Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nick: Hey. Do you want some breakfast?

Sharon: Um, I’m really not all that hungry.

Nick: Well, it’s too late, i already started my famous chocolate chip pancakes. I know you can’t resist those.

Noah: Hey!

Mariah: Hi. Sorry.

Noah: [ Sighs ]

Mariah: How is — how’s mom doing this morning?

Noah: She was still in bed when I left the house. Dad had just gotten there, though, to make her some breakfast. Who knows if she’s actually gonna eat anything, though.

Mariah: Well, did she at least have dinner last night?

Noah: I tried to get her to have something, but I didn’t have much luck. I ran into faith this morning before she went to school, and she, uh — she said she could hear her restlessly wandering around the house again last night.

Mariah: Well, I’m not surprised that she isn’t sleeping, considering everything she’s been through. And this has been hard on all of us, but I guess if — if anyone can get her to eat, it’s nick.

Noah: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, dad has his charms. What are you working on?

Mariah: Oh, I am working on a playlist for the wedding. And you think it would be easy, but it’s actually incredibly difficult. There’s just so many songs that we love.

Noah: Sounds like you could use some help. Should hit up mom to work on it with you. She could use the distraction.

Mariah: I — I doubt that’ll work, but I’ll think about it.

Tessa: Hi. Are you guys ready for some good news?

Mariah: Uh, are we ever.

Tessa: So I just got a call from my sister, and crystal can come to the wedding.

Ashland: Is it okay if I ask you how you’re feeling today?

Victoria: Stronger every day.

[ Sighs ] You know, the human capacity for resilience is nothing short of astounding. You think you’re not gonna make it through something, and then here you are, pouring milk into coffee like nothing ever happened.

Ashland: Well, I know I’m just one of many things that you’re recovering from…the person that hurt you so much. But your fortitude played a large part in my falling in love with you in the first place. I’m just sorry that I’m the reason you have to rely on it so much now. Yeah, don’t — don’t worry about it. I’m actually recovering quite nicely.

Victoria: Oh, yes, I know. You have a knack for miraculous recoveries. What are you still doing here anyway? Don’t tell me you’re planning on staying in town and please don’t tell me you’re harboring some delusion that I’m gonna forgive you.

Ashland: It’s hard for me to let go of that. Almost as hard as pretending the love I still feel for you doesn’t exist.

[ Sighs ] How am I supposed to let that go, huh?

Chloe: [ Sighs ]

Chelsea: Sorry I’m late. I —

[ Sighs ] I was up half the night. Eventually, I drifted off, and then I slept through my alarm. Thank you for getting me my coffee.

Chloe: Yeah, just as requested — an extra shot of espresso.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Boy, did I need this. It’s the only way to get through the day, considering everything we have on our agenda.

[ Sighs ]

Chloe: This is about rey, isn’t it? His death is clearly hitting you harder than you want to admit.

Mariah: Crystal’s coming to the wedding?

Tessa: Isn’t it exciting?

Mariah: Yeah, I mean, I know how much you want your sister to be there, but you’re the one who helped her flee to canada in the first place. I thought you didn’t want her to take the risk.

Tessa: All the charges against crystal have been dropped. And zack’s last known associate in the sex-trafficking ring has been locked up and arrested. Crystal can come and go as she pleases. We don’t have to worry anymore.

Mariah: Is this for real? How did this even happen?

Tessa: Well, not only is crystal safe now, but the way it happened is even more amazing. Want more restful sleep?

Victoria: I’m sure you’ll be able to find a way to let go. It’s what you do best. You’re — you’re the master of reinvention. And now, thanks to my father, you have a tidy little sum of cash so you can facilitate your latest do-over.

Ashland: I don’t have the will or the strength to reinvent myself again.

Victoria: Just stop. Stop. Stop making this so hard on both of us. If you really loved me, then just take your blood money and — and leave town.

Adam: Hey, I can see why you’re making a speedy exit. But we need to talk. Can we meet back at the office?

Victoria: I’m sorry, I don’t have time in my schedule today.

Adam: Okay, surely you can spare a few minutes for me, so just let me know when.

Victoria: If this is about newman, I’ve already made up my mind. I’m appointing my mother as co-ceo and there’s nothing that you can say to change that.

Adam: Really? We can’t even have a conversation about this?

Victoria: I think it would be a waste of time for both of us.

Adam: Well, I wonder what our dad would have to say about this decision.

Victoria: Does it matter what our dad has to say? It’s my decision to make, period.

Chelsea: Of course rey’s death is affecting me. We’ve already discussed this. He had become one of my very close friends.

Chloe: I understand that. I just — I think you need to pull yourself together. Not just for your sake, but for connor’S.

Chelsea: Well, that’s what has me so worried. My son still feels guilt about what happened. And adam and I, we’ve been trying to convince him, you know, “this accident was not your fault, connor.” Rey — I mean, his heart stopped. It would’ve happened no matter where he was.

Chloe: I know. It’s so sad. Nothing would’ve changed the outcome.

Chelsea: You know, in a little boy’s mind, it’s too hard to grasp all that. I think — I think he’s having trouble isolating the guilt he feels from the grief.

Chloe: Oh, poor connor.

Chelsea: I know. I mean, it doesn’t seem rational, but in his mind, you know, all of those events will forever be connected.

Chloe: So how is it affecting his behavior?

Chelsea: Well, he’s not playing hockey anymore. And he used to love it. I think he feels like he doesn’t deserve to play anymore.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] You know, my heart really goes out to the little guy. Kids’ feelings can get so confusing, but maybe this is just him figuring out how to deal with the grieving process.

Chelsea: [ Sighing ] Yeah. I asked noah if he would take him to play at the local rink, you know, try to connect him to the fun again, you know? Remind him rey — rey would want him to play again. He would want him to enjoy the game as a way to — to honor their friendship.

Chloe: Yeah, I think that’s a great idea, and maybe he can figure out how to deal with his own guilt. But how are you dealing with your guilt? Your own sense of loss? I know that you and rey were friends, but your reaction just seems much deeper than that. I mean, how close had you and rey grown before he died?

Nick: You know you’re not fooling me, right? You barely touched your food. You just kind of moved it around the plate. So I’ll make you a deal. If you have just a few more bites, then I’ll clean up that giant mess I made in the kitchen myself.

Sharon: Nick, you don’t have to treat me like I’m one of the kids.

Mariah: Hey. Hi, mom.

Sharon: Hey, you guys. What are the three of you doing here all together? Um, you have strange looks on your faces. Is something wrong?

Noah: No, it’s nothing bad, mom, trust me.

Tessa: No, it’s actually the opposite. I have wonderful news.

Sharon: Well, we could certainly use some of that.

Tessa: Crystal can be the maid of honor at our wedding. She no longer has to worry about the charges against her because they were dropped.

Sharon: Wow, that is fantastic. I mean, that’s great for your sakes and for crystal’S. And what timing. But how?

Tessa: Well, that’s the thing that makes this entire thing a miracle. It was rey. He was instrumental in making it happen. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Sharon: Wait, what do you mean? How was rey involved?

Tessa: Well, according to crystal, he found her case when he was going through cold case files, and then he went to michael and he convinced him that there wasn’t enough evidence for a conviction. And then michael went to the da and got him to drop the charges.

Sharon: That’s amazing. But what about that dangerous group that zack was involved in? Might they still be a threat?

Tessa: That’s the best part. Rey found him and got him arrested, so he’s no threat to crystal and she’s in no danger.

Noah: Did you know rey was working on this, mom?

Mariah: I can tell by your expression that he — he didn’t tell you.

Sharon: No. He didn’T. I had no idea.

Tessa: Maybe he wanted it to be a surprise.

Nick: Or maybe he didn’t say anything ’cause he didn’t want to get everyone’s hopes up in case it didn’t work out.

Sharon: Yeah, that sounds like rey. He was always very protective and cautious about other people’s feelings.

Tessa: But it did work. And now crystal can come out of hiding and be my maid of honor.

Sharon: Even now, rey is here, helping. Looking out for us and protecting us. Tessa, I’m so happy for you. And rey’s last gesture just proves even more profoundly what an amazing man he was.

Ashland: Guess victoria shot us both down, huh? I mean, we — we look a little pathetic, don’t you think? A couple of lap dogs hoping victoria will throw us a bone, give us what we think we deserve.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] I really don’t know what you are talking about.

Ashland: Yeah? I’m just assuming that you think you still deserve to be co-ceo or temporary ceo of newman/locke or whatever fake title it is you — you’re willing to grovel for. But from what I just witnessed, victoria doesn’t seem to be giving you the time of day.

Adam: And clearly you are out of the loop on the latest at your former company. The name locke has been jettisoned, much like you’ve been. It’s all newman now.

Ashland: Well, not all newman. You seem to be having a little trouble holding onto your piece of the pie. Now, I may be out contractually, but I think I know victoria well enough to know that she is not going to let you retain any title or power in her company.

Adam: Aww, apparently, you don’t realize how out of the loop you are. Have you heard who she is replacing you with as new co-ceo?

Ashland: Oh, she’s found someone already.

Adam: Yes. Nikki. So looks like we both got screwed out of that coveted title. But at least I’m still head of the newly expanded newman media, which includes one of your other former companies. Whereas you just have my father’s money to keep you warm.

Nikki: Hello.

Victoria: Do you know anything about this?

Nikki: Your father commissioned it and put a rush on it.

Victoria: Really?

Nikki: Really. We understand why you destroyed the one that ashland had made for you, but we felt that it needed to be replaced. And, darling, he may have broken your heart, but he certainly hasn’t destroyed your spirit or your strength of leadership. And that is exactly what that portrait represents.

Chelsea: Rey and I were just friends. I haven’t tried to hide that, so whatever you’re trying to insinuate is wrong. I mean, of course this affects me deeply. Of course it’s painful. Are you trying to tell me that I’m wrong for feeling that way?

Chloe: No, no, not — not at all. Look, I am — I am not suspicious or judging you in any way. I am just trying to understand your very deep response to all of this. I didn’t realize that you and rey were that close.

Chelsea: Rey was supportive and open-hearted, during a time where he should have hated me. He accompanied me and connor to my mom’s house after I got out of the hospital. When — when I got back to genoa city, he would seek me out just to check in on me. We had deep conversations that encouraged me, inspired me. He bonded with connor. He convinced me that I could turn my life around, that things were gonna get better. He told me I was a good mom, even after all the terrible things I did. Rey…he, um — he gave me hope that I would be accepted again.

Chloe: You should hold on to that.

Chelsea: How can I? His heart attack, this car crash, this one horrible night, this one horrible moment, it just — it rips all of that hope away.

Chloe: I know that — that you keep telling yourself that it was just friendship, but i know you too well. You were falling in love with rey, weren’t you? Life… doesn’t stop for diabetes.

Sharon: Everybody, sit down. Take a seat. I’m really glad that you’re all here because this news about crystal, it just makes something that I’ve been mulling over even more relevant, but I would need all of your help to pull it off.

Nick: Well, we are here for whatever you need.

Noah: Yeah, just name it.

Sharon: Well, I want to hold a memorial service here in genoa city for rey.

Mariah: Yeah, I mean, we can certainly pull something together.

Noah: Yeah, I can work on invitations.

Sharon: Well, I don’t think we’d need anything that formal. I was thinking of just doing something kind of small.

Nick: Sure. When?

Sharon: Well, I would like to do it before I accompany rey to miami.

Mariah: Isn’t — isn’t that tomorrow?

Sharon: That’s why I was hesitant to ask. I’d like to do it today.

Nick: Are you sure you don’t want to wait until after the service in miami?

Sharon: It’s why I couldn’t sleep last night. I was thinking about it the whole time, and don’t get me wrong, I totally understand celeste’s request to bring rey home and I’m absolutely fine with honoring that. But don’t you think that rey’s family here in genoa city should pull together and pay tribute to him as well? Before I have to bring him to his other home? Before I have to bury my husband?

Noah: Mom, are you sure you’re up for this right now?

Sharon: I want to say goodbye in my own way with rey’s friends and family here. I know it’s a lot to ask, but i hope we can pull it off today.

Nick: Absolutely. I think this’ll be good for you and for all of us.

Chelsea: I wasn’t in love with rey. Why would you even think that? He was quite happily married to sharon. In fact, it was his loyalty and dedication that made him such a trustworthy and safe friend.

Chloe: I said “falling in love.” I meant feelings, not actions, and I wasn’t accusing you of anything.

Chelsea: Well, it feels like you’re reading into the motives behind my grief, and quite frankly, I don’t want to talk about this anymore.

Chloe: Okay, okay, let’s — let’s change the subject. This was supposed to be a breakfast meeting anyway.

Chelsea: Yeah, and we need to work on these projections if we’re gonna show them to lauren.

[ Sighs ] I mean, the good thing about me not getting any sleep is I was able to come up with a few more sketches. So what do you think about this?

Chloe: Yeah, that’s — that’s different. Love the neckline.

Victoria: The portrait is — it’s lovely, mom, but I’m surprised that dad would do something like this for me after he was so determined to shove adam down my throat as co-ceo. Basically saying that he had lost confidence in me after what happened with ashland.

Nikki: That is not true. Actually, he has accepted the idea of my taking the position.

Victoria: Really?

Nikki: Yes. I mean, he’s still disappointed that the antagonism between you and adam still exists, but he made it very clear that he would support your decision.

Victoria: I — I didn’t expect that. I made it perfectly clear to adam that it was my decision to make, but [Exhales sharply] I expected some kind of pushback.

Nikki: Darling, you have been through so much lately. Your father wanting you to bring in a co-ceo has nothing to do with a lack of confidence. It has to do with giving you the time and space to heal from everything that has happened. Believe me, your father has not lost faith in you at all.

Ashland: I stand by my original comparison. Victoria rejected us both.

Adam: Don’t try to compare us. You broke her spirit.

Ashland: By signing a deal you brought to me behind her back.

Adam: Look, you are never gonna cleanse your actions in her mind and her heart. So you should just give up trying.

Nick: What the hell?

Sharon: Is there a problem?

Nick: Uh, I just got a text from ashland. I can’t imagine why he would want to see me, and I’m not particularly interested in finding out.

Sharon: Well, maybe you should find out, at least for victoria’s sake.

Nick: No, planning rey’s memorial is far more important than anything this guy has to say. Plus, I don’t even know why he’s still in town or why he would reach out to anyone in the newman family.

Sharon: I think you should find out what he wants. And I’d rather you just go and get it over with so that you can come back here and be with us and you won’t have this question gnawing at you.

Tessa: We got this. We can get it all organized.

Sharon: You were such a big help to me this morning, and i have the kids here with me now. I’m fine. Nope

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Chloe: Okay, I’ll put these numbers together and the projected schedule for a meeting with lauren.

Chelsea: Look at him. Alive and well while a good man like rey is gone.

Chloe: You cannot blame him and victoria for what happened that night.

Chelsea: But I can’t help but wonder — did he even try to go back for rey? You know, the news reports make him sound like a hero for pulling victoria from the burning car. Did he even try to help rey? Maybe he could’ve done cpr. Maybe he could’ve saved his life.

Chloe: Stop it, chelsea. Stop it. You are fixating on what happened that night.

Chelsea: You’re making it sound like I’m obsessing over this.

Ashland: Hello, nick. Thank you for getting here so quickly.

Nick: Well, I’m here in case there’s anything else I need to do to protect my sister or family from you.

Ashland: You really expect the worst of me, don’t you?

Nick: Actually, I think I’d prefer it if you dealt with me from now on instead of upsetting my sister more than you already have.

Ashland: Well, I can assure you there’s no reason for you to be so defensive. What I have to offer is of great importance and benefit to you, no strings attached.

Chloe: Relax, chelsea. I wasn’t trying to diagnose your behavior, but I — I do recognize the warning signs of when you’re starting to go over the edge.

Chelsea: You think I’m losing it?

Chloe: Everything that you’re experiencing is completely natural, considering how overtired you are and — and the grief that you’re having. Look, I’m just simply trying to point it out and interrupt the unhealthy cycle of blame before it goes any further.

Chelsea: You’re right. You’re right. I’ve been functioning on way too little sleep lately.

[ Sighs ] I think, if you don’t mind, i might go back to my room and try to get some rest. I want to be at my best when we present to lauren later.

Chloe: I think that’s a really good idea.

Chelsea: Okay.

Ashland: I would like to make a donation to new hope. One half of the money I received from your father from the agreement. You can use it to build houses or help centers. Whatever else you think the community needs.

Nick: So you are offering me $250 million with no strings attached. Can you understand why that would be difficult to believe?

Ashland: It is a real offer for a real donation.

Nick: You think this buys you some kind of absolution? You can go straight to hell. New hope doesn’t need your blood money.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] Are you really so stubborn, so proud that you would turn your back on a quarter of a billion dollars? Just think about all the good that new hope can do with that kind of money. I am offering it to you and asking nothing in return. Only one caveat.

Nick: Here we go.

Ashland: I would ask that all the work be done in the name of detective rey rosales. I’m ready to transfer the money to the new hope account right now. You just give me the word.

It’s the most wonderful

time of the year

Nick: You don’t know me. I don’t respond well to bribery and I certainly don’t like dealing with people like you.

Ashland: You shouldn’t say no out of animosity toward me. At the very least, think about the offer.

Nick: See, whether you admit it or not, you’re hoping for some kind of redemption out of this, and I just don’t think the trade-off is worth the risk.

Ashland: So you would prioritize your hatred of me over the needs of your own organization?

Nick: [ Sighs ] You’re good. See, you know that if I turn this down, this community of need badly misses out, but if i accept it, then I’m complicit in your attempts to absolve yourself. It’s clever.

Ashland: Again, think about it.

Mariah: Thanks.

Sharon: The church is available to host a small service this afternoon.

Mariah: That’s perfect, and it even gives us time to get some refreshments, you know, to have here afterward.

Tessa: Yeah, mariah and I can take care of that.

Sharon: Um, I need to let faith know. I don’t want her to be thrown when she comes home from school.

Noah: I already texted her. She thinks it’s a great idea.

Sharon: And I think we should let chance and abby know.

Mariah: I can make up a simple program, so what kind of service do you think you want to have?

Sharon: Um…well, I’ve been thinking about what rey would want. Just something casual and loving, celebrating his wonderful life. Nothing formal or sad, just quietly joyful and, you know, that was the kind of man he was, after all. I want to do something that captures his spirit.

Mariah: We can absolutely make that happen.

Sharon: Tessa, would you sing one of rey’s favorite songs?

Tessa: I would be delighted.

Noah: And I could put together some family photos for a slide show.

Sharon: Yes, that would be lovely.

Mariah: And, mom, how do you feel — do you feel like you want to say a few words?

Sharon: Um…I don’t know if I’m ready to speak publicly about rey yet. Is that terrible? Maybe this is too soon.

Mariah: Mom, mom, it’s fine. You don’t have to.

Noah: Mom, no one is expecting anything of you, okay? One time I went to this service, and they set aside a time for quiet contemplation. If anyone was feeling compelled to speak, then they could. So there’s no pressure. You can share a spontaneous memory, good times, or, you know, just reflect on who that person was.

Sharon: That’s really beautiful. I love that, noah. And rey would really love that, too.

[ Sighs ] I’m so lucky that I have all of you here to support me when i need you the most, and I know that I am blessed to have such a strong and loving and talented family to support me at every turn.

Nikki: Nicholas, what brings you by?

Nick: You’re never gonna believe this one.

Victoria: What? What’s happened?

Nick: Ashland has gotten so desperate, he is trying to buy back his forgiveness by donating half of the money dad gave him.

Victoria: Donate? Where?

Nick: To new hope. And he said the money comes without any strings attached. But honestly, who’s gonna believe a world-class liar like him?

Victoria: Well, I mean, that’s a surprising move. What are the details?

Nick: Well, on the surface, it’s pretty simple. He is allegedly going to wire $250 million into a new hope account, which we can then use to build housing or support programs.

Nikki: Don’t tell me he wants to put his name on those buildings. That would be the most self-serving thing I’ve ever heard.

Nick: Well, here’s the ultimate chess move — he wants it done in the name of rey rosales.

Nikki: Oh, my god. How dare he take advantage of rey’s death to try to clear his name.

Nick: Which is why I want to walk away from this and tell him no. Ashland needs to see that he cannot just buy his way back into everyone’s good graces.

Nikki: Victoria, you’re awfully quiet. What do you think of this?

Victoria: I think it’s obvious. Nick needs to take every penny of that money. Facing expensive vitamin c creams with dull results?

Nick: Vick, come on. Don’t tell me you’re falling for this. He’s just trying to chip away at your resolve. Now he’s trying to seem compassionate? It’s a joke.

Victoria: Of course it is. But why not? Why not let ashland try to buy his absolution? Why not use some of that money and put it towards something good?

Nick: Everything he’s doing is to try and win back your forgiveness.

Victoria: Exactly. So let him try, because it’s never gonna happen. Not in a million years.

Nikki: Victoria, are you sure about that?

Victoria: I am more certain about that than I am about anything.

Nick: I mean, new hope’s mission is to help others, to try and change their lives. I can’t take his dirty money.

Victoria: Then think about the end game. Ignore ashland’s motives. Think about the good that that money will do in rey’s name. Isn’t that worth it?

Tessa: I still can’t believe that he’s gone.

Mariah: I know. I know, I’m just still trying to embrace the idea that we’re moving forward with this wedding when we’re still so devastated about losing rey.

Tessa: I am grateful that we get to be there for sharon during this awful time and that she asked for our help and told us what she needed.

Mariah: Yeah, at least we’re not standing around, feeling helpless. My mom said that this memorial is her way of saying goodbye and starting the process of letting go.

Tessa: I think we should take her at her word.

[ Rustling ]

Sharon: Rey. Rey.

[ Sighs ] I miss you so much. I feel you everywhere in our home. Your spirit still lives in every room here. You know, when I come home and i come to the door, I — I expect to find you here waiting for me, and when I hear a noise upstairs, I think it’s you, moving around. I think you’re there getting ready for work, and then… and then I remember. And then it hits me all over again. Everything here reminds me of you. Your coffee cup is still sitting by the kitchen sink where you left it the last morning you were here, and I…I can’t bring myself to put it away. I hope you didn’t suffer. I hope you weren’t in any pain. And I hope you know how loved you were.

Are. Always. And I know your spirit’s always gonna be with me…protecting me. You know, I can just see you smiling at how happy tessa was about crystal. And now I know why you were so disinterested in my obsession with finding the perfect wedding gift, because you already had something in the works. And I can’t believe you didn’t breathe a word of that to me.

[ Sighs ] You know, I should be mad at you for keeping that secret. But I can’T. I mean, I can never be mad at you again.

[ Sighs ] “Stop it — stop it, sharon. Stop it.”

[ Sighs ] At least that’s what you would tell me. You gave me so many pep talks when I was sick. Who am I gonna turn to now? I don’t know how I’m gonna manage without you.

[ Sniffles ] My precious husband. Somehow I’m gonna find a way.

Sonny: Chet. Long time, no see.

Chet: Good to see you, Mr. Corinthos. Thank you again for the time off.

Sonny: How’d the trip to the Middle East go?

Chet: Oh, [Sighs] It was, uh — it was incredible. I wasn’t really sure how I’d feel being back in the country, but bringing those supplies to the nonprofit and sharing my story with the other wounded vets — I don’t know — it gave me a sense of closure I didn’t realize I needed.

Sonny: I’m glad the trip made a difference. You — you’re helping a lot of people.

Chet: Yeah, well, I tried.

And I’m also glad you’re back.

Yeah, well, I’m glad to be back. Turns out, I have a lot to look forward to now that I’m home.


Terry: What’s more date-worthy, biz — red or sparkly?

Elizabeth: Is this why you insisted I come with you — color consultation?

Terry: Uh, we needed a girls’ outing. You’ve been working too much.

Elizabeth: I’m trying to save up so Cameron can live in the dorms instead of semi-permanently crashing with friends. Getting my nails done is not a luxury I can afford.

Terry: No worries. It’s my treat.

Elizabeth: And normally I wouldn’t worry, except you never want anyone to come with you to the nail salon. This is your meditative time.

Terry: Well, after meditating on it, I’ve decided it’s time for a new tradition.

Elizabeth: Terry, what’s really going on? Uh…you know, there’s paraffin treatments in there.

Terry: [ Sighs ] Fine. Alright. I do have something to confess, and you’re not gonna like it.


[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Telephones ringing in distance ]

Britt: Heard it was a rough night.

TJ: I lost my first patient.

Britt: Always tough.

TJ: She wasn’t exactly a stranger. I mean, Harmony miller may have been bad news, but telling her daughter, “So sorry. We — we did everything we could” — it was… it was worse than I could ever imagine.

Britt: And did you? Do everything you could?

TJ: And we did.

Britt: Then you’re good.

TJ: Doesn’t feel that way.

Britt: [ Sighs ] Nothing prepares you for that first one.


Brook Lynn: I’m so sorry about Willow’s mom.

Michael: Thanks. I’ll, uh — I’ll tell Willow when she wakes up.

Brook Lynn: Thanks. And, Carly, I — I can’t even imagine.

Carly: Oh, that was rough. But I’m okay.

Brook Lynn: Never had any doubts. I’ll see you later, sweetie. Bye.

Carly: [ Laughs ]

[ Wind rushing ]

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Brook Lynn: Oh. Oh, my god. It is so good to hear your voice. After the day I’ve had, and it’s only noon.

Chase: What’s going on? Are you okay?

Brook Lynn: Just too much reality. I need a fantasy fix. We’re still on for the screening later, right?

Chase: [ Gasps ] Oh, it’s, uh, May the 4th.

Brook Lynn: Last I checked. Did you forget?

Chase: Oh, it’s just we got those tickets ages ago and, uh… I have another commitment.

Brook Lynn: [ Scoffs ] Like what, a date?

Chase: Yes, actually. And I’m pretty sure her dad doesn’t let her watch PG movies. I’ll talk to you later.

Violet: Pink or purple?


Michael: Yeah, Willow was so exhausted last night. I was, uh — I was worried she was gonna be too upset to sleep, but she sat on the bed to take her shoes off. By the time I turned back around, she was already asleep with her clothes still on.

Carly: Well, it’s a good thing that Willow’s getting some rest. She’s gonna need her strength with what’s to come.


Chet: How’d my temporary replacement do?

Sonny: Uh, Dex? Um, I-I only met him briefly. He’s — you know, he seemed capable.

Chet: Good. Well, I took a chance on him because he’s a fellow vet and he had experience in gym management, so I just…

Sonny: Yeah.

Chet: I just hope he met your expectations.

Sonny: Well, the — the transition was seamless. And the staff, no complaints.

Chet: Well, as long as he wasn’t better at my job than I am.

Sonny: No, no danger to that.[ Laughs ]

Dante: Hey, Chet.

Chet: Hey.

Dante: Good to see you back, man.

Chet: Yeah, thanks.

Sonny: You’re here early. I am, yeah.

Dante: I, uh — I left you a message.

Sonny: Ah, well, I was gonna call you. What’s up?

Dante; You haven’t heard?

Chet: Uh, first day. I’m going to go take care of the handoff.

Sonny: Yeah. What’s going on?

Dante: Carly and Alexis were attacked last night.


Chase: Ooh, it’s so hard to choose.

Violet: Last time, you wore pink.

Chase: Right, because I thought you preferred purple. I do, but when it’s on my head, I can’t see it. That’s why daddy usually picks purple.

Chase: Oh. Speaking of, your dad called me this morning, and he said he’s so excited to see you tonight, and then he blew you a big kiss, like this. Mwah!

Violet: [ Giggles ] You’re gonna have to call him back so you can blow him a kiss from me.

Chase: Or you could do it yourself.

Violet: That’s true.

Chase: Do you know what else is true? With your dad away, we could spend the whole day together. What do you want to do?

Violet: Tea party.

Chase: That’s an option. Or we could take a walk in the park, see the ducks in the lake.

Violet: Hm. Tea party.

Chase: Or we could go to the aquarium. I bet they have purple fish and all the sea creatures there.

Violet: Tea par-ty.

Chase: That’s three tea parties in less than 24 hours, Violet.

Violet: You can never have too many tea parties.

Chase: Noted.


Terry: Today’s mani-pedi is actually being underwritten by a generous benefactor, one who’s concerned about the amount of stress you’ve been under.

Elizabeth: Ah. Okay, thank you for telling me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go kill Finn.

Terry: Hey, hey, hey. Can you kill him after you get your nails done? You need this.

Elizabeth: One afternoon is not going to make me forget everything that’s going on.

Terry: And what exactly is “everything”? You’ve been tired, irritable. And the fact that Finn asked me to take you on this little outing only confirms that things are bigger than you’ve told me.

Elizabeth: I can handle it.

Terry: Right, so who done it, then, hmm? Who slashed your dress and stashed your wedding ring in your locker? Who burned down Franco’s studio, took his portrait of you, and left it at your house? If you’re handling it, you must know, then.

Elizabeth: I don’t enjoy you when you’re like this.

Terry: And yet you should be used to it by now. Come on. Enough with the silence and pretense. You’re telling me everything.

Elizabeth: Okay. Okay.

Terry: And don’t forget, I’ve known you longer than anyone, so don’t even think about holding back, because I’ll know.


Britt: As much as I hate to say this, Harmony Miller is only the first of many.

TJ: Patients I’ll lose in the future? [ Sighs ] Can’t wait.

Britt: It may not be comforting, but it’s the truth. [ Sighs ]

[ Cup taps lightly ]

Britt: How are you doing?

Amy: Dr. Westbourne! Hi, Dr. Ashford. Dr. Westbourne.

Britt: Hi, Nurse Driscoll. Is there something I can do for you?

Amy: Yes, at least I hope so. I agreed to work a double, but I’m not feeling well, so I was hoping…

Britt: Did you check with Epiphany?

Amy: She said it’s okay with her if it’s okay with you. And I just conducted my final patient rounds, and the beds on the floor and in the er are at below half capacity.

Britt: Okay, off you go. [ Chuckles ] Feel better. [ Sighs ] Okay. Where were we?

TJ: Uh, how — how am I doing? Y-you know, I did — I did everything I could to save my patient, and I still lost her, so I feel — I-I feel helpless, useless, defeated. You know, part of me wants to scream and — and throw my coffee against the wall. I just…

Britt: Well, TJ, you are a doctor, and this is a hospital. There are plenty of fantastic places to scream if you muffle the noise. [ Chuckles ]

TJ: [ Sighs ]

Britt: Try a few and pick your favorite.

TJ: I’ll do that. Thank you.


Dante: Uh, Carly and Alexis, they’re at home recovering, but, you know, they’re — they’re pretty rattled.

Sonny: Harmony — where is she now?

Dante: She’s dead.

Sonny: Dead? How?

Dante: She tried to make a getaway on foot and a car hit her. That’s all I can tell you right now.

Sonny: Okay. I gotta call Carly.

Dante: What’s the matter?

Sonny: No, it’s just — there was just a time when Carly would — would have called me for something like this, or the hospital would have contacted me as next of kin. But now that, you know, in the eyes of the law, we’re not family anymore, so…

Dante: Well, you know, families aren’t made and broken with emergency contact information.

Sonny: But they’re all — it’s family. There should always be, you know, trust. Care. I’m always gonna care for Carly the rest of my life. But now, you know, she just doesn’t want anything to do with me.


Carly: Keep that up, you’re going to wear a groove in the floor.

Michael: Yeah, I know, I’m just — I’m just still reeling about what happened. I mean, Willow was just starting to regain trust with Harmony, and now she has to deal with this?

Wiley: What about grandma Harmony?

Michael: Um…

Carly: What color do you want to color the car?

Wiley: Uh, blue.

Carly: Blue it is. Get going, alright? Um… you’re going to have to watch it.

Michael: I know. It’s — I-I just — I-I don’t understand what led Harmony to do what she did at Rana Point. I don’t, but… the police are investigating. That means this is gonna go public. Yeah. And the press is going to jump all over it. I know. I managed to stall Aurora’s digital press, but I can’t control all media. Eventually, this is going to come out, and I just don’t know how to protect Willow from the fallout.


Violet: How were the refreshments, Princess Brandywine?

Chase: [ Clears throat ] [ British accent ] Why, Lady Honeycutt, I do believe these are the finest scones I’ve ever had the good fortune to nibble on.

Violet: Why, thank you.

[ Knock on door ]

Chase: [ Normal voice ] Whoever you are, I owe you.

[ Lightsabers activate ]

Brook Lynn: [Laughing] May the 4th be with you.

Chase: I know, I know.

Brook Lynn: Ah! Tell me, young Skywalker, is that a Jedi tiara or a Sith tiara, hmm?

Violet: Uncle Chase is Princess Brandywine.

Chase: Ah. Yes, uh… Lady Honeycutt speaks the truth. [ British accent ] I am Princess Brandywine.

Brook Lynn: [ Laughs ] Well, then, call me Han Solo because I arrived in the nick of time.


Elizabeth: So now the boys and I are living apart. Aiden’s discussing Ouija boards with Lucy Coe, and I can’t even escape this menace in a hotel room. And that brings us to now.

Terry: Oh, my god, biz. I can’t believe you’ve been dealing with all this. You should have told me.

Elizabeth: [ Sighs ] I mean, the police are on the case, and Finn’s been really supportive. What more could you have done besides worry?

Terry: Offer my support? Someone to vent to? My home?

Elizabeth: Finn offered his home as well, but whatever this is, it followed me to the metro court. I don’t want it following me to your house.

Terry: Wait, “whatever” this is? Don’t you mean “whoever”?

Elizabeth: Aiden believes it’s franco’s ghost. And do you actually think he’s right? That you’re being stalked by franco’s ghost?

[ Door opens, closes ]

Elizabeth: Amy.


Dante: Look, you won’t know if Carly wants you to check in with her unless you reach out.

Sonny: Someone tries to kill Carly — she doesn’t reach out to me? Same thing with Michael? That sends a message. They don’t want anything to do with me.

Dante: What message? What do you — maybe they’re just catching their breath…

Sonny: Okay.

Dante: …Right now.

Sonny: Alright.

Dante: Come on.

Sonny: No, I’m just saying.

Dante: Look, last night was a crazy night. Alexis and Carly were still being treated when Harmony was brought in. I mean, it — we’re all still just trying to pick up the pieces of what happened. And then Michael, he was worried a-about Carly and Willow and maybe just too distracted to contact you, even if he thought about it. Even if he wanted to. I don’t know.

Sonny: Michael didn’t want to, but that’s his choice.

Dante: [ Sighs ] I guess so.

Sonny: Yeah.

Dante: You taking care of yourself?

Sonny: Uh… of course I am.

Dante: You lost your best friend, your wife, and now son.

Sonny: Thanks for reminding me.

Dante: Well, I’m not trying to remind you — I’m just trying to make you see that you’re getting more and more isolated, and sometimes, when that happens, we both know you can get vulnerable.


Michael: There’s just one thing I don’t understand about all this.

Carly: Just one?

Michael: As crazy as what, uh, Harm– actually, let’s — let’s go over here. As crazy as what Harmony did at Rana Point, I mean, what pushed her that far? I mean, she seemed like she was in a good place. She was rebuilding with Willow. And what she tried to do, it — it — it was so outrageous that it was guaranteed to fail — I mean, thank God, but she must’ve known that. So why jeopardize her relationship with Willow?

Carly: And this little guy.

Michael: Exactly. She was obviously desperate, and then… [ Scoffs ] I probably didn’t help that.


Sonny: You saying I’m vulnerable or my business is vulnerable? What are you — I don’t — I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.

Dante: Well, I can’t speak to your business for obvious reasons, but as your son right now, I’m just saying that I’m concerned. I don’t want you to start drinking again or get off your meds.

Sonny: Well, you’re not wrong, and I appreciate your concern.

Dante: Okay.

Sonny: But I got it handled.

Dante: On the drinking or the meds?

Sonny: Both.

Dante: Alright. [ Clears throat ] What about the loneliness? You got that handled, too?

Sonny: You know, let me just say this — you don’t have to worry about me. [ Breathing sharply ]

Dante: Alright. Good enough. I gotta go to the Quartermaines’ and talk to Willow, alright?

Sonny: Alright.

Dante: See you around.

Sonny: Alright, see you later.


TJ: I almost wish I could compartmentalize my emotions.

Britt: No chief wants robots populating their staff.

TJ: You don’t want doctors lined up outside the call room, taking turns having a good cry, right?

Britt: I don’t know. Sounds pretty good to me.

Mm.

[ Telephones ringing in distance ]

Britt: It wasn’t that long ago I had to deliver devastating news to new parents.

TJ: Brando and Sasha?

Britt: [ Sighs ] Feeling too much and feeling too little, both have their drawbacks. But given the choice, I want medical professionals who treat patients using their heart as well as their head.

TJ: My — my favorite professor always said that good doctoring comes from good listening, and good listening can’t always be taught.

Britt: It’s also not billable.

TJ: [ Chuckles ] Yeah.

Britt: The trick is to combine compassion with efficient care.

TJ: You make that sound really easy.

Britt: Oh, no, it — it’s not. [ Laughs ] But it is doable. Tell me, TJ, what kind of doctor do you want to be?


Elizabeth: Amy, come join us.

Amy: Uh, I’m here for a manicure, not a pedicure, but thanks.

Terry: I thought you were working a double.

Amy: I was, but I wasn’t feeling well after last night.

Terry: Were you prescribed a cuticle trim?

Amy: I’ll find another salon.

Elizabeth: No, no, no, no. You don’t have to do that. We can save shoptalk for when we get back to work. Okay?

Amy: No, not okay. Dr. Randolph, why are you always picking on me lately? We’re not even at the hospital and you’re getting all up in my business.

Terry: Because, to the best of my knowledge, you’re supposed to be at the hospital.

Amy: Dr. Ashford lost his first patient last night. I was working with him. We couldn’t save her. It got to me.

Terry: I’m sorry to hear that.

Amy: Thank you.

Terry: And I have my job to do.

Amy: Well, I don’t like the way you’re doing it, and I’m probably not the only one.

Terry: Which is why staff are given the opportunity to evaluate hospital leadership quarterly.

Amy: Well, I may forgo that and march straight to Monica.

Terry: Knock yourself out, Amy. We’re done.

Elizabeth: Hey, Amy, I understand that you’re upset, but let’s all just take a deep breath, you guys.

Terry: It’s fine, Elizabeth. Amy’s entitled to her anger.

Amy: Oh, gee, thank you.

Terry: You’re also entitled to file a formal complaint with the board. What you’re not entitled to do is try to ruin my day off.

Amy: [ Scoffs ]

Elizabeth: Finn was right. It’s definitely got my mind off of my problems.


Chase: You are so my hero.

Brook Lynn: [ Sighs ]

Chase: Did you pick these up on the way over?

Brook Lynn: Are you kidding? All the good lightsabers are gone by the end of April. My dad actually got these a while back for Rocco and Leo. Since you couldn’t go to “Star Wars,” I thought I’d bring “Star Wars” to you.

[ Lightsabers whirring ]

Chase: I glad you remembered.

Brook Lynn: Of course I remembered.

Chase: Why “of course”? Well, it’s a very important day in this galaxy, and it’s really important to you.

Violet: Uncle Chase, come sword fight with me.

Brook Lynn: You heard the princess.

Chase: Hey, that is mine. Well… okay, Violet, first of all, this is called a lightsaber, and it is the ancient and sacred weapon of the warriors known as the Jedi. Wah!

[ Lightsabers bleeping ]

Chase: Unh! Wsssh! Aaah!


Michael: I was always so guarded with Harmony, and she felt it. You know, maybe if I was more accepting, she would have been honest.

Carly: Stop that. No one made Harmony do what she did. She made the choice to hurt people.

[ Knock on door ]

Michael: [ Sighs ] Hey, Dante.

Dante: Hey, everybody.

Wiley: Hi, Uncle Dante.

[ Door closes ]

Dante: Hey, pal, how you doing?

Carly: So, are you here to see Willow?

Dante: Yeah. Is she resting? If so, I can come back another time.

Carly: Oh.

Michael: Hey, bud, your mom’s awake. She could use a hug.

Carly: Willow, what can we do for you?

Willow: Hugs help.

Carly: Well, then I’m next in line. [ Chuckles ]

Willow: Aww.

Carly: Oh, I’m so sorry. Alright, why don’t I take this little guy up to the main house, alright? And I’ll be right back. Come on. Let’s go get some yummy snacks in the big house.

Michael: How you holding up?

[ Door closes ]

Willow: Last night was…

Michael: Overwhelming?

Dante: Hey, Willow, um… I do have more information for you, if you feel like you’re ready for it.


Chet: Mr. Corinthos, if you have a minute, Dex would like to say goodbye. It’s his, uh, last day here.

Dex: Thank you for the opportunity, Mr. Corinthos. I hope my work was satisfactory.

Sonny: Listen, if — if I ever need anybody to replace Chet, I’ll give you a call. What’s next for you?

Dex: Not sure. Ideally, I’d love to stay on here in some other capacity.

Chet: Well, I wish we had a more permanent position for you at the gym, but we’re fully staffed.

Dex: Till something opens up, I’m — I’m more than happy to scrub floors, fix equipment, wash towels. I mean, no job is too big or small. I’m just asking for a chance.


Elizabeth: Since when is there friction between you and Amy?

Terry: I’ve had to call her out a few times. Nurse Driscoll thinks it’s personal, but it really isn’t. I shouldn’t lose my temper. It’s unprofessional. And even worse, it causes frown lines.

Elizabeth: Well, then, let’s talk about something that makes you smile, like your secret “lovah.”

Terry: Uh, he is not my “lovah.” And it’s not a secret, I just don’t want to jinx it.

Elizabeth: [ Sighs ] If not his name, give me something.

Terry: He’s funny and handsome, a real gentleman, and he looks great in a t-shirt. [ Chuckles ]

Elizabeth: Go on.

Terry: I met him a few months ago. We had a drink on Valentine’s, and then he had to leave town.

Elizabeth: Oh, well, that’s not a good sign.

Terry: We kept in touch. And, my god, Biz, the man gives great text.

Elizabeth: Oh, gee. Sounds like you’re in trouble.

Terry: [ Laughs ] Hey, speaking of trouble, are you gonna be okay at the hotel tonight?

[ Water bubbling ]

Elizabeth: I just forgot to latch the door. It’s not gonna happen again.

Terry: Did you at least call hotel security?

Elizabeth: [ Sighs ] Hotel security, the police, and nothing seems to help. I don’t know, maybe nothing can.

Terry: The ghost theory.

Elizabeth: I know you’re a woman of science, and so am I. But at this point, I’m willing to try everything.

Terry: Whatever eases your mind.

Elizabeth: Great. So will you go someplace with me later this week?

Terry: Can you be more specific?

Elizabeth: Why? You already trust me. You don’t need to know.

Terry: Unfortunately, that’s true.

Elizabeth: Great. But right now, I need to get back to work, and you need to prep for your hot date.

Terry: Mm. [ Chuckles ]


Brook Lynn: Mmm, my word, Lady Honeycutt, this tea is delicious.

Violet: Thank you, Queen Marshmallow.

Brook Lynn: [ Laughs ] Please tell me you have something strong and real to put in these cups.

Chase: Oh, now you know my pain.

Brook Lynn: [ Chuckles ]

Violet: The tea is orange spice, daddy’s favorite.

Brook Lynn: Oh. Is daddy working today?

Violet: He had an emergency at the hospital. He is saving lives.

Brook Lynn: I know. Finn helps a lot of people.

Violet: Chase helps a lot of people, too.

Brook Lynn: Right, police officers certainly help people, and your Uncle Chase is one of the best.

Chase: I miss it.

Brook Lynn: It’s just a few more weeks. [ Clears throat ] You hear that, Violet? Your Uncle Chase is gonna be back to saving the galaxy very soon, just like Luke — Luke…

Chase: Skywalker?

Brook Lynn: Right. Skywalker. How could I forget?

Chase: It’s too bad we’re not going to the movie tonight. You could use a refresher.

Brook Lynn: Well, maybe we can have a private screening someday soon.


TJ: I want to be the kind of doctor that — that people are happy to see again. And I want them to trust me, to know that I will move heaven and earth for them. And — and to be the kind of doctor that can provide solace when healing is impossible.

Britt: And how’s that going for you so far?

TJ: I did all I could to save Harmony. But when I had to break the news to her daughter last night, every bit of confidence, all of my training went out the window, and I felt completely out of my depth.

Britt: Well, Dr. Ashford, congratulations. You’re still human. [ Chuckles ] But you can’t tell when the losses are gonna hit. You could go a whole year without one.

TJ: Mm.

Britt: And then you could have three in one hour.

TJ: Damn.

Britt: You may need to learn not to internalize every loss. I mean, that is — that takes a toll.

TJ: What do you suggest?

Britt: Self-care. I-I know it’s an overused, crunchy granola term these days, but the whole concept of putting an oxygen mask on first on an airplane — you have to take care of you first. I know it sounds selfish, but it’s the first step in helping others.

TJ: I-I will remember that, but do you have any recommendations or suggestions for self-care?

Britt: Uh, I mean, find something that brings you peace. For some people, it’s exercise and therapy — for others, it’s a hobby or spending time with loved ones. You’ve been here all night, right?

TJ: And I still have all day.

Britt: While you were worrying about Willow’s family, have you had time to check in on your own? How’s Molly doing after her mom was attacked?

TJ: I spoke with her briefly, and — and she’s upset, of course, but, you know, she’s Molly.

Britt: I don’t know what that means.

[ Both laugh ]

TJ: Okay. Not only is she holding it together, but she’s holding everyone together.

Britt: That sounds rough. It’s a lot. You’ve had a rough night. Just say the word, and I can have you covered.

TJ: You mean…?

Britt: I mean, I’m saying you can go home. [ Laughs ] This is the time, TJ, in the beginning of your career where you have to determine what matters most to you and make it a priority. Otherwise, you can count on having many more dark, lonely nights of the soul. [ Sighs ]


Dante: Uh, you want to sit down? Uh, officially, I’m here to update you on our investigation.

Willow: And unofficially? Well, unofficially, um…

[ Door opens ]

Carly: Hey. Okay. What’d I miss?

Michael: We just got started.

Carly: Oh.

Dante: Unofficially, I’m here as family.

Willow: Thank you. But please just tell me why my mother tried to kill Carly and Alexis last night.

Carly: At Alexis’s house, I found papers that implicated Harmony in a crime, and to stop me from exposing it, Harmony attacked me and drugged me.

Willow: I know all that. What I don’t know is why. What was my mother trying to hide?

Dante: Harmony had killed before.


Violet: Thank you for making my tea party such a delightful occasion.

Brook Lynn: Mm.

Violet: I’m gonna go clean this up now. Don’t have any fun without me.

Chase: [ Laughs ]

Brook Lynn: [ Chuckles ] Aww, Violet wanted to clean up by herself? I’ll never be able to raise a kid who’s half as well-mannered as her.

Chase: Are you kidding me? You’re gonna be a great mom.

Brook Lynn: I don’t know.

Chase: I’ve seen you in action, remember?

Brook Lynn: [ Sighs ]

Chase: Uh, how’s Leo? Is he feeling any better about his upcoming performance?

Brook Lynn: He’s still nervous, but you definitely helped.

Chase: I think we helped. We make a good team.

Brook Lynn: But there’s only so much we could do. I mean, drama therapy is definitely helping, but stage fright is very, very real.

Chase: Even when you’re not the one performing?

Brook Lynn: [ Sighs ]

Chase: Have you written any songs lately?

Brook Lynn: Nope. [ Scoffs ]

Chase: You are a gifted songwriter, Brook Lynn.

Brook Lynn: I-I used to be. I mean, what if my new stuff isn’t — what if it isn’t… [ Sighs ]

Chase: There’s only one way to find out.

Brook Lynn: [ Scoffs ]

Chase: I get it, you know.

Brook Lynn: Really?

Chase: Sure. I haven’t done my job in so long. I mean, what if I can’t remember how to do it?

Brook Lynn: You’re a pro. It’ll be like riding a bike.

Chase: If you can have this much faith in me, why can’t you do the same for yourself?


Terry: [ Laughs ]

Elizabeth: Well, thanks for our girls’ outing.

Terry: Make sure you thank Finn, too.

Elizabeth Ohh.

Terry: Preferably before you kill him for being considerate of your feelings.

Elizabeth: [ Laughs ]

Terry: He should know by now how much kindness annoys you.

Elizabeth: Seriously, what is wrong with that guy?

Terry:[ Laughs ]

Elizabeth: And thanks for the ride back. You didn’t need to.

Terry: No worries. I left something in my office.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Terry: Let me know the day of our mystery appointment.

Elizabeth: And let me know how your date goes.

Terry: [ Chuckles ] Britt, did you know that Amy Driscoll blew off her second shift for a manicure?

Britt: I did tell her she could leave early, but a manicure? Good for her.

Terry: Excuse me? [ Laughs ]

Britt: She lost a patient last night.

Terry: [ Scoffs ] And it sucks that Amy had a rough night, but it doesn’t excuse the way she spoke to me.

Britt: I’ll address it with her.

Terry: I was just going to have Epiphany talk to her.

Britt: I—I’d like a shot at it. Use the carrot instead of the stick. It’s–it’s a thing I’m trying.

Terry: Okay. Thanks. Let me know how it goes.

Britt: That’s not what you’re wearing on your date, is it?

Terry: [ Laughs ]


Sonny: I appreciate your hustle. Uh, I don’t think — we don’t have any jobs right now.

Dex: It was worth a try. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, am I right?

Sonny: Good attitude.

Amy: Chet.

Chet: What? Uh, excuse me. Family awaits.

Sonny: Okay, speaking of family, I got to make a call. So don’t be a stranger, Dex.

Dex: Absolutely.

[ Men grunting ]

Sonny: Carly? Hi. Um, I heard about last night. I just — I just want to make sure you’re okay.

[ Men grunting ]

Sonny: What the hell?!

Dex: Knock it off!

Man: Come on, kid! Come on, kid!

Dex: This is not some back alley! Have some respect. Come on.


Dante: The body of Brendon Byrne surfaced off pier 54. We have evidence that Harmony murdered him.

Willow: But why would my mother kill Brendon Byrne? Did he have a connection to Dawn of Day and Shiloh?

Dante: Well, the only connection we are aware of is that he was Dr. Neil Byrne’s brother, whom Harmony also murdered.

Michael: Hold on, are — are you saying that Harmony murdered a man to conceal that she killed his brother and then tried to kill my mom and Alexis to cover?

Dante: That’s what I’m saying.

Willow: I’m sorry. That — that can’t be right. My mother had her faults, but she was kind, compassionate. She was not a murderer.

Dante: Uh, Willow… Harmony committed a crime years ago, and she went to great lengths to hide it.

Willow: Having to do with her past?

Dante: Having to do with her past… and yours.


Terry: How did you know I have a date?

Britt: When I’m bored, I hack into your personal calendar, e-mails, and browser history.

Terry: Oh.

Britt: I also just overheard Elizabeth.

Terry: [ Scoffs ] Well, if you must know, I’m going home to change. So thanks for asking.

Britt: Mm. Not a fan of unsolicited advice?

Terry: Is anyone?

Britt: Well, then, you’re probably not gonna like what I’m about to say.

Terry: Go on.

Britt: Forget about Amy. Forget about the hospital. Forget about everything right now. Enjoy your date.


Dex: You guys are busted. Get out of here. Let’s go.

Amy: She has it in for me, I swear.

Chet: Well, I’m sure that is not the case.

Amy: Thanks for telling me my feelings and perceptions are invalid. You’re a great brother.

Chet: It’s not like you don’t have a history of blowing things out of proportion.

Amy: You’re adopted.

Chet: Actually, you were.

Amy: Oh, what? [ Laughs ] No, I wasn’t.

Chet: You and your boss are going through a rough patch. You should probably just talk it out.

Amy: You don’t know this woman, Chet. She is completely unreasonable.

Chet: Yeah, I can’t imagine what that’s like.

Amy: There is no point in talking it out. Instead, I’m simply going to avoid her whenever possible.


Terry: Wait, wait, wait a second. You, Britt Westbourne, she of the caustic remarks, who freely judges the choices of others, is actually telling me to go out and —

Britt: Just enjoy yourself.

Terry: [ Scoffs ] You know, you’re continually not as aggravating as I thought you’d be.

Britt: What a compliment.

Terry: [ Chuckles ]

Britt: Now get out of here.

[ Both laugh ]

TJ: You were right.

Britt: As usual. About what?

TJ: I took your advice. I called Molly, and she wants to curl up on the couch, watch “Star Wars,” and eat vegan pizza.

Britt: Sounds like the perfect way to recharge.

TJ: So I would like to take you up on your offer, if that’s okay.

Britt: Go. Leave. Be with your domestic partner.

TJ: Awesome. I just need to tie up a few things, and I’ll be on my way.

Britt: Okay. I will hold down the fort. Enjoy that vegan pizza. And, TJ, May the 4th be with you. Besides, it’s not like I have anyone waiting for me tonight. [ Sighs ]


Elizabeth: Chelsea, hi. My name is Elizabeth. Lucy Coe referred me to you. I would like to schedule a session. I need help explaining the unexplainable.


Brook Lynn: I know what I’ll do. I-I will start saying daily affirmations, like, “I am good enough, I am strong enough, and I will hit the game-winning home run on opening day of the summer softball league.

Chase: Oh, in your dreams. No, not even in your dreams.

Brook Lynn: The Deception team has something the PCPD team doesn’t.

Chase: Yeah, what’s that?

Brook Lynn: [ Laughs ] A base stealer from Bensonhurst with a .350 batting average.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Violet: The tea set’s put away.

Chase: Oh. Guess what — I have an idea. If Leo’s free, the four of us could, uh, go to Kelly’s for dinner.

Brook Lynn: That’s a really great idea. Leo can practice his poem for Violet.

Chase: And then we can go back to rounding the bases.

Brook Lynn: [ Laughs ]

Chase: In terms of softball and describing how softball works.

Brook Lynn: Alright.

Violet: As long as we can bring the lightsabers.

Brook Lynn: It’s a date.

Violet: It’s a date.

[ Laughter ]


Dex: Sorry, Mr. Corinthos. I gave those guys a talking-to. They won’t cause any more trouble.

Sonny: You know what? You know how to handle yourself.

Dex: Just doing my job. Well…you know.

Sonny: You know, I’ll tell you what. There might be something that, you know, I-I might have for you. Why don’t you come by my office later and we’ll talk about your future?


Willow: So this crime my mom committed all those years ago, it was referenced in the papers you found?

Carly: They were session notes from dr. Byrne, who was apparently Harmony’s psychiatrist. And in the notes, dr. Byrne wrote that Harmony revealed a secret to him.

Willow: And what was the secret?

Carly: Uh, Willow…

Dante: Carly, I’m going to stop you before you go any further. Willow, I’m obligated to tell you that, uh, we have yet to verify these and other details, but having said that, we have no reason to doubt the veracity of the comments Dr. Byrne made that, uh, Harmony confessed to doing.

Willow: Thank you, Dante. I understand. Now, can somebody please just tell me?

Dante: Harmony was not your biological mother.

Harmony: She was…one of two. My Willow, she had another half.

Carly: Had another half? Was Willow a twin?

Harmony: Nelle…

Carly: Nelle? Oh my God.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Sasha: What the hell are you doing here?

Brando: I’m hoping you know what to do.

Jordan (to Curtis): And how exactly did you manage to do that, when I said no?

Nina (to Scott): I need your full and complete attention.

Willow (to Carly): Did Harmony tell you anything?

Sonny (to Dex): If that’s a problem, we stop right now.

TR: if it wasn’t for you, paulina. If you’re not with the twins, you’re here taking care of me, making sure I never have to leave his side.

Paulina: It is my honor to support my daughter and my son-in-law. And I am going to keep right on doing it, as long as you need me to. Oh.

TR: How are my two favorite girls?

Paulina: Mm, more flowers. You’re going to make all the other patients very jealous.

Lani: Thank you, tr. They’re lovely.

TR: How’s the patient? Any change?

Lani: Unfortunately, no. But I keep talking to him, telling him how we all cannot wait for him to come back. And, I don’t know, maybe it’s just wishful thinking, but I really feel like he’s listening this time.

Paulina: Oh, I don’t think it’s wishful thinking at all, darling. I think eli hears every word that you say to him and that he’s working very hard to get back to you and those beautiful children.

Tripp: So, what brings you in today, ms. Howard?

[Tense music]

[Elevator dings]

Chanel: How-how are you feeling?

Johnny: Much better. Yeah, as you could see, last night, I was in pretty rough shape, but I’m all rehydrated and good to go.

Chanel: G, are you sure? You’ve been through a lot.

Johnny: Ah, it wasn’t that bad. I mean, sure, I was possessed by the devil, held prisoner in a crypt, almost strangled to death by my dead uncle. But, hey, everyone’s got their problems, right?

Chanel: Yeah, way to put things in perspective.

Johnny: You know, to be honest, all that did do a pretty good number on me, but I’m fine now.

Chanel: And I assume you’re headed home to rest?

Johnny: No way. I need to find allie.

Demon allie: Now that I’ve convinced you that your beloved husband is dead and you’re in mortal danger from the maniac who killed him, you can stay here with me, where you’ll be safe. I’ll keep a close eye on you until you give birth, and then that baby will finally be mine. That’s the plan, ciara. And nobody and nothing is going to stop me.

Susan: Oh, ben, I got your message and I came as soon as I could!

Ben: Susan, I am freaking out. Nobody has seen or heard from ciara since yesterday.

Susan: Oh, what about allie?

Ben: Nobody’s seen or heard from her either.

Susan: Well, I mean, she’s possessed, so that’s hardly surprising.

Ben: Susan, I need to find ciara right now. She could give birth at any time, and the devil is after our baby.

Susan: Okay. You know what, ben? I know how scared you must be after tangling with the devil up close and personal, but you know what? You and ciara, you have a special love. And you know what? Love will always win over evil every time.

Ben: [Sighs] I really hope you’re right. And I really hope that we can use your powers to help me connect with her again, just like you did before. Please.

Susan: Oh, okay, okay. All right, you know the drill. You just go get you something of hers and then, we’ll get cracking, huh? I’m gonna have you two lovebirds chirping in no time! Whoo!

[Sighs] Yeah.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Ben: I gave this to ciara as an anniversary gift.

Susan: It’s a little small, isn’t it?

Ben: It’s symbolic. The bike is what brought us together.

Susan: You know, that is real sweet, ben. That’s real sweet. All right, we’re gonna do this like we did before. Nice and easy, all right?

Ben: [Sighs]

Susan: Okay.

[Inhales deeply] Ahh.

[Inhales deeply] Ooh. Ciara alice brady weston! Oh, honey, I need to feel your presence, sweetheart!

Ben: Anything?

Susan: Uh…no. Here, you hold it. You hold it. Hold it, huh? Come on! Let’s do this! All right, come on!

[Clears throat] Sweetheart, I got your hubby right here! You know, he’s alive and he’s well and he’s reaching out to you, sweetie. He’s reaching out to you and he loves you so much! And I just– I want you to feel his love! Feel his love! Come on! Come on, huh? Anything? Nothing. Why don’t you talk to her?

Ben: Ciara, it’s me. I’m alive and I’m trying to find you, but I need your help.

Ciara: Ben?

Susan: Come on, ben. Keep going. Keep going, honey. Come on.

Ben: Ciara, my love, if you can hear me, I need you to tell me where you are.

Ciara: Ben. Ben, is that you?

[Gasps] Allie.

Allie: Hey, I think you were having a nightmare.

Ciara: No, that wasn’t a nightmare. Allie, it was ben. I heard him. Allie, he’s alive!

Ben: Aw, so close. I-I almost felt her. I swear to god, I was so close. I don’t–I don’t know. Something happened.

Susan: All right, hold on. It’s-it’s the devil. The devil was messing up the signal, that’s all.

Ben: So then, now what? What do we do?

TR: What’s the latest with eli’s doctors? Do they think he has a chance to wake up?

Paulina: Ha, forget those doctors. This wonderful man with a smile that lights up the world? Oh, he’s coming out of this. I am sure of it.

Abe: Wow. It’s a full house, huh?

Lani: [Sighs] Come on in, dad.

Abe: I thought there weren’t supposed to be too many people in this room right now.

Paulina: Um, I’ll go. Yeah, I got to use the little girls’ room anyway. I’ll talk to you later, okay, sweetheart?

Lani: Oh, okay.

Paulina: Okay.

[Door shuts]

Abe: Well, was it something I said?

TR: More like something you did.

Chanel: G, it might not be that easy for you to find your sister. You see, I don’t know if anyone told you this, but she– allie, she took ciara.

Johnny: What? What? Took? Took her where?

Chanel: No one knows.

Johnny: Oh, my god. And the devil wants my cousin’s baby.

Chanel: Every cop in town has been looking for them. Oh, g, what if they shoot first and then ask questions later? I’m scared, johnny. I am so scared.

Johnny: It’s okay.

[Elevator dings]

Paulina: What the hell is going on here? I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Tripp: Ms. Howard, may I ask how you got injured this way?

Beth: I tripped. Landed on my face.

Tripp: Are you sure? Anything you tell me will remain strictly confidential. The doctors who work here are given treatment guidelines. They help us to accurately identify what’s going on with patients so we can provide the help that they need. I want to make sure that I’m doing all I can to help you, ms. Howard. So, I have to ask, did someone do this to you? There’s another option that might make you a little more comfortable. In situations like this, it’s often helpful to call in a female police officer.

Beth: No. No cops. Look, I’m in a lot of pain. I just need a prescription for painkillers.

Tripp: You should probably be admitted.

Beth: No, I can’T. I can’T. I can’t be here. I have to work.

Tripp: Ice first, then heat in a couple of days. And switch to ibuprofen as soon as you can.

Beth: I will.

Tripp: Would you like me to call a friend to pick you up?

Beth: No, I’m good.

[Sighs]

[Solemn music]

Abe: So what exactly is it that you think I did?

TR: Paulina told me that she made it clear that she still had feelings for you, and you rejected her.

Abe: And what the hell business is it of yours?

TR: Actually, it is. I care about her very much, and I don’t want to see her get hurt.

Abe: [Laughs] That is rich coming from you. If anyone–

Lani: Okay, stop! Stop! Dad, stop! Stop it! My husband is fighting for his life, and you two are standing there arguing? What is wrong with you?

Paulina: Keep your filthy hands off my daughter!

Johnny: Look, ms. Price, I know how you feel about me, but chanel, can you please explain to your mother that I’m not the horrible person she thinks I am? I’m sorry. I-I really have to go.

Paulina: [Scoffs] Of course. Of course he runs off. Damn coward!

Chanel: No, johnny really does have something important to do.

Paulina: Oh, yeah, and what is that? Get to a hot date?

Chanel: No, he spent the night here last night, mama. He just got released.

Paulina: And went straight to manhandling you.

Chanel: No, he was comforting me because I was upset. That’s all.

Paulina: Oh, chanel, please don’t tell me that you’re getting sucked back into being with that little punk.

Chanel: You don’t understand.

Paulina: Oh, I understand all right! I understand that he and his twisted sister, they treated you like dirt, shattered your heart into a million pieces!

Chanel: Johnny never meant to hurt me, mama. And neither did allie.

Paulina: What? Well, what is this? This 180 you’re doing here, chanel? Suddenly defending those two? Making excuses for their disgraceful behavior?

Chanel: I’m not making excuses. I’m telling you that– that they weren’t responsible for that behavior.

Paulina: How could they not be? What in the world?

Chanel: It wasn’t them. Mama, they were possessed by the devil.

Allie: Ciara, honey, you couldn’t have heard ben. You were just dreaming.

Ciara: Allie, it was more than that. I’ve had this feeling before I know what this is, the feeling of ben trying to call out to me and reach out to me. I know that that is what this is. I just heard his voice telling me that he needs me.

Allie: Ciara, that’s impossible. And I know this is so hard to accept, but ben is dead.

Ciara: No, allie, I don’t believe that. Every part of me is telling me that that’s not true. Ben just told me himself. Allie, I have to find him.

Allie: Ciara, what you have to do is you have to take care of yourself and your baby, okay? And that means that we need to hide out here until they find evan frears, because if he finds you, he will kill you and your unborn child. Do you understand that?

Ciara: Yeah. Yeah, I guess I do. But what I don’t understand is why the cops aren’t standing guard outside. Rafe said he would send some, so where the hell are they?

Susan: Oh, the devil! The devil! He has isolated ciara! I mean, he wants her and the baby all to himself.

Ben: Yeah, but ciara doesn’t know that. She doesn’t know that allie is possessed, so she trusts her. That’s why the devil, aka allie, is able to manipulate ciara into doing whatever the hell he wants her to do.

Susan: No, not if she is strong and determined like we know she is.

Ben: [Sighs] True, but she just has to hang on until I can get to her.

Susan: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. She sure as shootin’ will. You mark my word for that! And if that devil gets in our way, ben weston, we are gonna go right the heck around him! That’s what we’re gonna do, because we are gonna find your wife. I promise you. I promise you, because love– love will find a way. Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Abe: Sweetheart, I apologize.

TR: Lani, forgive me.

Lani: Whatever is going on between you two, I cannot have it going on in this room.

Abe: Understood.

[Cell phone buzzes]

TR: Oh, this is my west coast backer again. Look, I’m sorry, I have to take this. You hang in there, okay? I’m praying you for eli.

[Door shuts]

Abe: His west coast backer calls and he just leaves? His work is more important than being here with you.

Lani: Dad.

Susan: Oh, we need to think, think, think, and figure out how to get you and your spunky wife reconnected.

[Exhales sharply]

Ben: Susan.

Susan: Whoo! No, hold on. I’m just gonna get my little noodle working again.

Ben: No, I have an idea.

Susan: What? Hit me, then.

Ben: You remember how ciara and I have communicated psychically before, right? Like when everybody thought she was dead?

Susan: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember. Your wedding picture and the fortune cookie.

Ben: Yeah, but also when she was trapped in that glass room and she was being held prisoner, we had the same dream at the same time. I was romeo and she was juliet, and she used lines from the play to reach out to me and message me to tell me that she was alive and I needed to find her.

Susan: Okay. Do you have that play? ‘Cause this thing isn’t working.

Ben: Of course.

Susan: Okay! Well, don’t just stand there, romeo. Go fetch it.

[Sighs]

Allie: Actually, the cops did come by. Two cops.

Ciara: What? How did I not know this?

Allie: You were asleep.

Ciara: Then why didn’t you wake me up?

Allie: There was no reason to; they didn’t have any new information.

Ciara: No new information? Allie, they must have said something.

Allie: Just that they have an apb out on evan.

Ciara: Oh, so you’re telling me that we are still in serious danger and the cops just left us?

Allie: No, no. They are down at the dock, okay? It’s the only way onto the island, and they’re keeping a watch so that no one can come hurt you.

Ciara: Okay, well, I want to talk to them. I just heard ben’s voice. I know he’s alive and I need to find him.

Allie: Okay, the cops made it very clear that leaving is not an option. For your safety and for your baby’s safety, you need to stay here.

Ciara: Damn it.

Allie: Hey, ciara? Hey, you really need to calm down, so how about– how about we do some of your lamaze breathing, okay?

Ciara: [Exhales sharply] I was supposed to do all that with ben. He was supposed to be my birthing coach. Allie, I need him. My baby needs him. I miss him so much.

Allie: Hey. Well, you’re not alone, ciara. You have me. I’ll be your birthing coach. And I’ll be so honored to do it, to help bring this precious baby boy into the world.

Paulina: So you’re saying to me all that exorcism did was to get the devil out of marlena? It didn’t get rid of him once and for all?

Chanel: Apparently not.

Paulina: Oh, all the more reason for you not to go anywhere near those evil twins. I don’t want satan jumping into you next.

Chanel: Mama, please. There are more important things to worry about right now. Allie, she-she took ciara.

Paulina: What? What do you mean “took”?

Chanel: Kidnapped. Abducted. Tricked into leaving town. They’re gone and no one knows where they went, but we do know that the devil wants ciara’s baby.

Paulina: Oh, lord, no.

Chanel: Yeah. Johnny– oh, god, I feel so bad for him– he went looking for them. Maybe I should see if I could help him.

Paulina: Oh, no. Didn’t I just tell you that you got to stay away from those two? Now, look, you’re not going anywhere near that mess. Let’s just go get some coffee, and you can tell me the rest of this insane story.

TR: I will get the money. I know I said I’d have it by now, but it won’t be long. Next week at the latest. You have my word. Hello? Hello? Damn.

[Sighs] What the hell are you doing back here? Okay, snacks and popcorn are gonna be expensive.

Abe: Look, I am so sorry, lani. I-I know I should keep my opinions to myself. Ray is your biological father, and he has every right to be here.

Lani: Still, dad, I– I understand your concerns about him. And why wouldn’t you have them, given what you know about the man? For years, he abused paulina and drugs. But, dad, since eli’s shooting, he has been great. He’s been here every day. He’s been helping out with the kids. Don’t worry. I would never leave jules and carver alone with him. But they are his grandchildren.

Abe: Well, they’re mine too. I mean, you can tell me not to worry all you want, but–

Lani: Dad, I know. I know tr’s history, okay? And I will keep my guard up, but honestly, I do not think that he’s a threat anymore. Look, he’s trying so hard to prove that he’s become a different man.

Abe: I don’t think that’s possible. I know from kate and nicole, who had experiences with abusers, that men like that rarely change.

Lani: And my experience as a cop tells me the same thing. But rarely is not never. What if tr is the exception?

Abe: And what if he’s not?

TR: If you think you’re gonna shoot your mouth off to lani again–

Beth: I’m not here to see lani. I’m here to see a doctor.

TR: You can’t be seen like this!

Beth: You think I want to be? I spent the entire day in my room trying to bear it, waiting for my ears to stop ringing, my eye to stop throbbing, for it to stop hurting just to breathe. I finally had to come get some painkillers. I’m on my way back to the motel now.

TR: Not good enough. You need to leave town. Go back to la.

Beth: Excuse me?

TR: I want you on the next flight out.

Beth: But what about the movie? I’ll look fine by then.

TR: The hell you will! You can’t do a movie looking like that!

Beth: You did this to me.

TR: [Scoffs] You’re lucky that’s all I did.

Ciara: Allie, I appreciate your offer, I really do, but ben and I have been practicing for months. He was supposed to be my birthing coach. I really– I don’t think I can have this baby without him.

Ben: “If I profane with my unworthiest hand…”

Ciara: Did you hear that?

Allie: Did I hear what?

Ciara: I just– I just heard something. Didn’t you?

Allie: No.

Ciara: Wait. I hear it again.

Ben: “This holy shrine.”

Susan: Keep going.

Ben: “The gentle fine is this.”

Ciara: [Gasps] I definitely heard it that time, allie. It was ben’s voice. He was reciting “romeo and juliet.”

Allie: There’s no way.

Ben: “My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.”

Ciara: Oh, my god. It is you. It’s really you, ben. You’re here. The world is full of make or break moments.

Ben: The next line is juliet’S.

Susan: Anything?

Ben: Maybe it’s not working.

Ciara: “Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much.”

Ben: Oh, my god. Ciara, I can hear you.

Ciara: “Which mannerly devotion shows in this? For saints have hands that pilgrims’ hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmers’ kiss.”

Ben: [Exhales sharply] Ciara, wherever you are, you must be hearing and seeing me too. I am alive, baby. Please don’t give up on me. I’m alive, and I’m gonna find you.

Ciara: I believe you, ben.

Ben: Baby, please tell me where you are.

Ciara: I’m right here, baby. I can reach out and touch you.

[Dramatic music]

[Exhales sharply] No!

[Sinister music]

Abe: Ray is always on his best behavior around you and paulina, but I don’t buy it. I don’t think he’s truly reformed.

Lani: His most recent girlfriend, beth howard, she even vouched for him. She said that he never used drugs or laid a hand on her the entire time that they were together.

Abe: What is it?

Lani: Remember when beth came by to visit me the other day?

Abe: She brought flowers.

Lani: Yeah, and after you left, she–she said she had something to tell me. I sort of forgot about it, but now–

Abe: Does it have something to do with ray?

Lani: I don’t know. We got interrupted, and then she left, and… I never found out what it was.

Abe: Maybe you should.

Beth: What are you gonna do to me that you haven’t already done? Shoot me, like you shot eli?

TR: Shut up! I told you I had nothing to do with that.

Beth: And you also told everybody that you weren’t doing drugs and you weren’t beating women.

TR: You deserve what I did to you. You broke our agreement.

Beth: So what happens now? I go back to la and you propose to paulina?

TR: And she says yes. Everything is working out exactly as planned with paulina.

Beth: What if she starts asking questions? Are you gonna kill her? Hell, you almost killed me just for being in the same room with your daughter.

TR: Keep your voice down.

Beth: Like I said, paulina price is no fool. She is not gonna let you get away with robbing her blind.

TR: [Scoffs] Don’t you worry about paulina. Worry about what’s going to happen to you if you stick around salem and anybody sees you like this. Let me spell it out for you, beth. If you show your face around town again or talk to anybody–anybody– about what I did, I’ll kill you. Get it?

Beth: Got it. I’m leaving.

[Tense music]

Paulina: Ray? Isn’t that your ex who just got on that elevator? The lows of bipolar depression

Paulina: That was the woman you used to date, right?

TR: Beth. Yes, that was her.

Paulina: Oh, well, I only saw her from the back, so I wasn’t sure. What was she doing here?

TR: Looking for me. She decided to drop out of the movie and go back to california.

Paulina: Just like that?

TR: Just like that.

Beth: Well, I need to be on the first flight to la, so a layover is fine. So, I’m booked then? Great, thanks.

[Cell phone ringing] Hello?

Lani: Hi, beth. It’s lani, eli grant’s wife.

Beth: Why are you calling me?

Lani: The other day when you came by the hospital, you-you said you had something to tell me. I’d like to know what it is.

Ciara: It’s okay.

[ Dramatic music ]

Taylor: Hey. I can’t imagine the pain you’re in.

Steffy: I can’t believe he’s gone. He’s never gonna walk through the door again. A god, how can that be true? The last time I was in this house, so was finn, you know, filling it with love and laughter, and now he’s gone. And I can’t do anything about it, except– except try to find the monster who took him from me.

Taylor: And sweetheart, you’ll remember who shot you and finn when you’re ready.

Steffy: Oh my god!

Oh my god!

There’s so much blood!

Sheila: Oh, what have

I done? I didn’t–

I didn’t see him.

I didn’t know–

I didn’t know he was here.

Baby!

Steffy: Your only son.

Sheila: I didn’t know–

I didn’t know he was here.

[ Knocking on door ]

Deacon: Hey, sheila? Sheila, it’s me, come on, open up. Sheila! Sheila, come on, open up.

[ Knocking on door ] Sheila, please–

Sheila: I’m here. I– what are you doing?

Deacon: I wanted to make sure that you didn’t do something awful. Something that couldn’t be taken back.

Quinn: Hey, you busy?

Carter: Uh, never too busy for you.

Quinn: Okay, okay. Question for you.

Carter: Mm hm.

Quinn: Do you prefer a, or b?

Carter: Hm.

Carter: A.

Quinn: Mm! Tell me why.

Carter: The colors are more vibrant in those stones.

Quinn: Exactly what I was thinking. Very good eye, and thank you for confirming my own, exceptional good taste.

Carter: Heh, anytime.

Quinn: Mm hm. What?

Carter: Uh, I’m just curious. How did things go with eric last night?

Paris: Hey.

Zende: Hey. Um, you okay? What’s going on?

Quinn: I don’t know if I should be discussing my relationship with eric, with you. I mean, that’s kinda what got us in trouble in the first place.

Carter: Mm, is that what I am? Trouble?

Quinn: Hah! Well, you certainly can be. Although, I think I got you beat in that department. I mean, I– I’m trouble, cubed. I’m trouble personified. Hehe, at least that’s what I’ve been told, most of my life.

Carter: I don’t see you that way.

Quinn: Well, of course not.

[ Tsk-ing ]

Carter: Speaking of trouble, I– I kinda think I am.

Quinn: Because of me?

Carter: No. No.

Quinn: Ah. Because of paris.

Zende: I can tell when something’s on your mind. You can share it with me. Whatever it is.

Paris: I’ve always loved that about you. Your sensitivity, how you pay attention. How you always encouraged me to speak my mind, and be open and honest with you, which is exactly what you deserve.

Zende: Uh oh, uh, I deserve honesty? About what?

Paris: About my feelings for you.

Steffy: Well, I’ve tried so hard to think back to what happened that night. I can’t remember anything specific. I just get– I get glimpses of things.

Taylor: Well, I know, sweetie, and that is, that is completely normal. You’ve experienced such a traumatic event, this is just your mind’s way of shielding you.

Steffy: No, I don’t want to be protected from the truth. I want to see the face of the monster who killed my husband.

Deacon: I brought you some food. You look terrible.

Sheila: Hah! Still as charming as ever, I see.

Deacon: Fine, come on, you know what I mean. Are you getting any sleep at all?

Sheila: Do you think losing finn is my karma? Because I have done some really terrible things in my past.

Deacon: This is what I know, not what I think. Finn died as a result of a– a cold-blooded, vicious, random attack that you had absolutely nothing to do with.

Sheila: Yeah. It’s just, uh… I really miss him. And I know I’m never going to see that beautiful face with these eyes ever again. There’s only one thing that can help ease this pain.

Deacon: What’s that?

Sheila: Hayes. I need to see my grandson. (Dana)it’s very difficult for the family

Quinn: I don’t get it. I mean, paris “appointed” herself judge and jury, when she found out about our affair, and told brooke, and completely blew our lives apart. And let’s not forget that, uh, she’s the sister of your ex-fiance. So, why would you want to be with her?

Carter: You know, quinn, when you put it that way…

Quinn: Right?

Carter: I guess I was a bit on the rebound. You’d just gone back to eric, shutting down my hopes for a future with you, and I was crushed.

Quinn: So, she took advantage of you?

Carter: No. No, she did not. No, we just– we just happened, and it was wrong, because she was still seeing zende, and that should have made her off-limits, especially after what happened with you, but quinn, this– this also happened because of you. It was like I– I needed to forget about us long enough to heal.

Quinn: But things are completely over between the two of you?

Carter: Yeah. Thankfully, zende is none the wiser.

Zende: You want to talk feelings, I’m your guy.

Paris: Well, you’re incredible, you’re sweet, you’re funny. You’re thoughtful, and one day, you’re gonna own the fashion world.

Zende: Eh, from your mouth…

Paris: No doubt, and there’s no one that’s more deserving than you. I mean, you’re an amazing guy, zende. We’ve been through a lot together.

Zende: Um, ah… uh, wait a minute, uh, why is this starting to feel like– are you ending this between us?

Steffy: Ugh, if I could just see the shooter’s face, then I would just– I would make them answer me for taking my husband away. Ugh, why can’t I remember?

Taylor: Maybe, because you’re still in recovery. You will remember. Your memory will come back. It will. And you’ll remember who did this horrible thing.

Sheila: You know it is so unfair. Li wouldn’t even let me say a final goodbye to finn. And steffy won’t let me anywhere near hayes. He is the only connection I still have to my son.

Deacon: Sheila, it’s only a matter of time before steffy remembers who pulled the trigger that night. Once that mystery is solved, once they arrest whoever did that, maybe then, she’ll be able to hear you, but I’m telling you, going over there now is a mistake.

Sheila: Yeah, well, thank you! Thank you so much for the good advice, my dear friend. But hayes in my grandson, and I need to see him. Facing steffy might be the risk I have to take. Hi, my name is cherrie.

Zende: So maybe you better catch me up. I know that we decided to pull things back a bit, keep it casual, see other people, but I still thought there was a connection between us.

Paris: Always.

Zende: Uh, yeah, okay, so, um, I guess, I– I misread something here. I never gave up on a future with you, paris, but it doesn’t sound like you want the same thing.

Paris: I– I don’t know how to explain it. It just, somewhere down the line, my feelings changed–

Zende: Hey, hey. Message received. Loud and clear.

Paris: I’m sorry, zende.

Zende: Hey, I don’t regret a single moment I spent with you. I’m grateful that we got to spend any time together, at all. I do have one question, though.

Paris: Sure.

Zende: Is this about something missing between us? Or, is there someone else?

Carter: When I ended things with paris, I said the same thing to her. I told her to go forward with zende.

Quinn: Only, she doesn’t feel the same way.

Carter: No, she’s not in love with him. Don’t get me wrong, she has deep feelings for him, how could she not?

Quinn: Right, right. I mean, come on. He ticks all the boxes, right? I mean, he’s handsome, he– he’s an up and coming fashion designer, he’s warm, he’s caring, he want’s to settle down and have a family, I mean come on, what more could paris want? Look, I don’t like her, and yeah, I’m totally judging her, I get that, but I can also understand why she would fall in love with you.

Steffy: Whoever killed finn, they’re out there, just walking around. They should be in prison. I have the answer, it’s in my head, I just…

[ Sighing ] I can’t seem to get to it.

Taylor: But you will.

Steffy: How? How? Do I have to be patient? It’s like, some kind of trigger?

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah. A trigger could happen when you least expect it.

[ Hayes fussing on monitor ]

Steffy: I’m gonna check on him.

Taylor: Okay. Let me know if you need anything.

[ Knocking on door ] Sheila.

Sheila: I– I’m sorry. I know that I should have called, but I– I was afraid with warning steffy wouldn’t let me in. I– please, taylor, you just have to help me. I– I… I want to see my grandson. Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Paris: Honesty is the least you deserve from me. So, yes. There is someone. A man you know very well.

Zende: Who?

Paris: Carter. I have feelings for carter.

Quinn: I know what it’s like to be alone with you. To be up close and personal with that insane charisma and off the charts sexual energy. I– ooh, I mean, I am a grown-ass married woman, and I lost my mind.

[ Laughing ]

Carter: Well, you weren’t the only one.

Quinn: I’m just saying I am familiar with your superpowers.

Carter: Quinn, stop!

Quinn: I can totally understand why paris fell head over heels in love with you. But I know you, carter. And I learned to hear what it is you don’t say.

Carter: What do you think that is?

Quinn: You may have gotten caught up in this whole paris thing, but you don’t feel about her the way she feels about you. Mm hm, am I right? Am I right? You don’t even have to say it. I know I’m right.

Taylor: Sheila, you should not have come by like this. Steffy doesn’t need any more stress.

Sheila: I– I know that it’s risky, and I don’t want to do anything that might set steffy off. But taylor, I lost finn too. Hayes is the only connection that I have left with him.

Taylor: I understand, but sheila, you can call me. Come in.

Sheila: Thank you. You– you know, li… shut me out. She wouldn’t even let me say a final goodbye to my son, and that tore my heart out. And now, I don’t– I don’t even– I don’t even want to open my eyes in the morning, knowing that he’s gone, every day, the endless days of knowing that I am never going to see finn’s beautiful face again, or even have the chance to make him smile.

Taylor: Sheila, you’re not thinking about harming yourself again, are you?

Sheila: No.

Taylor: Okay, good. Just remember, finn would not want that. I’m so sorry you lost your son, the– the pain is indescribable. But don’t make it worse by blaming yourself for something that wasn’t your fault.

Steffy: What?

Sheila: Hello, steffy.

Sheila: What is she doing here?

Taylor: She shouldn’t have come by like this, but she’s asked to see hayes.

Steffy: You know that’s not gonna happen.

Taylor: I do. I do, but I also understand why she’s here. She’s finn’s mother. Hayes is her grandson. Hayes is all she has left of her son.

Steffy: I get that, and I’m sorry. But that doesn’t mean my door’s open to sheila. She’s not allowed to see hayes. And you know it. So why exactly are you here?

Sheila: You’re right. This, this– uh, this was… a bad idea, I’m sorry. I’m gonna go. But you know, before I do, I want to tell you how terribly, terribly sorry I am, steffy. For your loss, and for mine.

Steffy: Wait! You’re not going anywhere, sheila.

Ashland: You really would never make a good poker player, would you? I mean, you just lay all your cards on the table for everybody to see.

Billy: Meaning?

Ashland: It’s abundantly clear that you’re still in love with Victoria. And it’s surprising to me that someone as smart as Lily hasn’t figured that out yet, but then again, maybe she has. Maybe she resents the fact that you keep barging in to protect your ex.

Billy: Lily and I are just fine. Thank you for your concern. And as far as Victoria, I am not worried about her ability to deal with you. She’s already proven that she can handle herself. My warning was directly to you for your own sake because you are playing with fire.

Ashland: You will never understand my relationship with Victoria. She’s not nearly as angry at me as you think she is.

Billy: Yeah, what about your ex-father-in-law? You know the one that stood there, watched you gasp for air while you were having a heart attack. And that was before he knew that you were lying about having cancer, screwing over his daughter. I’m pretty sure that you are on the top of his hit list right now, Ashland. And believe, it’s not a fun place to be.

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

Sally: Have you considered calling Victoria’s bluff? Because I find it hard to believe that she would give up on her dream job just because she has to share it with her smart, capable brother.

Adam: Have you met my sister?

Update written by Joseph

Paulina visits Eli with Lani in the hospital. Paulina encourages that Eli knows how much Lani loves him. Lani credits Paulina for always being there and allowing her to spend so much time at Eli’s side. Paulina says it’s her honor to support them and she will continue to do so as long as they need. TR then arrives with flowers and asks how his two favorite girls are. Lani thanks TR and tells him there is no change in Eli, but she keeps talking to him and telling him that they can’t wait for him to come back. Lani says it may be wishful thinking but she really feels like he’s listening this time. Paulina encourages that Eli hears every word Lani says to him and he’s working hard to get back to her and their children.

Tripp enters a hospital room to check on Beth and asks what brings her in today. Beth turns to him, revealing she has a black eye.

Chanel arrives at the hospital and sees Johnny. Chanel asks how he’s feeling. Johnny responds that he’s much better as he’s rehydrated and good to go. Chanel asks if he’s sure since he’s been through a lot. Johnny jokes that it wasn’t that bad but then goes over being possessed by the Devil, held prisoner in a crypt and almost strangled to death by his dead uncle. Johnny says everyone has their problems but admits it did a number on him, though he’s fine now. Chanel assumes he’s heading home to rest but Johnny says no way as he needs to find Allie.

Devil Allie walks around the cabin as Ciara sleeps on the couch. The Devil says now that he’s convinced Ciara that her husband is dead and she’s in mortal danger from the maniac who killed him, she can stay here with him where he’ll keep her safe until she gives birth and then that baby will finally be his. The Devil declares that’s the plan and nothing is going to stop him.

Susan rushes in to Ben’s apartment, saying she got his message and came as soon as she could. Ben talks about no one seeing or hearing from Ciara or Allie since yesterday. Ben needs Susan to find Ciara right now as she could give birth any time and the Devil is after their baby. Susan encourages Ben that love will always win over evil. Ben hopes she’s right and that they can use her power to help him connect with Ciara like before. Susan tells Ben to get her something of Ciara’s. Ben gives Susan the motorcycle helmet that he gave to Ciara as an anniversary gift. Susan raises the helmet and calls out to Ciara to try and feel her presence but doesn’t get anything. Susan then has Ben hold the helmet and holds Ben’s hand to try again but gets nothing. Susan then asks Ben to try to talk to Ciara.

Ciara hears Ben’s voice, saying he’s alive and trying to find her but he needs her help.

Susan encourages Ben to keep going. Ben says he needs Ciara to tell him where she is.

Ciara calls out to Ben but Allie wakes her up, saying she was having a nightmare. Ciara says it wasn’t a nightmare but she heard Ben and he’s alive.

Ben tells Susan that he was so close and swears he almost felt her but something happened. Susan guesses the Devil was messing up the signal. Ben asks what to do now.

TR asks what is the latest on Eli and the doctors and if they think he has a chance to wake up. Paulina insists that Eli is coming out of this while TR looks worried. Abe enters the room and comments that it’s a full house. Abe thought there wasn’t supposed to be too many people in the room as he turns to TR. Paulina decides she has to use the restroom anyway so she hugs Lani and then exits the room. Abe asks if it was something he said. TR responds that it was more like something he did.

Chanel tells Johnny that it might not be that easy for him to find Allie since she took Ciara. Johnny is shocked as Chanel explains that no one knows where she took her. Johnny remembers the Devil wants Ciara’s baby. Chanel says every cop in town has been looking for them. Chanel worries about what if the cops shoot first and ask questions later. Chanel cries that she’s so scared. Johnny hugs Chanel as Paulina comes off of the elevator and questions what the hell is going on here.

Tripp asks Beth how she got injured with the black eye and cut lip. Beth claims that she tripped and landed on her face. Tripp asks if he’s sure, adding that anything she tells him will remain strictly confidential as the doctors are given treatment guidelines to help them accurately identify what is going on with patients to get them what they need. Tripp wants to make sure he’s doing all he can to help her, so he has to ask if someone did this to her. Tripp adds that there is another option and offers to call in a female police officer but Beth says no cops. Beth says she is in a lot of pain and just needs a prescription for painkillers. Tripp feels she should be admitted in to the hospital but Beth says she can’t be here as she has to work. Tripp suggests ice first and then heat in a couple days and to switch to Ibuprofen as soon as she can. Tripp asks if she wants him to call a friend to pick her up but Beth says she’s good and quickly exits the room.

Abe asks what exactly TR thinks he did. TR informs him that Paulina told him that she made it clear that she still has feelings for Abe but he rejected her. Abe asks what the hell business it is of his. TR says it is because he cares about Paulina very much and doesn’t want to see her get hurt. Abe laughs and says that’s rich coming from him. Lani interrupts, yelling at them to stop as her husband is fighting for his life and they are there arguing. Lani asks what is wrong with them.

Paulina yells for Johnny to keep his filthy hands off of her daughter. Johnny knows how she feels about him and asks Chanel to explain that he’s not the horrible person she thinks he is. Johnny says he’s sorry but he really has to go so he rushes out of the hospital. Paulina calls him a coward for running off. Chanel tells her that Johnny really does have something important to do, explaining that he just got released from the hospital. Chanel adds that Johnny was just comforting her because she was upset. Paulina hopes she’s not getting sucked back in to being with Johnny. Chanel says she doesn’t understand. Paulina complains about Johnny and Allie treating her like dirt and shattering her heart. Chanel clarifies that Johnny and Allie never meant to hurt her. Paulina questions her doing a 180 and defending them. Chanel reveals that she’s not making excuses but telling her that they weren’t responsible for that behavior because it wasn’t them, they were possessed by The Devil.

Allie tells Ciara that she couldn’t have heard Ben and was just dreaming. Ciara says it was more than that and she’s had the feeling before of Ben trying to reach out to her before and she just heard his voice saying he needs her. Allie calls that impossible and knows it’s hard to accept but Ben is dead. Ciara doesn’t believe it as every part of her is telling her it’s not true. Ciara declares that she has to find Ben but Allie says she has to take care of herself and her baby which means they have to hide out her until they find Evan because he will kill her and her unborn child if he finds her. Ciara doesn’t understand why there are no cops guarding the cabin outside if Rafe said he would send some.

Susan worries to Ben that The Devil has isolated Ciara as he wants her and the baby all to himself. Ben points out that Ciara doesn’t know that Allie is possessed so she trusts her which is why The Devil is able to manipulate Ciara in to doing whatever the hell he wants. Susan says not if Ciara is strong and determined. Ben agrees that Ciara just has to hang on until he can get to her. Susan declares that if the Devil gets in their way, they will go around him. Susan promises they will find Ciara because love will find a way.

Abe and TR apologize to Lani for arguing. Lani says whatever is going on between them, she can’t have it going on in this room. Abe says he understands. TR gets a call and tells Lani to hang in there and that he’s praying for Eli as he exits the room to answer the call. Abe questions TR just leaving because his work is more important than being here with her.

Susan tells Ben that they need to figure out how to get he and Ciara reconnected. Ben brings up how they communicated psychically before and when Ciara was held prisoner, they had the same dream at the same time of being Romeo and Juliet. Susan tells him to go get Romeo & Juliet.

Allie claims to Ciara that two cops did come by while she was asleep. Ciara questions her not waking her up. Allie says there was no reason to as they had no new information and just that they have an APB out on Evan. Ciara questions the cops just leaving them while they are in serious danger. Allie claims that they are down on the docks. Ciara wants to talk to the cops, insisting that Ben is still alive and she needs to find him. Allie claims to her that the cops made it clear that leaving is not an option so for her safety, they need to stay here. Allie suggests they do breathing exercises for her pregnancy. Ciara mentions that she was supposed to do that with Ben as he was going to be her birthing coach. Ciara cries that she and her baby need Ben. Allie encourages that she has her so she’s not alone. Allie offers to be Ciara’s birthing coach and says she’ll be honored to help bring her baby in to the world.

Paulina questions Chanel about the exorcism getting the Devil out of Marlena but not getting rid of him once and for all. Chanel says apparently not. Paulina feels that’s all the more reason for her not to go near the twins so that Satan doesn’t jump in to her next. Chanel says there are more important things to worry about right now because Allie took Ciara and no one knows where they went, but they know the Devil wants Ciara’s baby. Chanel feels so bad for Johnny and he went looking for them. Chanel wonders if she should go help but Paulina tells them to stay away and not go anywhere near that mess. Paulina suggests they go get coffee, so Chanel can tell her the rest of this insane story.

TR is on the phone at the hospital, saying he knows he said he would have the money by now but he will get it. TR gives his word that it will be next week at the latest but they hang up on him. TR then spots Beth on her way out of the hospital and confronts her, questioning what the hell she’s doing back here.

Abe apologizes to Lani as he knows he should keep his opinions to himself since TR is her biological father and has every right to be here. Lani understands Abe’s concerns about TR since for years, he abused Paulina and drugs. Lani notes that since Eli’s shooting, TR has been great and been there every day plus helping with the kids. Lani assures she would never leave the kids alone with him but they are his grandchildren. Abe says they are his too and he can’t not worry. Lani knows TR’s history and promises to keep her guard up, but she honestly doesn’t believe he’s a threat anymore as he’s trying so hard to prove that he’s become a different man. Abe doesn’t think that’s possible as he knows from Kate and Nicole, who had experience with abusers, that men like that rarely change. Lani responds that her experience as a cop tells her the same thing but rarely is not never, so TR could be the exception. Abe asks what if he’s not.

TR pulls Beth aside and warns her about shooting her mouth off to Lani again. Beth clarifies that she wasn’t here to see Lani, but to see a doctor. TR argues that she can’t be seen like this. Beth says she didn’t want to be but she was waiting for her ears to stop ringing, her eye to stop throbbing, and for it to stop hurting to breathe. Beth says she only came for painkillers and is now on her way back to the hotel. TR declares that’s not good enough as she needs to leave town and go back to LA. TR wants her on the next flight out. Beth asks about the movie and says she’ll be fine by then. TR disagrees and argues that she can’t do a movie looking like that. Beth argues that TR did this to her. TR remarks that she’s lucky that’s all he did…

Ciara appreciates Allie’s offer but says she and Ben had been practicing for months so he was supposed to be her birthing coach and she doesn’t think she can have this baby without him. Ciara then hears Ben’s voice reading Romeo & Juliet. Ciara asks if Allie just heard something like she did but Allie says no. Ciara says she heard it again as Ben continues reading Romeo & Juliet. Ciara tells Allie that she is definitely hearing Ben’s voice reciting Romeo & Juliet. Allie says there is no way. Ciara imagines Ben appearing in the cabin, reciting the lines, and says it’s really him and he’s here.

Ben points to Susan that the next line is Juliet’s. Ben worries that it’s not working. Ben then hears Ciara’s voice reciting the next line. Ben says he can hear Ciara and then imagines her appearing in the room behind him. Ben reaches out and says where ever she is, she must be seeing and hearing him too. Ben insists that he’s alive and is going to find her so he asks her not to give up on him.

Ciara reaches out and says she believes in Ben.

Ben asks Ciara to tell him where she is. He imagines Ciara saying she’s right there and that she can reach out and touch him but the vision disappears.

Devil Allie uses his powers to erase Ciara’s vision of Ben, leaving her disappointed.

Abe tells Lani that TR is always on his best behavior around her and Paulina, but he doesn’t buy that he’s truly reformed. Lani brings up TR’s recent girlfriend Beth vouching for him and saying that he never used drugs or laid a hand on her for the entire time they were together. Lani then brings up Beth coming to visit her the other day and she said she had something to tell her. Lani says she forgot about it until now. Abe wonders if it has something to do with TR. Lani says she doesn’t know as they got interrupted and then she left so she never found out what it was. Abe suggests maybe she should..

Beth asks what TR is going to do to her that he hasn’t already done, shoot her like he shot Eli? TR snipes at her to shut up and reminds her that he told her he had nothing to do with Eli’s shooting. Beth points out that TR also told everyone that he wasn’t doing drugs and wasn’t beating women. TR argues that she deserved what he did to her because she broke their agreement. Beth asks if she’s supposed to go back to LA while TR proposes to Paulina. TR says then Paulina says yes as everything is working out exactly as planned with Paulina. Beth asks what if Paulina starts asking questions and if he’s going to kill her. Beth points out that TR almost killed her just for being in the same room as his daughter. TR warns her to keep her voice down. Beth repeats that Paulina is no fool and is not going to let him get away with walking her blind. TR tells her not to worry about Paulina but to worry about what’s going to happen to her if she sticks around Salem and anybody sees her like this. TR warns Beth that if she shows her face around town again or talks to anybody about what he did then he will kill her. Beth says she’s got it and she’s leaving as she then exits the hospital as they stare back at each other. Paulina then approaches TR and asks if that was his ex getting on the elevator. TR confirms that was Beth. Paulina asks what she was doing here. TR claims that she was just looking for him because she decided to drop out of the movie and go back to California.

Beth walks through the town square, booking the next flight out to LA. Beth hangs up and then gets a call from Lani. Lani brings up Beth saying she had something to tell her and she’d like to know what it is.

Ciara tells Allie that it’s all going to be okay because Ben is not here now but he’s alive. Allie tells him that it’s not true and that she was just hallucinating. Ciara insists that it was their psychic connection at work. Allie encourages her to sleep but Ciara says no way as she’s not going to wait for Ben to find her, she’s going to find him.

Ben tells Susan that the connection was broken. Susan says what’s important is that he reached her and reconnected to her. Ben declares that now he just has to go find her. Johnny shows up at the door and asks if there’s any news. Susan hugs Johnny, who says he just got released from the hospital. Susan is happy that Johnny is alive and well and devil-free. Johnny credits Susan for saving him. Susan jokes that she’ll have Roger write a song about how they beat the Devil. Johnny points out that they haven’t won yet because Allie is still out there. Ben adds that she is with his wife and child.

Ciara says for her and Allie to go but Allie says she’s not going anywhere and not letting her go either. Ciara argues that Allie has no say about it as she is not her prisoner, so she is going to go find Ben and there’s nothing she can do to stop her.

Lani reminds Beth that she said it was something she deserved to know. Beth thinks back to TR threatening to kill her. Beth then tells Lani that it wasn’t important and she’s sorry for making her feel like it was. Beth says she has a plane to catch back to LA but she wishes her and Eli the best. Beth prays that Eli wakes up. Lani thanks her and they hang up. Lani tells Abe that was strange as she got the feeling that Beth was hiding something, but she’s leaving town now so she guesses they’ll never know.

Paulina questions TR about why Beth just up and quit. TR claims she didn’t say and guesses she got cold feet. Paulina asks if he needs a new Celeste for the movie. TR suggests Paulina put in a good word for him with Chanel to get her to consider to sign on again since he always thought she was the best person for the role. Paulina mentions just seeing Chanel and that she was on her way to the Bakery, so he could track her down right now if he wants. TR decides he will talk to her but not right now as there is a higher priority he has to take care of first. Paulina questions what is higher priority than his movie. TR responds that she is and he has an important question for her…

Abe tells Lani that he better get to Julie’s as he promised to take the twins for the evening. Lani thanks him and says she really could not do this without him. Abe says it’s his pleasure as they hug and that he loves her as he exits the room. Lani sits with Eli and says everyone loves him too and they are all pulling for him. Lani says they are not giving up on him and Paulina is right that Eli is going to come out of this. Lani adds that she misses him so much and so do their kids, Julie, Doug, Abe, and Valerie. Lani declares they will all be here waiting whenever he decides to finally come back to them. Eli then finally begins to wake up.

Ben fills Johnny in on Devil Allie making Ciara think that he was dead but now Ciara knows he’s alive as Susan helped him use their psychic connection to reach out to her, but they still don’t know where she is because the connection broke. Susan exclaims that she just came up with a brilliant idea, pointing out that as twins, Johnny also has a psychic connection with Allie.

Ciara tells Allie to get out of her way. Allie argues that she’s not thinking straight and questions where she would even go. Ciara says she’ll go to the docks, find the cops, and make them take her to Ben. Ciara goes to leave, but stops and announces that her water just broke.

Alone, Robert tells his brother to start talking. Mac beats around the bush before finally revealing he thinks Felicia wants a baby. Robert laughs, then pours his brother a shot of whiskey. Mac says that raising Maxie, Georgie and Robin were the joys of his life, but he and Felicia never got to have one of their own. However, he thinks he could be misreading the entire situation.

Outside, Anna asks Felicia what is going on. Like her husband, Felicia makes small talk before finally blurting out that she thinks Mac wants a baby. Anna asks if she’d want to raise another child. Felicia doesn’t know as she’s a grandmother of three. Anna thinks that shouldn’t stop her, and perhaps she should be talking about this with Mac. Anna promises whatever she decides, she’ll always be in her corner. Felicia thinks maybe it’s the last thing Mac wants and it’s all in her head.

Sonny says goodnight to his security guard and heads into his empty apartment. He sits down on the couch and puts his feet up on the table. He nods off only to find himself back in Nixon Falls. Lenny appears and says it’s about time he arrived. His friend notes Sonny’s wardrobe is lacking and hands him his old cowboy hat. Sonny thinks this isn’t real, and Lenny’s dead. Lenny reminds Sonny that people thought he was dead once too. Lenny wants to know what’s been happening since Sonny went back to Port Charles.

Sonny fills him in on his divorce, and how his relationship with Nina has put a strain on his relationship with his son. Lenny tells Sonny not to give up on him. Sonny would never, but feels Michael’s given up on him. Sonny asks Lenny what was the secret to his and Phyllis’ happiness. Lenny says both people just have to give. Sonny reveals Nina isn’t making him take sides against his son, which has been a gift. Lenny wonders what he’s giving Nina in return. Sonny thanks Lenny for the good advice and realizes he has to do something for Nina. Lenny tells him to get out of there, but Sonny doesn’t know how he is supposed to leave.

Sonny awakens in his apartment and later makes a call to Nina. He gets her voicemail, so he leaves a message saying he was happy to see her tonight and he can’t wait to see her again soon.

At the hospital, Michael tries to distract Willow with details about their Paris trip that he’s been planning. Sasha and Brando arrive, and Sasha asks if they can wait with her. Willow invites them to join them. Willow tells her that her mom is awake, so Sasha thinks that means there is hope.

Sasha goes into the bathroom and realizes if she had been caught with drugs in her system, she could have been tried for manslaughter. She tells herself not to blow this second chance and flushes the pills. Brando knocks on the door, and Sasha says she’ll be right there.

In Harmony’s room, Carly tells Harmony that she’s not making sense. Harmony says, “Willow, you need to protect her no matter the cost.” Carly asks from what? Harmony apologizes for almost trying to kill her, and she’s been so selfish. Harmony says she should have told the truth when she had the chance.

Carly tells Harmony the longer she takes to tell Willow, the harder it will be to say it. Harmony wishes she had told the truth earlier, but now it’s gone too far, and Willow isn’t safe with her. Willow can never know. Carly is confused. Harmony says, “She loves too much, too hard. She’s obsessive, possessive, she’ll try and take Willow from Michael.” Carly realizes Harmony is talking about Willow’s biological mother. Harmony explains Willow already hates her, and Willow was one of two. Carly figures out Willow is a twin, and Harmony says, “Nelle.” Carly is shocked, “Nina is Willow’s biological mother?” Harmony begs Carly to protect Willow as Nina’s love will smother her. Carly promises her she’ll protect Willow. Suddenly, Harmony codes.

TJ enters the room and finds Harmony has no pulse. He and Amy work to shock Harmony and begin CPR. Harmony never recovers and TJ calls her time of death.

Carly goes to the waiting area and tells Willow that she needs to get back to the ICU. Michael and Willow head there immediately, and Sasha fears she killed Harmony. Brando says it was an accident and everyone knows that. 

In the ICU, Willow can tell by TJ’s face her mother is gone. TJ  explains they did everything they could. Willow asks for a moment alone with her, and TJ tells her to take as much time as she needs. Willow asks Michael to come with her, and they head inside.

Willow sits by her mother and takes her hand. She cries that she loves her and forgives her. She remembers a picnic they had in Colorado, and how her mother braided her hair and made her feel so beautiful and free. She kisses her hand and promises to tell Wiley only the good memories of her. Outside, Carly watches. She remembers Harmony begging her to protect her from Nina, and promising she would.

TJ goes to the waiting room and tells Sasha and Brando that Willow will need their friendship more than ever now.

Sally: Mm-hmm, that was more of a rhetorical question, but thank you.

Victoria: No, I — I am — I’m feeling okay. Guess I’m pretty lucky, all things considered.

Billy: Yeah. It’s tragic about Rey.

Victoria: I wish I hadn’t been out there driving on that road. Maybe things would’ve turned out differently.

Billy: You can’t think that way, Vick. It was an accident. It wasn’t your fault.

Victoria: Right. Many people have assured me of that.

Billy: Why were you out there on that road? That’s not your usual way home.

Victoria: I thought you said that you didn’t blame me, and now you’re asking me how I got myself into this predicament.

Young & The Restless Transcript

Y&R logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Adam: Diane is alive? After all these years? Are you sure? Have you seen her?

Victor: Unfortunately, yes.

Adam: How in the hell did she pull this off? And where has she been all these years?

Victor: I don’t know the full story.

[ Knock on door ]

Adam: Why would she come back here?

Victor: She claims she wants to reunite with kyle. Who knows what her true motives are?

Sally: Um, hi. Is everything okay?

Adam: Someone we thought was dead a long time ago has just turned up alive and well.

Sally: I take it neither of you are fond of her?

Victor: Complicates matters. Since kyle now has married into my family.

Sally: Wow, so who exactly has risen from the dead?

Adam: Diane jenkins. Kyle’s mother.

Jack: Hey, how you doing?

Kyle: Seeing harrison always makes me feel better. He’s upstairs having a ball with his new bff traci.

Jack: Oh, I’ll bet he is. Traci has that effect on a lot of people.

Kyle: Such a relief knowing that he’s safe and sound and taken care of. Thank you and phyllis for spending time with him, too, while I’ve been getting my bearings.

Jack: Well, if I can speak for everyone else, it was our pleasure. We all love harrison and we all know how difficult it is for you to be face-to-face with your mother.

Kyle: I’m still no closer to making a decision about how to move forward.

Jack: Don’t rush that decision. Diane took years contemplating all of her possibilities before she sprung this on you. You take all the time you need.

[ Door opens ]

Nikki: Got your message. I assume you want to talk about my meeting with the logistics team.

Victoria: I actually want to talk about a different project — my father.

Nikki: Uh-oh. What happened after I left?

Victoria: Dad was trying to suggest that adam take ashland’s position as co-ceo. Of course, he framed the suggestion as a response to my supposedly fragile emotional state, which was infuriating.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] Sometimes your father isn’t the most tactful.

Victoria: It’s insulting.

Nikki: I agree. But maybe your anger should be directed at ashland.

Victoria: Well, at least ashland is no longer a threat, but you know who is — adam.

Nikki: I know you’re not gonna like hearing this, but adam is a big reason why ashland is no longer with the company.

Victoria: Yes, he used a half a billion dollars of dad’s money to make that happen, and even if it did work, that doesn’t entitle him to the co-ceo position.

Nikki: Well, none of us are happy about the lengths we had to go to to get rid of him. But the important thing is that our family is still a strong unit, and I want it to stay that way.

Victoria: You know what? Maybe you ought to save that speech for dad, since I left the ceo decision up to him.

Nikki: You did?

Victoria: I did. I told him that he could appoint as co-ceo if he wants to, but if he does, I’m out.

Billy: So I take it you’re staying here because victoria threw you out.

Ashland: Brilliant powers of deduction.

Billy: Why are you here at all? I mean, you’ve kicked to the curb at newman/locke, your marriage to victoria is being annulled. What’s the point?

Ashland: I have my reasons, none of which have anything to do with you.

Billy: Well, you better tell& me they don’t have anything to do with victoria.

Ashland: Again, none of your business.

Billy: I’m gonna need to insist that you stay the hell away from her.

Your mission:

Ashland: You really would never make a good poker player, would you? I mean, you just lay all your cards on the table for everybody to see.

Billy: Meaning?

Ashland: It’s abundantly clear that you’re still in love with victoria. And it’s surprising to me that someone as smart as lily hasn’t figured that out yet, but then again, maybe she has. Maybe she resents the fact that you keep barging in to protect your ex.

Billy: Lily and I are just fine. Thank you for your concern. And as far as victoria, I am not worried about her ability to deal with you. She’s already proven that she can handle herself. My warning was directly to you for your own sake, because you are playing with fire.

Ashland: You will never understand my relationship with victoria. She’s not nearly as angry at me as you think she is.

Billy: Yeah, what about your ex-father-in-law? You know the one that stood there, watched you gasp for air while you were having a heart attack. And that was before he knew that you were lying about having cancer, screwing over his daughter. I’m pretty sure that you are on the top of his hit list right now, ashland. And believe, it’s not a fun place to be.

Sally: So if this diane person is kyle’s mom, were she and jack married?

Adam: It never got there. She was married to my dad, though, twice.

Victor: Son, let’s not get into that, alright?

Sally: Well, it sounds interesting to me.

Adam: Well, she also dated nick.

Victor: Enough. Diane jenkins always was and always will be a dangerous person. And I wanted you to know that she’s in town and I wanted to warn you to stay away from her as far as you can. Lest she remind you of your connection with her and tries to wrangle something from you.

Sally: Wait, adam had a connection with her, too?

Adam: Not really. Look, I don’t want to have any contact with diane, so why don’t we drop that and we get back to your conversation with victoria?

[ Clears throat ] She didn’t seem very happy when she left here, so is there any chance that you were discussing me?

Victor: She’s not very fond of you, son.

Adam: I am aware.

Victoria: My brother is a snake, and from the moment that he agreed to come and work for me, he’s been looking for ways to undermine me. So appointing him co-ceo is just gonna make things worse.

Nikki: Your father sees things differently.

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] Yes. I know that, because he’s always had a soft spot for adam — or should I say a blind spot.

Nikki: Well, victor did take a risk setting adam up at newman media when nobody else thought it was a good idea. I have to admit that adam has been successful running that division and seems to have proven that he can be a reliable family member.

Victoria: Whenever it suits his purpose. Mom, are you making an argument for adam becoming co-ceo?

Nikki: Oh, no, not at all. I’m just stating the facts.

Victoria: Oh, gosh. I guess it’s pointless. I know dad is never gonna see adam the way that I see him. It’s never gonna happen. But…

Nikki: But what?

Victoria: But what if i agreed that I could use a co-ceo and then I hire someone that dad would have to concede is a far better choice?

Nikki: Good luck finding that person.

Victoria: I think I already have. I’m looking at her.

Jack: You know, if you need someone to run all of this by, I’m happy to be a sounding board.

Kyle: Appreciate that. And I will take you up on it at some point, but I’ve spent a lot of time talking about it today.

Jack: Wait, with whom?

Kyle: First traci, then mariah. Look, I ran into her while I was out, and I wasn’t planning on telling her what was going on, but then we started talking and I ended up spilling my guts.

Jack: I’m sure she’s as shocked as the rest of us are.

Kyle: Of course. It’s just so bizarre.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Jack: All the more reason for you to take your time. You have to get past your own shock in order to make a decision that could impact the rest of your life.

Kyle: I still have so many questions.

Jack: I know you do, son.

Kyle: Problem is, there’s really only one person who can answer them.

Jack: Would you like me to go with you?

Kyle: Mnh-mnh. I think my mother will be more forthcoming if it’s a one-on-one talk.

Jack: I agree. Good luck.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hello?

Ashland: Jack, it’s ashland. Can we meet? I have something important I’d like to discuss with you. I was on an antidepressant,

Adam: I don’t know why victoria continues to see me as a threat to her.

Victor: You don’t think you bear some responsibility for that? When you had the brilliant idea of paying ashland locke $500 million for him to get the hell out of our lives? It bought us some time, you know? But you did all that without consulting any of us. You did it behind victoria’s back, as well. And that she didn’t like.

Sally: Well, if adam had gone to her, she never would’ve gone along with it.

Victor: Probably not.

Adam: Okay, but in the end, we all worked together to neutralize ashland, right? Shouldn’t we continue to do that? Isn’t that what you want — a big, happy family working together?

Victor: You’re absolutely right, okay? Now, I encouraged her to assign you as co-ceo of the company.

Adam: Oh, I can only imagine how that went over.

Victor: She refused to entertain that idea. She said she’d rather resign than have you be co-ceo of newman/locke.

Nikki: I don’t know how to respond to your offer.

Victoria: Well, I hope that you will accept it. I mean, you are quite literally the only person that I trust to be on equal footing with me.

Nikki: Normally, I would be very flattered, but I don’t know how I feel about being a pawn in your game with your father. He’s gonna know what you’re up to.

Victoria: And that’s okay with me. I’m not trying to hide the fact that I want to thwart his plan to promote adam. And the brilliance of you becoming co-ceo is that, you know, dad will have to agree that you are the most qualified and the most experienced candidate. I mean, you’ve been my coo from the very beginning. You understand my vision. You support it. And most importantly, especially for dad, as far he’s concerned, you’re family.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] I was just saying I don’t want to see anymore strife among us. I certainly don’t want to be in the middle of it.

Victoria: You’re not really going to turn down my offer, are you?

Diane: Kyle. Please come in.

Kyle: Are you leaving?

Diane: Oh, I wasn’t planning to, but after our conversation, I thought it might be a while until I hear from you again, so I wanted to give you space.

Kyle: Mm.

Diane: Unless, of course, you’ve had a change of heart.

Kyle: I wouldn’t say that. And don’t read too much into this. I’m not here to declare my forgiveness or anything, but i have some questions. A lot of them.

Diane: Okay. I’m ready to answer any and all of them.

Kyle: They really all boil down to one. How can I know you’ve really changed?

Jack: Hey, there. I don’t have a lot of time. Dealing with a bit of a family situation at home. If my phone should ring, I may have to run.

Ashland: I appreciate you making the time at all.

Jack: I assume this is about harrison. You want to spend more time with him while he and kyle are in town.

Ashland: Sort of, yes. I take it you haven’t spoken to your brother or heard the news?

Jack: About what? Wait, don’t tell me your medical condition has taken a turn for the worse.

Ashland: No, no, that’s not the case. Um…uh, there will be some news surfacing about me soon, i think. Um…I have done some reprehensible things. They’ve come back to bite me. Nothing I don’t deserve, but i want to make sure that harrison is impacted as little as possible.

Jack: Why don’t we stop dancing around the subject and you just tell me what it is you’ve done?

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Want a worry-free

way to kill bugs?

Victoria: Now, before you say no, just try to envision yourself as co-ceo, because, oh, you would be brilliant. We already work well together, so that transition would be perfectly seamless. And you know what? You are always telling me that i take on too much and I work too many hours, so what better way for me to ease up than for you to just jump right in and take some of this work off of my plate.

Nikki: Honey, I know you would be happy to do that, but would you let me? Because I get the feeling that this would be a promotion in name only, just to fend off adam.

Victoria: No. Mother, this is a sincere offer. I would be so excited to partner with you. We would have so much fun.

Nikki: Well, I don’t know how much fun it’ll be once your father finds out.

Victoria: I think it is the greatest idea. And you know what? Dad is gonna kick himself that he didn’t think of it.

Nikki: Alright, okay. Before we even entertain this idea, we have to think about the possible repercussions.

Victoria: I have already done that. I have, and they’re all positive. Mom, it would only strengthen the company.

Nikki: Adam’s not gonna be happy. He thinks he deserves more responsibility, and your father agrees. So do we really want to create more family drama just as the news about ashland is about to break?

Victoria: I am not going to let adam’s potential hurt feelings dictate my decisions. My hope is that we can keep the reason for ashland’s departure from becoming public knowledge.

Nikki: Well, we’ve been able to keep it quiet so far, but very soon, it’s gonna get out. So shouldn’t we prepare for that by presenting a united front to the world?

Victoria: Yes, and that is exactly what we would be doing. Our partnership would be a partnership that would have longevity. Look, if I cave in and I agree to work with adam, mom, how long do you think that’s gonna last, really? He’s gonna be continually trying to sabotage me and I will be playing defense, and then the entire family will have to choose sides. And then it will create this warfare. It will be an absolute disaster for the family and for the business. You know I’m right, don’t you?

Sally: Have you considered calling victoria’s bluff? Because I find it hard to believe that she would give up on her dream job just because she has to share it with her smart, capable brother.

Adam: Have you met my sister?

Victor: The last thing we need right now is a public conflict over control of the company.

Adam: So what does that mean for me? That there’s no chance of advancement and all these ideas that I have to further the company’s success are just gonna die?

Victor: Son, think this through for a minute. Victoria was ceo of newman/locke when she brought you on board, alright? She still is. Nothing has changed. What you have to show her now is that you are loyal to her, that she can trust you, that you will work with her. You have to convince her of your ideas — your very good ideas.

Adam: Well, it looks like i have my work cut out for me.

Victor: You do.

Ashland: I lied to victoria and to everyone about my cancer diagnosis. I was never sick. I never had cancer.

Jack: What? Why would you —

Ashland: To speed things along. The newman/locke merger, my marriage to victoria.

Jack: That is horrifying.

Ashland: Yes, it is. And when I think back on my recklessness and my…my cruelty, I am disgusted with myself.

Jack: I couldn’t care less how you feel. What about victoria? She opened her heart to you. She let you into her family. She thought you were going to die. I have lived through the death of a spouse. I have some idea of the anguish, of all she was preparing for. For your sake. Only to find out this was a hoax?

Ashland: It wasn’t entirely a hoax. I genuinely fell in love with victoria.

Jack: I don’t want to hear this. I’m sure victoria doesn’t either.

Ashland: I have agreed to have my marriage annulled. I have agreed to walk away from the company. I’m doing everything I can to make this as easy on her as possible. I — [ Sighs ] Even though I know it’s too little, too late.

Jack: Boy, there is a colossal understatement. I hope you’re going back to new york or wherever, and stay out of her life forever.

Ashland: That’s part of why i wanted to talk to you. I didn’t want to leave town without seeing harrison, and I’m worried about how kyle and summer might react when they hear the news.

Jack: You damn well should be.

Diane: I don’t expect you to trust me or believe me — not now, maybe never. And if that’s the case, I’ll have to accept it because i brought it on myself. Kyle, I — I deceived you when you were growing up with what in my mind were good intentions. I just — I wanted you to see the kind and loving version of myself, the one that made you the center of my universe.

Kyle: It worked. I thought you were the best mom ever.

Diane: Yeah, and that’s why i was so angry with phyllis when you read that exposé she had written detailing my exploits.

Kyle: Yeah, to be honest, I’ve never been able to reconcile the two versions of you. This sweet, sensitive, incredible mom that I knew and the version of you that I read and heard about. Who blackmailed people, committed arson, and destroyed relationships and never seemed to care.

Diane: You are seeing both sides of me now — the good and the very, very bad. So go ahead, I’m — I’m an open book. Ask me anything. If you have type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Billy: The majority of my listeners will never cross paths with the so-called elite of the business world. Well, consider yourself lucky. I had a run-in today with a man who shall remain nameless, a mogul who seemingly has everything and yet he still wants more and more. And he lies and manipulates to get it. I mean…this guy takes and takes until he sucks everyone around him dry, as if it’s gonna make him feel more powerful. I mean, if you ask me, it’s like he doesn’t trust his own business acumen so he has to lie and deceive to get his upper hand, causing pain to everyone close to him. And he thinks he’s gonna get away with it. And who knows, maybe he will. But if he does, if wealth and power offers a person blanket immunity, is that not an indictment on all of us?

Adam: Well, that diane thing kind of threw me.

Sally: Yeah, it was pretty crazy. But nothing you haven’t heard before, right? Or experienced? You and diane have that in common, the whole used-to-be-dead thing.

Adam: Well, there were quite a few similarities between diane and the man that I used to be.

Sally: Do tell.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Another time. Right now I’m more focused on what dad told us about victoria. I miscalculated. I thought dad was gonna be ready to throw her in the penalty box for the mess that she created with ashland.

Sally: Yeah, but instead, victor feels protective of her. Though it does make sense to me after the accident. He almost lost her.

Adam: Yeah, well, that hit him pretty hard.

Sally: But on the bright side, victor seems to have your back. He was championing you to victoria, and winning him over was definitely not a given. That is a huge accomplishment in and of itself, so now you only have to win your sister over.

Adam: Sure, no problem. Victoria is very stubborn. It’s a newman trait.

Sally: Well, you are very charming and persuasive. So those must be newman traits, too.

Adam: Well, I’ll see how far they can take me. Wish me luck.

Sally: You won’t need it.

Ashland: Look, I — I know what you must think of me. My behavior has been abhorrent. Except in one area — I have been a good father to harrison.

Jack: Oh, have you? You lied to that little boy about being sick.

Ashland: Jack, there are two people in this world I love, period. Harrison and victoria. Now, my wife may never forgive me, but I can’t lose my son. I will do whatever it takes to keep that boy in my life.

Jack: And you want me to advocate on your behalf to kyle. Why would you think I would want to do that?

Kyle: What kind of work did you do on yourself in la? When we talked before, you mentioned therapy.

Diane: Oh, I got a whole bunch of it. Along with everything else under the sun. Oh, but I — I finally found a psychologist who called me out on my crap. She really forced me to look at myself, and she had zero patience for my excuses.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] How’d that go?

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Well, uh, terribly at first. I was offended and indignant, and that first year, I stormed out of my sessions in a huff more often than not. But somewhere inside of me, i knew that what she was saying was true. You know, I wasn’t a victim. I was a narcissist. I made everything about myself. And through a lot of self-realization, I realized that that had gotten me nowhere. I mean, none of the things that I was so desperate to get — money and power and attention and affection — had ever come to me. You know, instead, my behavior had left me…broke and anonymous, invisible, and, um… alone. And worst of all, it cost me the one pure unselfish joy I had ever known — my life with you. My beautiful son. It was crushing. But it was also the first step on a long, hard road that eventually brought me back here to you, to ask you for your forgiveness.

Kyle: I can appreciate what you’re saying and understand how difficult it is to admit. But what if all the work you did still doesn’t get you what you want? What if I say no? She’s feeling the power of listerine.

Ashland: Jack, you and I are both at an age where we’ve seen a lot of life. We are both mature enough to recognize that people are complicated. We can do admirable things in one aspect of our lives and despicable things in another. Nothing is black and white.

Jack: I have heard enough of this sick, twisted reasoning lately. I’m done with it. You find somebody else to make your case.

Ashland: Okay. I understand. I will talk to kyle directly.

Jack: No, no, no, I would recommend you not do that, trust me. Now is not a good time to go to kyle seeking forgiveness.

Diane: Nothing’s going to happen if you turn me down. I’ll go back to la and I’ll leave you alone.

Kyle: Really? After all the effort you made to reunite with me?

Diane: You matter to me more than anything. But I’ve learned what a mistake it is to try and force people to give me things I didn’t deserve. And it never worked anyway. So you don’t owe me a thing. I’m grateful that you were open enough to hear me out. And would I love it if you were willing to forgive me and I had a place in your life? Of course I would. And I would also love the chance to try to make up for some of the hurt and damage that i caused.

Kyle: I just don’t know if that’s possible.

Diane: I know.

Kyle: I-I-it’s not that i don’t want what you say you want. I do. You’re my mother. I’ve never stopped loving you, and I’ve missed you every day since you’ve been gone, but I’m still trying to figure out if the version of you that i remember ever actually existed or if it was just an act you were putting on because you needed adoration from someone who was too young to know better.

Diane: Kyle, you have to know that my love for you was never an act. It was the only good part of myself.

Kyle: I think…I’m willing to leave the door open wide enough to give you a chance to prove you are who you say you are.

Diane: Really?

Kyle: Yes. Please don’t go back to la.

Diane: Oh, kyle.

[ Knock on door ]

Adam: Hey. I don’t mean to intrude, but i was hoping that you had a minute to talk.

Victoria: For you, I’ll make the time.

Adam: [ Clears throat ] Um…dad filled me in on your conversation. So I wanted to come by and clear the air. First of all, I want you to know that I was surprised to learn that he asked you to promote me as co-ceo.

Victoria: Mm-hmm.

Adam: If I had known, i would’ve asked him to hold off until you and I could have a conversation.

Victoria: And what conversation would that me?

Adam: The one where we hash out if we can work together. One where I could convince you that I could make a good partner.

Victoria: Are you going to offer me $500 million of someone else’s money to give you the promotion?

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Look, what I want to say is the company has almost doubled in size since the acquisition with ashland’s business holdings, and your workload is gonna increase by that much. You’re gonna need some help. I know that we’ve never been close. I know that you don’t trust me. No matter how much I try to support you and the family. There is just a whole lot of history in the way. I’m here to see what I can do to change that. And to show you that us working together could be a positive thing.

Nikki: I just had a very surprising conversation with victoria.

Victor: Oh. Surprising? Amazing how she keeps us always on the edge, doesn’t she?

Nikki: She does. Brace yourself, because you will find this very surprising as well.

Victor: What?

Nikki: She offered me a promotion.

Victor: Wait a minute, there’s only — only one title ahead of the one you have right now.

Nikki: That’s right. She offered me the co-ceo job. And I accepted.

Victor: Really? From the very first touch.

Victoria: You know, it doesn’t really matter how or when dad pitched me the idea of promoting you. I — I was never going to agree to it. However, I did listen to what you had to say, and you are right. My workload is going to increase. I actually might need some help now that ashland’s out of the picture.

Adam: Well, if the title thing is tripping you up, i don’t — I don’t need it, at least not now. I’m just happy to pitch in and look at this as an opportunity to see how well we could work together if we tried.

Victoria: Oh, I’m sorry if i gave you the wrong idea. I didn’t mean to imply that i needed your help. I’ve decided to take on a partner. Someone that I can trust.

Adam: You’re going to hire someone new as your co-ceo?

Victoria: Yes. In fact, I already have.

Adam: Who?

Victoria: Well, the only logical choice. My mother.

Nikki: I know you wanted adam for the job, but just think about it for a minute before you respond. My stepping into the position makes a lot of sense.

Victor: Mm-hmm. Very smart move on victoria’s part.

Nikki: Of course, you and i both know that it was the strategic move to keep adam out, but I will do an excellent job.

Victor: Yes, my baby, I’m sure you will. And you will lend this company the stability that it needs right now, desperately.

Nikki: So you won’t fight victoria on this?

Victor: No. If I impose my will on her, she will be very upset, and if i prefer adam over her, I’ll never hear the end of it.

Nikki: I’m happy you can see that.

Victor: Madame ceo.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: This makes me very happy. My beautiful wife running the company. Oh, boy.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ] I don’t think you have to worry.

Victor: I’m not.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: Because I’ll keep on looking over your shoulder. You know that.

Nikki: Like always.

Victor: Always.

Jack: How did it go? How was your talk with your mom?

Kyle: I’m not sure. I’m still conflicted. I threw a lot of questions at her, and she gave me what seemed to be honest answers.& It was intense. Um, dad…I told her I would give her a chance to prove herself to me.

Proofread by Anita

Robert: Oh.

Anna: Got it, ha-ha.

Robert: Ah.

Anna: Alright, let’s see what streaming on Hulu.

[ Television turns on, suspenseful music playing ]

Robert: But why bother when you know what you’ve got with a classic?

Anna: It’s called expanding your horizons.

Robert: It’s called wasting time.

Anna: Oh, gosh. You’re such a stick in the mud.

Robert: Yeah, and you love me for it. No, I don’t.

Anna: Uh, yeah, you do. I remember, it’s written somewhere.

[ Television beeping ]

Anna: [ Laughs ] Look at us. Can you?

Robert: Hmm.

Anna: We used to be facing down deadly assassins. Now we’re fighting over what to watch on tv.

Robert: There is a term for that.

Dull.

Robert: Nah, bliss.

Anna: Mm, yeah, you might be right.

Robert: Mm.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Anna: No.

Robert: That’s gotta be trouble at this hour.

Anna: Oh, I could do with some trouble.

Robert: Uh-huh. Turn the telly off.

[ Television turns off, music stops ]

Anna: [ Chuckles ] Come on. After you. Out of the way. Let’s see who this is. Oh.

Felicia: Is this a bad time?


Nina: Hey.

Phyllis: Hey. Is everything okay? Um… you sounded strange on the phone.

Nina: Well, it’s been an evening. Uh, Willow Tait’s mot– oh, what am I talking about? You know Harmony.

Phyllis: Formerly known as Lorraine?

Nina: Yeah. Well, she was rushed to the E.R. There was some kind of accident?

Phyllis: Oh, no. I hope she’s all right.

Nina: Yeah, so do I.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] We don’t need a reminder, but… life is so short. We have to grab every bit of joy from it that we can.

Nina: Yeah.


 

Frank: Everything okay, boss?

Sonny: Yeah. Yeah. Somebody reminded me tonight to carpe diem.

Frank: Seize the day. Good advice.

Sonny: Yeah. Good night, Frank.

Frank: Good night, sir.


 

Michael: I’ve been studying up on Paris, preparing for our trip. Yes, we’re going to go to the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, but did you know that there is a museum solely dedicated to Monet?

Willow: Really?

Michael: Yeah. It’s on the outskirts of the city, and, uh, there is this huge, beautiful park right next to it. So we gotta go there. You know, it sounds like it rivals Central Park.

Willow: Then you know who would love it? Wiley.

Michael: Oh, yeah. Well, only if there’s dogs, because nothing is cool in Wiley’s world unless there’s dogs.

Willow: Right.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Sasha: Willow. Uh, we’d like to wait with you, but—but if you don’t want us here, then we can—

Willow: No, no, of course I want you here. Yeah.

Sasha: Okay.

Willow: My mom’s awake, so that’s something.

Sasha: She is? That means that there’s hope, right?

Michael: There’s always hope.

Carly: Harmony, you’re not making any sense. Do you know where you are? It’s Carly. You’re in the hospital. You were in an accident. Do you remember?

Harmony: [ Gasping ] Willow.

Carly: Willow’s here. Do you need me to get her?

[ Monitors beeping ]

Harmony: You need… you need to protect her. No matter the cost.

Carly: Okay, of course. Of course I’ll protect Willow. From what?


 

Anna: I’m going to open a bottle of wine, and then we can stream, like, the hottest new show on Hulu.

Robert: Or better still, we have a few shots of single malt scotch and enjoy Bogie and Bacall.

Felicia: Would it be okay if we skip movie night?

Anna: What’s happened?

Felicia: Well, it’s such a beautiful night. Why don’t we go, like, take a look at the stars?

Anna: Okay.

Robert: Okay. Start talking.

Felicia: Is that the big dipper or the little dipper? I never can tell.

Anna: Alright, Miss Stargazer. What’s going on?


 

Phyllis: Yoo-hoo.

Nina: Oh, thank you.

Phyllis: Let me guess — you saw Sonny today.

Nina: Is it that obvious?

Phyllis: To me.

Nina: I don’t know, Phyllis. For so long, it seemed impossible.

Phyllis: And now?

Nina: And now… maybe there’s a way forward for Sonny and me. We just have to be brave enough to take it.

[ Door opens ]

Valentin: Apologies. The sign in that window says “open.” Is this a private party?

Nina: I think there’s room for one more.

Phyllis: If it’s okay with you, it’s okay with me.

Nina: Valentin, have a seat.

Valentin: Phyllis Caulfield. How are you?

Phillis: Good. And you?

Valentin: Maintaining.

Phyllis: Tea?

Valentin: I’ll take something stronger — bourbon, neat.

Phyllis: Coming right up.

Valentin: We meet again.

Nina: So we do.


Sonny: Hey, Frank.

Frank: Yes, sir.

Sonny: I heated up, uh, some of these, uh, meatballs. Uh, you gotta try one.

Frank: [ Sighs ] I appreciate it, sir, but —

Sonny: No, just come on in.

Frank: I-I can’t leave my post, sir. I’m sorry.

Sonny: Okay. I understand, but can you just — just try one?

Frank: As you wish, sir.

Sonny: For your boss?

Frank: Definitely. Mmm. Hm. That’s delicious.

Sonny: [ Laughs ] Told you.

Frank: Mmm.

Sonny: Right?

Frank: You sure you’re okay, boss?

Sonny: Yeah. Yeah. Just, I’m, uh… hard — you know, can’t sleep. But I’ll be fine.

Frank: Thank you, sir.

Sonny: Alright.

[ Door Closes ]

Sonny: [ Sighs ] [ Grunts ] [ Grunts ] [ Exhales deeply ] [ Sighs ]

Lenny: About time you arrive.


 

Harmony: [ Strained ] I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have attacked you, but I didn’t… [ Strained gasp ]

Carly: Harmony, I’m fine.

Harmony: I almost killed you.

Carly: But you didn’t.

Harmony: You’re the only one — [ Gasps] You and Michael are the only ones… and I almost ruined it. I ruin everything.

Carly: No, you don’t. You didn’t ruin Willow. She’s a beautiful young girl.

Harmony: I was so selfish.

Carly: Calm down. You need to calm down.

Harmony: I just [Gasps] Wanted to repair what I’d broken with Willow, and I should have told the truth… when I had the chance.


 

Felicia: There will be a lunar eclipse at the end of the month.

Anna: Good to know.

Felicia: Some call it a blood moon. There are some cultures where it’s considered a bad omen for pregnant women.

Anna: Well, that counts us out.

[ Crickets chirping ]

Anna: Oh, my God. You’re not…?

Mac: We just enjoyed being around Bailey so much. You know, it’s all the fun and none of the responsibility.

Robert: Except to keep the child safe and unharmed while the mother’s gone.

Mac: You know what I’m saying.

Robert: Yeah, I know what you mean. Being a granddad is great. Play with the kid, hand it back, go to bed.

Mac: Unless you don’t.

Robert: Uh, I’m not following.

Mac: What if… instead of the granddad, you’re the actual dad? What if you do the parenthood thing all over again?

Felicia: No! I’m not pregnant.

Anna: Oh, because for a second there, I thought —

Felicia: I think Mac wants a baby.

Robert: Will you stop talking in riddles and just get to the point?

Mac: I think Felicia wants a baby.

Robert: [ Laughing ]


 

Nina: Nice tan.

Valentin: [ Chuckles ] Thanks.

Nina: Wherever you’ve been, it looks good on you, Valentin. So, are you fully recovered? Back to your old self?

Valentin: Hope not. I’d like to think I’ve done some growing.

Nina: I’d like to think that, too. About me. Not about you. Well, maybe a little about you, too. How’s Charlotte?

Valentin: She’s wonderful.

Nina: Yeah. She seems like she’s really enjoying boarding school.

Valentin: You’ve been in touch with her?

Nina: Yeah, I’ve talked to her. And I have to admit, I was a little surprised. I didn’t think you had it in you to part with your little girl.

Valentin: It wasn’t easy. After peter abducted Charlotte, I wanted her far away from Port Charles and Victor.

Nina: Yeah, but wasn’t Victor the one that dropped her off at school? I’m only saying that because Charlotte made it a point to say she wished it had been you.

Valentin: I was laid up recuperating. I figured, at the very least, I could trust Victor with the drop off.

Nina: Don’t forget about me. I’m always here. Especially when it comes to Charlotte.

Valentin: I like that. And I’ll keep that in mind.


 

Sonny: Lenny?

Lenny: That’s right.

Sonny: This is the firehouse where I used to dance with Nina.

Lenny: Sure is. And once again, your wardrobe is lacking. Good thing I came prepared. It’s yours. Might as well take it. Oh. Perfect fit.

Sonny: [ Chuckles ] This is not real. I-I-I can’t be here. Is this…?

Lenny: Oop, oop. Give me one good reason.

Sonny: First of all, you’re dead, Lenny.

Lenny: Look who’s talking. When you crawled out of that river, weren’t you a goner? A funeral thrown for you back home and everything?

Sonny: Yeah, that was different.

Lenny: All depends on how you look at it. And it looks to me like you could use a stiff one. What’s your poison these days, Mike?

Sonny: Club soda.

Lenny: Come again?

Sonny: Oh, things have changed since the last time I saw you.

Lenny: Good thing I’ve got nothing but time. Why don’t you start from the beginning, when you went back to Port Charles?


Willow: Thank you guys for being here. It means a lot.

Michael: We wouldn’t be anywhere else.

Sasha: We love you.

Brando: And if there’s anything that we can do, at all…

Willow: Trust me, you’re doing it.

Carly: I get it. I really do. I was raised by my adoptive mother, but it wasn’t kept a secret. Harmony, the longer you take to say it out loud, the harder it’s going to be to say it.

Harmony: If I had just been brave enough, it wouldn’t have gone this far.

Carly: You mean with Neil?

Harmony: No. If I had just told the truth… there would have been more time. Things would have been different, but now it’s gone too far. And Willow isn’t safe with her. And now Willow… can never know.


 

Anna: Look, Bailey is the most adorable little baby, and I can completely understand Mac wishing to have one exactly like her, but —

Felicia: maybe it’s more than just wishing.

Anna: You think he’s serious about having another child?

Felicia: I don’t know.

Anna: Or adopting one?

Felicia: I mean, we haven’t gotten that far yet, and I’m not even sure what he’s saying. I’m — I’m just — I’m getting this vibe.

Anna: What about your vibe?

Felicia: What?

Anna: Well, I mean, Mac may want to raise another child, but do you want to, really?

Robert: Okay. Now, have we got that all out of our system?

Mac: Thank you.

Robert: Good. Because it’s my turn. I got a story. This is about an old man who becomes a father. Except he thinks that the diaper that needs changing is his own.

Mac: Ha-ha.

Robert: Hey, seriously. I’ll never forget the fact that you raised my little girl at a time that I couldn’t.

Mac: Helping to raise Robin was one of the ultimate joys of my life, and I will always think of Maxie and Georgie as mine. But Felicia and I, we never — we never were able to bring up a kid together.

Robert: W-wait, wait. This isn’t just Felicia? You want this, too?


 

Sonny: I still can’t believe that Carly and I are divorced. I thought we would last, you know, until…

Lenny: “until death do us part”?

Sonny: [ Chuckles ]

Lenny: Mm. Take it from me — death is easy compared to divorce. Phyllis can still put flowers on my grave, think of me when they’re playing our song, remember the two of us at our best, and not our worst.

Sonny: I envy her that.

Lenny: You have kids? How are they taking it?

Sonny: Well, uh, they’re young. Donna and Avery, you know, they’re a bit confused, but they miss Carly. But Carly’s really good at seeing them as much as possible.

Lenny: They’ll be all right.

Sonny: My son, who’s having a big problem with it, he’s grown up, but it’s — it’s put a strain on our relationship.

Lenny: What’s his name?

Sonny: Michael.

Lenny: Michael. I like that name. Is he in the “family business”?

Sonny: He wanted to be at some point, but I — I shut it down. And now, forget about it. He don’t even… he don’t even want any part of me or my life.

Lenny: Don’t give up on him. That’s an order.

Sonny: No, I would never give up on my son. But… he’s given up on me.

Lenny: What, just because you’re not with his mother anymore?

Sonny: That’s part of it.

Lenny: And what’s the other part?

Sonny: Nina.


 

Nina: [ Laughs ] Really?

Valentin: She’s already made the equestrian team. You should ask her about it next time you talk to her.

Nina: Oh, I definitely will. And I am truly impressed. I mean, I’m sure that the competition was fierce. An elite European boarding school?

Valentin: An elite European boarding school where the students not only ride, but they have their own string of expensive horses.

Nina: Fancy. Exactly my point. And she rode one of the horses at the school and she still made the team! Your daughter is a very talented rider, a true competitor.

Valentin: No argument there.

Nina: Okay. Now out with it.

Valentin: Out with what?

Nina: How badly do you miss her?

Valentin: Desperately. I miss her desperately.

Nina: Oh. Is there, like, a parents’ weekend or something like that coming up?

Valentin: I don’t know. I hope so. I’ll have to check the, uh, school website.

Nina: And it must have been really hard for you after everything that happened with Bailey.

Valentin: Yeah, I loved her.

Nina: I know you did.

Valentin: But I’ve come to appreciate that Brook Lynn did what she had to do. It was the right thing to protect Maxie’s daughter from Peter.

Nina: But it’s painful. I can see it in your eyes. You know that I know what it’s like to lose a child. But it’s even more painful when it turns out that she was never yours.


 

Sasha: [ Sniffles ]

[ Pill case snaps shut ]

Sasha: Do you even realize… if you would have taken one of these and they found it in your system? No. You have been given a second chance. Don’t blow it.

Sasha: [ Inhales sharply ]

[ Toilet flushes ]

[ Knock on door ]

Brando: Sasha? You okay?

[ Knock on door ]

Sasha: Yeah. I’ll be right there.

Willow: God, I’m just so aware of it now.

Michael: Of what?

Willow: All the time I kept my mom at arm’s length. Not that she didn’t deserve to be, though it was always more about protecting myself than it was about punishing my mom.

Michael: No, Willow, you had every right to want to distance yourself.

Willow: But now it’s just staring me in the face. My mom could be dying, and I can, like, feel it on my heart, all the time I could have spent with her, all the things I could have said to her. I know I made the right decision for myself back then.

Michael But you still wish you could get that time back.

Willow: So much.

Carly: Who can never know? Willow can never know that she’s adopted?

Harmony: She loves too much, too hard. She’s obsessive and possessive. She’ll try to take her away from Michael. She — she’s dangerous.

Carly: Are you talking about Willow’s biological mother? Do you know who she is?

Harmony: She’s… she’s bad for Willow, and Willow knows it. She hates her.

Carly: Willow knows this person?

Harmony: She was… one of two. My Willow, she had another half.

Carly: Had another half? Was Willow a twin?

Harmony: Nelle…

Carly: Nelle? Oh, my god. Nina is Willow’s biological mother?


 

Harmony: [ Strained ] You need to protect her. Nina’s love will smother her. Please, Carly.

[ Monitors alarming ]

Harmony: Please.

Carly: We’ll take care of her, I promise you. Willow will be okay; I promise you that.

Harmony: [ Hyperventilating ]

[ Monitors alarming ]

TJ: Carly, move. Ms. Miller? No pulse.

Amy: Pads are ready.

TJ: Charge.

[ Paddles whine ]

Nurse: Charging loaded.

TJ: Clear.

[ Monitors continue alarming ]

TJ: One, two, three, four… five, six, seven, eight…

Amy: I’m going to get the ambu bag ready.


 

Valentin: You know I will always regret what I’ve done to you — using Sasha to manipulate your emotions to win your heart back.

Nina: Well, the irony is, you already had my heart.

Valentin: I know.

Nina: But now I can see that your intentions were good.

Valentin: You can?

Nina: Yeah. You just wanted to give me the… the one thing that I was missing in my life. It’s a beautiful sentiment.

Valentin: Poorly executed.

Nina: Oh, poorly executed.

Valentin: And, ironically, Nelle was in town the whole time.

Nina: It’s crazy, right? I-I still can’t believe that Nelle was my daughter and everything that played out after that — that I discovered that Carly kept the truth from me, and that she had a hand in Nelle’s death. It set a chain of events in motion that continues to this day.

Valentin: Sonny Corinthos… is he a link in that chain?


 

Lenny: Hallelujah! You finally got up the gumption to tell Nina how you feel about her.

Sonny: Well, let me tell you something. I don’t know what we are. We’re — Nina and I are just kind of like a slow dance for now.

Lenny: Oh, you and your slow dances. They’re nice and all, but what do they get you?

Sonny: Take it easy, there, Lenny.

Lenny: Or what? I’ll bust a blood vessel? Uh, been there, done that.

Sonny: [ Laughs ]

Lenny: Yeah? You listen up. If you keep waiting for the right moment, next thing you know, you’ll be turning up daisies like yours truly.

Sonny: You know, I always appreciated you and Phyllis’ love. I mean, it was real, honest. Not always perfect, but it was tough…

Lenny: Mm-hmm.

Sonny: …Like you can go through anything in life. What’s — what’s the secret?

Lenny: No secret. You just try to give more than you get, that’s all. And if you both do that, you can’t lose.

Sonny: Well, you know who gave me a gift? Nina.

Lenny: Yeah?

Sonny: Yeah. It’s a long story, but she’s not making me take sides against my son.

Lenny: That’s some gift.

Sonny: So what are you giving her in return?


 

[ Paddles whine ]

TJ: Clear!

[ Monitors alarming ]

TJ: One, two, three. Another dose of epi. Six, seven, eight. Run the IV wide. 11, 12, 13, 14. Come on, Harmony. 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. Don’t quit on us! 22, 23, 24, 25… 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.

Amy: Administering PPV. One, two…

[ Flatline ]

Amy: She’s in asystole.

TJ: [ Panting, sniffles ] Time of death, 10:53 P.M. [ Exhales sharply ] [ Exhales deeply ]

[ Telephones ringing in distance ]

Brando: Hi. This hospital holds painful memories. But if there’s good news tonight…

Sasha: I know. It’s a beginning.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Michael: Mom?

Carly: You need to get back to the ICU.


 

Felicia: I’m not sure how I feel about raising a child at this stage of my life. I mean, let’s face it, I’m a grandmother of three.

Anna: Oh, yes. But don’t let that be the thing to stop you. You’re very young at heart, and in all the ways that count.

Felicia: Well, thank you for saying that.

Anna: I mean it. [ Sighs ] Gosh. If this really is something that you and Mac both want…

Felicia: Well, that’s just it. I’m not sure. I don’t know.

Anna: Uh, don’t you think this is a conversation you should be having with your husband?

Felicia: Ya think?

Anna: Yeah.

Felicia: [ Sighs ] Mac and I have shared so many adventures. Raising a child together isn’t one of them.

Anna: Whatever you decide, I’ll always be in your corner.

Felicia: Thank you. Well, maybe it’s all in my head. A kid? That’s probably the last thing Mac wants. [ Laughs ]

Mac: Maybe I’ve got it all wrong. Maybe the last thing Felicia wants is a baby.

Robert: Well, there’s one way to find out. Let’s go and ask her. Come on.

Mac: What?! No, don’t. You better not, I swear. If you say anything —

Robert: What are you gonna do? [ Laughs ]

[ Door opens ]

Robert: Ladies. What’s it like out there?

Anna: It’s breathtaking. How’s the whiskey?

Robert: Mmm. Breathtaking.


 

Sonny: You’re absolutely right, Lenny.

Lenny: Tell me something I don’t know.

Sonny: Well, look, Nina is putting me ahead of her own interests. I should do something for her.

Lenny: Then what are you waiting for, huh? Get out of here.

Sonny: Alright.

Lenny: [ Chuckles ]

Sonny: But how do I get out of here? What, am I gonna catch the next plane? I mean, how do I get home? Lenny? Where’d you go? Lenny! Come back, Lenny! Come back!

Frank: Boss, what’s the problem?

Sonny: Uh… [ Sighs ] Man. [ Scoffs ]


 

Nina: What Sonny and I had, that was in Nixon Falls. Now that we’re back in Port Charles, he has a life, he has a family, he has responsibilities, and so do I.

Valentin: Sounds very sensible and thought out, and I don’t believe a word of it.

Nina: Excuse me?

Valentin: The tone of your voice changes when you mention his name.

Nina: D-don’t tell me that you’re jealous. [ Chuckles ]

Valentin: When you say his name, there is a notable change in the tone of your voice, and that tells me that you’re more than just two people living separate lives.

Nina: And I’m sure you’re going to tell me your opinion on all this.

Valentin: [ Sighs ] Whatever happens — maybe you get everything you want, maybe it comes crashing down — I want you to know… you can count on me.

Nina: I’ll keep that in mind.


Sasha: I really thought that Willow’s mom was going to be okay, that she was going to make it.

Brando: Hey, we don’t know anything yet, okay? M-maybe she’s gone into surgery, she’s taken a turn for the worse and —

Sasha: Or I could have killed her.

Brando: Hey, it was an accident. Listen to me. Willow knows that. Everyone knows that.

Sasha: Why is this happening?

Willow: Oh, my god. She’s gone, isn’t she?

TJ: We did everything we could. Willow, w-we did everything we could. I’m so sorry.

Willow: [ Crying ]


 

Felicia: Oh, no, thank you. We should probably call it a night.

Mac: Busy day tomorrow.

Robert: Yeah. You should get the rest while you can.

Felicia: What’s that supposed to mean?

Robert: Chief of detectives. On call 24/7, right?

Felicia: Look, okay, well, good night.

Robert: Good night.

Felicia: Forget everything I said. Probably my imagination.

Anna: Okay.

Mac: Dinner soon?

Anna: Yes, absolutely. Yes. Yeah.

Robert: Drive safe.

Anna: Bye. Bye.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

[ Crickets chirping ]

Mac: [ Sighs ] Hey, is that the big dipper or the little dipper?

Felicia: Huh. That’s the same thing I asked Anna. Do you think it would be okay to make a wish, even if it’s the wrong constellation?

Mac: I don’t see why not.

Felicia: [ Sighs ]

Mac: Felicia…

Felicia: Shh! Don’t say anything, otherwise it won’t come true.

Robert: To Mac and Felicia.

Anna: May they get everything they wish for.

Robert: Hmm. May the person who gets the remote get everything they want.

Anna: Ooh!


Sonny: I just drifted off for a second. Everything’s fine.

Frank: Bad dream?

Sonny: Actually, uh, it was a good dream. Good night, frank.

Frank: Good night, sir.

Sonny: [ Sighs ]

[ Telephone line ringing ]

[ Voicemail beeps ]

Nina: Hi, this is Nina. I can’t take your call right now, but please leave a message, and I’ll call you right back.

[ Voicemail beeps ]

Sonny: Hi, Nina. It’s Sonny. I-I just wanted to say that, uh, I was so happy to see you tonight, and, uh, I can’t wait to see you very, very soon.


 

Valentin: Thank you for your hospitality.

Phyllis: Anytime.

Valentin: Walk you to your car?

Nina: Wow, that’s very chivalrous of you this evening.

Valentin: I’m always chivalrous.

[ Women laughing ]

Nina: Hey, thank you for the tea.

Phyllis: Uh-huh.

Nina: And I will talk to you tomorrow.

Phyllis: Sounds good.

Nina: Okay.

Valentin: After you.

Nina: Wow. Again, being chivalrous.

Valentin: It’s kind of an affliction.

[ Light switch clicks ]

Phyllis: [ Gasps ]


 

Willow: [ Crying ] The — could I just, um… could I have a minute alone with her?

TJ: Yeah, you take — you take as much time as you need, okay?

Willow: [ Sniffles ] [ Crying ]

Michael: I can… I can wait out here.

Willow: Come with me?

Michael: Anywhere.

Sasha: Oh, God.

TJ: It’s — it’s a good thing you’re here. Willow’s gonna need her friends now more than ever.

Willow: I need you to know that I forgive you and I love you… so much more than you probably ever realized. Do you remember our picnic in that meadow in Colorado? When you braided my hair, you put all those wildflowers in it. [ Sniffles ] I don’t know if I’ve ever felt so beautiful or free. There were good memories, too, okay? Filled with magic, laughter… love. Those are the ones I’ll tell Wiley about. You hold on tight to them, Mom. I will, too. [ Crying ]

Harmony: You have to protect her. Nina’s love will smother her. Please, Carly. Please.

Carly: It’s okay. We got her. Willow is going to be okay.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Violet (to Chase): You can never have too many tea parties.

Brook Lynn (on phone): It’s so good to hear your voice.

TJ (to Britt): It was worse than I could ever imagine.

Terry (to Elizabeth): I do have something to confess. You’re not gonna like it.

Sonny (to Dante): What are you saying? I’m vulnerable or my business is vulnerable?

Michael (to Carly): I don’t know how to predict Willow from the fallout.

Willow: What was my mother trying to hide?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Leo: You asked what the hell I wanted. The truth is, I spent my whole life wanting things– money, power, alamainian emeralds. But now I’ve come to realize there’s only one thing I want. And that’s you.

Nancy: Now, you know, bonnie, I really thought that I would’ve been the last person that craig wanted to see. Yeah. But I’m so glad I went. Uh-huh. No. You know, when I got there, he was such a hot mess. Yeah. But we sat and we talked, and we realized that after everything we’ve both been through, that we’re still friends. Yeah. No, no. Then leo showed up.

[Laughs] No one has ever accused leo of not having nerve. Yeah. And th– clyde? You mean the jerk who was going to take me out on my first date and then I never heard from him again, that clyde? I’m telling you right– oh, I’m so sorry. You.

Jack: What are you talking about?

Abigail: You know, based on his reaction, I’m assuming you didn’t tell him what you shared with me before rafe led you to the squad car. So did you want to tell him, or should I? I didn’t think so, because, you know, you never want to admit you’ve done anything until you’ve already been caught.

Jack: Abigail, what are you talking about?

Abigail: This is about the fact that grandma laura’s death was not an accident. Was it? She told me that she killed grandma laura on purpose.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Jack: Is that true?

Gwen: Course it isn’T. She must’ve misheard what I said.

Abigail: I heard you very clearly. Her exact words were, and I quote, “oh, and by the way, your precious grandmother, I killed that bitch on purpose.”

Jack: God. My god.

Gwen: Was last night not enough fun for you, abigail? Did you wake up this morning and think, ooh. How can I hurt gwen more? How can I make her pay even more?

Jennifer: You do realize that you really, really are not the victim here, right? But my mother was your victim. Or should I say one of your victims?

Jack: Why didn’t you say anything about this last night?

Abigail: Because I felt like you had already been through enough.

Gwen: Or you hadn’t thought it up yet.

Jennifer: Oh, yeah. Rafe had you in cuffs and he was leading you away, and I saw you, you whispered something in abigail’s ear, and I doubt you were complimenting her dress.

Gwen: It’s a problem I have. I don’t like someone else having the last word.

Jack: Why did you choose to tell me now?

Jennifer: Because I told her she had to, jack. You have to know. We are now talking about murder.

Jack: Are we? Did you kill laura?

Nancy: You know what? I take it back. When I stepped on your foot, I wish I’d broken every one of your metatarsals. Bonnie, look, I’ll call you back. I got to get out of here.

Clyde: Come on, nancy, wait.

Nancy: Wait? I have waited for you, clyde. I waited all day yesterday for you to call like you said you would.

Clyde: I know. I’m sorry about that, but there was a reason.

Nancy: Yeah. And I know what it is. You don’t want to date me, but you’re too much of a coward to tell me.

Clyde: No, my son, ben, he went missing.

Nancy: I–is he okay? Did they find him?

Clyde: Yeah, eventually. He was chained up in the dimera crypt.

Nancy: [Laughs] Okay. He was chained up in the dimera crypt? Oh, wh–wait. Did stefano dimera come back from the dead again?

[Gasps]

Clyde: No, it was the devil.

Nancy: [Laughs] Oh. And how is he doing?

Clyde: Listen, I know it sounds crazy, but it’s not funny. We found ben, but we have no idea where his wife is, and she’s about to have a baby. What we do know is the devil has kidnapped her.

Nancy: Y–you know, clyde, if you don’t want to date me, you don’t have to recycle old tales from the crypt.

Clyde: I swear on the life my unborn grandson that I am telling the truth. But if you don’t believe me, take a look at this.

Chad: I’m gonna kill him.

Sonny: Okay.

Chad: I’m gonna find leo stark, and I am gonna kill him.

Sonny: Chad.

Chad: I’m gonna get rolf to bring him back from the dead so I can kill him again.

Sonny: Buddy, hey. You’re gonna have to calm down.

Chad: Calm dow–how am i supposed to calm down when this is on the front page of the paper?

Sonny: I mean, it does make you look pretty busty.

Chad: Really?

Sonny: [Laughing] What?

Chad: It’s not the time to be funny, all right. You know what it is? Right now would be a good moment for us to reflect upon the fact that all of this humiliation and degradation that I am going through and continue to go through in this whole gay fantasia is your fault.

Sonny: Chad. It’s a picture of you in drag, okay? It’s not that big of a deal. It’s not degrading. It’s not humiliating–

Chad: The story is.

Sonny: What–what story?

Chad: The exclusive that leo stark gave to “the intruder.” Listen to this. Listen. “When I first met chad dimera in phoenix, there was an instant attraction between us.” In his dreams. “Even though he was a married man, he insisted we go out to a gay club. And after a wild night of drinking and dancing, the two of us ended up in bed together.” You know, and he leaves out the very pertinent fact that he crawled into my bed like a slug. I mean, the little creep outed me. And I wasn’t even in!

Leo: I want you back, craig. I want you to forgive me, and I want you to marry me.

Craig: Sorry. You already have a husband.

Leo: I told you, I only married darius so he could get his green card. He begged me to help him. Do you know how cold those winters are in canada? They are hell on his complexion, which is not her strong suit to begin with.

Craig: And why in god’s name would I care about any of this now?

Leo: Because I need to make you see I don’t love darius or any other man. I love you.

Nancy: [Chuckles] So you really expect a picture of chad dimera in drag to convince me that the devil made you not call me?

Clyde: What? No, no, no. That’s the wrong story. Here.

Nancy: [Sighs] “Crypt captive baby daddy rescued: Pregnant wife now missing”? Oh, clyde. You must be so worried.

Clyde: Appreciate that. But I’m really sorry about the dinner.

Nancy: No, no. It’s okay. I mean, you’ve got so much on your mind and, well, you just forgot.

Clyde: I was hoping that I could maybe make it up to you if you’ve got the time, and could take you out to lunch.

Nancy: But what about your son and your daughter-in-law?

Clyde: Well, police are looking for her, and ben would rather be alone right now. He’s always been that way. Unlike me, who likes company. Especially nice company, like you.

Nancy: [Spluttering] I would love to, yes.

Clyde: Well, good. Hope you don’t mind brady pub. I do have an employee discount over there.

Nancy: That would be fine.

Clyde: Good. Then you can tell me all about your ex-husband’s wedding.

Craig: Leo, I have heard you say “I love you” a million times. But I know that you were lying to me from the second we met. I–I don’t know why I would believe you now, hm.

Leo: You should believe me because of your feet.

Craig: My feet?

Leo: Yes. Your feet. When they hurt after a long shift at the hospital, I rub them for you. And when you order some drink you can’t stand, some fruity something, I trade my scotch and soda, no complaints. When you’re driving me around, I touch the back of your head, and I curl your hair into those little circles because I know how much you like it. Those are just some of the little ways that I show I love you. But there’s also a big way. You should know that I love you because for the first time in my life, I admitted that I did something wrong and I apologized. I’m sorry I lied to you. I’m sorry I seduced you and tried to marry you for your money. I am sorry for so many things. But there is one thing I am not sorry for.

Craig: And what’s that? Hm?

Leo: Even if we are through, I am not sorry that I fell in love with you. Because our time together have been the best days of my life.

Gwen: I’m telling you the truth.

Jennifer: He has your word on that? But really, I mean, what is your word worth? There’s no one in this room that would believe anything that you would say right now, gwen.

Gwen: My father asked me a question. Are you going to let me answer it?

Jennifer: Yeah, yeah. But first, can I remind you that we already talked about this? You swore to me that my mother’s death was an accident. And I believed you. You looked me in the eye and you told me that you were sorry, that it wasn’t intentional. And I–I accepted that. I–I accepted you as part of our family. So back then, was that the truth or not? Life’s been hard enough.

Gwen: I was telling you the truth that day. Your mother’s death was an accident.

Abigail: Which compels me to reiterate that that’s not what you said to me at the wedding. Unless, of course, I managed to misinterpret “I killed that bitch on purpose.”

Gwen: No, you heard exactly what I wanted you to hear, and you took it just the way I wanted you to take it.

Abigail: But why would you say something like that if it wasn’t true?

Gwen: Can you not comprehend that I wanted to hurt you? I mean, really, are you so perfect that you can’t understand a base impulse?

Jack: So that was a lie?

Gwen: Yes, it was a lie. Look, we all know that she is wonderful and that I am dirt. But she said that she would be my matron of honor. She said she’d be my sister, and I believed her. But instead she used my wedding as a way to kill any chance that I would ever at being happy, to make sure that I would lose xander, to make sure I would lose my father. I was handcuffed, so I couldn’t exactly punch her, could I? So instead, I punched her with my words.

Chad: “It was clear that since that fabulous night to remember, chad could not forget about me. When I returned to salem, he left his wife and small children at home and came knocking at my hotel room door drunk and begging me for sex.”

Sonny: Chad, I’m–

Chad: Shut up. There’s more. “Earlier, his soon-to-be cuckolded wife, abigail dimera–” that’s great. He took a swipe at her. She’s gonna love that. “Abigail dimera confided to me that chad was obsessed with me.” As I recall, that was another one of your ideas. You were full of wonderful ideas that night, weren’t you?

Sonny: I know. Mea culpa. All right? Mea culpa.

Chad: “But I rejected chad’s desperate pleas for a one-on-one liaison because I was engaged and in love with another man.”

Sonny: Wh– who are you calling?

Chad: Who do you think I am calling? I am calling my lawyer, so I can sue “the intruder” and leo for libel.

Sonny: Are you sure you want to do that?

Craig: Are you trying to play me again, leo?

Leo: I’ve always been a player. But in this particular moment, I’m being perfectly straight with you. Poor choice of words.

Craig: You are actually gay, aren’t you?

Leo: Now, that would be quite the con, huh? But you more than anybody should know, I am gay.

Craig: You said you fell in love with me, but when we first met–

Leo: You were just another mark.

Craig: Yeah.

Leo: I could tell you were closeted, so I lured you out with every intention of marrying you, divorcing you, and taking you for every penny you had. I would’ve succeeded too, had it not been for will, sonny, chad, brady, and your daughter, chloe.

Nancy: I guess you could say that craig and leo’s wedding didn’t go off without a hitch. But then again, maybe– maybe it did.

Clyde: I have no idea what that means, but I look forward to you explaining it to me over lunch. Shall we?

Chloe: Mom?

Nancy: Oh, hi, honey.

Chloe: What the hell are you doing with this guy? Find your beat

Nancy: Chloe, language. Clyde, this is my daughter and her boyfriend, brady black. Oh, is it all right if I call you her boyfriend?

Brady: Yeah, yeah, that’s– that’s fine by me.

Nancy: Oh, good. Well, this is clyde weston.

Chloe: Yeah, we know who he is.

Nancy: Oh, good. Then you should know we are about to go on our first date.

Chloe: Over my dead body.

Chad: Well, the way I see it, I have two options. I can kill him or I can sue him.

Sonny: Okay, look, I really don’t think you want to do that.

Chad: Yes, sonny, I really do want to do that.

Sonny: Okay, look, in order to sue for libel, there has to be false statement purporting to be fact. Technically, everything in this article, everything that you and abigail said and did is true. You did try to seduce leo.

Chad: Yeah, because you pleaded with me to do it. Once again, this was your fault. Actually, you know what, sonny? This was my fault, okay? Because I let you talk me into what I knew to be a deeply, truly horrible idea.

Leo: No matter what they did to try and break us up, I was always one step ahead of them. And I would’ve gotten away with it too, had it not been for those meddling kids.

Craig: Scooby-doo?

Leo: Getting up early on sunday mornings to watch old saturday morning cartoons with you. Another example of how I love you.

Craig: Or two cases of arrested development.

Leo: It just got scary, how much we have in common, how easy it was to be with you, how fun.

Craig: And my money had nothing to do with how easy it all was?

Leo: Well, I won’t deny it. I liked your money too. I tell you, that prenup chloe had drawn up was a stroke of genius. A move I did not anticipate. When I saw it, my first thought was, game over. There’s nothing I can do but walk away. There’s nothing left in this for me.

Craig: Then why did you sign it, hm?

Leo: I signed it because in that moment, when given the choice between giving up everything that I had worked for, everything that you had worked for, I didn’t care about losing any of it. I didn’t care that darius was gonna be furious with me. I only cared about losing you. And now, the million-dollar question. Do you believe me? I think you do. But you don’t have to answer that question. Answer this one instead. Can you forgive me? Can we please start over?

Abigail: Why should we believe you, hm? After all of the horrible things that you have done to our family, it is hardly a stretch to think that you could’ve killed grandma laura. You drugged me. It took me months to recover, but I did; I was lucky. But poor sarah? You made sure she got a second dose of the drug. She may never be herself ever again.

Jack: Actually, there’s reason for hope. Gwen told xander where he could find rolf’s antidote. She’s doing what she can to undo the harm.

Abigail: [Scoffs] So what, am I– am I just supposed to act like she’s mother teresa now? Or dad, maybe her back is up against the wall, she’s actually having to pay for something that she’s done, and this is just some last minute sympathy. You know, I sure hope that maggie and xander take the time to test whatever it is you led them to.

Gwen: Do you really think–

Abigail: That you would do it again? Yes. I do. You know why? Because you have made it very clear that anybody who is loved by anyone that you think is supposed to love you is fair game. I think you would be willing to hurt sarah now more than you ever have.

Gwen: You said your piece. Now, I’d like a moment alone with my father, please.

Abigail: I bet you would.

Jennifer: Jack. I will support any decision that you make right now. But I want you to know that I will never trust that woman to be a part of our family ever again.

Gwen: You said at the wedding that you were done with me. And now, today, there’s even more damning evidence against me. So I take it nothing’s gonna change your mind about me. Right?

Jack: You’ll always be my daughter.

Gwen: Yeah, you’re talking biologically.

Jack: No. When laura sent your mother away, she made you think that I turned my back on you, that I knew about you, but went on living my life pretending you didn’t exist. I never chose to do that.

Gwen: So– so we can move past this?

Jack: I will always be your father. But after what you did to sarah, and to abigail, I honestly don’t know what kind of a family we could ever be.

[Dramatic music]

Nancy: Chloe, I know it’s hard to see me moving on from your father, but what’s good for the gander is good for the goose. Especially when the gander likes ganders.

Chloe: Oh, mom, I don’t care that you’re dating. It’s who you’re dating. This guy just got out of prison.

Nancy: I know that. Clyde told me. You know, listen, men can change who they are. And clyde said he’s changed, and I believe him. Now, shall we go? I’m starving.

Chloe: Ugh, why am I getting a feeling of déj vu? I just–I’ve spent the last few months trying to stop one parent from dating the wrong person, and now I have to do the same with the other parent?

Brady: Look, I was here for you when it was leo and your dad, so I’m gonna be here for you with clyde and your mom.

Chloe: Thank you. At least I know I’m dating the right person.

Chad: Well, then if I can’t sue him, I’m gonna give my own interview. I’ll tell everyone that leo stark is a bigamist.

Sonny: Chad, you really want to sink down to his level?

Chad: Yes, he hit me below the belt. It’s time to return the favor.

Sonny: I’m telling you, I–I really just think you should let this go. Okay, stories like this, they tend to just fizzle out on their own. You would just be adding fuel to the fire.

Chad: Oh, yeah? That’s easy for you to say. You’re not even mentioned in the article.

Sonny: Wait, what? You’re right.

Chad: Yeah. Why is that? Why didn’t leo come after you? Maybe leo was right. Maybe that’s why you didn’t come to the wedding.

Sonny: Don’t even infer that. Okay, I told you, I had a business meeting. Okay, and besides, you heard what he said. Leo was going after everyone who came between him and craig. And I have a sickening feeling you were just the first one on the list.

Craig: I do believe you love me, leo. Part of me wants to forgive you and take you in my arms and hold you and never let you go.

Leo: But?

Craig: But I don’t trust you. And trust is something that matters to me. I took a huge leap of faith to be with you. I had to stop living a lie, a lie that I was telling myself and telling the world.

Leo: That’s a good thing, craig.

Craig: Yeah. But in the process, I tore apart my family, and I hurt the only woman I ever loved, just to love you.

Leo: Does that mean you’re going back to be with nancy?

Craig: No. I am gay. And I will never hide that again.

[Sighs] But you and I, we’re done. I left your stuff downstairs.

[Soft dramatic music]

Leo: Do you hate me?

Craig: No, leo, I don’t hate you. But I cannot be with you. But because of you, I can now be myself. Goodbye, kiddo. With all that’s happened, I– I don’t regret loving you.

[Dramatic music]

Brady: Sonny.

Sonny: Hey.

Brady: I just saw the article in which leo outed chad.

Sonny: Yeah, I was there when chad saw it, and it was not pretty.

Brady: Yeah. Yeah. I’ll admit, I mean, when I saw the picture, it was– it was kind of funny, but then I read the article, and I’ll tell you, that leo, he’s quite the creep. I mean, every one of those lies was calculated to hurt.

Sonny: Yeah, well, that’s leo for you. He didn’t just go after chad. He went after his marriage, his family.

Brady: Yeah, which is odd. I think it’s odd because why wouldn’t he–why wouldn’t he go after me or chloe? Why chad?

Sonny: Or me.

Leo: Well, don’t worry. You’re next. And in case you’re feeling left out, brady, once I’m done with sonny boy here, you and you vacuous little girlfriend will then be next.

Chloe: Dad, hey, I got your text. I was starting to think that you maybe never wanted to see me again.

Craig: Oh, now you know that was never gonna happen.

Chloe: I know last night was awful; I’m sorry.

Craig: It’s okay; there’s no need for a postmortem. Leo and I have said our goodbyes.

Chloe: Again, I’m sorry.

Craig: It’s okay. I know I was upset last night.

Chloe: And you had every right to be.

Craig: Ah, but, having had time to think, I realized that everything you did, you had reason for. You did everything because you love me.

Chloe: I do. And I swear that’s why I did it.

Craig: I know.

Chloe: Unfortunately, I have a lot of experience in putting my life back together again, so if you need me to talk you through it, you know?

Craig: I’m okay. Thanks, honey.

Chloe: Have you eaten anything? Want to get some lunch?

Craig: I’m okay.

Chloe: You don’t want to face the world, we can just order some room service.

Craig: Sweetie, after talking to leo, I made a few decisions. I’m leaving salem. And I’m going back to new york.

Clyde: Nancy. I don’t know you very well. But what I do know, I like. A lot.

Nancy: Oh. My, my, my. This is like the beginning of our first date, and that sounded like the prelude to a kiss-off.

Clyde: No. No, think of it more as a– it’s like an offering for an easy way out. You see, I know what my son means to me. And the last thing in the world I want to do is come between you and your daughter. So if you’d like to back out now, that’s totally cool with me.

[Soft dramatic music]

[Door opens]

Abigail: Dad left. It’s just you and me. And I want the truth. Did you or did you not kill my grandmother?

It’s the most wonderful

time of the year

Jennifer: The horrible thing is, jack, is given the arrogance of what my mom did, and then gwen had to pay for that arrogance, I can understand why she would want my mom dead.

Jack: After you left, she swore to me that she didn’t kill laura, that she was telling the truth when she told us that all she was trying to do was hurt abigail, which in and of itself is pretty horrifying, as if she hadn’t hurt abigail enough already.

Jennifer: So which of the two scenarios are the truth, jack?

Jack: Damned if I know.

Abigail: So were you lying to my mother when you said you didn’t kill her? Or were you lying to me when you said that you did?

Gwen: Not knowing is killing you, isn’t it? And knowing that, I’m never gonna give you an answer. Oh, abigail. Poor you. I am never going to tell you what really happened to your sweet little granny. You will never know. Payback’s a bitch, isn’t it?

Chad: No, my wife is not leaving me for another woman. No, no, no. No, I did not have a threesome with two men. I don’t know where you get your information, buddy, but if you print this garbage, I am gonna make you pay.

[Cell phone ringing] Ugh.

Nancy: Clyde, I love my daughter. But I’m a grown woman. And my days of pleasing other people are over. The things that I have been through in the last couple of months, I deserve my happy ending.

Chloe: What? What about your job?

Craig: I already gave seth burns my resignation. I didn’t feel good about taking the job away from kayla. The hospital will run much better with her in charge.

Chloe: That’s not true.

Craig: Mm.

Chloe: But–so there’s no– there’s no changing your mind?

Craig: No. But I’m glad you came over so i could say goodbye before I left. I wanted to see you. And I wanted to tell you, princess, that I am sorry. I’m sorry about how much I hurt you and how much I hurt your mother.

Chloe: Dad, all I ever wanted was for you to be happy.

Craig: I know.

Chloe: Okay? And I know that you were never gonna be happy not being who you really are. And the fact that leo is–

Craig: Ah.

Chloe: Okay, I’m not gonna repeat what I think about leo. But I just hope that someday you meet a man who’s worthy of you.

Craig: Me too. Here’s hoping.

Chloe: And despite all the drama and the fighting, I was really glad to have you back. And I’m gonna miss you.

Craig: Aw, honey.

[Both sniffling] I’m gonna miss you too. No man has ever had a better daughter. I love you, sweetie. I love you.

Chloe: I love you too.

Brady: I see that craig has sent you packing.

Sonny: Yeah, with your tail between your legs.

Leo: Yes. Craig and I are done. But I’m not going anywhere. This may have started as a scam, but it became very personal to me. And you all cost me the man that I love. So remember, hell hath no fury like a gay man scorned. Because I’m coming for you. I’m coming for all of you. =

Steffy: God! Ah. I got to hold it together, I got to hold it together for the kids, I don’t want my– my parents to worry, but I’m not okay, I mean, how–how can I be okay? My husband is dead. Some monster shot us, stole our future, like I– liam, I hate this. I hate this.

Liam: Hey, steffy, look at me for a second? I know that you feel like you have to be strong for everybody else, all the time, and it’s not true. Right now, it’s our turn to be strong for you, and we are going to get through this, we’re going to get through this together. I’m going to be there for you and the kids. Okay?

Steffy: Thank you.

Liam: Yeah, okay.

Steffy: Thank you.

Brooke: Honey, don’t listen to thomas. He’s trying to make you question liam and the strength of your marriage.

Hope: I won’t do that.

Brooke: Good.

Hope: But I can still not like that he spent the night at steffy’S.

Quinn: It’s not easy, rebuilding trust in a marriage once you’ve lost it.

Carter: And you and eric made a commitment to do that?

Quinn: Yeah, we’re trying, but I don’t know, it’s taking time. I– I love eric, and I’m, I’m so happy to be married to him, I just wish he was around more often, you know?

Carter: Mm.

Quinn: I’m glad he’s enjoying pickleball at the club, at least he’s being more active.

[ Eric sighing ]

Donna: Why do you always look at me like that?

Eric: I can stop.

Donna: No. Never.

Eric: It’s a good thing, because I don’t think I ever could. Not the way you make me feel.

Donna: Don’t you dare say I make you feel younger.

Eric: You make me feel lighter, that’s for sure.

Donna: Same.

Eric: Even though I’m a married man?

Quinn: I’m not feeling neglected.

Carter: I know.

Quinn: Just– I get that eric is busy, okay? He loves his work, he loves pickleball, clearly. I mean, it energizes him, so I’m not complaining, I just– I miss spending time with him, you know? I miss his arms around me. I used to be the thing that excited him the most and now, now I’m not so sure.

Donna: Eric, I– I didn’t think I’d ever see you like this ever again, I mean all those years sitting behind a desk, wanting to tell you how I felt, knowing I could make you happy like this.

Eric: I’m so happy. You make me so happy, happier than I think I have a right to be.

Donna: Eric, everybody has a right to feel joy, I mean that’s what life is all about, just– finding something to look forward to, something or– someone to excite us, that’s what you’ve always been for me. Now, I can finally be that for you too.

Hope: Don’t get me wrong, I understand why liam felt he had to spend the night, kelly is vulnerable right now, and she was scared, she needed her daddy, liam, I mean– he can’t say no to that.

Brooke: Apparently he can’t say no to steffy either.

Hope: Mom, what steffy and her family are going through right now, I mean, it’s tragic, and liam is, I’m sure it’s comforting to have him there, especially for kelly.

Brooke: Yes, yeah, I mean it’s sweet and it’s nice, to a point, but beth needs him too.

Liam: I’m not going to lie, it’s going to be tough, but– then again, so are you.

Steffy: Yeah, real tough.

Liam: Hey, steffy, can I tell you a secret? Being tough, being strong, it’s not the same as being a robot. Cry, grieve, th– that is exactly what you are supposed to be doing right now, and you don’t need to hide it from anyone, especially not me, I mean, look at me, I cry all the time.

Ridge: Hey guys, sorry.

Steffy: It’s fine, you guys don’t have to apologize.

Taylor: I snuck out with your dad and went to get you some breakfast.

Liam: Ah, that’s nice, I–i actually about to take off, so.

Ridge: Oh.

Taylor: Thanks for staying the night, liam.

Liam: Yeah.

Steffy: It meant a lot to kelly to have her daddy here.

Taylor: Yeah, kelly’s going to need her dad like she’s never needed him before. I sense that steffy feels the same way. Want your clothes to smell freshly

Quinn: I like that we can still talk and be open with each other.

Carter: Me too.

Quinn: Our relationship has changed but our friendship hasn’T.

Carter: Because what we had was more than just physical.

Quinn: Yeah, it was. It was more than that, I mean I– I turned to you because, because I wanted to be understood, and appreciated. You know, I never had to play a part with you, I could always just be myself.

Carter: That’s good.

Quinn: You showed me what I deserve, you know, and what I have to offer.

Carter: Eric knew it too, he just– he didn’t express it.

Quinn: That’s always going to amaze me, you know? The most eloquent man I have ever met in my entire life couldn’t express his feelings to me. It’s one of the things I– I love most about eric is, the beautiful things that he says to me.

Carter: You’re lucky to have each other. I’m really glad that you were able to find that again.

Donna: Hey, where’d you go?

Eric: I’m here.

Donna: I know you. No, I know this look.

Eric: Oh you do, do you?

Donna: Mm hm.

Eric: Look, if– if, if quinn knew what was going on with us she’d be devastated, and I– look, I care about her.

Donna: You just have the biggest, most generous heart, and you just– you want to share it with everyone, don’t you? I can’t be jealous of that, as long as you are sharing this part with me, okay?

Eric: Okay.

[ Laughter ]

Liam: Hi, hey guys, hi brooke.

Hope: How, um, how’s steffy?

Liam: Um, I mean, you know, physically she’s improving, it’s just, you know, with– with finn gone, and her worrying about the kids, it’s all sort of just weighing on her, still and–

Brooke: Well she has a huge support system helping her, her family, now that she’s home from the hospital, you can put your focus elsewhere. Back here, home, with hope and beth, and douglas, they need you too, liam. I brought in ensure max protein,

Quinn: Eric and I have been completely in sync for so long, I thought it would last forever.

Carter: You’re trying to get back to that.

Quinn: Yeah, we are, but it– it’s taking effort and– and that’s not something that I’m used to. Eric and I, we’ve never had to work at our relationship. It was always easy. But now, not so much. Pbut, I need to be patient and positive, two things I am not very good at. But eric is worth it. Our marriage is worth it, I just– I just have to have complete faith in eric’s love and commitment to me.

Donna: I don’t want to put you on the spot.

Eric: You don’T. Donna, what we share is exactly what I need. You bring a positivity to my life, you bring such light, it’s exactly what I need. Positivity, caring, and– and you make me laugh.

Donna: Yeah?

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: Well, there is nothing I enjoy more than putting a smile on this beautiful face.

Eric: Yeah?

Donna: Yeah, because you are, and always will be, the great love of my life.

Hope: Mom, liam spent the night at steffy’s because kelly needed him.

Liam: And I really did, really did mean to call, I just– yeah?

Hope: I get that you want to help steffy, we all do, and she has this amazing support network there for her, all these people who want to help her.

Liam: Yeah, yeah.

Hope: So, I mean, if– if you ever want kelly spend the night here, we could also do that.

Liam: Oh yeah, uh, no, definitely, and I would, it’s just that right now I feel like kelly really needs to be with her mom.

Hope: Okay. Okay, so– so what does that mean for you, like how– how much time do you want to spend over there?

Liam: I don’t know, I– I don’t know, I mean– I guess I– I guess I’ll just have to see how things play out, I mean ridge and taylor are there, and she loves them, so that– that’s good, you know?

Brooke: How is ridge?

Liam: Uh, he’s– I mean, he’s worried, he’s worried about steffy and the kids, but it’s ridge, you know, he’s not going to show that. I want to be sensitive, I– you might not want to hear this, but I think as a family, they are really pulling together.

Brooke: Yeah, I mean, that doesn’t really surprise me. Ridge wants to do everything he can for his daughter, so– it just breaks my heart, knowing that he’s not coming home.

Ridge: We’re all here, whatever you need.

Steffy: I’m just so tired.

Taylor: I know, baby. I know. Why don’t you go lie down okay? Get some rest, let your father and I take care of things.

Ridge: Slow down. Okay? It’s going to be okay. She’s going to be alright.

Taylor: I’m just glad we’re doing this together. Showing our kids that they can rely on their parents.

Ridge: And that their parents can rely on each other.

Carter: Have you been as clear with your feelings to eric as you’ve been with me? He might not spend so much time away if he knew how much you missed him. I mean, if I was in his shoes, I’d think about taking a sabbatical, or at least a very long, romantic vacation.

Quinn: Says the man who once offered to run away with me.

Carter: Yeah. Heh. I’m grateful for everything that we experienced, quinn, but I knew we couldn’t keep sneaking around.

Quinn: No, it’s not the man you are.

Carter: It’s not the relationship I wanted to have with you. If I get involved with anybody, they can’t be involved with anyone else, I can’t cross that line again.

Quinn: Ugh, neither will I. Eric never has to worry about that. I will be as faithful to him as he has always been to me.

Donna: I just want to treasure every little moment that I have with my honeybear.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Why won’t you come home, ridge?

Ridge: You know, I– can’t imagine going through any of this without you by my side.

Taylor: I hate, I hate that I haven’t been here, I hate that I was gone for such a long time. I– I’ve missed out on so much, I should have been here. I should have been here when– I missed out on finn, I missed out on so many things, I–

Ridge: Well, you’re here now, and doc, I couldn’t be any more grateful.

Taylor: Doc… you say that and it reminds of- reminds me of happier times, but I don’t think we’re going to see those for a while, ridge, I am so worried. Steffy can’t remember anything, she doesn’t know what happened that night. The– the events of that night are gonna– are gonna be so hard to cope with, when she can’t even remember what happened. Hayes is going to grow up without a father, and– and kelly, even though she tries to pretend she’s okay, she’s not, and she’s scared.

Ridge: Okay. Okay, look at me, look at me. We have to focus and we have to find a way to get our family through this. Protect our daughter, make sure she’s okay.

Taylor: She’s going to struggle.

Ridge: Yeah, she is.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: But she has your strength, and she has you. You’re going to be here. So am I.

Taylor: Good, because I need you to be.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Leo goes to see Craig in his room and tells him that all his life, he’s always wanted something but now he only wants him.

Nancy walks through the town square, on the phone with Bonnie about her visit with Craig and how they realized after everything, they are still friends. Nancy starts to complain about Clyde not taking her on their date, but then she runs in to Clyde.

In the interrogation room, Jack questions what Jennifer is talking about. Abigail guesses that Gwen didn’t tell Jack what she told him before Rafe brought her in to the station. Abigail asks if Gwen wants to tell him or if she should. Abigail complains that Gwen never wants to admit to doing anything until she’s been caught. Jack questions what she’s talking about. Abigail declares that this is about Grandma Laura’s death not being an accident as Gwen told her that she killed Laura on purpose. Jack asks Gwen if it’s true. Gwen claims of course it’s not and that Abigail must have misheard what she said. Abigail assures that she heard it very clearly and repeats the exact words that Gwen said to her. Gwen asks if last night wasn’t enough fun for Abigail and if she woke up wanting to hurt her more. Jennifer argues that Gwen is not the victim here, but her mother was one of Gwen’s victims. Jack questions why Abigail didn’t say anything last night. Abigail felt Jack had been through enough. Jennifer recalls seeing Gwen whisper something to Abigail before Rafe took her away. Gwen remarks that she has a problem with someone else having the last word. Jack asks why Abigail chose to tell him now. Jennifer argues that she told Abigail that she had to because Jack has to know that they are now talking about murder. Jack turns to Gwen and asks if she killed Laura.

Nancy yells at Clyde as she hangs up with Bonnie and starts to walk away but Clyde tells her to wait. Nancy argues that she waited all day yesterday for him to call like he said he would but he never did. Clyde tells her that there’s a reason for that and informs her that his son Ben went missing. Nancy asks if he’s okay and if they found him. Clyde reveals that he was chained up in the DiMera Crypt. Nancy asks if Stefano came back from the dead again. Clyde tells her it was the Devil and he knows it sounds crazy but they found Ben and have no idea where his wife is because the Devil has kidnapped her. Nancy mocks him and says if he doesn’t want to date her, he doesn’t have to use old tales from the crypt. Clyde swears on his grandson that he’s telling the truth and shows Nancy his phone as proof.

Sonny shows Chad the article that Leo put in the Intruder about Chad as a drag queen. Chad starts saying he’s going to kill Leo. Sonny tries to calm him down and jokes with Chad. Chad reminds Sonny that all of his humiliation is Sonny’s fault. Sonny argues that a picture of Chad in drag is no big deal. Chad explains that it’s the story and reads how Leo wrote that he and Chad ended up in bed together, making it sound like Chad was obsessed with him.

Leo tells Craig that he wants him back, he wants him to forgive him, and he wants him to marry him. Craig responds that he’s sorry but Leo already has a husband. Leo insists that it was only to help Darius get a green card. Craig asks why he would care now. Leo assures him that he doesn’t love any other man but Craig.

Nancy asks Clyde expecting her to believe him with a picture of Chad in drag. Clyde realizes he showed the wrong story and then shows her the article about Ben being rescued and his pregnant wife now missing. Nancy then hugs Clyde and says he must be so worried. Clyde apologizes about the dinner. Nancy understands now that he had so much on his mind. Clyde hoped he could make it up to her if she had the time to go to lunch. Nancy asks what about his son and daughter in law. Clyde says the police are looking for her and Ben would rather be alone right now. Clyde mentions that he would like nice company like her. Nancy agrees to lunch, so Clyde invites her to the Brady Pub and says she can tell him all about her ex-husband’s wedding.

Craig tells Leo that he heard him say “I love you” a million times, but since he was lying to him from the second they met, he doesn’t know why he should believe him now. Leo talks about rubbing Craig’s feet after a long shift at the hospital, trading his drinks, and playing with his hair as little ways he shows that he loves him. Leo declares that for the first time in his life, he admitted he did something wrong and he apologized. Leo is sorry that he lied to him, seduced him, and tried to marry him for his money. Leo adds that the one thing he is not sorry for is that he fell in love with him because their time together has been the best days of his life.

Gwen claims she’s telling the truth. Jennifer asks if she is giving Jack her word on that, then questions what her word is worth since no one here would believe anything she says. Gwen argues that she is answering Jack’s question. Jennifer reminds Gwen that they already talked about this and she swore to her that Laura’s death was an accident and not intentional, so she believed and accepted that. Jennifer asks if that was the truth or not back then. Gwen insists that she was telling her the truth that day that Laura’s death was an accident. Abigail repeats that isn’t what Gwen said to her at the wedding unless she misinterpreted her. Gwen confirms that Abigail heard what she wanted her to hear and she took it just the way she wanted her to. Abigail asks why she would say something like that if it wasn’t true. Gwen asks if she can’t comprehend that she just wanted to hurt her. Gwen assures Jack that it was a lie. Gwen complains that Abigail said she would be her matron of honor and her sister, so she believed her, but instead Abigail used her wedding to kill any chance she had at being happy and to make sure she would lose Xander and Jack. Gwen adds that she was handcuffed, so she couldn’t punch her, so instead she punched her with her words.

Chad continues complaining about Leo’s article, detailing how Chad showed up at his door begging for sex and that he was obsessed with him which Chad also blames Sonny for. Chad plans to call his lawyer to sue the Intruder and Leo for libel. Sonny asks if he’s sure he wants to do that.

Craig asks if Leo is trying to play him again. Leo assures he’s being perfectly straight with him. Craig goes over Leo saying he fell in love with him, but at first he was just another mark. Leo confirms that he originally planned to just marry him, divorce him, and take him for every penny he had. Leo admits he would’ve succeeded if not for Will, Sonny, Chad, Brady, and Chloe.

Nancy informs Clyde that Craig and Leo’s wedding didn’t go off without a hitch but maybe it did. Clyde looks forward to her explaining it to him over lunch. They start to walk off together but Chloe and Brady appear. Chloe questions what the hell Nancy is doing with Clyde. Nancy introduces Clyde to Chloe and Brady. Chloe reveals they know who he is. Nancy then reveals that they are about to go on their first date but Chloe says over her dead body.

Chad tells Sonny that he can either kill Leo or sue him. Sonny doesn’t think he wants to do that since in order to sue for libel, there has to be false statement reported as fact while technically everything in the article is true. Chad blames Sonny for pleading with him to do everything he did. Chad then blames himself for letting Sonny talk him in to it when he knew it’d be a horrible idea.

Leo tells Craig that no matter what was done to try and break them up, he was always one step ahead. Leo calls it kind of scary how much they have in common and how easy and fun it was to be with him. Craig asks if his money had nothing to do with that. Leo admits he liked his money too. Leo adds the pre-nup Chloe drew up was a stroke of genius that he did not anticipate and he first thought that it was game over and he had to walk away, but he signed it because when the choice was giving up everything they had worked for, he didn’t care about losing any of it or that Darius would be furious, he only cared about losing Craig. Leo declares that now the million dollar question is does Craig believe him. Leo thinks that he does but says he doesn’t have to answer. Leo instead asks Craig if he can forgive him and if they can start over.

Abigail asks why they should believe Gwen after all the horrible things that she’s done to their family as it’s hardly a stretch to think she could have killed Laura. Abigail brings up Gwen drugging her and Sarah. Jack reveals that there is reason for hope since Gwen told Xander where he could get the antidote, so she’s doing what she can to undo the harm. Abigail laughs it off and says Gwen’s back is against the wall so she’s actually having to pay for what she has done. Abigail hopes Xander and Maggie test whatever she led them to. Abigail worries that Gwen would do it again since she’s made it clear that anyone who is loved by anyone that she thinks is supposed to love her, is fair game. Abigail thinks Gwen would be willing to hurt Sarah now more than ever. Gwen declares that Abigail has said her piece so she’d like a moment alone with her father now. Jennifer tells Jack that she will support any decision that he makes right now, but she will never trust Gwen to be apart of their family ever again. Jennifer and Abigail then exit the room. Gwen brings up Jack saying at the wedding that he was done with her and now there’s even more damning evidence, so she guesses that nothing will change his mind about her. Jack responds that she will always be his daughter. Jack brings up how Laura sending Gwen’s mother away, making her think that Jack turned his back on her as well but he never chose to do that. Gwen asks if they can move past this. Jack repeats that he will always be his father, but after what she did to Sarah and Abigail, he honestly doesn’t know what kind of a family they could ever be. Jack then walks out of the room, leaving Gwen in tears.

Nancy tells Chloe that she knows it’s hard to see her moving on from her father. Chloe doesn’t care that she’s dating, it’s who she’s dating, since Clyde just got out of prison. Nancy reveals that Clyde told her that and says that men can change. Nancy states that Clyde says he’s changed, so she believes him. Nancy and Clyde then walk off together. Chloe complains to Brady that she just spent months trying to stop one parent from dating the wrong person and now she has to do it with the other parent. Brady tells her that he’ll be here for her through this too. Chloe thanks him and says at least she knows she’s dating the right person as they kiss.

Chad tells Sonny that if he can’t sue Leo, he’ll give his own interview. Sonny questions Chad sinking to Leo’s level. Chad says Leo hit below the belt, so it’s time to return the favor. Sonny thinks Chad should just let it go since stories like this fizzle out on their own while he would just be adding fuel to the fire. Chad says that’s easy for him to say since he’s not even mentioned in the article. Sonny is surprised and looks it over, realizing Chad is right. Chad questions why Leo didn’t come after him and asks if Leo was right that it was why Sonny didn’t come to the wedding. Sonny reminds Chad that Leo said he was coming after everyone who came between he and Craig, so he has a sickening feeling that Chad is just first on the list.

Craig believes that Leo loves him and says part of him wants to forgive him, take him in his arms, and never let him go but he doesn’t trust him and trust matters to him. Craig says he took a huge leap of faith to be with him as he had to stop living a lie. Leo calls that a good thing. Craig notes that in the process, he tore apart his family and hurt the only woman he ever loved, just to love Leo. Leo asks if that means he’s going back to Nancy. Craig says no because he is gay and he will never hide that again but he and Leo are done. Craig informs Leo that he left his stuff downstairs. Leo gets tears in his eyes as he asks if Craig hates him. Craig says he does not, but he cannot be with him. Craig adds that because of Leo, he can now be himself. Craig wishes him luck and kisses him on the cheek. Craig states that with all that happened, he does not regret loving Leo. Leo then exits the room.

Brady finds Sonny in the town square and tells him that he just saw the article where Leo “outed” Chad. Sonny responds that he was there when Chad saw it and it was not pretty. Brady says the picture was kind of funny but says the article was full of lies that were calculated and hurt. Sonny points out that Leo didn’t just go after Chad but after his marriage and his family. Brady finds it odd and wonders why Leo didn’t go after him and Chloe or Sonny. Leo then appears and tells them not to worry, warning Sonny that he is next and when he’s done, Brady and Chloe will be next.

Chloe goes to Craig’s room and says she got his text but she was starting to think he never wanted to see her again. Craig assures that was never going to happen. Chloe says last night was awful and apologizes. Craig says there’s no need as he and Leo have said their goodbyes. Chloe repeats that she’s sorry. Craig says it’s okay and he was upset last night, but after having time to think, he realized that everything Chloe did, she had reason for. Craig understands Chloe did everything because she loves him. Chloe swears that’s why she did and says she has experience in putting her life back together if he needs help. Chloe asks if he wants to eat. Craig tells her that after talking to Leo, he’s made a few decisions. Craig then announces that he’s leaving Salem and going back to New York.

Nancy and Chloe sit together in the Brady Pub for their date. Clyde tells Nancy that he doesn’t know her very well, but what he does know, he likes a lot. Nancy says this is the beginning of their first date but feels that sounded like a kiss off. Clyde calls it an offering for an easy way out since he knows what his son means to him so he doesn’t want to come between Nancy and her daughter. Clyde tells Nancy that if she wants to back out now, that’s cool with him.

Jennifer goes home and looks at a photo of her and her mom on the mantle. Jack comes in behind her and hugs her.

Abigail returns to the interrogation room and tells Gwen that Jack left, so it’s just them and she wants the truth. Abigail asks Gwen if she did or did not kill her grandmother.

Jennifer talks about the arrogance of what Laura did and how Gwen had to pay for it, so she can understand why Gwen would want her dead. Jack informs Jennifer that after she left, Gwen swore to him that she didn’t kill Laura and that she was telling the truth that she was just trying to hurt Abigail. Jack calls that still horrifying since she hurt Abigail enough already. Jennifer wonders which of the two scenarios are the truth. Jack says he doesn’t know.

Abigail asks if Gwen was lying to Jennifer when she said she didn’t kill Laura or was she lying to her when she said she did. Gwen remarks that not knowing is killing Abigail and knowing that, she will never give her an answer. Gwen tells Abigail that she will never tell her what happened to her grandma, so she will never know. Gwen remarks that payback’s a bitch.

Chad is on the phone at home, arguing that his wife is not leaving him for another woman and he did not have a threesome with two men. Chad says he doesn’t know where they get their information, but threatens to make them pay if they print this garbage. Chad hangs up and then gets another call, annoying him further.

Nancy tells Clyde that she loves her daughter but she’s a grown woman and her days of pleasing other people are over. Nancy feels that after what she’s been through the last couple months, she deserves her happy ending.

Chloe asks Craig about his job. Craig reveals that he already gave Seth Burns his resignation as he didn’t feel good about taking the job from Kayla and the hospital will run much better with her in charge. Chloe disagrees and asks if there is no changing his mind. Craig says no, but he’s glad she came over so he could say goodbye before he left. Craig tells her that he’s sorry for how much he hurt her and Nancy. Chloe cries that all she ever wanted was for him to be happy and she knows he would never be happy not being who he really is. Chloe adds that she won’t repeat what she thinks about Leo, but she hopes someday Craig meets a man who is worthy of him. Craig hopes so too. Chloe says despite all the drama and fighting, she was really glad to have him back and she’s going to miss him. Craig and Chloe hug as they cry. Craig declares that no man has ever had a better daughter and he loves her.

Brady and Sonny notice Leo has his bags packed and comments that Craig sent him packing. Leo confirms that he and Craig are done, but he’s not going anywhere. Leo declares that this may have started as a scam, but it became very personal to him, and they all cost him the man he loves. Leo remarks that hell hath no fury like a gay man scorned, because he’s coming for all of them.

Update written by Dustin

Maxie explained that she wanted to see Austin two nights in a row but that she didn’t want to ask Mac and Felicia to babysit again. Maxie said that being a parent to three kids didn’t leave her with much free time. Austin said that it seemed that Maxie was trying to convince herself more than anyone else. Maxie denied that she had wanted to push Austin away and recalled everything she had been through in the past year with Peter. Still, Maxie conceded that Austin had a valid point, and she said that a new relationship was the last thing she needed. Austin offered for he and Maxie to go back to being friends. “To hell with that,” Maxie said, and she flung her arms around Austin for a long kiss.

As they kissed, Maxie and Austin were interrupted by Georgie, who was upset to find Austin at the apartment. Austin said it was time for him to leave. Maxie walked Austin to the door and told him goodnight as Georgie looked on with disapproval.

At the Metro Court, Lucy entered Martin’s room as the two planned a steamy night of romance. Afterwards, Lucy told Martin that she had missed him. Lucy said the best part about Martin’s return and the launch of Deception as a public company was that she and Martin could take their relationship public. Lucy encouraged Martin to dump Valentin as Martin’s only client, but Martin was hesitant. Lucy asked if Martin had a problem with going public with their relationship. Martin denied that he wanted to keep their affair hidden, but he expressed his desire to remain financially independent in lieu of Lucy’s recent windfall with Deception. Martin then said he was tired of kowtowing to Valentin. “I can always find another client. I just don’t think I can find another you,” Martin said.

Later, Lucy and Martin stepped off the elevator and encountered Valentin. Martin boasted that he and Lucy were indeed an item and assured Valentin that Martin’s clients were never the subject of “pillow talk.” Martin added that he would be sorry to see Valentin go as a client if Valentin felt uncomfortable watching his lawyer and close business associate become involved.

Valentin told Martin that Martin and Lucy made a happy couple, and Valentin wished them all the best. When Martin asked if that meant Valentin was still his client, Valentin assured Martin that he was. Valentin told Lucy that she would have his blessing as long as Valentin could count on Lucy’s support at ELQ. Lucy assured Valentin that she’d been happy with his work with the company and that she had no plans to withdraw her support. Valentin bid them a good evening and left.

In Elizabeth’s room at Metro Court, Elizabeth and Finn kissed on the sofa before Elizabeth’s phone rang. Afterward, Finn started to leave to go to his room next door. Elizabeth gave Finn a key in case she called and needed his help. Finn told Elizabeth to make sure she latched the door to her room after he left. Just as Finn left, Elizabeth’s phone rang again. Elizabeth answered but forgot to latch the door.

Later, Elizabeth showered and was startled to discover that the room had been trashed and that someone had ripped open the couch pillows and cut through the furniture in her room. Elizabeth yelled for Finn, who rushed in. Rory and the police arrived shortly after Finn to take Elizabeth’s statement and to look for clues. Elizabeth admitted that she’d forgotten to latch the door.

Elizabeth and Finn went to the dining room area of the Metro Court and ran into Lucy. Lucy invited Elizabeth and Finn to join her and Martin. Elizabeth remembered that she’d left her phone in the room, and Finn offered to get it. When Finn left, Lucy asked what Elizabeth would do next. Elizabeth told Lucy that she felt the police might be “out of their depth on this case.” Elizabeth then asked Lucy for the name of the medium she had mentioned.

Back in Elizabeth’s room, Rory told Finn that Elizabeth’s room was out of the security cameras’ range but confirmed that no one had entered or exited the elevator on the floor of the room. Rory told Finn that the police were searching the hotel’s vacant rooms because the intruder could have hidden in one of them. Finn told Rory that there had to be something the police had missed because it was impossible to break into someone’s room, vanish, and leave no evidence.

At the Savoy, Nina invited Sonny to join her table. When Nina learned that Sonny hadn’t spoken to Michael, she told Sonny that Harmony had been involved in a terrible accident and was in the ICU. Nina encouraged Sonny to join Michael at the hospital, but Sonny told Nina that he wouldn’t be welcomed there.

Sonny recalled his and Michael’s awful fight and said that things had been said that couldn’t be forgotten or forgiven. Sonny expressed his disbelief that someone fighting for their life that was so close to Michael and Willow didn’t warrant a phone call, but Sonny reasoned that it was no longer his place to check in on Michael. Nina urged Sonny to keep the door open to reconciliation.

Sonny told Nina that he’d felt great since he’d quit drinking. When all the patrons at the Savoy had gone home, Sonny told Nina to dance with him. Sonny and Nina danced passionately and intensely and held each other close. After Sonny and Nina danced, Neka and a co-worker applauded. Sonny and Nina thanked each other for the dance and bade each other goodnight. Both stared longingly at each other before Nina left.

At the hospital, T.J. gave Willow, Michael, and Carly the news that Harmony was still in critical condition. T.J. cautioned Willow about the importance of keeping Harmony calm.

In the waiting room, Michael brought Carly orange juice and a snack. Michael confessed that he felt Willow would be off without Harmony and said that it was hard whenever a parent betrayed their children’s love. Carly quickly surmised that Michael was referring to Sonny and she told Michael that she wanted him to have a relationship with his father. Michael said that he didn’t want anything from Sonny, his money, his advice or his support.

In Harmony’s room, Willow told Harmony to keep fighting and said that they could get through whatever had happened that night. Harmony opened her eyes. “Willow, I’m so, so sorry,” Harmony managed to say through her strained voice. Harmony told Willow that she had loved being Willow’s mom, and she said she had to tell Willow something. Harmony then became anxious, and Willow had to leave the room.

Michael and Carly joined Willow outside Harmony’s room, where Willow begged Carly to say whatever Carly had been about to tell Willow earlier in the night. Carly deferred and told Willow that she needed to focus on Harmony. T.J. joined them and informed them that Harmony had only needed a sedative for the time being.

Carly encouraged Willow to go for a walk with Michael and get some fresh air. Not long after they left, Harmony awoke and motioned for Carly to join her in her room. Inside, Carly told Harmony that Willow knew that Harmony had tried to kill Carly and Alexis, but Carly added that Willow didn’t know why. Carly then told Harmony that she’d held back for Willow’s sake.

Harmony tried to speak but couldn’t get the words out. Carly said she would find someone to help Harmony communicate.

“Nina,” Harmony muttered to a confused Carly.

Young & The Restless Transcript

Y&R logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Diane: I’d ask how you got in here, but that’s just who you are, isn’t it? Would you like a drink?

Victor: This is not a social visit.

Diane: Of course not. Hmm. I’ve been expecting you. I’m sure that as soon as she spoke with me, nikki ran write to you — “guess what.” I’m surprised it took you this long to show up. Maybe you’re slowing down a bit.

Victor: I’m as fast as I’ve always been. How about you? How fast would you get out of genoa city? Your visit here will be a short one.

Mariah: Kyle?

Kyle: Hey, mariah.

Mariah: Hi! I had no idea that you were home from milan. How long are you here for? Can I join you? I’m so glad you’re here because we have so much to catch up on.

Sally: Why is sneaking away to a hotel in the middle of the day so sexy?

Adam: Well, I think it is the juxtaposition of normal, mundane midday tasks with something amazing.

Sally: Mm-hmm, that was more of a rhetorical question, but thank you.

[ Chuckles ]

Adam: But I will say getting a suite in phyllis’ hotel without her knowing makes it extra hot.

Sally: Look at us, two people who just admitted to each other that we are falling in love, having a little romantic rendezvous. Wait. Are we becoming a couple?

Adam: I don’t know, I wasn’t expecting any of this.

Sally: Me neither. We made such an effort to keep things professional, but this is definitely not professional.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, all those declarations that nothing is going on between us. Although I will say that I sold that a little more than you did.

Sally: Not true. All of my assurances to chloe and to chelsea and even you were legit, because I did not want to ruin my chances at newman fashion or newman media.

Adam: And now newman/locke.

Sally: Actually, what was most important to me was not ruining my chances with what i really wanted.

Adam: And what is that?

Sally: You.

Billy: You’re up and around. That’s good to see.

Victoria: I’m walking, hooray.

Billy: Are you in pain?

Victoria: No, I — I am — I’m feeling okay. Guess I’m pretty lucky, all things considered.

Billy: Yeah. It’s tragic about rey.

Victoria: I wish I hadn’t been out there driving on that road. Maybe things would’ve turned out differently.

Billy: You can’t think that way, vick. It was an accident. It wasn’t your fault.

Victoria: Right. Many people have assured me of that.

Billy: Why were you out there on that road? That’s not your usual way home.

Victoria: I thought you said that you didn’t blame me, and now you’re asking me how I got myself into this predicament.

Billy: I’m not blaming you. I’m just trying to put the pieces together and understand what happened. Ashland was out there, but he wasn’t in the car with you. He was in his own car. Was he following you? Hi, I’m karen.

Diane: Threatening helpless women? That’s really not your style. Or is that you’ve become these days — a common thug?

Victor: Hmm. I would never threaten a helpless creature of any kind, you know? But when someone as venomous and potentially evil as you comes across my path, all bets are off.

Diane: Relax, I mean no harm.

Victor: Then pack your damn bag. Get out of town before they find out you’re here.

Diane: I know that most of the citizens of genoa city don’t care for me, and I’m sure they’ll be surprised to find out that I’m alive.

Victor: They won’t like to hear it.

Diane: Yeah, well, I didn’t expect a welcome home party. But I figure if I stick around long enough, eventually they’ll tolerate me.

Victor: Don’t hold your breath, okay?

Diane: Phyllis is putting up with me. I’m — I’m staying in her hotel.

Victor: She’s putting up with you because she’ll keep an eye on you this way.

Diane: Probably.

Victor: Mm. So enough with chit-chat.

Diane: Fine. I’m sure nikki filled you in on my metamorphosis.

Victor: It was a bunch of bull. You don’t transform into someone else after a few sessions of therapy.

Diane: I’m guessing that’ll be the consensus around town.

Victor: Right.

Diane: So only newmans are allowed to change.

Victor: What do you mean?

Diane: Oh, please. Nikki has become the pious poster child for sobriety and clean living. She’s traveled quite a distance from when you first met. And your son adam, he’s turned into this respectable family man, putting aside all those nasty tricks from his past.

Victor: My wife and my son evolved in what they are now after many years.

Diane: Victor, I have zero expectations from anyone in this town, including you. So you can keep your threats to yourself. I’m here for one reason only — to explain to my son why I did what I did all those years ago and ask for his forgiveness.

Kyle: You look great.

Mariah: That is so nice. And so true.

[ Both laugh ]

Kyle: I missed you.

Mariah: I missed you more.

Kyle: I’m just here on business. Dad needed me in genoa city.

Mariah: Oh, I didn’t hear anything about that at jabot.

Kyle: It was very short notice. I didn’t have time to tell anybody.

Mariah: Got it. So snowflake’s not with you? Is she, like, the mayor of milan now? Contessa?

Kyle: Summer is wonderful. She had to stay in italy to oversee marchetti’s new season launch. So it’s just me and harrison on this trip.

Mariah: Aww. A daddy-son trip — I love it. So how long are you staying?

Kyle: Not sure. It — it depends.

Mariah: Depends on what?

Kyle: Um, a couple things. A few issues to work out.

Mariah: Okay. Well, I hope those issues are very complicated and take a long time to resolve because tessa and I are getting married on may 13th. So please, please say that you will still be here. I mean, you were the first champion of our love, and the wedding wouldn’t be the same without you.

Adam: Mm. As much as I would love to stay here all day, we should get back to the office.

Sally: Do we have to?

Adam: There is so much at stake, and things could change any minute, so the answer is yes.

Sally: Okay. But before we go, there’s something that I need to ask you before we get dressed and put on our work personas.

Adam: What is it?

Sally: How did it go with sharon? I know you went to see her to offer your condolences, but you never said what happened.

Adam: [ Sighs ] It, um…it was hard.

Sally: Look, I don’t want to pry, okay? So if you don’t want to talk about it…

Adam: No, I’m okay. I just… sharon’s in a lot of pain. She has a lot of anger and grief, and it’s all very raw. Rey was a good man. He was good to her, so it’s a — it’s a shock and she’s struggling.

Sally: Are you glad you went?

Adam: Yeah. Yeah, she has a lot of people around to help her — she has nick and her kids — but she did say that I was the first person that she really broke down in front of. I pushed her, I told her that she could be herself around me, but she was trying to keep a lid on it, but the emotions just came pouring out. You don’t really want to hear this, do you?

Victoria: I really don’t want to get into it anymore. I wish that it had never happened. I don’t want to relive the accident or what led up to it.

Billy: Okay. I got to say, you make the cane look cool.

Victoria: I’m not afraid to whack you with it if I need to.

Billy: You know, it feels like you’re doing your best to avoid me ever since we had that conversation about ashland’s cancer scam. Do you regret being vulnerable with me?

Victoria: I regret most of my conversations with you.

Billy: Geez, I hope that’s not true. I really liked being there for you. It’s only fair with the amount of times you were there for me over the years.

Victoria: It’s not a contest, billy.

Billy: No, I know that, but it felt good that you were able to confide in me. Because you can. You know that, right?

Victoria: Yes, I do.

Billy: Can I ask you one more question?

[ Sighs ] Is ashland locke still in your life?

Kyle: I will do everything in my power to be here for your wedding. I’m so happy for you and tessa. I didn’t realize you had set a date.

Mariah: Oh, yeah, it’s coming together pretty quickly. It’s why you haven’t gotten a save-the-date e-mail yet. Yeah, we’ve had some — some complications.

Kyle: You mean rey’s death. I’m so sorry to hear about that. I heard from lola. She’s devastated.

Mariah: I know. She loved her brother so much.

Kyle: How are you doing?

Mariah: Um…I’m in shock. And I miss him. But I’m mostly concerned for my mom. You know, we wanted to push the wedding date back, but she wouldn’t let us. I think planning it brings her joy, and I certainly want her to have that.

Kyle: When your life turns upside down, you need touchstones and to have a purpose.

Mariah: Yeah. We want the wedding to be meaningful and symbolic, so we asked nick and my mom to walk us down the aisle.

Kyle: Those are perfect choices.

Mariah: And we were also thinking about who else we would like standing up there with us.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ] I see where you’re going with this.

Mariah: Are you interested?

Kyle: I would be honored to be your man of honor.

Mariah: Oh, um…sorry, not so fast. We had a different role in mind for you.

Kyle: Um…I didn’t mean to assume.

Mariah: No, no, no, we have a more important role in mind for you. How would you feel about officiating our wedding?

Victor: Kyle is now a member of the newman fold, alright?

Diane: Because he married your granddaughter.

Victor: And that means he’ll be accorded the security of a newman.

Diane: Whatever that means.

Victor: That means I have his back.

Diane: I just got back from reuniting with kyle. A meeting that jack helped arrange.

Victor: Really? That was a huge mistake on jack’s part.

Diane: No, I don’t think so. I had a positive first conversation with kyle. He’s married and in love, and I’m thrilled for him. And I promise I’m not going to do anything to interfere or make him upset in any way.

Victor: You’re delusional if you think you’d come back to town here and bring people peace and happiness. Especially not to your son kyle, whom you abandoned.

Diane: Victor, I mean no harm. I only want what’s best for kyle.

Victor: If that is the case, you’d get your behind on a bus, get the hell out of town. There’s one good thing. You know who I am and you know what I’m capable of. And it’s far more than sneaking into your hotel suite.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]

Victoria: I am not sharing any details about what happened between ashland and me.

Billy: I don’t need details. Maybe just some broad strokes.

Victoria: Alright. Ashland is leaving newman/locke and we are having our marriage annulled.

Billy: Well, that is a relief. I hope that means that you are finally believing the truth about him and that ashland is leaving town.

Victoria: I don’t know. I haven’t — I haven’t talked to him.

Billy: You haven’t talked to him since the accident?

Victoria: Briefly.

Billy: How briefly?

Victoria: Billy, I don’t see how this is any of your concern.

Billy: Look, I’m sure this is very conflicting for you. I mean, he saved your life, but that does not absolve him of his many crimes, and I — I just hope that he still doesn’t have a hold over you.

Victoria: I wish you would stop trying to psychoanalyze me.

Billy: Okay. I apologize.

Victoria: I know the only reason you’re doing this is so that you can say “I told you so.” I know — I know that I made a mistake with ashland, and I know you tried to warn me and I — i should’ve listened to you and to nicholas instead of dismissing your concerns. But the past is the past and it can’t be undone. The only thing that I can do right now is move forward, and that’s exactly what I intend to do.

[ Sighs ]

Lily: Victoria, hi.

Victoria: Hi, lily.

Lily: I’m really sorry to hear about the accident, and i hope that you’re feeling better.

Victoria: Well, you can ask billy about it because he seems to know everything.

Lily: What was that about? No matter who you are,

Billy: I think victoria is a little sensitive at the moment.

Lily: Well, what did you say to her?

Billy: I didn’t say anything bad, I really didn’T. I was simply showing concern for the mother of my children, because the truth is she could’ve been killed in that car accident.

Lily: Yeah, I understand that, but clearly she didn’t want to hear what you had to say.

Billy: No, then i inadvertently hit a nerve.

Lily: How?

Billy: I brought up ashland, and she got a little sensitive.

Lily: Well, she probably thinks it’s none of your business.

Billy: Yeah, that’s what she said.

Lily: I’m sure she doesn’t want you looking for ways to blame ashland.

Billy: Well, it’s so easy because he’s a criminal. And the truth is I feel like this whole situation is going to affect her judgment.

Lily: She’s still the same smart, savvy woman she’s been.

Billy: I know that.

Lily: I mean, is this a pattern with you, where you feel like you have to save the women in your life? Is that gonna happen with us? Are you gonna think that I can’t solve my own problems and you’re gonna interfere, whether I want you to or not?

Sally: Of course I want to hear about sharon. That’s why I asked. I want you to feel like you can tell me anything. Openness is the basis of our relationship. It’s why I told you about my past and the scam with the terminal illness, and I hope it’s why you told me about yours. We have baggage. But not with each other, and i want to keep it that way.

Adam: I concur.

Sally: So I’m glad that you went to see sharon. And I know that it can be hard helping someone through their grief, so I’m here if you need to talk.

Adam: Well, thank you.

Sally: And just so you know, I’m not jealous of sharon. Or chelsea. Might sound cocky, but I am pretty confident in our relationship.

Adam: Well, that is good to hear. And it’s different for me.

Sally: In what way?

Adam: At various times, I’ve been married, I’ve been obsessed and destructive and detached. But this — this is something else. Maybe because it began slowly. But it feels so right.

Sally: Very right. And you don’t feel guilty.

Adam: What do you mean?

Sally: Well, sharon is suffering and alone. And we’re happy. And dare I say it again — falling in love.

Adam: If anything, seeing sharon made me realize we might be taking this too slowly. And that may be the reason why i finally confessed that I’m falling in love with you, too. I mean, why waste time worrying about what other people think? Anything can happen. Life can change in an instant, so we need to grab every moment we can.

Sally: I couldn’t agree more.

[ Chuckles ] Mm. [ Chuckles ]

Victor: Adam, I’m in the office. You’re not here, but I need to talk to you, alright?

Nikki: There you are. I’ve been trying to reach victoria. Have you heard from her?

Victor: No.

Nikki: She’s not in her office, she’s not answering her calls or messages.

Victor: Well, why don’t i have someone look for her?

Nikki: No, that’s alright. I’m late for a meeting. I just can’t stand victoria not knowing.

Victoria: Not knowing what?

Nikki: Oh, I’m glad you’re here. We’ve been trying to reach you.

Victoria: I know. Look, I’m sorry I haven’t responded, but I’m just really not in the mood for any lectures about ashland. I’ve had enough of them for today.

Nikki: It’s not about that.

Victoria: Well, what is it then?

Nikki: Rey rosales.

Victoria: Mom, please, not right now.

Nikki: You are going to want to hear this. It’s about what caused the accident.

Victoria: Look, I don’t want to get into it. I really don’T. I have told chance everything that I can remember. I know everybody tells me that I’m not to blame, but then everybody else wants to hear more details, and it’s quite clearly my fault.

Victor: Will you kindly listen to your mother?

Nikki: The autopsy showed that rey had a heart attack. That’s what caused the accident and what caused his death.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Better skin from your body wash?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I’m relieved. I really feel terrible that that’s my first reaction, but I couldn’t stop blaming myself for rey’s death.

Nikki: Darling, it’s natural to feel relief. That’s why we wanted you to learn this news right away.

Victor: I hope this alleviates some of your guilt.

Victoria: Even though the accident was — was not my responsibility, I mean, it was still a tragedy and I was still involved. It’s gonna take me a little bit of time to put that behind me, i think.

Nikki: You’re right. But I hope this news helps. I wish I could stay longer and talk through this with you, but I have a meeting with the logistics team. I’ll call you later?

Victoria: Thank you, mom. The news did help. I just — I feel a little —

Nikki: Honey, you don’t have to explain. You’ve been through so much the last few weeks.

Victoria: I love you.

Nikki: I love you too.

Victoria: Okay. Well, I should get going, too. I came by looking for adam.

Victor: No, no, no, no. You and I need to…discuss something.

Victoria: And what’s that?

Victor: Adam’s position at newman/locke.

Victoria: Yes, that’s actually why I came by to talk to him. Do you know where he is?

Victor: Mnh-mnh. He’ll be here shortly.

Victoria: I came to tell him that his services as ceo are no longer needed.

Victor: I think that’s a mistake.

Victoria: Why? Why would you think that? Nothing has changed since this morning. I told you I’m ready to go back to work. We no longer need a temporary ceo.

Victor: [ Sighs ] Sweetheart, I admire and respect your desire to go back, but for heaven’s sake, you have a lot on your plate. Think of what you’ve gone through. Why not have adam be co-ceo?

Victoria: So we would just run the company together, adam and me?

Victor: Yes, adam and you. I think it’s time that the newmans show a united front, especially nowadays, you know?

Victoria: My answer is no. No, I don’t want and I don’t need adam in the mix. I was doing fine before ashland came along, and I will do fine now. I’ve accomplished a lot at newman, and we will be dropping the name “locke” as soon as possible. We’re gonna go back to the original name of newman enterprises.

Victor: I like that.

Victoria: I had a feeling you would.

Victor: But, sweetheart, we need to discuss adam’s position.

Victoria: There’s nothing to discuss. And if you’re going to force the issue, then you’re gonna have to make a choice — adam or me.

Billy: This is not a pattern. I never doubt your ability to handle any situation that you face. And I am very aware that the women in my life are smarter and more capable than I am. But that does not prevent me from being concerned about ashland locke.

Lily: I know that you don’t trust him.

Billy: I do not trust him, but it is past that at this point. I have a deep hatred for that man. He lied about having cancer. That must strike a chord with you.

Lily: Of course it does. It does, but I still don’t understand your need to interfere.

Billy: I don’t —

[ Sighs ] I — I’m advising victoria, okay? She can choose to listen to me or not. Victor is interfering. I’m not that bad.

Lily: Yeah, not yet.

Billy: Actually, victor and i may end up on the same side of this problem — doing anything we can to get ashland out of town.

Lily: What are you talking about?

Billy: Well, he’s still here. I mean, he was following her when that accident happened. He’s been kicked to the curb at newman/locke, and their marriage is being annulled, but yet, he’s still here. So to me, that means he’s up to something. Is he plotting revenge? I don’t know. But it’s ashland locke, so it’s not gonna be good.

Kyle: Officiating at your wedding, um…that’s a real honor, but I — I don’t know if I can say yes.

Mariah: It’s simple. You know, you can just get ordained online. I’ll even set you up.

Kyle: No, it’s not that.

Mariah: I mean, do you not want to do it?

Kyle: No, not at all, I would love to. It’s just, um…I’m — I’m dealing with some personal things right now, and I can’t commit to such an important role. I wouldn’t want to let you down.

Mariah: Well, you just said that you would do anything to be there, so what could possibly force you to let us down?

Kyle: Um…things come up.

Mariah: What is it? Is it something with you and summer? Oh, god, I hope not.

Kyle: No, no, no, we’re fine. We’re great, in fact.

Mariah: Look, I know that we haven’t talked a lot lately. You know, time zones and wedding planning — don’t even get me started on the adoption process. But you have always been somebody that I can count on. And I hope you feel the same way about me.

Kyle: You know that I do.

Mariah: So please tell me what’s going on, because it’s — it’s becoming increasingly obvious that something is wrong.

Kyle: Yeah, yeah, something is wrong, and…I’m still in shock. I’m not sure how I’m supposed to react.

Mariah: Kyle, what is going on?

Kyle: Can we go back to the house? This needs to be a very private conversation. I could really use your friendship right now. What are you recommending

Victor: I think you’re acting rashly. You haven’t thought this through.

Victoria: I don’t have to think it through. I know how I feel without having to do a deeper dive.

Victor: What happened to you lately has taken a toll on you, whether you like it or not. Two traumas — one, you find out that ashland locke bastard lied to you, is a total fraud. Number two, you almost got killed in an accident. What the hell are you talking about? You need time to process all this.

Victoria: I can handle it.

Victor: Why are you being so stubborn? Why don’t you let adam help you?

Victoria: My injuries are not that severe.

Victor: I’m not just talking about your physical maladies.

Victoria: As far as the emotional goes, yes, ashland hurt me, yes, he lied to me, but he’s out of my life now. End of story.

Victor: I happen to know that that son of a bitch has surreptitiously snuck into your office, playing on your emotions. I know he does. And he will continue to do so. And I’m not so sure if you’ve purged yourself of that bastard.

Victoria: Will you ever be able to give me full credit for being able to control my emotions? Your second guessing me is relentless, and I am done with it. If you choose adam, fine, he stays, but I go, and I will not look back.

Adam: Good to see you on your feet, victoria. Good for you. Gave us a real scare there.

Victoria: Thank you.

Adam: What did I miss?

Victoria: Dad will fill you in.

Victor: We have a problem, son.

Lily: Look, I despise what ashland did. And as a cancer survivor, i absolutely think that he should pay for the scam that he tried to pull. But we agreed that you were gonna let this go, because if you don’t, you’ll be fixated on it. And it’s gonna drive you crazy, and I do not want to watch you go down that same road again. So, please, I am asking you for the last time, please stop.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] There’s no easy way to say it, so I’ll just come out with it. My mom, she’S…alive.

Mariah: What?

Kyle: Diane is alive, and she’s here in genoa city.

Mariah: Okay. How? Why?

Kyle: She conspired to fake her death all those years ago to get a fresh start. She’s been living in los angeles rebuilding her life. She claims she’s changed.

Mariah: What is she doing in genoa city now?

Kyle: Trying to make amends.

Mariah: Amends?

[ Scoffs ] Amends — that’s, uh — that is —

Kyle: Insufficient?

Mariah: I mean, after all of your pain and all of those years, yes, absolutely yes.

Kyle: Yeah. She claims she was trying to protect me. She didn’t want to mess up my life.

Mariah: Thinking your mother is — is dead when she isn’t, there’s — there’s not much more messed up than that.

Kyle: I know, I know. She had a lot of explanations, and most of them were garbage, but some of them got to me. I mean, is it possible for someone to change that much?

Mariah: Uh…I don’t know. I would like to think so, obviously. I’m so sorry, kyle. I’m so sorry that this is happening to you. You don’t deserve it. And even if she has explanations, that doesn’t mean those are answers. And that’s what you need.

Kyle: After talking to her, I have a bunch more questions.

Mariah: So what does she want from you?

Kyle: Time to explain herself.

Mariah: With intention of a mother-son relationship? I mean, that’s a lot to ask.

Kyle: It is, which is why I’m drinking in the afternoon and i don’t know which way is up. New lash paradise mascara from l’oreal paris.

Adam: Let me guess — victoria has no interest in me staying on in a leadership role.

Victor: Let’s discuss that later, okay? Meanwhile, there’s something very urgent for us to discuss.

Adam: Well, what could possibly be more urgent than the future of newman?

Victor: Diane jenkins. She’s alive. She’s back in town.

Mariah: So what are you thinking? What do you want to do? How can I support you?

Kyle: I don’t know. My instinct is to say yes and welcome my mom back into my life. There are so many things i missed out on as a kid.

Mariah: I know. I get that. I bet this seems like a fairy tale, you know, getting this opportunity for a second chance.

Kyle: Exactly. I mean, you get it. My dad is nervous about the whole thing, but he’s worried I’m gonna get hurt. But how can I turn down an opportunity like this? We can forge a new relationship. It’s kind of like when I found out about harrison. Whole son I didn’t know I had.

Mariah: Yes, but it’s different. Harrison wasn’t pretending to be dead.

Kyle: I know, and I know fairy tales aren’t real, but this is everything I wished for as a kid. For my mom to be here again. And here she is. It’s amazing.

Mariah: Yes. But I’m just — I am afraid that you are setting yourself up to be hurt. Okay? Kyle, how can you trust her? How can you just let her walk back into your life? And why on earth would you let her anywhere near summer or harrison?

Diane: Jack, um…it’s me. I was hoping you’d pick up. In case you’re wondering, kyle’s reaction wasn’t what I was hoping for, but I guess it’s all I can expect right now. I did what I came to do, and i hope that there will be more in the future, but I guess there’s no guarantees. And that is why I am leaving for los angeles in the morning.

Proofread by Anita

[ Door beeps ]

Martin: Hello, gorgeous. I’m back.

Lucy: [ Sniffs ]

Martin: Little hot for all that fur, isn’t it?

Lucy: Mm-hmm. Sure is. And it’s about to get a whole lot hotter.


Valentin: I know the deal, and I will do what has to be done, no matter what it costs me.


Sonny: I’m sorry. Is this seat taken?

Nina: It is now.

Sonny: [ Sighs ]

Nina: [ Chuckles ]

Sonny: How you doing?

Nina: I’m doing alright. How are you doing?

Sonny: Girls’ night out? No?

Nina: No. Britt, she had a hard day, so…

Sonny: Oh, that’s going around.

Nina: Yeah, and Aunt Liesl, she actually just got a better offer, and I wasn’t ready to go home yet.

Sonny: I’m glad you stayed.

Nina: Yeah, me, too. But, actually, I’m surprised that you did.

Sonny: What do you mean?

Nina: Sonny, you haven’t spoken to Michael tonight?

Sonny: No. Why?

Nina: Then you don’t know.

Sonny: Know what?


Carly: Has there been an update?

Willow: My mom woke up, so I take it as a good sign.

Carly: Yeah, yeah, that’s positive, yeah.

Michael: Yeah, we’re — we’re hopeful.

Willow: Dr. Ashford’s in with her now, taking her off the respirator, so she must be getting stronger. Maybe I won’t lose my mother after all. How is she?


Maxie: I want to see you tomorrow.

Austin: Good.

Maxie: But Georgie and James, they have activities, and I need to bake or throw myself at the mercy of Eckert’s for four dozen cupcakes, which will most likely clean them out.

Austin: Maxie, it’s okay. If you don’t want to hang out tomorrow night, that’s — just say so.

Maxie: I do want to hang out tomorrow night. I do not want to ask my parents to babysit two nights in a row. And I don’t want to have you over and run the risk of my kids having a meltdown on you.

Austin: Okay, you don’t need to convince me of anything, really, but it does sound like you’re trying to convince yourself a little bit.

Maxie: Of what?

Austin: Well, that, you’re busy, that you’re too busy. But it’s okay. Maybe just, you know, two nights in a row is too much too soon.


[ Phone clatters ]

Elizabeth: What was that?

Finn: It’s okay. It’s okay.

Elizabeth: Oh. [ Chuckles ]

Finn: You just knocked something over. You knocked over your phone.

Elizabeth: I’m sorry. I got a little carried away. [ Chuckles ]

Finn: It’s alright. I like when you get carried away. I’m all for it.

Elizabeth: Being here with you, not thinking about the house or being scared, it feels really nice.

Finn: I’m glad you feel safe here.

Elizabeth: ‘Cause I’m with you.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Elizabeth: Oh. I’m sorry.

[ Both chuckle ]

Elizabeth: It’s Cameron. Just be a second. Hold on. Hi. Yeah, I’m okay. Finn’s here, so you don’t have to worry about me.


Maxie: Maybe you’re right. Going out two nights in a row doesn’t seem like that big of a deal. Or at least it wasn’t before I had kids. I’m not going to say, “I’m a different person now,” but I am still me. I’m just me with a lot less free time.

Austin: I get it.

Maxie: Really?

Austin: [ Chuckles ] No, not — not — not really, but… okay, what I’m about to say — I am in no way equating medical school with being a parent. Okay. But, you know, medical school’s really time-consuming, and everybody tells you that, you know, and you think you understand that, but you don’t at all until you’re in the middle of it, and then you realize that it’s been weeks since you had a minute to yourself so you could lay down in the grass and look at the sky. Time-wasting becomes a memory and spontaneity a thing of the past.

Maxie: Very perceptive.

Austin: Thanks. I’m super smart.

Maxie: [ Chuckles ] And very true. I used to be a spontaneous person. Probably too impulsive. It got me into trouble a few times.

Austin: I’ll bet. You miss that?

Maxie: Certain aspects of it. But I wouldn’t trade the life I have now for that in a million years. And something like going out one night and having a really good time just so I could do it again the next night? That doesn’t seem practical.

Austin: Mm-hmm.

Maxie: And that defines the difference. Now, when I think about going out, I have to figure out if it’s practical or not.

Austin: Right. Maxie, if this were just about time management, that would not be a problem. That’s okay. But it does seem to me like you’re just looking for an excuse to push me away.


Lucy: I will forgive you your long, long absences if you promise to greet me like this every time you return.

Martin: Well, I would’ve been back a lot sooner, if at all possible.

Lucy: [ Chuckles ] So, how’s your mom?

Martin: Mother’s fine. Could we not discuss her while we’re naked?

Lucy: [ Chuckles ] Point taken.

Lucy: Did I tell you how much I really, really, really missed you?

Martin: Oh, I think you just did, and the feeling’s mutual. But I am sorry that I missed your big deception IPO launch.

Lucy: Oh, me, too, because it was an amazing experience. It would’ve been a lot better if you had been there. You know, I just was not sure how lucrative the IPO was going to be.

Martin: Oh, yes, you were.

Lucy: Yes, I was.

[ Both laugh ]

Lucy: And it was so glorious to be proven right. And you know what the other best part is?

Martin: Mm?

Lucy: Well, besides oodles and oodles of nice cash.

Martin: There is that.

Lucy: We can stop hiding our relationship.

Martin: I don’t think Valentin would be any more open to the idea of me being seen with his wildly successful business partner.

Lucy: Who cares? Fire him as a client. You don’t need him. I am very rich.

Martin: Why, Lucy Coe, are you suggesting that I become a kept man?

Lucy: [ Chuckles ] Okay, look at it this way. I am going to be hobnobbing with the rich and the powerful, and I’m going to be able to just throw clients, all types of other clients, right your way.

Martin: That is a gracious and generous offer, but I like to be in control of my own financial destiny, not to mention my personal life.

Lucy: Okay, let’s just hold on for a minute. So if this isn’t about the money, then why the hesitation? Do you — do you have a problem with us going public with our relationship?


Nina: I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you know Harmony, Willow’s mother. Well, Sonny, she got into a terrible accident. She’s in the ICU right now. She — she may not make it. Willow and Michael, they’re, I’m sure, at G.H., And I’m certain I wouldn’t be welcome, but I think maybe you should be there.

Sonny: No. I don’t think I’m welcome, either.


TJ: Your mother is breathing on her own. She’s — she’s getting supplemental oxygen, and she’s in and out of consciousness, which is to be expected. Your mom is still in critical condition. We had to cut her surgery short because she’s hypotensive. So hopefully she improves through the night, and we can go back in tomorrow and complete the surgery.

Willow: Can I see her?

Michael: It might help Harmony to hear Willow’s voice again.

TJ: That’s true. I never doubt the power of a mother’s love, so you can go in alone. And, Willow, it’s vital that your mom remains calm because any stress could cause a setback that — that she might not recover from.


Maxie: I am not pushing you away. That being said, I did just spend the last year of my life in abject fear of Peter. So, yes, I might be extra cautious about getting close to somebody new. I also might be misreading red flags and green flags and checkered flags. I’m really out of practice.

Austin: That’s a lot of flags.

Maxie: [ Chuckles ]

Austin: Maxie, the last thing I want to do is replace Peter in your life as a source of dread.

Maxie: No, you’re nothing like Peter, and I definitely don’t dread spending time with you.

Austin: Thank you for saying both of those things. But maybe you’re just starting to realize that it’s too soon to start something new.


Lucy: Wearing disguises and slinking around in hotel rooms has been very, very titillating. I’ve loved it. But I think it’s time to ditch the wigs and put our relationship on blast. Unless, of course, you really don’t want to be seen with me.

Martin: No, no. Lucy, that’s not it at all. Having you on my arm would definitely be a source of pride. But that pride would dissipate if I felt I was beholden ’cause you were paying my way. I mean, call me a neanderthal, but that’s just the way I feel.

Lucy: You, sir, are not a neanderthal. You are a gentleman, and it’s very, very charming. It’s just, it would be so nice to eat out sometimes instead of always ordering room service.

Martin: You know, you’re right. I mean, I’m never going to take your money, but I think I am done kowtowing to Valentin.

Lucy: Do you… you really mean that?

Martin: Hell yeah. If he doesn’t like the idea of the two of us together, well, that’s just too bad.

Lucy: [ Chuckles ]

Martin: ‘Cause I can always find another client. I just don’t think I could find another you.


Sonny: Michael and I had a fight, and things were said that can’t be forgotten.

Nina: Or forgiven?

Sonny: It’s over. We’re done. You can’t really get over this, you know, right?

Nina: Sonny, I don’t believe that. I know how much you love Michael. Sonny, there has to be some hope for reconciliation.

Sonny: My son disrespected me, and that’s something I can’t easily forgive.

Nina: Those are tough words.

Sonny: Yeah.

Nina: But I know how painful this is for you.

Sonny: Okay, so you know me.

Nina: Mm-hmm.

Sonny: It’s strange to me that Michael and Willow are going through a big life, you know, event. They don’t know if Harmony’s going to live or die, and nobody can pick up the phone to just give me a call. It’s not — you know, I know it’s not my… it’s not my place, so… speaking of place, this place looks like it’s going to be cleared pretty soon, right?

Nina: Mm.

Sonny: And then it’s just going to be [Chuckles] The two of us.


Willow: Dr. Ashford says you’re doing great. Keep it up, okay? Don’t push yourself. Rest. I’ll be right here whenever you wake up.

[ Monitor beeping ]

Willow: I don’t understand what happened tonight, but I want you to know, whatever it was, we’ll get through it together. I love you, Mom.

Michael: Thanks again for letting Willow go in there.

TJ: I know what it’s like waiting for your mom. You know, all that detached medical training, it just goes out the window.

Carly: You were great with Willow.

TJ: Thanks. I’ll be back.

Carly: [ Sighs ]

[ Beeping continues ]

Willow: Mom. Hi. Hi. It’s okay. I’m here. You’re going to be okay.

Harmony: What…?

Willow: Um, there was an accident. You were hit by a car, but you’re at G.H. Right now, and they are taking really good care of you.

[ Beeping quickens ]

Willow: Mom, are you in pain? I’ll get the nurse.

Harmony: [ Weakly ] No, Willow. [ Sighs ] I’m so sorry.

[ Beeping continues ]


Finn: Okay, sweetheart, I love you. Yeah, I love Uncle Chase, too. Sure, you can tell him. Alright. Good night. I’ll see you in the morning.

Elizabeth: Okay, then let’s just talk in the morning, alright? I love you. Bye. Hm.

Finn: Cam okay? Still staying in his friend’s dorm room?

Elizabeth: Oh, yeah, he’s fine. Chase and Violet having a good time?

Finn: They’re camped out in the living room as we speak.

Elizabeth: Do you remember when we went camping?

Finn: We should do it again. I like camping with you.

Elizabeth: [ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Elizabeth: Oh, I’m so sorry.

[ Both chuckle ]

Elizabeth: I’m sure it’s another kid. Yeah, it’s Aiden. Oh. He’s still asking about franco’s ghost. I should call him.

Finn: Yeah. Yeah, you should. I understand. Um, I’m going to go, but, um… I’m right next door. Just bang on the wall if you need me.

Elizabeth: [ Bangs on wall ] [ Chuckles ]

Finn: [ Sighs ]

Elizabeth: Oh, you know what? You, um, take this extra key in case, you know, I bang on the wall in the middle of the night.

Finn: Okay. Hey. Do me a favor. Latch this door anyway, okay?

Elizabeth: Okay.

Finn: You are so beautiful.

Elizabeth: [ Chuckles ]

Finn: Good night.

Elizabeth: Good night.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Elizabeth: Hey, I was just going to call you, but you beat me to it. Yeah, I’m okay. How about you? What have you guys been up to?


Lucy: Are you sure tonight is the night for us to go public?

Martin: It’s overdue. You and I have been hiding out too long.

Lucy: [ Exhales sharply, chuckles ]

Valentin: Martin. You’re back. Looking cozy with my business associate. Hello, Lucy Coe. How are you?

Lucy: Cozy. We’re dating.

Valentin: You don’t say.


Maxie: Well, you make a valid point. Between transitioning Bailey into my family, juggling the schedule of three kids with my work schedule, and the IPO, and getting out of the havoc Peter wreaked in my life, I mean, a new relationship is the last thing I should be thinking about.

Austin: Okay. Mm. There you have it. Look, Maxie, I’m not… I don’t want to rush you into anything. I don’t want you to do anything you don’t want to do. And we started as friends. We can just go back to being friends.

Maxie: To hell with that.


Nina: Thank you. Are you still drinking club soda?

Sonny: I told you, I’m cutting back on my drinking.

Nina: That’s so great. And how do you feel?

Sonny: I feel great. Workout’s incredible, and my energy is…

Nina: [ Chuckling ] Oh, boy, watch out. Well, I’m glad you’re taking care of yourself, because… I want you around for a very long time.

Sonny: Are you going to make my sticking around worth it?

Nina: I’ll do my best.

Sonny: Hmm. Here’s your chance.

Nina: Uh-oh.

Sonny: Uh-huh.

Nina: [ Chuckles ]

🎵 Darkness calling / to the shadows of your love / nowhere to run 🎵

Sonny: Dance with me.

🎵 Take me / I’m falling 🎵


Michael: That’s not dinner.

TJ: Well, it’s portable, and theoretically more nutritious than potato chips, so… How’s Willow holding up?

Michael: She’s still in there with Harmony. My mom’s in the waiting room in case she comes out.

TJ: Good.

Michael: Willow knows about Alexis and my mom, by the way.

TJ: That’s got to make this even harder for her. I understand having a difficult relative that you’re not sure about letting into your life completely. You and Willow both have my sympathy.

Michael: How do you do that? How do you — how do you genuinely care about someone who tried to kill Molly’s mom?

TJ: First of all, I took an oath about doing no harm, but beyond that, it comes down to humanity. People who do bad things, people who we don’t like, are still people. So it’s not my job to judge, Michael. It’s my job to heal. And if I ever cross that line, it’s time to put down my stethoscope.

Michael: You’re a better man than I am.

TJ: Uh, don’t give me too much credit. I feel things. Oh, I feel things. But I have to do my part. As for Harmony, so far, she’s proven to be a fighter. So if she gets through this, I’ll have done my part, and she’ll have to ultimately face the consequences of her actions.

Michael: Yeah, but, I mean, would that — would that really be for the best, right? I’m thinking of Willow.

TJ: I hear you, I hear you. But isn’t it better if Willow has the chance to talk to Harmony about what happened rather than Harmony dying with all her questions left unanswered?

Willow: Mom, Mom. Y-you have to stay calm, okay? Do you need me to get a doctor?

Harmony: No.

[ Monitor beeping rapidly ]

Harmony: Willow… I love you.

Willow: I love you, too, Mom.

Harmony: I loved being your mom.

Willow: I’m glad we’ve reconnected, but we have — we have more memories to make.

Harmony: Wiley?

Willow: Yes, yes. Wiley he loves his grandma, and that’s why you have to get better. So you can make a bunch of memories with Wiley.

Harmony: Won’t.

Willow: “Won’t” what, Mom? Look at me. Listen. You will see Wiley again. All you have to do is rest. We’ll — we’ll figure everything out. We’ll find a way to make it better.

Harmony: HI have to… [ Breathes shakily ] Have to — have to tell… [ Beeping continues ]


Elizabeth: [ Sighs ] Oh, no. Finn. Finn!

[ Door beeps ]

Elizabeth: Finn.

Finn: Oh. Hey, hey. Are you alright? What happened? I don’t know. I was in the shower. I didn’t even hear anything. What’s going on? Why is this happening?


Carly: “Harmony suffers from intense guilt about the child”?

Harmony: Those are private. Give them to me.

Carly: “Harmony rationalizes keeping the child.”

Harmony: This is all lies. Neil Byrne was a drug addict. Give it to me.

Carly: No. This is what you meant about Willow not being yours. That’s what you’re doing here, right? You’re burning papers that prove that Willow isn’t your biological daughter.

Harmony: [ Grunts ]

Carly: Oh!

Michael: Mom.

Carly: Hey. [ Sighs ] Those for me?

Michael: Yeah.

Carly: Thank you.

Michael: So what’s got you so distracted?

Carly: I was just remembering when Harmony attacked me.

Michael: Yeah, I was just talking to TJ about that. He’s got this Hippocratic oath to help clarify things, but I don’t think I can ever forgive Harmony now. Thank God you’re okay.

Carly: I am. Sore. But I’m okay.

[ Both sigh ]

Michael: I know — I know that Harmony’s Willow’s mom, but I can’t help but think that she’s better off without her.

Carly: This is going to be really difficult for Willow.

Michael: Even if Harmony survives, she’s going to be facing criminal charges. Yeah, it’s hard when a parent betrays your love.

Carly: Does Sonny know about this? Did you tell him what’s going on?

Michael: Nah, I don’t intend to.

Carly: Michael, hey. No matter what happened between Sonny and me, I want you to have a relationship with your father. It’s important.

Michael: As you know, he put Nina first — ahead of you, ahead of his whole family. So I don’t want his support. I wouldn’t take it even if it was offered. I don’t want anything from him.


Martin: Valentin, I am proud to confirm that miss Lucy and i are indeed keeping company. However, I can assure you that my clients are never subject to pillow talk, and you can rely on the same discreet service that you’ve always receive from me.

Valentin: Yeah? And what if I still feel uncomfortable with my lawyer and my close business associate becoming involved?

Martin: Then I’ll be very sorry to see you go, but I cannot allow anyone to dictate my personal life.


Austin: You good?

Maxie: Yeah. You make me happy.

Austin: Well, Maxie, you make me really happy. But I don’t want to be the kind of guy that you feel like you ought to make excuses, you know, and hang out —

Maxie: Whoa, wait. Hold on. No. Are you done talking? Because I think we were in the middle of something.

Austin: Yeah. We were. Maybe we should finish what we started.

Georgie: What is he doing here? Mommy?


Harmony: Must…tell…you —

Willow: Mom, Mom, you have to stay calm, okay? Mom, Mom.

[ Monitor beeping rapidly ]

Harmony: Willow, no —

Willow: Please, please, mom, I have to get —

Harmony: Willow, listen.

Willow: Mom, mom.

[ Beeping continues ]

Willow: Mom.

TJ: Oh, my God. This is Dr. Ashford. Page Dr. Carter for me, stat. You need to go. Now.

Willow: Mom, it’s okay. It’s okay. You’re going to be okay. You just need to sleep, heal. Wiley and I will be here waiting for you, okay?

TJ: You feeling anxious?

Willow: She was trying to tell me something, and her telemetry spiked. Carly, whatever it is, just tell me, please.

Carly: What did Harmony say?

Willow: She said that she loves me and she’s sorry. She wanted to say more, but she was getting upset. Maybe she remembered what she’d done to you and Alexis? In the chapel, you told me what happened but not why. That’s what I can’t understand.

Carly: Okay, Willow, there will be plenty of time to talk about this. I promise you that. But right now, you need to focus on your mother.

TJ: So I just spoke with the attending physician, Dr. Carter, and he agreed that your mom only needs a sedative. So I’ve administered it, and she’s resting now.

Willow: Did I cause that because she was trying to talk to me?

TJ: No, no, your mom’s condition remains critical, and, right now, it’s most important she rest.

Michael: Let’s go for a walk, okay? Get some fresh air.

Willow: No, I’ll be okay.

Carly: Hey, a walk and some air can do wonders, so go with Michael, and I will let you know if your mom wakes up. I promise.

Willow: Okay, then.

Michael: Okay. Come on.

Carly: [ Sighs ] God. Willow thinks Harmony remembers what happened on Rana Point. Maybe that’s why she’s so upset.

TJ: Well, if that’s the case, that is another good sign cognitively. Right now, the most urgent concern is how much damage her body sustained when the car hit her.

[ Pager beeps ]

Carly: [ Sighs ]

TJ: Excuse me. I have to consult with Dr. Carter.

[ Monitor beeping steadily ]


Valentin: You make a handsome couple. I wish you both the best.

Martin: Then you’re still on my client roster?

Valentin: I hope so. Near the top. I’m happy for you both.

Lucy: [ Giggles ] Uh, thank you, partner. I promise you it will be smooth sailing from here on out.

Valentin: I will continue to be happy if I can count on your support at ELQ.

Lucy: Well, under your leadership, ELQ has certainly prospered, so I don’t have any plans of withdrawing my support at all.

Valentin: Well, then sail away. Excellent news all around. Enjoy the evening.

Lucy: [ Giggles ]

Martin: You, lovely lady, are one shrewd customer.

Lucy: Shut up. Kiss me.


Maxie: Georgie, what are you doing out of bed?

Georgie: I can’t sleep. I’m hungry.

Austin: I should go.

Maxie: Oh.

Georgie: Yes.

Maxie: Wait. Uh, Georgie, please be nice to my friend, Austin.

Austin: No, it’s — it’s — it’s — it’s no big deal. I totally understand. And Georgie didn’t expect to see me here when she woke up.

Maxie: Right. I do need to get this girl back to bed.

Georgie: No.

Austin: I definitely need to go.


Elizabeth: I got out of the shower and found everything just like this.

Rory: And you heard nothing?

Elizabeth: No, nothing. And the room was empty.

Finn: I didn’t see anyone in the corridor when I ran over. I was right next door.

Rory: Was the door open or closed?

Elizabeth: I-I don’t — I don’t know. I don’t remember.

Finn: It was closed and locked. I had to use my key.

Rory: And, uh, what about the security latch?

Elizabeth: Oh, God. Aiden called me. I got distracted. I don’t think I latched it.

Finn: Someone with a key card could have entered.


Willow: Well, I definitely took a breath of fresh air, and you’re right, it helped, but I don’t want to be too far from the ICU.

Michael: Hey, I understand. [ Sighs ] Can I, um… can I get you anything? Water? Anything from the cafeteria?

Willow: Just stay with me.

Michael: I’m not going anywhere.

Willow: I keep wondering what my mom was trying to tell me. Why did she attack Carly and Alexis? It doesn’t make any sense. I keep turning over all kinds of scenarios.

Michael: Hey, hey, hey, hey. Don’t — don’t do that, okay? You’re going to drive yourself crazy. Look, we can’t know what we don’t know until we do.

Willow: Michael, did Carly say anything more to you about what happened tonight?

[ Monitor beeping ]

Harmony: You tell?

Carly: Willow knows that you tried to kill me and Alexis, but she doesn’t know why. She doesn’t know that you’re not her birth mother. I didn’t hold back for you. I held back for Willow’s sake because she’s got a hell of a lot going on right now. But she deserves to know the truth.


🎵 Falling / till I’m drowning in your love / nowhere to come up / take me / down to / the bottom of your love / and I surrender it is nice to be in 🎵


Elizabeth: It is nice to be in a room with other people. Oh, there’s Lucy.

Lucy: Oh. Hey, you two. How’s… well, what is it? What’s going on? Elizabeth, are you okay?

Elizabeth: You know that I’m staying here for a bit, and…um….

Finn: Someone broke into her room.

Lucy: What? Here at the metro court? That is so horrible. With everything that’s going on, I’m so sorry.

Finn: The police are investigating.

Lucy: Okay, good. Uh, hey, why don’t you two, uh, come and join me and Martin?

Finn: Oh.

Elizabeth: Oh, no, that’s okay. We’re — we’re just getting some tea.

Lucy: Some tea? You need whiskey in that tea. Come on. Join us, please.

Elizabeth: You know, I-I left my phone in the room. The boys might call me.

Finn: I’ll go get it.

Elizabeth: Thank you.

Finn: Okay.


Maxie: I’m sorry we got interrupted just when things were getting interesting.

Austin: Yeah. We have plenty of time.

Maxie: I like the sound of that.

Georgie: Mommy, I need more apples.

Austin: Good night, Maxie.

Maxie: Good night.


Finn: Hey. Anything?

Rory: I reviewed the security footage at the time of the incident. Unfortunately, this room is out of the camera’s range, but I did confirm that nobody entered or exited the elevator on this floor or used the stairs.

Finn: Okay, that’s, uh — that’s Elizabeth’s phone. Can I take this to her?

Rory: Sure.

Finn: Okay. What about the vacant rooms, alright? You’ll check those, too, right? I mean, the intruder could be hiding in one of them.

Rory: They’re currently being checked.

Finn: There’s got to be something else, alright? I mean, this person doesn’t just vanish into thin air. How does someone break into Elizabeth’s room and leave no evidence?


Lucy: Forget the tea, okay? Get a hot toddy instead. For Elizabeth. I don’t need one.

Martin: Agreed. ‘Cause you, woman, are hot enough as it is.

Lucy: [ Chuckles ] Go. [ Chuckles ] [ Sighs ]

Elizabeth: So this is new.

Lucy: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Yeah, it is. He — he’s so cute, right? Cute. Oh, sorry. Uh, back to you. What can you do? What are you going to do?

Elizabeth: I don’t know. I thought I would be safe here, but it seems that whatever is going on is following me.

Lucy: Okay, well, I’m sure the police can figure this out and figure out who’s doing this.

Elizabeth: I think the police may be out of their depth on this one. I might need a different kind of expert.

Lucy: Okay.

Elizabeth: I would like the name of that medium you mentioned.


[ Applause ]

N’neka: Nice moves. Maybe Curtis should think about a floor show.

Nina: Yeah. That’s funny. Um… I should go home.

Sonny: Need a ride?

Nina: No, I called earlier. The car’s actually waiting for me.

Sonny: Thanks for the dance.

Nina: No, thank you for the dance. Good night, Sonny.

Sonny: Good night, Nina.

Nina: [ Chuckles ]

Sonny: [ Chuckles ]


Michael: I’m guessing my mom told you as much as she told me, that she went to Alexis’ house, Harmony was there, they got into a fight, and then Harmony — Harmony drugged her.

Willow: [ Scoffs ] But why?

Michael: I don’t know.

Willow: Well, your mom does.

Michael: [ Sighs ] Yes, and she’ll tell you, okay? She will. But Willow, knowing right now, whatever it is, it’s not going to change anything. We just — we have to wait. And I get it. Waiting is torture, but… sometimes it’s best not to know, at least in the short term. That way you can just focus on what’s right in front of you, and that is that Harmony’s in critical condition, and that’s scary, right, but she’s made it this far, she loves you, and she’s going to get through this. Maybe that is all that matters.

Harmony: [ Weakly ] Willow.

Carly: Willow’s here. She just stepped out, but I can text her.

Harmony: No, I need to… I have to…

Carly: Okay, I’m going to get somebody in here for you, okay?

Harmony: N-N-Nina.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Mac (to Robert): What if you do the parenthood thing all over again?

Anna (to Felicia): You’re not…

Valentin: Maybe it again.

Nina (to Phyllis): There’s a way forward for Sonny and me.

Sonny (into phone): I can’t wait to see you.

Sasha: That means that there’s hope.

Carly: You need to get back to the ICU.

Harmony: Willow can never know.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sonny: Okay. So the double wedding ended with nobody getting married?

Chad: That’s right. We had one bride, three grooms, and not a single “I do.” It was a very salem wedding.

Sonny: I’m sorry to stop you, but, chad, can we– can we get back to leo, please?

Chad: You mean his devastation…

Sonny: Mm-hmm.

Chad: His utter defeat, his total public humiliation?

Sonny: Oh, that it is, like, the most incredible freudenschade ever. I just–I wish I could have seen what his face looked like when you showed up with his first husband.

Leo: The face looked just like this: Ready to kill.

[Dramatic music]

Craig: [Sighs]

[Knock at door] Go away.

[Urgent knocking] Whoever it is, go away.

Nancy: Craig, it’s me, nancy.

Craig: Are you here for your “I told you so” moment? You deserve it. God knows I do.

Xander: Hi, maggie.

Maggie: Xander. Oh, my goodness. It’s so good to see you, aw.

Xander: It’s good to see you too. I heard you were back. How’s sarah?

Maggie: Well, she’s settling into the clinic. Everyone there is– they’re wonderful, but… there hasn’t been any change.

Xander: I’m sorry. Must have been hard leaving her like that.

Maggie: Well, they said it was better that I do. Wait a minute. What are you doing here? I thought you and gwen would be on your honeymoon.

Xander: Yeah, well… there was no honeymoon because there was no wedding.

[Laughter] But we should go get those tuxes fitted. I don’t wanna be late for my own wedding.

Gwen: Oh, yeah. So… hey, the next time that I see you…

Xander: I’ll be making an honest woman of you.

Gwen: [Laughs] Yeah, we’ll see about that.

[Door clicks open] Xander?

Jack: Guess again.

Jennifer: Yeah. Thanks, shawn. And please let me know if there’s anything that I can do to help. Yeah, and we’ll just be praying that ciara is found safe and very soon. All right, bye-bye.

Abigail: Do the police have any leads at all?

Jennifer: No, no. This world has gone mad. Ciara’s missing. Christian maddox is on the loose. Allie is possessed by the devil.

Abigail: You know, maybe this isn’t really a good time.

Jennifer: No, honey, I’m sorry. No, what’s going on?

Abigail: It’s nothing.

Jennifer: No, you came here for a reason. Really, what is it?

Gwen: Just so you know, your precious grandmother, I killed that old bitch on purpose.

Jennifer: Abigail, what is it?

Abigail: It’s about gwen.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Maggie: Xander, what happened?

Xander: Look, let’s just– let’s sit down, okay?

Maggie: Honey, are you all right? You were so determined to get married.

Xander: Maggie, I just– I couldn’t go through with it. There were– there were things about gwen that I didn’t know.

Maggie: Like what?

Xander: [Sighs] It’s about sarah.

Gwen: Well, I sure wasn’t expecting to see you. The last thing you said to me was that you were done with me.

Jack: This was jennifer’s idea.

Gwen: Oh, come on. Don’t joke. Nobody’s that wonderful.

Jack: Don’t you dare. Don’t you dare say anything about her.

Gwen: You’re right. You’re right. It’s a force of habit. Always attack, never admit. Sorry.

[Sighs] Yeah, like you’re ever gonna believe I’m sorry, like you’re ever gonna believe a single word that comes out of my mouth again. This is true, though. Besides xander, I– I cannot even bear to imagine what last night must have been like for you.

Jack: Wasn’t “father of the bride,” was it? I forgave you over and over.

Gwen: You forgave the unforgivable, and I threw all that forgiveness back in your face.

Jack: [Sighs] Jennifer says– last night when I told you I was done with you, I meant it. I hate what you did. But jennifer said–says I won’t be able to pull it off. There’s nothing I can do about the fact that you’re my daughter. I can’t be done with you.

Gwen: Well, my mum managed to pull it off. Why can’t you? I mean, god, haven’t I given you enough bloody reasons?

Jack: More than enough. When I think about what you did to abigail, to my family, I can, in some weird, dark deveraux way, understand why you did it, but this, what you did to sarah, is unfathomable.

Gwen: Again, I don’t expect you to believe me, but the reason I did that– and I have a hard time believing it myself, but… the reason I did that…

Jack: What? You gonna tell me the devil made you do it?

Gwen: In a way, yes.

Limu emu

Chad: How did you get in here?

Leo: I told harold I was the new french maid. Does it matter how I got in here? Did you think you could do what you did without one final confrontation, like I was just gonna slink away?

Sonny: Certainly hope so.

Leo: At least she had the kishkes to show up at the wedding and look me in the eye as she shattered my dreams, while you, no doubt, were cowering in the kiriakis fruit cellar, terrified of the forces you’d unleashed.

Sonny: I had a work call. Otherwise–oh, yeah, no, I wouldn’t have missed it.

Leo: A work call.

[Mockingly] “This is sonny. I’m 6’3″ with a swimmer’s build.” Please.

Chad: Leo, don’t you think the moral outrage would pack a bigger punch if you were an innocent victim and not a– well, how should I put it– a manipulative, conniving little worm?

Leo: Oh, you and the wife, the moral police, the jim and tammy faye of salem blowing up not one marriage but two in the name of middle-class morality.

Sonny: Okay, I think both the upper class and the lower class would agree that, you know, bigamy and kidnapping are, um, wrong.

Leo: Okay, you keep telling yourself that this all stems from your desire to see justice done. I’ve known this entire time what your little crusade was all about, and it’s rather pathetic.

Sonny: What?

Chad: Okay. I’ll bite. What’s it all about?

Leo: Obviously sonny wants me back.

Craig: Go ahead. Enjoy yourself. You were right. Leo is a gold digger, and I was an utter fool. Oh, wait, nancy. Please, don’t close that door. By now, all salem knows what an idiot I was. Go ahead. Be as loud as you want. Rub it in. Remind me that you told me that I would regret the day that I let leo stark into my life.

Nancy: It’s all true, but that’s not why I’m here.

Craig: Oh, really? Then why are you here?

Nancy: To say I’m sorry.

[Dramatic music]

Gwen: If I try to explain it, it will just sound like I’m trying to justify what I did, and that’s not possible.

Jack: No, it’s not.

Gwen: Last night, I found myself sitting in a cell– the first night of many, many nights I’d be sitting in a cell. And… if I closed my eyes, I would see xander staring at me, disgusted. And I’d see you staring at me, repulsed. So I didn’t close my eyes again all night. I just tried to understand, how did I get here? How did I– how did I make it impossible for the only two people that I care about in the entire world– how did I make it so impossible for them to care about me? You are… probably the most forgiving person imaginable, and yet… you came here because you won’t, you… can’t give up on being a father to me.

[Sighs] Yet you can’t even look at me.

Jack: You’re the one not looking at me.

Gwen: You’re right. Last night, I thought about all the things I did to you… and to your family and to my sister and to… xander… and sarah and her mother, and… I realized I did all that to get what I wanted. But I have nothing I want, nothing.

[Sighs] And then… I sort of had this “come to jesus” moment where I realized that all those things I did, sort of like my mum putting the spike in her arm, when someone does something over and over and over again to ensure that they stay the same miserable human being. And, you know, I’ve been telling myself for months that kristen dimera blackmailed me into doing what I was doing, but really… she was just like my mother’s drug dealer. And just like my mum did… I put a spike in my own arm.

Sonny: [Laughs] I want you back? Okay, that’s like saying, “oh, gosh, oh, I wish my ibs would flare up again.”

Chad: That–you know, sonny, I don’t know. Maybe he’s onto something. People say there’s a fine line between love and hate.

Sonny: Yeah, idiotic people. You know what? I will never forget what you did to me, and I am ecstatic that I got to play a part in stopping you from doing it to anyone else.

Leo: What I have with craig is nothing like the dreary time I had with you. I love craig. I never even liked you. As you may recall, I was paid to go out with you. It was a job– one I did inadequately, I might add, because you’re not my type, and you’re a d-minus in bed.

Sonny: [Laughs] What?

Leo: The only reason you didn’t flunk is because I gave you extra credit for effort. He may have lacked finesse, but his enthusiasm was exhausting.

Sonny: Oh, that is a crock, and you know it.

Leo: I have it on tape.

Sonny: Yeah, I’ve seen those tapes, and you were very into it.

Leo: I was faking it.

Sonny: Okay, then what about the moaning?

Leo: Fake.

Sonny: The yelling?

Leo: Fake.

Sonny: The panting?

Leo: Fake.

Sonny: The screaming?

Leo: Fake. I faked it all. Sorry, babe.

Craig: You’re sorry. What do you have to be sorry for? You didn’t do anything, nancy.

Nancy: Craig, that’s not what I meant. I mean I’m sorry that this happened to you.

Craig: Really?

Nancy: Really. Look. I know what it’s like to love someone so much… that you ignore the abundant evidence that’s right in front of your eyes. It happened to me, and now it’s happened to my best friend.

Xander: Of all people, I should have been able to see through gwen’s lies.

Maggie: I’m not blaming you for what gwen did, but you did leave sarah behind the moment you found out that she wasn’t going to immediately recover.

Xander: [Sighs]

Maggie: I’m sorry. You know…

[Sighs] I’m not being fair.

Xander: No, I– I think you’re being fair and accurate.

Maggie: No, I gave you my blessing… even if I really didn’t mean it. I shouldn’t be taking out my anger at gwen on you. I know that you have every right to get on with your life. And anyway, this isn’t the time for recriminations. We need to figure out what we should do next. I mean, now that sarah wasn’t given the right antidote but some dose of the original drug… there’s a chance that that antidote might work.

Xander: You’re right.

Maggie: I’m gonna call kayla.

Xander: No, I already have. Kayla thinks there’s a good chance that the antidote can still work. I asked chad to reach out to rolf again.

Maggie: Well, that’s wonderful.

Xander: No, not really. Rolf managed to get himself into trouble with some chemistry experiment gone wrong. He’s in solitary confinement.

Maggie: Oh, we have gotta get ahold of that drug.

Xander: You know what? I have an idea.

Jack: When kristen blackmailed you, told you what she’d done to sarah, didn’t you see that you had to tell xander, tell maggie?

Gwen: If I told xander the truth, I knew I’d lose him. I knew that he loved sarah more than he loved me.

Jack: No, you didn’t know that. You feared that. What you should have known was that you were carrying all the risk. Didn’t you see back then what could have happened to you and ava if you’d been caught? Breaking a convicted prisoner out of prison carries a hefty minimum sentence.

Gwen: So does murder.

Jack: What are you talking about?

Jennifer: Abigail, you’re scaring me. Whatever it is, just tell me.

Abigail: It’s about grandma. Oh, god, it’s hard to even say it. This–gwen said to me– these are her exact words– “I killed that bitch on purpose.” My asthma felt anything but normal.

Leo: The only reason I had anything to do at all with you was money.

Sonny: Are you kidding? That’s the exact reason you went after craig.

Leo: In the beginning, maybe, but I fell in love with him. And now he hates me because of the two of you.

Chad: Does it ever occur to you to take responsibility for your own actions, leo? Craig hates you because you lied to him over and over again.

Sonny: Yeah. You know what? And you wouldn’t even be legally married to him even if we hadn’t done anything. You know, you could have just come clean with him, told him you had a husband.

Leo: Why do you care? It’s not like craig was your friend. You think you were doing him a favor? Now he’s just as miserable as I am.

Leo: Okay, trust me, leo, it’s not that hard to get over you.

Leo: That is not true. And deep down, craig knows that what we had is real, or I never would’ve signed that prenup. Oh, god, I hate that word. But I never would’ve signed it if all I cared about was taking him to the cleaners.

Chad: But what are you doing here? You’re trying to convince the wrong guys.

Leo: You’re right. But since you were so intent on making me pay, I want you both to know that now it’s my turn.

Craig: I still can’t believe leo has a husband.

Nancy: Oh, he does look good in a dress. Too soon? I’m sorry, he does. But out of that dress, he’s not as good-looking as you are. You are still quite a catch, craig wesley.

Craig: Thank you, sweetheart. Right back at you.

Jennifer: Gwen told you that she killed my mother on purpose?

Abigail: That’s right.

Jennifer: No, honey, she kept denying it. She–she insisted that it was an accident. Why would she change her story now?

Jack: Why are you talking about murder?

Gwen: Well–

Jack: Answer me. What did you mean, what you just said, “so does murder”?

Gwen: Just–I was just saying that like abigail pointed out, I planned to switch those syringes. It was premeditated. And for all I knew, that– a second dose of that drug could have very well killed sarah.

Jack: Thank god it didn’T.

Gwen: Even as it is, though, I did– I did take sarah’s life. The sarah that xander knew and fell in love with no longer exists. Go on. Say it.

Jack: You knew what that drug did to abigail, not to mention what it did to sarah when kristen gave it to her the first time.

Gwen: Yet I did it with full knowledge and malice aforethought. Now you wish I never existed.

Jack: No, I don’T.

Gwen: Yes, of course you do. How could you not? Xander does. Before, you said that I didn’t know that xander loved sarah more than he loved me, but he did. Yes, he told me he loved me. But then once sarah was in the picture, we both understood the unspoken.

Jack: [Sighs]

Gwen: Xander’s the only man that I’ve ever loved, but I’m not– I’m not the only woman that he ever loved. I’m not even the woman that he loved best. Do you know how that feels?

Jack: I do.

Gwen: Xander left me hanging for weeks, waiting to see if sarah would recover, and… this is no excuse, but I think, during those weeks… something inside me hardened. I just kept telling myself over and over and– and over again, “I cannot lose xander. I cannot.” But now it’s all my fault that he’s gone and I’ve lost him. And I don’t even know how I can live with myself.

[Door clicks open]

[Dramatic music]

Need long-lasting freshness?

Gwen: Xander, you’re here.

Xander: Yeah. Trust me, this isn’t a romantic rendezvous.

Gwen: How could it be? Go on, then. Let me have it, both barrels.

Xander: Not here to let you have it or to hear any excuses. I just– I have a question. What did you do with the real antidote?

Gwen: Right. You want me to help you get sarah back.

Xander: I wanted to give you a chance to act like a human being.

Gwen: Why start now?

Jack: Don’t do this. What nobody–especially xander doesn’t need right now is a tired, pathetic tough-guy act.

Xander: It’s all right, jack. I don’t care how she acts. I just– I just want an answer. Do you know where it is? Did you pour it down the sink, throw it away?

Gwen: No. I still have it.

Xander: Great. So… what’s it gonna take to get you to tell me where it is?

Abigail: I’ve been wondering the same thing. I mean… you know, gwen kept denying that she killed grandma even when I was threatening to drug her out of her ever-loving mind if she didn’t admit it.

Jennifer: Right, but she never wavered.

Abigail: No, she didn’T. So either she was lying back then, or she’s lying now. And I don’t know. Maybe I shouldn’t have told you what she said at the wedding, because the fact of the matter is, I’m still not sure if it’s true.

Nancy: I have to admit that a couple weeks ago, the idea of you getting dumped at the altar, well, it would’ve made me the happiest woman in the world. I would’ve said you got what you deserved.

Craig: Yeah, I suppose I did.

Nancy: No, no, craig, you’re a good man who just made mistakes. You’ve gone through a lot to get where you are today, and… sweetheart, you deserve to be happy.

Craig: So do you, nancy.

[Chuckles] You know, last night is really quite a blur to me, but I–

[Laughs] I think I remember you saying something about having met someone and going out on a date.

Nancy: Oh, yeah. We were supposed to go out for dinner last night, but he blew me off.

Craig: I’m sorry.

Nancy: [Sighs] Ain’t we a pair?

Craig: [Laughs]

Nancy: [Sighs]

Chad: Don’t be so melodramatic.

Leo: Melodramatic? I am your worst nightmare. You will rue the day you screwed matthew cooper, aka leo stark.

Chad: [Laughs] This is me struggling to keep a straight face.

Leo: I will leave you with a parting shot.

Aprs moi…

le déluge.

Sonny: The hell was that? We women are in the know about everything.

Jennifer: I understand her saying it was an accident, lying about that because she was trying to protect herself. But I don’t understand why she would lie about saying it was deliberate. It doesn’t make any sense.

Abigail: I don’t know. I don’t know, but it was the way that she said it, the words that she chose. So I don’t know, maybe after what I did to her at the wedding, she was just trying to torment me all over again or something.

Jennifer: Well, there’s only one way to find out.

Jack: Gwen, you just spent the last half hour telling me how much you love xander. Now look at him. He’s miserable. He’s suffering. For god’s sake, just tell him where the antidote is.

Gwen: You know, I was just thinking–

Jack: There’s nothing to think about. You have the chance to maybe, maybe undo the harm that you have done. For god’s sake, just tell him.

Gwen: I was just thinking that’s interesting, how you put that. It’s really interesting, ’cause you said, “what’s it gonna take to get you to tell me where it is?” It’s like it didn’t even occur to you to just ask me for it, because telling you would’ve been the right thing to do, yeah? But you know me well enough by now… to know that I don’t do anything unless there’s something in it for me. You don’t think there’s one good bone in my body, do you? You know, you’re right. There isn’T. So what’s it gonna take? Well, I know what I want. I want you back. Deal?

Xander: No.

Gwen: God, you hate me.

Xander: Yeah, that’s right.

Gwen: [Sighs] You hate me so much, you can’t even– you can’t even bloody lie to protect your precious sarah.

Jack: No, no, no. Don’t–gwen, please, don’t put the spike back in your arm.

Gwen: Well, sorry to put you through that, darling. Just needed to know where we stand.

Jack: God, no. No.

Gwen: You know, I will say, though, through all the lies… I did stay true to one thing. I did, I still, and I will always love you.

[Dramatic music]

[Sighs]

[Sighs] I will do whatever I can to help you.

Sonny: [Laughs mockingly]

“Aprs moi, le déluge.” He doesn’t even speak french, you know? He just likes sounding like edith piaf.

Chad: Wasn’t piaf. It was louis xv. “After me, the deluge.”

Sonny: Oh, come on, look, he probably just spent all morning googling threats in french and then he found that. He’s been practicing it all morning, I’m sure. Oh.

Chad: What?

Sonny: Well, as far as threats go, it’s actually a pretty good one. A nihilistic expression of indifference forecasting ruination.

Chad: Oh, that’s great. That’s just what I need.

Sonny: What? You’re not worried, are you? Come on, he’s not the king of france. He’s leo.

Chad: Yeah, exactly. He’s leo, self-aggrandizing, petty, vindictive little drama queen.

Sonny: Okay, that’s actually a pretty good point.

Chad: And now that vindictive little drama queen is laser focused on me. I thought the whole point of bringing him down was to– was to get him out of our lives so we didn’t have to worry about him anymore.

Sonny: Okay, maybe I didn’t think this whole thing through.

Chad: God only knows what he’s gonna do next.

[Tablet beeps]

Sonny: I’m sorry, do you have this thing set to news alerts for news about you?

Chad: Yeah, it’s a work thing.

Sonny: But you’re not working. Okay, well, there is news, and it is about you.

Craig: [Sighs]

Nancy: So what are you gonna do next?

Craig: Oh, nancy, I have absolutely no idea.

Nancy: Been there, done that. Craig, let me ask you… are you absolutely sure that it’s over between you and leo?

Craig: Am I sure? Nancy, the guy– the guy was gonna swindle me out of everything I own. He wanted to marry me. He was already married to someone else.

Nancy: Yes, but, craig, he is the guy who, after 30-plus years, brought you out of the closet. Honey, that was life-changing for you.

Craig: Are you– are you sticking up for him?

Nancy: No. I’m thinking about you. Craig… he really got to you.

Craig: That is an understatement.

[Laughs]

Nancy: But, craig, what if he’s telling the truth that he fell in love with you for real?

Craig: [Laughs] I cannot even believe you are saying this.

Nancy: Craig… I, more than anyone else, knows what it’s like being with you, you know, getting to know you, learning what kind of man you are. Sweetheart, that leads to love.

Craig: [Sighs]

Nancy: Who knows, craig? Maybe you got to him too.

[Knock at door]

Craig: That’s probably chloe. She’s been calling and texting all morning.

[Sighs] Leo. Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Chad: What news?

Sonny: Brace yourself.

[Dramatic music]

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo

doo-doo

Leo: Can we– oh, I didn’t realize you had company. Hello, nancy.

Nancy: Leo.

Leo: Can we have a moment alone?

Nancy: We were just in the middle of a conversation.

Leo: Please?

Nancy: Craig?

Craig: Thanks for coming over, talking. Means the world to me. But… I think I have to take care of this.

Nancy: [Sighs] Well… if you need backup, call me.

Craig: What the hell do you want?

Maggie: Did you see gwen?

Xander: Yeah, she– she had this stashed in our hotel room the entire time.

Maggie: [Gasps] She told you? Oh, thank god.

Xander: Yeah. Maybe we can save sarah yet.

Gwen: I suppose xander found the antidote by now.

Jack: You did the right thing.

Gwen: I know. Do you think it will work? Do you think sarah will be sarah again?

Jack: I don’t know. We’ll have to wait and see.

Gwen: I hope it does work. Truly, I really do. Again, I don’t expect you to believe me when I say this, but I am sorry for what I did to sarah.

Jennifer: So you’re sorry for what you did to sarah? Are you sorry for what you did to my mother? Are you sorry that you murdered her?
