Ridge: Son, whatever it is, you can talk to me.

Thomas: It’s nothing,

Ridge: It’s nothing? It’s not nothing, you just said it was something. Something surprising. Talk to now, you just pause, and you have nothing to say. What is it? Are you hiding something?

Taylor: Sheila, I have a few minutes, if you’d like to sit down.

Sheila: Yeah. I just– I don’t know why we’re all so surprised that brooke is finally showing her true colors, showing us who she truly is. I know that… you have way too much class to laugh at her misery, but you got to feel a little good seeing her lose.

Taylor: No, I don’T. Sheila, nothing feels good about that. She’s not well.

Sheila: You shouldn’t worry about brooke.

Taylor: Well, despite our differences. You know, I’m– I’m concerned about her, you know? Something triggered her that night and spiraled her out of control.

Zende: So what do you think?

Paris: It’s, uh, wow, it’s– it’s gorgeous. What did hope say?

Zende: I haven’t shown it to her yet. I wanted to run it by you first.

Paris: Me? You’re the super talented, successful designer.

Zende: And you are my muse. You inspired this design, paris.

Paris: Oh, wow, I, I don’t know what to say.

Zende: There’s nothing to say. When you’re a designer, you’re always looking for inspiration. When it hits, you just have to run with it.

Paris: Well, I’m sure it hits with all of the beautiful models fighting after your attention, like sequoyah. Are you going out with her tonight?

Zende: Would it bother you if I did?

Carter: Oh, I didn’t realize you guys were in here. Just need to pick up a file, I’ll be out of your way in a second.

Zende: No, no, actually stay, you just came in at the right time. I was just asking paris if it would bother her if I went out with sequoyah again. She hasn’t answered yet, but I think it’s pretty obvious.

Carter: I think whatever this is, it’s between you two.

Zende: Oh come on, carter. You know paris as well as I do. Well, almost.

Carter: I just don’t think I should be in the middle of this.

Zende: You are in the middle of this. You’re a friend, and i need your help. Lately, I feel like whenever I’m trying to talk to paris, what I mean to say, it’s just– it’s not coming out right. Maybe your being here can help with that.

Paris: Zende, what– what’s going on?

Zende: I asked earlier if me seeing sequoyah again bothers you, but I already know it doesn’T. Now, I don’t mean to judge. I just mean that you’re the one who said you wanted to keep things loose and free, and I agreed. But I guess I’m still just getting used to things being casual. And I guess you are too.

Paris: Yeah.

Zende: I do have one more question, though. Are you seeing anyone else?

Sheila: You’re finally getting what you want. Don’t worry about brooke. She’s going to meetings, she’s got the support of her family. She’s going to be fine. Just go on.

Taylor: Listen, sheila, like I said, she, she’s sick. She– she needs help. For a lot of things, but, you know, ridge, ridge is determined to figure out what happened. He really is. He wants answers. She was successfully sober for a very long time. Then all of a sudden, boom, she got triggered and something set her off.

Sheila: Well, it’s like I said before, who knows what happened, I mean, brooke doesn’t know, and she probably never will.

Ridge: Son, please, what’s going on? Your mom and I are concerned about you.

Thomas: Don’t be. I’ve been waiting for this for a really long time. Seeing you guys together, happy. And I know how much this means to mom. And– and I hope it means the same to you. And I know that you care about mom but–

Ridge: But– but you want to be protective. I get it and I appreciate it. And you’re right, there’s a lot of things to figure out. And not just taylor and me, but with the whole family. There’s things we got to talk about, but you got to know that I’m so happy that she’s here. She’s been my rock through all this with brooke. She listens to me and I’M… I’m grateful she’s in my life. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Zende: I know it’s really none of my business if you’re seeing someone. And the only reason you know about sequoyah is because we work in the same building.

Paris: Yeah.

Zende: I still would have told you, though. Would you have asked me if I was seeing anyone?

Paris: I– I don’t know, I wouldn’t want to make you feel like I was putting you on the spot.

Zende: Is that what you feel like I’m doing? Paris, it was not my intention to make you feel uncomfortable or put you on the spot, or whatever.

Paris: Zende, I know that.

Zende: What I’m trying to say with all of this is that… I still care about you, paris. I haven’t forgotten about you. And I hope you haven’t forgotten about me.

Carter: Look, I– I really shouldn’t be part of this, and it’s clear that you both still have a lot to talk about, so I’m going to head home.

Zende: No, no, carter, wait, hold on. I’m sorry. That was a little inappropriate to bring up with both of you here, but I really appreciate you hearing me out and I appreciate your friendship.

Sheila: So you think if you can pinpoint brooke’s trigger, it’ll help her with her recovery?

Taylor: Possibly. Yeah, I– I think everyone has unhealed trauma and we all deal with it different. But if we could find brooke’s core wound, I think it would help her tremendously in breaking the cycle.

Sheila: Why are we talking about brooke? We should be discussing you and ridge. I mean, it is so great that you two are finally coming back together after all this time.

Taylor: Sheila, I– I know that you, um, you’ve put a lot of energy into trying to gain my trust, but… considering our history, I, I don’t feel comfortable with this.

Sheila: I apologize.

Taylor: No, please don’T. I just wanted to set a boundary.

Sheila: And I understand I need to earn your trust, taylor, and I’m hoping that one day we will be closer. Who ever would have thought that a year ago we’d be spending christmas eve together. I really do appreciate you extending that olive branch. And you’re a good person, taylor, you deserve the very best.

Taylor: Thank you. That’s very kind.

Sheila: No, it’s true. You deserve to win. And I know that I’m not supposed to talk about this, but I’m really happy that you and ridge are working your way back to one another. You coming to los angeles, reuniting with ridge. Yeah. That’s exactly the way that I would have orchestrated it.

Ridge: I got to ask you something.

Thomas: Yeah.

Ridge: Do you doubt how much I care for your mom?

Thomas: No, no, I don’T.

Ridge: Good.

Thomas: Yeah, I just, um… I just hope things are going to be different. Look, every time that brooke does something, she’ll do something terrible, she’ll hurt you, and then you always forgive her. Look, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t even be bringing this up–

Ridge: No, no, no, no, no, no. You’re absolutely right. It’s always been like that. Brooke and I were together and then somebody screws up and we find our way back to each other, we forgive and, and it’s been like that your whole life. I know that. But thomas, I promise you, I thought this time was going to be different, this whole thing with bill. And we worked through it, and I thought we were going to be stronger for it. And then deacon shows up. She makes out with him and she sleeps with him in our bed and she defends him. So whoever I thought brooke was, whoever I thought she could be, I– she’s not.

Thomas: You were even willing to forgive her, and she let you down.

Ridge: Why is that? Why, we were good, we were in a good place. Yeah, hope and deacon, they were a problem, but not– we had it covered, we were, we were fine. And I know she was drinking. I get it. She took full responsibility for everything. But you know what, that doesn’T… it doesn’t let her off the hook. She’S… she’s not blameless. Homegrown tomatoes…nice.

Sequoyah: It’s beautiful, as always.

Zende: Thank you, but everything looks beautiful on you.

Sequoyah: Do you have any plans tonight?

Zende: I am not sure what my evening looks like, I have all these deadlines that are starting to stack up. I may have to pull an all nighter.

Sequoyah: All work and no–

Zende: I know, maybe I’ll be able to finish all of it. I’ll let you know. Dr. Buckingham, hey.

Grace: Hello, zende. And remember, please call me grace. I hope I’m not interrupting.

Zende: No, no, not at all. We were just finishing up.

Sequoyah: Grace, how’re you?

Grace: I’m good.

Sequoyah: Well, I’ll get going, then. Hopefully I’ll see you later.

Grace: That’s interesting.

Zende: What is?

Grace: Turning down an evening with a very beautiful woman who’s into you?

Zende: You overheard?

Grace: I did, and I’m sure I’m overstepping, so I apologize in advance. But are deadlines the real reason why you didn’t want to go out with that model tonight or is it because you rather be with paris?

Carter: Are you serious? You didn’t send the file? How many times do I gotta tell this guy? I didn’t tell him. You need to wake up, man, you need to wake up.

[ Knocking on door ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Paris: Carter, it’s me. I just had to see you.

Sheila: You wouldn’t do it, thomas, you wouldn’t destroy everything that’s so important to you.

[ Knocking on door ] I’m busy.

Thomas: It’s me.

Sheila: Did you tell ridge? Did you tell him what I did to brooke?

Ridge: Hey.

Taylor: Hey, ridge.

Ridge: I’m sorry to just barge in, but I had to tell you what I just learned. We’re eating and drinking foods and beverages

Carter: This is dangerous. Paris, you coming here like this?

Paris: I know, but I just had to see you.

Carter: I figured you’d still be talking to zende.

Paris: You heard him. He is still seeing sequoyah, keeping things casual.

Carter: But it doesn’t change the way he feels about you.

Paris: Carter, I can’t stop thinking about you, and I get the sense that you can’t stop thinking about me either.

Carter: Paris.

Paris: Stop… talking.

Taylor: Okay, so, so what did you learn? Is it about thomas?

Ridge: He finally opened up to me.

Taylor: Okay, what? He told you what was going on?

Ridge: He did.

Taylor: Is it bad? Is it okay? What did he say?

Ridge: It’s fine. It’s all right. I don’t even know where to start.

Taylor: Oh my god.

Ridge: No, no, no. It’s okay. He told me… he told me he is so happy that you’re back and that we’re spending time together.

Taylor: That’s– that’s– that’s the big news?

Ridge: Yeah, I need an excuse to see you. Taylor: Okay. You need an excuse to work me up, too, because you’re a master at that.

Ridge: Thank you.

Taylor: You never… need an excuse to see me.

Ridge: No?

Taylor: Na uh.

Sheila: Did you tell your father?

Thomas: No.

Sheila: Oh wow, finally someone with a brain. You don’t look at me that way. It’s because of me your mom and dad have a chance to be together again.

Thomas: But at what expense? Ruining brooke’s life?

Sheila: Oh, you’re worried about her?

Thomas: You drove her to drink. All right, I’m not fond of brooke, but you’re playing with her sobriety.

Sheila: Yeah, but you know what? She’s betrayed your father on numerous occasions. It was only a matter of time before it happened to–

Thomas: You got her drunk.

Sheila: I did. But I didn’t make her kiss deacon. Or press her body against his or put him in her bed and let him lay his head on your father’s pillow. I certainly didn’t try to get her to lie to cover the truth. Give me a break here, okay? I’ve given you all a gift. You, steffy, your mother and father. You have a real shot at finally being a family again. You’re welcome.

Thomas: This is wrong.

Sheila: Is it? Why can’t your mom win, just this once? You know, you did the right thing by not telling your father what happened to brooke that night. So you just keep using your head. You keep quiet. And watch your parents… get the chance they deserve. If you want your parents to have their happily ever after, then be smart. Don’t breathe a word of this to anyone. You need to keep this secret forever.

Taylor: Well, you left early. Did you sleep well?

Ridge: I slept great, the mattress in the guest house is amazing.

Taylor: Are you trying to make me jealous, because the mattress in the guest room, not so much.

Ridge: Really? Well, if you ever want to switch it up, I take bribes.

Taylor: No, no, I like sleeping in the main house. It’s close to the grandchildren– oh my gosh. Is this yours? It’s beautiful.

Ridge: I wish. This is thomas’ latest, pretty cool, right?

Taylor: Really? Oh, my– well, you taught him, well.

Ridge: Thank you.

Taylor: Yeah. Speaking of thomas, did you talk to him, did you find out what he was talking about?

Ridge: No, I haven’t talked to him since we were here. Um, yes, I know it’S… curious.

Taylor: Yeah, but he said he had a meeting. You’re the co-ceo, so you should know about his meetings.

Ridge: Uh, not if it’s a meeting for, I don’t know, maybe he’s trying to find a new house. Let’s not worry about it.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Until we have to worry about it.

Sheila: What are you doing here? How did you find me?

Thomas: Doesn’t matter. We need to talk.

Sheila: I think I made it perfectly clear I– I am not going to say anything–

Thomas: Sheila, I’ve got questions. And if you hadn’t ran out yesterday when steffy got home then I would’ve asked you–

Sheila: You didn’t say anything to steffy, did you? I swear to god, if you told anyone about what we spoke of–

Thomas: Sheila. Are you responsible for getting brooke to drink?

Sheila: I wasn’t going to say anything to you about any of that, but the way that you were talking to me, telling me that– that I wasn’t welcome at steffy’s and that I needed to stay away from steffy and finn? From hayes?

Thomas: Yes. But what? Were we supposed to just, like, roll out the welcome mat for you because you got brooke to drink?

Sheila: Your parents are getting back together again, aren’t they? Ridge has finally realized that his life would be so much better with taylor. So, yes, I do think I deserve a little respect here. Because none of that would be happening if I hadn’t put things in motion.

Thomas: You got an alcoholic to drink. Real respectable.

Sheila: It’s a beautiful thing. Bad things happen to bad people. Brooke had it coming. That bitch deserved every last drop.

[ Brooke sighs ]

Ridge: You chose deacon

over me.

Brooke: No. No,

I didn’t do that. No.

Ridge: I told you,

he was going to put a wedge

between–I told you he was

going to ruin everything.

And you invited him

into our house.

Into our bed, logan,

into our bed.

It’s gone,

there’s nothing sacred.

I can’t do this anymore.

Deacon: Brooke? Are you okay?

Brooke: You shouldn’t be here, deacon.

Deacon: I’m thinking I’m exactly where I need to be.

Ridge: I know I said not to worry about thomas, but now I keep thinking about this being surprised by something. What does that mean?

Taylor: I don’t know. You sure it wasn’t like a happy surprise?

Ridge: It didn’t sound like it on the phone. But you know what? Whatever it is… I’m sure he’ll tell us when he’s ready. Right?

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Yeah.

Thomas: I don’t understand. You weren’t there, were you?

Sheila: I was nowhere near.

Thomas: Then you couldn’t have had anything to do with brooke drinking. You’re making it up.

Sheila: No, I’m not. I get full credit for her slipping off of the wagon. While you guys all sat around wringing your hands, lamenting over brooke’s position in your life? You know, I took action. Your parents have another chance together because of me. So stop your threats and stop telling me that I don’t belong. It might do you good to adjust your attitude and be a little more thankful that I’m around. I’m the kind of person you want working for you, thomas. Not against. Just ask brooke.

I may have moderate to

severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Sheila: This is our little secret, right? What I did to brooke? You know your father, and if he thinks that brooke was the victim, he’s going to run right back to her. Do you really want to put your mother through that kind of pain?

Thomas: Tell me how you did it. How did you get brooke to drink?

Sheila: No, no the less you know, the better. You need to stay innocent in all of this, all right? There was a problem, her name was brooke, and I took care of it. You know… a lot of what I did, I did because of you… because of your family, what I– what I did to you when you were young, taking your mother away from you and letting brooke just move right in. She’s threason ur parents hav en apart allse yrs. Thanks to me, brooke is going to be permanently out of the picture. Unless you open a door for him to go back to her. And I know you don’t want that to happen. I know you want to see your parents reunited. You just think of the future your parents could have, together, the future… that you can give them, if you just keep silent. Do you understand? Not a word of my involvement. Not a word to anyone.

Deacon: I know you must feel like you’re alone right now, but you’re not. I’m here.

Brooke: Thank you.

Deacon: It’s just hard to believe that he would take off like that. Just because you dared to tell him that I didn’t do anything to you.

Brooke: That was just the breaking point.

Deacon: I can only imagine how painful this is. It’s got to be hurtful having him go back to taylor and his family that he has with her.

Brooke: Yeah, yeah, that’s very hurtful. But it’s also understandable. I mean, he told me over and over again about his concerns about you, his feelings. And I didn’t listen. So I can understand why he reacted the way he did. Why he left me alone like this.

Deacon: Hey. You’re not alone. Not as long as I’m here.

Ridge: That’s it. One vanilla one caramel, but the caramel one you– yes, it’s a little complicated,

Taylor: It’s not complicated.

Ridge: It’s almond milk, very hot, and light on the syrup, just two pumps of that and that’s it. And make sure there’s a sleeve on the cup so it doesn’t get too hot. I know. Believe me. Thank you. Okay, thanks.

[ Sighs ]

Taylor: Very good. How do you remember that after all these years?

Ridge: I don’t know. I forget things, names, phone numbers, birthdays, but your latte order, it’s– it’s stuck. And if you want the pizza, I got that covered too.

Taylor: Yeah, that’s right extra–

Ridge: Extra– no.

Taylor: No.

Ridge: Extra sauce, easy on the cheese.

Taylor: You remember better than I do.

Thomas: Did someone say pizza? Because you can count me in.

Ridge: Hey, son.

Taylor: Hi.

Thomas: It’s good to see you both. Like, you’re so relaxed, it has been such a long time since you’ve been happy and laughing.

Ridge: Well, your mother definitely lifted my spirits. New densify from crest pro-health.

Brooke: You know, I really do appreciate your support. I do. You have to know that. It’s just– can I ask you for a favor?

Deacon: Anything.

Brooke: When you’re criticizing ridge, it doesn’t really feel like support. And it doesn’t feel great, either, when you talk about ridge going to taylor’s, so. I need to own this. I need to take responsibility. And I’m the one who opened that bottle. I’m the one who started drinking, who insisted that you drink with me. And we kissed and I lied about it. Well, I just didn’t tell ridge about it, but that’s the same as lying, right? So once again, I let ridge down.

Deacon: I just wish you wouldn’t do this, I wish you wouldn’t– put all the blame on yourself.

Brooke: What– who else is there to blame? I married ridge, I took vows. I made a commitment to him to be faithful. What do I do? The second he leaves town, I’m opening the bottle and drinking and kissing and– kissing a man that he despises.

Deacon: Okay, just listen to me. It’s totally okay to take responsibility for that, but, you know, ridge can take a little responsibility himself he doesn’t have to act the way that he is, flying off the handle at me every time, or worse? Deciding that the grass is greener with taylor.

Brooke: Maybe it is.

Deacon: What?

Brooke: I don’t know. Maybe it could be.

Deacon: Why would you say that?

Brooke: I’ve been talking to hope about this. And maybe thomas and steffy are right. Maybe I will never be able to break this pattern, this behavior of mine. So, yeah, maybe taylor is a better woman for ridge.

Ridge: Well.

Taylor: Give that intern a raise because she knows how to place an order.

Ridge: Noted. Mm, should’ve gotten you some coffee, but I didn’t know when you were coming in.

Thomas: All good.

Taylor: Are you going to ask him?

Ridge: Oh–

Thomas: Ask me what?

Ridge: Uh, you were on the phone yesterday talking about a meeting.

Taylor: Yeah, you– you told your father something, something surprised you, something surprising.

[ Phone beeps ]

Taylor: Oh, shoot.

Ridge: What’s the matter?

Taylor: Well, it’s– it’s a patient that I’m worried about. I need to get back to the office. Well, unless there’s something there that you want to talk to us about. Something you want to tell us?

Thomas: No, no, no. Not yet, anyway.

Taylor: Okay. Okay. I love you.

Thomas: I love you too.

Taylor: All right. Thanks for the coffee.

Ridge: Any time.

[ Ridge sighs ]

Thomas: Have you ever smiled this much?

Ridge: Yeah, maybe it’s been a while. A long while.

Thomas: Looks good on you. I hope it stays that way. I’m steve, I lost 138 pounds in nine months on golo

Deacon: No one knows what’s going to happen in the future, brooke. I mean, maybe ridge will wind up with taylor. But that does not mean that she’s the better woman. And I never want to hear you to say that again. Listen to me, you’re emotional right now, and you let your guilt tear you down. And just because ridge can’t see how terrific you are doesn’t mean that I can’T. And come on, you’re– you’re brooke frickin logan, the brooke logan. Any man would walk barefoot across a desert of hot, broken glass just to be with you. It was too much with the broken glass, wasn’t it? I know they’re not all winners. But the point is… I just think you’re amazing.

Taylor: Yeah, it sounds like you’re finding some clarity. That’s wonderful. Hey, I have you– I have you next down for next tuesday. Is that right? Okay, good. Okay. You’re welcome. Bye-bye. Sheila.

Sheila: Excuse me. I was just wondering if you had a moment.

Taylor: I do, I do. What– what brings you by? I just can’t stop thinking about what you told me the last time. How you and ridge are are, are working your way back to one another. And taylor, that makes me so happy. I know that it makes you very happy, sheila, because you’ve made that very clear, but I never told you any of that. You’re jumping to conclusions.

Sheila: No, it was written all over your face then just as it is now. I think that you and ridge are going to have a very long, joyful relationship.

Taylor: Are you a psychic now? Is that it? I appreciate your confidence. Thank you.

Sheila: Of course I’m confident. And brooke crossed a line, she kissed deacon, and there is no way that ridge is going to go back to her.

Taylor: Yeah, well, you know, we’re– we’re taking it one day at a time. There’s, there’s a lot of emotions going on right now and ridge is– he’s confused and hurt, frustrated.

Sheila: Well, that’s a good thing that you’re there for him.

Taylor: Yeah, yeah, I am. It’s been nice spending time with him. It really has that– kind of feels like a dream.

Sheila: Well… then you’re living proof that dreams can come true. Because of one night, one crazy night. That’s all it took for brooke to destroy her marriage.

Taylor: Yeah, yeah. Brooke brooke messed up kissing deacon. But, you know, she was drinking that night.

Sheila: Of course, I haven’t forgotten.

[ Phone ringing ]

Taylor: Yeah. She still doesn’t know what possessed her to drink alcohol.

Sheila: And she probably never will.

Taylor: Hello. Oh, are you calling about the new assistant position? Thank you so much. Um, what is your name?

Thomas: Dad, I got to say, mom brings out the best in you.

Ridge: She always has. There’s something about her. I don’t know. She just makes things lighter in a way, you know, especially with all the stuff happening with brooke. Maybe this sounds selfish, but I think I’m at an age now where I deserve some happiness. And brooke self-destructs. Always has, I guess, and she makes bad choices, and why am I telling you this? I’m sorry, you’ve got your own stuff too.

Thomas: No, no, no, no. Come on, I’m always here for you.

Ridge: I know that, and I appreciate it. But something’s going on, what is it? What is this thing you talk about surprising something. What was it?

Thomas: Yeah, it’s very surprising. Something that could… change everything.

[ Phone ringing ] I have to take this. Hello.

Sheila: Have you said anything?

Thomas: Not yet.

Sheila: Well, then you better make that never. Because I’m here with your mom right now. I got to tell you, I have never seen her happier. You don’t want to ruin that for her, thomas.

Thomas: I got to go. My dad’s waiting on me.

Sheila: You’re with him? Don’t say anything, thomas. Promise me.

Ridge: Now, you just said it’s something that can change everything, and then you take a phone call. What’s going on? I need to know what it is.

GH Update Tuesday, March 8, 2022

General Hospital Updates

GH logo

Update written by Kathleen
Proofread by Suzanne

Trina comes into the classroom where Joss, Cam and Esme are talking. She asks what going on. They tell her about the video playing in the class. She says sincerely that she is so sorry. Esme responds, “are you, though?”

At Spring Ridge, Harmony is working with Ryan. Kevin walks up. Harmony says she knows he is Dr. Collins, Ryan’s brother. However, she doesn’t think she’s seen him visit before. He tells her he tries to limit contact with his brother. He asks her what her assessment is of Ryan’s condition. She lets him know that Ryan only communicates by blinking.

Britt is sitting in a room when Maxie brings in Bailey Lu. Brittremarks that it’s about time she meet her niece. Maxie asks if she will forgive her for keeping the secret.

At Sam’s house, Sam, Laura, and Drew are talking about how they could deal with Victor. They agree that the fewer people who know their plans, the better.  Dante knocks at the door. He sees she has company and asks if he should come back.

On Spoon Island, Victor tells Ava that Spencer is struggling and that she and Nik are making it worse.

Back at the prison, Harmony tells Kevin that Ryan can communicate pretty well with her using a letter board.  However, it’s not so easy with other staff members. Nik walks in and tells the guard that he wants to see Spencer. He knows that his Uncle Victor hired him to look out for Spencer, but he insists on seeing his son. The guard wonders if Spencer will want to see him. Just then, Spencer enters the room.

Britt tells Maxie there is nothing to forgive. She understands and is proud of what Maxie did.

At Sam’s, Laura invites Dante in on the plan. She must leave to meet Kevin. She tells them to not make a move without letting her know.

Victor tells Ava that Spencer was upset about not being able to visit his mother’s grave. He tells Ava it’s her fault because she pressed charges. He tells her she and Nik should rethink their vow renewal.

Spencer agrees to talk to Nik.

Esme continues to accuse Trina of being responsible for the video. Trina tells Joss and Cam they were set up.

Brittt tells Maxie that her mom is sure that Victor helped Peter with his misdeeds. Maxie tells her that right now she just wants to spend time with her kids. James and Georgie are in love, Maxie informs her with a smile. Britt can tell Maxie is, too. She means with Bailey, but Maxie thinks she means someone else.

Laura and Kevin meet at the Metro Court. Kevin tells her that Ryan refuses to communicate with him. It bothers him that he doesn’t know why.

Spencer tells Nik that Victor has urged him to give his dad a chance. Nik reminds Spencer that he is there because it is the anniversary of his mom’s death. Spencer tells Nik that he lost him twice, but Nik counters that he is the one who lost Spencer.

Ava snaps at Victor that their vow renewal is none of his business. Victor replies that she and Nik are so involved with each other that it’s hurting Spencer. She says that Spencer needs to be more concerned about his own love life than theirs.

She flashes back to her conversation with Laura about gaining Victor’s trust. He tells Ava that he has big plans but needs her help.

Harmony is discussing the plot of Wuthering Heights with Ryan as he stares at Spencer and Ryan talking across the room. Nik asks Spencer if they can start fresh. Spencer agrees because that’s what his mom would have wanted. Esme comes into the room and walks up to them. Nik says he will visit again next week and suggests that when Spencer is out of Spring Ridge, they can properly celebrate his birthday. Spencer asks Esme to forgive him for the way he acted about her parents. She assures him that it’s okay. Her grief his nothing compared to his, she tells him kindly. He also tells her that he knows she is sensitive about Trina, so he won’t bring her up again. Esme says she is not sensitive – she is just wise to Trina’s games.

When Nik comes home, Ava and Victor tell him they want to invite the whole family to the vow renewal. Victor offers to speak to Spencer. Nik tells him that he doesn’t mind him getting close to Spencer — as long as he doesn’t have an ulterior motive.

Young & The Restless Update

Recap written by Christine

At Newman Locke, Ashland told Victoria that he’d just gotten off the phone with her father. Victoria wanted to know exactly what Victor said. Ashland didn’t want to upset her, but she said it was too late. He said that Victor threatened to expose Ashland’s crimes to Victoria unless Ashland capitulated. Victoria thought Victor’s actions were unacceptable. Ashland wondered how many times Victoria’s family would claim to have uncovered something about his past that made him unworthy of her. Not to mention the implication that she was a weak-willed victim who’d fallen prey to a monster. Victoria agreed with all that, but she wondered why Victor would be trying to squeeze Ashland out, and why Victor would tell this messy and obvious lie. She thought there had to be something more going on.

Victoria guessed Victor’s happiness at the wedding was a farce. Ashland suggested that Victor was happy at the wedding because he thought Ashland would die soon. Or, Victor pretended to be happy at the wedding because he wanted the merger to happen, so he could take control of Locke Communications and force Ashland out. Victoria realized Ashland was theorizing that Victor was the one behind the claims that Ashland faked his cancer. Victoria didn’t think Victor was framing Ashland. She didn’t think her dad would stoop that low or hurt her. Ashland said he was just trying to think of alternatives. Victoria understood why Ashland’s mind would go there, and she could also see why Victor bought into this insanity so quickly, but she didn’t think Victor was the one who made it look like Ashland was faking his illness. Victoria couldn’t picture Victor creating this wide-range conspiracy; that was too dark, even for Victor. Ashland apologized for suggesting it. Victoria wasn’t mad at him. She was angry with Victor for trying to use this lie to push Ashland out of her life. Ashland held Victoria and said he was sorry Victor was putting her through this. She said to feel sorry for Victor, because she was going to fight him with everything she had. “He has no idea what I’m capable of. But I am not gonna let him get away with this,” she said.

At Newman Media, Victor said to himself that Ashland just made a big mistake. “No one threatens me. No one threatens my family and gets away with it.”

Nate and Nick met at Society, at Nick’s request. Nate asked if this was about Faith or Victor’s health. Nick said his father and daughter were doing fine. Nick noted things were going well for everyone health-wise – Sharon was in remission, and Ashland had a miraculous recovery. Nick asked if Nate had ever seen anything like it. Nate admitted that Ashland’s amazing turnaround was rare. Nate wanted a deeper look into the protocol.

Nick thought Nate was a great friend of the family, even though they sometimes didn’t deserve it. Nick didn’t like leaning on that friendship, but he didn’t have a choice. Nick swore Nate to secrecy, then he said it had been suggested that Ashland’s recovery was too good to be true. Nate said sometimes science could seem like a miracle. Nick explained that there were indications that Ashland never had cancer. Nate knew Ashland pretty well, and he found it hard to believe Ashland would do something like this. He asked if the person spreading this rumor even knew Ashland. At that point, Victor arrived and joined the discussion. Nate knew some of the doctors Ashland worked with, by reputation, and they were excellent doctors who witnessed Ashland’s condition firsthand. Victor said Ashland deceived the Newmans, Victoria and Nate. Nate just couldn’t believe this without irrefutable evidence The trio went to Newman Media, where Victor let Nate watch the interview from the Peruvian doctors who said they were paid to pretend to treat Ashland. Nate asked if Victor took the video to the police or if he was sure the people on video were even doctors. He asked what decent doctor would pretend to treat a patient. Nate asked what about the doctor in NY, or the lab that ran the tests and diagnosed Ashland with cancer. Victor tried to get information from them, but he’d been stonewalled. Nate said that was called medical confidentiality. Nate asked if Victor even knew where the money came from to pay off the Peruvian doctors. He said someone could’ve framed Ashland by making it look like the money was from him. He thought Victor and Nick were falling for a scam. Victor said there was more evidence about Ashland on the way – he was a dangerous fraud. Victor wanted Nate to help them protect Victoria.

Nick understood Nate’s position, and he conceded that they didn’t have all the pieces of the puzzle, but he said there was enough evidence to seriously question Ashland’s condition. Nate had seen Ashland experiencing symptoms, and they were friends. Victor knew this was a shock, and he knew that feeling deceived was a hard pill to swallow, but he said to think about Victoria. Nate asked why Ashland would do such a thing. Victor said Ashland wanted Newman Enterprises.

Victor said that if Nate took a look into Ashland’s past, he’d see why it was easy for Ashland to convince Victoria to fall in love with him and convince her to merge the companies. Victor was sure Nate wondered why Ashland suddenly befriended him. “He needed your medical expertise to substantiate his BS about his medical history,” Victor said. Nate resented the implication that he’d been used. Victor asked if Nate read the ChancComm article – Ashland faked his own death and assumed the identity of the real Ashland Locke. Nick said Victoria knew everything in that article was true, but she was under Ashland’s spell, and she bought his excuses. Nick said that they had to gather proof and make sure Ashland didn’t do any more damage to Victoria or the family, and they needed Nate’s help to do that. Nate asked if there was incontrovertible evidence that Ashland lied about his condition. Victor had damning evidence, but it wasn’t enough to make Ashland come clean. Nick said they needed Nate’s help as a medical expert. Victoria burst in. “You have finally crossed the line. There is no coming back from this!,” she yelled.

Chance came downstairs. He’d taken a nap after his first therapy session. Abby knew it was a draining experience and asked if she could help. He assured her he wasn’t shutting her out, but he needed some time to figure this out on his own. He said they could talk about it later. Chance had wanted to take Abby to dinner, and he was sorry it didn’t look like that would happen. She didn’t care about going out. She was just grateful he was going to therapy. She’d never understand what it was like for him in Spain, but she was grateful he was facing his trauma and fighting for himself and Dominic. They kissed, and she began to unbutton his shirt.

Later, they held each other, and Chance said Abby had no idea what this did for him. Abby felt the same way. She said they’d have a lifetime of experiences, and they’d watch their son grow up. He told her they had a lot to be thankful for, then he suddenly said he was hungry, so he’d make them a snack. When he returned, he said it wasn’t easy to talk to Dr. Huffman, but he thought it helped. The doctor saw three tours overseas. Abby thought that was one of the reasons Sharon recommended him. Chance said Dr. Huffman understood a lot of what Chance was going through. Chance said that when people said what happened in Spain wasn’t his fault, he didn’t believe it, though he tried to. He felt that if he tried to move past it, it would be another betrayal of his team. He thought his team deserved to be remembered. Abby silently wept as she listened. He didn’t understand why he felt like he had to hold onto all this guilt. He knew he needed help. He said the pain had been a wall between him and Abby, and he couldn’t let that happen. She knew how hard it was for him to talk about this stuff and open up. She thanked him for sharing it with her. She wanted to be his safe place. He said she was. “I am determined not to fail this mission,” he assured her.

Faith was hanging out at Mariah and Tessa’s place. She asked how they knew they were in love. Mariah didn’t think there was a moment to pinpoint. She thought they both knew before they could admit to to each other. Tessa said that being in love was great, but it could be really scary. Faith shifted gears and asked how many guests they’d have at the wedding. They were keeping it small, so they could spend time with each guest. Faith asked if Mariah and Tessa were worried that their relationship wouldn’t survive the separation when Tessa was on tour. Mariah said it was very hard when Tessa went on the road, but it was also not an excuse to behave badly. Mortified, Faith said she didn’t mean to bring up any bad memories. Tessa said it was okay – being a couple meant that you sometimes worked through things when you made mistakes. Mariah said when she lost her way, Tessa was understanding, compassionate and forgiving. Tessa said Mariah had done the same for her. Mariah said it wasn’t always easy or fun to be in a relationship, but it shouldn’t be agonizingly hard either. Tessa said that you found out what worked and what didn’t, so you could make things last forever. Faith didn’t know what forever looked like, except from her grandparents’ example. Her grandparents had been together a long time, but even they’d had breakups. Her parents once loved each other, but now Sharon was with the awesome Rey, and Nick wasn’t with anyone. It made Faith wonder if soulmates were really a thing, and if they weren’t, why risk ending up with a broken heart.

Mariah wasn’t sure she and Tessa had answers on the risks of falling in love. Tessa added that she and Mariah felt like soulmates because they couldn’t imagine being apart. Tessa conceded that it was risky to put your heart out there, because it could end in ruin. Mariah added that things might work out too, but you wouldn’t know until you took the chance. Mariah asked if this was about Faith and Moses. According to Faith, things were really good with Moses, like life made more sense when he was around. But she knew things could change when they went to college, even though she didn’t want it to. Mariah said when you found the one, it could be reassuring, but sometimes things didn’t work out. Tessa said letting yourself fall in love required bravery and trust.

Noah showed up at Crimson Lights with a beautiful woman his age hanging all over him. He introduced Sharon to Cindy and explained that they were there to get some espresso before heading to the club. Cindy had already heard a lot about Sharon. She showered Sharon, Noah and Crimson Lights with compliments. It became apparent that Cindy didn’t actually know Noah well, because she called him Noel. Sharon asked about Cindy. She had a day job, but social media was her passion. Sharon asked if this was the woman Noah knew from his old days at Walnut Grove. Cindy wished she’d known him back then, but they just met today. Cindy said she and Noah had a meet-cute when they collided on the street while each was texting on their phone. Their phones went flying, and her screen broke, and he fell. They ended up going into a nearby cafe together and having a meal. She called him Noel again. He corrected her, and she acted like she’d been calling him the right name all along. Faith came in and met Cindy. Cindy joked that she was meeting Noah’s whole family on the first date.

Back upstairs, Mariah commented about her little sister pondering love and forever. Tessa said that wasn’t on her mind when she was that age. Mariah knew Tessa didn’t have it easy when she was a teen. Tessa said she’d been dealing with the chaos of her sister and parents. She noted that Mariah didn’t have it easy either. Mariah said she’d been too busy sleeping on friends’ couches and avoiding going home to the woman who raised her. They noted that Faith didn’t have it easy either, given all she’d dealt with. Mariah was glad that Faith got to focus on normal teenage stuff now. Mariah was touched by what Tessa said about their relationship. Mariah knew she put their relationship to the test the last few months. Mariah said Tessa didn’t have to be strong for both of them anymore. Mariah was back on her A game. Mariah admitted she’d been scared about Dom being sick, and it made her wonder what would happen if their future child got sick, if they even got to be parents. Mariah said her talent was worrying about things that hadn’t happened. Tessa said the world was scary, and that was why she was glad to have a partner to help her through it. She was glad to return the favor. They hugged.

Faith and Sharon went to the patio and talked about Cindy. Sharon thought Cindy seemed fun, and she said Noah seemed to be meeting a lot of new people in town. Faith thought it would be nice if Noah found someone. She said maybe seeing Mariah and Tessa happy put the idea of settling down into Noah’s head. Noah walked out and said no one was looking to settle down. Noah thought Sharon and Faith needed something more exciting to talk about. Faith said Noah didn’t have to settle down with Cindy – love could be scary, but you had to be brave. Faith said she was going to go vet Cindy, and she went inside. Noah had a feeling what Sharon was thinking. He conceded that he’d been with the woman from Walnut Grove the other day, and now Cindy tonight, but he was young, and he was supposed to go out and have fun. He asked her not to make this weird or find a reason to worry about him.

Inside Crimson Lights, Faith thought it was interesting that Cindy was a social media influencer. Tessa walked in, and Cindy was starstruck. She knew every lyric and she’d been to almost all Tessa’s concerts in the area. Tessa thought she’d seen Cindy at some of the shows. Cindy was sure Tessa was just humoring her. Tessa said that Cindy had a friendly smile, and she was usually drawn to people like that when she was performing. Cindy squealed in delight. Noah and Sharon returned. Cindy wrapped her arm around Noah again and told him that this was turning into one of the best dates of her life. Cindy said she and Noah were going to the club on market street, and she invited Tessa and her fiancee to come along. Noah was sure they had plans.

Cindy asked Noah if he was having as good a time as she was. Before he could fully say he was, Cindy screamed because “the other half of Teriah” arrived. Cindy couldn’t believe this was happening. Noah said Mariah was his sister. Cindy read online about Mariah getting on stage and professing her love for Tessa. “I died!,” she exclaimed. Cindy asked Noah to get her another espresso. Cindy wanted Mariah to tell her all about her relationship with Tessa.

Tessa told Noah that Cindy seemed cool. He said he forgot what he was missing being by himself so much. He told her that, like Faith said, Tessa and Mariah were couple-goals. He was trying to have some fun, and he’d leave the true love to the experts.

Devon: Uh-oh, a bath in the middle of the day — I hate to ask. Why?

Abby: He tried sweet potatoes and peas for the first time.

Nick: So what’s the game plan? What’s dad’s next move?

Adam: I couldn’t say.

Nick: Is that code for “i know what it is, but I’m gonna keep it quiet”?

Adam: Look, I understand why you would be suspicious after everything that went down in Tuscany, but honestly, I do not know what dad has in store any more than you do.

Nick: Alright, I guess we’re both in the dark.

Adam: I mean, if you want me to speculate, I’d be happy to. Victor said he was gonna try to force Ashland’s hand, so he’ll probably try to get him to confess or get him to turn himself in to the police.

Nick: Why would the police get involved? Is faking an illness a terrible and awful thing to do? Yes, but it’s not against the law.

Adam: He used the fabrication to trick Victoria into marrying him — that is fraud.

Nick: Okay, grounds for annulment, but is it a crime? Victoria can invalidate the marriage, but it’s gonna be very difficult for her to get him out of her life for good. He owns half of Newman/Locke.

Adam: Yeah, he went through a lot of trouble and deception to make the merger happen.

Nick: If he goes, it won’t be quietly.

Update written by Joseph

Gwen pleads with Ava not to turn he rin to the police, arguing that they are in this together. Ava says she helped her out but this mess is all Gwen’s and she got dragged down to the station. Ava adds that this was all for nothing since if Chad brought Abigail back from that island, then Sarah can’t be far behind..

Sarah walks through the town square and sits at the bench, looking at the Tom and Alice plaque. Sarah brings up that people keep saying she is their granddaughter Sarah, but she is not. She’s Renee DuMonde and she’s here to take her life back and finally be with the man she loves. Xander then comes out from the Salem Inn and is shocked to see Sarah.

Kate finds Mr. Shin at the DiMera Enterprises office. Mr. Shin informs her that Gabi, Jake, and Johnny called a shareholders meeting for this morning. Kate notes that they didnt’ tell her and planned it for a time when Tony and Chad aren’t in town and EJ is in prison, so she thinks they are going to make a play. Kate declares that whatever it is, they’re not going to get away with it.

Gabi gets dressed for the meeting while Jake wants her to get back in bed. Gabi says they can’t have any distractions as everything is riding on today. Jake agrees to get dressed, but says tonight they are celebrating. Jake goes to get ready while Gabi remarks to herself that she will be celebrating, getting rid of his lying, double-crossing ass.

Devil Johnny gets ready for the meeting and says it’s time for all hell to break loose at DiMera. Johnny tries to fight off The Devil from inside. The Devil calls Johnny his puppet and tells him to go away as he has work to do. Johnny refuses to let the Devil hurt any more people he loves. Devil Johnny then drops to his knees in pain. The Devil warns him about what happens if he fights him. Johnny says Marlena kicked him out, so he will too. The Devil argues that Marlena and John drove him out with love but he’s not worried about Johnny because he only loves himself enough. Johnny calls that not true. The Devil tells Johnny to go away. He then gets a call from Gabi, who asks if everything is okay. Johnny asks if they are all ready for today. Gabi says she’s more than ready and assures that Jake doesn’t suspect a thing. Johnny tells her to keep it that way because they need his vote. Gabi declares that Jake is going to get what he deserves and she can’t wait to witness it.

Xander tells Sarah that Jack told him everything. Sarah responds that it can’t be him. Xander tells Sarah what a relief it is to see her again as after all this time, he believed that she threw him over on his wedding day and jumped in bed with Rex, but it was never her. Xander is terribly sorry for all she went through in getting kidnapped by Kristen and trapped on an island all this time. Sarah accuses him of being part of the scheme to try to make her think she’s Sarah Horton. Sarah tells Xander to get away from her and stop calling her Sarah. Xander asks if she doesn’t know who he is. Sarah responds that she knows exactly who he is. Sarah questions Xander thinking anyone could forget who he is. Sarah calls him a despicably, lying son of a bitch and says she knows him as Alex and she wants a divorce. Sarah says she fell for his act and was foolish enough to marry him which was the worst mistake she ever made. Xander asks if this is some kind of joke as he doesn’t understand. Sarah tells him that she is Renee DuMonde and she intends to marry the love of her life, Tony DiMera, as soon as he divorces Anna. Sarah says she is going to speak to her lawyer, Don Craig. Sarah tells him not to call her Sarah as she walks off. Xander pulls out his phone and calls Jack, asking him to finish the story he was going to tell him.

Ava tells Gwen that Abigail is back and she knows everything. Gwen points out that there is no case against Ava and they haven’t filed charges, so turning her in will only hurt her. Ava worries that she can be charged as an accessory. Gwen argues that they have no proof. Gwen encourages that Ava has beaten murder charges, so she asks if she’s really afraid of this. Ava responds that she’s tried to build a different life for herself, so she’s not throwing it away or going to prison. Ava adds that Rafe is not on her side anymore. Gwen says she still has her back, as long as Ava has hers.

Kate asks Mr. Shin how many people they are expecting. Mr. Shin goes over EJ being in prison while Tony and Chad took the corporate jet on personal business. Kate argues that Abigail was kidnapped. Mr. Shin says it seems there is always a crisis in the DiMera family. Kate says that Chad and Tony are on their way back, so they can postpone but Shin says he has a flight to Hong Kong at noon, so he can’t push this back. Kate asks why they called this meeting but Mr. Shin says he’s not at liberty to discuss.

Johnny tells Gabi that Jake will never know what him. Gabi quickly finishes and hangs up as Jake comes back in the room. Jake asks what that was about. Gabi says she was just going over plans with Johnny. Jake reveals that he heard her say that he’s going to get what he deserves. Gabi claims that by the end of the day, Jake will be CEO of DiMera Enterprises.

Tony enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion, surprising Johnny who thought that he was out of town. Tony reveals that they found Abigail and got back to town. Tony wants to speak to Johnny about the house but Johnny says he’s in a hurry. Tony guesses he’s having a meeting with his producer which Johnny goes along with. Tony asks how the movie is going. Johnny says it’s great and he’s already working on the sequel. Johnny then hurries out of the mansion.

Kate asks Mr. Shin what’s going on with Gabi and Jake. Mr. Shin says he has not been briefed about the meeting. Gabi and Jake arrive, so Kate questions why she was not told about the meeting. Gabi brings up Kate ousting Jake from the company and not wanting to see her. Jake says they will get started when Johnny arrives. Kate suggests Chad and Tony could join them remotely but Johnny arrives and claims that Tony and Chad have been delayed due to weather. Mr. Shin adds that he can’t postpone the meeting. Gabi says they don’t want to. Johnny assures they can do the meeting without the rest of his family. Johnny says to get the show on the road.

Chad returns home to the DiMera Mansion and tells Tony that Abigail is relieved to be home. Chad mentions that they are both very grateful for his help in tracking her down. Tony is glad everything worked out. Tony assumes Jack and Jennifer are on their way back to Boston which Chad confirms. Tony asks what Chad found out from Ava. Chad says that Ava is still being held for questioning and not giving up the name of her accomplice.

Ava tells Gwen that Chad is never going to let this go, so she asks how Gwen will help her without confessing. Gwen swears not to tell a soul that she helped Kristen escape police custody. Ava asks if she’s threatening her and warns that if she did tell anyone, she’ll tell everyone that Gwen bashed Abigail over the head at the airstrip and that she knew about Sarah being kidnapped. Gwen warns that if Ava does that, she’ll let it be known that Ava set up Rafe on made up charges. Ava asks if they are going there now. Gwen brings up how many hours Melinda spent on that case and how she would feel about the woman who made her look like a complete fool. Gwen asks how Rafe would react to finding out what Ava did. Ava warns her that it would be a mistake to threaten her. Gwen says she’s just pointing out that they both have secrets. Ava argues that she can’t prove a thing. Gwen asks if she’s sure about that. Gwen suggests Ava keep her mouth shut and she will do the same. Gwen then exits the interrogation room.

Jack informs Xander about the drug making Sarah so delusional that she thinks she’s a completely different person. Xander says he will bring her back to reality. Xander thanks Jack and hangs up to go after Sarah. Sarah tells him to leave her alone. Xander tells her that Renee DuMonde was murdered by a serial killer. Sarah asks how he got involved in this scheme. Xander says that Renee has been dead for years. Sarah brings up other people being brought back to life in Salem. Sarah says she only cares about divorcing him and getting Tony away from Anna. Xander wishes he could get through to her and that she could remember how much they love each other. Sarah argues that he’s incapable of love and just wanted her inheritance. Xander says he’s not Alex, he’s Xander, and just wanted to make her happy. Sarah remarks that only Tony can make her happy because her heart will always belong to him. Xander shows her a photo of them on his phone and asks if she remembers it.

Gwen walks outside and asks God if this is her punishment for all the revenge she tried to get and the misery and suffering she’s gone through. Gwen wonders that even if Ava doesn’t rat her out and Sarah comes home, can it get any worse? Ned Grainger then appear and says it can always get worse as he asks if she remembers him.

Tony hopes Chad finds out who was behind this nightmare. Chad assures that he will and they will pay. Chad mentions running in to Anna upstairs and that she seems pretty upset about the whole Sarah/Renee situation. Chad knows it will be rough for awhile since Abigail took months to recover. Tony informs Chad that Sarah took off from the hospital which Chad says is not good. Tony agrees and then reveals that Sarah insisted on moving in which shocks Chad. Tony explains that she would at least be safe here and they can try to get her treated. Chad says no wonder Anna’s head exploded. Tony tells him about how Sarah just barged in. Chad asks where Sarah is now. Tony responds that she’s out there hiring him a divorce lawyer which Chad laughs at, saying it sounds like such a mess. Tony talks about how Renee was a passionate woman but now Sarah is channeling the same DiMera determination. Tony says unfortunately, he seems to be indulging in her delusion to avoid an all out war. Chad comments on how Anna feels. Chad says they have no idea what other drugs Kristen was feeding Sarah, but she’s here now, so maybe being in a familiar place will jog her memory. Tony hopes Sarah gets back to her old self soon.

Xander asks Sarah if the photo looks familiar to her but she says not at all. Xander points out that it’s a picture of them together. Sarah claims to have never seen it before and says the woman in the picture is Sarah Horton, but she is Renee DuMonde.

Mr. Shin starts the shareholders meeting and calls upon Jake to start. Jake says they have two motions; first is to elect Victor to the board of directors which Kate questions, since he’s competition. Johnny explains that the goal is to lull Victor in to a sense of security and then steal Titan from under him. Kate questions it being that easy and asks when the three of them started working together. Johnny says they have common interests. Mr. Shin asks about the second motion. Jake says the second is removing Chad as CEO with Jake replacing him. Kate declares she won’t allow that, so that won’t be happening. Gabi announces that she has two things to offer.

Gwen questions where Ned came from and if he’s been stalking her. Ned admits that he has and points out that Chad and Tony tracked him down, but he left Gwen’s name out of it and he didn’t do it for free so now it’s time for her to pay the price.

Xander questions Sarah not recognizing herself in the picture. Sarah insists it’s not her. Xander brings up that Renee would be about 65 years old if she were still alive. Xander says he can’t believe this. Sarah argues that everyone else needs help, not her. Sarah tells him to get out of her sight because she’s going home to the man she loves, Tony. Xander asks her to please wait.

Chad tells Tony that he could ask Abigail to try to get through to Sarah. Tony acknowledges Abigail going through a similar experience. Chad offers anything they can do to help. Tony thanks him and says he appreciates it. Chad asks if he told the rest of the family yet. Tony says he tried to tell Johnny but he seemed to be in a hurry to meet with his movie producer. Chad decides he should get to the office and hopes he didn’t miss too much while they were gone…

Jake questions Gabi as to what’s going on since he doesn’t remember discussing any amendments. Kate calls this very interesting. Jake asks what this is about. Gabi brings up Jake amending their last plan by going to Mr. Shin about ousting EJ without even talking to her first. Jake thought she trusted him. Gabi says she did and asks if he trusts her. Jake says he does which Kate calls a mistake. Jake asks Gabi why she’s doing this now. Gabi thought it would be more efficient. Gabi suggests instead of adding Victor to the board, they elect Johnny, and propose electing her as CEO of DiMera instead of Jake. Jake gets upset and asks what the hell this is. Jake asks what Gabi is doing. Gabi responds that there’s been a change of plans. Kate remarks that she told him not to trust her. Mr. Shin calls for a vote. Jake says they aren’t ready yet but Gabi says they are. Kate says she’d like Jake to get what he deserves, but she’s not going to let Gabi take Chad’s rightful place at DiMera. Gabi and Johnny responds that they can’t do anything. Kate asks how Johnny could do this to Tony and Chad when they’ve been so good to him. Johnny remarks that he’s a chip off the old block after all. Kate declares that she and Jake won’t be voting. Gabi says she and Johnny will vote while Johnny also has EJ’s shares. Kate asks if Mr. Shin is still on Jake’s side. Jake is surprised to see Kate come to his defense. Kate says it’s what’s right for the company. Kate says now would be a tie unless someone comes in to break the tie which means the status quo stands.

Gwen asks how Ned wants to make her pay. Ned responds that he wants one million dollars or else he will sing to the authorities and Xander. Gwen pleads with him not to say anything. Ned says he won’t if he gets his money. Gwen tells him that she will get him the money, but he will need to do something for her first. Ned argues that she’s in no position to make demands. Gwen explains that she doesn’t have money but Ava has access to the Vitali fortune. Gwen mentions that Ava is at the police department so if Ned can get her out of this mess, she promises to get him his pay day.

Xander tells Sarah that they were going to get married. Sarah pulls away from him. Xander wants to take her to see Maggie. Sarah calls him Alex Marshall. Xander complains that he doesn’t even know who that is. Sarah calls him a two faced bastard and says she never wants to see him again as she storms off. Gwen then walks up and calls out to Xander, asking if he’s alright. Xander informs her that he just saw Sarah.

Kate asks Mr. Shin if he’s voting for Jake since he knows it’s what is right for the company. Devil Johnny uses his power to overcome Mr. Shin, who then votes for Gabi to pass the motion. Kate and Jake can’t believe it while Gabi and Johnny celebrate. Jake questions Mr. Shin, who says that EJ is in prison while Chad and Tony abandoned their posts so it’s time for a change. Jake questions how Gabi could betray him like this. Gabi argues that Jake betrayed her first by going to the board to have Stefan’s shares transferred to his name. Jake says he didn’t do that. Gabi says Johnny showed him the papers. Jake argues that Johnny must have forged it just like he stole Maggie’s phone to text him. Gabi asks how he explains that she heard him telling Maggie that he only cared about the CEO job and that he didn’t care if she got Titan. Jake argues that he never met with Maggie. Gabi says she was there and heard every word. Gabi calls Jake a liar and a loser, so her first move as CEO will be have to security throw him out. Jake says none of this makes any sense. Johnny tells Gabi to get settled in her new office while he takes care of Jake.

Sarah goes to the DiMera Mansion and greets Tony. Tony asks if he can get her anything. Sarah hugs him and says she wants him to divorce Anna. Sarah adds that she tried to find Don Craig but no one has seen or heard from him in 35 years. Sarah says she did schedule an appointment with a lawyer and mentions running into “Alex Marshall”. Sarah adds that she also spoke to the lawyer about evicting Anna but Tony says no. Tony tells her that she can’t evict Anna. Sarah says it’s imperative that she does because she will not spend another night having Anna in bed with the man she loves.

Xander explains to Gwen that Sarah never really dumped him as it wasn’t her on the day of the wedding or the second time as she has been held captive on a deserted island this whole time. Gwen asks if Sarah wants to pick up where they left off. Xander says no which Gwen questions. Xander suggests they go to their room where he will try to explain because it’s kind of a long story.

Ned enters the interrogation room, disguised as a lawyer for Ava. Ava questions what is going on. Ned reveals that Gwen sent him to negotiate a deal with the district attorney and they have an appointment with Melinda shortly, after which Ava will walk out a free woman and suggests she leave by plane. Ned warns that his fees are steep but Gwen says Ava is good for it. Ned asks if he can count on her for payment. Ava confirms that he’s hired.

Chad goes to the DiMera Enterprises office and finds Gabi, who informs him that he is out and she is the new CEO.

Johnny laughs at Jake. Jake doesn’t know how he pulled this off but he knows he was behind it. Johnny mocks his ideas and says Jake can blame him but he just threw everything away. Johnny argues that Jake is powerless and impotent. Johnny tells him to get out before he throws him out. Jake says no, so Johnny threatens to call security. Jake grabs Johnny, who then turns in to the Devil and demands Jake get his hands off of him.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nate: Ashland, hey. How are you?

Ashland: Uh…fine, fine. Good to see you, nate.

[ Chuckles ]

Nate: Glad I ran into you. I was gonna call you. I’ve been thinking a lot about your proposal that I come and work for newman/locke.

Ashland: Really?

Nate: What you said about the difference I could make in the world, using the company’s resources to have an impact on healthcare on a global scale, really excited me.

Ashland: I thought you might find that appealing.

Nate: Of course, we need to discuss the details of the job before I could officially commit, but I’m leaning towards yes.

Ashland: Fantastic. Good to see you, nate. We’ll talk.

[ Clears throat ]

Nate: Is there a problem?

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: Tell me what? What is it that dad is supposed to say to me?

Nick: What do you mean? Dad — dad talked to you. You already know.

Victoria: Do I?

Nick: Look, I didn’t come here to cause you problems, vick. I just wanted to see how you’re doing.

Victoria: Why are you not telling me the truth? That is the one thing that I can always count on with you. No matter what, even if we’re disagreeing, you never lie to me.

Nick: What am I lying about?

Victoria: You didn’t come here to check on me. You are concerned about me for some reason, so tell me — what is it? Alright, then I’m gonna find out for myself.

Nikki: Oh.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Vick, is this necessary?

Victoria: You have all made it necessary by conspiring behind my back.

Nikki: Conspiring?

Victor: I know you’re angry with me, but there’s no reason for you to throw accusations around.

Victoria: Well, then will someone please tell me what’s going on?

Victor: You already know what’s going on. I asked you and ashland to hold off on signing that binding contract that makes both of you co-ceos. Let’s find out how his health is doing, how he’s recovering.

Victoria: I know what you asked me, but now I need to know what you’re keeping from me.

Phyllis: This is it. I mean, this is the address that was mentioned in all those mysterious texts.

Jack: This is keemo’s house.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Yeah, somebody obviously wanted you to come here.

Jack: I didn’t think I’d feel this nervous. I…I don’t know, maybe it’s the unknown and not knowing who or what’s gonna meet me on the other side of that door. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Phyllis: Okay.

Jack: Hello! No one’s home.

Phyllis: Well, it seems that way. Um…

Jack: Well, we can’t —

Phyllis: It’s unlocked.

Jack: Well, no, what — we can’t just walk in.

Phyllis: Well, we didn’t come all this way to stand on the front step.

Jack: We didn’t come all this way to trespass either.

Phyllis: Okay, well, obviously the person who is sending you the texts, they wanted you to come here. They wanted you to walk in.

Jack: Well, there’s some world-class rationalization.

Phyllis: It’s not a rationalization. This is your son’s house. I mean, it — it’s basically — it’s not trespassing.

Jack: No, according to the law, this is trespassing.

Phyllis: No, it’s not. There was no next-of-kin mentioned in the obituary. There was no wife, no —

Jack: No, they didn’t even mention his half-sister and, my god, she’s been out of the country for decades.

Phyllis: Okay. So since nobody else was mentioned, you might be the next-of-kin.

Jack: I don’t know, it just — it just doesn’t feel right.

Phyllis: Jack, we didn’t come all this way for nothing. We need answers. You need answers. This is where we start.

Jack: [ Exhales sharply ] Goal!

Jack: O-okay, let’s do this.

Phyllis: Okay. You first.

Jack: Hello! Hello? Is anyone home?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Huh. Doesn’t look like anybody’s here and, um, somebody was obviously packing.

Jack: Yeah, the question is who.

Phyllis: A friend?

Jack: God, I would like to think keemo had someone close in his life.

Phyllis: Maybe it’s the person who was sending the texts.

Jack: Doesn’t make sense. We have all these questions, no answers. Someone wanted me to come to los angeles to an empty house to find what? There’s nothing here. And just standing here, I feel like I’m trespassing.

Phyllis: Um…why would you feel that way? Listen, you just said there’s nothing here. It’s not like we’ve uncovered some deep, dark secret.

Jack: I feel like keemo wouldn’t want me here. He made it very clear he wanted no part of me in his life. He wanted nothing to do with a father at all.

Phyllis: Maybe you can think of this as a way to reconnect with him in some way?

Jack: That’s the thing — keemo died not wanting to reconnect with me.

Ashland: I’m sorry, nate, and please don’t read anything into my mood at the moment. Huh?

Nate: Is everything alright?

Ashland: Yes, everything’s absolutely fine, and I’m no less enthusiastic about the possibility of you joining us at newman/locke than I was the day I made the offer. I’m thrilled that you’re actually considering it.

Nate: I’m glad.

Ashland: We need to have a significant conversation about this. The problem is I’m late for an appointment, and that’s why I’m a little distracted right now, so how about if we plan on some dinner sometime this week? How’s that?

Nate: I’d like that, but are you sure you’re okay? You seem frazzled, and don’t take this the wrong way, but you look a little unwell.

Ashland: Don’t worry about me, I’m fine.

Nate: Yeah? You don’t sound fine. What’s going on?

Ashland: Nothing. It’s — I’m fine.

Nate: Okay, look, I don’t mean to pry, but I’m concerned.

Ashland: Seriously, it’s — it’s just…

[ Sighs ] Okay, okay. I — it’s stupid of me to try to fool you. I, um…I’m not feeling 100%.

Nate: What’s going on?

Ashland: The old symptoms — fatigue, occasional shortness of breath — they’ve come back. And it’s made me a little nervous.

Victoria: Nicholas assumed that dad had told me something, but when I asked what that something might be, he wasn’t very forthcoming.

Nick: I was just trying to explain —

Victoria: I think that maybe you were trying to cover something up. So tell me, dad, what is this about? Is this really about ashland becoming co-ceo or is there something else, given that you seem to be spying on us lately?

Victor: I don’t need to spy. My name is on this damn building.

Nick: Look, vick, you’re making a big deal out of this. It’s nothing. I thought dad had talked to you about not signing the co-ceo contract, but then I saw you react so I couldn’t be sure. That’s it.

Victoria: Nicholas, you don’t have any business knowing that information. You don’t even work here.

Nick: Well, I’m your brother, and I care about you. That means I care about how everything in this building affects you.

Nikki: We all care, darling. Nicholas is just looking after you.

Victor: Just as I do when i ask you to hold off on signing the damn contract. It’s better for you and ashland.

Victoria: Why?

Victor: What do you mean “why”? He just left to go home in the middle of the day to rest.

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] So what?

Victor: That’s why I believe he’s not 100%. I think you should leave the story of your positions and titles alone for now.

Victoria: For how long?

Victor: Until we find out how his health is doing. You’ve been running this company by yourself and done a damn good job.

Victoria: Ashland’s increased presence at newman/locke will only strengthen it.

Victor: You’ve assembled a very good team with him and your mother as coo. Why change that?

Victoria: I know there’s something else going on here. It’s just that none of you are willing to admit it. So until somebody wants to come clean and tell me, this conversation is over. And now I’m gonna go home and check on my husband, who’s feeling under the weather, and that’s all. And I’m telling you for the last time — stay out of my business and leave me and ashland alone. When I get a migraine,

Phyllis: Listen, I can’t possibly understand what you’re going through. I’m sure it’s just a swirl of emotions, but I just want you to know I’m here for you. Take all the time you need.

Jack: Thank you for that.

Phyllis: But I’m not gonna let you second-guess yourself, jack. I mean, you could’ve blown off those texts, and you didn’T. This is a journey you wanted to take, and…I’m here with you. It’s a way to reconnect with your son in some way.

Jack: Yeah, a little late for that, huh?

Phyllis: I don’t think it is. I mean, you can find out the man he became, the man you didn’t know. Hey, at least we could find out who’s been texting you.

Jack: That — that i definitely want to know.

Phyllis: Yes, and you deserve to know that.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: So we are not leaving. We’re getting some answers. We didn’t fly all the way here to spend the night in a hotel room and then leave the next morning. Let’s dig in and get the answers.

Jack: Yeah, if I left now, it — it would just haunt me. I want to know who reached out to me. More than that, I want to know something about keemo’s life. I…I want to know that the world he built for himself had some happiness in it, even if it didn’t include me.

Nick: So let me get this straight — victoria wants to make ashland her co-ceo.

Victor: His idea.

Nick: This guy’s unbelievable.

Victor: He is inching closer and closer to wanting to take over the whole damn thing.

Nikki: Allegedly.

Nick: Mom, don’t give him the benefit of the doubt. I mean, he’s lying about being sick, about getting some miraculous cure all so he can get his hands on the company.

Nikki: I am just saying, there may be other information that we don’t have.

Nick: We have enough.

Nikki: Alright, I admit, things aren’t looking good for ashland, and I advised victoria to not sign the contract.

Nick: Obviously, she didn’t listen. And clearly you haven’t told her that he’s lying about being sick.

Victor: I will not tell her anything unless there’s no other option left.

Nick: I’m just not comfortable keeping these secrets from victoria while you figure out how you’re gonna deal with ashland in whatever covert way you settle on.

Victor: I will take care of things.

Nick: I don’t doubt that, dad. But you don’t know how it’s gonna play out. Victoria’s already furious at us.

Victor: Too bad that she’s furious. Beats the alternative — that guy taking over our family’s business.

Nick: This is exactly why i wanted to just stay out of it. But I can’t turn my back on victoria, and I got to make sure that ashland gets everything he deserves.

Victor: Son, I told you, i will take care of everything.

Nick: I hope you’re right.

Nate: How often are you experiencing these symptoms?

Ashland: Not frequently.

Nate: What does that mean? Four or five times a day? Once a month?

Ashland: Couple times a week, maybe a little tired, a little light-headed, but it’s manageable.

Nate: Yeah, it’s manageable now, but what if it gets worse?

Ashland: [ Stammers ] Maybe it’s just a bug.

Nate: A bug, that’s your diagnosis?

Ashland: Okay.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t have your medical expertise, but I don’t really think there’s any reason to jump to the worst possible conclusion.

Nate: There’s every reason in the world to do that. You’re not in the position to take chances. You need to see your oncologist, have some tests run.

Ashland: I’ve already made that call. In fact, that’s the appointment I was talking about earlier. That — I’m on my way there now.

Nate: What are you waiting for? Go.

Ashland: You — I was going, and you stopped me, and now we’re talking.

[ Laughs ]

Nate: Would you like me to come along? You know, just for support. It might help to have a friend in the room who happens to be a doctor.

Ashland: No, that’s not necessary, but I really do appreciate the hell out of it. You are a good man, nate. I’ll tell you what. I will call you and tell you what happens at the appointment, and we’ll set up the dinner for later in the week because we need to talk about your future.

Nate: I look forward to that.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

Victoria: Hey. I just stopped by the house to check on you, but you weren’t there. Where did you go? I’m at crimson lights, and I’m getting ready to head back to the office, but I want you to call me, ashland. I’m a little bit worried about you. Hello, how can I?

Nikki: I think nicholas is right to be concerned. When you confronted ashland and demanded that he leave town, he didn’t blink. He didn’t confess. He didn’t have any remorse at all.

Victor: He’ll be gone soon enough.

Nikki: Well, he didn’t agree to leave.

Victor: He will if he knows what’s best for him.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] Victor, you have him trapped in a corner. And that’s when men like ashland are most dangerous. I mean, you know how he is. He — he won’t back down from a fight, same as you. And he’s desperate. I just worry that you have less of a handle on this situation than you think you do.

Victor: If he tries anything, I will show him no mercy.

Sharon: Well, hey, victoria. What can I get you?

Victoria: Coffee to go, please.

Sharon: Okay. Is everything alright?

Victoria: Yes, everything’s fine. I’m just busy. Has ashland stopped in here today?

Sharon: No, I haven’t seen him. Why? You seem worried.

Victoria: Well, maybe I am a little bit. He said that he wasn’t feeling well, and I thought that he went home to rest, but when I went to the house to check on him, he wasn’t there. I guess I ought to know by now that he’s not one to sit around doing nothing, even though he should.

Sharon: Yeah, some people don’t know when to stop. But I hope he’ll take care of himself.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Yes, me too.

Sharon: You know, if I see him, I’ll tell him that you’re looking for him, and then I’ll tell him to go straight home and rest.

Victoria: Thank you, sharon.

Nick: Hey. Can we talk?

Victoria: I was just leaving.

Nick: Just one minute.

Victoria: Okay, fine, one minute.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Look, I don’t like the way things unfolded at the office. I do not want to get caught up in the middle of something with you, dad, and ashland.

Victoria: It seems that you know more about what’s going on than I do, and you just don’t want to say anything to me.

Nick: I just — I need you to know that my only concern is you and that you can rely on me for anything. We haven’t been the same since your wedding, and I hate that. But don’t shut me out, alright? Can you meet me halfway on this?

Phyllis: Wow. Well, the rest of the house is as empty as this room.

Jack: Is this the room he spent most of his time in? Think he woke up early for california sunrise? Was there — was there laughter and music and raucous joy in this house or was this a quiet, contemplative space? I… that’s the hard part. I’m trying to piece together the life of someone that was very important to me, who I don’t — I don’t feel like I knew at all.

Phyllis: For what it’s worth, I think you’re doing a great job.

Jack: I should know so much more. I’m sorry, I… was this his favorite place to sit? Was this…was this where he’d read a book or where he’d write or… oh, my god.

Phyllis: What is it?

Jack: Oh, my god.

Phyllis: What?

Jack: These are letters to me. They all have the same return address — keemo nguyen, at this address. There’s no stamp. These were letters to me that he never sent.

Phyllis: I mean, it seems like he wanted to reach out to you. Listen, um…this is the only box in the place, so obviously it was left here for you.

Jack: Apparently.

Phyllis: Listen, um…I’m gonna leave you alone with this, okay? I saw a coffee shop down the way, and I’ll just — and you can give me a call.

Jack: No, no, no, no. I don’t want to be alone. Would you stay? I’d like you to be here with me.

Phyllis: Of course.

Covid-19 moves fast,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Victoria: I thought that we were getting back to normal, nicholas. And I really don’t want to lose the progress that we’ve made either, but after what happened today, it’s kind of hard to believe that you’re on my side.

Nick: I am, always.

Victoria: I still know that you don’t like or respect ashland, and it breaks my heart.

Nick: I’m trying. Alright? I’m really trying. Can you accept that?

Victoria: That’s all I want is for my family to accept ashland and to just respect my relationship with him and stop trying to undermine my happiness.

Ashland: What is going on here?

Victoria: Hi.

Ashland: [ Laughs ] Hello, sweetheart. I got your message that you were here. Hello, nick.

Nick: Ashland.

Ashland: Um, I couldn’t help but overhear what you were saying, and I just want to go on the record that victoria speaks for me as well. We both want the same thing. For you to see how much I love her and care about her and that I would do anything to make her happy.

Jack: He signs all of them with his birth name — “keemo.” Not hao. And he’s clearly working through all these conflicting feelings about me. I don’t think he ever intended to mail any of these. I think this was purely therapeutic.

Phyllis: I mean, I don’t want to pry, but if you want to share any of them, I’m happy to listen.

Jack: Yeah, let me show you something. “I said I’d forgiven you, and i tried to let everything that happened go, but after I left genoa city, something inside me could not let me be at peace.”

Phyllis: Okay. Does it make you feel better that he was conflicted?

Jack: Yeah, maybe a little. Here. Um… alright. “I want you to know that I’m sorry about those angry e-mails I sent. I became consumed by grief and rage I felt over the time I lost with my mother. I wonder how different things would’ve been if I’d known she was dying.” Luan didn’t want anyone to know that she was ill. She didn’t want to burden anyone. I… she didn’t tell me. I found out by accident. Kept it to myself.

Phyllis: Listen, that must’ve been very difficult for you to keep that from everybody, including her.

Jack: Yeah, I didn’t tell keemo because I thought I was honoring his mother’s wishes, and…our son could not, would not accept that.

Phyllis: Well, that was very difficult for you, I’m sure, keeping that secret. You know, and I’m sure that you thought maybe, with time, keemo would get past it.

Jack: NO.

[ Chuckles ] He…he kind of did. Is this it? Yeah. “I finally found some peace. I changed my name to hao nguyen. It was my maternal grandfather’s name. Now I’m honoring my mother’s memory. I am freed from the conflict of being jack abbott’s son. I feel like I’m on a new path.”

Phyllis: You’re a wonderful man. You are. And you’re an incredible father. You would’ve been an amazing father to keemo if he would have let you.

Jack: Well, it seemed he found a way to move on.

Phyllis: Did he really? Did he move on? Or did he just let this fester?

Jack: Is this the one? Yeah. “I’m no longer angry, but i can’t look back for fear that rage will return. So while I’ve forgiven you, i can’t ever have a relationship with you. It’s better for everyone. I hope that you can understand that and forgive me. Your son, keemo.”

Phyllis: Jack, you’re being very selfless. The path that keemo chose, it was good for him, it was not good for you.

Jack: No, it was not.

Phyllis: No.

Jack: I hate that he never felt comfortable enough to reach out to me, to respond to my correspondences. I’M… I’m glad at least he found some forgiveness in his heart at the very end.

Phyllis: How do you know it was the end?

Jack: Well, I — every one of these letters was written in the last 12 months. It’s as if he knew he didn’t have much longer.

Phyllis: Well, the obituary said that he died of a heart attack.

Jack: Yeah, and I know and that’s very sudden, but maybe he was diagnosed with some kind of condition, and…and that’s why he was working through all of this. Maybe, was this — was this about a health condition? Oh, god, there are so many questions.

Phyllis: And we’re gonna get the answers. We are. I promise you.

Victor: There, my darling.

Nikki: Oh, nate! How are you?

Nate: Excellent. Always good to see the two of you.

Nikki: Well, thank you. You as well.

Victor: You’ll be seeing more of dr. Hastings at newman towers.

Nikki: Oh?

Nate: I’m considering taking a job with newman/locke.

Nikki: You would really leave medicine?

Nate: Sometimes need to make a change to keep things interesting.

Nikki: Oh, well, it can get very interesting at newman/locke. But as the person in charge of operations, I’d prefer it didn’T. I — I like smooth sailing.

Nate: I promise not to rock that boat.

Nikki: Huh, wow. Well, I guess memorial’s loss is our gain. I hope I get to welcome you to the team.

Nate: Me too.

Victor: You mean the deal is not done yet?

Nate: No, I still have to hash things out with ashland. I saw him earlier, and we were trying to set up a time to talk things through.

Victor: You saw ashland today?

Nate: He was just here.

Victor: Oh. Huh.

Nikki: Um, how did he seem?

Nate: What do you mean?

Nikki: Oh, I don’t know, just physically, did he seem okay?

Nate: Last time we spoke, you were asking me about his condition.

Victor: Dr. Hastings, ashland is now a member of our family, you know. We’re concerned about him. And when we saw him earlier, he had a hard time breathing, so you didn’t see anything wrong with him?

Ashland: You don’t need to worry about victoria, especially where I’m concerned. And besides, she does not need protecting.

Nick: [ Clears throat ] That is good to know.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] You know, I think it would mean a lot to her if she knew you were on her side.

Victoria: I was just telling him that.

Nick: I’m always on her side.

Victoria: I want to believe that.

Nick: You should. It’s true.

Ashland: Well, that’s fantastic. I just want victoria to have anything her heart desires, so how about this, nick? Why don’t we all just work together, hmm?

Sharon: Ashland, nice to see you.

Ashland: Ah.

Sharon: I made your favorite. I’m sorry to interrupt, but i have some news about mariah and tessa I want to talk to you about. If you don’t mind that I steal him for a minute.

Ashland: No.

Nick: We’ll talk later. Hey, thanks for the coffee. I don’t remember ordering it.

Sharon: You didn’T. I just thought you needed it.

Nick: Okay, what’s going on with tessa and mariah?

Sharon: They have decided on a wedding idea, but that was just an excuse.

Nick: Excuse for what?

Sharon: I just really wanted to get you away from ashland. Nick, I’ve known you a long time, and I know that you were a split second away from doing something you would regret. You can’t go back in there.

Everyone remembers the

moment they heard,

Phyllis: The backyard is extraordinary. It’s gorgeous. There’s a garden and an orange tree, so many flowers. You want to go back there?

Jack: You know, I think we should leave.

Phyllis: Oh. I don’t think so. Look, there are so many more letters to go through.

Jack: You know what? It’s — it’s kind of overwhelming.

Phyllis: I’m sure it is. You can’t stop now.

Jack: You try to make the right choices, you…try to make the world a better place, you try to help, and you look back and all you can see…

[ Sighs ]

Phyllis: What is this?

Jack: What? What is it?

Phyllis: It’s a picture of keemo with two women and a young girl.

Jack: He looks so happy.

Phyllis: There’s something written on the back.

Jack: “Vietnam, june 2012.”

Nick: I was this close to losing it with ashland. You know, telling him what i think about him and all the lies he’s told. But it would’ve been a disaster. Thanks for interrupting.

Sharon: And you would’ve made a scene in my coffee house, and I can’t let that happen.

Nick: It would’ve just come back to bite me. I mean, ashland would’ve denied it, vick would’ve sided with him. She’s already on the defensive.

Sharon: Why do you say that?

Nick: I went to check on her earlier and kind of created this accidental minefield with her and the parents, but, uh… it’s okay ’cause dad has a plan.

Sharon: Of course he does.

Nick: I don’t know any of the details, but dad seems to think he can get ashland out of our lives for good without victoria ever knowing the truth.

Sharon: I’m just worried about the fallout from all of this. It’s gonna take a toll on your whole family. I’m so sorry this is happening.

Nick: Thanks. I really appreciate you pulling me away from that, and knowing that you are always there for me.

Sharon: Anytime.

Nate: Victor, you know how i feel about disclosing medical information.

Victor: Nate, you made your stance clear last time we talked.

Nate: So you can see why I’d be reluctant to give an opinion about ashland’s health.

Victor: But I’m not asking for test results. I just want to know if you thought he looked healthy.

Nate: He did seem a bit under the weather, but that could be stress or just a common cold. It’s best not to presume anything.

Nikki: You’re right, of course.

Victor: Thank you for stopping by.

Nate: Bye.

Nikki: Bye, nate.

Victor: What do you think?

Nikki: [ Sighs ] You mean the fact that ashland came here instead of going home like he said he would?

Victor: It was a lie.

Nikki: I know you think he’s lying about everything.

Victor: Because he is.

Nikki: Maybe he just wanted to stop and pick up some food on the way home. Maybe he wasn’t acting at all. Maybe he just isn’t feeling well.

Victor: Sweetheart, that’s the least likely of all possibilities, alright?

Nikki: I don’t know. I’m still struggling with the idea that he lied about his condition.

Victor: And I understand how you’d want to think that way, for victoria’s sake. I’m telling you he has deceived our daughter in the most profound way.

Nikki: What if the information that michael got in peru is wrong? I mean, maybe those doctors just said what they thought you wanted to hear in the hopes of a big payout.

Victor: Sweetheart, how long has michael baldwin been my lawyer? I trust that man.

Nikki: I understand that. I am just saying that we need to really be certain about this situation because the stakes are too high. So before you do anything, we need more information.

Ashland: I hope we were able to get through to nick.

Victoria: Time will tell. Right now, I’m still a little bit more concerned about you. If you’re not feeling well, you shouldn’t be out, you should be at home in bed.

Ashland: No, I’m — really, I’m much better now.

Victoria: Well, I’m still worried about you, and I hope that my father’s interference in our plans didn’t contribute to how you’re feeling.

Ashland: It was just a momentary thing. I’m fine.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Good. And I want you to know that I am still 100% committed to moving forward with the co-ceo arrangement. Have you signed the contract yet?

Ashland: Not yet. Um…

Victoria: Why not?

Ashland: Oh. Sorry. Mm, okay. Um, I’m sorry, where were we?

Victoria: I asked you if you had a chance to sign the contract.

Ashland: Right. Uh…no. Victoria…there’s something I need to tell you about your father.

Proofread by Anita

Sasha: [ Breathes sharply ]

Brando: Morning.

Sasha: Good morning. Mm, did I oversleep?

Brando: Mnh-mnh. There’s no such thing on vacation. You can go back to sleep if you want. We can have coffee later.

Sasha: Thanks, but I need to wake up. Mmm! That is good.

Brando: Mm-hmm. Making coffee is one of my many skills.

Sasha: The others being?

Brando: We have an entire vacation for you to find out.

Sasha: I can’t wait.

Brando: Well, we have a lot to celebrate. [ Sighs ] Maxie is finally home safe. Peter August is gone. And we get to spend time together. Just the two of us. This is exactly what we both need.


Professor Khan: Read chapter 8 for the next class. Be ready to discuss. See you next week. Uh, Ms. Robinson, a moment of your time. You seemed, uh, pretty silent in class today. Are you alright? That’s not like you.

Trina: Uh. There’s just been a lot on my mind.

Professor Khan: I know freshman year can be overwhelming, but you seem to be handling it well. You’re one of my few “a” students this semester.

Trina: Thanks.

Professor Khan: But remember — class participation is a third of your grade, and I’d hate to see you get lost in the shuffle.


Josslyn: Thanks for walking to class early with me. I know you have a lot going on at home.

Cameron: Doesn’t mean I can’t be there for you. Things still weird between you and Trina?

Josslyn: We’re roommates, and we barely see each other. A lot of that’s on me. I mean, between practice and team meetings, I’m really busy. But Trina only comes back to the room to sleep. She’s not returning any of my texts or my calls.

Cameron: Things have been weird since the cabin with Esme and Spencer.

Josslyn: They’ve only gotten worse since. And it’s all thanks to Esme.


Esme: Happy belated birthday.

Spencer: Are you crazy? You’ll get me in trouble.

Esme: Lighten up, boyfriend. I know you spent your birthday in here alone last night. That kiss is my present.

Spencer: And if the wrong guard sees you, it blows back on me.

Esme: I’m sorry to have bothered you. Lucky for you, I’m leaving. Class calls.

Spencer: Fine. See you around.

Esme:  Someone woke up on the wrong side of his prison cot this morning. What’s with the mood?


Sam: Hmm. I guess a day of hatchet throwing didn’t cheer you up.

Carly: It did. And you and Olivia were right. I definitely needed to blow off some steam. I’m sad today.

Sam: Why?

Carly: Been thinking about Courtney. Today’s the anniversary of her death.


Sonny: Hey, Courtney. It’s hard to believe how much time has passed since you left us. Your son is a full-grown man getting himself in trouble. I couldn’t make it last year because — well, I’m sure you know what happened. I like to think that you’re always watching out for me. But I just want to let you know that I’ve been thinking about you. And you’re still in my heart.

Nikolas: Mine too.


Ava: [ Chuckles ] I haven’t seen you in a while, Victor. Nikolas is joining me for brunch. If you’d like to join us, that’s fine.

Victor: Oh, uh, unfortunately, I-I can’t stay. I have some business I have to attend to.

Ava: Oh. Well, you — you’ve been keeping yourself scarce since — since Valentine’s Day.

Laura: Keeping a low profile. Trying to avoid being implicated in an ongoing investigation. That sounds right, doesn’t it?


Anna: Thank you so much for meeting me. Oh, I didn’t realize it was gonna be so cold out here.

Drew: Ooh. Too bad we weren’t in port Charles during the heat wave.

Anna: [ Chuckles ] I just wanted to talk to you in private.

Drew: Yeah. Your message sounded pretty urgent. What’s going on?

Anna: I just have this feeling that we’re headed for danger, and at the center of it all is Victor. And you.


Sonny: I didn’t expect to see you here.

Nikolas: Courtney was important to me, too.

Sonny: Yeah.

Nikolas: I loved her.

Sonny: Um, was it worth it, Nikolas? Breaking up your marriage to Emily and Jax’s to my sister for an affair? I’m just curious.

Nikolas: I loved Courtney. I was gonna marry her.

Sonny: So, if Courtney were still alive, you think you’d still be together?

Nikolas: I’d like to think so. In truth, I don’t know.

Sonny: Well, at least you’re honest. [ Laughs ]

Nikolas: I do know this, though. You know, Courtney, she’s always gonna be the mother of my son.

Sonny: Mm-hmm.

Nikolas: Nothing’s gonna change that. It’s just like Carly. She’s always gonna be the mother of your children.


Carly: You know, the Metro Court is named after her.

Sam: Yeah, I do know.

Carly: Wow. Courtney and I were really close. You know, and with Jax out of town and Spencer and Josslyn on the outs and my impending divorce from Sonny, I just feel like all my connections to Courtney are slipping away. And you don’t need to hear this. [ Laughs ]

Sam: [ Chuckles ] No, it’s — it’s true, though. No, Courtney and I were not the best of friends, but maybe if she would have lived, we would have become friends. I mean, if Elizabeth Baldwin and I can become friends, anything’s possible.

Carly: Hell sure did freeze over there.

[ Both laugh ]

Sam: Who knows? Maybe Courtney and I would’ve been able to bury the hatchet. Or throw a hatchet at a wall instead of each other. [ Chuckles ]


Victor: I’m sorry, Mayor Collins, but I have no idea what you’re referring to.

Laura: I don’t think it’s coincidence that Victor resurfaced at the same time Luke died and the Ice Princess was stolen. It’s all connected. Luke’s death was not an accident. And Victor was behind it.

Laura: There have been a lot of suspicious activities in Port Charles recently.

Victor: Is this your way of accusing me of helping Peter August escape? Because if so, I categorically deny having anything to do with it. Peter August was a blight on this city, and all of us are better off without him.

Laura: Well, you can deny it all you want. If you were involved in it, there will be a way to prove it.

Victor: I’ll take that as my cue to leave, shall I? Ava.

Ava: Mm.

Victor: It’s a pleasure, as always. Madame Mayor.

Ava: Well, that was fun. Do you want to tell me what’s going on between you and Victor?


Drew: So, I’ve been working under the same assumption — right? — That Victor is dangerous and that his agenda did not die with Peter. How did — how did you get there?

Anna: Liesl bugged Victor, and she overheard a conversation he had with you and Sam.

Drew: At the docks.

Anna: Yeah.

Drew: Yeah, Sam and I were convinced that Victor was trying to activate my old conditioning.

Anna: Exactly.

Drew: Does Valentin know about this? Did you mention this to him? Because we shared a cell in Crete for a little bit, and he seemed to have such solid insights into Victor.

Anna: Valentin’s out of commission right now. He was, um — he was abducted.

Drew: What?

Anna: Right before Peter escaped. And he turned up in an alley. He was drugged, disoriented, and he was still recovering from the gunshot wound in Crete. And, you know, he developed an infection. He’s at a clinic out of town, but he’s making progress. He’ll be home soon.

Drew: Well, good. I’m glad to hear that. Make sure you send him my regards next time you talk to him, okay?

Anna: Yes, yes. My wish is that we — we expose Victor and whatever his crimes are before Valentin comes home.

Drew: That is a tall order. I mean, we’re gonna have to move very quickly.

Anna: See, I just feel that Victor is going to exploit the father-son relationship and manipulate Valentin the same way that he’s co-opting the rest of his family.


Spencer: Sorry, I didn’t mean to take my anger out on you. Forgive me.

Esme: I get it. Spring Ridge may be minimum security, but it’s still a prison and you’re still incarcerated.

Spencer: It’s more than that. [ Voice breaking ] Today’s the anniversary of my mother’s death.   [ Crying, sniffles ] And even though I never knew her… I still feel that we have a connection. Every year, I made sure that there were flowers on her grave. And I’ve never missed a year…until now.

Esme: Hey. Your mother understands, Spence.

Spencer: It’s not about her understanding. It is about letting the world know that I remember her… …because my mother lives on as long as I keep up these little traditions. When I was talking to Trina about how she felt after she thought that her father had died, she said that she felt the same way.


Josslyn: I hate that there’s tension between me and Trina. All I did was call Esme out for playing mind games with her.

Cameron: And I’m sure you were very nice and polite.

Josslyn: Hey, my mom taught me that you can’t just ignore an Esme and hope that they go away. They’re like sharks looking for blood. So, the best way to deal with them is to punch them in the nose and hope they retreat.

Cameron: I believe the expression is to bop them on the nose.

Josslyn: Oh. It’s not how I do it. Trina. Uh, how brutal was Khan’s class?

Trina: Uh, lots of participation required today, so be prepared to be called on more than usual.

Josslyn: Hey, wait. Are you still mad at me for what happened with Esme the other day?


Esme: That’s a beautiful sentiment, but you don’t only need to keep your mother’s memory alive on the anniversary of her passing. I mean, you can visit her grave anytime you want and leave out flowers for her when you get out, which won’t be that long.

Spencer: True.

Esme: Besides, you were in boarding school for years. What did you do those times?

Spencer: Alfred and Ross left flowers on her grave for me.

Esme: Well, there you go. You can do that again. Or… I’d be more than honored to leave flowers for your mother.

Spencer: That’s not the point. The point is… …that I finally am here [Chuckles] In Port Charles, and that I should be able to do this for her, but I can’t! Because of the choices… …that I made. That I made.

Esme: I was only trying to help.

Spencer: But you don’t understand.

Esme: But Trina would?


Brando: You know… it is too bad we spent most of the night talking.

Sasha: You could have made a move.

Brando: Mm. Well, I was waiting for a signal from you. I didn’t want to pressure you.

Sasha: Anyone ever tell you what a great guy you are?

Brando: [ Sighs ] A great guy? That’s what you say to someone you want to put in the friend zone.

Sasha: Not in this case.

Brando: I missed you. I missed us.

Sasha: Did we have plans in town?

Brando: Um, lunch reservations, um, tickets to Maid of the Mist. Um. Or we could just hang out here.


Sonny: Carly and I may not be together, but she’s still a great mother to Michael, Josslyn, Donna, and Avery.

Nikolas: Ava is Avery’s mother, not Carly.

Sonny: I’m not here to argue with you, Nikolas. Especially in front of my sister’s grave. I’m just saying she would have been an amazing mother to Spencer if she had lived.

Nikolas: Courtney had a kind soul.

Sonny: Yeah.

Nikolas: She was patient as a saint.

Sonny: And you know what? I would have loved for Spencer to get to know her.

Nikolas: She would have had a good influence on him. She might have even negated the mistakes I made while raising him. Now you tell me I’m wrong, that I did the best that I could with Spencer.

Sonny: I wish I could do that if — if I believed it, but I’m not gonna lie.


Trina: Joss, I’m not mad at you.

Josslyn: Just too busy to respond to my calls or my texts?

Trina: Okay, maybe I’m a little annoyed. You made me collateral damage when you got up all in Esme’s face.

Josslyn: Oh, Trina, come on. You know that apology was as fake as she is. All I did was call her out on it.

Trina: And then you told her something I told you in confidence.

Josslyn: Look, I said I was sorry for that. I did. But obviously you don’t believe me.

Trina: I do. I just need a little bit of time to process. You put me in the middle of your war with Esme.

Josslyn: But Esme wasn’t coming for me. She was coming for you. Trina, the whole thing was a setup, start to finish. I mean, Esme texts you that she wants to meet up, she shows up to apologize, she gives you some saccharine speech about how she made a mistake and wants to be friends. Look, I admit that I lost my temper. And the thing about Spencer giving you that book, it just slipped out.

Cameron: Spencer gave you a book?

Trina: He asked his grandmother to give it to me, and I happened to get it on Valentine’s Day. But it was not a Valentine’s gift. It was just a gift. And what part of keeping a confidence don’t you understand?

Josslyn: Cam cares about you, Trina. Unlike Esme. I’m sorry for betraying your trust, but I’m not gonna apologize for defending my friends.


Esme: [ Voice breaking ] So only Trina understands what it’s like for you to lose your mother?

Spencer: Hey —

Esme: She hasn’t experienced real loss. Her father isn’t even dead.

Spencer: I’m sorry. Hey, that was a stupid thing to say. It’s just that you never really talk about your parents.

Esme: I don’t like talking about them.

Spencer: I get it. But I forget sometimes. Hey, I promise to do better. It’s not gonna happen again.

Esme: And what about the gift you got Trina?

Spencer: I get all my friends thank you gifts. It’s a lot easier than sending handwritten cards.

Esme: And it’s a coincidence that your grandmother just happens to give your gift to Trina on Valentine’s Day.

Spencer: It was. Esme, hey, you have to believe me.

Victor: Spencer, my boy, my apologies for not visiting you on your birthday. Oh, I’m sorry. Would, uh — would you like me to come back another time?


Laura: What do you think’s going on, Ava?

Ava: I think Victor helped Peter August escape from that prison van that was taking him to Pentonville, and then I think he somehow managed to smuggle him out of the country. And I think you think the same thing.

Laura: Does it matter now? I mean, Peter’s dead.

Ava: But this isn’t about Peter, really, is it? It’s about dear uncle Victor. And for you, that’s very, very personal.

Laura: [ Chuckles ] You can think whatever you like, Ava. Actually, you know, I-I came to meet Sam.

Ava: Don’t you trust me?

Laura: I was watching you earlier with Victor, and it looked kind of close to me.

Ava: [ Breathes sharply ] Well, you know, keep your enemies closer and all that. I trust Victor as much as you do.


Drew: Victor co-opting his family is one thing, but what use does he have for me?

Anna: The working theory is that Peter was stringing Victor along.

Drew: Right, Peter was gonna give Victor the means to my conditioning to activate it. But I still — I don’t get it. I don’t understand why. I mean, what use does he have for an ex-Navy Seal to do his dirty work? He’s got plenty of ex-military on his payroll.

Anna: Don’t you think it’s possible that Victor thinks you know something — or, rather, that you did?


Laura: I think that Victor is planning something that could spell trouble for all of us.

Ava: Well, he has made some cryptic comments about his plans.

Laura: And Spencer now just idolizes his great-uncle, and it seems like Nikolas is warming up to him, too. So, I feel like I can’t say anything negative because they’d both defend him, and then that would just drive them closer to Victor.

Ava: Well, I know that Nikolas does have his guard up. But I think you’re right, and Victor is making some progress there. And Spencer we know is already firmly in Victor’s camp.

Laura: But you, Ava, you’re smarter than that.


Nikolas: [ sighs ] Walked right into that one, didn’t I?

Sonny: You’ve made a lot of mistakes, mistakes that have changed Spencer’s life, shaped his character. You can’t change that.

Nikolas: Yeah, what do you want me to do, Sonny? Own up to my decisions, my past?

Sonny: That would be a start, now, wouldn’t it? Move forward with the people you love. Don’t run away from your mistakes. ‘Cause when you do that, it makes your pain worse.


Sam: I guess we’re all starting new chapters.

Carly: So, things are good with you and Dante?

Sam: I don’t want to jinx it, but, yeah, things are going pretty good.

Carly: That’s great. What about Drew?

Sam: Yeah [Sighs] That’s definitely…over. We just realized that we’d be better off as co-parents and friends. Why do you ask?

Carly: I don’t know. He’s been really supportive while I’ve been going through everything with Sonny and the divorce. And so, I don’t know, I was trying to look out for him the way he’s been looking out for me.


Ava: I’m listening.

Laura: Victor is trying to make nice right now with Nikolas, which means he’s going to do the same with you.

Ava: Hmm. He’s already trying pretty damn hard.

Laura: Good, good. Let him. Get him to lower his guard so much with you that he might even confide in you.

Ava: And if Victor says something incriminating, you’d like me to pass that on to you?

Laura: If you’d like.

Ava: And I’m guessing that you don’t want me to tell my husband about this arrangement.

Laura: You know, Ava, we dealt with that situation with Ryan together. I wouldn’t ask for your help if it wasn’t serious.

Ava: And I’m sure I’ll know if Victor says something relevant.

Laura: I’m sure you will. I have every confidence in you. Thank you.


Carly: I was ready to lose my mind the night that I walked in on Sonny and Nina at the haunted star.

Sam: Oh.

Carly: And I ran into Drew right after, and, um [Chuckles] Well, he let me vent. And he didn’t try and fix me. He didn’t try and stop me or make it better. He just let me talk.

Laura: Sam, sorry I’m late. I got a little sidetracked. Hi, Carly.

Carly: Hi.

Sam: Oh, n-not a problem. Um, it was really nice talking to you.

Carly: It was nice talking to you, too.

Sam: What was so important that you couldn’t talk to me on the phone about it?

Laura: It is about Victor’s associate.

Sam: Johann?

Laura: Some new details have come to light, and I thought you should know about them, considering it involves Drew.


Esme: As always, a pleasure, Uncle Victor. I-I wish I could stay and chat, but I need to bounce. Um, class calls. Hey. Bye, spence.

Spencer: Bye.


Esme: Time to get this done.


Victor: So, what was that all about?

Spencer: [ Sighs ] My fault. I-I took my frustration at being stuck in here out on Esme. She didn’t deserve it.

Victor: Mm. Ah, you take after your grandfather. He always had a much shorter fuse than the rest of the family.

Spencer: Hm.

Victor: So, what exactly lit this particular powder keg, hm?

Spencer: Every year, I leave flowers on my mother’s grave on the anniversary of her death. I can’t this year for obvious reasons. Mm. Unless…

Victor: Unless what?

Spencer: Well, unless you bust me out.


Drew: So you think that Victor is trying to access my old memories?

Anna: It’s possible. But, look, Andre confirmed for me that those memories were gone.

Drew: But Peter made him believe otherwise.

Anna: Well, Peter and Faison, they were in charge of the whole memory experiment. But then Victor, he took custody of you at Crichton Clark. And this — this kind of tracks with this new information that I’m privy to. [ Sighs ]

Drew: Such as?

Laura: It’s alright, Anna. I think Drew has a right to know the truth.


Victor: Absolutely not.

Spencer: Come on, Uncle Victor. I know that you have connections in Spring Ridge. You arranged for Samuel to make sure that I was safe. How hard could it be for you to arrange a furlough?

Victor: Furloughs are almost exclusively reserved for family funerals and deathbeds.

Spencer: Then it can be off the books. It’s not like this place is surrounded by barbed wire. I can be shuttled out of here and brought back in an hour.

Victor: I will not risk extending your sentence, much less joining you in here. Not when there’s so much in the works for the future of this family.

Spencer: And I want to be a part of that future. We are Cassadines, Uncle Victor. Family is everything to us. We don’t get to pick and choose who we love, who we trust. Just because my mother died hours after me being born doesn’t mean that I don’t miss her every single day. I know I screwed up. And I’m being punished for it now, deservedly so. But think about the people who you’ve loved and lost. Wouldn’t you do everything in your power to make sure that they weren’t forgotten? There must be something you can do.


Trina: We were so close to getting past this, but you just can’t help yourself, can you?

Cameron: Okay, let’s just take a moment right now. I understand —

Trina: I didn’t realize you were taking a course on mediation, Cam.

Cameron: None of my business?

Trina: Mm.

Josslyn: Am I wrong for defending my friends?

Trina: No, you’re not wrong, but it doesn’t make it any better when you say there are certain things you won’t apologize for after saying you’re sorry.

Josslyn: Trina, I’m trying my best here. We all lose it sometimes. Like you did at the cabin.

Trina: Oh, my gosh, apologies aren’t transactional. You made my feelings for Spencer part of “the Josslyn Jacks show.”

Josslyn: That was Esme, not me.

Trina: It’s always Esme, isn’t it? Can’t you just take responsibility for making things worse? Can you, for once in your life, think about what I’m going through?

Esme: My, my. You can cut the tension with a knife, can’t you?


Nikolas: Spencer’s loved, Courtney. Maybe I need to remind him of that more often.

Sonny: [ Groans ] Okay, Courtney, I’m sorry. I should — I know I should have been nicer, but I think… that’s what Nikolas needed, and that’s what Spencer needs. And I’m gonna — I’m gonna — I’m gonna look out for your boy, just like I trust that you keep an eye on… my dad, Morgan, Jason. And Brando and Sasha’s baby boy.


Sasha: I love you.

Brando: I love you, too.

Sasha: That was good.

Brando: Mm.

Sasha: Better than good.

Brando: Mm-hmm. Mm, like the first time. [ Sighs, chuckles ]

Sasha: Yeah, except – except in a bed this time.

[ Both chuckle ]

Sasha: Instead of the backseat of a car you were working on.

Brando: Yeah, yeah. Well, there is that. [ Sighs ]

Sasha: I’ll trade my pillow mint for your thoughts.

Brando: Oh. I was thinking. It’s been a while since we’ve been with each other. Not since…

Sasha: well, let’s not wait so long next time. [ Chuckles ] I’ll be right back.


[ Water rushing in distance ]

Brando: Hi.

Sasha: Wait. Don’t move. I want to take a mental picture of this. It’s beautiful.

Brando: Oh, the — the view?

Sasha: Mm, that too.


Cameron: Best to stay out of this, Esme.

Trina: I should go.

Josslyn: Wait. What if I ditch class and we can talk?

Trina: I’m all talked out. Maybe another time.

Josslyn: Well, text me. I’ll always answer.

Cameron: Trina… for what it’s worth, I’m very sorry.

Trina: Thanks.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Esme: Trina.

Trina: I really don’t want to hear from you, Esme.

Esme: [ Sighs ] Don’t worry, Trina. You’re probably never gonna hear from any of us soon enough.


Nikolas: You holding up okay?

Carly: Are you?

Nikolas:  I should join my lovely wife. Take care, Carly. Courtney would have loved what you’ve done with the place. What it’s become. I’m sorry that I’ve never told you that before.

Carly: Thank you. You just missed your mother.

Nikolas: Oh, yeah? What did she have to say?

Carly: No, I-I didn’t get to say anything to her but hello, but she did seem to be getting into it with Ava and Victor.


Drew: You really think that Victor had something to do with Luke’s death?

Laura: We don’t have proof. We only have circumstantial evidence.

Anna: But we — we all believe that he’s been planning something for months. So what if Luke stumbled upon it, and then Victor would only have one way to stop Luke?

Drew: But, I mean, I-I barely even knew Luke. So — so how would he have come across something that relates to me?

Laura: Crichton-Clark, Helena, Victor, the Ice Princess?

Anna: The common threads is the Cassadines. But we can’t stop Victor until we have proof.

Drew: There’s like dozens of people died in that crash in Innsbruck, dozens.

Anna: And the only way for us to prove that Victor is responsible is to go to Austria.

Laura: You’ve got to tread very carefully. That was deemed an accident.

Anna: Right.

Laura: If you reopen the investigation, it’s going to let Victor know that we’re on to him.

Anna: Yes.

Sam: You know, there is another way to find out what Victor wants.


Sasha: It’s so beautiful here, so peaceful. [ Sighs ] I really don’t want to go back to the real world. I never want this trip to end.

Brando: Yeah, I wish I could give you that. But what I can try to do is make the real world just as special.

Sasha: Mm-hmm?

Brando: Mm-hmm.

Sasha: And how do you plan on doing that?

Brando: By planning to spend the rest of my life with you.

Sasha: Let’s do it.

Brando: Do what?

Sasha: Let’s get married. Today.


Sam: Something in your past motivated Victor to help Peter escape.

Anna: And Peter misled Victor, right? But now Peter’s dead.

Laura: Anna, is it possible that Victor could have gotten access to Andre Maddox and questioned him about Drew’s memories?

Anna: I don’t know, but I can contact Andre for sure. I-I’m confident that he would never reveal that kind of information, and certainly not to someone like Victor.

Drew: So Victor still believes that he can access my memories.

Sam: Exactly. So what if we set a trap for Victor by convincing him it’s possible?


Victor: No, no, no further action from Anna or Drew with regards to our connection to Peter August. But [Sighs] I fear this is only the calm before the storm.

Nikolas: Starting without me?

Ava: Mm-hmm. Never too early to keep celebrating Peter’s demise.

Nikolas: [ Chuckles ] Amen to that. [ Chuckles ] Carly…just told me that she saw you and my mother having a pretty intense conversation. [ Breathes deeply ] What was that about?               [ Sighs ]

Ava: Oh, we were just gossiping about you. Every once in a while, Laura needs a little reassurance that I’m taking very good care of you.

Nikolas: Had nothing to do with my uncle?

Ava: No, I told her that I had a nice conversation with him.

Nikolas: Really?

Ava: Yeah. And I’m making more of an effort with Victor.

Nikolas: [ Sighs ] I’m making more of an effort with Spencer. Not having much luck.

Ava: And you will keep trying until you do. In the meantime, since your uncle wants to be closer with you, what do you say we invite Victor to dinner?


Spencer: Hello, mother. Sorry I was late this year. [ Sighs ] I see that someone beat me to it. I’m glad that you weren’t alone.

Trina: Spencer? What are you doing out of Spring Ridge?


Professor Khan: Despite having been born nearly a generation apart, Locke and Rousseau shared similar ideas about free will and a social contract. Locke and Rousseau were not considered criminologists.

Cameron: You okay?

Josslyn: Who is being stubborn, me or Trina?

Professor Khan: However, in their social contract with society, they believed that an individual…

Cameron: Maybe neither.

Professor Khan: …enter the contract…

Cameron: I mean you both had great points.

Professor Khan: …giving up their rights…

Josslyn: No, no, I need to find her.

Professor Khan: …to act in their own self-interest.

Josslyn: And I need to apologize again before we start fighting.

Professor Khan: In fact, it was Jerem Bentham who devised the roles of imprisonment and incarceration. Bentham understood that punishment should be used sparingly, and he also understood that happiness was when the greatest good was shared by the greatest number. However, as Bentham said—

[ Cellphones, computers chiming ]

Professor Khan: Alright, alright. Exactly what is more important than Jeremy Bentham?

Male student: See for yourself.

[ Students murmuring ]

[ Gasping, laughter ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Anna: What is taking them so long? It’s almost dawn, and they’re still not home. Tony? Oh, tony. Thank god you’re home. Oh, golly, I’ve been so worried. Are you all right? Let me look at you.

Tony: Yeah, I’m fine. Kristen got away, but chad and i were able to bring abigail, steve, and kayla safely home.

Anna: Oh, well, that’s wonderful news. I have to admit, I had a queasy feeling when I heard where you were headed.

Tony: Yeah, that island does hold some history.

Anna: Yes. Especially since it’s where you and renee dumonde had your romantic idyll.

Tony: Oh. [Laughs] That was a lifetime ago.

Anna: Yes, yes. Of course it was, and it’s silly of me to even bring it up, especially since we know that woman is long dead.

Tony: Actually… renee was there.

Sarah as renee: Why am i being held in this hospital against my will?

Kayla: We just want to run some tests.

Sarah as renee: And as I told you, there is no need for tests. I switched out the poison with goat’s milk.

Steve: Yeah, so you said.

Sarah as renee: And you both ate it, and you’re fine, so there was nothing wrong with that chicken.

Steve: This isn’t about the chicken, sarah.

Sarah as renee: Stop calling me sarah!

Ava: Oh… those three losers who framed rafe better not have ratted me out.

Chad: Hello, ava.

Ava: Chad dimera. What are you doing here?

Chad: I’m here to find out why you kidnapped my wife and who helped you do it.

[Soft mysterious music]

[Knocking on door]

Gwen: Xander, there’s someone at the door.

Xander: Hmm? Oh, bloody hell. I’ll get rid of whoever it is. You better have a damn good reason for waking us up at this hour. Abigail. What are you doing here?

Abigail: I came straight from the plane to tell you the truth about what gwen did to me.

Anna: I don’t understand. We both know that renee dumonde died years ago.

Tony: That’s right.

Anna: But you just said–

Tony: What I said was that renee was on the island. What I meant was “renee.”

Anna: Okay. Now I’m totally lost.

Tony: Well, you see, she is renee, ’cause that’s what she calls herself.

Anna: But she’s not renee?

Tony: No, but she actually believes that she is.

Anna: All right. Well, then who is she really?

Tony: Sarah horton.

Sarah as renee: Again with this sarah nonsense.

Kayla: It’s not nonsense. It’s who you are, and the only reason that you think it’s not who you are is because of the drug that you were injected with last year.

Sarah as renee: How could a drug make me think that I am someone else?

Steve: We’re not sure yet.

Kayla: That’s why we need to do an mri and a ct scan, so that we can see if there’s any lasting damage to your brain.

Sarah as renee: I can assure you that my brain is not damaged. Now, I’d like to get home to tony and my long-lost brother chad.

Ava: I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. I don’t even know your wife.

Chad: Well, the police believe otherwise.

Ava: Oh, so that’s why I’m here. They think I kidnapped abigail and did what with her?

Chad: Locked her away on a deserted island, where I just found her.

Ava: And you think I brought her there?

Chad: Maybe not personally, but you were masquerading as sarah horton at the airfield when abigail was knocked out.

Ava: I didn’t lay a hand on her.

Chad: Maybe not, but someone hit her from behind, knocked her unconscious, and you were there. So who was it, ava? Who was helping you?

Ava: Abigail, you don’t have to do that.

Abigail: Oh, I think I do. What am I supposed to do? Just let you walk away–

Chad: You can sit and act innocent, but I’m not leaving here until you identify your accomplice.

Gwen: Xander, don’t listen to her. You know she would do anything to hurt me.

Abigail: Oh, I would do anything to hurt you?

Xander: What’s this all about, abigail?

Abigail: She’s been lying to you, xander, and I have proof. The pilot ratted her out.

Xander: Pilot? What pilot?

Abigail: You didn’t want him to know the truth about what really happened to sarah, because you knew he would dump you so fast.

Xander: Sarah? What does this have to do with sarah?

Gwen: Nothing, nothing. Don’t–don’t believe her.

Abigail: Sarah has been held prisoner on a deserted island for the past year.

Xander: What?

Abigail: And gwen has known about it for months.

Gwen: Xander, I can explain.

Xander: How could you do this? How could you do this to me! What’s going on, gwen? You all right?

Jennifer: It’s 9:00, jack.

Jack: I know. I know. You know why I know? Because you told me it’s 8:45 about ten minutes ago.

Jennifer: Yes, but it landed an hour ago, so what is happening?

Abigail: Mom?

Jennifer: Where–abigail!

Jack: Oh, she’s here!

Jennifer: Oh, my gosh, baby.

Jack: Sweetheart. Oh, you made it home.

Jennifer: So glad you’re okay.

Jack: Yes.

Jennifer: Let me look at you. Are you okay?

Jack: Oh, my gosh. Are you hurt? Is–

Abigail: No.

Jack: Is everything okay?

Abigail: I’m fine. I’m fine. I just thank god chad found me and brought me home.

Jennifer: Where is chad?

Abigail: He went to go confront my kidnapper.

Ava: As I told your wife on the runway, the mask was just a harmless prank.

Chad: Let’s say that’s true. You still stood there and did nothing while someone knocked out my wife and dragged her onto that plane. Now, who was it?

Ava: I’m sorry. I can’t answer your question.

Chad: You can, but you don’t want to. Yet. You know, my brother and I–we talked to ned granger.

Ava: Ned granger?

Chad: He was the one who told us where abigail was, because he was the one that flew her there.

Ava: Okay.

Chad: And he said that kristen was there when they arrived on the island, so she’s not the one that knocked her out.

Ava: Like I said, I’m sorry, but I cannot answer your question.

Chad: Then you’re just gonna have to answer to the police.

Ava: I haven’t committed a crime.

Chad: How about accessory to kidnapping?

Ava: I had nothing to do with it.

Chad: Okay. I know all about your past. These crimes might seem meaningless to you, but this is about my wife. You understand? The mother of my children. And I’m gonna make damn sure that someone pays for what they did to her. But it doesn’t have to be you. You can walk out of here with a slap on the wrist. All you have to do is turn on your partner.

Gwen: Bad dream.

Xander: I’ll say. Do you remember what it was about this time?

Gwen: This time?

Xander: Gwen, it’s been happening to you quite a lot recently–I mean, waking up in a cold sweat, pale as a sheet.

Gwen: Yeah, I suppose it has been happening more, from time to time, hasn’t it?

Xander: And this time, would it maybe help to talk about it?

Gwen: Maybe. It was about dr. Snyder.

Xander: Snyder? I haven’t thought that swine for a minute. No wonder you’re so rattled.

Gwen: Yeah. It was terrifying actually. We had just thrown him down, in the lake, and his body sank, but then his body rose up, and–

Xander: And what?

Gwen: And… well, he started yelling at me, and he was telling me that I am the scum of the earth, and he told me that you didn’t really love me. He said that you were just using me to get over sarah. You were there, too, and confirmed it.

Xander: Oh, gwen. I hope your subconscious didn’t come up with this dream because you doubt my feelings for you.

Gwen: I don’t know why I had the dream. All I know is that it scared me half to bloody death.

Xander: Do you know what i dreamed about last night?

Gwen: No. How could I?

Xander: I dreamed that you and I were married, and we had four kids–two boys, two girls–all with your great, big, gorgeous eyes.

Gwen: Really?

Xander: A lovely house. White picket fence. A golden retriever called dumpling.

Gwen: Dumpling?

Xander: And you were telling me that you’d just been voted wife and mother of the year.

Gwen: Did I? Well, lucky me. Really? Did I say who said it?

Xander: No, no, no. You didn’t say, and I didn’t ask, but you were very pleased with yourself, understandably, and I was incredibly proud of you.

Gwen: You didn’t dream that, did you?

Xander: No, I didn’t, but I daydream about it all the time.

Gwen: Well, that’s very lovely.

Xander: Gwen, do I have to remind you we’re getting married soon? Would that be happening if I didn’t adore you and want to spend the rest of my life with you?

Gwen: No. Of course not. I know that your feelings for me are genuine. I know that you love me, and I cannot wait to be your wife.

Xander: But then why all these bad dreams, hmm? Unless–

Gwen: Unless what?

Xander: Are you nervous about abigail coming home?

Gwen: Why would I be nervous about it?

Xander: I don’t know. You tell me.

Kayla: I know that this is a lot to process, but chad is not your brother, and you are not a dimera. Your name is sarah horton, and I can prove it.

Sarah as renee: Please let me out of here.

Kayla: I can’t do that.

Sarah as renee: Why not?

Kayla: Because there are a lot of family and friends who love you and miss you. Please let us do these tests, okay? I am confident that I can come up with a treatment plan for you. Abigail recovered from a very similar condition, and so can you.

Steve: Kayla’s right, and we want to help you any way we can.

Sarah as renee: Okay.

Kayla: Really?

Sarah as renee: Yeah. Whatever’s going on with me, I want to know the truth about my life, so run the tests.

Kayla: Great. I think you’re making a wise decision, and I’ll set them up.

Steve: And I’ll let you get some rest. You hang in there, okay?

Sarah as renee: Thank you. Thank you both.

Kayla: Okay. I’ll be back.

[Pensive electronic music]

Your mission:

Jack: So ava vitali was under the mask?

Abigail: She was the one who’s been masquerading as sarah.

Jennifer: Why would she do that?

Abigail: She claimed that it was a prank. Of course, I knew it was more than that, and I told her so, but when I did that, next thing I know, someone came up behind me and just conked me over the back of the head.

Jennifer: What?

Jack: Do you know who it was?

Abigail: No, but chad’s with ava now, and he’s determined to find out.

Ava: If I give you a name, you think I just get to walk?

Chad: Well, you know how this goes. The da isn’t interested in the accomplice. They’re gonna want the big fish.

Ava: So all of a sudden, you’re an expert in knowing what the da wants?

Chad: Well, my wife is the victim, and my name happens to have a lot of pull in this town, so I can talk to trask and convince her to offer you a deal.

Ava: You have no way of knowing that she’s gonna say yes.

Chad: And what’s your alternative, ava? Hmm? I mean, I know whoever knocked abby out and dragged her onto that plane is the real culprit. Why would you want to go down for someone else’s crime?

Steve: Yeah, at least everyone’s safe. Okay, I’ll let you know if there’s anything else to report. I’ll talk to you soon. Yeah.

[Cell phone beeps]

Kayla: Was that maggie?

Steve: No, brady. I was waiting to call maggie until we get sarah’s test results.

Kayla: Well, that makes sense.

Steve: Hopefully, we’ll be able to give her some good news.

Kayla: Well, the tech is ready, so I’m gonna go pick her up and bring her down for imaging.

Xander: Hey, I understand. I know you’re still not on the best of terms with your sister.

Gwen: Yeah, you could say that.

Xander: Yeah. You were very upset when she accused you of pretending to be sarah and rejecting me again.

Gwen: Yes. That was quite hurtful.

Xander: But she, and jack, and everyone else now knows that it couldn’t have been you, so–

Gwen: No, of course not, because I was there, in the square, when sarah and abigail were together.

Xander: Exactly. You know, and in the end, it all worked out for the best anyway, didn’t it? I mean, sarah coming back here gave me the closure I needed, and I can’t say I particularly enjoyed being rejected again, but it reminded me that I’m finished with her too.

Gwen: Which is why you proposed to me.

Xander: Because you and i belong together, gwen, and now there’s nothing gonna get in the way of us being mr. And mrs. Xander cook.

Kayla: Okay, sarah. Everything’s set up.

[Quiet dramatic music]

Anna: So sarah is still convinced she’s renee?

Tony: Yes, and not only that, she’s acting like she’s madly in love with me and that she wants to pick up from where we left off all those years ago.

Anna: That’s absurd. You tried to set her straight, I hope?

Tony: Well, of course I did, but nothing I said made a dent. She’s stuck in this emotional delusion.

Anna: Oh, the poor thing. Well, where is she now?

Tony: Steve and kayla took her to the hospital to get some tests. Hopefully, they’ve gotten through to her by now.

Anna: Hopefully is right.

Tony: Well, she’ll just have to accept that you are my one and only love of my life.

Sarah as renee: Get your hands off my tony.

Tackling tough messes can

take more time than you have,

Ava: You make a compelling pitch, but I think I’m gonna take my chances. If the cops had anything on me, they’d have already arrested me.

Chad: Well, they had enough to drag you down here.

Ava: They’ll have to let me go soon.

Chad: I would not count on that. At the very least, you’re a witness and a person of interest in a kidnapping.

Ava: Oh, I’m always a person of interest. I’m used to that.

Chad: Well, you enjoy your quiet time, then, but if things do take a turn, and you decide you don’t want to go to prison, give me a call.

[Tense music]

Gwen: You know, I never did ask you why you go by cook and not kiriakis.

Xander: Oh, well, I ditched my birth name a little while ago. Complicated family history.

Gwen: I like cook.

Xander: It is a lot easier to spell than rizczech, but you don’t have to take it, if you don’t want to. Or maybe you could do, like, a hyphenate or–

Gwen: Gwen cook sounds absolutely perfect to me.

Xander: Me too. Mrs. Gwendolyn cook.

[Cell phone beeps]

[Cell phone rings] Who’s calling at this ungodly hour?

Gwen: I can’t imagine. Hello?

Ava: I need to see you right now. Get your ass down to the police station.

Abigail: No news from chad yet.

Jennifer: Well, he’ll get some answers. The important thing is, you’re safe. You’re not hurt. Everybody’s fine.

Jack: Although I’m sure it was terrifying.

Abigail: It was. Gosh, but I’m just so damn grateful to be back. And thank you both for staying on just to take care of thomas and charlotte.

Jennifer: Oh, honey, it was our pleasure.

Jack: Yeah.

Jennifer: Please.

Abigail: I mean, the kids being with the two of you, I bet they hardly missed me at all.

Jennifer: Oh.

Jack: Oh, no. Like, every five minutes, it’S… “when’s mommy coming home?”

Jennifer: “Where’s our mom? Where’s mommy?”

Abigail: Well, now that I am home, as much as I have missed having you here, I guess you can go back to boston.

Jack: Okay. Well, we know “the spectator’s” in good hands with you, and both your mother and i would like to tell you how proud we are of what a good writer and good journalist you’ve become.

Abigail: Thanks, dad. And I have you and mom to thank, just for being my role models, and for inspiring me, and yeah. And I guess I have my next big story.

Jack: Oh, do you? What is it?

Abigail: The kidnapping of sarah horton.

Jennifer: The kidnapping?

Abigail: Yes. She was on that miserable island too.

Jack: Sarah was there?

Abigail: Yeah. Kristen had been keeping her captive there since her wedding last year.

Jack: So xander was right. Sarah was in trouble.

Abigail: She sure as hell was. Yeah, and then I just accidentally stumbled upon the fact that it was kristen masquerading as sarah who actually broke it off with xander.

Jack: And not sarah?

Abigail: Not sarah. Mm-mm. Which is, of course, so terribly sad and, you know, not just because it wasn’t sarah who broke xander’s heart, but then poor woman ends up being kristen’s prisoner for months and doesn’t even know where the hell she was.

Jack: Kristen’s a sadistic maniac.

Abigail: And unfortunately, she’s never gonna pay for this crime, just like she hasn’t for so many others, because I’m sure it’ll come as a shock, but she got away.

Jennifer: Of course. She is sadistic and very clever.

Abigail: In the worst possible way.

Jack: But sarah’s alive and well?

Abigail: Alive, yes. Well, not so much.

Steve: We should have known she was playing us. We never should have left her alone.

Kayla: Well, she had us both fooled.

Steve: Well, she couldn’t have gotten too far.

[Cell phone beeps]

Kayla: Sorry. Dr. Johnson. Oh. Okay, thank you.

[Cell phone beeps] That was the head of hospital security.

Steve: They find sarah?

Kayla: No, but they did catch her on the security cameras leaving the hospital.

Steve: Give you three guesses where she went. The first two don’t count.

Sarah as renee: Did you hear me, anna? Step away from my tony.

Anna: I’m sorry, sweetheart, but this is my tony. I understand that you’re confused, but tony and I love each other.

Sarah as renee: He would have never even looked at you twice if he knew I was alive.

Tony: Okay, can we please just take a step back?

Sarah as renee: Your marriage is a sham, anna. You probably tricked him into it.

Anna: What are we gonna do about this person?

Tony: Let’s just try to keep her calm. I’ll call kayla.

Sarah as renee: You are not calling kayla, and I am not going to be calm while this tramp tries to steal my life!

Anna: Tramp? Excuse me.

Tony: That’s uncalled for.

Sarah as renee: Well, it’s the truth, so get your hands off of my man, pack your bags, and get the hell out of my family home! Life’s been hard enough.

Anna: I’m trying very hard to be patient with you because I understand that you’re ill, but I’m not going anywhere. This is my home.

Sarah as renee: Really? Is that your father on the wall? I didn’t think so.

Anna: Well, he’s not yours either. Tony?

Tony: Listen.

Sarah as renee: Hello, daddy. I’ve missed you.

Anna: Do something.

Sarah as renee: You know what you can do, tony, is tell this washed-up floozy to hit the bricks.

Anna: You know, that’s enough. If anyone’s going anywhere, it’s you.

Sarah as renee: Over my dead body.

Anna: Well, that can be arranged.

Gwen: It’s a bit early, don’t you think?

Ava: Well, it’s not my fault the cops hauled me down here before I even had my morning coffee. You alone?

Gwen: No, I’m not. What’s up?

Ava: Well, what’s up is that I am being held for questioning in connection with the abduction of abigail dimera.

Gwen: No kidding.

Ava: Yeah, no kidding, and chad was just in here grilling me about who I saw hitting his wife over the head.

Gwen: Okay.

Ava: Okay, so if you’re not down here in the next ten minutes, your name’s gonna come up in conversation… a lot. As in, “gwen hit abigail over the head.” You understand?

Gwen: Mm-hmm. Yep. Right. I will be there as soon as I can. Okay, bye.

[Cell phone beeps]

Xander: Wait? What’s going on? Who was that?

Gwen: That was the wedding planner that I reached out to.

Xander: It’s a bit early for a call, isn’t it?

Gwen: Yes. I know, but that’s what is the best thing about her. Early bird and all. I think I’m actually gonna pop round and go see her.

Xander: What? Now?

Gwen: Yeah. She had a cancellation this morning, so–

Xander: Well, do you want me to come with you?

Gwen: No. I’ll just go take the meeting, and we’ll see how it goes, okay?

[Drum music crescendos]

Jack: So sarah is–

Abigail: She’s not in her right mind.

Jennifer: That poor girl.

Abigail: It’s so sad. It’s heartbreaking, really, and, you know, obviously, I can relate, so–

Jennifer: Yes, of course you can.

Abigail: Anyway, it’s also a really difficult situation for tony, because god only knows why, because of sarah’s delusion, she believes, for some reason, that she’s tony’s old flame, renee dumonde.

Jack: How strange.

Abigail: So strange. It’s strange, complicated, especially because sarah, aka renee, is madly in love with him.

Anna: Let me at her!

Tony: That’s enough!

Sarah as renee: You can’t–

Tony: Both of you!

Sarah as renee: You keep her away from me, tony.

Tony: Listen to me, renee.

Anna: Renee? Now you’re calling her renee?

Tony: It’s the only way she’ll respond.

Anna: Has the world gone mad?

Tony: No need for any insults or threats. We need to act like adults, civilized, sane people, so that we can be able to work this thing through.

Anna: Only one of us is sane here.

Tony: Will you please, for my sake?

Sarah as renee: All right. I’m sorry, tony. I will calm down, for your sake. I’m sorry.

Kayla: Oh, there you are, sarah.

Anna: Oh, thank god you’re here. Did you bring the men in white coats with you?

Steve: What’s going on?

Anna: What’s going on is this deranged woman crashed in here and attacked me. Please take her back to the hospital, where she belongs.

Trelegy for copd.

Kayla: Why don’t we get you back to the hospital and take care of those tests?

Sarah as renee: No thanks. Not going.

Anna: Please, kayla, can’t you do something about this?

Kayla: I can’t force her.

Anna: Why not?

Sarah as renee: Because it’s a free country.

Kayla: And she’s not endangering anyone.

Anna: She almost attacked me, before you got here.

Sarah as renee: No. You attacked me, so, kayla, steve, why don’t you take her to the hospital and get her anger issues checked out, while I go freshen up?

Tony: Kayla, is there nothing else you can do?

Kayla: If she won’t submit to the tests, I mean, we could get a court order, but–

Tony: What are we supposed to do until then?

Kayla: Keep her safe.

Tony: Steve!

Steve: For now, until we can figure something out.

Anna: You are not seriously suggesting that we’d let her live here.

Kayla: Well, at least then we would know where she is. I’m sorry. If you need anything else, please don’t hesitate to call us.

Anna: Anything else? You haven’t done anything.

Tony: I’ll be in touch.

Sarah as renee: These have to go.

Anna: Keep your hands off. You’re not actually going to let her stay here.

Sarah as renee: Well, he’s not letting me do anything. It’s my family home, is it not, tony?

Tony: You can stay, for now.

Anna: Well, I’m not going anywhere either. Tony and I are husband and wife.

Sarah as renee: You were husband and wife. Tony, you need to be liberated from this horrible woman.

Anna: Liberated?

Sarah as renee: I’m gonna hire you the best lawyer in town. I’m gonna see if I can get in touch with don craig and get you out of this nightmare of a marriage.

Anna: Tony and I are very happily married, and don craig went out to mail a letter one day, and we never heard from him again.

Sarah as renee: Well, I’ll find someone, and when I do, if you don’t leave, I will have you forcibly removed.

Tony: I don’t think so.

Sarah as renee: Don’t worry. Renee is gonna take care of everything.

[Dramatic music]

God, it’s good to be home.

Chad: Hey, jack.

Jack: Chad, abigail’s waiting to hear from you. Listen, I owe you so much. We so appreciate everything you and tony did to bring our girl home.

Chad: I’m just happy that she’s okay. No injuries. A little bit traumatized, but abby’s resilient, so she’s gonna be okay.

Jack: Yeah, of course she is, and listen, she told us all about sarah. What happened to that girl. That hell. Actually, I was just about to call xander, let him know what happened and tell him that sarah didn’t leave him voluntarily.

Chad: Well, I’m sure he’ll be very happy to hear that.

Jack: He will. He will. Although–

Chad: Although what?

Jack: Xander’s getting married.

Chad: To gwen?

Ava: Is this supposed to be some sort of disguise?

Gwen: I’m trying not to call too much attention to myself.

Ava: By dressing like a snowman?

Gwen: Oh, god. I can’t believe that you made me come down here.

Ava: Oh, well, you just want me to sit at the station and rot?

Gwen: You know that I am not supposed to be seen with you.

Ava: Oh, believe me, gwen. That is the least of your problems.

[Cell phone rings]

Xander: The little birds are chirping this morning. Oh, it’s jack.

[Cell phone beeps] Morning, mate.

Jack: Xander, hey. Listen, I’m sorry to call so early, but abigail just got back.

Xander: Oh, that is just wonderful news, jack. I knew she was on her way home, but now that she’s back safe, thank god. You and jennifer must be thrilled.

Jack: We are, but you need to know that sarah was there too.

Xander: Sarah was where?

Jack: On the island with abigail.

Xander: I don’t understand.

Jack: Listen, do you remember the day of your wedding, a year ago? You got a call from susan banks at the pub. She said that she saw sarah going upstairs with rex.

Xander: Yeah, how could I not remember that?

Jack: That was actually kristen.

Xander: Yeah, jack. I know it was.

Jack: What you don’t know is that kristen didn’t only impersonate susan banks. She also impersonated sarah.

Xander: What?

Jack: The woman that you saw in bed with rex, the woman who broke up with you, was kristen in a sarah mask.

Xander: Oh, my god. No! But I–oh, my god.

Jack: I’m sorry to tell you like this.

Xander: No, but wait, wait, wait. What about when sarah came back to salem to visit maggie? That was kristen too?

Jack: No, no. Believe it or not, that was ava vitali.

Xander: Well, no, I don’t believe it, jack. It’s too insane. It can’t be true.

Jack: I’m afraid it is. Abigail confirmed it.

Xander: Where is sarah now? Where is she, jack?

Jack: They’re taking her to the hospital.

Xander: I have to go find her. I have to see her. I have to–[Cell phone beeps].

Jack: Wait. Before you do that, there’s one more thing you need to know. You–xander? Hello?

Jennifer: Oh, you are our hero. We can’t thank you enough.

Chad: No. Are you kidding me? Seeing the kids’ faces when abby tucks ’em in at night is all the thanks I need.

Jennifer: They missed their mama so much.

Abigail: Not as much as they would have missed me if it weren’t for grandma and grandpa being here.

Jennifer: Well, they were a comfort to us. Trust me. I’m gonna go check on g-pa right now.

Chad: How you doing, baby? Tired? You want some rest? What can I do for you?

Abigail: Not a thing. I’m too wound up to be tired. How’d it go with ava?

Chad: She stonewalled me. No surprise there, but I could tell that she was panicked. I mean, we know she didn’t assault you, but given her track record, trask shouldn’t have a hard time getting those aiding and abetting charges to stick.

Abigail: Right, so if she wants to save her own neck, there’s only one way to do it.

Chad: That’s to name her accomplice.

Gwen: You’re not gonna rat me out, are you?

Ava: You know, despite committing my fair share of crimes, I’ve managed to stay out of prison for most of my life. I’m not getting locked up for this.

Gwen: What are you saying?

Ava: What I’m saying is, if I do get arrested, the only way out may be to give them a name, so I’m gonna ask you one simple question. Why shouldn’t I sacrifice you to save myself?

Jennifer: How did xander take the news?

Jack: Stunned, but he’s gonna be even more stunned when he hears the whole story.

Jennifer: You didn’t tell him, jack?

Jack: I tried, but he hung up before I could. I mean, he wanted to go find her. He was gonna run off, and I told him that she was at the hospital.

Jennifer: Right, but he knows that the real sarah didn’t reject him, right?

Jack: Right. He knows that, but he doesn’t know that the real sarah considers herself to be tony’s late inamorata, renee dumonde.

Tony: I’m so sorry. I’m sorry you had to go through this, darling.

Anna: Don’t you “darling” me. You were playing along with that girl’s delusions.

Tony: Anna, please. Can we have a little compassion? Sarah is mentally ill. What she needs right now is some kindness.

Anna: Oh, really? Well, what if treating a crazy woman with kindness drives your sane wife crazy?

[Eerie music]

Sarah as renee: Tom and alice horton. Long time no see. You know, everyone keeps trying to tell me that I’m your granddaughter sarah, but I’m not. I’m renee dumonde, and I’m here to take my life back, and to finally be with the man I love.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Thomas: My family should thank you? You are the reason that my mother and father are back together?

Sheila: Is it really so hard to believe that I could do something good?

Thomas: You haven’t done a single good thing in your whole life, sheila.

Sheila: Wh– you don’t know. You have no idea.

Thomas: You know, you’re right. I don’t know. I don’t know why you would think that we would welcome you with open arms. You need to leave. Okay? Stay away from my family. Stay away from steffy. Stay away from finn. Stay away from the kids. Okay, we don’t need you coming back into our family and screwing it up.

Sheila: Oh, don’t you dare! The arrogance. What, you– you just think that this happened out of the blue? That after all these years of your mother playing second fiddle to brooke, that her luck miraculously changed? Your family is reunited because of me.

Ridge: You know, people are going to talk, right?

Taylor: Mm.

Ridge: Say things that they shouldn’T.

Taylor: Yeah, thank you, thomas.

[ Sighs ]

Taylor: I know you don’t want gossip about us getting back to brooke and hurting her.

Ridge: Or you, or the kids. We’re still trying to figure this out. One moment at a time.

Ridge: Right.

Taylor: Yeah. But sooner or later, people are going to hear about you and brooke.

Max: Ridge.

Ridge: Hey.

Max: Taylor.

Taylor: Hi.

Max: Hey. I heard something’s going on between you and brooke. You okay?

Bill: Thank you.

[ Clears throat ]

Wyatt: So apparently, there’s trouble in paradise with ridge and brooke?

Bill: Hah! Well, that’s no surprise.

Liam: Yeah, well, before you lay it all on deacon, just know that brooke has taken responsibility for it.

Bill: That doesn’t surprise me either. Whenever things go bad, brooke takes the blame. Like it’s her fault that forrester can’t stick around, tough things out. Just a matter of time before he pushed the eject button and bailed. The guy’s never made brooke happy, and he never will.

Liam: Yeah, well, you’re right about one thing, brooke is not– she’s not happy. I mean, and as someone who’s been living on the property, I can tell you what a toll this is taking on her.

Brooke: Oh, I hate this feeling. What if there’s nothing to do to make it right? What if I just have to accept it?

Hope: And just let ridge be with taylor?

Brooke: If she’s going to make him happy, yeah.

Hope: Mom, come on, you can’t just let ridge walk away from your marriage like that.

Brooke: Honey, what else can I do? I have hurt him. I have let him down. I’ve betrayed his trust again and again. I mean, maybe it’s time to just stop. Set him free.

[ Sighs ]

Bill: Ridge can’t really believe that brooke wants to be with that two-bit convict, deacon. No, it’s just an excuse to race back to taylor.

Liam: I– I don’t think that’s how it happened, exactly. But—

Bill: What are you talking about, liam? Right? Ridge gets exactly what he wants and brooke gets to feel terrible about it.

Wyatt: Well, things were a little rocky between ridge and brooke before taylor even showed up.

Bill: When aren’t things rocky between those two?

Wyatt: Really? I mean, it’s coming from you?

Bill: All right. All I’m saying is, wise guys, brooke deserves a whole lot more than she’s ever gotten from ridge.

Ridge: Oh, max, is that the, uh…

Max: Milan proposal.

Ridge: Already? Seriously. Wow.

Max: Come on. Ridge forrester asks for a favour…

Ridge: But this is fast, even for you. I appreciate it.

Max: Well, speaking of favours…

Ridge: Ah, okay, here it is. What do you need? What can I do?

Max: Bikini.

Ridge: Well, I don’t know if we have anything in your size, but I’ll– I’ll–

Max: No, no, the guys are going out to bikini tonight. I’m trying to get carter to come out. You think you can get in his ear and convince him?

Ridge: Ah, I’ll see what I can do.

Max: Alright appreciate it. I’ll let you two get back to it.

Ridge: Okay.

Max: Seriously, you and brooke, everything…

Ridge: It’s fine. Let it go.

Max: You sure?

Ridge: Yeah.

Max: All right. Okay, man. All right.

Ridge: Thank you. Told you. They’re going to speculate.

Taylor: Yeah, you can’t stop that.

Ridge: No, but I don’t want it getting back to brooke or impacting you in any way.

Taylor: I know. I’ll be fine.

Ridge: Brooke isn’T.

Taylor: I know. I know you’re worried about her. Please don’t feel bad about caring. It’s one of your best qualities. One of them.

Hope: Mom, if you want this to be over that’s one thing–

Brooke: Ah, I don’T. Are you kidding me? I can’t even imagine a life without ridge.

Hope: Well, then how can you even think about giving up? Because you know that won’t make you happy. I mean, at this point, it’s just you punishing yourself.

Brooke: I don’t know how this happened. Ridge and taylor. It didn’t have to be this way.

Thomas: Everybody knows what happened, sheila.

Sheila: Is that so?

Thomas: Yeah, brooke got drunk, she made out with deacon, right? And then she slept in the same bed as him and apparently nothing else happened besides that. But that’s the reason that my parents are spending time together now, okay? So, we don’t owe you a damn thing and you had nothing to do with it.

Sheila: You know what? If you believe that, you are just as delusional as brooke. I mean, all– all her talk about destiny and fate. I had nothing to do with it? Why do you think brooke got drunk in the first place? I got covid in september of 2020, and a few weeks later,

Bill: All forrester’s ever done is let brooke down.

Liam: Yeah, and– and we can see why you’d feel that way.

Bill: Ah, boy, you two. It’s the damn truth.

Wyatt: From your perspective, dad.

Bill: Yeah, “that’s from my perspective,” wyatt

Wyatt: Why? What did I do?

Bill: I am telling it like it is. Forrester is a deadbeat. Just as bad as deacon.

Liam: Oh–

Bill: He’s just never been held accountable.

Liam: Okay. I know. But– but ridge is not the point. Brooke is the point. How much pain she’s in, how devastated she is. That’s the point.

Bill: Okay, number one, I don’t need you to tell me what the point is, liam.

Liam: It’s okay.

Bill: Brooke should be mad as hell. Where does forrester get off making her feel like a failure when he’s the one who quit? Again. That’s the point.

Wyatt: You’re making it sound like she didn’t see this coming.

Liam: Yeah it was touch ‘n go for a minute there, but they thought they were gonna get through it.

Wyatt: What, so brooke wasn’t worried that taylor was coming back at all?

Liam: She wasn’t until steffy and thomas started pressing the issue because obviously, they want their parents back together, stick to family…

Bill: Right. Right. Right. Giving ridge another excuse to bail on brooke. How many times has he left her hanging for taylor? How many times? And now he’s doing it again?

Ridge: Brooke feels like I abandoned her.

Taylor: Yeah, but you didn’T. When she told you about her drinking, you were so there for her.

Ridge: ‘Cause I told her I would be. Be there for her and I’d support her. I don’t understand. I don’T. Why-why is the– the first thing she goes to… lying to me? Why? Why wouldn’t she tell me what’s going on after everything we’ve been through, you’d think we could say anything to each other. Why did any of this happen in the first place?

Hope: You’re allowed to be upset with me, mom. Practically everyone warned me that this would happen.

Brooke: Hope, this is not your fault.

Hope: I brought dad back into our lives. I invited him over for new year’s eve.

Brooke: Honey, I opened the vodka bottle. I insisted your father drink with me. Now, I certainly am not going to blame that on anybody, especially you. It was my decision not to tell ridge the whole truth. I let him down. And because of that, I’ve lost him.

Thomas: You know why brooke got drunk on new year’s eve?

Sheila: I was asking you.

Thomas: No, you implied that you had something to do with it.

Sheila: Don’t put words in my mouth, thomas.

Thomas: I’m not putting words in your mouth. I am listening to what you’re saying. What did you do, sheila? Tell me.

Sheila: I don’t need to tell you anything, thomas. You said it, brooke got drunk, she kissed deacon, you have your family back. And brooke? Brooke got exactly what she deserved. Or should I say, what she ordered?

Thomas: She ordered non-alcoholic champagne.

Sheila: Huh. Non-alcoholic. Really?

Liam: See, hope is just worried that ridge and brooke won’t survive this.

Bill: She should be.

Wyatt: Nice. Very compassionate, dad.

Bill: It’s got nothing to do with compassion, wyatt. It’s a fact. Ridge hit the door the first chance he got.

Wyatt: Yeah, but ridge and brooke have gone through things like this before, and it’s never affected their marriage. Like when they had to deal with the deacon thing.

Liam: Well, that’s right. I mean, that was– that was tough, but they were determined to work through it.

Bill: Until taylor showed up, giving ridge another excuse to bail out.

Liam: Yeah. Here– here’s the thing. Hope thinks that they can get out of this tailspin, if brooke doesn’t give up. And the thing is, that’s a big if because, you know, ridge and brooke have been through a lot over the years, and there’s obviously a limit. You can only weather so many disasters. And hope’s afraid this is the final nail in the coffin. But it’s so weird because they were doing great over the holidays. You know, brooke was excited about new year’s, ridge was doing his best to come home,

Hope: Yeah, but you’re going to meetings, you’re back in recovery.

Brooke: I’m talking about what I did with your father.

[ Sighs ]

Ridge: Maybe that’s a pattern I’m bound to repeat. Maybe… maybe taylor is the right woman for him, after all.

Taylor: I can’t tell you what to do, but I can be here for you while you work through it.

Ridge: I’m glad you are.

Taylor: I know. I know you don’t want to hurt anyone, ridge. Not brooke, not me. And I don’t want to see you hurt, either. But you don’t have to go through this alone. Neither does brooke. You have me and the kids here to support you, and brooke has her family to lean on. I know you want to figure all of this out, but right now, just… just let it breathe. One moment at a time. Okay?

Ridge: Okay.

[ Sighs ]

Sheila: I– I didn’t know you could get drunk on non-alcoholic champagne.

Thomas: You can’T.

Sheila: And yet brooke got drunk, fell into deacon’s arms.

Thomas: Brooke wasn’t lying about the champagne, sheila. Hope was there when it was delivered, it wasn’t the real stuff.

Sheila: I’ll bet she guzzled it right down. I mean, why not? I mean, no booze. Where’s the harm in that?

Thomas: You’re saying there was alcohol in it? You spiked her drink?

Sheila: I wasn’t there, thomas, I– how can I spike someone’s drink when I’m not even in the room?

Thomas: You said that brooke deserved this. You said brooke ordered this. Are you saying that brooke actually drank real champagne? She doesn’t know why she drank that night. Are you saying that she drank alcoholic champagne without realizing it? I’m right, aren’t I? I’ve been telling everyone…

Hope: I don’t believe that ridge is better off with taylor. And neither do you.

Brooke: Ridge does.

Hope: Mm, ridge told me that he loves you and he always will. So, you need to hang on to that. Mom, I don’t want you throwing years and years of your experiences away as if it doesn’t matter. As if his potential with taylor is more important than the life you currently have with him. I invited deacon over for new year’s eve. I am the one who did not see the danger there. I mean, mom, you were so excited to see ridge that night, you were practically giddy about it.

Brooke: Maybe I should have just told him the truth from the beginning.

Hope: So, be honest with him now. Don’t let him just walk away. Go to him. Talk to him. I promise you, it is not too late.

Thomas: It was you. You’re the reason that brooke got drunk.

Sheila: Brooke’s an alcoholic. She fell off the wagon.

Thomas: Sounds like she was pushed off the wagon.

Sheila: You think I drove her into deacon’s arms?

Thomas: Think it was a part of your plan.

Sheila: My plan?

Thomas: Yes. To sabotage the relationship between my dad and brooke, so that they would split up. That’s why I should be thanking you, isn’t it?

[ Phone rings ]

Thomas: It’s my dad.

Sheila: What are you going to tell him?

Thomas: Hey.

Ridge: Hey. Where are you?

Thomas: Uh, something wrong?

Ridge: No, I’m here at the office with your hot mom and we’re thinking of ordering lunch and looking at your designs.

Thomas: You want me to come to the office right now?

Ridge: Yeah, unless you’re busy.

Thomas: Yeah, I’m– I’m sort of in the middle of something. Unscheduled meeting.

Ridge: Oh, an unscheduled meeting, huh? Doesn’t sound like it’s going very well.

Thomas: Came across something unexpected. I need a little bit more time to dig into it.

Ridge: Huh.

Taylor: Is everything all right?

Ridge: Yeah, yeah, he’s just being a little cryptic, and that’s never a good thing when it comes to thomas.

Thomas: How did you get brooke to drink? You weren’t there on new year’s eve, and that’s how this all started – the rift between my dad and brooke and why my parents are together right now. You’re the one who set this all in motion.

Sheila: No, no, I’m not. Brooke is the one that did that. I tried to warn her, and she knew threatening me could cause her harm. And you know what? She is paying the price right now. And your mother is reaping the benefits. So, yes. You know what? I do feel like I deserve some gratitude right now, thomas because, for the first time in years, your mother has an opportunity with your father. You all have an opportunity at–at a true reunion. You don’t want to ruin that for them. You don’t want to deny your parents an opportunity at– at long-lasting happiness. Now, do you? Thomas, don’t give brooke a way back to him. Don’t do it. You just keep quiet and you’re going to have the– the happily ever after, the family that you have always dreamed of. Don’t tell ridge. Just don’t do it.

Update written by Kathleen
Proofread by Suzanne

At Liz’s house, Finn comes down the stairs and says that the shower has great water pressure. Liz tells him Franco installed a new head right before he was killed. She says it sometimes feels like he is still there. Finn notes that someone wants her to feel that way.

Brando laughs and says that he doesn’t know what to say about Sasha wanting to get married that day. She tells him to just say yes!

Lucy is showing Jax’s house to Portia and Curtis. She hints that Sonny might also be interested in buying the house.

At the Metro Court, Sonny tells Carly he remembers that today is the anniversary of Courtney’s death.

At the cemetery, Trina walks up behind Spencer. She wants to know why he is out of prison. He is concerned that somebody might be with her.

In the classroom, the video of Joss and Cam continues to play on the large screen. Joss yells for it to be turned off.

Lucy tells Portia and Curtis what a great house it is and that it would be a wonderful place to start a family.

Brando asks Sasha if she’s sure she won’t regret getting married so quickly without any friends or family there. She assures him she won’t. He is all she needs.

Back in the classroom, the teacher has dismissed class. She tells Joss and Cam that she’s sorry for not shutting down the video sooner. The kid who transferred it up to the large screen will face disciplinary action. She then cautions them to keep better track of their intimate, personal files. After she walks away, Joss and Cam look at each other, bewildered.

Spencer explains to Trina why he is at the cemetery. They hear someone start to approach. Spencer tells her not to let them know he is there. He runs and hides. Jordan walks up.

Carly asks Sonny if he would like a drink. He tells her he is trying to cut back. They discuss missing Courtney. Carly tells him that it hurts when she sees him, so maybe she should see him less.

Brando reminds Sasha that they never really discussed marriage before. She flashes back to holding Liam for the last time. She tells him that while they never specifically talked about marriage, they had been planning a life together. She is concerned that his feelings for her have changed. He assures her they haven’t; he just doesn’t understand why she wants to get married now.

Liz tells Finn that she didn’t sleep well. He mentions that he didn’t sleep well on the couch, either. She asks if he felt like he was being watched. He says  that he didn’t but felt that it was unsettling to find out Betsy wasn’t involved in the strange occurrences. He asks her if she’s asked for some sleep aid medication from her doctor. She replies that she’s taking something but doesn’t want to take anything too strong. She’s worried about her boys, especially Jake. He needs help, but she doesn’t think she can give it to him.

Jordan tells Trina that she heard voices. Trina said she was just taking voice notes on her phone for a class.

Joss and Cam are upset as they realize how many people have received their video. For a moment, Cam thinks Joss is accusing him of sending the video. Esme, eavesdropping outside the room, smiles.

Sasha tells Brando that she doesn’t see any reason to wait. Brando wants to make sure it’s about them and not Liam.

Finn and Liz discuss who might be behind the strange occurrences. They are worried that it might be Jake. Finn suggests that a change of scenery might help.  He wants to take her and the kids to the beach. She responds that she can’t go anywhere with him.

Portia and Curtis like the house. However, Curtis is concerned it’s too big. She reminds him that Trina will still be around for a few more years. She suggests that his dad could move in as well.

Jordan is at her old friend Mark’s grave. She says she is back and “the bad guys are on notice.”

Sonny tells Carly that he doesn’t want to be the reason she’s hurting. He suggests that they could go back to not seeing each other at all, like when he was dead. Carly laughs, and remarks, “Nina would love that.”  He tells her that if she wants to avoid him all together, then he’ll do it.

Spencer assures Trina that he didn’t escape;  Victor arranged for him to have a furlough. She calls him overprivileged and spoiled. He assures her that he’s only there because it’s his dead mom’s birthday. She is touched as he talks about Courtney.

Cam denies that he recorded them in bed. Joss apologies for doubting him, but she can’t figure out who would have done such a thing. Esme, still listening outside, makes a noise. She starts to run away, but Joss stops her.

Spencer tells Trina that he knows being his friend must be exhausting. She says that every time she’s ready to give up on him, he does something to redeem himself.

Esme, acting nice, says to Joss and Cam how awful it is about the video. They have her full support. She asks if there is any way it can be unsent or if it is just out there for the whole world to “enjoy.” Joss says that there is only one person enjoying this: “the bitch in front of me.”

Finn says to Elizabeth that he understands why they can’t go away, under the circumstances. She tells him she needs to concentrate on her boys. He  gets that because Violet is his priority. She responds that his coming in second won’t work for her, either.

Sasha thanks Brando for being honest. She tells him he brings her great joy, and she never wants to let him go.

Jordan comes into the Metro Court. She thanks Carly for her help with getting Cyrus. Sonny tells Jordan that they worked well together. She agrees but says that was when they had a common enemy — now their collaboration is over.

Curtis tells Portia that he’s not interested in having his father move in, but he does want to buy the house.

Trina tells Spencer to be careful. He is close to the end of his sentence and doesn’t shouldn’t do anything to miss it up. He asks her how she liked the book he gave her. She says she’ll discuss with him after her gets out of prison.

Esme denies that she had anything to do with the video. She claims that she only wants to be their friend.

Brando tells Sasha that he’ll marry her any time and place she wants.

Finn tells Liz he will give her some time, but he’ill wait for her.

Jordan tells Sonny that whatever happens, he should know she won’t be looking the other way.

Sasha takes a pill.

Spencer tells Courtney’s grave that the next time he comes back, he’ill be a free man… one she can be proud of.

As Esme continues to deny she is responsible for the video, Joss and Cam scoff that it’s obvious it was her. Esme says it couldn’t have been her because she wasn’t there. She says that they should blame someone who was.  Right then, they turn and look as Trina enters the room.

Jack looked at a picture of Keemo with some other women. He commented that his son looked so happy. Jack recognized Mai, Keemo’s half sister, but he didn’t know who the other two people were. Jack was frustrated because he wasn’t sure what to make of all this – lured here by an anonymous person, who had now gone radio silent. Phyllis suggested that this person just wanted to point Jack in the right direction.

Jack and Phyllis decided to go through Keemo’s box again and look for clues. Phyllis pulled out a silk scarf, and Jack took it from her. She asked if he recognized it. He didn’t, and that was the issue. He didn’t know anything about Keemo. To Jack, it was one thing to read letters Keemo addressed to him, but it was another to be rifling through through Keemo’s most prized possessions. Phyllis noted that Jack was going back and forth between being curious and feeling like he was violating Keemo’s memory. She bluntly told him that Keemo was gone. She said this box wasn’t left here by accident – the person who sent the texts wanted him to go through it. She understood if he didn’t want her to go through this with him. She was trying to be supportive. She told him he couldn’t give up. She thought the answers he was looking for were here.

Phyllis thought they should go rest and get some food. Jack said that was a good idea, but he went back to the box. He found tickets to a Broadway show and wondered who Keemo took with him. He found more postcards from Vietnam, a decoration from a wedding, and a necklace. Jack flashed back to giving that necklace to Luan on Christmas 1995. She wished she’d found something good to give him. He said she already gave him the greatest gift of all – the son he’d always wanted.

Jack told Phyllis about giving the gift to Luan. After she died, Jack sent it to Keemo, along with some other keepsakes. Jack found a picture of himself and Luan at their wedding in the box. He cried because it was a sign that Keemo never completely erased Jack from his life.

Jack thought he’d lost Luan forever, but the stars aligned and they found each other. Keemo had been hurt when they tracked him down at first – he felt abandoned. Jack won Keemo over, and he’d been the best man at the wedding. That was why it hurt more when Keemo cut Jack out. The wedding had been a mix of American and Vietnamese traditions. Luan wore red. There was a flashback to the wedding. In the present, Jack said that it was a miracle that he found Luan. Again. “We were supposed to spend the rest of our lives together as a family.

Jack found a statement of paternity in Keemo’s things. It was something Jack had drawn up and gave to Keemo after the wedding. Phyllis said it must’ve meant something to Keemo. It made Jack wonder if he and Keemo could’ve reconciled if they’d seen each other face to face. Phyllis saw no need for Jack to torture himself with what-ifs. Jack still wondered what if he’d disregarded all those angry emails and stood firm. He said it was a parent’s job to know when your child needed you to push back and see that there were needs underneath all that anger. Phyllis didn’t think Jack should go down that path. It was also hard for her to watch him struggle with this when there was no solution. He wasn’t sure he could get closure without asking the tough questions. She understood, but she didn’t think this was the time. She thought they should deal with the real reason they came here – figuring out who was sending the texts. He agreed that they should focus. He picked up the photo again, and she wondered if one of the women in it was sending the text messages.

Found another doctor who gave info to Baldwin. Took care of all three of them,” the text Ashland received said. Victoria was waiting for Ashland when he walked into the office. She wondered what took him so long, since they both left Crimson Lights at the same time. He said he got caught up by a traffic light. Earlier, he’d told her that there was something he needed to tell her about her father. Victoria wanted to know what was going on. She asked what Victor said to him in private.

Ashland was hesitant because Victoria was close to her dad. She said he knew she had a complicated relationship with her father, and she didn’t need to be protected from his latest machinations. Ashland told Victoria that some quack was saying he’d lied about his treatment and falsified medical records and faked cancer. Ashland said that, for some reason, Victor trusted this person. Victoria thought that was insane. Ashland said it got worse – Victor was threatening to tell Victoria all this if Ashland didn’t disappear from her life. Ashland was adamant that he did not fake his cancer. Victoria said this was outrageous. Ashland agreed, and that was why he was telling her this. He didn’t trust her father. Ashland didn’t want Victoria to hear this news from anyone else. Victoria asked why Victor suddenly turned on Ashland. Ashland didn’t know, unless Victor honestly believed the lies from this horrible doctor. Victoria said she met with Ashland’s oncologist in NY, and she’d seen his medical records – there was no doubt he had cancer. Victoria was sure her father would come to her if he really believed this, so she couldn’t imagine what Victor was thinking.

Ashland said Victor was a protective father and protective mogul, and maybe he didn’t want someone without Newman blood running the company. Victoria said people outside the family had been the CEO of Newman Enterprises. Ashland said Victor might want him out of the company. Victoria couldn’t believe her father would think she would find Ashland capable of doing something like this. He said that he’d been called the Locke Ness Monster. She hated the name – it bore no resemblance to the man she loved. He said the name fit like a glove once, but he changed because of her.

Victoria said Ashland was self-made, and she had nothing to do with the man he’d become. He thought she underestimated the effect she’d had on him. She said he’d gone through a lot, and it gave him a new perspective. He agreed, but he said their love made him a better man. He was eternally grateful she’d banished that other side of him forever. She’d learned that you couldn’t change a person unless they wanted to be changed. She knew he’d made bad choices, but so had her family, her father chief among them. That was why she couldn’t believe and accept that Victor turned on her and Ashland.

At Newman Media, Sally had been hesitant about leaving fashion for the business world, but she found this invigorating. Sally shifted gears and asked Adam how he thought Victoria was doing. She noted that he’d said Victoria might be headed for heartbreak. At that point, Victor showed up wanting a private word with his son. Sally said she’d go to Society, and Adam said he’d join her when he was finished. She left. Victor hoped Adam kept the details of Ashland’s latest deception to himself. Adam saw that Sally and Adam were close, and she wasn’t known for her deception. Adam hadn’t said a word about Ashland faking his illness. Victor told Ashland to get out of town and leave Victoria, or else Victor would tell her everything.

Victor said that if Victoria found out Ashland used her for the merger, she’d be devastated. Adam said that she’d be devastated either way, unless Nick was right and Victoria forgave Ashland for this, just as she forgave him for everything else. Victor didn’t think that would happen, but he was trying to protect the family by insisting that Ashland get out of town. Victor thought that it would be easier for Victoria to get over being left than to learn that Ashland used her and that the wedding was all a ruse.

Victor said he hadn’t been able to contact Michael since he confronted Ashland. Michael had assured Victor that he was sending all the pertinent information by courier. Victor got a call from an investigator. Michael and the two Peruvian doctors had disappeared. Adam wondered if Ashland got to them. Victor said he was going to deal with it.

Lauren and Chloe were at Society. Lauren was missing Michael. She’d been hesitant about him taking this job for Victor, because she knew it would take a lot of time, but now he was in Peru, and he kept saying he was coming home soon, but that clearly wasn’t true. She’d been trying to contact him since last night, but he wasn’t responding. Chloe said, if Michael was anything like Kevin, he didn’t like texting at work. Lauren sent another text. Lauren needed a distraction, so she asked how Chloe and Chelsea were coming along with the Sally-free fashion label. Chloe said that she and Chelsea were a little behind for the summer deadline, but Chelsea had pulled strings, and she thought they’d meet their goals. Sally walked in and asked how Chloe’s new line was going. Chloe said it was in the beginning stages, but it was going great. Chloe asked about Sally’s job. Sally found her new niche – she was good at business, and she and Adam made a great team.

Lauren excused herself. Sally wondered if it was something she said. “No doubt,” Chloe said. Chloe was happy Lauren stepped away though, because she wanted to talk to Sally. Chloe loved working with Sally, and she was proud of what they created at Newman Fashion. Sally said things had been great until Chelsea got involved. Sally really enjoyed working with Chloe too, and she was sorry it didn’t last, but it seemed like everyone landed where they were supposed to. Chloe hoped Sally hadn’t given up on her dreams. Sally saw Adam walking in and said she hadn’t given up on them at all.

Adam asked if Lauren heard from Michael. Lauren said that, since Michael was on business for Adam’s father, it seemed like they’d know more about what Michael was doing than she did. Adam was sure Lauren talked to Michael more often than Victor did. Adam and Sally went to their table. Lauren was feeling even more worried after Adam’s fake nonchalance. She called Victor and asked if he’d talked to Michael. He said he had been in regular contact with him. She asked him to tell Michael to call her the next time they talked. The call ended. Lauren told Chloe that she didn’t feel any better.

Sally thought she should be included on what was going on with the Newmans, since she worked at the family business. Adam told Sally not to push it. He told her that, for her own protection, she didn’t want to be anywhere near this, because it might not turn out how Victor hoped. She asked if Adam would be affected if Victor’s plan failed. Adam doubted it would effect him in a bad way. He said that if Victor miscalculated and it created a rift with Victoria, the dynamic might change at Newman Locke, which might work in Adam’s favor.

Victor called Ashland. “No more stalling. You have one hour or I take everything I know straight to Victoria,” Victor threatened. “Do it. I’m not going anywhere,” Ashland replied.

Ashland received an ominous text stating that Michael and the doctors who gave him information had been taken care of. Ashland told Victoria that Victor had been taken in by some quack who was saying Ashland never had cancer. Victoria was sure Ashland had cancer, as she’d talked to his oncologist in NY.

Sally tried to get Adam to give her the details on the Newman family drama, and he told her that, for her own good, it was best that she didn’t know.

GH Update Thursday, March 3, 2022

General Hospital Updates

Update written by Kathleen
Proofread by Suzanne

Sasha wakes up to find a shirtless Brando sitting on the side of the bed, holding two cups of coffee. They discuss how happy they are to be on vacation and to be together.

At the university, Trina’s teacher comes up to her after class. She is concerned that although Trina is doing well in the class, she is being very quiet. The teacher reminds her that class participation is part of her grade.

Outside a classroom, Cam asks Joss if things are still weird between her and Trina. She says Trina only comes back to their room to sleep and won’t return any of her texts or calls. They agree that things have been strange since they got back from the cabin. Joss says they are only getting worse, and she blames Esme.

Esme is at the Spring Ridge prison. She has flashbacks to setting up the phone at the cabin to video, switching phones and throwing away the pill bottle. Spencer is sitting at a table in the prison “lounge” reading “The Brothers Karamazov.” Esme comes up from behind him, kisses him and wishes him a belated happy birthday. He chastises her, saying she could get him into trouble if the wrong guard sees. She starts to leave but then turns around and asks why he is in such a bad mood.

Carly is behind the bar at the Metro Court, looking at her phone with an unhappy look on her face. Sam comes up and says that the day of hatchet-throwing must not have helped. Carly tells her it did help her blow off some steam, but she was sad today. She says she has been thinking about Courtney and holds up a phone with Courtney’s picture on it. She says that today is the anniversary of her death.

Sonny is standing over Courtney’s grave. He says her son is a full-grown man and has gotten into trouble. He tells her couldn’t be there last year on this day and he’s sure she knows why. He says that he knows she is always watching out for him. He wants her to know she is always in his heart. Just then, Nikolas walks up, holding flowers, and says she is always in his heart, too. They glare at each other.

Back at the Metro Court, Laura looks concerned as she sees Victor greet Ava with a kiss on the cheek. Victor declines Ava’s invitation to join her and Nik for brunch. Laura asks Victor if he has been keeping a low profile in order avoid being implicated in an ongoing investigation.

Drew and Anna come out of Kelly’s and comment on how cold it is outside. Drew says it was too bad they weren’t in PC during the heat wave. Anna says she wanted to talk to him because she is worried about him. She thinks Victors is up to something dangerous.

Back at the cemetery, Sonny tells Nik he didn’t expect to see him there. He responds that he loved Courtney and wanted to marry her. Sonny asks him, if Courtney had lived, does he think they would still be together. Nik first says, “yes,” but then says he doesn’t know. Sonny tells him that at least he’s being honest. He reminds him that she will always be the mother of his child – just like Carly will always be the mother of Sonny’s children.

At the Metro Court, Carly says that she feels like all her connections to Courtney are slipping away. Sam says that although she and Courtney were not friends, perhaps if she had lived, they could have become friends. If she and Elizabeth can be friends, anything is possible.

Victor tells Laura he has no idea what she is talking about. She flashes back to telling Sam her suspicions about the Ice Princess and Luke’s death. He asks her if she is trying to accuse him of having something to do with Peter. After Victor leaves, Laura asks Ava what is going on between them.

Back outside of Kelly’s, Anna tells Drew about Liesel bugging Victor and that she heard the conversation when Victor tried to activate Drew with the card. He asks if she’s talked about what Victor might be up to with Valentin because he usually has great insights. She says that she had informed him that Valentin had developed an infection and was being treated at a clinic out of town. Anna says she hopes that they can expose Victor before Valentin comes home. She fears that Victor will try and exploit the father-son relationship the way he does with the rest of his family.

At Spring Ridge, Spencer apologizes to Esme. He says he’s upset because it is the anniversary of his mother’s death,  and he can’t place flowers on her grave.

At the university, Trina is short with Joss when she asks about a class. Joss asks if Trina is still mad at her because of what happened the other day with Esme.

Back at the prison, Esme offers to place flowers at the grave for Spencer. He becomes upset that he can’t do it himself because of choices he made and that she doesn’t understand. She responds sarcastically  that Trina would.

Brando and Sasha are sitting on the bed, kissing. They decide to blow off their other vacation plans and stay in bed. They fall back on the bed, kissing.

At the cemetery, Sonny tells Nik that Courtney would have been a good mother. Nik says she would have been a good influence on Spencer. Maybe she could have negated some of the mistakes he made. When Sonny doesn’t respond, Nik tells him he is supposed to say he did the best he could. Sonny says he’s not going to lie. He doesn’t believe that.

Trina and Joss argue about the situation with Esme. When Joss mentions the book Spencer gave Trina, Cam questions her about it. Trina tells him it wasn’t a Valentine’s Day present; she just happened to receive in from Spenser via Laura on Valentine’s Day. Trina gets on Joss about not keeping confidences. Joss apologies for betraying her trust but won’t apologize for defending friends.

Spencer wonders why Esme never talks about her parents. She says she doesn’t like talking about them. She asks about the gift he gave Trina. He says he always gives thank you gifts because it’s easier than writing notes. It was just a coincidence that his grandmother gave it to her on Valentine’s Day. Victor walks up and apologizes for not visiting him on his birthday.

Ava asks Laura if she doesn’t trust her. Laura says it looked like she and Victor were too cozy. Ava says she doesn’t trust Victor.

Drew tells Anna he doesn’t understand what use he would be to Victor. Anna says she thinks Victor may think Drew has useful information.

Laura tells Ava that she can’t say anything negative about Victor to Nik or Spencer. It would only drive them closer to him. However, she knows Ava is smarter than that.

Sonny and Nik continue to discuss Nik’s parenting. Nik says he can’t change the past. Sonny tells him he should own and admit his mistakes and more forward.

Sam tells Carly things are great with Dante. Carly asks about her relationship with Drew. Sam says they decided they were better as friends and co-parents. She asks Carly why she is interested. She responds that she just wants to look out for him because he has been looking out for her recently.

Laura encourages Ava to get close to Victor in hopes he will slip up and say something about what he might be planning.

Back over at the bar, Carly tells Sam that Drew is easy to talk to. Laura walks up to talk to Sam. She tells her some details have come to light about Victor’s associate, Johann. She thought she should know because it involves Drew.

After walking away from Victor and Spencer, Esme looks down at a phone with a shot of Joss and Cam in bed. She says to herself, “time to get this done.”  Spencer complains to Victor about not being able to leave flowers on his mother’s grave but says he could do it if Victor would bust him out.

As Drew and Anna are discussing Victor wanting access to Drew’s old memories, Laura and Sam walk up. Laura tells Anna she thinks Drew has a right to know the truth.

Spencer tries to get Victor into arranging a furlough for him to visit the grave. He tells him they are Cassadines and family is everything.

Trina and Joss continue to argue. Trina tells Joss it’s not always about her. She should think about what she is going through. Esme walks up and says that they can cut the tension with a knife.

After Nik leaves, Sonny speaks to the grave. He tells Courtney he will watch out for Spencer, just like he knows she is watching out for all of his lost loved ones.

In bed, Brando and Sasha tell each other, “I love you.” They discuss how much better sex is in a bed instead of where they were the first time, in the backseat of a car. Sasha excuses herself to another room and takes some pills.

Joss tells Trina that she’ll skip class so they can talk some more. Trina tells her no, “maybe some other time.”

Nik comes into the Metro Court. He tells Carly that Courtney would be proud of what she has done with the hotel. She tells him he just missed his mother and that she seemed to be getting into it with Victor and Ava.

Anna and Laura tell Drew that they think Victor had something to do with Luke’s death. Drew wonders what it could have to do with him, since he barely knew Luke. Anna thinks that there are common threads. She suggests that they go to Austria to investigate. Laura thinks that could be risky. Sam says there could be another way.

Sasha, acting slightly under the influence, says she is loving their time away and dreads going back to real life. Brandon says he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. She says they should do it and get married today.

Sonny is getting out of an elevator at the Metro Court, just as Carly is about to get in.

Sam tells Drew that something in his past motivated Victor to help Peter escape. Laura wonders if Victor got a hold of Andre Maddox about Drew’s memories. Anna says she’ll contact him, but she is certain he would never reveal anything. They talk about setting some kind of trap for Victor.

Victor (still at the prison) is on the phone telling someone that he fears this is the calm before the storm.

Nik asks Ava what she and his mother were discussing. Carly had told him that it looked intense. She told him it was nothing – Laura just wanted to make sure she was taking good care of him. She suggests they invite Victor to dinner.

Spencer is at Courtney’s grave when Trina walks up, surprised, and wants to know why he is out of prison.

Joss, Cam and Esme are in class. The teacher is doing a presentation on a large screen. Esme picks up her phone. There is a screenshot of Joss and Cam in bed. As Joss gets up to leave class, Esme hits an upload file button on the phone.  The phones of everyone in the class start to go off,  and they start to laugh. The teacher asks what’s so important. One of the kids in the class transfers the video of Joss and Cam onto the large screen. Joss and Cam look horrified. Esme looks very pleased.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jennifer: Jack. Jack! Jack.

Jack: Jennifer. Jennifer.

Jennifer: Oh, there you are. Okay, “the spectator” just published the article about abigail’s disappearance.

Jack: Jennifer.

Jennifer: They have it online; I have a hard copy.

Jack: Jennifer!

Jennifer: What?

Jack: I have news.

Jennifer: What?

Jack: I heard from chad. He and tony know where abigail is.

Jennifer: What? Jack, where is she? Where is she? Are they gonna bring her home? What’s happening?

Jack: Yes, yes.

Jennifer: Okay.

Jack: If everything’s going right…

Jennifer: Yeah.

Jack: And well, chad should be rescuing her as we speak.

Jennifer: Oh, jack. Oh, gosh.

Sarah: Tony! Oh, my darling. Oh, I can’t believe you’re here.

Anna: It’s valentine’s day, and I’m all alone. I can’t reach my husband. I have no idea where he is or if he’s okay.

[Sighs] So now, I have to stress eat. Hey, who ate all the chocolate-covered cherries? Oh, tony, when are you coming home?

Tony: I’m sorry. Did you just call me your love?

Sarah: Well, of course, that’s what you are. That’s what you’ll always be.

[Giggles]

Chad: What the–

Abigail: I can explain, I think.

Kayla: That’s not funny, kristen.

Kristen: Who’s laughing?

Kayla: Telling us that you drugged the food that we just ate is just– is that your–is that your idea of a sick joke? Because it isn’t, and obviously, obviously, you didn’t do it.

Steve: What would be the point; you’re already holding us captive.

Kayla: Yeah, you wouldn’t need to sedate us.

Kristen: If you think I gave you a sedative, oh, you’re wrong. See, I gave you something a little bit stronger.

Steve: How strong?

Kristen: Oh, strong enough to permanently solve my problem that you two have been causing me. I do hope you enjoyed your anniversary. It may be your last.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Steve: We knew you were dangerous, but murder?

Kristen: Come on, chill out. No one’s gonna die.

Kayla: But you said–

Kristen: Oh, that I drugged you? Yeah, um, yes I did, but not with poison.

Steve: With what then?

Kristen: Oh, with this nifty little concoction that will make you forgot this whole ordeal. See, I can’t keep the two of you here on this island forever, nor would I want to. Frankly, you’re such lousy company. And lucky for you, I’m not interested in killing you. So, it would really suck if you remembered this little vacay and could testify against me.

Steve: What the hell are you talking about?

Kristen: Sorry, kids. But I’m afraid the island chicken comes with a side of amnesia.

[Screams]

Tony: My dear, what has come over you?

Sarah: Well, I know that I should wait until we’re alone to show my affection, but I just can’T.

Tony: No, no, no, no. That’s enough. You got to stop kissing me.

Sarah: Why?

Tony: Why? Because I’m a happily married man.

[Phone trilling]

Anna: Pick up. Pick up.

[Voicemail beeps] Straight to voicemail. The heck with this. I’m going to go get some answers.

Xander: Whenever we’re alone like this, I just lose all track of time.

Gwen: Really? Well, I know exactly what time it is. It’s time to eat. I’m starving.

Xander: Oh, ditching me for room service. Well, that’s very rude. Come back to bed right now.

Gwen: I will. I just want a few nibbles. Xander.

Xander: I want a few nibbles as well.

Gwen: Here you go.

[Chuckles]

[Both moaning] Um, xander. Um, there’s something I’d– I’d like to talk to you about. I just want to be serious for a minute.

Xander: Of course.

Gwen: Yeah.

Xander: What’s on your mind?

Gwen: Um… our wedding.

Xander: My favorite subject.

Gwen: Yes, well we do have a few details to sort out, don’t we?

Xander: Like what?

Gwen: Like when and where.

Xander: What about st. Luke’s?

Gwen: Right, yeah, the two town pariahs in front of god and everybody. Cue the lightning bolts.

Xander: We’re not so bad. My cousin, ciara, married a serial killer in that church.

Gwen: That sounds lovely. No, I was actually thinking that we could choose somewhere that’s a bit more personal to us.

Xander: Oh, like the– the horton family home?

Gwen: Do you want julie’s pacemaker to stop?

Xander: Good point. Well, let’s just table the venue for now. We’ll discuss the wedding party. I’m gonna ask jack to be my best man. Maybe jennifer would stand up for you?

Gwen: Come on, she thinks I killed her mother.

Xander: Not anymore. She knows that was an accident.

Gwen: Yes, still, it’s in poor taste.

Xander: Wait, I’ve got it, the perfect maid of honor.

Gwen: Who?

Xander: Ava vitali.

Gwen: Why would you suggest that I ask ava vitali to stand up for me at our wedding?

Xander: Well, why not? You–you said you two got close after her son died.

Gwen: No, I said that I offered my condolences because I knew charlie in passing.

Xander: Hm. I got the impression that you two formed a deeper connection, both having lost a child.

Gwen: My god, xander, I mean I just said a few kind words to the woman. You’re making it sound like we’re bosom buddies or something.

Xander: No need to get upset. It was just an idea.

Gwen: [Sighs] Sorry. Sorry. I will find someone. It just–it won’t be ava or jennifer.

Xander: Did you read her article about abigail?

Gwen: Yes, it was heart-wrenching.

Xander: A mother reporting on her daughter’s disappearance. I can’t imagine how difficult that must be, for jack as well. Hey, maybe we should swing by there, you know, express our support. Then I can ask jack if he’ll stand up for me while we’re there.

Gwen: Um, I think you should probably do that on your own because some things are sort of tense between abigail and I. I’m sure I’m the last person that they want to see.

Xander: Gwen, darling, if you’re still upset that your dad suspected that you had something to do with her disappearance, it’s like you said. That was just the worry talking. Jack knows you have no idea where your sister is. And when you told him that he could lean on you, it was clear how much that meant.

Gwen: He can lean on me. But you–you are asking him to be your best man. And, well, I think that that’s a moment that should be shared between just the two of you.

Xander: All right. Well, I’ll give him your love.

Gwen: Please do. Cheeky.

[Soft dramatic music]

Jennifer: But why would kristen go after abigail unless she was involved in sarah’s disappearance, jack?

Jack: Who knows what kristen’s thinking, why she does what she does? But at least when chad gets home with abigail, he will have some answers.

Jennifer: Oh, I hope he does.

Anna: Oh. Thank god you’re here.

Both: Anna.

Anna: I’m sorry. I’m sorry to just barge in like this, but the door was open and I’m going out of my mind with worry…

Jennifer: No, anna–

Anna: About tony, about abigail, about chad. No one will return my calls or my texts.

Jennifer: No, anna, we have really good news.

Anna: You do?

Both: Yes.

Jack: We know where abigail is, thanks to tony and chad. They’re on the way to her right now.

Anna: Oh, my gosh. That’s really great news. Oh, how wonderful. You must be so relieved.

Both: Yes.

Anna: Where is she?

Jack: Well, kristen has been holding her hostage on this abandoned dimera island. The one, you know, that’s off the coast of cartagena.

Anna: Oh, that island? Oh, wow. Well, I’m very happy for you, for all of us.

Jack: Well, you don’t look very happy. What is it, anna?

Anna: Well, it’s just that I know that island in question. I mean, I guess we’ve all heard of it, right? But for me, personally– never mind, I’m not going to rain on your parade with my selfish reaction.

Jennifer: Could you just tell us what you’re thinking, anna?

Anna: Well, I happen to know that my tony spent an extended holiday on that island with his very unstable– maybe I should say bonkers ex-lover, renée dumonde.

Sarah: I should have known that she was the reason you were being so cold to me.

Tony: Who is she?

Sarah: Your so-called wife. She’s been a thorn in my side since you two started dating, which you only did to get over me because we thought we were siblings.

Chad: I’m sorry, what?

Sarah: Don’t you see, tony? It didn’t work then and it won’t work now. You’ll never get over me.

Tony: Oh, dear god. Please help me.

Abigail: That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you. Sarah thinks that she’s renée dumonde.

Steve: Not so tough now, are you?

Kristen: Oh, enjoy your victory while you still remember it, ’cause you won’t once the drugs kick in.

Steve: Just how much of that crap did you put in our food anyway?

Kristen: Oh, enough to obliterate the memories of a herd of elephants.

Steve: I still think she’s bluffing.

Kristen: I assure you, I’m not. So if I were you, I would take this time that you have left to reminisce. You know, to reflect on all those warm and fuzzy moments you had with your children, with each other. Because soon, your epic love affair with the ole patch here, it will permanently fade to black.

Is now a good time

for a flare-up?

Tony: How is this possible? How can sarah horton think she’s renée dumonde?

Sarah: Ugh, god, not you too. I can understand this sarah nonsense from these two. But you? The only man I’ve ever truly loved? We can talk about it on the way to salem. All right, I’ve been stuck on this island for long enough. Let’s go.

Chad: We’ll be right down.

Sarah: Wonderful. That gives tony and i a moment to be alone.

Anna: Thank you. So my tony got that shady dimera pilot to come clean, huh?

Jennifer: Yes, and we are so grateful, anna.

Jack: Beyond grateful. I mean, without tony, I don’t think we’d– we wouldn’t have found her.

Anna: Well, as I’m sure you know, tony is devoted to all his brothers, but especially chad. And he would do anything for him.

Jennifer: Well, he really has gone above and beyond for what he’s done for chad this time. And for us too.

Jack: Yes. I mean I–hey, I need to let gwen know abigail’s coming home. Gwen has been so worried.

Anna: Well, how is your other daughter, jack?

Jack: Oh, doing very well, thank you–getting married, in fact.

Anna: [Laughs] Married? Really? Oh. Well, I’m so–that just surprises me, frankly.

Jack: Surprised, why?

Anna: Well–uh, never mind.

Jack: Tell us, anna.

Anna: Well, I don’t want to be insensitive, but– I mean, I know she is your daughter, but she has created a world of problems since she came to salem. I’m just wondering who– who would have the tolerance to put up with her tendency to lie, to be vindictive? I mean, what man would have the patience and fortitude to share his life with a woman like gwen?

Xander: That man would be me.

[Knocking on door]

Gwen: Bloody hell.

[Sighs]

Ava: Hey.

Gwen: What are you doing here?

Ava: We got a problem.

Chad: So kristen injected sarah with the same drug gwen used in your champagne?

Abigail: Yes. And I feel awful because I know firsthand the damage that that drug can do. You’re confused, and you have hallucinations. You feel terrified. And now sarah thinks she’s an entirely different person.

Chad: Right. There’s one thing I don’t get, is how did the drug give her my dead sister’s memories?

Abigail: Renée’s memories didn’t come from the drug. They came from her diary.

Sarah: But tony, we can’t leave. We have to eat first.

Tony: Oh, we can eat on the plane.

Sarah: But my sister went to the trouble of cooking up a feast for tonight. She made my famous island chicken. It would be an insult not to stay and enjoy it.

Tony: Oh, I’m sure she’ll understand.

Sarah: You listen to me! No one is going anywhere until we all sit down together and have a meal. I won’t take no for an answer.

[Laughs]

Kayla: We need to find the others before our memories fade. If we tell sarah and abigail what kristen’s done, then they can alert the hospital, and the staff can help us out as soon as we get home.

Kristen: Good luck with that, considering I drugged sarah and abigail too.

Steve: You did what?

Kristen: Oh, yeah, that’s right. All of my guests are having my very special island chicken tonight. By morning, none of you will remember how to tie your own shoes.

[Laughs]

Only daisy cottage cheese will do

Abigail: When sarah first got here, she was just like I was after gwen had drugged me. So to keep her calm and occupied, kristen gave her a bunch of books to read.

Chad: And renée’s diary was one of them?

Abigail: Yeah. Yeah, and she became so obsessed with the story, she started to think the entries were hers. And then she had a year to sink deeper and deeper into that delusion.

Chad: Poor sarah. Well, the good news is is we found you so we can head back to salem, and we can get her the help she needs.

Abigail: If I may ask, how did you find me? Not that i didn’t think you would.

Chad: Yeah. Um, ned grainger actually told us where you were.

Abigail: The pilot.

Chad: Mm-hmm. An eyewitness confirmed that he flew out of the airfield the same night you disappeared. I didn’t think that was a coincidence. But there was no flight plan. There was no security cam footage, and I didn’t know what to do. Luckily–luckily tony knew this ned guy a little bit.

Abigail: So you were able to just track him down?

Chad: Yeah, in florida. Tony convinced him to tell us where you were. And now we know kristen put him up to kidnapping you and flying you out here.

Abigail: Actually, it wasn’t kristen. It was ava.

Gwen: Are you mad? Xander could have seen you.

Ava: Relax. I watched him leave, I waited a bit, and then I came up.

Gwen: Why are you here?

Ava: I told you. We got a problem. I saw your step-monster’s article.

Gwen: Oh, that.

Ava: Uh, yeah, that. The deverauxs are back, and they’re using their newspaper to make a big stink about their missing daughter. It’s bad, gwen. It’s very, very bad.

Gwen: Okay, just calm down.

Ava: Well, that’s easy for you to say because abigail didn’t see you wearing the sarah mask.

Gwen: Which is not necessarily a problem.

Ava: I’m sorry, are you joking? What do you think is gonna happen if chad and tony bring dr. Horton and her chatterbox of a cousin back alive and well?

Jack: So xander, I’m sure anna didn’t mean to–

Anna: No, no, no. Jack, don’t apologize for me, ’cause I actually meant to say exactly what I said. And I’m sorry. I wish I didn’t feel the way I do because I care about you. And I realize, jack, that because she is your daughter, that you have tender feelings for her, but I don’T.

Xander: Really? I never would have known.

Jennifer: You know what? I just think we should stay off the subject of gwen right now, right?

Xander: No, no, no. No, let’s stay on the subject. I’d love to. And what I’d like to say is that gwen was deeply unhappy and very angry when she came to salem. That led to her consequently behaving rather badly.

Anna: [Laughs] Rather badly?

Xander: But she’s changed. She’s a wonderful, big-hearted person who feels deep regret for the hurt she caused the people that she now considers to be her family. Never mind “considers,” they are her family, and she’s terribly sorry for the way she behaved towards them.

Anna: Hm. You sure about that?

Jennifer: Anna, please.

Anna: All right, all right. Okay. I’ll shut up now. But I’m sorry– well, I’m not sorry about what I said about gwen. But I am sorry for all of you people in this room who now trust that woman. I mean, she was hired as a nanny to abigail and chad’s kids. And then she sleeps with chad just to ruin abigail’s life? And look what she tried to do to your marriage, you two. Letting you know that he had an affair while you were in a coma? And to what purpose? Spite or whatever?

Jennifer: I’ve gotten past that, anna.

Anna: Well, you are a more forgiving person than I am, because I could never get past the fact that someone took a wrecking ball to my life the way she did to yours and jack’s and to chad and abigail’S.

Xander: Look, can I please just get a word in here?

Anna: No. No. Because I know you’re just gonna go on some more about the big change in her. And yes, people can change. But in the case of gwen rizczech or riz–whatever, however you pronounce her name, I suggest you be careful, xander, because you never know what a woman like that could still be hiding.

Tony: Well, shall we get on with this?

[Both chuckle] Oh, everything looks delicious. Oh. Ow!

Sarah: Daphne dimera raised you better than that. It’s polite to wait until everyone is seated. Really, you were so concerned with decorum earlier. It’s obvious that anna’s lack of breeding has rubbed off on you. But don’t worry, I’ll fix it. I wonder what’s keeping abigail and my long-lost little brother.

Chad: Ava vitali was the one in the sarah mask?

Abigail: I know, it makes no sense. Why would ava want to hurt sarah?

Chad: I don’t know, maybe she was doing it to help a friend.

Abigail: You mean kristen?

Chad: Yeah, they were close at one point.

Abigail: But close enough to want to commit multiple felonies for her?

Chad: She’s in the mob. It’s kind of right up her alley.

Abigail: True.

Chad: Wait, so you– so you ripped off the mask, and then somebody just hit you from behind? Were you able to see whoever it was before you lost consciousness?

Abigail: No, no. The only person I know for sure was there is ava. Of course, maybe we could ask aunt kayla and uncle steve if they have any other insights. We should probably go find them.

Chad: Steve and kayla?

Abigail: Yeah. Kristen kidnapped them in italy and brought them here.

Chad: Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s go.

Trelegy for copd.

Jennifer: Look, uh, what if we try a more neutral subject to talk about?

Anna: That’s fine. I’ve had my say about gwen. Not another word.

Jack: Very good, very good. So xander, we just wanted to tell you– ’cause anna’s already heard the news, that abigail is coming home.

Xander: What?

Jennifer: Yes.

Xander: Oh, you waited this long to tell me?

Jack: Well, I couldn’t get a word in edgewise.

Xander: That is tremendous, tremendous news. That’s why I came over. Gwen and I read jennifer’s article in “the spectator,” and we wanted to express our support.

Anna: Oh, really? And, uh, where is gwen and all her support?

Xander: Well, if you must know, anna, as concerned as gwen was about her sister, she encouraged me to come here without her, given the still strained relationship between her and abigail.

Anna: How sensitive of her.

Jack: Anna, please.

Anna: Okay, all right. All right. On a happier note, it’ll be so wonderful and such a relief when abigail and chad and tony all come back safely to salem.

Jennifer: Yes.

Xander: On that, we can all agree. I know gwen feels the same.

Gwen: You need to stop, okay? Because your speculation, your doomsaying, is not helpful.

Ava: Oh, I’m sorry, gwen. Am I making you nervous?

Gwen: Yes.

Ava: Good. You should be. You should be freaking out, because if sarah and abigail get back here and they start squawking, it’s not just my life that’s gonna go up in smoke. It’s yours too.

Gwen: Kristen’s not gonna let that happen because she promised.

Ava: You think she’s gonna keep her promise?

Gwen: Well, she’s your friend, isn’t she?

Ava: A friend who blackmailed us into helping her escape. Trust me. If kristen’s back is up against the wall, she’s not gonna think twice about selling us out. And if she starts singing, then it is bye-bye, boyfriend. Bye-bye, daddy. Hello, statesville.

Kristen: Ah!

Steve: This should hold her for a while.

Kayla: Come on. Let’s go find abigail and sarah.

Kristen: Well, you better hope that they still remember you. I guess this is goodbye.

Kayla: Oh, no. No, no, no. You are going back to salem, where you’re gonna pay for everything you’ve done. Make no mistake, you’ll see us again.

Kristen: Oh, but by then, you won’t have a clue who I am or why I’m about to kill you.

[Laughing]

[Suspenseful music]

Chad: We need to find steve and kayla.

Tony: They’re here?

Chad: Apparently.

Abigail: Do you know where they are?

Sarah: I might have an idea or two.

Abigail: Could you take us to them, please?

Sarah: No can do, sis. I don’t trust that steve. He threatened kristen. I think he might be that serial killer that she warned me about.

Abigail: Um, okay, steve is my uncle. He’s a wonderful man. Can you please just take us to him and kayla?

Sarah: Okay, I will, right after we eat.

Abigail: We need to go now.

Sarah: Let me make myself clear. If you want to see your aunt and uncle, you will pull up a chair and join us.

Abigail: Fine.

[Tense music]

Chad: So, have you had any problems with the food on the island?

Abigail: Of course I was worried that I was gonna be poisoned, but it’s either eat or starve, so. Food’s been fine so far. This should be fine too.

Sarah: It is better than fine. It is the best chicken you will have in your life, so eat. And then I will take you o steve and kayla, I promise. Come on. What could be the harm in all of us having a nice family dinner together?

[Laughs] Rob did his best to manage his constipation

Gwen: By the way, xander’s not my boyfriend. He’s my fiancé.

Ava: Congratulations. Hm. Anyway, sorry I got a little worked up before.

Gwen: A little?

Ava: All right, the article threw me a little bit. But I’m happy for you, gwen, I really am. Guess what. My son is proposing to his girlfriend tonight.

Gwen: Wow.

Ava: Mm-hmm.

Gwen: Must be something in the water.

Ava: Don’t think so, because I’m drinking it, and nobody’s asking for my hand. Looks like everyone’s getting their happily ever after but me.

Gwen: Ava.

Ava: No, no, it’s all good. I mean, who needs love when you’ve got revenge to keep you warm?

Gwen: I will tell you that revenge does not solve anything. No, it doesn’t– does not make you feel better. It just makes you feel worse. You have to find another way.

Ava: Well, I tried, gwen. I went legit. I decided to stop being so possessive and paranoid. And what’d that get me? A boyfriend who cheated on me with my best friend.

Gwen: Which is awful.

Ava: Yeah. It’s not your problem, it’s mine. But seriously, congratulations. I’m sure that you and xander are going to have a long and happy life together. See ya.

Anna: So on that happy note where we’re all relieved– no, thrilled that your daughter and her husband and my husband will soon be home in salem safe and sound, I guess I better go.

Jack: Of course.

Jennifer: Yes, so good to see you, anna.

Anna: You too as well, my dear. And xander, I strongly urge you to heed my warning about gwen.

Xander: And I urge you, anna, to keep an open mind about my fiancée, who actually speaks quite highly of you.

Anna: [Laughs] Really? Yeah, I bet she’s just wild about me.

Xander: Well, she believes people can change, so she’s confident that one day, you’ll change your mind about her, maybe even offer her your hand in friendship.

Anna: Oh, well, not very likely, but I suppose stranger things have happened. So I’ll see you all soon.

Jennifer: Yes, goodbye.

Jack: Yes. Thank you, yes.

Anna: Just once again, congratulations on the wonderful news.

Jennifer: Yes.

Jack: Thanks.

All: Goodbye.

Jack: Bye.

Anna: Bye.

Jennifer: Bye.

Jack: Goodbye.

Jennifer: Wow.

Xander: Well, that was delightful.

Jennifer: Whew.

Jack: Anna can be outspoken.

Xander: That’s one word for it. Hey, now that we have a moment, just us, and you’ve gotten that great news about abigail, I just wanted to ask you, jack, if you’d be my best mate when I marry your other daughter?

Jack: Well, I– I have to think about it. Okay, I’ve thought about it, and yes, I’d be glad and happy to be your best mate.

[All laughing]

Xander: Well, I’m glad and happy to be your mate and soon, your son-in-law.

Jack: And that will make me a lucky man indeed.

Abigail: Well, the sooner we finish, the sooner sarah will take us to find aunt kayla and uncle steve.

Chad: I got to admit, this island chicken is actually really good.

Sarah: [Chuckles]

Kayla: No!

Steve: Don’t eat that chicken!

Kayla: Don’t eat the chicken!

Abigail: Oh, steve!

Kayla: My god, it’s too late.

Chad: What do you mean it’s too late? My asthma felt anything but normal.

Kayla: How much did you eat?

Chad: I ate half a chicken!

Sarah: Would you all calm down, please? No one has been poisoned.

Kayla: That’s not true. Kristen told us that she drugged the food.

Sarah: And I’m telling you she didn’T. I switched it out.

Tony: Switched it out with what?

Sarah: I found this earlier in the kitchen when kristen was cooking. It was filled with this weird, cloudy liquid, and it had a feather next to it. And then I remembered kristen telling me that the serial killer that was after me used a raven’s feather as his calling card.

Kayla: Well, that’s probably just a chicken feather.

Sarah: Well, we can’t be too careful. So I poured out the liquid, and I–I cleaned it very well. And then I filled it up with milk.

Chad: Just regular milk?

Sarah: We have goats here.

Abigail: So we’re not in any danger?

Sarah: Well, not unless you’re lactose intolerant.

Jack: For you, my love.

Jennifer: [Gasps] Oh. What is this? Why are you giving me this rose?

Jack: I don’t know. Check your calendar.

Jennifer: [Gasps] Jack. It’s valentine’s day. Oh.

Jack: All day long.

Jennifer: I feel terrible. What–I– oh, with everything going on, how did you even find time to shop?

Jack: Well, as a matter of fact, I’ve got a little story, mrs. Deveraux. You see, a long time ago, this plucky, young intern–

Jennifer: Plucky, I like it.

Jack: Yeah. Her name was jennifer rose horton, or ms. Horton for short.

Jennifer: Mm-hmm.

Jack: She came storming into my office, my newsroom, and my life and turned everything upside down and taught me a thing or two about faith.

Jennifer: Is that right?

Jack: Oh, yes. And with that faith, I decided to distract my mind for half an hour from worrying about our daughter to make sure that her mother had a valentine’s day to remember.

Jennifer: Bless your sweet heart, jack.

Jack: And that faith assured me that abigail would be coming home, the same way that I will always come home to you, my ms. Horton, jennifer rose.

Jennifer: I love you forever, jack deveraux.

Jack: I love you.

Jennifer: Happy valentine’S.

Jack: Happy valentine’s day.

Chad: What are we doing up here? We have to get on the jet and go home.

Abigail: I just want to grab this. We might need it if we want to be able to speak to renéE. I just really want sarah to be okay.

Chad: When we get home, we’re gonna be able to get her the help that she needs, okay? And I got to say how impressed I am that you knew that that was not sarah back in salem. I mean, I still can’t believe that it was ava.

Abigail: Neither can I.

Chad: As soon as we get home, she’s going down, and so is her accomplice.

Gwen: How did it go with jack and jennifer?

Xander: Interesting.

Gwen: Interesting? How so?

Xander: Anna dimera was there.

Gwen: Oh. Yeah. She’s my biggest fan.

Xander: Forget that old windbag, I have some good news.

Gwen: Do you? Tell me.

Xander: Yeah, well, for starters, your dad agreed to stand up for me.

Gwen: Xander, that is wonderful.

Xander: That’s not all. Looks like abigail will be back in time for our wedding.

Gwen: What?

Xander: They found abigail. She’s coming home.

Sarah: You have no idea how happy I am that we’re finally together.

Tony: I have some idea.

Sarah: I can’t wait to get back to salem. Our first stop is gonna be divorce court.

Tony: Who’s getting divorced?

Sarah: You are. You’re going to kick that hideous anna to the curb.

Tony: Huh?

Sarah: [Laughs]

Kayla: I can’t wait to see kristen’s face when she finds out their plane was ruined.

Steve: Yeah, by her precious renee and some goat’s milk.

Kayla: She’s gone.
