Recap written by Christine

When Adam woke up, Sally happened to be outside his door. He asked if she slept well. Jack was walking by and overheard Sally say she got more sleep than she would’ve if she spent the night with Adam. Sally told Jack she was just thanking Adam for bringing her here. She brought up her success with the dress. Jack didn’t think this was any of his business. Sally left to pack. Adam told Jack that Sally was just a friend. Jack didn’t think he was owed an explanation. Adam said he wasn’t standing in Jack’s way if he was interested in Sally. Jack clarified that that ship sailed long ago. Jack sensed something was going on with Adam and Sally, and he warned Adam to be careful and remember the adage about playing with fire. Jack left.

Lily woke up and reached for Billy, who was already awake and using his phone. He told her that he didn’t sleep last night. He stated that Victor openly declared war on him and ChancComm. Lily wasn’t surprised, since Victor had been dying to go after ChancComm. Billy felt like the timer was about to go off. She suggested Victor was just trying to rattle him, and it seemed to be working since he couldn’t sleep. He said he wasn’t intimidated, he was motivated to be prepared. He looked online to see if Gaines followed through with the threat to post the video if ChancComm didn’t.

Lily and Billy both looked, and they saw no evidence that Gaines posted the video. Billy thought it was weird. Lily suggested that Gaines backed down, like Ashland said. Billy took whatever Ashland said with a grain of salt. She was just glad ChancComm didn’t post the video, so they could move on. He said that if they’d posted the video, they could’ve controlled the narrative. She felt that there were a thousand reasons not to post it, one of which was that he deleted the video. He noted that there was other evidence backing up what Gaines said. She reminded him that running the story could permanently damage his relationship with the mother of his children. He decided to go for a walk to think about what to do.

When Phyllis woke up, she saw that Nick was already packing. She guessed he couldn’t wait to get out of here. She asked when they were leaving, and he informed her that he wasn’t going back to Genoa City right now. He was going to spend a few days with Noah in London. She was caught off guard to learn that she’d be going to Genoa City alone. He invited her to come if she wanted. “If I want,” she repeated. She said it was fine; she had to get back to the hotel. He understood, and he promised he’d be home soon. That wasn’t the response she expected, and she asked if they were okay. He said they were fine, he just had a lot to sort out and some time with Noah and away from the family would do him some good. She just felt there had been some added tension between them for awhile. She said Jack called her crazy for thinking that way, but she didn’t agree. She felt like she and Nick were in a tricky spot where either the relationship would work out or fall apart. He thought she was being too dramatic. He said he’d had a complicated frustrating couple of weeks which wasn’t her fault. He said he told his dad that no good deed went unpunished. The lesson never seemed to sink in for Nick, he said, but this time had to be different.

Phyllis said that she wanted to agree with Nick when he talked about his family, but every time she did, he took issue with it. He was sorry. He was just going through complex feelings about his family. She knew. He asked if he talked to Jack about that too and if it was awkward for Jack. Phyllis said Jack was a confidante and she trusted him – he wanted Nick and Phyllis to be happy. Nick asked if Jack was the best person to go to. Phyllis said she couldn’t find Nick, and she went to the person who was there, no offense. Noah came in and suggested they go say goodbye to the family, but Nick wanted to just leave. Noah said he got where Nick was coming from. Noah asked Phyllis if she was coming, and she said she had to get back to the hotel.

Phyllis went to the Palazzo living room and talked with Jack. Sally overheard Phyllis ask if she could ride home on the Jabot jet because she’d be traveling solo. Jack asked if this meant things were worse now. Phyllis said she took Jack’s advice and things were good with her and Nick. He was glad to have the company on the flight, since it was going to be a long trip back by himself. He already missed Kyle, Summer and Harrison. She did too.

Victoria, Ashland, Nikki and Victor had breakfast on the patio. Ashland mentioned that it had been harder to say goodbye to Harrison than he expected, but he could tell that his son seemed genuinely happy in Milan. Victoria thanked her parents for the magical wedding. Victor gave Nikki the lion’s share of the credit, and he said he just kept the wolves at bay. Nikki was glad Billy and Gaines were prevented from ruining the wedding. When Victor went to refill his glass, Victoria went with him and asked for the whole story. He didn’t want her to worry about it, but she felt she needed to know how Gaines was handled and if he’d need to be handled again.

Victor would only say he neutralized the threat. Victoria thanked Victor again. He told her she should be grateful to Adam too because he saved this wedding. Adam joined breakfast and thanked the newlyweds for including him. Victor was happy to see Victoria and Adam put their differences aside. Nikki didn’t look impressed. Victoria thanked Adam for saving the wedding. Adam said that families look out for each other. Victor thought there might be hope for Newman family unity. Everyone laughed about how Leslie accidentally caught the bouquet and seemed unhappy about it. Nikki said that if Sally had been there, she would’ve knocked Leslie over to catch it. Noah came and said goodbye, then he pulled Nikki aside and told her that Nick was leaving with him. He said Nick wanted to say goodbye to Nikki. Nikki excused herself. Noah was surprised Adam didn’t wreak havoc, as usual. Adam said sometimes havoc could be overrated, and he liked to keep people on their toes.

Nikki went to Nick’s room. She hated the family rift. He did too. She brought up the way he was trying to leave without a goodbye. He thought it was for the best, to prevent another argument. He just wanted Victoria to have happy memories of the wedding, and he didn’t want to have any more harsh words with his sister. She asked what about his father. He said his issues with Victor were nothing new. He was over the way Victor pitted the kids against each other. Nick wasn’t sure if he and Victoria would ever fix things. Nikki was confident that they would, since they’d been through worse and gotten past it. He said he wasn’t the one she needed to convince.

Sally saw Nick and Noah leaving and wished them a safe flight. Despite knowing Phyllis wasn’t traveling with them, Sally asked if Phyllis was already in the car. Nick replied that Phyllis was traveling separately. Sally said she hoped there wasn’t trouble in paradise. She asked if Phyllis dumped ice water on him too. Adam walked up and wished them safe travels.

Victor wanted to talk with Nick alone. Billy was in the background and saw them together. Nick didn’t have time to talk right now. Victor didn’t want to leave things like this between them. Nick said Victor should’ve never let things get to this point. He and Noah left. Adam asked Sally to give him a private moment with his dad, and she left the room. Victor told Adam they were going to crush ChancComm. Adam hoped Victor considered the potential ramifications. Victor said Billy almost ruined this wonderful wedding, and he went after Ashland, who was now a member of the Newman family. Victor said that anyone who attacked Ashland attacked all the Newmans, and if Adam was a full fledged member of the family, he’d think of a line of attack. Adam said he was no longer opposed to going into battle with Billy. He promised his full support.

Adam went back to his room and flashed to kissing Sally and putting the breaks on because he wasn’t ready. She’d suggested a one night stand. He returned to the present and Sally walked into his room. He assumed she must be on top of the world after her big success. She said she was ready, and this was just the beginning.

Nick went back to Phyllis because he wanted a proper goodbye. He didn’t want her to worry and overthink things. He just needed a couple days. She asked if they could get back to being the happy and carefree couple, and he said yes. He kissed her on the cheek, and they hugged. Nick left, and Phyllis stared out the window. Jack walked in.

Billy went back to his room and told Lily that he overheard Victor and Adam planning an all out war against ChancComm and throwing the full weight of the Newman family against them. He said they had to strike first to protect themselves – the best defense was a massive offense.

Victoria and Ashland were alone on the patio. They agreed that they’d had a glorious time, and now it was time to begin a new chapter with all the challenges that entailed. He was ready to take any treatment that would extend his life, because he needed more time with her. She said that was the most beautiful thing he’d ever said to her. He promised nothing would get in their way – together they were an unstoppable force. “My new wife and I are about to conquer the world,” he said, and they kissed.

Chloe and Kevin were at Society, talking about Sally’s success in Italy when Lauren and Michael rushed in. Lauren declared that Sally was back to her old tricks. She said she tried to tell Chloe that Sally couldn’t be trusted. Chloe asked what Lauren heard. Michael said he’d made the innocent mistake of showing Lauren a photo someone posted from the wedding. Lauren explained that her designer made a beautiful wedding dress for Victoria, but Victoria wore a dress designed by Sally. Lauren was sorry Chloe had to deal with this. Chloe admitted she’d known in advance what Sally was planning to do.

Lauren wanted an explanation. Now. Chloe explained how Sally came to design the dress and to to Italy to get it to Victoria. Chloe said she tried to explain to Sally that it was a bad idea, but there was no stopping her. Chloe said that Victoria must’ve been blown away by the dress and she wore it. Michael thought that was an amusing twist, but Lauren didn’t see the humor. She felt betrayed by Chloe and couldn’t believe she’d condone something so underhanded.

Lauren said Sally had been nothing but trouble ever since she set foot in the town. Michael didn’t think anyone at the table could throw stones. Lauren said some of them had lived to regret that, but Sally didn’t regret anything. Chloe said she didn’t do anything underhanded in the dress situation. Chloe had no idea Victoria would actually wear Sally’s dress, but Chloe wasn’t sorry that Victoria wore the dress. Chloe hoped Lauren would understand that she was trying to run a business. This turn of events had made Newman Media a household name. Lauren said that she and Chloe were family, and Fenmore’s took a hit because of this. Chloe asked Lauren to try and see it from her viewpoint. Chloe said that Fenmore’s was already a hallowed institution and the designer would make many beautiful dresses this year. Chloe said she and Sally needed this moment in the spotlight. Lauren thought Chloe should’ve told her what she and Sally were up to. Chloe admitted that was true. She was sorry. Lauren said Chloe should be. Lauren and Michael left. Sally and Chloe talked on the phone about Sally’s success with the dress. There was something Chloe wanted to say, but Sally said she had to go or she’d miss her ride. The call ended. Chloe told Kevin she just didn’t have the heart to bring Sally down by telling her Lauren was out for blood.

At Crimson Lights, Lauren said Sally wasn’t going to get away with this and not to even get her started on Chloe. Michael thought Lauren was being too hard on Chloe, who didn’t mean to hurt Lauren. Lauren said she’d eventually forgive Chloe, but not Sally. She thought that someone had to put a stop to the stunts.

Recap written by Christine

Victor and Adam were in the palazzo living room wondering what Nick was upset about. Nick insisted on talking to Victor alone. Adam wasn’t usually amenable to being kicked out, but in this case, he’d go. He left. Victor asked what Nick needed to get off his chest. Nick stated that Victor kept him in the dark about Gaines. He added that Victor asked him to look into Ashland’s past. Nick did so and found a bunch of damaging information that nobody seemed to care about. Nick felt like he’d become the bad guy, and Victoria would barely talk to him. “Why are you not on my side on this? Why did you kick me out of the loop and you turned to Adam?,” Nick asked. Nick wondered if Adam was doing Victor’s dirty work. It made him feel like Victor was back to his old tricks, playing his children against each other. Victor laughed and asked if Nick was finished. He was. Victor said he left Nick out of the loop because he came here to try and mend fences with his sister. Victor assumed that Nick wouldn’t be eager to help protect Ashland.

Nick said he didn’t like or trust Ashland and he probably never would, but it didn’t matter because Victoria made her choice. He added that it didn’t matter what they found out about Ashland since no one except Nick seemed to care. Victor was sorry Nick felt that way. He’d thought this would be a happy occasion for the family. Nick sarcastically suggested raising a glass to the lying conniving criminal that they’d added to the family. Victor had assumed he was doing Nick a favor by keeping him out of the loop about this lowlife, Gaines. Victor said they’d dealt with Gaines, and he wasn’t going to be a problem anymore. Nick was concerned about exactly what Victor did to Gaines. Victor would only say that the situation was handled with discretion, so Nick shouldn’t worry about it. Nick noted that Victor made a big speech earlier about putting family first, and he asked if those were just words. “You can’t possibly think that,” Victor replied. Nick asked why Victor’s reaction to Victoria being threatened was to fracture the family instead of uniting it. Victor said Billy brought Gaines here, and Victor took care of the threat. Nick complained that Victor shut him out. He said no good deed went unpunished, but bad deeds were rewarded – everything Ashland did was accepted, and now he was merged into the family. Nick reiterated that he was kept in the dark about Gaines while Victor, Adam and Victoria closed ranks. Nick was trying to figure out how to get Victoria to forgive him. Nick said it was getting awfully hard to figure out what was considered right and wrong in this family. He stormed off.

Phyllis was in her room when Summer texted to ask where she was because they were about to cut the cake. Phyllis was heading to the reception when she ran into Jack, who said he was going to check on Harrison. Phyllis surmised that Jack had decided to duck out of the party early. She knew it was hard to be single at these things. He said it wasn’t that, but she knew it was. He sighed and admitted she was right. He found it annoying that he wasn’t able to lie to her. He said that the back to back weddings and romance and perfect couples got a little annoying. She asked if Sally and Adam were one of the couples annoying him. He said he had no feelings for Sally, except feeling embarrassed for her. He thought the whole wedding dress switch showed Sally couldn’t change. He felt a bit lonely when everyone was going to the dance floor in pairs except him. She said she’d go with him and be his wingman and introduce him to women, but he didn’t want that. He was sick of talking about his lack of a love life, especially with her. He asked where Nick was. She said he went to go talk to his father and get some things off his chest, because it wasn’t a Newman affair without chaos.

Phyllis didn’t want to go to the party anymore, and she invited Jack to her room for a drink and then a jump in the fountain. He was willing to do the drink, but he said he’d hold her shoes while she jumped in the fountain. When they got to her room, he noted that she’d already been drinking the prosecco. She was tired of all the misunderstandings with Nick. He was sorry they were fighting. She said they were just little squabbles because Nick wouldn’t let her help him. She said Nick kept telling her things that were happening with his family then he’d get annoyed when she shared her opinion, which lead to Phyllis getting annoyed that Nick didn’t take her advice. Jack said that only family could complain about family, and if someone else chimed in, the family members would circle the wagons. Phyllis said that was exactly what was happening – Nick criticized Victoria, and when Phyllis agreed with him, he’d tell her not to be critical. Jack thought everyone did that. He asked what she would say if he called Nick awful. She smiled and admitted she’d stand up for Nick. She said she didn’t know how to help Nick, and she guessed this was a tricky part of a relationship.

Jack told Phyllis that sometimes people just wanted to be heard, and they wanted people to listen without offering to fix the problem. Phyllis felt like Nick was refusing to let her in. Jack suggested backing off and giving Nick some space. He reminded Phyllis that she said she and Nick were in a good place and they were happy. Phyllis wondered if she needed problems in a relationship. She said she and Nick were the most carefree, fun and romantic that they’d ever been, Summer was happy, and the hotel was great. Everything should be fabulous, but every time she said something, it seemed to create a flareup. Phyllis wondered if she was the problem. “Maybe I just need issues and drama and conflict to feel like I’m engaged in a relationship. Maybe I’m that person. Maybe I need to fight,” Phyllis said. Jack didn’t think that was the case. He thought that Phyllis was engaging in self-sabotage with this kind of talk, and he wasn’t going to let her do that. He conceded that she was once drawn to drama, but he thought she’d changed and that she could be happy without it.

Elena and Nate went out to the patio from the reception. He twirled and dipped her, and they shared a kiss before Sally cleared her throat, alerting them that they weren’t alone. Elena and Nate were embarrassed, and Elena said she felt like a teen who just got caught making out at a dance. Sally didn’t want to stifle romance, she just didn’t want to be a casualty of their passion. She heard Nate’s speech from out here, and she congratulated him because it was great. Elena congratulated Sally for designing the dress. Nate asked who Sally’s date was. She said it was Adam, though he wasn’t really her date. She explained that he got called away on family business, and she wasn’t really sure what that meant. She thought she may have been stood up. Nate suggested they head back to the party as a trio, and he and Sally could have a dance, if Elena didn’t mind. Elena was fine with it. Sally didn’t want to be a third wheel. She suggested that Elena and Nate go take a moonlit walk in the garden. Sally was going to grab some cake and turn in. They all went their separate ways just as Adam returned looking for Sally.

Adam found Nick brooding on the patio and assumed the talk with Victor went poorly. Nick asked what happened to Gaines. Adam would only say it had been handled, and Nick said Adam sounded like Victor. Adam said he and Victor were just trying to keep the peace. Adam asked if Nick wanted him to try and mediate with Victor or Victoria. Nick wasn’t interested. When Adam offered again, Nick said Adam must feel good about infiltrating the Newman family. Adam said he wasn’t infiltrating – he was mending fences because family was important to him. He thought that was what they all wanted. Nick got up and walked away.

At a private spot on the patio, Noah gave the crying Tessa a handkerchief and said he couldn’t help worrying about her and his sister. She told him not to because it was going to be okay. He thought she and Mariah could work things out, but he hated seeing her so upset. He understood his sister had been through a lot, but it was hard for the people supporting her too. He made a comparison and said when Sharon was sick, it took a toll on her family, including him. Tessa felt guilty for being upset, since Mariah was the one who’d went through the trauma of abduction, childbirth and having to give the baby back to the biological mom. Noah was sure it was hard for Tessa when Mariah asked her to have a baby right away.

Tessa wanted to respect what Mariah wanted. She wasn’t sure Mariah even understood what she was asking of her. Noah was sure that Tessa and Mariah would make the right choice for themselves. Tessa changed the subject and said she wanted to hear about Noah and his love life. He said misfortune befell him, and she teased that they were in a Charles Dickens novel. He said he fell for an artful dodger, then he was saved by a barmaid with a big heart. She assumed that didn’t have a happy ending, since they were in a Dickens novel. She repeated what he’d said to her earlier – that he could tell her everything. Noah fell pretty hard for this woman. She was an artist too, and they’d stay up all night talking. He’d never had those sort of conversations with anyone he dated before, except Tessa. Tessa remembered her all night talks with Noah. Noah’s ex found someone else and left him without a second thought. Tessa was sorry.

Elena and Nate came back to the patio after their walk in the garden. They’d played bocce and it didn’t go well because they were tipsy and didn’t know what they were doing. She thought it was nice to be in a different world. He’d enjoyed not talking about medicine with people. She’d talked to a random couple earlier, and they recommended a gelato place. He thought he’d be able to order in Italian, since a lot of the phrases he learned as a kid were coming back. She’d picked up a few words too, and they went back and forth saying words in Italian. He called her beautiful in Italian, then she said the Italian word for love.

Elena didn’t want this trip to end. He said they’d bring part of Italy home with them, through their memories. He said he’d never forget how she looked in the moonlight. She’d never forget him almost knocking over a statue with a bocce ball. They heard music playing, and they danced.

Adam went to his room and had just closed his eyes when there was a knock on the door. It was Sally. She said she was trying to figure out why he left her to fend for herself in a palazzo of people who didn’t like her. He said he looked and he couldn’t find her, so he assumed she went to bed. She didn’t sound mad when she called him a liar, theorizing that he walked by the place that he left her, saw that she wasn’t there, then called it a night. She made herself at home and poured a drink so they could toast to their success. He was sorry he got pulled away. He toasted to her. She told him about all the social media followers their company got thanks to the dress. He gave her credit for putting Newman Media on the map. He said it was like she willed it to happen. She’d had a lot of plans that didn’t work out, so it was a little surreal that this one did. She admitted her plan to win over the Newman family didn’t work out, but she did get a few compliments on the dress, especially from Nate and Elena. She said the only person she was interested in winning over right now was Adam. She kissed him, and he reciprocated.

Adam and Sally moved to the bed, and things were heating up, when he suddenly put a stop to it. He wasn’t ready for this. Sally said she wasn’t looking for commitment – what happened in Tuscany stayed in Tuscany. She said she wouldn’t even flirt with him once they were in the office. He called her a liar in the same tone she used earlier. He said she didn’t do things halfway, and he didn’t think she’d be satisfied with one night with him. He stroked her hair and said he couldn’t give her what she wanted right now. He said it wasn’t a reflection on her. Next time he got involved with someone, it had to be all or nothing, and he wasn’t emotionally ready for “all,” now. He thought it’d be wrong to pretend he was ready, and spend one night with her, when he could tell she wanted more. She said that only made him seem more thoughtful, decent and sexy. She wasn’t giving up hope that one day he’d be ready for “all,” and she hoped it was with her. He kissed her on the cheek.

Jack was still in Phyllis and Nick’s room, with the door open. He and Phyllis were sitting on the edge of the bed. He was sure she and Nick could work through this. She hoped so. She wrapped her arms around one of his arms and rested her head on his shoulder. He said he was rooting for her and Nick, especially for her. Sally passed by the room, and she saw Phyllis leaning against Jack. Sally pulled out her phone and took a couple pictures of Jack and Phyllis without them noticing.

Lily and Billy were in their room. She finished her makeup and told him that dancing was her favorite thing about weddings. He suggested skipping the reception and having the night to themselves. She asked if he wanted to skip it because he was upset the wedding took place. He said he was just feeling amorous toward her, and he didn’t like the fact that she’d question that. She pointed out that he’d been trying to stop the wedding for weeks, which was why he flew Gaines here. He assured her that he was fine with the way things worked out, and that was why he deleted the video from Gaines. She was proud he took the high road, but she was wondering if his ego was a little bruised and he wanted to avoid the party to sulk. He denied sulking. He said he was celebrating the fact that he was with her and he loved her. If he had to go to the reception, he’d do just that to prove how much he loved her. She decided that they could stay in the room together.

Later, Lily was in bed, and she saw Billy up and staring out the window. She told him he looked like the marble statues from the garden. He said he was having one of those good/bad brainstorms. Apprehensive, she asked what he was thinking. He was thinking of a way to get out of this mess with Victor and Gaines while benefiting ChancComm. He thought they should do a story – “The Life and Times of Jesse Gaines.” Instead of making Ashland the bad guy, they’d make Gaines the bad guy – a loser who contributed nothing to society, who made a career out of blackmailing people. Lily asked why Billy couldn’t just let it go. He said he paid a duffel bag full of cash for the story. She reminded him that he promised Victoria he’d let it go. He clarified that he never said he wouldn’t publish something. He said the Newmans couldn’t get upset if the story was about Gaines. She said they’d get more than upset. He said they’d deal with it. This was the only way he could think of rising from the ashes of this trip.

Lily asked how Billy was going to do a story on Gaines without details on who he was blackmailing and why. He knew it was going to be difficult, but there had to be a way to do it wihtout dragging Ashland through the mud. She felt like he was obsessed, which he denied. She asked why he couldn’t let this go – some secrets were meant to stay buried. He said maybe. She heard their song being played outside, and she asked him to come back to bed. He did.

Later, Billy got dressed and slipped out without waking Lily. He went into the living room and asked what Victor did to Gaines. Victor claimed not to know what Billy was talking about. Billy said Gaines sent him an exclusive video that would’ve blown up Ashland’s secret to the entire world. Billy said he did the right thing and deleted it to protect Victoria. He wanted Victor to tell him how he got rid of Gaines. Victor said that Billy only did the right thing after doing a lot of wrong things. Victor added that Victoria was no longer any of Billy’s business. “The gloves are coming off. You find another career. Another life. I will take everything you own from you,” Victor said.

Recap written by Christine

Almost everyone mingled on the patio after the wedding. Jack told Victoria she’d never looked more lovely. She thanked him and asked if he’d seen her kids. He saw them with the nanny earlier. She mentioned that the kids were a happy trio. He thanked her for including Kyle and Summer. He thought that Harrison seeing all the adults gathered together in a show of love and support was a good thing. She said they were one big happy family. Nikki came over to tell Victoria it was time to put on her reception gown. Jack complimented the wedding dress, and he was caught off guard when Victoria said Sally designed it. After Victoria and Nikki left, Jack joined Phyllis to ask if Nick would be a the reception. Phyllis wasn’t sure since he wasn’t answering her texts. Jack told Phyllis about the wedding dress. Phyllis said that Victoria treated Nick like dirt, but then she wore Sally’s design and hugged her. It made Phyllis sick.

Victoria and Nikki ran into Victor and Adam. They’d noticed Victor’s absence. He said he and Adam were making sure the reception would be as spectacular as the wedding was beautiful. Nikki and Victoria went inside. Ashland came to check in with Victor. Victor said that Nick stopped Gaines from interrupting the wedding. Gaines was locked in the storage room now, and Victor said Ashland could talk to him if he wanted to.

Ashland went to the storage room and told Gaines that his plan didn’t work out like he thought. Gaines said the day was young, and there might be a reversal of fortunes. Ashland said that Gaines made a colossal miscalculation coming here, and how it turned out would depend on Gaines. Ashland asked what Gaines wanted. Gaines said it wasn’t about the money anymore. “I wanted you to experience the same humiliation and degradation that I felt seeing my father embracing you while ignoring his own flesh and blood. Do you have any idea what that’s like?,” Gaines asked. Ashland admitted he did know what that was like. He would’ve given anything to experience his father’s love. He explained that he ran away from home because his father beat him on a regular basis. Ashland didn’t see how it was his fault that Gaines got hurt. Ashland said he had a connection with Camilla, and he met Gaines Sr. by happenstance. He never sought out Senior’s admiration. Ashland said that Camilla turned her back on him in the end – he and Gaines had both been let down, and all they could do was move forward. Gaines asked if Ashland was telling himself that he made his own way. Ashland said he found out what he wanted and he went for it, but it seemed like Gaines wanted to take the easy way out, and even then, Gaines didn’t seem to be able to figure out what he wanted. Ashland asked if Gaines wanted to blackmail him or punish him, or take Victor’s money and run or play Victor against Billy. Gaines asked why he couldn’t have it all. Ashland yelled that life didn’t work that way. Ashland said he and Victor both gave Gaines money, and he could’ve been a wealthy man, but he botched this. Gaines asked what Ashland was going to do – turn him over to the authorities? Make him disappear? Ashland said he and the Newmans didn’t decide yet, but the last thing he wanted was to deal with this on his wedding day. He locked Gaines in the storage closet and left.

Sally and Adam talked alone, and she asked if it was okay. He said he was dealing with family issues. He wanted to talk about what she pulled off. He thought she should be happy and proud of herself. She guessed she was. He said he never should’ve doubted her. She didn’t realize he did. He said there was one thing to have talent, but it was another to have the drive to back it up. It was a combination you didn’t see every day. He thought she may have changed a few of her adversaries minds about her.

Victoria and Nikki were upstairs in the bedroom. Victoria felt like she was walking on a cloud. Nikki wanted to talk about the dress. Victoria said that Sally’s impressive sales pitch was what made her try on the dress. When she tried it on, it felt meant to be. Nikki hoped Victoria didn’t approve of Sally’s deception in switching the dresses, especially after what she did to Summer. Victoria didn’t, but that didn’t mean she was going to get angry about how this worked out. The dress was flawless and exactly what she wanted her wedding gown to be. The best things came out of the most improbable situations, she said.

Victoria told Nikki this was the best day of her entire life. She said she and Ashland were thinking of working from the Palazzo part time. She thanked Nikki for what she and Victor did for her, not just for the Palazzo but for making this wedding as magical as she and Ashland both hoped it’d be. Victoria was able to put some of her anxiety aside because she knew Victor would handle things. Nikki said that Victor would never allow anyone to ruin a moment of her wedding day.

Billy and Lily were in the living room talking about Gaines’ video that outlined Ashland’s crimes. If they didn’t publish it within the hour, Gaines was threatening to do it himself. She reminded him that they already agreed not to run the Gaines story, and he countered that if they didn’t, someone else would, and if they published it, they could control the narrative. She didn’t like Gaines pushing them into a corner. He said either way, the world was about to learn about Ashland’s crimes. Jack walked in and overheard Lily ask what about Victoria. He asked what was going on. Billy covered and told Jack how he found Ashland having trouble breathing earlier. Jack said that was all the more reason to make this day as happy and memorable for Victoria and Ashland as possible. Jack left for the reception. Lily asked if they really wanted to be the ones to bring Locke down and ruin things for Victoria. Billy said that they could control the narrative and protect Victoria. Lily pointed out that Billy said he only wanted Victoria to know the truth. She wondered if he was trying to have this both ways.

Phyllis joined Nick in their bedroom, and he told her about his encounter with Gaines. He wasn’t surprised Ashland had another skeleton in the closet. He was upset because Victor had kicked him out of the loop and brought Adam in. He griped that Adam and Victor knew Gaines was here, and they’d had security looking for him, but no one told Nick. Nick said that was how his father was – one minute you were in the inner circle, and the next you were out. He said the Newmans were so focused on protecting the marriage and more importantly the merger. His parents and siblings had closed ranks about this guy who stole a dead kid’s identity, who probably let his best friend die in a burning car, then went to his job interview. Nick told Phyllis how Ashland built his fortune on his mentor’s stolen estate. He said that when Victor found out Gaines was in Tuscany, he did what he could to silence him and protect Locke. Nick didn’t understand why Ashland had such a tight grip on his family.

Phyllis didn’t think that Nick should be shocked Victor only confided in him when it was convenient for Victor. Nick used to think his relationship with Victor was in a good place. “[I thought] that he appreciated everything I was doing to protect Victoria by getting the truth about Ashland.” Phyllis told Nick that he was nothing like Victor, and that was why he worked so hard to build something separate from the family, but Victoria had all the qualities it took to run Newman. Phyllis said Victoria married a secretive merciless phony, and the family rallied around them anyway. Nick snapped that Ashland was a criminal, and Phyllis said Victor probably saw it as a badge of honor. Nick asked Phyllis not to use his frustrations as an opening to attack his family.

Phyllis was adamant that she wasn’t bashing his family. She said Nick was trying to do right by Victoria, just like Billy. He argued that it wasn’t like Billy, but she contended that ultimately Billy and Nick wanted the same thing. Phyllis said Victoria was a smart savvy businesswoman who should be able to make her own decisions. She said Victoria was no damsel in distress. Nick said he knew that. “Okay why do you have to rescue her? Why? Why do you have to ride in on your horse and rescue Victoria? You and all the Newmans and Billy,” Phyllis yelled.

Nick admitted Phyllis was right. He’d wanted to stop the wedding, but he didn’t because he loved his sister and he knew he didn’t have the right to tell her how to live her life, and neither did his father. He remembered that when he and Phyllis got back together, he hated the way his family treated her. He’d told them that it was his life. Phyllis was concerned that Nick was comparing her life to Ashland’s or that he thought being with her was a mistake. “No! What are you talking about?,” Nick asked. He said he wasn’t making that comparison at all.

Phyllis guessed she misunderstood, and she was sorry. She was glad he saw her point about Victoria. Nick said everyone had a past, and people had to choose whether or not to accept them for it. He said Victoria could live her life as she wanted to. He wasn’t happy that his dad was playing favorites and turned to Adam.

Tessa called Mariah, who she realized was probably asleep due to the time difference. Tessa said the wedding was perfect, and the only thing missing was Mariah. She just wished Mariah was here. After leaving the message, Tessa looked upset. Noah left the reception and came outside to check on her. She pretended she was great. He could tell she was surrounded by tons of people, ubt she felt alone. She asked if it was that obvious. He said he knew her pretty well, and she didn’t have to put up a front with him. She started crying, and she said that Mariah was shutting her out, and Tessa didn’t know what to do.

Noah couldn’t imagine how Mariah’s ordeal affected her. Tessa said for weeks it was Mariah and Bowie against the world. Noah questioned Bowie, and Tessa explained that it was what Mariah called the baby. She explained that Mariah was struggling with having to give the baby up after what they went through together. Noah was sure it had been difficult for Tessa too. Tessa said it was nothing compared to what Mariah went through, but Noah reminded Tessa that she was allowed to have feelings. He said that he was sure that she and Mariah could figure it out with time. She mentioned that Mariah wanted them to have a baby. He asked if Tessa wanted to do that. Tessa wasn’t ready. It seemed wrong to her to have a child for this reason. Noah knew Tessa loved his sister, even though it took him awhile to come to terms with it. He just wanted Tessa and Mariah to be happy. Tessa missed having Noah as a friend. He said he was and always would be her friend.

Ashland asked for a word with Billy in private, but Billy said he and Lily had no secrets. Ashland said Gaines was no longer in a position to expose his past and he’d revealed Billy was the one who brought him here to expose the story about Camilla. Billy said that was true. Ashland said that meant Billy was the only one threat to Ashland’s future, however long that might be. Ashland noted that Billy said he wanted Victoria to have that information before the wedding, and if that was true, he should be satisfied. Ashland asked Billy not to release that information, for the sake of his son and his wife.

Billy said he wasn’t going to release Gaines’ video because it would only alienate Victoria. Ashland didn’t know about the video, so Billy let him see it. Billy deleted the video, and Ashland said thanks. Billy said he didn’t do it for Ashalnd, he did it for the mother of his children. Ashland knew what Billy was sacrificing, career-wise, and he said it was quite a gift to Victoria. Billy said some things were more important than his job. Ashland left. Lily smiled at Billy and said he surprised her. She was proud of him.

Ashland went upstairs and told Victoria that he was married to the most beautiful woman on the planet. He’d checked on the kids and they were fine. She said she’d just checked in on the children as well. He said Katie and Johnny were so accepting of Harrison. Ashland was glad Harrison could see him, her, Summer and Kyle working together as a team. Victoria said “as a family.” He said he handled Gaines, and he talked to Billy. He was pleasantly surprised when Billy said he didn’t want to cause a permanent rift with Victoria. He told her about Billy deleting the video.

Victoria wanted to let all the drama go and revel in being husband and wife. They kissed.

Sally saw Jack walking through and called him. He steeled himself and went over. He said he heard about what Sally pulled. He said instead of showing Victoria the design in Genoa City, Sally put her in the untenable position of choosing her wedding dress on her wedding day. Sally admitted it wasn’t the usual way. He said lucky for her, Victoria liked the dress. Sally clarified that luck had nothing to do with it – she worked her tail off to create the perfect dress, and everyone thought Victoria looked spectacular. She asked if it’d kill him to say good job. He wasn’t sure why he cared what she thought. She agreed that it shouldn’t matter, and he was leaving as Adam arrived. Sally said she and Adam should go have some fun. She asked to dance all night long to celebrate, and he said she earned it.

Sally took Adam’s arm and they were about to go to the reception when Victor came out and pulled Adam aside. Victor said that Ashland and Gaines talked, and while Gaines seemed receptive, Victor was convinced he’d remain a problem. His gift to his son in law was going to be to prevent that from happening. Adam reiterated that he was willing to help make this day what Victoria wanted it to be. Victor appreciated that. Adam said that family protected each other. Nick walked up and he had something to say.

Ashland and Victoria walked to the doorway of the place where the reception was being held. Several camera shutters went off and people applauded.

Update written by Joseph

Xander and Justin are in a holding cell together. Xander does pushups while Justin complains that he’s in Hell. Xander notes that he hasn’t forgotten that Justin tried to help he and Gwen. Justin reminds Xander that he told him it was stupid idea and that they could all end up in jail but he caved and tried to extort a judge so he has no one to blame but himself. Xander still thinks he owes him and says he will take him under his wing which Justin laughs at. Xander explains that he will show him what he needs to survive prison life. Xander’s first lesson is that when someone who could snap you in two tells you to do something, just do it.

Bonnie and Gwen are in a holding cell together. Bonnie screams at the guards while Gwen tells her to keep it down. Bonnie informs Gwen that they are going to set rules. Bonnie suggests Gwen shut up unless she has something important to say. Gwen responds by saying “bite me”. Bonnie realizes Gwen is Jack’s daughter and was there when Xander and Sarah were going to get married. Bonnie asks what Gwen is in for.

Steve goes to see Jack at the Horton house. Jack tells him that he’s worried about Julie not sleeping or eating. Steve encourages that Kayla will get her calmed down. Jack understands she has every right to be angry but he doesn’t understand why Julie is not being allowed to see Doug since that’s only making things worse. Kayla comes in and agrees, noting that she put a call in to Bayview and Doug is sedated and the visits would be supervised, so it doesn’t make sense to her either. Steve asks about Julie. Kayla says she’s emotionally a wreck but physically she’s okay and she gave her something to help her sleep. Jack asks about Doug at the hospital. Kayla mentions him attacking Julie. Jack argues against putting Doug in Bayview. Kayla is sure that Marlena did what she thought was best. Jack is not sure about that.

Johnny talks to Marlena and brings up the movie being about her, so he came to ask for her permission but actually talking to John, he’s having second thoughts. Johnny adds that he had everything lined up but now he’s thinking it’s a bad idea and he should scrap the whole thing. Marlena disagrees and claims she thinks it’s a wonderful idea, so she wants him to make the movie which surprises both Johnny and John. John doesn’t think Marlena understands as the film is about her and when she was possessed. Marlena declares that’s why she wants to give Johnny her blessing. Johnny asks if she’s sure about this. Marlena advises him to take it and run with it when someone gives him exactly what he wants. Johnny thanks her. John wants Marlena to think about this since they had a long talk about this. John adds that if Marlena says no, Johnny will understand. Marlena repeats that she said yes and that Johnny has everything set so he should be getting busy. Marlena tells Johnny to promise them front row seats to the premiere. Johnny hugs Marlena.

Jack tells Kayla that Marlena is a good doctor but it seems to him that having to commit Doug is really extreme. Kayla is sure it was the hardest phone call Marlena ever had to make. Steve brings up Jack saying that Julie isn’t sleeping or eating, so he asks about Jack since he looks like crap. Kayla agrees. Steve asks how Gwen is doing. Jack responds that he doesn’t know since they won’t let him see her. Jack calls it a mess and says the judge plans to throw the book at Gwen. Kayla points out that he plans to throw the book at Justin too.

Justin tells Xander that he doesn’t want to be his workout buddy. Xander encourages that in prison, he will want everyone to know that they are tight. Justin questions this really happening to him. Xander says it’s all his fault so he’s going to look out for Justin whether he wants him to or not. Xander asks what the sentence is for extorting a judge. Justin says it’s a minimum of five years. Xander points out that’s a lot of showers.

Victor is in the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion, on the phone with Brady. Victor says it’s lovely news that Maggie is back, Chloe has been kicked to the curb, Bonnie is on her way back to prison, and Kristen is in exile. Victor declares that life can be sweet. Melinda Trask then arrives and questions Victor needing to see her, noting his good mood. Victor thinks Melinda is about to put him in an even better one. Melinda wants to know what he wants. Victor thought they could have a little chat. Melinda guesses it’s about Xander and Justin which Victor confirms. Melinda states that Xander is a drug dealer and has a record so the case against him is a slam dunk while Justin is on tape trying to extort a judge, so he’s going to prison and will be disbarred. Victor points out that he hasn’t been convicted yet. Melinda assures that he will be as the evidence is clear in both cases, so she has no choice but to prosecute his nephews to the full extent of the law. Melinda tells Victor they have nothing to talk about so Victor questions why she came.

Justin doesn’t know what makes him angrier, his own stupidity or the fact that Melinda is enjoying this so much. Justin complains that they made her job really easy. Xander feels bad since Justin didn’t want to do it but he kept pushing his buttons. Justin assures that he knew the risk he was taking. Xander understands he did it for Bonnie while Justin points out that Xander did what he did for Gwen. Xander remarks that life was a lot simpler when he only cared about himself. Justin says it’s the things they do for love. Xander worries about Gwen as he knows he can handle all of this but she’s not as tough as she seems. Justin remarks that being a sex worker is not for the faint of heart. Xander informs him that Gwen was not a sex worker so Justin asks what Dr. Snyder was holding over her.

Bonnie questions Gwen telling her that she tried to solicit a judge. Gwen explains that she wasn’t going to sleep with him but wanted to get it on tape so he’d drop the charges against Xander. Bonnie questions her doing all that for Xander. Gwen says Xander has done a lot for her too. Bonnie asks what he’s done but Gwen says she’s not going to get in to that now as she doesn’t even know her. Bonnie argues that Justin and Xander are cousins so they are practically related. Gwen disagrees but Bonnie points out that they will be as soon as she and Justin get married like they were supposed to. Bonnie adds that Xander is no fun at a party and brings up what he did to Nicole but stops to ask why Gwen is looking at her like that.

Johnny tells Marlena how much this means to him and thanks her. Marlena says she’s excited about it herself. Johnny hands her the script and tells her to let him know if anything in it bothers her. Marlena says it’s his project so he doesn’t have to worry about her. Johnny calls her the best as he exits. Marlena comments on John looking grim. John is trying to find a way to say something that comes off loving and respectful but all he can think of is asking what the hell has gotten in to her. Marlena claims not to know what he means. John says ever since this thing with Doug, she’s been exhausted, like the weight of the world is on her shoulders. Marlena asks what his point is. John says that she has no entrusted the most personal and painful part of her life to a kid who wants to make a movie about it on his phone, with a cast of amateurs. Marlena feels he’s just being negative about this. John argues that Johnny can make a movie about something else like a talking dog. Marlena jokes that if John keeps insisting on talking dogs, she may have to commit him to Bayview. John questions that being a joke. Marlena tells John that she meant it when she told Johnny that he could make the film. Marlena adds that this is not for Johnny, so John asks who it is for. Marlena then flashes back to the Devil’s warnings.

Melinda reminds Victor that he asked her to come and if he’s about to offer her a bribe, she reminds him that his nephew is in jail for trying to corrupt the judicial process. Victor says he’s not going to corrupt anything, he’s just trying to close a deal here. Melinda responds that she doesn’t need a deal as she has four defendants dead to rights. Victor clarifies that he only cares about Xander and Justin, not Bonnie or Gwen. Victor then remarks that hanging is too good for Bonnie.

Gwen explains to Bonnie that she and Xander had help with the judge and reveals that Xander got Justin to help, so now Justin’s been arrested too. Gwen tells Bonnie that she’s sorry.

Kayla tells Jack that after everything Xander and Gwen have done, she can’t believe Justin would break the law for them. Steve clarifies that Justin didn’t break the law for them but for Bonnie. Jack thought Justin would’ve rethought that relationship but apparently he’s still in love with Bonnie. Steve says Justin didn’t just go after the judge for Xander, but he was also showing bias against Bonnie, so Justin risked it all for the woman he loves and there’s nothing out of character about that.

Justin asks Xander again what Dr. Snyder was using to blackmail Gwen or if that was all a lie or if it was just the money. Xander confirms that he was blackmailing her so Justin asks what Snyder had. Justin brings up Gwen lying her way into a job as a nanny to Abigail’s children, then tried to blow up Jack’s marriage and slept with her half sister’s husband. Xander argues that she did all of that because of what was done to her. Xander states that after all these years, Gwen finally has a father who loves her and he’s not doing or saying anything to screw that up. Justin goes over Gwen telling Jack that she was a sex worker, so that means that wasn’t as bad as what Snyder was using to blackmail her. Justin questions what the hell Gwen did. Xander mentions that he can’t tell him because he promised Gwen that he wouldn’t. Justin realizes that Xander does know and why she would do anything to keep Jack from finding out.

Bonnie starts to cry after Gwen told her that Justin has been arrested. Gwen apologizes as she thought Bonnie knew. Bonnie cries that Justin’s family and friends were all right to tell him to stay away from her and that she’d ruin his life. Gwen points out that Justin must really love her to do something like that. Bonnie responds that Justin really loved his wife and she made her life hell and now she’s doing the same to him. Gwen suggests they could let him off easy since he’s never done anything wrong before. Bonnie says it’s just the fact that Justin did something wrong and illegal when being a lawyer is everything to him. Bonnie cries that everyone’s going to know what Justin did for her. Bonnie declares that Justin may be able to forgive her, but she doesn’t think she can.

Xander tells Justin to just drop this. Justin thinks Jack has the right to know that Gwen lied to him again. Xander insists that Gwen is not trying to pull one over on him. Xander adds that Jack is his only friend so he is thinking of him. Xander assures that Jack doesn’t want to know as no good will come of it for anyone. Xander asks Justin to forget this conversation ever took place and as far as anyone is concerned, Gwen was a sex worker, end of story.

Victor tells Melinda that Xander and Justin have been corrupted by Gwen and Bonnie. Melinda questions him wanting them both to walk and asks what’s in it for her. Victor knew they could do business and that she’s not in it for money. Melinda responds that she hates losing. Victor jokes that they are like soulmates. Melinda warns that she could put Justin and Xander away for years but if she lets them go, she gives up two high profile cases, so she needs something big to make that worth her while. Victor likes the way this is going. Melinda guesses he knows who she’s talking about. Victor assures that he’s way ahead of her.

Marlena claims to John that she’s doing the movie for herself. John asks how that could possibly be true. Marlena tells him that for the last 25 years, people have waited until she’s almost out of the room to start whispering and joking about what happened to her because they want her to hear it. John never felt that but says he’s sorry because that must have been awful. Marlena responds that what is awful is when the people who love her act like it never actually happened. John disagrees and says they just don’t talk about it because they don’t want to upset her. Marlena argues that she doesn’t like to be handled or that one of the most devastating parts of her life is treating like a dirty little secret as that’s upsetting to her. Marlena doesn’t want to hide and says she wants to put a light on it to let people know that she’s not ashamed of it. John strongly disagrees and thinks making this movie will only make everything worse. Marlena says she is the one who was possessed while John argues that she still would be if not for him.

Bonnie apologizes as she doesn’t usually lose it like that. Gwen blames herself for giving her gutting news. Bonnie says Gwen has enough troubles to deal with without listening to her’s. Gwen points out that they do have something in common. Bonnie remarks that Gwen doesn’t want anything in common with her. Gwen points out that Justin’s in a cell because of Bonnie while Xander is because of her. Bonnie feels that’s where the similarity ends because Xander got himself put in jail many times. Bonnie asks if Gwen’s got it bad. Gwen says no but then says she doesn’t know. Gwen says whatever Xander did in the past, he’s here because of what he did for her and that’s not something she is used to.

Justin asks if Gwen’s little secret has anything to do with their case. Xander swears it doesn’t so Justin agrees not to say anything to Jack. Xander thanks him. Justin says he’s only doing it for Jack because he has enough to worry about. Xander clarifies that he thanked him for believing him since no one ever does. Justin accepts that he will need Xander’s help when they go to Statesville prison. Xander notes that it sounds like he thinks it’s a given that they will get convicted and asks if he doesn’t think they have a chance. Justin says with Melinda Trask prosecuting and Judge Smails testifying, they are sunk.

Jack tells Steve and Kayla that it doesn’t help Gwen’s case that her lawyer was arrested trying to extort the judge. Steve calls it a hell of a mess. Jack notes that he tried to get Belle to take the case but she and Shawn are off visiting Claire. Steve assures that Justin will find someone to replace him. Jack argues that Justin needs a lawyer of his own now. Steve then gets a text from Victor, wanting to see him. Kayla asks why. Steve guesses he’ll go find out. Steve invites Kayla to go with him but Kayla decides to stay and keep an eye on Julie. Steve tells Jack that Gwen is lucky to have him and he’ll see him at dinner tonight. Jack decides to exit with Steve as he’s going to try one more time to get in to see Gwen. Kayla wishes Jack luck as he exits. Kayla then gets a call and questions what Marlena did.

John tells Marlena that it didn’t happen to him, but he had to watch it happen to her and he has no desire to relive that. John says he maybe being over protective but he almost lost her to Him. John remembers how close it came to happening and ever since Johnny’s been trying to make this movie, Marlena’s been on edge and having nightmares. John refuses to stand by and wait to see what happens if Johnny actually makes the movie. Marlena states that John seems to have some unresolved issues about that period of time. Marlena would like to help him with that and suggests reading Johnny’s script might help, but there’s nothing she can do to help him through this. Marlena decides she’s going to their bedroom to read the script. Marlena stops and tells John that The Devil was in her, not in him, so it really is her decision and he can move heaven and earth but nothing will change her mind. Marlena then heads to the bedroom.

Bonnie apologizes to Gwen for trashing another woman’s man. Gwen claims Xander is not her man but Bonnie doesn’t believe her. Melinda arrives and remarks that it’s nice to see them getting along since it helps to have a friend inside prison. Melinda then exits. Bonnie says that woman gets on her nerves.

Victor is on the phone, saying he’s paying them to make sure his nephew is taken care of in Statesville. Steve walks in and guesses he’s trying to get Justin and Xander an upgrade. Steve asks what this is about. Victor responds that he has something that needs to be done and he wants to hire Steve to do it.

Kayla goes to see John and says she’s hoping to talk to Marlena about Doug. Kayla asks if she’s there. John says she’s in the bedroom, reading. John asks if Doug is okay. Kayla responds that he’s heavily sedated and is still not allowed visitors which is confusing. Kayla states that Julie wants to see Doug and she doesn’t have a problem with it. John asks if Bayview doesn’t agree. Kayla reveals that Bayview doesn’t have a problem with it either but Marlena extended the no visitor order.

Marlena sits in her room with the script when she suddenly hears the voice of the Devil, saying it looks like they are going to be making a movie together.

Bonnie exclaims to Gwen that Justin is a great lawyer, so he will go the whole nine yards for them. Bonnie yells that Melinda can do her worst but Justin is coming after her so she is going down. Gwen complains that she doesn’t know how much more of this she can take.

Xander helps Justin do sit-ups in their cell. Justin quits after three. Melinda then arrives and tells them not to look so glum, since if Victor comes through, they might just be off the hook. Melinda then walks back out, leaving Justin and Xander confused.

Victor asks why Steve looks so surprised since he’s worked for him before. Steve calls that a long time ago and says he’s sure Victor can hire someone else to do his dirty work for him. Victor wants to hire Black Patch, promising to make it worth his while. Victor asks him to at least hear him out before saying no, so Steve agrees. Victor wants to find a missing person; Kristen DiMera.

John guesses Marlena is worried about Julie’s safety since she was there when Doug attacked her. Kayla says maybe but she doesn’t know if it’s what’s best for Doug. Kayla wants to talk to Marlena but John asks her to check in later since now is not a good time. Kayla asks if something is wrong. John admits he’s worried about Marlena as he’s not so sure she’s making good decisions since she’s made some calls lately that he doesn’t understand either. John states that she’s just not herself.

Marlena tells the Devil that this is not what she wants. The Devil reminds Marlena that everything they did is in the script as the wind blows the pages. The Devil says that Marlena agreed to do it because she’s finally embracing their story and ready to celebrate all they share. The Devil says Marlena is so close now and urges her to let him in so they will be one. Marlena flashes back to her original possession as the lights in the room begin to flash. The Devil enters Marlena again and declares that finally they are one and laughs maniacally.

Brady: Take it easy. I can explain, philip.

Philip: I don’t want to hear a damn thing you have to say.

Johnny: Hey, allie.

Allie: Hi. Look, if you’re here to see chanel, she’s working. So please don’t bother her.

Johnny: I’m here to see you.

Allie: What’s that?

Johnny: That is a contract. Once you sign that, it’s gonna be official. Allie horton is sami brady in “possessed: The marlena evans story.”

Devil voice: Excellent. You’re finally starting to let go. You’re almost there, marlena. We have already achieved so much together. If you let me back in, there will be no limit to what we can accomplish. But we cannot delay. Our time is now. I need you to be mine, tonight.

Marlena: [Gasps]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Allie: I thought grandpa roman pulled his financing.

Johnny: He did.

Allie: Okay, so then how is this movie still being made? I mean, I thought you couldn’t make it without his investment.

Johnny: Yeah, that’s what I thought. But I got the money somewhere else.

Allie: Where?

Johnny: My father.

Nicole: Hi, ej. No, you were not interrupting anything. I just bumped into rafe, and he offered to share a doughnut from allie’s bakery.

[Both chuckle]

Ej: That’s strange.

Rafe: What’s strange? The doughnuts are amazing.

Ej: I’m sure they are. But I thought you and nicole were trying to stay away from each other.

[Mysterious music]

Ben: What are you wondering, my love?

Ciara: I’m wondering if we just made a baby.

[Windows slam]

[Wind howling]

[Sighs] Ben? Are you okay?

John: Hey.

Marlena: Oh, hi. What time is it?

John: I let you sleep in a little.

Marlena: Yeah, and you’ve brought me breakfast, I see.

John: And tea. Hot this time. How are you feeling, honey?

Marlena: Um, I’m not sure. I had an upsetting dream.

John: Another one?

Marlena: Yeah, another one.

John: Any idea what this one was about?

Marlena: Yeah, unfortunately.

John: Oh. Want to tell me about it?

Marlena: I was… levitating.

John: Levitating.

Marlena: Levitating. Right here. Right here. Right off the bed.

[Sighs] It seemed so real.

Limu emu & doug

Chloe: Oh my god, brady. Are you all right?

Brady: Yeah, I’m fine.

Chloe: What the hell is wrong with you? Have you lost your mind?

Philip: You were in his arms. Again! You keep saying over and over that you guys are just working together.

Chloe: We are.

Philip: You keep saying that. You keep insisting that he’s not coming after you.

Chloe: Because he’s not.

Philip: Then what did I just walk in on?

Chloe: Brady trying to be a friend.

Philip: I think he wants a little more than friendship. I think he wants to take you away from me. And somehow I’m the bad guy. He’s lucky one punch is all he got.

Ben: Sorry. I was just putting the candles away and got reminded of that weird thing that happened last night.

Ciara: Hmm. Yes, that was pretty weird. But we agreed that it was just a random gust of wind, right?

Ben: We did. Yeah.

Ciara: Okay, so you’re not reading anything into it? Right?

Ben: No.

Ciara: Good. Because I think we had an amazing night last night.

Ben: We did.

Ciara: So you’re not second-guessing us trying to have a baby?

Ben: Oh, no.

Ciara: Good. I’m very glad to hear that. Well, I should probably get going.

Ben: Wait, wait. You got someplace special to be or…

Ciara: Actually, I do. As much as I loved our wedding and our honeymoon and lounging around in bed with you trying to have a baby, I think it’s about time for me to get a job.

Rafe: What’s the point, ej? Nicole didn’t do anything wrong.

Ej: I never suggested she did. I’m being supportive. I know how committed she is to doing the right thing. And that ava’s her friend. I know that she doesn’t want to make any trouble.

Rafe: Well, there’s not gonna be any trouble unless you cause it.

Nicole: Okay, guys, we don’t need to talk about this.

Rafe: I’d actually like to hear what he has to say.

Ej: You sure? Because the way I see it, nicole is trying to move on and you won’t let her. I wonder how your girlfriend would feel about what I just saw.

Allie: Your dad has been against the idea of this movie since the beginning.

Johnny: Yep.

Allie: So what? He just decided to accept it and wants to invest?

Johnny: Pretty much. Yeah.

Allie: All right, this doesn’t sound like ej. He doesn’t do anything unless there’s something in it for him.

Johnny: Yeah. Who says there isn’t? He did have one demand in order to give me the money.

Allie: Which was?

Johnny: He wants a role in the movie.

Allie: Really? What role?

Johnny: He wants to play grandpa john.

John: Remember anything else about the dream?

Marlena: Yes. While… while I was… levitating, there was somebody talking to me.

John: Okay. Who was it?

Marlena: I didn’t see him, but I could hear him so clearly. I could–I could hear him as clearly as I hear you right now.

John: Okay. Recognize the voice?

Marlena: Well, I…

[Inhales deeply] I hadn’t heard it for so many years. But I do know exactly who it is.

John: Who?

Marlena: It… it… it’s satan. It’s the devil. This is the sound of an asthma attack…

Allie: Your father is a lawyer and the ceo of a major corporation.

Johnny: Co-ceo, but yes, point taken.

Allie: Why would he want to play john black in your movie?

Johnny: Because abigail is playing grandma marlena.

Allie: Okay.

Johnny: He’s doing it to piss off uncle chad because chad wouldn’t back him up when he was trying to convince me to work at dimera.

Allie: Right. And you’re cool with this?

Johnny: He’s not my first choice, no. But the important thing is, I get to make my movie. So I need you to sign.

Allie: I can’T.

Johnny: Is there a problem?

Allie: Yes, there is a problem. The problem is that grandpa john is not on board with this project at all. And neither is grandpa roman. I mean, they asked you to cut the possession part of the story, and instead you made it the entire movie.

Johnny: Allie, this is an important story that needs to be told. I’m not exploiting grandma and grandpa. If anything, it honors her strength and the strength of their love story.

Allie: Okay, I’ll tell you what. I will act in your movie if you get direct permission from grandma marlena.

Johnny: [Chuckles] So you’ll do it if she says yes?

Allie: I will. And if she’s not okay with it, then neither am I.

Johnny: Oh, don’t worry. She will be.

John: Hey, here’s the deal. Try not to think about it. It’s just a damn dream. What you need to focus on is taking care of yourself. And of course, your patients. Doug and julie, they’re gonna need you to be at the top of your game, and I know how concerned you were about ben last night.

Marlena: Oh, yes, I was concerned about ben.

Devil voice: Ben and ciara’s child is so important for the future. I want that baby. I need that baby for myself.

John: Doc, what’s going on? What’s wrong?

Marlena: I need to get out.

John: Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Now? Are you sure?

Marlena: Yeah. Yeah. I need to get to ben right now. I’m gonna shower and then go see ben.

Ben: So last time you mentioned this, you were thinking about going back to get your job at titan. Is that what you’re still thinking?

Ciara: That is exactly what I’m thinking. I’m gonna go see my grandfather today.

Ben: Good luck with that.

Ciara: Well, grandpa victor is not leaving that room until he gives me the answer that I want.

Ben: Ooh, he’s not gonna know what hit him.

Ciara: [Laughs] Mm.

[Giggles] Okay. I have to go. I do, but save that thought for later. And maybe we can have another go at trying to have a baby. Okay?

[Laughs]

Brady: You know, you sound like a crazed idiot.

Philip: Right. Because you’re perfectly innocent. Just a nice supportive friend with no ulterior motives at all.

Brady: I’m not even gonna bother trying to explain myself to you.

Philip: I don’t need you to explain yourself. I know what you’re up to.

Brady: I was trying to set the record straight.

Chloe: I told you there’s no point.

Brady: Clearly. Maybe all that’s left to do is to hit you twice as hard as you hit me, huh.

Philip: Go ahead. Go ahead. I’m standing right here.

Brady: Philip– no, I’m gonna take the high road on this one. Listen, get your ass out of my office, or I’m gonna have security throw you out, all right?

Rafe: Is it fun being a troll, ej?

Ej: I’m just asking questions.

Rafe: You’re inserting yourself into something that’s none of your business. And you’re trying to make everyone uncomfortable while you’re doing it.

Ej: The only person making nicole uncomfortable is you.

Rafe: How dare you judge me? After the way that you have treated every single woman you’ve ever gone out with, including nicole… well, it’s no wonder things didn’t work out with you and sami.

Ej: [Chuckles] Remind me how I’m the bad guy here. I gave you and your live-in girlfriend a $300 bottle of wine to smooth things over.

Rafe: Never asked for it.

Ej: Which makes it an even bigger gesture. A thank you would have been nice.

Rafe: For what?

Ej: I got nicole out of a very tense situation at julie’s place the other night. Not to mention saving your ass.

Rafe: Oh, everything was just fine.

Ej: Everything was not fine. And now here you are mooning over her in a public place.

Nicole: Okay, he wasn’t mooning.

Ej: Wake up, nicole. He is playing silly games with both you and ava.

Rafe: That’s enough. You know what you can do with your $300 bottle of wine?

Ej: Tell me. Your mission:

Nicole: Stop it. Stop it, both of you.

Rafe: You know he deserves it.

Ej: Deserves what? Oh, you want to hit me, commissioner?

Rafe: You have no idea how much.

Ej: Go ahead. I think I see someone over there with their phone filming. How great will it be when a video of the commissioner assaulting a citizen goes viral?

Nicole: Ej, stop it now.

Rafe: It might just be worth it.

Nicole: Stop. Rafe, just–just go.

Ej: Mm-hmm.

Rafe: Hm.

Ej: Well, that was fun. Lucky I came along when I did.

Nicole: I really wish you hadn’T.

Philip: Now, chloe, please. Let’s go somewhere where we can talk alone.

Chloe: You should leave.

Brady: You really should. My security team, they play pretty rough.

Philip: All right, I’m gonna go. I’m gonna go home. We’ll talk about this later.

Chloe: I’m so sorry. Are you sure that you’re all right?

Brady: Yeah, yeah, chloe, I’m fine, I’m fine. I’m just–you know, what I’m upset about is the way he’s treating you.

Chloe: Yeah. Well, like I was saying before he came charging in here, I think you may have been right about him all along.

Brady: I wish I wasn’T.

Chloe: I don’t think he knows how to change. I think it’s up to me to fix this.

John: Hey, johnny. Come on in, kid.

Johnny: Can I talk to grandma?

John: Well, kid, I’m afraid you just missed her. Maybe I can help. What’s it about?

Johnny: It’s about the movie. I got the money I needed from my dad.

John: Ej? Gotta be kidding me. I thought he was against that project from the beginning.

Johnny: He changed his mind. He decided to support my vision as a writer/director.

John: I see; so what, he signed on as a producer?

Johnny: And an actor as well, yeah.

John: What? What role is he playing?

Johnny: You.

John: You can’t be serious.

Johnny: Anyway, I’ve got the casting all set. The financing is secured. I just have one more thing I need to take care of.

John: Mm-hmm, and what would that be?

Johnny: Allie won’t sign on to play my mom without grandma’s permission.

John: Well, kiddo, I’m afraid you’re out of luck. ‘Cause there’s no way in hell she’s ever gonna give you that.

Ciara: Well, hello, hello.

Allie: Hi.

Ciara: What do you recommend for buttering up my stubborn old grandpa?

Allie: Hmm. Well, that would be a job for a buttery almond tart with chocolate drizzle.

Ciara: Oh, good idea.

Allie: So what do you need from victor?

Ciara: Well, I actually want my old job back at titan. Hopefully that’ll put me and ben in a good financial situation for when we have our baby.

Allie: A baby? Wait, is that actually happening?

Ciara: Yeah, we hope so.

Allie: Wait, so what happened to ben’s doubts? I mean, last time we talked, you were afraid he might never want kids.

Ciara: Yeah, well, he was afraid of passing on his mental illness to our kids, but he actually talked to your grandma, and she helped him work through all of his issues.

Allie: Wow, grandma marlena to the rescue.

Ciara: Yeah. I owe her big time. He feels a lot better about the situation after the session. And we went right down to it.

Allie: By right down to it, you mean…

Ciara: I mean I threw away my birth control pills and we got right down to it.

Allie: I love that for you.

Ciara: Thank you.

Allie: Wow, so all it took was one session with my grandma. I wonder what she said to him.

Ben: Dr. Evans, hi.

Marlena: Hi. I’m sorry to come by unannounced. I just know that you were a little conflicted after our last session, and I just wanted to make sure that you were all right.

Ben: Thank you. Yeah, I really appreciate that. And for coming by. Please come in.

Marlena: Oh, thank you.

Ben: Sure.

Marlena: Oh, cute.

Ben: It’s not much, but it’s home.

Marlena: Yeah. Well, how are you?

Ben: I took your advice. Ciara and I made the decision together that we are ready to have a child. She even threw away her birth control pills last night.

Marlena: Oh. Well, that’s a very big step.

Ben: Yeah. It is a big step. And we took it, thanks to you. You know something? Even after we were together, we both had this, like, strange feeling that we made a baby.

Marlena: Wow, that’s wonderful.

Ben: Yeah, yeah. I was feeling really hopeful. Until…

Marlena: Until what?

Ben: This really strange thing happened. The wind blew, and it knocked open the windows and it blew out all the candles.

Marlena: Why was that strange?

Ben: Well, first of all, the night was completely calm weather-wise, and second of all, when the wind entered the room, it put this, like, cold shiver through my entire body.

Marlena: A cold shiver.

Ben: Yeah. Yeah. I know it sounds kind of silly. I was just afraid that maybe it could have been, like, an omen.

Marlena: Hmm. Maybe it was.

Ben: What do you mean?

Marlena: I will not allow you to use ben.

Devil voice: What are you doing?

Marlena: What I have to do. I’m going to warn him.

Devil voice: You will do no such thing.

Ben: Dr. Evans? Do you actually think that the wind could have been, like, a sign that ciara and I shouldn’t have a baby? Counting your veggies can be hard.

Ben: I know it doesn’t make sense, but should I be worried about that strange feeling I got when the wind blew through here?

[Cell phone chimes] Oh, do you need to take that?

Marlena: No, no, no. I came to talk to you.

Ben: Okay.

[Cell phone chimes] I mean, it could be a patient that needs you. It’s okay. Please.

Devil voice: Don’t even think about telling him, marlena. My plans for ben’s child are for you and me alone.

Ben: What is it, dr. Evans?

Ciara: Whatever your grandma said, it must have been very persuasive because he left thinking that he did not want to have children, and he came back and was very open to the idea.

Allie: So he’s not worried at all anymore?

Ciara: No, he still has his doubts. But he said that whatever happens happens, and we will get through it together.

Allie: Oh, you and ben are gonna be such great parents.

Ciara: I think so. I really do. I just hope that I’m not, like, pressuring him into doing something that he doesn’t want to do, you know?

Allie: Yeah, but, you know– I mean, if he’s still unsure, I can guarantee you that when you actually have the baby in your life, all of that’s gonna go away. I mean, he’s going to fall in love with that child, just like I did with my little henry.

Ciara: I hope so. Well, I better get these to my grandfather so that ben and I have a way to support this hypothetical baby of ours.

Allie: Well, good luck with everything.

Ciara: Thank you.

Allie: Bye.

Ciara: Bye.

Chloe: Oh, man, I can’t believe how many times we’ve been through this. Philip goes too far and he explodes with jealousy. And then he apologizes and promises he’ll never do it again. And I give him another chance.

Brady: And then he blows it again.

Chloe: Wash, rinse and repeat.

Brady: You do understand it’s not getting better. It’s getting worse, chloe. You can see that he’s starting to lose more control, right?

Chloe: I see it. Yeah.

Brady: What are you gonna do?

Chloe: [Sighs] I don’t–I don’t know. But all I know is, I need to do something now before somebody gets really hurt.

Nicole: Rafe was right. You were acting like a troll. And a jerk.

Ej: I thought I was doing a good thing. You told me you wanted to get over rafe. I mean, what if I hadn’t come along? What would have happened?

Nicole: I don’t know.

Ej: I do. Is that really what you want, nicole? To be making out with ava’s boyfriend in a public place?

Nicole: Of course not.

Ej: Exactly. I wasn’t just saving you from rafe, but from yourself. On the outside, I looked fine.

Nicole: I don’t need to be saved from rafe or myself. But you did stop me from doing something that I might have regretted.

Ej: Good.

Nicole: But you at least have to admit you could have handled that differently.

Ej: [Clears throat] Granted. The man does get under my skin.

Nicole: And you love getting under his.

Ej: A fella’s got to have hobbies. I’m sorry. But I am on your side, nicole.

Nicole: I know.

Ej: And I was right about what I saw, wasn’t I? You were about to kiss rafe.

Nicole: Yes.

Allie: Rafe.

Rafe: Allie. Hi there.

Allie: Hi. Is everything okay? Is something wrong with the doughnuts?

Rafe: No, no. No, the doughnuts were delicious. I still haven’t actually brought them into work yet. I had a little run-in with your stepfather.

Allie: Oh?

Rafe: You know, I almost forgot what a piece of work ej is.

Allie: We are in agreement on that one. What did he do?

Rafe: You know, it’s not even worth talking about. You know, we never really got along.

Allie: Because of mom.

Rafe: Mostly, yeah, but… have you spoken with her?

Allie: No, she’s been pretty incommunicado recently. I don’t know; johnny’s been trying to get in touch with her too, but…

Rafe: Oh, yeah? You think everything’s okay?

Allie: Who knows? I mean, it’s probably better she isn’t around anyway. I’m not sure how she would feel about me playing her in johnny’s movie.

John: Look, kid, I know how talented you are. And I really think that you’ve got a great career ahead of you here, but this is not the movie that you want to make.

Johnny: Why can’t you just try reading the script?

John: I lived it. I don’t need to read it. And I definitely don’t want your grandmother to have to read it.

Johnny: Why not?

John: Because it’d just upset her. It already has.

Johnny: What do you mean?

John: We talked about your movie last night. Marlena goes to bed and she has a nightmare that really shook her up.

Johnny: What kind of nightmare?

John: She dreamed that she was levitating off the bed.

Johnny: Like she did 25 years ago?

John: And she heard the devil’s voice in her head. You see, this movie is bringing back horrible memories. Trust me, johnny, you don’t want to put her through this.

Johnny: But–

John: I’m serious, kid. If you really love your grandmother, prove it. By dropping this whole project right now.

Ben: Who was that text from?

Marlena: Doesn’t matter. I came here to talk to you about the omen.

Ben: Do you actually think that the wind blowing out all the candles like that is a bad sign?

Marlena: What I didn’t say to you was that I’m thinking of this as a good omen.

Ben: Really?

Devil voice: Ease his mind, marlena. Tell him his baby will be a gift to the world.

Marlena: Don’t you worry. See, I think with all the love you and ciara have to give a child, I think this baby would be good for everybody.

Devil voice: [Laughs] Especially me.

Ben: Thank you, dr. Evans, seriously, for always being there to help me and coming by to check on me. Thank you.

Marlena: It was my pleasure.

Ben: I’ll see you out. Thank you again.

Ciara: Hey, philip. Is your father around?

Philip: He’s in the living room.

Ciara: Is everything okay?

Philip: No. And no, I don’t want to talk about it.

Ciara: Okay. Enjoy your drink.

Philip: Chloe. Before you say anything, I wanted to apologize for hitting brady. I shouldn’t have done that, and I’m sorry.

Chloe: Well, apology not accepted. Not this time.

Philip: I wish you could see it from my perspective.

Chloe: Well, your perspective is warped.

Philip: Are you sure about that? Because every time I see you, you’re in brady’s arms. I mean, damn it, chloe, why can’t I get you to see what’s right in front of you?

Chloe: I can’t do this anymore! I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Philip: Are you breaking up with me?

Chloe: I didn’t say that.

Philip: What are you saying?

Chloe: I’m saying that I feel like we should take a step back. And I just need to breathe and figure out what it is that I want.

Philip: So you’re moving out.

Chloe: Yeah.

Philip: You don’t have to do that. I can give you as much space as you need.

Chloe: See, that’s just it. I don’t want you to give me anything. I’m gonna go pack my things.

Philip: Brady.

Nicole: I just can’t believe I almost let that happen between me and rafe, and right out in the open.

Ej: It wasn’t your fault.

Nicole: Well, it was at least half my fault.

Ej: He’s the one who has a girlfriend.

Nicole: But still, I have to try and get past these feelings. And I do not want to come between ava and rafe.

Ej: And yet, when you’re together…

Nicole: I also want to kiss him. But I don’t, but I do, and…

Ej: So kiss me instead.

Nicole: What?

Rafe: So you’re gonna recreate your mom’s life on screen.

Allie: Well, sort of. Johnny is rewriting the script, so it’s mainly about my grandma marlena now. I mean, I would really just be more of a supporting player if…

Rafe: If what?

Allie: Well, I told johnny that I wasn’t going to do it unless he got permission directly from my grandma.

Rafe: Ah. You think she’ll say yes?

Allie: I mean, if it were me, I definitely wouldn’T. But I don’t know what’s going on in her head.

[Cell phone chimes]

Devil voice: You did well, marlena. Once again, you talked ben weston out of his doubts. And you didn’t even try to warn him.

Marlena: Now, you leave me alone.

Devil voice: Why would i do that? I can feel you giving in. You’re on the verge of being fully mine again. We are almost one.

Ciara: Guess what. You are looking at the new junior executive at titan.

[Both laugh]

Ben: Grandpa said yes?

Ciara: Yes. Like you said, he couldn’t say no to me.

Ben: Well, that makes two of us.

Ciara: Oh, my gosh. He was very complimentary of my work from before.

Ben: But he still hates me.

Ciara: Mm-hmm. Yes. But once I’m in the fold, I will work to make that change.

Ben: Okay. One thing at a time.

Ciara: One thing at a time. So what have you been up to?

Ben: Dr. Evans stopped by to check on me, actually.

Ciara: Really?

Ben: Yeah. I know. I was surprised, too. But she wanted to see how I was feeling after our conversation, and she made me feel even better about us having a baby. And she put my mind at ease about the whole “gust of wind blowing out the candle” situation.

Ciara: Uh-huh. So last night, you weren’t at ease? You were just telling me what I wanted to hear?

Ben: Maybe a little bit.

Ciara: Oh, god.

Ben: But I was only doing it because I want you to be happy.

Ciara: And what about now?

Ben: Well, now, I want us to have a baby just as much as you do.

Johnny: I’ve been so focused trying to raise money to do this movie, I didn’t stop to think about the consequences it has for my own family.

John: Hey.

Marlena: Oh, hi. Johnny, do what do we owe this surprise?

Johnny: Hey, grandma. I actually came to talk to you about something.

John: Johnny–

Marlena: Oh? What is it?

Johnny: So you heard about the movie I want to do, right? How it’s about you now?

Marlena: Yes.

Johnny: Well, I came over to ask for your permission, but after talking to grandpa, I’m having second thoughts. I had everything all lined up. You know, the financing, the script, even the cast, but now I’m thinking I should just scrap the whole thing. It was a bad idea.

Marlena: No, I don’t think so.

Johnny: What do you mean?

Marlena: I think it’s a good idea. Yeah. I want you to make the movie. Somebody in there?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Philip: Good morning.

Chloe: Mm-hmm.

Philip: I’m sorry about our misunderstanding. Seeing you and brady hugging–

Chloe: Misunderstanding? You were a complete ass.

Philip: I was. Like I said, I’m sorry.

Chloe: Yeah, ’cause that solves everything.

Philip: No, but it’s on me to fix this. Which is why I was hoping for a fresh start so that we can water our tree together.

Chloe: Do you know what you can do with your tree?

Brady: So I am excited about the new season.

Nicole: Me too–I will get the look book, and we could– wow, those are huge.

Brady: It’s probably philip’s latest grand gesture to chloe, right?

Nicole: Um.

Brady: Hmm?

Nicole: Actually, they’re for me. From ej.

Ej: Ah, good morning, son. I had harold brew your favorite italian roaster. Hear fellini couldn’t start the day without a good espresso.

Johnny: Suddenly you’re an expert on fellini now?

Ej: I make it a point to educate myself on all my investments. And what investment is more important than your film?

Johnny: Heh, so you go from laughing at the idea of my making a movie to not only investing, but insisting that you play the role of john black.

Ej: Maybe I’ve been bitten by the acting bug.

Johnny: Maybe you just want to stick it to uncle chad.

[Both chuckle]

Chad: Good morning, mrs. Dimera.

Abigail: Is it morning already? Oh, god, I overslept. Why didn’t you wake me up?

Chad: I was just looking at you. Taking you in.

[Soft romantic music]

Ava: I can make you those eggs you like.

Rafe: That sounds great.

Ava: Yeah?

Rafe: What’s this?

Gabi: Breakfast.

Rafe: Wait, are these bunuelos?

Gabi: Just like mami used to make. And I have your coffee, ava. Just how you like it with a splash of cream and two sugars. ‘Cause I know you like it sweet.

Rafe: That’s–okay. Who are you and what have you done with my sister?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Chad: I know that just because we spent the night together, it doesn’t mean that, um, everything is– everything is resolved. But I hope you feel as good about it as I do.

Abigail: You know, when we were reading the script last night, it really got to me when john said that marlena was the only person on earth that makes him feel the way that she does.

Chad: What are you saying, I nailed the–nailed the part?

Abigail: I’m saying you make me feel that way. And you in my bed and in my life, it’s exactly where I want you to be.

Chad: I love you.

Abigail: I love you. And you really did make a great john black. Did you mean it when you said that you were interested in taking on the role?

Chad: I did, yeah. Are you okay with that?

Abigail: Totally, yeah. It’s just that ej did threaten to make trouble for you at dimera if you took on this project.

Chad: Just let him try. I’m not afraid of ej.

Ej: What does chad have to do with me playing the role of john black?

Johnny: Are you kidding? What better way to get under his skin than to play love scenes with abigail as marlena?

Ej: Every actor needs motivation.

Johnny: And yours is screwing with uncle chad. Look, at least respects me enough to be honest. The only reason you’re even interested in this project is because there’s something in it for you.

Ej: I could take my money and walk if my intentions aren’t pure enough for you.

Johnny: You playing john black, I mean, uncle chad and aunt abigail are gonna freak out. What if they both walk and I lose my leading lady and an investor?

Ej: Then we don’t let them quit.

Johnny: And what’s the alternative? Ask politely and everybody just plays nice?

Ej: Something more efficient and binding.

Johnny: Binding?

Ej: Contracts. All you have to do is get chad and abigail to sign on the dotted line. And once they’re locked in, then you can deliver the bad news.

Brady: From ej. Well, that would explain the size. Obviously overcompensating.

Nicole: Be nice.

Brady: What does the card say?

Nicole: “Thank you for a lovely evening. Hope we can do it again soon.”

Brady: Hmm. You’re not falling for this act, are you?

Nicole: What act? He’s just thanking me for a lovely evening.

Brady: Nicole, he treated you like garbage when you were married. Do you remember that?

Nicole: That was a long time ago.

Brady: It’s irrelevant. He’s trying to suck you back into a bad situation. I can’t believe you’re gonna fall for it.

Nicole: Brady, I say this as a friend and with love. Shut up.

Philip: I get that you’re angry but if you could just hear me out.

Chloe: What, so that you can apologize again? How many times do you expect me to accept the same apology from you, philip?

[Sighs]

Look, when we planted that tree together, you promised me that it was a symbol of you fixing your behavior. And I actually started to believe you. Started to believe that we could have a real chance together.

Philip: We do.

Chloe: No, we don’T. Not like this. It will never work out.

Philip: I was a jealous idiot.

Chloe: Yes, you are right about that. But admitting it for the millionth time isn’t going to change anything. And if that tree means so much to you, go water at yourself.

Jake: Looks like your girlfriend’s pretty angry with you. Makes two of us.

Rafe: Is, uh, is this real?

Gabi: Yes, that’s what you wanted, isn’t it? The end of world war iii, taking the high road, making the peace. As I hear they say in philly.

Ava: Sounds vaguely familiar.

Rafe: So what’s going on?

Gabi: I just realized you’re right–this is our home. We should be living here harmoniously. We should be kind to each other.

Rafe: Yeah, we should, yes. This is great. You know what? I hope that this is the start of a better relationship between the two of you, you know, because that will make life a hell of a lot easier on all of us.

Ava: Definitely.

Gabi: You gonna try one?

Rafe: All right. Mmm! Mmm, good! Just like mami used to make.

[Gabi laughs] But I gotta run.

Gabi: Wait, where are you going?

Rafe: I promised the guys down at the squad room that i would bring them sweet bits, and they sell out earlier. So I gotta go. But you know what? We will celebrate this truce tonight with jake.

Gabi: Can’t wait.

Rafe: Okay. Bye.

Ava: Bye. These look really delicious–

Gabi: You lying hag. You gave philip that dirt on jake, didn’t you? Serena: It’s my 3:10

Ava: I don’t know what you are talking about.

Gabi: Oh, that file about jake’s past with the vitali mob. Did you think I wasn’t gonna figure it out?

Ava: No one ever called you stupid. Whatever you are so worked up about, wasn’t me.

Gabi: [Chuckles] The hell it wasn’T. Using some supposed crime from jake’s days at the vitali mob to blackmail me into signing over gabi chic, oh, that has your stink all over it.

Ava: What if it does? What are you gonna do about it?

Jake: What the hell, man? Using my past to blackmail gabi into signing our company over to you, it’s not gonna work. I didn’t kill jensen eddie. Carmine did.

Philip: Then it’ll be your word against his.

Jake: Uh-huh.

Philip: So why don’t you go put on your classy suit my mother bought you and tell your story to the jury. Doesn’t change the fact that you’re nothing but a thug.

Jake: And you’re nothing but a spoiled rich kid who’s so desperate to feel powerful. You’ll fire gabi from her own company. You wanna fire someone, pal, fire me.

Philip: Fine. You’re fired.

Johnny: So you want me to lock uncle chad in as an investor before I announce that you’ll be playing on abigail’s romantic lead? That’s–

Ej: Good business.

Johnny: Underhanded.

Ej: If you don’t like the deal I’m offering, then you can find another investor.

Johnny: You know I’m against the wall on this. There’s no one else. And I’m not gonna make this movie unless lucas, uncle chad, and you invest.

Ej: So do we have a deal? Oh, speak for the devil. Johnny and I were just discussing his lovely leading lady, and you’re both right on time.

Abigail: For what?

Ej: I took the liberty of drawing up contracts on behalf of my son.

Chad: Well, after all the crap you gave him about making his movie, now you’re gonna help him?

Ej: Johnny’s grandfather roman had a change of heart and pulled out. As a father who has witnessed his son’s immense dedication to this project, I felt compelled to help him out in his hour of need. I am now a full investor along with you and lucas. And I couldn’t be more excited about what’s to come.

Chad: Is this true?

Johnny: When you’re making a movie on a shoestring budget, you need all the help you can get, right? Uh, you wanna look this over. I’m afraid I can only afford to pay you to scale, so.

Abigail: Oh, johnny, I’m not doing it for the money. You’re family. And there’s nothing that chad and I want more than to help you make your passion project a reality.

Nicole: I appreciate your concern, brady, but after you messed up your chances with chloe, do you really think you should be doling out relationship advice?

Brady: Okay, technically, I didn’t mess up my chances with chloe, all right? I just waited a little too long to express how I felt about her, and philip kinda just swept in and beat me to the punch. That’s all.

Nicole: Which would have never have happened if you had listened to me. Which is why I say I am not inclined to take your advice. Yeah.

Brady: Okay, hey, fine. You know what? Do whatever you want to do with ej, I’ll stay out of it. I’m not even gonna say another word. Not another–I’m not gonna say another word. I can do it. Look, I can change. If you’ve noticed, I hadn’t said a thing about chloe and philip. I haven’t gotten in their way at all. And if chloe wants my blessing for the two of them, I’m happy to give it. I’ve been their biggest cheerleader, for god’s sakes.

Chloe: I don’t need your blessing, brady. You can pack in the cheerleading too.

Jake: You think I give a damn if you fire me?

Philip: [Laughs] I’m sure you don’T. But at least I can cross it off my to-do list. Doesn’t reflect well on titan to have a murderous thug in its employ.

Jake: You laundered money for ava vitali. And you’re gonna stand over there and judge me? Hey, pal, I got news for you. I got myself out of the mob, whereas you, you needed your daddy’s help. I don’t know if you were just too weak or too damn stupid to figure it out yourself.

Philip: Whatever you think of me or how I conducted myself, you need to remind yourself that there’s only one of us facing serious jail time. But as I told gabi, there’s a very simple solution.

Jake: [Chuckles] You can go straight to hell.

Philip: She signs over gabi chic, you stay a free man.

Gabi: I will never surrender gabi chic to philip, that’s for damn sure, especially when jake is total innocent.

Ava: Ah, is that what he told you?

Gabi: I believe him.

Ava: Does it really matter? ‘Cause he certainly had no problem helping to dispose of jed zanetti’s body. So killer or not, he’s gonna do some nice prison time for that.

Gabi: I don’t– I don’t get it. This is between philip and me. What’s in it for you?

Ava: All these months, you have done nothing but try to break up rafe and me. So when philip needed a hand trying to smack you down, I decided I was gonna show you what it feels like when someone tries to take away something you love.

Gabi: You will never take jake away from me.

Ava: No, I am talking about what you really love. What’s so much a part of you that you live and breathe it. Imagine the day that you sign over the company that you grew with blood, sweat, and tears. Gabi chic rises from the ashes of your stupidity and greed as ava chic.

Abigail: Well, everything looks to be in order.

Johnny: Shall we make it official?

Abigail: I cannot wait to get started.

Ej: I’ve also drawn up identical contracts for lucas, myself, and you as producers. Given your trust tissues, you can confirm for yourself that all three are identical. We invest the same amount to cover the cost of production. If the film makes a profit, the three of us recoup our investment and share in the profits equally.

Chad: All right, let’s do it.

[Suspenseful music]

And, um, you might wanna have your father draw up another contract.

Johnny: W-what do you mean?

Chad: Well, I, uh, I’d like to play opposite my wife as john black.

Abigail: He was helping me run my lines, and he was– he was pretty wonderful.

Chad: Mm-hmm.

Johnny: Uh–uh, you– you wanna play john black? I had no idea.

Ej: Yeah, I told your father. He didn’t mention it?

Johnny: No, no, he didn’T.

Ej: I didn’t think it was my news to deliver.

Chad: Well, I mean, you know now, so. What do you want me to do? You want me to, uh– want me to test?

Johnny: No, I’m sure you would be great.

Ej: Actually, I already have contracts for the role of john black.

Chad: Great. All right, I’ll sign.

Ej: Maybe I wasn’t clear. I’ve already signed it. I’ll be playing john black opposite abigail. Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

Chad: What are you trying to pull, ej?

Ej: I thought you’d be pleased that I’m finally giving my son the support you insisted he deserves. And you know when I do something, I go all out.

Chad: You’re doing this to screw with me because I wouldn’t help railroad your son into working for dimera.

Ej: Always about you, isn’t it?

Abigail: Ej, this is so wrong in so many ways and you know it.

Ej: I’m sorry that you don’t like it. But there’s nothing, really, you can do.

Chad: No–of course there is. Look, you know why your dad’s doing this and it’s not to support you or do what’s best for your film. So solve the problem. Revoke this contract.

Nicole: Oh, hey. Hi.

Rafe: Hi.

Nicole: Oh, is that your idea of a healthy breakfast?

Rafe: Ah, yeah, well, you know, the guys down at the station love their donuts.

Nicole: Which is why I’m on my way to sweet bits myself.

Rafe: Oh, well, I hate to tell you, but i cleaned them out.

Nicole: Oh.

Rafe: Yeah.

Nicole: I see.

Rafe: But I guess I could– yeah, I can spare one for a friend, maybe. What do you say? It’s a nice morning, sunny bench, donut with a friend.

Nicole: Rafe, we agreed.

Rafe: It’s a donut, okay. We don’t have to make it a whole thing.

Nicole: All right.

Rafe: Yeah.

Nicole: I mean, have you ever known me to turn down a donut?

Rafe: Okay. See, that’s more like it.

Nicole: Yeah, and besides, I’m not really in a rush to get back to the office.

Rafe: Okay. Chocolate?

Brady: So philip saw us together at the river?

Chloe: Yeah, and it was bad enough that we were hugging, but we were doing it right in front of the tree, and so he went ballistic.

Brady: You did tell him that we–we were there with my daughter, rachel. And the only reason we were there was to water your tree after we got her pumpkin.

Chloe: Yeah, I know. I mean, when I could get a word in, and I even told him the only reason we were hugging is because you had finally accepted that he and i are a couple and that you were going to respect that.

Brady: Well, that must have calmed him down, right?

Chloe: No, he didn’t believe a word of it. He said that there’s no way that that hug could have been innocent. And then maggie came in, and i was just so furious I had to get away from him. But needless to say, philip and I are barely speaking.

Jake: Uh-uh. See, I’m not going to prison. And gabi, she’s not signing her company over to you.

Philip: And you haven’t been paying attention. You see, I now know that you and gabi have been scheming for weeks to get me fired from titan so you could take over. The keylogger move wasn’t too bright.

Jake: You got no proof on that.

Philip: I do have proof. I have proof that you were involved in a murder in philly.

Jake: And you’d go low enough to use it.

Philip: Gabi started this. I’m just fighting back.

Gabi: Ava chic? Oh, there is no chance in hell I will ever give my company to philip so that you can run it. I would rather–

Ava: What? What? Send your boyfriend to prison for a few decades?

Gabi: Jake isn’t going to prison.

Ava: But you can’t have it both ways, gabi. It’s either your business or your man. I’m thinking that jake needs to be pretty worried.

Gabi: The only one that needs to be worried about losing their man is you. What do you think rafe is gonna do when he finds out that you’ve been trying to steal my company? Woman: I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Chloe: And I can understand that seeing me in your arms could be upsetting to philip and hurt his feelings. But what I don’t understand and what I can’t forgive is that instead of just talking to me about it, he wanted to play some stupid game.

Brady: Game, what do you mean?

Chloe: Well, he asked me to go water our tree together after knowing I had just been there with you. And I didn’t want him to pitch one of his fits, so I just– I didn’t mention that.

Brady: Okay, mm. So he assumed that you intentionally were hiding that from him.

Chloe: I should’ve just told him the truth, but I’m so tired of his jealousy and tiptoeing around him and being afraid that I’m gonna set him off.

Brady: Hey. You know none of this is your fault. You do know that, right?

Chloe: Well, it was my mistake to not listen to you in the first place about him. So you can just– you can go ahead and say it.

Brady: Say what?

Chloe: I told you so.

Jake: This is you fighting back, huh? You can’t hide behind daddy, so what, you turned to ava for help?

Philip: You have a partner in crime; why shouldn’t I?

Jake: Gabi and I, we’re a team. Ava is a bloody viper. She’s not helping you out of the goodness of her heart, man. She’s helping you ’cause she hates gabi.

Philip: Happens to serve my purpose.

Jake: You really think you’re in control, don’t you? Don’t you realize ava will feed you to the wolves to save her own hide, and you won’t even see it coming.

Ava: Rafe would be furious if he found out that I helped philip steal your company. Whew! He would dump my ass so fast. But he isn’t going to find out because if you go running to your big brother, you’re going to need to tell him that jake was involved in a murder that he helped cover up. So, what do you think the police commissioner is going to do with that?

Gabi: You really think my brother won’t be suspicious that you’re all of a sudden running my company?

Ava: No–not if you tell him that running gabi chic no longer sparks joy.

Gabi: Oh, he’ll never believe that.

Ava: Well, make him believe it. Tell him that you want to focus on your life with jake. Maybe you need a new challenge. Well, you know, I would vote for you jumping on a plane and moving in with your little girl.

Gabi: Oh, shut the hell up about ari.

Ava: The reason really doesn’t matter. Just so long as you sign over gabi chic to philip. And once you do, he’s gonna need someone to run it and conveniently hire me. And between you and me, I actually think that rafe is going to feel relieved knowing that someone who’s close to the family is running gabi chic.

Gabi: Well, then you don’t know my brother as well as you think you know him.

Nicole: Mmm. Mmm. These really are delicious.

Rafe: Mm-hmm.

Nicole: I’m still so shocked that julie gave up the family recipe to sweet bits, you know, instead of serving it at julie’s place.

Rafe: I actually think that I prefer the atmosphere better at sweet bits than at julie’s place lately.

Nicole: Because of the other night? Awkward, right?

Rafe: Yeah. Just a little awkward. I hope you and ej didn’t leave early on account of ava and me.

Nicole: Just you.

Rafe: Oh. Just me, huh?

Nicole: Look, I’m trying to stick to the agreement to keep our distance.

Rafe: Yeah.

Nicole: Well, but on the plus side, you got to enjoy a fabulous bottle of wine that ej ordered.

Rafe: Well, ava enjoyed it. I had beer.

Nicole: You’re joking.

Rafe: No, I’m not joking. Would you really think that I would accept anything from ej dimera? I still don’t understand why the hell you–

Nicole: Why the hell what?

Rafe: Never mind. None of my business. Besides, you already know how I feel.

Nicole: Yeah. You mean about me going to dinner with ej.

Rafe: Yeah, exactly that. But damn it, nicole, why would you do anything with him after the way he has treated you?

Ej: My son wouldn’t have hired me unless he believed I’d make an excellent john black.

Chad: That’s bull. You strong armed him into this, and you know it. Johnny, you need to do the right thing here.

Johnny: I’m sorry, but the decision’s already been made.

Abigail: But johnny, you have creative control, so you can unmake it.

Johnny: Yeah, and lose all the money I need to make this movie.

Chad: I’ll give you the money.

Ej: Very generous, but the contract’s been signed. So I suggest we all focus on working together to make the best film possible.

Abigail: Well, that’s impossible.

Ej: Come on. The show must go on. Isn’t that, right?

Johnny: I’m sorry you’re unhappy, but I promise this will be a professional set. Egos at the door.

Chad: Yeah, fat chance.

Johnny: I really am sorry, uncle chad. It’s the only way I could get this movie made. It’s not personal; it’s just business. Is struggling to manage your type 2 diabetes

Gabi: Rafe knows better than anybody how much gabi chic means to me. If I sign it over to philip, he’s gonna know I’ve been blackmailed. And just the idea of you running my company is ridiculous. You have zero experience.

Ava: Yet you hire jake, and his résumé is not that much different than mine. Although he is turning out to be quite the liability, isn’t he? You just figured it out, haven’t you? It’s over, and I’ve won.

[Tense music]

Philip: I am not naive about ava.

Jake: You were under her heel once and you came back for more. You may not be naive, but you sure as hell are stupid.

Philip: I get it. She’s dangerous, but this is different.

Jake: This is the mob, phil. You saw what happened to jed zanetti, didn’t you? He crossed the wrong person, and carmine didn’t hesitate to take him out. You play, there’s a price.

Philip: Is that a threat?

Jake: Oh, you can take it however you want, pal. I’m just saying, last time you got mixed up with the mob, brady took a bullet that had your name on it. You might not be so lucky next time.

Brady: I told you so? Chloe, I’ll never say that to you. I was just looking out for you. I genuinely am sorry for what you’re going through with all this.

Jake: Well, thank you for not rubbing it in. I guess you were right all along. Philip’s the same jealous jerk he was in high school, and no matter what I try to tell him and convince him that I wanna be with him, he can never get over the fact that you and i were once in love.

Brady: I have to admit, and I’m not defending philip’s actions, but, uh, what we had, it was– it was intense. Do you remember? I mean, it was wonderful, it was passionate, it was… we weren’t just in love; we couldn’t get enough of one another, if you recall. My point is, if I were philip, I might be having a hard time with it all as well.

Ej: You know, if you’re still determined to be in this film, I’m sure there’s a role for you. Ooh! Perhaps you could play roman. Something tells me you can bring a great deal to the role of a cuckhold.

Abigail: Okay, hold on. Stop it, please. That’s exactly what he wants. Don’t give him the satisfaction.

Ej: Thank you for maintaining the peace, abigail. And I must say, I’m very much looking forward to working with you.

Abigail: Well, I wish that i could say the same but I– I’m gonna do my best to give a good performance, but it just got a lot more difficult.

Ej: Not to worry. As excited as you were about the chemistry you and chad shared in your reading, you and I have had our own special chemistry, which we will no doubt channel into winning performances as salem’s star-crossed lovers.

Nicole: Ej is my boss. It’s not like I can just say no to his invitation.

Rafe: Come on, you know damn well that wasn’t a business dinner. Come on.

Nicole: Fine. It was a date. Okay, and maybe I had to suppress memories of the way ej treated me in the past. Damn it, rafe, my marriage imploded, and so did his, and we’re both alone, and maybe this was just my way of trying to get past the misery and feel attractive again and alive.

Rafe: Okay, that’s fine. I get that; I do. But I mean, you could do so much better than him.

Nicole: Yeah, I could, and you know what, if I had it my way, I would’ve gone to dinner with you instead of him.

Ej: Hmm. I’d best get to learning my lines. Wouldn’t want to let down my leading lady, especially for the conference room scene. Oh, and from what I’ve researched, I’m thinking this method acting technique could be the ticket. Thoughts?

[Tense music]

Chad: You knew what he was up to, and you let us sign those contracts?

Johnny: I didn’t know you wanted to play john.

Chad: That’s not what this is about! Okay? You scammed us into signing those contracts so you could get what you wanted. Integrity be damned; your father would be proud.

Johnny: I got to finish casting the rest of my movie.

Chad: Unbelievable.

Abigail: I don’t think we should be so hard on johnny.

Chad: Yeah, I’ll try to remember that while ej’s taking you on the conference table.

Abigail: Okay, but maybe it’s not gonna get that far.

Chad: Why?

Abigail: Ej threatened to tell shin that you were too distracted by side projects and he was hoping to get you out. So flip it on him. Convince shin that ej is incapable of properly running dimera because he’s got a side gig of his own. It’ll scare the hell out of him, and maybe he won’t do the movie.

Chad: Well, what do you mean don’t–don’t do it? When have you ever known my brother to quit when he wants something? Right now, what he wants is to come between us.

Abigail: Okay, well then, he is gonna be sorely disappointed. Okay? Because you are the man that I love, okay? And not ej, nobody, when we’re together, no one’s getting between us.

[Soft romantic music]

Chloe: Well, I’m sorry to lay all of this on you yet again.

Brady: Stop, hey, hey, no apologies necessary. It’s not like I don’t bear some responsibility here. I have egged philip on more than once. I could try talking to him again and make him understand that there is nothing going on between us.

Chloe: No, thank you, but I think that would make things a lot worse.

Brady: Maybe. Will you at least let me know if there’s anything I can do? I don’t like to see you unhappy; it makes me unhappy.

Chloe: No, I’ll be okay…

[Both exhale] Once I calm down, which you have helped me do so much already. Thank you.

Brady: I’m always here for you.

Chloe: And that means so much to me.

Brady: Okay.

[Tense music]

Gabi: Don’t take a victory lap just yet, vitali. I am not gonna give up on my company or jake.

Ava: Hmm. You’ve quite the fighting spirit. I give you that.

Gabi: Oh, I’m not just gonna fight; I’m gonna win. And the best part is, when rafe finds out what you tried to pull, you will have chased him straight into nicole’s arms.

Rafe: You’d rather have dinner with me?

Nicole: I miss our friendship, and duke’s great and all, but he really doesn’t say much.

Rafe: No.

Nicole: And look, rafe, we have an agreement to keep our distance because you are with ava. And I am gonna honor that agreement.

Rafe: And I shouldn’t have said anything about ej. It’s just the guy, he’s such a– every time I think about you two or see you two together, I– I just get so damn…

Nicole: So damn what?

Rafe: Jealous.

Nicole: Don’t do that, rafe. Don’t say that. You can’T. You are with ava.

Rafe: I know, but…

Nicole: But what?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Quinn: I have spent the best years of my life right here. In this house with you, secure in the knowledge that nothing could shake us. And I miss that. I miss the ease. I miss how natural it was, and how content we were.

Eric: I miss that too.

Quinn: These past few weeks, they have, they have been so confusing and so emotionally draining, and I, I… I am right back to being on the defensive, constantly with your family again.

Eric: And all of that because of what I, what I put into motion, what I set into motion between you and carter. I’m– it was a very big mistake. Something that we… maybe we can rectify this. Can you make it clear to carter that any involvement with him is over, now?

Quinn: Yes.

Eric: Then go, go to him, go to him now. Tell him it’s over for good.

Katie: Bill?

Bill: I had to see you, katie. It’s been way too long.

Thomas: Are you sure about this?

Paris: You helped me out, and now it’s my turn to help you out.

Thomas: Okay, but look, I appreciate the gesture, but you made this decision on an impulse, and I really, really don’t want you to regret it.

Paris: If you think you can tolerate me, we’ll share this space. You and me. Roommates.

Thomas: Works for me.

Paris: There’s no reason why this can’t work, and this place is big enough for the both of us. And besides, this is just a temporary arrangement, until you find a new house.

[Knocking]

Zende: I come bearing an apartment warming gift. It’s a coffee maker.

Paris: Ah, aren’t you sweet?

Zende: Aren’t you hot?

Paris: Mm.

Zende: So, is this the official handing off of the keys?

Paris: Uh, actually, there was a change of plans. Thomas isn’t gonna move out.

Zende: Say what?

Paris: Yeah, we’re going to be living here together, for a while.

Zende: Wait, um, you and thomas?

Katie: Bill, you can’t just show up here like this.

Bill: I can’t take this distance between us, katie. I want you back. I need you in my life.

Eric: Ridge. I didn’t know you were coming over.

Ridge: Is that your way of saying that i should have called first?

Eric: Why start now? What’s on your mind?

Ridge: Oh, I don’t know. Just trying to wrap my head around this, and every– see, I think, I think I’ve come to a conclusion and I don’t, I just end up baffled. I just don’t know how you’d encourage your wife to be with carter.

[Door knocking]

Carter: Quinn.

Quinn: Wondering why I’m here? You and i have unfinished business. After 40, we need anti-aging care that works.

Zende: So, you two are going to be living together?

Paris: More like temporarily sharing a space. I insisted, after his house deal fell through. Why move twice?

Thomas: Yeah, I mean look, I’ll find a place in no time, be out of here before you know it.

Zende: And in the meantime, you’re going to be living with my girlfriend?

Paris: You don’t have a problem with this, do you, zende?

Katie: Bill, I really have a lot of work to do. I’ve got to put together this whole campaign.

Bill: I’ve given you all the space you asked for. Now, I need you to hear me out.

Katie: Haven’t we said it all, at this point?

Bill: I haven’T. There is a, a hole in my heart, where you and will used to be. I miss my wife. I miss my son.

Katie: I miss him too. So much. But boarding school is the best place for him to be, right now. He is so happy there, he loves it. And he can just, he can focus without constant distractions.

Bill: Like his father going to jail.

Katie: It was so hard on him, bill.

Bill: I’m just glad he didn’t have to suffer any of the fallout.

Katie: I still have a really hard time with what you did, bill. It frightens mE.

Eric: Look, I realize that my pushing carter and quinn together seems like a strange idea to you.

Ridge: Strange idea, dad? It seemed–

Eric: It seemed like the best idea at the time. Look, I wanted to do something for my wife, I didn’t want her to be unhappy. I didn’t want her to, I didn’t want her to just go off and be with some stranger.

Ridge: How about this, how about no affair with anybody?

Eric: That would have been a better idea.

Ridge: It would have.

Eric: It seemed like the best idea for us.

Ridge: Well, it’s the best idea for her, really, right? Because she goes out and you sit here, and you just say, “hey, honey, have fun. Don’t forget your phone. Have fun with carter.”

Eric: Stop it.

Ridge: No, you stop it. It’s gotta be hurtful for you. It’s gotta to be painful to have a wife that claims she loves you, and then she goes and does that.

Quinn: Wow. You know, I used to think about this loft as our sanctuary, till justin barged in, and destroyed all that.

Carter: The guy knows how to ruin the moment, that’s for sure. But, you know what I realized?

Quinn: What?

Carter: That when you’re not here, you’re here. Your presence, your warmth, I want more than that, quinn. Seeing you from a distance, missing you when you should be here–

Quinn: Hey, carter. Stop. There’s something I have to tell you.

Think wearing less makeup

means no need for a wipe?

Zende: Yeah. Sure, the two of you, temporarily living together… makes sense.

Thomas: Plus, as a bonus, you got me looking after paris, right? Not that you need it, the self-sufficient warrior that you are.

Zende: Of course. Paris is a total badass. One of the many reasons why I am so razy about her.

Thomas: So, you two are probably anxious to have the place to yourselves, I promise I won’t take too long, I still remember a few of the houses that I looked at that might work, so, um, I’ll look at ’em again.

Paris: One more time, and I’ll believe you. I want you to becomfortable with this. So, are you?

Bill: Katie, you know me better than anyone. The lengths that I would go to to protect my family.

Katie: I know. I know how much you want to protect us. But you take everything to the extreme.

Bill: I won’t apologize for that.

Katie: I don’t expect you to. I am just trying to give you my point of view, because from where I stand, you do reckless things. You do dangerous things. You left a man on the side of a road, you just left him there. Liam hit him, sure, but it was an accident. But you destroyed evidence, you covered up the scene.

Bill: I was laser-focused on protecting liam, in that moment. The same way I would will, or wyatt, or any of the people that I love. And there is nobody that i love more than you.

Eric: I want to stop you right there. Don’t come down on quinn, or carter either, for that matter. Resuming their affair was my idea. Neither one of them was even on board, at first.

Ridge: They came around quickly enough. Dad, you were going through something. Your wife should have been there for you, instead of running off with carter.

Quinn: You were such a wonderful surprise. You’re the last thing I expected. Eric made me feel so unwanted after I targeted brooke and ridge’s marriage, it left me vulnerable, and left me open to you. This beautiful man, who took my breath away, made me feel like the most beautiful, and desirable woman in the world.

Carter: That’s what you are.

Quinn: That’s how I feel every time you look at me. And I have cherished every moment I got to spend with you.

Carter: I felt surprised too. When things ended with zoe, I didn’t think I’d find love again, but there you were. This unexpected connection that turned into a love unlike anything I’ve, I’ve ever known.

Quinn: It’s so hard to give you up.

Carter: So don’T.

Quinn: What?

Carter: We don’t have to hide in the shadows anymore. Our secret’s out, quinn, and guess what? The world, it didn’t end. And we still love each other. So this is our chance, quinn, we can finally be together, so let’s take it. Ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete,

Katie: This all feels very familiar. You do something shocking and destructive, and you throw all of our lives up in the air on an impulse. And then when whatever you put into motion blows up in your face, you… you come to me, because you know that I’ll always be here for you. And you know that I love you. And at that moment, I become the woman that you love, more than any other. And I can’t tell you how much I’ve always wanted to believe that.

Bill: Then, believe it. Because no matter what we’ve been through, you are the woman I love like no other.

Katie: I’m not sure that’s true.

Bill: You’re talking about brooke? I thought we’d gotten past that.

Katie: I forgave you, I forgave her, but I can’t forget. You loved her. You were my husband. She was my sister, the thought of the two of you together will always hurt me.

Bill: You don’t know how deeply I regret that.

Katie: I know you do. I do know. You always do. After the fact. Bill, the question that I have been asking myself over these last few weeks is why do I allow myself to be put in these situations that ultimately are so demeaning, and so demoralizing, and don’t I… don’t I deserve better than that?

Bill: You do. You absolutely deserve better than that. Katie, you are the only woman that I want. I just… I have this knack for tearing down what is most dear to me, and that’s you. If you give me one more chance, just– just one, you will believe that.

Katie: I needed time and space to figure out how I feel about everything. And we’ve been apart for a while now, and there’s a part of me that’s ready to move on. There’s a part of me that feels, feels good that I don’t have to wait for the other shoe to drop, and I don’t have to wonder when I’m going to be blindsided again. It’s a relief.

Bill: I hate that. I hate being the cause of your pain. That’s never my intention. I want to be the person that brings you nothing, nothing but happiness, and if you’ll– if you open the door, just a crack, I’ll do the rest. What I won’t do, what I refuse to do is to live a life without you by my side. And yes, I haven’t always been the man that you deserve, and yes, I’m sorry, I have taken you for granted, but I’ve learned my lesson. If you give me one more chance, katie, just one, I swear I won’t let you down.

Eric: Look, I know that there is a strong connection between quinn and carter, I know that.

Ridge: And that’s okay with you?

Eric: No, it’s not. I know that it’s wrong. I’ve admitted that to quinn, and she is, she’s with carter right now, ending this whole thing. She’s gonna make it very clear that it’s over.

Carter: One word, quinn, yes. Just say it, and we’re out of here.

Quinn: Carter–

Carter: I’ll load up the car, and we can leave la, and everyone in it. We can go wherever. We can start over, quinn. We can be free. We can be free to be together, to choose each other. I mean, everyone already knows about us. We can finally own how we feel. Think about it, think about it. The two of us, walking in the sun, proud of our love. This is our moment, quinn, this is the moment we’ve been waiting for. Now, one of two things can happen, you can walk out that door, and back into your life as mrs. Eric forrester, or you can be free and hit the open road with me.

Quinn: I can’t believe you’re saying this. I’m a, I’m a married woman.

Carter: I’m aware. And you’ve been married this entire time, and yet, I love you and you love me. I realize I’m asking you to give up a lot. Position, money, status, your portrait on the wall, I know how much that means to you, but quinn, what can be more than the way we feel for each other? We both say we’ve never experienced anything like this.

Quinn: Never.

Carter: That’s because it’s rare, and it may never come along again, quinn, so we owe it to ourselves, we owe it to each other to take a chance. Our life together is out there. We just have to go out there and we have to grab it, so what do you say? Come on, hit the road with me. Let’s do this. We can go wherever it leads. Say you want this. Say you want this as much as I do. Say you want a life with me.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Quinn: [Sighing] Steffy wanted me to look at this layout, but I will come back later.

Ridge: We need to talk.

Quinn: Uh, now isn’t a good time.

Ridge: I don’t care.

Quinn: I thought eric made it perfectly clear. The details of our marriage are none of your concern.

Eric: Here we are.-No sugar, no lemon, your usual.

Katie: Oh, I guess that means I have been over here quite a lot lately, huh?

Eric: Yes, you have.

[Laughing] You’re always welcome, katie.

Katie: Glad you feel that way.

Eric: I do.

Katie: I know that you have been going through a difficult time, and I am sure that there are things that you’d rather not talk about, but I do have some questions. It, it really touches me that you felt like you could be open and honest with me about your personal problems, and about… what’s happening in your marriage to quinn. I really cherish that part of our friendship. So, I have to be honest with you. I still have trouble with what you told me about quinn and carter.

Thomas: How did this happen?

Paris: The seller backed out?

Thomas: Well, I thought that was my realtor calling, and I thought that he was gonna tell me that all the paperwork is ready to be signed, but apparently, the guy just decided to flip the house to his buddy instead.

Paris: He accepted your offer, though?

Thomas: But not my counter, so says my realtor. And apparently, since the paperwork wasn’t signed, it doesn’t matter. I wanted this place so bad, paris, it was mine.

Paris: But now, it’s not. I’m sorry. I’ll, I’ll just take my things and go.

Paris: I am so sorry. You were really excited about that place.

Thomas: I thought I had it.

Paris: Can the seller just change his mind like that?

Thomas: Apparently. Nothing was finalized, so.

Paris: Well, you’ll just have to believe that there’s an even better place out there for you. You’ll find it. Uh, I’m gonna call my friend and tell her that I need her room.

Thomas: No, no, no, wait. We agreed that you could live here. Okay? You already signed the sublet forms.

Paris: When we thought that you were moving out. But you’re not, so–

Thomas: No, no, no, don’T. Hey, don’t do that. Don’t leave.

Eric: Katie, I knew this would be hard for you to understand.

Katie: I really want to understand.

Eric: I’m not really sure that anybody outside the situation really can. Look, I realize that what I put into motion between quinn and carter is unusual, I realize that.

Katie: You say you love your wife, that you’re happy together, but… she’s sleeping with another man.

Eric: But she’s, but she’s not cheating on me.

Katie: Because you know about it?

Eric: It’s more than that. Katie, I didn’t just step aside for this. I actually encouraged them to be together.

Katie: Why? Why, eric?

Ridge: I don’t need to hear any more sordid details about your marriage.

Quinn: Really? Isn’t that why you sent justin after us to spy–

Ridge: I did what I did to protect my dad. I’m not gonna apologize for that.

Quinn: Eric doesn’t need protection.

Ridge: Really? Because he’s still with you, and that can’t be good for him, right? Knowing that you’re in bed with another man.

Quinn: Well, that was his idea. It’s what he wanted.

Ridge: Well, you and carter didn’t have to go along with it.

Quinn: We didn’t want to.

Ridge: But you did. If you cared about my dad, if you respected him at all, you would have refused it. You would have kept refusing it, and seen this offer for what it was. A test. A test to see that if things go really bad, that you would be there for him.

Quinn: No.

Ridge: No, you weren’T. You failed. And why, why did… what possessed you, really? I guess we both know the answer to that, don’t we? Lactaid is 100% real milk, just without the lactose.

Quinn: I love your father. You’re never gonna believe that, but it’s true.

Ridge: But you have feelings for carter.

Quinn: Of course, I do, I’m not gonna deny that either.

Ridge: No shame? Nothing?

Quinn: I’m sorry, would you rather I say I didn’t have feelings for him? Would that make what happened any less offensive to you? Listen, ridge, think what you want. Eric knows that I’m committed to him, and only him. We’re secure in our marriage.

Ridge: Well, that’s your marriage, right? This new, unconventional way of looking at things, where you do everything you want. You have sex with carter, and just call it a sacrifice while your husband’s sitting at home with two martinis, waiting for you to show up.

Quinn: What eric and I have isn’t superficial. We’re not just companions. Our connection is every bit as deep and meaningful as your connection is to brooke.

Ridge: Be careful.

Quinn: Be careful? No, I think you need to be careful, because you’re angry that eric didn’t share this with you. You want to blame me, ridge? I’m not the one making eric feel bad about himself. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go home to my husband.

Paris: I can’t thank you enough for offering your apartment to me.

Thomas: It’s your apartment, paris. Look, you signed the agreement.

Paris: Well, unsign it. And it’ll be fine at my friend’s place. She has enough room.

Thomas: Look, you just said you’re sick of bouncing around, right? I mean here, you could settle in, you could decorate, you could finally unpack these bags, for goodness’ sakes.

Paris: That would have been great. But, I don’t want you to feel bad that it didn’t work out.

Thomas: But I do.

Paris: Why? I mean, this whole day has been a roller coaster for you. Getting that house was important. It would have been a big step forward.

Thomas: Yeah, it’s like stepping into the next phase of my life.

Paris: So this is just a temporary setback.

Thomas: Okay, for me, yeah. But not for you. Alright, look, I can figure something out. It’s not a big deal. I can stay with my dad, or with my sister.

Paris: Why move twice? You’re going to find a place. I will only agree to stay here if you do too. It was yours first, it has two bedrooms, and douglas, he’s already familiar with it. I insist.

Carter: Ridge.

Ridge: You seem disappointed. Were you expecting your girlfriend? I’m sorry, that’s rude. Were you expecting my father’s wife?

Carter: Okay, you wanna talk. That’s fine. But I won’t let you unload on quinn.

Ridge: Hm, right off the bat, protecting her, huh? What happened to you? We used to be best friends, and now, I can barely talk to you.

Carter: I’m sorry you feel that way.

Ridge: I do. Anything else you feel sorry about?

Carter: You’re shocked. We knew you would be when you found out about this. That’s why your dad told us not to say anything.

Ridge: My dad asked you not to say anything because he knows it’s wrong. I know it’s wrong. Everyone knows it’s wrong. What about you? You think this is messed up? Because, if you don’t, nothing else for us to talk about.

Eric: Look around this room. What do you see?

Katie: I see the piano where you sing christmas carols. I can see the fireplace, where so many happy couples have gotten married. This house is full of memories.

Eric: I cherish every one of them. I do. But when i was alone here, they were painful. You must know what that feels like. Being alone in your house, with will off at boarding school.

Katie: I do.

Eric: Yeah. And so when quinn came back, she brought life back to my house, and to me.

Katie: You’re sharing the same space, I understand that. But, are you really sharing yourselves? I mean I know you can’t, physically, but are you sharing your love for each other, your plans for the future? Doing what you’ve done, allowing quinn to be with carter, another man, I just have to ask. Deep down, do you really, truly love and trust quinn?

Quinn: Katie. You’re becoming a regular fixture around here, aren’t you?

Eric: Katie can stop by anytime she likes.

Quinn: And what are you here for today? To share you opinion about what’s going on? I can only imagine what you think of me.

Katie: All I care about is eric’s happiness, quinn. I’m just wondering if you can say the same.

To be a thriver with

metastatic breast cancer

Thomas: That’s really sweet of you, but I can’t stay. Look, I want you to feel at home here.

Paris: Your sister and finn helped me out, when I needed a place to stay, and now, I am paying it forward. And besides, I’m not gonna kick you out of your own apartment.

Thomas: Well, I mean, I am a pretty great roommate, and douglas says I am quite the chef.

Paris: Oh, well, see? That just works out great for me.

Thomas: Granted, his favorite foods are grilled cheese, and chicken tenders.

Paris: That sounds delicious.

Thomas: Okay, so, well, uh, are you staying?

Paris: Are you?

Thomas: Uh… I want you to feel at home here, okay? And me staying here will, it will be very temporary, right? I’ll find a new place soon. Heh, it’ll be nice. Nice to have some company.

Ridge: I didn’t come over here to berate you, carter. I’m just trying to find your part in all of this. I talked to my dad, I talked to quinn, none of it makes sense to me.

Carter: What do you want to know?

Ridge: How could you do this to my dad?

Carter: Okay. Well, the first thing you need to understand, ridge, is that eric wasn’t tricked. He wasn’t manipulated. Quinn and I were stunned when he suggested it.

Ridge: You could have said no.

Carter: We did. He wouldn’t let it go. He was determined to make her happy. In fact, her satisfaction was the only thing that mattered to him. I’m telling you what happened.

Ridge: Tell me you were fine with it.

Carter: We didn’t want to hurt eric, okay? This was his idea. He suggested this.

Ridge: Tell me you were fine with it.

Carter: It’s not about who’s fine with it. We didn’t want to hurt eric. Quinn loves him. I love him too. This is the last thing we wanted.

Quinn: You don’t need to worry about my husband’s happiness, katie.

Katie: But I do.

Quinn: Well, it’s not really necessary. You don’t need to come over here and hold his hand, ’cause I’m his wife. Nobody cares more about eric’s well-being than I do.

Katie: Okay, well, given what I know about you and carter, you’ll have to forgive my skepticism.

Quinn: It’s really none of your business.

Eric: Quinn, I’ve been open with katie, I’ve been very open with her.

Quinn: Well then, she should realize that this is between us.

Katie: I do.

Quinn: Then, you won’t take it the wrong way, if I ask you to leave. I’d like to be alone with my husband.

Katie: It was good talking with you.

Eric: You too, katie, you too.

Quinn: Oh, I am sure she was telling you what a horrible person I am.

Eric: I don’t let anybody talk about you that way.

Quinn: Really? Well, ridge, he didn’t get the memo, because he gave me an earful at the office.

Eric: Hm.

Quinn: Eric, I love you. I hope you know that, and I am still so confused about what happened, but I need to know that it hasn’t damaged our marriage. Yawns “okay okay, I’m up, I’m up!”

Ridge: That’s not you. That’s not the man I trusted and respected all these years. Wha did quinn do to you? How did she get to you?

Carter: Don’t blame this–

Ridge: If I don’t blame her, I gotta blame you. Which is it?

Carter: There’s no one to blame, ridge. Here’s the truth, all right? It’s no excuse. When zoe and I ended things, it was rough. I thought I had a future with her, and when it ended, I felt lost, and so did quinn, because your father was pushing her out for months. We bonded. There was this… this chemistry, and eventually–

Ridge: Okay. That was over. You promised to stay away from her. It doesn’t matter what my dad told you to do. You’re a grown man, right? Make your own decisions. You know he wasn’t thinking straight. You knew that, maybe, you didn’t want to know.

Carter: That’s not fair.

Ridge: No, you know what’s not fair, carter? You found out my dad had ed. You didn’t come to me, because the two of us, we could have done something about it. Instead of this, trying to salvage the relationship we had. And now, my dad’s barely talking to me.

Carter: You’re right. I should have told you.

Ridge: Can I ask you something? How do you feel about her? How do you feel about my father’s wife?

Quinn: I’m used to being treated like the bad guy.

[Quinn sighing]

Eric: Quinn, I’ve made it very clear to everyone that this whole situation between you and carter was my idea.

Quinn: But they still see it as my fault, that i wasn’t supportive enough, I made you feel inadequate, you, you couldn’t possibly share your feelings with me–

Eric: Quinn, I defended you to everyone.

Quinn: Yeah.

>>Eric: No one’s gonna score any points treating me like some old fool that doesn’t know his own mind.

Quinn: It’s so frustrating!

Eric: Yes, I know. Quinn. I know you have feelings for carter, I know. I know the connection between you is very powerful, I know that.

Quinn: But so do we. I’m your wife.

Eric: Can that be enough? Could that be enough, for you to leave your feelings for carter behind?

Quinn: Eric, my feelings for you are all that have ever mattered to me. That’s what nobody seems to understand. Do you know how much I love you, how much being your wife means to me? No one seems to get that. They don’t understand why you did what you did. I don’t even understand it half of the time. But when you ask me if being your wife is enough? Being your wife… is the greatest gift I have ever received. I cherish every single moment that I have spent with you. Every martini, every time we have sat at the piano, every time we’ve made love. I don’t take any of it for granted. I love you.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Rafe tells Nicole that he shouldn’t have said anything about EJ. Rafe admits that every time he sees Nicole and EJ together, he gets so damn jealous. Nicole tells him not to say that because he’s with Ava. Rafe says he knows but.. Nicole asks but what? Rafe and Nicole almost kiss but EJ walks up and asks if he’s interrupting something.

Philip goes to the Basic Black office and finds Brady and Chloe hugging. Philip asks what the hell. Brady tells him that he can explain but Philip doesn’t want to hear it. Philip walks in and punches Brady down.

Johnny goes to see Allie at Sweet Bits Bakery and presents her a contract to play Sami in his movie.

Marlena is asleep in bed as she dreams about levitating above her bed and the Devil saying he needed her to be his, as she then wakes up in a panic.

Allie thought Roman pulled his financing to she thought Johnny couldn’t make his movie. Johnny then reveals that he got the money from his father.

Nicole tells EJ that he’s not interrupting anything as she just bumped in to Rafe and he offered to share a donut from Allie’s bakery. EJ calls that strange as he thought they were trying to stay away from each other.

Ben picks up a candle in his room and thinks back to when all the candles blew over the night before. Ciara wakes up in the bed and asks if Ben is okay.

John brings Marlena breakfast in bed and asks how she’s feeling. Marlena responds that she’s not sure as she had another upsetting dream. John asks if she has any idea what this one was about. Marlena says she unfortunately does so John asks if she wants to tell him about it. Marlena reveals that she was levitating in her dream and says it felt so real.

Chloe checks on Brady and asks if Philip has lost his mind. Philip complains that Chloe was in Brady’s arms again. Chloe insists that Brady was just trying to be a friend but Philip thinks Brady is trying to take her away from him and he’s somehow the bad guy. Philip remarks that Brady’s lucky one punch is all he got.

Ben tells Ciara that he was just putting the candles away and got reminded of that weird thing last night. Ciara reminds him that they agreed that it was just a random gust of wind. Ciara says they had an amazing night last night and asks if he’s not second guessing trying to have a baby. Ben assures that he’s not. Ciara kisses him and says she’s glad to hear that. Ciara tells Ben that she thinks it’s about time for her to get a job.

Rafe tells EJ that Nicole didn’t do anything wrong. EJ says he’s being supportive since he knows Nicole wants to do the right thing and that Ava is her friend, so she doesn’t want to make any trouble. Rafe says there won’t be any trouble unless EJ causes it. Nicole says they don’t need to talk about this but Rafe wants to hear what EJ has to say. EJ feels that Nicole is trying to move on but Rafe won’t let her, so he wonders how Ava would feel about what he just saw.

Allie brings up EJ being against the movie since the beginning, so she questions EJ just deciding to accept it and wanting to invest. Johnny claims that’s what happened. Allie knows EJ doesn’t do anything without something being in it for him. Johnny admits that EJ’s one demand was that he get a role in the movie. Allie asks what role, so Johnny informs her that EJ wants to play John.

John asks Marlena if she remembers anything else about her dream. Marlena admits that she remembers somebody talking to her while she was levitating. John asks who it was. Marlena responds that she didn’t see him, but she could hear him so clearly. John asks if she recognized the voice. Marlena responds that she hadn’t heard it in so many years, but she does know exactly who it is. John asks who, so Marlena admits it’s Satan, the Devil.

Allie asks why EJ would want to play John when he’s a lawyer and a CEO of a national company. Johnny explains that Abigail is playing Marlena, so EJ is trying to piss of Chad for not trying to convince him to work at DiMera. Allie asks if he’s cool with this. Johnny admits that EJ is not his first choice, but the important thing is, he gets to make his movie, so he needs Allie to sign. Allie responds that she can’t do it because John and Roman are against making the movie. Allie adds that they asked him not to include Marlena’s possession and he instead made it the entire movie. Johnny argues that it’s an important story that needs to be told and claims it honors the strength of Marlena and John’s love story. Allie then decides that she will act in the movie if he gets direct permission from Marlena. Allie says if Marlena is not okay with it then neither is she. Johnny tells her not to worry as Marlena will be okay with it. Johnny then walks away.

John encourages Marlena to not think about it as it was just a dream. John tells her to focus on her patients and reminds her that Doug and Julie will need her to be on top of her game. John reminds her that she was so concerned about Ben last night. Marlena thinks back to the Devil saying he needs Ben and Ciara’s baby for himself. Marlena then tells John that she needs to get to Ben right now, so she’s going to shower and then to go see Ben.

Ben recalls Ciara thinking about going to get her job back at Titan. Ciara confirms that she’s going to see Victor. Ben wishes her luck. Ciara says she won’t leave until Victor gives her the answer she wants. Ben kisses her and she suggests trying to have a baby again later. Ciara then goes to get ready.

Brady argues that Philip sounds like a crazed idiot. Philip mocks the idea of Brady just being a supportive friend with no ulterior motives. Brady insists that he was trying to set the record straight. Chloe says there’s no point. Brady suggests hitting Philip twice as hard as he did but says he’ll take the high road. Brady warns Philip to get out of his office or he’ll have security throw him out.

Rafe asks EJ if it’s fun being a troll. EJ claims that he’s just asking questions. Rafe argues that he’s inserting himself into something that’s none of his business and trying to make everyone uncomfortable while doing it. EJ argues that the only person making Nicole uncomfortable is Rafe. Rafe questions EJ judging him after how he’s treated every woman he’s been with, including Nicole. Rafe remarks that it’s no wonder things didn’t work out with EJ and Sami. EJ asks how he’s the bad guy when he gave Rafe and Ava a $300 bottle of wine to smooth things over. EJ thinks he should thank him for getting Nicole out of a very tense situation at Julie’s Place which saved Rafe’s ass. Rafe argues that everything was fine. EJ accuses Rafe of mooning over Nicole in public and declares that Rafe is playing silly games with Nicole and Ava. Rafe tells EJ that’s enough. Nicole tells them both to stop it. EJ asks if Rafe wants to hit him and tells him to go ahead. EJ points out someone near by could be filming so it will go viral. Rafe says it might just be worth it. Nicole tells Rafe to just go, so he walks away. EJ says that was fun and remarks that he’s lucky he came along when he did. Nicole really wishes he hadn’t.

Philip asks Chloe to go somewhere to talk alone. Chloe tells him to leave. Brady warns that his security team plays rough. Philip agrees to go home and tells Chloe they will talk about this later as he exits. Chloe tells Brady that she’s so sorry and asks if he’s sure he’s alright. Brady says he’s fine but he’s upset about how Philip is treating her. Chloe thinks Brady may have been right about Philip all along. Brady wishes he wasn’t. Chloe doesn’t think Philip knows how to change, so it’s up to her to fix this.

Johnny goes to see John and asks if he can talk to Marlena. John says he just missed her but asks if he can help. Johnny informs him that he got the money needed for his movie from EJ. John thought EJ was against the project. Johnny claims that EJ changed his mind and decided to support his vision by signing on as a producer and actor. Johnny reveals that EJ is playing John which John can’t believe. Johnny says that everything is set but he needs one more thing to take care of as Allie won’t sign on to play Sami without Marlena’s permission. John tells him that he’s afraid he’s out of luck because there’s no way in hell she’s going to give him that.

Ciara goes to see Allie at Sweet Bits Bakery and asks what she recommends for her to butter up Victor. Allie gives her recommendation then asks what Ciara needs to butter him up for. Ciara explains that she wants her old job back at Titan, hoping it will put her and Ben in a good financial position for when they have a baby. Allie excitedly asks if that’s happening and questions what happened to Ben’s doubts since last time they talked, she was afraid he might never want kids. Ciara tells her that he was afraid of passing on his mental illness to their kids, but he talked to Marlena and she helped him work through his issues so she owes her big time. Ciara tells Allie that Ben felt a lot better, so they went right down to it and she threw away her birth control pills. Allie is surprised all it took is one session with Marlena and wonders what she said to him.

Marlena goes to see Ben and says she’s sorry to come by unannounced, but she knows he was a little conflicted after their last session so she just wanted to make sure he was alright. Ben thanks her and says he appreciates that as he invites her in. Marlena asks how he is. Ben informs her that he took her advice, so he and Ciara decided they are ready to have a child and she even threw away her birth control pills last night. Marlena calls that a big step. Ben says they took it thanks to her. Ben adds that afterwards, they both had a strange feeling that they made a baby. Marlena calls that wonderful. Ben tells her that he was feeling really hopeful until the wind blew open the window and blew out all the candles. Ben notes that the night was completely calm otherwise but when the wind entered the room, it sent a cold shiver through his entire body. Ben knows it sounds silly but he was afraid maybe it could’ve been like an omen. Marlena responds that maybe it was, so Ben asks what she means. Marlena thinks back to arguing with the Devil about using Ben. Ben asks Marlena if she actually thinks the wind could’ve been a sign that they shouldn’t have a baby. Ben knows it makes no sense, but asks if he should be worried about the strange feeling he got when the wind blew through. Marlena gets a text so Ben asks if she needs to take that, but Marlena says no as she came to talk to him. Marlena gets two more messages so Ben tells her it could be a patient so it’s okay. Marlena then checks her phone and sees an animated video message from The Devil, warning her not to tell Ben as his plans are for him and her alone. Ben asks Marlena what it is.

Ciara tells Allie that whatever Marlena said must have been very persuasive since Ben left not wanting to have children but came back very open to the idea. Allie asks if he’s not worried at all anymore. Ciara notes that Ben still has doubts but said whatever happens happens and they will get through it together. Allie encourages that they will be great parents. Ciara hopes she’s not pressuring Ben in to doing something he doesn’t want to do. Allie guarantees that when they have the baby, any uncertainty will go away as Ben will fall in love with the child just like she did with Henry. Ciara decides she better go see Victor. Allie hugs her and wishes her luck with everything as Ciara then walks away.

Chloe can’t believe how many times they’ve been through this where Philip goes too far and explodes with jealousy, then apologizes and promises to never do it again, so she gives him another chance and he blows it again. Brady tells Chloe that it’s not getting better, it’s getting worse as Philip is starting to lose more control. Chloe acknowledges that so Brady asks what she’s going to do. Chloe cries that all she knows is that she needs to do something now before someone gets really hurt.

Nicole tells EJ that Rafe was right that he’s acting like a troll and a jerk. EJ thought he was going a good thing since she said she wanted to get over Rafe. EJ asks what would’ve happened if he hadn’t come along. Nicole responds that she doesn’t know, but EJ says he does and asks if Nicole really wants to be making out with Ava’s boyfriend in public. Nicole says of course not, so EJ says he wasn’t just saving her from Rafe, but from herself. Nicole responds that she doesn’t need to be saved from Rafe or herself. Nicole then admits that EJ did stop her from doing something that she might have regretted. Nicole still thinks EJ could have handled it differently. EJ acknowledges that Rafe gets under his skin. Nicole points out that EJ loves getting under Rafe’s. EJ apologizes, but insists that he’s on her side. Nicole says that she knows. EJ asks if he was right about what he saw, that she was about to kiss Rafe. Nicole confirms that she was.

Rafe walks through the town square frustrated. Allie comes over and asks if everything is alright. Rafe tells her that he had a little run in with EJ and almost forgot what a piece of work he is. Allie agrees and asks what he did. Rafe says it’s not worth talking about as he and EJ never really got along, mostly because of Sami. Rafe asks if Allie has spoken to Sami. Allie says she hasn’t and that Johnny has been trying to get in touch with her too. Rafe wonders if everything is okay. Allie guesses it’s probably better that Sami isn’t around, as she’s not sure how Sami would feel about her playing her in Johnny’s movie.

John knows how talented Johnny is and thinks he has a great career ahead of him but argues that this is not the movie he wants to make. Johnny asks him to just try reading the script. John argues that he lived it and he definitely doesn’t want Marlena to read it because it’s already upset her. John explains that they talked about the movie last night and then Marlena had a nightmare that really shook her up. Johnny asks what kind of nightmare it was. John informs her that she dreamed that she was levitated above the bed and heard the Devil’s voice in her head. John worries that this movie is bringing back horrible memories and insists that Johnny doesn’t want to put her through this. John tells Johnny to prove that he really loves his grandmother by dropping this whole project right now.

Ben asks who the text was from. Marlena says it doesn’t matter because she came to talk to him about the omen. Ben asks if she actually thinks it was a bad sign. Marlena claims that she thinks of it as a good omen. The Devil encourages Marlena. Marlena tells Ben that with all the love he and Ciara have to give a child, she thinks the baby would be good for everybody. The Devil says especially him. Ben thanks Marlena for always being there for him and coming to check on him. Marlena then exits.

Philip goes home to the Kiriakis Mansion and has a drink. Ciara walks in and asks if Victor is around. Philip tells her that he’s in the living room. Ciara asks if everything is okay. Philip says no and that he doesn’t want to talk about it. Ciara tells him to enjoy his drink then and exits the room. Chloe comes home. Philip tells her that he’s sorry for hitting Brady as he shouldn’t have done that. Chloe says she’s not accepting his apology this time. Philip wishes she could see it from his perspective as every time he sees her, she’s in Brady’s arms. Philip asks why he can’t get her to see what’s right in front of her. Chloe shouts that she can’t do this anymore. Philip asks if she’s breaking up with him. Chloe clarifies that she didn’t say that so Philip asks what she is saying. Chloe feels like they should take a step back so she can breathe and figure out what she wants. Chloe then tells Philip that she’s moving out. Philip says she doesn’t have to as he can give her all the space she needs. Chloe doesn’t want him to give her anything and says she’s going to pack her things as she then exits the room. Philip blames Brady.

Nicole can’t believe she almost let her and Rafe kiss out in the open. EJ says it wasn’t her fault, pointing out that Rafe is the one who has a girlfriend. Nicole says she has to get past these feelings and she does not want to come between Ava and Rafe. Nicole admits that when she’s with Rafe, she wants to kiss him but she doesn’t. EJ then tells Nicole to kiss him instead as he then kisses her.

Rafe questions Allie recreating Sami’s life on screen. Allie explains that Johnny is remaking the script to be more about Marlena now so Allie would be more of a supporting player. Allie notes that she told Johnny that she wouldn’t do it unless he got permission directly from Marlena. Rafe asks if she thinks Marlena will say yes. Allie admits that if it were her, she definitely wouldn’t, but she doesn’t know what’s going on in Marlena’s head.

Marlena goes home and starts to pull out her key to the door but gets another message from the Devil, saying she did well by talking Ben out of his doubts. Marlena tells him to leave her alone now. The Devil says he can feel her giving in again and that they are almost one.

Ciara goes home and tells Ben that she is the new junior executive at Titan as Victor couldn’t say no to her and was very complimentary of her work from before. Ben points out that Victor still hates him. Ciara says she will work to change that but they agree to take it one thing at a time. Ciara asks what Ben has been up to. Ben tells her that Marlena stopped by to check on her to see how he was feeling after their conversation. Ben notes that Marlena made him feel even better about them having a baby and put his mind at ease about the gust of wind blowing out the candles. Ciara questions if he wasn’t at ease last night then and was only telling her what she wanted to hear. Ben admits he was a little bit but only because he wants her to be happy. Ciara asks what about now. Ben responds that he wants them to have a baby just as much as she does as they kiss.

Johnny tells John that he’s been so focused on raising money for this movie that he didn’t stop to think about the consequences it has for his own family. Marlena then comes in and asks what Johnny is here for. Johnny says he actually came to see her and brings up the movie being about her, so he came to ask for her permission but actually talking to John, he’s having second thoughts. Johnny adds that he had everything lined up but now he’s thinking it’s a bad idea and he should scrap the whole thing. Marlena disagrees and claims she thinks it’s a good idea, so she wants him to make the movie which surprises both Johnny and John.

Nick: I bet the two of them are having more fun than the rest of us combined.

Phyllis: That’s great.

Kyle: Yeah, summer’s a natural at this whole parenting thing.

Noah: No one’s worried about you not having room in your life for Harrison. We’re more worried about you not having room in your closet for all the swag you’re bringing home from Marchetti.

Summer: Oh! No, okay, I have a simple solution to that problem. See, I wear them once, and then I just give them away.

Noah: Wait. Seriously?

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Philip goes to see Chloe at the Kiriakis Mansion and brings her flowers as he apologizes for their misunderstanding about her and Brady hugging. Chloe says he was a complete ass. Philip repeats that he’s sorry and gives her the flowers, hoping for a fresh start so they can water their tree together. Chloe instead takes his flowers and dumps them in the trash can.

Brady and Nicole go to work at Basic Black where they find a big arrangement of roses. Brady guesses it’s Philip’s latest grand gesture to Chloe but Nicole finds that they are actually for her from EJ.

Johnny enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion where EJ greets him. EJ remarks that no investment is more important than his. Johnny questions EJ going from laughing at his idea of making a movie to not only investing but insisting on playing John Black. EJ claims he’s just been bitten by the acting bug but Johnny guesses that EJ wants to stick it to Chad.

Chad and Abigail wake up in bed together and kiss.

Abigail and Rafe get up to find Gabi has made breakfast. Gabi gives Ava her coffee the way she likes it. Rafe jokingly questions who she is and what she has done with his sister.

Chad knows that just because they spent the night together, it doesn’t mean everything is resolved but he hopes she feels as good as he does about it. Abigail talks about them reading the script really getting to her. Abigail states that Chad being in her bed and in her life is exactly where she wants him to be as they continue kissing. They say I love you to each other. Abigail brings up Chad making a great John Black and asks again if he meant it when he said he was interested in the role. Chad confirms that he did. Abigail reminds him that EJ threatened to make trouble for him at DiMera if he took on this project. Chad says to let him try because he’s not afraid of EJ.

EJ asks Johnny what Chad has to do with him playing John Black. Johnny says it would get under Chad’s skin to have love scenes with Abigail as Marlena. EJ calls it motivation while Johnny tells him to be honest that the only reason he’s even interested in the project is because there’s something in it for him in messing with Chad. EJ remarks that he could take his money and walk if his intentions aren’t pure enough for him. Johnny argues that Abigail and Chad would freak out and says if they both walk out, he’ll lose his leading lady and an investor. EJ says they won’t let them quit then. Johnny questions what the alternative is. EJ opens his briefcase and presents Johnny with contracts, noting that once Chad and Abigail sign and are locked in, then he can deliver the bad news.

Brady remarks that EJ must be overcompensating and asks what the card says. Nicole reads that EJ thanks her for a lovely evening and hopes they can do it again soon. Brady asks if she’s falling for the act, reminding her that he treated her like garbage when they were married. Nicole calls that a long time ago. Brady says that’s irrelevant and insists that EJ is trying to suck her back in to a bad situation, so he can’t believe she’s going to fall for it. Nicole tells Brady to shut up.

Philip asks Chloe to hear him out. Chloe asks how many times she’s supposed to accept the same apology from him. Chloe reminds him that their tree was a symbol of him fixing his behavior and she started to believe they could have a real chance together but it could never work out like this. Philip admits he was a jealous idiot. Chloe says that doesn’t change anything and remarks that if the tree means that much to him, he can go water it herself. Chloe then storms out of the room. Jake walks in and remarks that it looks like Chloe is pretty angry with Philip, which makes two of them.

Rafe questions this being real. Gabi talks about Ava wanting to make peace. Rafe asks what’s going on. Gabi claims that she just realized they were right about living together in peace. Rafe agrees and hopes it’s the start of a better relationship between Gabi and Ava because that would make life a lot easier for them. Rafe mentions promising the guys in the squad room that he would bring them Sweet Bits so he has to go, but says they will celebrate this truce tonight with Jake. Gabi says she can’t wait as Rafe then exits. Gabi then calls Ava a lying hag and accuses her of giving Philip the dirt on Jake. Ava claims not to know what she’s talking about. Gabi brings up the file on Jake’s past in the mob and asks if she thought she wouldn’t figure it out. Ava claims it wasn’t her. Gabi says trying to blackmail her in to signing over Gabi Chic has her stink all over it. Ava then asks what she’s going to do about it.

Jake questions Philip using his past to blackmail Gabi to sign her company over to him and says it won’t work since he didn’t kill Jed Zanetti, Carmine did. Philip responds that it would be Jake’s word against Carmine’s so he can go get ready for court. Philip says it doesn’t change the fact that Jake is nothing but a thug. Jake calls him a spoiled rich kid who is so desperate to feel powerful that he’ll fire Gabi from her own company. Jake says if he wants to fire someone, fire him. Philip agrees and fires Jake.

Johnny questions EJ wanting him to lock Chad in as an investor before announcing that EJ is playing Abigail’s romantic lead. EJ calls it good business while Johnny calls it underhanded. EJ says if he doesn’t like his deal, he can find another investor. Johnny argues that EJ knows there’s no one else and he’s not going to make the movie unless Lucas, Chad, and EJ invest. EJ asks if they have a deal then. Chad and Abigail walk in. EJ says they were just discussing the movie so they are right on time as he took the time to draw up contracts on Johnny’s behalf. Chad questions EJ helping Johnny after all the crap he gave him about his movie. EJ explains that Roman had a change of heart and pulled out. EJ claims that after witnessing his son’s immense dedication to the project, he felt compelled to help him out, so he’s now a full investor along with Lucas and Chad and couldn’t be more excited. Chad asks if this is true. Johnny acknowledges needing all the help he can get. Johnny gives Abigail the contract to look over. Abigail mentions not doing it for the money as he’s family and there’s nothing she and Chad want more than to help make his project a reality.

Nicole appreciates Brady’s concern but questions him giving relationship advice after he messed up his chances with Chloe. Brady argues that he didn’t mess up his chances with Chloe, he just waited too long to express how he felt about her and Philip beat him to the punch. Nicole points out that would not have happened if he listened to her, so she’s not inclined to take his advice. Brady tells her to do whatever she wants with EJ and promises not to say another word about it. Brady points out that he hasn’t said anything about Chloe and Philip and he gives his blessing to them. Chloe walks in and remarks that she doesn’t need his blessing.

Jake tells Philip that he doesn’t give a damn if he fires him. Philip remarks that it doesn’t look good on Titan to have a murderous thug employed. Jake brings up Philip laundering money for Ava and now judging him. Jake adds that he got himself out of the mob while Philip needed his dad’s help. Philip reminds Jake that only one of them is facing serious jail time, but there’s a very simple solution. Jake tells him to go to Hell. Philip argues that if Gabi signs over Gabi Chic then Jake stays a free man.

Gabi tells Ava that she will never surrender Gabi Chic to Philip, especially when Jake is innocent. Ava questions Jake telling her that. Gabi says she believes him. Ava asks if it really matters since Jake had no problem helping dispose of Jed Zanetti’s body, so killer or not, he’s going to do some prison time for that. Gabi doesn’t get it since this is between her and Philip and asks what is in it for Ava. Ava explains that for months, Gabi has done nothing but try to break up her and Rafe, so when Philip needed a hand, she decided to show Gabi what it feels like when someone tries to take away something you love. Gabi responds that she’ll never take Jake away from her. Ava says she’s talking about what Gabi really loves, her company that she grew. Ava tells her to imagine Gabi Chic rising from the ashes as Ava Chic.

Abigail looks over her contract and says everything looks to be in order. Johnny asks if they shall make it official. Abigail can’t wait to get started. EJ shows Chad that he also drew up contracts for them and Lucas as producers. EJ explains that they all invest the same amount of money and will share the profits if the movie makes money. Chad looks over the contract and agrees to sign it. EJ signs the contract as well. Chad then suggests Johnny have EJ draw up another contract because he wants to play John Black. Abigail acknowledges that Chad was helping her run lines and was pretty wonderful. Johnny questions Chad wanting to play John and says he had no idea. Chad informs him that he told EJ, so he questions EJ not mentioning it. EJ claims he didn’t think it was his news to deliver. Johnny says he’s sure Chad would be great but EJ mentions that he already has a contract for the role of John Black. Chad asks to sign it but EJ reveals that he already signed it, so he will be playing John Black opposite Abigail. Chad questions what EJ is trying to pull. EJ thought he’d be pleased that he’s finally giving his son the support. Chad complains that EJ is doing this to screw with him. EJ argues that it’s always about him. Abigail says this is so wrong and he knows it. EJ is sorry that she doesn’t like it but there’s nothing they can do. Chad tells Johnny that EJ isn’t doing this to support what’s best for him and suggests he rip up EJ’s contract to solve the problem.

Nicole runs in to Rafe outside the Brady Pub. Rafe mentions bringing donuts to the police station. Nicole says she’s on her way to the bakery too but Rafe says he cleaned them out. Rafe offers to spare a donut for a friend and suggests they sit together. Nicole reminds him of their agreement. Rafe says they don’t have to make it a whole thing. Nicole jokes about never turning down a donut and admits she’s in no rush to get back to the office.

Chloe tells Brady about Philip seeing them together at the river, hugging in front of their tree, so he went ballistic. Brady talks about how they were there with his daughter and they were only there to water their tree. Chloe tells him that she explained how Brady finally accepted she and Philip were a couple and he was going to respect that, but Philip didn’t believe it was innocent and then Maggie came in so she left. Chloe declares that she and Philip are now barely speaking.

Jake tells Philip that he’s not going to prison and Gabi’s not signing her company over. Philip guesses he hasn’t been paying attention. Philip explains that he knows they’ve been scheming for weeks to get him fired from Titan so they could take over. Philip says they key logger move wasn’t too bright. Jake argues that he has no proof. Philip says that he does have proof that Jake was involved in a murder in Philly. Jake questions him going low enough to use it. Philip responds that Gabi started this, so he’s just fighting back.

Gabi argues that there is no chance in Hell that she’d give her company to Philip so that Ava can run it. Ava asks if she’d rather send Jake to prison for 20 years. Gabi argues that he’s not going to prison. Ava tells her that she can’t have it both ways, it’s either her business or her man. Gabi remarks that the only person who should be worried about losing their man is Ava, as she questions what she thinks Rafe is going to do when he finds out she’s trying to steal her company.

Chloe understands that seeing her in Brady’s arms could upset Philip, but she doesn’t understand why he wanted to play a stupid game by asking her to go water their tree together, knowing that she just did. Chloe admits she should’ve just told Philip the truth but she’s so tired of his jealousy and being afraid of setting him off. Brady assures that none of this is her fault. Chloe calls it her mistake to not listen to Brady about Philip in the first place, so he can go ahead and say “I told you so”.

Jake questions Philip turning to Ava for help as fighting back. Philip points out that Jake has a partner in crime, so he asks why he shouldn’t too. Jake argues that he and Gabi are a team while Ava is a viper who isn’t helping him out of the goodness of her heart but because she hates Gabi. Philip says it happens to serve his purpose. Jake questions Philip thinking he’s in control when Ava would feed him to the wolves to save herself and he won’t even see it coming.

Ava tells Gabi that Rafe would be furious if he found out that she helped Philip steal Gabi’s company, but he isn’t going to find out, because if she goes running to Rafe then she’ll have to tell him that Jake was involved in a murder that he helped over up. Ava asks what the police commissioner will say about that. Gabi asks if she thinks Rafe won’t be suspicious of Ava suddenly running her company. Ava says not if Gabi tells him that running the company no longer sparked joy. Gabi says Rafe will never believe that. Ava tells her to make him believe it by telling him that she wants to focus on her life with Jake. Ava suggests Gabi jump on a plane and move in with her daughter. Gabi warns her to shut up about her daughter. Ava tells Gabi that the reason doesn’t matter as long as she signs Gabi Chic over to Philip and then he will need someone to run it and hire her. Ava thinks Rafe will be relieved knowing that someone close to the family is running Gabi Chic. Gabi remarks that she doesn’t know Rafe as well as she thinks then.

Rafe and Ava have donuts together. Nicole is still shocked that Julie turned over the recipe to Sweet Bits. Rafe mentions preferring the atmosphere at Sweet Bits lately. Nicole acknowledges the other night at Julie’s Place being awkward. Rafe hopes she and EJ didn’t leave early because of he and Ava. Nicole admits it was because of him as she’s trying to stick to their agreement to keep their distance. Nicole jokes that he got to enjoy a fabulous bottle of wine that EJ ordered. Rafe points out that Ava enjoyed it but he had beer. Rafe questions accepting anything from EJ and still doesn’t understand why she was with EJ but stops and says it’s none of his business and that Nicole already knows how he feels. Rafe questions why Nicole would do anything with EJ after the way he has treated her.

EJ argues that Johnny wouldn’t have hired him unless he thought he would make an excellent John Black. Chad accuses EJ of strong arming him in to this and tells Johnny to do the right thing. Johnny says he’s sorry but the decision has already been made. Abigail argues that Johnny has creative control so he can un make the decision. Johnny points out that he’d lose all the money he needs to make the movie. Chad offers to give him the money but EJ points out that the contracts have been signed so he suggests they all focus on working together to make the best film possible. Abigail calls that impossible. EJ says the show must go on. Johnny tells Abigail that he’s sorry but promises it will be a professional set with no egos. Johnny repeats to Chad that he’s sorry but it was the only way he could get the movie made, so it’s not personal, just business.

Gabi argues that Rafe knows better than anybody how much Gabi Chic means to her, so if she signs it over to Philip, he will know that she has been blackmailed. Gabi calls the idea of Ava running her company ridiculous since she has zero experience. Ava points out that she hired Jake and his resume is not that much different, though he is turning out to be quite the liability. Ava guesses that Gabi just figured out that it’s over, and she’s won.

Philip tells Jake that he’s not naïve about Ava. Jake points out that Philip was under Ava before and came back for more, so he sure is stupid. Philip gets that Ava is dangerous but calls this different. Jake argues that this is the mob and brings up that Jed Zanetti crossed the wrong person so Carmine didn’t hesitate to take him out. Jake warns that if he plays, there’s a price. Philip asks if that’s a threat. Jake tells him to take it however he wants, but reminds him that last time he got mixed up with the mob, Brady took a bullet that had Philip’s name on it but he might not be so lucky next time. Jake then walks out of the room.

Brady tells Chloe that he would never said I told you so and he’s genuinely sorry for what she’s going through. Chloe thanks him for not rubbing it in but guesses he was right all along that Philip is the same jealous jerk he was in high school and no matter what she tells him, he can never get over the fact that she and Brady were once in love. Brady admits that what they had was intense, wonderful, and passionate. Brady says they weren’t just in love, they couldn’t get enough of one another. Brady states that if he was Philip, he might be having a hard time with it all as well.

EJ tells Chad that if he’s still determined to be in the film, perhaps he could play Roman. Abigail holds Chad back from going after him and says that’s exactly what EJ wants. EJ thanks her for maintaining the peace and says he’s very much looking forward to working with her. Abigail wishes she could say the same but says she will do her best to give a good performance but it just got a lot more difficult. EJ brings up that they’ve had their own special chemistry which they will no doubt channel in to winning performances as Salem’s star-crossed lovers.

Nicole tells Rafe that EJ is her boss, so she can’t just say no to his invitation. Rafe argues that it wasn’t a business dinner. Nicole then admits it was a date and maybe she had suppressed memories of how EJ treated her in the past, but their marriages imploded and they are both alone so maybe this was her way of getting past the misery to feel attractive and alive again. Rafe argues that Nicole can do so much better than EJ. Nicole agrees and remarks that if she had it her way, she would’ve gone to dinner with Rafe instead.

EJ says he better get to learning his lines as he wouldn’t want to let down his leading lady, especially for the conference room scene. EJ suggests method acting and laughs as he then exits the room. Chad questions Johnny knowing what EJ was up to and letting them sign the contracts. Johnny argues that he didn’t know Chad wanted to play John. Chad shouts that this is not what it’s about as Johnny scammed them in to signing the contracts, so he could get what he wanted, integrity be damned. Chad remarks that EJ would be proud. Johnny says he has to finish casting the rest of his movie and walks out. Chad calls it unbelievable. Abigail suggests not being so hard on Johnny. Chad says he’ll try to remember that when EJ is taking her on the conference table. Abigail says maybe it won’t get that far. Abigail brings up that EJ threatened to tell Mr. Shin that Chad was too distracted by side projects to get him ousted, so he can flip it on him and convince Mr. Shin that EJ is incapable of properly running DiMera because he has a side gig of his own, so maybe it will scare him out of doing the movie. Chad doubts that EJ will quit when he wants something and he wants to come between them. Abigail says that EJ will be disappointed then because Chad is the man that she loves and not EJ or anybody can come between them. Abigail kisses Chad and they hug.

Chloe is sorry to lay all of this on Brady yet again. Brady says no apology is necessary and he admits he’s egged Philip on more than once. Brady offers to try talking to him again to make him understand that nothing is going on between them but Chloe worries that would just make things worse. Brady wants her to tell him if there’s anything he can do as he doesn’t like seeing her unhappy because it makes him unhappy. Chloe holds back tears and says she’ll be okay when she calms down which Brady has helped her do so much already. Brady assures that he’s always here for her. Chloe says that means so much to her as Brady hugs her. Philip then walks in to the office and sees them hugging again.

Jake walks outside with a paper bag and then pulls a gun from the bag.

Rafe questions Nicole saying she’d rather have dinner with him. Nicole admits she misses their friendship but they have an agreement to keep their distance because he’s with Ava, so she’s going to honor that agreement.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Victoria: How dare you? How dare you bring that horrible man here?

Billy: Look, let me explain for a second, victoria Victoria: there is absolutely nothing that you can say that would justify you trying to hurt me this way.

Billy: Okay, let me explain, okay? Obviously gaines said something to you that got you very upset, and this is not the way I wanted you to find out about his past.

Victoria: I didn’t talk to gaines. And I don’t need to talk to gaines because I know the whole story.

Billy: I highly doubt that.

Ashland: I told her everything about the real ashland locke’s death, the fraudulent inheritance, all of it.

Victoria: This is exactly what you were hoping for — to find some deep, dark secret that was just gonna blow up my entire relationship.

Lily: I think billy just wanted you to know what you were getting into.

Victoria: Oh, please give me a break. If that were true, then you would be relieved right now that ashland confided in me. But look at you. You’re a shattered mess because you’re not the one that got to drop this bomb.

Billy: No, that’s not true, vick.

Victoria: You know how important this wedding is to me. Ashland’s in the middle of chemo. He is fighting so hard to make this a beautiful ceremony for me so that we can have cherished memories for the rest of our lives, billy. And you know what? You’re fighting to take it away. Why can you just not accept that I’ve moved on? For the love of god, just

[Sighs] Stop harassing us. And let me go!

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

[ Laughter ]

Summer: Oh, it is the perfect autumn night tonight.

Kyle: Oh, it sure is.

Phyllis: We seem to have misplaced your dad.

Kyle: Oh, he’s with harrison. They’ve lined up all the toy soldiers in his room, and there’s an epic battle going on now.

Nick: I bet the two of them are having more fun than the rest of us combined.

Noah: I think you’re probably right. I could tell in milan how much jack loves that kid.

Summer: Oh, yeah. No, he totally loves being a grandpa.

Phyllis: You’ve bonded with harrison, too.

Summer: Oh, my gosh, yes. No, he is such a doll. Honestly, whatever fears I had about being a stepmom have just completely gone away.

Phyllis: That’s great.

Kyle: Yeah, summer’s a natural at this whole parenting thing.

Summer: Oh, well, harrison’s so sweet, he makes it easy. I honestly cannot even imagine our life without him now.

Noah: No one’s worried about you not having room in your life for harrison. We’re more worried about you not having room in your closet for all the swag you’re bringing home from marchetti.

Summer: Oh! No, okay, I have a simple solution to that problem. See, I wear them once, and then I just give them away.

Noah: Wait. Seriously?

Summer: Oh, my gosh, no! No, I wouldn’t do that. You are so gullible.

Kyle: He’s right, though. We need to build more closets for all of our shoes.

Summer: You are lying.

Kyle: Mnh, it’s the truth.

Summer: No.

[ Laughter ]

Phyllis: Wait a second. Shoes are very, very important. They add to an outfit. Don’t discount shoes. Come on.

Summer: Yeah.

Phyllis: You know, especially when you work at marchetti.

Summer: Thank you. Thank you. See? There.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ]

Summer: And, actually, speaking of closets being full, my glass is not full, so, um…

Kyle: Oh, um, me?

Summer: Yeah.

Kyle: Well, I have a solution for that.

Summer: Great, great.

[ Chuckles ]

Noah: Oh, wait for me.

Phyllis: You’re very quiet. Are you okay?

Nick: All good. Nothing to worry about.

Sally: [ Exhales sharply ] Wow, I was so confident the whole way over here. Now…I’m a little nervous.

Adam: What’s your next move?

Sally: [ Sighs ] I guess just…corner victoria somewhere and convince her to try on the dress.

Adam: You might want to rethink that. Victoria sees you first, that’s what she’s gonna react to, and you’re never gonna get to unzip that garment bag.

Sally: Well, I wish I had a friend I could persuade to make the pitch for me.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Maybe there’s another way to go about this.

Sally: Hey, if you have an idea, I’m all ears.

Adam: Come on. Let’s go. Ordinary tissues burn when theo blows.

Billy: I hope you’re not letting the things victoria said get to you. There is nothing wrong with us trying to uncover the truth.

Lily: You — not “us.” And you took it a step way too far by bringing gaines here, to what victoria wanted to be a joyous, stress-free event.

Billy: Well, ashland kind of attacked my credibility. So I felt like I needed gaines here to tell victoria the truth because she wasn’t gonna believe it coming from me.

Lily: Because you thought ashland would lie, and you were wrong about him. Just admit it.

Billy: Yeah, I admit that i did not expect him to come clean about the multiple crimes that he has committed.

Lily: You did the same thing with me when we fell in love. You told me everything that you had done that you were ashamed of. So maybe not everything ashland does is cold and calculated. Maybe he actually loves her and what they have is real. But you don’t like hearing me say that, do you?

Elena: So, we heard you’re performing at the ceremony.

Tessa: Yes! I am so excited. Ah, this place — I mean, it blows me away. Everywhere you look, it’s just more beautiful.

Nate: Mm. You will love the view from the terrace in the morning.

Tessa: I’m so excited.

Nate: So, where’s mariah?

Elena: Yeah. Is she resting after the flight?

Tessa: Well, mariah’s not here. She decided not to come.

Kevin: Your timing is perfect. I was due for a break, and i believe you’ve heard me talk about how awful the coffee is at the station.

Mariah: Mm-hmm. In grisly detail.

Kevin: [ Chuckles ] Anyway, it’s gonna be great to catch up.

Mariah: Definitely.

Kevin: So, how’s everything going being back at work?

Mariah: Uh, it’s good, you know? I was a little nervous about interacting with a lot of people again, but everybody at jabot has been amazing about the whole situation. It almost feels like normal.

Kevin: That’s awesome. Well, it’s too bad you couldn’t take off a few more days to go to italy with tessa.

Mariah: Well, I could have. I planned to, actually, but then the baby got sick.

Kevin: Oh, no. Poor guy. Is he gonna be okay?

Mariah: Yeah. It’s nothing serious. I mean, it’s just a cold.

Kevin: Oh. Well, then why couldn’t you go with tessa?

Kyle: Hmm?

Summer: [ Chuckling ] No, i can’t do that. Hey! How’d the battle go?

Jack: The good guys won.

Kyle: Hurrah!

Jack: Harrison’s yawning like crazy, but he insists on a story before he goes to sleep.

Summer: Ah. Well, sounds like you’re being paged, daddy.

Kyle: Come with me?

Summer: Yeah, sure.

Kyle: Alright. We’ll be back.

Jack: See you around.

Noah: Any progress with aunt victoria? Where do thing stand? It seemed like it was a little less tense between you two earlier.

Nick: Yeah. Decided to stick around, do what she asked me to do, which is just give her some space. Hopefully she cools off.

Phyllis: With whatever’s going on with her, I think it has very little to do with you. You know, there’s a million things going on. You know, the wedding, ashland’s health, the newman/locke scenario. I mean, it’s just kind of landing on you, you know?

Nick: Yeah. Well, let’s just try and get through it on our best behavior.

Phyllis: And by “let’s,” you mean me, right? Why wouldn’t I be on my best behavior?

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Right.

Noah: I wonder where ashland and aunt victoria are.

Phyllis: Yeah. We haven’t seen them in a while.

[ Clears throat ]

Victoria: I was so supportive of billy when he moved in with lily.

[ Sighs ] I even bought him a damn houseplant. And this is how he reacts when i want to move on with my life.

Ashland: Sweetheart, you know my theory. Billy is still in love with you.

Victoria: Please don’t go there.

Ashland: What else could this be about?

Victoria: His enormous ego. Look, even if you’re right, what exactly does he expect to accomplish with this stunt? I’m telling you, I will never trust that man again.

Ashland: Billy is not our problem right now. Gaines is. I suspect that his end game is just to humiliate me publicly to feel like he’s had the last laugh.

Victoria: Well, we need to find them, and we need to have security throw them out.

Ashland: Okay, okay. Easy, easy. Leave that up to me, okay?

[ Door opens and closes ] (Drill sergeant) what a pleasant morning. It’s warm, but not too warm.

Mariah: Abby was talking about weaning dominic while i was gone, and I just thought that it was too soon, you know, especially since he wasn’t feeling well. And breast milk is supposed to be amazing for the baby’s immune system. I mean, I know he would have been fine either way.

Kevin: Well, it makes perfect sense that you would feel protective of him.

Mariah: Thank you for understanding.

Kevin: Come on, mariah. Of course. I have a baby, you know? Your whole perspective changes. Nothing’s more important than making sure they have everything they need.

Mariah: But dominic isn’t my baby.

Kevin: No, but you went through a lot together, which i can relate to, given everything I went through as a kid.

Mariah: I remember the stories.

Kevin: I know what it’s like to be locked in a small space for a very long period of time. And I know it’s not the same circumstances, and I don’t mean to pry, but if it would help you to talk about it…

Mariah: I’m doing okay with that aspect of it, you know, the trauma. I — I get a little jumpy if i hear footsteps behind me, and I don’t like too much quiet or being alone for too long. But I’m doing okay, you know? I can function.

Kevin: I’m glad to hear that.

Mariah: But I — I want to hear about you. How are bella and miles doing?

Kevin: [ Sighs ] You want me to brag about my kids?

Mariah: Yes.

Kevin: I’m in.

Mariah: [ Laughs ]

Kevin: Okay.

Billy: [ Sighs ] I don’t have a hidden agenda. I know victoria’s trying to push that because she’s in denial about how serious ashland’s crimes are.

Lily: Maybe it’s because they happened 40 years ago and she doesn’t think they’re relevant to the person she knows now.

Billy: Or maybe there’s another reason why she’s trying to protect him. Maybe it has to do with the merger. It’s the biggest accomplishment of her professional life, and she doesn’t want it to fall apart. I wouldn’t put it past her father pressuring her into it, either.

Lily: Billy, it does not matter why victoria is standing by ashland. She is, okay? So, your big plan to expose him has backfired.

Billy: Well, it might look that way on the surface. You saw her. You saw how defensive she was. Ashland’s crimes bother her, and they should because the guy is a liar and a criminal.

Lily: Billy, I need you to listen to me, okay? The wedding is happening tomorrow, whether you like it or not. And that is victoria’s choice to make.

Billy: So, what do you want me to do? You want me to just drop it, let her make a mistake?

Lily: Honestly, I think that maybe we shouldn’t even be here.

Nikki: Here’s someone you will want to meet. Leslie brooks, tessa porter.

Tessa: Oh, my gosh, hi!

Leslie: Oh, it’s so great to meet you!

Tessa: Yes, it’s so great to meet you in person finally. Oh, we’ve been video-chatting about what song we’re gonna do at the ceremony, yeah.

Victor: I can hardly wait.

Leslie: I’m so looking forward to performing with you.

Tessa: Oh, trust me — I am the one who’s excited.

Nikki: Now, I know you’ve been traveling all day and are very tired, but if the two of you want to go over some songs and get comfortable with each other, you’re more than welcome.

Leslie: Excellent. Do you know any standards?

Tessa: Jazz? Absolutely.

Leslie: [ Chuckles ] And I do take requests.

Nikki: Oh, well, now that you mention it, I might have a few favorites to suggest.

Victor: There you go.

[ Sighs ]

Adam: Hey, pop.

Victor: Hey, my boy! So glad you came. My goodness. Adam. Well, look at this. The three generations together. Let’s have a drink. Come on. Sit down.

Adam: Sure, dad. Noah. Oh, great job on the, uh, newman media branding package, by the way.

Noah: How’s it going, adam?

Adam: Fine. You?

Noah: Doing okay. Thanks for asking.

Victor: You know, I really appreciate that you all made the effort to come here and join us. And I really appreciate the fact that you’re trying to get along, you know?

Adam: Eh, nick — he’s not that bad.

Nick: I guess I can deal with him.

[ “Finally” plays ]

Your love gets in the way

of the bad things people say

my feet were broken and bleedin’

you washed my sins away

my heart needed dreamin’

finally

I found somethin’ strong and steady

I know I’m ready

for someone like you

finally

I’m runnin’ to someone great

who wants me to feel safe

finally

this affair

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Damn you, billy.

Tessa: Is definitely worth keepin’

Victoria: I am not gonna let you ruin this night for me.

Tessa: Dancin’ like little kids

up on the ceiling

who knows where we are going

the road might be steep ahead

but you’ll always have my hand

finally

I found somethin’ strong and steady

I know I’m ready for someone like you

finally

I’m runnin’ to someone great

who wants me to feel safe

finally

finally what can I du with less asthma?

Victoria: That’s odd.

[ Door closes ]

Sally: [ Sighs heavily ]

Lily: I mean, everyone is doing their best to cheer on ashland and victoria, and if we can’t join them, we shouldn’t be here. You know, the kids can fly home with victor and nikki.

Billy: That’s not necessary. Look, I am not going to apologize for trying to uncover the truth. And I really don’t think ashland deserves a bunch of credit because he came clean after feeling the pressure of somebody investigating him.

Lily: Then take all the credit, billy. It doesn’t change anything. She’s still gonna marry ashland tomorrow.

Billy: So, that’s it? Okay. I won’t intervene. I’ll find gaines and send him on his way.

Lily: Simple as that, huh?

Billy: No, honestly, it’s not gonna be that simple. Gaines has wanted his revenge on ashland for a very long time. So I’m gonna throw some more money at him and give him a first-class ticket out of here.

Lily: And what about the wedding?

Billy: I think we should go. The most important thing right now is johnny and katie see that their parents support each other. And victoria is gonna need some help when ashland’s health starts to deteriorate. And I would like her to know that she can count on me.

Lily: That’s quite an attitude shift. I’m impressed.

Billy: I hope you realize this whole time I was just trying to do the right thing. Victoria has been hurt a lot in her life, mostly by me.

Lily: I know it’s your way of making amends, in your own antagonistic way.

Billy: I hope you are not questioning my commitment to you. I love you. Which is another reason why we should go to that wedding — so you can see with your own eyes that I am not hung up on my ex. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Billy, I know that you’re a passionate man. And I know that you’ll go to extremes to take care of the people that you love. And even though it’s exhausting, it’s also very endearing.

Billy: I was hoping you were gonna say something more along the lines of “hot and sexy.”

Lily: Oh, well, I mean, that goes without saying.

[ Chuckles ]

Adam: Enjoying your evening?

Elena: Yeah. Very much so. You?

Adam: Ah. What’s not to like, right?

Nate: One of the loveliest homes I’ve ever seen, complete with a private concert by a world-renowned artist? There’s not a lot that can top it.

Elena: Hey, did you ever get in touch with billy after you guys missed each other at society?

Adam: Uh, I ended up tracking him down before I left genoa city. But the, uh, conversation didn’t go as well as I hoped, so i should probably steer clear of him while we’re here.

Nate: Well, given the size of this place, that shouldn’t be an issue.

Phyllis: Look at this guy. Look — he has the audacity to show up.

Jack: I’m sure victor’s glad he did.

Phyllis: Amazing. Does it bother you at all, what he’s done to his family? Like, at all?

Jack: Wh–

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] I mean, victoria’s fine with him, but she’s treating nick like he’s the gate crasher. Seriously. This family.

[ Sighs ] They drive me crazy. Have I told you how crazy they drive me? Have I ever told you?

Jack: Uh, yeah, once or twice, yeah. Um…let it go. This will be over soon.

Phyllis: Not soon enough.

Nikki: So beautiful.

Tessa: Oh, thank you.

Nikki: Oh, my goodness.

Tessa: Thank you.

Victoria: Thank you so much, both of you, for your serenade together. You sound so beautiful.

Tessa: Oh, thank you.

Nikki: Well, they were just about to grace us with another song.

Leslie: Shall we?

[ “You’re the best thing” plays ]

Tessa: You’re the best thing

that’s happened to me

the key to my heart

you’re the best thing

that’s happened to me

I knew from the start

Victor: Hi, my sweetheart. Hi, my sweetheart.

Tessa: We complement each other

Victor: Everything alright?

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Victor: What?

Tessa: Like sister and brother

like hops and malt

sugar and salt

fall and spring

yang and ying feeling stressed in your skin?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Phyllis: Hey, did you have another run-in with victoria?

Nick: She doesn’t want to deal with me, which is fine. I don’t want to make this situation about myself.

Phyllis: Alright. Well, she’s gonna come around. And she is going to owe you the biggest apology.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I know you don’t like my sister, but it’s not helping when you’re exploiting this.

Phyllis: Okay, well, I’m not exploiting anything. That’s not what I’m doing. I’m sympathizing with you.

Nick: I don’t see it like that.

Phyllis: Oh. Alright.

Jack: Hey. Let it roll off your back. Don’t take that personally. He’s upset right now.

Phyllis: That’s o– doesn’t make it any better.

Kevin: Oh, I mean, thank god for esther, right? Two kids, two jobs. I don’t know how we would make it work without her. And now that miles is walking, I mean, look out, world.

Mariah: Yeah, yeah, I guess he is that age, which means i missed his first birthday. Sorry.

Kevin: You don’t have to apologize. “A,” you were otherwise occupied, and, “b,” miles is very easygoing. He doesn’t hold grudges. You know, besides, birthday parties for babies are kind of pointless. They have no idea what’s going on. It’s really just all about the parents. So, my advice — if you and tessa decide to have kids, don’t even invite the babies. They just get in the way.

Mariah: And thank you for not sneaking in a “party-poopers” pun — because I could see it, and it was just right there.

Kevin: It was really hard. But I’m a classy guy.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Mariah: Oh. Hey! Tessa! Yeah. Hi. What time is it in europe? Oh, my gosh.

Tessa: It’s pretty late.

Mariah: How is everything going? Are you — are you jet-lagged? Are you feeling okay?

Tessa: Well, I, uh, slept on the plane, and, boy, am I glad that I did because this place is just so over the top. And I mean that in the best way. It’s just like — it’s something out of a magazine. Everyone’s, um, asking about you and sending their love. Oh, and I got to meet leslie brooks. Oh, she is so cool and funny. We got to rehearse, and she’s just really down to earth, and I’m just —

Mariah: Tessa, all of that, uh, sounds amazing, and I wish i could talk right now, but, um, I barely slept last night and I’m in zombie mode and buried in work and, um — we’ll catch up later, okay?

Tessa: Oh, yeah. Sure. Of course. I love you.

Mariah: Me too. Bye.

[ Mug thuds ]

Noah: Hi.

Tessa: Well, hi yourself.

Noah: You know, until i walked in before and saw you, I — I don’t think I realized how much I’ve missed you.

Sally: Okay. Mission accomplished. Or, at least, the first phase. Now we just wait and see how the bride reacts.

Adam: I really hope you are managing your expectations.

Sally: I designed that dress specifically to suit victoria’s taste and figure, so I have to believe that she’s gonna love it, at which point I will move in and make my final sales pitch.

Adam: You know, I really do hope this works out for you, sally.

Sally: Everything’s riding on this.

Summer: Oh, my gosh, you should have seen it. When I came back with water for harrison, the butler was in there trying to teach him how to pronounce “arrivederci,” and harrison kept saying “bless you,” thinking that he was sneezing every time.

Kyle: [ Laughing ] Please tell me you got it on video.

Summer: No, I didn’t, and i am kicking myself ’cause it was so cute. Oh, gosh.

Adam: Congratulations. How was the wedding?

Summer: [ Scoffs ] What is she doing here?

Adam: Sally’s my date. On the outside, I looked fine.

Jack: Wait. Adam actually said that sally is here as his date?

Summer: Mm-hmm. It’s a bit tacky, if you ask me.

Phyllis: Yeah, well, it is tacky, but, you know, it’s adam. He showed up with sally on his arm to the newman media launch party. Why would he not do the same here? Of course he brought her.

Kyle: Think victoria knew he was planning this?

Jack: No, I don’t think so.

Summer: You know, I doubt grandpa knew, either, because there’s no way he would want her here after the way that she treated me.

Kyle: If it’s really bugging you that much, just say the word. I’m sure victor will have her bounced.

Phyllis: Yeah, sounds like a plan. Let’s do that.

Summer: That woman is not worth the attention that we’ve already given her, so let’s not give sally the satisfaction of knowing that she’s gotten under our skin, okay?

Jack: I think your daughter has the right idea. You should do the same thing. Stay away from sally and any ice buckets you happen to see.

Phyllis: Oh, you know what? I think you have that the other way around. Sally should stay away from me.

Adam: You really enjoy riling people up, don’t you?

Sally: Everyone needs a hobby. Still, probably would be a good time for me to slip away to my room. Hopefully if your family decides to give me the boot, they won’t roust me out of bed to do it.

Adam: Mm. Well, I wouldn’t sweat it. My father and victoria have more important things to worry about.

Sally: I’m sure you’re right. Anyway, good night. Sleep well.

Adam: You too.

Victor: Yes, ashland?

Ashland: [ Whispering indistinctly ]

Kevin: Should we pretend i didn’t just hear you blowing off your girlfriend? Or do you want to talk about it? Or do you want to pretend that i didn’t even ask that question?

Mariah: It’s fine. Thank you for being willing to listen. And maybe someday I will take you up on that. But for now, I really — I just want to hear about the kids. Is bella still taking dance lessons?

Kevin: Yes. She just had a recital. Mad hatter’s tea party. All of these kids in in these elaborately adorable costumes.

Mariah: What was she dressed as?

Kevin: She was the dormouse! You know, cute pink nose and whiskers.

[ Laughing ] But, oh, there was this other little girl who was dressed as a sugar cube.

Mariah: [ Laughing ] Okay. What’s so funny?

Kevin: No, I mean, she was, like, this giant sugar cube, okay, with this tiny little girl inside. So, she’s dancing and all of a sudden she loses her balance and she falls onto her back, okay? So, all the other kids still keep dancing, and this girl is, like, flailing her arms and legs. Oh, my gosh, we laughed.

[ Both laugh ]

Tessa: So… how’s london? How’s the photography going?

Noah: It’s really well, actually. It’s almost more work than I can handle.

Tessa: Noah, that’s great.

Noah: Yeah. And I got three corporate commissions waiting for me when I get back.

Tessa: Well, here you are, making art for a living, and I’m singing for a living. I mean, how crazy is that? We can both say that we’re living the dream without being ironic.

Noah: Yeah, I hadn’t really thought about it that way, but you’re right. Although I think you may have been a little bit smarter than me in choosing which dream to pursue.

Tessa: Why would you say that? I thought you loved art.

Noah: No, I do, and I’m really happy to be in a field where I can be creative, but… you know, when people pay to hear you sing, it’s because they love your music. You know, they feel it in their soul. The art world is just… it’s just different.

Tessa: Well, how?

Noah: You know, a lot of it comes down to investment value. So there are people who buy my pieces because they intend to flip it, you know, like it’s a condo in west palm beach.

Tessa: Well, that sounds pretty cynical.

Noah: I understand the mentality. I come from a business background, but, yeah, it can be a little discouraging. You know, one time I actually had a client who offered to pay me to produce less. That way, the value in the pieces he already owned would go up. Supply and demand.

[ Both laugh ]

Tessa: Wow. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. That’s just really nuts.

Noah: It’s the nature of the beast, I guess.

Tessa: Well, if it makes you feel better, I don’t think a music career would be very different for you.

Noah: Oh, you mean people would pay me not to sing?

Tessa: [ Laughing ] No, no, that’s not what I meant.

Noah: No, I know. I know. Music’s commercial, too.

Tessa: Yes.

Noah: I’m just giving you a hard time.

Tessa: Yeah, you’re good at that.

Noah: But is it a career track? That’s the real question.

Tessa: Uh…stand-up comic? Working the club circuit? Well, I do think you have to be funny to do that, and you’re painfully serious, like, all of the time.

Noah: Yeah, you know, borderline boring.

Tessa: Ugh. A real snore.

[ Both laugh ]

Victor: I’m very happy to hear that victoria put billy boy in his place. Now we have to be concerned about gaines.

Ashland: It’s not gonna be that easy to get rid of him. It’s not the money at this point. He’s got a score to settle.

Victor: I don’t want you to worry about that. I’ll take care of it, okay?

Ashland: Look, even if we can keep gaines away from the wedding, he can still do damage to newman/locke, to the firm’s reputation.

Victor: It’s not gonna happen. Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

Elena: I know it’s late, but it’s heavenly out here.

Nate: Mmm.

Elena: And tomorrow it’s gonna be hectic and full of people.

Nate: Mm.

Elena: And you’re gonna be busy helping ashland. But tonight you’re all mine.

Nate: Mmm. I like the sound of that.

[ Soft, romantic piano music plays ]

Elena: Just when you thought it couldn’t get better.

Nate: It still can.

Elena: Mmm.

Lily: We never made it to the party.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] You distracted me.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, we definitely had more fun up here.

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Lily: And now we can enjoy the festivities. So I’m glad we didn’t leave.

Billy: ‘Cause of the beautiful music?

Lily: Well, I mean, it doesn’t suck.

[ Both chuckle ]

Lily: But seriously, I’m really happy that you’re able to see where you’ve gotten off track. I really admire your ability to course-correct. Not everyone can do that.

Billy: Is there anything else you admire about me?

Lily: [ Whispering indistinctly ]

Billy: I’ll take it.

Phyllis: Oh, good night, you two.

Elena: Night, night.

Nate: We’ll see you in the morning.

Phyllis: Okay. Is this seat reserved, or can anybody sit here?

Nick: I’m sorry I snapped at you. None of this is your fault.

Phyllis: That’s for sure. You know, it’s hard for me to hang out with your family. They don’t like me or trust me, and I feel the same way about them. But I do this for you. I’m here for you.

Nick: I was out of line. Won’t happen again.

Phyllis: I almost forgive you.

Nick: You gonna make me work for it?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. I am.

Nikki: You haven’t seen victor, have you?

[ Door opens ]

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Where were you?

Ashland: Victor and I briefed the security team, and they are on top of the situation. They will find gaines, and they will remove him.

Victoria: Well, I’m just glad that we found out what billy was up to in time to put a stop to it.

[ Inhales deeply ] I just hope that everything will go smoothly for our wedding.

Ashland: There will be no more interruptions, and that’s a promise. And by this time tomorrow, you and I… will be husband and wife.

Victoria: [ Laughs ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Grunts ] My cousin jason. What’s up? You want in on this? No, I’ll wait till you’re finished. Okay. So, there’s this brand-new theory in economics where the assets and services are divvied up equally among private individuals so that no one consumer has to bear the undue burden of cost. It’s a theory perfected by kindergartners, and it’s called “sharing.” And I realized that that is a concept foreign to you quartermaines. But you’re not really one of them, are you? You’re avoiding my calls, anna, and my texts. I can only assume it’s because you haven’t found peter or my mother. You know, here’s a novel idea — how about you put aside your personal feelings and act like a professional? My mother was abducted, either by someone with ties to peter or peter himself. And that means it is your job — no, it is your duty — to find her.

[ Sighs ] Britt, I really need your help. Dr. Gatlin-holt has crossed the line. Something has to be done about him. You got this, girl.

[ Breathes sharply ] Olivia: This all looks in order. Yep. What am I missing? Nothing. It’s a lease renewal. Yeah, for the crimson offices.

[ Light clattering ] Careful, honey. Oh, he’s okay. Yeah, crimson’s yearly lease renewal is up. And you’re not even going to raise the rent? Why should I? Crimson pays their bills on time. I have no complaints. Um, except that the editor-in-chief kept sonny away from you and his family for — for — what — w-was it nine months? I mean, I know nina says that he was happy. That’s hardly the point. And besides, I don’t buy it. Sonny is a city boy born and bred. He — he might enjoy the countryside for an afternoon, maybe a long weekend, tops. But tending bar and sweeping the floor for nine months? No, I don’t buy it. I’m aware. Yeah. And this is your first chance to get back at her. You’re really not going to take a swing at nina? Are you here on carly’s behalf? Why would you think that? Well, it’s just

crimson’s lease is up. So maybe I thought you were delivering a message from your wife — vacate the premises or else. I mean…

[ Scoffs ] Carly’s business is none of mine. Despite living in the same city, traveling around in the same circles, even sharing a grandchild… I guess I really don’t know you. You’re about to. Is that a threat?

Hi, ava. Hi. Okay, so, I’m gonna have a martini, and I’m going to put it on your tab. You can have a whole pitcher of martinis if you came through for me. Mm. It’s done. I, uh, pulled your divorce papers…

[ Sighs ] …Before they got to the clerk so you and nikolas can live in wedded bliss. And more’s the pity. Wait, weren’t you just fighting for us to save our marriage? Well, that was before I found out that nikolas’ son was stalking you. So, ava, you know, you might want to hang on to those divorce papers. Now, I hate to disappoint you, but nikolas and I destroyed our copies the other night. Well, then, I say goodbye to our business relationship. What? No. Scott, I’ll always need you.

[ Sighs ] I’ll always have… legal problems for you.

[ Chuckles ] Well, you know what? I’m really trying to find liesl. And now, I’ve taken on nina reeves as a client, so I don’t know if I’ve got a lot of time for your little squabbles. Um… nina needs a lawyer? And a bulletproof pantsuit. If you have to ask… …it’s not a threat. I’ll remember that. So, crimson is just humming along, huh? Yeah. I have a great staff. They kept the office running during my…s-sabbatical. So I take it you’re not here to inquire about a subscription. You and I have a few things to discuss. Really? Yeah. I didn’t think you left anything unsaid when we ran into each other at the cemetery. Yeah, uh… yeah, I did, but then you surprised me. How so? You showed up at the quartermaines’. Carly saw you. You were visiting wiley. That didn’t make her happy. Oh, and you think that I’m afraid of carly? I thought you knew me better than that. You know, uh… you’re not going to be happy in port charles for very long. Ar e you telling meto get out of town? Rumor has it you don’t want anything to do with elq at all. You designated all of your voting shares to michael. You don’t participate in any of the family business meetings. You want me to hold the bag for you? No. Okay, clearly chitchat isn’t going to get me anywhere with you, and yet, here I am, willing to hold your bag.

[ Indistinct conversations in distance ] Think of it as an opportunity to suss me out face to face. Who’s gonna give that up? Yes? No? Okay. Anna, [Sighs] Just — just call me whether you have news or not, okay? Leaving me to twist like this is — it’s not only unprofessional — it’s cruel. And that is not your reputation, okay? So please just call me! Oh! Oh, oh! I’m so sorry! Geez! Hi, britt.

[ Clears throat lightly ]

[ Sighs ] Something wrong? No, everything is good. I mean, it’s not, but I know you’re really busy. I don’t want to bother you. No, no, please bother me. I-I could use the distraction. What’s your problem? It’s not my problem. It’s leo’S. These are expired. Oh, okay. I will get rid of those. Thank you so much, leo. Thank you. There we go. Carly, what nina did was some serious old testament-level violation. I mean, you — you are well within your rights to exact your pound of flesh. I’m just trying so hard to not go to war with nina. But she already fired the first shots. Yes, and if I fire back, I make nina out to be the victim. I mean, just imagine carly, the vindictive witch going after the poor woman who just made a mistake. Are you kidding me? Mistake my as…ton-martin. Hey, sonny asked me to lay off. Oh. What, and you’re just prepared to do that? To — to — to renew their lease and not kick nina out of the building? I can’t begin to tell you what I want to do to nina. And, see, that’s what I’m talking about. I know you. What are you planning?

Nina knew sonny was alive all along? Have you been living on the moon? I mean, everybody in this world knows that. I-I just saw sonny the other day. I went to say goodbye to avery when I-I thought I was leaving town, and he didn’t say anything about nina. No, maybe he didn’t want to, you know, distract with everything that’s going on with your stalker and all that…stuff. He didn’t, you know, lay anything more on you, but, you know… aren’t you and nina like buddy buddies? Yeah, we’re friends, but sonny’s not the type to spare my feelings. Nina took a big risk finding sonny in a small-town joint and then keeping quiet and messing with carly. Well, carly can drive otherwise reasonable people to do things they wouldn’t ordinarily do. Yeah, well, I’m kind of sorry that nina got found out. I mean, jason and carly would still be newlyweds. Sonny would be dead and buried, and good guy mike could just live on in his place. I’m sorry. D-did you say “mike”? Yeah. Mike. Schmike. Who cares? It — it — it’s — it’s just a name. Port charles could be a sonny-free place. Let’s move on to a happier topic, okay? Like your new man, and why don’t you tell me the real reason you don’t want him to move here or at least come for a visit? I’m not saying that we don’t have a mob problem here, but the whole thing of, you know, the “godfather with a heart of gold,” we — we can do with– okay, scott, you know what? I gotta — I gotta go. Have as many martinis as you want. Okay? Bye. Oh, ava, hang on. Make sure you tell nina I’m top notch!

[ Sighs ] Sonny: You know what, nina? You can do whatever you want. You want to stay, you want to go — it’s up to you. I don’t need your permission. Okay, fine. But I-I just want to let you know that it may not be comfortable for you here. When has my life ever been comfortable? My mind won’t let me be too comfortable. Now I have carly, michael, and josslyn just waiting in line to tell me exactly how they feel about me. Well, they have every right. I mean, josslyn watched her mother struggle taking care of my business. Michael saw you lying to his face every time you went to visit wiley. And carly, she grieved for me for nine months. I’m not dead. Okay, I get it — I am a pariah. I deserve to be. But I admit that I am not crazy about hearing a litany of my sins every time I leave my house, and I’m even less crazy about starting over. I tried that already. Look where it got me. So you’re gonna s– you’re gonna stay in port — yeah. I’m going to stay where maxie is and james and my grandchild. Then you got to understand the ground rules. What are you planning for nina? This desk is a mess. Honey, that’s not nice.

[ Chuckling ] Oh, you know what? It has been a crazy morning, leo.

[ Sighs ] Yeah, but still, the kid’s got no filter. Where does he get that from? Uh, yeah. But, honey, not everybody keeps every colored pencil and every eraser in its own separate spot. I’m sorry, leo. Usually I’m much more organized. If it wasn’t for me taking up all your time, you would be ready to focus. Come on, honey. We don’t want to be late for dr. Diamond. Leo’s pediatrician. Oh. Is everything okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah, just — just regular kid stuff. Can I have that? No! You know what? It’s pretty, isn’t it?

[ Sighs ] So pretty. And you know what? You can have it. You know why? You cleaned up my desk. So it’s all yours. What do you say, honey? Thank you, aunt carly. You’re welcome. You’re welcome. Yes. Thank you, aunt carly.

[ Laughs ] What are you planning for crimson? Oh, I’m definitely renewing their lease. I’m keeping nina close so I can keep an eye on her. You’re really, really good at this. Wow, seriously. Did you take lessons? Or is it just kind of baked into your dna to beat on things? Wow. I’m asking because it’s not baked into mine, and yet we do share a lot of dna. So, there’s this phenomenon in medicine called “boxer’s knuckles.” You got to look out for that. Have you experienced any swelling around your knuckles?

[ Breathes sharply ] Are you done punching? Can’t concentrate. Right. I mean, I imagine you have quite a bit on your mind. Your new wife’s recently deceased husband alive again… showing up on your wedding night. That must’ve been a crowded honeymoon.

[ Chuckles ] You ever stop talking? Just trying to be supportive. We are cousins, and I thought, at this moment in time, we could both use a f-friendly ear. Yeah, well, you have a lot of friendly ears — your mother, charity, your brother, jonah, your med school mentor. I’m flattered. That’s quite a deep dive to protect the family that you go to great pains to steer clear of. I steer clear of elq, not my family. I had you pegged as a guy who would choose his own family rather than just put up with the one that he was born into. And yet, at this moment in time, I’d imagine you can’t count on the family you chose either, can you? Oh, yes. Um, leo, yes, olivia falconeri’s son. Yeah, he’s my stepbrother. Oh. Are you two close? Uh, well, olivia was going through some stuff with julian — that’s leo’s dad — when he was a baby, and I, um, I took care of him. So since I’ve been back in port charles, we’ve been getting to know each other again. Such a rad little dude.

[ Chuckles ] So what’s the problem? Would what I tell you be covered under doctor-patient confidentiality? I-I know, technically, I’m not your patient. Well, uh, technically, you are. I treated you last spring when valentin brought you in for a sonogram. Okay, good. So, someone in this hospital suggested that leo has a behavioral issue. Now, my father is all about getting it checked out. But olivia — not so much. So there’s a lot of tension in the house right now, just when their marriage was getting back on track. And what sort of behavioral issue is leo having? Autism…or at least on the spectrum. Has he been examined? Was olivia given a reference for a pediatric neurologist? I don’t really know. I-I’m not sure. All I know is austin thinks that leo might be autistic. Dr. Gatlin-holt — he said this? To olivia? Ned? To me. Is that a problem?

[ Scoffs ] I suspect you knew that.

Things must be reallyup in the air with your new wife now that her dead husband is alive again. You got to have patients waiting for you, right? Actually, no. I don’t have to be at G.H. Until later this evening. You want to get a beer? Whatever you want from me, you’re not getting it. You don’t want to be friends? You know, we don’t have to be adversaries. No, we don’T. If you drop your lawsuit against the quartermaines. I would love nothing more than to resolve my conflict with the quartermaines amicably, but… I get nothing from them. Zero. They’ve iced me out. They don’t talk to me. They don’t even relate to me on a person-to-person level. I’m trying to meet a medical obligation with leo, and olivia keeps looking at me like I’m working some kind of an angle. Well, are you? At the risk of repeating myself, all I want to do is get my father the recognition that he was denied, and that may not mean anything to you, jason, but it might if you were the guy who sat at his father’s deathbed while he was grasping for his last breaths. The last word he said on this earth was, “why did edward shut me out?” Look, jason… even if I do win this lawsuit against the quartermaines and get the juicy satisfaction of a few elq voting shares, it’s not like the qs are going to welcome me into the family with open arms, and, by extension, jimmy lee. Then why bother? I-I’m not sure what you mean. Oh, really? Don’t play a player, brook lynn, okay? That — the fake “bump into,” establishing doctor-patient confidentiality, then bringing up a situation where one of my doctors breaks it. A doctor that just so happens to be locked in litigation with your family. You knew about that? Yeah. Austin is the son of edward quartermaine’s illegitimate son, jimmy lee holt. Edward wrote poor old jimmy lee out of the will, and now austin’s in court trying to write himself back in. Impressive. Not really. You know, the quartermaine squabble is the go-to gossip in the staff room.

[ Sighs ] Okay. Still, austin definitely crossed a line. Yes, you’re right. He did. Dr. Gatlin-holt had no business discussing or making a diagnosis regarding someone he doesn’t have the expertise to examine. So, when and where did he say leo was autistic? It was at G.H., Actually, this morning. Were there any witnesses? Chase and maxie were nearby, but they weren’t a part of the conversation. Okay, would you be willing to give your account to a disciplinary board?

[ Chuckles ] Why am I even asking? Of course you’d be willing. This is the point of the conversation. So what are you going to do about austin? Okay, let me do my job. And in turn, you take care of leo, because if austin thinks he might be on the spectrum, I’m inclined to believe him.

[ Sighs ] Oh, hi. Hey. Am I interrupting? No. What can I do for you, ava? I assume sonny told you. Spencer is your stalker? Yeah. Wow. I’m sorry about that. And just so you know, spencer and his girlfriend were asked to leave my hotel this morning. Wow, you surprise me. Why is that? I just thought that you would forgive spencer’s transgressions. Because you were the target. Okay, well, look, spencer has every right to have a chip on his shoulder. He has no right to go after avery. That’s totally unacceptable. I agree. I agree completely. And now that I am no longer in fear for my life — or avery’s — and I’m not going anywhere, I was hoping that we could revisit avery’s custody arrangement. So there’s rules if I stay in town? Why do you seem so surprised? I mean, look, you must’ve known that your lies were going to bring consequences…right? -Right. -Right. So, how foolish of me to forget. I am so sorry. Okay, lay ’em on me. Okay, first of all, uh, you stay away from carly. That’s easy. And the rest of my family. Including my grandson? Well, uh, michael’s his father. That’s his decision — what he wants to do with his son. And you and carly, of course, are going to back michael, whatever he decides. And I do believe we should not cross paths. Well, why don’t you give me a list of places that you think you’ll be, and I’ll just avoid them? Anything else? And I have the right to change the rules as I see fit. You weren’t wrong. What do you mean? About me finding out who you really are. Been quite the education. You know what? These — these rules make it easier for you. Oh. Yeah. Do you want me to thank you? No. No. I-I don’t need gratitude. I just want peace. Oh. Good luck finding it.

[ Chuckles ] Well, when I do, I’ll let you know so you can find it. But we’re not supposed to cross paths. Well, I can make an exception. So… okay, I think, uh, I covered it, so I’m going to let you get back to work. Wait. Mike left this in nixon falls. But it was never his. Sonny… it’s been yours all along.

Ava, I’m not going to have that conversation with you without sonny. Okay. I-I just thought, because you and I… we got along pretty well — right? — In sonny’s absence. I thought we could work together to lay the groundwork for a civilized conversation about the current arrangement. That’s all. I understand. Not without sonny. So, in spite of everything, you and sonny are as… committed as ever, huh? In spite of what exactly? Well, not what. Who. I’m not going to talk to you about this. Um, as for avery’s custody agreement, I am sure sonny will be happy to talk to you. So, if you don’t mind, you can go. Carly. Honestly, I didn’t come here only to talk to you about avery. I wanted to tell you how sorry I am about everything that’s happened — right? — What nina did to you and to sonny, to your family. It’s just — it’s deeply disturbing, isn’t it? I mean, the mark of a — a very troubled mind. To conceal a man from his family, to make them believe that he was dead while he’s off creating another life as a new person. But you’re friends with nina. Did you know what she was doing? Did you know that she knew sonny was alive? Were you keeping her secret? No! No, god, no! This is avery’s father we’re talking about. Nina would never tell me — she knows I wouldn’t keep that kind of secret. You better hope so, because if sonny found out, he would be very unhappy, and if you cross sonny, he’s the one who’s going to respond. Not mike from nixon falls. That’s my dad’s watch. Take it. Take it. I threw it away in nixon falls. I-I never — never thought I’d see it again. Why’d you throw it away in the first place? Because I felt it was holding me back from… taking that next step with…you, my life. Well, now your watch has come back to you. Where’d you get it? Well, phyllis actually found it. She was walking past one of lenny’s old fishing haunts. Lenny? Yeah. Maybe he had a hand in finding it. That watch was meant to be found. Is that what phyllis said? No, she actually said the opposite. She…didn’t know whether or not she should give it back to you. Why? Because she thought that maybe it would bring up some painful memories, but I figured you’d want it, so I told her to leave it here. Why didn’t you hold on to it? Sonny…

[ Sniffles ] …I don’t have claim to any part of you. Not even as mike. I never did. I didn’t come here to lay down the ground rules. I, uh — somebody said that I should forgive you.

[ Sniffles ] You’re kidding. Yeah. I mean, not… not forget. Forgive. Sonny? Do you forgive me? Not now. But I’m — I’m — I can’t rule it out.

[ Sniffles ] Hi, liv. Hey, leo. What brings you guys here? I hope everything’s okay. Just a — just a visit with his pediatrician. Good. Yeah. Mrs. Quartermaine. Leo. Dr. Diamond will see you now. Okay. Uh. Honey, why don’t you go with, uh, nurse caty for a second? I’m going to have a conversation with brook lynn. Okay, sweetheart? It’s okay. It’s okay, sweetie. It’s okay. Let’s go. Is everything okay? Well, I don’t know. Why don’t you tell me? You seem to be the expert on my son. You and — you and austin. Sorry. I didn’t mean for you to hear any of that, olivia. No, no. I don’t need an apology. I just would like an honest answer. Is that what austin’s been — been hinting about all this time? He thinks my son has autism? He does. I mean, you had a nice life in pautuck. You had a — what? — Medical practice. 500 people sponsored you in raising thousands for a local hospital. 505. What? Well, I did have the most sign-ups. And you sacrificed all that to try and force your way into a family that doesn’t want you. Yeah, I know. It must seem counterintuitive. And I did have a great life there.

[ Sighs ] So why give that up? The answer for me is simple. I don’t think I really could have enjoyed that life unless I tried to have this life. Nothing like that’s ever happened to you? You’ve never been in a situation where you had to weigh two things that you cared about and choose one over the other? Have you really been that lucky? Okay. Come on, come on, come on, come on.

[ Sighs ] It’s — it’s quitting time. We got — no, I can’T. I have a last-minute emergency. No, we — we got to do the brainstorming about how to get liesl home. Delayed. No, it can’t be delayed. She is in danger. She’s not just gonna get away from peter august. She’s alone. And anna devane is not going to make her a priority. Okay, scott, what — what are we supposed to do? Huh? Hire a mercenary? Well… that could be a little pricey. However, you know, what — what if we — we did come up with the money, you know?

[ Snaps fingers ] Like that? Who? Who? Who would we get? I mean, do you have any contacts, you know, with the black ops? What about your old daddy faison? Any of his cronies around?

[ Chuckles ] That’s funny. You know, I actually never thought of downloading his address book. Well, it wouldn’t work, anyway. We need someone closer to home, someone that is willing to plunge into danger, someone who is… stone cold. No. Yes. No. Yes. I’m not calling jason. Nothing kills lift and push and push! Thoctor aboutaustedo…it’s tim e to treat td. For smooth, luminous ski asking jason to find my mother is a terrible idea. I love liesl, and anna devane hates her. Now, listen, we got to pull out the big gun, and the big gun owes you. You don’t know the first thing about jason and me. Well, what — why — why don’t you enlighten me?

[ Scoffs ] We were two people who were on the run from some killers, okay? Yeah. Well, that happens every day. Look, we — we had some laughs. We dodged some bullets. That’s it. He doesn’t owe me anything, and I don’t know how to ask. Well, wait. Uh, whoa. Here you go. Let me script it for you. “Hey, jason…” f-forget it, scott!

[ Stammering ] Seriously. O-o-okay, I-I know you don’t want to go crawling to jason.

[ Scoffs ] You want to be dignified in the afternoon. You don’t want to look pathetic. But how are you going to feel if your mother never comes home? Are you going to say, “wow, at least I have my dignity”?!

[ Scoffs ]

[ Sighs ] Don’t overthink this, liv. Austin is clearly trying to divide and conquer. He wants our family to be confused and distracted so that we can’t present a united front against him. You think my son has autism? Look, I got the good doctor breaking confidentiality so I could bring it to britt. She’s getting the — the disciplinary board involved. He might even lose his medical license. There’s no way he’s gonna have time to fight for a piece of elq. He’ll be too busy fighting to stay a doctor. Yeah, yeah, I-I — I-I see what you’re doing. You do? I’ve just got one question for you — what is my son to you? A brother? Or just a means to an end?

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Ringing stops ] What’s up, boss? I know you’re not on the schedule tonight, but I need you to come in. What’s the medical emergency? I just need you to come in now. Uh, okay. Maybe next time we can help each other out. Maybe next time we can get that beer. You know, I wasn’t joking about boxer’s knuckles. As hard as you hit that thing, you need to be careful. Good luck. Thank you, jason. Good luck to you, too. Looks like it… took a beating when I threw it away. Yeah. Nothing a little cleaning and repair can’t fix.

[ Clears throat ] I just… don’t want to put it on. I don’t want to take it off. I — you know, ’cause my dad loved this watch, and he recognized it, you know, when he barely recognized anything, and I don’t know why I would throw it away. Now you have it back. It’s true, you know? In life, as in music, timing is everything. What do you mean? Well, phyllis walked past lenny’s old fishing haunt to rescue your watch, and you returned home on jason and carly’s wedding night just in time to stop. Carly. You’re right about one thing — timing is everything.

[ Door opens, closes ]

[ Exhales sharply ] I was hoping that you and i could collaborate for avery’s benefit. I did not mean to start anything, honestly. I will tell sonny that you’d like to speak to him. Thank you. I-I-I’d like to see avery tomorrow. So maybe then the three of us could sit and — and talk about custody. Sure, should be easy. We’ve done this before. Well, yeah, you, me, and sonny, not you, me, and…mike. There’s no “mike.” Are you sure? It’s not like sonny has forgotten the life he led for all of those nine long months, right? All those experiences — they’re still with him. Just like all your experiences are still with you.

[ Indistinct conversations in distance ]

[ Box rattles ] Peppermint. Okay, I-I guess I was a little harsh. You called me “pathetic.”

H-hypothetically pathetic. If I don’t swallow my pride and ask for help from a guy who dumped me to marry his best friend. Well, that marriage didn’t make it to the break of day. Well, how does that make it better? Well, okay. Um, so, did your mother ever tell you about a little thing called

schadenfreude?

Schadenfreude? My german is schlecht. Mm-hmm. Well, yes. Mine’s intact.

[ Chuckles ] So, I-I have an idea. Mac scorpio — he’s been a gun for hire. Maybe he knows someone. No. Hell, maybe he’ll do the job himself. He hates peter august. No, no. Mac needs to stay with maxie.

[ Sighs ] I will think about talking to jason. Okay? But don’t get your hopes up. He’s got his own priorities. I doubt my problems are among them. Hey, jason, sonny’s not answering his cell. Is he with you? I-I haven’t seen him. Is everything okay?

[ Sighs ] I’m not sure. I just had a run-in with ava about avery. I don’t know. Maybe it’s nothing. Ah, it’s never nothing with ava. Yeah, that’s true.

[ Breathes deeply ] Anyway, don’t worry about it. I’ll talk to you later. Bye. Of course I’m doing this for leo, I love him. I’m sure you do. I’m also sure you wouldn’t think twice about exploiting him for your own gain. I’m only telling the truth. Okay? Austin violated hipaa rules when he told me leo might have autism. Now, he could say I misunderstood, and I will agree with him if he drops the lawsuit. Why would I care about any of this? You think my son is autistic! Austin doesn’t have the authority to make that kind of diagnosis. He barely even knows leo.

[ Breathes sharply ] Look, you might want to take him to see a pediatrician who specializes in this sort of thing, just to be absolutely sure. Oh, my god. I cannot believe we are having this conversation. I am so damn sick of you quartermaines always putting your company in front of your family! Olivia… dr. Gatlin-holt, thank you for coming in on such short notice. What’s the problem? You are. My office. It looks a little imbalanced. I tell you what — if you just switch the models’ pictures, I-it might look a little bit more balanced, yeah.

[ Knock on door ] Nina!

[ Whispering ] Oh, you could say that again. You’ve been living a double life, haven’t you? Here you go. Thanks.

[ Door closes ] My chair. Yeah, I, uh, I put it in storage. And I, you know, I was using different one. You don’t like my chair? Just, you know, it didn’T… didn’t seem right.

Eli: Oh, this man’s on a roll.

Abe: Of course I am! The woman said yes.

Lani: I still cannot believe that my aunt and my dad are getting married.

Abe: Well, indeed we are, so I would like us to raise glasses and have a toast to love.

Paulina: Oh.

Eli: To love.

Lani: To love.

Abe: Love, to love.

Paulina: Oh, and let’s not forget about marriage.

Abe: Oh, that’s right. Cheers.

Abigail: So is that why you want to play john in the movie? You don’t want me to have a sex scene with another man? I mean, you do realize I’m gonna be acting, right?

Chad: Yes, of course. I was just–I was kidding.

Abigail: Were you? ‘Cause your jealousy is kind of what got us into trouble, in the first place.

Chad: I was wrong about you and jake. I regret ever going there. You know that.

Abigail: Well, I don’t know. I’m kind of starting to wonder if it’s happening again. Do you want johnny to give you the part in the movie because you don’t trust me with ej?

Chad: No, it’s got nothing to do with him. I just want to spend time with you as much as I can. And I think that doing this movie will be good for us.

Abigail: Really?

Chad: Yes. I have a feeling that this could bring us closer.

John: Hey.

Roman: Hey, I’m sorry for coming by so late without calling first, but I just wanted to let know I told johnny i won’t help him fund that movie.

John: Nice. Thank you, roman. I know that wasn’t easy.

Roman: No, but you’re right. The last thing we want is for marlena to have to relive that time.

John: I hear you. Hey, come on in.

Roman: Okay.

John: So tell me, how did johnny take the news?

Roman: Well, I just explained to him that when I agreed to invest I thought he was doing a movie about sami. And now, it’s all about this devil business, and I just think that telling that story is not a good idea.

John: Yeah, well, I’m sure he was disappointed.

Roman: Yes he was, and I, you know, I felt bad about having to let him down, but we’ll get past it. The important thing is that we do everything we can to protect marlena.

John: Amen to that.

Just let go, marlena. Give in to me. Give in to me. Give in to me.

[Dramatic music]

Excellent. You’re finally starting to let go. You’re almost there, marlena. We have already achieved so much together. If you let me back in, there will be no limit to what we can accomplish. But we cannot delay. Our time is now. I need you to be mine tonight.

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

[Soft orchestration]

[Soft music]

Ciara: Was that just me, or did that feel different? Extra special?

Ben: It was definitely not just you.

Ciara: I didn’t think it was.

Ben: Uh-uh.

Ciara: And that kind of has me wondering.

Ben: Oh, yeah? What are you wondering, my love?

Ciara: I’m wondering if we just made a baby.

[Crash]

[Ominous music]

Babe, what was that? Is there a storm coming or…

Ben: Everything looks clear.

Ciara: So then what made the window fly open?

Ben: I have no idea. Maybe it’s just a big gust of wind?

Ciara: That appeared out of nowhere, and just disappeared? That’s pretty weird, ben.

Ben: I really hope that wasn’t, like, some kind of bad omen.

Ciara: Bad omen of what?

You should be very proud of what you’ve helped me accomplish so far. You attacked julie williams, in the hospital, and convinced everyone it was her husband doug. You had him committed to bayview, so you would not expose our collaboration. Then, best of all, you persuaded ben weston to father a child, to bring his and ciara’s baby into the world. You convinced him to let go of all of his fears about the future. Now, marlena, you must let go of yours. Woman: I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Abigail: So you think us acting together would bring us closer?

Chad: I do.

Abigail: Hmm. Well, what if I turn out to be a big diva on set?

Chad: Wouldn’t care if you were.

Abigail: No?

Chad: No.

Abigail: It’s not gonna bother you if I insist my room is stocked daily with purple hydrangeas and chocolate-covered pretzels?

Chad: It’s an independent film with a shoestring budget. I don’t think anybody’s gonna be getting a dressing room.

Abigail: I want the pretzels. Milk chocolate.

Chad: Okay.

Abigail: Not dark.

Chad: All right, you got it. But I do think that playing john and marlena would be really cool. I mean, just think of everything that they’ve overcome, all of the times that they’ve been separated, and they got back together. And they just keep getting stronger and stronger. It’s a really beautiful love story they have.

Abigail: They’re a real super couple.

Chad: Yes they are. It gives me hope that we can come back together. And who knows? Maybe, by the time the film is done, we’ll be able to sleep in the same room.

John: You know, when I saw that revised script, I almost blew a gasket.

Roman: Did you talk to marlena, tell her what’s going on?

John: Well, you know, I was going to, but when I got over to the hospital, she was so upset.

Roman: About what?

John: Well, she had this really heavy therapy session with ben weston, and I guess she didn’t like the way the session went. She wanted to talk to him some more, but, roman, she was so drained. I said, “no, no, honey, time for you to shut it down tonight.” I brought her home, and she got right into bed.

Roman: Okay. So she doesn’t know the new direction johnny’s going in?

John: You know, maybe I’m being a little overprotective by not telling her, but she’s been having such a rough time lately, I just didn’t want to pile on.

Roman: Okay, was she upset about something else other than ben?

John: Doug.

Roman: Oh, oh, yeah, doug. God, that poor guy. Not in his right mind. I mean he even attacked his own wife, and I mean, marlena did what she had to do, to protect him and everybody else.

John: Told her the exact same thing, but she still feels like she failed doug. I think that’s why she’s so driven to try to help ben right now.

Ciara: Ben, what do you mean by “bad omen”?

Ben: I don’t know.

Ciara: Ben, what happened? You were feeling so good earlier, so optimistic after seeing marlena.

Ben: I was, and I am. I am.

Ciara: So then why are you talking about bad omens?

Ben: I just think it’s kinda strange. You know, I mean, you decide to throw away your birth control pills, we make love, and then you wonder out loud if we just made a baby. And then, all of a sudden, the windows blast open, and all the candles blow out.

Ciara: So what are you saying, what do you think that means? You think someone’s trying to warn us not to get pregnant?

Ben and ciara’s child is so important for the future. I want that baby. I need that baby for myself.

[Dramatic music]

– Oh…oh. – What’s going on?

Ciara: Ben, answer me. Do you think that some unknown force is trying to warn us not to get pregnant?

Ben: Of course not, no, baby. I know it was just the wind.

Ciara: Ben? You promised me that you’d be honest with me from now on. Baby, what’s going on?

Ben: I guess I’m just just a little nervous about having a baby.

John: I’m telling you, roman. Doc is just really beating herself up lately.

Roman: She’s a great doctor, the best; everybody knows that.

John: Yeah, I know, but still she feels like she failed doug. And then she had to make that painful decision to have him committed there. It’s just kind of shaken her confidence.

Roman: Well, you know, hopefully get some rest’ll help.

John: Yeah, yeah, I think she’s too wired to sleep though. That’s why I made her some tea. Probably should run it in to her.

Roman: Yeah, good call. You know what? If you need anything, either one of you, just say the word.

John: Oh, thanks, man. And thank you again for backing out of that film. I mean, even though it’s just gonna be on the big screen, we don’t need that particular bit of history repeating itself.

I can feel you’re still fighting me, that you’re not ready to fully commit. I know you’ve always done everything for everyone else and nothing for yourself. Except when you let me in and feel my power coursing through your veins. You need to let yourself go completely and feel that way again. Perhaps you’d be more open to the idea if you knew my plans, which can only come to fruition with your help. You can never go back on the approval you gave ben to bring a child into the world. The future is in your hands, marlena. I think it’s time that I share with you exactly what I have in store for that child.

Abigail: Chad.

Chad: Now, I’m not trying to pressure you at all. I just miss sharing a room with you, and a bed. But I know you’re not ready for that, and I respect that. And I would never try to skip past everything that I have to do to make things right between us anyway. I just–I’m just expressing hope for the future.

Abigail: Well, it’s like i told you in boston. There’s nothing I want more than to be able to trust in our marriage again and our love.

Chad: And you’re not there yet. I understand. And I’ll wait as long as it takes. But I just want you to know I love you. I always have, and I always will.

[Soft music]

And that’s just about what i wanted to say. I’ll let you go to bed.

Abigail: Hold on.

Chad: What?

Abigail: Why don’t you stay in my room tonight? This is the sound of an asthma attack…

Chad: What did you say?

Abigail: I think you heard me.

Chad: I did–I think I did. I just–I wanted to make sure.

Abigail: [Sighs] Ever since I came home, I’ve kept you at arm’s length. But you’ve been very patient, and you’ve been understanding, and you’ve been devoted, and you’ve taken care of the kids. You’ve taken care of me and given me the time and space that I need. Everything I have asked, you have done and more, and so, I think it’s time I let you back in.

[Soft music]

Ciara: Oh, baby. I didn’t expect one session with marlena to magically erase all of your reservations. I mean, having a baby is still a huge step, no matter what. It’s life-changing, so it makes sense for the both of us to be a little bit nervous. I’m nervous, too, baby, as much as I am excited about the idea.

Ben: But we will stay on it, and we’ll just be hopeful that I don’t pass down any of the mental illness I had to our child, and if, god forbid, we see any signs at all that I did, we find treatment.

Ciara: Mm-hmm.

Ben: Right away.

Ciara: Mm-hmm, that’s right.

Ben: I’m sorry for freaking out. It’s just that you could be pregnant right now.

Ciara: Well, the odds are pretty slim for the first try. And so that means we are gonna have to try again, and again, and again, and again, and again.

Ben: And again.

Ciara: And again.

Ben: I am down for that.

Ciara: Hmm?

Ben: Mm-hmm.

Ciara: Although, honestly, weston, between the two of us, I am getting the short end of the stick here.

Ben: What do you mean short?

Ciara: Well–

Ben: What?

Ciara: I mean that I’m gonna be the one to gain all the weight, I’m gonna wake up with the morning sickness, the swollen ankles. All you’re gonna have to do is run to the store and get me my cravings whenever I want.

Ben: Mm-hmm, and I’m going to love every minute of it. In fact, what can I get you right now? Ice cream, pickles? What can I get you?

Ciara: Just this, babe.

My plan for ben and ciara’s baby is so monumental, so magnificent, and it all begins with–

John: Hey, doc, still awake?

Damn that john black, always trying to come between us.

John: What the heck? Is this thing locked?

Just ignore him, marlena. He’ll go away.

John: What the hell’s going on in there? Looks like it’s stuck. Hey, doc, are you okay in there? Doc? Hang on, doc, I’m coming! Come on!

Tackling tough messes can

take more time than you have,

[Soft music]

John: Hey, sweetheart. You okay, honey?

Marlena: Oh, yeah.

John: Hey, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you up. I just got really worried when I couldn’t open the door, and I swear I heard some voices in here.

Paulina: One key lime pie to go.

Eli: Oh, you know I’m gonna enjoy this.

Paulina: Well, to each his own, baby, to each his own.

Eli: Hey, and congrats again.

Lani: Oh, thank you so much for dinner.

Paulina: Mm-hmm.

Eli: Oh, bring it in. Bring it in.

Paulina: Aw.

Eli: I love you guys.

Abe: Oh, hey, take care.

Eli: See you guys later.

Paulina: Goodnight.

Eli: Goodnight.

Abe: That was a lovely evening, don’t you think?

Paulina: Hm.

Abe: Everything okay?

Paulina: I can’t believe I asked lani to call me mama. What was I thinking?

Abe: Hey, you know, you shouldn’t be so hard on yourself, just got carried away. Now, I know how you feel. Being lani’s dad is–it means everything to me.

Paulina: Well, after all that celebrating, I am wiped out. I think I’ll get ready for bed.

Abe: You know, let me ask you this–now that we are engaged, when do you want to do this?

Paulina: You mean, you want to set a date?

Abe: Yeah, any thoughts?

Paulina: Well, I guess that depends upon if you want a big wedding or a small one. Big takes a lot more planning.

Abe: Well, if it was left up to me, I’d do it tomorrow.

Paulina: I guess we’ll be having a small one.

Abe: So I will defer to my bride.

Paulina: Abraham, we are on the same page about pie and wanting our wedding to be an intimate affair. And now, for our first big challenge after becoming engaged–

Abe: Challenge? What do you mean?

Paulina: Finding a free date for both of us when we can get hitched–ah!

[Soft music]

Ciara: I don’t really want any food right now, do you?

Ben: Not really, kinda tired.

Ciara: Yeah, me too, but I don’t think I can go to sleep quite yet. Maybe there is something good on tv.

Ben: Yeah, check it out. I’ll watch anything.

Ciara: Okay.

Oh, my god. It’s “rosemary’s baby.”

John: Were you on your phone?

Marlena: No, I was asleep.

John: Maybe the voices came from that. Sound machine might have switched over to the radio or something. It looks fine to me.

Marlena: Oh. Well, I didn’t hear anything. Maybe I was talking in my sleep. What did you hear me say?

John: I’m not sure. I was out in the hall. Everything was mumbled.

Marlena: Okay.

John: No, no, no. Where are you going?

Marlena: Well, honey, I’ve been awfully worried about ben. I want to get dressed and go check on him.

John: No, no, you need to rest. You can talk to ben tomorrow.

Marlena: No, I don’t think–

John: He’s gonna be fine. He’ll be fine.

Marlena: It’s not–

John: He’ll be fine. Right now, I’m a lot more concerned about you, okay?

For once in my life,

I feel a little good

thing inside

looking in your eyes

I only want to love you

and hold you tight

I feel fine

because you’re mine

we’re in the light

dancing in the light

of love

holding you tight

tripping in the light

of loving

you

my world is gonna shine

because you’re mine

because you’re mine, mine

because you’re mine

because you’re mine your mission:

Eli: Hey, roman.

Roman: Hey, well, look at you two out on the town.

Lani: Yeah, we were just out at dinner celebrating.

Eli: Yeah, abe and paulina got engaged last night.

Roman: Oh, great, I like it.

Lani: Yeah, we’re really happy for them both.

Roman: Yeah, so am I. I didn’t think he’d propose this soon, but they do seem like a great match.

Eli: Made in heaven.

Paulina: So you thinking, like, a saturday night vibe or more easy like sunday morning?

Abe: Well, I have no preference. You know, of course I like having a nice wedding, but it’s the marriage. It’s the marriage that’s important.

Paulina: Abraham, we are on the same page. So how about mid-december?

Abe: Yeah, that’s almost too close to the holidays.

Paulina: Right, right.

Abe: Yeah. How do you feel about earlier in january?

Paulina: Hmm, oh, no good. I’m breaking ground on a project in bal harbour, and that time of year in salem, kinda bleak, no?

Abe: Yeah, I see. I see what you mean, yeah. Well, how about the third week in november?

Paulina: Well, that actually could work.

Abe: Ooh, that’s great. That would be more than a month’s notice, so theo and brandon could arrange to be here too.

Paulina: Oh, you think we could pull it all together by then?

Abe: I think anything we put our minds to will work.

Paulina: Well, then it’s all settled. A little more than a month from now, we’ll be husband and wife.

Abe: Ooh.

Paulina: Oh.

Ben: Why’d you turn it off?

Ciara: It’s a horror movie, and it’s not really what I want in my head right before I go to sleep.

Ben: Is it about a woman who gives birth to the devil’s baby? Just seems pretty dumb.

Ciara: It wasn’t a bad omen, ben.

Ben: What do you mean?

Ciara: That movie coming on was totally random. No one is trying to tell you that you’re evil and that I’m rosemary.

Ben: I mean, who said that?

Ciara: I can see it in your eyes, babe. You’re freaked out that I landed on that movie. Am I right? Baby, I am not some submissive pixie, and you are not evil. You are the best. You are a loving, caring, wonderful man, and you are gonna make the most amazing father. I know it because it’s true. And you’ve come way too far and worked way too hard to let fear ruin that. So let’s just forget about all of this nonsense that happened and focus on what is really real, and that is our love for each other.

[Soft music]

John: Here you go.

Marlena: Chamomile?

John: Hope it helps.

Marlena: Oh, I guess i thought it would be hot.

John: Yeah, well, I was on my way to bring it to you when roman stopped by.

Marlena: Oh, roman came by? Why?

John: We’ll talk about it later–tell you what I’ll do. I’ll go heat this up, okay?

Marlena: Hey, why don’t we talk about it now?

John: Well, I was going to, but I know that you were kind of upset about ben. Johnny has decided to rename his movie from “the sami brady story,” to “the marlena evans story.”

Marlena: Why would he change a movie about sami to a movie about me?

John: Well, apparently he’s fascinated about your past, specifically when you were… when you were… marlena: Possessed by the devil.

John: You know, I was upset enough just by knowing it was gonna be a part in the movie. Now, the whole damn movie’s gonna be about it.

Marlena: Oh, no.

John: But don’t worry about that; that’s why roman came by. He told me he changed his mind about investing. Johnny’s having a hard time coming up with the cash ’cause practically everybody has said no.

Marlena: So he won’t be able to make the movie?

John: I’m not gonna let him.

Marlena: That was his dream.

John: His dream was to make a film, and he can still do that. He’s just not gonna do this one, ’cause the last thing you need is to have to relive that part of your life, honey.

Chad: I can’t believe this is real. I mean, I’ve wanted this and you for so long. But I…

Abigail: What?

Chad: I just–I have to ask you something, but I don’t know if I should.

Abigail: You can ask me anything.

Chad: So does this mean we’re back together? When I heard about the science behind the new

Abigail: I don’t want to shut you out anymore; I want to be close to you.

Chad: I want that too, more than anything.

Abigail: But I think we also have to be realistic about where we are, you know? Our problems don’t disappear just because we made love. We’ve still got a lot of things to work on, and I’ve got a lot of things to work on. Everything–the guilt that I feel, after everything that happened with gwen’s baby, and… but I don’t want to work on things alone. Moving forward, I would like to work on everything together.

Chad: We will, I promise.

[Soft music]

Abe: Look how far we’ve come. It’s all because of you.

Paulina: Me, really? What did I do?

Abe: You kept your promise not to hide things anymore, no more secrets, no more lies. I mean, ever since, it’s just been wonderful. You made peace with your daughter, with my daughter, with me. I’ve never been happier. And I hope you feel the same way.

Paulina: Of course I do. Of course. Oh, mm.

Lani: Okay. The babies are asleep thanks to our excellent nanny. And thank you for cleaning up.

Eli: No problem, but now I am in the mood for something sweet.

Lani: You have got to be kidding me. I don’t ever want to see another pie for as long as I live.

Eli: No, no, I’m not talking about a pie. No pecan pie, or key lime pie, or florida lime pie.

Lani: Mm-hmm.

Eli: I want some lani pie.

Lani: Oh. Well, come get it.

[Laughs]

Ciara: Are you sure you’re okay?

Ben: Yeah, I am.

Ciara: No more worries about random gusts of wind or horror movies with devil babies?

Ben: No, no, no, no. Dr. Evans made me see that there is no reason why we shouldn’t have a child. And god forbid, any issues come up, we’ll handle it together, like we handle everything. We are gonna make the most beautiful family together.

Ciara: Oh, my god. I love you so much.

Ben: I love you so much. You can barely keep these eyes open.

Ciara: Yeah, I’m tired. Will you hold me? I want to fall asleep in your arms.

[Soft music]

John: I hope you’re not upset with me and my bringing up that movie.

Marlena: No, of course not.

John: All right, you know I support johnny. Just that he needs to understand that this project, it’s never gonna happen.

Marlena: I assume you you talked to him?

John: Well, you know I did. And so did allie, but I think he needs to hear it from you. And I was just thinking that, once you were feeling better, you know, you could talk him out of it, but now I don’t even think you’re gonna have to have that conversation.

Marlena: Oh, well, I’m glad for that.

John: And everything that is in the past is gonna stay in the past where it belongs. And it’s just gonna be smooth sailing for me and you, baby, from now on out.

[ Upbeat music ]

Zende: So, you don’t like the neck line?

Thomas: I do, on paper, but I don’t think this fabric will allow the neck line to fall like you really want it to.

Zende: It could. Remember the way it’s stitched… kind of holds up.

Thomas: Right, I’m saying, I like the design. It’s just honestly, with this fabric, it’s not gonna work.

Zende: I disagree.

Thomas: Okay, hope. What do you think?

Zende: Is everything okay?

Hope: Uh, yeah. Yes. Everything is okay.

[ Sighs ] All right, well I might as well tell you. I’m honestly surprised you haven’t heard donna or pam gossiping about it but… my dad is out of prison. He’s back in town.

Thomas: Deacon?

[ Man groaning ]

[ Clinking ]

Deacon: Dammit sheila, dammit! Come on, come on!

[ Sheila giggling ] God. Ugh.

Sheila: I hear the third cup is a charm. But you surprised me. I really thought someone like you would hold their liquor better.

Deacon: Your bedside manner sucks.

Sheila: Well, excuse my frustration. I hauled you up here, you passed out. That was not my idea of a great night.

Deacon: Oh, what’s a matter, were you expecting a little something else?

Sheila: I wouldn’t touch you deacon, even if I wanted to slap you. Now can we just call it straight on the children?

Deacon: You know, coming up here was a mistake, and hooking up with you is a recipe for disaster. Sheila, if I’m gonna have any relationship with my daughter, come on. I can’t be anywhere near you.

Sheila: You’re never gonna get past liam and the forresters on your own.

Deacon: Well, you know, that’s not really any of your business. Same as whatever’s going on with your son has nothing to do with me.

Sheila: Your daughter hung up on you last night.

Deacon: She wants to have a relationship with me. I mean why else would she have written me all the letters in prison? You know, I just… I just gotta get through to her. And I’m gonna make that happen. Today.

Zende: On a scale from one to ten, how freaked out do you think hope is right now?

Thomas: Look, deacon is about as low as they get, but hope has a soft spot for him.

Zende: He is her dad, right?

Thomas: Yeah, I don’t know if it’s that, though. It’s like hope has this ability to see good in people no matter who they are.

Zende: Talkin’ about liam?

Thomas: Talkin’ about me. But you know, I don’t know what deacon being back means for hope or her family.

Paris: Hey, sorry. I don’t want to be an interruption.

Zende: You could never be an interruption.

Paris: Hi. I was looking for hope. I wanted to go over some forrester foundation stuff.

Thomas: Yeah, actually she just stepped out. She’s on a conference call.

Paris: Is everything all right? I heard you mention deacon, and what it might mean for hope. Who is deacon?

Thomas: That’s a long, ugly story.

Zende: Featuring hope’s father.

Hope: No, the pleasure’s all mine. All right. We’ll talk soon.

Deacon: Shh, it’s okay. It’s dad. It’s dad. It’s me.

Hope: Dad, hi.

Deacon: Hey. I had to get past security.

Hope: How did you know I would be in here and I was alone?

Deacon: I got my ways. You know, I tried to call you last night.

Hope: Yeah, but dad, you can’t be here.

Deacon: Yeah, I know, I know.

Hope: If someone sees you–

Deacon: I’m complicating your life. I know, I’m sorry. I just want to say I’m sorry for everything. I know I’ve said it before. I know I’ve let you down. I just– I want you to understand, I’m different now.

Hope: Why should I believe you this time?

Deacon: I was in my cell, and I was reading. I was reading one of your letters, and it got me thinking about my past. I’ve got so many regrets, and you were talking about that doctor, the one who stole your baby and you thought you’d lost your daughter. Only to be reunited months later. And you were talking about the hurt. The thought of losing another child was the worst hurt you’d ever gone through. And that the pain was so bad that you… you thought you might die. And… the fact that I couldn’t be there for you. The fact that I couldn’t just hold you and… um, wipe away your tears. It just–I… it broke me. And I said to myself that if I ever get out of there, I will do whatever it takes to be a part of your life. Hope, please. I know that I can be the father you deserve. Just give me another chance.

From the very first touch,

Thomas: Apparently hope has been sending deacon letters for quite some time.

Paris: So, she really wants to connect with him.

Zende: He will definitely use her love to get what he wants.

Paris: And that is?

Thomas: I don’t know exactly, but I’m sure it’ll be self-serving.

Zende: It usually ends up with hope being hurt.

[ Phone chiming ]

Thomas: Finally!

Zende: What is it?

Thomas: My realtor said that my seller’s agreed to the reduction. The deal’s closed. Drawing up the paperwork. Yes!

Paris: Oh wow, congratulations!

Zende: Finally! I feel like they were giving you the run around for a while.

Thomas: Yeah, but you know what? This place is worth it. It’s perfect for me.

Zende: So, what are you gonna do with your apartment?

Thomas: I’ll just sublet it. Wait a minute, you’ve been living with your friend after you moved out of steffy and finn’s, right?

Paris: Yeah, finding the right place has been really hard.

Thomas: Okay, well, why don’t you, why don’t you just take my apartment? It’s fully furnished.

Paris: What? No. No, I can’T.

Thomas: Seriously. You can have it for free.

Paris: No, thomas, that’s way too much.

Thomas: It’s not too much, you’re a part of the forrester family. We’re friends, okay? This is what friends do for each other. Look, at least come take a look at it. And if you like it, it’s yours.

Paris: Okay, but I’m going to pay my own way. There are a lot of people out there who can’t, and I am fortunate.

Thomas: Okay.

Paris: Thank you.

Thomas: I actually need to head over there right now if you want to see it.

Paris: Yeah, I’d love to.

Zende: See? I told you it would all work out.

Deacon: I know I can be a terrific father. I really can. I just need the chance to prove it. I also know that you’ve got a lot of people buzzing in your ear telling you horrible stuff about me, and sadly, it’s true. But, but, what’s also true is that I love you. Look, I just… I just want a chance to be the father that you deserve. I wanna be a grandfather to beth. Please. Please, I’m so excited to meet her. I just… want to be back in your life.

Hope: I don’t know what to believe.

Deacon: Hope, just–

Hope: Dad, no. I don’t–

[ Sighing ] I don’t know. Okay, I do know that mom, and ridge and liam certainly don’t want you in my life.

Deacon: Is that what you want?

Hope: I just… I think I just want all of this to slow down. You know, maybe if we grab a coffee or lunch, or something, in public. But you coming here like this. I mean, dad, that’s not a good idea.

Deacon: Is this you talking, or is this them?

[ Door opening ]

Liam: What the hell are you doing here?

Deacon: I came to see my daughter. Like it or not, liam. I’m her father.

Liam: Oh yeah, you’re her father all right. And what kind of father have you been?

Deacon: You know, I’ve been a pretty awful one. Which is exactly why I’m here asking for a second chance. Look, I didn’t come here to con, I didn’t come here to manipulate. I just want a relationship with my daughter. And I want to see beth.

Liam: Absolutely… absolutely not!

Hope: Liam, please.

Liam: Hope, this is what deacon does. Right here, right now. This is it. He’s doing iT.

Deacon: Deep down, hope wants to have a relationship with me.

Liam: Oh my god, get out! Get out! You have caused hope and her entire family nothing but pain.

Deacon: All right, I didn’t come to fight, I just came to tell my daughter… that you have grown up into a beautiful, exceptional woman. Hope, I love you.

Thomas: So, now that I got the house, I mean, you could move in today if you think it’s a good fit.

Paris: It’s great.

Thomas: Well, it’s a great neighborhood, there is a place for pizza right around the corner, and they have live music. They also, after four P.M., You can get all you can eat wings for like ten bucks.

Paris: Mm. Now you’re speaking my language. I thought super rich la guys were just into quinoa and green juice.

Thomas: Ew, no. No, no, no. Look, I know this place isn’t exactly my sister’S. It’s not in malibu, it’s not right on the beach, but it’s–

Paris: Well, it’s perfect. And I’m way more of a city girl than a beach bunny, anyways.

Thomas: Ah.

Paris: Are you sure about this?

Thomas: Yeah, yeah. No, I got my new place, so– actually, I can text over to the management company, have them send you the sublet paperwork right now. Um, look, paris, I’d love for you to live here.

Paris: Deal. Thank you so much.

Thomas: Oh, yeah.

Liam: God, the fact alone that we would just show up like that. You okay?

Hope: Yeah, I’m fine.

Liam: By the way, how did he get past security, ’cause don’t they have a whole–

Hope: Liam, I appreciate that you’re so worried about me, but I really wish you weren’t so harsh with him.

Liam: I’m harsh because I’m trying to protect you. Okay, I know… I know I’m coming on real strong here. I see that. And I know it’s overbearing. But, hope, you have such a good heart. I mean, you have the biggest heart out of anybody I know.

Hope: But…

Liam: But, it makes you vulnerable. Like, people like deacon and sheila, they’re just not the kind of people that change. Even if they really want to.

Hope: And what if you’re wrong about him? You know, he’s had a lot of time to think about his life and what he wants and… is it that crazy to think that he loves me enough to change?

Liam: You tell me. Are you willing to take that gamble? I know I’m being harsh, I just don’t want him to hurt you anymore than he already has. And the best way to achieve that is to not let him be a part of your life.

[ Door knocking ]

Deacon: Hey.

Sheila: That bad, huh? Sorry.

Deacon: Yeah, sure.

Sheila: I mean it. I know what it’s like to be rejected by your child.

Deacon: Yeah, but see, that’s just it. That’s just it. I wasn’t rejected. Hope and I were standing there and she wanted to give me another chance. And then…liam walks in.

Sheila: What’d he say?

Deacon: What did he say? He talked to me like I was a piece of garbage. Like I was nothing. I have spent so much time fighting the forresters, and now I gotta fight liam spencer?

Sheila: Yeah, well, I have fought the forresters, too. And now I have to contend with steffy.

Deacon: Maybe we’re the problem. Maybe we ought to… maybe we ought to just quit. Sheila, the forresters are never gonna let you around them.

Sheila: You’re telling me to give up on finn and hayes? My own son and grandson?

Deacon: You’re never gonna have a relationship with them, so yes. Yes, before this goes too far because you are starting to get obsessed again. Everybody knows what happens when you think you should have something. I mean, you did it with lauren fenmore, you did it with eric forrester. Look, you just, you need to stop and realize what you can’t control. So, you need to leave your son, and the forresters the hell alone.

[ Sinister music ]

Thomas: Okay, so all this was already in your car.

Paris: Well, yeah. My friend didn’t have a lot of closet space, so.

Thomas: Oh, you want me to start moving this stuff to the bedroom?

Paris: No, no. You’ve already helped so much and I e-signed the sublet while I was out there.

Thomas: Oh, then this place is officially yours. Congratulations.

Paris: Thank you. And if you’re up for it, I would love to treat you to some of those wings that you were talking about. Show my gratitude.

Thomas: You’re on.

[ Phone ringing ] Oh, it’s my realtor. I gotta take this. But, make yourself at home. It is your home. Hello? Yeah. Okay. Am I sitting down? What do you mean? What? No, no, that’s not possible because they accepted my offer. Okay. All right, yeah. Okay, thanks.

[ Scoffs ] I can’t believe this. Um… well, I guess the seller backed out. He just gave the place to his buddy instead. I guess I’m not moving after all.

Deacon: I just came to tell my daughter that you have grown up into a beautiful, exceptional woman. Hope, I love you. If hope wants me out of her life… sheila: She said she wanted a relationship with you, then liam interfered.

Deacon: What could I do? That’s her husband. I mean, if for some reason, she doesn’t want me around, that’s how it’s gotta be. It’s the same thing with your son. I mean, if he doesn’t want you in his life, you gotta give him what he wants.

Sheila: What are you gonna do? What, are you gonna leave town? You’re gonna go from job to job?

Deacon: I don’t know what I’m gonna do, okay? But what I do know is that I haven’t earned a place in hope’s life. The same as you haven’t earned a place in finn’s life. Sheila, you know, maybe we just need to admit that we lost.

Sheila: You know what I hate more than anything, deacon? Someone with a defeatist attitude. A coward. Someone who gives up. No one had a perfect upbringing. But when there’s blood between a mother and a son, and a father and a daughter, you don’t give up. That blood bond is something that cannot be broken. I will have a place in my son’s life. In my grandson’s life. In the forresters’ life. Yu understand? Am I a mother that’s obsessed because I want to see my son? Yes. What’s really surprising me here right now is that you’re not. I thought you told me that you cared about hope.

Deacon: Hope means everything to me.

Sheila: Well, then do something about it. Together, we can get our kids back. But, you know what? If you would feel better crawling back into that bottle that you came out of, you go right ahead. But, I’m gonna be a part of my son’s life. I’m gonna be a part of my grandson’s life. And there is nothing that steffy and the forresters can do to stop me. I won’t stop until I get what I want. And you know what, deacon? I always get what I want. I always get what I want.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Eli and Lani join Abe and Paulina at Paulina’s apartment. Abe proposes another toast. Eli jokes that he’s on a roll. Lani still can’t believe they are getting married. Abe toasts to love while Paulina toasts to marriage.

Abigail asks Chad if he wants to play John in the movie just so she doesn’t have a sex scene with another man even though she’s acting. Chad says he was kidding while Abigail reminds Chad that his jealousy is what got them in to trouble in the first place. Chad admits he was wrong about her and Jake and regrets ever going there. Abigail wonders if it’s happening again and questions if Chad wants the part in the movie because he doesn’t trust her with EJ. Chad assures it has nothing to do with EJ and he wants to spend as much time with her as he can, so he thinks doing the movie would be good for them. Chad feels that this could bring them closer.

While John is making Marlena’s tea, Roman shows up at the door and informs him that he told Johnny that he will not help fund his family. John thanks Roman and knows it wasn’t easy. Roman agrees that the last thing they want is for Marlena to have to relive that time. John invites Roman in and asks how Johnny took the news. Roman says he just explained that he was agreeing to invest in a movie on Sami and now it’s all about this devil business, so he thinks telling that story is not a good idea. John is sure Johnny was disappointed. Roman confirms that he was but they will get past it and the important thing is to do everything they can to protect Marlena.

The Devil urges Marlena to let go and give in to him. Marlena then begins levitating above her bed. The Devil tells her to let go as she’s almost there and they are going to achieve so much together. He adds that if she lets him in, there is no limit to what they can accomplish. He declares that their time is now so he needs her to be his tonight.

Ben and Ciara lay in bed together after having sex. Ciara felt like it felt extra special which Ben agrees with. Ciara wonders if they just made a baby. Their window then suddenly blows open and all of their things start to blow across their room, leaving them confused. Ben gets up and shuts the window. Ciara wonders if a storm is coming. Ben responds that everything looks clear. Ciara questions what made the window fly open then. Ben has no idea. Ciara finds it pretty weird that a gust of wind just appeared and disappeared. Ben hopes it wasn’t a bad omen.

Marlena remains levitating above her bed. The Devil tells her to be proud of what they have accomplished like attacking Julie and convincing everyone it was Doug, to commit him to Bayview so that they were not exposed, and best of all she convinced Ben to father a child with Ciara and let go of all his fears about the future. The Devil declares that now Marlena must let go of her fears.

Abigail questions Chad thinking that them acting together would bring them closer together. Abigail jokes that she could turn out to be a big diva on set. Chad says he wouldn’t care as they joke together. Chad thinks them playing John and Marlena would be really cool. Chad talks about all that John and Marlena have overcome, the times they’ve been separated and got back together, stronger. Chad calls it a really beautiful story. Abigail agrees that they are a real super couple. Chad says it gives him hope that they can come back together. Chad jokes that maybe by the time the film is done, they’ll be able to sleep in the same room.

John tells Roman that he almost blew a gasket when he saw Johnny’s revised script. Roman asks if he told Marlena what’s going on. John says he was going to, but when he got to the hospital, she was so upset after a really heavy therapy session with Ben Weston and she wanted to talk to him more but she was so drained, so he brought her home and she went right to bed. Roman questions Marlena not knowing the new direction of Johnny’s movie. John admits he may be being overprotective by not telling her but she’s been having such a rough time lately, so he didn’t want to pile on. Roman asks if she’s upset about something other than Ben. John reminds him about Doug. Roman feels Marlena did what she had to do to protect Doug and everyone else. John says he said the same thing but Marlena still feels to blame and guesses that’s why she is so driven to help Ben now.

Ciara questions what Ben means by worrying about a bad omen and asks what happened since he was so optimistic earlier after seeing Marlena. Ben assures that he still is but thinks it’s kind of strange that Ciara threw away her birth control pills, they make love, and she wonders if they made a baby then all of a sudden, the window blasts open and all the candles blow out. Ciara asks what he thinks that means and questions if someone is trying to warn them not to get pregnant.

The Devil tells Marlena that Ben and Ciara’s child is so important for the future as he needs the baby for himself.

Ciara asks Ben if he thinks some unknown force is trying to warn them not to get pregnant. Ben says of course not and that it was just the wind. Ciara reminds him that he promised to be honest from now on and asks him what’s going on. Ben guesses he’s just a little nervous about having a baby.

John tells Roman that Marlena has been beating herself up lately. Roman calls her the best doctor. John notes that she still feels that she failed Doug and that has shaken her confidence. Roman hopes some rest will help. John mentions making her tea since she was too wired to sleep. Roman tells him to just say the word if they need anything. John thanks Roman again for backing out of Johnny’s film since they don”t need that bit of history repeating itself…

The Devil feels Marlena fighting and not being ready to fully commit. He argues that she’s always done everything for everyone else and nothing for herself, except when she lets him in and feels his power through her veins. The Devil urges Marlena to let herself go completely and feel that way again. He says perhaps she would feel different if she knows his plans which could only happen with her help. The Devil warns that you can never go back on bringing a child in to the world, so their future is in Marlena’s hands. He decides it’s time to share with Marlena exactly what he has in mind for the child.

Chad tells Abigail that he’s not trying to pressure her at all, he just misses sharing a room and a bed with her. Chad knows she’s not ready for that and he respects that, so he’d never try to skip past all he has to do in order to make things right between them. Chad says he’s just expressing hope for the future. Abigail tells him that there’s nothing she wants more than to be able to trust in their marriage and love again. Chad understands she’s not there yet and agrees to wait as long as it takes. Chad tells Abigail that he loves her, always has, and always will. Chad says he will let her go to bed but Abigail stops him and invites him to stay in her room tonight. Chad questions if she’s sure. Abigail acknowledges that she’s kept him at arms length ever since coming home but he’s been very patient, understanding, and devoted. Abigail admits that Chad has done everything she has asked and more, so she thinks it’s time that she let him back in. Chad then kisses Abigail.

Ciara tells Ben that she didn’t expect one session with Marlena to magically erase all of his reservations since having a baby is still a huge step that is life changing, so it makes sense for them both to be nervous. Ciara admits that she is nervous too. Ben says they will stay on it and hope he doesn’t pass on the mental illness to their child, but if he does they will find treatment right away. Ben apologizes for freaking out, but notes that Ciara could be pregnant right now. Ciara says the odds are slim for the first try which means they will have to try again and again. Ben says he’s down for that as they kiss. Ciara talks about how she will be the one to gain weight and get morning sickness. Ben tells her that he will get her everything she wants and asks what she is craving. Ciara says just him as they continue kissing.

The Devil tells Marlena that his plan for Ben and Ciara’s baby is so magnificent. They are interrupted by John knocking at the door, asking if Marlena is still awake. The Devil complains that John is always trying to come between them as Marlena remains levitating above her bed. John tries to enter but is confused to find the door locked. The Devil urges Marlena to ignore John and he’ll go away. John wonders what is going on as he realizes the door is stuck. John calls out to Marlena and tells her to hang on as he’s coming. John then breaks the door open. John checks on Marlena laying in bed and asks if she’s okay. John says he didn’t mean to wake her up but he got worried when he couldn’t open the door and he swears he could hear voices in here…

Paulina gives Eli and Lani the key lime pie that she did not want. Eli congratulates them again as he and Lani hug Paulina and Abe. Eli and Lani then exit. Abe tells Paulina that it was a lovely evening and asks her if everything is okay. Paulina can’t believe she asked Lani to call her “mama” and asks what she was thinking. Abe understands that she got carried away as he knows how she feels. Abe remarks that being Lani’s dad means everything to him. Paulina decides to get ready for bed. Abe stops her to ask when she wants to get married as he wants to set a date. Paulina says that depends on if he wants a big wedding or small since big takes a lot of planning. Abe says if it were up to him, they’d do it tomorrow, so Paulina guesses they will have a small one. Paulina assures they are on the same page in wanting their wedding to be an intimate affair. Paulina jokes that their first big challenge will be finding a date that they are both free to get married.

Ciara and Ben agree they are both kind of tired but Ciara doesn’t think she can go to sleep just yet and suggests finding something on TV. Ciara then turns on the TV and sees that the movie Rosemary’s Baby is on.

John questions if Marlena was on her phone. Marlena claims that she was asleep. John guesses maybe the voices came from the noise machine switching over to radio or something. John checks the machine but says it looks fine to him. Marlena tells him that she didn’t hear anything and suggests she was talking in her sleep. Marlena asks what John heard her say. John says he’s not sure since he was out in the hall. Marlena brings up being worried about Ben so she wants to go check on him but John encourages her to rest and that she can talk to Ben tomorrow. Marlena tries to argue but John insists that Ben is fine and he’s more worried about her right now.

Chad and Abigail kiss as they enter her bedroom and begin to undress. Chad carries Abigail as they kiss onto the bed. Chad lights candles and they continue kissing in bed.

Roman heads to the Brady Pub and runs in to Eli and Lani outside. Eli and Lani inform him that Abe and Paulina got engaged last night. Roman says he’s happy for them, but didn’t think Abe would propose this soon. Roman admits they seem like a great match.

Paulina asks Abe if he’s thinking a Saturday night or a Sunday morning wedding. Abe says he has no preference. Abe says he’d like to have a nice wedding but it’s the marriage that’s important. Paulina agrees and suggests December. Abe worries that’s too close to the holidays, so he asks how she feels about early January. Paulina says that’s no good as she’s breaking ground on a project then. Abe asks about the third week of November. Paulina decides that could work. Abe says that’s more than a month’s notice so his sons Theo and Brandon could arrange to be there too. Paulina asks if he thinks they could pull it all together by then. Abe feels anything they put their minds to will work. Paulina declares that it’s all settled then and in a little over a month, they will be husband and wife as they kiss.

Ciara shuts off the TV which Ben questions. Ciara tells him a horror movie is not what she wants in her head right before going to sleep. Ben says that a movie about a woman giving birth to the Devil’s baby seems pretty dumb. Ciara insists it wasn’t a bad omen and that the movie coming on was totally random. Ciara argues that no one is trying to tell him that he’s evil and she’s Rosemary. Ciara can tell Ben is freaked out that she landed on that movie. Ciara insists that she’s not some submissive pixie and he’s not evil. Ciara calls him a loving, caring, wonderful man who will make the most amazing father. Ciara says that Ben has come way too far and worked too hard to let fear ruin that, so they will forget about all the nonsense and focus on what’s really real which is their love for each other.

John gives Marlena her tea and hopes it will make her feel better. Marlena questions the tea not being hot. John explains that he was bringing it to her when Roman stopped by. Marlena asks why he came. John says they will talk about it later and offers to go heat up her tea but Marlena wants to talk about it now. John brings up knowing she was upset about Ben. John then reveals to Marlena that Johnny decided to rename his movie from The Sami Brady Story to the Marlena Evans Story. Marlena questions why he would do that. John explains that Johnny is fascinated by her past, specifically when she was possessed by the Devil. John says he was upset enough that it would be a part of the movie, but now the whole damn movie is about it. John adds that Roman came by to tell him that he changed his mind about investing and Johnny is having a hard time coming up with the cash since everyone has said no. Marlena asks if he won’t be able to make the movie then. John responds that he won’t let him. Marlena points out that it was Johnny’s dream. John argues that Johnny’s dream is to make a film and he can still do that, just not this one, because the last thing Marlena needs is to have to relive that part of her life.

Chad and Abigail lay in bed after having sex. Chad can’t believe this is real as he’s wanted this and her for so long. Chad says he has to ask her something, but doesn’t know if he should. Abigail says he can ask her anything. Chad asks if this means they are back together. Abigail wants to be close to him and doesn’t want to shut him out. Chad says he wants that too more than anything. Abigail adds that they have to be realistic about where they are as their problems don’t just disappear because they made love and they still have a lot to work on. Abigail brings up her guilt over what happened with Gwen’s baby, but she doesn’t want to work on them alone. Abigail declares that she’d like to work on everything together moving forward. Chad promises that they will as he hugs her.

Abe tells Paulina to look at how far they’ve come and says it’s all because of her keeping her promise not to hide things anymore, no more secrets or lies. Abe says ever since, things have been wonderful. Abe adds that Paulina made peace with her daughter, his daughter, and with him. Abe declares that he’s never been happier and hope she feels the same way. Paulina assures that she does as they hug.

Lani tells Eli that the babies are asleep thanks to their nanny and thanks Eli for cleaning up. Eli says now he’s in the mood for her as they kiss and then they head to the bedroom.

Ciara asks if Ben is sure he’s okay. Ben says that he is. Ciara asks if he has no more worries about random gusts of wind or horror movies with devil babies. Ben states that Marlena made him see that there’s no reason they shouldn’t have a child and if any issues come up, they will handle it together like they handle everything. Ben declares they will make the most beautiful family together. Ciara says she loves him so much. Ben says the same as Ciara admits she’s tired now. Ciara asks Ben to hold her so she can fall asleep in his arms.

John hopes he didn’t upset Marlena by bringing up the movie. Marlena says of course not. John explains that he supported Johnny but he needs to understand that this project is never going to happen. Marlena assumes that he talked to him. John confirms that he did and so did Allie, but he thinks Johnny needs to hear it from Marlena. John thought Marlena could talk him out of it but now thinks maybe she won’t have to have that conversation, so everything in the past can stay in the past where it belongs. John declares it will be smooth sailing for them from now on as he holds her.

Victor: We are having a discussion, the kind a father has with his future son-in-law when he’s about to marry his daughter.

Victoria: Well, it’s a little late to be asking him what his intentions are, don’t you think?

Ashland: You’re right. Victor and I are determined to make sure there are no surprises, that this wedding goes off without a hitch, and that we can savor the celebration.

Victoria: Which means there’s something that needs to be dealt with that you’re not telling me.

Victor: Sweetheart, all you have to know is that I have any potential threat to you, to the wedding, or to Ashland under control. I give you my word, alright? So, you two get ready. I’ll see you at the party. Goodbye, sweetheart.

Victoria: You look pale. And my father doesn’t fool me. What is this really about?

**†************

Victoria: Well, should I ask Nate to come check on you?

Ashland: No, no, no, no. There’s certainly no need. Ironically enough, Billy was the one who came to my rescue.

Victoria: Billy’s here? I haven’t seen him yet.

Ashland: Yeah, he’s probably laying low.

Victoria: Well [Sighs] Given that he’s been flooding my phone with messages, I assumed that he’d be banging on my door the moment that he arrived. He seems eager to confront me with his news that he thinks i need to know.

Ashland: Well, there’s nothing Billy can tell you that you don’t already know.

Victoria: Well, mom told him not to come, but I’m actually glad that he did because i cannot wait to see how crushed he will be when he sees that he flew all this way for nothing.

Ashland: That’ll be very satisfying for you.

Victoria: I wonder why i haven’t seen him yet. Do you think he’s avoiding me?

Ashland: He’s probably mapping out his grand entrance or something like that. I say we don’t give the guy another thought.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] That sounds good to me.

Gaines: Wow. This place is something else. Maybe I’ll use some of my payoff cash to buy myself a little palazzo like this one.

Billy: We’re not here for a shopping spree, okay? So just slow down. We got a job to do.

Gaines: And I, for one, am ready to do my part. I have been waiting a long time for this — the well-deserved and ultimate downfall of Ashland Locke. So, how do you see it playing out?

Billy: Very carefully.

Gaines: You know, I was hoping for something dramatic, like humiliating him while he’s standing on the altar, waiting for his precious bride.

Jack: It is the beauty of family.

Phyllis: She can’t keep on holding this against him. He was just trying to help her.

Jack: I’m sure he feels justified in his actions. Look, at least now he realizes that it’s time to let go and accept the inevitability of this wedding, unlike some people we know.
