Abby: We need to talk about ashland’s car accident.

Chance: Oh, abby, you know i can’T.

Abby: No chance, please. Just let me get this out. I know that you are keeping something from me, and I get it. I know you’re not supposed to talk about ongoing investigations, but I need to know what’s going on. Nikki was acting so weird yesterday. Nick and victoria, they haven’t said a word, and my dad is pretty much unreachable. And oddly enough, the only member of the newman family that will have a real conversation with me is adam.

Chance: When did you talk to him?

Abby: Right before I called you. He thinks that there’s something going on.

Chance: Okay, listen. I will tell you everything. I promise. As soon as we close this case. I promise.

Abby: I don’t think I can wait that long. I have this sick feeling in my stomach. So, please, can you tell me something, anything that will make it go away?

Chance: I’m so sorry. I did not mean to upset you. I really didn’T. And I — I know how unfair this is for you. I didn’t want to burden you with everything while I was still piecing everything together, you know? But I’m at a crossroads now.

Abby: About what?

Chance: I’m gonna share some confidential information with you.

Abby: Okay. Yes, I promise I will keep it to myself.

Chance: But this affects your family. Especially your dad. I don’t think it’s gonna be easy for you to hear.

[ Knock on door ]

Sally: Come in.

Adam: Thanks for the invitation.

Sally: Wow. I’m getting all sorts of visitors today. What brings you into enemy territory? Have you reconsidered cutting ties with newman?

Adam: Oh. Absolutely not. I, um… I’m here on a fact-finding mission only.

Sally: What would you like to know?

Adam: Well, I was hoping to find out what trouble my father has gotten the family into.

Sally: With regard to…?

Adam: Ashland locke. Of course.

Sally: I haven’t read or heard anything about victor being involved with the accident.

Adam: Oh. Come on, sally.

Sally: I think you’re jumping to conclusions. Probably in an attempt to paint your father in the worst possible light, which I find a little presumptuous of you to ask me to help you with that.

Adam: What, are you — are you on his side now because he’s signing your checks?

Sally: There are no sides. There’s just the truth.

Adam: Wow. That’s — that’s some world-class integrity. But, look, you don’t have to put on a show for me. You already admitted that you have insider information about the crash from nick. So would you like to share that with me now?

Sally: I already turned down that request. Did you forget?

Adam: No, but I was hoping that you might change your mind.

Sally: Not a chance. But I’m really glad that you put me in a position to tell you that you’re being pathetic for trying again.

Adam: Look… I hurt you, obviously. But our relationship had run its course, and our breakup had a added side benefit. You got to keep your job. So if you look at it that way, you should be grateful that I ended things.

Sally: But I told you that I didn’t want the job if that’s how I needed to get it.

Adam: Yeah. And yet you are still here. Look, surely we can come up with some sort of arrangement. A payment in exchange for your intel.

Sally: I have plenty of money now that I’m the C.E.O.

Adam: Maybe, uh… some kind of favor? Little quid pro quo?

Sally: Now you’ve got my attention.

Adam: Do you have something in mind?

Sally: I will tell you what you want to know about the ashland locke story if you finally admit that the sole reason you broke up with me was to get me this job. And that you still love me. Better skin from your body wash?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Come on, sally, this is just — it’s ludicrous. Well, I mean, why don’t you just slip me a note that says, “do you like me? Check yes or no,” written on it, okay?

Sally: Janelle, get me some paper with some little hearts printed on it and a pen with pink ink. I have a note to write.

Adam: You know, you don’t have a receptionist out there, right?

Sally: Well, if I did, her name would be janelle, and she would bring me office supplies. That was cute and funny. And you thought it was charming.

Chloe: I thought we got rid of you.

Adam: Chloe. Always a pleasure.

Chloe: You don’t work here anymore.

Sally: It’s okay, chloe. This is important.

Chloe: Okay. Well, no matter how important it is, it can wait. I have something more urgent.

Sally: Okay. We have to figure this out.

Adam: Actually, it’s — it’s okay. Um, we can finish this later. I’ll be in, uh — in touch.

Sally: What the hell was that?

Chloe: Yeah, I was gonna ask you the same thing. I can read a room. I recognize that look in your eyes. There was hope. A longing. It was disgusting.

Sally: I’m not gonna apologize for having feelings.

Chloe: We just talked about how adam didn’t deserve any of your emotional bandwidth. What happened to the idea of leaving the past in the past, of letting the world know what we’re capable of and making a name for ourselves? Why would you sacrifice a drop of that success for another chance with adam?

Abby: So you think that nick killed ashland?

Chance: Not on purpose. Self-defense.

Abby: And that my dad staged a car accident to cover it up?

Chance: Mm-hmm. No, I don’t think nick and victoria had any part of that. Victor acted on his own to protect them.

Abby: Oh, my god. They called you that night.

Chance: I think they were trying to do the right thing. But now I think they found out what victor did. It’s their turn to protect him.

Abby: Do you have any proof?

Chance: Right now, it’s just a theory, but the circumstantial evidence I have, it backs it up.

Abby: This is unbelievable.

Chance: Is it? I mean, don’t think this is something your dad would do?

Abby: Okay, yes, it does sound like a move right out of his playbook. But you just said you don’t have anything concrete.

Chance: Yes. If I dig hard enough, abby, I am certain I can find something.

Abby: Then what will you do?

Chance: [ Breathes deeply ] You know, victoria asked me the same thing. She said I can just walk away right now, close the case. I mean, she stressed the fact that ashland’s death was an accident. But if I just — if I turn my cheek on what victor did… I mean, he committed a crime. Abby, where does that end?

Abby: Right there. If you let it.

Chance: Baby, you know, I take my job very seriously. I hold myself to a higher standard. You know that. I can’t just let a criminal walk away. But this isn’t just another case. This is your family. So now I desperately need to know what you’re thinking.

Nick: Dad?

Victor: Good. You’re both here.

Victoria: You sound like you were expecting us.

Victor: I have, indeed. I want to talk to both of you. This is a good time. There’s no one to overhear us.

Nick: What’s going on?

Victor: Had an interesting conversation with your mother last night. She told me about ashland locke’s body being removed from victoria’s home and put into a car and subsequently crashed into the ravine. Now, only about half a dozen people in the world knew about this. I certainly am not the one who wanted your mother to find out about it.

Trelegy for copd.

Nick: So, mom was pretty upset?

Victor: Yeah, because i didn’t tell her. But she understood why I did what I did. All right?

Nick: You wanted to keep us all in the dark?

Victor: Yes. To protect all of you. Your mother wouldn’t have known about any of this if victoria hadn’t told her.

Victoria: She already knew you were hiding something.

Victor: You shouldn’t have done it. As much as you, nicholas, shouldn’t have told your sister about it.

Nick: I cannot believe you think you could keep that information from victoria. She had a right to know.

Victoria: Just like mom does.

Victor: Listen to me carefully. You are now accessories to the crime because you have knowledge of it. So is your mother. Do you understand? You are now in danger.

Nick: Well, maybe you should have thought of that before you put this plan in motion. It was a big decision.

Victor: Don’t be wise-ass with me, okay? I did what I did because I had to, on the spur of the moment.

Nick: We should have been consulted. Instead, you acted alone.

Victor: Because I wanted to protect you. I always want to protect you. Instead of showing some appreciation, you attacked me.

Abby: Thank you for finally telling me what’s going on. And for asking my advice on what to do. But I think you already know what I’m gonna say.

Chance: I can’t be sure. That’s why we’re having this conversation.

Abby: Ashland was a deceitful, despicable bastard. He wreaked havoc on my sister, on my family, on this whole town. And if nick hadn’t stopped him, he might have killed victoria. And, no, I do not condone what my father did. But I understand it. He didn’t want nick to be punished for something that wasn’t his fault. We have all suffered enough because of ashland.

Chance: You want me to back off?

Abby: No. No, I-I — I can’t do that to you. I can’t do that to us. If I asked you to close this case, and then you did it, and then someday, down the road, you wake up and you regret that decision… you have a strong sense of what’s right and what’s wrong. And I know sometimes it’s hard to know which is which, but if you really look inside yourself… you’ll know, and you will know what to do, but… it has to be your call.

Chance: I love you so much. I love how honest and open we can be with each other.

Abby: So do I.

Chance: And you’re right. This is my decision.

Abby: Well, I have to get going. I have to take dominic to a mommy and me class.

Chance: Don’t keep him waiting.

Abby: I won’T. I love you.

Chance: I love you.

Adam: Chance.

Chance: Adam. Wow, man. Seems like you are everywhere today. Understand you talked to my wife.

Adam: We, uh, had an interesting chat.

Chance: I know what you’re doing. I’m not gonna answer any questions about locke.

Adam: All right. Well, that’s fine, because I wasn’t gonna ask you any. But I have an offer for you, one that I think you’ll find very interesting.

Sally: You’ve got it all wrong, chloe.

Chloe: I don’t think so. The way you and adam were looking at each other, something was up.

Sally: It was business. It was a negotiation.

Chloe: For what?

Sally: Information. Adam is looking for dirt on his family, and he knows I have the scoop from nick about what happened the night ashland died.

Chloe: So that’s what he wanted. What did you ask for in return?

Sally: Not much. I just wanted him to admit the real reason why he broke things off between us. It’s not what you think.

Chloe: I think you’re playing with fire.

Sally: I am in control. I’m not ignoring how he broke my heart or how he betrayed my trust.

Chloe: Good. That’s all you need to know. That he hurt you.

Sally: I want the truth from him. I want to know that I’m not crazy. We had something. That might not make sense to you, but it is what i would like from him.

Chloe: It makes some sense. You need real closure. And how could you trust your feelings in another relationship if you read the room so badly with him?

Sally: Exactly. And for the record, I was not looking to get back together with him.

Chloe: Good.

Sally: I was just looking to free myself of all of my self-doubt.

Chloe: That’s all terrific. But you’re willing to sell out nick’s confidence for it?

Sally: I don’t intend to hold up my end of the bargain. I’m totally gonna lie to adam once he comes clean with me. I was just gonna tell him that I don’t know anything about ashland and that it was all just a big tease.

Chloe: Oh, no. No.

Sally: What?

Chloe: I’m just glad I came when I did. So I could interrupt that transaction. You can’t do that to adam. He will be furious. And he will make it his life’s mission to make you regret it. Okay everyone,

Sally: I think you’re exaggerating. Adam would not react like that.

Chloe: You’re right. It’ll be worse.

Sally: After what he did to me, he has no right to be angry with me about playing him for the truth.

Chloe: Yeah, if he were a logical, rational person. But he’s not.

Sally: You have a history with him. You’re always gonna see him through a certain lens.

Chloe: A very clear lens from a very long distance.

Sally: He’s changed, chloe.

Chloe: He appears to have changed. But he’s done this before, and he always reverts back to who he is. You’ve heard the stories about his past, but unless you have really experienced him at his worst, then you will never truly grasp what he’s capable of. It’s just not worth the risk to find out how he really felt about you. So just forget that he stopped by. Forget this dangerous plan. Forget adam altogether.

Victoria: No one’s attacking you, dad.

Victor: You could’ve fooled me, sweetheart.

Victoria: We just want to make sure that we’re all on the same page moving forward.

Nick: Yeah. We had another run-in with chance. Dad, he’s not gonna let this go.

Victoria: I asked him to close the investigation, but he has this theory about what happened that night, and it’s actually pretty close to what actually happened.

Victor: I don’t give a damn about his theory. There’s no way he can substantiate that, okay? Ashland locke died in the ravine in his car. Period.

Nick: Okay. What should we do?

Victor: You do nothing. We present a united front from now on. If we do, we will come out of this investigation unscathed. Chance will move on. We move on. We put this chapter — this tragic chapter — finally behind us.

Chance: All right. Go ahead. What’s your offer?

Adam: Chance, I know you were looking into the events around locke’s death, but it’s not adding up, is it? Now, I would guess your suspicions about that night revolve around one person — victor. Now, I have questions about his involvement, too.

Chance: Get to the point.

Adam: Look, you’re in a tough spot. You have your wife and your in-laws on one side of the equation and your need to uncover the truth on the other side. I know how much that must be eating you up. I know how seriously you take your oath to serve justice.

Chance: I do.

Adam: Well, I don’t think you’re gonna get very far in your search for knowledge. My father is way too good at covering things up. You need someone on the inside.

Chance: And that’s you.

Adam: I know all his tricks. I can help you discover what happened that night. Chance, I’m telling you, you let me into this investigation, and maybe I can help you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

uncle sonny, I hate that I’m putting everyone through this again. But I asked for help to get out of spring ridge so that I could visit my mother’s grave. I — I can’t repay that favor by naming names. That’s your call, but you got to understand something — the da is not gonna appreciate a teenager who, you know, got through prison security. They’re gonna want answers, atonement. Right. Right. 30 days at pentonville. Great. Or longer. What, you’re saying that they’re gonna throw the book at me? I’m not saying that you’re re-serving your sentence for what you did to ava. I’m saying that this is about you busting through custody. That’s a whole other crime. So what are you gonna do? Are you gonna be the state’s sacrificial lamb? Or are you gonna sacrifice someone else? Okay, it’s now or never. Are you ready? Are you? Look, baby, we don’t have to do this if you’re having any doubts. Is there any other way to let the jury know that esme bought that phone from oz haggerty? No, there isn’T. Then let’s do this. One mango mule mocktail, ma’am. Thank you. Mm-hmm. Such perfect weather today. I hope it stays like this all summer. Let’s hope I can enjoy it for more than an hour a day. Is that a prison joke? Was it funny? Okay, this isn’t working, is it? Don’t get me wrong. I know I should not be spending every waking moment dreading this verdict. And I really appreciate you trying to distract me, but — but I’m failing miserably, aren’t I? Yeah. But don’t let me stop you from having a good… …time. Sorry! I thought I would be more fashionably late than this.

[ Chuckles ] Come on. I was treating spinelli to a pedicure. Oh, should I be jealous? Of me or spinelli? Uh, why would i be jealous of you? What’s there to be jealous of at all? Yes, spinelli and i have a child and a history and an eternally abiding friendship, but romantically, I’m with you. And I’m happy where I am. That’s nice to hear. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] This is where you return the compliment. You’ll do.

[ Gasps ] I’m just kidding. My goodness.

[ Chuckles ] Me and ms. Jones, we got a thing going on.

[ Gasps ] Wait till you see what I have on underneath this. Oh, lucy. Why wait? Let’s get out of here, hmm? Mmm. Come on. Mmph. Come on. Mnh. Oh. I love your spontaneity and all your enthusiasm, but I haven’t eaten. Could we just get a little bite to eat? I’m starving. About that — why don’t we forgo the wings, as finger-lickin’ as they may be, and feast on mofongo in the dominican republic? Or poutine in toronto? You can show me your unmentionables at 10,000 feet. Wow. What has gotten into you? I like it, but I have to admit, I’m a tad bit suspicious. Lucy, I have to leave town, and I want you to come with me. Make sure to check the badges of all medical personnel with access. Curtis. Portia. I was looking for you. Hey, jordan. Uh, did you, um, find out anything new about what we had talked about? Okay, you can stop now, curtis. I know why you’re both here, and I won’t allow it.

Why do you have to leave town? Well, it’s nothing, really. It’s just a pressing matter out of town that I could take care of from anywhere, and I thought my lovely lady might like to be with me wherever I am when I do the thing that I’d rather not do here.

[ Chuckles ] I’m being coerced. What? But — okay. By whom? By anna devane. Anna d– what? Are you in possession of some sort of state secrets or something? Come on. Listen, when I wrote my guide to port charles, I noted that, you know, anna really can’t be too judgy about those. I’m serious. She wants me to break attorney/client privilege. Oh, is that all? What do you mean, “is that all?” Well, that’s nothing. I have the perfect solution. Which is? You tell her no. Ta-da. Problem solved. Do you, of all people, not understand how coercion works? See also extortion, blackmail, putting the screws to. Yes, I know how coercion works. And if I’ve learned anything from being a “coercee,” it’s that literally the truth shall set you free. Not this time.

[ Sighs ] Okay. Whatever anna has on you can’t be that bad that you can’t just be a phoenix and rise from the wreckage above your life. I don’t want to rise from the wreckage. But that’s what wreckage is for. I don’t want anything to do with wreckage. Okay, fine. What is it that anna really has on you? It’s a little economic subterfuge concerning my ex-wives. All of them? Yes, all of them. And believe you me, one on one, they’re bad enough. As a group, they make medea look like betty rubble. Wow. I can see why you married them. Well, if anna rats me out, I will be raked over the coals, emotionally and financially. Okay, here’s what we’re going to do. You, sir, are not going to back down. You’re going to simply tell your ex-wives and anna that you are your own man — that you are noble and steadfast like a mountain, and you are not going to back down, ever. Now, which client does anna want dirt on? Valentin. I’ll help you pack. So, um, tell me, how is my self-proclaimed arch-nemesis? Smitten, apparently. Yeah, no kidding. You knew about britt? About britt — britt westbourne? No. No, I didn’t — no way. Really? Who did you think I was talking about? Well, I mean, from his behavior, I knew that spinelli had it bad for somebody, but, no, I never figured it was britt. Well, what do you mean? Well, I mean, britt’s great, but I’ve just never seen him look at her like that. Well, maybe you just don’t know him well enough to see it. Right. Uh, forget it. This is a waste of our valuable time together. And we are here to discuss a plan that will probably fail to get georgie to stop hating me. Georgie does not hate you. Okay, so the last time I talked to your daughter, she asked me, “do you know what happens to matter when it’s consumed by a black hole?” She is her father’s daughter. And I said, “no, I don’t know. Nobody knows.” And she said, “want to find out?” And also her mother’S. Help me. [ Chuckles ] I mean, kids love me, right? James loves me, bailey loves me. That sweet little leo, he goes out of his way to try and spend time with me. And I — with georgie, I just… I don’t get it. What did I do? Nothing. Nothing at all. She just needs to spend time with you. Which is why our impending weekend getaway is perfect, and you said you found a place, right? I did. “Family fun time.”

[ Clap hands ] It’s got a lazy river and — and a waterslide, and georgie’ll love that because she’s — she loves swimming, and it’s got the biggest ball pit on the east coast. I think james might like that. Yeah, yeah. I — I love this. Um, are you ready? Well, yeah. I mean, I think from a bacterial standpoint, the ball pit, we’ll have to sanitize. No, no, no, no. I-I wasn’t asking if you were ready for biological ball pit warfare. I, uh… I guess I’m asking if… you are ready for a family. You want to talk to this patient the moment he wakes up, but that hasn’t happened yet, and there’s no telling when or even if it will. I’ve assigned officer cabrera, and he will notify you the moment mr. Haggerty opens his eyes. And we really appreciate that, jordan, we do. Yeah. I mean, we know your inquiry was off the record. Um, we’re definitely not trying to get you in trouble. You know what? I-I have the discretion to assign manpower here at the hospital as I see fit, and, uh, since mr. Haggerty is believed to be the victim of a crime and the perpetrator has yet to be caught, I can more than justify extra security for him. Yeah. And — and, rory, I appreciate you being here, man, but I’d be more than happy to keep watch. And I can help. I-I-I can help monitor the patient. Oz haggerty may be able to exonerate trina. The person who drugged him may try again, so why don’t you want him protected? Who’s the hottie? You know him? I do. How, exactly? Joss. Dex. About yesterday… uh, forget about it. I’d like to. Will you? Uh, forget about what? There is only one person responsible for me escaping from spring ridge, and that’s me. Now I have to hope that, whether it’s 30 days or 365, the people who I care about will be there waiting for me when I get out, and either way, I’m gonna deal with it. Atta boy. And I appreciate the survival tips and the protection. Thank you. Anything within my means. No, I’m serious. It’s big of you, considering I called you out for intimidating esme.

[ Chuckling ] You gave quite a performance. No, I mean, it was like — I thought you were out of your mind for a second. Yeah, you’re not the only one. I know that there are people who I hurt and pushed away while I was trying to trap esme, and I have a lot of amends to make as a result, so… as far as we go, we’re good. I appreciate that. You’ve always stood by me. We’re family. We are. Which is why I’m hoping you’ll do one more thing for me.

It’s just that spending a few hours with my kids, that’s one thing. But playing family for an entire weekend, that’s a commitment. And I understand if you’re not ready to take that on yet. Maxie, look, family has always been a complicated concept for me. I know. But I know how important your family is to you, and I would love a chance to see if I fit into it somehow.

[ Cellphone ringing ] I — I gotta take this. B.R.B. Can I get you something to drink or are you ready to order? Um, you know what? I’m not sure and I don’t what my date wants, but — oh, we can ask him. What do you want to order? Uh, yeah, about that. I can’t stay. I… you think maybe you could give us a second? Okay. Is it a work thing? Uh, ish. That was my property manager in pautuck. There’s been an incident at one of the cabins, and I need to head up there. How bad is it that the property manager can’t handle it? I don’t know. That’s what I aim to find out. Okay. All right, then, we’ll take a rain check on lunch. Yeah, it’s not just lunch. I’ll probably be gone for a couple of days. Wait a second. Are you saying you’re canceling the weekend with my kids? Wait, wait, so y-you agree with me? We should just get out of port charles till this whole thing blows over. Well, you really can’t betray valentin. He will unleash holy hell. Are you kidding? Knowing valentin, he’d find a way to get me to represent him in a case against myself.

[ Scoffs ] Okay, well, what would happen if anna tells your ex-wives what she knows? What’s worse than holy hell? Ex-wives with really good lawyers? Okay. Okay. So tell me about this financial subterfuge. Is it like these offshore accounts somewhere? No, no, no, it’s nothing like that. It’s not — there’s no stash in the cayman islands, it’s just most of the money’s been spent taking care of my mother. I just felt that my earnings should benefit the only woman who’s ever really cared about me. Excuse me. Not the only woman. So you don’t hate me? No, I don’t hate you. Please. I — I, in fact, have done far worse. Far, far, far, far worse. You know, somewhere in the middle, that stopped making me feel better. Yeah, well, and it wasn’t for the benefit of a beloved, aging parent either. Alright, so we’re agreed. Whither shall we go, beach or mountains? Hey, anywhere with you would be absolutely divine, but I — I can’t come along. There’s too much to do with deception, and I’m afraid you’re going to be on your own, and you’ll have to wait to see my unmentionables. I wasn’t able to help trina, but maybe you can. What do you have in mind? If anyone can exonerate trina, it’s esme. Now, I took my best shot and I missed, but I know that you will do better. I’m not sure what you’re asking me. Nothing illegal. Look, my dad said that she took off. I’m just hoping that you can use your considerable resources to bring her back. That’s it. Ava mentioned esme. She was kind of vague. What I can do is I can go find esme and bring her back, but it seems to me that she’s long gone. Uncle sonny, trina’s jury could come back with a guilty verdict any time now. You may be her last chance. You’re facing a stint in maximum security, and your priority is trina? Yeah. She’s my friend. Whether she considers me one or not. Let me make you feel more comfortable. I am doing everything I can for trina. You are? Can you tell me what? You gotta focus on yourself.

[ Sighs ] And — and don’t forget… …head down, mouth shut.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ] Hi. I’m trina. Trina robinson. Oh, you’ve heard of me. Great. Only good things. Thanks. Clearly, you’re not a news junkie. [ Laughs ] But, uh, quick, tell me your name before joss blurts it out. I’m dex heller. It’s a pleasure to meet you, trina. Nice to meet you, too. Well, I just came by to say hi. I’ll let you get back to it. Well, he seems nice enough. I don’t know what he seems. So, how do you…?

[ Sighs ] He works for sonny. Ah. Well, in that case, why is he asking to forget about what happened yesterday? And what did happen yesterday? There’s something I think you should know. Of course we want mr. Haggerty protected. And who better to do that — than rory? I’m sorry, officer cabrera. Look, I’m really sorry that I’m a little bit…

[ Stammers ] I-I just — I really haven’t been sleeping that well. I — and the jury’s been deliberating, all that. Yeah, and it’s the uncertainty of everything —

is to ensure that mr. Haggerty can testify on the record. So I want to thank you, jordan. I really do. A-and you too, rory. Happy to help, dr. Robinson. Officer cabrera, I need to have a word with dr. Robinson and mr. Ashford. I’ll be right back. Um… commissioner, did we do something wrong? Not that I’m aware of. I wanted to speak to you privately because I tried to call esme in for questioning. Unfortunately, it seems she’s nowhere to be found. Esme skipped town? It’s hard to say, but I thought you two should know. Even if mr. Haggerty wakes up and points fingers at esme as the perp, it may prove challenging to bring her to justice. Okay. Let’s just focus on one problem at a time. Okay? If oz haggerty officially names another person of interest, I mean, that still looks good for trina. Yes. Assuming he wakes up. In the meantime [Sighs] Do something with yourself. Go somewhere else. At least leave the building and get some fresh air and some sunshine. Oz haggerty is in good hands. Officer cabrera will make sure that nobody gets past him.

Whatever this is, I’m really hopeful that it’ll be over and done and then I can get back here for our weekend plan. Okay. I’m glad to hear that. But if for some reason you get held up, I can always bring the kids to pautuck. No, you don’t need to do that. Or not. Is there something you don’t want me to see in pautuck, or do you not want pautuck to see me? No, I just don’t want — you don’t need to make that drive. It’s not that far. Okay, look, I don’t know how long whatever this is is going to take, but don’t waste your time. Okay, well, it’s true that my past experience in your town is somewhat checkered. I would really like to get to know the pautuck that you love. And I would love for us to do that some other time when — when I’m not distracted by other people’s problems. So what you’re saying is… that I want to be distracted by our problems. Maxie, yeah, I don’t — I don’t want to let you down. Okay. Well, the only way you could let me down is if you weren’t honest with me. So I need you to tell me, austin — what’s this spur-of-the-moment trip really about? I never thought I’d be disappointed to hear that esme skipped town. Where do you think she ran off to? Europe, maybe? It’s possible. It’s also possible that she’s still in town and not as friendless as we thought. Well, if she’s hiding, she’s not confessing. Um, well, you know what? Getting esme to confess was a long shot anyway. Let’s face it — esme’s disappearance doesn’t have a direct effect on the case. Right now, there’s only one thing that I can think of that’s going to make a damn bit of difference. Yeah. And he’s being guarded right now. But rory, he has to take a break eventually, though, right? Something like that? Yeah, and he’ll likely be replaced by another officer. Look, jordan is incredibly thorough, so that room is never going to go unguarded. Well, then maybe we could — we could — we could come up with some sort of distraction. Without tipping rory off? An outside distraction, then. We don’t need any other outside involvement. Well, there’s got to be some way that I can get around rory and into that room. Because if there isn’t, I don’t know what else I can do. Did, um… josslyn tell trina who you met with yesterday? I don’t think so. Otherwise, trina would have reacted, but there’s no telling whether joss’ll say something down the line. I tried to feel her out, but she shut me down. That’s josslyn. That’s why I figured you might want to handle it. Yeah, you figured right. I’ve run into dex a couple of times. Where? Around. Here’s a thought — you and rory. That’s rather a nice thought. Say more. What’s there to say? You two just hung out again. Say that. Tell me everything. Well, he brought me here to the pool after dark. Yes, I know. How? Wait, you helped him? Yes. Well, my mom may no longer be an owner, but the staff is still loyal to her and so is one of the other owners, so when I called, they were very receptive. I was wondering how rory pulled it off. Well, did you at least have a good time? We did. I think the best part was that… I didn’t have to second-guess everything that came out of his mouth, unlike spencer. Oh. Did you tell cam about spencer’s testimony? We talked about it. And did he think it was crazy that spencer tried to do a 180 and give me an alibi? Sonny: Hey, trina. It’s great to see you having a good afternoon. I just — I just wanted you to know that, uh…there are people who are pulling for you.

Told you, there’s an incidentin one of my cabins. What kind of incident? I-I don’t know. I mean, I don’t have all of the details. But when I get them, I’ll bore you with every last one. Hm. Maxie. Trust me, leaving is the last thing I want to do. Oh, hello, hello, hello, hello. Hi. Hi. Hey, goodbye, goodbye. Goodbye, goodbye. Um, I can’t stay. I’m really sorry. But you two have fun, okay? And I’ll call you. Okay. Goodbye. Hm. Where goeth the good doctor? Pautuck. What? Ew. Why? I have no idea. Okay, how long is he gone for? A couple of days, or so he says. Hmm. Alrighty, then. I think I sense a bit of annoyance, which I can empathize with, because I just said a rather abrupt farewell for now to martin. What? Did you guys break up? No, no, no, no, no. It’s nothing like that. It’s just — isn’t it kind of weird, this mass exodus of the men of port charles? Well, why are they so secretive about it? Oh, well, actually, martin did, uh, let me in on the reasons for his departure. I gather austin did not.

[ Scoffs ] Thank you. No problem. So, spencer, how are port charles’ finest treating you? Well, I don’t mean to brag, but I did get an extra blanket last night, had lunch from kelly’s, and I’m allowed visitors. Oh. So being the mayor’s grandson has its privileges? Well, I’m not sure that I’d give it a five-star review, but, yeah, the pcpd is a decent budget option for travelers passing through. I’m glad to see you still have your sense of humor. The question is, how much longer am I going to need it? 30 days? Longer? Well, that is up to you. I had myself a little conversation with D.A. Scorpio. You name your accomplices, you’re looking at ten days at spring ridge. And if I don’t? Three months, pentonville. Three very long, very difficult months. It could be worse. It will be, believe me. Pentonville will not be a good place for you, for many reasons. Most obviously, your physical safety. I know the risks. Mm-hmm. And you think because you’re sonny corinthos’ nephew, you’ll be protected. Well… you better hope you’re right. Meantime, I hope you take this deal. Come on, spencer. I had to pull a rabbit out of a hat for this. Ten days of spring ridge is practically a vacation. And I appreciate that. Then why the hesitation? You don’t want to take your physical safety into consideration? Think about your family, their emotional wellbeing. My family will be fine, thank you. Why put them through it in the first place? Especially your grandmother. We both know what laura would want you to do. Jordan: Anything to report? Quiet so far, commissioner. Here’s hoping it stays that way. I’m ready if it doesn’T. That’s what I want to hear. I did want to speak with you about something. Yes, ma’am. A.D.A. Arden notified me that you were a spectator at trina robinson’s trial. It was my day off. It’s clear from your interaction with curtis and portia that you’ve become familiar with trina’s family and trina herself. Yes, ma’am. The patient in this room is a key witness in trina’s case. I could have picked any other police officer, but I hand-picked you because I trust you. Thank you, commissioner. Don’t thank me yet. I need to know, is an assignment connected to trina going to be a problem for you? Sonny: Dex, can you come here for a second? Would you do me a favor and, uh, get trina a drink, lunch, whatever she wants, on me? Uh, thanks, mr. Corinthos, but, um, I’m not hungry. Okay, well, if you change your mind, you can talk to dex because he’s going to be looking after you while I, uh — I talk to josslyn. Hi, josslyn. You got a minute? Um, I just — I don’t want you to concern yourself with dex’s errand yesterday. Oh, you mean the whole jury-tampering thing? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Why? So I don’t get you in trouble? Why would I want to save you? Well, I-I know you wouldn’t want to save me, but I think you want to save trina, right? Everything’ll be okay. We just need to take a step back and recalibrate. Hmm, no. No, no, no.

We don’T.

I do. I have a legit reason for going in and out of that room, but you don’T. I think that it’s best that I not get you involved. I-I need to do this on my own. W-we’ve gone through this before. I told you, I have your back. And I love you for that. But if rory wasn’t involved and jordan wasn’t popping up around every damn corner, it’d be a different situation, but that’s not what’s happening. We’re talking about injecting another doctor’s patient with drugs, to reverse a medically induced coma in a fraction of the time that it reasonably should be done. And now, on top of all of that, your ex-wife is involved. What does jordan being my ex-wife have to do with anything? Honey, she knows you, she knows your ways, and I’m fairly positive she already thinks we’re up to something. So at this point, I just — I think that it’s best if I do this on my own. How you gonna do that? Because I’m a doctor, and rory will not stop me from walking right past him and into that room. And before anybody has time to even question me, I’ll have administered the reversal agents, and oz haggerty will be awake. Or dead.

Are you playing the grandmother card? Is this about keeping me out of prison or keeping you from facing her wrath? Well, why should I have to choose? I mean, yes, I am laura’s brother, and as such, I have to answer to her, too. If I knowingly allow you to imperil your life, mine is in, well, even more jeopardy than it already is. Then you can remind my grandmother of the promise that I made to her before she left, which is that I would try my hardest to live up to her expectations. Oh, well, call it a hunch, but I don’t think your grandmother expected maximum security to be part of the deal. Come on, spencer. You honestly think taking the fall all by yourself is going to afford you some kind of redemption? I’ve rarely been held accountable for the things that I’ve done in life. So now I’m taking responsibility and I’m being a man. By taking the fall for somebody else — covering for a man that your grandmother both despises and distrusts. Don’t look at me like that. It wasn’t that hard to figure out. Laura already told me that it was victor who had somebody on the inside at spring ridge. My great-uncle is trying to get me to narc on my other great-uncle? This is something straight out of greek mythology, martin. Greek mythology, huh? So be it, apollo. What exactly is it going to take to get you to flip on your great-uncle hades? I know that there’s a thousand different ways that this could go wrong. Starting with rory. If he clocks you, it’ll be obvious that you’re responsible for administering the shot. Only if he finds out. What if he does? Then I will get caught. Which means goodbye job, goodbye good reputation, medical license, goodbye career. But the reward will be worth the risk.

[ Scoffs ] If oz regains consciousness and exonerates trina, then I-it’ll all have been worth it.

[ Knock on door ] Um, c-come in. Hey. The nurses’ station is all abuzz. We’re kind of in the middle of something right now. I-is this important? I don’t know. There’s a uniformed police officer stationed outside an icu room. Is that important? You tell me. The patient is a potential witness of a crime that’s under investigation. Right. G-got you. Wow. Yeah. Thank you. Okay, so the next time I can’t find britt or terry, I know who to come to for answers.

[ Chuckles ] You two okay? It seems a little edgy in here. Family issue. Mm. Oh, right, the trial. Oh. Forgive me. I’m sorry. I guess I was just distracted by the police presence. Yeah, we’ve had the same thing on our mind. Well, I sincerely hope that everything goes your way. Sorry to interrupt. It’s getting dicey. Now, not just jordan and rory’s eyes are on us, but austin’S. Everyone’s eyes are on that room. Do you get the feeling our timing is off? Yeah, but if not now, then when?

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] It’s diane. Hello? H-hi, diane. Hello. Oh. Yeah. Thank you. Um, thank you for letting me know. What is it? Diane tried to get a hold of trina, but I guess she’s getting her voicemail. Um… diane’s not sure, but she thinks the jury is close to a verdict. I know I’m not your favorite person these days, but would you hurt trina to get back at me? I will never forgive you for what you did to my mother, but I’m grateful for what you did for my friend. So you and joss are friends? Uh, is that what she said?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, hold on. I just got a message.

If I’m apollo and uncle victor is hades, that makes you poseidon. Well, look at you. Off the top of your head and everything. Makes me proud. I am greek. Even so, this greek god has got a ferry to catch, so, uh, what’s it going to be, nephew? No deal.

[ Sighs ] I was afraid you’d say that. Very well. Sign here. You report to pentonville in two weeks. And by the way, you need a little more help thinking this through, I could always call your daddy. Or laura. I do not need my family weighing in on this, and that includes you. Right now, you are not my great-uncle martin, you are my lawyer, and as your client, I am telling you that my mind is made up. Maybe I’m overreacting. Hmm, maybe. But maybe it’s your attempt to downplay a potential red flag in someone heretofore was really red-flag-free, and that’s causing you emotional and spiritual dissonance. But truthfully, that’s just for you to say, not me. Excuse me. Mm-hmm. It’s just that in the middle of planning a weekend getaway with my kids, austin suddenly gets a phone call from pautuck and has to flee? What could be so important that he would blow us off? Okay, so you don’t really buy his reason? He didn’t give me one! And the timing? It’s too convenient. What if he didn’t really get a phone call from pautuck? What if austin is having second thoughts about our relationship? Mason, come on, man. I — you got to stop. Stop hassling me. I just stopped off at work. Can you stop? Fine. Y– I — you win. You all win. I’ll drop everything. Tell her I’m on my way. No need to stick around, commish. I got it from here. And I want to believe you, officer cabrera, but you haven’t answered my question. Can you put your badge above your feelings for trina robinson? Sorry to interrupt, but I think your friend needs you. Oh. Thanks. What’s going down? Word is the jury’s coming back soon. Alright. We’re about to find out how strong your powers of persuasion are. Hey. What is it? Diane thinks there might be a verdict today.

[ Gasps ] Did she say if it was good or bad? It doesn’t matter. Diane did an excellent job establishing reasonable doubt. The jury will do the right thing. And what if they don’t? Then we appeal. And in the meantime, I’m in prison, not on house arrest. I-I just — what? I thought I had more time. Curtis: Hold on, I don’t understand. Either the jury is back or it’s not. And what makes diane so sure that they’ll be back with a verdict so soon? Well, apparently, diane has contacted the courthouse and the jury has decided to work through lunch and not order dinner. Okay. Well, then they will be back. You know, I was going to suggest that we sleep on this, but… we don’t have time to wait any longer. If we want to save trina from going to prison, I have to wake oz up right now.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nancy: I just love a man who doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty.

Clyde: Yeah, that’s me. My shift’s almost over. Why don’t you pick out a table and we’ll grab some dinner?

Nancy: Um, I have a better idea.

Clyde: What’s that?

Nancy: Why don’t you and i have dinner with chloe and brady? Unless there’s a reason you don’t think we should?

Clyde: Well, I got one pretty good reason. Your daughter hates my guts.

[Sentimental country music]

Chloe: Hey.

Brady: Chloe, you’ve been staring at that screen all morning. You’re gonna get eyestrain.

Chloe: I know, but I have to get this proposal in by tomorrow morning, and it has to be perfect. I’m not gonna give kristen another reason to write me up.

Brady: I saw your first draft this morning, and it was good.

Chloe: Well, good is not good enough in this situation. Any minute, that petty bitch could come walking in through that door.

Leo: Who are you calling petty?

[Tense music]

Xander: So, we agree that ava and gwen must be working together, right?

Sarah: Absolutely. So what do we do now?

Xander: Well, we have to get ava to admit that she helped gwen escape from statesville, and that she did it on the night that abigail was murdered. Oh, right, and that she knew gwen was gonna kill abigail and frame you for it.

Sarah: Is that all? That’ll be a piece of cake.

Xander: Hey, it might not be that difficult. I mean, gwen and ava, they’re business partners, not chums. Ava already rolled on her partner once before. I can make her throw gwen under the bus one last time.

Gwen: No, of course I didn’t kill abigail. But I had motive, and if the cops find out I had opportunity, well, that’s not gonna look good for either one of us.

Ava: Oh, are you threatening me? After I went out of my way to help do you a favor?

Gwen: No. I’m just pointing out that it would be in our best mutual interest to keep our mouths shut.

Ava: Well, don’t worry. Your secret’s safe with me.

[Tense music]

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Ej: Sorry, am I interrupting?

Ava: No, not at all. I mean, it is your house. This is my friend gwen. Gwen, this is ej, my brother-in-law.

Gwen: Mm. I know, we’ve met.

Ej: I don’t remember that.

Gwen: Oh, yeah, I’m not surprised.

[Clears throat] It was quite a long time ago. You barely even recognized that I was in the room. You were very focused on getting your million dollars back from xander cook.

[Tense music]

Sarah: Where are you going?

Xander: Gonna have a word with ava.

Sarah: Now?

Xander: Why not? I heard the grieving widow just moved into the dimera place.

Sarah: Yeah, but you have to be prepared if you’re gonna go talk to ava. She’s not stupid. She’s just gonna deny everything.

Xander: Well if she does, I’ll show her the copies we made of the visitor logs and the phone records. We can prove that… ava was in contact with gwen before and after abigail was murdered.

Sarah: Yeah, but we don’t know what they talked about.

Xander: What, you think they were exchanging recipes?

Sarah: All we have is a theory.

Xander: I’ll lean on her. She’ll fold.

Sarah: Mm. I admire your confidence. But ava is as tough as nails. You have to have proof.

Xander: Yeah, you’re right.

Sarah: And we know that ava isn’t the only person that gwen spoke to that day. There’s also her good friend leo stark.

Brady: Mm, what are you doing here, leo?

Leo: It’s a social call. I thought I’d save your asses by saving your company.

Brady: Ooh. He’s gonna save our company. How you gonna do that?

Leo: With this.

[Tense music]

Clyde: Nancy, I know you want chloe and her boyfriend to like me, but… we’ve been going out for a while now, and absolutely nothing has changed.

Nancy: Something has changed, clyde. You and I are living together now. And even though I don’t listen to them, that doesn’t mean that I’m going to stop trying to change their minds about you.

Clyde: Yeah, but you know, whatever you say won’t change the fact that I got a prison record. Now, we’re living together ’cause I need a place to stay here or else I’m violating my parole, and you graciously offered to put a roof over my head when ben and his family left town.

Nancy: I didn’t do it to be nice. I was happy to do it.

Clyde: And that means more to me than you know.

Nancy: You know, I– I think we’re pretty compatible in many ways, even as roomies.

Clyde: Yeah, even as roomies. But you know, you’ve been a really great friend to me. More than anyone else has ever been. Seems like you always got my back. Even when I’m accused of murder.

Jennifer: You ate your whole salad! How about I take you to the square for a treat?

Thomas: I don’t want to go there.

Jennifer: Not even to that place where they serve toffee on the frozen yogurt?

Thomas: I’m afraid to eat toffee now.

Jennifer: Why?

Thomas: My tooth is really loose. See?

Jennifer: That’s the problem.

Thomas: But I can still eat plain frozen yogurt, though.

Chad: I could go for some froyo myself. Thomas. Thomas, don’t run away from me.

[Somber music]

Jennifer: What just happened?

Chad: My kid hates me. It’s my own fault.

This is the sound of better breathing.

Jennifer: Chad, you know thomas doesn’t hate you.

Chad: I wouldn’t blame him if he did. I lost my temper with him yesterday.

Jennifer: Well, all parents do that.

Chad: Not under these circumstances. What? What are you thinking?

Jennifer: Well, I don’t want to upset you further.

Chad: Jennifer, just tell me.

Jennifer: Last night, thomas was worried when you didn’t come home.

Chad: He was?

Jennifer: Yes.

Chad: I should have called.

Jennifer: Jack and i were worried, too.

Chad: Yeah, I’m sorry. I just, I got–I got a little drunk last night and I crashed at sonny’s house.

Jennifer: I know. Sonny texted me, and I told thomas, but he was still scared.

Chad: Why?

Jennifer: Chad. Your son is afraid you’re gonna leave him, the way his mother did.

[Somber music]

[Soft country music]

Nancy: Clyde, I told you the night that we met that I believe everybody deserves a second chance.

Clyde: That meant the world to me.

Nancy: I just–I just wanted you to stop being so hard on yourself. You did the time. And you paid your debt. That’s why, when you were arrested, I felt so bad for you.

Clyde: Well, it was rough, but, you know, it all worked out. And now, here I am with you, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Nancy: Me too. And clyde, I am sure that the man that sold you that stolen bracelet, he’s the one that killed abigail.

[Sighs] It has to be him, right?

Clyde: Yeah. I just wish I could have given the cops a better description of the weasel. You know, I would have been the hero now, you know? The guy who brought that killer to justice.

Brady: Leo.

Leo: Hmm?

Brady: Don’t get too comfortable. That’s my candy. What the hell are you doing here?

Chloe: Yeah, and what is that?

Leo: I saw your ad online for a brand specialist. And since I am a living, breathing brand of my own, one who’s currently between gigs, I thought I would give you first dibs at my services.

Brady: [Chuckles]

Leo: I was thinking I could bring some color to basic black. No offense, but you two might want to stop dressing like pallbearers.

Brady: Okay. Look, chloe and I are busy. We’re busy, so why don’t you just, you know–

Chloe: Go away. And what is that?

Leo: Ah, this is what they call a lookbook. I put it together to give you an idea of my vision.

Chloe: Okay, well, I know what a lookbook is. But these are… only pictures of you.

Leo: I know. Eat your heart out, david gandy. There’s no question I could bring some fab to the drab here at basic black.

Chloe: [Clears throat] Um, should… you call security, or can I do the honors?

Brady: No, I don’t need security. I can throw him out myself. Come on. Let’s go.

Leo: Whoa, whoa, whoa! What is with the hostility?

Chloe: Come on, all three of us know that you are not here for a job.

Brady: Leo, we’re not stupid. All you want to do is stab us in the back.

Sarah: So gwen called leo stark on the day of the murder as well.

Xander: Yeah, I haven’t forgotten about him. I just don’t see leo killing anyone, you know? And lucas didn’t say anything about seeing drag sarah horton running down those stairs.

Sarah: So, you do think it was gwen.

Xander: Leo’s just a conman, but gwen, I mean, clearly, she’ll do whatever it takes to get what she wants. Can’t believe she convinced me she’d changed. What a dummy I was.

Sarah: Hey, no, you have to stop beating yourself up. How could you have known?

Xander: There were signs. I just chose to ignore them.

Sarah: Yeah, but you had been hurt so badly. By me. You know, you just needed to believe in love again.

Xander: I wasn’t hurt by you, I was hurt by that monster kristen dimera. All you’ve ever done is just make me so much happier than I ever deserved to be.

Sarah: No, stop that. You deserve to be happy. And to be loved. And you need to give yourself a little bit more credit. You saw through gwen eventually.

Xander: Yeah, only after she made your life hell. I mean, we both know she wouldn’t have gone anywhere near you if I hadn’t been so stupid.

Ej: Oh, I remember you now. You’re xander cook’s mistress.

Gwen: Yeah, well, xander and I aren’t together anymore.

Ej: Oh, well that’s a point in your favor. But any friend of my late brother’s wife is welcome in this house. I’m sure you’re a great comfort to ava.

Gwen: I certainly try to be.

Ej: Why don’t you stay for drinks and dinner?

Ava: That’s very generous of you, ej, but isn’t it a little late to add another person to the table?

Ej: Oh, we’re very adaptable. So will you stay?

Gwen: Sure. Why not?

Ej: Great. I’ll go shower and change, and then we can get to know each other a little better. Perhaps we’ll even get around to discussing that secret that ava seems to be keeping for you.

[Tense music]

It’s started. Somewhere between a cuddle

Chad: He thought I left him for good?

Jennifer: He was panicky.

[Somber music]

I reassured him, of course, but it was a rough night for him.

Chad: Poor little guy. I’m–I’m sorry.

Jennifer: I didn’t want to tell you, but I thought you needed to know.

Chad: Oh yeah, I did need to know.

Jennifer: Yes, I suppose you did, but I– look, I hate to cause you more pain.

Chad: Jen, I’m not really worried about my pain right now, all right? This is my son we’re talking about. And he thought his dad died last night because he didn’t turn up and he didn’t call. I mean, it’s no wonder he was scared. Him and charlotte kissed their mother goodbye and then went to do see a movie with me, and then when we came back… I mean, my son just wants his mom back, and his dad has no clue what to say to him. I mean, how do I make this okay?

Jennifer: You can’T. None of us can. But the one thing that you can do, we can all do, is we can–we can go through this together. As a parent, I have learned that you cannot always be wise and wonderful for your kids, but you can be there.

Chad: Yeah. I mean, it’s no secret that I’m a mess right now. I got loaded last night because I wanted to feel nothing. Honestly, I am filled with nothing but rage.

Jennifer: I understand that. I do.

Chad: And the truth is I was just too ashamed to face thomas or charlotte last night. The last thing they need is their drunken father staggering around. Not so wise and wonderful, you said? I’m far from that. Yeah, I’m doing my best… to keep it together. And the truth is…

[Somber music]

I’m falling apart, okay?

Jennifer: I know. I know.

Chad: I mean… what do we do without her? You know, what are we– what are supposed to do without abby?

Jennifer: I don’t know.

Clyde: Nancy, why don’t you just take chloe and brady out by yourself?

Nancy: Clyde, you and i are a couple now. Chloe has to accept that.

Clyde: Or we could get some takeout from that chinese place that ben likes, you know, stay home, watch some lady wrestling.

Nancy: Do I have to put you in a hammerlock to get my way? Once you spend time with chloe and brady, they’re gonna learn to love you like I do.

Clyde: Nancy miller, did i just hear you say you love me?

Nancy: I don’t know what I said.

Clyde: [Chuckles]

>>Nancy: But you are gonna have to change that shirt before we go to dinner.

Clyde: Yeah, the fry-o-lator splattered on me. But I do clean up pretty nice, you know.

Nancy: Yes, you do. [Laughs] Okay. Oh, wait, I think you should just go home and shower and put on that new shirt that I bought you.

Clyde: All right. Where will you be?

Nancy: I’m going to pick up chloe and brady, and then– then we’ll text you to let you know where to meet us for dinner.

Chloe: You told my mother that I was on some sort of list of yours, and she knew that you weren’t talking about your christmas card list, so why would brady and I be dumb enough to hire you after that?

Leo: Well, I only said that because she made me so mad.

Chloe: Well, you’re still mad! If we hired you, you’d run this company into the ground.

Leo: Why would I do a thing like that?

Brady: You made it clear that you intend to get even with anyone who came in between you and craig.

Leo: True. But I changed my mind. I decided to be the bigger person and let all that go. If I’m willing to get bygones be bygones, shouldn’t you be?

Chloe: Why would you even want to work here?

Leo: Girl’s gotta eat, right?

Brady: [Laughs] You are unbelievable.

Leo: I like to think of myself as unique, a true original, which is what my designs for basic black would be. Should we talk salary?

Chloe: Get out.

Leo: You two are so tiresome. Well, I guess I’ll just have to start my own brand and bury you. I assure you, it’s nothing personal.

[Mysterious jazz music]

This is majestic.

Xander: Gwen killed her own sister and tried to frame you for it, and you know why.

Sarah: Because she hated abigail. And she wanted me out of the way so she could have a shot with you.

Xander: Right. That’s why I’m gonna be the one to make sure her plan blows up in her face.

Sarah: You know, gwen does seem to be a psychiatrist’s worst nightmare, but there is something about her that I do understand.

Xander: What’s that?

Sarah: Risking everything to be with you.

Xander: Ah, get on with you.

Sarah: No, I mean it. I thought I was losing my mind, but now…

Xander: You’re the sarah I know. The sarah I love.

Sarah: It’s because we’re together. Because we’re really together.

Xander: You did all the hard work all by yourself.

Sarah: No. No, I mean it. We make a really good team.

Xander: Yeah. You’re the brains and I’m the muscle.

Sarah: You are so much more than muscle. Although the muscle is part of your appeal. Do we have to go confront ava right this minute?

Xander: You know, I was just thinking, maybe we should put that off for a bit.

[Sentimental music]

Gwen: I can’t believe ej heard us talking.

Ava: Yeah, well, he doesn’t miss a trick. He’s desperate to get rid of me. Now, he’ll have just what he needs if he figures out that I helped you escape.

Gwen: Why does he want to get rid of you?

Ava: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I just inherited jake’s shares of dimera enterprises.

Gwen: [Sighs] So he’s gonna want some answers when he gets back.

Ava: Right. So, we need to come up with another big secret. And fast.

Chad: Hey, pal.

Thomas: Hi.

Chad: I’m sorry I– I’m sorry I didn’t come home last night. I’m sorry about a lot of stuff. I– I yelled at you, and that was wrong.

Thomas: It’s okay.

Chad: No, it isn’T. But I didn’t yell at you because I was mad.

Thomas: It sounded like you were.

Chad: I wasn’T.

[Sentimental music]

I’m just so mad at the world.

Thomas: Me too.

Chad: Yeah. We’re both mad… and we’re both sad… because mommy’s gone, and we both miss her very much, and we would do anything for her to come back. I know… your mom was always– she was always so great at coming up with ways to make you feel better. Taking you to the aquarium, just the two of you. I know how much you loved that. And you remember when she let you and charlotte roast those marshmallows on that fancy fireplace?

Thomas: That was fun.

Chad: Yeah. I know. You know, I was just looking at pictures that she took of you guys that night. I can show them to you.

I want to be… I want to be good… at coming up with great ideas like she was. But I just, I– I don’t think I have it in me right now. I just– actually, I can’T.

But maybe– maybe if you have… you know, an idea or think of anything.

Thomas: Maybe…

Chad: Maybe what?

Thomas: I could make you feel better, then you can make me feel better.

Chad: [Sobs] I think that… that might be the best idea that I have ever heard. You know how much you remind me of your mom? You and your sister, both of you. And anytime that I want to see your mom, all I have to do is look at you guys. I love you. Think you could give me a hug?

Brady: Can you believe that guy? Just waltzing in here, expecting a job.

Chloe: Yeah, well now that he’s gone, I have to admit some of these designs are actually really good.

Brady: Chloe, seriously? Did you see the suit that he was wearing? The only thing missing was a boutonniere that squirts water.

Chloe: No, I know leo does have his own personal style. But this? This is actually kind of different. I like it.

Nancy: Why are you looking at pictures of that horrible man?

[Tense music]

Leo: Chloe lane and brady black wouldn’t know good design if it hit them right in the face.

Clyde: That’s exactly what I should do to you.

You never know

what opportunities

Nancy: You are looking at pictures of the man who destroyed my marriage.

Chloe: Mom, it’s not what you think.

Nancy: He ruined my life, and then he stayed in salem to rub my nose in it!

Chloe: Which is why I don’t want to have anything to do with him.

Nancy: [Chuckles] Don’t lie to me, chloe lane. I may not be a fashionista, but I know a lookbook when I see one.

Brady: Nancy, you’re right. He came in here asking for a job.

Nancy: The nerve of him!

Chloe: I know! Totally! Which is why we threw him out.

Brady: It’s a good thing I don’t keep a baseball bat in the office, or he would have been crawling out with two broken legs.

Nancy: [Chuckles]

Clyde: Well, I’ve been looking for you. And the cops would be too if I had given them a better description. But I don’t think I’ll forget your face now. Now that you got that deer-in-the-headlights look about you. Careful you don’t wet them fancy pants of yours, man.

Leo: Eww. Since our last association was mutually beneficial, I’m gonna forget you said that. How about a buy you a drink? I’m drinking pinot grigio myself; it’s a modest wine, but I think you’ll be amused as its presumption.

Clyde: Never touch the stuff.

Leo: Hmm. Yours is moonshine in a dirty glass? Hey, hey, hey you’re wrinkling my suit.

Clyde: I almost took a murder rap ’cause of you. They had me in for the murder of abigail dimera. Lucky for me, I had an alibi. But I get the feeling you’re not gonna be half as lucky as I was.

Chad: So, what was– what was the frozen yogurt you and grandma were talking about?

Jennifer: Well, I have a good idea. Why don’t the two of you go get it together?

Chad: No, why don’t– you should come with us.

Jennifer: No, another time. For now, I think you two guys need a boys’ night out.

Chad: What do you think, kiddo? It’s up to you.

Thomas: I think that sounds fun. Let’s do it.

[Sentimental music]

Ej: Oh, by the way, gwen, harold said it was no problem to set another place at the table for you.

Gwen: Lovely.

Ava: Ah, thank you.

Ej: To family… and to new friends.

[Tense music]

Mm, I’m eager to know all about this secret the two of you are keeping. And I can’t but help but wonder if it has anything to do with abigail.

Announcer: Type 2 diabetes?

Nancy: [Sighs] Okay. Now that you’ve explained about talking to that horrible man, let’s not mention his name again, because it just makes me queasy.

Brady: Agreed. As a matter of fact, I was gonna try to convince chloe to get out of here and go get some dinner. You’re welcome to join us if you’d like.

Nancy: Oh, well, funny thing about that, I came here to ask you and chloe to join clyde and i for dinner tonight. Come on, please say yes. I mean, whether you like him or not, clyde weston is the new man in my life. Chloe, he makes me happy. And I just want to share that with the people that I love.

Brady: I hear that he’s living with you now?

Nancy: Yes. I didn’t think I needed to ask your permission.

Chloe: No, you don’T. If he’s the man in your life, then I will gladly go to dinner with–with you guys. And I’ll try to focus on the fact that he makes you happy.

Nancy: Thank you, sweetheart. Brady?

Brady: Well, if you’re good with it, then who am I to argue? I’m in.

Nancy: Great. Okay, let’s go.

[Tense music]

Xander: Here is that mousse you were craving.

Sarah: Mmm, finally. Took long enough to get here.

Xander: Well, you know, takes a minute. I’ve got to find and hunt and kill a moose and whip it up into a creamy dessert.

Sarah: You have a very wry wit, mr. Cook. Mmm. You know what?

Xander: What?

Sarah: That mousse took so long to get here that I developed an appetite for something else entirely different. One that doesn’t require a spoon.

Xander: You know, that’s funny. Because I was getting a bit peckish myself.

Sarah: Hmm.

Xander: But not for mousse.

[Sultry music]

Ava: Why in the world would gwen have any secret that involves abigail?

Ej: Can you answer that, ms. Rizczech?

Gwen: Ah. I see you’ve figured me out then, have you?

Ej: I didn’t put it together until after I had left you. You’re the daughter jack deveraux didn’t know he fathered. The one who returned to salem with a desire to get even.

Gwen: That was a long time ago.

Ej: Must have been. I wasn’t in salem when you seduced my brother and tried to ruin his marriage.

Gwen: Guilty as charged. You see, I was a very angry woman back then. But luckily, I was able to see all the harm that I had caused, and I made peace with abigail, long before she died. My heart goes out to chad. I know how devastated he is over the loss of his wife.

[Tense music]

Chad: Mmm. I don’t care what anybody says, I think that vanilla is the best frozen yogurt.

Thomas: I think chocolate’s better.

Chad: Yeah? What? Are you okay? Is this your tooth? Oh, my gosh, we’ve been waiting forever for this to come out!

Thomas: Will you keep it for me so I can put it under my pillow?

Chad: Will you trust me with something this important?

Thomas: Mom used to do it. You’re gonna have to do some of the stuff mom did.

Chad: I would be happy to. I am gonna guard this with my life.

Thomas: Does the tooth fairy know we’re at grandma’s house?

Chad: Yeah, the tooth fairy’s very smart. She knows where all the kids live, so she’ll find you.

Thomas: Okay, good. But the tooth fairy’s a he.

Leo: You’re looking at me like you think I killed abigail dimera.

Clyde: Tell it to the cops.

Leo: Do we need to involve the cops in this? You’re on parole after a fairly colorful past, and I’ve spent a certain amount of time on the wrong side of the law myself.

Clyde: I told you I’ve been cleared.

Leo: Do the cops know that you fenced the stolen jewelry of a murder victim?

Clyde: [Sighs] I’ll take my chances.

Leo: Well, at least let me finish my wine. I missed happy hour by two minutes and they made me pay full price.

Clyde: Well, drink up, my friend. I’m pretty sure they won’t be serving no pinot grigio where you’re going.

Leo: Well, here’s to the boys in cell block B. Bottoms up.

Clyde: Ahh! Ahh!

[Groaning]

[Up-tempo jazz music]

Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Sarah: I think the last time I was this happy was the night before our wedding.

Xander: Same here.

Sarah: Meds are working. Hallucinations have diminished. I’m back with the man I love.

Xander: Who is soon to be your devoted husband.

Sarah: Mm. That will make me even happier than I am now, if that’s even possible. Ooh, but first, we have some unfinished business to attend to.

Xander: Indeed, we do. We have to make ava cough up what she knows about gwen.

[Tense music]

Gwen: So, will chad and the kids be at dinner?

Ej: No, they’re staying with jack and jennifer. And you two still haven’t told me your secret.

Ava: Okay. It’s about your favorite person, xander cook. Gwen wants him back.

Gwen: It’s true. Yeah. Uh… I thought it was a lost cause, but now that lucas has said that he saw sarah in this house on the very day that abigail was murdered, well, I don’t know, maybe we still have a chance.

Ej: I see you haven’t heard.

Gwen: Heard what?

Ej: It appears that sarah might have an alibi.

Gwen: But lucas said that–

Ej: Lucas and I have a long history. He’s a sot and liar. Soon as I heard he’d implicated sarah, I knew she hadn’t done it. Someone else killed abigail.

I think I might go check on dinner.

Gwen: I cannot believe you told him I’m pining after xander.

Ava: Well, we had to tell ej something, and the best lies have a grain of truth to them.

Gwen: Are you sure it’s a good idea to be living in the same house with the very man who’s out to get you?

Ava: Don’t worry about it. I know how to handle ej dimera.

Nancy: Look who I brought with me. What happened to your shirt?

Clyde: Oh, you wouldn’t believe it. I just ran into the dude that gave me abigail’s bracelet.

Nancy: Really?

Brady: Where the hell is he?

Clyde: He knew I was on to him, threw a drink in my face, and ran out.

Chad: You saw the tooth fairy in the basement of our old house?

Thomas: And it was a man.

Chad: Right. Okay. Look, I want you to promise me that you’re not gonna go down there again, okay, big guy? Those tunnels aren’t the safest place for a little kid, especially by themselves.

Thomas: But I wasn’t by myself. The tooth fairy was there. I told mommy about it. And if you don’t believe me, ask him yourself! Look! There he is!

[Finn chuckling]

Finn: Last night was… incredible.

Steffy: It was amazing, two of us reconnecting, waking up in our bed. Did that really happen?

Finn: It really happened.

[Steffy laughs]

Steffy: I stared at you all night. I was like touching you to make sure you were real, that you weren’t going away.

Finn: I am home. I’m never leaving you, hayes, and kelly ever.

Steffy: I am so lucky. We’re so lucky to be a family again.

Hope: Mmm. How much longer can we get away with this?

Liam: I don’t know. ‘Til one of the kids comes running in with a skinned knee, probably.

Hope: Oh, the fact that beth is finally old enough to play outside with douglas all on her own.

Liam: God, it’s life changing. It’s absolutely life changing.

Hope: We really have it good, don’t we?

Liam: Yeah. Healthy kids, happy marriage. Check. Check.

[Hope chuckles]

Hope: Our family’s thriving. You know, I can’t help but think about steffy and finn and the joy that they must feel with their family back together.

Liam: I know, all is right with the world. Um– okay, except for one thing.

Hope: Oh. Sheila. Mm. Yes. As it the extra security on the property wasn’t enough of a reminder.

Liam: Should be nice when she’s uh, behind bars. Forever.

Brooke: Yeah, I’m looking at it now. The packet and the inserts are great. And the release. Oh, wait, hang on. Oh, I’m getting a call. I’ll talk to you later, okay? Hello?

Det. Sanchez: Mrs. Forrester. It’s detective sanchez.

Brooke: Hi, detective sanchez. What can I do for you?

Det. Sanchez: I’m calling about sheila carter.

Brooke: What about sheila?

Det. Sanchez: I’m actually looking for ridge.

Can’t seem to find him.

Brooke: Ridge went downtown for a meeting and he left his phone here. I think he’s on his way back soon. Is there anything i can help you with?

Det. Sanchez: We have an update on sheila. Deputy chief baker is tied up in court. He asked that I meet with ridge and the rest of the family in person.

Brooke: Okay, well, I could have everybody meet here at forrester. What’s this about?

Det. Sanchez: I’ll explain when I see you.

[Brooke sighing]

Hope: Do you really have to be wearing a shirt right now?

Liam: Well, you’re welcome to come over here and take it back off me.

Hope: Oh, don’t tempt me with a good time.

Thomas: Knock, knock.

Hope: Oh, hey, thomas.

Liam: Hey!

Thomas: Hey. I just came by to see douglas.

Liam: Uh yeah, he and beth are on the tennis court playing right now. They should be back any second.

Thomas: Cool. Good to see you guys.

Liam: Yeah, you too.

Hope: So, how are steffy and finn readjusting? We were so thrilled for them. They really must be walking on air right now.

Thomas: Yeah, actually, I think that that’s a great way to describe it.

Steffy: There is just so much I want to do with you. So much time we need to make up for!

Finn: Oh, we will.

Steffy: Oh.

[Knocking] Mm. That’s my mom, honey.

Steffy: Mm.

Finn: Hey, mom.

Li: Sweetheart. How are you feeling?

Finn: I’m good. I’m uh, better every second I get to spend with my beautiful wife.

Li: Nice to see you, steffy.

Steffy: You too. Hayes and kelly are still at the park with the babysitter. But don’t worry, we have security keeping an eye on them.

Li: Can’t be too careful with sheila on the loose.

[Phone rings]

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: Brooke.

Brooke: Steffy, hi. Detective sanchez just called for your father. He said he had an update on sheila.

Steffy: On sheila?

Brooke: He was hoping we could all meet here in the office. When would you be able to get here?

Steffy: Li just showed up at the house but we can– we can go right now. I’ll– I’ll text my mom. Thanks. They have news about sheila.

Finn: Okay, well, let’s– let’s, let’s go.

Steffy: Okay. Yes.

Thomas: Sheila can’t keep running forever.

Liam: Yeah, mean time, we just have to stay vigilant, make sure she doesn’t have any more opportunities to cause damage.

Hope: Well, I think all of our concerns are definitely justified but I do think it is important for us to focus on the wins, too. And, finn coming back into our lives is a big one.

Thomas: You know, if there’s anything I’ve learned from, you know, my sister and her husband’s situation is that life is short. Make every second count.

Liam: There’s some words to live by.

Hope: The kids!

Thomas: There they are. Hey!

Hope: Hi, sweetie!

Thomas: Hey, bud. Did you guys have fun playing outside?

Douglas: Yeah, and we played jump rope.

Hope: Oh! I bet you learned from the best.

Douglas: I can’t wait ’til we get to see aunt steffy ad uncle finn!

Hope: Oh, we are excited, too.

Douglas: Hey, could you come outside with me and throw the baseball?

Thomas: Uh, yeah. It’s, like, my favorite thing in the world to do! Come on. Awesome.

Liam: See you guys.

Thomas: Yeah, see ya.

Liam: That right there is a happy, well-adjusted kid.

Hope: Mm, he is, isn’t he?

Liam: Because of you.

Hope: Well, that’s sweet of you to say that.

Liam: It’s sweet of me to say, it’s also the truth. You turned that kid’s life around after caroline d-I-e-D.

Hope: Well, douglas means the world to me. I don’t know what i would do without him.

Taylor: Okay, so– so what’s the news?

Brooke: All detective sanchez said was that it’s regarding sheila.

Eric: Yeah.

[Taylor sighing]

Steffy: What’s going on? Is dad back yet? Where is detective sanchez?

Brooke: The detective’s on his way and hopefully your father is, too. But he left his phone here and we can’t reach him.

Eric: Steffy, finn. It’s still amazing to see the two of you together again.

Taylor: I know. I feel the same way. It’s so good seeing them together. And we have li to thank for that. But li, I– I have to ask, why, why didn’t you tell steffy or any of us that you had finn and you were keeping him alive?

Li: I understand both your and steffy’s frustration.

Taylor: Okay. I just– I just wish that you would have at least told steffy, it would have saved your son’s wife a lot of pain and suffering.

Li: Looking back, I may have done things differently but please know that I never meant to hurt or deceive any of you. Finn’s condition was so fragile, the likelihood of him standing like this with us today… miraculously, my boy pulled through.

Taylor: Yes. And for that we are, we are very grateful.

Brooke: Detective sanchez, welcome.

Detective sanchez: Thank you all for coming. Is ridge…?

Eric: He’s on his way. Uh, we’d like to hear what’s going on.

Detective sanchez: Like i told brooke on the phone, I have the latest on sheila carter.

Steffy: Do you know where she is?

Detective sanchez: Yes. We’ve located the fugitive. Nexgard is the flea and tick protection

[Hope sighs]

Hope: Well, beth is all set up in her room with a movie.

Liam: Aww. Well, like she said, she’s a big girl now.

[Hope laughs] So…

Hope: Look, I don’t want to jinx anything. But I think this might be the perfect day.

Liam: Sure started out that way, didn’t it?

Hope: It did.

Liam: Hey. How’d it go?

Thomas: Wow. Okay, so, I don’t know if you guys have seen this yet but douglas has a cannon for an arm.

Hope: Oh, atta boy, kiddo! Yes!

Thomas: I am seriously impressed. That was an awesome job out there.

Liam: This is what I’m talking about. Finally, finally, an athlete in the family.

Thomas: Well, you know what? You keep practicing every day and you might pitch for the dodgers. How’d you like that?

Douglas: That would be awesome.

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: Um, yeah, it would.

Douglas: Um, thanks for helping me, dad.

Thomas: You don’t have to thank me, bud. I’m always here for you. I’m your father.

Douglas: Yeah, I know, I’m– I miss you a lot. I wish we could be together more. Um, do you miss me when we’re not together?

Thomas: Of course I miss you, douglas. And– I– look, I know maybe it doesn’t feel that way all the time because I’m not around as much. But you know that I– I love you, right?

Douglas: Yeah.

Thomas: Yeah. Okay. You just– you just don’t like it when we don’t get to spend as much time together? Got it. Okay, well, look, I’ll tell you something. Even when we’re not physically together, we’re still kind of together because I’m always thinking about you. All right? Every moment of the day, I’m thinking about how your day’s going. When I go to sleep at night, I’m thinking, “how did his day go?” And, you know, “did he have fun at school or at camp?” And I try, you know, I try to keep in touch with your mom and make sure that you’re doing okay. But, maybe it’s not enough. Come here.

Finn: You found sheila?

Li: You have her in custody.

Detective sanchez: I didn’t say that.

Taylor: What are you saying?

Detective sanchez: This is what we know: Sheila carter was on the run. She was hiding out in the city. And at some point, she left los angeles.

Steffy: You lost track of her?

Detective sanchez: Security cameras spotted sheila somewhere outside of the sierras at a convenience store. Here are some stills from that camera footage.

Eric: Yeah, look. It does look like her.

Finn: That’s her.

Taylor: What does this mean, exactly?

Steffy: Yeah, it’s just a photograph. That’s all you got?

Detective sanchez: Well, we also found an abandoned car out there that we pulled sheila’s fingerprints from. And then at a campsite in the sierras, park ranger found some– very disturbing evidence.

Eric: Evidence like what?

Detective sanchez: Someone was attacked by a bear.

Taylor: A bear?

Steffy: Oh, my god. Are you serious?

Detective sanchez: Here, see for yourself. Although I should warn you.

Finn: Wait, is– so this is–

Detective sanchez: Photos of what’s left of sheila and some of her personal belongings.

Eric: Wait, what– what’s left of her?

Li: Everything’s ripped to shreds.

Detective sanchez: It was a chilling scene. We found her driver’s license and a broken cell phone. And this is an evidence bag. Contains some of sheila’s hair and her torn, bloodstained clothing. I mean, you get the picture.

Finn: Oh, man.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Steffy: Are you sure this is sheila? You’re absolutely certain?

Detective sanchez: Dna evidence is indisputable. Points to one person and one person only. I will do great things today.

Douglas: Hey, um, dad, can we throw the ball some more?

Hope: Actually, douglas, honey, you still have that one chapter left of your summer reading.

Douglas: But I want to play with dad.

Thomas: It’s all right. We’ll– we’ll play a little bit later, all right, bud?

Douglas: Oh. Oh, okay.

Thomas: Okay.

[Door shuts] Yeah. Thanks uh, thanks for creating such a wonderful home for douglas.

Hope: Of course, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him.

Thomas: I’m glad to hear you say that because it’s really hard hearing douglas talk about how much he misses me. It makes me feel like, well, I’m not pulling my weight as a father.

Liam: Oh, I– I can tell you, he doesn’t doubt how much you love him. He knows.

Thomas: Well, I don’t want him to ever question that. I gotta say, he does have a reason to feel overlooked.

Hope: He would never feel that way.

Thomas: Obviously he does. Look, I– I was already thinking about this. Um, I asked granddad if I can move in with him and um, I think it’d be great if douglas moved in, too. That way, the father and the son can spend time together like they should. I would love that. And I think douglas would too.

Hope: Wait, so are you suggesting that douglas move out of here, the home that he knows with his sister to go live with you?

Thomas: Yeah, I think it’s time. And obviously you can see him whenever you want.

Hope: You know what? I think this is a conversation that we should have later because I don’t want douglas to overhear anything. So I think we should table this discussion right now.

Thomas: Okay. I’ll go. I don’t want to upset douglas or you, just tell him I said bye.

Liam: We will.

[Hope sighs]

Liam: Uh, wow. That– yeah, that was um, something.

Hope: Can you believe that? Can you believe what he’s asking?

Liam: No– I– I know.

Douglas: Where– where’s dad?

> Hope: Oh. Um–

Liam: Uh…

Hope: You know what, sweetie? Your dad actually, he had to, he had to leave. But he told us to say bye and not to worry, you are going to see him again very, very soon.

Thomas: From now on, I’m gonna be much more involved in your life, douglas. You’re never going to doubt how much your dad loves you.

[Brooke sighs]

Eric: Is this for real?

Li: She was mauled by a bear?

Taylor: How do you know it’s sheila?

Detective sanchez: All the blood, all the evidence we found at the campsite belongs to her.

Finn: So what are you saying?

Taylor: Are you saying that sheila’s dead?

Steffy: She’s gone for good.

Detective sanchez: That’s exactly what I’m saying. Sheila carter’s deceased.

Brooke: I’m still not convinced. Sheila is a master manipulator. And you said you found hair and bloody clothes and an I.D., A phone. But is that all? We need details.

Detective sanchez: There’s one more thing. Look, I understand you’re all skeptical, as was I and the deputy chief. And that’s why I uh, I brought this.

Eric: What is this?

Detective sanchez: It’s another piece of evidence.

Taylor: Is– is that a–?

Detective sanchez: One of sheila’s digits. Her middle toe to be exact.

Brooke: Oh. Oh. Oh, my god.

Steffy: Are you okay?

Finn: I– yeah. I’m kind of in shock. And, and I hate to think of my birth mom gone in such a vicious way but we won’t have to worry about her anymore.

Taylor: It’s over. It’s finally over.

Brooke: All the pain that she’s caused.

Eric: All the terrifying things that she’s done to this family.

Sheila: You want to play ugly? I wrote the book on it.

Stephanie: Ah!

Finn: Who are you?

Sheila: I’m your mother.

Finn: You’re my mother?

Sheila: No! If one of us isn’t meant to be in finn’s life, it’s gonna be you, steffy. You.

Detective sanchez: There’s no doubt about it. Sheila’s gone. She’s dead. This time forever.

Update written by Joseph

Eric goes to John and Marlena’s to bring Marlena a book. Belle answers the door and tells him that Marlena went out to dinner with a colleague. Eric notices that Belle has her bags packed and asks if she’s going on a business trip. Belle excitedly tells him that it’s a personal one as she is moving back home.

Jada goes to the police station where Shawn notes that she looks a little rattled. Jada complains to him that she just met with Melinda Trask, who read her the riot act about not closing the Abigail DiMera case yet. Shawn mentions that he got it earlier too. Shawn asks if Melinda went on about Sarah or Lucas. Jada says it was both, plus a rant about Clyde Weston because Melinda is furious that they released him. Shawn points out that Clyde had an airtight alibi. Jada says Melinda is stuck on the fact that Clyde had Abigail’s stolen bracelet. Shawn admits that he is too. Jada questions who the guy is that Clyde says he bought it from. Shawn responds that he doesn’t know but they need to find out.

At the Bistro, Clyde tells Nancy, Brady, and Chloe about the guy he bought the bracelet from throwing a drink in his face and running away. Brady asks if he got a good look at him which Clyde confirms he did. Chloe says that’s great, so he can identify him now. Brady adds that it will help the police finally bring Abigail’s killer to justice.

Leo walks through the town square, so Thomas tells Chad that he can ask the Tooth Fairy himself because there he is. Chad questions Thomas saying that he saw Leo in their house and when it was. Thomas confirms it was the day Abigail went to Heaven. Leo quickly walks away as Chad orders Thomas to stay right there while he goes to talk to Leo.

Jada tells Shawn that she wishes Clyde gave them a better description. Shawn suggests bringing him in tomorrow to meet with a sketch artist. Jada calls that a good idea and asks Shawn how things went with his wife earlier. Shawn says that they actually went pretty well and she’s moving back home tonight. Jada says that’s great and asks if he wants to leave early. Shawn thanks her but says they are meeting up later. Jada wishes him luck and notes that she knows how it feels to hope for reconciliation as she went through it with her ex-husband. Shawn didn’t know she was divorced. Jada calls it a stupid thing of her to bring up but Shawn says it’s okay. Jada says obviously her marriage didn’t last, but she’s sure he and Belle will work things out. Jada tells him to forget she said anything. Shawn says it’s fine and asks Jada if the divorce was recent or if that was the reason she moved to Salem to get a change of scenery. Jada responds that it’s been awhile actually. Shawn asks if she’s okay. Jada says when you get married, you don’t think it’s going to fall apart, so when things do fall apart, she felt like a failure. Jada adds that as time goes on, she feels like she can forgive herself. Jada adds that she actually had a date today. Shawn asks how she squeezed that in. Jada says it was on her lunch break, so Shawn realizes that’s what she meant when she said she had somewhere to be. Shawn asks if the date was good. Jada confirms it was and that the guy was very nice. Jada then reveals that Shawn actually knows him as it’s his brother-in-law, Eric.

Eric hugs Belle and tells her that it’s great news, asking if she wants to tell him about it. Belle brings up how Evan took the baby back from Shawn and Shawn is very heartbroken about it, so she just wants to be there for him so she thought if she moved back in, they could work on their marriage too. Eric says helping him through losing a baby is very big of her. Belle admits that if the baby was Shawn’s with Jan then she doesn’t know if she would be moving back in. Eric says that’s not a concern now. Belle admits that the baby wasn’t the source of all their problems as there is still the fact that she slept with EJ while they were separated and that’s not something he can just get over. Belle notes that she knows Sami never will but Shawn is willing to try. Belle thinks they both know it will take some time to fix things but that moving back in is a good first step.

Brady states that this guy has to be the guy that killed Abigail. Nancy adds that’s what she has been saying all along. Brady tells Clyde that he needs to tell the police what he just told them, that he ran in to the guy who sold him Abigail’s bracelet and that he’s on the loose. Nancy agrees that now Clyde can give them a better description. Brady says he’s going to give Rafe a call but Clyde says not so fast.

Chad catches Leo in the town square and asks if he’s going somewhere. Leo claims he didn’t see him and asks if there’s something he can do for him. Chad questions what Leo was doing in his basement on the day that his wife was murdered.

Shawn questions Jada going on a date with Eric. Jada asks if he’s not okay with that. Shawn responds that he’s actually more than fine with it. Jada didn’t want to step on any toes or create any weirdness. Shawn asks how she would do that. Jada points out that the situation is a little complicated since Eric was married to Nicole and now Nicole is married to their boss. Shawn assures that Nicole is happily married, so he doesn’t think she needs to worry about anything as he thinks everybody are over it and have moved on. Shawn adds that Nicole and Rafe are still in the middle of newlywed bliss.

Rafe surprises Nicole at the Basic Black office and says she came by to go to dinner yesterday and he couldn’t go, so he’s here to make it up to her and take out his beautiful wife. Nicole responds that she would love that. Rafe asks if she’s sure she can go. Nicole points out that Brady and Chloe left for the day, so she can too. Nicole gets up with a cane instead of her crutches and they kiss.

Brady questions Clyde not wanting to speak to Rafe. Chloe asks what’s going on. Clyde responds that he just can’t. Nancy encourages that if Clyde tells the police what the guy looks like then they will find him and lock him up and Clyde will be a hero. Clyde responds that he is no hero. Nancy pulls Clyde aside and questions what he means. Clyde informs her that when he told her he knew it was stolen when he gave her the bracelet, that wasn’t the whole story. Clyde tells Nancy that he’s sorry, but he has a confession to make.

Leo claims to Chad that he wasn’t in the house. Chad points out that Thomas just pointed at Leo and he took off. Leo repeats that he didn’t see him and claims he’s late for an appointment. Chad grabs Leo and informs him that Thomas told him that he met him in the basement on the day Abigail was murdered and now all of a sudden, things that didn’t make sense are starting to make perfect sense like the day he saw Leo at the park on the day of Abigail’s funeral when he said his heart went out to his children. Chad brings up Leo claiming he didn’t know Thomas but he thinks he met him while hiding in their basement and told him he was the Tooth Fairy. Leo argues that he must be making it up or he’s mistaken. Leo tries to say he’s in a hurry but Chad warns that he’s not going anywhere but the police station.

At the Kiriakis Mansion, Sonny calls Chad and leaves a message, saying he was just thinking about their conversation about him taking the job at Titan. Sonny asks if any part of him is interested because there are plenty of positions and he thinks Chad would be a huge asset to Titan. Sonny adds that it would be a blast to work together as Alex walks in behind Sonny. Sonny remarks that he’s still pretty pissed off at Victor for hiring Alex without telling him. Sonny hangs up as Alex says as long as he’s not pissed off at him. Alex tells Sonny that he’s exhausted from being with HR all day, filling out paper work. Alex asks Sonny if he’s not mad as hell at him for taking over the executive VP job. Sonny assures that he’s not because Victor is the one who went behind his back and Alex was just offered a job and took it. Alex swears he did not lobby for the job and knew it wasn’t cool that Sonny wasn’t part of that discussion. Alex insists that Sonny is Victor’s favorite Kiriakis brother but Sonny argues that he’s not sure about that, bringing up that Victor feels Sonny doesn’t have a killer instinct. Alex feels that’s a good thing. Sonny insists that he’s totally okay with Alex taking the job, but not with being disrespected since Victor pushed so hard for him to be CEO. Sonny complains that he took time away from Will and made this big change in his life but then Victor makes this huge decision behind his back. Alex guesses that Victor figured Sonny wouldn’t mind since they are brothers. Alex then asks if Sonny has an issue working with him.

Rafe brings Nicole to the town square for dinner. Nicole tells him that her ankle is almost 100% and thanks him for letting her lean on him. Nicole calls it so nice to be dining outside on a beautiful summer night. Nicole is glad Rafe was able to get out because she knows how much pressure he’s been feeling at work. Rafe admits it has eased up a bit since Shawn returned from paternity leave and Jada has joined the team. Nicole comments on Jada doing some job since she was with him when he tracked down the guy who robbed her and that had to be really intense. Rafe admits it was as Jake was lying on the ground, fatally wounded, and the guy was ready to shoot Ava but Jada saved her life. Rafe knows a lot of cops would’ve frozen or freaked out in that situation. Rafe states that Jada did the right thing, but was definitely shaken up afterwards since she killed someone in the line of duty. Rafe notes that Jada is struggling with it, but that tells him that she’s a good detective and a good person with a good conscience. Nicole comments that it sounds like she is working out. Rafe adds that he made Jada partners with Shawn and he really likes her. Nicole notes that Eric does too which Rafe questions. Nicole guesses he hasn’t heard, so she informs him that Jada and Eric are dating.

Eric says he had a very good feeling about Belle and Shawn after hearing she went to see him at the police station today. Belle asks how he heard that. Eric informs her that Jada told him. Belle questions how he knows Jada. Eric explains that Steve introduced him to her when she got to Salem and she ended up taking a room above the Brady Pub. Belle notes that Jada seems great and Shawn likes her a lot. Belle jokes that she’s sure Eric also noticed that she’s very attractive. Belle suggests Eric should ask her out.

Nancy questions Clyde saying there’s more to the story about the bracelet that he gave her. Clyde decides it’s time that he told her. Chloe says they want to hear all of it. Clyde explains that when he met the guy in the Pub, he said he had items he was looking to sell and he knew the stuff was hot, so he offered to fence it for him. Clyde says he wanted to give Nancy something special to let her know how much he cares about her. Brady mocks that nothing says “I love you” like stolen jewelry from a murder victim. Clyde argues that he had no idea where he got the jewelry or that he killed anyone to get it. Brady complains about Clyde not wanting to talk to the police. Clyde acknowledges that what he did is a violation of his parole, so if the cops find out, they will send him back to prison.

Chad forcibly brings Leo in to the interrogation room where Shawn questions what is going on. Leo claims that Chad won’t leave him alone and is obsessed with him. Chad tells Shawn that he was in the town square with Thomas and now Thomas is with Jada. Shawn questions what Leo is doing here. Chad declares long story short, he killed his wife.

Brady asks if Clyde is really going to refuse to cooperate with the police when it could lead to Abigail’s killer. Nancy says she knows they are upset. Chloe argues that Nancy should be upset and outraged as Clyde has done nothing but lie to her and now he’s obstructing justice. Nancy says she is upset and she hears her, but asks her to let her have a moment to speak with Clyde about this. Chloe doesn’t see the point but allows it. Nancy reminds Clyde that he promised he wouldn’t lie to her again. Clyde hates what he did but says he can’t go back to prison. Nancy argues that they don’t know for sure that he would. Clyde points out that fencing is a crime. Chloe suggests if he tells Rafe the truth and it helps them catch the killer, maybe they will go easier on him. Clyde argues that even if he gives a description, there’s no guarantee they will catch him as he’s probably long gone by now. Nancy asks if he gave any clue as to who he is. Clyde says no and that all he knows is a wine drinking twerp in a floral print suit. Brady and Chloe then realize that it’s Leo.

Shawn questions Leo killing Abigail. Leo blows it off as an absurd story that Chad’s son told him. Chad explains that Thomas told him that he saw Leo in their basement on the night that Abigail was killed. Leo continues to claim it is ridiculous. Chad adds that when they were in the square, Thomas pointed at Leo and he took off. Chad questions why he would do that if he wasn’t guilty. Leo repeats that he was late to an appointment and claims he didn’t see them, yet Chad dragged him down here against his will and now he’s forced to defend himself against these insane accusations. Chad argues that Leo had motive because he hated Abigail for helping him break up his relationship with Craig. Chad brings up that Leo swore revenge on Sonny, Brady, Chloe, himself, and Abigail was on that hit list. Shawn asks if Leo was in the basement or not. Leo asks how he would even know how to get in there. Chad argues that Leo would figure out a way. Leo flashes back to being in the basement, on the phone with Gwen about getting in to the tunnels. Leo then claims to have no idea about tunnels. Chad grabs Leo and warns that he’s not going to get away with this and if the cops don’t make him pay, he will. Shawn pulls Chad off of Leo while Leo shouts that Chad just threatened his life. Shawn tells Chad to calm down. Chad screams that Leo murdered his wife. Shawn tells Chad to step outside and he’ll be with him in a second, so Chad exits. Shawn orders Leo to sit down and stay while he goes to get the full story from Thomas. Shawn warns Leo that he will have a cop watching him every second so he shouldn’t even think about leaving.

Eric jokes that Belle is always trying to play matchmaker. Belle says she just wants her brother to be happy. Belle asks if Eric is going to say he’s not ready because it’s time. Belle brings up that Nicole is happily married to Rafe now. Eric says this has nothing to do with Nicole. Belle asks why he doesn’t ask Jada out then. Eric then reveals that it’s because they already went to lunch today and it was Jada that invited him out.

Rafe says he had no idea that Eric and Jada were seeing each other and asks how Nicole knew. Nicole explains that when she went to the police station yesterday, she overheard Jada asking Eric to lunch and then when she and Chloe were at the Pub earlier, they saw them together on a date. Rafe says that’s terrific and that he thinks they’ll be a great couple. Rafe then asks Nicole if she doesn’t agree. Nicole says that they don’t know and she just hopes it doesn’t get awkward because Jada is renting a room above the Pub, so they’ll be right down the hall from each other. Rafe questions what the problem is. Nicole says if it doesn’t work out, it might be uncomfortable for both of them. Rafe says hopefully it will work out.

Belle tells Eric that she likes that Jada asked him out and asks how it went. Eric says it was good, they laughed a lot, and had a lot in common like they both like running and dogs and they’ve both been divorced. Eric adds that they both like sushi too. Belle encourages him about their next date and is so glad he’s getting back out there. Belle apologizes for assuming that he didn’t ask Jada out because he was still hung up on Nicole and promises not to jump to conclusions anymore about how he feels because she hates when people do that to her. Belle repeats that she’s glad he’s moving on. Eric responds that he’s glad she’s moving home where she belongs. Belle remembers she has to get going because Shawn is making dinner so Eric says he will help her with her bags.

Brady and Chloe talk about Leo coming by the office earlier, looking for a job and wearing a floral suit. Brady pulls out Leo’s look book and shows it to Clyde, who confirms that Leo is the guy.

Chad, Shawn, and Jada sit with Thomas at the police station to ask him to tell them what he remembers about the guy he saw in the basement. Thomas explains that he and his sister were playing hide and seek which is why he went down in the tunnels. Thomas says he saw a man there and he was scared because he said he was going to lock him up, but then he said he was the Tooth Fairy so he stopped being scared. Thomas asks if the Tooth Fairy is in trouble or if he’s mad at him because he wasn’t supposed to tell that he saw him. Thomas adds that he said it was a secret and he broke his promise. Jada encourages that he didn’t do anything wrong. Thomas points out that he said not to tell anyone, especially his parents, or he wouldn’t get any Tooth Fairy money for the rest of his life. Jada asks if he said anything else. Thomas says he asked him to get him breakfast, so he did. Jada asks if that was it. Thomas says he’s not sure. Chad assures Thomas that he’s been very helpful. Thomas continues to worry about breaking his promise by telling Abigail, Chad, and the police. Thomas cries that he doesn’t want the Tooth Fairy to be in trouble and he doesn’t want to be in trouble either. Jada encourages that no one is in trouble and that he’s doing the right thing. Chad commends Thomas for telling the truth and says Abigail would be very proud. Chad asks if they are done. Shawn says they are set, so he and Jada step away. Chad tells Thomas that it’s time for him to go to bed, so he’s going to call Jennifer to come pick him up. Thomas asks if Chad will be coming home soon. Chad promises to be home in time to tuck him in, but first he’s going to talk to the Tooth Fairy again. Thomas asks Chad to tell him he owes him $50 if he’s not too mad at him. Chad responds that he owes him a lot more than that as he hugs Thomas.

Sonny tells Alex that it’s not that he has an issue working with him. Alex stops him and says he totally gets it. Sonny says he didn’t even answer yet. Alex says he shouldn’t have had to ask but there’s obviously going to be an issue because he’s assertive and confident which can be intimidating. Sonny assures that he’s not intimidated by him and that he has no problem telling him when he’s acting like a total jerk. Sonny adds that Alex is acting like he’s not assertive or confident, when he’s the CEO of the company. Alex apologizes for using the word intimidating but jokes with Sonny about being sensitive. Sonny complains about Alex being condescending. Alex suggests they not fight and asks him to let him explain himself. Alex wants them to be compatible and tells him that he will never steamroll him in this role. Alex states that Sonny is the boss, so he’s deferring to him. Sonny thinks he will have a hard time with that and admits he doesn’t think Alex can handle that. Alex calls Sonny’s attitude really disappointing, arguing that they worked together in the past and it was great. Sonny says that was totally different. Alex insists that he has no problem deferring to Sonny as he knows he’s more than capable of doing this and he loves him as his brother. Alex sees this as a way to make them closer and truly bond. Alex praises Sonny as one of the kindest and funniest people he’s ever met. Alex says he’s looking forward to it but he has to go. Sonny invites him to stay for dinner, but Alex says he has plans and invites him to come with him. Sonny decides to stay home. Alex asks if they are good. Sonny says they are, so they hug. Alex then exits the mansion.

Brady asks Clyde if he’s sure that’s the guy. Clyde responds that there’s no doubt in his mind. Nancy asks if Clyde knows who that is. Clyde asks who. Nancy reveals that it’s Leo Stark, the weasel that her husband left her for and the con artist that Craig almost married. Nancy declares that their weasels are the same.

Chad tells Shawn that he wants Leo arrested now. Shawn responds that they have to follow procedure, so if they get what they need then they can place Leo under arrest. Chad argues that he heard that Thomas just said he saw Leo in the basement and that he told him to keep it a secret. Chad questions what more they need. Shawn says they need to bring Rafe up to speed. Chad says to get him then but Jada points out that Rafe is gone for the day. Chad says that after his wife was murdered, he stood in that room and Rafe told him that he wouldn’t stop until the killer was found and now they found him, so Rafe is going to get the hell back here now. Chad then calls Rafe.

Rafe and Nicole look over the menu for dinner but Rafe gets Chad’s call. Chad tells Rafe that he’s at the police station with Abigail’s killer and tells him to just get down there. Rafe responds that he’s on his way. Nicole asks if everything is okay. Rafe says it appears there’s a development in Abigail’s case so he has to go. Nicole assures that she understands and will see him at home. Rafe kisses her and says he loves her as he then exits.

Shawn, Jada, and Chad return to their interrogation room where Leo assumes that they are there to apologize and let him go but Shawn says no and that he will be here for awhile. Leo questions them actually believing a kid. Leo says he won’t press charges against Chad for threatening him or demand Thomas retract his lies and they can chalk this up to a misunderstanding. Shawn informs Leo that Rafe is on his way to question him, so Leo is not going anywhere until he answers them.

Eric and Jada run in to each other outside the Pub. They joke about running into each other like this. Jada mentions just coming from work and she thinks they may have got a break in the Abigail DiMera case. Eric says that’s great and understands she can’t discuss an ongoing investigation. Eric suggests they talk about something else and asks her to dinner if that’s okay. Jada says that’s two dates in one day and accepts as they head in to the Pub together. Nicole comes around the corner and sees them going in to the Pub.

Belle goes home and hopes she’s not late. Shawn says she’s right on time as the grill is fired up, so he figured while he cooks, she can check out her garden. Belle says that sounds really nice. Shawn welcomes her home. Belle says it’s good to be home.

Brady and Chloe talk about how they can’t believe Leo killed Abigail. Chloe questions if Leo is really a murderer. Brady says the thought never occurred to him, but reminds Chloe that Leo blamed Abigail just as much as them for ruining his relationship with Craig, so he was furious at her. Chloe questions if Leo was furious enough to murder her. Brady guesses they will see.

Rafe arrives at the police station and sits down with Leo, noting that his detectives have filled him in. Leo argues that Thomas is a child with a very active imagination. Chad warns Leo about calling his kid a liar again. Leo asks why Chad is here. Chad says it’s to make sure the animal who killed his wife is put down. Rafe goes over Thomas saying he saw Leo in the DiMera Basement. Leo argues that Thomas said he saw the Tooth Fairy and calls it outrageous. Leo complains that he has been harassed, detained, and slandered so he doesn’t have to take it anymore. Leo decides he’s out of here. Chad orders Rafe to read Leo his rights but Rafe says he’s afraid he can’t do that because he doesn’t have enough to hold him, let alone arrest him. Leo thanks him. Chad argues that Rafe can’t just let him go. Leo says he can and will because he knows the law. Rafe points out that he doesn’t want to hold Leo without enough to make future charges stick as it could end up blowing up in their faces later. Chad argues that if he lets Leo go, he will disappear and they’ll never see him again. Rafe responds that without anyone or anything backing up what Thomas said, he can’t keep him here. Rafe assures he wants the case solved as much as Chad does, but he doesn’t have enough to implicate Leo or the testimony of a witness. Nancy and Clyde then arrive with Clyde declaring that he does now.

Young & The Restless Update

Recap written by Christine

Adam approached Abby at Society and said it’d been awhile. She noted that he was here yesterday, and he said he meant it had been awhile since they talked. She was surprised he was supporting Society since he’d cut ties with anything Newman. He loved the food, and he said that his issues with their father had nothing to do with him and her. She agreed, and she offered him food on the house. He asked her to join him for a conversation. She knew all along that he had an agenda in starting this discussion. She asked what he wanted to talk about, and he said Ashland’s death.

Abby sat with Adam at the bar. He asked what she knew about Ashland’s death. She didn’t know much more than anyone else. Adam said he’d suspected something terrible could happen, but he didn’t expect Ashland to die. Abby didn’t shed tears for Ashland. She just hoped Victoria got closure. Adam did too. He hadn’t talked to Victoria, because he didn’t think his condolences would be welcome. He asked Abby if their sister seemed okay. Abby only talked to Victoria over the phone, but it had been rough. Adam noted that Victor didn’t seem too broken up over it. Abby didn’t expect Victor to mourn Ashland after what he put their family through.

Abby didn’t want to ever hear Ashland’s name again. Adam thought that was unlikely since Chance was investigating his death. He guessed that put her in a difficult position. She asked why he’d say that. He told her that he’d talked to Chance, and he knew Chance had his doubts about the so-called car accident. She asked for more details on what Chance said. Adam stated that Chance had been tight-lipped, but to Adam, it was telling that Chance was even investigating. He told her that Chance brought Kevin into the investigation too, so she wouldn’t be betraying any confidence by admitting there was more to the story. She reiterated that she didn’t know much. Adam claimed that, like Abby, he was worried the nightmare of Ashland wasn’t over for the people she loved. Abby told Adam that she could see he was fishing for information, and she wasn’t going to give it to him. Adam got the feeling that no one in the family had told Abby anything. “You’re just as much on the outside as I am,” Adam contended. He told her that they should team up and pass on anything they heard to each other. He asked if it was a deal, and she didn’t reply.

Victoria and Chance bumped into each other at Crimson Lights. They talked, and he asked how her night was. She said she and the kids couldn’t sleep. He was sorry. He was sure the kids were feeling the loss of Ashland. He said when you were investigating a death, sometimes you forgot how many people it affected. Victoria said Ashland wasn’t well-liked, and he left behind a lot of grief and pain, which Chance’s investigation wasn’t helping. He knew it might seem heartless, but he was just doing his job. She understood and said she wasn’t intimidated by him. Nothing would make him feel better than to close the investigation. She asked why he didn’t do so, then.

Chance said he couldn’t just drop an investigation. Victoria said Chance had this notion that Victor orchestrated a fake car accident. She claimed she had no idea why Victor would do that. She noted that Chance had done a lot of work to support this theory, but he had no evidence to back it up. She wondered where this was headed – if Chance thought Ashland was dead before he got into the car, did he intend to go after Victor for obstruction, or was he disputing Nick’s account that he hit Ashland in self-defense? She theorized that Chance couldn’t accept that Ashland’s death was an accident. Victoria asked if Chance was planning to charge Nick with murder. Just then, Nick walked in.

Victoria brought Nick up to speed. She said Chance claimed he was on their side, but now it seemed like he was trying to prove a crime was committed. Chance believed Victoria and Nick were acting in good faith when they called him that night. He also believed that Nick never intended to harm Ashland and that whatever happened was an accident. Chance said the more defiant Nick and Victoria were, the more certain he was that they knew what happened and they were covering for their father. Nick said no one wanted Ashland to die, but he wasn’t a good person, and he set this all in motion when he terrorized Victoria. Nick was glad he was there that night to protect his sister – Abby’s sister, and he’d do it again in a heartbeat. He said when he and Victoria heard about Ashland being found in a ravine, they had no reason to believe he didn’t get up and drive away. Nick said Ashland’s death was accidental. Abby called Chance and they agreed to meet up at the park. After Chance left, Nick said he had nightmares about Ashland every night. He thought it was like Ashland’s final revenge. Victoria thought Chance wanted to help them. Nick was skeptical, and Victoria explained that Chance had seemed more sympathetic before Nick arrived. She believed Chance would do the right thing, which was to side with the family. Nick wasn’t so sure. He thought they should go to the ranch and tell Victor about their run in with Chance.

Sally had a firm discussion with an employee by phone. She needed some data to show the big advertisers she was meeting with next week. She insisted that they get her the numbers ASAP. When she looked up, she saw Victor standing in her office. Sally was surprised it took him so long to stop by. He’d been preoccupied. She knew he wished this office was Adam’s. He was disappointed she wasn’t able to convince Adam to stay on board. She’d hoped Adam would stay on too, but he made it clear this job wasn’t a good fit, and he felt the same way about their relationship. She was grateful Victoria and Nick gave her a chance. She was determined to prove she deserved the opportunity.

Victor was pleased with how Sally handled the Ashland Locke story. He assumed she knew more details than were included in the police report. He said she’d handled the story with great restraint and discretion, and he encouraged her to follow those instincts. He said she had the opportunity to build something – businesses weren’t just about money and power. She thought those things were important. He agreed, but he said he didn’t build businesses just for money and power – he also built them for a lasting legacy. He stated that she had some important decisions to make in the future, and he hoped she’d prove herself and stay in this position. She said thanks, but then she asked if that was a compliment or warning. He smiled and left.

Adam showed up at Sally’s office, and she asked if he’d reconsidered cutting ties with Newman. He said absolutely not. He was hoping to find out what trouble Victor had gotten the family into with regard to Ashland. Sally aid she hadn’t heard anything about Victor being involved the accident. She theorized that he was jumping the gun because he wanted to paint his father in the worst possible light. She found it presumptuous of him to ask her to help. He asked if she was siding with his dad because he signed her checks. She said there were no sides, there was just the truth. He told her she already admitted she had insider information about the crash from Nick. He asked if she’d like to share that with him. She reminded him she already turned down that request. She was glad that he put her in the position to tell him he was pathetic for trying again. He conceded that he hurt her, but he said their relationship had run its course. He thought she should be grateful he ended things, since she got to keep her job. She reminded him that she said she didn’t want the job if that was how she needed to get it.

Adam offered to pay Sally for her intel. She said she had plenty of money now that she was the CEO. He suggested he give her a favor. She said she’d tell him what he wanted to know if he finally admitted the sole reason he broke up with her was to get her the job and that he still loved her. He told her that was ludicrous. Chloe walked in and was unhappy to see Adam. Chloe had something important to discuss with Sally, so Adam said he’d be in touch, and he left. Chloe was disgusted by the hope and longing she saw in Sally’s eyes. Sally didn’t apologize for having feelings. Chloe noted that they’d just talked about how Adam didn’t deserve Sally’s emotional bandwidth. Chloe asked why Sally would sacrifice a drop of success for another chance with Adam.

Sally said she and Adam were just having a business negotiation. She shared the details with Chloe. Chloe thought Sally was playing with fire. Sally said she was in control, and she wasn’t ignoring how Adam broke her heart. She wanted the truth from Adam, and she wanted to know she wasn’t crazy to think they had something real. Chloe understood Sally wanting closure. Sally said wasn’t trying to get Adam back, she just wanted to relieve herself of the self doubt. Chloe asked about Sally’s willingness to sell out Nick. Sally said she was planning to lie to Adam, once he came clean, and say that she didn’t know anything about Ashland. Chloe was glad she came in before Sally had a chance to set that plan in motion. She said Sally couldn’t lie to Adam about that, because he’d be furious, and he’d make it his life’s mission to make Sally regret it. Sally thought Chloe was exaggerating.

Sally said that after what Adam did to her, he’d have no right to be mad at her for playing him. Chloe said Adam wasn’t a rational person. Sally said Chloe had a history with Adam, and she’d always see him through a certain lens, but he’d changed. Chloe said Adam appeared to have changed, but he’d done it before, and he always reverted back to who he was. Chloe knew Sally heard the stories, but she said until Sally experienced Adam at his worst, she’d never truly understand what he was capable of. Chloe told Sally to forget Adam stopped by, forget this dangerous plan, forget Adam all together.

At the park, Chance asked Abby what was going on. She knew he wasn’t supposed to talk about ongoing investigations, but she needed to know what was going on with Ashland’s accident. She said that Nikki acted weird yesterday, she hadn’t been able to reach Victor, and Nick and Victoria weren’t telling her anything. Oddly enough, the only member of the Newman family who’d have a real conversation with her was Adam. He promised to tell her everything as soon as they closed the case. She begged him to tell her something now. She had a sick feeling in her stomach. He was sorry he’d upset her. He didn’t want to burden her while he was piecing things together, but he was at a crossroads now. He decided to share some confidential information with her, and he warned her it wouldn’t be easy to hear.

Chance told Abby his theory that Nick killed Ashland in self-defense and Victor took it upon himself to cover it up with a staged car accident to protect Nick and Victoria. Chance said that he thought Victoria and Nick later found out what Victor did, and they were protecting him. Abby said this was unbelievable. Chance asked if it really was. Abby admitted this was a move out of Victor’s playbook, but she reminded Chance that he said he didn’t have concrete proof. He was sure he could find something if he kept digging. She asked if he was going to to that. He told her that Victoria said the same thing – that he could walk away and close the case. Chance said Victor committed a crime, and he couldn’t just let a criminal walk away. But he knew this wasn’t just another case, because this was Abby’s family. He asked her opinion on what he should do.

Abby stated that Ashland was a monster who wreaked havoc on the whole town and who may have killed Victoria if Nick didn’t stop him. She didn’t condone what her father did, but she understood it. He asked if she wanted him to back off. She thought that was a decision he had to make on his own. She didn’t want him to come to resent her for convincing him to close the case. He loved her and how open and honest they could be with each other. Adam came up and saw Abby and Chance kiss. Abby had to go, because she and Dominic had a Mommy and Me class. As soon as she left, Adam went up to Chance. Adam offered sympathy about the difficult position Chance was in, caught between his wife’s family and his need to uncover the truth. Chance wanted Adam to get to the point. Adam said Victor was skilled at cover-ups, so Chance would have a hard time getting the facts of the case. Adam knew all Victor’s tricks, and he said he’d help with the case, if Chance let him into the investigation.

Nick and Victoria went to the ranch, and they were surprised when it seemed like Victor had been expecting them. He said he had an interesting conversation with Nikki last night, and she told him about Ashland’s body being moved from Victoria’s house and ending up in the ravine. Only about a half a dozen people knew about this, and he didn’t want Nikki to find out about it. Nick noted that Victor had tried to keep all of them in the dark. Victor said he’d been trying to protect them all. He said Nikki never would’ve known if Victoria didn’t tell her. Victoria contended that Nikki already knew Victor was hiding something. Victor maintained that Victoria shouldn’t have told Nikki. Furthermore, he felt that Nick was wrong to tell Victoria. Nick said Victoria had a right to know. Victoria said Nikki did too. Victor said Nick, Victoria and Nikki were all in danger now because they’d become accessories to the crime. Nick argued that Victor should have thought of that before he put this plan in motion. Victor told Nick not to be a wise-ass. He said he did what he did on the spur of the moment to protect his family. He griped that he was being attacked instead of appreciated.

Victoria said no one was attacking Victor – they were all just trying to get on the same page. Nick said they had a run-in with Chance and he wasn’t going to let it go. Victoria said Chance’s theory was pretty close to the truth. Victor didn’t give a damn about Chance’s theory, since there was no way he could substantiate it. Victor said Ashland died in the ravine, period. Nick asked what they should do. Victor said they were to do nothing, just present a united front. He thought that Chance would eventually move on, and they could put this tragic chapter behind them.

Update written by Joseph

Clyde works at the Brady Pub. Nancy comes in and jokes that she loves a man who doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty. Clyde tells her that his shift is almost over and suggests she get them a table to have dinner but Nancy says she has a better idea and suggests they have dinner with Chloe and Brady, unless he doesn’t think they should. Clyde reminds her that Chloe hates his guts.

Brady joins Chloe at the Basic Black office. Chloe talks about having to make her proposal perfect so she doesn’t give Kristen another reason to write her up since that petty bitch could come walking through the door at any moment. Leo then walks in and asks who she is calling petty.

Xander and Sarah agree that Ava and Gwen must be working together. Sarah wonders what to do now. Xander says they have to get Ava to admit that she helped Gwen escape from prison on the night that Abigail was murdered and that she knew Gwen was going to kill Abigail and frame Sarah for it. Sarah worries about doing that but Xander feels it might not be that difficult since Gwen and Ava are business partners, not chums, and Ava already rolled on Gwen once before. Xander believes he can make Ava throw Gwen under the bus one last time.

At the DiMera Mansion, Gwen tells Ava that she did not kill Abigail but she had motive so it won’t look good for either of them if the cops find out she had opportunity. Ava questions if Gwen is threatening her after she went out of her way to do her a favor. Gwen points out that it would be in their mutual interest for both of them to keep their mouths shut. Ava assures that her secret is safe with her. EJ then walks in to the room and asks if he’s interrupting. Ava says not at all since it is his house. Ava introduces Gwen to EJ. Gwen says they have met. EJ doesn’t remember that. Gwen says she’s not surprised as it was quite a long time ago and he barely even recognized that she was in the room as he was so focused on getting his million dollars back from Xander.

Xander tells Sarah that he’s going to have a word with Ava since he knows she just moved in to the DiMera Mansion. Sarah warns that he has to be prepared since Ava isn’t stupid and will just deny everything. Xander says he’ll just show her the copies of the visitor logs and phone records, so they can prove that Ava and Gwen were in contact before and after Abigail’s murder. Sarah argues that they don’t know what they talked about and all they have is a theory. Xander assures that he will lean on her until she folds. Sarah admires his confidence but warns that Ava is as tough as nails, so he has to have proof. Xander reluctantly agrees. Sarah reminds him that Ava isn’t the only person Gwen spoke to that day as there is also her good friend Leo Stark.

Brady questions what Leo is doing at Basic Black. Leo calls it a social call as he thought he’d save their asses by saving their company. Brady asks how he’s going to do that. Leo then presents a book.

Clyde knows Nancy wants Chloe and Brady to like him but nothing has changed. Nancy points out that they are living together now and that doesn’t mean she’s going to stop trying to change their minds about him. Clyde points out that she can’t change that he has a prison record and that they are living together because he needed a place to stay or else he’s violating his parole and she graciously offered when Ben and his family left town. Nancy clarifies that she was happy to do it. Clyde says that means more to her than she knows. Nancy thinks they are pretty compatible in many ways, even as roomies. Clyde calls her a really great friend to him, more than anyone else has ever been as it seems like she always has his back, even when he’s accused of murder.

Jennifer offers to take Thomas to the town square for frozen yogurt but Thomas doesn’t want to go and tells her about a loose tooth. Chad arrives so Thomas runs away and goes upstairs. Jennifer questions what just happened. Chad responds that Thomas hates him and it’s own fault. Jennifer encourages that he doesn’t but Chad says he wouldn’t blame him if he did since he lost his temper with him yesterday. Jennifer encourages that all parents do that but Chad says not under these circumstances. Jennifer doesn’t want to upset him further but informs him that last night, Thomas was worried when Chad didn’t come home. Chad says he should’ve called. Jennifer adds that she and Jack were worried too. Chad admits he got a little drunk last night and crashed at Sonny’s. Jennifer says she knows as Sonny texted her and she told Thomas, but he was still scared. Chad questions why. Jennifer tells Chad that his son is afraid that he’s going to leave him the way his mother did.

Nancy sits with Clyde and reminds him that she told him when they met that she believes everybody deserves a second chance. Clyde says that meant the world to him. Nancy wanted him to stop being so hard on himself since he did his time and paid his debt which is why she felt so bad when he got arrested. Clyde admits it was rough but it all worked out and now he’s with her and couldn’t be more grateful. Nancy is sure that the man who sold Clyde that stolen bracelet is the one who killed Abigail, insisting that it has to be him. Clyde agrees and wishes he could’ve given the cops a better description of the little weasel. Clyde declares that he would’ve been the hero now as the guy who brought the killer to justice.

Brady asks Leo what the hell he’s doing here. Chloe questions his book. Leo responds that he saw their ad online for a brand and he’s a living, breathing brand on his own who is between gigs, he thought he would give them first dibs on his services. Leo thought he could bring some color to Basic Black. Brady tells him that they are busy. Chloe tells him to go away and questions his book. Leo says it’s a look book and that he put it together to give her an idea of his vision. Chloe goes through it and sees it’s only pictures of Leo. Leo feels there’s no question that he could bring fab to the drab at Basic Black. Chloe asks Brady if they should call security but Brady says he can throw Leo out himself. Leo questions the hostility. Chloe argues that they all know he’s not here for a job. Brady says they aren’t stupid and that all Leo wants to do is stab them in the back.

Sarah and Xander talk about Gwen calling Leo on the day of the murder as well. Xander doesn’t see Leo killing anyone and notes that Lucas didn’t say anything about seeing Sarah in drag running down the stairs. Sarah asks if Xander thinks it was Gwen then. Xander responds that Leo is just a con man, but Gwen will clearly do whatever it takes to get what she wants. Xander can’t believe that Gwen convinced him that she changed. Sarah encourages him to stop beating himself up as he couldn’t have known. Xander says he chose to ignore the signs. Sarah understands that Xander had been hurt so badly by her and needed to love again. Xander argues that he wasn’t hurt by Sarah, but by that monster Kristen DiMera. Xander says that Sarah has just made him happier than he’s ever deserved to be. Sarah encourages that he deserves to be happy and loved. Sarah wants him to give himself more credit since he saw through Gwen eventually. Xander says they both know Gwen wouldn’t have gone near Sarah if he hadn’t been so stupid.

EJ remembers Gwen as Xander’s mistress. Gwen responds that they aren’t together anymore which EJ calls a point in her favor. EJ remarks that any friend of his late brother’s wife is welcome in this house. EJ is sure Gwen is a great comfort to Ava. Gwen remarks that she certainly tries to be. EJ invites Gwen to stay for drinks and dinner. Ava calls that generous but thinks it’s too late to add another person to the table. EJ says they are very adaptable and asks Gwen to stay. Gwen agrees to stay, so EJ says he will go shower and change, then they can get to know each other a little better. EJ then adds that they can get around to discussing the secret that Ava seems to be keeping for her.

Chad questions Thomas thinking he left him for good. Jennifer tells him that he was panicking and that she reassured him, but it was a rough night for him. Chad apologizes. Jennifer didn’t want to tell him but thought he needed to know. Chad agrees. Jennifer hates to cause him more pain. Chad says he’s not worried about his pain, but about his son. Chad says his son just wants his mom back and he has no clue what to say to him. Jennifer says that none of them can make this okay but they can all go through this together. Jennifer advises that you can’t always be wise and wonderful for your kids but you can be there. Chad knows he’s a mess right now and last night, he wanted to feel nothing. Chad declares that he’s filled with nothing but rage. Jennifer understands that. Chad admits he was just too ashamed to face his kids last night because they didn’t need their drunken father stumbling around. Chad states that he’s doing his best to keep it together, but admits he’s falling apart. Jennifer hugs Chad as he questions what they are supposed to do without Abigail.

Clyde suggests Nancy just take Chloe and Brady out by herself. Nancy argues that they are a couple now, so Chloe has to accept that. Clyde suggests they could get takeout, stay home, and watch some lady wrestling. Nancy jokes that she’ll put him in a hammerlock to get her way. Nancy believes that once Clyde spends some time with Chloe and Brady, they will learn to love him like she does. Clyde then questions if he just heard her say that she loves him. Nancy claims that she doesn’t know what she said and points out that he’ll have to change his shirt before they go out to dinner. Clyde jokes that he does clean up pretty nice. Nancy suggests he go home and shower, then put on the new shirt that she bought him. Nancy says she will go pick up Chloe and Brady, then she will text him where to meet them for dinner.

Chloe brings up that Leo told Nancy that she was on some list of his, so she questions why they’d be dumb enough to hire him after that. Leo claims that he only said that because Nancy made him so mad. Chloe argues that he’s still mad, so if they hired him, he’d run the company in to the ground. Leo asks why he would do that. Brady reminds him that he made it clear that he intended to get even with anyone who came between he and Craig. Leo admits that’s true, but claims he changed his mind and decided to be the bigger person by letting that all go. Leo asks them to let bygones be bygones. Chloe questions why he would even want to work here. Leo says he has to eat. Brady calls him unbelievable. Leo feels he’s unique and his designs for Basic Black would be too. Leo asks if they should talk salary. Chloe tells him to get out. Leo calls them so tiresome. Leo then declares that he will start his own brand and bury them as he then exits the office.

Xander and Sarah go over how Gwen killed her own sister and framed Sarah for it because she wanted Sarah out of the way, so she could have another shot with Xander. Xander declares that’s why he’s going to be the one to make sure that her plan blows up in her face. Sarah notes that the one thing about Gwen that she understands is risking everything to be with him. Sarah says she is back to herself because they are really together. Xander encourages that she did all the hard work. Sarah says they make a really great team. Sarah asks if they have to go confront Ava right this minute. Xander agrees to put it off for a bit as they kiss.

Gwen worries to Ava about EJ hearing them talking. Ava notes that EJ is desperate to get rid of her and now he’ll have just what he needs if he figures out that she helped Gwen escape. Gwen asks why he wants to get rid of her. Ava says it’s because she just inherited Jake’s shares of DiMera Enterprises. Gwen notes that EJ is going to want answers when he gets back. Ava tells her that they are going to need to come up with another really big secret, fast.

Jennifer brings Thomas back to the living room to Chad. Chad apologizes for not coming home last night and acknowledges that it was wrong to yell at him. Chad tries to explain that he wasn’t mad and says he’s just mad at the world. Thomas says he is too. Chad states that they are both mad and sad because Abigail is gone and they both miss her very much and would do anything for her to come back. Chad talks about how Abigail was great at making him feel better. Chad offers to show him old pictures and says he wants to be good at coming up with great ideas like she was, but he doesn’t think he has it in him right now. Chad says he can’t but maybe Thomas has an idea. Thomas responds that maybe it would make Chad feel better if he could make him feel better. Chad calls that the best idea he’s ever heard. Chad talks about how much Thomas and Charlotte remind him of Abigail and he loves them. Thomas then hugs Chad. Jennifer watches on in tears.

Brady tells Chloe that he can’t believe Leo just walked in, expecting a job. Chloe goes through Leo’s books and admits that some of his designs are really good. Brady mocks the suit that Leo was wearing. Chloe acknowledges that Leo definitely has his own style but shows Brady some photos from the book and says it’s actually different and she likes it. Nancy then walks in and questions why they are looking at pictures of that horrible man.

Leo sits at the Bistro with a drink, complaining that Chloe and Brady wouldn’t know a good design if it hit them in the face. Clyde then appears and declares that’s exactly what he should do to him.

Nancy complains that Chloe and Brady are looking at pictures of the man who destroyed her marriage. Chloe tells her that it’s not what she thinks. Nancy argues that Leo ruined her life and then stayed in Salem to rub her nose in it. Chloe says that’s why she wants nothing to do with him. Nancy says she knows a look book when she sees one. Brady confirms that Leo came in, asking for a job. Nancy can’t believe the nerve of him. Chloe says that’s why they threw him out. Brady adds that if he had a baseball bat, Leo would’ve been crawling out with two broken legs.

Clyde sits with Leo and says he’s been looking for him and the cops would be too if he gave them a better description, but he doesn’t think he’ll forget his face now. Leo says their last association was mutually beneficial and offers to buy Clyde a drink. Clyde grabs Leo and warns that he almost took a murder charge because of him but luckily, he had an alibi. Clyde gets the feeling Leo won’t be half as lucky as he was.

Chad asks about the frozen yogurt that Thomas and Jennifer were talking about. Jennifer suggests Thomas and Chad go get it together. Chad invites Jennifer to come with them but she thinks they need a boys night out. Chad says it’s up to Thomas. Thomas agrees that it sounds fun so he and Chad exit together as Jennifer smiles.

EJ returns to the living room and tells Gwen that Harold said it was no problem to set another place at the table for her. EJ pours them drinks and toasts to family and new friends. EJ says he’s eager to know all about the secret Gwen and Ava are keeping and he can’t help but wonder if it has anything to do with Abigail.

Nancy suggests not mentioning Leo anymore since it just makes her queasy. Brady mentions that he was just about to try to convince Chloe to go get something to eat and invites Nancy to join them. Nancy responds that the funny thing is that she came to ask them to join her and Clyde for dinner tonight. Nancy asks them to please say yes because whether they like him or not, Clyde Weston is the new man in her life. Nancy declares that Clyde makes her happy and she just wants to share that with the people she loves. Chloe brings up Clyde living with her now, which Nancy confirms. Nancy remarks that she didn’t think she needed to ask her permission. Chloe says she doesn’t and if Clyde is the man in her life, then she will gladly go to dinner with them and try to focus on the fact that Clyde makes her happy. Brady adds that if Chloe is good with it, then he’s in, so they all exit together.

Xander brings Sarah room service in bed. Sarah tells him that she developed an appetite for something entirely different as they kiss in bed.

Ava questions why Gwen would have a secret involving Abigail. EJ asks if Gwen can answer that. Gwen sees that EJ has figured her out. EJ says he didn’t put it together until after he left the room that Gwen is the daughter Jack didn’t know he fathered, who returned to Salem with a desire to get even. Gwen calls that a long time ago. EJ says he wasn’t in Salem when Gwen seduced his brother and tried to ruin his marriage which Gwen admits to. Gwen says she was very angry back then but luckily, she was able to see the harm she had caused and made peace with Abigail long before she died. Gwen says her heart goes out to Chad because she knows how devastated he is over the loss of his wife.

Chad and Thomas have frozen yogurt together in the town square. Thomas’s tooth comes out and Chad talks about how long they have been waiting for. Thomas asks Chad to hold onto it for him and points out that Abigail used to, so he’s going to have to do some of the stuff that she did. Chad responds that he would be happy to and promises to guard it with his life. Thomas asks if the Tooth Fairy knows they are Jennifer’s house now. Chad assures that the Tooth Fairy is very smart and will find him. Thomas then mentions that the Tooth Fairy is a he.

Leo argues that Clyde is looking at him like he killed Abigail. Clyde tells him to tell it to the cops. Leo questions if they need to involve the cops in this. Leo reminds Clyde that he’s on parole while he just spent a certain amount of time on the wrong side of the law himself. Clyde points out that he’s been cleared. Leo brings up Clyde having the stolen jewelry of a murder victim. Clyde says he’ll take his chances. Leo tells him to at least let him finish his wine. Clyde tells him to drink up because they won’t be serving where he’s going. Leo then instead throws his wine in Clyde’s face and runs away.

Xander and Sarah lay in bed together, agreeing that the last time they were this happy was the night before their wedding. Sarah says the meds are working, her hallucinations have diminished, and she’s back with the man she loves. Xander says he’s soon to be her devoted husband which Sarah says will make her even happier than she is now as they kiss. Sarah declares that first, they have unfinished business to attend to. Xander agrees that they must make Ava cough up what she knows about Gwen.

Gwen asks EJ if Chad and the kids will be at dinner. EJ says no as they are staying with Jack and Jennifer. EJ points out that they still haven’t told him their secret. Ava then tells EJ that it’s about Xander because Gwen wants him back. Gwen says it’s true as she thought it was a lost cause, but now that Lucas said he saw Sarah in the house on the day that Abigail was murdered, then maybe she still has a chance. EJ guesses she hasn’t heard that Sarah might have an alibi. Gwen brings up what Lucas said. EJ says he and Lucas have a long history. EJ calls Lucas a liar, so as soon as he heard he implicated Sarah, he knew she hadn’t done it so someone else killed Abigail. EJ then goes to check on dinner. Gwen can’t believe Ava told EJ that she’s pining after Xander. Ava says they had to tell EJ something and the best lies have a grain of truth to them. Gwen questions it being a good idea for Ava to be living in the same house with the man who is out to get her. Ava tells her not to worry about it as she knows how to handle EJ DiMera.

Nancy brings Chloe and Brady to the Bistro where they find Clyde wiping his eyes with a towel. Nancy questions what happened. Clyde reveals that he just ran in to the guy who sold him Abigail’s bracelet. Brady asks where the hell he is. Clyde responds that he knew he was onto him, so he threw a drink in his face and ran out.

Chad questions Thomas saying that he saw the Tooth Fairy in the basement of the DiMera Mansion and that it was a man. Chad wants Thomas not to go down there again because those tunnels are not the safest place for a little kid, especially by themselves. Thomas points out that he wasn’t by himself because the Tooth Fairy was there and he told Abigail about it. Leo then walks by, so Thomas tells Chad that he can ask the Tooth Fairy himself because there he is.

Nikki: Well, this is a pleasant surprise.

Abby: Hi.

Nikki: Hi, sweetheart. What brings you by?

Abby: I was hoping to see victoria.

Nikki: Ah, she’s still at the office. Let’s sit.

Abby: Thanks. Yeah, I’ve reached out to her several times since ashland’s death, and I haven’t gotten much of a response.

Nikki: Oh, I’m sure she appreciates her concern. She’s been so busy dealing with everything at newman, but I can assure you that she is being very strong.

Abby: I’m not surprised. She’s the toughest person i know.

Nikki: Yeah, well, ashland’s death was a shock, of course, but I doubt many tears will be shed over him. We are hoping to put that behind us very soon.

Abby: Yeah, I-I… I just wish that chance wasn’t so determined to cross every “t” and dot every “I.”

[ Sighs ] I’m sure this will all be over soon. I mean, what’s left to investigate?

Devon: Okay, well, I was just calling to make sure that you landed safely, but do you want to let me know when you’ve spoken to naya’s doctor? Okay. I love you. Bye-bye.

Elena: Hey.

Devon: Hey.

Elena: Sorry. I hope I’m not interrupting.

Devon: No, not at all.

Elena: I was hoping I could ask you a question.

Devon: Okay.

Elena: It’s a personal question…about nate.

Imani: [ Sighs ] Nate.

Nate: Hey. I thought you’d be on your way to see your mom by now. I know amanda’s gone. When’s your flight?

Imani: Later tonight. But I keep forgetting the exact time. Hopefully, I could remember to head to the airport. I’m just an emotional mess right now.

Nate: That’s completely understandable, given your circumstances. Just relax. Give yourself a break. I know this is hard, but you’ll get through it.

Imani: Thank you, nate. That’s exactly what I needed to hear. You always know how to make me feel better. I’m going to miss not being able to lean on you while I’m gone.

Kyle: Hello, newlyweds. Thanks for inviting me to hang. Tessa, I heard your recovery was going smoothly, but I’m glad to see it for myself. You look great.

Voice app: Thanks, but i can’t wait to stop sounding like gps directions.

[ Both laugh ]

Mariah: Tessa is still resting her voice, but I’m not going to lie. I think I’m kind of starting to like it. I mean, the computer automated voice, it’s kind of sounding a little sexy to me, if you know what I mean.

Kyle: Glad to see you’re keeping your sense of humor.

Mariah: Well, you know, if you don’t laugh, you cry.

[ Chuckles ] But in other news, how’s harrison doing.

Kyle: So far, I think he’s handling ashland’s death pretty well, although I’m not sure he understands what happened.

Mariah: And you?

Kyle: I’m okay. Working on the marchetti relaunch. Pretty exciting.

Voice app: Oh, no, you’re not changing the subject that easily.

Diane: Hello, summer. Always good to see you.

Summer: Diane.

Diane: Kyle told me about phyllis coming to work for marchetti. I have to say, it was quite a surprise to hear that your mother would want to make such a gigantic career move. But I want to make it clear that it won’t be a problem. At least not on my end.

Billy: You can’t be serious. Hiring adam at jabot, of all people. I can’t tell you how ill-advised that is, and I can’t be the only family member to think that way.

Jack: I really don’t think hiring adam is is risky as you’re making it out to be.

Billy: Jack, I know you, but this is far too cavalier.

Jack: I believe in his abilities. Besides, he knows I’m going to be watching his every move. He’s not going to do anything crazy.

Billy: Which means he’s going to work twice as hard not to get caught.

Jack: His entire tenure at newman media was devoid of scandal. He built that into a very profitable enterprise. He would never have left if victor hadn’t jerked him around.

Billy: Right, and now he’s upset that he’s not in the top spot, which means, once again, as always, he’s got an ax to grind.

Jack: No, he’s looking for a fresh start, somewhere that he won’t be constantly competing with victoria. He knows he can trust me to treat him fairly.

Billy: Did you run this by ashley?

Jack: Yeah, she’ll be fine with it eventually. Look, she’s spending almost all of her time in paris, anyway. When she’s here, she’s focused on the lab, and that is out of his purview.

Billy: Oh, yeah, adam is no chemist, but yet he still finds himself in situations and makes them combustible.

Jack: I really think you’re making too much of this.

Billy: And I don’t think you’re taking this seriously enough. That man does not know any boundaries. Jack, you give him an inch and he will take the company.

Jack: Thank you for your input, billy. I am very comfortable with my decision. Besides, it isn’t like I haven’t offered you similar lifelines in the past.

Billy: No, that is true. And how many of those have worked out? And I’m your brother.

Jack: You seemed fine with giving diane another chance.

Billy: Well, some people deserve another chance, and some absolutely don’T.

[ Sighs ] Coverage, care, get it all.

Devon: I’m probably not the best person to talk to you about nate right now.

Elena: I guess I’m just trying to get a sense of the work dynamic here, because I can tell that nate is kind of having a hard time. And I know he would hate me broaching this subject with you.

Devon: Well, that’s probably all the more reason not to go there at all, then, right?

Elena: Yeah, but I can’t help but be concerned. I’m guessing that he still feels a little touchy about discussing the situation with me because of my history with you.

Devon: You think that’s still an issue?

Elena: Maybe. And I’m not trying to interfere with your business. I know it’s not my place. But I do care about the relationship between you and nate. I mean, I’ll probably always regret the damage that I caused your family. So I just wanted to know if there’s anything that I can do to help fix things.

Nate: You’re going to do just fine without me. You’re going to have your sister, amanda, to lean on.

Imani: I guess. I just feel so conflicted about everything these days. Going away now, leaving chancellor-winters in the lurch like this.

Nate: We all understand. This is not some vacation. This is about a family in trouble. And that takes precedence over anything else around here. Family is what this company is built on. We’re supposed to stick by each other no matter what.

Imani: Absolutely. But I keep getting the feeling maybe yours isn’t sticking by you.

Kyle: So I’m doing all I can to focus on harrison and help him through losing the man he knew as “father.” And on top of all that, my mom and summer’s mom working together at marchetti might start world war iii. Sorry you asked?

Mariah: No. No, no, of course not. It’s just, um, wow, that — that is a lot. Yeah, you were right. Is there anything that I can do to help?

Kyle: Thanks, but I’m pretty sure this is all stuff I have to handle on my own. I promise I’ll send up a flare if things go south.

Mariah: Tessa, it looks like our drinks are ready. Do you mind picking them up? Thank you.

Ke: I could’ve gotten them. Why did you send tessa when she can’t even say who the order’s for?

Mariah: Honestly, I needed her out of the picture for a secondecause I wanted to ask you something in private. A really, really big favor.

Billy: Well, clearly, there’s nothing else I can say. It’s your call whether you hire that viper or not.

Jack: Exactly.

Billy: Just remember, jack, that adam’s fangs are sharp and poisonous.

Phyllis: Well, look at this. The abbott men spending time together.

Jack: Actually, I was just on my way out.

Phyllis: Oh, it’s okay. I’m just here to talk about business with billy. So I wanted to discuss lily’s very generous offer to buy the grand phoenix. She said if I had a change of heart, I could talk to her or you.

Jack: Well, I’ll leave you two to discuss your business.

Phyllis: See ya.

Billy: Boy, things between you and jack when south fast. At least this time it’s not my fault.

Phyllis: I have moved on from that.

Billy: Mm.

Phyllis: And possibly moving on from the grand phoenix. I’m going to start working with summer at marchetti.

Billy: I’m sorry. What? You and diane working together?

[ Chuckles ]

Unleash the freshness…

Phyllis: Thank you. I will only be working at the same company as diane. We’re in different departments.

Billy: Yeah, well, I don’t think marchetti is big enough for the both of you.

Phyllis: You underestimate me. I can handle this.

Billy: I hope so. At least for jack’s sake.

Phyllis: I’m not going to let my daughter down.

Billy: I realize that, but you can only suppress your feelings for so long, and the longer you do

[Imitates explosion] The bigger the combustion.

Phyllis: You know, I’m actually offended by this characterization of my personality. Yeah, why is it that you get to turn your life around, you get to be an upstanding executive, but me, I can’t do that?

Billy: Because I actually like my colleagues. I trust them and admire them.

Phyllis: Okay, well, it’s unfortunate for you that all you’re working with are, you know, your buddies and your girlfriend. I’m going to handle diane very professionally.

Billy: And I’m going to enjoy the popcorn watching you do that.

Phyllis: Okay, well, the grand phoenix is a huge moneymaking endeavor. It’s not like some, you know, podcast.

Billy: My podcasts are actually quite popular. I should have you on the show sometime.

Phyllis: Oh, no, thank you. I’m kind of booked up. But thanks for the offer. Anyway, what I’m saying is the grand phoenix isn’t just some side hustle. It’s a business. And that’s why I wanted to talk to lily about going forward. I don’t think I could handle both marchetti and the grand phoenix.

Billy: Well, I appreciate your new-day mentality, and if that’s what this actually is, then devon and lily will be very happy to hear that. Of course, they told me about the offer, and I was very confident that you were not going to be interested.

Phyllis: That’s how little you know me, billy.

Billy: Well, maybe that’s true. But what I do know, with diane joining marchetti, there’s only two reasons for your new direction. Number one, you’re a fool to sell your hotel to go work with summer. Or number two, you have a plan for diane. And I’ve never known you to be a fool.

Phyllis: You’re right about that.

Billy: Phyllis, you have made some mistakes, some pretty spectacular ones, but you are as savvy as they come. And if you have a plan, well, I bet it involves hurting diane in some way.

Summer: I knew that kyle was going to tell you about my mom coming on board, and I’m glad to hear that you don’t foresee any issues, because we don’t intend to tolerate any turmoil. Marchetti is a business. It’s not a place for anyone to hash out their personal grievances.

Diane: Oh, I couldn’t agree more.

Summer: Great. Well, then we can consider this topic closed.

Diane: Do you mind if I ask a truly honest question before we set this aside?

Summer: Please do.

Diane: Don’t you suspect that your mother’s sudden and massive career move is directly tied to her hatred of me?

Kyle: A really big favor. What do you need?

Mariah: [ Sighs ] I’m worried about tessa. She is super bummed about missing her tour, and she’s putting on a good front, but I can tell. I mean, can you imagine how frustrating it must be? No speaking, no singing.

Kyle: It’s got to be hard, especially for someone with such a beautiful voice.

Mariah: And not to mention all the worrying about how this is going to affect her voice long-term. So I have been trying to think of a way to keep her busy, boost her spirits.

Kyle: Are you pitching that we gift her a free, glamorous, new design from marchetti? Because that’s easy. Go by the showroom. Have her pick something out.

Mariah: That is very, very sweet of you, and I’ll probably end up taking you up on that, but I was thinking more along the lines of a job.

Kyle: Really? You think she’d be interested?

Mariah: Yes. Tessa is a huge fan of marchetti’s line, and she’s always been passionate about fashion. It’s a natural fit, and from a P.R. Standpoint, I’m sure you guys are going to need models for your new U.S. Rollout.

Kyle: Yes, we’re working on it.

Mariah: So who better to team up with than hot singing star tessa porter?

Nikki: Has chance told you exactly what he’s still investigating?

Abby: Not specifically, no. But maybe because of all the lies ashland told, he’s making sure that there’s nothing left uncovered.

Nikki: Well, you have to know how incredibly hard this has been for victoria. And I think the longer the investigation goes on, the more difficult it will be for her to move past it.

Abby: What are you trying to say? That chance should back off the ashland case?

Nikki: Wouldn’t that be what’s best for everybody? Tattoo studio gel pencil liner from maybelline new york.

Summer: Of course, i considered that my mom’s career shift might have something to do with you coming to work at marchetti. And believe me, I let her know my suspicions, as well.

Diane: But you hired her anyway.

Summer: Yes, I did. With the same warning that kyle gave you. We’re going to be keeping a watchful eye on both of you. And my mom has assured me that there won’t be any problems. And I have high hopes that she means what she says, because this is an amazing opportunity for me and my mother to work together just as it is for you and kyle.

Diane: Well, you don’t have to worry about me. I want this to work out more than anyone. In fact, I would love it if phyllis could find a way to forgive me. You know, maybe this whole thing will just be a miracle in disguise.

Phyllis: You know, I find it annoying, ridiculous that everybody in this town seems to think that I always have some nefarious plan, some nefarious intention.

Billy: Yeah, it’s super annoying and ridiculous that people would be curious why you would be selling your prized possession out of the blue to go work with your sworn enemy.

Phyllis: I’m not working with my sworn enemy, billy. I’m working side-by-side with my daughter. I’m helping her attain her vision of marchetti.

Billy: Once again, phyllis, you’re casting yourself in a supporting role, and that’s not you. You are the queen bee.

Phyllis: You know, I like a challenge. You know that, billy.

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: I thrive for a challenge, don’t I? And I’ll be overseeing the home-design division of marchetti. It’s a huge, huge position. It’s hardly a supporting player.

Billy: Okay, then. Why didn’t you say that? Because that actually sounds like a cool gig.

Phyllis: It is a cool gig. It’s a great gig. So that’s why I have risen above my hatred for diane, a hatred that cost me my relationship with jack and any sort of happiness that I would find with him. The sort of happiness I’ll never — I’ll never get again, I’m afraid.

Billy: Oh, boy. You are definitely up to something.

Devon: Yeah, I appreciate your concern, but what’s going on between nate and me has nothing to do with you or our history.

Elena: [ Sighs ] Good to know.

Devon: Yeah. It’s just… like, work doesn’t change the way I feel about him as family, but as a c-suite executive, he’s created a few issues. But it’s not all his fault. I take a little bit of blame, too.

Elena: Yeah?

Devon: Yeah.

Elena: In what way?

Devon: Well, I just sort of eased him into this high-level position instead of just throwing him into the deep end and expecting him to swim.

Elena: Oh. Well, look, I know you have a lot of business experience, and you were fortunate to have neil as a guide. But nate isn’t some wet-behind-the-ear college grad just starting out in the world, so he probably shouldn’t be treated as one. I mean, do you think it’s possible that you’ve put up some defenses when it comes to nate?

Devon: No. No, not at all. The only thing I’ve done is clearly lay out how I believe the hierarchy should work, and, for whatever reason, he’s been reluctant to embrace it, which is now causing me to wonder if I made a mistake altogether bringing him on board.

Nate: You’re dealing with enough right now. The last thing you need from me is to burden you with my troubles.

Imani: Honestly, I could use the distraction. I have the whole plane ride to virginia to worry about my mother’s condition. So in the meantime, let me be here for you for a change.

Nate: Okay. As long as you remember, you asked for it.

Imani: I did. Now, tell me what’s going on.

Nate: Devon is apparently worried that I’m some sort of liability to chancellor-winters. We had a slight misunderstanding about something that I was able to fix once I realized it was a problem.

Imani: Mm, that doesn’t sound like a big deal.

Nate: First year post-merger is critical for chancellor-winters. Devon is afraid that I made us look bad, and he wants to give me a mentor.

Imani: A mentor? Are you serious? You just started your business career. Devon didn’t even give you enough time to prove yourself. Meet febreze’s miracle spray: Febreze fabric refresher.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Mariah: So? What do you think? Don’t you think tessa would make a great model while her voice recovers?

Kyle: Well, I have to admit it is an intriguing idea, and summer did mention finding a fresh face to usher in the new era of the fashion line.

Mariah: Great minds.

Kyle: Of course, I would have to talk to her before I commit to anything. She is the creative eye of the brand.

Mariah: I know that it’s not a done deal. I’m just happy you didn’t dismiss it out of hand. Okay, please don’t say anything to tessa before it’s a done deal, alright? I don’t want to get her hopes up for nothing. Okay? Cool. Hey. Oh. Thank you so much.

Kyle: Thank you.

Voice app: What?

Mariah: What?

Voice app: My voice may be gone, but my eyes and ears still work. What’s going on with you two?

Mariah: No, nothing. I was just discussing this awesome weather that we’re having.

Diane: Maybe having phyllis come to marchetti will give us a chance to bond on some level.

Summer: I think you’re laying it on a little thick now, diane.

Diane: Am I? Think how different things would be if your mother could find a way to forgive me the same way kyle has and jack seems to be on the verge of doing.

Summer: I wouldn’t put too much hope into total forgiveness.

Diane: You’re probably right. It’s probably just wishful thinking on my part.

Summer: I’m not just talking about my mother. I mean, that is a tall order for jack, too.

Diane: I see.

Summer: Diane, I’ve watched you with harrison. I mean, you are absolutely wonderful with him, especially given everything that’s going on. But that doesn’t erase your history.

Diane: I realize that, summer, and I know that I have a lot more work to do in that regard.

Summer: A lot more. Jack is working hard to keep the peace for kyle and harrison’s sake. But, you know, I’m going to give you the same warning I gave my mom. Don’t attempt to manipulate jack the way that you have in the past. I am just as protective of him as I am of kyle.

Diane: Good to know.

Summer: And if you do pull anything at all, you’ll have to contend with me.

Phyllis: Why can’t you believe that my heart is in the right place?

Billy: Okay, just stop. Stop the phony denials for a second, okay, and just hear me out. I’m not here to criticize you. I’m speaking to you as an ex-lover and a semi-friend.

Phyllis: Semi? Pushing it. Really.

Billy: Take this for what it is, phyllis. Let it go. Whatever you have planned for diane, walk away. Because even if you win — and my money’s on you — you will still lose in the end.

Phyllis: What makes you think I will lose?

Billy: Because there is always collateral damage in war. And I’m looking at the battlefield, and I see that collateral damage is going to be summer.

Phyllis: It’ll never be summer. Summer won’t be near the line of fire, billy.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: If there was a line of fire, which there is not.

Billy: Okay, well, let me share another little tidbit of breaking news with you, because it could cause more damage to this equation.

Phyllis: Alright, tell me.

Billy: You’ll be working at marchetti, but, of course, that’s still under the jabot umbrella. Kyle is leaving jabot to go run marchetti. Which means the powers that be at jabot will be shifting.

Phyllis: Who exactly is shifting?

Billy: Brace yourself. Adam. Jack offered adam a job at jabot. (Tonya) smoking damaged my heart.

Phyllis: Adam is working at jabot?

Billy: Believe me, I was just as surprised as you.

Phyllis: What is he going to be doing?

Billy: He’s filling in for kyle. Co-ceo.

Phyllis: Co-ceo? He’ll have power.

Billy: Yeah.

Phyllis: Jack is literally filling his son’s shoes with adam.

Billy: Apparently, adam hasn’t decided whether he wants to take the job or not, but there’s no talking jack out of the offer because we know jack. Not only is he filling a corporate need, but he’s saving adam’s soul.

Phyllis: This is unbelievable. It’s unbelievable. Adam is yet another person who gets an umpteenth chance to redeem himself in jack’s eyes. I mean, this is how it is. It’s diane, adam, and then me.

Billy: Look, I get it, okay, but I think you need to focus on the ramifications, because you know just as well as I do, you throw adam into any mix, it’s a recipe for disaster.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Well, it doesn’t matter with marchetti because summer and kyle are running marchetti. I mean, you don’t think that jack is going to involve adam in that company, do you?

Billy: I don’t know. But if he does, whose side do you think is going to take, yours or diane’s?

Phyllis: Oh, well, adam’s definitely going to take diane’s side, given their history.

Billy: Right.

Phyllis: And jack is just going to follow along and give diane the benefit of the doubt like he’s been doing.

Billy: So think about it. Do you want to be the one responsible for throwing oil on the fire?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Phyllis: [ Scoffs ] I have to take this. Hello?

Nikki: We need to meet.

Imani: I hate that you’re getting so little support from your cousin. You don’t deserve to be treated like that.

Nate: Unfortunately, I don’t think devon’s is going to change his mind. He’s determined to view me as some sort of screw-up.

Imani: That’s ridiculous. I know you could be doing so much more. You have so much potential, and you are so close to taking off and soaring. Maybe devon is threatened by that.

Nate: Thank you, imani. It’s nice to get some support from a colleague for a change. You know, I have felt like devon’s been holding me back.

Imani: Mm.

Nate: But there’s also a chance he might be right. Maybe I overstepped a few times, but not out of malice or arrogance or anything like that. It was from pure enthusiasm. I don’t know. Maybe I need to learn to play the game a little better.

Imani: Mnh-mnh. That’s one way to go, but I don’t agree with that strategy. Clearly, devon needs to be the only one in full control.

Abby: Hey.

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Mwah! How lucky am I to run into you?

Devon: Oh, it’s always good to see you. Oh, and thank you for that new picture of dominic you sent me here. It’s my screen saver now.

Abby: Oh, my gosh. It’s so cute. Chance did the same thing. He wanted to see the picture every time he pulls out his phone.

Devon: Is he going to be stopping by later?

Abby: Oh, no, I highly doubt it. He’s been working these crazy hours trying to tie up any loose ends on the ashland locke car crash.

Devon: What loose ends could there be?

Abby: You know, I keep asking myself the same question, and the more I think about it, the more I think I’m not going to like the answer.

Devon: Why do you say that?

Abby: [ Sighs ] I think chance is keeping something from me because my family’s involved, and that can’t be good.

Phyllis: Where’s ashley? Is she going to grace us with her presence?

Nikki: Oh, I’m afraid not. She had to go out of town on business. Please have a seat.

Phyllis: Out of town on business, huh? Okay, I thought this was supposed to be a group effort, but one of our coconspirators is completely useless, nikki.

Nikki: Oh, no, she is not. She is completely committed to our cause, although she is still concerned about your sabotage plan. In fact, that’s why I asked you to come over, because I need to know the details of your next moves.

Phyllis: The details? I thought we were good. Wait a second. Are you saying that you don’t trust me?

Nikki: Well, in a word, no.

With age comes more…

Devon: I get why you’d be concerned about what chance is working on, but, you know, you can trust him to do the right thing.

Abby: Oh, of course he will. I’m just — I’m worried about my sister. Victoria has been through so much.

Devon: If anybody can handle it, she can.

Abby: Yeah, I keep telling myself that. But enough of me and all of my worries. How are you and amanda?

Devon: Uh… well, I wish I could give you some happier news, but we’re actually going through a difficult time because her mother is dealing with some serious health issues right now. Naya slipped into a coma.

Abby: I am so sorry to hear that.

Devon: Yeah, it’s rough, so amanda is back in virginia right now with her mom, and i wish I could’ve gone with her.

Abby: Oh, well, why didn’t you?

Devon: I offered to go, but she said that it was fine and she had it under control. And, plus, things have been a little tense at chancellor-winters lately.

Abby: Oh.

Devon: So, yeah. Working with family has its own set of complications.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Yeah. I totally understand that. That’s why I’m so happy to have society. It’s my own special place. No judgment, no interference. Yeah, and thanks to you and all the advice that you gave me, this place is a big success.

Devon: Good.

Abby: I just realized something.

Devon: Mm-hmm. What?

Abby: That you, devon hamilton, have been instrumental in two out of the three loves of my life, my work and dominic.

Devon: Mm. Well, at least I’ve done something right.

Abby: Mm.

[ Both chuckle ]

Imani: Listen, I understand that you want to think the best of your cousin, but devon isn’t looking at the bigger picture here. In my opinion, the last thing you need to do is take a step back. If anything, you need to turn up the heat, not give in.

Nate: But I don’t want to create more conflict.

Imani: Maybe not, but it’s clear and sad devon doesn’t value what you bring to the work. And I’m sorry, but slow and steady isn’t going to convince him otherwise.

Nate: So what do you think will?

Imani: Remember how you took the bull by the horns at the launch? Hm?

Imani: People responded so positively to you.

Imani: You need to do something like that again, only bigger and bolder. Something that will demand attention and respect.

Mariah: [ Chuckling ] What? Nothing is going on with us. Seriously.

Kyle: Yeah, we were just catching up. There’s nothing for you to worry about. Hey, there’s my beautiful wife.

Mariah: Hey. Hi, summer. Kyle was just talking about you, actually. All good things, of course.

Summer: I would certainly hope so.

Mariah: And I wish that we could stay and chat, but we have to go.

Summer: Please don’t go on my account.

Mariah: Oh, no, no. No, I think you and kyle need some private time, so we’re going to go, but we’ll see you guys later. Yeah, bye.

Kyle: What’s up?

Summer: I just had a very interesting encounter with your mother.

Kyle: Mm. Interesting how?

Summer: She was spinning this fantasy about my mother forgiving her and the two of them bonding.

Kyle: Well, that’s never going to happen.

Summer: I know. So I have to wonder, are we asking for trouble here, expecting our mothers to peacefully work together?

Kyle: If we pull a job offer from either one of them, it could spur off into something even worse now.

Summer: It would probably launch an all-out war.

Kyle: I think we have to get them to stick to their word.

Summer: And if they don’t?

Kyle: It’s up to us to keep the peace. And there’s still a chance that both our moms could happily surprise us.

Summer: I would so like to believe that that’s possible.

Phyllis: Okay. Surprise. Surprise. Guess what. I don’t trust you and ashley, either.

Nikki: Well, you might be surprised to know that the reason I don’t trust you is somewhat of a compliment.

Phyllis: Oh, really? I have to hear this.

Nikki: Phyllis, I am worried that you might back down at the last minute out of concern for summer, and I completely understand that maternal instinct to want to protect your child. You and I have that in common. But it doesn’t really help our cause. The best way to keep summer and her family safe is to get diane out of town for good.

Phyllis: Yes, I know that. I agree with you. Nikki, I mean, I don’t appreciate your backhanded compliment about protecting my daughter. I don’t appreciate that, especially since I’m the only one in this triumvirate who’s actually doing something. So you have worries, you have concerns. I get it. But until you really contribute, keep your opinions to yourself, okay?

Jack: Hi. Could I get a coffee, black, to go, please? Diane. Hey, I’m glad I ran into you.

Diane: Oh, that’s nice to hear, but why?

Jack: Well, I have been reading to harrison from the books you gave him that deal with loss and grief, and they’ve been very special, very, very helpful. I can already see the positive effects they’re having on him.

Diane: Aww, that’s good. I’m glad. Hey, thank you for sharing that with me.

Jack: The ones I was reading to him today were the teddy bear stories. Yeah, and he got it right away. He saw the parallels between the story and his loss of a man he always thought was his father.

Diane: Well, we’re lucky we have such a bright grandson.

Jack: We are indeed. Thank you. I mean it. Thank you for a very thoughtful gift.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

P-please don’t! Ah…ah…

[Giggling] Hoo-hoo! That tickles! Ohh! Oh! Shh! Spinelli! Oh. Don’t stop. What? What? Spinelli, stop. You’re making a scene. Sorry about my friend. It’s his first time. Ohh. Nothing like the first time. Ha ha! Hah-hah-hah-hah-hah!

[ Scott groaning ] What — what is wrong with you? Are you crazy?! Sweetheart, are you okay? I think he broke my nose. Yeah, I’ll break a lot more than that, baldwin. This has been a long time coming. We may as well be divorced if you insist on living apart. Fine by me. I already signed the papers. You play this wrong, you could pay with your freedom. If my choice is between keeping company with the cassadines or keeping company with convicts, I’ll choose convicts. We’re not all bad. Exception, meet rule. Ava. These will be waiting for you. Just say the word. Okay. What have you done this time? Dante. Come on. This is not necessary. Ada arden begs to differ… given your history of busting out of prison bars. I was gone for all of two hours to pay respects to my mother! I returned to spring ridge the same afternoon. Well, that won’t be a consideration where you’re headed, because slipping out of a prison spa, that’s one thing. Pentonville, quite another. Was that worth the wait? I almost forgot what that felt like.

[ Sighs ] Can’t have that. Mnh-mnh. I, um — actually I have a really short memory. Allow me to remind you. Yeah, getting things straight will have to wait. I am committed elsewhere. Oh, oh. I’m not asking.

Wow! That’s something you could put on your résumé. I’ve never needed a résumé. Yeah. That makes sense. That really makes sense. So, I’m looking forward to finding out about your other marketable skills. Fashion sense. Hm! Marinara sauce. Mm-hmm. Dancing. [ Laughs ] Uh, the two-step, “do the hustle,” you know. You just described a perfect date. You free tomorrow night? I am free tomorrow night. And I’M…free tonight. But you’re not. You’re — no? You’re not free tonight.

[ Chuckles ] No. No, that’s okay. No. No explanation needed at all. Of course, you have plans tonight. One or two. How about if I walk you out? Of course. Am I overstepping? Is this — is this too familiar? Is this what your executive coach suggested? That we become besties? And when I’m sufficiently seduced, you snatch elq out from underneath me? That would be so foolish! Don’t you think you would see that coming the way you saw the merger with aurora coming and seduced ned to voting your way? What are you hoping to get straight, drew? Things are bad between us at the moment. Why do I feel like they’re gonna get worse? Oh, no. No, no, no. No, they’re about to get much better. To my benefit… and to yours. Heya. Martini, please. You know how I like it. Open a tab? Yeah. Charge it to my room. 827. I’m not going home tonight. Or any night. Alexis: What’s up with you and ava? Typical marital strife. Talk of imprisonment is typical for the two of you? It never arose between you and julian? You don’t have to talk to me if you don’t want to. Just tell me it’s none of my business. It’s none of your business. Too bad. I outrank you. Ava and I will sort it out. With adequate legal counsel? It won’t come to that. Ava’s too smart, too pragmatic, and too in love with me to let our marriage die over a stupid mistake. She’s also too proud, too vain, and too scornful to let a “stupid mistake” pass. I don’t mean to be cynical, but I would watch your back. Duly noted. May I ask, what are you doing here? My assistant told me your office called and wanted me to meet you here. I never called your assistant. No. I did. No comment?

[ Scoffs ] You can’t talk to me without my lawyer present. Are you kidding me? Oh. Relax. Give me your hands. I’m here to feed you, not harass you. That’s courtesy of your buddy cameron over at kelly’S. Tell him thanks, but I’m not hungry. Oh, I’d eat it if I were you. I heard the, uh, kitchen at pentonville lost one of its fine-dining stars. Hm! Come on, kid. I got to send laura a good report on you. Otherwise, she’s liable to get on the next plane out of italy and leave your great-grandmother in the lurch. Besides, not to get your hopes up, but apparently your great-uncle martin has been in conference with da scorpio. Your situation may be improving. Martin: Yeah. Hi, darling. I’m here, and I’ve procured us a table. But do me a favor, lucy. Would you please hurry? I am — [ Groans ] Well, it’s been a trying day, and I’m desperate for the kind of comfort that only you can provide. You know what? Come to think of it, how about we forget this little tte–tte at the pub? I am on my way over to yours for a little extra privacy. I’ll see you soon, my love. Ooh. Are you leaving? Yeah. Yeah. I got a hot date. Oh, I don’t want to keep you from lucy. Unless I can… do you one better. -Ahh! -Ah, don’t be such a baby, my sweet little

schnitzel. Your nose is bruised but probably not broken. I can remedy that. Time to go. Yeah. Let’s go, baldwin. Let’s go finish this somewhere more private. -Unh! -Mother! -[ Grunts ] -Aah! You’ll learn. Mess with my bull, get my horns. This is between — ow — me and baldwin. [ Grunts ] Hey, look…man. I don’t even know you. Yeah, well, I know you. In another life, I might even have called you dad. Britt: Whoa! Are you saying that you’re scott’s son?

Thank you for everything. Thank you, miss jones. And I love deception. Oh! I’ll have to send some products over for you. Well, thank you. I appreciate that. So? Review? Uh, life-affirming. I mean, my cuticles are so finely arched. My callouses — no more. Thank you for this treat. I-I have — why haven’t I pampered myself like this before? You’ve been busy! Co-parenting georgie, creating that matchmaking algorithm for society setups… shh-shh-shh. …Harboring a super-secret crush that’s not so super-secret anymore. When were you gonna tell me you have feelings for britt? Nina: Hi. Did you see how blue the sky was today? And the fluffy white clouds? And the air was just so warm, but it wasn’t too humid. It was almost like a storybook. Are you on something? Ava, it’s called life. Why can’t I just be happy? Oh. Do you do happy? Well, I do now. Okay? Excuse me. Pardon me. I’ll have the opposite of what she’s having. Okay. She’ll have a shirley temple, then. Thank you. Uh, how about a cosmo?

[ Chuckles ] Hey, friend. Bad day? Yeah. Sometimes it feels like I know no other. But you — you’re smiling. What’s got you all sunshiny today? It almost feels indecent for me to say. Oh, good god. Are you and sonny finally over the hump? How do you plan on improving my life? By simplifying it. I will take elq off your hands. Ohh. See, I was hoping for something original. Oh, this is about as original as I get. Well, you’re gonna be waiting a while because you’re not getting elq. Or at least until danny comes of age and reclaims his shares from you. Well, perhaps by then, you’ll see things ned’s way and you won’t want to mess with success. Anything is possible. However, my family… reliably chaotic. Your family… just famously predictable. Never heard the cassadines described as predictable. Really? One or more of you is always in trouble or causing it, often to each other. So… what would it be worth to you if there was one less cassadine around stirring things up? Why do I suddenly have the feeling that you were looking for me? Good instincts. Well, how did you know I was here? I didn’T. I trailed you from the courthouse. I didn’t see you at the courthouse. You would have if I’d wanted you to. Huh.

[ Chuckles ] You know, one day you really must teach me some of the tricks of your trade. But for right now, like I said, I really must leave. You know, I-I have a rendezvous with lucy. Okay, well, you’re gonna get a lot more out of my company.

[ Chuckles ] Ms. Devane… I have no doubt that you are good. But that good? Definitely a question that shall have to remain unanswered. Why don’t you just sit down and find out? You won’t be sorry. I need a judge’s ruling on this one. Are you flirting with me? It’s not flirting, martin. It’s foreplay. So sit down… and let’s get to the main event. Yeah? I don’t care what happens to me. Well, that’s a shame, ’cause you got a lot of friends and family who feel otherwise. They don’t have to worry. I got myself into this. I’ll live with the consequences. Oh, how noble. The only people who I care about are the ones who are suffering because of me. Like trina?

[ Wheels roll ] You sure took long enough to come forward as her alibi. Would it have mattered if I’d spoken up earlier? I doubt it. The prosecutor probably would have used the same arguments in court regardless. You were with trina when she posted the video. That wouldn’t have exonerated her. She could have timed it in advance. At least I tried to step up. I hope that means something to trina.

[ Knock on door ] Yeah? Detective, someone here to see mr. Cassadine. Alright. I’ll be right there.

[ Door closes ] Sit tight.

[ Door opens ]

[ Sighs ] Everything okay? I heard about spencer getting arrested. Mm-hmm. Yeah. He, uh — he’s got a real “go it alone” attitude going. So you’re telling me that, uh, he’s gonna need a lot more help? Yeah. Is he gonna get that from you? Is this a joke? Dr. Obrecht: Do you share dna with britta’s boyfriend? He’s not my boyfriend! I don’t know this guy. I’ve never seen him before in my life. That’s not exactly a “no, he’s not my son” denial. Uh, hang on a second here. I’m not the criminal. He’s the one that just sucker-punched me. Your lovemaking is passionate, scott… ugh. …But it’s not always safe. Okay, so, in my youth, my shenanigans caused me to change my will a few times. It doesn’t mean that every joe blow with dollar signs in his eyes is my son! Would you know that for sure? I’ll take a dna test. Okay. Can I get a word in edgewise? Okay? I said that scott could be my father “in another life.” To the best of my knowledge, he’s not my father in this one. So you’re not claiming some family resemblance? I’ve been told I take after my mother. Who is she? Not is. Was. She’s dead and gave you a daughter. My mother was dominique stanton.

An excuse to discuss my so-called feelings for dr. Westbourne?

[ Clears throat ] You played me.

[ Scoffs ] Maximista! Okay, well, I wouldn’t have had to resort to an afternoon of pampering if you had just answered my question in the first place! When did you realize you had feelings for britt?

[ Sighs ] Cody: You got yourself

into this mess. The way I see it, there are only two ways out. Option one — you come clean with britt and get ready for society setups to go belly-up when the feds investigate all of those violations of privacy and security breaches. And the other option? Make everyone believe my cover story. You need to convince everyone that you’re crushing on britt. Maxie: When?! It was a recent development. Okay. In retrospect, I remember you being interested in britt’s first match with society setups. You — you insisted on going to the pc grill so we could check on her date. I didn’t realize your interest was romantic. You hid those feelings pretty well, spinelli. I had no idea. I hardly knew myself.

[ Chuckles ] It’s just — this thing is, you and britt… not a match made in heaven? I-I love britt. I do. She’s just so… cold? Bitter? And you’re so…not. So how in the world did your algorithm pair you two up? Scott: You know, this is all horse hockey. You’re not dominique’s son. Like you didn’t know? Yeah, I do. Because dominique had one kid — our daughter, serena. Mother, did you know about this dominique woman? No, she didn’t, because we decided to leave our past where it belongs — in the past. Dominique stanton, the first face of deception. I had my fingers crossed behind my back when I agreed we shouldn’t discuss our past. Yeah, for good reason, because it was a long time ago when dominique died. And it was horrible. Her death was very slow, hard, and painful. I’m sorry. Well — and you, my friend, have a lot of nerve dredging up her name like it’s yours! I never said it was. My name is bell. Got it from the family that raised me when dominique couldn’T. Or wouldn’T.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Telephone rings ] Don’t take too long. The bus to pentonville…

[ Keys scrape ] …Leaves in an hour. What’s in the bag? Cheese fries. Help yourself. I don’t take food from a condemned man. You’ve been to pentonville, haven’t you? It’s bad, right? Uh, it’s not what you’re imagining, but it’s not, uh, spring ridge. My lawyer’s trying to get my sentence reduced. Because you confessed? And because the only reason that I left was to visit my mother’s gravesite, yeah. But chances are I’m gonna have to serve my original one-month sentence again. Okay, spence, this isn’t by “chance.” T-this is a — a dead certainty. Alright. [ Sighs ] Let’s get you ready. My apologies for the subterfuge, but I suspected you wouldn’t be all that eager to meet with me despite the urgent family need. I’m assuming that “the urgent family need” is to discuss nikolas’ marital woes? Mm, indirectly. This is about spencer, isn’t it? So, at trina robinson’s trial, I heard that spencer gave her an alibi. Causing him to be arrested for his brief absence from spring ridge. And that ada insisted he serve his original one-month sentence, this time at pentonville. Well, I’m not sure what i can do about that. I would be happy to go visit him in pentonville, even though “happy” and “pentonville” are not words that actually go together. Well, it wouldn’t even have to come to that… if you can keep spencer out of pentonville altogether. And how do you figure that? By using the mighty power of the press. I hope I’m mistaken, but I’m definitely sensing a, shall we say, truculence coming from you. I know. I get that way, particularly when I have been lied to or played for a fool. Well, the fool would have to be who was ever stupid enough to underestimate you. It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? Absolutely. A-at any other time on any other day, I’d be honored to offer you the legal services of martin grey, esquire, to put the villain down — thank you so much, martin. I really appreciate that. I need your services. It’s — [ Sighs ] Well, can you at least give me an idea of the — the nature of your trouble? Shall we start with a name? Valentin cassadine. Is a certain former navy seal offering to eliminate a member of my family? Nothing so permanent. And no random cassadine. You’ve piqued my curiosity. Spencer. I mean, he’s a kid, right? He’s frustrating. He’s a little bit annoying, but he’s no real threat to you. Nikolas did manage to wrangle the cassadine estate from you, which I’m sure…that probably stung a little bit. But let’s be honest. That didn’t really slow you down. Now there’s just one cassadine that’s a real concern, one that you could do without. I can get you victor.

I’m happy for you. I thought that maybe the sonny and nina flame had flickered and died. Well, it might have. Yeah, if you had drawn that line in the sand and refused to tolerate carly in his life. Mm-hmm. Well, you know what? Carly’s always gonna be a gnat in our relationship. Mm-hmm. But you know how to handle gnats. Yeah, you smack ’em, squish ’em. Exactly!

[ Chuckles ] Another round here, please. And she’s co-owner of the joint, so she’s definitely buying.

[ Laughs ] Just be careful. Don’t congratulate yourself too soon. Some gnats, certain gnats, they can be very sneaky pests. They can bother the hell out of you. So much so that you might start reevaluating how much sonny’s love means to you. How are you and nikolas? Hmm? Is he pestering you to move back to wyndemere? He won’t if he knows what’s good for him. Okay. What’s happened since the last time we talked? The question is, what hasn’t happened? My guys on the inside will put word out that you’re untouchable. They’re gonna be looking out for you, if you know what I mean. Thank you. Thank you. You don’t have to thank me. You can — you can thank me in 30 days, ’cause these guys aren’t bodyguards. They’re not gonna be on you, like, every minute. But you got to do what I told you to do. Keep your head down, right, and your mouth shut. Don’t make any trouble for anybody, they ain’t gonna make any trouble for you. I got it. I don’t mean to come here to scare you. No. It’s okay. You’re not — you’re not scaring me. I was already scared. You know what, kid? You put your freedom on the line for trina. That took a lot of guts. I’m proud of you. Detective falconeri, dispatch just got a report about a fight at the metro court, pool area. What? I was just there. I’m headed over there now. No, no, no. No, no. No. I got it. Did you say your name was bell? Obviously that means something to you. Why? Well, dominique’s family, the stantons. They had an estate called serenity. The bells, they were the cooks, the groundskeepers. Stable hands. When dominique gave me up, the bells raised me as their own. Yeah, well, that’s impossible, because I wasn’t with dominique long enough to have a kid before serena. No. I arrived long before you hooked up with my mom. But by the time I was old enough to find out the truth about my biological mother, she was dead. My inheritance was gone. Ohh! So that’s what this is about. You’re here grubbin’ for dominique’s money. So…how exactly did this amazing algorithm know that you and britt were a match? Did the code get a kink or something? My code isn’T…kinky. Yet, oddly, it paired you two up. Okay, it wasn’t actually the code. Don’t — don’t blame my code. I — I just… one day… please go on. Like a bolt from the blue, I-I just saw dr. Westbourne and I knew…she was — she was the one. Huh. And when exactly was this moment? When she was stabbing someone in the back with her scalpel after they stole her parking space? Okay. Yes. Opposites attract, okay? I — britt stands up for what she believes. Her sharp edges cleave straight to my heart. When were you gonna tell britt about how you feel? If not for cody bell, I’d never have opened my mouth. Never? What if she reciprocates your feelings? Some words are never meant to be spoken. Martin: Oh, come on, anna. Don’t be ridiculous. You know I can’t do that. For god’s sake. I’m valentin’s attorney. There is such a thing as attorney-client privilege. It’s precisely because of your relationship with valentin that I chose you to help me. Help you how? He’s hiding something, martin. I’m sorry, but you’re just gonna have to seek assistance elsewhere. And, frankly, I’m a little disappointed in you — you’d be willing to exploit my relationship with valentin for your own…ends. You do realize you’re trying to solicit me to engage in malpractice. Hmm? And another thing. He’s not just my client. He’s my friend. And as his friend, I think I have a duty to valentin to tell him that you’re trying to…betray him. Kind of like you betrayed your three ex-wives. Drew: Interested? In tearing down my own father. Father?! Is that how you’re referring to victor these days? If the dna fits… look, I take responsibility for my child. I — I look out for scout. I try to teach her right from wrong. I learn from her. I wipe away a tear when she falls down and scrapes her elbow. Hell, I’ll even go to “disney on ice,” and I’ll enjoy it as much as she does. Do you know why? Because you love her? Exactly. And the years that I spent away from her, in part due to your father, nearly killed me. Now, does that describe victor’s relationship with you? Not really. Look. I’m a father. You’re a father. Victor — he’s not a father. He’s — he’s biology. Name one good or loving thing that he has done for you or charlotte since he’s come into your lives. Well, your concept of family is rather narrow and hopelessly american. We can take down victor together. This help… what’ll it cost me? Elq. How?

Oh, dominique, yeah, she inspired a long list of fortune hunters. But I’ll tell you something right now. I haven’t got one red cent for you! Yeah, because all her money went to serena. Don’t even think about going near her. That’d be the last thing you do. She spent it all trying to save the whales. What the hell? Is there nothing in this world that — anybody knows everything now? It’s the internet. Ugh.

[ Britt laughs ] You know, I actually respect my half-sister’s commitment to the environment. I mean, I believe in preserving wild places and respecting wildlife, as well. But she didn’t have to spend her whole fortune. She could’ve held back a couple million. Well, she didn’T. I only want my fair share. Well, good luck with that. I got nothing to give you. That’s fine with me. I’ll make it on my own. Good. Do that. Leave her out of it. What do i have to do with this? Well, you’ll never see this pauper ever again. He sucker-punched my dear scott. What’s this, now?

[ Sighs ] I don’t doubt you have the meansto neutralize my father. I just want to hear you say it. You’re gonna have to buy me dinner first. I’m not gonna give it up all at once. Especially knowing the cassadine reputation for treachery. So you think I’m going to run to victor with your little plot? Oh, I think you’d be tempted. It works to your advantage for victor to think that you’re loyal. Perhaps i am loyal. I’m sure you are. To your daughter and to anna. But there’s no way that victor is on that list, because I remember the conversation that we had in that cell on cassadine island. You know that he is dangerous. You’re way too smart to want a volatile megalomaniac like him running around. So… just think about it. Decide what it’s worth knowing that your father could one day no longer be a threat to those close to him. My ex-wives adore me. They might adore you a little less if they were aware of the assets that you concealed from them. Sit. I have to say, though… the creativity in the accounting is almost a masterpiece. Almost. I mean, it’s good enough to deceive your average accountant, but it couldn’t quite stand the scrutiny of the wsb. Ms. Devane, I’m sure you have me confused with someone else. I’m sorry. My bad. So you wouldn’t mind, then, if your exes’ attorneys were to review this spreadsheet that I’ve compiled. Spread– yeah. I have it right here. As if it’s any of your business. I have already been more than generous. You know my mother is an invalid? A woman that requires around-the-clock nursing care and has for years. That doesn’t come cheap. So maybe I didn’t feel like letting a kettle of vultures help themselves to money that should rightly be spent caring for mama. Well, perhaps if you were to explain the situation to your exes, I’m sure that they are well aware of your deep commitment to your mother. Leave — what? Leave my ex-wives out of it. You have no idea what they’re like. Well, tell. Go ahead. Well, for one thing, number one is greedy, vindictive, a rapacious, mendacious predator. If it were up to her, there’d be nothing left standing but my beard. Number two, god love her. Number two isn’t exactly a brain trust. Woman actually thought the vatican was a hotel. The only intelligent thing she ever did was line up behind number one. And number three, well, god help us all. The less said about her, the better. So we agree, then? What? That you are at greater risk if you cross your ex-wives than if you were to cross, say, valentin? Here’s the thing. Make no mistake, martin. You are at the greatest risk if you cross me. Trying to save trina might not work. If the jury finds her guilty, I’d have confessed for nothing. It had to be done. If you kept quiet, you wouldn’t be who you are, the man I knew you could be. Jordan says that I could help myself, maybe cut down on my prison time. If I named the people who helped me slip out of spring ridge. Would you still think I’m a man if I told you I was considering turning rat? I’m not going to deploy

the invader to defend spencer, because it would destroy our credibility. It would also backfire on spencer. How? Trina is on trial for a crime that neither spencer or her victims believe that she committed. Can you imagine the uproar if a young white man is set free for a crime that he did do and a young black woman is sent to prison for a crime she didn’t do? That’s a category five blowback. And it will land, rightfully so, on both of you for orchestrating it. Also alienate spencer against you both. Isn’t there something that you could do? Spencer cares deeply for trina. I just saw him at the pcpd. Alexis, he is going crazy over what happened to her. I can’t keep spencer out of pentonville. Although, i can help ease his mind by helping trina.

[ Sighs ] No, it’s too late to make trina’s case. The jury’s already deciding. But it’s not too late to build a case against someone else. Someone else like… esme, for example?

In my line of work, there’s nothing worse than an informant. But then again, you’re not in my line of work. Listen, you need to use whatever tools you have to help yourself. Even if I have to live with the knowledge that I sent someone else down for what I did? What about the people that have to live with your absence? You got to ask yourself, do they stand to gain more if your accomplice goes free or if you do? I have a reporter developing a story on esme. We just don’t have enough for print yet. Well, what if I told you esme left? The prosecution’s star witness? The one everyone thinks did it left? Where did she go? I don’t know. Spencer doesn’t either. I returned home the night the trial ended, and she was gone. So were her things. I might be able to work with that. Well, meanwhile, I’ll continue my efforts to help spencer. Listen, why don’t we meet later and go over our plans to track esme down? Alexis. Nikolas. Alright, whose idea was it to pressure the invader to help spencer? Was it yours or was it victor’s? Does it matter? Yes, it matters. It’d matter a lot to your mom. Well, my mother isn’t in town, and my son needs me.

[ Sighs ] It was victor’s idea. But I’m completely on board. I won’t apologize for doing everything in my power to free my son. Wouldn’t you do the same thing if it were one of your daughters? Anna, I’m serious. Even if I wanted to help you, I can’T. Other than helping him put down that attempted coup over at elq, I haven’t even seen valentin lately. I have no idea what you’re talking about. What lies do you think the man has told you? Okay, look, valentin may not have shared his truth with you yet, but you are in the right position to get it. You just need to stay close to him, martin. Just stay close, and I will coach you on what to uncover. But doing so could ruin me. Cheating your wives out of money is going to ruin you. Okay, look, you come through for me, and I’ll protect you from your ex-wives, okay? At least one and two, greedy and stupid. Number three, she’s no joke. I can’t bear the thought of you bottling up your feelings. It’s not a hardship, and, you know, now that britt has been made aware of my…passion, she’s made it very clear that she doesn’t reciprocate my feelings. Okay, she could change her mind. Stranger things have happened. And you should see if that algorithm matches you two up. No, no. I’d never use my algorithm on my own profile. Never. But if it can zero in on the love of your life… I can’T. Don’t you want to know who it is?

[ Cellphone ringing ] What if my algorithm shows me that I’m matched with someone that I can never have? Oh, it’s austin. Hold on. Austin, hey, I’m running a few minutes late, but I’m leaving soon. We got a call at the station about a fight. It wasn’t a fight fight. It was one measly tap on the nose. Cody assaulted

mein scott. Did you? You are under arrest. Yeah, yeah, I know the drill. Yeah, well, we’re going to go by the book just in case. You have the right to remain silent. Should you give up the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you free of charge. Do you understand these rights as I’ve explained them to you? Yes, you did an amazing job. Oh, good. I bet you can recite it in your sleep. So probably going to need a rain check on date number two. Let’s go. Well, I know you have a room here. I thought you and nikolas turned a corner. We did. But around that corner was a big brick wall, and I walked right into it. Mm. You want to talk about it? Do you want to be an accessory after the fact? I don’t follow. Mm, nor do you want to. You’re happy. Look at you, basking in the warmth and light of new love. Cheers to that. I’ll be in touch. Wait. Whatever happened between you and my father is in the past. Don’t drift back into his sights. Or else? No, I’m not trying to intimidate you. That’s obviously not an easy task. My father is ruthless, and if he decides you can’t be threatened, he will target those closest to you. Trust me. I know.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Days of Our Lives logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sonny: [Sighs] Okay, look, chad, um, I’ve been thinking a lot about what helped me when I thought will was gone. All right, and I remembered that work became very important to me. It gave me structure, helped me put one foot in front of the other.

Chad: Yeah, but I don’t have a job.

Sonny: Well, a new vp position opened up at titan. And you are more than qualified. I mean, it’s yours if you want it.

Alex: Actually, no, it’s not.

Allie: These came for you, special delivery.

Chanel: Who are they from?

Allie: Don’t know. Guess you have a secret admirer.

Johnny: Uncle chad, can I borrow some shampoo?

[Suggestive music]

Gwen: Ava! Ava, are you in there? I need to talk to you. It’s really important. Kristen, what the hell are you doing here?

[Door opens]

Warden: Can I help you?

Xander: [Irish accent] Hello. I’m father callum o’brien, and I was hoping I could help you.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Xander: Now, I’m sure you’re a busy lass, but I’ll only be taking a minute of your time. You see, our parish is very interested in helping with your literacy program. Fine, fine work you’re doing–

[Phone rings]

Warden: Excuse me.

Xander: No problem.

Warden: Yes, what is it? Damn it, I’ll be right there. I’m sorry, father, there’s an emergency. If you’ll have a seat, I’ll be back shortly.

Xander: Of course, of course. Take all the time in the world.

Sarah: The warden is on her way to a non-existent prisoner altercation in block C. We have ten minutes to download everything we need.

Xander: And may the holy father be blessing the efforts of this poor child to escape taking the rap for a heinous crime she did not commit.

Sarah: Good god, I’m breaking into prison records with the lucky charms leprechaun.

Xander: Hey, that was liam neeson; it was perfect.

Sarah: You’re right, it totally was. And this could all just be a wild goose chase. I mean, who is stupid enough to keep records of when they just happened to lose track of a prisoner? The warden of statesville.

Xander: Yeah.

Sarah: Yeah.

Kristen: Well, my brother and ava let me crash here when I was released. Being here is bittersweet. I was looking forward to knowing jake a bit better.

Gwen: So sorry for your loss.

Kristen: Oh, and yours. I mean, you and jake were together, right?

Gwen: Yeah, before he stomped all over my heart.

Kristen: You have one?

Gwen: [Clears throat] So where is ava?

Kristen: Well, ava doesn’t live here anymore.

Gwen: Where did she go?

Kristen: The dimera mansion. I’d say that is trading up, wouldn’t you?

Ava: What–what is the matter with you? Don’t you know how to knock?

Johnny: I–I did. You didn’t answer.

Ava: What?

Johnny: You didn’t–you–

Ava: Oh.

Johnny: Look, I’m sorry for barging in on you, but what are you doing in my uncle chad’s bedroom?

Ava: Doesn’t anyone talk to each other in this family? Your father invited me to move in.

Johnny: Uh, why?

Ava: Because I married your uncle.

Johnny: You married my uncle chad?

Sonny: Okay, alex, before we go making any more wild claims, I would like to introduce you to my best friend and the guest of the house, chad dimera. Chad, this is my doofus brother, alex.

Alex: My bad. I’m sorry.

Sonny: You know, you always make, like, the best first impressions.

Alex: I really am sorry, sonny. I’ve been told that I can be–

Sonny: Like, a jerk?

Alex: Very direct when it comes to business.

Chad: Well, we dimeras are always very polite.

Alex: That’s what people say. Alex kiriakis. Don’t move.

Chad: Yeah. Um, I can’t believe we’ve never met. I’ve heard about you forever.

Alex: Same here. Same here. And I’m really sorry to hear about your wife, chad. From what sonny told me, she sounded like an amazing person.

Chad: Thank you. She was.

Alex: I’m sorry about barging in like that. You know, and sonny, I’m surprised that you didn’t know about that, like–

Sonny: About what?

Alex: About why the job is no longer available. Uncle victor gave it to me.

Sarah: And I’m in.

Xander: You’re a veritable mozart on this keyboard, eh?

Sarah: Well, it helps that the warden’s still logged in. Okay, so gwen– how the hell do you spell that last name?

Xander: R-I-z-c-z-e-c-H.

Sarah: Woof. And you’re sure that all the prison records are in the same place?

Xander: I’m pretty sure. It’s kind of like your high school report card. They keep track of every infraction, every license plate you make.

Sarah: Ooh. Got it. Okay, so gwen’s files are downloading. About three minutes, and we can get the hell out of here.

Xander: Language, my child. Ugh, this bloody collar’s choking me.

Sarah: Yeah, but it’s so sexy.

Xander: Sexy?

Sarah: Uh-huh. The roman collar is an essential wardrobe component to the hot priest. Makes a woman want to get him to take it off.

Xander: That’s preposterous.

Sarah: Mm-mm, it’s a very, very real phenomenon.

Warden: Father! Exactly what is going on here?

Migraine attacks?

Sonny: Wait, uncle vic gave you the evp job–when?

Alex: Last night.

Sonny: I am the ceo. He cannot hand you a job without talking to me first.

Alex: I’m sorry, sonny boy. I told you I was interested in the position, and you didn’t seem to have a problem with it.

Sonny: I do–I do not have a problem with it, but it is my call, okay? And I don’t like you sneaking around my back like that.

Alex: I wasn’t sneaking around your back, sonny. Uncle victor came to me. More like he summoned me.

Sonny: I see.

Alex: And I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were interested in the job.

Chad: It’s okay. I wasn’T.

Alex: And I’m sorry that uncle victor didn’t tell you about this. I told him that you should have been sitting in on that meeting.

Sonny: It’s fine. It’s fine. Okay.

Alex: Okay.

Sonny: We’ll just–we’ll talk about it later. Anyways, I’m sure chad doesn’t want to watch us hash this out.

Alex: Fair enough. I was on my way to hr. Apparently, there’s a mountain of paperwork for me to fill out. So see you at the office?

Sonny: Guess so.

Alex: Chad, nice to meet you, man.

Chad: [Groans]

Sonny: So you have met my brother now.

Chad: Really reminds me of someone. I can’t think of who, though.

Sonny: Drawing a blank.

Xander: Warden, I can only imagine how that must have looked to you.

Warden: Who is that woman?

Xander: This would be mary frances mchugh, the president of our sodality.

Warden: Doesn’t it make that little episode even more inappropriate?

Xander: Ah, well, I’m afraid that mary frances does have difficulty with impulse control. In fact, we should probably be going, mary frances. I fear that that initial pat down has got her over-stimulated.

Warden: Wait a minute. You look familiar, father.

Xander: Well, I’ve been told that I do bear a passing resemblance to st. Sebastian. Poor lad; that must have been very painful. And truly, the number of arrows was very excessive. Hey, mary frances, we should really be going. I have a feeling that you’re in need of a damn good confession. And warden, may the wind be always at your back.

Gwen: Well, I knew jake and ava were living together. I didn’t realize they were thinking of getting married.

Kristen: Hm. Neither did I. So what is it that you wanted to talk to ava about?

Gwen: Just wanted to say that I’m sorry about jake.

Kristen: Really? “I need to talk to you. It’s so very important. Thank god you’re here.” I mean, it seems a particularly urgent condolence call. So gwennie, what’s the real reason you’re here?

Johnny: You married my uncle chad? Look, my aunt abigail just died. His children just lost their mother!

Ava: Okay, calm down. Didn’t marry your uncle chad.

Johnny: Then why are you in his room? Where is he?

Ava: I married your uncle jake.

Johnny: Ah. Oh. Sorry, my uncle jake’s not exactly the first thing that comes to mind when you say “my uncle.” I take it, since I never even heard about it, it wasn’t a very big wedding?

Ava: Yeah, sorry you weren’t invited. No one was.

Johnny: Yeah, I don’t blame him for not wanting to have a bunch of dimeras there. Look, I was never really close with the guy, but, uh, I am sorry for your loss.

Ava: Thanks. It’s good to know that someone cared enough to let you know he was dead.

Johnny: In fairness, I haven’t been around much lately. So my father has invited you to stay here.

Ava: Yeah. He was very compassionate, very generous– as soon as he found out that I had inherited jake’s estate.

Johnny: Ah. Ah. Well, welcome to the family. You might want to think about getting a food taster. I will grab some shampoo, be out of your way. Uh… sorry about that.

Ava: I’m not.

Johnny: Well, I guess we’re even then. Oh, there.

[Door closes]

Allie: My brother is such a dimera. He said, “oh, of course I’m gonna accept chanel’s decision,” but no, no, he knew the whole time he was gonna fight.

Chanel: Uh, horton.

Allie: And flowers? Flowers? Come on. Be original. Like, what’s he gonna do, start writing you sonnets?

Chanel: They’re from my mother.

Allie: Oh. Oh, cute. Um, what’s the occasion?

Chanel: Oh, you know, nothing. Mama doesn’t need a reason to send flowers. It was probably just a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Allie: Okay, then why does the card say “I’m sorry?” Sorry for what? Hey. Dupree, come on. What are you not telling me?

Chanel: Promise you won’t get mad.

Allie: No. Out with it.

Chanel: Well, you were kind of right about johnny. He hasn’t accepted my decision to be with you, and he wanted to get me back, and for, like, a nanosecond, mama thought about helping him.

Allie: And you want me to not be mad, even though your mother would rather you be with johnny, and was going to help him?

Chanel: She was just worried about me, but then she realized that she doesn’t need to be.

Allie: Wait a minute, help him–help him do what?

Chanel: See, this is why I didn’t want to come between you and your brother–

Allie: Help him do what?

Chanel: Look, just– just leave it alone, okay?

Allie: No, okay, sorry, no, I can’t do that. Not gonna happen. And if you’re not gonna tell me what he did, then I’ll go get it straight from the jackass’ mouth.

Chanel: That’s gonna go great. Shingles.

Sonny: It makes me so mad!

Chad: Okay. I didn’t even want the job, sonny.

Sonny: That’s not the point. All right, uncle vic had no right going behind my back like that.

Chad: What did you think, that victor kiriakis was just gonna make you the ceo of titan and then go down to the basement and start making birdcages for fun?

Sonny: No, but it’s still my company. And why would he go to alex, of all people?

Chad: You think alex is lying?

Sonny: I don’t– you’re the one who warned me about working with my brothers.

Chad: Yeah, no, I shouldn’t have done that. I was angry at ej. Alex seems like a good guy.

Alex: [Laughs] Sweet bits. Excuse me, I’m sorry. Do you know who came up with the name sweet bits?

Chanel: I did.

Alex: Really? Okay, I’m sorry, you do know there are gonna be some people who might read into that as something a bit provocative.

Chanel: [Sarcastically] No.

Alex: There are people whose minds really work like that. It’s sad.

Chanel: Yeah, it is sad.

Alex: Yeah.

Chanel: Mm-hmm.

Alex: So you named this place.

Chanel: Mm-hmm.

Alex: Does that mean this is your place?

Chanel: Does that surprise you?

Alex: No. Not at all. I’m intrigued. I mean, you’re out here working the crowds, being hands-on with your business. I like it. What do we got going on? What’s the spread?

Chanel: Let’s see. So we have bear claws, petit fours, and passionfruit mousse.

Alex: Passionfruit mousse…

Chanel: Mm-hmm.

Alex: For the win. How much?

Chanel: Oh, it is a free sample, actually, to entice you into the store.

Alex: Here’s a free business hint. You’re not gonna entice any guy to go in there when you’re standing out here.

Chanel: [Laughs] Yeah, I see. You are one of those smooth-talking big city boys my mama warned me about.

Alex: Mm-mm. Sorry, mama. Salemite, born and bred. I’m actually just moving back here to be closer to the family. I’m alex.

Chanel: Chanel.

Alex: Chanel. How french. Oui, oui. It’s nice to meet you. Or should I say enchenté.

Allie: Hey! We need to get some things straight.

Johnny: Oh, hey, allie. Something wrong?

Allie: Yeah, you know something’s wrong. I just heard from chanel that you tried to recruit her mother to help break us up?

Johnny: She turned me down–

Allie: Okay, johnny, that’s not the point. Look, you said that you were going to accept and respect chanel’s decision. I won. And that means that you now need to deal with the fact that chanel and I are together.

Ava: Oh. Are you? Well, that didn’t take long.

Gwen: Paying condolences is very important.

Kristen: Mmm. Since when are you and ava even friends? She got you sent to prison before I got you out.

Gwen: And I’m very grateful for that.

Kristen: Good. So then prove it to me by telling me what you’re hiding. What’s the deal between you and ava, gwen, hm?

Sarah: I just pray to god we downloaded everything before the warden came back.

Xander: I’m just glad that we got out of there before she remembered that I was a guest of the state at one point. So what have you got?

Sarah: Mm, visitor logs, call logs, disciplinary records.

Xander: That is a lot of dress code violations.

Sarah: Oh, my god. Look at this. Abigail was killed on june 10th. This shows that gwen went missing from bed check on june 10th. Unaccounted for for several hours. Which means no one knew where gwen was when abigail was murdered. -Well, I’m not 100% sold yet. -Okay, have you considered —

Sarah: So now the question is, is this enough to take to the cops?

Xander: We still don’t have enough evidence. We can’t prove that gwen left the prison that night.

Sarah: No. But we do know that lucas swore that he saw me at the mansion that night. And I can prove that that wasn’t me. We could go to the cops and tell them that we found that damn mask in gwen’s suitcase and that she took off with it and tried to get rid of it. And now we can prove that she went off the radar that night.

Xander: But–

Sarah: But we don’t have the mask. And we can’t prove that she left statesville that night.

Xander: And that new lady detective ain’t exactly open to hearing what we have to say.

Sarah: Hmm. But we know that gwen did it, so now we just have to figure how.

Xander: Maybe she bribed a guard.

Sarah: Yeah, but then why would it be reported? Wouldn’t a guard want to cover their tracks? Could it be somebody from the outside?

Xander: Let’s check the visitor logs.

Sarah: Wait. Abigail visited gwen that day.

Xander: Well, that is very interesting, but I don’t see abigail helping gwen get out.

Sarah: Mm-mm. And the only other person that visited gwen that day was me. I went to tell her the good news about us getting back together.

Xander: I’m sure she was thrilled for us.

Sarah: I really did enjoy rubbing that particular salt in her wounds.

Xander: Oh, look, so the next day, she sees leo stark and… ava vitali?

Sarah: Ava? That’s strange.

Xander: Right. I mean, ava sold gwen down the river to get immunity. Why would she be visiting her?

Allie: What are you doing here?

Ava: I live here. It’s a long story.

Allie: Right. Ah, well, this is kind of a private conversation.

Ava: Oh, about your girlfriend? That’s sweet. But wait, just explain something to me. Wasn’t it just, like, what, a month ago that you told my son that you loved him?

Allie: Yes, but–

Ava: But you were wrestling with your sexual identity? Right, you were trying to feel your way through, so to speak, and so instead of being direct with tripp, you decided that you’d string him along and give him mixed signals, so basically you just drove him out of town.

Allie: I am sincerely sorry for hurting tripp.

Ava: For hurting him? You broke his heart. He literally died for you, and then you dumped him.

Allie: Ava, I don’t want this to sound like a threat, because it’s not a threat. It’s just the truth. You and I need to be very careful with each other– for henry’s sake, because I want you to be in his life. I really do. But that’s not gonna happen if you speak to me like this.

Ava: Understood. You’re right.

Allie: Thank you. And just wondering, since when were you team johnny? I didn’t even know that you knew him.

Johnny: Oh, intimately.

Allie: Hm? What was that?

Johnny: I said you need to relax.

Allie: Not if you keep trying to come between me and chanel.

Johnny: I’m not. I’m over her, promise.

Allie: Mm-hmm. I know how much a dimera promise means. Just back off, johnny. Or I’ll have to go full brady on you.

Gwen: I don’t see how my relationship with ava is any of your business.

Kristen: I have been frozen out of my family’s business. Meanwhile, ava has inherited jake’s stock, and since ej needs to claw his way back to the head of that company, he has moved ava into my house.

Gwen: So you are looking for something that you can use against her.

Kristen: Mm, maybe.

Gwen: I’m sorry. I can’t help you.

Kristen: Can’t or won’t?

Gwen: Can’T.

Kristen: Fine. You and ava can have your little secrets, but don’t forget what I did for you. After all, I may be asking for something in return one of these days. I was on an antidepressant,

Sonny: I mean, when I was younger, joe and vic could be, like, huge jerks. Like, it was like they genuinely enjoyed making my life a living hell, but then alex would take them aside and, you know, make them reconsider their role as older siblings.

Chad: Sometimes all it takes is the right word.

Sonny: [Laughs] Yeah. If I’m being honest, I used to– I thought alex walked on water.

Chad: Thought? Past tense?

Sonny: I don’t know. It’s just, he seems to think that, you know, he needs to– or he gets to watch over me, like it’s the natural order of things, that he’s always gonna be in charge.

Chad: Is that what happened in phoenix?

Sonny: No. No, I think it was just different opinions on the chain of command.

Chad: Mm. It is so surprising to hear about conflict within a family business.

Sonny: Funny. It’s like, I don’t even have a problem working with alex. I just, I don’t want to fight with him the same way joe and vic did.

Chad: Well, looks that way.

Sonny: I was gonna give him a job at titan. Just not this one. I guess I have no choice now.

Alex: This is the best thing I have ever tasted–almost.

Chanel: Well, come back tomorrow and we’ll have mango.

Alex: Mm? Oh, my god. I can’t believe there is a patisserie like this here in salem. It’s unbelievable. And it’s amazing how much this place has actually changed. Maybe you could, um, help me get reoriented.

Chanel: You know what, there is an app for that.

Alex: An app?

Chanel: Mm-hmm.

Alex: I was thinking more of, like, a, you know, night on the town? Maybe a little dinner, maybe a lot of drinks, maybe a lot more dancing in those shoes.

Chanel: Sorry, I can’T.

Alex: You can’T. You have a boyfriend. Should have known.

Chanel: I did, but we broke up.

Alex: You broke up? So he’s blind. He’s an idiot? Oh, he’s both.

Chanel: Neither.

Alex: Neither? So then, what’s the problem? I’m single. You’re single.

Chanel: I didn’t say that.

Alex: But you did say you broke up with your boyfriend.

Chanel: Mm-hmm. And now, I’m with my girlfriend. Oh, and there she is now.

Ava: Sorry I shot my mouth off like that.

Johnny: You know, she really does feel bad about tripp.

Ava: Yeah? Well, I guess I’m gonna have to just get used to it. Speaking of which, did you mean what you said? You’re really– you’re really over chanel?

Johnny: Well, I don’t have a choice. Pining after someone’s not really my style. And I hate fighting with my sister, so.

Ava: Oh, yeah, well, I can see why.

Johnny: You know, the problem is, I’m just– I’m not very good at letting things go.

Ava: Oh, I can relate.

Johnny: Hm. Anyway, uh, thanks for having my back, especially since we just met.

Ava: Oh, well, like you said, we are now intimately acquainted.

Johnny: Yeah. Yeah. Again, I’m sorry about that.

Ava: Ah, it’s all forgotten.

Johnny: Really?

Ava: Well, mostly.

Gwen: You let me know when you’re ready to call in that favor.

Kristen: I will. And give ava my regards.

Gwen: You know, I can’t help wondering. Ava is in your family’s mansion, while you, the dimera heiress, are stuck living in this dump above a garage.

Kristen: Hm. Well, the smell of motor oil makes me feel so close to jake. Truth is, ej offered to let me move into his mansion, but he wanted certain concessions I wasn’t willing to make.

Gwen: Trust me, that mansion is not at all all that splendid. It is bloody haunted, I swear it is. And it looks like a mausoleum.

Kristen: [Chuckling] Well, I will be redecorating it one of these days.

Sarah: So in addition to abigail, gwen made two phone calls on the day of the murder, one before I went to visit her and one after. The first one was to leo, and the second was to ava vitali.

Moving forward with node-

positive breast cancer

Chanel: How did it go?

Allie: Well, you’ll be happy to hear that there was no bloodshed. You have mousse on your face.

Alex: Thank you.

Allie: Yeah. You’re welcome.

Chanel: Horton, this is…

Alex: Alex kiriakis.

Allie: Oh, no way, sonny’s brother.

Alex: Yeah, that’s right.

Allie: Hey. Allie horton.

Alex: Nice to meet you.

Allie: Nice to meet you.

Chanel: You’re a kiriakis. I’m surprised you didn’t lead with that.

Alex: Ah.

Chanel: He was just hitting on me.

Alex: Until I found out that you guys were gay.

Allie: Actually, I’m bi.

Chanel: And I’m me.

Alex: And I’m honest. You two are a very, very sexy couple.

Allie: Ooh, not the classic straight guy thinking two women together is hot.

Alex: Yes. That’s because it is. Now, I just got turned down by your girlfriend when I was hitting on her. So maybe instead, I could take out the both of you.

Allie: And why would you do that?

Alex: Because the only people I know in this town are my relatives. And I think it would be amazing to have two beautiful women showing me around town. My treat, of course.

Allie: Mm. I don’t know.

Chanel: Horton, my mama told me to never turn down a five-star meal.

Alex: Five-star?

Chanel: I mean, we deserve nothing but the best, and you look like you can afford it, so.

Alex: Touché.

Chanel: So what do you say?

Allie: Sure. Why not?

Sarah: So I went to see gwen, got her all riled up. Next thing you know, she calls ava, somehow gets out of prison, abigail is killed, and then ava comes back to see gwen the next day?

Xander: And what about leo? I mean, he made contact with gwen before and after abigail was murdered too.

Sarah: Yeah. But leo is gwen’s friend, so he had a reason to visit. Ava didn’T.

Xander: Right. Also, ava has those mob connections. I mean, she’s probably the one person besides the governor who has the pull that you would need to get gwen out of statesville.

Sarah: Looks like we need to go have a talk with ms. Vitali.

Johnny: So if you need anything, just let me know.

Ava: Like shampoo.

Johnny: Just help yourself. We’re one big happy family here. Right, nonno? You.

Gwen: Hi. Yeah, harold let me in.

Johnny: Did he really? Well, it’s great to see you, gwen, as always. Please feel free to stop by anytime. I’ll see you later, ava.

Gwen: Well, wasn’t exactly a warm welcome.

Ava: Well, what did you expect?

Gwen: [Sighs] Nothing. I don’t expect much of anything these days. Look, I need to talk to you.

Ava: Okay. How did you know I was here?

Gwen: I went to your old flat; kristen told me.

Ava: Oh. How is our old friend?

Gwen: Oh, my–bloody hell. Is–is that my ring?

Ava: Yeah, um, I’m sorry. I’m sorry, jake– jake got it for me.

Gwen: Oh, he did, did he?

Ava: Yes, he did. I asked him to bring it back because I didn’t want to hurt your feelings, and–

Gwen: And?

Ava: I was afraid it was gonna bring bad luck. Sorry.

Gwen: Yeah, well, you were right about that.

[Sighs] I never actually thought that you and jake would get married.

Ava: Well, we did. But I can’t imagine that you came all the way over here to tell me that.

Gwen: No. They brought sarah horton in. Turns out that they have evidence that she may have killed abigail. But now she has an alibi, so that means–

Ava: The police are gonna be looking for someone else.

Gwen: Yes. Which is why you have to swear you are not gonna tell anybody that you helped me get out of statesville the day that abigail was killed.

Ava: Is that because you’re the one who killed her? Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Sonny: Listen, chad, um, when I thought I lost will, I mean, I was so overwhelmed by grief that I thought I was never gonna get out of it. So I started talking to someone, a counselor. And it didn’t bring will back, but it made me feel a hell of a lot better.

Chad: Well, the only person I have to talk to right now is thomas, so I’m gonna go home and see if I can make things right with him.

Sonny: I know you will.

Chad: I wish I was as sure as you are. Thank you.

Sonny: Go talk to thomas.

Chad: Yeah. Boop.

Sonny: And I’ll talk to alex.

Alex: Well, I would give you my business card, but it’s still at the printers.

Chanel: Well, I’ll be in touch.

Alex: Okay. And I’ll know where to find you if you’re not, little miss sweet bits.

Chanel: He’s cute, isn’t he?

Allie: Uh, should i be jealous?

Chanel: What, you didn’t think he was cute?

Allie: No, he’s smoking hot. I just–you know, I’m excited to see where he takes us.

Chanel: So how did it go with johnny?

Allie: Oh, well, I went over there expecting to serve him his head on a platter, and instead I got mine handed to me. Tripp’s mom was there.

Chanel: What was she doing there?

Allie: I really don’t know.

[Suggestive music]

Gwen: No, of course I didn’t kill abigail. But yes, I had motive, and if the cops find out that I had opportunity, that’s not–that’s not gonna look good for either one of us.

Ava: Oh, are you threatening me? After I went out of my way to do you a favor.

Gwen: I’m just pointing out that it would be in our mutual interest for both of us to keep our mouths shut.

Ava: Well, don’t worry. Your secret is safe with me.

Xander: So it sounds like ava could be the key.

Sarah: Yeah, she has to be. If we can figure out how ava got gwen out of prison, then we can prove that gwen is the one that killed abigail.

Kristen: Rolf, it’s me. How’s stefan? Any change? Yes, I know you said it would take some time, but as you are well aware, I am not a very patient person. I need this done. Stefan dimera is not staying on ice forever.

Steffy: You and dad kissed, that has to mean something.

Taylor: It always means something.

Steffy: Okay, so did you guys talk about it?

Taylor: We did, kind of I mean, he’s trying to avoid it and he’s being cute about it, which is totally annoying. So– I don’t know.

Steffy: Look at you. Okay, you don’t know what this meant to dad but it’s uh, it’s pretty clear it meant something to you.

Brooke: Oh ridge, you should be overjoyed right now. Your daughter’s family is back together and her husband is alive.

Ridge: I am extremely grateful for all of that.

Brooke: But… there’s something else on your mind. It’s okay. If there’s something troubling you or you’re worried about something, I’m the one to share it with. So what is it? You can talk to me.

Liam: How long are the kids gonna be out?

Hope: Um, a while I uh, I told aunt donna to text me when she’s coming back.

Liam: That’s a good idea my very smart, very hot wife.

Hope: You know what, I’m full of ideas right now.

Liam: Oh yeah, like what?

Hope: Mmm…

[ Sighs ]

Taylor: I’m not trying to make a big deal out of it, you know, it’s– it was just one really long kiss.

Steffy: Yeah, one kiss with the man you love in one of the most romantic places in the world.

Taylor: We had a moment.

Steffy: Just a moment?

Taylor: Uh-huh. I mean, it seemed significant at the time, you know, but as always, it’s complicated.

Steffy: Complications are a cop-out. That’s what I believe now, I do. I mean, ever since the shooting, finn coming back into my life, like, I realized life is too precious. You got to go out there and get what you want.

Taylor: See, that’s never been a problem for you. You’re my inspiration. My brave, adventurous girl.

Finn: Hey, I’m back.

Steffy: Don’t say anything about li

Taylor: Of course not.

Steffy: Hi.

Finn: Hey.

Steffy: How was your appointment?

Finn: Good, I mean, I almost missed it. So many people were stopping me to say hello.

Steffy: Okay, what happened with your exam?

Finn: Oh, they’re just, they’re gonna keep me on the same meds that my mom had me on but, I’m doing remarkably well.

Steffy: He didn’t say anything else? That’s it?

Finn: Yeah, yeah.

Taylor: Okay, that’s– that’s a relief.

Finn: Okay, well, I hope you aren’t too worried about it. I– I get the feeling like I’m walking in on something.

Steffy: It’s nothing bad. I was just actually having a conversation with my mom. She has, uh, she has some wonderful news.

[ Taylor stammers ]

Brooke: Ridge, you’re very thoughtful and you hate to see the people closest to you upset.

Ridge: It’s true.

Brooke: Is it sheila?

Ridge: Sheila? What? No, I– no. What do you mean? I don’t–

Brooke: Well, I don’t know if something’s on your mind. Is it something about li? Why keep this all bottled up? I mean, we’re so excited about the future.

Ridge: So am I. I am too.

Brooke: Yes, of course you are. You and taylor must be through thrilled to know that finn’s alive, that he’s back with steffy and her family and now you don’t have to worry about her anymore.

Ridge: It was– it was crazy not– not just hearing his voice on the phone that was– was weird enough but then he showed up in the hotel room and it almost felt like, like this– like everything was lifted and this fog was gone and taylor and I, we got swept up in it, you know?

Brooke: I’m sure. What you and taylor shared in monaco must have been extremely special.

Ridge: Yeah, it was.

Without the right start

to your day…

[ Hope sighs ]

Hope: I never want this to change.

Liam: Never, huh? You don’t think that could get a little, uh…

Hope: Mmm. Mm-mm. Not with you. And I love you. And I love our family. And I love these moments where we can just reconnect with each other. And bask in each other’s love.

Brooke: I’m not trying to pry. I do understand that what happened in monaco was very significant for you and taylor. You guys are her parents. And you were worried about her. I know it’s hard to see a child suffering and you can’t ease their pain. But after all that time that steffy was grieving, it must’ve been amazing to see her happy again.

Ridge: Just seeing those guys walk into the hotel room holding hands. It– I don’t– I don’t know how to explain it.

Brooke: It’s okay, you don’t have to explain everything to me. Those memories are for you and taylor.

Ridge: It’s just a lot to process.

Brooke: Oh, you’ll just tell me in your own time. I’m just so thrilled for you.

Finn: Wow, unexpected reunions are breaking out all over.

Taylor: Well, it’s–

Steffy: Look you and dad kissed. It doesn’t guarantee anything. But… obviously, you’re feeling something.

Taylor: I sure felt something. What? No, we were swept up in the moment of joy, that was it.

Steffy: I get that you want to protect yourself. You have been burned before.

Taylor: Yeah. Multiple times, for years. Your father just moved in with brooke.

Steffy yeah, but then you guys went to monaco.

Taylor: Yeah, well, that hasn’t changed since we got home.

Steffy: He’s just helping her after her accident.

Taylor: She probably fell on purpose.

Steffy: That’s true

Taylor: No, I think it’s more than him just helping her out.

Steffy: Has he recommitted himself to brooke? No, he hasn’T. And after that kiss, I dunno, he might not.

Taylor: I don’t want to think about it. I– I really don’T. I just, I– I don’t want to think about it. I don’t want to get wrapped up in all of this. You know, right now, the most important thing to me is– is you and finn being together. Your beautiful family. You know, you know I came downstairs this morning and– and kelly was singing at the top of her lungs and she was doing these happy little turns in the middle of the living room. And this whole house is filled with love again and joy and happiness. And hayes has his father back and kelly has a reason to sing. Please don’t wish anything for me, okay, because, because my heart’s desire is right here in front of me.

Steffy: I love you so much.

Taylor: I love you too. I love you both. And on that note, I’m gonna get out of here because I’m not sure when amelia’s gonna come back with the kids but you two deserve some much-needed privacy.

Finn: I like the way your mom thinks.

Steffy: So do I.

And it’s easier than ever to get

your projects done right .

Finn: We’re alone.

Steffy: Now you can tell me how you really feel.

Finn: What? That’s not obvious?

Steffy: How did it go with the doctors and your appointment?

Finn: It’s kind of a mood killer babe.

Steffy: Not if there’s something wrong.

Finn: There’s not. Okay, I’m all good. I’m still healing but there’s no permanent damage.

Steffy: So… no restrictions. No orders to take it easy.

Finn: No.

Steffy: Okay.

Finn: I can, uh, resume normal activity right away.

Steffy: I know how long we’ve been apart. Normal activity means something a little different to us.

Finn: She said not to worry, I’m getting stronger every day.

Steffy: Good. I’m glad to hear it.

Brooke: I hope I didn’t come at a bad time.

Liam: Oh, no, no, no, no, it’s fine.

Hope: Yeah, it’s totally okay. So, how are things going with ridge? Any uh, backlash from that photo I posted yet are we–

Brooke: Honey I told you not to worry about that. Deacon is the last thing on my husband’s mind right now.

Liam: Really? Why? What’s going on?

Brooke: I just think that ridge and taylor are still overwhelmed by finn’s return.

Liam: Well yeah, I mean it’s– it’s emotional whiplash. They went over to monaco because they were so concerned about steffy, only to find out that the man she’s been grieving is alive.

Brooke: Seems like what happened there had a very profound impact on ridge.

[ Knocking ]

Ridge: Hey, you’re back. Hi.

Taylor: Hi. Is this a bad time?

Ridge: Never a bad time. Actually, I was just thinking about you

Taylor: Yeah? Tell me more.

Steffy: Whoa.

Finn: It’s not quite as romantic as monaco.

>Steffy: It definitely is. To have you be here… in our house… I never thought I was gonna get a moment like this. To see you, to feel you. You have no idea how much I needed that. Kids can change minds…

Liam: Ridge has gotta be thrilled though.

Brooke: Oh he is, of course. We all are. But still, a sudden shift like that, no matter how wonderful it is, can still throw you off balance a little bit.

Liam: Huh. I think I know someone who could help him out with that.

Brooke: Yeah? I’ll be there of course and I’ll be supportive. But still, ridge and taylor experienced something incredible over in monaco, and this is their moment.

Liam: Well, it’s very cool of you to even let them have it, so.

Brooke: A little while ago, I may not have been as magnanimous but ridge is living with me right now. Not sure exactly what that means for our marriage, but I just… I don’t want him to have to choose between our family and his family with taylor.

Ridge: So, what’s it like at the house? Party central, I bet, huh?

Taylor: Yeah, yeah, it is. It’s literally the happiest house I’ve ever been in.

Ridge: I bet it is.

Taylor: You’re welcome to join us anytime.

Ridge: Oh, thank you. Yeah, I was thinking about that driving into work this morning, how– how it must be over there at the breakfast table. Everyone laughing and noisy and…

Taylor: Yeah. You miss it?

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: Like I said, you are welcome to come anytime you want. Except this afternoon.

Ridge: Why not this afternoon?

Taylor: Because um, our daughter and her husband are reconnecting.

Ridge: Oh!

Taylor: Yeah, so–

Ridge: That’s, that’s why you’re here

Taylor: Yes. Yes, I needed to give them some privacy. Right?

Ridge: Enough said. Got it.

Taylor: Ah ridge, it’s– it’s so amazing that finn is home and steffy and finn got a second chance. What’s better than second chances, really? Except for maybe third or whatever the number may be.

Steffy: I thought I lost you

Finn: But you didn’t and you won’T.

Steffy: I’m never gonna take another moment with you for granted. We need to show each other and we need to tell each other… how much we love one another.

How to Watch Days of Our Lives on Peacock!

Posted on by TvMegasite Admin

HOW TO WATCH DAYS ON PEACOCK TV! by Suzanne

Friday, September 9 is the last date that “Days of Our Lives” will air on NBC! We’re sure you’ve already heard this by now. It’s moving to PeacockTV! It will start airing there Sept. 12.

Feeling lost? Don’t worry, we’re all in this same boat!  Most of us didn’t grow up with streaming technology and streaming TV shows.  We’re here to help you. We know – you just want to keep watching your favorite soap, but you’re not sure how this all works.

First, you might find your answers here in this article about streaming. Go read that first! Don’t worry if it’s still confusing.

PeacockTV is a streaming service owned by NBC/Universal. They also own NBC, Syfy, USA Network, E! Telemundo and other cable networks.  PeacockTV is neither a broadcast network like NBC, nor is it a cable network like the others. It’s online only; AKA streaming.  That means you must have some kind of internet in order to access it. Now, you may have that internet already and not realize it. If you’re on Facebook, do email, or get Netflix on your SmartTV, then you probably already have it.

If you’re completely confused about all of this, I would recommend that you find someone you know that is tech-savvy (possibly a son, daughter, nephew, niece or grandchild, or whomever you call when you have computer or electronic problems) and get them to set it up for you. It will save you a lot of hassle and headaches.

PeacockTV is just another streaming service, like Netflix, HULU, Amazon Prime, Paramount+, Disney+ and others.  These services are only accessible via the internet, but they’re a lot more so than they used to be.  Did you know that people over 50 are the fastest-growing audience for streaming services? So you’re not alone.

Now, you may decide that it’s too expensive to have a streaming service. That’s up to you, of course. You may also consider getting rid of your cable or satellite and just having a few streaming services. Some of them, like HULU and YouTube, have live TV… not just movies and TV shows that you can watch any time. Also, a lot of services are doing bundling now to make them cheaper, so you might want to go to Google and research what options you have.

At any rate, “Days of Our Lives” is moving to PeacockTV as of Sept. 12 and will no longer be available on NBC at all.  The upside is that you will probably be able to watch it sooner than you could before. Most TV shows on streaming drop in the early morning.  Also, you can watch them at any time after that – no more having to use your DVR, DVD recorder or VCR if you want to keep a copy for later. Lastly, you can watch many older Days episodes as well as thousands of other shows.

There are three different choices for Peacock services: Free, Premium and Premium Plus. Unfortunately, you can’t watch Days on the Free plan.  The whole reason they’re moving it to PeacockTV is because they can no longer afford to air it for free. (More on that below.)  You can only watch it by subscribing to the Premium service, which is $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year if you pay ahead of time.  The second one is cheaper.  If you get Premium Plus, you will have no commercials. There are other benefits as well, so click on the link to see the options.

However, if you sign up in September, 2022, as a new member, you can get the premium service for only $1.99 a month or just $19.99 for a year. Great deal!

The easiest way to sign up is on a computer, if you have one. Go to  https://www.peacocktv.com and put in your email address to sign up for the free service.  From there, you can check it out and see how it works. OR you can scroll down and click on the purple boxes for Premium or Plus. This will take you to a page with a form to fill out. Once you’ve created your account, you’ll need to give them a credit card for the payment.

If you don’t have a computer, then you can use your phone or tablet. Simply download the Peacock app; once it’s installed, open it and register there the same way as described above.  If you have an Android device, then you can find apps in the Play Store. If you have an Apple iPhone or iPad, then your apps are in iTunes. (Again, you can get help from someone if you don’t know how to do this)  Android has help, and so does Apple. Your cell phone provider may also be of help. For instance, if your phone is with Verizon, you can phone Verizon technical support for help.

If you want to watch Peacock on your TV, then you’ll need a Smart TV or some external device that attaches to your TV, such as a ROKU or Firestick. These are pretty cheap. You can find them very cheap at Wal-Mart or Amazon.

I have a ROKU, and it’s very easy to connect to your TV. I’ve heard that the Firestick is also very easy. With both of these devices, you can watch many streaming channels, not just PeacockTV (and there are many free ones as well).

If you have a computer, you can also hook it up to your TV using an HDMI cable or by using a Google Chromecast device to stream from your computer to your TV. An HDMI cable is pretty cheap. If your laptop doesn’t have an HDMI port, you may need to get an adapter.

Once you have it hooked up, and you’re watching PeacockTV, do a search for “Days of Our Lives” if it’s not already showing up near the top. When you’re there in the Days section, Click on “My Stuff” and then you’ll always have it there in that list, easy to access.

If you need any help, you go to their help page.  If you can’t find what you need there, go to this page for live chat or to send them a message. Feel free to contact us if you need further help!

If you already have the free Peacock plan, then you need to upgrade.  There should be a link on the Peacock app or site on your device that says “account” or if you’re on a computer, go to https://www.peacocktv.com/account/plans Click on “change or cancel plans.” It should be obvious from there…. if you’re on the free version, you might have to add your credit card in order to upgrade.

There are many rumors flying around the internet about this move. NBC/Universal is not trying to be “greedy.” They have a business to run, like anyone else. They’re in the TV business. Whenever they air a TV show, they have pay for it by getting money from sponsors (commercials). If the show’s ratings are too low, then they can’t get money from the sponsors. Their local affiliates will not want to air low-rated shows, either. If they can get more money by airing local shows or re-runs, they will. By moving Days to Peacock, they’re trying to save it rather than cancel it. They’re well aware that it has a long history and millions of fans worldwide. However, right now barely over a million people actually watch it every day. (It’s not just Days that has low ratings – all the daytime soaps are doing poorly in the ratings)  They’re hoping that moving it to Peacock will bring more subscribers and more viewers to the show.  Boycotting NBC or sending them nasty letters will not do any good (even if that makes you feel good).

I’m sure that the network is sad that they will lose some viewers because some won’t be able to watch Days any more because they can’t afford the extra fee or because they don’t have dependable internet. They didn’t have a choice, though, to keep it on NBC… it was this or cancel it. They’re a business and must sometimes make these tough decisions.  It’s not fair, we know…but it’s not fair to expect them to keep losing money, either.

The show will be available on the W Network and other places in Canada. Click on the link to see the details. For other countries, Google it to find out!

Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Recap written by Christine

Abby went to the Ranch looking for Victoria, and Nikki said she was still at work. Abby had reached out to Victoria several times since Ashland’s death, but she hadn’t gotten much of a response. Nikki said Victoria had been busy with Newman Enterprises, but she’d been very strong. Abby wasn’t surprised. Victoria was the toughest person she knew. Nikki said Ashland’s death was a shock, but she didn’t think many tears would be shed. Abby wished Chance wasn’t so determined to cross every T and dot every I. She was sure this investigation would end soon. Nikki asked if Chance said what he was investigating. Abby didn’t know specifics, but she guessed Chance was being thorough because of all Ashland’s lies. Nikki thought that the longer this went on, the more difficult it would be on Victoria. She thought it would be best for everyone if Chance backed off.

Devon was at work. He called Amanda just to check in. The call ended, and he saw that Elena was there. She had a personal question about Nate. Devon didn’t think he was the best person to discuss Nate with right now. Elena was trying to get a sense of the work dynamic here, because she could tell Nate was having a hard time, and she knew he would hate her broaching the subject with Devon. Devon thought that was all the more reason not to have this conversation. Elena was concerned though, and she guessed Nate felt touchy about discussing work things with her, due to her history with Devon. She knew it wasn’t her place to interfere, but she cared about the relationship between Devon and Nate, and she felt regret about the damage she caused his family. She asked if there was anything she could do to help fix things.

Devon said what was going on between him and Nate had nothing to do with Elena. She sighed in relief. He said work didn’t change the way he felt about Nate as family, but as a C-suite executive, Nate had created a few issues. Devon took some of the blame for not easing Nate into a high level position instead of just throwing him in the deep end. Elena knew Devon had business experience, and he’d been guided by Neil, but she said Nate wasn’t a recent college grad, just starting out in the world, and he probably shouldn’t be treated as one. She asked if Devon had put up defenses when it came to Nate. He said no, all he’d done was clearly lay out how he believed the hierarchy should work. Nate’s reluctance to embrace it made Devon wonder if it was a mistake to bring him on board.

Devon and Abby ran into each other at Society. she thanked him for the picture of Dominic. He was using it on his phone lock screen. Abby said Chance had made it his lock screen too. He asked if Chance would be coming here. She didn’t think so – he’d been working crazy hours tying up loose ends on the Locke car crash. She had a feeling Chance was keeping something from her, because her family was involved, and that couldn’t be good. Devon said Abby could trust Chance to do the right thing. She knew that, but she was worried about her sister.

Abby asked about Devon and Amanda. He told her about Naya’s coma. Amanda was in Virginia with her mother, and Devon wanted to go, but Amanda said it was fine. He said things had been tense at Chancellor Winters. Working with family had complications. That was why Abby was glad she had Society – her own special place without judgment or interference. She said the place was a big success thanks to Devon and all the advice he gave her. She said he’d been instrumental in two out of the three loves of her life – her work and Dominic. He said at least he’d done something right.

Imani saw Nate at Crimson Lights. He was surprised she wasn’t on her way to see her mom. Her flight wasn’t until tonight. She was an emotional mess. He offered some encouraging words, and she said he always knew how to make her feel better. She’d miss not being able to lean on him while she was gone. He said she’d have Amanda to lean on. She felt conflicted about leaving the job in the lurch. He said the company was built on family, and they were supposed to stick by each other. Imani didn’t think it sounded like Nate’s family was sticking by him.

Nate didn’t want to burden Imani with his troubles, but she said she could use the distraction. He said Devon was worried Nate was a liability at Chancellor Winters. Nate said there was a slight misunderstanding that he fixed as soon as he found out there was a problem, but now Devon wanted to give him a mentor. Imani scoffed that Devon didn’t even give Nate a chance to prove himself. Nate said Devon was determined to see him as a screw up. Imani suggested Devon felt threatened by Nate’s potential. Nate also felt that Devon was holding him back, but he admitted Devon could be right – maybe Nate overstepped a few times, but out of enthusiasm, not malice. Nate said maybe he needed to learn the game better. Imani didn’t agree with that strategy. It was clear to her that Devon wanted to be the only one in full control.

Imani understood Nate wanted to see the best in his cousin, but she didn’t think he was looking at the full picture. She said he should turn up the heat, not give in. He didn’t want to create more conflict. She said Devon didn’t value what Nate was bringing to the job, and slow and steady wasn’t going to convince him otherwise. She reminded him of how he took the bull by the horns at the launch and people responded positively. She thought he needed to do something like that, but bigger and bolder that would demand attention and respect.

At Crimson Lights, Diane approached Summer. She was surprised about Phyllis’s gigantic career move, but it wasn’t going to be a problem, at least for Diane. Summer was glad to hear that, because she and Kyle didn’t intend to tolerate any turmoil at Marchetti. “Don’t you suspect that your mother’s sudden and massive career move is directly tied to her hatred of me?,” Diane asked. Summer said of course she did, and she gave Phyllis the same warning Diane received from Kyle. Phyllis had assured Diane there wouldn’t be any problems. Summer hoped Phyllis meant it, because this would be an amazing opportunity for her and her mom to work together, just as it was for Diane and Kyle. Diane said she wanted this to work out, and she’d love it if Phyllis forgave her.

Diane said she and Phyllis might be able to bond. Summer thought Diane was laying it on a little thick. Diane said Kyle forgave her, and Jack seemed to be on the verge of doing that. Summer thought that was a tall order for Jack to forgive Diane. Summer thought Diane was wonderful with Harrison, but it didn’t erase her history. Diane realized that, and she realized she had a lot more work to do in that regard. Summer echoed that Diane had a lot more work to do. Summer said Jack was working to keep the peace for Kyle and Harrison. She stated that she’d give Diane the same warning she gave Phyllis – don’t attempt to manipulate Jack the way she had in the past. Summer warned that she was just as protective of Jack as she was of Kyle, and if Diane pulled anything, she’d have to contend with her.

Kyle spent time with Mariah and Tessa at Dive Bar. Tessa was having to use a computer automated voice to communicate, because she had to rest her voice after surgery. Mariah said the voice was starting to sound sexy. Kyle complimented her on keeping her sense of humor, and she said if you didn’t laugh, you’d cry. Mariah asked about Harrison. Kyle said he was handling Ashland’s death well, but he didn’t seem to understand what happened. Mariah asked how Kyle was, and he started talking about the Marchetti relaunch. Tessa told Kyle not to change the subject. Kyle admitted he had a lot on his plate. He was trying to help Harrison through the loss of his father, and now his mom and Summer’s mom were going to work together, which could start world war III. Mariah asked if she could help. He thought he had to handle it on his own.

Mariah sent Tessa to grab the drinks, then she told Kyle she had to ask him for a really big favor. He asked what she needed. Mariah was worried about Tessa, who was really bummed about missing her tour. She’d been trying to think of a way to boost Tessa’s spirits. She thought Tessa might love a job at Marchetti. Tessa was a huge fan of Marchetti, and she was passionate about fashion. Mariah was sure Marchetti would need models, and who better to team up with than than a singing star, like Tessa.

Kyle was intrigued. He recalled Summer mentioning they needed a fresh face for the new fashion line. He’d have to talk to Summer before he committed to anything. Mariah was just happy Kyle didn’t dismiss the idea out of hand. She asked him not to say anything to Tessa before it was a done deal, so they didn’t get her hopes up. Tessa returned. Tessa could tell something was going on with Kyle and Mariah. They pretended they were just chatting. Summer walked up, and Mariah said hi, then she announced that she and Tessa had to go.

Summer and Kyle were now alone. She told him about his mother’s fantasy of bonding with Phyllis. He said that would never happen. She wondered if they were asking for trouble expecting their mothers to peacefully work together. He said if they rescinded a job offer from either one of them, it could spawn an all out war.

At Society, Billy told Jack that it was a bad idea to hire Adam at Jabot. Billy thought other Abbotts would agree. Jack believed in Adam. He was also going to be watching Adam’s every move. Jack said Adam turned Newman Media into a profitable enterprise, and his tenure was devoid of scandal. Jack said Adam would still be there if Victor didn’t jerk him around. Billy said Adam had an ax to grind. Jack thought Adam wanted a fresh start somewhere that he wouldn’t have to compete with Victoria. Billy asked how Ashley would feel. Jack said she’d eventually be fine with it – she spent most of her time in Paris, and when she was here, she was in the lab, which was out of Adam’s purview. Billy said that Adam would take the company. Jack said he’d offered Billy similar lifelines in the past. “And how many of those have worked out? And I’m your brother,” Billy replied. Jack said Billy felt fine giving Diane another chance. Billy felt that some people deserved another chance, while others didn’t. They looked up and saw Phyllis come in.

Billy knew there was nothing he could say to talk Jack out of this. He just warned him that Adam’s fangs were sharp and poisonous. Phyllis walked over and Jack said he was leaving. She said she came to discuss Lily’s offer to buy the hotel with Billy. Jack left. Billy noticed that things had gone south between Jack and Phyllis again. Billy was glad that it wasn’t his fault this time. Phyllis said she’d moved past that. She added that she was going to work with Summer at Marchetti. Billy was surprised Phyllis would be working with Diane.

Phyllis said she and Diane weren’t in the same department. Billy didn’t think Marchetti was big enough for the two of them. She said he underestimated her. He hoped that this would work out, for Jack’s sake. She said she wouldn’t let her daughter down. He thought she could only suppress her feelings for so long until she exploded. She asked why it was that he got to turn his life around and be an upstanding executive, and she couldn’t. He said he liked his colleagues. She said it was unfortunate that he was just working with his buddies and girlfriend. She stated that the Grand Phoenix was a huge moneymaking endeavor; it wasn’t like some podcast. He said his podcast was popular, and he should have her on. She replied that she was all booked up. She didn’t think she could handle Marchetti and running the hotel, and that was why she wanted to talk to Lily. Billy said he’d been confident that Phyllis wouldn’t sell. “That’s how little you know me, Billy,” Phyllis replied. Billy said either Phyllis was a fool, selling her hotel to work with Summer, or she had a plan for Diane. He’d never known Phyllis to be a fool. She said he was right about that. He said she’d made some spectacular mistakes, but she was as savvy as they come. He bet she had a plan to hurt Diane in some way.

Phyllis thought it was annoying that everyone in the town thought she had a nefarious intention. Billy said Phyllis was selling her prized possession out of the blue to go work with her sworn enemy. She said she was going to work with her daughter and helping her attain her vision. He said she was casting herself in a supporting role, but that wasn’t her – she was the queen bee. She said she loved a challenge, and she’d be overseeing the home design division at Marchetti – it was a huge position. He conceded that this sounded like a cool gig. She said she’d risen above her hatred for Diane, a hatred that cost her her relationship with Jack. The sort of happiness she was afraid she’d never get again. “You are definitely up to something,” Billy said.

Phyllis asked why Billy couldn’t believe her heart was in the right place. He asked her to stop the phony denials. He was speaking to her as an ex-lover and semi friend. He asked her to let go of whatever she had planned for Diane. Even if she won, and he thought she would, she’d still lose in the end. She asked what made him think she’d lose. He said there was always collateral damage in the war, and the damage would be Summer. “Summer won’t be near the line of fire Billy… if there was a line of fire, which there is not,” she said. He informed her that Jack offered Adam a job at Jabot, as co-CEO.

Phyllis was alarmed that Adam would be placed in a position of power. She said Adam got an umpteenth chance to redeem himself in Jack’s eyes, just like Diane, but he wasn’t giving Phyllis the same opportunity. Billy said throwing Adam into any mix was a recipe for disaster. Phyllis asked if Billy thought Jack would involve Adam in Marchetti. He didn’t know, but if Adam got involved, he’d take Diane’s side. Phyllis agreed that Adam would side with Diane, and she predicted that Jack would just follow along and give Diane the benefit of the doubt. Billy asked if Phyllis wanted to be the one responsible for throwing oil on the fire. Nikki called Phyllis wanting to meet.

Phyllis went to the ranch. Ashley wasn’t there, because she was out of town on business. Phyllis complained that Ashley was useless. Nikki said Ashley was committed to the plan, but she was concerned about Phyllis’s sabotage idea. Nikki called Phyllis here to get the details on her next move. Phyllis asked if Nikki didn’t trust her. “In a word, no,” Nikki said. Phyllis said she didn’t trust Nikki and Ashley either. Nikki said that the reason she didn’t trust Phyllis was somewhat of a compliment. Nikki was concerned Phyllis might back down, to protect Summer. Nikki was also protective of her kids, but the best way to protect Summer and her family was to get Diane out of town for good. Phyllis agreed. She didn’t appreciate Nikki’s backhanded compliment, especially since she was the only one in this triumvirate that was really doing something. “You have worries, you have concerns. I get it, but until you really contribute, keep your opinions to yourself,” Phyllis said.

Diane’s face lit up when she saw Jack come into Crimson Lights. He was glad he ran into her. He said that he’d been reading the books she bought Harrison about loss, and he could tell they were helpful. He thanked her for the thoughtful gift.
