THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I-I’m not sure if anyone told you, but the whole point of coming here is to relax. I can’t, man. Too much on my mind. And I get that, but it’s not good for you to be so stressed, man. Sit. Breathe. Sweat. One out of three ain’t bad, right? Yeah, well, my wife has been lying to me for months, tj. What am I supposed to do with that? Diane. Hey. I can’t believe this is happening. I mean, trina’s going on trial for a crime she didn’t commit. Fear not. I am prepared to poke so many holes in the ada’s case, it’s going to look like a doily when I’m done with it. Hey. Hey, baby. Hey. Hey, how are you? Oh, I’m terrified and angry and frustrated. I still don’t understand why this is even happening. Your mother just said the same thing. And my response? Diane said not to worry. Scott baldwin did an amazing job with the prep work. Now I’m going to bring it home. Hey, I know you’re worried about trina. So am I. But when I asked you how you were, I was asking about you. And I answered. You answered and you told me about trina. Baby, I know it’s going to be really awful to relive that experience. Yeah, well, obviously, I don’t like it, but they could play that video in open court for all I care.

[ Sighs ] Anything to exonerate trina. You are such a good friend. The best kind. This is such a waste of time. I know. Prosecuting trina when the real criminal is out there thinking that she got away with it. You do know my every desire, spence, and I’ve been aching for you to give it to me. That’s not what I’m talking about.

[ Sighs ] But it’s been ages. Don’t you want to be together again? Of course I do. Then what is it? Are you still worried about trina’s trial? Yes, but that’s not what I’m focused on right now. Then talk to me. We used to be a team, remember? I remember everything about our time together, which is why I’ve been focused so hard on this surprise for you. And it took some doing, but it’s finally ready. Well, then don’t keep me in suspense. What is it? I found your birth mother. Honey, are you okay? What if I go in there, and when I come out, the only place I’m headed is prison? Alright. Alright. Alright. Time out.

[ Breathing heavily ] What’s going on? What’s the matter, you tired? No, I’m not tired. Just wondering why you’re so intense. You trying to kill me or something?

[ Cellphone ringing ] Olivia? What? Hold on. In an hour?

[ Stammers ] Why didn’t you say something earlier? No, no, it’s not a problem. You know, your new partner wouldn’t dream of missing her first metro court staff meeting. I will be there. And, olivia, thanks for the ample notice. See you soon.

[ Sighs ] Do my ears deceive me or has my niece made a career change? Honey, I know that this is terrifying, but you are a strong, kick-ass young woman. A strong, kick-ass, innocent young woman. Exactly. Your father is right. Honey, you can do this. We know I’m innocent. But what if the jury finds me guilty? No, no, no, no. Uh-uh. Don’t say that. I don’t want you to even think that, you hear me? It’s a possibility, mom. Any sane person is going to take one look at you and know that you didn’t do what they’re accusing you of doing. Not that it even matters. We are going to find the evidence to clear your name. Don’t forget, curtis is still out there, tracking down a lead to tie esme to that phone she planted on you. That’s right. Oh, here he is. Did it work? Did you find the evidence to prove that trina didn’t do this?

The lead didn’t exactly pan out. Thanks for trying. Well, we’re still working on it. My trial’s about to start. We’re out of time. Ready to go in? Sorry. Dumb question. Come on. You got this. I’m — I’m sorry, baby. I really, really thought that I was onto something. You did everything that you possibly could, and I’m grateful. Thank you. Surprise. “Surprise” is a massive understatement, spence. I — I didn’t even know you were looking for my birth mother. How did you find her? I wish I could take all the credit, but it was actually all my uncle victor. I asked him if he could use his connections from his wsb days. And he was able to track down the lady who left me at that church when I was a baby? That’s right. But I-I contacted the church, remember? I was told that there was no information. So how did victor…? Everyone has a price, I guess, and uncle victor spared no expense. He said that he was eventually led to a nun who remembered your mother’s name. Esme, your mother lives in portugal now. Portugal. I don’t know why that seems fitting, but it does. Yeah. What’s wrong? And, um… my father — did victor find him, too? How are you holding up? Give me an honest answer. I’m freaking out. Well, that’s natural. Of course you are. But don’t lose hope. No matter what ada arden says today, it is far from an open-and-shut case. Diane is right. You’re going to beat these charges and you’re going to put this entire nightmare behind you. You made it. Yes, of course I did. Oh, and I brought this. Oh, lucky charm? Yeah. My dad gave it to me for my 18th birthday. Alright, let me… thank you. There we are. Thank you for going back to wyndemere to get it. Oh, trina. I would go to the ends of the earth for you, don’t you forget it. How was your last day at the metro court? Was it brutal? You know, I don’t want to talk about that. Right now, I just want to focus on you. Okay. Well, I’m ready. Yeah? Yeah. They can ask me anything. My only answer is trina didn’t do it because she didn’T. And that’s what the jury’s going to hear. I can’t even think about what will happen if they don’T. Okay. Trina is going to get through this. How can she not, with amazing friends like you and cameron by her side? Where is cam, anyway? You must have had quite the morning to come at me like that. Well, I got into it with nina. Oh. About carly. Well, that explains it. Did your mom tell you that carly lost half of the hotel? Yeah. I kind of assumed that she and ned were going to buy it back for her. Olivia offered. So did I. And not to buy it back personally, but to give her the assets so she can do it herself. She turned us both down. Really? Yeah. Sorry to hear that, because it sounds like you made a reasonable offer to help. Carly’s not interested in — in being reasonable. I hate that it’s come to this. Divorce? Not just that. I mean, it’s like…

[ Sighs ] The lack of understanding. Obviously, I have feelings for nina. I just want to move forward, but carly thinks that I’m siding against her, and her attitude is starting to spread, especially towards michael. Right. Hey. You didn’t choose what happened to you. You didn’t choose to lose your memory you didn’t choose to separate yourself from your family. Okay, you do get to choose what the aftermath is — what you do next. I mean, you chose to hold nina accountable, but you stopped short of hating her, and I — to be honest with you, I admire that, because that’s the only way to heal. How’d you get so wise? I had my own homecoming, remember? Aunt liesl, you heard correctly. I am the new co-owner of the metro court. Who’s out? Olivia or carly? Carly. Never thought I’d see the day she parted with her precious hotel. Well, she didn’t give it up willingly, believe me. I need details this instant. Let’s just say carly, she made a bad business deal, and she lost her half of the metro court in the fallout. And where exactly do you fit in? I bought her stake with the full intention of gifting them back to her. A very generous gesture. One I’m sure that stood to benefit you, as well. Well… I-it sort of backfired. And it might have ended sonny and me before we even got started.

There you are. I am so sorry I’m late. Where were you? I got held up at home. Aiden is a little bit sick right now, so my mom, she’s there taking care of him. She’s so sorry that she can’t be here. She sends her love. No. If you need to go be with your brother — trina, there’s no other place that I’m supposed to be than right here. We’re with you all the way till the end. And whatever comes after. Come here. Those three have stuck together through some really tough times. A bond that can’t be broken. It has to turn out okay. It just has to. It will. And esme prince will regret the day she ever messed with our kids. I don’t know anything about your father. The only name that victor discovered is your mother’S. It’s just… I can’t believe it, after all of this time. I know. It’s a lot to process, isn’t it? It’s like, I don’t know what emotion to feel first. Why did you do this for me? Good looking out, man. You’re a good friend. You’d do the same for me. I just — you know, I’m a recovering addict. How did I not see sasha was using again? Hey don’t blame yourself, brando. W-was I blind to it? Or was she just that good at hiding it? And which of those options is even better? I-I don’t know. You know, I-I really thought that sasha and I were getting our relationship back on track. You know, after we lost liam. I just — I truly believed that we were on the same page. And I’m sure, in a lot of ways, you were. Not if she was lying to my face! What does that say about our marriage?! Am I supposed to trust her again?! I’m sorry, brother. I love sasha. I love her. And more than anything, I just want her to be okay. You know, but she’s in denial, and of course, my instinct is to run in and fix everything for her. You can’t help her unless she helps herself. Yes. Right. I don’t know where to go from here, man. You know, it’s, uh — it’s like you said — you love her, and sasha loves you. I’m not saying it’ll be easy, but… I believe everything will work out. God, I hope you’re right. Once carly shot me down, I decided that I was just going to keep her half of the metro court. And how does sonny feel about that? Not great. He says that it will make me look like I am spiteful. You know, he insists that we are together and that he wants to move forward with our relationship, but the minute that carly is in trouble, he rushes to her rescue. Why keep the hotel,

liebchen? Surely you’re busy enough with crimson. I am busy, but it’s an amazing business opportunity. You know, the metro court is hugely profitable and it’s a huge success. Not to mention, owning half lessens the chances crimson will be evicted from its office space. Exactly. I never intended for this to happen, but now that it’s just fallen into my lap, am I supposed to just back away from it because carly’s feelings got hurt? No. I offered to give it back to her, and she said no, aunt liesl. So if you look at it by that perspective, 50% is her doing and 50% is mine. But the satisfaction is 100% yours. I really struggled when I came home. Yeah. You, of all people, know that. Right. I mean, different circumstances, obviously, but we both know what it’s like to not be able to fit back into your old life. And, I mean, mine was self-inflicted. I volunteered for that op that set everything in motion. You wanted to do the right thing, and then you paid a hell of a price. See, that’s what I mean. You understand me because you’re going through it. Trying to piece together a new life, trying to figure out, you know, what matters to you now, because everything — everything changes based on your experiences, right? And I know it did for me. And now you — you have feelings for nina, which you can’t deny, because if you did that, that would be a lie. And — and a lie is a crappy foundation to build a life. Right. And that comes with its own problems. What do you mean, you, uh — nina get pissed off you were offering to help carly? That’s part of it.

[ Sighs ] Then what’s the other part? Did you mom tell you that, uh, nina’s her new partner at the metro court? Well, how did that happen? Nina bought carly’s half of the hotel, intending to give it back, to make amends. Carly shot her down? Yeah. Now nina owns half of the metro court. Now, she could have sold it to somebody else. That would have been really bad, but she’s keeping it. Wow. I can understand how that’s making carly feel, then. I told nina, people are going to think she’s sticking it to carly, and she got all upset and she said it feels like there’s three people in the relationship. Well, there are. I don’t want any trouble with carly. I’m not talking about you two. I’m talking about nina and carly.

N called youas witnesses to try and get out ahead of my defense, so whatever she asks you, you answer truthfully, and I will make it work during the cross-examination. Okay? Okay. Okay. All rise. The honorable judge young presiding. We are here today to obtain justice for two victims of the insidious crimes of revenge porn and illegal surveillance. Opposing counsel will have you believe that the defendant is above reproach — a straight-a student from a good family. And that may all very well be true, but does that give her a pass to act out of jealousy when things don’t go her way? No, it doesn’T. And as you’ll see, the defendant had means, motive, and ample opportunity, which I plan to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. I got the idea when I saw your letters from maggie. My private letters that were never meant for your eyes. I told you that was an accident. I wasn’t trying to snoop around, but I’m glad that I read them. I thought that you’d made peace with not knowing who your birth parents were, but those letters made me realize that I was wrong. And ever since, I’ve been looking for a way to find them. Even though you accused me of filming joss and cam? It’s because of that. I never should have attacked you the way that I did. But I can’t think of a better way to make it up to you. Can you? Do you want my opinion? Uh… if you’re at peace with your reasons, don’t concern yourself with optics. Zur holle mit anyone who judges your decisions. This is your life. Yeah, but sonny is part of my life, aunt liesl. At least I want him to be. This whole hotel stuff does not sit well with him. You’re right. It is my life and my choices. But what if this choice brings me nothing but misery? Michael is going to come down here in a bit. Are you, uh — you going to stick around? Well, I’m not going to let my own son run me out of my own gym. Okay, good. Right? Hey, what’d you mean by — by carly and nina? Nina kept the fact that you were alive away from all of us. Right. Carly’s not going to forget that, ever. Neither is michael. Toss in the fact that nina and carly already had their own kind of stuff going on before this whole mess, right? And? And whatever happens with you and nina, carly and michael are always going to be a part of it. That kind of history, you can’t untangle, it’s impossible. Michael. Hey, good to see you, man. Yeah, you too, yeah. Thanks for making the time. Yeah, of course. Always. Alright, I’m gonna — you know what? Uh, actually, I’d like it if you stayed. Uh, there’s something you need to hear.

You’re going to hear about it eventually, so, willow is pregnant, and I’m only telling you this because I want to make it perfectly clear that you will have no role in this child’s life. Michael. No, I mean it. You’re not their grandfather. For all intents and purposes, you are a stranger to them. Okay, don’t do this. So what, you’re just going to erase me from your life? Is that what you want to do? Pretty much. Really? Pretty much? Yeah. So I heard you had — did he have a setback in his business? Don’t go there. No, I’m not — your girlfriend took advantage to screw over my mother. No, I did — I offered to help carly. What do you talking about? She doesn’t need your help. She’s not your concern anymore. Neither am I. So we need you to stay the hell out of our lives, okay?

[ Scoffs ] Got a problem? Hey. What is it? Hey, is this where we’re at? I push back and y-you sic your attack dog on me? Hi, my sweet boy. I have big news. I’m having another baby, which is very exciting, but it also makes me think of you. How much I wish I could have been a mother to you, too — to love and protect you, watch you grow up. Every single day, I wish you were here. You and wiley would be thick as thieves, driving us all crazy — in the best possible way, of course. I miss you. But the good news is… you’re always with me, and you will always be a part of my family. What do you think? You think you would have made a great big brother to the new baby? I do. Nina: New baby? Willow, are you pregnant? Go on. Take your best shot. Stand back. No, hey, I don’t need your protection. Come on, let’s do this. Mike — michael. You should respect your father. I got a horse worthy of more respect. Okay, why doesn’t everyone just chill out? That’s it! Hey! Hey! Hey! Sonny gave you an order. I suggest you follow it. Or deal with me. Mr. Webber, you’ve stated that you and the defendant are friends. That’s correct. And did your relationship ever turn into more than friendship? Briefly. We both went through something very traumatic, and things got very confusing. But in the end, we decided that we were better off as friends. And you are currently in a relationship with the other victim, josslyn jacks, is that correct? Yes. And is ms. Jacks friends with the defendant as well? They’re best friends. Oh. So you and the defendant developed feelings for each other, and then you ended up dating her best friend. Is that a problem for ms. Robinson? Objection, your honor. Mr. Webber cannot speak for the defendant. Sustained. Was anyone else present the night you and ms. Jacks were recorded without your knowledge? Yes. Trina was there. So was spencer cassadine and esme prince. And were all of those people in the cabin when you and ms. Jacks became intimate? No. I-I’m sorry. Uh, could you speak up? No. So who was there, then? It was just trina. You okay? I’m not sure. I thought this is what you wanted. I just assumed that I’d never find my mother. I mean, everyone told me to just let it go, and then somehow, you made the impossible possible. Nothing is impossible for a cassadine. Even though you fell out of love with me, or at least I thought you did. And it was like no matter how hard I tried to reach you, it — everything I did, it didn’t matter. I’m sorry. I’ve been carrying around this secret for so long. I guess it bled into everything else. I did not mean to shut you out. I guess you just didn’t want to get my hopes up. Oh, my god. Knowing who I am, where I came from… you’re right, spence. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted, but… how do I know that it’s real? That this name your uncle victor found is really my mother? I mean, anyone could just say that. You’re right. And I was worried about the same thing. So I had a dna test done. What? Here is the only proof that you need… if you want it.

Everything’s fine, brando. Michael and i are finished here. Michael, come on. That’s definitely not the way I planned on telling you I was going to be a father again. Alright, hey. This is sonny’s gym. You knew there had to be a chance that he would be here. I know. I just — I didn’t want to wait to share the good news with my brother. Okay. Maybe part of you couldn’t wait to share the news with your father. I take it, uh, things haven’t gotten better between you and michael? You want to talk about it? I’m done talking. It’s time for action. Not that it’s any of your business, but yes, michael and i are having a baby. Is that why you fainted at the metro court? Oh, yes, I — I heard that you helped me on that day. Thank you. Congratulations. You and michael must be thrilled. We are. And wiley, how did he react? I am not talking to you about my son. My grandson.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Oh, are we really going to do this every time? I guess so, willow. I guess we are.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Sighs ] Hello. Hey. Now? Oh, yeah. Okay. I-I’m leaving right now. I’ll be right there. Okay. I have to go. Willow’s pregnant. Yeah, that appears to be the case. Fantastic. Another win for carly. She may be down, but that woman will never be out. How long did you and my client date? We never dated. Did you ever act on any feelings you may have had for each other? We kissed twice, both months apart, and that was two years ago. We both decided that we were better off as friends. When did you start dating ms. Jacks? Last july. So, a long time after you and my client — well, I would have said ended things, but you never really began, did you? Correct. What is your relationship with ms. Robinson now? Trina is one of my closest friends. I believe her and I believe in her. No further questions. The prosecution calls josslyn jacks to the stand. This is going well. Diane’s got this. Please describe the events leading up to you and mr. Webber being recorded without your consent. I have everything… for tonight… if we decide that we’re ready. I want my first time to be with you. I feel the same way. Well, then, tonight’s the night. We went skiing during the day and then came back to the cabin that night and played some games. What kind of games? Spencer: Never have I ever… oh! Thrown up in the middle of a dance floor. That was only one time! Okay, but one — whoa, one is one more than zero, so drink up, baby. Okay. Well, this sounds like a very fun story. Please share the details. A drinking game. Ada arden: Did the defendant drink? Well, something very strange was going on. Yes or no, ms. Jacks? Yes. And while under the influence, did the defendant comment on your relationship with mr. Webber? The game was never have I ever, and if this is going to make any sense, I’m going to need to explain the rules. A yes or no will suffice. One player says, “never have I ever done something,” and if you’ve done that thing, then you drink, and all of the questions were designed to make trina drink. Ms. Jacks, confine your answers to the question. Well, you’re not asking the right question, okay? Because trina was set up by the person who actually did record us, and I’ll tell you exactly who that person is. Your honor, I’d like permission to treat ms. Jacks as a hostile witness. Permission granted. This is a match. You found my birth mother. This is — this is really happening!

[ Laughter ] Oh, my god. Wait, did you meet her? What’s she like? Not yet.

[ Sighs ] There’s no name here. You won’t find any names in the file. I kept it all confidential. Because you wanted to be able to tell me yourself? I can’t believe you did this for me. No, esme… you are the last person that I did this for.

On the night in question, did the defendant state that she was upset that you and mr. Webber started dating? The witness will answer or be held in contempt. I’m sorry. We were playing a drinking game, okay? We were supposed to be having a good time. I-I don’t remember every word that trina spoke. Ms. Jacks, I’m directing you to answer the questions to the best of your ability. Ms. Arden, I might also remind you that ms. Jacks is not on trial here. She is, in fact, the victim. Get where you’re going, get there cleanly, or excuse the witness. At some point in the course of the drinking game, did the defendant become upset? Yes. And was her upset the result of you and cameron webber dating — that you were together, that she was left out? Yes, but she wasn’t herself — and then what happened next? Trina went to her room. And the other two guests, mr. Cassadine and ms. Prince? Well, I called ms. Prince out for the lying snake she is. She got upset, ordered a car, and took mr. Cassadine with her. So you, mr. Webber, and the defendant — she has a name. Careful, ms. Jacks. So you, mr. Webber, and ms. Robinson were the only people remaining inside of that cabin? Yes. Did you see ms. Robinson after she went to her room? I checked on her, and I spoke to her through the closed door. But to be clear, you didn’t see her? No. What about before you and mr. Webber became intimate? Trina felt sick and went to sleep. How do you know? Because she told me and I believe her. So you only have ms. Robinson’s word? I trust trina with my life. Is that a yes? Yes, but I would have seen her if she had left her room. So you were inside of the cabin the entire time, then? No. Cameron and I stepped outside for a breath of fresh air. But I — ms. Jacks. Can you attest to the defendant’s whereabouts — not where you think she was or where you assume she was, but her actual whereabouts from the time that she entered her room to the time that you and mr. Webber entered yours? I don’T… who else would want to know who my mother is? Just you.

[ Scoffs ] But you just said that you didn’t do this for me. Well, the reason that I kept it all confidential was so that you would have to go through me to get answers. I’m the only one who has this information. Aside from your uncle. Uncle victor will follow my lead. Trust me. Spence, what is this? I gave you what you wanted. Now, the only way that you’re going to learn the identity of your birth mother is to give me what I want. Which is? Trina’s freedom. I know it goes without saying, but whatever you need, I’m here. You know what you can do for me? What? Stop worrying about me. Take care of yourself and your family. You are my family. I get it.

[ Stammers ] Hey, I love you like a — like a brother. But you know what? You got a lot on your plate. You let me worry and deal with what I got to deal with. Boss. I got you some ice for your hands. Should take down the inflammation. Good thinking. Yeah, learned a thing or two while I was the substitute manager here. You know, underneath all that anger, it’s got to hurt, knowing that things have gotten as bad as it’s gotten between you and sonny. Are you sure you want to cut that tie with the baby coming? You’re my brother, and I love you, and I respect that you want to have a relationship with sonny, but I need you to respect that I don’T. I just — I just don’t like seeing that — that it’s come to this. Sonny threw away his marriage to my mom with both hands, and he testified for nina at the visitation hearing. He put nina’s feelings above wiley’s welfare. That’s not a grandfather I want for my kids. That’s not a person I want in their lives. Yeah, he doesn’t see it that way. That’s why there’s no point talking about it. And on the subject of a new baby, is there anything you would like to say to your little brother?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Get ready to get no sleep. Congratulations. And there it is. I-I’m really happy for you and willow. Thank you. Thank you. I get to be an uncle again. Think you’re ready for it? Heck yeah. I can’t wait. I love you, man. Love you, too. Tj. Willow, hey. Hey. What’s going on? What was so urgent? Yeah. Let’s get you to an exam room to talk, okay? Oh, [ Chuckles ] I just assumed this was about work. This is medical? I-I didn’t even know you were on an O.B. Rotation. Yeah, this isn’t an O.B. Visit. Oh. Okay, then what? So after you fainted, I ran a series of tests. Yes, I remember. That’s how we figured out I was pregnant. Yes. Uh… but we need to discuss the rest of your results.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sonny: Morning.

Will: Morning. Oh, my gosh, it’s so late. Why didn’t you wake me up?

Sonny: You had a late night. I thought you could use the rest. Yesterday was…pretty rough.

Will: Yeah, I was kind of hoping that everything thappened with my dad was just a horrible nightmare.

Sonny: Well, I kind of wish I could tell you it was.

Lucas: Ow.

[Door opens] Jj, listen to me–

Jj: I just came from the courthouse. I heard that you pled not guilty to kidnapping sami. Even after you admitted that you did to a room full of people. Maybe now you want to admit that you killed my sister?

Kate: Roman told you.

Marlena: You’re damn right he did. Do not come back here.

Kate: Okay. I need your help.

Marlena: You know who needed my help? My daughter needed my help. When your son kidnapped her, and terrorized her… and you said nothing? You covered for him.

Kate: Sami is fine.

Marlena: Sami is fine, physically. In every other way, she is a mess.

Kate: Okay, look, I’m sorry.

Marlena: You’re sorry? Really, you’re sorry because you got caught. Look, it’s bad enough that you knew that your son had kidnapped my daughter and you said nothing about it, but then you sat in that church in front of god and everybody and you were about to allow your son to marry my daughter.

Kate: Okay, for the record, when I learned about lucas, what he had done, sami was already free.

Marlena: Well, you know what? Ej wasn’t free.

Ej: Samantha says she’s leaving salem for good. I think she means it. You know, father, you always taught me that there’s nothing more important than family. And look what I’ve done. I’ve lost samantha, disrespected belle, christian’s turned on me, and I’ve alienated my grieving brother. I haven’t seen or heard from chad in days.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Xander: Oh, bummer. You got dressed.

Sarah: Honey, I left you in there about a half an hour ago.

Xander: I was exfoliating. I rinse the mask off too soon, it doesn’t achieve its full effect.

Sarah: Mm-hmm. You do realize that your skincare routine is about 10 times more elaborate than mine?

Xander: That’s because you’re a natural beauty, darling. The rest of us have to work at it.

Sarah: Oh, is that so?

Xander: Mm-hmm.

Sarah: Well, I happen to think that you are irresistible just the way you are. So, now that you are all scrubbed and polished, are you gonna stand around in that towel all day or what?

Xander: If that’s what you want.

Sarah: I’ll show you what I want.

Xander: Mmm. That’s what I want too.

[Sarah giggles]

Kate: Thank you for letting me in.

Marlena: I didn’t want the neighbors to hear my tirade. Kate, I’ve always known that you could be a little selfish, but I never dreamed that you would let an innocent man rot in prison for a crime he did not commit.

Kate: Ej is hardly an innocent man.

Marlena: He did not kidnap sami. And he did not deserve to go to prison for a crime your son committed.

Kate: Oh, what about all the other crimes that he committed that he never paid for?

Marlena: It doesn’t work like that, kate. You can’t take something that ej did in the past and try to make him pay for it instead of what your son needs to pay for.

Kate: Okay, well, you know, I actually did feel badly for ej and that’s why I led belle to the evidence that exonerated him.

Marlena: And what about sami? Did you feel sorry for her? Because she was the victim of a horrendous crime.

Kate: Oh, please. Sami is nobody’s victim.

Chad: I saw sami on my way in. She leaving town?

Ej: She’ll be back. Her parents are here and her children.

Chad: I thought that now that she knows you didn’t kidnap her, I thought maybe the two of you had a shot of getting back together.

Ej: [Small laugh] So did I.

Chad: Look, um… I’m here because I owe you an apology. I was wrong. Not just wrong. It was, um–I– I made a terrible accusation blaming you for abigail’s death. I was angry that you didn’t tell me that clyde weston threatened our family, but I shouldn’t have gone off on you the way that I did. I jumped to the conclusion that clyde was the one that killed abby… and now it’s clear that it’s someone else.

Lucas: You know how much I loved abigail.

Jj: You loved sami too. Didn’t stop you from hurting her.

Lucas: I know you’re in pain, and I’m sorry.

Jj: I don’t want your damn sympathy. I want answers. And I’m not leaving until I get them. So did you do it? Did you kill my sister?

Lucas: I don’t know.

Jj: How can you not know if you stabbed someone to death?

Lucas: Because I don’t remember anything.

Jj: I can imagine you would wanna forget doing something that horrible– the terror in her eyes, her screaming, crying, begging you to stop… all that blood!

Lucas: Yeah, I understand. I wanted to remember everything, but I can’t because I was drunk. I was–I blacked out!

Jj: Then why do you look so damn guilty?

Lucas: Because I’m ashamed. I hate myself for what I did. I hate myself for kidnapping sami, I hate myself for falling off the wagon, and I hate myself for not knowing what I did after!

Jj: Maybe you just need a little help.

Lucas: What?

Jj: You don’t seem to be having much luck on your own. So maybe I could jog your memory. Maybe I just need to beat the truth out of you! Once upon a time, before jill said yes.

Marlena: I’m aware that sami has gone to extremes when it comes to helping her family. That does not excuse lucas.

Kate: Okay. Lucas made a mistake, but he doesn’t deserve to go to prison.

Marlena: He was just arraigned for kidnapping his fiancé. And he’s under suspicion for killing his niece.

Kate: Lucas isn’t capable of killing anyone, marlena.

Marlena: You know, in my profession, there’s a concept we call “denial.”

Kate: Okay, look, I know that you’re angry. You have every right to be angry. But you don’t really believe that lucas killed abigail, do you?

Ej: I’m sorry again about clyde. I should’ve told you right away that he threatened to hurt our family if I told anyone he was responsible for my shooting.

Chad: Yes, you should’ve.

Ej: I thought making a deal with him was the best way to protect everyone. But as soon as I heard that he was arrested in connection with abigail’s murder, I couldn’t keep quiet any longer. So I went to rafe, and it was too little, too late. You were right, chad. I was arrogant and selfish thinking that I had this all under control.

Chad: It’s the dimera way.

Ej: Hmm. As is putting family first. I am going to help you get justice for your wife. Whatever it takes. So, now we know clyde has an air-tight alibi–

Chad: And lucas does not.

Lucas: You want to hit me? Go head.

Jj: Were you in my sister’s house that night? Did you go up to her room?

Lucas: I don’t know.

Jj: Think! Did you ask abigail to keep quiet about what you did to sami? When she refused, you stabbed her? Ended her life? Answer me!

Lucas: I don’t know! I told you, I told everybody I don’t know! I want to remember, but I can’t, all right? I wish to god I could, but I just can’T.

Jj: Then I guess I’ll have to beat it out of you.

Jennifer: [Gasps] Jj, stop!

Xander: Oh, look at you. You’re glowing and you didn’t even have to exfoliate.

Sarah: Yeah, it’s a gift and a curse.

[Giggling] I think what we just did is better than anything you can buy in a store.

Xander: Well, you know what they say– can’t have too much of a good thing.

Sarah: I can’t, I can’t, I can’T. I have to go to the hospital and pick up a refill of my prescription.

Xander: The adjusted dose seems to be working, yeah?

Sarah: Mm-hmm, yeah, yeah, I haven’t had any hallucinations in a few days, which is just so great, but I don’t think it’s enough that we’re out of the woods yet.

Xander: Well, I’m very optimistic.

Sarah: Yeah, I’m just– I’m so grateful that I didn’t hurt anyone all those times that I saw kristen, you know? I would… I’d never be able to forgive myself.

Xander: I’m so sorry you’re still dealing with all this.

Sarah: Yeah. Well, hopefully it’s done and our life can just finally go back to normal.

Xander: I wish I could say the same for my best mate.

Sarah: Yeah. I noticed that you didn’t talk to jack much at abigail’s funeral.

Xander: Oh, you know, he was surrounded by family. I didn’t want to intrude.

Sarah: I bet he’d really like to hear from you. And better in person.

Xander: Yeah, you’re right. I should stop by. Offer my condolences. And to jennifer too, of course.

Sarah: Mm-hmm.

Jennifer: Jj, what are you doing?

Jj: Trying to find out if your brother killed my sister!

Jennifer: No, let him go! Let him go!

Jj: Not till he answers me!

Jennifer: Jj! Jj, please! I need you to listen to me! I need you to look at me, okay? I need you to let go of lucas and I need you to look at me! Look at me!

Jj: Mom.

Jennifer: Sweetheart, I know, I know, I know.

Jj: [Whispers] She’s gone. Abigail’s gone, and I need– I need to understand it. I need it to make sense.

Jennifer: I understand, I know, I know. We all do. And we all want answers, sweetheart. We all want answers, every single one of us. And when we get those answers, and I promise you, I promise you we will get those answers. Your sister being taken from us is never gonna make sense. I’m sorry.

[Exhales] It was wrong of him to put his hands on you.

Lucas: You and jj have every right to be furious with me. You do. You can yell at me, you can hit me, do whatever you want.

Jennifer: Hit you? I wouldn’t hit you.

Lucas: Why not?

Jennifer: Because you’re my brother, and I love you.

Lucas: Stop. I’m not worthy of that, not now.

Jennifer: Don’t say that!

Lucas: It’s the truth. I made a terrible choice. It wasn’t a slip-up, it was a choice. I chose to drink that night. I knew what would happen if I drank–I knew my life would be turned upside-down, but I did it anyway because of me, because of my pain. I wanted to numb my own pain. I didn’t care about the pain I caused other people.

Jennifer: Lucas. You are a good person.

Lucas: No, I’m not! I’m a coward! I didn’t come clean until my back was against the wall! Don’t you understand that? I did this, jen. I lied. I denied. I framed ej. I did that on my own! So if I go to prison, if I go to a psych ward, or if I get the death penalty, I don’t care. I don’t care because I deserve it.

Sonny: Will, I cannot imagine your father killing anyone let alone his own niece.

Will: It’s like I told allie. If you’d asked me a week ago if my dad was capable of killing anyone, I would’ve said no. Crazy. But I just found out he kidnapped mom. He kept her captive for months.

Sonny: That was totally different! He was scared and terrified he was gonna lose the person he loves the most. Both you and I know what that’s like. And it’s a huge jump from kidnapping to murder.

Will: It’s not that huge, if you’re drunk and you’re desperate. He truly thought he was about to lose everything.

Sonny: And he thought that killing abigail was the solution?

Will: He wasn’t thinking, sonny, that’s what I’m saying. He was operating on emotion, on adrenalin, on fear. He like spent months building up this whole house of cards, and it was about to crash down.

Sonny: Will.

Will: He has the motive, he had the means, he had the opportunity–he has this huge gash on his hand.

Sonny: Will. Will.

Will: That looks bad! How do you explain that?

Sonny: Will. Breathe. Okay? Can you really imagine your father stabbing abigail?

Will: I couldn’t imagine us rolling leo stark’s dead body up into a rug, but we did.

Sonny: That’s totally different.

Will: How? It was anger that turned to violence. My dad was angry and scared. It is entirely possible that he got drunk, he went to confront abigail, things got heated, and he did what he thought he had to do to keep from losing my mom.

Sonny: No. No, I don’t think that’s what happened.

Will: I mean, I hope you’re right. This is all speculation anyway. I don’t know what happened. You don’t know what happened. He doesn’t know what happened. He doesn’t remember anything about that night.

Kate: Even after what he did to sami, there is no way that lucas could’ve killed abigail. No way. I don’t care how drunk he was.

Marlena: What are you doing here? What do you want from me?

Kate: I want you to help my son.

Ej: I knew from the start that lucas was responsible for samantha’s kidnapping but no one believed me. And to add insult to injury, according to roman, kate knew he was guilty and said nothing and was perfectly happy for me to take the fall. I mean, kate and I have had our differences, but I never expected that level of treachery from her.

Chad: But what about from me?

Ej: I’m sorry?

Chad: Kate wasn’t the only one who knew lucas was behind the kidnapping. I did too. I knew you were innocent all along. So I said, “yeah you’re saving hundreds

Will: My mom texted me. She’s leaving salem. And she vows to never, ever, ever come back to this. And the rest is… uh, just profanity.

Sonny: Mmm. Well, she’s very upset, very understandably. Okay, but once she calms down, I promise you she’ll come right back to town.

Will: Can you please distract me from all of this?

Sonny: Okay, well, how about…[Imitates drums] A sweet treat from sweet bits? I got you a blueberry scone.

Will: Oh!

Sonny: And an iced coffee.

Will: Oh, my favorite. Thank you.

Sonny: Mm-hmm. Oh my god, you’re like a scone monster. You’re getting crumbs all over the bed.

Will: Maybe you can help me with that?

Sonny: All over your chest.

Will: Mm-hmm. Get it off. Ohh…

Xander: I’m just so sorry about abigail, jack. I wish I had the words.

Jack: Well, sometimes words are overrated. I saw you at the funeral.

Xander: I wanted to approach you, but… I just kept my distance out of respect.

Jack: And fear of julie.

Xander: Yeah, that too.

Jack: I’m glad you were there, xander. It meant a lot to see you there.

Xander: So many people loved your little girl.

Jack: It was A…[Sniffles] Such a lovely service, wasn’t it? I can’t believe we got through it.

Xander: You’re really strong, jack.

Jack: Yeah. I had jennifer there by my side the whole time. Thank god chad had his brother.

Ej: When did you know it was lucas?

Chad: When I caught lucas planting evidence on a dimera computer.

Ej: The evidence that led to my false imprisonment.

Chad: Ej, I know it was wrong, but I was so angry at you that you kept trying to get under my skin. Johnny’s movie, trying to cut me out of dimera.

Ej: And by conspiring with lucas to frame me, you could run the company on your own. You get what you want, he gets what he wants.

[Light laugh] Makes perfect sense.

Chad: I’ll be honest. I was fine with you getting booted from dimera. But as soon as belle told me that you could be sentenced to 10 years, I– I couldn’t go through with it. I planned to come clean at your trial. I was gonna say that I planted all of the evidence, then I saw you, what I thought was you, forcing yourself on my wife at the courthouse.

Ej: When the devil morphed into me.

Chad: You hurt me, and I wanted to punish you.

Ej: I’m the one in the family that everyone says is as ruthless as father. Turns out I’m not alone. You said you were planning to testify that you planted the evidence. What about lucas?

Chad: I promised kate I wouldn’t implicate him.

Ej: [Laughs] Oh, how big of you.

Chad: All I cared about was keeping you out of prison. I figured that lucas would hang himself eventually. I didn’t see the point in bringing him down with me.

Ej: Ah. And I’m sure kate appreciated that very much. Probably why she didn’t throw you under the bus when I confronted her.

Lucas: Why are you here?

Jennifer: To tell you that I know you loved my daughter, and I know you didn’t do this.

Lucas: You can’t say that, jen, you don’t know that.

Jennifer: Why did you keep this to yourself? You were sitting there comforting me over the loss of my daughter, and all that time you were thinking that you were the one that might’ve hurt her? Why didn’t you just tell me?

Lucas: I guess I was scared. I was really scared. I kept thinking about what happened with will and how we almost lost him and it was devastating. It was devastating to think I inflicted that same kind of pain on you, my very own sister.

Jennifer: I wish you would’ve just…told me.

Lucas: I couldn’t have told you then. I didn’t want to put that on you. You were going through too much.

[Crying] But you know what? Every time I looked at this bandage and I every time I looked at that bottle that I drank, I thought of abigail. I thought about how much I loved her. I remember when she was little and she used to sit on my lap and I used to read her those nancy drew books all the time.

[Jennifer laughs] And I remember that one year I gave her that pink typewriter for her 10th birthday I think it was, and I remember she used to type out the salem news all the time. Do you remember that?

Jennifer: Yeah, I do.

[Weepy laugh]

Lucas: She wanted to be a reporter just like her parents. She was doing it, you know? She was on her way, and she turned into a beautiful woman with two beautiful children, a wife to a husband she loved. And now…now they’re gonna have to go on without her. So the reason–the reason I didn’t tell you is because I could barely tell myself. I could barely tell myself that I might be responsible and it might be me that… that I took abigail away.

Chad: Ej. I’m truly sorry for what I did. These past few weeks, you’ve been there for me and for my children. You opened your heart and you were a true brother. And I just hope that you can somehow find a way to forgive me.

Ej: I have to give the matter careful consideration. Your betrayal has cost me a great deal… including what may have been my last chance with samantha.

[Quiet, somber music]

I know you’ve just lost your wife. And I respect you admitting this to me.

Chad: I just really hope that we can find a way to get past this.

Ej: Ironic, isn’t it? You slam me for not reporting clyde weston, yet you did the same with lucas. Kept quiet about his crimes, allowed him to remain free. And that may very well have cost abigail her life. I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Xander: I’m surprised to hear ej stepped up for chad.

Jack: Well, abigail brought out the best in everyone.

Xander: Except maybe gwen. I’m sorry, mate. It was stupid of me to bring it up.

Jack: Xander, you don’t have to tiptoe around me–I know that you had your issues with abigail as well.

Xander: At first, I… I did blame her for leaving that syringe in the secret room of the dimera house, but… then I realized your daughter wasn’t responsible–she had no way of knowing it’d be used to hurt the woman I love.

Jack: That drug warped abigail’s mind. She felt awful about what happened to her cousin, how much she was suffering.

Xander: Yeah, but in true abigail fashion, she actually did something about it. And she got to the bottom of kristen’s crazy scheme, found sarah on that deserted island, and she risked her own life to bring her home to me.

Sarah: Jj. Hey. I barely had a chance to talk to you at the funeral. I just wanna, um… I want to tell you, I’m so sorry, again. What’s going on?

Jj: I, uh…just came from the police station where I confronted lucas. I asked him if he killed my sister.

Sarah: Oh. What did he say?

Jj: He doesn’t remember.

Sarah: Do you believe him?

Jj: I don’t know what to believe.

Sarah: I know that rafe is going to fight for justice, just like abigail would.

Jj: Yeah. I heard that you were injected with the same drug as abigail. How you doing?

Sarah: Uh… better, you know? But I got a double dose of that drug, so it’s taking a lot longer to get it out of my system. I have hallucinations. I see kristen everywhere. Just…wanting to kill her.

Lucas: I must be losing my mind.

Jennifer: Will you, uh… will you do something for me?

Lucas: Anything.

Jennifer: Will you forget that I’m your sister… and just…just talk to me like I’m a reporter.

Lucas: All right. I’ll tell you whatever you want to know.

Jennifer: Okay. Great. I want to know everything. Let’s start with the kidnapping.

Lucas: I was desperate to get sami back, and I did something insane. I, uh, I kept her locked up where no one could find her. But she was safe. She was safe the whole time.

Jennifer: And, uh, you set ej up, you sent him to prison.

Lucas: Yeah. Yeah, but I mean, it worked out because he was released. And sami thought he was guilty, so I thought I was gonna get everything that I wanted. Then I found out that abigail knew about the kidnapping.

Jennifer: And then what did you do?

Lucas: I panicked because I didn’t know if she was gonna tell anybody, and I knew if she told people, that I would lose sami and she’d go back to ej and I’d end up in prison.

Jennifer: And after you talked to your mother?

Lucas: I knew I was done. I knew I-I had one final night of freedom, so I went crazy and I polished the bottle. I drank myself into oblivion.

Jennifer: And you don’t remember anything you did that night?

Lucas: No! I told jj. I’m telling you now. I’ve wracked my brain. I don’t know anything. I want to remember, I need to remember. Not knowing is killing me.

Kate: I mean, you know from personal experience how painful it is when someone you care about has no memory.

Marlena: Well, if we were talking about somebody that I care about, I might be inclined to help.

Kate: You cared about abigail, didn’t you?

Marlena: Very much.

Kate: Then hate me. Hate lucas. But do it for abigail. Because if you help my son get answers, you’ll help get justice for abigail too. I was on an antidepressant,

Will: Can we stay like this forever?

Sonny: Mm. You mean blissfully in love?

Will: Yes, but, um, I mean literally like this. Just the two of us in bed, shutting out the outside world.

Sonny: Except ari.

Will: Oh yeah. And blueberry scones.

[Both laughing]

Sonny: Sounds like a plan.

[Phone chimes] And so much for shutting out the rest of the world.

Will: Sorry. Oh my god.

Sonny: What?

Will: Looks like my mom might not be the only person leaving salem.

Sarah: Just, uh, picked up a refill of my meds.

Jj: Are they working?

Sarah: Getting there.

Jj: Abigail beat rolf’s drug. I’m sure you can too.

Sarah: You know, um, when i had my first hallucination, I was…I was really scared. And I thought that I would never be cured again. And marlena suggested that I should talk to abigail because she’d been through it. And the night she died, I was going to. Maybe if I had gone, I could’ve stopped the killer.

Jj: Or you would’ve been killed too.

Sarah: I just can’t help but think–

Jj: Yeah, I keep having the same thought, sarah. Same guilt. But I have to keep reminding myself that the only person responsible for taking my sister away from us is the person who murdered her.

Sarah: Do you really think it was lucas?

Jj: I really hope not. But whoever it was… god help them when they face me.

Xander: Well, I hope it’s at least a bit of a comfort for you and jennifer to… to have jj back, I mean.

Jack: Unfortunately, nothing is much of a comfort right now.

Xander: I understand. And as if jennifer isn’t already in enough pain, now her… her brother’s a suspect?

Jack: I’m praying for his sake and ours that he didn’t do it.

Xander: Well, no matter what, I’m here for you, mate. I hope you know that.

Jack: I do. So you– tell me about you and sarah.

Xander: Well, kristen caused a lot of damage. We’re still feeling the effects.

Jack: But still… you got a–you got a chance to start again with the woman that you love.

Xander: I do. And I realize just… just how lucky that makes me.

Lucas: My mother went to talk to marlena, and she thinks that if I get put under hypnosis that it’ll all come back to me. But I don’t know why she’d help me after everything I did to sami.

Jennifer: And I am sure marlena would do whatever it takes to…find out what happened to abigail.

Marlena: She’s right about that. W as ktonowhat happened to theirs. A

[Dramatic music]

Pool floaties are like whooping cough.

Will: Remember that streaming service I wrote the “alamainian peacock” miniseries for?

Sonny: Yeah, you did the movie “a very salem christmas” for them too.

Will: Yes, exactly. So I pitched a bunch of new projects to them, and they want to do one.

Sonny: Oh my god, will! That–that’s incredible. What’s–what’s the project?

Will: Well, it’s top secret, of course, but what I can tell you is that they want me to come to la. Possibly to direct.

Sonny: Oh my god, that’s an amazing opportunity.

Will: I know, it is. But I have to turn it down, ’cause I…I gotta stay here for my dad.

Sonny: Are you ser– will. Your dad wouldn’t want you to put your entire life on hold.

Will: Well…[Sighs] What about you and ari?

Sonny: We’d be fine. She’s on summer vacation. She’s very flexible. Okay? And once she’s back in school, we’ll come visit you out in la, you can come visit here. I mean, it’ll work out perfectly.

Will: Are you sure?

Sonny: Yes, a thousand percent.

Will: Okay. I love you.

Sonny: I love you.

Lucas: I want you to know how incredibly sorry I am about what I did to sami.

Marlena: Your mother asked me if I would hypnotize you… in hopes of helping you remember what happened the night that… abigail was killed.

Lucas: I’m grateful you agreed.

Marlena: I’m not doing this for you. I’m not doing this for kate. I’m doing it for abigail and her family. Rafe is letting me do this with the understanding that nothing discussed here will end up in court. But we all think it’s important to find out the truth about what happened.

Lucas: I need to know if I did this.

Marlena: Then let’s begin.

Kate: Marlena has agreed to hypnotize lucas. Maybe he can remember what happened the night abigail died.

Ej: Oh, kate, I’m glad you’re here.

Kate: Really? I thought that I was your enemy.

Ej: Indeed. And now chad is as well.

Chad: What? I thought that you said that you were gonna take time to think it over.

Ej: Oh, I have. And my first thought was to have you both thrown in prison, but upon further reflection, I believe there’s another way you can make restitution.

Kate: Oh, boy. What’s that?

Ej: If you wish to remain free, you both have to sign over your dimera shares to me.

Xander: Got your meds I see.

Sarah: Mm-hmm. Did you see jack?

Xander: I did. And while he was talking about abigail, I was reminded of something. That we have to make the most of each and every day.

Sarah: I wholeheartedly agree. So, how shall we make the most of today?

Xander: Well, I was thinking that maybe…

Sarah: Yes?

Xander: You and I…

Sarah: Yes?

Xander: Could get married.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Deacon: Wow. I mean, talk about not holding back.

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah. The– it feels good to vent.

Deacon: Yeah. No wonder I get paid the big bucks.

Deacon: Hey listen, if anyone has a reason to unleash on sheila, it’s you. Especially after what she did steffy and her family. And especially finn. Just, you know, let it out. Get all those feelings out, taylor, I’m telling you. You’ll feel better. I promise.

Ridge: No, that’s perfect. Keep me updated.

Brooke: Taylor went into work?

Ridge: Yeah. There was uh, a security guard outside of her office.

Brooke: Even so, you can’t help but worry, right?

Ridge: No, because she’s gone through a lot of stuff… and me being here with you. I mean, I love it, but, it’s, uh, just another thing for her to adjust to.

Brooke: Okay. But she will adjust, just like I’m adjusting to having you back home.

Ridge: Yeah you’re adjusting right now, is that what you’re doing?

Hope: Oh.

Ridge: Why, why, why?

Hope: You have no idea how happy it makes me to see the two of you together like this again.

Liam: Damn, dad. You picked a hell of a restaurant.

Bill: We can go somewhere else, if it bothers you, liam.

Liam: Go somewhere else. Yeah, of course it bothers me. I mean, look– look, we’re feet away from where steffi and finn– I mean, sheila shot them right there. That’s– it’s like

Wyatt: It doesn’t even seem real. I mean, how could somebody do something like that here?

Bill: Well, this is sheila crackpot carter we’re talking about. I knew the moment she slithered back to L.A., That it was going to be trouble. I just never imagined it could be what actually happened.

Wyatt: You know what I don’t get? After everything that sheila has done, how is she still out there roaming free? Where’s the justice? Like, when– when is sheila going to get hers?

Liam: Sheila gets hers when she’s back behind bars for the rest of her stupid life.

Wyatt: And what about the cops? They don’t know where she is?

Liam: Not that I know of.

Bill: What do you know?

Liam: I know that ridge isn’t leaving anything to chance. And the guy has hired a legion of security guards to protect him and his family.

Bill: All right. Well, I got to give the dressmaker props for that. Never been a cheerleader for the guy. But I do respect his love for his family.

Hope: If I am interrupting something, which I can see that I am.

Brooke: No, honey. You are not interrupting anything. You’re always welcome here.

Ridge: Of course you are. But, uh, you know, a little bit of notice would be nice.

Hope: Oh.

Brooke: So, where are the kids?

Hope: Oh, they’re at playdates. And don’t worry, the security cars are out front watching. I’m just– trying to keep their lives as normal as possible while sheila’s still on the loose.

Ridge: Well, since you’re here, um, I don’t want to put you on the spot, but have you spoken to your dad? Does he, maybe, know where sheila is?

Deacon: Oh, come on. Don’t stop now. Vent about sheila to your heart’s content. I’m actually enjoying this.

Taylor: Yeah, I think you are. Hey, deacon. Anything that’s been said in here, just mum’s the word, okay?

Deacon: Hey, lady, what kind of practice do you think I run? Doctor patient confidentiality here. Now, come on. Seriously, I– I know I don’t have any fancy degrees in head shrinking, but I do know human nature.

Taylor: I can see that. You know, I– I know that you said that you didn’t know where sheila was, and I believe you. But if you could think of somewhere that she might be, like what do you think, deacon? Because we– we have to get her. We have to find her before she hurts more people.

[Knock at the door]

Mike: Sheila, I’m back. Okay, I did everything that you asked. Oh, my freakin’– you’ve killed your son, again? Hey, it’s me…your skin.

Wyatt: So, I’m guessing you’re missing kelly like crazy?

Liam: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Separation has been tough.

Bill: But necessary.

Liam: Absolutely. Steffy and the kids, they need this time to heal. And they’re sure as hell not going to do that if they’re sticking around here, so.

Wyatt: Without the constant reminder of finn being gone, you mean?

Liam: Well, yeah, that. The sheila thing. I mean, it– it’s not like they’re going to forget finn. Steffy is going to see to that. But still.

Bill: She really loved the guy.

Liam: Still does. And she’s– she’s– it’s steffy. You know, she’s staying strong for the kids, but this loss has been– it’s been enormous for her, and it’s going to continue to be.

Hope: Are you really asking me if my dad knows where sheila is?

Ridge: Well, he spent a lot of time with her, so, yeah, I am.

Hope: Well, uh, my dad told me that he hasn’t spoken to sheila since she escaped from prison, and I believe him, but, clearly you don’T.

Ridge: I don’T. I don’t believe anything he says. I never will.

Deacon: Taylor, if I had the slightest clue where sheila was, I would tell you. She hasn’t been in touch. I’m telling the truth, taylor. I swear.

Taylor: I believe you. I do. I believe you, deacon.

Deacon: Wow, huh, it’s kind of a kick in the head. Not really used to people taking me at my word. Okay, um, how is steffy dealing with all this? I mean, I know she’s fierce like her mom, but… I mean, this has got to be a lot to deal with. You know, trying to put your life back together after something like that. Have you and ridge thought about going to visit her?

Taylor: Well, sure. I mean, we– we talked about it a few times, you know, before he moved back in–

Deacon: I’m guessing that a trip to europe right now with ridge could be a little awkward.

Taylor: Yeah.

Deacon: Shifting gears, I’m going to put my shrink hat back on and give you a little more unsolicited advice.

Taylor: Oh god, your shrink hat.

Deacon: All right. Listen, you, uh, you urged me to talk about my feelings about brooke.

Taylor: Mm hmm.

Deacon: I would challenge you to talk about your feelings about ridge and brooke’s destiny.

Sheila: You really think I would kill my own son?

Mike: Hello? You have, almost twice now. Shooting him, then shocking him.

Sheila: He was upset, mike. I put a sedative in his I.V. To calm him down. Give me that. Did you get everything I asked for? All of the medicines?

Mike: Yeah. But I got to tell you, I– I’m really not comfortable with this whole situation.

Sheila: Oh, really? You’re uncomfortable? I’m here worried about my son. Plus, I’m probably going to go back to prison.

Mike: Well, true. But at– look at the bright side. At least you haven’t murdered anyone. Oh. Unless we include finn’s real mom.

Sheila: No I– I am finn’s real mother. And I didn’t murder li. That was an accident.

Mike: Whatever you say. But if the cops connect you to another “accident–”

Sheila: And how are they going to do that? They haven’t even found li’s body. I have scoured the internet. I have found nothing on a body or the truck.

[ Crashing ]

Sheila: I didn’t mean for li to die. So why do these things always keep happening to me? Give me your phone.

Mike: What are you doing?

Sheila: I’m calling li. – Look, this isn’t my first rodeo,

Wyatt: You expecting someone?

Bill: No. I’m just looking around to see if that ex-con is here with his mop and pail. I mean, you got to love it, right? Deacon sharpe working in a bar.

Wyatt: Well, at least he’s got a job and he’s not working one of his scams like he’s been known to do.

Bill: I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Once a con man, always a con man. Remember when he told everybody he was steering clear of sheila? Well, that wasn’t true. So, who knows? Maybe he’s still connected to her.

Liam: Hmm. Not according to hope. The last time she talked to deacon, she said he seemed pretty damn disenchanted with sheila. He hadn’t heard from her, and he doesn’t expect to.

Brooke: Okay, uh, look, maybe we should just talk about something else.

Hope: No. No, it’s okay, mom. I know that ridge is just trying to look out for the people he loves.

Ridge: That’s exactly right. I mean, we can all agree that your dad’s a bit of an operator. But he told us he had nothing to do with sheila, and he was with her the whole time.

Hope: I– I don’t think it’s how you’re making it out to be. My dad has had no contact with sheila.

Ridge: And I think that’s great. And he also should have no contact with any of the people that I care about. Is it too much to ask? No.

Deacon: All right. Go time. Time to tell dr. Deacon everything about this brooke and ridge destiny thing.

Taylor: Dr. Deacon. You’re not going to stop, are you?

Deacon: Look, taylor, I will if you really want me to. I just I– seriously, for a second. I– I really feel like you’ve got something that’s bottled up inside of you. Something that you haven’t said and that you’ve kept for a long time. And it’s been gnawing at you. And if that’s the case, now’s the time to get it out. I mean, come on. You can’t beat my price. All right, look, I get it, you know? I mean. Why would you want to open up to a guy like me? Guy who has got my history. I– I don’t blame you.

Taylor: No, deacon, it’s not that. It’s– it’s– you know, just when I think about– brooke and ridge, and their destiny. It’s hard for me to even say it without laughing, almost, because, I don’t know. Maybe they’re meant to be together forever. Maybe– maybe, they’re going to be destiny for eternity. But maybe, just maybe this bridge they’re building is– is burning to the ground day by day. Because the woman who claims she wants to save it, won’t stop playing with the matches.

Deacon: Boom! Look at that. Wow. Tell me how you really feel, doctor.

Mike: You’re calling a dead woman’s phone? You’re losing it, sheila. Dearly departed don’t usually answer their phones.

Sheila: It went to voicemail.

Mike: What’d you expect, the real thing?

Sheila: Shut up!

Mike: I’m just saying.

Sheila: I just don’t want to hear it. Do you know the pressure that I’m under? And– and when finn wakes up–

[ Finn moans ]

Mike: He’s coming, to.

Sheila: Ah. I see that.

Mike: So, what’s the plan, sheila? I sprung you from prison. What are you going to do with finn?

Bill: Thank you.

Liam: Man, I just want this to be over. I want sheila to be caught. I want her to be locked up. So that when steffy and the kids do come home, they– sheila’s not a threat to them. You know, steffy needs to start rebuilding her life. As difficult as that will be without finn.

Deacon: So vat I’m

he-yar-ring, in my professional opinion, is that you and zis brooke logan will neverrr be bffs.

Taylor: Never, never. But gosh, deacon, it– it really has been nice to commiserate with someone about brooke and ridge and all that.

Deacon: Feels good to be able to open up and just talk to somebody, yeah.

Taylor: Yeah.

Deacon: You know, uh, sheila and I were, I guess, on some level, friends, and, what with her being a murdering psychopath and all, I don’t have any other friends right now except you. And, um, you know, I don’t know– I don’t have the fancy degree, but I’ve got a pretty sturdy shoulder. If you ever need to lean on it, I’ll show up for you.

Taylor: Thank you, deacon. I appreciate that. Honestly, right now, all I can focus on is my daughter and my grandkids. And what sheila did to take finn away from them.

Ridge: I’m sorry. It’s been a long couple of months, and, uh, I’m frustrated. I don’t need to let that out on you. I apologize.

Hope: Thank you, for that.

Brooke: Yeah, well, we’re all a little bit on edge, and we just need to relax. I know it’s still an eerie feeling knowing that sheila’s out there somewhere, waiting, biding her time.

Hope: But what could she be plotting for?

Brooke: I don’t know. I mean, that’s the scary thing. We don’t know what’s going on in her twisted mind, what she’s going to come up with next.

Hope: Well, she would have a death wish. Trying to come after you or taylor. And ridge had made sure of that with all the security he’s hired.

Brooke: Well, that’s true. And I really appreciate what you’ve done, ridge. You have really given me peace of mind, and taylor too.

Ridge: I think sheila has caused enough pain, we all agree on that, right? Done with it. She’s not going to hurt anyone in my family ever again.

Sheila: What’s the plan, mike? What’s the plan?

Mike: Yeah. Look at him. He’s waking up. He’s going to be all over your case for shooting him full of sedatives.

Sheila: I didn’t shoot him full of sedatives. I gave finn something to keep him from getting more upset.

Mike: Sheila, he’s upset because you’re keeping him from his wife and child.

Sheila: I’m– I’m protecting him. My son’s happiness means everything to me. And that’s what he’s going to have once I reunite him with steffy and hayes. He’s gonna be so happy, mike. He is going to forget all about this.

Mike: That’s real noble. But you’re still headed right back to prison.

Sheila: Maybe that’s where I belong.

Mike: And what about me? I’m going to prison, too. I’m an accomplice in this now. Sheila, look, I get that you gave birth to him. But it’s not like you are a mother to him. Not like you raised him all those years. Be smart. Cut your losses. You got a lot of life to live. And we could be real good together. You and me.

Sheila: Oh, my god. Are you suggesting that I run away with you, and leave my son to die?

Mike: I’m suggesting that finn already has a death certificate. Maybe it’s best to just let it be.

[ Finn internally panting ]

Finn: I got to get out of here before it’s too late. I have to get to steffy.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Sonny wakes Will up in bed and they talk about yesterday being rough. Will hoped everything that happened with his dad was just a horrible nightmare. Sonny wishes he could tell him it was, but shows him his phone with an article in The Intruder about Lucas being arrested at his wedding.

Lucas sits in the interrogation room, handcuffed to the table. JJ walks in and says he just came from the courthouse and heard that Lucas plead not guilty to kidnapping Sami even though he admitted that he did to a room full of people. JJ asks if now he wants to admit that he killed his sister.

Kate guesses that Roman told Marlena. Marlena confirms that he did and tells Kate not to come back to her house. Kate stops her and says she needs her help. Marlena responds that Sami needed her help, when Kate’s son kidnapped and terrorized her but Kate said nothing and covered for him. Kate points out that Sami is fine. Marlena argues that Sami is fine physically but is a mess in every other way. Kate apologizes. Marlena argues that she’s only sorry because she got caught. Marlena adds that it’s bad enough that Kate knew Lucas kidnapped Sami and said nothing, but then she sat in the church in front of God and everybody and she was about to allow Lucas to marry Sami. Kate states that when she learned about what Lucas had done, Sami was already free. Marlena points out that EJ wasn’t free.

EJ talks to the portrait of Stefano in the DiMera Mansion about how Sami says she’s leaving Salem for good and he thinks she means it. EJ states that Stefano always taught him that there’s nothing more important than family and look what he’s done. EJ goes over that he’s lost Sami, disrespected Belle, Kristen turned on him, and he’s alienated Chad, who he hasn’t seen or heard from in days. Chad then walks in to the room.

Xander and Sarah kiss in their room at the Salem Inn after a shower. Sarah removes Xander’s towel and they kiss onto the bed.

Kate thanks Marlena for letting her in. Marlena says it was only because she didn’t want the neighbors to hear her tirade. Marlena adds that she’s always known Kate could be a little selfish, but never dreamed she would let an innocent man sit in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Kate argues that EJ is hardly an innocent man. Marlena responds that EJ did not kidnap Sami and he did not deserve to go to prison for Lucas’s crime. Kate asks what about the other crimes EJ never paid for. Marlena argues that you can’t take something EJ did in the past and try to make him pay for it instead of what Lucas needs to pay for. Kate admits she did feel badly for EJ which is why she led Belle to the evidence that exonerated him. Marlena asks if Kate felt sorry for Sami because she was the victim of a horrendous crime. Kate remarks that Sami is nobody’s victim.

Chad tells EJ that he saw Sami on his way in and asks if she’s leaving town. EJ assures that Sami will be back since her parents and her children are here. Chad thought since Sami knows EJ didn’t kidnap her, that maybe they had a shot at getting back together. EJ admits he did too. Chad tells EJ that he’s here because he owes him an apology as he was wrong in making a terrible accusation, blaming EJ for his death. Chad says he was just angry that EJ didn’t tell him that Clyde threatened their family but he shouldn’t have gone off on him because he jumped to the conclusion that Clyde killed Abigail, but now it’s clear that it was someone else.

Lucas tells JJ that he knows how much he loved Abigail. JJ points out that Lucas loves Sami too but it didn’t stop him from hurting her. Lucas is sorry that JJ is hurting. JJ doesn’t want his sympathy, he wants answers, and declares that he’s not leaving until he gets them. JJ asks Lucas if he killed Abigail. Lucas admits that he doesn’t know. JJ questions how he could not know if he stabbed someone to death. Lucas cries that he doesn’t remember anything. JJ could understand not wanting to remember doing something that horrible, the terror in her eyes, her screaming, crying, and begging him to stop with all that blood. Lucas cries that he wants to remember everything, but he can’t because he was drunk and blacked out. JJ asks why he looks so guilty then. Lucas says he’s ashamed and he hates himself for what he did, for kidnapping Sami, falling off the wagon, and not knowing what he did after. JJ suggests maybe Lucas just needs a little help. JJ says that Lucas doesn’t seem to be having much luck on his own so maybe he can jog his memory. JJ grabs Lucas and screams that maybe he needs to beat the truth out of him.

Marlena tells Kate that she’s aware that Sami has gone to extremes to help her family but that does not excuse Lucas. Kate argues that Lucas made a mistake, but doesn’t deserve to go to prison. Marlena points out that Lucas was just arraigned for kidnapping his fiancée and he’s under suspicion for killing his niece. Kate argues that Lucas isn’t capable of killing anyone. Marlena brings up the concept of denial. Kate understands that she’s angry but asks if she really believes Lucas killed Abigail.

EJ tells Chad that he’s sorry again about Clyde as he should’ve told him right away that he threatened their family, but he thought making a deal with him was the best way to protect everyone and as soon as he heard that he was arrested in connection to Abigail’s murder, he couldn’t keep quiet any longer, so he went to Rafe but it was too little, too late. EJ states that Chad was right that he was arrogant and selfish by thinking he had this all under control. Chad calls it the DiMera Way. EJ says so is putting family first. EJ assures that he will help Chad get justice for his wife, whatever it takes. EJ says they now know that Clyde has an airtight alibi while Chad points out that Lucas does not.

Lucas tells JJ to go ahead and hit him. JJ asks if Lucas was in Abigail’s house or if he went up to her room. Lucas cries that he doesn’t know. JJ demands he think and asks if Lucas asked Abigail to keep quiet about what he did to Sami and when she refused, he stabbed her, ending her life. JJ demands an answer. Lucas screams that he doesn’t know as he told everybody and he wants to remember, but he can’t. JJ guesses he’ll have to beat it out of him then. JJ raises his hand to Lucas but Jennifer runs in and calls for him to stop.

Xander and Sarah continue kissing in their room until Sarah mentions that she has to get to the hospital to pick up a refill of her prescription, noting that the adjusted dose seems to be working. Sarah mentions that she hasn’t had any hallucinations in a few days which is great, but she doesn’t think they are out of the woods yet. Xander says he’s very optimistic. Sarah is grateful that she didn’t hurt anyone when she was seeing Kristen as she would never be able to forgive herself. Xander is sorry that she’s still dealing with this. Sarah hopes their life can finally go back to normal. Xander wishes he could say the same for Jack. Sarah notes that he didn’t talk much to Jack at Abigail’s funeral. Xander says he was surrounded by family, so he didn’t want to intrude. Sarah bets Jack would really like to hear from Xander in person. Xander agrees that they should drop by and offer condolences to Jack and Jennifer too.

Jennifer stops JJ and questions what he’s doing. JJ responds that he’s trying to find out if Jennifer’s brother killed his sister. Jennifer tells JJ to let him go. JJ screams not until he answers him. Jennifer pleads with JJ to let go of Lucas until she successfully pulls him off. JJ cries that Abigail is gone and he needs it to make sense. Jennifer says they all want answers and promises they will get them. Jennifer says that Abigail being taken from them will never make sense. JJ then storms out of the room. Jennifer tells Lucas that it was wrong of JJ to put his hands on him. Lucas says they both have every right to be furious at him. Jennifer says he’s her brother and she loves him. Lucas responds that he’s not worthy of that. Jennifer tells him not to say that but Lucas says it’s the truth as he made a terrible choice. Lucas states that he chose to drink and knew it would turn his life upside down, but he did it anyway because he wanted to numb his own pain and didn’t care about the pain he caused other people. Jennifer encourages that he’s a good person. Lucas disagrees, pointing out that he didn’t come clean until his back was against the wall. Lucas declares that he lied, denied, and framed EJ all on his own, so if he goes to prison, the psych ward, or gets the death penalty, he doesn’t care because he deserves it.

Sonny tells Will that he can’t imagine Lucas killing anyone, let alone his own niece. Will says if he asked him a week ago if Lucas was capable of killing anyone, he would’ve said no that’s crazy but he just found out he kidnapped Sami and kept her captive for months. Sonny argues that was different because he was scared and terrified that he was going to lose the person he loves the most and they both know what that was like. Sonny calls it a huge jump from kidnapping to murder. Will feels it’s not if you’re desperate and drunk. Sonny questions killing Abigail being the solution. Will argues that Lucas wasn’t thinking and was operating on emotion, adrenaline, and fear. Will complains that Lucas has motive, means, opportunity, and a huge gash on his hand that looks bad, questioning how to explain that. Sonny encourages Will to breathe and asks if he can really imagine Lucas stabbing Abigail. Will responds that he couldn’t imagine them rolling up Leo Stark’s presumed dead body up in a rug but they did. Sonny calls that totally different. Will asks how since it was anger turned to violence. Will states that Lucas was angry and scared, so it’s entirely possible that he got drunk, went to confront Abigail, things got heated and he did what he thought he had to do to keep from losing Sami. Sonny doesn’t think that’s what happened. Will hopes he is right. Will calls it all speculation anyway as none of them know what happened and Lucas doesn’t remember anything about that night.

Kate tells Marlena that even after what Lucas did to Sami, there is no way he could’ve killed Abigail no matter how drunk he was. Marlena asks what Kate is doing here and what she wants from her. Kate wants Marlena to help Lucas.

EJ knew from the start that Lucas was responsible for Sami’s kidnapping but no one believed him and according to Roman, Kate knew Lucas was guilty and said nothing and was perfectly happy for him to take the fall. EJ acknowledges that he and Kate had their differences but he never expected that level of treachery from her. Chad asks what about from him which EJ questions. Chad then reveals that Kate wasn’t the only one who knew that Lucas was behind the kidnapping, as he did too. Chad admits that he knew EJ was innocent all along.

Will informs Sonny that Sami texted him that she’s leaving Salem and she vows to never ever come back. Sonny understands she’s very upset, but once she calms down, he promises she will come right back to town. Will asks Sonny to distract him from all this. Sonny got him a blueberry scone and iced coffee from the bakery as they then start kissing.

Xander goes to see Jack and tells him he’s so sorry about Abigail. Jack mentions seeing him at the funeral. Xander says he wanted to approach him, but kept his distance out of respect and fear of Julie. Jack is glad that he was there as it meant a lot to see him there as they hug. Xander acknowledges that so many people loved Abigail. Jack calls it a lovely service and he can’t believe they got through it. Xander encourages that he’s really strong. Jack credits having Jennifer by his side and is thankful that Chad had EJ.

EJ questions when Chad knew it was Lucas. Chad reveals he caught Lucas planting evidence on a DiMera computer. EJ acknowledges that led to his false imprisonment. Chad knows it was wrong but he was so angry at EJ for getting under his skin with Johnny’s movie and trying to cut him out of DiMera. EJ realizes that by conspiring with Lucas to frame him, Chad could run the company on his own so they both would’ve got what they wanted and says it makes perfect sense. Chad admits he was fine with EJ getting booted from DiMera but as soon as Belle told him that he could be sentenced to 10 years, he planned to come clean on his trial but then he saw what he thought was him forcing himself on Abigail at the courthouse when the Devil morphed in to him. Chad says that EJ hurt him, so he wanted to punish him. EJ states that he’s the one in the family that everyone says is as ruthless as Stefano, but it turns out he’s not alone. EJ asks about Chad planning to testify that he planted the evidence and asks about Lucas. Chad reveals that he promised Kate that he wouldn’t implicate him as all he cared about was keeping EJ out of prison, so he figured Lucas would hang himself eventually and didn’t see the point in bringing him down with him. EJ is sure Kate appreciated that very much and it’s probably why she didn’t throw Chad under the bus when he confronted her.

Lucas asks why Jennifer is here. Jennifer says she knows he loved Abigail and he didn’t do this. Lucas argues that she doesn’t know that. Jennifer questions why he kept this to himself while comforting her over the loss of her daughter when he thought he was the one who might have hurt her. Jennifer asks why he didn’t just tell her. Lucas talks about being scared and thinking about almost losing Will. Lucas calls it devastating to think he inflicted that same pain on his own sister and he felt she was going through too much. Lucas says every time he looked at the bandage on his hand and the bottle he drank, he thought about how much he loved Abigail. Lucas recalls memories of Abigail growing up. Lucas talks about Abigail’s life and how now her husband and kisd have to go on without her. Lucas adds that he didn’t tell her because he could barely tell himself that he might be responsible for taking Abigail away.

Chad tells EJ that he’s truly sorry for what he did and acknowledges how EJ has been here for him for the last few weeks like a true brother. Chad hopes EJ can somehow find a way to forgive him. EJ says he’ll have to give the matter careful consideration because his betrayal has cost him a great deal, including what may have been his last chance with Sami. EJ knows Chad just lost his wife and he respects him admitting this to him. Chad hopes they can find a way to get past this. EJ calls it ironic that Chad slammed him for not reporting Clyde Weston, yet Chad did the same with Lucas, kept quiet about his crimes and allowed him to remain free which may very well have cost Abigail her life. EJ then exits the room.

Xander tells Jack that he’s surprised to hear EJ stepped up for Chad. Jack responds that Abigail brought out the best in everyone. Xander says except maybe Gwen, then apologizes for bringing that up. Jack tells Xander that he doesn’t need to tiptoe around him as he knows he had his issues with Abigail as well. Xander admits at first he blamed Abigail for leaving the syringe in the secret room at the DiMera Mansion but then he realized she had no way of knowing it would be used to hurt Sarah. Jack says that drug warped Abigail’s mind and she felt awful about what happened to Sarah. Xander notes that in true Abigail fashion, she actually did something about it, got to the bottom of Kristen’s crazy scheme, found Sarah on the deserted island and risked her own life to bring Sarah home to him.

Sarah runs in to JJ in the town square and notes that she barely got to talk to him at the funeral but she wanted to tell him again that she’s so sorry. Sarah asks what’s going on. JJ responds that he just came from the police station where he confronted Lucas and asked him if he killed Abigail but he said he doesn’t remember. Sarah asks if JJ believes him. JJ doesn’t know what to believe. Sarah knows Rafe will fight for justice just like Abigail would. JJ brings up hearing that Sarah was injected with the same drug as Abigail and asks how she’s doing. Sarah says she’s better but she got a double dose so it’s taking longer to get it out of her system. Sarah mentions having hallucinations and seeing Kristen everywhere and wanting to kill her.

Lucas tells Jennifer that he must be losing his mind. Jennifer asks Lucas to do something for her and forget that she’s his sister and just talk to her like a reporter. Lucas agrees to tell her whatever she wants to know. Jennifer wants to know everything, starting with the kidnapping. Lucas explains that he was desperate to get Sami back and he did something insane by keeping her locked up where no one could find her, but she was safe the whole time. Jennifer asks about him setting EJ up and sending him to prison. Lucas confirms he did but says it worked out because EJ was released but Sami still thought he was guilty, so he thought he was going to get everything he wanted but then he found out that Abigail knew about the kidnapping. Jennifer asks what he did then. Lucas admits he panicked because he didn’t know if Abigail was going to tell people and if she did, he knew he’d lose Sami and she’d go back to EJ while he would end up in prison. Jennifer asks about after he talked to Kate. Lucas felt he had one final night of freedom so he went crazy, polished off a bottle and drank himself in to oblivion. Jennifer questions if he doesn’t remember anything he did that night which Lucas confirms. Lucas says he wants and needs to remember because not knowing is killing him.

Kate tells Marlena that she knows how painful it is when someone you care about has no memory. Marlena remarks that if they were talking about somebody that she cares about, she might be inclined to help. Kate asks if she cares about Abigail. Marlena says she does very much. Kate tells Marlena to hate her and Lucas but to do this for Abigail, because if she helps Lucas get answers then she will help get justice for Abigail too.

Will and Sonny lay in bed together. Will wants to stay like this forever and shut out the outside world, but then he gets a text message and announces it looks like Sami might not be the only person leaving Salem…

Sarah tells JJ that she just picked up a refill of her meds. JJ asks if they are working. Sarah says she’s getting there. JJ responds that Abigail beat Dr. Rolf’s drug, so he’s sure she can too. Sarah brings up when she had her first hallucination and how she was really scared and thought she’d never be cured again. Sarah adds that Marlena suggested she talk to Abigail because she had been through it. Sarah says the night Abigail died, she was going to and maybe if she had gone, she could’ve stopped the killer. JJ points out that she could’ve been killed too. JJ adds that he keeps having the same thoughts and guilt but he keeps reminding himself that the only person responsible for taking Abigail away from them is the person who murdered her. Sarah asks if he really thinks it was Lucas. JJ responds that he really hopes not, but whoever it was, God help them when they face him.

Xander hopes that it’s at least a bit of a comfort for Jack and Jennifer to have JJ back. Jack responds that unfortunately nothing is much of a comfort right now. Xander says he understands and says if Jennifer isn’t already in enough pain, now her brother is a suspect. Jack says he is praying for his sake and their sake that he didn’t do it. Xander assures that he’s here for him no matter what. Jack wants to hear about Xander and Sarah. Xander states that Kristen caused a lot of damage, so they are still feeling the effects. Jack reminds Xander that he has a chance to start again with the woman he loves. Xander assures that he realizes just how lucky that makes him.

Lucas tells Jennifer that Kate went to talk to Marlena and thinks if he gets put under hypnosis then it will all come back to him, but he doesn’t know why Marlena would help him after everything he did to Sami. Jennifer responds that she’s sure Marlena would do whatever it takes to figure out what happened to Abigail. Marlena walks in and says she’s right about that. Marlena declares that as upset as she is about what Lucas did to her daughter, she does think that Jack and Jennifer have a right to know what happened to their daughter.

Will reminds Sonny of the streaming service that he wrote the Alamanian Peacock mini-series for and the Christmas movie. Will reveals he pitched a bunch of new projects and they want to do one. Sonny asks what the project is. Will says it’s top secret but they want to come to LA to possibly direct. Sonny calls that an amazing opportunity. Will says it is but he will have to turn it down because he has to stay here for his dad. Sonny argues that his dad wouldn’t want him to put his entire life on hold. Will asks about Sonny and Arianna. Sonny says they’ll be fine and will arrange visits so it will work out perfectly. Will asks if he’s sure. Sonny says he is. Will says he loves him and they kiss.

Lucas tells Marlena how incredibly sorry he is about what he did to Sami. Marlena states that Kate asked her to hypnotize him in hopes of helping him remember what happened the night that Abigail was killed. Lucas is grateful that she agreed. Marlena clarifies that she’s not doing this for him or Kate, but for Abigail and her family. Marlena adds that Rafe is letting her do this with the understanding that nothing they discuss will end up in court, but they all think it’s important to find out the truth about what happened. Lucas agrees that he needs to know if he did this. Marlena decides to begin the hypnosis.

Kate goes to the DiMera Mansion and informs Chad that Marlena has agreed to hypnotize Lucas so maybe he can remember what happened on the night that Abigail died. EJ walks in and tells Kate that he’s glad she’s there. Kate thought she was his enemy. EJ confirms that she is and adds that now Chad is as well. Chad thought he was going to take time to think it over. EJ responds that he has and his first thought was to have them both thrown in prison but upon further reflection, he believes there’s another way. EJ declares that if they wish to remain free, they both have to sign over their DiMera shares to him.

Xander returns to Sarah in their room at the Salem Inn. Xander sees she got her meds and tells her about seeing Jack. Xander says while he was talking about Abigail, he was reminded that they have to make the most of every day. Sarah agrees and asks how they should make the most of today. Xander suggests they could get married which makes Sarah smile.

Y&R logo

Recap written by Christine

At Chancellor Park, Kyle demanded to know where Harrison was. Ashland pointed him out – he was at the pond with Diane. Kyle was going to go get his son, but Summer said she’d get him while Kyle kept an eye on Ashland. Ashland commented that they were planning to keep him here until the cops arrived. Michael told Ashland not to try to run, because there were too many witnesses who saw him violating the restraining order. Kyle demanded to know what Ashland was thinking. Ashland said his crime was reassuring Harrison that he hadn’t been abandoned and that yet another person hadn’t walked out of his life. Ashland maintained that this was madness. He’d just wanted to have a moment to hold Harrison and say goodbye. He asked if they were all so cold as to think he was a threat to Harrison. Nikki contended that Ashland was a threat to everyone he came into contact with, and now he was going to jail, where he belonged.

Ashland asked if the cops who were on their way were on Victor’s payroll, just like the judge who signed the restraining order. Michael claimed he had no idea what Ashland was talking about. He said not everyone needed to be paid off to enforce the law. Diane approached and said Summer took Harrison to look at the ducks. Ashland sarcastically thanked Diane. She said she was just trying to protect her grandson. He accused her of setting this up. A cop came, and Nikki pointed out Ashland. Ashland claimed this was all an innocent mistake – he just happened to be at the park when Harrison ran to him, and he couldn’t bring himself to ignore the child. The cop was unmoved. Ashland didn’t want Harrison to see him get arrested, so Kyle went to distract him. Ashland wasn’t cuffed; he went with the cop peacefully.

Michael pointedly told Nikki that Diane did the right thing. Nikki grudgingly agreed. Summer returned and asked if Ashland was gone, and Michael said yes, thanks to Diane. Nikki also gave Diane credit. Diane hoped this showed Nikki that she was one of the good guys. Nikki said one right move didn’t erase a lifetime of destruction. Diane said that Nikki’s opinion wasn’t her main concern. She did this for Kyle, Summer and Harrison.

Later, Nikki and Michael were alone, he said they got lucky because Diane really came through. Nikki said Diane was in the right spot at the right time, as usual. He asked what that meant. She said that, no matter the situation, things always seemed to work out for Diane. He contended that Diane tried to do something good, but Nikki said Diane was trying to improve her image. He painted Diane in a good light, while Nikki argued that Diane never did anything selfless. Michael stated that, selfless or not, Diane protected Harrison. Nikki shifted gears and said the important thing was Ashland was finally facing legal consequences. Michael said Ashland would probably be out later today, since it was a misdemeanor, and he’d make bail. She said at least they sent a strong message. Michael thought it would be smart of Ashland to leave town for good.

Victoria walked into her office, where Victor and Nick were waiting. Victor was behind the desk. Victoria said that everything was set for the press conference. Victor protested that there were only three of them, and Nikki and Adam were missing. Victor and Nick wanted to hear how Victoria’s talk with Adam went. She said Adam tried to convince her not to fire Sally, and he said he and Sally broke up. Nick was skeptical, because the last few times he saw Sally and Adam together, they seemed fine. Victoria had no idea what was going on – she said Adam could be bluffing to keep Sally in her position. Victoria said the media division had become a very important part of the company, and she didn’t want to see it in potentially dangerous hands. She had to make a decision about Sally soon. Victor asked if Adam was coming back to Newman Media. Victoria knew it wasn’t what Victor wanted to hear, but Adam had no intention of going back. Nick was sure Adam had a plan. He said once again, Adam was the wildcard.

Victor admitted he’d hoped to announce at the press conference that Adam had returned to the company and that they were working together as a family. Victoria said that would’ve been a lovely photo op that would’ve lead to more conflict. He was still disappointed. She said that Adam didn’t want to be her subordinate. Victor asked if Victoria made any attempt to change Adam’s mind. She said no, because she thought Adam’s decision was best for the company. Victor thought Sally was the only one who could save his mind. Victoria said that if Sally tried, she failed, and if the breakup was real, Sally likely wouldn’t give up her promotion for her ex. “Well if she is no longer the key to Adam coming back to the company then what the hell use is she?,” Victor said. Victoria said she didn’t have a lot of faith in Sally running the business day to day, and if this breakup was real, Adam wouldn’t be around to guide Sally. However, Victoria didn’t have a real replacement. She vowed to make a decision about Sally by the end of the day.

Nikki went to work and told her family about Ashland’s arrest. Victoria thought Ashland had gone too far. Nick felt that the important thing was that Harrison was okay. Victoria noticed Victor didn’t seem surprised. Victor said he’d instructed Michael to be vigilant because Ashland would likely try to see his son. Nikki revealed that Diane was the one who tipped off Michael. Victor said Ashland was too despicable for Diane, but Nick thought that Diane was probably just looking out for her grandson. Nikki was adamant that Diane was trying to get people to let their guards down. She didn’t want Nick falling for it like Michael had. Victoria swore she’d never give anyone the benefit of the doubt again after what Ashland did. Nick thought that was cynical. Nikki didn’t want Victoria to adopt that attitude toward people as a whole, but she thought it was fine to treat Diane that way. Victor said the important thing was that Ashland was paying.

Ashland was lead to a holding cell, ranting all the way and vowing to sue the police department. The officer sarcastically called him a big shot and said she’d tell him when his lawyer arrived.

Sally was at Newman Media. She called Adam and left a message saying she loved him, but she needed to know what was going on. Chloe walked in, and a worried Sally said she hadn’t heard from Adam since last night, when he sent her a short text saying he was taking a trip to Chicago for the night. Sally thought it was weird, but Chloe said that of all the things she found odd about Adam, she wouldn’t rank that in the top 100. chloe asked if Sally and Adam argued before this. Sally said they were happy, and they’d just snuck off to their secret getaway suite for some private time. Chloe didn’t want the details. She suggested a work emergency. Sally revealed that Adam quit Newman – Victoria was back in charge, and Adam was out in the cold. Chloe asked if they should all duck for cover while Adam got payback. Sally said Adam promised her that he wouldn’t get into any trouble. “When he says something to me, he means it,” Sally said. Chloe said she’d been down this road before, and Sally was in for a rude awakening if she thought Adam was going to keep his word. Sally said maybe Adam changed his mind about not getting payback, or maybe he just lied to her, but either way, he could be exacting revenge on Victor and Victoria right now.

Chloe said maybe Sally was right, and Adam was telling the truth. Chloe was sorry Sally was experiencing this kind of uncertainty, but… Sally knew Chloe thought she should’ve expected this when she got into a relationship with Adam. Chloe assumed the job offer was on hold, now that everything was up in the air. Sally said she’d been assured that her job was safe. Chloe asked who assured Sally. Sally said Adam did. She vowed to stay in charge unless someone dragged her out of this office. Sally was confident she could prove herself, but she needed a second in command. Chloe was interested. Sally asked how Chelsea would take it. Chloe said Chelsea dissolved the partnership, and now she was out of a job, so this offer was perfectly timed.

Sally heard about the press conference and it made her think that her job might be about to disappear. She didn’t think it was a good sign that Newman Enterprises was doing a press conference and she was left out of the loop. Chloe wanted to stay positive. Sally and Chloe watched the press conference.

At the press conference, Victor said Victoria was back from sabbatical and would resume the position of CEO of Newman Enterprises, with Nikki as co-CEO and Nick as COO. Victoria said, with Victor’s guidance, they looked forward to a brand new era for Newman Enterprises. A reporter asked where Adam fit into this. Victoria said her brother filled in admirably while she was gone, and she appreciated that, but since her return, he’d decided to move on to something outside Newman. Back at Newman Media, Sally grumbled to the screen that the family mistreated Adam and used him. A reporter asked if Sally was still in charge at Newman Media. Victoria said possible staff realignments were still under consideration. Sally didn’t think that sounded good.

Back at Newman, Victoria, Nikki and Nick returned to the office after the press conference. Nikki thought the business community would feel confident now that Victoria’s steady hand was at the helm again. Victoria thought they sent the message hat they were out from under the dark cloud of Ashland Locke and that they were stronger than ever and anything was possible. Nikki asked if Victoria was talking about the business or herself. Victoria guessed it was a bit of both. She was glad Nikki and Nick were by her side. Nick predicted nothing but blue skies ahead. Nikki wondered where Victor was.

Ashland heard the cop yell that he had a visitor. He thought it was his lawyer, and he began to grumble about how long they took – a complaint that was cut short when Victor appeared. Victor told Ashland he belonged there, like a caged animal. Ashland said that his lawyers would have him out in no time. Victor didn’t agree. He said Ashland would go back to jail if he approached the boy again. Ashland said Victor was using the boy like a pawn and punishing him to kick Ashland while he was down. Victor said Ashland had this coming. Ashland didn’t agree, and he said Victor was the one who deserved to suffer. Victor reached through the bars and grabbed Ashland. “No one breaks my daughter’s heart and gets away with it. No one!,” Victor snarled. He vowed to follow Ashland wherever he went. Victor left.

At the Abbott house, Diane looked at the family photos. Summer walked in, and Diane asked how Harrison was. He was fine and having a snack. Summer said Harrison seemed happy to see Ashland, and luckily, it didn’t seem like Locke had a chance to fill Harrison’s head with any more lies. Diane said she was thrown by the whole incident. Kyle joined the group and said he was shaken because Ashland could’ve run off with Harrison and vanish for good. Summer thought they should just be grateful Harrison was home safe and sound. Diane worried Kyle was angry with her.

Kyle asked why he’d be angry with Diane, when she didn’t do anything wrong. “It’s not like you colluded with Ashland? Did you?,” Summer replied. The question made Kyle bristle, but Diane thought Summer had every right to ask. She said she didn’t collude with Ashland. She said she let Ashland get close to Harrison for a few moments, and she didn’t think Ashland said anything out of line, but he could’ve. She blamed herself for not thinking things through. He didn’t want her to blame herself. She said maybe she should’ve texted Kyle instead of Michael, but in the moment, she thought he’d know what to do from a legal standpoint. Kyle thought Diane was smart to reach out to the lawyer who set up the restraining order. Summer said Harrison was unscathed, and Diane handled it correctly. Kyle thanked Diane and said he was grateful.

Noah, Tessa and Mariah were at Dive Bar on top of the Athletic Club. He’d invited them out. Tessa had just gotten a second opinion on her vocal nodes, and it wasn’t good. Tessa was going in for surgery tomorrow. Mariah said they were going to be very very very very positive. Noah quipped that this was a lot of positivity. He also shared an optimistic message for Tessa. Allie came up, and Noah said tomorrow was her first day of work at Jabot. Noah got a text about New Hope, and Allie blurted out that he never talked to his dad about his plans.

Allie was so sorry – she didn’t mean to let that slip. Noah said it was okay, since he’d planned to get Mariah and Tessa’s advice on this anyway. He said he was thinking about leaving New Hope, but he wasn’t sure it was the right time, since his dad just went back to Newman. Tessa said Noah wasn’t the office type, so she was surprised he’d stayed at New Hope this long. Allie said Noah had to find his bliss. Noah still felt guilty leaving his dad and New Hope high and dry. Mariah asked if Noah was just going to stay at a job he didn’t want.

Noah said he was going to wait until Nick was more settled at Newman then tell him that he was leaving New Hope. Tessa asked if Noah was going back to art. He said he’d been bummed out on the art scene since London. Noah really enjoyed planning Tessa and Mariah’s wedding and decking out The Top of the Tower to look like a club. He was going to ask Victor if he could lease Top of the Tower and turn it into a permanent club. He said he could combine his experience in the art world and at The Underground and make something that was his own. He said maybe Tessa could perform there sometime. She said he couldn’t afford her, and everyone laughed. Mariah took Allie to the bar for drinks, and Tessa asked Noah how things were going with Allie. He really liked Allie. He didn’t know where it would go, but their first date was fun.

Mariah asked how things were going with Allie at the Abbott house. She said everyone had been really welcoming, but she got the feeling Diane was being nice in case she needed Allie in the future. Mariah advised sticking with the core Abbotts, and Noah too. Later, the foursome toasted.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nikki: Well. Anything interesting going on in the world?

Michael: Always. Are you meeting someone?

Nikki: No, I just came by for some coffee on the way to the office. I happened to see you sitting here all by your lonesome.

Michael: Join me.

Nikki: I guess I have a few minutes.

Michael: So what’s new?

Nikki: Funny you should ask.

Michael: Mm.

Nikki: Just last night, victor told me that ashland is back in town. Apparently, he showed up at victoria’s office while victor was there, and he tried to convince him to lift the restraining order so that he could see harrison. Obviously, my husband denied that request.

Michael: Yeah, victor texted me about it. It sounded like ashland was in rare form.

Nikki: Honestly, the sheer gall of that man.

Michael: That’s one word for it.

Nikki: Well, I suppose after everything he’s done, we shouldn’t assume that he has a sense of right or wrong when it comes to that child. I mean, all ashland cares about is himself.

Michael: It’s called narcissism.

Nikki: Yeah, I sure am glad, though, that you and victor were able to convince kyle and summer to get that order. Just the thought of that monster being with that child makes me crazy.

Michael: I’m afraid I have to disagree.

Nikki: What do you mean?

Michael: About the monster part. For everybody’s sake, I’m hoping ashland defies the order.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Hey. Why are you still here? I thought victoria scraped you off of the bottom of her shoe.

Ashland: Beat it, phyllis.

Phyllis: Not beating it. I can be here.

Ashland: Yeah. Okay, fine. I admit I am not the guy who decides who comes and goes in this park. In fact, I don’t decide much of anything these days.

Phyllis: It must suck reaping what you sow.

Ashland: Boy, you really are enjoying gloating over my downfall, aren’t you?

Phyllis: I am.

Ashland: Oh.

Phyllis: I actually am. Yeah. What are you doing here? Honestly, I thought victoria got rid of you. And I’m really impressed with her. Maybe I’ll give her a party at the grand phoenix for getting rid of you professionally and personally.

Ashland: That is a fantastic idea. You should get on that right now.

Phyllis: I will.

Ashland: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: Are you waiting for someone? You’re waiting for someone.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: You’re — you’re looking for harrison? Is that what you’re doing? Wow. Kyle and summer have a restraining order on you. You’re not thinking of violating it, are you?

[ Knock on door ]

Nate: Morning, lily.

Lily: Hey, how’s it going?

Nate: Can’t complain. And you?

Lily: I’m good. Oh. How’s elena doing in hawaii?

Nate: Oh, you know what? Her talk was a big hit, and she seems to be fitting in some r&R.

Lily: Oh, good, I’m glad. She’s so hardworking. She really deserves it.

Nate: Let me show you. Here’s some proof.

[ Chuckles ]

Lily: Oh, my god. Is that her snorkeling?

Nate: Yeah, testing out the limits of her waterproof smartphone.

Lily: Wow. She’s way braver than I am.

[ Chuckles ]

Nate: And here she is at dawn at the top of haleakala.

Lily: Wow, that is so beautiful.

Imani: Lily, hey, were you able to — oh, I am so sorry. I hope I’m not interrupting.

Lily: No, no, he’s just showing me pictures of elena in hawaii. We’re very jealous right now.

Imani: Oh, may I see?

Nate: Yeah, sure. I was just telling lily elena has been getting in some sightseeing.

Imani: Wow.

Nate: Oh, and apparently a couple of the panelists got together and went to a luau in lahaina.

Imani: Hmm. Looks like elena is having so much fun. Not a care in the world.

Lily: Well, I’m sure she misses you, nate. And I’m really sorry that you had to miss the trip because of work. I know you miss her, too.

Nate: Big time.

Imani: Well, I, for one, am glad he stayed. He was a huge help to me last night.

Lily: Oh. What happened last night?

Chelsea: Hey. Thank you both for coming to meet me.

Summer: Of course.

Kyle: I assume you want to discuss our proposal to have you design at marchetti.

Summer: I hope that we can sort out the details quickly because I cannot wait to dive into the creative with you.

Chelsea: Just slow down one second, because I have to get this out. I am — I am so grateful for the opportunity and for the fact that you both have faith in me.

Summer: That’s not sounding good.

Chelsea: I’ve already spoken to lauren about walking away from fenmore’s and designing, so I had to let you know… I’m afraid I won’t be able to take you up on your incredible offer. Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

Additional sponsorship

provided by… my blood pressure is borderline.

Summer: Is there anything we can do to change your mind? I mean, if this is about money or creative freedom, I’m sure that we can work out something to make it more appealing to you.

Chelsea: It’s not about either one of those things. I am taking a sabbatical from my career for personal reasons.

Kyle: I hope everything’s okay.

Chelsea: The truth is, I’ve come to realize and accept that I jumped into a way too stressful environment way too quickly. You know, after everything I’ve been through, it’s one thing to go back to work at a, you know, fashion platform that was up and running. But the truth of the matter is, it was with adam, you know? So then suddenly he’s my boss, he’s my ex, we were co-parenting. It was — it was just too much.

Summer: I thought that that was part of the reason you were happy at fenmore’S. No adam drama.

Chelsea: Well, that definitely helped. Yeah, but chloe and I had committed to doing a new line and delivering it in record time. I thought that would be a great challenge for me, you know, a good distraction. But the truth is, the chaos and the pace of the job really caught up to me. And I started ignoring issues I was having personally, issues that I had to deal with that were not going to go away on their own.

Summer: That sounds like a major epiphany.

Chelsea: It was. And I’m just glad I had it before I destroyed my friendship with chloe. Bottom line, I wasn’t ready to jump back into my career as quickly as I thought I was. It was just too much, too soon.

Kyle: Well, I can’t say I’m not disappointed.

Summer: Yeah, me too. I was really looking forward to a strong collaboration with you. But, I mean, we understand if you need to take some time to yourself.

Kyle: Definitely.

Summer: Just know that the offer still stands if and when you ever want to jump back in.

Chelsea: Thank you, summer. I really appreciate that. It’s very generous.

Summer: In the meantime, if there’s anything at all that we can do to help, just let us know.

Chelsea: Actually, I already have something that’s gonna keep me busy.

Nikki: Why on earth would you want ashland to defy his restraining order?

Michael: It is part of the contingency plan victor and i came up with to deal with the man. We assume that he’s going to act true to form and try to see harrison, and when he does, we’ll have him arrested on the spot.

Nikki: Hmm. How are you gonna make that happen? Sounds like there’s a lot of moving parts there.

Michael: I asked diane to help with the setup.

Nikki: Are you kidding me? That is a terrible idea.

Michael: Why? Because you don’t like her?

Nikki: Well, there is that. But more importantly, she’s not trustworthy. How can you put that child at risk?

Michael: Diane is harrison’s grandmother. She would never do anything to put him in any kind of jeopardy, which makes her the perfect person to recruit for this. Diane will protect her grandson at all costs.

Nikki: You have lost all perspective if you think diane has one protective bone in her body.

Ashland: Who appointed you the town police? I’m not up to anything. I’m just the guy taking a walk in the park. You said it yourself. This is a public park. And like you, I have every right to be here.

Phyllis: But everybody hates you, so why are you here still? Why? I know about your cancer charade, by the way. Anyone who listens to “the grinning soul” knows about it. How low do you have to go to execute a plan like that? I just want to know.

Ashland: I find it ironic that so many people in this town with sordid pasts feel they have the right to judge me. This — this is a town chock full of hypocrites. So what if I want to catch a glimpse of my son from a distance? Why is that a terrible thing?

Phyllis: Because you have a restraining order, and I will call harrison’s parents so quickly and the police, if you violate it.

Ashland: You’re all heart, phyllis.

Phyllis: You know, some people cross so many lines from which they can never return. You know that? I put you in that category and I also put diane jenkins, harrison’s grandma, in that category.

Ashland: You people have no mercy. Diane and I simply want the opportunity to have a relationship with that sweet young kid. Why is that a heinous crime?

Phyllis: First of all, I’m not going to discuss diane’s villainy with you. And look at you, you’re spinning out. You’re like a caged animal, ashland. I know how dangerous that is. Trust me.

Harrison: Father!

Ashland: Harrison. Come here. Come here. Oh. I have missed you so much.

[ Chuckles ]

Michael: This is all academic anyway. When I asked diane to help out with the ashland situation, she turned me down flat. The last thing she wants is to alienate kyle.

Nikki: Really? Hmm, she’s thinking with her head for a change. Will wonders never cease.

Michael: Nikki.

Nikki: Frankly, I would prefer that ashland and diane each decide to leave town on their own. But clearly, they need a little push. Maybe my new investigator will come up with something on diane very soon.

Michael: [ Chuckles ] I still haven’t forgiven you for firing me.

Nikki: Well, you have victor to thank for that. He’s the one that convinced me that you would not be suitable.

Michael: No. Victor loves me.

Nikki: And then there is that minor matter of a conflict of interest, seeing as you befriended that woman for some bizarre reason.

Michael: Even though you booted me off the investigation into her past, the pr firm i hired in los angeles did uncover something about diane before I could call them off the case. Care to know what they learned?

Nate: Imani and I was supposed to have dinner with sally spectra. We were hoping to discuss a way to get elena out of her contract with newman media so she can join us here at chancellor, for our own medical podcast.

Lily: Yeah, I really hope that we can make that work, because aside from needing more podcasts, to have the former face of askmdnow back here would be a huge win. But I assumed amanda could get anyone out of a contract. So is there a problem?

Imani: Well, I’ve been handling it since amanda’s been caught up with our mother since her stroke. But I assure you, I am more than capable of covering this legal negotiation.

Nate: Sally backed out at the last minute, so we weren’t able to broach the subject.

Lily: Okay, so what happened last night? How were you hopeful?

Imani: Well, I was freaking out because I just found out my mom had a seizure, and nate was kind enough to stay and peel me off the ceiling, even though our business meeting was canceled.

Nate: Mostly, I lent a sympathetic ear.

Imani: Sympathetic and compassionate. You eased my concerns more than you know. I stayed up all night researching that rehab center you told me about that’s in virginia, and I think it’s exactly what my mom needs. Now, if I could convince my dad and amanda to consider it, that would be great.

Ashland: My gosh, just look at you. Is it possible you’ve grown like a foot since the last time I saw you?

Harrison: Maybe.

Ashland: Oh, then that means I’ve been away for way too long. I-I — I’m so sorry that we haven’t been able to spend more time together.

Harrison: I miss you, father.

Ashland: I miss you too, son. I’ve just been… I’ve been traveling. I’ve been very busy.

Harrison: With work?

Ashland: Yeah. Yeah. And I may have to leave again soon, so I’m really glad that I’m seeing you right now.

Diane: Why on earth wouldn’t you want me to keep harrison away from ashland?

Michael: For one very good reason — if you were to accidentally slip up and allow ashland to go ahead and visit with harrison, we could catch him violating the restraining order. He may even see time in jail.

Diane: Whose idea was this?! Victor’s? Because it sounds like something he’d think up. Michael, I think it’s unconscionable that you would use that man’s love for his child against him.

Michael: Well, it’s a preemptive move to keep him away from victoria. The family would appreciate your cooperation.

Diane: Oh, please.

Michael: And nikki might even be prevailed upon to drop her investigation into your past.

Ashland: Listen, listen. How about if we go over there and I’m going to buy you an italian ice from that cart? How would that be? I think they might have raspberry, which I happen to know is your favorite flavor. And then I want to hear about all the fantastic things that have been happening in your life since the last time we saw each other, okay? I mean, assuming, of course, we have time.

Diane: Well, why don’t — why don’t I go by the italian ice and you can sit on the bench and talk?

Ashland: Are you sure?

Diane: Positive.

Ashland: Thank you, diane. I really appreciate it.

Diane: Enjoy your time with your son. Harrison, harrison, listen, I’m gonna be right over there at that cart, so I will be watching you the whole time. Be good, okay? I won’t let you out of my sight for a second. Okay? Want your clothes to smell freshly

Nikki: Michael, of course I want to know what your investigator found, so stop being coy.

Michael: Very well. As I myself predicted before I was so unceremoniously dumped from the case, the pr firm couldn’t find so much as a traffic ticket for diane jenkins or taylor jenson as she called herself there. Her record is pristine for the entire time she lived in los angeles.

Nikki: Hmm. Well, you forgot to add “so there.”

Michael: It’ll be on my bill.

[ Chuckles ]

Nikki: [ Sighs ] Of course I’m disappointed to hear that, but rather disturbed at how gleeful you are in passing that information on. Frankly, I think you’re gloating too soon.

Michael: Really?

Nikki: The fact that your investigators didn’t find anything in the short amount of time they looked doesn’t mean there’s nothing there. Knowing diane, it’s buried deep.

Michael: [ Chuckles ] So deep it doesn’t exist.

Nikki: Oh, my god. I was so right to dismiss you, since you were not willing to put the tenacity into finding the truth. I am telling you, diane is a master of covering her tracks. I mean, really, michael, for a man as savvy as you, how can you be taken in like this?

Michael: Do you mean to sit there and claim that in your entire life, you have never once needed forgiveness for anything?

Nikki: I have never don anything that sunk to the level of evil of what diane has wrought on my family and me.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Michael: Hold that thought. Ha.

Nikki: What? What is it?

Michael: It looks as if diane has made one step towards rectifying some of her so-called evil.

[ Chuckles ]

Ashland: Look at how perfect that — look at that. You know, I really wish I could spend more time with you. I really do, but I also know how much fun you’re having in that big, giant abbott house there and how much your father and your stepmom love you.

Harrison: And dee dee.

Ashland: Yes, and dee dee. She loves you, too. In fact, one of the things that makes it easier for me to be away from you so much is knowing that you’re around people who love you and will play with you and take care of you. Like dee dee

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Laughs ] Ooh, you got a big one that time. Let’s see. You think so?

Harrison: It’s dark. The light ones are easy. The dark ones are hard.

Ashland: Yeah.

Harrison: But if they’re really light, they’re really hard to see.

Chelsea: Do you want to tell them the news or should I?

Billy: Go ahead.

Chelsea: Billy has asked me to consult on his podcast.

Summer: Wow. That’s — that’s not what I was expecting you to say.

Chelsea: It’s a real kicker, right? It’s totally out of the ordinary, yet still creative. I mean, you couldn’t get further away from the fashion world.

Billy: Are you calling me unfashionable?

Chelsea: No.

Kyle: It’s definitely a twist. We were just getting used to the idea that billy had become a podcast host.

Billy: Yeah, I know. I’m the last person you’d expect to be a self-help guru. I get it. Listen, before I forget, congratulations on making it home and bringing marchetti with you under the jabot umbrella. Fantastic work. I know jack is thrilled to have you and harrison back on home turf.

Kyle: Those two, it’s cute. I’ll come down for breakfast, and they’ve been up for an hour playing games and making pancakes.

Summer: [ Laughs ]

Chelsea: Really adorable.

Billy: Yeah, well, he was missing his grandson like crazy. I’m sure it’s the same with phyllis. She’s happy to have you home from italy.

Summer: For sure. She’s all smiles.

Kyle: Yeah, she’s happy we’re here. Not so much that my mother’s in our lives.

Billy: I can imagine that. But you know me, I’m pulling for diane. As someone who’s had a handful of second chances, I hope that she redeems herself. It’s not going to be easy in this town. She’s got a lot of enemies.

Kyle: They’re judgmental, alright. They have long memories.

Billy: On the flip side, probably not easy for phyllis either. Diane put her through the ringer back in the day. And now you two are stuck in the middle of your two mothers. Not so fun. Believe me, I get it. I have some experience with a mother who’s got a reputation for being difficult.

Summer: I’m impressed. You’re able to see it from all sides and empathize with everyone.

Billy: Yeah, it’s very mature of me, isn’t it?

Kyle: Yeah, it really is.

Billy: Well, sure took me long enough.

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Kyle: We got to go.

Billy: Is everything okay?

Chelsea: Is something wrong?

Kyle: Sure as hell hope not. If you have age-related macular degeneration,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Lily: In-patient rehab is a big step. So, I mean, what’s the plan now?

Imani: The plan was for her to have in-home care when she was released from the hospital. That’s what we thought she would want, but now it appears she may need a lot more highly skilled therapy than we realized. Nate helped me to understand this is going to be a long process.

Lily: Wow. I’m really sorry.

Imani: Yeah, and once they realized how serious of a setback this is, amanda and devon ended up spending the night.

Lily: Oh, okay. When was last time you talked to them?

Imani: Well, my dad called this morning, and I had him put amanda on the phone to tell them about the rehab center in virginia and try to get them to at least consider it.

Lily: Think they will?

Imani: It’s hard to say. Amanda’s worried that mom won’t like the idea, and my dad believes that she’ll be more comfortable at home.

Nate: In the short-term, perhaps, but if she wants any reasonable hope of getting her life back…

Imani: Yeah, and after reading up on the place and everything they do, I think she could really benefit from a stay there. She’s going to have to relearn a lot of basics, I’m afraid.

Nate: In all likelihood, she’s going to need intense physical therapy, speech therapy.

Imani: And an aide coming to the house a few days a week, that’s just not going to cut it. But my mom can be stubborn at times, and this place, they have a very strict schedule for the rehab patients, so that could be a conflict.

Lily: I’m really sorry. I know these decisions are really hard and complicated to make.

Imani: Thank you.

Nate: Hey, I offered a suggestion, but everyone has to be on board with it, starting with the patient.

Imani: Well, I feel in my heart this is what’s right for her. Maybe this is my role — to help my dad and amanda see that. I gave them the paperwork, and I’m going to let them review it and I’ll talk to them later about it.

Nate: If they have any questions, I’ll be more than happy to try and answer them.

Imani: That is so lovely of you, nate. Thank you.

Nate: You’re welcome.

Imani: And even if this facility is something we can agree on, just having you there to talk to last night, that really lifted me up.

Nate: Glad I can be useful. Well, the day is young and I have a full inbox. I will see you ladies later.

Imani: Oh, you know what? I should head out, too.

Lily: Oh, imani, actually, can we chat for a second?

Chelsea: Well, I am so excited about this. I could hardly sleep last night. I have so many fun ideas for your podcast.

Billy: Okay, stop right there. It is not my podcast. It is our podcast. You are the co-host.

Chelsea: Okay.

Billy: And enough about this whole consulting thing, alright? Because the only way this works is if we don’t pull any punches. Got it?

Chelsea: Thank you for clarifying.

Billy: Good.

Chelsea: Gosh, it’s just so energizing. You know, it’s such a drastic change of direction for me.

Billy: I hope by drastic, you mean that in a good way.

Chelsea: Of course. No, my instincts are telling me this is exactly what I need.

Billy: And so giving me grief about my take on the world is life affirming for you. Good to know. The choices I’ve been making. You know, I thought I was going in the right direction creatively with my designs, but really I’m just treading water, you know? No wonder chloe was so worried about me. I was so focused on just being back, bringing my a-game, that suddenly it became more about quantity versus quality.

Billy: That’s never a good thing.

Chelsea: I was stuck, you know? I was doing the same thing over and over. Nothing new, nothing fresh was coming to me. So I started procrastinating and I started missing deadlines. Chloe started going bonkers. It really took a strain on our friendship.

Billy: I’m sorry to hear that.

Chelsea: But you know what? Now that I’ve realized all this, it’s been like an awakening. You know, you don’t realize how& good it feels just to let go. To say to the universe, “I surrender.” To just be honest with myself and the world about what it takes to plot a new course.

Billy: I’m very happy to hear you say that, because I had a very similar moment when I decided to go forward with this podcast.

Chelsea: So what are we waiting for? When do we start?

Imani: What did you want to discuss?

Lily: Well, I just wanted to apologize for making you feel pressured about elena’s contract. I don’t want you to think it has to be resolved by some, you know, arbitrary deadline. I mean, we have staff attorneys that can deal with that. So I know that you and amanda are going through a lot right now, and I just want to make sure that chancellor-winters always puts family first.

Imani: Well, there’s no need to apologize, lily. I assure you, I can handle both the workload and my mom’s situation. There’s bound to be ups and downs after my mom’s stroke. And nate caught me at a down moment, and he helped me come to grips with that. I’m so grateful for his kindness.

Lily: Well, good. Well, look, I mean, if you need time off to go be with your family, please do it, honestly, because sometimes these things are easier to work out in person than over the phone.

Imani: I appreciate that. Given the circumstances, I think it’s better for us to divide and conquer right now. Let amanda handle things in person while I take care of things from a distance and pick up the slack here at work, because, quite frankly, all the tension is causing some stress between my sister and me. There are times, I wonder…

Billy: Okay, so this is it. Pretty straightforward. Two chairs, two microphones, and a computer.

Chelsea: I’ll have to learn this equipment.

Billy: Oh, you’re gonna be fine. Why don’t you go ahead and sit there? I’ll sit here just in case i need to do any of the controls.

Chelsea: Sounds good.

Billy: So what do you think? What’s going on? Any thoughts, any ideas come to mind?

Chelsea: Actually, yes. What really struck me last night was this idea.

Billy: Let’s hear it.

Chelsea: Comparing my past to yours.

Billy: Okay.

Chelsea: The con artist and the gambler. Who wouldn’t be intrigued by the story of a long con or a high-stakes poker game?

Billy: Okay, so you want our listeners to be able to live vicariously through our scandalous pasts?

Chelsea: Oh, well, yeah, i mean, a little bit of that, but it’s more about getting past the layer of salaciousness, you know, no superficial entertainment layer, something deeper. The notion that we are all just human beings living a competitive world. You know, sometimes bluffing our way to the top, and sometimes that takes risks. It takes cheating. Both are about winning. Just not fair and square.

Billy: And so a life of addiction and crime is actually easier to get ahead.

Chelsea: No, that’s not what I’m saying. That’s my whole point. I just think of myself back in the day, you know, I had the mindset of identifying someone else’s weaknesses and preying on them. You know, people think that that’s going to make it easier to get to the top, but, really, that’s just a mirage. They think they’ll only have to do half the work, but really it just makes them spiral into a pit. They just dig themselves deeper and deeper into misery and despair.

Billy: So you think we can use our stories, our past to — to find a deeper truth?

Chelsea: Absolutely. Absolutely. But we have to be honest about our past, what we’ve done, and how we’ve grown, how we’ve changed. I think the key is — and you mentioned this earlier — we can’t let each other off the hook. You know, we can’t let each other gloss over any missteps or make excuses. We have to call each other out. Because who better to know when a con artist or a gambler is cheating —

Billy: Than a former gambler and con artist. Yeah, no, I get that.

Chelsea: Seems like you’re still skeptical.

Billy: No, it’s good. I’m just wrapping my head around it. I think what I hear you saying is it takes one to know one. Is that the vibe?

Chelsea: Exactly. Because think about it — no one has a crazier history than the two of us. The listeners are going to eat it up.

Imani: I am so relieved you and my dad were able to mom to go. This is the best possible choice for her, you know? Yeah, I’m glad we could agree on this, amanda. No, how about we check in about work later? Yeah, everything’s okay. I got this. In fact, lily said you could take whatever time you need to help mom make the transition. Okay. Alright. I’ll talk to you later. Give mom and my dad my love. Okay. Alright, bye.

[ Sighs ]

Nate: Hey, imani. I’m sorry. I couldn’t help overhearing. Was — was that amanda?

Imani: Yeah.

Nate: Is everything okay?

Imani: It’s better than okay. We’ve all decided that mom, she goes to the rehab place in virginia.

Nate: Okay. I hope I didn’t push you in a direction you weren’t comfortable with. With the facility out of state, it’s — it’s got to be a tough call.

Imani: Not in this case. I feel strongly that this is what’s right for her. I gave them the information and some time to process it all, and they came up with their own conclusion that this is what’s best for her.

Nate: Yeah, it’ll benefit naya to have full-time care from professionals who specialize in stroke recovery. You did your family a good service right here.

Imani: Thank you for saying that. This whole situation is just — it’s tough. I know I should feel relieved, but I’m just so scared.

Nate: Hey, none of this is easy, okay? It’s gonna be okay. With depression, you just feel…blah.

Ashland: That sounds like the most fantastic race car I’ve ever heard of. Did you say it was yellow? Oh, man. And do you have a track for that car? Is there, like, little houses and little buildings and — and roads and bridges and —

Nikki: Oh, my god, what is he doing with him?

Michael: Nikki, the police will be here any minute.

Ashland: Man, you’re lucky.

Chelsea: I’m sensing some ambivalence. You don’t like my idea?

Billy: No, I love the idea. I do. It’s just —

Chelsea: Uh-oh.

Billy: No, it’s not a bad thing. I think I just have to remind you that people are going to hear this, you know, and you might not want everyone to hear it. For instance, connor. I thought long and hard about johnny and katie, and I went over this extensively with lily before I even put out the first episode.

Chelsea: Well, I have thought about it, and the truth of the matter is, everyone in this town already knows my history. And as far as connor goes, I’ve told him everything. I had no choice. I had to because we went to see anita.

Billy: Oh, my gosh. Are you kidding me? What, was she reliving the old days?

Chelsea: Yeah. Every chance she got.

Billy: In front of your son?

Chelsea: Oh, the woman has no shame. She spent hours regaling to my child every story of every scam.

Billy: That sounds lovely.

Chelsea: It was horrifying. It really was. Anita kept telling me that I was being an “uptight goody two shoes,” pand I needed to lighten up a little bit.

Billy: No cooperation there.

Chelsea: Oh, zero. But — but I decided to turn the situation around and use it as a teaching moment for myself.

Billy: Okay. How so?

Chelsea: Well, I just told connor. I was like, you know, “people have skeletons in their closet. It does not define them for the rest of their lives. You can turn things around and you can be a good person and make better choices.” And I also made sure I didn’t glamorize the things I did with anita. I told him I hurt people. I caused people pain. And I’m not proud of that.

Billy: Good job. Way to go.

Chelsea: That’s kind of what I’m hoping we can say to the world with our podcast.

Billy: In a fun, exciting, non-dour way, of course.

Chelsea: Exactly.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Billy: Let me take this real quick.

Chelsea: Of course. Please.

Billy: Hey, babe.

Lily: Hey. Where are you?

Billy: I am in the studio with chelsea, just spitballing some ideas.

Lily: Oh, nice. How’s it going?

Billy: It’s going fantastic. Thank you.

Lily: Good, I’m glad. Look, don’t forget to schedule that meeting with the vp of purchasing at amalgamated. You said that you would take that off my plate.

Billy: Got it. No worries.

Lily: Okay. Thank you.

Billy: Alright, we’re wrapping up. I love you.

Lily: Love you, too. Oh, actually, before I forget, I just want to — billy?

Chelsea: So? My concept is go?

Billy: I think we’re a go. Yeah, I think it’s great.

Chelsea: Yes. I’m so excited. I’m even more excited than before. I didn’t know that was possible.

Billy: That’s good. Good. Energy, excitement, sincerity — those are things that you cannot fake. Scratch that. You can fake them. But an astute audience is going to know the difference and they will disengage, which is the kiss of death when you’re podcasting.

Chelsea: Good to know. Okay, well, I should let you go. You have another job, right? As a coo.

Billy: I got time and we’re on a roll. I don’t want to lose any momentum.

Chelsea: What do you propose?

Billy: Let’s put one down. Let’s see what we got.

Ashland: Harrison, I have to go. I’m sorry. But dee dee has your italian ice. Can you give me one last hug? Come on. One big hug. Giant hug. Oh-ee! Ah.

Diane: Come on, harrison.

Ashland: You almost broke me in half there.

Diane: Come with me. Come on.

Ashland: Oh.

Kyle: Hey, where the hell do you think you’re going? And where’s my son?

Next week on “the young and the restless”…

Adam: You are standing between me and everything that I want.

Nikki: If we all pooled our talents.

Ashley: Maybe we can get diane out of our lives.

Phyllis: Forever this time.

Victor: No one breaks my daughter’s heart and gets away with it. No one!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ] Almost done. Well, then, I’m right on time. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, ashley. Olivia: Nina.

[ Gasps ] Yeah. Can I have a word with you for a minute? Oh. Sure. Care to tell me why you’re pumping my staff for information? I’m not “pumping” them for anything. I am familiarizing myself with the operations around here. Oh. Okay. Okay, look…

[ Chuckles ] You’ve had your fun, lording your half-ownership of the hotel over carly. It’s got to stop. Okay? Ned and I are prepared to write you a check for every penny you paid, plus 3%. Olivia, I’m not interested. Okay, fine. 5%. Not a penny more. You don’t get it, olivia. My half of the metro court is not for sale. Sonny: Why not, nina?

[ Dramatic music plays ] Oh, wyndemere’s private property. If we catch the launch, the guards will tip off esme that we’re coming. Right. What we need is someone who lives there to help us out.

[ Footsteps approaching ] Oh, hiya, gents. Going my way? Uh, we’re good, but… maybe you can help trina. Done. You don’t even know what we’re asking. Doesn’t matter. Whatever it is, if it’s for trina, I’m in. You have to use this, trina. I mean, this could be a real game-changer. What could be a game-changer? New evidence that could help trina’s case.

[ Door closes ] What is it, baby? Tell me, what’s the new evidence? Uh, get out, before I call security. I remember that high and mighty attitude, but I’d check myself before I call security. Security may lead to police. And something tells me the pcpd will be more interested in what I have to say about you than what you have to say about me. I can have a plane fueled and ready by this afternoon. Thank you. I appreciate that so much. I just can’t believe it, you know? How much can one family take? Grandmother? What’s wrong?

I just got a call from my mother in italy. Did something happen to great-grandmother lesley? Well, the house that she and marcello lived in on lake como burned down. Fortunately, no one was there at the time, so they’re unhurt. Thank god. Well, still, that’s terrible. Is there anything that I can do or…? There is something you can do. Actually, both of you. Name it.

[ Sighs ] Put my mind at ease. You both have been through an awful lot in the past year. Promise me that you two will be okay with each other if I go away. So, esme bought a black market phone from this bartender and she used it to record josslyn and cameron. And incriminate trina. We’ve tracked the bartender, oz haggerty, to wyndemere. They may be conspiring to cover their tracks as we speak. At wyndemere. Well, fellas, I’d love to stay and chat, but I got a witch to throw under a house. I have nothing to hide. From the police or anyone. Impressive. You managed that with a straight face. You and I both know the phone that I sold you is the same one you used to shoot your revenge porn. You can’t prove that. I don’t have to. That girl’s defense attorney will do it. Or at least use the info. What do you want?

[ Snapping fingers ] What else? Cash. Hey, hey, hey. You. Owe. Me. What I was telling you, mom. About how marshall and curtis are looking for the bartender that joss and i were tracking down. You know, the one that sold esme the phone. Oh. Oh, I-I thought — I thought you had some new information. Don’t worry, mom. I have faith that it’ll all work out. So do I.

[ Chuckles ] Faith is what we need. When all of our efforts are challenged or exhausted, what else do we have? Well, that’s a look. Yeah, I was going for “friendly neighborhood mover.” I can see it. I can see it. Yeah. Although, I’m out of a job, so I don’t know if I could afford you. Well, I’m pretty affordable, I got to tell you.

[ Laughs ] In fact, I’ll move all these boxes for the cost of lunch. That is affordable. Although, I hired actual movers, and they’re gonna be here any minute. What?! Yeah. Man! Outbid by the pros. That’s just wrong. I guess that means lunch is off, huh? Not necessarily. But we can’t go to the restaurant, ’cause I don’t have a tab there anymore. What do you say, um… the hot dog vendor at rice plaza? Carly. Hm? This is not a done deal. The metro court has a new owner. Can’t get more “done” than that. I’m just saying that nina’s offer is still on the table. You know that I turned her down. And you know why. Why wouldn’t you sell the hotel to ned and olivia? It sounds like the best solution for everyone. And whoever buys the hotel, that’s gonna be my new partner. I think I deserve some say in the matter. No, I think you’re misunderstanding me, olivia. I have no intention of selling my stake in the metro court to anyone. I’m your new partner.

My partner? Not on your life, lady. There’s no reason that this has to be hostile, olivia. You know, I realize that I need to learn a lot about the hospitality business, and I’d be really grateful if you would show me the ropes. So this is why you’ve been slithering all around my hotel, questioning my staff? Our. My. Our hotel. Are you hearing this? Yeah, every word. So, what are you gonna do about it? Nothing! He’s not gonna do anything about it. Because my business dealings are my affair, olivia.

[ Laughs ] Emphasis on “affair.” Running this hotel is between you and me. Wrong! It’s between you and me and our lawyers. And it’s gonna be a cold day in hell before you ever fill carly’s shoes. Professionally and personally. Ashley, I’ll be in my office. Don’t look at me. You brought this on yourself. I wouldn’t expect you to let nina gift you with your half of the hotel. Glad you’re listening. But you could accept it from me. No. No, I can’T. Because I got myself into this mess. I have to get myself out. Or not.

[ Sighs ] But either way, I don’t want to owe anyone. You know, I knew you were gonna be stubborn about this. But I had to give it a shot. Thank you. And if there is a silver lining, it’s knowing that I’m not in this alone. Not by a long shot. So, if I can’t buy half a hotel for you, will you at least let me carry a box? Yes. That I will allow. Yeah.

[ Both laugh ] I’ll be watching to see if any of those jurors looks at trina sideways. Oh, no. No, you won’T. Mnh-mnh. You won’t be stepping anywhere near that courtroom. Promise me you won’t say anything about spencer being at that cemetery. Not to anyone. Not yet. I’m sorry, trina. I can’T. I emailed my attorney in como. Yeah? They’ll put you in touch with a good real estate agent. You can help marcello and lesley figure out where they want to relocate, if they’d be happier in an apartment or if they want to be out in the country. I mean, for what my vote is worth, might not be a bad thing for them to be in town. You know what? You’re absolutely right. I-I will pass that along. What was it that you were gonna tell me earlier? Something about kevin and esme? Uh, it can wait. Okay. Handled. Deputy mayor will take the meeting.

[ Sighs ] Thank you. Could I have a word with you? Of course. Okay. Excuse me. Yeah. Kevin and esme? What’s that all about? Oh, esme’s application to the psych program at pcu. Her what? Uh, I take it she didn’t tell you? Well, there’s a lot that esme doesn’t tell me. But that changes today. I’ve always wondered about this place. People can’t connect us. Too late. They already have. I mean, come on. Did you really think I wouldn’t have an insurance policy?

[ Indistinct conversation ] I don’t have any money on me, but I can get it to you. Don’t try to play me. Meet me tonight. I’ll text a location. Esme: Wait. Who followed you to the motel? And what did they look like?

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Dramatic music plays ] Hi. Hi, avery. Yes. Yes. Tonight. Mm-hmm.

[ Laughs ] Oh, I look forward to it, too, honey. Um… yeah, cupcakes. Any flavor you like. Okay? Alright. I love you. Alright. Bye-bye. Bye!

If the authorities find outthat spencer left spring ridge, that could mean real prison for him. Pentonville. Admitting that I was with spencer at the cemetery the day that the video dropped probably won’t even help me, but it could definitely hurt him. But while you were tying yourself in knots deciding whether to save yourself by outing spencer as your alibi, consider this — spencer already knows that he’s your alibi. He has decided to stay silent. So, where is his compassion for you? I’m having major second thoughts about leaving right now. I mean, it’s just not the best time to be leaving port charles. But the recall was defeated. It’s over. Is it, though, really? I mean, there’s still a large group of people out there who are not happy with my job performance. Yes, but fortunately, cyrus lost his voting privileges. But the detractors who remain still have theirs. And even though I’ll be working remotely, they could easily spin my absence into a dereliction of duty. And look, there’s — t-trina’s trial starts today, elizabeth’s state of mind, and not to mention victor. Are you trying to talk yourself out of leaving? No. I know my mother needs me. Exactly, which is why a pillar of strength like yourself can’t carry the weight of the world on her own. So, we just have to be practical. First thing we do, we go home and we pack. Then we reschedule all of our appointments for next week. Then I call the bank, convert some currency. You call lesley and make sure that they don’t need us to bring anything. You have everything under control. It’s what I do. You’re amazing.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, my goodness, it amazes me how you can keep everyone’s needs in your mind.

[ Sighs ] I’m so lucky to have your love and support. Which is why, um… I hope you’ll understand — that you need me to stay here. Stella: I beg your pardon? Of course I’m attending trina’s trial! Think about it. A courtroom, a trial — it’s a very high-pressure situation and it’s not good for someone with your medical history. You know I love trina. She’s such an amazing young woman, and I feel like she’s family now. And we love you, too. And we love your support and we appreciate it. That’s why we would never forgive ourselves if anything ever happened to you.

[ Sighs ] Meaning I’m just supposed to sit back and do nothing? You can pray. But I don’t want you to worry. Because curtis, taggert, and marshall — they’re on it. Trial is nerve-racking. Yeah. That it is. So I really need these leads to pay off. Yeah. Yeah, I can see that.

[ Sighs ] I just don’t feel like I’m doing enough. Even if we get this guy to — to — to — to I.D. Esme as the buyer of the phone, there’s no guarantee that it’s gonna secure trina’s freedom. There’s no guarantees in life, son. I should know that better than anyone. Something the matter? You alone? I thought I heard voices. I was listening to a podcast. So, no one has ever told you that you shouldn’t paint your nails on the furniture? Nope. Well, you know, that doesn’t surprise me. Someone callous enough to destroy lives certainly doesn’t care about safeguarding fabric. Oh… how wrong you are, ava. I do appreciate what’s yours. In fact, I am so careful when I use your things… you’d never know. What the hell is that supposed to mean? What are those? Um, well, uh, they’re pictures. This is a box of, um, personal things that I don’t trust with the movers. So, uh, but they’re mostly just pictures of my kids through the years at the metro court. Mm. At the nurses’ ball and stuff. Look, josslyn and cam and… wow! They’re all so young. I know. There’s morgan. His face… hmm. I’m okay.

[ Chuckles ] You know, there’s just a lot of memories here. Just… do you remember when you hired me? New year’s eve many years ago. Oh, my god. I forgot about that. You’re right.

[ Laughs ] Bartender. Yeah. Bartender. Make a mean martini. I still do. You make a terrible martini! What do you mean?!

[ Laughs ] So talented. Gosh, our lives have changed so much since then, huh? I know. Lots of ups and downs, but… but we’re still here. And it doesn’t mean that change isn’t hard. I’m still working on that “letting go” thing. You know, I mean, especially here. I… I was good at this.

[ Chuckles ] And no matter what was going on in my life, I mean, the metro court was my constant.

[ Sighs ] Is that your way of telling me that I deserve the way olivia spoke to me? Nina. You got to be realistic. You had to know there was gonna be strong reactions to you keeping carly’s half of the metro court. My half, sonny.

My half. Right. And, yes, I knew there was gonna be resistance. Then — then why go through the hassle? Why not just give it to olivia and walk away? Power is the great equalizer, isn’t it? And I intend to keep mine. Not just for myself, but for wiley. One day, all of this is gonna be his. Is that all? Isn’t that enough? Well, I mean, you know, all this talk about power and wiley’s inheritance… is — is this just a business decision for you? Or is this a way to… stick it to carly?

Come on. Listen. You think all I want out of my life is revenge against your ex-wife?

[ Sighs ] You really believe that I am that petty? After everything that you and carly have been through, y-you’re gonna tell me that you don’t want just a little revenge? That’s not what this is about. Oh, okay. If that’s not what this is about, let’s drop it, then. No, we’re not gonna drop it, because you just accused me of being spiteful. I didn’t accuse you of doing anything. Let me just remind you of something, sonny. I bought this half of the hotel to give it back to carly. So instead of standing here scolding me, you should be lecturing your ex-wife about turning it down. Olivia: Hey. Hey. Wow. What’s this? I know you said not to make a fuss, but, uh, the staff insisted. We all wanted you to know how much that you would be missed. Olivia, if you make me cry… no, don’t cry. Don’t cry. I can take them back. No, don’t you dare take them back! Don’t you dare. They’re so beautiful. Oh, well… ohh! Thank the staff for me, please. You know, it’s not too late for a proper send-off. No. No fanfare. Okay. You know, I mean, the last box is almost packed, drew’s bringing the car around, and, um… this office is no longer mine. Well, it’ll never be hers. I don’t know if you know, but nina has decided to remain co-owner of the metro court. Of course she has. Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] She may have half of this hotel, but she will never have my loyalty. That belongs to you. First, last, and always. Even after I ruined our partnership? I would say that that honor goes to my ever-loving husband.

[ Both chuckle ] But…

[ Sighs ] If you think that I don’t appreciate everything we’ve been through here… I mean, you… you trusted me as your operations manager, and you backed me as your partner, and… and you loved me as your friend. I’m always gonna love you as my friend, and that’s never gonna change. And you’re making me cry. I told you not to make me cry. Me too.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Sighs ] You know, an arrest for a demonstration shouldn’t have, um… shouldn’t have resulted in being held against your will at an institution. Eh. Uh, don’t worry. I’m not gonna push. You don’t have to talk about it. You know, in the old neighborhood, there was this guy — bud. Bud the barber. Gave haircuts to anyone who — who couldn’t afford one. Kids from poor families, guys with — with job interviews, the homeless. Sounds like a good guy. Yeah, he was. He was respected. But then, suddenly, people… people started describing bud as “touched.” Every now and again, you’d see him… see him wandering around babbling to himself about some secret mission or — or aliens. When the bad days started to outnumber the good, nobody wanted to get their hair cut by bud anymore. Even for free.

[ Chuckles ] Hm. Yeah. Whatever happened to old bud? Well, I’ll — I’ll tell you what didn’t happen to him. Bud never got the help he needed. Being institutionalized, maybe it wasn’t ideal. Maybe it wasn’t even fair. But I got a diagnosis out of it. Some of us…

[ Chuckles ] Some of us weren’t even that lucky. Hopefully, they’ll get the bartender to admit to selling esme the phone. You just keep telling yourself that the truth is on trina’s side. But you and i both know, sometimes the truth isn’t enough. I want you to help me. But this is my trial and my future. Can you promise me that you’ll let me make the decision of when and if I tell diane about spencer? Joss. Please? I will stay silent. For now. If it looks like you’re gonna be convicted, I will stand up in my seat and I will tell everybody in that courtroom exactly where you were when that email hit those inboxes at pcu. Even if it means that you will never speak to me again. I’m sorry. That came out all wrong. Of course I respect what’s yours, ava. You respect nothing. Now, let’s get to it, shall we? Something on your mind? Yeah. Trina. It is incredible how many heads that girl lives in rent-free. I’m so glad that you mentioned free rent. How would you like to go the rest of your life without ever worrying about a roof over your head? In exchange for…? Your admission that you filmed that video and framed trina. But I didn’T. Okay. But if you agreed that you did, you wouldn’t have to spend a single day behind bars. You’d just have to sign a confession and then get yourself a ticket anywhere. Anywhere but here. Gee, what’s the catch? There is no way you’d be content with letting me evade justice.

If I said I did it. I’d be willing to forgo justice in this instance. I care about the greater good. And make no mistake. Trina is greater than you in every way. So, esme… what’s the magic number that’ll make you do the right thing? I worry that nikolas and spencer are still vulnerable to… to victor’s influence. And then, elizabeth needs you, and you’re one of the few people who can actually keep esme in check. Say no more. If it gives you peace of mind, I’ll stay put. I adore you. I adore you back. It’s a good deal.

[ Both laugh ] Okay, we’re heading back to wyndemere. I’ll call you with the flight details. Let me know when you’re ready. Oh, my goodness. Thank you so much for coming through for me. And you — you remember your promise to me, okay? Don’t worry, grandmother. I haven’t forgotten. Safe travels. Okay? Okay. Thank you. Why do I have the feeling that I shouldn’t go? You’re getting on that plane. And we’ll all be here when you come back.

Do you really thinkI’d stop talking to my bestie because you’re trying to save my life? Well, you’d better not, because you’re my bestie, too.

[ Both chuckle ] Stella: I’m not naive, portia. I’ve lived in this world long enough to know how elusive justice can be for people who look like trina. And I know it’s been two steps forward and one step back. But I still choose to have hope. Because not to is to fall into despair, and I don’t want to live there. It’s still a fight, but I have seen some forward motion. And I have to believe that today, in 2022, that arc will bend the right way, toward our girl. Well, I pray that you’re right. Oh, you don’t know how hard I pray. Not only for my daughter to be — to be vindicated… but to take away this anger — no. No, no, no, this hatred that I have for that girl that did this to my baby. I don’t want to walk around with this bitterness, stella. But I’ve been sitting on it because trina has so much to handle. But I know in my bones that this is more than jealousy over trina and spencer’s friendship. What are you saying? That girl targeted trina because she’s black? Esme was intimidated by spencer and trina’s relationship, but she felt the same way about josslyn. And trina told me that she went after josslyn harder than she ever did her. But who did esme ultimately target? That video was of josslyn and cam, though. Yes. Yes, they were the victims. And trina was framed as the criminal. To face the criminal justice system. In the midst of everything that’s been going on in this world, in this country,

everywhere, esme had to know the ramifications of that kind of an action. That trina would have a harder time with it. People can pretend that it’s not real, but that — that’s exactly what they’re doing. They’re pretending. I know that, baby, but there are good people with good hearts out there. And I am clinging to the hope that eyes are opening and the world is wising up. But not everyone wants to wise up with it. And I’m praying to god that they didn’t get past diane miller and aren’t sitting in that jury and passing judgment on my daughter — my innocent baby girl, who didn’t do any of this. She didn’t do anything wrong.

[ Voice breaking ] And… I feel like I didn’t prepare her for this. I didn’t prepare her for any of this.

[ Crying ] I just feel like… I just feel like I failed her, you know? Oh, baby.

[ Sobs ] Ava, I just saw spencer and nikolas get on the launch to wyndemere. Just giving you a heads-up. Call me. Son. Son, relax. How are you so calm? Antipsychotics?

[ Chuckles ] Look, I’m glad you didn’t fall through the cracks like bud.

[ Sighs ] Were your symptoms as severe as his? No, no. I didn’t have delusions. I didn’t have any hallucinations or problems thinking. I-I was prescribed treatment and meds. And if I hadn’t, well, then who knows, but… wait, wait, wait. Are — are you saying that your arrest saved your life? Well, I-I’m not saying it brought doom upon me. But, uh… I don’t know, curtis. I’ve had a long, long time to come to peace with it. Besides, there’s nothing that I can do about it now, anyway. Yeah. Thanks for talking to me about it. Sure. You know what? There’s something about this pier. T-this is where we had our last breakthrough, isn’t it? Pier or no pier… I appreciate you. And I’m really glad for the progress. Now, if we could just make some more progress and help trina. I hear that. I wonder why we haven’t heard from ava. What a hypocrite you are! Here you stand, trying to get me to admit something I didn’t do. Oh, come on. Don’t play a player. You are unreal. Why would you risk everything for an employee? You know very well that trina is much more than that to me. Little miss perfect inspires such unwavering loyalty. Well, I’m counting on you to be as opportunistic as you are bitter. Tick tock, esme. Trial’s about to start. So, what’s your number? Or shall I throw one out there to get the ball rolling? As someone who has lost their fair share of family, allow me to extend my condolences. You’re about to lose trina for 5 to 10 years. You insufferable little bitch. I have finally found my family here, and all the money in the world wouldn’t make me give that up. There is nothing you could offer to make me! Just what are you offering? Nina, I don’t think you’re spiteful. I just… look, when word reaches carly… she’s going through a tough time right now, trying to — do you even — do you even hear yourself, sonny? You’re more concerned about carly than me. That’s not true. I’m here with you right now. Right? Am I? Oh, physically. But who’s on your mind? Come on. No! Before you got a divorce, you said that carly complained that there was three of us in the relationship. Yeah. Right. I’m not so sure she was wrong.

[ Exhales sharply ] Wow. Ah. Those are so beautiful. Yeah. Mm. Your staff really loves you. Feeling’s mutual. It’s crazy, you know? I-I-I did not set out to own a hotel. And I really came to love the — the daily challenges, you know? All the strategizing, putting out the fires. Real ones sometimes.

[ Both laugh ] The weddings, the nurses’ ball… I mean, so many incredible memories here. I loved every minute. I’m gonna miss it a lot.

[ Exhales deeply ] You ready? I’m gonna need a minute. You know? You take as long as you need.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you. I’ll be right down. Okay. Take your time.

[ Exhaling deeply ] Oh, wow.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Exhales, sniffles ]

[ Switch clicks ]

What did father and I walk in on? Oh, more of ava’s wild accusations. She actually offered me money to confess to filming joss and cam. Really? How much? Not enough to get me to lie. I’m innocent. Yeah. It’s too bad for ava. She may have had a chance if she knew what you truly wanted. Like me. And that is…? Well, it’s something that you want more than anything else in the world. And only I can give it to you. I know you want to help trina, but is it worth it getting into it with esme? Yes. Let me act as a buffer. Just try to avoid being alone with her. Not to worry. Esme will be out of our lives very soon.

[ Ringing ] Ava. Did you catch the bartender making a deal with esme? I know it happened, but unfortunately, I missed it. He was gone before I arrived. How could he be gone? The launch never returned.

There’s another way

off the island. Obviously esme knows about it. Okay. Thanks for trying. Good lor– we lost him? Okay. Alright. Alright. Now what? You did a wonderful job with trina. Why do you think you failed her? I don’t know. All I ever wanted to do was give trina the absolute best life that I possibly could. And being a doctor and her father in law enforcement, um, we were able to do that. And I was proud. So proud that I was able to give her a comfortable life and she grew up with this sense of security. But she lived a sheltered life. The friends she’s made, the — the schools that she went to, maybe it was a little bit too sheltered. I don’t know, maybe in my quest to give her this ideal life, I failed to inoculate her against the realities of being a woman of color in this world. Trina knows who she is. And she’s pretty savvy about the world. I-I-I know we want what’s best for our children, but it’s impossible to completely shield them from pain and injustice. Stop torturing yourself. Look, knowing trina, I can already see that you taught her what’s important. What’s that? To keep her head to the sky. The world gonna knock you down. But what matters is that you get back up, and you don’t stay down. And trina’s a fighter. And whatever life throws at her, our girl is gonna always get back up on her feet.

[ Sighs ] Sonny: Hey, carly. You okay? Was willow a twin? Nina is willow’s biological mother?

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Days of Our Lives logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Marlena: Hmm. 12 hours ago, the world absolutely knocked you down, and here you are, up and pretending like it didn’t even hurt.

Sami: Mom, u don’t have time for a therapy session with me today.

Marlena: Oh. “Kidnapper groom arrested at wedding.” I see you’re reading the “intruder,” talking about the worst night of your life. Is that a very good idea?

Sami: My other option was to stay in bed and cry into my pillow all day, so…

Marlena: Yeah. What I do know about you is, when you really get hurt, you’re able to build this wall all the way around yourself. You know what amazes me? That you even got up this morning and that you were even able to get yourself dressed.

Sami: I’m fine.

Marlena: I know you are.

Sami: It’s–it’s just…

[Sighs]

Marlena: It’s just that what?

Sami: When I slow down, when I stop and think about it for a second, I think I might cry, and I’m pretty sure if I start crying, I am not gonna be able to stop.

Lucas: You didn’t have to come.

Kate: I know I didn’T.

Lucas: Actually, I don’t want you here. I’ve put you through enough.

Kate: Okay, one of the perks of having a terrible mother is that you don’t have to worry about hurting her feelings.

Lucas: I mean it. I don’t want you to see me like this.

Kate: Okay. Well, I don’t want to see you like this either, and that’s why I have hired the best defense attorney in the midwest. And they are going to get you out of here because you are going to beat this.

Lucas: Not if I plead guilty.

Ej: Johnny’s not here.

Roman: I didn’t come to see him.

Ej: Uh-huh.

Roman: I came to see you.

[Knocking at door]

Brady: Where were you? I’ve been knocking for, like, five minutes.

Chloe: Hey. What are you doing here?

Brady: Well, I’m back in town. I wanted to see my girl.

Chloe: Well, you didn’t call me; I thought you were coming back tomorrow.

Brady: Well, this isn’t a very nice homecoming. You know, there was a time when you used to like…surprises. Chloe, what’s going on? There someone in the bathroom?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Ej: Would you like a coffee? Juice?

Roman: Oh, no. No, I’m good. Thank you.

Ej: Did you literally mean you came to see me? That usually implies to see and talk.

Roman: [Chuckles] This is not easy for me to say. I owe you an apology.

Ej: [Chuckles] It seems there really is a first time for everything.

Roman: I’m saying sorry. Maybe you could lose the smirk.

Ej: Oh, excuse me. I’m afraid I was a little taken aback. We are on new ground here.

Roman: Yeah, because I have never been wrong about you before, but I was wrong this time. I blamed you for kidnapping sami. And hell, I’m a cop. I should know better than to rush to judgment.

Ej: Samantha’s your daughter. I’m not always impartial about my children either, especially when someone does them harm.

Roman: I misjudged lucas even more than I did you.

Ej: I wouldn’t be too hard on you myself. He fooled everyone.

Roman: Not everyone.

Ej: Someone was on to him?

Roman: His mother.

Kate: This is no time for jokes, and that was in particularly bad taste.

Lucas: I’m not joking. I’m serious.

Kate: Lucas, if you plead guilty, you could go to prison for life.

Lucas: The punishment would fit the crime. I kidnapped sami, and I pinned it on an innocent man.

Kate: Okay, ej is a lot of things. Innocent isn’t one of them.

Lucas: No more, mom. No more.

Kate: What do you mean “no more”? No more what?

Lucas: No more covering for me. No more blaming my victims. No more cleaning up my messes. I did this on my own. I have to face the consequences, okay?

Marlena: Honey, we were all so wrong about lucas.

Sami: And you know what’s really awful? I mean, not just awful like “he kidnapped me” awful, ’cause that’s, you know, hall of fame awful, but also what’s awful is how I spent all night laying there in bed. I was only able to sleep for, like, ten minutes at a time because I was just–because I was just thinking about him.

Marlena: Of course you were.

Sami: And it wasn’t just what he did to me. Mom, I was thinking about all of it. Everything. I was… I was thinking about this one time when he and I–when we taught will how to dance. I was thinking about this other time where I tried to make cookies– and I bake just as well as you do– and he was helping me, and we made this–we made this big mess in my kitchen. And then one time, I got in a fight with the rude parents, these moms, and lucas was right there by my side. He was ready to get in a food fight with me ’cause he was my friend. And so, yeah. Yeah, last year, I was having trouble in my marriage, and I confided in him. I confided in lucas because he was my friend, because of everything that we have been through. And last night, he just– it’s like he blew it all up right in my face, you know? That’s what he did.

Marlena: Yeah. Sami. I know how upset you were, and I know that you came in at bride’s room and you threw your rings across the room and you– and you stormed out, and I’m– I’m wondering where you went.

Sami: I–I went to see ej.

Marlena: Mm. How was that?

Sami: Not great. He was…otherwise engaged.

Chloe: Yeah, brady, there is someone in there. It’s the person that I spent the night with. Do you want to knock down the door and fight them?

Brady: I don’t find this very funny.

Belle: I’m sorry to be such a nuisance.

Brady: Oh.

Belle: Oh, hey, brady.

Brady: Hi.

Chloe: Not even a little bit funny?

Kayla: Hey. You know, we can really hire somebody to put that together.

Steve: Waste of money. I’m almost done.

Kayla: Right.

Shawn: I think that he’s asleep. I don’t know. I don’t know whether or not i should leave him or what, so…

Kayla: Well, you know what? I brought some baby monitors, and that way, you can hear when he cries. And in fact, I put them all over the house, so there’s gonna be no getting away from him.

[Baby crying] Oh, there it is. I’ll go check on your son. Maybe you could help steve put this stroller together.

Steve: I don’t need any help.

Kayla: As he says through clenched teeth.

Steve: [Sighs] It might be easier if the manual wasn’t 1×2 centimeters. I mean, the stroller’s the size of a hummer, and the instructions are, what, smaller than a postage stamp.

Shawn: [Exhales sharply]

Steve: Aw, dude, come on. You got this.

Shawn: No, what I got is, I’ve got you and aunt kayla showing up and, you know, acting like this is normal and, you know, that this baby is a good thing, that he’s not what belle called him–like an obstacle. I can’t tell you how much this means to me.

Steve: Listen to me, buddy. That little baby in there, that’s bo’s grandson. Bo was kayla’s brother and my best friend in the whole world, so that means that little guy is stuck with us for life. And so are you.

Shawn: [Sighs] You want a beer?

Steve: It’s 9:00 in the morning!

Shawn: I mean, guys, they have beers when they put together strollers.

Steve: You make a good point. Like pulsing, electric shocks,

Kate: Okay, well, I’m not going to let you wallow in your guilt, as soothing as you seem to find it.

Lucas: You want me to just shrug off the fact that I kidnapped a woman and held her captive?

Kate: No, what I want you to do is think. Think about it. Focus and think.

Lucas: I am thinking about it. I’m thinking about what I’ve done and what kind of man I am.

Kate: Yeah. No, that’s not thinking. That’s wallowing. So, right now, this morning, I want you to think about someone other than yourself. How about your children?

Lucas: If I plead guilty, my children won’t have to worry about me. They won’t have to go through a horrible trial. They won’t have to read headlines about their loser, drunk father who kidnapped their mother.

Kate: If you plead–if you plead guilty to kidnapping, that will all but make chad’s case, just like that, and you’ll be charged with abigail’s murder. Do you think that’s gonna be good for your children, lucas?

Ej: Kate knew about lucas? How long has she known?

Roman: January 5th.

Ej: Blimey. That is quite early on the game, isn’t it?

Roman: Yep. She kept it all to herself until she found out it was all gonna come out anyway and there was nothing she could do to stop it.

Ej: Ah, and then she was really, really sorry.

Roman: She did say that, and I do believe her.

Ej: Yeah, that just must have been last night. And now, here you are, bright and early.

Roman: Like I said, I wanted to apologize.

Ej: And let it slip about kate.

Roman: No, no. No. No, that was not my intention. Not at all.

Ej: Well, finding out what lucas did to your daughter and that your best girl knew about it and said nothing– you can’t be expected to be discreet. You know, my father said that the bradys were just as fierce about their children as we dimeras are about ours, and anyone who hurt them must pay.

Roman: That’s what the justice system’s for, right?

Ej: Right.

Roman: And I’m trusting you won’t take the law into your own hands.

Ej: Well, roman, you know you can always trust me.

Roman: I mean it, ej. Do not take the law into your own hands with kate. I’ll see you later.

Marlena: That must have been so upsetting. I mean, ej is ej and I’m sure he believed that you were in the process of marrying lucas, so he probably thought it was all right to date someone else.

Sami: He wasn’t just dating someone else, mom. He was sleeping with someone else. And it wasn’t just someone. It was my sister.

Marlena: [Gasps] Oh, god.

Sami: It was belle– your perfect, little belle– and she was pleased as can be about it.

Marlena: I can’t believe that’s true.

Sami: She’s been looking for a moment like this her entire life, waiting for an opportunity to get back at me. She saw that ej was vulnerable, and she took it just to hurt me.

Marlena: No, sami, no.

Sami: Yes.

Marlena: No.

Sami: Yes, mom. She was hiding in the bathroom, but when she heard that I thought it was nicole and I was gonna just leave, that’s when she came out. Your perfect, little girl came out of that bathroom in ej’s robe on purpose so that I would know, so that I would see that it was her. That was the whole point.

Marlena: No.

Sami: Don’t defend her, mother. Please don’t make excuses for her to me right now.

Marlena: No, I– I’m just aching for her, and I’m aching for you. This shouldn’t happen to anybody–anybody– on their wedding day, but please don’t take your anger and your upset out on your sister because you won’t just be hurting her. You’ll be hurting yourself as well.

Sami: Right. That’s what I always do, isn’t it?

[Sighs]

Marlena: Honey, just take it easy. I’ll make us something to eat.

[Tense music]

Chloe: Yeah, that’s right. You got me, brady. When you and rachel were visiting tate, I took it to the next level with your sister.

Brady: Wow. Okay, that’s funny. That’s funny. So things didn’t work out at chez dimera? Was the service bad over there, or…

Chloe: Brady.

Brady: Did you finally realize that ej is an arrogant, selfish jerk?

Chloe: Brady, stop.

Brady: Or that he makes his father look like papa noel? Which? I’m sorry, what’s– hey, what happened?

Chloe: Um…

Brady: Belle.

Chloe: I think she doesn’t want to share with someone who’s being judgmental and self-righteous. Didn’t you just use the word “arrogant”?

Brady: Yeah, I’m sorry. Hey. Tink, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Just the thought of you being with that jerk pushes all my buttons.

Belle: Yeah, well, you don’t have to worry about that anymore.

Brady: No?

Belle: No. Boy, did I get my comeuppance.

Brady: I didn’t want that.

Belle: Mm-hmm. Yeah, well, I got it when sami found me in bed with ej. My asthma felt anything but normal.

Steve: I understand jan whacked you pretty good, huh? With an oar, right?

Shawn: Yeah, and belle whacked her back pretty good too.

Steve: Any word from search and rescue?

Shawn: No. Uh-huh. You know, jan hitting me wasn’t the worst thing that she did.

Steve: Hand me that wrench there, will you?

Shawn: She, uh– she pretended like she was holding the baby, and it was a sack of oranges, and then she just– she threw them at me.

Steve: Oh, dude.

Shawn: I mean, what kind of a person could do that? What kind of a person could even think of doing something like that? I mean, I know that jan’s crazy, but I mean, I thought that she loved the little guy. Just kind of proves that I don’t think that jan could love anything.

Steve: I’m sorry.

Shawn: No. No, it’s all right. It teaches me a lesson. Teaches me that if jan comes back, all right, she can’t be anywhere near my son. There’s no way I can let that happen. It’s just gonna be me and him.

Kayla: And steve and me. Your son is sleeping like an angel.

Shawn: Oh, thank you.

Kayla: You know, my little two cents in here. You know, when I first found out about tripp–I mean, I know it’s not the same, but it’s like I was kicked in the stomach. I think I was in kind of emotional shock, but over time, my resentment towards him turned into loving him like my own son. And I think, in the beginning, it was really because of my love for steve.

Shawn: Well, I’ve never stopped loving belle.

Kayla: And I don’t think that she stopped loving you.

Shawn: Yeah, I mean, that might be true. I mean, that’s what she says, but I don’t know. I think that she’s moved on.

Belle: So, sami– well, it was quite a tirade.

Brady: Ooh. No surprise there.

Belle: Yeah, but when she first saw that it was me– you know, before her defenses kicked in–she was so hurt. So she left, and then all of a sudden, ej took off after her. And I didn’t really know why, so I followed him, and from what he said to her, it was pretty obvious that he’s still in love with her.

Chloe: You didn’t tell me that part.

Belle: I already knew.

Brady: Well, sis, you might already know this too. She will retaliate. She’s not gonna keep it to herself.

Belle: Oh, my god.

Brady: Yeah.

Belle: Shawn. I owe it to him to tell him myself.

Brady: I hope she’s not too late.

Sami: Oh, there you are! I heard voices. You know you have your front door unlocked? I just came in.

Steve: Hey, sami.

Sami: Hi.

Steve: You all right?

Sami: Oh, you’re talking about my aborted wedding. Yes, well, I decided a little short-term humiliation was better than being married to my kidnapper. I’m sure you know all about it, right? It was in all the newspapers this morning.

Kayla: Sami, have you had any sleep?

Sami: It’s the story of my life. My mom’s a shrink, my aunt’s a doctor. Everybody knows my feelings better than I do.

Kayla: Well, you just seem a bit wired.

Sami: Yeah. Oh, yeah, definitely. You know, I’m sure there’s a big crash coming, which is why I came over here. I want to talk to you, shawn, before, you know, the inevitable meltdown.

Shawn: Me? What do you want to talk to me about?

Sami: Well, I’m guessing I’m the one who’s gonna have to break it to you that– well, your wife is sleeping with my ex-husband.

Kate: Okay, now you’re not going to have a lot of time with your attorney before the arraignment, so just plead not guilty now. Lucas, don’t burn your bridges before you even get started.

Lucas: I think I burned my bridges a long time ago.

Cop: Lucas horton? Time for your arraignment.

Kate: Okay, come on. There’s no need for that.

Lucas: Will you go home?

Kate: Okay, I need to be in the room when you talk to the lawyer.

Lucas: No, I’m gonna do this on my own! I told you that! Go!

Ej: Really, lucas? Is that any way to talk to your mother? After all, she was the one who made you the man you are today.

Lucas: Get me the hell out of here.

Ej: I’ll catch you later, lucas. You and I have a lot to talk about. Kate, what’s the rush? It’s almost as if you’re trying to avoid me.

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Kate: He told you, didn’t he? Roman told you.

Ej: He was very upset. He let it slip. Let it slip that you knew your worthless son kidnapped sami. Let it slip that you knew and said nothing as he framed me for it. Let it slip that you knew and said nothing as I went off to prison. Let it slip that you knew and said nothing as sami prepared to marry the little worm. Actually, he didn’t let slip that last part. I just figured that out for myself.

Kate: And you live high in a moral dungeon now, don’t you, having lived such a blameless life?

Ej: Ooh, you’re trapped, so you’ve come out swinging, kind of like butch and sundance. Remember what happened to them?

Kayla: Look, sami, I know that you’ve been through hell, but do you think, once in your life, you could think about somebody other than yourself? Shawn does not need this this morning.

Shawn: No, no, it’s okay.

Kayla: No, it’s not.

Shawn: I can’t unhear what was just said, so I might as well hear more. What happened?

Sami: Well, after my wedding blew up, after lucas confessed to what he had done, I went to see ej.

Kayla: You went to see ej?

Sami: Well, yeah, aunt kayla. He was accused of kidnapping me, so when lucas confessed to committing the crime, I thought he should know about it.

Kayla: Hmm.

Sami: So that’s when I saw him and belle in bed together.

Shawn: Wait, you saw them? You saw belle?

Sami: She was hiding in the bathroom at first, but then she came out because she wanted to make sure I knew it was her. I hate having to tell you this.

Belle: Like hell you do.

Sami: [Chuckles]

Chloe: Well, it’s nice that rachel gets to stay with tate and theresa for a while.

Brady: Mm. Yeah, it is.

Chloe: But it’s also nice that you and theresa are getting along. Look, honey, I know that you’re worried about belle.

Brady: Oh, you think? I am.

[Scoffs]

Chloe: Well, look at how you and theresa have worked things out. That could be belle and shawn in time.

Brady: Chloe, my sister is on her way to tell shawn that she slept with ej dimera. How is he gonna get past that?

Chloe: Brady, your sister is more important than your hate for ej.

Brady: Chloe, I don’t just love my sister. I know my sister, okay? And through all their ups and downs, she has only really ever been happy with shawn. But thanks to jan spears and ej dimera, I think this time, their marriage may be over for good.

Belle: You don’t hate telling shawn about ej and me. You’re having the time of your life.

Sami: Oh, trust me, belle, I am not having the time of my life.

Belle: Oh, yeah, I know what you went through last night. Do you know what shawn went through? Do you care? No, I didn’t think so. Because telling him about ej and me– even though he just went through three circles of hell– that’s the way to inflict the maximum amount of pain on me, and that’s all that matters to you. I will never forgive you for doing this to shawn, not that you care.

Sami: I did this to shawn? He’s going through hell while you’re sleeping with ej, and it’s somehow my fault?

Kayla: You know, sami, that’s enough. Why don’t you just go? You’ve done your damage, you’ve had your moment, so just go, okay?

Sami: Okay, guys.

Kayla: I mean, go.

Sami: I’m going, I’m going. Shawn, good luck.

[Laughs]

[Slams door]

Kayla: You know, steve and i are gonna go and let you two have a moment. If you need anything, call us, all right? Come on, steve.

Shawn: So I guess we have to finally have a talk, right?

Marlena: It must have been quite a hard time for you. First, the wedding, and then having to hear kate’s confession. It must have been a very difficult thing to hear.

Roman: Yeah. Well, the hard part was that kate seemed genuinely miserable, like she was really sorry– and I mean really sorry.

Marlena: I’m sure she was.

Roman: Yeah, but I just couldn’t get past knowing she was only telling me ’cause she knew it was all gonna come out later.

Marlena: Well, that would be our kate. I can imagine how difficult it was for her to tell you, and I can also imagine how difficult it’s going to be for her to tell ej.

Kate: I led belle to those files that got you out of prison.

Ej: But I wouldn’t have been in prison if you hadn’t have once again enabled the pathetic, spineless drunk you spawned.

Kate: What can I say? Protecting my son.

Ej: Hmm, the things we do for love.

Kate: [Sighs] So what are you going to do with me?

Ej: Well, I do have a myriad of options, don’t I? Anything from civil litigation to something more visceral, more hands-on. But the fact is, while I may seem the very model of british decorum, inside– oh, inside–the italian side of me is seething. But my father has always been adamant that revenge is a dish best served cold, so you’re just going to have to wait until I feel rational enough, ruthless enough, to have decided your fate. See you around.

It’s started. Somewhere between a cuddle

Chloe: Oh, my goodness. This is lovely.

Brady: You like?

Chloe: Yes, I like.

Brady: With all the drama with my sister, I forgot to let you know how much I missed you, and I wanted to give you that.

Chloe: Aw. Can you help me put it on?

Brady: I’ll try. Thank you. Wow.

Chloe: Hmm?

Brady: You look good.

Chloe: Mm. I missed you too, brady.

Belle: I came here to tell you myself.

Shawn: You came here when you realized that sami wasn’t gonna keep your little secret.

Belle: Okay, can we just leave her out of this?

Shawn: Okay, fine. Sure. Okay, you came here to tell me. Well, thank you for the update. I don’t want to hear any more details, so thank you very much.

Belle: Shawn, listen to me. I am so sorry about how you found out, but you had to know we were headed this way.

Shawn: I wasn’t headed any way. I’m here, okay? I’m the one that’s here, in our house, in our den right now.

Belle: Shawn–

Shawn: No, you’re the one that headed out. You headed out, and you went straight to ej’s bed.

Marlena: Belle, you’ve gotta call me back right away. It’s really important.

[Hangs up] Oh, please, god, don’t let sami be doing what I think she’s doing.

[Doorbell rings] What the hell are you doing here?

Kate: I need your help.

[Tense music]

Ej: You came back. Thank god. This is the sound of better breathing.

[Sultry music]

Brady: Oh! I love it when you take charge like that.

Chloe: I know you do. Welcome home, brady.

Brady: It’s good to be home.

Cop: You know, when you pleaded not guilty back there, you looked like even you knew it was a crock.

Kate: So you gonna let me in?

Marlena: Am I going to let you in? You knew your son kidnapped my daughter, and you said nothing. And you knew they were about to get married, and you still said nothing. So your question is, am I going to let you into my home? Why in god’s name would I do that?

Belle: Shawn, you and I were having problems long before I got involved with ej.

Shawn: Yeah, yeah, we had problems. All right, jan spears and the devil tricked me into getting into bed with her, and then, all of a sudden, you decide that I betrayed you.

Belle: No, I didn’T.

Shawn: Well, you sure as hell played the injured wife perfectly. Belle, something terrible happened to both of us, and from day one, you’ve been acting like it was only you. You’re acting like you’re the victim and that I’m the bad guy here.

Belle: No!

Shawn: Yes! You walked out on me! You walked out on me and our marriage! Look, I was dealing with a psycho that was pregnant with my baby, okay? How am I supposed to protect him without dealing with her?

Belle: It was too much, okay? After everything she did to me and to us, to know that jan spears is having your child? I know that jan tricked you into bed. I never blamed you for that, but you didn’t tell me. For all that time, I had no idea that you slept with her, and then there’s just a baby!

Shawn: And this baby has no choice of how he was brought into this world.

Belle: God, you refuse to understand!

Shawn: Oh. Oh, yeah. Okay, well, you know what, I’m sure that ej understands, right? I’m sure he understands perfectly. Yeah, oh-so perfectly you just run right into his bed.

Belle: I’m leaving.

[Somber music]

Sami: “You’ve come back. Thank god.” Is that what you just said?

Ej: Yes, and I meant it.

Sami: Ej, your arrogance never ceases to amaze me. You think I came back to be with you, don’t you?

Ej: Haven’t you?

Sami: So walk me through your logic here. I was about to marry lucas last night, but that didn’t work out, so I come to see you, and i find you in bed with my sister, and that just brought back all the old feelings, did it? Should we get married? Should I call belle and ask her to be my maid of honor?

Ej: I take it you haven’t come back to me.

Sami: Good guess. I came to say goodbye to johnny.

Ej: Goodbye?

Sami: This is it. I’m leaving salem.

Ej: I see.

Sami: I have been ping-ponging back and forth between you and lucas for the better part of two decades, and I’m sick of it. You’re not worth the powder it would take to blow you up.

Ej: I would like to point out that we’d be together right now if you hadn’t believed his lies.

Sami: You’re right. You are right about that, ej, so thank god. Thank god it happened the way it did so I could learn my lesson, because I can’t even count the different ways you have found to break my heart. So I’m done. Good luck with belle or whoever comes after her. I hope you make each other miserable. This is it. I’ve had it with you, with–with this place, with all of it.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Finn: Help me, he–

Sheila: Stop. Stop! What are you doing? Just stop.

Finn: I need to see steffy and I’ve to go. I have to go.

Sheila: No. You’re going to see steffy. You will see her. You just can’t go right now. You’ve got to calm down.

Finn: I shouldn’t even be– I should be in a hospital. Why am I here?

Sheila: I’m taking care of you.

Finn: No. No. Everyone thinks I’m dead. My mother and my father. I want to see my wife.

Taylor: Right. Right. I mean, we– we both know that there’s no way to rush the grieving process, but… is she– is she doing better?

[ Sighing ] Okay. Well, I’m– I’m glad that she has you there, dr. Russo. You’re welcome. Okay. I will. Merci.

[ Phone beeping ]

[ Knocks on door ]

Taylor: Who is it? Deacon.

Deacon: Your, uh, assistant wasn’t at her desk.

Donna: Can I help you with something?

Quinn: Oh, now you’re being considerate. Ah, you weren’t being so considerate when you were having naked pillow fights with my husband.

Donna: Okay, quinn, let’s not go there. Just–

Quinn: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What is this?

Donna: It’s just a present.

Quinn: From eric?

Donna: Oh, no, from pam and charlie. You know how silly they can be. It’s funny that I’m actually running into you because I– I was just telling eric how, um, understanding you’ve been, about everything.

Quinn: Oh, understanding. Understanding about you stealing my husband.

Quinn: If you think I’m cool with you sleeping with the man I’m married to, think again.

Donna: Okay. I can understand why you’d be upset. But from what I’ve heard, you’re back again with carter.

Quinn: And you think that makes it okay? You do, don’t you? You– you actually think that makes it okay?

Donna: No. No, but carter is an amazing guy, and he’s got everything going for himself. You should be celebrating. It all worked out in the end, right? I mean, it’s not like you’re alone, quinn, in fact, this– this whole building is full of people. And I’m pretty sure if I yelled really loud right now, someone would come running.

Charlie: Oh, my god. Alert the media. Are you two about to kiss and make up?

Deacon: Taylor, I really like what you’ve done with this place. I got to say this is beautifully appointed.

Taylor: Thank you, deacon. But I– I have an appointment with a new patient now. You can’t–

Deacon: Oh, yeah? What’s his name?

Taylor: Oh come on. I can’T. I can’t tell you her name.

Deacon: Come on. I– just the first name. I mean, what are the chances that I– I know who this is? The city’s endless.

Taylor: Ima.

Deacon: Im– ima?

Taylor: Mm hm. Wait a minute, ima losar?

Taylor: You know ima losar?

Deacon: I am a loser.

Taylor: Oh, you.

Deacon: Come on, don’t be mad, alright? Oh, I just you know, after you wandered into the restaurant yesterday, I thought I’d come by and say hi. Cause I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you.

Sheila: No, no.

Finn: Why? Why do they think I’m dead? Why do they– why lie? Why lie? They must be so hurt.

Sheila: I am doing this to protect you.

Finn: I can’t believe I’m here, alive.

Sheila: Because of me, finn. Because of me. The doctors, they gave up on you, honey. They left you for dead. Look. Look. Your death certificate. You see, I gave you life, just like the day you were born. You’re here because of me, finn. Because of your mother. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Charlie: I am so teasing you guys. I know you want to pull each other’s teeth out. I’m just here to keep the peace.

Donna: I– I don’t have a problem with anyone.

Quinn: Oh, that’s just because you’re so perfect. Aren’t you, donna?

Charlie: Oh, come on, quinn. Pammy and I know all the dirt. Everybody does. Look, true love just finally won out.

Quinn: Hell is that supposed to mean?

Charlie: Well, donna’s back with eric. You’re with the hunky coo. Huh? All good. No harm, no foul.

Donna: Thank you, charlie. I was just telling quinn the same thing. She should be thrilled about carter.

Quinn: I think you both need to shut up.

Charlie: What did I do?

Donna: Carter. Good. You’re here. Maybe you could talk some sense into this one.

Charlie: Yeah. Good luck there, partner.

Donna: Let’s go.

Carter: What did I just walk in on?

Quinn: Donna actually thinks she’s done nothing wrong because you and i are back together. Wow. Wow.

Carter: Wow. Okay, well, we’re not letting them get to us. We have too much to be happy about. Forget about them.

Taylor: We are going to retire the word ‘loser’ from your vocabulary.

Deacon: All right, but I’m going to miss ima. That sad sack’s starting to grow on me.

>>Taylor: You are so much more than a sad sack, deacon. You know, even though ridge moved back in with brooke, doesn’t make either one of us a loser. Of course we’re sad. Of course. You know what we do? We– we wish them well. And we move on, for once and freakin’ all. Okay?

>>Deacon: You just make it sound so easy. You know, I– I should have sought out therapy years ago for my infatuation with brooke.

Taylor: Well, you wouldn’t be the first person that needed counseling because of brooke logan. Yeah, I like to call it loganlogic.

Deacon: I think maybe you could benefit from a few minutes on the couch yourself there.

Taylor: You’re probably right. You’re probably right. But honestly, deacon, all I care about right now is, is being there for steffy, helping her move forward.

Finn: This is crazy. What is this?

Sheila: It doesn’t even matter because you’re not dead. You’re very much alive.

Finn: Then let me go. Steffy, she– she’s gotta know. She needs to know.

Sheila: And she’s going to know, baby. It’s just– you’re not– you’re not well enough. You’re not strong enough yet.

Finn: No, I need to– she needs to know now!

Sheila: Listen to me! You have your whole life ahead of you. Steffy is going to get to be with you every day for the rest of your life. I only– I only have this moment. Because I’m probably going back to prison. So if you would just please, let me savor this moment with my precious boy. Let– let me mommy make you well again, sweetheart. Please, would just trust me? Just be patient. I’m gonna– I am going to give you everything you want. Everything you deserve. I promise.

Finn: No. No, sheila. I want to see steffy now.

Sheila: Stop it. Stop it.

Finn: I need to see steffy now, sheila.

Sheila: Relax, you have to relax. This isn’t good for you.

Finn: All I want is she. Sheila– that’s all I need.

Sheila: No, all you need is me, I’m a nurse! I know what I’m doing.

Finn: No, sheila, I need my wife, sheila. My wife!

[ Heart monitor beeping fast ]

Finn: What are you doing?

Sheila: There. There’s your wife.

Finn: Oh, my wife. Oh, steffy.

[ Finn sobbing ] I’m jonathan lawson

Quinn: You arrived at just the right time.

Carter: Looked like you and donna are about to come to blows.

Quinn: Oh. She is just infuriating. I– how can eric choose her? Donna is so basic, and she has this weird obsession with honey. That bag she took away, it was full of bottles of honey.

Carter: Okay. I’ve– I’ve heard rumors. I’ve heard some rumors..

Quinn: Who does that? Seriously. And, like, I just– why would he choose her? I– I am a successful, self-made jewelry designer with a global brand. Donna barely understands how to send an email.

Carter: Quinn, you are a very– you’re an accomplished, successful woman. No one can compete with that. I even get intimidated sometimes.

Quinn: Really?

Carter: Yes.

Quinn: My coo with a law degree and a six pack? I don’t know why am I letting her get to me?

Carter: That’s a very good question.

Quinn: That is the wrong answer. It’s because she always acts so innocent. “Oh. Oh. Was that me, who was rolling around in the hay with your husband? Oh, I didn’t know. Oopsie!”

Carter: Why is your donna impression so good?

Quinn: Oh, it shouldn’t be. Ugh.

Carter: I know I shouldn’t say that you’re cute and sexy when you get mad, but you’re cute and sexy when you get mad.

Quinn: Really?

Carter: Yeah.

Quinn: I was thinking maybe I was too intense.

Carter: Oh, no, no. I call it passion.

Quinn: Ooh. Carter walton, you are the perfect man for me. What would I do without you? You know just how to take the edge off.

Taylor: So, deacon, right before you came in, I was on the phone with steffy’s grief counselor, and I–

Deacon: I’m sorry, taylor– how’s steffy doing?

Taylor: Um, she’s– she’s hanging in there, you know, um. She’s trying to push through everything, but she’s feeling all of the painful memories and all the painful feelings. It’s a lot. I admire her strength.

Deacon: It’s just such a senseless loss. I– I didn’t know finn very well. But he really seemed like a great guy.

Taylor: He was wonderful to steffy in so many ways, you know? I mean, the fact that steffy even needs a grief counselor right now just breaks my heart. Her and finn were newlyweds. They– they just had a baby and an adorable family. Steffy should be living her best life.

Deacon: She’s very lucky to have you. She’s got all the support in the world.

Taylor: Yeah. Except for the– the one person she wished was here. She’ll never see her husband again.

Deacon: It’s got to be hard having her over in europe.

Taylor: I miss her, and the kids tremendously.

Deacon: Look, I mean, you know, the one good thing is sheila can’t find her over there.

Taylor: Yeah, that’s true. You know, as a– as a mental health professional, I know what steffy is up against. I know she’s going to have to really dig deep to try to find peace to get through all of this. And I support her on that. But as a mother, I’m not even thinking of peace. I want to find sheila. I want to find her, I want to track her down. And I wanna– I want to make her pay for what she’s done.

Finn: Hayes. My little boy, I wanna see– I want to see my little boy.

Sheila: All in good time. I gave you my word. Why don’t we, uh, why don’t we take a little rest, okay?

Finn: Now! Now. Now.

Sheila: You can’t see them now. Don’t you remember? Baby, I told you, steffy and the kids, they’re away. But they’re fine.

Finn: Fine? They think I’m dead.

Sheila: Only for a little while. Un– until you’re better.

Finn: No.

Sheila: They’re going to be so happy to see you when you’re all in one piece. Well, let’s just take a deep breath. All right? You need to listen to me. You’ve got to stop doing this. You– honey, you’ve got to stop running around like this. It’s not safe.-You’re not stable.

Finn: Today! Today! Today!

Sheila: You have a spinal injury and if you keep hurting yourself, you’re never getting out of this bed.

Finn: I want to see steffy and hayes today. I have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.

Quinn: I’m sorry. I’m not exactly putting my best foot forward.

Carter: I think you are. You’re dealing with a lot of conflicted emotions. You loved eric, and your life together. It’s normal to be mourning the loss of your marriage.

Quinn: Yeah, that’s true. And I mean, eric and i parting, it’s the best for us. I mean, it’s really the best for all of us.

Carter: Everything happened for a reason. Everything we sacrificed.

Quinn: Look at who I get to spend the rest of my life with, this extraordinary man standing right in front of me. I guess charlie was right. True love does win out in the end. But don’t ever tell charlie that I said he was right about anything.

Carter: Your secret’s safe with me.

Deacon: You have every reason in the world to despise sheila.

Taylor: I do. I do. But I can’t let myself get consumed with how much I hate her.

Deacon: Hey taylor, it’s me. I– I know you don’t know me that well, but I’ll never judge you.

Taylor: Thank you. It’s maddening that sheila keeps doing terrible things and getting away with it. How is she out there? How is she out there again? Free to hurt whoever she wants.

Finn: Get off of me. Get off of me. I need steffy. All I need is steffy.

Sheila: Stop it! No! You’re wrong. All you need is me. All you need is your mother.

Finn: No, I need steffy. I need a phone, I need to talk to her and tell her that I’m alive.

Sheila: Would you just listen to me? You need to listen to your mother. You’re a doctor, for god’s sakes. You know better than to behave like this.

Finn: You’re crazy.

Sheila: What did you say?

Finn: You’re crazy!

Sheila: Oh no. You don’t get to behave like that, young man. I love you. And I have been nothing but nice to you.

Finn: Help! Help! Som– help! Help me! Help! Help! Somebody! Help– I– I need help! Help! Help me! What is that? What are you doing?

Sheila: You give me no choice here. You can’t control yourself.

Finn: What do you do? Sheila? No. What is that? Don’t do– what are you doing? Don’t do that. No, no.

Sheila: This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you.

Finn: Sheila, no, no. Sheila, don’t do anything you’re not supposed to. Sheila, don’t do anything. Sheila, don’T. Don’t! Sheila! Steffy… steffy– steffy.

Allie: Hi.

Noah: Oh, there she is, Jabot’s number-one new intern.

Allie: Oh, stop. I just started. It is too soon to say that.

Noah: Well, I got confidence in you. How was your first day?

Allie: Oh, my gosh, it was so fantastic. I loved, loved, loved orientation. They were so thorough.

[ Sighs ] I can’t wait to start working on the projects in the lab.

Noah: Yeah, I mean, sounds exciting. Chemicals and beakers and all that stuff.

Allie: You have not done chemistry since high school, have you?

Noah: No, no, I have not, but I’m trying my best to act like i know what I’m talking about, so if you can just play along, that would be great.

Allie: Okay, okay, well, I am super excited to get practical experience with everything i learned in school. So I’m interested in discovering how science is done in an academic setting versus how it’s done in…

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry.

Noah: What, why are you sorry?

Allie: Here I am going on and on about my fun new internship, and I know you’re not really feeling fulfilled with your career at the moment, so…

Noah: That’s true, but there’s no need to apologize. You know, it’s good that you’re so excited about your new job. That’s what we all want, right? Matter of fact, I think we should celebrate. Would you want to go to dinner with me?

Allie: Oh, sure, yeah, but we could just get something here. I really need a muffin —

Noah: No, Allie, I — I mean like a real dinner.

Allie: Noah Newman, are you asking me out on a date?

Noah: I mean, we — we don’t have to put a label on it if you don’t want to call it that. I just think that we should commemorate your success, and i want to thank you for listening to me about my dilemma with my dad. Talking it out really helped.

Allie: Good, I’m glad. Have you come to a decision? Are you still thinking about leaving New Hope?

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

Ashland: You know, in all my years of experience, I’ve found the man who was stripped of everything is the most dangerous.

Victoria: Is that a threat?

Ashland: It’s an observation.

Victoria: You walked in here so calm and deferential ’cause you wanted us to grant you a favor, but now that my father’s refused you, you’re baring your teeth?

Ashland: I’m just saying, if you kick a dog enough times, eventually he will bite back.

Victor: If anyone in my family is bitten by your damn dog, I will kill you myself. Now get out of my sight.

Traci: Hey, Allie. Listen, it’s such a beautiful day out, I think I’m gonna go out in the garden and do some writing. Would you care to join me? Allie?

Allie: Oh, hey, Traci. Sorry. I didn’t know you were here.

Traci: Wow. You were a million miles away.

Allie: Yeah. I get into this hyperfocus mode when I read. I’m sorry.

Traci: Oh, don’t apologize. That’s a fantastic quality in a person. In fact, I owe my entire career to good readers. So, tell me, what has your attention?

Traci: So, you have already started doing research. Wow. At that rate, you’re going to be on the board of directors by next week.

Victoria: You’re not welcome here.

Ashland: I figured that. Regardless, I have some things to say.

Victoria: This is one of your stunts. You’re trying to shake me up, rattle me. It’s not gonna work. You know, I really would’ve hoped by now you would’ve learned not to underestimate me.

Ashland: No, believe me, i will never make that mistake again. But I do feel you owe it to me to at least hear me out.

Victor: We don’t owe you a damn thing, ashland locke. I don’t think you have anything ofnterest to say to either me or victoria.

Victoria: Actually, I’m intrigued. There’s nothing left for you in genoa city, so I want to know why did you come back?

Adam: Look, I’m not gonna stand by and allow you to be used as a pawn in another round of the newman power plays.

Sally: Well, I appreciate that, but I’m a little troubled by what you just said, that you’re gonna find a solution and I don’t know want to know how. I — I don’t like the way that sounds.

Adam: Well, I didn’t mean to alarm you. You know, I just got a little worked up. Using hyperbole to prove a point, that’s all.

Sally: Are you sure? ‘Cause you were just talking about getting revenge on your family. I’m just really concerned where that could lead you.

Adam: You have nothing to worry about. Okay? My temper just got the best of me today, that’s all. I have no plans to get myself in troublE.

Sally: Does that mean you plan on getting someone else in trouble?

Adam: I just want you to focus on being ceo of newman media.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Adam: You’re gonna have to trust me that I’m gonna do what’s right. I’m gonna find a solution that works for everybody.

Sally: I do trust you. I’m just having a little trouble envisioning what that solution could be because victor and victoria have never considered me a valuable part of newman media. They have only tolerated me because you want me here, and nick and nikki aren’t allies. So there’s gonna be nobody in the executive suite clamoring for me to stay on as ceo. It just doesn’t look good.

Adam: I know the value you bring to this company, okay? You belong in that chair, and i am gonna do whatever it takes to keep you in that chair. It’s where you belong.

Sally: What about where you belong?

Allie: Hi.

Noah: Oh, there she is, jabot’s number-one new intern.

Allie: Oh, stop. I just started. It is too soon to say that.

Noah: Well, I got confidence in you. How was your first day?

Allie: Oh, my gosh, it was so fantastic. I loved, loved, loved orientation. They were so thorough.

[ Sighs ] I can’t wait to start working on the projects in the lab.

Noah: Yeah, I mean, sounds exciting. Chemicals and beakers and all that stuff.

Allie: You have not done chemistry since high school, have you?

Noah: No, no, I have not, but I’m trying my best to act like i know what I’m talking about, so if you can just play along, that would be great.

Allie: Okay, okay, well, I am super excited to get practical experience with everything i learned in school. So I’m interested in discovering how science is done in an academic setting versus how it’s done in…

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry.

Noah: What, why are you sorry?

Allie: Here I am going on and on about my fun new internship, and I know you’re not really feeling fulfilled with your career at the moment, so…

Noah: That’s true, but there’s no need to apologize. You know, it’s good that you’re so excited about your new job. That’s what we all want, right? Matter of fact, I think we should celebrate. Would you want to go to dinner with me?

Allie: Oh, sure, yeah, but we could just get something here. I really need a muffin —

Noah: No, allie, I — I mean like a real dinner.

Allie: Noah newman, are you asking me out on a date?

Noah: I mean, we — we don’t have to put a label on it if you don’t want to call it that. I just think that we should commemorate your success, and i want to thank you for listening to me about my dilemma with my dad. Talking it out really helped.

Allie: Good, I’m glad. Have you come to a decision? Are you still thinking about leaving new hope?

Ashland: Well, I came back here to genoa city to collect my things, the personal items i believe you had boxed up.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Seriously?

Ashland: Yeah. They have enormous sentimental value to me. I cherish them.

Victoria: I had those things moved into a storage unit. I’ll just text you theinformation so that you can retrieve them.

Ashland: I would appreciate that.

Victoria: And once you do, you can take your little knickknacks and you can leave town.

Ashland: Oh, believe me, i plan to.

Victor: Ashland, you didn’t come here to pick up a damn box. Why are you really here?

Ashland: I want you both to hear what I have to say.

Victor: I’m listening.

Ashland: Well, first of all, I want you both to know that i understand there’s no coming back from what happened. And I want to commend you both. After all these years, you managed to achieve something that many have tried to do and failed — you took me on and you beat me at my own game. Want your clothes to smell freshly

Noah: I’ve given it a lot of thought, and I think leaving new hope is the best move for me. Now I just have to figure out how to talk to my dad about it.

Allie: Well, you two are so close. I’ve got to believe that he’s gonna understand.

Noah: Yeah, I think he will, but it’s complicated.

Allie: I get it. He has no idea this is coming, so… what are you gonna do?

Noah: I think I’ll stay on at new hope for now, until he gets settled in at the new job or until I find a quality replacement. I don’t want to undermine his decision to go back to newman enterprises. It was a pretty big deal for him.

Allie: That’s really considerate of you.

Noah: And I also don’t want to give my parents another reason to worry, because they will. I can already hear, “oh, he left new hope, he’s directionless, he’s lost.” I’m getting kind of tired of all that. I mean, I could be 50 years old, on top of the world, and they’d still be like, “noah, we’re really not sure about your life choices.”

Allie: You know they only do that because they love you so much, right?

Noah: Yeah, yeah, you’re right. I’m lucky to have them. But you have got off-topic.

Allie: Oh?

Noah: Yeah, you distracted me with all this conversation of new hope, my parents, my poor life choices. All I really wanted to know was if you’d go to dinner with me.

Allie: Right, about that…

Noah: No pressure. I just want to know what you think.

Allie: I would love to go to dinner with you, noah.

Adam: You forgot that i actually excel at creating new opportunities for myself.

Sally: I know. But what could you possibly do that would be more meaningful? You created newman media. This is your baby, much more than it is mine. Look at everything you’ve accomplished. Think of all the possibilities the future holds.

Adam: And that is why you are the one that deserves to run this company. You have such enthusiasm. Still embracing all that potential that we created, despite whatever challenges are gonna come your way.

Sally: Yeah, I mean, I’ve never been one to let chaos stop me from going after what I want. Something we have in common.

Adam: Yes. But I don’t want to run this company, okay? Things are different now that I’ve been kicked out of the top spot of the empire yet again. It’s more about just succeeding at business. I can’t go back to being under victor’s thumb, answering to victoria. She’ll never trust me.

Sally: And you think she’ll trust me to run her media division?

Adam: I will convince her.

Sally: How?

Adam: You said you believed in me.

Sally: Absolutely. But I wouldn’t mind a detail or two.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Okay, look, you may have committed some sins in your past, but right now you’re guilty by association, and that is not fair. So I’m gonna convince victoria that I’m no longer any part of this.

Sally: I’m still not sure what that means.

Adam: Just know that I am gonna do everything to persuade victoria that you should be judged solely on your merits, of which there are many. You are extraordinary in every way. Do you believe me now?

Sally: [ Chuckles ] I think we should get out of here so I can show you just how much I love you.

Victoria: I have to say, i didn’t really expect you to admit defeat like that. It’s not like you have another move. You’ve lost.

Ashland: As anyone who’s listened to the most recent “grinning soul” podcast already knows. I assume you were the source who told him about my cancer.

Victor: You mean your make-believe cancer, right?

Victoria: Well, as you know, the truth usually has a way of revealing itself.

Ashland: Yes, it does. I just didn’t expect this truth to come out in this way. I assumed you would hang onto this chip to keep me at bay.

Victoria: Well, initially, i thought that was the best strategy, but after hearing the podcast, I was actually glad that information was out there so that the whole world knows exactly who you are. You have no more power. And if you were even thinking about going on the attack, i would forget it if I were you.

Ashland: I didn’t come here for revenge.

Victor: Really?

Ashland: Yes, I mean that.

Victor: Hmm.

Ashland: In fact, I came here hoping that you would show me a bit of mercy before I leave genoa city.

Victoria: What could we possibly do for you?

Ashland: I would like to have one last visit and a final goodbye to my son.

Victor: You mean kyle’s son.

Ashland: Yes, I won’t fight you on that, but you know how much he means to me. It would mean everything if i could just see him one more time.

Victoria: Your relationship with harrison is not my concern anymore, ashland.

Ashland: I understand that. But we all know that victor orchestrated the restraining order. And so, victor, you are the only one who could lift it. Two phone calls. One to the judge, one to kyle. Please. You’ve taken everything else away from me. Can’t you just give me this? Here’s liz, whose bladder leaks drop in uninvited.

Victor: Look, ashland locke, after all the damage you have done to our family, the pain you have caused my daughter, the heartache, the deceit, you belong behind bars.

Ashland: I’m asking father-to-father, victor.

Victor: Oh, don’t give me that nonsense. Why the hell would I allow you to be anywhere near that boy? You’re a monster.

Ashland: You know, in all my years of experience, I’ve found the man who was stripped of everything is the most dangerous.

Victoria: Is that a threat?

Ashland: It’s an observation.

Victoria: You walked in here so calm and deferential ’cause you wanted us to grant you a favor, but now that my father’s refused you, you’re baring your teeth?

Ashland: I’m just saying, if you kick a dog enough times, eventually he will bite back.

Victor: If anyone in my family is bitten by your damn dog, I will kill you myself. Now get out of my sight.

Ashland: I came in peace. I will go quietly. You’ll never see me again.

[ Sighs ]

Noah: So what time do you want to eat?

Allie: Okay, I have to be honest, I did not eat anything today.

Noah: Could you not find the cafeteria?

Allie: No, I could find the cafeteria. I was just so nervous and excited for my first day that i could barely eat anything. The point is, I’m really hungry.

Noah: Okay, so sooner rather than later — I can do that.

Allie: Okay, so I will go home and change and then I’ll meet you there.

Noah: I mean, I’d rather do the gentlemanly thing and pick you up at the abbott house.

Allie: Okay. That works. Okay, so then give me a little bit of time, and then I will see you soon.

Noah: Okay.

Allie: Okay. Okay.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Sharon: Oh, I was just coming to see if you and allie wanted something to eat.

Noah: Oh, she had to run home.

Sharon: Do you want something?

Noah: No, I’m good. I’m actually about to head out myself.

Sharon: You got plans?

Noah: As a matter of fact, i do. Allie and I are going to dinner.

Sharon: Mm, well, that explains that smile.

Noah: [ Chuckles ] Celebrating her first day at jabot.

Sharon: Oh, I didn’t know she worked there.

Noah: Yeah, in the lab, putting that chemistry degree to work.

Sharon: Oh, well, she must be thrilled, and you two will have a lot to talk about now that you have an expanded role at new hope.

Noah: [ Chuckles ] You overheard us, didn’t you?

Sharon: Yes, I did. I didn’t mean to, but, yes. Noah, I heard you talking about leaving new hope.

Noah: And, what, now you’re worried I’m going in the wrong direction. -Fixed. -That’s my son.

Sharon: I’m not judging your decision to leave new hope. I just — I’m trying to understand.

Noah: I haven’t made a final decision yet.

Sharon: But you are leaning in that direction, right?

Noah: Yeah.

Sharon: Hmm. Well, when I saw the look on your face when your dad was talking to you, I couldn’t tell if you were apprehensive or you were just disinterested in taking on a bigger role, but I’m surprised that you want to leave new hope altogether. I thought you liked it there.

Noah: I do, but I love all the work the organization accomplishes. It was really nice to be a part of that.

Sharon: But?

Noah: I feel like an outsider there. It’s dad’s passion project. It’s not mine, but he’s counting on me and I don’t want to disappoint him.

Sharon: I think that he’s gonna be thrown to hear that you don’t want to work there anymore, but I — the only way you would ever disappoint him is if you continue to bottle up your feelings. There’s no way he would want you to stay on there out of some obligation to him. In that kind of work, to be successful, you really have to have your heart in it.

Noah: I agree, but unfortunately, that doesn’t make me feel any less guilty. Dad, he needs me to take over. And if I left now, there’d be twice as much work. So I’ll stay on now until he gets comfortable at the new job or until I find a quality replacement.

Sharon: Everything is gonna work out and new hope will go on, no matter what.

Noah: Thank you for saying that. But if you can, please keep this between the two of us, at least for now.

Sharon: Of course. I just want you to be happy. What do you think would get you there? What are you looking for?

Noah: I don’t know. I’m trying. There’s something out there for me, I know it.

Sharon: Something out there. Would you leave genoa city again?

Noah: No. I’ve got way too many reasons to stick around.

Allie: Hi, traci.

Traci: Hey. Wait, wait, wait! I’m dying to hear how your first day went.

Allie: Oh, uh… it was so amazing. But it was just orientation. And, you know, there’s not much to tell about it.

Traci: Oh, well, I-I get the feeling that you’re trying to rush upstairs.

Allie: Oh. Sorry. Um… noah asked me out to dinner, and I just have to get ready before he gets here.

Traci: I see.

Allie: I have to goet ready.

[ Both laugh ]

Traci: Okay. That’s why you’re more cited than just about jabot. And I’m so glad that you’ve been able to find this lovely friend in noah.

Allie: Thanks, traci. This is, uh — this is pretty fancy for us. We usually just hang out, so…

Traci: Oh. Sounds kind of like a proper date. I see. Okay. That’s how it is. All right. No, we can talk about jabot just any timE. You go on upstairs and get ready for your date. Go on.

[ Chuckles ]

Nick: You got a lot of nerve returning to town, let alone this office. If you were smart, you’d walk out that door and never come back.

Ashland: Nice to see you, too, nick. And you’re right. Coming here was clearly a mistake.

Nick: I knew he’d show up here. What did he want?

Victoria: Everything’s fine.

Nick: That’s not an answer.

Victor: The bastard expected us to help him.

Nick: What did he want?

Victoria: He wanted to arrange a visit with harrison.

Nick: Why would he show up here asking for that?

Victoria: Look, I told you already. I don’t want to waste any more energy on ashland, okay?

Nick: Vic, I still have questions.

Victoria: Well, dad can fill you in later. Right now, and more importantly, I nt to know how your recon mission went with sally.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Not like I expected.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Traci: Mm.

Allie: Traci.

Traci: Yeah.

Allie: Does this look all right?

Traci: Oh, my goodness. It’s perfect. You look just beautiful.

Allie: This is one of the dresses that summer foisted on me. I don’t usually dress like this.

[ Both laugh ]

Traci: Well, you wouldn’t know it to look at you. It looks perfectly natural.

Allie: Thanks, traci. You always know what to say.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Noah: Wow. You, uh… you look great.

Allie: Yeah. So do you. C-come in.

Noah: Yeah.

Allie: Yeah.

Traci: Hey, noah.

Noah: Hey, traci. It’s good to see you.

Traci: Thank you. You too. And you guys look so cute. I should be, like, taking photos or something.

Allie: Oh, please don’T.

Noah: Starting to feel like prom.

Traci: Yeah. Hey, are you sure that you want to go to dinner now?

Noah: Early-bird special for this one.

Allie: I’m really hungry.

Traci: Okay. Don’t let me get in your way. Come on. You guys go, go, go and have a really, really great time. Have fun, honey.

[ Chuckles ]

Victor: Why did you see sally spectra?

Nick: I went to see sally to get information about adam, to see if he was serious about leaving newman.

Victor: I see.

Nick: I never actually spoke to sally, though, because I ran into adam first. He didn’t offer up anything, but honestly, he seemed far more interested in sally’s fate. He really wants her to keep her job.

Victoria: And you told him that I didn’t see a future for her at newman media, didn’t you?

Nick: He was being up front with me. I saw no reason to keep that information from him.

Victor: Well, now, victoria and I disagree on that. I think allowing sally spectra to stay on will ensure the fact that adam would come back, right? Where’d you leave things with him?

Nick: Adam wants to speak to victoria directly. He seems to believe that you two can come to some sort of arrangement.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Victoria: That’s him. He wants to meet.

Victor: I bet that means that he’s willing to come back as ceo of newman media, provided that sally stays on as coo.

Victoria: Well, it’s just as likely that he wants to meet to tell me that I should keep sally as ceo.

Victor: Well, let’s find out. , No matter what type of dog you have…

Sharon: Hi, traci. Good to see you.

Traci: Hi, sharon. How are you? You know, I know how difficult these last few months have been for you.

Sharon: Yeah. It gets a little better each day, but I really appreciate you checking in with me any time I see you. You know, things move so fast around here, it’s really nice when somebody remembers rey, so thank you.

Traci: Of course, I think of you. In fact, I just saw noah.@@ He came by the house to pick up allie.

Sharon: I think the two of them actually have their first official date tonight.

Traci: They are so adorable. It’s just ridiculous. You know, she’s — she’s really shy and quiet, and that all goes away when she’s around noah. I think they really have a connection.

Sharon: I agree with you. I noticed he’s genuinely happy every time I see him with her. And that’s all I want is for him to be happy.

Traci: [ Chuckles ]

Sharon: Do you want your usual order?

Traci: Yes, please.

Sharon: Okay.

Traci: Sharon, you sure you’re okay?

Sharon: Yeah, I’m fine. I just — I’m worried about noah. Not his personal life. I think allie’s wonderful.

Traci: Okay. What’s left to be concerned about?

Sharon: Well, when noah came back from london, he was so lost. But he really managed to turn things around and I thought he had finally settled into a career path and found his way. But now I’m not so sure.

Allie: [ Sighs ]

Noah: Oh, okay. Cool. My dad and grandfather are here. That is the perfect atmosphere for a date.

Allie: Well, abby does own the place, so I guess neither of us should be surprised to see family here.

Noah: Yeah, I guess not.

Allie: You want to go somewhere else?

Noah: No, no, it’ll be fine. We’ll just get a table very, very far away.

[ Chuckles ] We should go say hi first, though.

Allie: Okay. Sure, definitely.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

Noah: So they’ll just let anyone into this place now, huh?

Victor: Noah, my goodness. How are you, old boy?

Nick: Allie, how are you doing?

Allie: Great to see you, nick.

Noah: Grandpa, this is allie nguyen.

Victor: A, yes. Are you jack abbott’s granddaughter?

Allie: Yes, I am.

[ Chuckles ]

Victor: Well, I won’t hold that against you.

Allie: I’ve heard stories about the abbotts versus the newmans.

Victor: Some of them actually true. Would you like to join us for dinner?

Noah: Oh, that’s very kind, grandpa, but I —

Nick: Yeah, dad, I’m sure the last thing he wants to do is hang out with his old man and his grandpa tonight.

Noah: Thank you for the invitation, but I think we’re gonna get our own table.

Nick: Hey, before you go and order dinner, pretend like we’re not here…

Noah: What’s that?

Nick: We haven’t told your grandfather the big news yet.

Victor: Which is?

Nick: Since I’m coming back to newman, noah is gonna be taking on more of a leadership role at new hope.

Victor: Oh, well, that’ll be a good experience for you.

Nick: Speaking of which, I have some things I need to forward to you that need to be handled A.S.A.P.

Noah: Yeah. Okay, I’ll make sure it gets handled.

Nick: Everything alright?

Noah: Yeah. Yeah. We’ll talk later, okay? We just want to go grab our table.

Victor: Noah, you know your grandfather’s a big spender, so dinner’s on me.

Noah: Thank you, grandpa.

Victor: Nice meeting you.

Allie: Lovely meeting you guys.

Victor: Alright.

[ Knock on door ]

Adam: You got a minute?

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Not much more than that. I’ve been playing catch up these days, so if you can get right to the point, it would be much appreciated.

Adam: Sure.

Victoria: Let me guess. You’re here because you’ve changed your mind and you want to go back to running newman media.

Adam: [ Sighs ] That ship has sailed. I’m here because I know you want to fire sally.

Victoria: Well, she wasn’t exactly qualified to be coo. I think as ceo, she’ll be a little out of her depth.

Adam: Well, that’s actually not true. She more than proved herself as my partner. We ran newman media, and I have all the confidence in the world that she could lead that division to new heights. And no one will work harder than her.

Victoria: Well, as talented as she may be, there are bigger issues at play.

Adam: You mean my relationship with her?

Victoria: You and I both know that it would delight you for things to go wrong at the company. And clearly, sally wants to make you happy. I mean, it would certainly be an incentive for her to do a less than great job as ceo.

Adam: Victoria. Look, I know that you view me as a threat and you have to look at sally the same way. But I would argue you should give her more credit than that. She’s her own person. She’s not an extension of me, and she has no interest in tanking newman media. She’s actually eager and building a good reputation in the business world.

Victoria: Are you sure about that? I did my due diligence. I looked into that fashion house that she ran in los angeles. You know, she pulled a lot of stunts that gave her a terrible, terrible reputation.

Adam: Yeah, well, she’s matured and changed. She wants to put that behind her.

Victoria: That’s so funny, because people used to say the exact same thing about you and — and look at you now. So you can’t blame me for being skeptical.

Adam: Sally is not a hardened cynic like me. Her transformation is genuine. So this fear of her is misplaced, victoria.

Victoria: Scared? I’m not scared of sally. I simply want people that I can rely on in key roles in this corporation. People that I know that I can trust.

Adam: Look, sally is very conscientious, and she’s hard working and, yes, reliable. I’m telling you, you give her a chance, she will surprise you.

Victoria: How am I supposed to do that when her primary loyalty is to you?

Adam: Victoria, you don’t have to worry about that. You don’t have to worry about my influence on sally anymore.

This is john. Heart, and I don’t think his

Sharon: I know he’s an adult,

Sharon: I know he’s an adult, but I still worry about noah.

Traci: Well, you’re his mother. Of course you do. That’s kind of what you’re supposed to do.

Sharon: Yeah, I just feel like he needs some guidance.

Traci: Yeah, I understand. You know, noah is an artist at heart, and I don’t think his path is ever going to be straight and clear, like a lot of his peers, including his family. I know a little about that. Take a look at me. I mean, I figured out that i could write when I was in school, but how long did it take me to realize I could make a career doing that? I think noah may have to just sort of explore a few things, you know, until he finds that perfect thing that makes him the happiest. He is such a smart and talented young man. He is going to find his way.

Allie: Can I ask you something?

Noah: Oh, about the menu? Crab enchiladas is the way to go.

Allie: No, not about the food. When your dad brought up that new hope business, you didn’t hesitate to say that you’d take care of it. Noah, are you having second thoughts about stepping away?

Noah: No. It’s just… I don’t want to talk about that. Tonight is about you. I just want to celebrate your exciting new internship at jabot and not worry about anything else.

Victoria: So you’re saying that you no longer have any influence over sally, your partner?

Adam: That’s right.

Victoria: You know, I just don’t know why I would believe that she would prioritize newman’s interests and my expectations over her feelings for you.

Adam: Well, you should believe it, because there is no sally and adam anymore. It’s not working out, so I’m breaking it off. It’s over.

Sally: Adam? Are you here?

[ Sighs ]

Nick: Any word from adam or victoria?

Victor: No.

Nick: I really hope they can come to some understanding. But the thing that concerns me the most is whatever it is ashland’s up to right now because he cannot be trusted.

Victor: You know he’s out for revenge. You know that. The question is, how long will he stay in genoa city?

Nick: He should already be gone.

Victor: He shouldn’t have been back here in the first place.

Nick: Well, we need to tell kyle and summer that he’s back in town. They need to be on the alert.

Victor: I couldn’t agree with you more. Who knows what that son of a bitch is up to next? We got to stay vigilant.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

Victoria: The symbol on the ring is a crest of a scottish lord named roger loch. I know it’s not your given name, but I think that it represents who you are now.

Ashland: You — you researched the name and then tracked this down?

[ Sighs ]

Victoria: Hmm.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] I will cherish this forever. There are a dozen reasons that i don’t deserve your love, but i thank god every day that you came into my life.

[ Crying ]

[ Sniffles ] Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ah! Ah! Ahhhh!

[ Breathing heavily ] Ah!

[ Grunts ] Ah! Ahhh.

[ Grunts ] Ah! Ah!

[ Breathing heavily ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

hi. Mayor collins. Oh, please. Thank you. Hi, trina. Portia: Thank you so much for doing this. Oh, please. When scott baldwin asked me to make a statement to attest to trina’s good character, I was more than happy to do so. Where is scott? Actually, scott isn’t coming.

[ Yawns ] Boy. Hey, um… ooh. Dad, we’ve been knocking on doors all night. Yeah. If you want to go take a load off and sit in the car. I stowed some waters in the trunk. You can kick back and listen to some jazz music on the radio. Listen to you, talking to me like I’m some old man. Why don’t you go sit in the car and listen to jazz on the radio? I’m gonna keep knocking on all these doors looking for that bartender. Alright? Right. I forgot how feisty you are. No, no, no. Not feisty. Determined. Trina’s like a granddaughter to me now. Ain’t no way she’s going to jail — not if I can help it. Right? Okay. So we’ll keep knocking on doors until we find the bartender that sold esme prince the unregistered phone. Unless tj and taggert find him first. But I don’t know about you. I’m feeling lucky. Should you do the honors, or should I? Man: Payment’s coming! Can I help you? I believe you can. Mm. Good morning to you, too. I don’t suppose I can whisk you off to the bedroom? I wish. But you have plans? Where are you heading this morning?

[ Sighs ] Well, it’s trina. Her — her trial starts today, and I’m gonna head over to her mother’s, and we’re gonna go to the courthouse from there. Of course. Apologies for forgetting.

[ Teacup thuds ] What? Nothing. Never mind. Ava. I-I was just going to ask if you could maybe keep esme from showing up at court, you know, so she doesn’t upset trina, but I realize that’s wishful thinking. It’s not that I wouldn’t ask esme to stay away. I just don’t hold that kind of sway over her. Good morning, my love. Sorry. Didn’t mean to spoil your day. No, I’m sorry. You surprised me. You don’t have to lie, spence. I know you’ve been keeping your distance from me. First, you missed the fireworks, and then when you returned to wyndemere last night, you barely said a word to me. What happened? What’s this? It’s champagne and orange juice. Sorry if you never heard of it. Right, so you fail to do away with laura, and now you’re coming after me? What, by poisoning you? Don’t think I haven’t thought of it. Nope. Still here. You know, this isn’t some kind of a joke. May I remind you… that you’re holding my daughter hostage? In her very luxurious european boarding school with absolutely no idea it wasn’t your decision to put her there. Alright, so… why did you want to see me if it wasn’t to kill me? I have something in the works that will get the heat off of both of us, with no blood being spilled. It’s a waste of time, I’m afraid. Since you’ve failed to follow orders, I’ve taken matters into my own hands.

nothing happened last night. I just have a lot on my mind. And I think we both know what “a lot on your mind” is, don’t we? Trina’s trial. That’s right. You and I might both be called to testify — our names dragged through the mud. Trina’s attorney and her friends will both say terrible things about us. You make a good point. Which gives me a wonderful idea. Why don’t we fly somewhere for the week? You know, avoid any possible subpoenas. Spend your monthly allowance on someplace far away from here and trina’s trial. We can’T. Oh. Why not? The faroe islands? I’ve never even heard of them. It’s an archipelago in the northern atlantic. It’s semi-autonomous, but essentially it’s a territory of denmark. And scott’s daughter was arrested there? Serena is a committed environmentalist. And the faroe islands have — oh. Oh, I read about this, actually, yeah. They have this annual hunt where they slaughter dolphins and small whales. They killed like 1,400 last year. Oh. Oh, god, that’s disgusting. Those poor animals. Agreed. Well, serena got into a heated confrontation with some traditionalists who still support the hunt, and she was taken into custody. So scott is en route to the faroe islands where he will secure his daughter, a danish lawyer, and coordinate her defense. Now, trina, dr. Robinson, I know that scott spoke with you about this. Yeah, he called me last night, explained the situation, and said that you were willing to take over trina’s defense? Absolutely. Scott has done a masterful job with prepping the case, and I am more than confident that I can argue it. However, if this is all too last-minute for you, I understand. I will ask the court for a continuance. Well, how much time would that buy trina? Well, there’s really no way to predict. I mean, judge young may see scott’s disappearance as a stall tactic and may not grant the continuance. But assuming that it is granted, the trial could be delayed anywhere from three months to a year. What? I-I can’t spend a whole year with this hanging over my head. Hey, my man, we’re friends of jack’S. He said he was gonna put in a good word for us with you. Haven’t heard from jack in days. What’s this about? Oh, well, you know, we, um, we’re looking to buy some items. You know what I’m saying? Off the books. And jack said you’re the man with the plan, so… how do I know you two ain’t cops? What if we are? Mom, these past few months have been hard enough. I don’t want to spend a whole year in limbo. I’m innocent, and I want to prove it. Actually, diane, I want you to prove it. Can you do that? Oh, of course she can. Trina, she’s defended sonny for years, and she’s gotten him off more times than I can count. And he was guilty every time. And I’m sure you’re exaggerating. No, my point is, diane is a rock star in the courtroom. You could not have anybody better. But that actually does bring up a good point. Will it go against trina to be defended by an attorney who is known to be… the phrase you’re looking for is “mobbed up.” Right. Yes. Well, I can assure you that I have many, many clients who have nothing to do with sonny or his family. In fact, just a couple of years ago, I defended willow tait in a particularly tricky adoption case. And it’s ironic that she’s with michael now, but back then, she had no ties to organized crime. Listen, having said all of that, the bottom line is there’s no guarantee. Even with my admittedly excellent record, I have had verdicts not go my way. I’ve had clients convicted that I knew were innocent. But what about trina’s case? Well, I have to say, I’m a little baffled by this sudden outbreak of conscience with regards to our esteemed mayor. Laura has no love for you, you know. It’s not a moral decision, victor. There were too many witnesses that had seen laura and me together, including her husband. Laura would have drunk the iced tea, she would have collapsed, and all eyes would have been on me. Yes, yes, yes. I’m sure you made the right call under the circumstances. Nevertheless, I’ll handle things from now on. Don’t panic. Panic makes poor decisions. Panic? You want laura neutralized before she can deport you? I think you’ve taken on more than you can handle. So let me suggest a change in tactics. Stop threatening me, and tell me what the hell is going on.

You sure I can’t tempt you?

[ Moans ] How’s about a rain check? Whatever your heart desires. And why can’t we leave port charles? Because — because I have a surprise for you. Really? What is it? It wouldn’t be a surprise if I told you.

[ Cellphone chimes ] In fact, I need to pick something up related to your surprise. How about a hint? Okay. But only one. This is going to rock your world. You stole the ice princess from luke. You had me plant it on jennifer smith. Why? How do the pieces fit? Well, it…

[ Sighs ] I’m afraid that’sprivileged information I’m not prepared to share. Seeing as how it’s clear your allegiance to me is solely predicated on charlotte’s well-being. There’s a simple solution for that — give me my daughter back. Once charlotte is safe, back with me, you will have my full cooperation. I promise you. I’m afraid, my son, you have to earn my trust. And until you do, I’m keeping charlotte as leverage. I’m also keeping details of my plan secret. I have to go find anna before she comes looking for us. For the good of your long-term plan, let me handle laura. I’m afraid, my boy, that’s a promise I just can’t make. The state can present some strong circumstantial evidence. The evidence is the phone that esme obviously planted. Yes, but jocelyn, unfortunately, I can’t stand in front of a jury and argue that esme prince is a twisted little psychopath who is framing trina. I can swear to that.

[ Scoffs ] Well, thank you, mayor collins, but sadly, esme is not on trial. Yet. It’s going to be my job to cast a negative light on all the evidence against you. Can you? I do see some cracks in the state’s case. And luckily for us, we have one undeniable advantage. And what’s that? You. You are without artifice, trina. You’re a good person, and it shows. And I have no doubt that when you tell your story to the jury, they will believe you. What do you think? Well, I’m in. But this is totally up to you. Okay. No continuance. I have to go to my trial today. Hey, hey, hey! Hey, it’s good. We’re all good here. Son, you know, there’s really no need for all this hostility. Me and this man, we were having a friendly conversation. True? My apologies. You know, I was in law enforcement for a lot of years, so I guess old habits die hard. You’re not cops now? No! I got kicked off the force. Touchy subject. Like I said, jack vouches for us, man.

[ Door slams ] You know, you’re a tough man to track down. We went to your apartment. You weren’t at the bar where you work. I need to lay low for a while. Until the trial is over, right? What trial? The trina robinson trial. And you know what? I’d be worried if I were you, too. About? Testifying. “…That trina’s so brave. She never once broke down while cyrus was holding her and her mother hostage.” Mayor collins, this is excellent. It’s very compelling. And every word is true. Thanks for speaking on my behalf, mayor collins. Everyone knows that you wouldn’t stand up for someone who’s guilty. No, I would not. And I want to do everything I can to put right a horrible wrong. Making sure the jury knows that your family and friends are 100% behind you will go a long way toward convincing that jury that you are innocent. Speaking of family, where is trina’s father? He’s got to be in the courtroom today. Taggert is following up on a lead, and so are curtis and his father. Uh-huh. Do I want to know? It’s best if you have deniability about what they’re doing. And you too, trina. What, really, mom? No. Mnh-mnh. Actually, trina, the less you know, the fewer questions you will have to dodge on the stand. Okay, but what if the da’s office finds out and they put you on the stand or dad and curtis? Sweetheart, let’s not worry about what hasn’t happened. There is one thing I know will happen. Ada arden is going to attack your character, if only to undercut the fact that I am putting you forth as a good kid who would never betray her friend. Cam and I are going to make sure that that doesn’t happen, trina. We’re going to show the jury exactly the kind of person that you are. I know who I am. And I know who my real friends are. And I know you’re going to do great today. And I’m sorry, ladies, but I have to run. I have a meeting at the metro court and then I have to end up at the hospital board. But, sweetheart, don’t you worry. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much for coming and being there for trina. Of course. Absolutely. Any time. Give ’em hell today. Always. Now, ladies, let’s strategize.

[ Indistinct conversations ] Sorry. Watch where you’re going. Back at you. Here, let me… diane: So, a courtroom is like a theater, and the jury is quite literally a captive audience. They have nothing to do but listen and look. And we want to make sure that they see all the right things — that they see trina taking this gross injustice seriously, that they see you standing behind your daughter, concerned, loving, and they see you, her dear, dear friend, who also happens to be one of the victims, not throwing attitude, not rolling her eyes, not shooting dirty looks at the prosecution. Respect is the name of the game.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Oh, this is the hospital. I’m not on call today. Take it, mom. It could be important. Okay. Excuse me. Dr. Robinson. Yes. Taking that, I am going to check in with my office. Excuse me.

[ Sighs ] Hey. Thanks for coming by so early and not holding it against me for ditching you last night. Um, you did not ditch me. I basically had to force you out of there. Look, I needed alone time with my mom, and you needed alone time with rory. I hope it was a good night. You could say that. How good? We kissed.

[ Gasps ] No way! I knew it. I said so! I said that he was into you. Did I not? You did. Yeah. You did. And now you’ve kissed. Four times. So what? Are you guys a thing now?

[ Sighs ] Uh… rory and I can’t even talk about hanging out with the trial about to start. Testify? About what? I’ve never heard of this trina robinson. I had nothing to do with her. Oh. Well then, my mistake. We’re here to buy an unregistered phone. But this upcoming trial, it’s all over the news. And, uh, well, an unregistered phone factors into the case. So I assume that, if you’re the local seller, that the cops might be looking for you. Funny thing, you’re not the first person to ask me about that phone.

[ Scoffs ] Unfortunately, I’m all out of inventory. So you don’t think you should be selling anything right now? Yeah, you got that right. Nice not knowing ya. We can see ourselves out. But… we’ll tell jack you said hi. Uh…

[ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ] So, what was that about? Now — now we’ve learned nothing. Actually, dad… that went according to plan. Okay, the jury is going to realize that you had nothing to do with making this video and then you and rory can be whatever you want. See, that’s the difference between us, joss. You have total confidence that I’ll be found innocent, and I know there’s a chance I won’T. And then what does my future look like? Prison? Have you told this to rory? He knows I have to see what happens with the trial first. And what’s wrong with that? Nothing. I want to trust him. But I’ve been trusting the wrong people lately. Well, what if rory’s the right person? Do you have to go to the hospital? No, no, no. It was just a nurse that wanted a confirmation for a change of medication for one of my patients. But it’s fine. Okay. Back to trina’s case. Who else can attest to trina’s good character? I’ll tell you what. Let me worry about the legal options. You focus on trina — keeping her focused. Keep her from falling apart. My daughter doesn’t fall apart. I understand, of course. It’s wonderful that she has such a strong support system. What happens with your clients when they don’t have a great support system? What happens with them? Well, we’re getting a little off topic. But my daughter is fighting for her future here. I need to prepare. I need to prepare for every eventuality. Of course. Alright. So the pressures of a trial, with the possibility of being wrongfully incarcerated, that — that could break anybody. And especially when you factor in stressors which could bring psychological issues to the surface. Valentin? Laura. Now, you’re not stalking me, are you? Hardly. I have a meeting here with my deputy mayor. But actually, I’m glad I ran into you. There’s something I’d like to discuss with you. Please. The other night, when you spilled that drink on me, what was really going on there? You’ll have to forgive my clumsiness and make sure you send me the dry cleaning bill. Yes, but you’re never clumsy. You’re always in control of yourself. You have impeccable manners. So either you deliberately spilled that drink on me or I don’t know, you’re under some kind of incredible strain. So which one is it? My coordination has not really been the same since I left the hospital. The only time I’ve ever seen you really rattled is when it has something to do with charlotte. Is there reason for concern? If there were, you’d be the first to know. I will always prioritize charlotte’s well-being, no matter what the cost. Well, I don’t doubt that.

I miss charlotte a lot. But she does seem to be enjoying her time in boarding school. Probably just as well she’s not in port charles right now. That was my rationale, though I’m surprised you agree.

[ Scoffs ] Well, I know that she got very close to the quartermaines when you were living at their house. And now that you’re fighting with them about elq, I think, you know, it’s probably just best that she’s not here to get caught in the middle of all that. The quartermaines have nothing to complain about. Under my watch, elq will continue to grow and profit. Except that you’ve maneuvered them to fight with each other. Excuse me, laura, we have to go. What are you doing? Stop it! Stop it! What the hell is wrong with you? Tipping off our one and only lead that we suspect him of selling that phone to esme, that’s a good thing? No. It was a long shot, you know, getting this bartender to give us anything. We need proof that he sold the phone to esme, so… if people are asking questions and he’s feeling the heat…

[ Snaps fingers ] Bam. He’s gonna have some questions of his own for the buyer. And hopefully lead us to him or her. Boy…

[ Keychain jingles ] Has stress caused any of your other clients to develop previously undiagnosed mental issues? Portia, are you actually concerned that trina won’t be able to handle the pressure of this trial? No, no, no, no, no, I’m not. I’m just trying to get the facts. You know, remembering when I went to medical school in my psych rotation

[Chuckles] We didn’t really go over stressors. Well, anything I tell you would be purely anecdotal. But the psychological stress of a trial, I-I mean, that could bring about some serious mental health issues. I get it — your daughter has been unjustly accused, so of course you’re worried. But as we’ve already talked about, trina’s got this astonishing support system, and there aren’t any family medical issues to worry about, right? All good. Have you, uh, come to make another unjustified arrest or… taking a witness statement.

[ Sighs ] What about you? It’s none of your business. You sure about that? Yeah, I am. Because you have done enough to insert yourself into my life.

[ Scoffs ] What does that mean? Forget it. Have a lousy day. That’s your M.O., Isn’t it, cassadine? You talk tough, but when it comes time to step up, you walk away. Sometimes walking away is the best option. Instead of further complicating people’s lives. But you wouldn’t know a thing about that, would you? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have kissed trina last night.

[ Door opens ] Esme, sorry. I, uh, I didn’t mean to startle you. I was looking for spencer. Oh, spence had to run out. I don’t know where. Everything okay? He says he’s working on a surprise for me, but I know better than that. I think he’s just using it as an excuse to get away from me to deal with his feelings for trina. Do I sound like a broken record? No, you sound like someone who’s in pain. I suggested we fly off to someplace romantic, but it’s not to be. But you’re still hanging in there? Of course. I love him. It’s all the more reason not to tell him what happened between us. Then there’d be no hope of salvaging my relationship. Oh, to say nothing of your marriage to ava and relationship with spence. The fallout would be monumental. Especially the longer we keep our little secret under wraps. I’d ask how you are, but I think I already know. I’m actually feeling a lot better now that you’re here. Once we’re in the courtroom, you have to keep your personal feelings about ava jerome off your face. Oh, don’t worry. I’m a pro at doing that by now. Diane, hello. Have you joined trina’s defense team? Ava, I am the defense team. Scott baldwin was called out of the country on a family emergency. Ms. Miller has agreed to take trina’s case, and we’re very grateful. Did you call ava as one of my character witnesses? Uh, no, no. Ava’s name is not on the list that scott baldwin provided. Well, I offered, of course, but scott was concerned that maybe it wouldn’t have the desired effect, given certain elements of my history. The important thing is that you’re in court with us. Trina, is there anything else that I can do to help? You testifying on my behalf is enough. The evidence against trina is circumstantial. No one saw her make the tape. No one saw her post it. So our best shot is convincing the jury that that act was completely against trina’s character. I have to appear before judge young and finalize the attorney substitution. Just remember, trina. All we have to do is prove reasonable doubt. And I’m going to walk you out because I have a few more questions. Reasonable doubt isn’t your only option, though, is it? Josslyn: Trina?

[ Scoffs ] What is she talking about? Months ago, trina told me that she had evidence that — that proves her innocence. Evidence that she’s been keeping to herself. Sweetheart… I think it’s time you tell us what that evidence is. Consequences be damned.

Laura, I’m sorry.I didn’t mean to manhandle you. If you’re keeping something from me, and especially if it has something to do with charlotte — I just miss my daughter.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] Is there a problem? Ugh. Yes, that’s my deputy mayor. There was a miscommunication. She’s waiting for me with the hospital board over at G.H., So I have to go. Take care of yourself. You do the same.

[ Ferry horn blares ]

[ Sighs ] Is he — he leaving town? No. That dock is for the launch to wyndemere. Let’s hope the truth never has to come out. It happened. It’s over. Let’s move on. So, are there, uh, any updates on my being able to see ryan chamberlain again? Sorry. Spring ridge wasn’t impressed by my throwing the cassadine name around. So there’s nothing else you can do?

[ Sighs ] I might have some connections with the G.H. Board of directors, and it’s possible that they have enough sway to override kevin. Thank you, nicholas. It’s a long shot. It’s something. And it means the world to me that you even tried. Trina, what evidence is she talking about? Trina, I don’t want to betray your confidence, but this is too important to keep a secret, right? Trina told me that she has proof that she did not send the tape of you and cam to the pcu student body. But by bringing that evidence to light, she would also bring down an innocent party. You told me that you would tell scott if your case went to trial. Well, here we are. Well, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I agree with ava. Okay. It’s not a magic bullet. It was just wishful thinking on my part. Oh, my god. My necklace that my dad gave me for my 18th birthday. I-I wanted to wear it for the trial. I left it at the gallery. No, no. I have it. I brought it to wyndemere for safekeeping. It’s — I’ll go get it for you. Would you? I owe you a thousand favors in return. No, no, no. Just one. Tell diane what you haven’t told the rest of us.

[ Door closes ] What’s that look for? Well, you just very conveniently changed the subject to get ava to leave. Trina, why didn’t you say anything about finding evidence that could help you? Because it doesn’t conclusively prove my innocence. Okay. But don’t you think that’s up to diane and the jury to decide? Can it help you? It might. Trina. I mean, your best friends and your family and everybody that cares about you is going to bat for you. And this is how you thank us? By holding back? I mean, what’s wrong with you?

[ Exhales sharply ] I have an alibi for when the sex tape was posted. I was with someone.

[ Scoffs ] Why didn’t you say anything before? Who were you with? Spencer. What business is it of yours what trina and I do? It’s not like you tried to hide it. I was crossing through the park on the 4th of july, and I saw the two of you having a picnic. You’re such a hypocrite. You know that? You come off as officer “by-the-book,” and then you turn around and you kiss a defendant that is about to go on trial. I know the rules. I’m not breaking any of them. No. Just bending them into pretzels. Okay. You’re obviously not worried about my career. So this is about trina, except you have a girlfriend. So why do you care who trina spends her time with?

[ Knock at door ] You got my text. Only to say you were coming. What the hell are you doing here? I want to know why everyone in town is asking questions about you. Marshall: Wyndemere. Isn’t that where esme prince lives? So what are we waiting on? Why don’t we go over there and catch up with the bartender? Wyndemere’s private property. If we catch the launch out there, the guards will tip esme off that we’re coming. What we need is someone there who can help us out. Hmm. Oh, hiya, gents. Going my way? Josslyn: Spencer. Were you visiting him at spring ridge? I don’t understand. There’d be a record of your visit. Why keep something like that a secret? Because I wasn’t at spring ridge. But spencer was still serving his sentence when the video came out, so… oh, my god. That privileged little tool. Believe me, I called him worse. Spencer wasn’t at spring ridge. Right? And you caught him. And he won’t come forward and give you an alibi, because then he’d be busted for violating his sentence. And then he’d probably get sent to pentonville. God, what a coward. Okay, it’s not like that, joss. Besides, the prosecution can always accuse me of scheduling the release of the sex tape ahead of time. I didn’t have to actually physically post it at the time it was sent. It still gives you a reasonable doubt. I’ve been sitting on this for months, and I told myself I would only use it if it looked like I was found guilty.

[ Door opens ] You have to use it, trina. I mean, this could be a game changer. Portia: What’s the game changer? I don’t care who trina spends her time with. But trina was a good friend to me at one point, so, uh… if you do hurt her… you’ll answer to me. Last I checked, I’m not the one who hurt her. A sniper? Are you insane? I told you I could handle laura. You had your flunky, the assistant mayor, lure laura out here. That setup was so obvious, you should have hung a banner. The situation was well in hand. You should have stayed out of it. Listen, killing laura is the wrong play. How many fires did you have to put out when luke died? You think that hannah and the pcpd won’t go to the ends of the earth to prove that you killed laura, as well?

There are other ways

to neutralize laura. Ways that don’t involve spilling blood. And just how exactly do you propose we do that? It’s already done. Nicholas. Hey. Everything okay? Everything’s fine, yeah. Uh, in fact, I’m glad I ran into you. I wanted to update you about what’s happening between kevin and esme.

[ Cellphone rings ] Sorry. Sorry. I have to check this. Oh, I got to take this. Ciao, marcello. How’s my mother doing?

[ Dramatic music plays ] What? Oh, my god, no!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Eric: We should try to find sami.

Roman: You do that. I’ll stay in case she comes back here.

Eric: Okay, good idea. I can see her deciding she needs you now.

Roman: Yeah, okay.

[Pensive music]

What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be at the police station with lucas?

Lucas: You have to listen to me. I would never take a knife and stab my own niece!

Chad: Yeah? Then what is that?

Sami: Ej, I really need to talk to you.

Ej: [Sighs] What are you doing?

Belle: I can’t let her find me in here.

Sami: Come on, ej. I know you’re in there.

Ej: What are you doing here, samantha? Why aren’t you with lucas?

Sami: Well, I would’ve been, except…

[Scoffs] Ah, look at what we have here. Who does this belong to?

Allie: I was so happy today. I started to cry when dad was reading the vows that he wrote. I thought, wow, imagine having two parents happy at the same time. Mom looked so beautiful till she found out– till we all found out–that dad was the one who kidnapped her.

[Sighs]

Will: Yeah, it was quite the wedding.

Allie: Non-wedding. Will… chad was wrong, wasn’t he? Not about the kidnapping, but dad didn’t kill abigail. That couldn’t have happened. That just can’t be true, right? Will.

Chad: Tell me, how did you get this cut on your hand?

Lucas: I don’t know!

Chad: Well, that seems like a pretty deep cut to remember that kind of pain.

Lucas: Ow! I told you I was–

Chad: What? What, drunk? You were blackout drunk, huh? Okay, let me see if I can help you recover your memory, lucas. Huh? Were you holding a knife too tight when you stabbed my wife to death?

Lucas: You don’t understand!

Chad: While she was trying to fight for her life, huh?

Lucas: You better listen to me!

Chad: I am listening to you, but you wouldn’t tell me what I need to know!

Rafe: Damn it, chad! Not again!

Chad: You don’t know what he did!

Rafe: I do know what he did! I know. I know because johnny told me he kidnapped sami.

Chad: Yeah, he admitted to that, but he hasn’t admitted to murdering my wife. But he will!

Rafe: Chad.

Roman: So don’t tell me they let lucas go already.

Kate: Um, no, he’s– he’s at the station still.

Roman: Then why did you come back?

Chad: Rafe’s gonna ask me how I put the pieces together to come up with lucas.

Kate: [Scoffs] So you’re going to tell him that I told lucas that abigail knew, right?

Chad: You better get roman ready for what’s coming.

Kate: Mm-hmm. I need to talk to you about lucas.

Eric: Sami, will you let me know you’re all right? If you don’t want to talk, just text me that you’re okay.

[Hangs up]

Nicole: Eric?

Eric: Nicole.

Nicole: What are you doing here? Hang on, are you okay? Sami just got married, and yet, you seem pretty sad. Why aren’t you at the reception?

Eric: Because there won’t be a reception. Because there wasn’t a wedding.

Sami: So whose is this?

Ej: None of your business, mrs. Horton.

Sami: Never mind. I already know whose it is.

[Sighs]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Allie: Will, this is where you’re supposed to say, “of course not. Dad could never kill anybody,” unless you think he could.

Will: No, I don’t think he could ever kill anyone unless he was drunk.

Allie: Okay, well, he’s sober and he has been for– will, no.

Will: Yeah, he had a slip. He told me this morning. He also told me that after he came to, he called his sponsor. And he’s been going to meetings.

Allie: Okay, well, when was this slip? I mean, it could’ve been months ago. He’s been under so much stress, like with– it wasn’t months ago, was it?

Will: No.

Lucas: I had a slip. I mean, I don’t even know if that’s what you call it these days, you know, when you’re blacked out drunk. But when I came to, my hand– my hand was a mess.

Will: I’m sorry.

Lucas: Yeah, me too.

Will: You’ve been sober for so long. Do you know why this happened? The only reason he told me is because I saw this cut on his hand, and it was recent, ’cause he still had the bandage. And I asked how it happened, and he said he didn’t remember.

Allie: Because he was drunk.

Will: Yeah.

Allie: And when he said that he “came to,” he was blacked out? And you think that he got the cut the same night that abigail died?

Will: [Sighs]

Rafe: You– you have to get out of here. You have to let me do my job. Now you can really screw things up here. Do you want to screw things up? I don’t think you want to screw things up, do you?

Chad: No, I don’T.

Rafe: Then let’s go. Don’t go anywhere. You need to tell me what the hell is going on here. Now listen, johnny told me that lucas admitted to kidnapping sami, but that does not make him a murderer. He had no earthly reason to kill abigail.

Chad: Yes, he did. Abigail knew. Abigail knew what lucas had done.

Sami: I know you’re in there, nicole.

Ej: Samantha, this is none of your business!

Sami: Get off me, ej! Come out, you cheating whore! Let go of me!

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Nicole: I can’t believe it. Chad accused lucas of killing abigail?

Eric: At the top of his lungs, in front of the entire church.

Nicole: Oh, poor guy. Chad, I mean. Rafe told me that he had to tell chad he had to let clyde weston go.

Eric: Yeah, well, chad mentioned that. Actually, he screamed it at lucas. But is rafe for sure? Because given weston’s history, we know he’s capable of paying to get an alibi.

Nicole: There’s timestamped evidence accounting for clyde weston’s whereabouts. And are you ready for this?

Eric: What?

Nicole: At the time of the murder, clyde weston was fishing.

Eric: Fishing? With lil’ opie and barney? I mean, sorry, this is not the time to be funny.

Nicole: No, no. I guess when chad found out it wasn’t clyde, he lost it.

Eric: Yeah, you could say that.

Nicole: But still, I mean, why in god’s name would he think it was lucas? Lucas loved abigail, and she was jennifer’s daughter. I…

Eric: Unfortunately, there’s more. It turns out that abigail was aware that lucas is the one who, um–

Nicole: Lucas was the one who what?

[Scoffs] What could lucas have done that he’d kill abigail to cover it up?

Eric: Lucas admitted he was the one who kidnapped sami.

Nicole: Oh.

Will: I don’t know exactly when dad got drunk. He just told me he felt guilty about mom.

Allie: You knew he kidnapped her and you still stood up for him at the wedding?

Will: No, obviously dad didn’t tell me he kidnapped mom. He had some sob story about how he should’ve stopped her from skiing, and because he didn’t, she broke her leg, and then, months after the fact, that that drove him to drink.

Allie: Great, so he’s lying again, too.

Will: I think I kind of knew it was a lie when he said it. You know, I could feel something was really wrong.

Allie: That it was his cover story. I mean, I can understand why he wouldn’t want to share with you that he kidnapped our mother.

Will: Yeah, it’s clearly eating him up.

Allie: I hope so. I mean, did you see what he put her through?

Will: I think the part he dreaded the most, even more than going to prison, was that mom might know that he did it, right? And so, when he found out that abigail knew that he did it…

Allie: He killed her to keep her quiet. No, no, I don’t believe that even dead drunk, dad would ever do anything like that.

Rafe: Look, let me get this straight. You knew that lucas had kidnapped sami. But you didn’t come to the police even though you knew your brother was serving time for something that he didn’t do? No, no, you just told your wife.

Chad: Okay, whatever. Lock me up then, but do not let him get away with murder.

Rafe: Okay, you know what, chad, let me tell you something. There is a step missing here, okay? Unless he knew that she knew what he had done.

Chad: Yeah, he did, and I found that out today.

Rafe: And how did he know that?

Chad: Kate told him.

Roman: Look, kate, I– I really don’t know what there is to say about lucas. He kidnapped sami. He put her through hell.

Kate: I know.

Roman: And as much as I want to beat the crap out of him for what he did to sami, I just hope to god he didn’t have anything to do with what happened to abigail for your sake.

Kate: Roman, I am so, so sorry.

Roman: For what? I mean, what did you do? You’re not responsible for what lucas did.

Kate: I’m responsible for what I did.

[Sighs]

[Sniffles] I knew what lucas had done, and I didn’t tell you.

Ej: Damn it, sami, I don’t want to throw you out on your ass, but I will!

Sami: Come on out, nicole! It took you less time to cheat on rafe than it did on eric!

Ej: Okay, that’s it.

Sami: Oh, ow! All right, stay in the bathroom. I’m gonna go tell rafe! You’re such a coward, nicole!

Belle: Wait, wait. You know what, you’re wrong as usual. It’s not nicole.

Migraine attacks?

Sami: You–you slept with my sister?

Ej: You have nothing to say about this.

Sami: The hell I don’t!

Ej: You divorced me. I’m not your husband anymore.

Sami: She’s still my sister. I cannot believe how disgusting this is. But you know, don’t you, because that’s why you were hiding in the bathroom!

Belle: No, I went into the bathroom because I could not stomach another one of your self-indulgent tantrums, and I came out of the bathroom to spare rafe and nicole from having to deal with you.

Sami: Oh, stop it with your moral high ground, your high-handedness. You are unbelievable! I mean, here you two are, lying, sneaking around town, telling people, “oh, I’m just friend with belle. She’s just my lawyer.” You two had to take your clothes off to go over some torts?

Belle: No, that’s not why we took our clothes off. But the fact that we kept our private life private doesn’t mean we’re sneaking around or lying. We’re not doing anything wrong.

Sami: Well, you are cheating on your husband.

Belle: No, shawn and i are separated.

Sami: Aw, you’re on a break?

Belle: Oh, my god. Why do you even care? And like ej said, why are you even here, sami? Aren’t you supposed to be getting married to lucas tonight? Ej: Maybe his mummy grounded him.

Sami: You know what, fine. Enjoy yourselves. Just remember, he’s only sleeping with you to get back at me.

Ej: Okay, that’s it. You’re coming with me.

Sami: Ha, told you so.

[Tense music]

Rafe: So kate told lucas that abigail knew he kidnapped sami?

Chad: That’s right.

Rafe: Okay. And how did you know that?

Chad: Kate told me.

Rafe: So once again, you decided to take matters into your own hands? Instead of coming here to the police, you went to the church.

Chad: Like I said, arrest me for disturbing the peace or obstruction of justice, but do not let lucas get away with murder.

Rafe: I won’T. That is, if he did it. But kidnapping sami is a far cry from brutally murdering his own niece. I’m sorry, I just don’t think that lucas is capable of that.

Chad: No, if he was sober, but he wasn’T.

Roman: So what do you mean you knew what lucas had done?

Kate: I knew that lucas was the one who had sami kidnapped.

Roman: Okay, let me get this straight. Okay, you knew this, you didn’t tell anyone? My daughter spent months not knowing where she was, what the hell was gonna happen to her, not knowing whether she’d ever see her children again.

Kate: I didn’t know that then, I knew that after.

Roman: Oh, after what, lucas rescued her?

Kate: Roman, if I had known she was in danger, I would tell you.

Roman: Well, she kind of was in danger, kate. She went on this grand tour to europe with the sociopath who kidnapped her. She was gonna marry the sociopath who kidnapped her.

Kate: That’s my son, okay? I had already lost philip, and I didn’t want to lose lucas.

Roman: Oh, philip. Right, right, right. Okay, on new year’s eve, all right, when you told me the truth about him, you said to me that you didn’t want there to be any secrets between us. That meant a lot to me, kate, and now, it turns out to be just another one of your lies.

Nicole: It was lucas who kidnapped sami?

Eric: Well, he was denying it, and then later he admitted it.

Nicole: Wow, this is crazy. I mean, I feel sorry for everyone involved. I feel sorry for sami.

Eric: It was awful all the way around.

Nicole: Wait a minute, that means ej was innocent this whole time.

Eric: Yeah.

Nicole: How’s sami?

Eric: I don’t know. I don’t know where she is. She won’t talk to me.

Nicole: Well, don’t worry too much, okay? Sami always lands on her feet.

Sami: I swear, damn all of them. I’m going, ej. I’m just going.

Ej: No, don’t!

Sami: What?

Ej: Don’t!

Sami: Listen, okay? I meant everything I said. Have at it with belle. Sleep with anyone you want to, okay? Tell belle tell you all the horrible stories about everything I’ve done to her my entire life.

Ej: You know, you were so bloody horrible just now, so bloody irritating…

Sami: I don’t need this.

Ej: But I didn’t stop to realize… that you wouldn’t have come here tonight if something wasn’t terribly wrong.

Sami: What? No, nothing’s wrong. Just came to share some wedding cake with you–

Ej: Damn it, samantha. Tell me what happened. Why aren’t you with lucas at your wedding?

Sami: There was no wedding. I didn’t marry lucas.

Ej: Well, um, good. But why?

Sami: Because you were right.

[Sighs] So I came here to– to tell you the big news that… lucas is the one who kidnapped me. My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Allie: No. Even if dad was drunk, there’s no way that he would hurt abigail. He would never hurt anybody, I mean, you know how much the horton family means to him. Okay, obviously, you’re not saying what you’re thinking. Don’t you think at least you and I can be honest with each other?

Will: Look what he did to her. Right? Dad loves mom, but he kept her prisoner for months.

Allie: Okay, to protect her from ej. I know. No, you’re right. That was just an excuse. It was horrible what he did.

Will: And if he doesn’t remember cutting his hand, what else does he not remember? I mean, allie, if you told me earlier today, is dad capable of kidnapping mom, I would’ve said no way. But he did to keep her away from ej. He did something so horrible, so desperate to keep from losing her, and when she agreed to marry him, the stakes just got even higher.

Allie: And once again, he had to do something crazy and desperate so that he didn’t lose her.

Will: I think he might have.

Nicole: So sami found out she was going to marry a kidnapper.

[Sighs] Would’ve loved to have seen that.

Eric: I thought you felt sorry for her.

Nicole: I–I mean, I do, as a woman and as a human being, but as sami brady, after everything she’s done to me– oh, you’ve gotta grant me a little schadenfreude.

Eric: Nicole, I know there’s no loss between the two of you, but can you just kinda bury the hatchet, at least for today?

Nicole: Well, maybe you could’ve told her that because she was such a bitch to me a few hours ago.

Sami: If anyone’s making a really big mistake in their life, it’s rafe. Marrying you? When are you gonna start slutting around behind his back the way you did with eric?

Kate: On–on new year’s eve, I didn’t know about what lucas had done.

Roman: When did you find out?

Kate: January 5th.

Roman: Wow. Kudos, kate. So our no secrets agreement lasted a total of five days, and then there was, you know, another secret.

Kate: Roman… I was scared for lucas. I was afraid of losing lucas.

Roman: Yeah, you didn’t want lucas locked up, but it was fine for my daughter.

Kate: No. Because sami was free, and not that I condone what he did, because I don’t, but it was over.

Roman: Kate, damn it, it wasn’t over. He was the same dangerous, unbalanced man that kidnapped her. Do you think the kidnapping was just a slip? How many times does lucas get to slip? Over, and over, and over.

Kate: Roman–

Roman: And you forgive him, and excuse him, and cover for him over and over and over.

Kate: I’m sorry, roman.

Roman: No, no, I get it. You’re afraid of losing him. But even so, don’t you think sami deserves some kind of heads up, kate, before she went around the world with this guy? Like, “sami,” you know, “watch your step.” You know, “don’t get on lucas’ bad side, he just may have a little slip, and you may end up in a quaint little dungeon in europe.

Kate: Okay, please don’t do that. Lucas loves sami.

Roman: Oh, yeah.

Kate: Lucas would never hurt sami.

Roman: Like philip loves chloe? Kate, did you ever stop to notice that people get hurt when your boys start to like women? Okay, there’s a lot of collateral damage, and yes, lucas is fragile, and he needs his mother’s motherly love, so ej, why don’t you go off to prison for what he did? Kate, you think I’m mad? What the hell do you think ej’s gonna do when he finds out about this? I wouldn’t wanna be in your shoes, and I sure as hell wouldn’t wanna be in lucas’.

Ej: Lucas had you kidnapped. Are you sure?

Sami: He admitted it. He also admitted that he’s the one who planted the evidence against you. He–he is the one who put the evidence on the dimera computers.

[Dramatic music]

All this time, I was travelling the world with my kidnapper. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead, gloat. I deserve it.

Ej: No. No. What lucas did was… unspeakable.

Sami: Well, that’s certainly an understatement, I mean, he put you in prison for a crime he committed.

Ej: That wasn’t the worst thing that he did to me. He kidnapped you to split us up. And when you came back… we were going to start over. You were ready to get past what happened between nicole and me. When rafe turned up and arrested me… if lucas hadn’t framed me… we would’ve gotten back together.

Sami: [Sighs] Now that can never happen.

Ej: No?

Sami: I thought sleeping with nicole was the worst thing you could ever do. Well, I was wrong. Sleeping with my sister is worse. Time. It’s life’s most precious commodity,

Will: [Sighs] I’m sorry. I–I mean, I hope I’m wrong.

Allie: Yeah, but maybe you’re right. I mean, we now know that he did something crazy when he was sober, so who knows what he did when he was drunk? Okay, but I can’t think about him right now because I’m really worried about mom, and i don’t think she should be alone.

Will: Okay. You gonna go to her?

Allie: Yeah. You wanna come?

Will: No, I, um– I think I’m gonna go check on dad.

Rafe: So will told you that lucas was drinking again?

Chad: So much so that he blacked out. And he doesn’t remember how he got that cut on his hand. And I don’t think cutting his hand is the only thing he doesn’t remember from that night.

Eric: So what did sami give you a hard time about?

Nicole: [Sighs] You know, the same old, same old.

Eric: [Chuckles] Well, she was riding high before the wedding. Look, I don’t know how she’s gonna get over this. She almost married the man who kidnapped her and who might be a murderer.

Nicole: Eric, do you really think it’s possible that lucas killed abigail? I mean, even if he was drunk, I still don’t think he’s capable of it.

Eric: Either did I. But I also didn’t think that lucas was capable of kidnapping my sister.

Ej: Samantha, please. Until you showed up tonight, I thought I’d lost you forever. But things are different now.

Sami: No, they aren’T. They aren’t different. They are exactly the same.

Ej: Samantha–

Roman: So you were comfortable with letting ej sit in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Wow. You know, I’m not a big fan of ej’s, not at all, but I even gotta say, that is pretty low.

Kate: Roman, I felt terrible about it.

Roman: Yeah, but not terrible enough to do something.

Kate: It wasn’t that simple.

Roman: It was exactly that simple.

Kate: No, it wasn’T. Because chad was involved, and I had to protect him. And I didn’t let ej just rot in prison, because I was the one who lead belle to the evidence that got him out.

Roman: Oh, why didn’t you say so? So now we definitely have to give you a gold star.

Kate: [Sighs]

Roman: Kate–

Kate: [Sighs]

Roman: None of this changes the fact that you were fine with trading sami’s safety for your son’S.

Kate: She was safe, roman.

Roman: Yeah, just like abigail was.

Kate: Oh, god, don’t say that, don’t say that. Lucas did not do that. Lucas could not have done that, okay, that was–that was chad. He was just digging his grave.

Roman: Okay, all right. Look, I apologize. I shouldn’t have said that. I’m sorry.

Kate: No, it’s okay. Really, it’s okay. You know. You’re right, I was wrong. What I did was wrong. I know that, and I think I’m– part of me knew that the entire time, you know, that I was just–I was in it so deep, roman, and it went on so long. I was just really afraid that if you found out the truth… I would lose you.

Roman: You were right about that.

Kate: What do you mean?

Roman: The two of us… we’re done.

Kate: [Sighs, sniffles] What happens to your body language

Rafe: Well, thanks for bringing me up to speed.

Chad: You’re gonna get him to confess, right?

Rafe: Chad, you’ve gotta let me handle this.

Chad: You looking for your father? He’s in there. With rafe. He’s questioning him. About what he did to my wife.

Lucas: What did chad tell you?

Rafe: Forget about chad. I need to ask you some questions.

Ej: What are you doing?

Belle: What does it look like I’m doing? I’m leaving.

Allie: Mom.

Sami: What are you doing here?

Allie: I was looking for you. Are you okay?

Sami: No.

Allie: Oh, mom.

Sami: No, I’m not okay.

[Sobbing] I was on an antidepressant,

Chad: I wanted you to hear it from me that… I told rave that you told me about your father’s drinking.

Will: Not surprising. You told a church full of people that he kidnapped my mom.

Chad: Well, you told me in confidence. But it’s evidence, so I had to tell rafe.

Will: Yeah, no, I– you gotta do what you gotta do. And I gotta stand by my dad. Were you about to leave?

Chad: Yeah.

Will: Then why don’t you get going? Looks like I’m gonna be here for a while.

Rafe: The night abigail was murdered, were you drinking?

Lucas: Yes.

Rafe: Did you kill her?

Lucas: Come on, rafe.

Rafe: Just answer the question. Did you kill abigail dimera?

Lucas: I do not remember. I don’t remember anything from that night.

Kate: Roman… you don’t mean that. I mean, I know that what I did was terrible. Please, I know we can work it out.

Roman: No. I want you to leave.

Kate: Okay, okay.

Roman: No.

[Sighs] Get your stuff. I want you out of here.

Kate: [Scoffs] Roman.

Roman: Goodbye, kate.

Eric: I ‘m really sorry, but I need to go find sami.

Nicole: Okay, maybe you should check with ej.

Eric: What–what is that supposed to mean?

Nicole: It means that the sami I know always goes running back to him.

Ej: Belle, look, I know that must’ve been painful, but she’s gone now.

Belle: Oh, okay. So, what? We just get back into bed and act like nothing ever happened?

Ej: No, no, I’m not saying that, I’m just saying you don’t have to go.

Belle: Oh, my god, ej, of course I have to go. It can’t work between us. I thought for a brief time that maybe it could, but now i know I was just deluding myself.

Ej: Is this because of samantha? Stupid question, how could it not be?

Belle: No.

Ej: I’m sorry.

Belle: It’s not a stupid question. I actually thought that I could be happy with you, in spite of knowing how much that was gonna hurt my sister, but, you know, even as much as I resent her, and, I mean, sometimes, I despise her, she is my sister. And when she’s in pain like that it just hurts me.

Ej: I understand that.

Belle: I know you do. And even if I didn’t know that you still had feelings for her, I would just… I’d feel her presence in my mind’s eye, just watching and judging everything, and, god, relationships are hard enough without adding that kind of complication.

Ej: Hm. So… are you going back to shawn?

Belle: I don’t know what’s gonna happen with shawn. That’s complicated, too, obviously. I think I just need to keep things simple for a while, even if that just means being alone. You were there for me when i really needed you, and I will always be grateful for that.

Ej: And I’ll be grateful, too. For everything you’ve done for me. And for all the good times that we’ve had together.

Sami: Oh, sweetheart, I’m sorry. [Sobs] I’m so sorry. This is really embarrassing.

Allie: No, no, no, no. I think–hey, I think it’s human, and look, I know how tough you are. You’re so strong. But I think that tonight… it’s okay if you fall apart. Okay?

Sami: It was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, and it…

[Sobs] Oh, allie. I’m so sorry.

Allie: No.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Brooke: Guthrie. The head guard’s name is guthrie?

Deputy chief baker: Yeah. The head guard on duty when sheila escaped.

Ridge: What’s going on?

Brooke: I’m not sure. Just… there’s something about that name.

Sheila: You’ve got to do this for me. My son needs his meds, mike. I do it myself, but it’s too risky.

Mike: How about I get you a wig? Wouldn’t mind seeing you as a redhead.

Shelia: I’m an escaped convict. I’m not really sure a wig is–

Mike: Escaped, thanks to me. Feels like you should be doing me the favors, not the other way around. Why do I even come over here? Why do I let you talk me into this? If I get in any kind of trouble, sheila.

Sheila: No, you’re not. You’re going to be okay. I’m the one that they’re after. They– they don’t suspect you. They never would. Please do this for me. Do this for my son.

Eric: Well, since you’re already keeping your engagement ring, to which I have no objection. I see no reason for us to throw a lot of money at lawyers, since we can hammer this whole thing out ourselves.

Quinn: Oh, and i don’t disagree with you–

Eric: Good.

Quinn: At all. I just– I just want to make sure I’m being smart about this. I don’t think you’re going to take advantage of me. But I also didn’t think you would have an affair on me. And you did. Really, eric? I mean, you’re really leaving me for donna?

Pam: Best day ever. I don’t know what I’m more excited about. That you’re back with eric or back at forrester.

Donna: I’m pretty excited about both myself. And I’m counting on you to fill me in about everything around here.

Pam: Oh, I will.

Charlie: Here you go, kiddo.

Donna: My badge. Thank you, charlie. Oh. But little mistake, it says donna forrester.

Charlie: Yeah, well, I’m just saving myself the headache of making a new one when you and eric re-nuptialize

Pam: Which we’re hoping is real, real soon.

Pam: I used to think you were so wrong for eric. And you were when stephanie was alive. But so much has changed. I can see now how devoted you are to him. Heck of a lot more devoted than you know who. That’s for sure.

Charlie: See pammy, likes to avoid saying you know who’s name.

Pam: The wicked witch of forrester.

Charlie: All right, look, she’s still going to be parking her broom here at the office. But it is such a relief to know that it won’t be… as the boss’ wife.

Quinn: Donna, of all people. Seriously, eric?

Eric: Let’s continue this another time. Hello wyatt.

Quinn: Oh, that’s okay. Wyatt already knows everything about us.

Wyatt: Mom, um weren’t you saying how you wanted this divorce to be amicable? Let’s– let’s just stay the course, okay?

Quinn: As things turn out wyatt, things can be both amicable and humiliating.

Eric: I never meant to hurt you quinn, truly. As I know you didn’t mean to hurt me when you fell in love with carter.

Quinn: Well, that doesn’t make it any less difficult, eric. Especially now that I have to see donna here at work every day. I’m not particularly thrilled with her being reinstated.

Wyatt: Mom [Cough] Amicle.

Eric: Well, let’s have our attorneys talk then. I’ll be more than fair. We had a beautiful marriage, wonderful memories. I’d hate for a divorce to tarnish that.

Quinn: Donna. Donna.

Wyatt: Yeah.

Ridge: So, does this guthrie guy have any idea of what happened?

Deputy chief baker: He says he has no idea what went wrong.

Ridge: Oh, okay.

Deputy chief baker: Well, I’ve got ah, his statement. His transcript. It is a public statement, if you’re interested in reading it.

Ridge: Sure.

Brooke: Well, there’s got to be some clue. Something to tell us how sheila possibly could have escaped.

Sheila: You know how grateful I am. I owe you big time.

Mike: Yeah. For this and so much more. I don’t know how many crazy things I’ve done over the years for love.

Sheila: Love?

Mike: Oh, come on, sheila. Don’t pretend you don’t know how I feel about you. How I’ve always felt.

[Finn moans]

Mike: He’s conscious?

[Finn moans]

Mike: He’s been awake this whole time, listening in?

Pam: Ready! Ta da!

Donna: What’s this?

Pam: I know you had to clean out your side of the desk when you left. So, I ordered you a new stapler and some of those stupid pens that you like. But I didn’t want you coming back without your favorite office supply.

Donna: Pammy. Oh, thank you. How sweet. “Sweet.” Wait. I swear I didn’t mean that as a bad pun. I did not.

Pam: But it was.

Eric: Well, I’m loving this. The most talented reception team in all of the fashion industry. Together again.

Pam: And about darn tootin time.

Eric: I agree with that.

Ridge: That’s it? That’s the whole transcript? All he says is, “I don’t know. I don’t recall.”

Brooke: He was in charge of that shift, but he takes no responsibility at all.

Ridge: We just want to know how sheila escaped.

Deputy chief baker: That’s what we all want to know.

Finn: Ma… you there?

Sheila: Did you hear that pain in his voice? I need you to take this list of meds and get back as soon as possible. Come on. Go.

Finn: Mom? Ma?

Sheila: Hey.

Finn: Who–who was that?

Sheila: It was a friend who’s going to bring you medication.

Finn: He said he… helped you escape. Why? Why were you there?

Sheila: Because of what I did to you. But you know what? It’s a good thing that I got out. I get to take care of you. I know I can’t make up for what I did to you. But just knowing that I brought you back.

Finn: Thank you.

Sheila: I am going to make you whole again. All right. It may take a while. But you are going to have that wonderful life again.

Finn: Steffy.

Sheila: Yes, with steffy. I’m going to make that happen. I’m going to re unite you with steffy and your son. And when that happens, I truly hope you see how much I really love you. And this is a– this is a big risk for me because I could end up back in prison. Oh, I don’t know, who knows– maybe that’s where I belong. I’d be okay with that as long as I know you’re– you’re healthy and happy.

Finn: I need… to talk.

Sheila: What?

Finn: I need to talk to steffy. I need to see her. See– see my son. Now. For copd,

Charlie: Adios amigos!

Pam: Okay. See you later.

Charlie: Okay.

Donna: Duty calls!

Charlie: Hey– hey, boss. You done good?

Pam: Yes, you have. And I am so proud of you, eric. I know you thought the world of quinn and I tried to respect that. But now that I have the freedom to finally say it, she’s a lunatic. And I am so happy that you’re finally free of her.

Quinn: Don’t misunderstand me, wyatt. I don’t want eric back. I love carter. I’m happy that things are starting up with us again.

Wyatt: Okay, so what exactly is starting up again? Like, what kind of commitment do you guys have?

Quinn: You mean what labels are we putting on it? We’re… not– we’re not talking about marriage or specifics about our future. We’re just taking things as they come right now. We’re just enjoying our ride.

Wyatt: Okay. So, you’re able to let it go when it comes to your own love life. But when it comes to eric’s, those expectations are through the roof? Come on, mom. You can’t do it, can you? You can’t possibly accept that eric has chosen donna.

Quinn: Why should I?

Wyatt: Because that’s what he wants.

Quinn: Hmm. No. The logan sisters, they have no morals.

Wyatt: Okay, fine. She might have a few–

Quinn: Come on. She is the antithesis of who I am.

[Wyatt laughs]

Quinn: She’s vampy and she’s vacuous. Do–do you know that she carries a bottle of honey around with her wherever she goes? That– that– that is who eric has left me for.

Wyatt: Look, mom, I’m sorry. I feel for you. I do. But I kind of feel like you came out the winner in this situation, don’t you? You got carter. You got what you wanted. A relationship that you can be excited about. Don’t let donna ruin that. Don’t let her stress you out. It’s not even worth it. And, mom, please… for the love of god. Don’t say or do anything that you’re going to regret.

Brooke: If this is an inside job like baker suspects. How come there’s no leads? How could nobody know how sheila would escape? It’s unbelievable. And it’s terrifying. Knowing that she’s out there somewhere loose. A woman capable of killing her own son.

Sheila: You need to calm down.

[Finn mumbles]

Sheila: Okay, getting upset is not doing you any good.

Finn: I need to see her. I need– I need to see steffy.

Sheila: I know. I promised you you would.

Finn: Right. Right now.

Sheila: Not until you’re feeling better.

Finn: I need her. I… need–I need my wife.

Sheila: No. What you need to do is to listen to me. Obey your mother.

Finn: I have

to get away from you.

Get home.

Sheila: I know– I know what’s best for you, son.

[Finn moans]

Sheila: If you would just trust me. Everything will be just fine.

Finn: You’re crazy.

Crazy! Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

Donna: It feels so good, being welcomed back like this. Not every day do I get a present from pammy and charlie.

Eric: It’s not, is it. Well, they’re not the only ones who missed you. You were missed by everyone around here.

Donna: Everyone’s been so kind so far.

Eric: Good.

Donna: Though I haven’t run into quinn, yet. Well, uh, hopefully that won’t be too awkward.

Eric: Don’t worry too much about that. All right?

Donna: Oh, I’m not. I am way too happy to let anything worry me.

Eric: Good.

Eric: I have a meeting. Meet me for lunch. All right?

Donna: Definitely. I’ll bring the honey.

Eric: Hmph. Okay.

[Donna laughs]

Quin: Well, well, well, well, well, well. Look who it is. The woman who’s getting everything she ever wanted.

Donna: Hmm. Quinn, how are you?

Quinn: I’M… pissed.

Donna: I’m sorry to hear that.

Quinn: Yeah, actually, I’m not just pissed. I’m– I’m actually really pissed.

Donna: Yeah, I can see. Have you tried meditation and yoga?

Quinn: No, I don’t think those things are going to help me at all. What will help me is confronting the woman who slept with my husband.

Ridge: I know it’s scary with sheila being out there. But she’ll be caught. You’ll be safe. I’ll always keep you safe.

Finn: You–you want me… to trust you? I– I will. Just do the right thing and call steffy.

Sheila: No. Damnit finn. No. I need you to listen to me. You’re not well enough.

Finn: My choice.

Sheila: Oh, no. You know what, you really don’t have a say in this. So why don’t you just stop with all the nonsense? Let me nurse you back to health, and then we’ll figure out how to bring steffy back into this. It’s what I want as well. I want to see you happy with steffy and hayes.

Finn: Then give me the phone.

Sheila: That is not going to happen.

Finn: I got to do this. I can’t go– and let think have steffy thinking I’m dead, it’s cruel. It’s cruel.

Sheila: Cruel? Cruel? You– you want to know what’s cruel? Letting steffy get her– her hopes up. And then you don’t pull through. I will bring her here. Just not yet. I am not going to risk your health. Not after everything that I have done. Is it– is it too much for you to show a little appreciation? I’m the reason you’re alive.

Finn: And the reason I’m shot. Pulled a gun on my wife. You wanted her dead. That’s why I’m here.

Sheila: You have no idea how hard that was for me, to see that bullet go into you like that.

Finn: Instead of steffy? It’s who you wanted to kill. It’s who you were trying to kill. After– after I passed out. What happened? Tell me!

Sheila: No. No. Because you know what? I am not going to let you get agitated. It is not going to be healthy for you.

Finn: Did– did you– did you hurt her?

Sheila: Steffy is fine. And you’re going to be together again. You’re going to be happy if you just listen to what I say.

Finn: How is she fine? She thinks– she thinks I’m dead. And she’s probably trying to raise our child all by herself.

Sheila: Baby, don’t do that. No, don’t do that. No, you can’t get up!

Finn: You call me a wheel– get me a wheelchair or an ambulance. Get me out of here, sheila. I’m going to get to steffy.

Sheila: No.

Finn: I’m going to get out of here.

Sheila: No.

Finn: Now.

Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem Update

"Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem"

Update written by Joseph

At an undisclosed location, a doctor and a nurse enter a DiMera Enterprises lab. The doctor states that they are almost ready to bring their patient out of his cryogenic state. The nurse asks about his brain tumor. The doctor responds that once Megan Hathaway gathers the three prisms, they will be able to treat him and it won’t be long now…

Megan tells Hope that it’s been a long time. Ben questions Hope knowing her. Hope reveals that Megan Hathaway is Stefano’s daughter and Bo’s high school sweetheart. Megan hates being defined by the men in her life. Ciara thought Megan died back in the 80s. Megan guesses they’re all making a comeback. Hope recalls finding Megan’s body and says she was dead and still should be. Megan argues that Hope should be dead since she set the perfect trap, but Hope somehow skirted death and lived her happily ever after. Megan declares that this time, her story is going to have a very different ending.

Marlena and Kayla struggle with being tied up. Kayla questions if Megan Hathaway could really be behind this. Marlena says she’s clearly alive and wonders if she brainwashed John and Steve. Kayla and Marlena talk about no one being able to hear them if they scream. Kayla wonders what Megan could be planning. Marlena feels they have to warn John and Steve before they get hurt or hurt somebody else.

Li gives a speech about the prism and says it won’t be long before they have the other two and their company will be blazing a new trail. Li announces that it’s all under their incredible CEO, Gabi Hernandez, and calls Gabi up to speak to the investors. Andrew wonders to Paul if Harris Michaels it not showing up as he thought something would’ve happened by now. Gabi talks about how happy she is for everybody being there. Wendy then screams as she is grabbed by Steve and John with their guns drawn. Joey questions what the hell Steve is doing while Li asks what is the meaning of this. John demands Li hand over the prism or his little sister will be a dead woman.

In Heaven, Bo tells Angela that he can’t find the remote. Angela thought he might want a break from the world below. Bo says he just wanted to check in on Hope and Ciara. Angel says he can’t spend eternity watching his family as it’s not healthy and suggests he get some fresh air. Bo asks if she doesn’t want to see what happened with Harris as he wants to see Hope kick his ass. Angel reminds him that this is Heaven and there are rules.

Hope brings up Megan helping Stefano search for the prisms all those years ago because he believed they could save his life but he’s gone now. Megan blames Hope for shooting him in cold blood. Ciara points out that Stefano survived that while Megan argues he was never the same after it. Hope repeats that Stefano is gone, so she questions why Megan needs the prisms. Megan says she doesn’t have time for that and calls on Harris. Harris approaches Hope and takes the prism from her. Ben says that she got what she came for so she can now let them go. Harris hands the prism over to Megan, who tells him good work. Megan declares that she now has just one more assignment for Harris; to kill Hope. Megan hands her gun to Harris.

Paul questions what the hell John is doing. John tells him to stay back. Tripp questions Steve. Li calls for security but John says no one is coming to his rescue. Li questions what he has done. Steve responds that security is out of commission and orders Li to do as he’s told or say goodbye to his sister. Paul tells Andrew that they have to do something. Andrew says they will when the time is right. Wendy tells Li not to do it but complains they are hurting her. Li then hands over the prism to John and says to let his sister go. Steve tells John to go, he holds his gun on everyone as he then runs out. Li orders Steve to let Wendy go, but Steve says there’s been a change of plans as he needs a hostage. Li argues that was not part of the deal. Steve asks who has the gun. Tripp and Joey offer themselves instead but Steve feels he’ll be better off with Wendy. Kayla runs in and calls for Steve. Wendy then hits Steve and runs while Tripp and Joey grab Steve. Marlena stops John on his way out of the gala. Tripp and Joey fight with Steve until they wrestle the gun away and Wendy ends up with the gun. Wendy declares that it’s over. Andrew and Paul rush out while Kayla goes to check on Steve. Steve argues that he doesn’t need her help. Tripp questions what is wrong with him. Kayla explains that they think John and Steve have been brainwashed by Stefano’s daughter, Megan Hathaway. Gabi questions who as Kayla calls it a long story and says it would be a disaster if Megan gets all three prisms, so they just have to pray that John does not escape.

Marlena tries to get through to John, telling him that he’s been brainwashed and needs to let her help him. John tells her to stay away from him. Marlena argues that he’s just confused and she loves him. Marlena says she needs him to come back to her and be the man he was. Marlena reaches her hand out to him. Andrew and Paul rush up but John shoves Marlena to them and runs.

Gabi calls Wendy a badass and says Li is the one who is shaken up. Wendy says that’s because Li is the one who has to face their father after having lost the prism. Li assures the prism is the furthest thing from his mind right now as he’s just so relieved that they are all okay. Li offers to take the gun but Gabi says it looks like Wendy’s got it. Wendy says the police will need to talk to who is in charge which is Li. Li admits he’s underestimated Wendy. Tripp and Joey tie Steve up and hold him down as he complains that he has a mission to complete. Kayla tries to get through to him and tells him that she’s going to fix this and undo the damage that Megan has done. Kayla tells Steve that she loves him. Steve says he doesn’t care about any of them as his only allegiance is to Megan Hathaway. Steve screams to be let go.

Harris holds the gun on Hope. Megan orders him to shoot her now. Ciara tries to stop him while Ben holds her back. Megan warns Ben not to move a muscle or else Ciara will be next. Megan questions what the hell the problem is and demands Harris shoot Hope now. Harris instead collapses and drops the gun. Megan picks up the gun and fires shots as she runs away. Hope checks on Harris and confirms that he’s still breathing. Ben goes after Megan while Hope and Ciara hug.

Angela tells Bo that they both know if she keeps letting him watch his family, he will be tempted to interfere. Bo responds that he can’t interfere because of the rules and he just wants to watch. Angela argues that he’d want to go down if any one in his family got hurt. Bo complains that he’s just worried about them. Angela says it was great that he got to see Hope again. Bo calls that amazing but also a reminder of what he can’t have and what he’s missing. Angela reminds him that they will eventually be reunited. Bo says until then it will seem like an eternity.

Ben checks on Hope and Ciara. Ben says Megan had a driver waiting for her and got away.

Paul checks on Marlena, who says she is okay but confirms John is brainwashed but she doesn’t know why. Paul explains that John and Steve are after the three prisms. Marlena realizes that’s what Megan was up to. Paul decides to try and catch up to Andrew.

Gabi tells Wendy that Li is talking to the police and the guests have returned to their rooms so she’d call the gala a success. Wendy keeps the gun on Steve as Tripp remains with him. Joey comments to Kayla how he’s never seen Steve act that way before and it was so strange and scary. Kayla assures that they have been through this before and they will get him help to fix this. Steve asks Tripp to convince Wendy to put the gun down. Steve mocks Tripp so Kayla tells him to ignore him. Steve repeats that he has a mission to complete. Tripp and Joey decide to take Steve up to one of the rooms upstairs.

Paul and Andrew return to Marlena and reveal that John got away, assuming he got on a bus or in a taxi. Tripp and Joey bring Steve out. Paul demands to know where John is but Steve refuses to talk. Paul asks Marlena to work her magic. Marlena says she will do anything to save John while Steve repeats that he only answers to Megan Hathaway, so he won’t help them no matter what they say. Marlena puts something on Steve, saying it’s something to make him cooperate.

Harris is handcuffed at the police station with his arm in a sling from being shot. Hope enters. Harris says he didn’t think he would see her again. Hope responds that they have unfinished business and hands him annulment papers for him to sign since they were technically married yesterday. Hope says there was never anything between them really and they were just playing each other from the start. Harris tells Hope that when Megan ordered him to kill her, he couldn’t do it to her because deep down he knew it was wrong. Hope tells him to just save it. Hope adds that she spoke to Shane Donovan of the ISA, who gave her a full briefing, so she knows everything he did in kidnapping her friends and allowed Megan to brainwash them. Hope states that Steve is going to be okay but John is still out there under Megan’s control. Hope warns Harris that if anything happens to John, she will personally make him pay.

John presents the prism to Megan. Megan compliments him and says she knew he and Steve were the right men for the job because her father’s training had paid off. Megan then puts all three prisms together and declares now she can finally cure him. John asks if she really thinks she can bring Stefano back. Andrew and Paul then burst in with their guns drawn. John pulls his gun on them. Andrew orders Megan to hand over the prisms.

Bo puts together a model ship as Angela comments that he found something productive to do. Bo mocks this not being as fulfilling as watching his family. Angela says if he wasn’t so grumpy, she’d share her exciting news. Bo asks what that is. Angela says she’ll be in touch and walks away.

Harris signs the annulment papers and tells Hope that he really is sorry. Hope says goodbye and goes to leave but Harris tells her to wait. Harris knows she thinks none of what they had was real but says she’s a smart and perceptive woman, so if he didn’t have any feelings for her at all, she would’ve known. Hope questions if she would have. Harris thinks maybe Megan did something to him, but he can’t put his finger on it as he wasn’t always like this. Harris states that something is off as he feels so hollow outside. Harris brings up Hope saying her friends were brainwashed, so he wonders if Megan could have done the same to him. Hope admits the thought crossed her mind after talking to Shane. Hope adds that she saw Harris’s military records and he was once an honorable man. Harris asks if Hope can help him, if it’s true. Hope agrees to speak to Shane to see if he can run some tests. Harris thanks her. Hope then exits.

Tripp and Joey reunite with Steve, who credits Marlena’s deprogramming skills for breaking Megan’s spell on him. Joey says it’s good to have him back. Steve apologizes to Wendy for holding her hostage. She understands it wasn’t him. Wendy adds that Steve has raised two pretty cool sons, who love him so much. Tripp jokes that she thinks they are cool. Marlena and Kayla enter. Steve asks if there’s any word on John. Marlena says not yet, but thanks Steve for telling everything he knows. Steve hopes it was enough to save John.

Andrew demands Megan hand over the prisms. Megan tells John to handle this as she doesn’t have time for interference. Paul tells John to drop the gun. John asks if Paul’s going to shoot him if not and says he doesn’t think so. Paul knows John wouldn’t shoot his son, no matter how scrambled his brain is. John says that’s where he’s wrong and declares that Paul means nothing to him. Paul says he’ll never believe that as John may not have raised him, but he feels like he’s known him for his entire life. Paul talks about John being there time and time again over the years, like when he lost Will and when he got paralyzed. Paul says John always knew what he needed or what to say. John responds that things have changed because when he looks at him now, all he feels is disdain. Paul knows that’s not true and says John is still the dad who jumped on a plane at the drop of a hat just to show up at his son’s gay pride party and has rescued him more times than he can count. Paul declares now it’s his turn to rescue John and he loves him. Megan says that’s enough and she’s not going to stand around for any more of this. Megan sets off a smoke bomb to knock out John, Paul, and Andrew while she scapes with the prisms.

Steve tells Kayla that Andrew and Paul should have landed in Caracas by now, so he thinks he should head out there. Kayla says that’s how she knows he’s back to his old self because he thinks he’s the only person who can save the day. Steve feels he needs to help. Kayla reminds him that he already has by giving the location of Megan’s compound. Kayla tells Steve to relax and let her treat him because he’s been through a lot. Steve argues that she has too. Steve apologizes for tying her up and scaring her. Kayla says not to worry about her as she’s here to take care of him and whatever he wants. Steve says there is one thing he’s been craving and jokes that he never got his jalapeno and garlic pizza. Kayla asks him to put that on hold for awhile as they kiss.

Wendy comments to Joey that his dad seems like a pretty cool guy. Joey jokes about how he usually makes a better first impressoin. Wendy and Joey play a round at the poker table. Joey talks about this experience jolting him back to life. Joey declares that he’s going to quit his sister’s PR firm and start doing things he’s actually passionate about. Joey then suggests he could come visit Wendy in Alaska some time so they could hang out and get to know each other better. Wendy is not so sure that’s a good idea. Joey says it was just a thought but obviously a dumb one. Wendy calls it really sweet and says she would be interested. Tripp then comes over and guesses Wendy shot Joey down too. Wendy says she thinks they are both great and she’s glad they met, but she doesn’t want to come between brothers so she hopes they understand which they say they do. Wendy adds that they are both totally fun and smoking hot.

Andrew ties up John to a chair then rushes to check on Paul. Andrew helps Paul up. Paul goes to John to check on him and asks if he can hear him. John regains consciousness is back to his old self, telling Paul that he loves him as they hug.

John reunites with Marlena at the hotel and they kiss. Marlena wishes they would find Megan. John assures that Shane and the ISA are on it, so they will get her. Marlena is ready to get back home. John says they’ll be on a flight back home to Salem and hopefully quieter times. Marlena notes it never seems to stay that way. John says that’s why they have each other to get through the rough times. John tells Marlena how impressed and grateful he is that she flew halfway around the world to find him. Marlena responds that she would go all the way around the world just to be with him as they kiss.

Steve and Kayla reunite with Stephanie in the hospital. Kayla suggests they stay until Stephanie is back on her feet but she says she’s getting released tomorrow and tells them they can go home since their lives are in Salem and they need to get back there. Kayla encourages her to get back and visit them which Stephanie promises to do. Stephanie tells them not to miss their flight. Kayla and Steve hug Stephanie goodbye. Steve and Kayla then exit the room. Stephanie picks up her phone and sees something interesting, remarking that she might be going home to Salem sooner than they think…

Tripp asks Joey who he’s texting. Joey claims Andrew and asks Tripp who he was texting. Tripp claims he was just catching up with his friend Chanel.

Wendy gets a text from Joey, telling her to let him know if she wants a visitor and a text from Tripp, saying he always wanted to check out Alaska. She then gets another text from each of them, both saying that she could come to Seattle. Li and Gabi come over to tell Wendy that the car is here if she’s ready. Gabi tells Wendy that she and Li are very impressed by how she handled this whole ordeal, so they agreed that her talents are being wasted in her current role. Li announces that Wendy has earned herself a promotion. Wendy excitedly hugs him.

Andrew goes to see Paul at his apartment. Paul didn’t know he was still in town. Andrew says he wrapped everything up and got an award. Paul says he’s no longer in his father’s shadow. Andrew says he couldn’t leave town without returning Paul’s gym clothes. Paul says he didn’t have to and jokes that they could’ve been a reward for helping save his father. They agree to have drinks next time he’s in town or if Paul’s ever in DC. Andrew mentions that the ISA is always looking for new recruits and Paul has already proven he’d be a terrific agent. Paul thanks him and agrees to think about it. Andrew decides he should get going and says it was nice meeting him as they shake hands and then they kiss.

Megan is in the lab with the three prisms and declares they now have the technology to cure his tumor and all they need is for him to wake up. Megan wonders why it’s taking so long.

Hope promises Ciara that from now on, she’s going to be there for her and her grandson. Ciara says she’ll hold her to that. Hope apologizes for being missing for the last few years. Ciara understands she was working on a case and now she asks what her plans are now. Hope responds that she’s going to keep looking for Megan and she’s not stopping until she finds her and brings her to justice. Ciara asks Hope to just take it easy for a bit for her and let the ISA handle it. Hope tells her that this is personal. Ciara hopes Hope knows that as much as she misses her when she’s not around, she has so much respect for her, her determination, and her courage. Ciara states that she’s so lucky and proud to be her daughter. Hope tells her how much that means as they hug. Hope says no matter what she accomplishes in life, nothing will ever compare to the joy and pride she feels in having raised such an extraordinary young woman. Ciara thanks her and tells her to be careful as they hug. “Tonight I Celebrate My Love” plays as Hope has flashbacks to her final dance with Bo in Heaven. Ciara asks if she’s okay. Hope points out the song which Ciara notes as Hope and Bo’s song. Hope says there’s so many memories as they hug.

Angela excitedly announces to Bo that she has the best damn news ever. Angela says she couldn’t say it earlier but she went to the higher ups and told them everything that happened yesterday and they were as impressed as she is with how Bo sacrificed everything for Hope. Angela reveals that they were so impressed that they decided to do something completely unprecedented. Angela declares that because of Bo giving his second chance away for his profound love of Hope, he is being rewarded for his selfless act by getting a second second chance. Bo calls that amazing and asks what exactly that means.

The doctor tells Megan that the patient’s body has been a cryogenic state for many years so the process is delicate and takes time. He urges her to try to be patient. Megan says that’s easy for him to say. Megan declares that she’s been waiting nearly 40 years to be reunited with the one she loves. Megan says she is patient and exits the lab, so the doctor follows her and shuts out the lights, with the three prisms left in the room.

The cryogenic chamber finally opens, revealing Bo Brady was the patient inside! Bo then opens his eyes.

Update written by Joseph

Marlena enters the living room at home and is surprised to see Sami is already up, dressed, and reading the news. Marlena comments that yesterday the world knocked her down and now she’s pretending nothing happened. Marlena then sees that Sami was reading The Intruder on her tablet with an article about Lucas kidnapping her. Marlena questions it being a good idea to read about the worst day of her life. Sami responds that her other option was to stay in bed and cry in to her pillow all day. Marlena knows that when Sami really gets hurt, she’s able to build a wall all around herself. Marlena is amazed that Sami even got up and got dressed this morning. Sami insists that she’s fine but when she slows down to think about it, she might cry and if she does, she won’t be able to stop.

Kate brings Lucas coffee in the interrogation room. Lucas tells her that she didn’t have to come and he doesn’t want her here because he’s put her through enough. Kate says he doesn’t have to worry about hurting her feelings. Lucas doesn’t want her to see him like this. Kate doesn’t want to see him like this either, so she has hired the best defense attorney in the midwest to get him out of here. Kate encourages that Lucas is going to beat this but Lucas says not if he pleads guilty.

Roman goes to the DiMera Mansion. EJ tells him that Johnny isn’t there but Roman says he came to see EJ.

Brady shows up at Chloe’s door in the Salem Inn and asks where she was as he was knocking for like five minutes. Chloe says she just didn’t know he was coming. Brady says he just got back in to town and wanted to see his girl. Chloe thought he was coming back tomorrow. Brady walks in, commenting that there was a time when she liked surprises. Brady then looks around the room and sees the bedsheets messed up and two wine glasses on the end table. Brady asks Chloe what’s going on and if someone’s in the bathroom.

EJ offers Roman coffee or juice but Roman says he’s good. EJ asks if he literally meant that he came to see him since that usually implies talking. Roman says it’s not easy for him to say, but he owes him an apology. EJ jokes that there really is a first time for everything. EJ says he’s a little taken aback because they are on new ground here. Roman admits he was never wrong about EJ before but he was this time as he blamed EJ for kidnapping Sami and he’s a cop, so he should’ve known better than to rush to judgment. EJ understands Sami is his daughter and he’s not always impartial about his children either. Roman adds that he misjudged Lucas even more than he did EJ. EJ tells him not to be too hard on himself because Lucas fooled everyone. Roman points out not everyone. EJ asks if someone was onto him. Roman tells EJ that it was Kate.

Kate tells Lucas that there’s no time for jokes but Lucas says he’s serious. Kate argues that if Lucas pleads guilty, he could go to prison for life. Lucas feels the punishment fits the crime as he kidnapped Sami and pinned it on an innocent man. Kate remarks that EJ’s a lot of things but not innocent. Lucas tells Kate no more covering for him, no more blaming his victims, or cleaning up hs messes. Lucas declares that he did this on his own, so he has to face the consequences.

Marlena tells Sami that they were all wrong about Lucas. Sami says she spent all night laying in bed thinking about Lucas. Sami says it’s not just what Lucas did to her, but all of it and the times they spent together. Sami talks about confiding in Lucas because of everything they had been through and last night, he blew it all up in her face. Marlena knows how upset Sami was and how she threw her rings across the room and stormed out. Marlena wonders where Sami went after she left the church. Sami admits she went to see EJ. Marlena asks how that was. Sami responds that it was not great because EJ was otherwise engaged.

Chloe jokes to Brady that the person in the bathroom is who she spent the night with and asks if he’s going to break down the door. Brady says that’s not funny as Belle then comes out from the bathroom in her robe and greets Brady.

Kayla finds Steve trying to put a stroller together at Shawn’s. Shawn comes in and talks about thinking he got baby Shawn down for a nap. Kayla tells him that she’s installed baby monitors so they can be alerted. The baby then wakes up crying so Kayla says she will go check on him and suggests Shawn help Steve with the stroller, though Steve says he doesn’t need any help. Steve complains about the instruction manual being too small. Shawn sits down in frustration. Steve encourages that he’s got this. Shawn responds that he’s got Steve and Kayla acting like this is normal and like the baby is a good thing and not an obstacle like Belle called him. Shawn tells Steve how much it means to him. Steve states that the baby is Bo’s grandson and Bo was Kayla’s brother and his best friend which means the baby and Shawn are stuck with them for life. Shawn offers Steve a beer while working on the stroller which he accepts.

Kate tells Lucas that she’s not going to let him wallow in his guilt. Lucas asks if he’s supposed to shrug off the fact that he kidnapped the woman he loved. Kate tells him to think about it and focus. Lucas says he is thinking about what he’s done and what kind of man he is. Kate encourages him to think about someone other than himself, like his children. Lucas argues that if he pleads guilty, his children won’t have to worry about him, go through a horrible trial, or read headlines about their loser drunk father who kidnapped their mother. Kate argues that if Lucas pleads guilty to kidnapping, it will make Chad’s case and he’ll be charged with Abigail’s murder. Kate asks if he thinks that will be good for his children.

EJ asks Roman how long Kate knew about Lucas. Roman reveals since January 5th which EJ notes was quite early. Roman explains that Kate kept it all to herself until she found out it was all coming out anyway and there was nothing she could do to stop it. EJ guesses then she was really sorry. Roman says he does believe her. EJ points out that must have been last night and now Roman is here early. Roman says he wanted to apologize. EJ asks if he also wanted to let it slip about Kate. Roman insists that was not his intention at all. EJ says he can’t be expected to be discrete after finding out. EJ remarks that Stefano said the Bradys were just as fierce about their children as the DiMeras are and anyone who hurt them, must pay. Roman says that’s what the justice system is for, so he’s trusting that EJ won’t take the law in to his own hands. EJ responds that he can always trust him. Roman says he means it and orders EJ not to take the law in to his own hands with Kate. Roman says he’ll see him later and exits the mansion.

Marlena tells Sami that it must have been so upsetting but she’s sure EJ believed Sami was marrying Lucas, so he probably thought it was alright to date someone else. Sami argues that he wasn’t just dating someone else, he was sleeping with someone else, and it wasn’t just someone, it was her sister which shocks Marlena. Sami tells Marlena that Belle was pleased as could be about it. Marlena can’t believe it’s true. Sami argues that Belle has been waiting for an opportunity to get back at her for her entire life and saw that EJ was vulnerable, so she took it just to hurt her. Sami explains how Belle came out of hiding in the bathroom in EJ’s robe on purpose, so that she would know and see that it was her. Sami tells Marlena not to defend Belle or make excuses for her. Marlena says she’s just aching for both of them and argues that this shouldn’t happen to anybody on their wedding day. Marlena asks Sami not to take her anger out on her sister because she wouldn’t just be hurting her, but herself as well. Sami says that’s what she always does. Marlena tells her to take it easy and she’ll go make them something to eat. When Marlena leaves the room, Sami gets up and storms out of the house.

Chloe jokes with Brady that she took it to the next level with Belle. Brady guesses things didn’t work out at the DiMera Mansion and asks if Belle finally realized that EJ is an arrogant, selfish jerk. Chloe tells Brady to stop. Brady sees that Belle is upset and asks what happened. Chloe doesn’t think she wants to share with someone who is being judgmental and self-righteous. Brady apologizes and says just the thought of Belle being with EJ pushes all his buttons. Belle responds that he doesn’t have to worry about that anymore as she got her comeuppance. Brady says he didn’t want that. Belle then reveals that she got it when Sami found her in bed with EJ.

Steve understands Jan whacked Shawn pretty good with an oar. Shawn responds that Belle whacked her back too but says there’s been no word from search and rescue. Shawn adds that Jan hitting him wasn’t the worst thing she did as she pretended like she was holding the baby, but it was a sack of oranges that she threw at him. Shawn questions what kind of person could do that. Shawn knows Jan is crazy but he thought she loved the baby so it kinda proves that he doesn’t think Jan could love anything. Steve says he’s sorry. Shawn says it teaches him a lesson that if Jan comes back, she can’t be anywhere near his son as he can’t let that happen. Shawn declares it’s just going to be him and the baby. Kayla comes back and says she and Steve will be there too. Kayla mentions that the baby is sleeping now. Kayla tells Shawn about when she first found out about Tripp and says she knows it’s not the same, but it was like being kicked in the stomach and she was in emotional shock, but over time, her resentment towards Tripp turned in to loving him like her own son. Kayla thinks in the beginning it was because of her love for Steve. Shawn says he’s never stopped loving Belle. Kayla doesn’t think Belle stopped loving him. Shawn says that might be true since that’s what Belle says, but he thinks she has moved on.

Belle tells Brady that Sami went on quite a tirade and says she was so hurt. Belle explains that Sami left and EJ took off after her and she didn’t know why, so she followed him and from what he said, it’s pretty obvious that EJ is still in love with Sami. Chloe notes that Belle didn’t tell her that part. Belle says she already knew. Brady warns Belle that Sami will retaliate and won’t keep it to herself. Belle then worries about Shawn and declares that she owes it to him to tell him, herself and goes to get dressed. Brady hopes that she’s not too late.

Sami goes to Shawn’s and greets Shawn, Steve, and Kayla. Steve asks if she’s alright. Sami says she decided a little short term humiliation was better than being married to her kidnapper. Sami is sure they know all about it from the news. Kayla asks if Sami has slept. Sami complains about everyone knowing her feelings. Kayla notes that she just seems wired. Sami says she’s sure a big crash is coming but she came to talk to Shawn before the inevitable meltdown. Shawn asks what she wants to talk to him about. Sami guesses she’s the one who is going to have to break it to him that Belle is sleeping with EJ.

Kate tells Lucas that he won’t have a lot of time with his attorney before his arraignment and encourages him to just plead not guilty now so he doesn’t burn his bridges before he even gets started. Lucas thinks he burned his bridges a long time ago. An officer comes in to take Lucas to his arraignment, so Kate follows them out. Lucas tells Kate to go home but Kate says she needs to be in the room when he talks to his lawyer. Lucas declares he’s going to do this on his own and tells Kate to go. EJ then arrives and asks Lucas if that’s any way to talk to his mother since she made him the man he is today. Lucas tells the officer to get him out of here. EJ says he’ll catch him later as they have a lot to talk about. Lucas is escorted away. Kate tries to leave but EJ grabs her and asks her what the rush is, saying it’s almost like she’s trying to avoid him. Kate guesses that Roman told him. EJ states that Roman was very upset and let it slip that Kate knew Lucas kidnapped Sami and said nothing as he framed him for it and he went off to prison. Kate mocks EJ living high in a moral dungeon now like he lived a blameless life. EJ says she’s coming out swinging like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid then reminds her of what happened to them.

Kayla asks if Sami could think about somebody other than herself and complains that Shawn doesn’t need this. Shawn says it’s okay as he can’t unhear what was said, so he might as well hear more. Shawn asks Sami what happened. Sami explains that after her wedding blew up and Lucas confessed to what he had done, she went to see EJ since he was accused of kidnapping her and she thought EJ should know that Lucas confessed which is when she saw EJ and Belle in bed together. Shawn questions her seeing Belle. Sami responds that Belle was hiding in the bathroom at first but then she came out because she wanted to make sure she knew it was her. Sami says she hates having to tell him this. Belle then arrives and says like hell she does.

Chloe encourages Brady about Rachel getting to spend time with Tate and Theresa and how Brady and Theresa are on good terms but Brady remains distracted by being worried about Belle. Chloe points out that Brady and Theresa have worked things out so that could be Belle and Shawn in time. Brady states that Belle is on her way to tell Shawn that she slept with EJ DiMera and asks how he’ll get past that. Chloe says Belle is more important than his hate for EJ. Brady says he knows his sister and she has only ever really been happy with Shawn, but thanks to Jan Spears and EJ, he thinks this time, their marriage may be over for good.

Belle argues that Sami doesn’t hate telling Shawn about her and EJ as she’s having the time of her life. Sami says she’s not. Belle knows what Sami went through last night but asks if she knows or cares what Shawn went through. Belle says Sami doesn’t care because telling Shawn about her and EJ was the way to inflict the most pain on her and that’s all that matters to her. Belle tells Sami that she will never forgive her for doing this to Shawn. Sami laughs at the idea that she did this to Shawn and says Shawn’s going through Hell while Belle is sleeping with EJ and questions how it’s her fault. Kayla tells Sami that’s enough and tells her that she’s done her damage so she can just go. Sami wishes Shawn luck and laughs as she walks out. Kayla decides she and Steve will go to let Shawn and Belle have a moment. Kayla says to call if he needs anything as they exit. Shawn guesses they finally have to have a talk.

Roman goes to Marlena’s. Marlena says it must have been quite a hard time for him with the wedding and then hearing Kate’s confession. Roman says the hard part was that Kate seemed genuinely miserable, like she was really sorry, but he just couldn’t get past knowing that she was only telling him because she knew it was going to come out later. Marlena can imagine how difficult it was for Kate to tell Roman and how difficult it will be for her to tell EJ.

Kate informs EJ that she led Belle to the files that got him out of prison. EJ argues that he wouldn’t have been in prison if she hadn’t enabled Lucas. Kate says she was protecting her son. Kate asks what EJ is going to do with her. EJ says he has a myriad of options from civil litigation to something more visceral and hands on. EJ states that the Italian side of him is seething inside but Stefano was always adamant that revenge is a dish best served cold, so Kate will just have to wait until he feels rational and ruthless enough to decide her fate. EJ tells Kate that he’ll see her around and then exits the station.

Brady gives Chloe a necklace and says he forgot to give it to her to show her how much he missed her because of all the drama with Belle. Chloe thanks him and says she missed him too as they kiss.

Belle tells Shawn that she came to tell him herself. Shawn argues that she came when she realized Sami wasn’t going to keep her secret. Belle asks to keep Sami out of this. Shawn thanks her for the update then and says he doesn’t want to hear any more details. Belle is sorry about how he had found out but says he had to know they were heading this way. Shawn argues that he wasn’t heading any way as he’s here in their house while Belle headed out and went straight to EJ’s bed.

Marlena calls Belle, leaving her a message to call her back right away as it’s really important. Marlena prays not to let Sami be doing what she thinks she’s doing. Kate then shows up at Marlena’s door. Marlena questions what the hell she’s doing here. Kate says she needs her help.

Sami sits in the living room of the DiMera Mansion as EJ comes home, surprised that she came back and says thank God.

Brady and Chloe continue kissing and begin to undress as Chloe welcomes him home.

Lucas returns to the police station from his arraignment. The officer with him remarks that when Lucas plead not guilty, he looked like even he knew it was a crock.

Kate asks if Marlena is going to let her in. Marlena argues that Kate knew her son kidnapped her daughter and said nothing and she knew they were about to get married, but still said nothing. Marlena then questions why in God’s name she would let Kate in to her home.

Belle argues that she and Shawn were having problems long before she got involved with EJ. Shawn blames Jan and the Devil tricking him in to getting in bed with Jan and then Belle decided that he betrayed her. Shawn says something terrible happened to both of them but from day one, she acted like it was only her and she was the victim. Shawn argues that Belle walked out on her and their marriage while he was dealing with a psycho that was pregnant with his baby. Shawn asks how to protect the baby without dealing with Jan. Belle shouts that it was too much after everything Jan did to them to know that Jan was having his child. Belle knows Jan tricked him in to bed and she never blamed him for that, but he never told her and then there’s a baby. Shawn argues that the baby has no choice of how he was brought in to the world. Belle complains that Shawn refuses to understand. Shawn mocks that EJ understands perfectly so she runs right in to his bed. Belle then storms out.

Sami questions what EJ just said. Sami says that his arrogance never ceases to amaze her. Sami asks if he thought she came back to be with him. Sami goes over how she was about to marry Lucas last night but that didn’t work out, so she came to see EJ and found him in bed with her sister. Sami asks if that’s supposed to bring back all the old feelings. EJ guesses that she hasn’t come back to him then. Sami clarifies that she came to say goodbye to Johnny because this is it and she’s leaving Salem. Sami says she’s gone back and forth between EJ and Lucas for the better part of two decades and she’s sick of it. Sami remarks that EJ’s not worth the powder it would take to blow him up. EJ points out that they would be together right now, if she hadn’t believed Lucas’s lies. Sami agrees that he’s right about that and thanks God it happened the way it did so she could learn her lesson, because she can’t even count the different ways that EJ has found to break her heart. Sami declares that she’s done and wishes EJ luck with Belle or whoever comes after her as she hopes they make each other miserable. Sami repeats that this is it as she’s had it with him, this place, and all of it. Sami then walks out of the mansion, leaving EJ upset.

Recap written by Christine

Phyllis caught Ashland as he skulked around Chancellor Park, and she asked why he was still in town. He told her to beat it, and she refused, since she was allowed to be here. He conceded he didn’t get to decide who came to the park or much of anything else these days. Phyllis said she might throw Victoria a party to celebrate her getting rid of Ashland. Phyllis realized Ashland must be here waiting for Harrison. She asked if he was planning to violate Kyle and Summer’s restraining order. He asked who appointed her the town police – he was just walking in a park and he had every right to be here. She listened to the Grinning Soul, and she was appalled by his cancer scam. He found it ironic that so many people with sordid pasts thought they had the right to judge him. He didn’t see why it was so terrible that he wanted to catch a glimpse of his son at a distance. She said she’d call Harrison’s parents if he violated the restraining order. She felt he and Diane had crossed a line they could never come back from. “You people have no mercy!,” he yelled. He didn’t see why it was so bad that he and Diane wanted to have a relationship with that sweet child. Phyllis accused Ashland of spinning out like a caged animal. She knew how dangerous that was. She left. He sank onto the bench and put his head in his hands. “Father!,” an excited Harrison yelled as he and Diane arrived.

Diane watched from a distance. She looked troubled, but made no attempt to intervene when Harrison ran to Ashland, or when Ashland scooped the boy up into his arms. Ashland told a white lie that he didn’t visit Harrison because he’d been busy with work. Ashland said he might have to leave again soon, so he was glad he was seeing Harrison right now. Diane flashed back to Michael asking her to let Ashland visit Harrison so they could catch him breaking the restraining order. Diane had balked about using Ashland’s love for his son against him. Michael said it was a preemptive move to keep Ashland away from Victoria. He told Diane that the Newmans would appreciate her cooperation, and Nikki might even be prevailed upon to drop the investigation into Diane’s past. In the present, Ashland wanted to buy Harrison an Italian ice from a nearby cart. Diane walked up and said she’d buy it while Ashland and Harrison talked. Ashland tearfully thanked Diane, and she told him to enjoy his time with his son. Diane told Harrison that she’d be watching him the whole time, so he should be good. He nodded.

Nikki grabbed coffee to go at Society, and she ran into Michael, who invited her to join him. She told him Ashland was back and that he came to Victoria’s office and asked Victor to lift the restraining order for Harrison. Michael already knew, because Victor texted him about it. Nikki didn’t like the idea of Ashland being around Harrison. Michael was hoping Ashland defied the restraining order. Nikki demanded an explanation. Michael said this was part of a contingency plan he and Victor came up with to have Ashland arrested for violating the order. Michael had asked Diane to help. Nikki thought that was a terrible idea, because Diane wasn’t trustworthy. “How can you put that child at risk?,” Nikki asked. Michael said Diane was Harrison’s grandmother, and she’d never put him at risk. Nikki didn’t think Diane had a protective bone in her body.

Michael said Diane refused to help, because she didn’t want to alienate Kyle. Nikki said Diane was thinking with her head for a change. Nikki hoped her investigator would help her find something on Diane that would drive her out of town. Michael said he hadn’t forgiven Nikki for firing him. She said Victor convinced her Michael wans’t suitable for the job. “No, Victor loves me,” Michael replied. Nikki added that there was a conflict of interest since Michael had befriended that woman for some bizarre reason. Michael said the PI firm in LA that he hired discovered something about Diane before he pulled them off the case.

Nikki said of course she wanted to know. Michael said, as he predicted, the PI firm found that Diane, or Taylor Jenkins, had a pristine record. Nothing so much as a parking ticket. Nikki was disturbed at how gleeful Michael was. She said that just because his firm didn’t find anything in the short time they searched didn’t mean anything wasn’t there. She didn’t understand how a man as savvy as him could be taken in like this. He asked if she’d never once needed forgiveness. She said she’d never done anything as evil as what Diane had done to Nikki and her family. Diane texted Michael that Harrison and Ashland were together at the park. Michael triumphantly told Nikki that Diane had made a step toward rectifying some of her so-called evil.

Back at the park, Ashland said that while he wished he could spend more time with Harrison, he knew Harrison was having fun at the Abbott house and that his father and stepmom loved him. Harrison added that Dee Dee loved him too. Diane overheard Harrison and smiled. Michael texted back that he’d alerted the police. He told Diane to keep Ashland there.

Nate was in Lily’s office. He showed her pictures of Elena sightseeing in Hawaii after a successful presentation at the conference. Imani entered, then apologized for interrupting. She heard about the pictures and asked to see, so Nate showed her. Imani said it looked like Elena didn’t have a care in the world. Lily was sure Elena missed Nate. Lily was sorry Nate had to miss the trip because of work. Imani was glad Nate stayed because he was a huge help to her last night. Lily asked how. Nate explained that they were going to meet with Sally to try and get Elena out of her contract with Newman so she could do a medical podcast for Chancellor Winters. Lily hoped they could make that work because they needed more podcasts and having the face of AskMDNow back would be a huge win. Lily thought Amanda would be able to get anyone out of a contract. Imani said she hadn’t discussed it with Amanda, because she was busy dealing with their mom’s health issues. Nate continued that Sally backed out of the meeting. Imani said she freaked out last night over her mom’s seizure, and Nate peeled her off the ceiling and eased her concerns. She spent all night researching that rehab facility he told her about in Virginia. Now she just needed to convince her dad and Amanda to go along with it.

According to Imani, Amanda and Devon spent the night where Naya was. Last night, Nate had made Imani see that Naya had a long road to recovery and that an inpatient rehab was for the best. Imani talked to her family last night, and her father thought her mom would be more comfortable at home, and Amanda didn’t think Naya would like the idea of going to rehab in Virginia. Nate said that the rehab would increase Naya’s chances of getting her life back. Nate thought Naya would likely need intense physical and speech therapy. Imani said an aide coming to the house a few days a week wouldn’t cut it. Imani had learned the facility kept a strict schedule, and since Naya was stubborn, that could be a conflict. Lily was sorry – she knew how difficult this could be. Nate said the whole family had to be on board, starting with the patient. Imani was going to try and talk everyone into it, and even if that didn’t work, she appreciated having Nate there last night to lift her up. Lily seemed to observe the way Imani talked about Nate.

Nate decided to leave, and Imani was going to head out too, but Lily kept her behind for a chat. Lily was sorry if she pressured Imani about Elena’s contract. This company put family first, Lily said. Imani said there was no need to apologize. She was sure she could handle the workload and her mom’s situation. She said Nate helped her. Lily offered Imani time off with her mom. Imani thought it might be best to let Amanda handle things in person while Imani handled stuff from a distance and picked up the slack at work. Imani said the tension was causing some stress between her and her sister.

Imani went to Crimson Lights and talked to Amanda by phone. She thanked Amanda for convincing their mom to go to rehab. Amanda asked about work, and Imani said it was under control. Nate arrived, and Imani filled him in. he hoped he didn’t push her too far by suggesting a facility out of state. She thought this was just what Naya needed. He said Imani did her family a good service by convincing them to send Naya there. She was near tears, and she admitted she was scared. He held her and said it would be okay.

Chelsea met Kyle and Summer at Dive Bar. She broke the news that she wouldn’t be able to accept their job offer. Summer said that if this was about money or creative control, they could work something out. Chelsea said she realized she’d jumped into a stressful environment way too quickly. She said it was one thing to go back to a fashion platform that was already up and running, but it was with Adam, so he was her boss, her ex, they were co-parenting – it was too much. Summer thought that was part of the reason Chelsea was happy at Fenmore’s without Adam. Chelsea said she was, but she and Chloe had to deliver a whole new line in record time, and the chaos and pace caught up to her, and she had personal issues she had to deal with. She was glad she recognized it before she destroyed her friendship with Chloe. Summer and Kyle were understanding. They assured Chelsea that the offer was on the table if she ever wanted it and that they’d help if she needed it. Chelsea saw Billy show up. She said she already had something that would keep her busy.

Billy joined the group, and Chelsea said he asked her to consult on his podcast. That wasn’t what Summer was expecting. Chelsea said it couldn’t be further from the podcast world, yet it was still creative. Billy congratulated Kyle and Summer on making it home and bringing Marchetti with them. He was sure Jack and Phyllis were happy. Kyle added that Phyllis wasn’t happy Diane was back. Billy was pulling for Diane and hoped she’d redeem herself, which wouldn’t be easy in this town with all her enemies. Kyle said people were judgmental. Billy said it probably wasn’t easy for Phyllis either, because Diane put her through the wringer back in the day. Billy knew it must be hard for Kyle and Summer to be stuck between their mothers. He had some experience with that, as he had a mother with a reputation for being difficult too. Summer was impressed Billy was able to empathize with everyone. He replied that it took him long enough to mature. Michael texted Kyle about Harrison and Ashland being together. Kyle told Summer they had to go, and they rushed out.

Nikki and Michael showed up at the park, and he had to stop her from running to separate Ashland and Harrison. At that point, Diane returned with the Italian ice. Ashland tensed up when he saw that he was caught. Ashland got one last hug from Harrison and handed him off to his grandmother. Diane took Harrison out of the area. He tried to leave, but Nikki and Michael walked over, and Kyle and Summer approached from the other direction. Kyle demanded to know where his son was.

Chelsea had so many fun ideas for Billy’s podcast. He said it was their podcast. Her instincts told her this was what she needed. “So giving me grief about my take on the world is life-affirming for you. Good to know,” he quipped. She said it actually was, because by critiquing his self-analysis, it forced her to reflect on herself. She’d thought she was going in the right direction with her designs, but she was actually just treading water. No wonder Chloe was so worried, Chelsea said. Chelsea had been so focused on staying on her A game that it suddenly became more about quantity vs quality. She said she was stuck doing the same thing over and over, and nothing new was coming to her, and she started procrastinating and missing deadlines which drove Chloe bonkers and strained their friendship. Realizing all that felt like an awakening to Chelsea. He was glad to hear her say that because he had a similar moment when he decided to go forward with the podcast.

Billy took Chelsea to the recording studio. She thought their listeners would be intrigued if she and Billy told shared their past as a gambler and con artist. She said it would be about getting past the layer of salaciousness and exploring the notion that they were all just humans living in a competitive world. She said they’d have to be honest in what they’d done and how they changed, and the key was that they had to call each other out and they couldn’t let each other off the hook.

Chelsea sensed ambivalence in Billy. He said he loved the idea, but he wanted to remind her that Connor would hear this. He’d thought long and hard about Johnny and Katie and he went over it extensively with Lily before he put out the first episode. Chelsea already told Connor about it. She said she had no choice but to tell him because they went to see Anita. Anita had spent hours regaling Connor with stories of every scam. Chelsea was mortified and her mother kept telling her to lighten up. Chelsea had turned things around and used it as a teaching moment for Connor. Lily called Billy, and he told her he was in the studio with Chelsea. Lily told Billy not to forget about a meeting he was attending in her place. He said he’d handle it, then he said he loved her. Lily had something else to say, but Billy had already hung up.
