Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Recap written by Christine

Lily was at Devon’s. She admired a picture of the baby, and said she liked that he was named Dominic – a D name for Devon. Devon didn’t expect that honor. She asked what it was like bringing a life into the world. He said it was incredible, and Abby was amazing through it all. Lily asked about Mariah, and Devon said she’d been heroic, and she stayed strong through everything she’d been through. He’d never forget the feeling of holding Dominic in his arms for the first moments in his life. He knew he’d feel a connection with Dominic, because they shared DNA, but this was something else. Lily asked about Amanda’s trip. Devon said that Amanda, Imani and Naya were on a getaway. It was a huge step, and Devon thought it’d be a good way to heal wounds from Sutton and the whole saga with Richard’s death. It meant a lot to Amanda because the trip was Naya and Imani’s idea. He asked where Billy was. He was with the kids. Lily decided to give them some alone time. Devon noted that Lily was taking care of Billy’s kids, and they were both looking after Moses. She noted that it took a village, which with Dominic’s birth, he and his parents were all a part of it too. Devon said he and Chance were technically family, through the Katherine connection. That was the main reason he wanted to be the donor – so that Dominic could have that connection. Lily said that Devon and Chance could work together to make sure Dominic was surrounded by love. She also noticed a shift in him since Dominic was born.

Devon said Amanda asked him that same question – if he regretted stepping up to be the donor, and the answer was no. he was happy he helped Abby and Chance start a family. Lily noted that, like Abby, she’d needed a surrogate. Lily wouldn’t judge of Devon’s answer was different, and she was here if he wanted to talk. He said the first time he held Dominic, he had the feeling that this was what it was like to be a father. It brought up lots of emotions. “Especially since you should’ve been a father awhile ago,” Lily said. She understood he’d think of Hilary and the baby he lost. He was sure Hilary was looking down on him and proud. She knew he missed Hilary and the baby. Lily said Devon could talk to her about that, and she wouldn’t make it about herself and the guilt she felt. She just wanted to be there for him, if he’d let her. He appreciated that. Lily asked how Abby was doing about Chance’s absence. He said Abby was doing the best she could. Lily hoped Devon took her advice not to badmouth Chance around Abby. Devon said he’d never rag on Chance to Abby. He felt sorry for Chance because he was missing out on so many moments. He thought that when Chance got home, it would really hit him hard. He didn’t even know he had a son. Lily thought that Chance would be grateful Devon looked after Abby and his son.

At their place, Abby told Mariah that they were short staffed at Society, because a hostess called in sick. Mariah offered to watch the baby. Abby said that was sweet, but it felt like too much to ask. Mariah insisted that she was happy to do it. Later, Mariah was alone with Dominic, and he was wailing, and she didn’t know what to do, because she’d already taken care of all his needs. Abby came home at some point later and made a beeline to the bassinet with a smile on her face. She was caught off guard when she found it empty. Abby yelled out that she’d found someone to come in to work, so Mariah was off the hook for babysitting. Abby told herself that Mariah might be feeding or rocking the baby. She raced upstairs calling Mariah’s name. Abby called Devon and told her that Mariah and Dom were gone, and she left her phone behind. Devon said not to freak out – he’d be right over. Devon brought Lily up to speed, and she understood he had to leave.

Mariah brought the baby inside, and Abby asked what happened. Mariah explained that he was crying, and she called the pediatrician who recommended a walk. It clearly helped, since he was sleeping now. Abby pointed out that Mariah didn’t leave a note or take her phone. Mariah was sorry – her brain short circuited due to the crying – must be the hormones. Abby said the last time Mariah disappeared with the baby, she’d been gone for three weeks. Abby almost called the police. Mariah was really sorry, but she just took the baby out for a walk on the grounds. There was no need for alarm. Devon showed up, and Abby told him that Mariah just took Dom for a walk, and she thought she’d be back before Abby was home from work. Abby took Dom to bed. Mariah apologized, explaining that she didn’t want to bother Abby at work, and she thought she could handle it alone. When Dom started crying his head off, she had no idea what to do. She was worried he was sick, so she called the pediatrician. Devon thought Mariah did the right thing. Mariah said she got so panicky and flustered that she forgot her phone. She crumbled under the pressure. Devon noted that Mariah got expert advice and did what the baby needed, and it all worked out. He was happy she was with Dom and that she followed her natural instincts. Abby was on her way back, and she looked worried when Mariah said “Man this being a mom thing is not for wimps. It’s a lot harder than it looks.”

Adam and Victor were at the office. The initial reviews of the launch were positive, and none of them mentioned Phyllis dumping water on Sally. Adam had to go, because he had dinner plans. “You’re not meeting that woman are you?,” Victor asked. Adam confirmed that he was meeting Sally. Victor thought Sally should be fired for throwing a drink in Phyllis’s face at the launch party. Adam asserted that Phyllis provoked Sally, so both women shared the blame. Victor asked if Adam could blame Phyllis after what Sally did to Summer. Adam wasn’t interested in Sally and Phyllis’s personal details. He was having a working dinner. “Is that what they call it now,” Victor asked. Victor thought Adam should stay here and come up with a strategy for dealing with ChancComm. Adam said they’d discuss it later, but now, Sally was waiting for him.

Elena and Nate met Victoria and Ashland for dinner at Society. Elena and Nate had two nights off in a row, which was unheard of, so they got to enjoy and relax tonight. They saw Sally come in and look around. Sally took a seat at the bar, while the two couples headed to the lounge.

Nate talked about robotic surgery, the kind of technology, they could purchase due to Ashland’s generous donation. Ashland preferred that they discuss another topic, anything was fine, as long as it wasn’t about his health situation. Elena inquired about their wedding plans. That was Victoria’s favorite subject. She shared the details off screen. Nate imagined it must be challenging to organize an event on another continent. Victoria said Nikki found someone in Italy to coordinate things. Elena asked about the dress, and across the room, Sally perked up and listened in. Victoria was hoping that Summer’s boss would do it, but she understood that Angelina Marchetti might be booked up. Adam strolled in and said hello. Victoria suggested that Adam found his perfect match in Sally. Adam thought it seemed that Victoria and Ashland had. He was happy for them.

The waiter showed Adam and Sally to their table. She noted that he got a kick out of letting everyone know their barbs didn’t get to him. He said it was a game, and you develop thick skin. She thought she could learn a lot from him. Sally was glad she and Adam downshifted from a date to a working dinner, so they could ignore all those “what not to do on a date” things. She said she wore her comfy shoes, and he was twenty minutes late. Glancing under the table, he said those weren’t comfy shoes, and he was sorry for being late. She told him it was fine, it was better than him bailing, and she guessed there was pressure on him to do that. She said it wasn’t her first time hanging out with an SOB – son of a billionaire who didn’t realize he was one until he grew up. Adam was surprised to hear that, and Sally said there were more of them than he thought, and they could start a club.

Sally told Adam about a time she manipulated the Forresters when she was in L.A. They included her designs in their collection because they thought she was dying. She admitted she was wrong to do it, but it didn’t hurt anyone, and her designs were good. Adam commented on Sally praising her own work. She said Ridge and Eric wouldn’t have included her designs if they weren’t good, and if the designs had actually made it down the runway, they would’ve all made a lot of money. She refused to be humble about her career – she was a good designer, with an unfortunate tenancy to get in her own way. She thought he could relate. He admitted she was right.

Adam made a couple comments on the dress Sally designed for Victoria; all complimentary. She thought he made just enough commentary to prove this was a working dinner in case anyone asked. He asked if she wanted him to say something else. She was curious why he agreed to come here since they agreed it wasn’t a date, but the work-related conversation they had only lasted five minutes. He said he was here for the scintillating conversation. She suggested that he was hoping the news of this non-date would get back to someone in particular and make them jealous. He suggested she was hoping Jack would hear about it. She said she hadn’t thought about Jack once since this dinner started. She was too busy enjoying herself, and whether or not he admitted it, she thought he had been too.

Nate entertained everyone with a story about a wedding he’d been at, where it momentarily looked like the groom had been stood up, but in reality, the bride had just twisted her ankle on her way to the altar. Nate had taped up her ankle, and the wedding went forward. Ashland thought Nate sounded like the guy to have on hand in a crisis. That reminded Nate of something that happened when he was a groomsman, but Elena didn’t think that Victoria and Ashland needed to hear more wedding horror stories. Victoria admitted she could tell a few of her own, but she was determined that her day with Ashland would be perfect.

Elena and Victoria connected over a shared love of cooking podcasts. Elena didn’t know Victoria liked to cook. Victoria clarified that she hated it, and she was terrible at it, but Ashland said Victoria made a fine grilled cheese. Victoria liked the fantasy of creating the perfect dish. Elena was an okay cook, and she kind of enjoyed it, but she didn’t have that time. She thought her old roommate would be appalled by how she was eating lately, but Nate thought Lola would be impressed by how Elena was spending her time making a difference in people’s lives. The ladies went to freshen up, and Ashland observed that Nate knew how lucky he was to have Elena. Nate confirmed that he did.

Ashland showed Nate pictures of Harrison eating gelato. He asked if Nate had kids. Nate hoped to someday, but he’d learned you couldn’t make firm plans in your personal life. That made Ashland ask if Nate had been married before. Nate had been engaged once, but she passed away. Ashland now understood why Nate didn’t react to his diagnosis like others did. He said Nate didn’t have that squeamishness or distance. Ashland thought that was because Nate had gone through his own personal loss and grief, and he didn’t see it as foreign or frightening. Elena and Victoria returned and watched from a distance as the guys talked. Victoria said Nate stepped up in a big way for Ashland. She thought he was a good man. Elena agreed.

Elena and Nate went to Victoria and Ashland’s home. The men retired to the living room, and Nate asked if Victoria’s kids were going to Italy for the wedding. Ashland hoped so. Tuscany was so beautiful in the fall, and he hoped they got to see it. Nate recalled taking a trip there with his mother when he was young. He saw a lot of Europe in boarding school, but he hadn’t been since then. Ashland knew this might be a bit presumptuous, but he asked Nate to be his best man. Nate was startled and asked if Ashland was sure – they just met. Ashland was able to size people up quickly, and Nate was a brilliant and kind man who understood what Ashland was going through. Nate was sure Ashland had friends in NY. Ashland said most of the relationships he had in NY were of a professional, not personal nature. Frankly, most people were having a having a difficult time with his medical situation. He asked Nate to consider it.

Later, after drinks, Elena and Nate got up to leave. All had enjoyed themselves. Ashland asked Nate to get back to him, and Nate said he would. Victoria saw the guests out, and Ashland showed his exhaustion. Victoria came back and asked if he was okay. He said he might have to take it easy tomorrow, but it was worth it for a day like this. She hoped they had many more like this. She cuddled against him, and he kissed kissed her.

Lauren dropped by Jack’s place. Michael was working late on the Sutton Ames trial, so Lauren decided to see if Jack wanted to have dinner. He didn’t want to go out, but he suggested Chinese takeout. He had spicy beef, and she had cashew chicken. He reported that Summer sent a video of Harrison helping her cook in an outdoor pizza oven. He marveled at how easily Harrison adapted. Lauren said that he must miss his mom. He said the one authentic thing about Tara was that she was committed to her little boy. He regretted pressuring Phyllis to lay off Tara and Sally. Lauren said their dear friend had a gift for reading people. He added that Summer and Kyle owed their happiness to Phyllis. Jack’s fortune cookie predicted that good things were ahead for his love life. He wasn’t sure what would happen for him, but he was glad Kyle and Summer were happy together. He said they were planning a small wedding ceremony in Italy, nothing on the scale of what Ashland and Victoria had planned. He was glad that Kyle and Summer scaled back their plans a bit. He thought they learned that they already had everything they needed to be happy without all the extras. Lauren asked if Jack had everything he needed to be happy.

Jack thought Lauren was going to stop pestering him about his romantic life. She noted that she never agreed to that. She was sure the house must be quiet without Kyle and Harrison. He said he’d been looking forward to having a happy little kid like Harrison around for Halloween and other holidays. Lauren suggested they might visit. He knew he’d still have to get used to the quiet and all the extra time he had on his hands. He did have Jabot and the Abbott-Winters Foundation. She thought he needed something to pour his heart into, and it didn’t have to be romantic. He said he’d concluded that he had his share of grand passions. Being a grandpa really fed his heart. He could interact with Harrison on the phone, but it wasn’t the same. Lauren thought Jack made the idea of being a grandparent sound appealing, not that her sons were close to settling down. Jack said the day would come, and Lauren would love it.

Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem Update

"Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem"

Update written by Joseph

Eli, Lani, Abe, and Paulina have lunch on the beach. Paulina says it’s her treat and tells them to just enjoy the view. Lani comments on the people watching while Paulina remarks that you never know who is going to show up at your table. Two men then approach the table and demand the ring. Abe asks what’s going on as one of the men pull out a gun. Paulina says she knows exactly what’s going on as a similar thing happened to a friend of hers in Beverly Hills. Paulina tells the thieves that they are not taking her ring as it was a gift from her close friend Michelle. Paulina refuses to hand over the ring. The man warns that he’s a highly trained mercenary and threatens to blow her head off.

John and Marlena greet Anna and Tony at the auction in Zurich. Anna jokes about the language and says that Carrie and Austin are the main reason they are here. Marlena says they are going to try to see them tomorrow. Anna never thought of John as the auction house kind of guy. John says he figured he’d try to find something in his price range but Anna warns it will be expensive here. Marlena asks if they are here for something specific or just browsing. Anna shows them the picture of the sapphire necklace which is the same one they came for. John asks to talk to Anna for a second.

Chad suggests leaving the Penthouse suite when Will doesn’t answer but they are shocked when Sonny’s ex Leo Stark answers the door. Leo jokes that Sonny doesn’t seem happy to see him and questions if Sonny is cheating on Will with Chad. Leo invites them in to have room service. Leo jokes that Sonny has traded up. Sonny yells at Leo that this isn’t a joke. Will then comes out from the back, surprised to see that Sonny is there.

After Billie drags Ben away, a man approaches Ciara to ask her a few questions.

Ben tells Billie that he doesn’t know how the couple that bought the gem got away when they were just in front of them. Billie sees the man with Ciara as he says he wants to show something to her. As the man reaches in to his jacket, Billie assumes he has a gun and rushes back over to tackle him. Ben runs up to check on Ciara as the man tells Billie that he doesn’t have a gun, he was reaching for his badge. He reveals he is Agent Kyle Graham of the ISA and tells Billie that it’s nice to meet her.

John tells Anna that there is something she needs to know about the sapphire but the auction is about to begin. Anna thinks she knows everything she needs to know about the necklace so her and Tony head back inside. John tells Marlena that Anna seems happy to be here. Marlena comments that Anna will be bidding on the necklace and wonders if that’s a coincidence or if Anna and Tony are the people that Shane warned them about. John says Anna has done shady things in the past but he can’t imagine Tony doing that. John says they can’t let them get the necklace either way. Marlena points out that Anna won’t back down so she asks what to do. John says they will outbid her.

Billie finishes a call with her ISA contact, confirming Agent Kyle Graham’s identity. Billie argues that he should’ve identified himself before talking to her contacts and says he pissed her off. She asks what he’s even doing here. Kyle responds that he’s following orders as Shane sent him to be her backup. Billie argues that she doesn’t need help. Kyle questions if she identified the people arranging to buy the gem in the window. Billie explains that the owner sold it to a couple before she got to it which Kyle mocks. Billie insists that she’s got it and just needs until tonight to find out the couple. Kyle reveals that he’s one step ahead of her as he already knows who they are.

Leo swears it’s not what it looks like. Sonny turns around and punches Leo down. Will holds Sonny back as Sonny yells at him to get off of him. Will questions what Sonny is doing. Sonny accuses Will of cheating on him and complains about finding Will with Leo in his robe. Will assures that he hasn’t forgotten who Leo is and what he did. Chad encourages Sonny to let Will talk. Sonny asks Will what the hell this is then. Leo gets back up and tells Sonny that he’s sorry to say, Will only wants him for his Peacock.

The thieves continue to threaten Paulina over her ring. Paulina refuses to give it. Lani urges her to just give him the ring. Paulina cries that she loves it. The man asks if she loves the people at this table so Paulina gives in and hands over the ring then tells them to leave them alone. The two men rush off with the ring while Eli and Lani chase after them.

John and Marlena joke about the auction. The sapphire necklace then goes up for bidding, starting at 25,000 Euros from Anna. John bids 50,000. Anna asks Tony why John is bidding against her. Another man bids 75,000 so Marlena wonders if that’s the man that Shane warned them about. Anna bids 100,000. The official steps away as they have a bidder on the phone. Tony questions Anna’s bid. Anna insists that Austin is counting on them and Carrie’s marriage depends on it.

Austin looks at a picture of the sapphire necklace and remarks that he sure hopes Anna and Tony come through. Carrie comes in to the room and tells Austin that she decided to call Anna to make sure she and Tony got settled in, but she didn’t pick up, so she called the front desk and they have no record of Anna and Tony checking in.

Sonny questions Will as to what the hell the Peacock that Leo is referring to. Will explains that it’s a statue of a peacock that was stolen in Alamania 30 years ago and the statue was priceless. Chad questions that. Leo questions him never hearing of the Alamanian Peacock. Will explains that it included six gems but was stolen by Hope as Princess Gina. Will says the case went cold but recently, the peacock was recovered without the gems. Will adds that he got an anonymous tip that he could be led to one of the gems, the emerald, but when he showed up, he found Leo. Sonny questions Will meeting with Leo about an emerald this whole time. Will assures that he headed straight for the door when he saw Leo, but his information sounded legit as he knew enough details to convince him that he’s telling the truth. Will tells Sonny that Leo has been stringing him along for weeks, but yesterday he told him that he could lead him to the emerald so he swears this is the only reason he’s here. Leo remarks that this time, Will is telling the truth.

Billie asks Kyle who the couple is that bought the gem from the shop. Kyle informs her that they are Miles and Sophie Faversham who live in a mansion in the garden district and they’ve been making inquiries but he doesn’t know how they knew the amethyst gem was on the market. Billie recognizes the last name from Lili Faversham. Kyle confirms that they are her grandson and his wife. Ben asks who Lili is. Billie mentions that she knew Princess Gina. Kyle says there is nothing legit about this purchase. Billie adds that there is a network behind this. Kyle says they need to get the broach back and he knows just where to do it as the Favershams are having a party tomorrow. Billie suggests she go dressed as Princess Gina but Kyle warns that it will be very risky. Kyle mentions that he does have a lead on the emerald. Ciara points out that the Favershams know Princess Gina, but not her daughter.

Sonny questions Leo being Will’s source and asks if Will checks for hidden cameras when he comes over. Sonny can’t believe Will is trusting Leo after what he did to him. Will insists that he doesn’t trust Leo and that he’s a slimy informant who has been milking him for everything he can get. Will complains that Leo promised him a source today but then hit him up for a massage. Sonny questions why Will didn’t just tell him instead of sneaking around. Will worried that Sonny would freak out if he knew he was dealing with Leo. Sonny complains that’s because Leo is going to con Will, just like he did to him and he’s going to get blackmailed. Leo reminds them of when they stuffed him in the trunk of a car. Sonny questions Will really thinking Leo has a source and argues that no one would trust him with where to find a stolen emerald. Will gives in and says Sonny wins so they should go home. Leo tells them to go ahead but Chad stops them and says not to go quite yet.

Billie asks what Ciara is talking about. Ciara brings up Princess Gina having a daughter named Greta, so she can pass herself off as her. Kyle argues that the last thing they need is to involve a civilian. Billie argues that Ciara’s parents were great cops, so she thinks she would be fine. Ciara adds that she knows everything there is to know about Princess Gina so they can’t trip her up. Kyle calls it highly unusual but feels they have no choice. Billie says the party is invitation only, but they can get her on the guest list. Ciara asks if she can bring Ben. Ben is unsure but Ciara insists that Greta wouldn’t show up without an escort. Billie says they can just do some ballroom dancing. Ben is unsure of that but Billie encourages that it’s their honeymoon. Billie says to leave it to her and suggests she and Kyle show them some moves. Kyle responds that he doesn’t dance so Billie says she will do the dancing for the both of them.

The auction continues as Anna bids 425,000 Euros. John then bids 450,000. Anna complains that John and Marlena know she wants the necklace so she asks Tony why John is bidding against her. Tony suggests Austin buy Carrie some flowers instead of a necklace for half a million Euros. Anna calls that dumb. The man up front bids 475,000 but then someone whispers to the official and he declares they must stop the action. He calls security to remove the man up front as John wonders if that was the guy Shane warned about.

Abe tells Paulina that Lani and Eli know what they are doing and encourages her to breathe. Paulina complains about the man holding a gun on Lani. Abe calls for police backup while Paulina remains panicked and prays for nothing to happen to her baby. Eli and Lani chase the thieves. Eli manages to tackle one of them, while the other one turns and fires a shot at Lani.

Austin tells Carrie that it is strange that the hotel doesn’t have a record of Anna and Tony checking in. Austin suggests they used another name. Carrie questions why they would do that. Austin points out that the DiMera name is notorious because of Stefano. Carrie says Anna has no problem but Austin suggests Tony might have thought better of it. Carrie comments that Anna always gets what she wants. Carrie decides to go to the hotel to make sure everything is okay.

Anna asks Marlena why John is bidding against her when he knows she’s not going to stop. Marlena explains that they weren’t actually bidding against her. Anna clarifies that she’s not bidding on the necklace for herself, but for Austin so he can give it to Carrie and then she’ll forgive him and they’ll be happy again. Marlena questions Austin and Carrie not being happy. Anna says that might have been indiscreet. Anna asks them to just bid on something else for Carrie’s sake. Marlena is afraid they can’t do that but clarifies that they aren’t bidding for themselves either. Marlena reveals that John is working undercover for the ISA to retrieve the necklace and that he was trying to explain that to her when the auction began. Marlena asks if now Anna understands. Tony says of course they do and tells Anna to stop bidding. Marlena thanks Tony as the auction is then resumed.

Lani dodges the shots fired and the man takes off. Lani takes the gun off the man that Eli tackled and holds the gun on him while Eli chases after the other man. Paulina calls out asking if Lani is alright. Lani assures that she’s fine. Abe adds that he has called this in. Eli comes back, revealing the man got away and he only got the end of his license plate. Paulina yells at the first man, asking who put him up to this. He asks why he should tell her. Eli warns that he’s a police officer, so he better tell him as he asks who he works for.

Chad warns Leo that his last name is DiMera and his family has a very long history of dealing with informants and people who don’t deliver on their promises, so he suggests this would a very good moment for Leo to be completely forthcoming. Chad asks if Will had any questions for Leo. Will tells Leo that he booked this hotel room to meet with his contact and asks if there is such a person and when they will get here. Leo swears that there is but he can’t get them here today, but he can tomorrow. Will refuses to pay for another night here. Chad advises Will to not let Leo out of his sight. Leo guesses that means he’s coming home with them and jokes that it’s a sleepover.

Billie plays music on her phone and begins ballroom dancing with Kyle in front of Ben and Ciara and a crowd of spectators. Everyone applauds as they finish.

Lani asks the man who he works for but he refuses to talk. Eli asks what if Lani shoots him. He argues that he knows as cops that they won’t. Paulina wishes she could. Eli suggests maybe he’ll start talking when he realizes no one is going to bail him out.

Ciara praises Billie’s ballroom dancing. Billie says it helps to have a great partner and admits she did not expect that out of Kyle. Ciara jokes that she and Ben should go practice that. Billie says she will work on getting on the guest list and notes that Ben still needs a cover. Billie then gets an idea and gives Ciara her tiara, noting that the people will need to believe she is Princess Greta von Amberg.

Sonny remarks that he hates this idea on 15 different levels. Leo says he’ll get dressed while they figure this out. Leo comments to Chad that every relationship has ups and downs as he steps out. Chad apologizes to Sonny and Will for butting in. Sonny says he’s not mad at Chad. Sonny asks if Will has any idea how much he’s asking him to put up with. Will says it’s only for one night and he really believes that Leo does have a contact. Will adds that it could be a major story for him. Will promises to make it up to Sonny. Sonny says he owes him a lot more than just one night. Sonny complains about thinking Will was cheating on him this whole time. Will is sorry and never wanted Sonny to doubt him. Will promises to take a few weeks off after this story and says they can take the trip to Paris that they talked about. Sonny jokes that this is emotional blackmail but admits it’s kind of working.

The auction official announces that the man who was escorted out was there under false pretenses so the last official bid was 450,000 from John. He prepares to call it but Anna bids 500,000. Tony questions what she’s doing. Anna declares that she’s winning that necklace. John can’t find his paddle to raise a bid but finds that Anna stole it as Tony unintentionally raises it up, bidding 525,000 and the necklace is sold to him.

Eli and Lani rejoin Paulina and Abe at Paulina’s house. They explain that the man was booked for armed robbery but he’s still not talking. Eli says they are sorry but Paulina says she’s the one who should be sorry as she promised them glitz and glamour and ended up with a man taking off with her ring. Lani tells her not to worry as they will find out who did this. Eli promises they will get her ring back.

Austin stops Carrie and asks her not to go. Austin pretends that he just got a text from Tony, claiming the hotel didn’t have a room with a view so they switched hotels. Carrie admits that makes sense and decides she will call Anna but Austin continues claiming that Tony said they were exhausted and going to sleep so they will see them tomorrow. Carrie decides to get ready for bed then. Austin says he will too after he responds to Tony’s text. Carrie then exits to the bedroom. Austin remarks that he dodged that bullet and goes back to looking at the picture of the sapphire necklace.

Tony tells John and Marlena that he had nothing to do with this as he returns John’s paddle. Anna retrieves the sapphire necklace and exits with Tony. Marlena asks John what he will tell Shane.

Ben and Ciara return to their hotel room. Ciara asks if they should start practicing dancing. Ben says he’ll need all the practice he can get after watching Billie and Kyle. They kiss and then Ben jokes that he’s never danced with a princess before. Ciara says that makes him her Prince Charming. Ben adds that he’s never made love to a princess before either. Ciara says there’s a first time for everything as they continue kissing onto the bed.

Will asks if Sonny can put up with Leo for a night. Sonny repeats that he doesn’t like this and he doesn’t trust Leo, but he knows to keep his enemies close. Leo jokes about riding in the trunk and asks Chad to grab his bags for him. Sonny reminds Chad that it was his big idea as they exit.

Update written by Joseph

After rescuing Julie from the freezer, Jack wants to take Julie to the emergency room. Julie refuses to go anywhere until they find Doug. Jack promises that they will but Julie asks how when he’s not answering his phone. Julie then declares that she thinks she knows what happened.

Kayla tells Steve that she doesn’t get why Bonnie isn’t coming to get ready. Steve explains that she said she got hung up getting a manicure and said it’d be easier to get ready here. Steve adds that he’s calling because Bonnie needs her makeup bag. Kayla guesses they are on their way then and hangs up. Justin asks what’s going on with Bonnie. Kayla responds that she has no idea.

Xander informs Gwen that Bonnie came by to invite him to the wedding, saying she wanted him to represent the Kiriakis family since the others refused to attend. Xander says he thought it was odd but she reminded him that she volunteered to be Sarah’s maid of honor at the last minute. Gwen wonders if it was all just pretense so she could come in and steal the million dollars from the briefcase. Xander says he would, except he saw her leave without it.

Bonnie demands Calista give her the gun. Calista says she’s sorry but she’s not getting the gun. Calista then turns the gun to Bonnie and declares that she’s getting the bullet. Bonnie asks what she’s talking about since she gave her the money. Calista complains that Bonnie stole her husband’s life so now she is going to pay with her’s. Bonnie argues that she can’t do this on her wedding day. Calista tells Bonnie to forget about becoming Bonnie Kiriakis and declares that today, she dies.

Xander says Bonnie must have taken the money since she was the only person there before EJ came. Xander mentions that he checked the briefcase once an hour to make sure it was there. Gwen questions what happened if Bonnie didn’t leave with it. Xander thinks back to Bonnie’s visit and realizes the key card is not where he left it, so Bonnie must have swiped it and got back into the room to steal his money. Xander declares that Bonnie will rue the day that she crossed him.

Bonnie pleads that Calista can’t shoot her as she doesn’t know the whole story. Calista says all she needs to know is that Bonnie killed her husband. Bonnie argues that she did everything she asked and got her a million dollars. Bonnie asks what more she wants. Calista calls it an eye for an eye. Bonnie argues that she hasn’t thought this through and asks what about when Xander comes after her since he will figure it out. Calista argues that Xander will pin Bonnie for stealing the money. Bonnie says she will tell him the truth but Calista points out that she’ll be dead. Bonnie brings up EJ and the DiMeras, suggesting she take the money and run. Calista says this will only take a minute.

Julie tells Jack that Doug locked her in the freezer to protect her since there was a robbery nearby so she worries that Doug has been kidnapped.

Doug is at the Brady Pub, ordering a burger and fries from Roman.

Gwen tells Xander to slow down asks why Bonnie would steal a million dollars from him when she’s just about to marry a multi-millionaire. Gwen questions how Bonnie even knew Xander had the money. Xander decides he’s going to show up at her wedding and find out. Gwen blames herself, saying it’s all her fault because Xander confessed to her crime and now he’s tangled up with EJ with the money gone as well as his job. Gwen notes that he did all this because he tried to protect her. Xander says it was his choice, but asks Gwen not to tell Jack that she had her miscarriage before Abigail pushed her down the stairs because if she does that, everything he’s done will be for nothing.

The wedding officiant arrives at the Kiriakis Mansion and asks if he’s in the right place. Steve assures that he is. He sees the photos of Justin and Adrienne then assumes it’s a remarriage but Steve explains that it’s not a remarriage. He questions the photos so Steve explains that it’s not Bonnie, but his late sister Adrienne. He questions if Justin fell in love with Adrienne’s twin. Steve guesses he’s wondering what he got himself into. He responds that life can be complicated. Steve hopes that all the drama is behind them now that the wedding day is finally here.

Bonnie tells Calista that she can’t kill her and warns her about Victor. Calista argues that Victor wouldn’t even come to her wedding so she bets he doesn’t care. Bonnie reminds her that Steve is downstairs and will catch her so she will lose her money and go to prison. Calista responds that she knows how to get away with murder because she watched her. Calista declares that she will use a silencer so no one will know it happened or care.

Julie tells Jack that they have to call the police. Jack thinks she may be getting carried away. Julie worries that Doug is in danger. Jack thinks there could be other explanations. Jack asks if it’s possible they had a fight. Julie says of course not but notes that Doug was miffed when she changed out his espresso for tea. Julie then admits that they had a small fight and Doug can show his temper when his blood sugar gets low. Jack suggests maybe Doug decided they needed to cool off a little bit and asks if that’s possible. Julie guesses it is but questions where Doug would go when he’s 96 years old and couldn’t get far on foot. Julie declares that she’s going to go find him and rushes out of Julie’s Place.

Roman asks Doug where Julie is since he never sees them here alone. Doug responds that Julie is very busy, watching his cholesterol. Doug says he prefers good red meat and fries. Doug makes sure Roman won’t tell her about this. Roman agrees not to tell Julie as Doug has a beer. Doug says that’s awfully nice of him and accidentally calls him John. Roman corrects him but says it’s not the first time since John went by his name for the better part of a decade. Doug says those were wild days when everyone thought Roman was dead and John got back together with Vivian. Roman points out that he means Marlena. Doug questions how he could mix up Marlena with Vivian and remarks that he must be losing it as he calls him John again.

Gwen reminds Xander that she already told Jack that he was lying to protect her and she was the one running drugs or Dr. Snyder, so she can’t go back on that and Jack will be looking for answers. Xander encourages her to lie and asks if she will. Gwen questions lying to her father. Xander points out that if she tells Jack that she falsely blamed Abigail for her miscarriage which caused her to leave town and quite possibly destroyed her marriage, there’s a chance that Jack’s forgiveness wore thin. Gwen argues that she’s his daughter too. Xander asks how she thinks it will turn out if he blames her for losing his other daughter. Xander asks if she wants to throw everything with Jack away because of his reputation. Gwen feels that Xander doesn’t deserve this. Xander insists that he’ll be fine. Gwen points out that nobody has ever sacrificed so much for her before. Xander responds that she’s worth it.

Julie returns to Julie’s Place and tells Jack that one of the cooks saw Doug walking out the front door and he kept on walking when she waved. Julie gets a call from Roman. Julie tells him that she can’t talk now because Doug is missing. Roman informs her that he’s not missing, he’s at the Pub. Julie lets Jack know and is relieved as she’s been worried sick. Julie tells Roman to tell Doug to come back to Julie’s Place immediately. Roman thinks it would be better if she came here.

The wedding officiant mentions to Steve that he didn’t eat lunch, assuming that a wedding at the Kiriakis Mansion would have a big spread, so Steve sends him to the kitchen to eat. Justin and Kayla then arrive. Steve mentions not seeing Bonnie since she went upstairs with Calista. Kayla decides she will go see what’s going on.

Calista asks Bonnie if she’s ready to go to Hell. Bonnie says they will see who goes there first as she grabs the gun and they struggle over it, until the gun goes off and Calista is shot. Calista then collapses onto the bed.

Julie and Jack go to the Brady Pub to find Doug. Julie is thankful that he’s alright. Doug says she caught him in the act as he needed some meat. Julie says she doesn’t care about the burger. Doug invites her to join him and orders beers on him. Julie clarifies that she didn’t come to drink even though her blood still needs to be thawed out after he locked her in the freezer and walked away. Doug questions her and says he would never do that. Julie explains that he did and she had to call Jack to rescue her. Doug is glad she’s safe but thinks she’s confusing him with someone else and asks if she’s sure she’s okay. Jack suggests he and Doug get Julie home. Doug points out that he hasn’t finished his burger and he wanted a piece of cake. Roman says he’ll wrap it all up.

Steve offers Justin a shot of whiskey for his nerves. Justin claims he’s not nervous, but worried about Bonnie since she’s been real jittery since Calista showed up. Justin mentions them planning to have breakfast but she took off on some errand without a word and then didn’t show up at Kayla’s. Steve adds that Bonnie was definitely jittery when she got here this morning. Justin brings up that Kayla said Bonnie seemed really upset last night about Calista but she didn’t want to talk about it. Steve confirms that Kayla told him the same. Steve remarks that Calista is quite the character as she made a pass at him. Steve adds that Calista was very cagey about being asked questions and asks if Justin knows much about her. Justin admits he doesn’t as Bonnie never mentioned her before she showed up. Justin hopes that Calista will disappear to where she came from when the wedding is over.

Bonnie begins to panic as Calista is dead. Kayla knocks on the door. Bonnie cries that this can’t be happening. Bonnie tells Kayla that she’s not decent. Kayla asks if she needs help getting ready. Bonnie claims she’s good but Kayla doesn’t think so since she has her makeup bag. Bonnie tells her to just leave it there. Kayla reminds her that she’s the matron of honor so it’s her job to help her get ready. Kayla then begins to open the door.

Jack and Julie get Doug home and to bed. Julie tells Jack that Doug didn’t get any sleep last night which is why he was a little off. Jack informs her that Roman told him that Doug called him John earlier. Julie blows it off as being confusing for years. Jack adds that Doug also confused Marlena and Vivian. Jack knows nobody wants to think about this, but he thinks Doug should see a doctor. Julie tells him not to even say that as he’s just tired and needs some rest, then he’ll be fine.

Xander asks what Gwen will tell Jack. Gwen says she doesn’t know. Gwen adds that one positive is that Jack won’t think Xander is a drug runner anymore, so he won’t get in the way of them potentially seeing one another. Xander asks if that’s what she wants. Gwen says maybe, but he needs to go get his money now and she needs to think about what she’s going to say to Jack. Xander stops Gwen and kisses her. Gwen asks what that was for. Xander says it was for luck as Gwen then exits.

Justin looks at a photo of he and Adrienne and says part of him can’t believe he’s going through with this. Justin knows that Steve thought he was crazy or that he was only attracted to Bonnie because she reminded him of Adrienne. Justin says at first he was right, even though they couldn’t be any more different. Justin declares that right now he’s not looking for another Adrienne, he just wants to be able to live and laugh again. Justin says if he wasn’t confident that Bonnie has turned her life around, there’s no way he could ever get past what she did to Adrienne. Justin adds that he’s done a lot of things he’s not proud of. Justin knows it took a lot for Steve to agree to be his best man and he appreciates his support. Steve just wants Justin to be happy. Justin says that’s the plan.

Kayla enters the bedroom and asks Bonnie what happened. Bonnie claims a pillow just exploded. Kayla asks about Calista. Bonnie claims that Calista said she wasn’t feeling well and just keeled over. Kayla offers to examine her but Bonnie says she can’t. Kayla questions why not. Bonnie claims she already knows what’s wrong since Calista had mimosas for breakfast and started puking. Bonnie says she finally fell asleep so she doesn’t want to wake her. Kayla relates to the feeling after drinking last night. Kayla comments that Calista might sleep through the wedding when she came all this way for the occasion. Kayla asks if Bonnie is alright. Bonnie claims that she is but Kayla notes her shaking and asks about her broken nail.

Steve pours drinks for he and Justin as they toast to the light being back in Justin’s eyes. The wedding officiant comes back in and praises the food from the kitchen. He’s happy to see there is two people now but warns that it’s getting late and he has another gig, so he asks if they are starting soon. Justin says he sure hopes so.

Bonnie guesses she lost her nail when Calista fell over and she tried to catch her Bonnie starts crying about nothing going right on the most important day of her life. Kayla asks if she’s sure she is alright. Bonnie says Justin is the best thing to ever happen to her and she just wants to marry him before something else goes wrong. Kayla says she will but they need to take care of some rituals first. Kayla suggests Bonnie get in to her dress so she can get married.

Jack tells Julie that she and Doug have been married for more than half of their lives so she doesn’t want to think about it but it could be something treatable or it could be nothing at all. Jack thinks they should get him checked out so she will have peace of mind. Jack thinks Julie should get checked out after being in the freezer too. Julie declares that she’s not going anywhere and neither is Doug.

Steve warns Justin that if they don’t get started, he’s worried that the justice of the peace will move on so he’s going to check on the ladies. Kayla then enters the room with Bonnie. Steve asks Kayla about Calista. Kayla responds that she’s indisposed. Justin asks if Bonnie is ready. Bonnie says she’s more ready than she’s been in her entire life.

Jack sits with Julie as Gwen comes home. Gwen didn’t expect him back so soon and hopes Julie is okay. Julie is sure Gwen was praying that she would turn in to a popsicle. Julie decides to go check on Doug and exits the room. Gwen asks Jack what is wrong with Doug. Jack responds that they are not exactly sure.

Justin and Bonnie’s wedding ceremony begins. When it’s asked if anyone has any objections, Bonnie imagines Calista interrupting.

Gwen asks if Jack thinks Doug has dementia. Jack says he doesn’t know but Julie is in denial that anything is wrong. Gwen insists that she’s really sorry and that Doug is a good person. Jack asks what Gwen was going to tell her before Julie called about Dr. Snyder holding something over her to make her run drugs for him. Gwen wants to talk about it another time but Jack says now. Gwen notes how worried he is about Doug and says she has to run an errand. Jack points out that she just got home. Gwen says she won’t be long and she’s sorry as she rushes out of the house.

Justin asks Bonnie if something is wrong but she says no and the ceremony continues. When it’s asked if anyone has any objections, Xander arrives and declares that he has an objection. Justin asks what the hell he’s doing here. Xander responds that Justin’s bride stole a million dollars from him and he wants it back. Justin tells him to leave now. Xander guarantees that Justin is going to want to hear this and he might even thank him. Kayla asks what this is about. Xander explains that he had a briefcase full of cash in his room that has gone missing and the only person who could’ve taken it was Bonnie. Justin asks why Bonnie would be in his room. Xander says he could think of one million reasons, but suggests asking her. Justin asks if Bonnie went to Xander’s room. Bonnie admits she did but claims it was to invite him to the wedding because he’s family, so she thought inviting his cousin would be a nice surprise. Xander says the only surprise was her running off with all his cash, but notes that with her history, it shouldn’t be that much of a surprise. The justice of a peace decides to give them some time. Kayla remarks on Xander’s new habit of crashing private parties with scandalous claims. Xander points out that in the case of Eric and Nicole, he merely stated facts and that party is relevant because that’s how he earned the million dollars in question and his claim was true then, just as it is now. Xander asks Bonnie if that’s right.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sharon: Hey, you two. That’s a nice surprise.

Mariah: Well, it wouldn’t feel like home if I didn’t come to crimson lights and have my special, so…

Sharon: Well, welcome home, sweetheart. Your favorite’s coming right up. Did you, uh, manage to have a nice time at abby’s?

Mariah: Uh, yeah. Yeah, sure.

Tessa: It was really nice. Abby went all out, of course, because that’s what she always does.

Sharon: Um, hey, mariah, what size drink do you want?

Tessa: Mariah?

Sharon: Uh, I know. Uh, how about I surprise you with my world-famous special double mocha? Mariah? What’s wrong?

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Abby: I am happy to report that the man of the hour is napping.

Devon: Oh, that’s good. I can’t blame him. It’s got to be exhausting being the center of attention like that.

Abby: Well, you got to admit, he’s pretty good at it.

Devon: He’s great at it, actually.

[ Both laugh ]

Abby: Now I am going to break in my new baby monitor.

Devon: Nice. Very nice. That party was a lot of fun. I think everybody had a really good time.

Abby: Even mariah?

Devon: What do you mean?

Abby: I feel like she’s going through a hard time — and not just with the kidnapping. And I could be off, but I’m sensing that you’re going through a hard time, too?

Moses: Faith.

Faith: Hi, moses.

Moses: Good news?

Faith: I got a text from mariah’s girlfriend. They’re at crimson lights.

Moses: Oh, so they finally let her out of the hospital?

Faith: I cannot wait to see her. Do you want to come with me?

Moses: Oh, no. I don’t want to get in the way of your family reunion.

Faith: No, you wouldn’t be. I want mariah to get to know you.

Moses: Yeah, but after everything she’s been through, I’m sure she just wants to be around people she’s close with right now.

Faith: Yeah. You’re right. I hadn’t thought about that.

Moses: But I’ll catch up with you afterward.

Faith: What will you do while you wait?

Moses: Maybe I’ll start brainstorming. I did promise you that I’d come up with a cool idea for our first date.

Faith: Then I’ll see you soon.

Adam: [ Breathes deeply ]

[ Knock on door ]

[ Sighs ] Okay. What are you going to try to arrest me for this time?

Rey: Glad we’re getting off to a good start.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Well, I’m happy to have a do-over if, uh — what is this? That’s connor’S.

Rey: Yeah. I’m returning it.

[ Cap thuds ] I ran into him in the park earlier. I hadn’t seen him since we got back from minnesota. Told me how much fun he’d had at lacrosse camp. Anyhow, when he took off with his nanny, I noticed he’d forgotten his cap.

Adam: Uh-huh. I remember when I bought this for connor. He wouldn’t take it off for a week. He slept in it, took a bath in it. It’s his favorite. He would, uh, be crushed if he lost it.

Rey: Well, crisis averted.

Adam: Mm. I’m sure that he’ll want to thank you.

Rey: It’s not a problem.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Hey, and my dad told me about what happened to mariah and how you helped track her down. Sounds like you deserve some major props.

Rey: Devon hamilton’s the real hero. Make a pretty good detective. He had a feeling about stitch, and he never let it go.

Adam: Well, I had no idea that things had gotten so far off course.

Rey: You say that as if you were expecting updates. Why would you think you’re part of the inner circle?

Adam: Because I care?

Rey: About mariah or about sharon?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, would you look at that. That is the longest conversation we’ve had without sharon coming up. Sure was nice while it lasted, rey, but your jealousy is constant.

Devon: No, abby. If it ever seems like I’m going through a hard time, it’s really just ’cause I’m trying to figure out the best way to support you.

Abby: Well, you’re my friend, like always.

Devon: Yeah. I know. But you’re a new mom, and you have a baby for the first time. And that’s — you know, that’s uncharted territory for you.

Abby: I’m still the same person.

Devon: Okay, well, say that to me at 4:00 in the morning when you’ve had no sleep.

Abby: Be serious.

Devon: I am being very serious. I — you know, you’ve —

[ Sighs ] You’ve waited for this moment for a long time, and now your son is here, um, but chance isn’T. And, you know, you’re gonna have to figure out how to be a parent without your partner, at least for the time being.

Abby: Women have had babies with or without partners for centuries.

Devon: But it doesn’t make things any easier for you. And I don’t know how to be. I don’t want to burden you by being over here too much. And at the same time, I don’t want to just leave you hanging, so…

Abby: You could never be a burden. I want you to be over here anytime that you want to be over here. You’re my best friend. And I can talk to you about things that I can’t talk about with mariah or nina or even my mom.

Devon: Yeah?

Abby: Definitely. And I hope that doesn’t change because of all of this. I mean, I hope you don’t start hiding things from me or being afraid that I’m overwhelmed.

Devon: Open and honest. It’s a deal.

Abby: Yeah.

Sharon: So? What’s the verdict?

Mariah: This tastes… exactly the same, which is incredibly reassuring.

Sharon: Well, that’s good to know. But you still haven’t answered my question about what’s going on with you.

Mariah: Oh, that? I just spaced out earlier. It’s really nothing. Everything’s been such a whirlwind since abby and devon found me in that room.

Sharon: I can tell when something’s on your mind. I mean, if you’re not ready to talk about it, um — you know, I am your mother, so there’s no reason to hold back.

Mariah: I have been struggling to get on top of my emotions, yeah. Um… it’s been difficult, you know? I was just in that room for so long, you know, just bowie and me.

Sharon: Well, do you feel comfortable telling us more about how you spent your time?

Mariah: Yeah, um… I mostly talked to the baby. You know, I made promises. I promised that I was gonna keep him safe, that we were gonna make it out of it alive. There was no way that I was gonna break my word, so…

Tessa: That’s a lot of pressure to put on yourself, especially when you didn’t know what was happening.

Mariah: Well, it was my job. It was…more than a job. He was everything to me. He was my reason for living. And then a last-minute rescue, giving birth under crazy circumstances, being whisked to the hospital — it was all very intense and urgent. And then bowie — dominic — goes home with his mother. And now what?

Sharon: You bonded with that baby. And now you feel like something’s been taken from you. I brought in ensure max protein,

Devon: Some of those things you said about mariah have me a little bit concerned, though. What have you seen?

Abby: I was in the room with her and she woke up from a nightmare and she looked so lost. She was inconsolable, and — I don’t know — I just — I’ve been around her, and I feel like she’s just pretending to be okay when she’s really not.

Devon: I mean, that’s pretty understandable, given what she went through, you know?

Abby: I mean, she’s a strong woman, but what she went through — I mean, that would test anyone.

Devon: You think there’s more to it?

Abby: [ Sighs ] I don’t know. I-I can’t put my finger on it, but, I mean, I’m thinking about it, and she was locked in a tiny room. She was trying to protect dominic, and she had no one to talk to. She didn’t even know if anyone was looking for her.

Devon: I’m sure she felt like it was just her and that baby against the whole world.

Abby: Then she gives birth and she has to hand the baby over and — I mean, it’s got to be an overwhelming feeling.

Devon: I think that when stitch took her, he also took her away from all of her friends and her family that she actually wanted to spend time with, you know? I think she really wanted to make plans with you guys and go shopping for the baby and, you know, go to doctor’s appointments together ’cause those last few weeks of being pregnant — that’s an important time.

Abby: That’s true, yeah.

Devon: And even though she’s back and she’s safe, she still has some things to work through. But at least we know that it has nothing to do with you and it has nothing to do with the baby. It’s just about what stitch put her through.

Abby: I hope you’re right.

Devon: I mean, there’s a way to find out. You could just sit her down, have a face-to-face and see if she opens up to you. I actually think that she would really appreciate knowing how concerned you are.

Mariah: There’s a bond. It’s real. And I know I’m not supposed to. He’s not my baby. I — I know that.

Tessa: Love is never a bad thing. And feeling a bond — that’s okay, right?

Sharon: Of course.

Mariah: So, what am i supposed to do with all these feelings?

Sharon: You gave birth to that baby, and you have a connection that’s never gonna go away, that’s lifelong, you know? Only this is different because he’s abby’s son. But he wouldn’t be here without you.

Mariah: [ Sniffles ] I have to keep reminding myself that his name is not bowie.

Sharon: No, that — you don’T. You can call the little guy whatever you want because when he grows up, you can use that nickname, and it’ll be a special thing just between the two of you.

Tessa: I mean, it’s the coolest nickname ever. He’ll thank you.

Sharon: Right now, you need to do something, something for yourself. You need to go to abby and be honest with her about how you’re feeling.

Mariah: I — I don’t know if I can.

Sharon: It’s really important. You need to talk to her about this bond that you feel with the baby, this connection. You know what? She’s gonna be very supportive.

Mariah: Mom, I just don’t know.

Sharon: She knows what you did for her. She’s your friend. She wants what’s best for you.

Mariah: [ Sighs ] How is that you always have the best advice?

Faith: Mariah!

Sharon: Faith!

Mariah: Faith!

Faith: Tessa told me you were here. I missed you so much.

Mariah: Oh, I missed you, too.

Adam: Not everything in the world revolves around sharon. Abby is my sister. So that makes that little bundle of joy my nephew.

Rey: Oh. I forgot how close you and abby are, always hanging out.

Adam: And I do care about what happens to mariah.

Rey: Because she’s sharon’s daughter. Come on, man. Mariah wouldn’t even be on your radar if she wasn’t connected to sharon. It’s not like you have this reputation for caring about other people.

Adam: So, you’re saying that I should just hit the off switch on my feelings, that sharon doesn’t deserve any of my concern?

Rey: That’s not what I said.

Adam: But it’s exactly what you meant, rey. Okay, the history that sharon and I have — you can’t erase something like that. Sharon is the most decent, loving person that I know, and i only care about what is best for her and the people that matter to her. So, you can either accept that, or you can fly into a fit of rage every time that you hear my name, and we can go round and around in this circle until the end of time. It’s your call.

Frank is a fan of fast.

He’s a fast talker.

[ Laughter ]

Sharon: I’m surprised you didn’t want to get in on that over there.

Tessa: Well, I could say the same about you.

Sharon: I was tempted to join them, but I think they deserve this time together.

[ Laughter ]

Tessa: And that’s why.

Mariah: You do realize your pledge to torture and destroy stitch would get us both locked away forever?

Faith: [ Chuckles ]

Mariah: But I love how protective you are.

Faith: Where is he?

Mariah: Um… sorry. Uh, he’s gone. Yeah, and hopefully we will never have to be worried about him again.

Faith: Are you okay? Mom and dad didn’t tell me much because they don’t want me to freak out. But they don’t have to keep things from me.

Mariah: Cut them some slack. You had a rough year, alright?

Faith: But I survived. And I’m stronger because of it. I put all of that darkness behind me. And that is why I want to know what happened to you. We’re sisters. I want to help you.

Mariah: Alright. Why don’t we do a girls’ night really soon? And I will — I will tell you everything. I promise. Just not right this minute because it’s still a little fresh.

Faith: Whenever you’re ready. And don’t feel too pressured to move on. It’s not like you can just snap your fingers and make all those memories go away. Just focus on all of the people that care about you right now, and it’ll make it easier.

Mariah: Wow. You’ve changed in the short time that I was away.

Faith: [ Chuckles ] How?

Mariah: You’re more solid, positive, sure of things. Yeah.

Faith: [ Chuckles ]

Mariah: Would this have anything at all to do with moses?

Faith: [ Laughs ] It has so much to do with him, it’s crazy.

Devon: Alright. Thank you. I appreciate it. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I wish that, uh — I wish it were better news, too. That’s okay. We’ll do what we can. Alright. Take care.

Abby: Christine?

Devon: Yeah. It’s, uh — it’s not the update we were hoping for.

Abby: What did she say?

Devon: Chance has been forced to go even deeper undercover, and she hasn’t been able to get any messages to him.

Abby: Okay, well, um, that’s — that’s not the news that we wanted to hear, but, you know, things — things change so quickly.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: You know, I am — I am really trying to be patient. But chance deserves to know that his son was born, and that baby sleeping upstairs — he deserves to meet his father.

Devon: I know, abby. You just have to remember that there’s nothing that chance wants more than to come back here to you. Don’t forget that, okay?

Abby: I know. I know that. But it’s just so damn hard.

Devon: I know it is, and you know what? Maybe we just have to think about this in a different way. It might sound crazy, but maybe it’s a good thing that he doesn’t know about dominic being born.

Abby: I can’t believe that you’d say that.

Devon: If he’s had to go that deep undercover to where he can’t even get any messages, I imagine that things have gotten pretty intense for him. And if he were to find out that the baby was born, that might just completely distract him, take his head out of the game. You know? It might even make his situation even more dangerous. We don’t know. I just think that it’s probably best if we don’t make him feel any more guilty than he already feels about not being here for you.

Abby: You always know the right thing to say.

Rey: You got enough to worry about in your own family. You don’t need to insert yourself into anyone else’S.

Adam: What is that supposed to mean?

Rey: It means stop worrying about sharon’s daughter. Worry about your son.

Adam: Why is that? Because he lost his hat?

Rey: When I talked to him at the park, I could tell something was going on with him. You’re here. Chelsea’s out of the state. That can get confusing for a kid.

Adam: Look, my family situation is under control. Thank you very much.

Rey: Yeah? Do you have it under control? Because it didn’t sound that way to me.

Adam: Get out of my office, rey.

Rey: I will. But this needs to be said. Connor’s wondering when the three of you are gonna be a family again. He’s a smart kid. He can sense that things are different. Look, I’m not here to tell you how to handle your business. But I am here to tell you that things need handling. That should be your focus, not what’s going on in sharon’s life.

[ Door slams ] I order my groceries online now.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Faith: What’s going on here? Am I interrupting something?

Devon: That depends. I don’t know. How well do we know this — this young lady here to share with her what we’re talking about?

Moses: Ohh. You know, I’m not too sure, but maybe we should be a little vague with the detail, just in case.

Faith: You guys! What’s going on?

Devon: I was just telling moses here that I called his mom now that he’s decided to take a step back from pursuing a career in medicine.

Moses: Which was the sole reason she let me move to genoa city in the first place — to learn from nate.

Devon: Well, it’s not the only reason that she had you come out here. She also wanted you to be around the rest of your family — lily, me, and nate. But, uh, I told her that even though he’s not trying to be a doctor still, it’s gonna benefit a lot from learning the ropes of hamilton-winters.

Faith: So, does that mean…

Devon: Well, we don’t know if he’s sticking around yet ’cause his mom didn’t commit to anything on the phone. So it’s gonna be up to you, moses, to sell her that you want to stay here, if that is what you really want to do.

Moses: Yeah. That’s what I want.

Sharon: I’m glad you and faith got some time to catch up.

Mariah: Yeah, I wish I could bottle her, carry her around with me. She’s such a light.

Sharon: I know. I’m really proud of both of my girls. Is everything okay with tessa?

Mariah: Uh, yeah. She’s just, uh — she’s canceling her gig tonight. I told her it wasn’t necessary, but she wants to spend as much time with me as she can.

Sharon: And how do you feel about that?

Mariah: I hate it.

[ Laughs ] Don’t get me wrong. I’m grateful that she wants to take care of me, but we’ve worked so hard on her career up to this point, and I would really hate it if she started canceling gigs right now because of me.

Sharon: Well, you might have to be patient with all of us. We probably seem a little clingy right now, but that’s because when you disappeared, we were all really upset and frustrated for weeks, thinking that you were pushing us away. And then we realized that you were in real danger, we were kicking ourselves for not realizing that stitch had been manipulating us all this time.

Mariah: Yeah, I-I really don’t want you to feel guilty. I-I don’t want to have to keep reassuring people that I don’t blame them.

Sharon: Okay. I’ll do my best to stop blaming myself.

Mariah: Now that I talked to faith — uh, you and nick didn’t let her know how bad things had gotten.

Sharon: Uh, maybe it was naive to think I could try to protect her, but that was my instinct.

Mariah: You know, she’s growing up really fast. And she’s stronger than you think, so you should treat her that way.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Adam: Hey.

Sharon: Oh. Hi.

Adam: Mariah, I am so happy that you are safe and you’re back home where you belong.

Mariah: Thank you.

Adam: Did I say something wrong?

Mariah: Yeah, sorry if I’m a little tense around people like you right now, but I was just freed from the clutches of a madman who kidnapped me without a care for the life of an unborn baby because he wanted to win back a certain woman and get her to like him again.

[]

Adam: I am so sorry for everything that you’ve gone through. I was just trying to express some sympathy. I get that I’m not one of your favorite people.

Sharon: I know that he wouldn’t try to do anything to make you uncomfortable.

Mariah: [ Scoffs ]

Adam: I won’t interrupt you anymore.

Mariah: You don’t always have to take his side, you know.

Tessa: Is everything okay?

Sharon: Look, it’s over, okay? I wasn’t taking adam’s side. I was just trying to diffuse the tension. I know he’s trying to make a change, and it makes it harder when no one will let him.

Mariah: Point taken. How’d your phone call go?

Tessa: Uh, they wouldn’t let me out of the gig.

Mariah: Good, because I feel fine. I just need to get home and pump for the baby, like, immediately, so…

Sharon: Will you please let me know if you need anything?

Mariah: Yes. I will. I love you.

Sharon: I love you. What are you doing here? I thought you said that you were gonna keep your distance.

Adam: I’ve known for a while that I need to tell connor about what is going on with me and chelsea. So I came here to get your advice as his former therapist on how to go about that. But clearly that was a mistake. Guess I should have kept on walking.

Devon: I have to take off, but I want you to let me know the second you talk to your mom.

Moses: Yeah, I will.

Devon: Alright, and if she has any questions or concerns about your internship at hamilton-winters, just tell her to give me a call.

Moses: Yeah, I’ll call her today.

Devon: Alright?

Moses: Okay.

Devon: I’m glad you’re sticking around, man.

Moses: Thanks.

Devon: And I know I’m not the only one. See ya. Hey.

Mariah: Hey.

Devon: How you doing? You guys getting some fresh air?

Mariah: Uh, yeah, for a little bit, and then we got to head back to the chancellor house.

Tessa: Yeah, I got to run to the club to do my sound check for the gig tonight.

Mariah: Uh, how was the rest of the party?

Devon: It was — it was alright. It kind of died down after you left.

Tessa: Well, we are traditionally known as the life of the party, so no surprise there.

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Hey, I didn’t get a chance to say this to you earlier, um, but if you ever need a shoulder to lean on or anything like that, you know I’m here for you.

Mariah: Thank you. Yeah. But you’ve already done so much for me. And I never thanked you for everything you did to find me and supporting me through labor, no matter how much I screamed. Everything’s fine. Everything’s gonna be fine. I have the best support team in the world, you included. You’ll always be the guy who delivered my baby.

Tessa: Uh, well, I should get you home.

Devon: Is everything alright?

Mariah: Yeah. Uh, yeah. I just — I have to get home to pump for bow– for dominic. And, uh… you’ll always be a hero in my book.

Devon: Oh, come on. I was just in the right place at the right time. And, believe me, I’m damn glad that I was, but that doesn’t make me a hero. I just got lucky this time. But I’ve got stuff I struggle with, just like everybody else.

When you really need to sleep

Faith: Moses, this talk with your mom isn’t just a normal phone call. This is the most important phone call of your entire life.

Moses: Are you trying to make me nervous?

Faith: The opposite. I’m trying to make sure this is an unqualified success.

Moses: Okay. How you gonna do that?

Faith: We’ll rehearse it. I’ll play your mother, and you’ll be you.

Moses: [ Laughs ]

Faith: What’s so funny?

Moses: You — you don’t look a thing like my mom.

Faith: Not the point, okay? I promise this will help. Okay. Pretend to call me. Take out your phone. Dial the numbeR.

Moses: You can’t be serious.

Faith: The closer this is to the real thing, the better it’ll go.

Moses: Okay. Hey, ma.

Faith: Moses, your brother tells me you no longer want to be a doctor. So, what’s the real reason why you want to stay in genoa city?

Moses: She doesn’t talk like that.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Um, yeah. Devon offered me an internship at hamilton-winters.

Faith: Really? Are you sure you don’t want to just waste your time on girls?

Moses: [ Laughs ] Okay. There is this one girl. But she’s definitely not a waste of time.

Faith: Really? Tell me all about this girl who thinks she’s good enough for my son.

Moses: Okay, now you’re just messing with me.

Faith: I’m waiting, moses. If you don’t tell me all about this girl, I will make you take the next flight back to new york.

Moses: Okay. Her name is faith newman, and she’s one in a trillion.

[ Chuckles ] She’s got a great family. Dad even used to work with her grandfather. She’s smart. She’s beautiful. And maybe I’m the one who doesn’t deserve her.

[ Chuckles ] She’s funny. She’s fun. She loves reading and movies. She makes me happy. Honest, thoughtful, fearless.

[ Chuckles ]

Faith: She sounds nice.

Moses: Oh, she is. And she’s one of the reasons why I can’t come home yet.

Faith: Well, what about me, moses?

Moses: Well, you’ll come and visit, ma. But this is an incredible opportunity for me. This place, these people, these families — they’re a part of dad, which means they’re a part of me, too, right? So, you taught me well, and i know you trust me.

Faith: I do.

Moses: I might be gone for a while, but you’ll never lose me. So…say yes, please. How was that?

Faith: You’ve got this. You’ll do great.

Sharon: I’m really glad that mariah and faith got to spend some time together.

Rey: They’re each other’s best medicine.

Sharon: I don’t know what i would do if I didn’t have those two girls in my life. I’ll never stop thanking my handsome husband for bringing mariah back home safe.

Rey: Well, thank you, but i think devon deserves a lot of the credit. I should have paid more attention to your intuition that something was wrong.

Sharon: You were just following the evidence, and there really wasn’t much to go on, other than gut feelings. And it doesn’t matter. All that matters is that mariah is home now, and hopefully she’ll be able to get through this without being scarred for life.

Rey: Yeah, I mean, any mother would be worried about that, but mariah is a warrior. That’s what got her through this ordeal. What she needs the most now is to know that the people around her love her and have her back.

Sharon: She does. For sure.

Rey: Uh, the way you said that… did something else happen today while mariah was here?

Sharon: Well, you’re very perceptive. Adam stopped by, and things got tense.

Rey: Tense how?

Sharon: Well, he’s never been her favorite person, and mariah went from zero to 100 in about one second. She was hostile and aggressive, and then when I tried to keep the peace, she accused me of taking his side. And I wasn’T. It was really all about mariah’s reaction. I hope I haven’t upset you now.

Rey: It’s — it’s fine.

Sharon: I know you think that mariah is a warrior, and she certainly is, but it’s gonna take a lot for her to get through this. And I just hope she gets the help she needs, whatever that is, a therapist.

Rey: Me too. And I am sure you’re gonna steer her in the right direction. Yeah, I actually had my own run-in with adam today.

Sharon: Really?

Rey: Mm-hmm. I saw connor at the park.

Sharon: Well, how’s he doing?

Rey: He seemed to have a great time at camp. He left his baseball cap behind, so I decided to drop it off with adam at newman media.

Sharon: Oh. How’d that go?

Rey: [ Chuckles ] Well, we ended up getting into it about his refusal to stay out of your life. So of course he comes over here and tries to get in the middle of things with you and mariah.

Sharon: Adam told me that he came here to get my advice on how to talk to connor about chelsea.

Rey: I am not surprised. I gave him my two cents about what I thought connor was going through, and he comes right over here to try to rope you into it.

Sharon: You know, I believe adam when he says that he wants to become a better person. I just don’t know if he has the skill set yet.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Abby: Hi. You ready for a little nap? Okay. Mommy will be right back. I love you.

Mariah: Abby? Abby?

[ Gasps ] Hi, little man. Hi, handsome. Oh, yes. Very handsome.

[ Chuckles ] Did you miss me? ‘Cause I missed you so much. Yeah. Shh.

[ Humming tessa’s lullaby ]

[ Humming continues ]

Devon: Welcome to the world, little man.

[ All chuckle ] (Upbeat pop music in background throughout)

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

hey, curtis! Hey. I was glad to get your text. Yeah. Um, I’m sorry. Why? Well, because I asked you to come down here, and I’m all… caught up with this. Oh, curtis, it’s not a big deal.

[ Chuckles ] Is there a problem with the club? No. No, no. Everything’s good with the club. I’m working on a case. Oh. I thought you left all that P.I. Stuff behind you. I did. But this one’s personal. Did I ever tell you about my good friend drew cain? Yeah. He was oscar’s dad, right? Sam’s ex? Yeah. Well, uh, he disappeared in a plane crash a few years ago. Sam has reason to believe that he might still be alive. Oh, my god. Really? Yeah. So…

[ Footsteps approach ] …Entertaining that theory could set us up for either really good news… or something very disappointing.

[ Sighs ] Good morning, bride-to-be! Hey! Good morning. Did you sleep? I slept a little, yeah. Yeah, I was up a lot, too. I’m so excited. Uh, trina wanted to say hi before things got too crazy. Happy wedding day! Thank you. I know you and jason will be really happy together. That is the plan. Hey. Sorry about this, man. I know you’re not the one that wanted the fight, but you’re the one I got to hold. Previous charges were just dropped two months ago against you, so the D.A. Wants to, uh, go over the entire incident report. It’s bureaucratic B.S. Yeah, well. Don’t worry about it. I-I don’t want special treatment. I’m not giving you special treatment. So here we are again, huh? Opposite sides with so much that connects us. You know, it’s too bad you don’t just ditch the career-criminal thing, man. We could break bread one of these days. Trina: Did your dad tell you he called me? He did? Random, right? Asking all sorts of questions about the sauce. Must’ve been a big hit. Yeah… oh, no! Did it go bad or something? No. The sauce was delicious. Okay. Phew! But — and I know that this is gonna sound totally insane… but, trina, I swear that sauce… tasted exactly like sonny’S. Sonny: I’m mike. That’s who I am. I’m the guy who cares about you. I get that you don’t want my past life crashing down on you. You don’t want to be hurt again. That’s why you came to nixon falls, to let go of your past. So you understand? Well… and I’m gonna do everything I can to prove to you that I do. I don’t know how I’m gonna do it… but I will because I’m — I’m in love with you. Oh, my god. What happened?! Lenny left us a surprise.

[ Exhales sharply ] None of these names are ringing any bells. Shawn, I’m sorry, but I think we need to brace for the possibility that this manifest of naomi dreyfus’ flight is another dead end. No, no, no. I-I can’t accept that. No, there’s got to be something in here to lead us to hayden’s shooter. Because whoever it was wanted her dead so badly that when I started asking questions six years later, they offed her mother. To go through that much trouble, this person has something major to hide, and I want to find out what it is. Spencer: Dad. Look up.

[ Camera shutter clicks ] Esme wanted us to have a fun day. I am having fun. Really? ‘Cause it looks like you’d rather be literally anywhere else. I’m sorry. The six weeks are up, and as soon as ava gets scott back to work, our divorce will be finalized, so you’ll forgive me if I’m not in a festive mood. But I would understand if you were. Yes, I’m aware that the paperwork is ready. But like I’ve told you, I’m — I’m just not ready to go through with it yet. Does it sound like I care what you think?

[ Footsteps approach ]

[ Gasps ]

-Hey, sam. -Hey. You said you had an update on the lead from last night? Yeah, so, I talked to the nurse who took care of nina at crichton-clark. She gave me the contact information of a guy she worked with in the records department. Apparently, he dealt with both patients and the parent company. That’s amazing. There’s just one catch. Dante: Yeah, there is no charge. Well, I would, but the system’s down, and I can’t have access, and I need authorization, so can you put it through? Look. There’s no silver bullet here, okay? He’s not going to prison. It was a drunk and disorderly, and he wasn’t even drunk, so make it happen.

[ Beep ] Hope this doesn’t, uh, mess up your wedding day. It is what it is. You know? As for me, I just got to put a suit on, so… is, uh, carly gonna make you wear a tie? That, I don’t know. Hm. I guess I’ll find out when I open the garment bag. Well, this must be strange for you, me marrying carly after all the years she’s been married to sonny. Yeah, not really, though, you know. I-I — I think sonny would approve. I mean, it’s always been the three of you, right? Even since I first was working undercover, you guys were a unit, you and sonny and carly, even when they weren’t together. It was… I remember being amazed at how devoted you guys were to him. That’s because of everything he did for us. He was just a great friend, a great mentor, and just a stand-up guy. Yeah, I didn’t, uh, see it that way. When I first got here, all I could think about was sending him to prison, so I put that case together against him. But, uh — [ Chuckles ] You know, even then, man, there were days where I didn’t want to do it. You know? When he shot me, I found out he was my father. But you didn’t think of him that way yet. No. But you know what? All these years later, I sure am glad that I didn’t put him away. Jason: I’m still gonna be your safety net. And I’m counting on you to be mine. You don’t need a safety net. But I need you to stand by me. No matter what. I’ll always stand by you no matter what. Okay.

[ Inhales deeply ] Uh, then we’ll just, you know, figure the rest out.

[ Doorbell rings ] Monica. Carly. I know you have a very busy day. I just wondered if you had a little time to talk. Lenny was always complaining about the ceiling. Yeah, he mentioned that there was a bad leak a couple of years ago. Plywood’s all rotten, and the beams have to come down. Yeah, and then he — he, uh… decided to redo it. So he was — he was gonna, you know, take down the wallpaper and then paint the whole place. Yeah, that seems pretty ambitious. Yeah. But, um… he ordered the supplies before his diagnosis, so the lumberyard just came this morning and the next order’s coming later. Yikes. Can you return it? No, a lot of the stuff’s custom, but you know what, I… lenny wanted it, so I felt like I owed it to him to give it to him. Yeah. But in the meantime, there’s not a lot of room for customers. I don’t think it’s a problem for phyllis. Yeah, she’s not in a rush to open the tan-o without lenny, huh? Just another argument for the renovations. You know, if the tan-o opens with a different look, there won’t be so many memories attached. Well, now you know what I’m planning to do for the next two or three months. You — if, you know, you could, I mean, if you want to pitch in. Me? Well, you know, you run a magazine. You have great taste. You can be the designer consultant. Oh. That is if I didn’t scare you off. So what’s up with you? What do you mean? Something’s obviously wrong. No, I-it’s nothing. Trina. I guess I’m feeling guilty. About what? Not liking spencer’s girlfriend. Don’T. You scared me half to death.

[ Laughs ] I’m so sorry. I’ve been told I have a knack for sneaking up on people. I swear it’s not intentional. I’m esme prince. Esme.

[ Chuckles ] You’re spencer’s friend. Spence is my boyfriend. He’s told me so much about you. I’m sure. It’s nice to meet you face-to-face. Pleasure’s all mine. Is there something I can do for you? Yes. Uh, I came by to look at your works, and I was thinking about purchasing a piece. Oh? My parents strongly advised me to invest in artwork as I got older. Oh. I-I take it you were born into money, then? Yes and no. I mean, my parents couldn’t have children of their own, so my siblings and i were adopted. Adopted and rich. Lucky you.

[ Chuckles ] Yes, I am quite fortunate. It sounds like you had a very happy home. No? I suppose everyone was happy enough. My parents were very cool with each other. There was love there, but nothing like, um, you and spencer’s father.

esme’s been nothing but nice to me. I don’t know. Maybe I don’t like her because I was into spencer. You don’t like her because there’s nothing to like. Tell me how you really feel. She’s a bitch with a capital “b,” okay? Joss! No. I mean, you see the way she treats spencer, like he’s her property or something. She is clearly threatened by you. You really think so? Yes, trina. My god, it’s so obvious. So don’t trick yourself into looking for something that isn’t there. Sweet, innocent esme doesn’t exist. Spence told me all about you and his dad, and you have to admit, it’s romantic. Nikolas doesn’t want to let you go. It would have to be something uber extreme to get him to stay away. Yes, I thought of that. Just wasn’t sure how far I wanted to take it. Anyway, unfortunately, all my pieces are spoken for. Too bad. Well, let me know if anything changes. I certainly will. Safe travels, ava. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Clears throat ] Hey, it’s me. That thing we talked about — I’m convinced. Do it. Nikolas: Before I disappeared, I don’t think you were aware of how far I had fallen. I crossed some serious lines, spencer. Done some unforgivable things. Like what? I don’t want to get into details, but to put it bluntly, I was a bad person. And it was ava who motivated me to change my ways, so you think what you want of her, but ava is the reason that I am more the man and the father that you remember than the man I had become during those dark times.

[ Knock on door ] Mom? Tj, what a surprise. Hi. Even if I’m about to cancel our dinner? Oh, never mind. Get out. I know, I’m sorry, but molly and I have this — hey, son. What’s going on, man? Hey. W-what’s going on? I, uh, I’m just helping jordan with an investigation. A little out of your wheelhouse, no? Well, it could lead to finding out who really shot hayden barnes. I thought you decided to move on with your life. Oh, I did. Oh, but some things need closure, and… this is one of those things. I get that. Look, my guilt became this person’s shield, prevented a real investigation, kept me from getting to be a father. Yeah, but you taught me how to drive, shawn, how to shave, how to put on a tie, how to ask out my first girlfriend. I-I’m not saying you shouldn’t pursue this — I think you should — but don’t forget, you were already a father in all the right ways, even before we knew it. That’s a hell of a thing for a cop to say, huh? “I believe in law, but I didn’t apply it in that instance.” I mean, I-I think it was your call. And who — who were you hurting? You’re the one who got shot. I mean, if you didn’t want to turn sonny in or you wanted to cover for him and didn’t want to see him prosecuted in that moment because he was your friend, that’s your decision. Yeah, like I said, I don’t regret protecting him. That’s good because all of our lives would have taken a completely different path if you hadn’T. Yeah, you know, the truth is I don’t think I’ve had a chance to wrap my mind around the fact that he’s gone. I’ve been thinking that with all this talk of you and jason getting married, I have never given you my blessing. Not that you need or want it. You don’t have to pretendto like me, monica. I get it. You’re A.J.’S mom. I don’t expect you to see all the issues we had from my side. See, that’s just the thing. With the truth coming out about austin in all of this, it’s — it’s occurred to me that we quartermaines can be very cruel to each other. Cause a lot of pain — the cheating, the backstabbing, blackmailing. But we manage to — to get past it because we’re family. And now, whether I like it or not, it’s what you’re about to become. I know I put you on the spot when I told you that I loved you. And there you go again. I’m sorry. I just can’t — I can’t help it. I didn’t sleep very much last night. I’ve been wrestling with all of this. I don’t — I don’t — I didn’t mean to make you wrestle with anything. No, I know. I know you didn’T. I just had to tell you how I felt. And I-I don’t want you to feel any pressure… to feel the same way. Mike… how could I not feel the same way?

Well, we are running low on coffee. I’ll get us some refills. Hey, tj, want one? No, I’m good. Thank you. What?

[ Chuckles ] Come on, mom. Since when do you let civilians assist you in police investigations? We enlist outside investigators all the time. Which shawn is not. What’s your point, tj? You are bending a lot of rules, and I know that’s in large part for me. So thank you. Well, I love you a little bit, so… we’ve been talking a lot about shawn’s role in my life, and I know why. I just… I don’t want you to forget how important you are to me, what a — what a spectacular mom you are. My hero. I’m your hero? Tj, do you have any idea how proud I am of you? My son, the doctor, the smartest, most compassionate, loyal, and loving person I know. There’s very little credit to be had here. You are who you are because you are an extraordinary person, and to whatever extent I was able to guide you, to love and support you, well… is the best thing I’ve ever done. You are the best thing I have ever done. I love you so much. I love you. Sam: What’s the problem? Is this guy really far away or something? No, it’s, um, somewhere near the finger lakes. Well, that’s lucky. Yeah, but what we’re asking for is access to corporate and patient files. You know, this guy was hesitant about releasing them unless we agreed to meet in person. Great. Finger lakes, here we come. Well, a-are these medical files you’re talking about? Um, some of them, yeah. Well, then, you’re gonna need to fill out a hipaa form, unless you actually have a doctor with you. How convenient. We have a really great doctor right here. You know, I’d barely been home… when sonny disappeared. And I was so messed up before I went away. Not that there was anything wrong between me and sonny, but, you know, all the good stuff, it dwindled, you know? We didn’t get a chance to rebuild it over a yankees game, have a meal, hang with rocco together. Yeah, all the things that made you see how much you and sonny have in common. Yeah, let’s face it, I never knew him the way most kids know their dad. But over time, you know, I grew to admire him and look up to him. He was more like A… like a father/friend, you know? Yeah, I mean, we used to, you know, we used to call each other brothers, but it was just as much a father-son thing. For sure. I mean, sonny was, you know, aside from carly, the first person who treated me with respect. After your accident? Yeah, I mean, he taught me, uh… he taught me so much. Not a lot of people approve of it, but I was always, uh, I was always grateful and it was always my choice. You know, it’s not like he forced a gun in my hands, and he made sure I knew what it meant to pick one up. Yeah, I guess my line of work isn’t what he would have chosen for me.

[ Chuckles ] Did sonny wish you weren’t a cop? Yeah, I mean, you’re — you’re his son. You know, he didn’t want to be in opposition to you. He didn’t want have to lie to you, ask you to look the other way. It’s not A… comfortable place to be. No, it’s not. Sonny admired you — your courage, your honor, your commitment to your job, and most of all, he respected you. And that meant a lot. Well, that’s how I know he’d be okay with you marrying carly… because he respected you more than anyone.

[ Cellphone chimes ] And there we are. Finally, you are free to go. Good luck today, man. Thanks.

[ Door closes ] Well, I hesitate to remind you, this is not the first time I’m marrying into the quartermaines.

[ Laughing ] No. Oh, we remember, alright, believe me. You guys weren’t exactly welcoming.

[ Chuckles ] I think I was girding myself for the pain I knew that your marriage to A.J. Would cause. And not just because of A.J.’S troubles. Or the fact that you two were so very good at exploiting each other’s weaknesses. We were experts at that. But it was crystal clear back then to everyone, including A.J., And maybe — maybe especially A.J., That your heart belonged to jason, and jason, for all he loved robin and cared a lot for her, it was pretty clear that the bond between you two was unbreakable. Last thing I expected when I walked through those doors… was to find you. But there you were standing there. I saw you as a sign, mike, a sign that I… that we don’t have to be stuck in the circumstances of our lives. You taught me that if you just let go of the baggage of your past, you can find out who you really are inside. You taught me that. I taught you that? You did.

[ Chuckles ] Well… you know, this place has really become my home, and you are such an enormous part… of that. Three are a million,

million reasons why we should not be together, and with all those reasons and the fear that… what we have together could collapse when you find out who you really are… with all of that, I still can’t stay away from you. There’s a lot of risk and vulnerability when you open up your heart to someone, and I’m willing to do that… with you. And if that isn’t love… I don’t know what is. What do you say? I’m saying that I love you, too, mike.

Esme said something the other day that I can’t get out of my head. What was it? She called kiki “lauren.” No one ever called kiki that — not the staff at gh, not her mom, no one, so how would esme even know that was her name? Maybe from the article about ava’s car being lit on fire? The article referred to her as kiki. Some other legal document, then? I mean, I don’t know. Well, it doesn’t seem to be bothering spencer. He’s busy posting selfies at the metro court pool. Of course he is. So then enough about esme. Please, and thank you. You need to get ready for your mom’s wedding. See you there? I can’t wait. Spencer: Dad, do you think that absolution is possible without atonement? No. I guess not. I think that we should probably talk about something. Sorry I’m late. Looking fabulous, mr. Cassadine. Thank you, esme. Anyone need anything from the bar? I’m good. You? All set. I know that look. You’re second-guessing breaking up ava and your father, aren’t you? I know you. I’ve seen your face in the invader. Nikolas cassadine, right? Yeah, that’s me. Can you hold this for a second? Sure. Thanks. You’ve just been served. I have to run to get to the hospital, but… rain check on dinner. Absolutely. Okay. I wasn’t sure how you took your coffee these days, so I brought a little bit of everything. Sorry, dad, I have to run, but good luck. Thanks, tj. Well, we did one thing right. That’s for sure. You’re telling me.

[ Telephone rings ] Oh. Commissioner ashford. No, no, no, no, that– that’s great intel. Okay. Thank you. Good news? The passenger next to hayden’s mother wasn’t a stranger. They booked their seats together. So they’re close enough to travel together, but he’s nowhere to be found after naomi dies. Guess who’s got his address. Feel like a road trip? Portia coming with us might be our best shot. This client might be more inclined to trust us if we have a doctor with us, if that’s okay with you. Well, I certainly don’t want either of you to break any laws. So if it’ll help, yeah, I’m in. Are you sure? Yeah. Okay, let’s go. Uh, hold on, wait. I’m thinking you should probably stay behind. Why? Look, sam, I know this is very important to you, but just think about it. Imagine if a bunch of people show up at this guy’s door, okay? It could scare him away. But now, if it’s just portia and me, okay, and I can hide under the radar as the doctor’s boyfriend, then they’ll never know I’m a pi. Okay, that makes sense. I’ll keep you posted, okay? Okay, thank you, and good luck. Yeah. So…do you want to drive or should I? I’ll drive. Of course. This really happening right now? Yeah, it’s really happening. You without a past and… me trying desperately to forget mine. We shouldn’t fit, but somehow, we do.

[ Laughs ] You know, I was broken, and you put me back together. Is this a huge gamble? Yes. We don’t know how long this is gonna last. Mike, I want — i need to see this through. Can you say that again? I need to see this — no, I know what you want to hear again. You know what part I want to hear. I love you, mike. Love, love, love you. I don’t know what to do with that, but I love you. I got a few ideas. Yeah? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Carly: You’re right. My heart belonged to jason fully and completely, and I screwed it up big time. And I could have lost him forever, but instead, we landed in this beautiful place. And he’s the best friend I’ve ever had. And I’m sure he would say the same about you. I really appreciate you coming to see me.

[ Chuckles ] Well, I’m — I’m really glad because it could have gone totally the other way.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Look, we’re never gonna be best friends. No, probably not. But… for jason and for michael’s sake, I’d like to try to be civil in-laws. I would really like that. Good. Well, good, then I will see you at the wedding. Yes. Yes, of course. You know, it’s interesting. After all you went through to secure jason’s love back then, you finally get it now.

[ Chuckles ]

Shawn, I’m sorry, but I am going on this solo. Did we not agree to work together on this? Yes, to the extent that we could, but you aren’t a cop. You also aren’t a pi. You have no legal standing, on top of the fact that you and sam were the last people to see naomi dreyfus alive. And you both discovered her body. If I include you to go interview a person of interest… yeah. I mean, it starts to feel like a cover-up. At the very least, or it could taint the investigation or could even be grounds to have potential evidence or testimony thrown out. Which I definitely do not want. If this leads to anything, you will be the first to know — promise. So you’re going alone, huh? I believe I already said that. Now? No time like the present. Okay, just be careful. Shawn, I got this. It’s not my first investigation. I’m a professional. Okay, miss professional. Just be careful anyway. I will. My dad was on some guilt trip that went way over my head, but I realized that he and i will never be able to have a true, honest relationship with this secret between us. And if he stays with ava, will you be able to have a relationship with him then? You have to pick your poison, spence. There’s no way you can live with your father if he’s still with ava. If I had to guess, you could probably get used to keeping this secret from him. And if you’re having a tough time, you’ve got me. I’m always looking out for you. Proved that earlier when I went to go see ava. What about ava? What the hell are you talking about? Wait. This is a restraining order. My wife got the court to say I have to stay 100 feet away from her, and I’m just hearing about this now? She must have filed the paperwork days ago. State of new york allows the filer to choose the method of delivery and notification. Have a nice day. You’ve got to be kidding me. Hey. Hey. I thought I’d find you here. Any leads? Pardon? Curtis is following up on one right now, but I can’t go with him because he doesn’t want me to scare the guy off. Well, you are pretty scary. I thought that maybe you and I could figure out another path to go down. I really think there’s a connection between drew’s flight and lethe unlimited. You want to wait and see what curtis comes back with? Wait. Um…yeah. No, I can’t just stand here and do nothing. Like in general or today? I just heard from olivia. She’s running a little late because of leo. Mom?

Bothering ava when she’s trying to pack up her life? I wasn’t trying to bother her. I was just wishing her well before she left. Little protective, aren’t we? Spencer: Trina and ava got close when they worked together. She’s trina’s mentor. And I’m sure you were like a daughter to her after kiki passed away. You mean lauren? I’m sorry? That’s what you called kiki the other day. Oh, right. Her, uh, given name. And the name on her hospital id badge. You know, the one they found near ava’s car after it was burned to a crisp. Nikolas, you cannot be here. Because of this? A restraining order? Why, ava? Because you’re worried I won’t stay away or because you know you can’t?

[ Doorknob rattles ] Curtis: Jordan? Curtis? What are you doing here? I’m working a case. So are we. What’s special about today? Really? What? Oh, you mean carly and jason’s wedding? Yeah. Yeah, that. Okay, would I like to escape the buzz? Yes. Would I like to be focused on something else? Also, yes. You know what? I think I got a solution for that. Hey. Don’t worry, I’m just here to pick up my suit. I’m not gonna mess with tradition and try to see your mom. Yeah, that’s not gonna be a problem. Mom’s gone.

[ Laughs ] What? So… yeah. What now? Well, I’m thinking this occasion calls for us going to philadelphia.

[ Laughs ] No, no, look, listen. What? Why? Because we’re gonna find a restaurant, we’re gonna listen to music afterwards, and we’re just gonna do it up. “Do it up.” Okay. Yeah. I love that idea. Okay, so great. So I got to — I got to get some stuff organized, sorted out, and then I’ll be at your place in a couple of hours. Okay. Can’t wait. Can’t wait. Alright. I’ll see you later. Later.

[ Door closes ] Jax.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: There. You know, I’m thinking we should–I’m gonna get you to the er. You were in that freezer for a good half hour, and you’re still shivering.

Julie: I’m not going anywhere until we find doug.

Jack: We will find him. I promise you.

Julie: Well, how? How? He’s not answering my voicemails. He’s not answering my texts. Oh, my god. I think I know what’s happened!

Kayla: I don’t understand why bonnie is there with calista getting ready. She was supposed to be here.

Steve: Well, she said something about getting hung up at the manicurist, and it would be faster for her to get ready here. That’s why I’m calling. Bonnie needs her makeup bag.

Kayla: I guess we’re on our way then.

[Cell phone beeps]

Justin: What was that about? What’s going on with bonnie?

Kayla: I have no idea.

Gwen: Bonnie lockhart? What was she doing here?

Xander: She and justin are getting married today. She invited me to the wedding.

Gwen: Why?

Xander: Well, she said she wanted me to represent the kiriakis family, because victor and all the others refused to attend.

Gwen: It’s a bit odd, don’t you think?

Xander: Yeah, I thought so too. It actually reminded me that she did volunteer at the last second to be sarah’s maid of honor.

Gwen: But still, do you think that that was all just a pretense so she could just come in here and steal the $1 million from your briefcase?

Xander: Well, yeah, I would, except for the fact that I saw her leave without it.

Bonnie: Give me the gun, girl.

Calista: Fine.

[Sighs]

Bonnie: All right. You did the first part. Now hand it over.

Calista: I’m sorry, bonnie, but you’re not getting the gun. You are getting the bullet.

Bonnie: Hold on. What are you talking about? I gave you the $1 million you think I stole from your husband.

Calista: Oh, you did steal from harrison. You stole his buddy bucks, and then you stole his life. And now you’re gonna pay with yours!

Bonnie: No. You can’t do this. I’m marrying the man of my dreams. No. It’s my wedding day.

Calista: Well, then I got your “something new” right here. A bullet through the heart.

Bonnie: No. Please. Please, calista!

Calista: Forget about becoming bonnie kiriakis. Today, you die.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Gwen: Right, so you’re saying that bonnie didn’t take the money.

Xander: But she must’ve. She was the only person that was here before ej showed up.

Gwen: Maybe the cash has been gone longer than you think.

Xander: That’s impossible. I’ve looked inside that briefcase at least once an hour since I got it back from the cops.

Gwen: Once an hour?

Xander: $1 million is a very lovely thing to look at, especially when you’re about to part ways with it.

Gwen: Right, so the money was here before bonnie came, but she didn’t leave with the money, so what happened, xander?

Bonnie: Hi. Morning, sunshine.

Xander: What are you doing here?

Bonnie: Oh, I came to invite you to our wedding.

Xander: What?

Bonnie: Just on my way over to kayla’s and thought I’d pop by here first.

Xander: Did you run this by justin?

Bonnie: Oh, I know he’d want you to be there. You’re his cousin. So why don’t you just hop in the shower, put on your monkey suit, and be at the house at 2:00 P.M.?

Xander: Bonnie–

Bonnie: Nope. I’m not taking “no” for an answer.

Xander: Honestly, I feel kind of awkward.

Bonnie: Oh, honey, you? You’ll be the life of the party, and I always say, the more the merrier, right?

Xander: Fine. I’ll be there.

Bonnie: Yay! Yippee! Okay, I’ll see you–oh, I’ll see you soon.

Xander: She was trying to get rid of me.

Gwen: Well, did you hop in the shower or anything when she was here?

Xander: No, but that isn’t where I left it.

Gwen: What? Are you sure?

Xander: Bonnie must have swiped it on her way out of the room, and then when I went into the bathroom, she let herself back in, opened the briefcase, and ran off with my money.

Gwen: Oh, my god. That cheeky bitch.

Xander: Well, she’s not gonna get away with it. Bonnie lockhart will rue the day she crossed me.

Bonnie: No. No. You can’T. You can’t shoot me! You don’t know the whole story.

Calista: Hey, it was your finger on the trigger that killed my husband. That’s all I need to know.

Bonnie: But I’m not a cold-blooded killer, and your husband wasn’t the–

Calista: Hey! Nothing more about harrison.

Bonnie: But he tried–

Calista: Every syllable out of your little mouth makes my finger twitch, so if I were you, I would shut it.

Bonnie: No! I did everything. I did everything you asked. You wanted $1 million. I got you $1 million right there, and on my wedding day. I stole a million clams from a guy who’s practically family when I should have been sipping mimosas and getting ready for my groom. Please, please, please, calista. I gave you your money. You got your money. What more do you want?

Calista: A little thing called “an eye for an eye.” Now, can we get this little show started?

Bonnie: No, no, no, no. What about turning the other cheek?

Calista: Well, I’m more of an old testament kind of girl. Let’s go.

Bonnie: No, wait! Seriously, wait. Wait, wait, wait. You haven’t thought this through.

Calista: Oh, honey, I’m already sipping an umbrella drink on my private island.

Bonnie: No, no. What about when xander comes after you, huh? He’s not just a pretty face, you know; he’ll figure it out.

Calista: No, he won’T. He’s gonna pin you for stealing the money.

Bonnie: And I’ll tell him the truth.

Calista: Well, yeah, I guess you could, except for the “you’ll be dead” part.

Bonnie: Okay, okay. What about ej dimera? Do you know about the dimeras? Honey, they’re mob, so if I were you, I’d just take my money and run. Time’s a-wasting.

Calista: Oh, don’t worry, honey, I’m halfway out the door. This won’t take but a minute.

Julie: And that would explain everything.

Jack: What, exactly?

Julie: Julie’s place is always closed between lunch, dinner. Doug and I are here alone, so obviously, he locked me in the freezer to protect me.

Jack: Come again?

Julie: Morgan’s on the waterfront. It was robbed last week. Robbed in broad daylight.

Jack: Yes, yes, but–

Julie: So what if those same guys struck again? And what if they came in here, doug saw them, went to the back, and locked me in to protect me, to hide me, so they couldn’t get at me? And then they kidnapped him.

Jack: Well, why would anyone kidnap doug?

Julie: Oh, for god’s sakes, jack. He’s one of the most prominent men in salem. He’s the ex-mayor. He’s a man of means. For ransom. God, he could be bound and gagged in the trunk of a car somewhere. Oh, god. My poor doug.

Roman: All right. There you go. Double burger with swiss. Extra rare. Side of fries. Just the way you like.

Doug: Thank you, good sir. And it smells delicious. Mmm. Your mission:

Xander: Bonnie wants me at her wedding, I’ll wring the bride’s neck.

Gwen: Okay, xander. Will you just slow down? Slow down, right, and think this through. Why would bonnie want to steal $1 million when she’s just about to marry a multimillionaire?

Xander: Well, you know what they say. You can never be too rich.

Gwen: Right, but how did she even know you had all that cash in that briefcase?

Xander: I don’t know. I’m gonna show up at her wedding and find out.

Gwen: Xander, wait.

Xander: What?

Gwen: This is my fault.

Xander: This is not the time to make it all about you, gwen.

Gwen: I know, but it is though. You confessed to a crime that I committed, and now you’re all tangled up with this bloody ej person. You owe him $1 million, which is now gone, along with the promise of a job. You did all this because you were trying to protect me.

Xander: It was my choice, gwen, remember. But there is one thing you can do for me in return.

Gwen: Yes, of course. What?

Xander: Don’t tell your father that you had your miscarriage before abigail pushed you down those stairs. If you do that, everything I’ve done will be for naught.

Steve: Right this way, mr. Riggins.

Riggins: Am I in the right place?

Steve: Yeah. Bride’s upstairs, the groom is out, and there’s a guest list of one outside the bridal party.

Riggins: Remarriages tend to be quieter affairs.

Steve: This is no remarriage. This is justin and bonnie’s first trip to the altar.

Riggins: Then what’s that, halloween?

Steve: That’s not bonnie. That’s my late sister adrienne. She and justin raised four sons together. After she passed–

Riggins: Mr. Kiriakis fell in love with her twin?

Steve: In a manner of speaking.

Riggins: And you’re the one person who made the guest list.

Steve: No. I’m the best man. Guess you’re wondering what you got yourself into, huh?

Riggins: Life can be complicated.

Steve: It sure can. So here’s hoping that all the drama is behind us now that their wedding day is finally here.

Bonnie: Wait.

Calista: Now what?

Bonnie: You can’t kill me.

Calista: You already said that.

Bonnie: No, no, no. Do you know who justin’s uncle really is? He is like the greek version of michael corleone, except he’s even nastier, meaner, scarier, more ruthless than ej dimera. You lay one hand on me, and he will–

Calista: Thank me? Come on, the old goat won’t even come to your wedding. I’m gonna bet that guy do not care a rat’s behind about you.

Bonnie: No, wait. Wait. Okay. Forget about the mob. What about the law? Steve is right downstairs, and honey, he hears that gunshot and he comes running up those stairs, and he catches you red-handed. You lose the money, you go to statesville, and you don’t even have me around to give you tips on how to get ciggies from the guards in cell block H.

Calista: Oh, I’m not going to statesville.

Bonnie: Okay.

Calista: I know how to get away with murder. I watched you, didn’t I? So I’m gonna use this little old-fashioned silencer. Easy-peasy. Now no one will know what happened, and no one will care.

Julie: Jack, we gotta call the police.

Jack: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. Julie, as concerned as I am, I’m thinking maybe you’re getting a little carried away.

Julie: How can you say that when doug could be in danger?

Jack: Well, there could be another explanation.

Julie: Such as what?

Jack: Such as is it possible–possible–that maybe you and doug had a fight?

Julie: Of course not. Although, well, he did get a little miffed when I changed out his espresso for chamomile tea this morning. His digestion’s a little more fragile. All right. All right. We had a small contretemps. Yes, he can show his temper when his blood sugar gets a little low.

Jack: Okay, so maybe he decided that the two of you needed to cool off a bit.

Julie: “Cool off.” Is that your fabled sense of humor rising to the occasion? I am not amused, jack.

Jack: All right, all right, all right. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Just to, you know– my apology on choice of words. Is it possible that maybe doug just needed to take a moment?

Julie: I don’t know. I guess it’s possible. Where would he go? He’s 96 years old. He can’t get very far on foot. Oh, lord, what am I doing standing here babbling? I’m going to go find him!

Roman: So where is your better half?

Doug: Pardon?

Roman: Well, I’ve never seen you or julie in here alone. Either one of you. She busy at the restaurant?

Doug: Actually, julie is busy–very busy– watching my cholesterol. Last night, she even tried to give me some quinoa. I hated it. Ugh. I prefer good, red meat and fries to go with it.

Roman: [Chuckles]

Doug: I’m sure you won’t tell her about this.

Roman: Oh, god, no. I got your back, all right? And I tell you what, I won’t tell her about this either.

Doug: [Laughs] Ooh. Well, that’s awfully nice of you, john. Thanks.

Roman: Yeah, you’re welcome, but name’s roman.

Doug: Of course it is.

Roman: Well, you called me john.

Doug: I did?

Roman: Yeah. You know what? It’s not the first time it happened. I mean, after all, john went by my name for, what, better part of a decade?

Doug: Yeah, those were wild days, weren’t they? When everybody thought you were dead and that john got back together with vivian.

Roman: You mean marlena?

Doug: Who else? What did I say?

Roman: Vivian.

Doug: [Chuckles] How in the world could I ever mix up marlena with vivian?

[Laughs] I must be losing it, john.

Gwen: Look, I already told my father that you were lying to protect me. That I was the one running drugs for snyder. He was blackmailing me. I can’t exactly go back on that, can I? And jack, he’s gonna be looking for answers.

Xander: And you’ll be ready with a lie. You’re a highly-skilled liar, gwen. One of the best, really. What? It’s a compliment!

Gwen: Thanks. Back at you.

Xander: So we’re good? You’ll do it?

Gwen: Lie to my father?

Xander: Think about it, gwen. If you told jack that you falsely blamed his precious abigail for your miscarriage, which caused her to flee town and quite possibly destroyed her marriage, there’s a chance his capacity for forgiveness might wear a tad thin.

Gwen: I’m his daughter too.

Xander: And I’m his best mate. You saw the hatchet job he did on me in the “spectator.”

Gwen: Yeah, that’s because he blames you for hurting me. He’s very protective over his daughters.

Xander: And if he blames you for hurting his other daughter, how do you think that will turn out? You’ve spent your whole life wanting a relationship with your father, and you finally got it. Do you really want to throw all that away for the sake of my reputation, which has always hovered between less-than-stellar and abysmal and will remain there regardless of what you do?

Gwen: You don’t deserve this.

Xander: I’ll be fine. Trust me. What?

Gwen: Nobody’s ever done this for me before. Sacrificed so much.

Xander: What can I say? You’re worth it.

[Cell phone beeps]

Jack: I got nothing. You have any luck?

Julie: I ran into linda, the line cook. She saw doug walking out the front door. She waved. She smiled. He just kept right on walking–

[Cell phone rings] Roman, I can’t talk now. Doug is missing.

Roman: No, he’s not. He’s right here, at the pub.

Julie: He is? Doug is at the brady pub.

Jack: Oh.

[Both laugh]

Julie: Oh, oh. Thank god.

Jack: Yeah.

Julie: Well, tell him I’ve been worried sick, and he is to come back to the restaurant immediately. Roman? Aren’t you gonna tell him that?

Roman: Julie, you know what? I think it would be a better idea if you came here.

Riggins: Calista lockhart and harrison lord? Why do those names sound so familiar?

Steve: It’ll come to you.

Riggins: Well, a wedding at the kiriakis manse. Not to be gauche, but I didn’t eat lunch assuming the kiriakises would be putting on a spread, and this celebration seems a bit…anemic. I’d hate for my stomach to be growling during the ceremony.

Steve: Okay. Kitchen’s that way. The caterer has laid out a real nice brunch. You tell the cook I told him to hook you up.

Riggins: Thank you.

Steve: Okay. Ah, there you are.

Kayla: Hi.

Justin: Thanks for holding down the fort.

Steve: There’s not much to do. I haven’t seen the bride since she hightailed it upstairs with her sister-in-law.

Kayla: Well, I’ll go up and see bonnie and calista. See what’s going on.

Steve: All right.

Calista: You ready to go to hell, bonnie?

Bonnie: Let’s just see who gets there first!

[Both grunting]

[Gunshot]

[Dramatic music]

To be a thriver

Roman: [Chuckles]

Julie: Doug.

Doug: Julie. Jack. What are you guys doing here?

Julie: Oh, thank god. Thank god you’re all right. You are all right, aren’t you?

Doug: Of course I am.

Julie: [Sighs]

Doug: Well, you actually caught me in the act.

Julie: A burger? What do you mean?

Doug: I needed something meaty, something I could sink my teeth into.

Julie: Oh, darling. I don’t care about the burger.

Doug: You don’t?

Julie: No.

Doug: Well, terrific. Join me. Brews all around, on me.

Julie: Honey, I didn’t come here to drink, although it might do me some good. My blood is still needing to be thawed out after you locked me in the freezer.

Doug: What are you talking about?

Julie: And then you walked away and left me with my rear end frozen off.

Doug: Well, I would never do that.

Julie: But you did. You walked right up to the window, looked at me, walked away. I had to call poor jack to rescue me.

Doug: Well, I’m glad you’re safe and sound, honey. But darling, I think you have confused me with somebody else. Are you sure you’re okay?

Jack: You know, I think it’s been a really long afternoon, and I think it’d be a great idea if you and I got julie home.

Doug: Well, I haven’t finished my burger, and I had my eye on a piece of that devil’s food cake over there.

Roman: You know what? I’ll wrap all that up. How about that?

Doug: Yeah.

Roman: Okay?

Doug: That’d be splendid. Thank you. And I need one more of these.

Roman: [Chuckles] Okay.

Steve: I can pour you a shot of whiskey for that.

Justin: For what?

Steve: Nerves, although kayla would probably recommend yoga.

Justin: I’m not nervous. I’m worried about bonnie. She has been real jittery ever since calista showed up. I mean, this morning we were planning to have breakfast, and she just took off on some errand without a word to me. And she was supposed to go over to your place, and she was a no-show.

Steve: Yeah, bonnie was definitely jittery when she got here this morning.

Justin: And last night, kayla mentioned that bonnie seemed really upset about calista. Apparently, she didn’t want to talk about it though.

Steve: Kayla told me the same thing. She said bonnie was near tears, but she wouldn’t say why. Whatever it is, I can attest to the fact that calista is quite the character.

Justin: Why do you say that?

Steve: Well, for one thing, she made a pass at me.

Justin: Obviously, she didn’t know you were married.

Steve: Well, when I told her, it didn’t stop her. She jumped me.

Justin: Steve, sorry about that.

Steve: And when I asked her some questions about herself, she was very cagey. Do you know much about her?

Justin: No, no, bonnie never mentioned her before she just showed up out of the blue. And I’m just hoping that she will just disappear to where she came from once this wedding is over.

Bonnie: Oh, my god. She’s dead.

[Knock at door]

Kayla: Bonnie?

Bonnie: This can’t be happening.

[Knock at door]

Kayla: Bonnie, are you in there?

Bonnie: Yeah, but I’m just– I’m not decent.

Kayla: I just wanted to see if you needed some help getting ready.

Bonnie: No, I’m good. I’m good.

Kayla: Well, I don’t think you are quite.

Bonnie: What do you mean?

Kayla: I have your makeup bag here.

Bonnie: You can just leave it there. That’s fine.

Kayla: Oh, come on. I’m the matron of honor. It’s my job to help the bride get ready. I mean, not that you need much. I mean, you’re gonna be a beautiful bride. Did you know faded, dingy, and rough fabrics

Julie: Well, I finally got him settled. You know, he did not sleep a wink last night, really. That’s why he was a little off, and then, of course, the beer and that rich, rich meal, that didn’t help matters very much either, so–

Jack: Julie? When you were getting doug in the car, roman told me that doug called him john.

Julie: Oh, well, who doesn’t? I mean, it’s been confusing for years.

Jack: He also confused marlena with vivian, which you gotta admit, that’s a little harder to explain away. I know. I mean, nobody wants to think about this, but I really think that doug should see a doctor.

Julie: Don’t even say that. He’s just tired. He needs some rest, and when he’s rested, he’s fine. I know it.

Xander: So what are you gonna tell jack?

Gwen: I don’t know.

Xander: Well, that’s the wrong answer.

Gwen: Yeah, well, it’s the best one I’ve got at the moment. One positive from this, though. Jack won’t think you’re a drug runner anymore, so that means that he won’t get in the way of us potentially seeing one another.

Xander: Is that what you want?

Gwen: I don’t know, maybe. But you need to go get that money now, and I need to think about what I’m gonna say to my father.

Xander: Wait.

Gwen: What? Oh.

[Laughs] What was that for?

Xander: Luck.

Justin: A part of me can’t believe I’m actually going through with this. Steve, I know you thought I was crazy. That you thought I was only attracted to bonnie because she reminded me so much of adrienne. And I know, at first, you were right. Although they really couldn’t be any more different from one another.

Steve: Really?

Justin: But right now, I’m not looking for another adrienne. I just want to be able to live and laugh again.

Steve: Of course you do.

Justin: And, I mean, if i wasn’t confident that bonnie had turned her life around, there’s no way I could ever get past what she did with adrienne.

Steve: I know that.

Justin: I mean, I’ve done a lot of things in my life that I’m not proud of.

Steve: Same here, so who am I to judge?

Justin: I just want you to know that I know it took a lot for you to agree to be my best man, and I appreciate your support.

Steve: All I ask in return is that you be happy.

Justin: That’s the plan.

Steve: Okay.

Kayla: Oh, my gosh. Bonnie, what happened?

Bonnie: Uh…oh, you mean the feathers? Oh, gosh, they just don’t make pillows the way they used to. I was just trying to fluff one up, and it just exploded on me.

Kayla: And calista?

Bonnie: Oh, it’s the darndest thing. She said she wasn’t feeling well, and she just keeled right over.

Kayla: Why didn’t you say something? I’ll examine her.

Bonnie: No! You can’T.

[ “The addams family” theme playing ]

Kayla: Why don’t you want me to examine her?

Bonnie: Because I already know what’s wrong with her. She had, like, 16 mimosas at breakfast, and then she started puking before lunch, and I’ve been cleaning up after her ever since.

Kayla: On your wedding day? That’s awful.

Bonnie: Yeah, tell me about it. Anyway, she finally fell asleep, so I just–I don’t wanna– you know, don’t wanna take the chance waking her.

Kayla: Yeah. I can relate. I felt a bit rough this morning myself.

Bonnie: I guess I shouldn’t have suggested kamikazes last night, huh?

Kayla: Or maybe I just shouldn’t have tried to keep up with you. But it looks like your sister-in-law might just sleep right through the wedding, which is really a shame, because I know that she came all this way for the occasion.

Bonnie: Yeah. Definitely a shame.

Kayla: Are you all right?

Bonnie: Huh? Oh, I’m great. I mean, I’m marrying the man of my dreams! Top of the world, ma!

[Laughs]

Kayla: So why were you just shaking, and what happened to your nail?

Steve: All right. To the light that’s back in your eyes and the woman who put it there.

Riggins: Okay. The mini quiches are delicious, and the croissants are–mmm.

Steve: I told him he could help himself.

Justin: Oh.

Riggins: I’m happy to see we’re up to two people. It’s getting late, and I do have another gig, so are we getting this show on the road anytime soon?

Justin: I sure hope so.

Bonnie: Uh…um… must have lost it when calista timbered and I tried to catch her on the way down.

Kayla: After all that time at the manicurist.

Bonnie: Nothing is going the right way. Nothing’s going the way I planned it. I mean, it’s the most important day of my life, and I’m making a mess of it.

Kayla: Bonnie, bonnie, bonnie, it’s all right. It’s just a nail, huh?

Bonnie: Yeah, it’s just a nail. Just a nail. Just–yeah.

[Breathes shakily]

Kayla: Are you sure you’re all right?

Bonnie: Justin is the best thing that ever happened to me. I just want to marry him before something else goes wrong, okay?

Kayla: And you will. But you know wt?Ha we need to take care of some rituals first.

Bonnie: Okay. Kamikazes at midnight, check.

Kayla: No, no. Yeah, no. But something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.

Bonnie: Well, calista kind of took care of that part. It’s borrowed, blue, some old tears, and some new stains. Ew. On second thought, I’m just gonna leave it here.

Kayla: Okay, then. Why don’t we get you into your dress and get you married?

Bonnie: Yeah.

[Both laugh]

Jack: You and doug have been married more than half your lives, and so of course you don’t want to think about that. You know, I don’t either, but it could be something that’s completely treatable.

Julie: Or it could be nothing at all.

Jack: Exactly. It could be nothing at all. In which case, why don’t we get it checked out? And then you’ll have peace of mind. Look at you. You’re still shivering. I think it’d be a good idea for you to get checked out too.

Julie: I’m not going anywhere. And neither is my husband.

Steve: I know brides can take their sweet time getting ready, but if we don’t get this party started soon, I’m afraid the jp’s gonna move on to his next gig. I’m gonna go check with the ladies and see if I can get an eta.

Justin: Good, good, good.

Kayla: Okay.

Steve: There they are.

Bonnie: Hi.

Justin: Bonnie, you look absolutely stunning.

Bonnie: You look pretty stunning yourself.

Steve: Where’s calista?

Kayla: Indisposed.

Steve: Too bad.

Justin: So are you ready to do this?

Bonnie: More ready than I’ve been in my entire life. I order my groceries online now.

Jack: There you are.

Gwen: Hi. Hi. Didn’t expect to see you back so soon. Julie, hope you’re doing okay.

Julie: [Chuckles] Please, gwen. I’m sure you were probably praying I’d turn into a popsicle. Excuse me, darling. I’m gonna go check on doug.

Gwen: Doug? What’s wrong with doug?

Jack: We’re not exactly sure.

Riggins: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. Matrimony should be entered into solemnly. With reverence and honor. Therefore, if any person here objects to this union, speak now, or forever hold your peace.

Calista: I have an objection. The bride just tried to kill me!

[Groans]

Gwen: Oh, dear. Do you think it’s dementia?

Jack: I don’t know. I don’t know, but I’m afraid julie’s in denial that anything is wrong.

Gwen: I’m so sorry. Really, I am. Look, I know that julie and i aren’t really pals, but doug–well, he and I shared a few midnight pints together. He’s good people.

Jack: He is. But on the subject of not-so-good people, what were you gonna tell me before julie called, about snyder holding something over you to make you run drugs for him?

Gwen: You know what? Actually, can we just talk about this another time?

Jack: Now would be good.

Gwen: Well, I just see how very worried you are about doug, and I just remembered I have an errand that I have to run.

Jack: But you just got home.

Gwen: Yeah. I won’t be long. Sorry. Yeah. Thanks.

Justin: Bonnie, is something wrong?

Bonnie: [Chuckles] What could be wrong? Marrying a dreamboat like you.

[Chuckles] I’m sorry. Where were we?

Riggins: Matrimony should be entered into solemnly and with reverence and honor. Therefore, if any person here objects to this union, speak now, or forever hold your peace.

Xander: I have an objection.

Justin: What the hell are you doing here?

Xander: Your blushing bride stole $1 million from me, and I want it back.

Justin: Xander. Leave. Now.

Xander: You’re gonna wanna hear this, cuz. I guarantee it. You might even thank me.

Kayla: What’s this about?

Xander: Glad you asked. Quite simple, really. I had a briefcase full of cash in my room which has gone missing, and the only person that could have taken it is bonnie.

Justin: Why would bonnie be in your room?

Xander: Oh, I can think of one million reasons. But why don’t you ask her?

Justin: Bonnie, did you go to xander’s room?

Bonnie: Yes, I did, but to invite this lunkhead to our wedding.

Justin: Why would you do that?

Bonnie: Because he’s family. Victor refused to come, and none of your sons could make it on such short notice, so I thought inviting your cousin would be a nice surprise.

Xander: The only surprise was you running off with all my cash. Although, knowing your history, that’s not really that much of a surprise, is it?

Justin: All right, xander. You’re gonna stop right now.

Steve: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Riggins: This is obviously a private matter. I will give you some time.

Kayla: Xander seems to have a newfound habit of crashing private parties and making scandalous claims.

Xander: Ah, but in the case of nicole and eric’s anniversary party, which is what I assume you’re alluding to, I merely stated fact. And that party is strangely relevant, because that’s how I earned the million dollars in question. And in that case, my scandalous claim was true, just as it is in this case. Isn’t that right, bonnie?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Ridge: Hang on a sec. Sheila’s back?

Brooke: At your house?

Ridge: Hey, she wants to spend more time with him. What’s going on, steffy? Where is she now?

Steffy: She’s in the hospital.

Ridge: What?

Steffy: Sheila’s in the hospital. Finn’s with her. Oh my god.

Steffy: I’m terrified knowing what she’s gonna do next. What she’s planning. Like, how is she gonna try to contact you?

Finn: That’s not gonna happen.

Steffy: You swore that she would never come near you or our son. She’s never gonna be satisfied, finn. She’s not. Now that she’s held our son.

Finn: I’m not trying to hurt you, but you need to go. You said that you would leave and never come back.

Sheila: That was my intention. And then steffy burst in and she ruined my moment with my grandson. I would just like to hold him one more time.

Finn: No. No, you need to honor your word and just stay away from us. My son and I will have no part of your life. Not ever.

[ Thud ]

Finn: Whoa, whoa, hey. Sheila. Hey, sheila. Sheila! Hey. Sheila.

Nurse: I’ve been doing this a lot of years.

Finn: Sorry?

Nurse: Monitoring patients. Checking vitals. I’m pretty good at it. You’re pretty good at it too.

Finn: At what?

Nurse: Not looking over nurse’s shoulders. Letting us do our jobs. It’s why we all like working with you.

Finn: I didn’t realize that’s what I was doing, emily. I apologize.

Nurse: No need. I was teasing. Plus I understand.

Finn: You understand?

Nurse: Why you’re keeping a close eye on the patient too. She’s a relative, right?

Finn: How’d you know?

Nurse: Nurses see all, know all. I’m guessing an aunt.

Finn: No. She’s my mother.

Zende: Hmm. I don’t know. Still not sure about the waist. It’s missing something. A belt, maybe? How’s that feel?

Sakoya: I like it.

Zende: I meant the belt.

Sakoya: Maybe you should get a second opinion.

Zende: Paris, hey! How long have you been standing there?

Paris: Long enough to know that you’re in trouble. That belt, you can’t be serious with that.

Sakoya: That’s what I told him.

Paris: Yeah, you did. It’s too much. It takes away from her gorgeous waistline.

Zende: Okay, but like I was saying to sakoya, it still needs something.

Paris: What about a beaded waistline?

Zende: You mean a beaded belt?

Paris: No, beads sewn directly onto the fabric in a fun, geometric pattern? Something that really catches the eye. In a good way.

Zende: Start sewing.

Paris: Excuse me?

Zende: Your suggestion. The beaded waistline. Show me exactly what you had in mind.

Paris: Ha! Right. Yeah, right. No.

Zende: What? With your eye, your fashion sense, I can’t wait to see how it turns out. He’s always like this, isn’t he?

Sakoya: I know you’re keeping it on the dl, but you’re really lucky, having a guy like zende.

[ Laughing ]

Zende: She’s right.

Paris: How lucky I am?

Zende: It goes both ways. For instance, I’m lucky I get to work in the same building as you. Not only do I get to benefit from your amazing suggestions and on-point fashion sense, I get to do a lot of this.

Ridge: Why is sheila at the hospital?

Brooke: What happened?

Steffy: Apparently, she passed out and finn took her to the hospital.

Ridge: Finn took her to the hospital. How is that possible? He was gonna stay away from her.

Steffy: According to finn, she just showed up. She just came to our house.

Ridge: Just came to the house. I knew this was gonna happen. Because this woman– it doesn’t matter who raised finn. She thinks she’s his mother, his only mother.

Finn: I am so sorry about earlier. The things I said. I’m worried that’s what upset you and caused you to collapse. And yes, I need to honor my wife’s wishes. But I just met you. The woman that I’ve been wondering about my entire life. And if I were to lose you now? I can’t lose you.

[ Sighing ]

Sheila: Finn?

Finn: Mom? Hey. Hey.

Sheila: My son.

Finn: Hey. Yes, mom. Mom. Hey, it’s finn, yeah. Hey, I’m right here. I’m right here by your side. Smooth dark chocolate, refreshing peppermint,

Zende: Thanks. I’ll let steffy know when I see her.

Paris: Someone looking for steffy?

Zende: Yeah, but I can handle it if I can do anything to lighten the load at work.

Paris: You’re worried about steffy too.

Zende: Especially after everything you told me earlier. I mean, she and finn are newlyweds. He’s sleeping in the guest house?

Paris: That’s what she wants.

Zende: No, what she wants is sheila completely out of their lives. But she comes home unexpectedly, finds her mother-in-law from hell there holding her baby. Only to find out that finn allowed it?

Paris: He was being pressured by her dad. Sheila was waiting outside.

Zende: I know, I’m not taking sides. And finn is super cool. He’s also the best thing that’s happened to steffy in a long time. They haven’t even filed their marriage certificate yet.

Paris: Well, they were supposed to do that today, but steffy cancelled the appointment until this whole situation with sheila is resolved.

Zende: That’s why you think my cousin’s overreacting.

Paris: Look, I know that you and steffy are family. But yeah, I do think that she’s treating finn unfairly. She has to realize how lucky she is to be married to a guy like that.

Brooke: What else did finn say?

Ridge: More importantly, what did the doctors say?

Steffy: It’s too soon to know anything.

Ridge: It’s too soon to figure out if she maybe faked all this? This is classic sheila carter.

Steffy: I don’t blame him. He did the right thing. He told her to leave.

Ridge: Oh and don’t tell me, that’s when she collapsed, right? That’s convenient, isn’t it?

Brooke: That woman is a master of manipulation. She is so calculated with everything she does. Nobody is immune.

Ridge: Even her own son.

Steffy: Despite everything we told him, he is vulnerable to her. But I’m going to make sure he’s not manipulated by that monster again. I have to go.

[ Sighing ]

Sheila: Finn. My son, my son. Is that you?

Finn: Yeah, mom, it’s me. It’s finn. I’m right here.

Sheila: Where are we?

Finn: In the hospital.

Sheila: The hospital?

Finn: You collapsed at the house. Do you remember?

Sheila: I wanted to see you and hayes. I love you both so much. But I couldn’t see you. You wouldn’t let me because of steffy. Literally felt like my heart was being broken in two. I wouldn’t be able to see you or my beautiful grandson ever again. That’s the last thing I remember before I collapsed. But you didn’t leave me. You’re here with me. You stayed by your mother’s side. Ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete,

Zende: I am sure that steffy realizes how fortunate she is sharing her life with a guy like finn.

Paris: Yeah, I hope so. Because guys like finn are few and far between.

Zende: I am standing right here. You keep talking like this, I’m gonna start thinking that you have a crush on the good doctor.

Paris: Oh please, that is steffy’s husband. I tell you one thing, if that were my husband, I would not be treating him the way steffy’s treating him right now. I mean, I get it. It’s complicated, this whole thing with sheila. But finn can’t help who his birth mother is.

Ridge: Maybe we should have gone with steffy to the hospital.

Brooke: You’re worried what she might do when she sees sheila.

Ridge: No, I know exactly what she’s gonna do when she sees her. I’m worried about what I’m gonna do when I’m in a room with that woman.

Brooke: I think that’s true for all of us.

Ridge: She’s tormented my family for so long. And now she’s going after my daughter. And her marriage. And it’s not working is it? And when things don’t work for her, she gets desperate and when she gets desperate–

Brooke: Honey, honey. I know you’re concerned. I am too. But as clever as sheila is, she is in the hospital. There’s nothing that she can do. They’re gonna do a bunch of tests on her and they’re gonna find out there’s nothing wrong with her. Nothing physically.

Ridge: But she always finds a way. She always finds a way to cause trouble. She wants to hurt my daughter now. Am I asking too much? Really, all I want is for that woman to rot in hell because of everything that she’s done to the people I love. Too much to ask, really?

Finn: I need to get your doctor. Let them know you’re conscious again.

Sheila: I don’t want you to leave me. Please don’t leave me.

Finn: I’m gonna be right back. You need to rest. Save your energy. Just rest. You can trust me. I’ll be right back.

Nurse: I was just coming in. How is she?

Finn: She’s awake. Came to a few moments ago. Where’s dr. Griffith?

Nurse: I’ll go page her.

Finn: Okay.

Steffy: Finn!

Finn: Hey. Honey, you didn’t need to come. I know how you feel about sheila.

Steffy: I had to be here, for your sake.

Finn: Well, you don’t have to worry. She regained consciousness. Hopefully, she’s gonna be okay.

Steffy: What do you mean she’s gonna be okay? There was nothing wrong with her in the first place. Doing it yourself

Brooke: I feel the same way you do. Sheila is depraved and she is vile. And this latest stunt, it just proves the lengths she’ll go to to be in finn’s life.

Ridge: Yes, finn’s life. But not just finn’s life. Hayes’s life. She’s around, she’s gonna influence that little boy. Maybe not now because he’s a baby. But later on, she– we just gotta take care of this. We gotta deal with it.

Brooke: I thought we did deal with it. Last time she turned up in la. And look, she’s back. And in a way none of us ever anticipated, as finn’s birth mother? And steffy’s mother-in-law? I mean, your daughter is more tied to her now than she ever was before.

Ridge: I know all that. This woman, she shows up and she causes trouble, she always causes trouble. And yes, she wants a relationship with finn, and hayes and all of us, the forresters. That’s what she wants. She’s obsessed with this family. I’m not gonna let steffy deal with this on her own. She’s strong and she’s tough, but sheila, she’s whacked. And it’s gonna take all of us to take care of it. We have to deal with this once and for all.

Finn: I can understand why you might jump to that conclusion but she–

Steffy: Oh come on, this is clearly just an act. You’re telling me she just collapsed out of nowhere? Really?

Finn: Steffy, you weren’t there. You didn’t see what I saw.

Steffy: Okay, tell me exactly that you saw. I want to know everything.

Finn: Okay, this is just gonna have to wait. Okay? Sheila, she just regained consciousness, her doctor hasn’t even seen her yet.

Steffy: Okay, well I wanna see her.

Finn: Okay, just– she’s a little out of it. Okay, please don’t do or say anything that might upset her.

Finn: She may have fallen asleep.

Steffy: She can fake that too. Seems fine to me.

Finn: She collapsed. It was sudden.

Steffy: She did that to scare you. To make you worried. It’s just a ploy.

Finn: I’m a doctor, steffy. You may think sheila’s collapse was all for show–

Steffy: But you don’t? Really?

Finn: We need to wait for the test results.

Steffy: Okay, I can’t wait. Because then we’ll all find out it’s just an act, sheila.

Finn: Come on, steffy.

Steffy: You come on! She’s manipulating you. Don’t you see that? My god. I love you. I really do and I know you’re in a really tough position right now. She gave birth to you and you’re still trying to let go of the fact that she brought you into this world, but she’s done all of these terrible, criminal things. She is evil. She lies and manipulates. She does it over and over and she’s doing it right now. You need to just– you need to let go. You need to walk away. It is obvious. Just walk away from this, please. Not just for me and the kids. But you need to do it for yourself. Leave and never come back. It’s that easy.

Sheila: Damn you, steffy. Don’t listen to her, finn. Don’t leave me. Don’t leave your mother.

Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Recap written by Christine

Rey showed up at Adam’s office. Sighing deeply, Adam asked what Rey was going to try and arrest him for this time. Rey was actually there with Connor’s baseball cap. He explained that he ran into Connor and the nanny at the park, and they talked. When Connor left, he forgot his cap. Adam said it was Connor’s favorite. Rey turned to leave, but Adam said that thought Rey deserved props for rescuing Mariah. Rey gave the credit to Devon, who followed up on his feeling about Stitch. Adam had no idea things got so far off course. Rey thought Adam was insinuating that he should’ve gotten updates on the case, as if he were part of the inner circle. Adam said he cared. “About Mariah or about Sharon?,” Rey asked. Adam commented that this was the longest conversation they’d ever had without Sharon coming up. He felt that Rey’s jealousy was constant.

Adam said that not everything was about Sharon. Abby was his sister, and the baby was his nephew. Rey sarcastically replied that he forgot how close Abby and Adam were. Adam stated that he cared about Mariah, but Rey contended he only cared because she was Sharon’s daughter. “So you’re saying that I should just hit the off switch on my feelings? That Sharon doesn’t deserve any of my concern?,” Adam asked. Rey noted that he never said that, but Adam thought that’s what he meant. Adam said that his past with Sharon couldn’t be erased. She was the most decent loving person he knew, and he only cared about what was best for her and the people who mattered to her. He said Rey could accept that or he could fly into a rage every time he heard the name Adam.

Rey felt that Adam had enough to deal with in his own family without inserting himself in anyone else’s. “Stop worrying about Sharon’s daughter. Worry about your son,” Rey snapped. Adam asked why – because he lost his hat? When Rey talked with Connor at the park, he could tell something was going on with him. He said Adam was here, and Chelsea was out of state, which could get confusing for a kid. Adam was adamant that his family was under control. It didn’t sound like that to Rey. Adam ordered Rey to leave. Rey said that Connor was wondering when he and his parents would be a family again – he was smart and he could tell things were different. Rey wasn’t telling Adam how to handle things, but he asserted that things needed handling. He told Adam to focus on that and not what was going on in Sharon’s life.

Moses bumped into Faith at the park. She was going to see Mariah, and she invited him along, but he declined, because he assumed Mariah wasn’t up for meeting someone new right now. He said they’d catch up later. He’d spend his time brainstorming about their first date.

Tessa and Mariah went to Crimson Lights to get coffee, but Mariah quickly became entranced by a woman with a baby, and she didn’t hear Sharon asking for her order. After the mother left, Sharon gave Mariah a drink. Mariah felt reassured because it tasted just like it did before she got kidnapped. Sharon was concerned because Mariah didn’t answer her earlier. Mariah said she just spaced out. Sharon could tell there was something going on, and she assured Mariah that she could talk. Mariah admitted things had been difficult. For so long, it was just her and Bowie. She spent her time talking to the baby. She promised him she’d keep him safe and that they’d make it out alive. Tessa said that was a lot of pressure Mariah put on herself, especially when she didn’t know what was going on. Mariah said that it was her job, more than a job, Bowie had been her reason for living. Then came the intense and urgent rescue and birth. Then Bowie – Dominic went home with his mother. Sharon stated that Mariah bonded with the baby, and now she felt something had been taken from her.

Mariah said she and the baby had a real bond, which she wasn’t supposed to feel. She knew he wasn’t her baby. Tessa thought it was okay for Mariah to feel a bond with the baby. Mariah asked what to do with the feelings. Sharon said that the connection wouldn’t go away – he was Abby’s son, but he wouldn’t be there without Mariah. Mariah thought she had to train herself out of calling him Bowie, but Sharon felt it was okay for Mariah to have a special nickname for him. Tessa thought that Dominic would be happy to have such a cool nickname. Sharon thought it was really important for Mariah to tell Abby all this. Mariah wasn’t sure, but Sharon said Abby was a friend, and she wanted what was best for Mariah.

Faith rushed in and hugged Mariah. Tessa and Sharon thought the sisters needed time, so they went out to the patio. They smiled as they heard Mariah and Faith laughing inside. Mariah told Faith that her pledge to torture and destroy Stitch would get her and Mariah locked away forever. Mariah liked how protective Faith was, though. Faith asked if Mariah was okay. Her parents wouldn’t tell her much, because they didn’t want her to freak out. Mariah understood that, because Faith had a rough year. Faith asserted that she was stronger now, and she wanted to help. Mariah suggested that they do a girls’ night soon and they’d talk about everything. Mariah wasn’t ready to talk just yet. Faith told Mariah not to feel pressured to move on. She thought Mariah should focus on the people who cared about her now. Mariah said that Faith had changed in the short time Mariah was away – she was more positive and solid. She asked if this had anything to do with Moses. Faith confirmed that it did.

Later, Sharon and Mariah were alone together. Tessa was on the patio on the phone. Mariah said Tessa was canceling her gig to spend as much time with Mariah as possible. Mariah was grateful Tessa wanted to take care of her, but they worked so hard on Tessa’s career, and she didn’t want Tessa to start canceling things because of her. Sharon said that they might seem clingy because, for weeks, they were all upset and frustrated, thinking Mariah was pushing them away, then when they learned the truth, they were kicking themselves for not realizing Stitch manipulated them. Mariah didn’t want them feeling guilty. She didn’t want to have to keep reassuring people that she didn’t blame them. Sharon said she’d try not to blame herself. Mariah knew Sharon and Nick shielded Faith from what happened. Mariah said that Faith was growing up fast, and she was strong, so they should treat her that way.

Sharon was caught off guard, and Mariah got nervous, when Adam walked in. Adam was happy Mariah was safe and back home. She mumbled thanks, and he asked if he’d said something wrong. “Yeah, sorry if I’m a little tense around people like you right now, but I was just freed from the clutches of a madman who kidnapped me without a care for the life of an unborn baby because he wanted to win back a certain woman and get her to like him again,” she replied. She got up and put distance between them. Adam was sorry for what Mariah went through. He was just trying to express sympathy, and he knew he wasn’t one of her favorite people. Sharon said Adam wouldn’t try to do anything to make Mariah uncomfortable. Adam said he wouldn’t interrupt, and he walked away. Mariah felt like Sharon always took Adam’s side. Sharon said she wasn’t taking his side, she was just trying to defuse the situation. “Point taken,” Mariah said. Tessa returned – they wouldn’t let her out of the gig. Mariah was glad, because she felt fine. She just needed to go home and pump for the baby. Sharon asked Mariah to let her know if she needed anything.

After Mariah and Tessa left, Sharon asked Adam what he was doing here after he’d said he was going to keep his distance. He’d come to get her advice, as Connor’s former therapist, on how to talk to him about Chelsea. Adam thought he’d made a mistake coming here, so he left. Rey arrived later and Sharon thanked him again for bringing Mariah home safe. He thought Devon deserved a lot of the credit. He thought he should’ve paid more attention to Sharon’s intuition that something was wrong. Sharon said all that mattered was that Mariah was home now. She hoped Mariah wouldn’t be scarred for life. Rey said Mariah was a warrior, which got her through this ordeal. He thought what she needed most was to know the people around her loved her and had her back. The way Sharon reacted made Rey ask if something else happened. Sharon said that Mariah got hostile and aggressive with Adam, and when Sharon tried to keep the peace, Mariah accused her of taking his side. Sharon said she wasn’t doing that, it was all about Mariah’s reaction. She hoped she didn’t upset Rey. He said it was fine. She agreed that Mariah was a warrior, but it was going to take a lot for her to get through this, and she hoped Mariah got the hope she needed. Rey said that he had his own run in with Adam today. He said they got into it about Adam’s refusal to stay out of Sharon’s life. He wasn’t surprised Adam showed up here and tried to get into the middle of things with Sharon and Mariah. Sharon mentioned that Adam said he came to get her advice on what Connor was going through. She believed Adam was sincere about wanting to be a better person, she just didn’t know if he had the skill set yet.

Devon was at the Chancellor house. He wistfully picked up a pair of baby booties, which he quickly dropped as Abby returned and reported that Dominic was napping. Abby sensed that Mariah was going through a hard time, and not just with the kidnapping, and she got the feeling that Devon was going through a hard time too. He said if he seemed like he was having a hard time it was because he was trying to figure out how to best support her. He noted that she had to figure out how to parent without Chance for the time being. She pointed out that women took care of babies with or without partners for centuries. He didn’t want to burden her by being here too much, but he also didn’t want to leave her hanging. She assured him he’d never be a burden. She wanted him to come by whenever he wanted. She stated that he was her best friend, and she could talk to him about things she couldn’t share with Mariah, Nina or Ashley. She hoped that he didn’t start hiding things from her. He agreed to be open and honest with her.

Devon asked what Abby noticed with Mariah. Abby mentioned Mariah’s nightmare. She thought Mariah was just pretending to be okay. Devon thought that was understandable, given what she went through. Abby noted that Mariah was trapped in the room, with no way of knowing if anyone was looking for her, and she was trying to protect the baby. Devon was sure Mariah felt like it was her and the baby against the world. Abby said Mariah gave birth, and she had to hand the baby over. She must feel overwhelmed. Devon said Stitch took Mariah from her friends and her family, and she wasn’t able to make plans, go shopping for the baby, go to the doctor’s appointments together. He was sure Mariah had some things to work through, but it wasn’t about Abby or the baby. It was about what Stitch put her through. He advised Abby sit Mariah down and talk to her.

While Abby was upstairs, Devon talked to Christine on the phone. Abby returned, and Devon broke the news that Chance had gone even deeper undercover, and Christine couldn’t get a message to him. Abby choked back tears. She was trying to be patient, but Chance deserved to know he had a son, and Dominic deserved to meet his father. Devon told Abby to remember there was nothing Chance wanted more than to get back to her. Abby was stunned when Devon said it might be a good thing that Chance didn’t know about Dominic’s birth. Devon explained that if Chance had to go that deep undercover, things must have gotten intense, and if he knew the baby was born, that might distract him, or make him feel more guilty than he already felt. Abby said that Devon always knew just what to say.

Faith went back to the park, and Moses was there with Devon. Devon had just spoke with Sofia on the phone, and he’d tried to convince her that it was worthwhile for Moses to stay in Genoa City even though he was no longer pursuing a career in medicine. Moses’ mom had been noncommittal, so Devon said it was up to Moses to convince her to let him stay, if that’s what he wanted. Moses stared at Faith and said that was what he wanted.

As Devon was leaving the park, Tessa and Mariah arrived. Devon said he was there for Mariah if she needed him. She thanked him, but he’d already done so much. She said everything would be fine – she had the best support team in the world, him included. “You’ll always be the guy who delivered my baby,” she said. Tessa said she should get Mariah home, and Devon asked if everything was okay. Mariah said she was fine; she had to get home to pump for Bow- Dominic. She said Devon would always be a hero. The rest of the conversation played out as a voice over, while a scene of Abby and Dominic was on the screen. Abby walked around holding Dominic as Devon said he was in the right place at the right time, which didn’t make him a hero. He said he was struggling with things too, just like everyone else.

Abby put Dominic in his bassinet and told him she’d be right back. While she was upstairs, Mariah came in and called for Abby. She didn’t see her, but she saw Dominic and she went over and cooed over him. “Did you miss me? Cause I missed you so much,” she said. She hummed the lullaby Tessa wrote. Abby came in and stopped in the doorway and watched with a concerned look on her face.

Devon went home and looked at a picture of himself with Neil. He then flashed back to Dominic’s birth.

Faith told Moses that this was the most important phone call of his entire life, and she wanted to make it a success. She said she’d play his mom, so he could rehearse, and he laughed because she didn’t look a thing like his mom. She didn’t think that was important. She told him to take out his phone and pretend to make the call. He did so, and as “Sofia” Faith asked Moses if he was wasting his time on girls. Moses said there was one girl, but she was not a waste of time. “Sofia” demanded that Moses tell her all about this girl, or she’d make him come back to NY. He said Faith was one in a trillion, and she had a great family – her grandfather used to work with his father. He thought Faith was smart, beautiful, funny, fun and she made him happy. He thought she was honest, thoughtful and fearless, and she was one of the reasons he couldn’t come home yet. “Sofia” asked what about her. Moses said his mom could come visit him in Genoa City. He stated that this place and these people were part of Neil, which made them part of Moses too. He promised that his mom would never lose him. The fake call ended, and Faith told Moses that he’d do great.

Billy: Well, you missed a doozy of a party last night.

Victoria: Well, no black eyes, no bruises. You don’t seem hungover. Those are all very positive signs.

Billy: No, I was on very good behavior, although some of the other guests, not so much.

Victoria: Really?

Billy: Yeah. There is a new troublemaker in town, and she is not afraid to take on the big dogs. Her name…

Victoria: Drum roll…

Billy: Sally spectra.

Victoria: Oh, really? What has sally pulled now?

Sally: Good morning.

Lily: And I think you’ll find everything in order, as we discussed.

Elena: [ Sighs ] I could only imagine what kind of glamorous perks newman media was gonna counter-offer with.

Lily: Wait. Newman media tried to steal you away?

Elena: Yeah. Nate didn’t tell you? Victor asked me last night if i had already signed my contract with chanccomm. He was apparently gonna make me this lucrative offer.

Lily: [ Exhales sharply ] Oh, my god. I cannot believe they would try to poach you like that.

[ Sighs ] Okay, well, I guess the gloves are off. The competition has officially begun.

[ Door closes ]

Sharon: Victor. Um, dominic and his entourage should be here pretty soon.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] This looks wonderful here. How is mariah doing after her ordeal?

Sharon: You know, she’s really going through a rough time, and we’re all doing everything we can to help her.

Victor: Oh, well, considering what mariah has done for abby, it will not be forgotten.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Sharon: Oh, um, that’s probably them now.

Victor: Oh. Wow.

Ashley: The grandmas have arrived!

Nina: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: All in all, I’d say the launch was a huge success. Newman media is off to a great start. I mean, adam even brought up the new hope tie-in in his opening speech.

Devon: Oh, that’s great, man. I apologize for not being there.

Nick: [ Chuckling ] Oh, come on, man. You’ve got enough going on. I can imagine when you signed on to help chance and abby create a baby, you didn’t think that you’d be literally delivering the baby, as well.

Devon: Dude, you have no idea. And the hardest part of the whole thing wasn’t even the actual birth. It was trying to wrap my mind around what the hell stitch did.

Nick: Yeah. Shocking. But you know what? It all worked out. And you, my friend, ended up looking like a real hero.

Mariah: Uh, hey, abby, have they heard anything about stitch at all? Does rey know where he is?

Abby: No, but I still believe that since he took max out of that care facility, he wouldn’t risk coming back here.

Tessa: Well, if he knows what’s good for him, he won’T. I hope him and max are far, far away from G.C.

Abby: You don’t have to worry. Devon hired extra security at the house. You’re gonna be safe.

Mariah: And dominic will be, too.

Tessa: Yeah.

Adam: Good morning.

Sally: I didn’t expect to see you up and out so early this morning.

Adam: Sally, relax.

Sally: Yeah, that’s easy for you to say ’cause after that kiss last night and you telling me that nothing like that can ever happen again, I can’t help but wonder what you might think of me in the cold light of day.

Adam: Oh, you mean this awkwardness — it had nothing to do with your little champagne and ice battle with phyllis?

Sally: She deserved that, and you know it. But, yes, yes, I do feel a little bit guilty about that. I’m just glad there’s not a meme of me drenched going viral somewhere ’cause that’s the last thing you need as the takeaway from your big event.

Adam: No, the night was an unqualified success, even if everybody did get a little side of drama with their shrimp puffs.

Sally: So, where does this leave us? We good?

Adam: We are good.

Sally: Great. So…dinner then?

Victoria: So, sally and adam — they showed up together at the party? Wow. Well, I have to say, the two of them royally deserve one another.

Billy: That’s actually not the only embarrassing moment sally had last night. She got into a drink-throwing competition with phyllis, ended up with a bucket of ice poured over her head.

Victoria: Oh, well, for the first time, I think I’m gonna have to side with phyllis after what sally pulled on summer. But I do not regret missing that party because I spent some quality time with our children.

Billy: Well, I’m not knocking you spending quality time with the children, of course, but nick told me that the reason you and ashland weren’t at the party is because he had his last chemo session. I hope he’s doing okay.

Victoria: Do you? Do you really? I mean, if you really cared, would you be going full steam ahead with your little locke story? You know, the one that was supposed to be about tara?

Billy: News is news.

Victoria: Yeah, well, I have a feeling it’s about more than that. You profess on one hand to be so supportive, but your focus of the investigation has shifted from the actual criminal, tara, and you’re now zeroing in on ashland.

Billy: I will always support you and our children, of course. It is your best interests that i have at heart.

Victoria: Well, that’s a good thing, but you have to understand that ashland is not the enemy here. I know you, billy. You just can’t help yourself. You will over-play anything negative that your reporters turn up, and you’ll use it to make ashland look bad.

Billy: Whatever we publish, it’ll be unbiased and fair.

Victoria: Well, I wish i could believe that, but I can already tell that this is going in an aggressive direction.

Billy: You feel that way because you sense it, too. Ashland is hiding something big.

Nate: Ashland. How you feeling?

Ashland: I’m doing much better. Thank you. Those supplements you gave me are definitely helping.

Nate: Glad to hear it.

Ashland: Now I want to repay the favor.

Nate: Hey, that’s absolutely not necessary.

Ashland: Well, uh, don’t turn it down until you see the number.

Nate: Seriously, it’s not that big of a deal.

[ Sighs ] Okay, are — are you kidding me? Look, I don’t know what those doctors in manhattan are charging you, but this — this is insane. Those supplements weren’t lined with gold or crushed diamonds.

Ashland: I’m well aware. This money is not for you.

Sharon: Abby’s gonna be so thrilled that the two of you are here.

Ashley: I’m just thrilled we were able to make it here in time for dominic’s homecoming.

Nina: Our little grandson.

Ashley: I know!

Nina: He truly is a miracle baby. I mean, we’re lucky he made it, in spite of everything that stitch did.

Ashley: I know. I can’t believe he put that child in such jeopardy, not to mention what he did to mariah.

Nina: It’s over now. Everyone’s safe and sound.

Ashley: Yeah. And we just have to be grateful, right? Because even though dominic was early, his vitals are healthy and strong. And we can just focus on the positive now.

Nina: Yeah. I’m just missing one thing. I — I really wish I could talk to chance.

Victor: Well, now, I wish he were here to welcome his son home.

Nina: Yeah. But I am not going to let anything get me down today. And, besides, chance wouldn’t want us missing him and worrying about him today. He’d want us to have a joyous and memorable homecoming for abby and the baby and mariah.

Tessa: Okay. So, how are you feeling?

Mariah: Uh…can’t lie. I’m — I’m a little anxious. My nerves are on edge just thinking about leaving here.

Tessa: Why? Most people are thrilled to leave the hospital.

Mariah: [ Sighs ] Yeah, but I just felt so safe here. And bowie was right down the hall, and I… when we go back to abby’s, the entire dynamic is gonna shift, and…I have to remember to start calling him dominic.

Tessa: I know that this is gonna be really difficult, but we’re still living at the chancellor house, so you’ll get to see the baby every day.

Mariah: Yeah. You’re right. You’re right. You know, it’s gonna be a lot better just knowing that he’s close by and I can see him and I can watch over him. It’s gonna be okay. It will be okay. It has to be okay.

Abby: The paperwork’s all taken care of. Now, let’s bring our baby boy home.

Frank is a fan of fast.

He’s a fast talker.

Billy: Come on. Be honest with me. Be honest with yourself. How much do you really know about ashland’s past — more specifically, his early years in the business world?

Victoria: So, it was you digging around in ashland’s past. Lily wouldn’t admit it outright.

Billy: There’s nothing to admit if his past was squeaky-clean, but it’s not.

Victoria: Okay, so, what are you gonna do? Are you just gonna keep digging around until you uncover something negative and then run a headline about it? Well, I have a news flash for you, billy. You dig around in anyone’s past long enough, you’ll find someone willing to trash them.

Billy: Victoria, it’s a very logical question. How did ashland pay for those two news stations? There is no record of bank loans or other investors, and it begs the question — what is the nature of his relationship with a much older, very wealthy mentor?

Victoria: Okay. That’s enough. Stay out of ashland’s life. Stay out of our lives.

Billy: Victoria, where’d the money come from? What’s he hiding, vick?

Nick: What the hell was that about?

Billy: I think I hit a nerve.

Chloe: Hey, guys.

Adam: Chloe. Hey, we missed you at the launch party last night.

Chloe: Yeah, it looks like i missed a lot. Sorry I missed it. Miles wasn’t feeling well.

Sally: Well, I’m sure you’re gonna hear about this sooner or later eventually, so you might as well hear about it from me. Phyllis and I got into it again.

Chloe: Ah, why am I not surprised?

Adam: Sally is totally underselling it. She threw a glass of champagne in phyllis’s face, and phyllis retaliated by pouring an ice bucket over her head.

Sally: Okay, you left out the part where phyllis goaded me into it.

Chloe: Adam, you know their dynamic. Why didn’t you keep an eye on them to make sure that things didn’t get out of control?

Adam: Thanks, chloe. I know that you can always find a reason to blame me for anything.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] So, what sort of damage control are we talking about here?

Sally: None, actually, whatsoever. Nobody posted a video of it, the press didn’t get a hold of it, and I’m sure that is a testament to adam’s outstanding P.R. Management.

Adam: Ah, she’s giving me more credit than I deserve. It was, uh, mostly just dumb luck. But I’m sure that you’ve noticed all the positive buzz we’ve gotten, so you should use that to your advantage for the fashion platform.

Chloe: Yeah, I’m already on it.

Adam: Oh, you should ask sally about the idea she came up with last night at the launch. It might be just what we need. Anyway, uh, I’ll see you at the office later.

Chloe: Well, I bet I know exactly what your great idea is all about.

Lily: God, newman media will stoop so low to beat chanccomm by any means necessary.

Elena: Lily, it’s totally fine. I am signing this contract. And just to make things perfectly clear, I didn’t entertain victor’s offer for even a second.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, thank you. I’m very grateful for that. Loyalty is huge for me. And I promise you it will be repaid. And I’m already excited about all of your ideas.

Elena: Well, that means a lot coming from someone as accomplished as you are.

Lily: Aww. I don’t know about all that, but — [ Chuckles ]

Elena: Oh, I do. I’ve watched you step into this high-powered position with such poise and grace. How could I not admire you?

Lily: Thank you. I mean, it’s been a very long journey to get here.

Elena: Hey, lily, can I ask you a question?

Lily: Yeah, of course.

Elena: Actually, never mind. I don’t want to be intrusive, especially since you are now my boss.

Lily: Alright. You know what? We need to fix that.

Elena: What do you mean?

Lily: Well, we are officially off the clock, okay? And we are gonna go out, and we’re gonna have some long-overdue girl talk.

[ Both laugh ]

Ashley: Can you believe our abby’s a mother? She’s a mommy!

Victor: This is your first grandchild. Welcome to the club. It’s wonderful beyond anything you can imagine.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Devon: Hey!

Sharon: Hey! Did you buy the whole baby store?!

Devon: [ Chuckling ] Oh, no. Hello, everyone.

Victor: Oh, my goodness. Devon.

Ashley: Hi!

Devon: How are you? I just, uh —

Victor: Look at that.

Devon: I just came by to drop off these gifts. But, uh, I don’t want to crowd abby and mariah today. I know it’s a special moment for them.

Sharon: No, it’s a special moment for you, too. You should stay.

Nina: I see them! They’re here.

Devon: Yeah.

Sharon: Welcome, mariah.

Mariah: Hi. Wow.

Devon: Hey.

Ashley: Hi.

Victor: Hello, mariah.

Nina: Hi!

Devon: Looking good.

Abby: Oh, my gosh. Hi!

Nina: Oh!

Devon: There he is.

Abby: [ Sighing ] Ooh! Welcome, dominic, to your new home and family.

Abby: Oh, my gosh. Dominic, this is your grandma. This is grandma ashley.

Nina: Oh, my goodness.

Abby: She is my mom. And this is your other grandma, nana nina. This is chance’s mom.

Ashley: Abby, he’s just beautiful.

Abby: I know. [ Laughs ]

Ashley: Perfect. What a beautiful boy.

Abby: My gosh, dominic, look at all of these decorations.

[ Gasps ] You guys, you really went overboard. Thank you for making this day even more special.

Victor: You are lucky. You know that, don’t you?

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: Huh? You know what family you were born into, full of loving family members, the newmans, abbotts, chancellors, all loving you. You’ll be spoiled. You know that.

[ Laughter ] Yes. You’re the perfect mother.

Abby: Thank you.

Sally: I don’t know what you’re insinuating, chloe, but nothing happened between me and adam last night.

Chloe: Hey, I am not judging. I just saw the pictures online of you arriving on adam’s arm, and you two looked pretty cozy. So, just how did that happen, sally?

Sally: It was a completely innocent, last-minute thing.

Chloe: Nothing with adam is ever innocent. And after all the warnings i gave you, you just had to play with fire. So, how far did it go?

Sally: Things did heat up a little bit between us, but it was just a little.

Chloe: [ Scoffs ] Okay, there is no such thing as little heat. It’s either hot or it’s not. So, what happened?

Sally: It — it was an impulsive kiss, but it didn’t go any farther than that.

Chloe: Well [Sighs] At least you had the sense to slam on the brakes.

Sally: Actually, I was the one who initiated the kiss. It was adam who hit the brakes so hard and so fast I almost got whiplash. He — he’s the one that thought it was a mistake. He said that he was toxic.

Chloe: So, how many people have to tell you that before you finally hear it? Didn’t hearing it from the horse’s mouth at least give you pause?

Sally: Yeah, but isn’t acknowledging that he has a problem a sign of growth?

Chloe: Like a fungus or a wart?

[ Chuckles ] I’m sorry. I just don’t understand how a woman who has such good taste in clothes has such bad taste in men. Adam is uniquely diabolical. No matter how strong or savvy you think you are, he will find a way to wreck you.

Sally: Doesn’t the fact that I can hold my own against phyllis give you any sort of confidence that I can handle difficult people?

Chloe: Why do you want to be in a relationship with a difficult person? Speaking from experience, being in a healthy relationship is like playing everything on easy mode.

Sally: That just sounds a little boring. No offense.

Chloe: Clearly, you’re not gonna take my advice on this, and I obviously can’t stop you from pursuing him, so let me just leave you with one last word of warning.

Sally: More warnings?

Chloe: His and chelsea’s son, connor — he hasn’t had the easiest life, and that poor little boy still thinks that his parents are in a relationship. It is a very difficult situation. So, whatever connection you think that you might have with adam, it is going to get a lot messier before it gets easier.

Nate: Why give me this check if it’s not for me?

Ashland: Victoria told me that her mother volunteered to help you fund-raise for a new wing at the hospital. Consider this half a wing.

Nate: Wow. Uh… I appreciate your generosity, but, uh… I hope you don’t think I was after anything. I treated you the way I would treat anyone I saw in trouble.

Ashland: No, I don’t doubt that for a second. It still doesn’t change my desire to repay your kindness.

Nate: Well, since you’re determined to give this to me, let me at least fill you in on exactly where this money would be going. I would love to give you a proper pitch on how we would use this new wing and why the hospital needs it.

Ashland: Oh, that’s fine. Uh, but let’s not make it too proper.

Nate: Okay. What do you suggest?

Ashland: Why don’t we discuss it over a meal or drinks? I’ll bring victoria, and i believe she tells me that you’re seeing someone?

Nate: Yes. My girlfriend, elena.

Ashland: Oh, good. Well, let’s bring her, too. And when we’re done with the shop talk, we can talk about anything and everything non-medical.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] I appreciate your sincerity and generosity. Your contribution can help save a lot of lives. Well, uh, on that note, I have got to run, but, uh, we will be in touch.

Ashland: Look forward to it.

Nate: Victoria. Good to see you. I, um, guess we will be seeing more of each other real soon.

Victoria: I look forward to it. You two seem to have really bonded since he helped you out the other day.

Ashland: He is quite an impressive person. And I hope you don’t mind that i included you in dinner plans with nate and his girlfriend.

Victoria: No, of course not. That’s a lovely idea.

Ashland: Are you okay? You seem distracted.

Victoria: Uh…I had a run-in with billy. It just seems that no matter what I say, he’s bound and determined to find something damning in your past. Why give your family just ordinary eggs

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Lily: Thank you. The best part is just being able to give jobs to some of the women that I was in prison with, you know? And seeing them turn their lives around like that, I just — I feel really grateful that I’m able to be a part of that.

Elena: Lily, that is so amazing. And I can’t even imagine how difficult that time must have been for you.

Lily: Yeah, it was really, really hard. But the hardest part was just not having my family around. I just missed them so much.

Elena: Yeah, but look at you now. You put all of that behind you, and you fought your way back.

Lily: Yeah. Now my family is pulled together again, you know? And I try to see mattie and charlie as much as I can. And hopefully they’ll come back to genoa city. I mean, a mother can hope.

Elena: [ Laughs ] That would be great.

Lily: Yeah. Now devon and nate have made peace, which is great.

Elena: [ Sighs ] Yeah. I still feel pretty guilty about my part in all of that.

Lily: No. Look, you also played a huge role in bringing them back together again.

Elena: [ Sighs ] That’s kind of you to say, but —

Lily: No. Hey, listen. I’m not just saying that. I am really, really happy that you’re a part of our family.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Thank you. It’s really nice to know that you feel that way about me.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Elena: And now we have a new baby in the family. Well, sort of.

Lily: I know. My god. It’s so weird. It’s like devon’s a dad, but he’s not.

Elena: I know. And is it wrong to say congratulations even though it kind of feels right?

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. I mean, having gone through the surrogacy thing myself, I just really believe that everything’s gonna work out just fine.

Ashley: Look at you. You are so precious. You’re such a beautiful boy.

Devon: You know, mariah really does deserve all the credit for keeping him safe, with everything she went through.

Nina: Yeah. Mariah, I hope you know how grateful we all are to you.

Ashley: So grateful. And I’m so sorry that you had to endure all that. I still can’t comprehend it, i mean, that the ben rayburn i knew was capable of doing something like that.

Sharon: Well, we were all shocked.

Nina: How did you get through it? I mean, you must have been going crazy.

Mariah: Uh, I was, um… yeah, I was frightened, um, confused. I was really lonely, too.

Ashley: I can’t imagine. Do you have any idea why he held you captive like that?

Mariah: No, I… I mean, I-I didn’t — I —

Tessa: Hey, uh, everybody, i think that mariah could use some fresh air. She might be feeling a little claustrophobic after being locked away for so long.

Abby: That’s a great idea, tessa.

Mariah: Thanks. Okay.

Devon: See ya.

Nina: It takes an incredible amount of courage to go through an ordeal like that.

Ashley: I know. She’s a very strong woman. I have a lot of respect for how she’s handling all this.

Sharon: Well, I’m really proud of her. But we can’t disregard the severity of what she’s been through.

Billy: The more I questioned victoria, the more upset she got, until she stormed out.

Nick: Billy, you know my sister. She does not like to be challenged.

Billy: I think she’s more worried about ashland than she wants to admit. And I do know her. When she gets defensive like that, it’s usually because she’s concerned.

Nick: Or maybe she’s just annoyed at your inability to let her live her own life.

Billy: Nick, think about it for a second. She had no answer to how ashland got the money to buy those two news organizations. It was his first deal in a very young career, okay? And it was a lot of money.

Nick: Maybe his mentor privately financed the whole investment to breathe life into her dead husband’s holdings. It could be something as simple as that.

Billy: Yeah, like a favor, off the books, on her deathbed. Sounds super simple.

Nick: I don’t want to argue about this with you, alright? Now, I will say this. I’d be a lot more inclined to go down this path with you if you had something more than suspicions, but you got nothing except this deep desire to find something damning about this man that my sister’s currently with.

Billy: Hold on a second. I have said this before, and I’ll say it again. This is not about jealousy or possessiveness. This is about protecting my children.

Nick: And victoria — because you think she needs your protection.

Billy: Victoria can take on ashland locke with two hands tied behind her back any given day, as long as she has the facts.

Nick: How do you know she doesn’t already?

Billy: [ Sighs ] Look, maybe she’s not asking these big questions because of this colossal merger that’s on her mind. Or maybe it’s because of her fiancé’s fatal illness. Either way, it’s possible, isn’t it? Tell me I’m wrong.

Victor: You’re always wrong, billy boy. Besides, this is none of your business.

Seeing blood when you brush or floss can be a sign of early gum damage.

Sally: Well, surprise, surprise. We meet again.

Adam: I was, uh — I was just meeting with a huge advertiser. Hope you don’t think that I’m stalking you.

Sally: Didn’t even occur to me. I just came in here to change in the gym ’cause it’s a lot closer than going all the way home. Plus, I will take any opportunity to tick phyllis off. She just has to deal with my presence. You know, if you have a minute, there’s something that I would like to address.

Adam: Alright. Is there an issue at the office?

Sally: Well, in a way, it is about work because this job is very important to me and I want to get this right.

Adam: Okay.

Sally: I’ve been thinking that I might like to hit the reset button on where things stand between us. I think we should go back to the way things were before that kiss.

Billy: Of course you’re gonna try and discredit me, but i think, on this one, we’re on the same page.

Victor: Oh, yeah? I doubt that.

Billy: Of course you would.

Victor: By the way, billy boy, I hear from one of my newman media employees that you were sneaking around my private suite at the grand phoenix last night. Don’t do it again, alright?

Billy: You think about what i said.

Nick: You didn’t want billy to know that I was the one who told you about the break-in.

Victor: No. No…because I need information from his sources. I don’t want to cut that off, okay?

Nick: Billy may not seem trustworthy, dad, but I know he’ll do everything he can to prevent ashland from hurting victoria. We all will.

Victor: [ Breathes deeply ] Hope so.

Nick: Well, so far, he seems very open to keeping me in the loop.

Victor: [ Sighs ] Okay. Good. You know, I can’t stand that guy. And I am dying to blow his damn company out of the water. But we cannot afford to lose access to the information that he will give us about ashland locke.

Nick: So far, his investigators haven’t turned up anything that yours didn’T. Everyone wants to know how ashland came into this sudden windfall that put him in the game in the first place, but nobody knows the answer to that mystery yet.

Victor: So, he hasn’t told you anything new? Hmm. Alright. Then I will wait to destroy his company until I find out what i want to know about ashland locke.

Ashland: You know, I really want to see this new surgical wing that dr. Hastings wants to finance come to fruition.

Victoria: You know, it’s really very generous of you. I’m sure your donation is gonna be much appreciated. Memorial hospital has helped so many people in my family.

Ashland: I can imagine. I’ve been very impressed with the treatment I’ve received so far, and I just really would like to give back.

Victoria: I just wish everyone could see this side of you.

Ashland: Well, I don’t care what others think. I only care about what you see in me.

Victoria: I know, but if billy knew about this, he might — he might think of you differently. You know, he still hasn’t called off those reporters. Just today, he was questioning me about how you bought those new stations to start your career.

Ashland: Well, I already told you about that.

Victoria: Yes, but is there anything from that time that you haven’t told me, something that maybe billy might dig up and try to use against you?

Tessa: I don’t want to pressure you, but you were just so quiet in the car.

Mariah: This is so much harder than I thought it would be. I feel conflicted about everything. And I cannot fight this fear that I feel in the pit of my stomach.

Tessa: But you and dominic are safe now. Try to hold on to that.

Mariah: I know. I just… tessa, I can’t seem to let go. This was supposed to be easy. I was supposed to be an incubator, a carrier, and it was gonna be simple to just walk away.

Tessa: But after everything that’s happened, of course it’s not.

Mariah: Yeah. You know, maybe if I hadn’t been locked in that room with bowie — sorry, dominic — growing inside me… fighting to survive, I — I wouldn’t have this connection. But I was. And I do.

Tessa: That’s only natural.

Mariah: Tessa, I was literally his only lifeline. And he was mine. We needed each other to survive. And I think dominic feels that, too.

Abby: My little dominic.

[ Chuckles ] You feel so perfect in my arms. I promise I am always gonna protect you and keep you safe. No one is ever gonna take you from me again.

Adam: I can only assume that chloe had something to do with your sudden change of heart. She’s definitely no fan of mine.

Sally: Yeah, that’s putting it mildly. She has warned me repeatedly about you, and I’ve always taken it with a grain of salt… till today.

Adam: Oh. Well, what did she say that changed your mind?

Sally: She made me aware of the potentially precarious position you’re in with your ex because of your son, and I just would not want to do anything to hurt your little boy.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Connor always comes first with me. There’s no question about that. And that was a big part of why i put the brakes on anything that was happening between us. When I said it would be a big mistake, I was thinking about my son and, you know, how that could affect him.

Sally: I had a feeling that you might say that. So, I think the safest and most uncomplicated path would be my reset-button idea.

Adam: Well, I can’t disagree with you about that. So I guess that means that, uh, the dinner invitation is off the table.

Sally: Well, I mean, not necessarily. We could always make it a working dinner. Nothing wrong with that, right?

Adam: Um… right. Mm-hmm.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Mm-hmm. Oh, I’m sorry. I got to take this. It’s chelsea.

[ Clears throat ]

Sally: Yeah, of —

Adam: Hello?

Sally: Of course.

[ Sighs ]

Victor: Are you with me on this?

Nick: Playing the double agent, finding out everything billy knows, and reporting back to you?

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Nick: I’m in.

Victor: You know how important it is to find out everything about ashland locke. There’s something about him i don’t trust. And I want to get all that information that’s pertinent before he marries your sister, before the wedding, if there is a wedding.

Victoria: You can be completely honest with me.

Ashland: I don’t doubt that.

Victoria: I grew up the daughter of victor newman. There’s nothing that you can say that’s gonna shock me. I hope you know you can trust me with anything.

Ashland: And I do. I trust you with my life.

Victoria: I’m about to become your wife and your business partner. We can’t have any secrets between us.

Ashland: There’s nothing to worry about. I have been ruthless, but I have never broken the law. And I defy billy or anyone else to prove otherwise.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ciara, what are you talking about?

Ciara: Well, I know it’s a lot to process, but in order for the species to survive, humans have to procreate, and that is reproduce as tiny, little human beings called babies.

Ben: Oh, you think you’re so funny, don’t you?

Ciara: Oh, I know I’m so funny.

Ben: Hmm, and I know what babies are. But are you serious about us having one?

Calista: Well, have a seat.

Steve: Okay. But, uh, we haven’t been introduced. I’m steve johnson. And you must be…

Calista: Calista lockhart.

[Chuckles]

Steve: Nice to meet you.

Calista: Oh, the pleasure’s all mine, handsome.

[Both chuckle]

Justin: Bonnie’s not here?

Kayla: Um, not yet.

Justin: But wasn’t she planning to come by so you could help her get ready for the wedding?

Kayla: I guess she running a little late.

Justin: That’s strange. She left the house a while ago. Calista did say she had an errand to run, but still, she should have been here by now.

Xander: Settle down! I said I’m coming. You don’t have to bang quite so loudly, mate. You’re practically rattling the bed.

Jack: Gwen… what was snyder blackmailing you with? He must have had something pretty serious for you to agree to run drugs for him.

Gwen: Jack… you have to understand– I never wanted to hurt you.

Jack: Hurt me? How?

[Cell phone rings] Ah, just a minute. Uh, I’ll get rid of this. Uh, julie–julie, look, I-I’m sorry. I’m in the middle of something. Can we– what?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Jack: Julie, look, I’ll be there as soon as I can. All right, all right.

Gwen: What’s wrong? What’s happened to julie?

Jack: I’m sorry. I’m sorry. We’ll continue this conversation later. She’s locked in the freezer at julie’s place.

Gwen: Okay. Yeah, we’ll talk whenever, then.

[Door opens, closes]

[Sighs]

[Dramatic music]

Ej: I apologize if I made my presence known a little too forcefully. You weren’t answering, and I thought you’d like to see your employment contract.

Xander: Oh, nicole signed it?

Ej. Even dotted the I. Ah, ah, ah, not so fast. I’d like my money first.

Xander: Huh. That’s why you were so enthusiastic. You’ll get your money once I’m sure that you did what you said you would.

Ej: I assure you this employment contract is on the up-and-up.

Xander: I’ll be the judge of that. Sit tight. This might be a while.

Kayla: You are acting like a nervous groom.

Justin: I’m not acting. I mean, it takes a while for a bride to get ready for a wedding, right?

Kayla: It depends on the bride.

Justin: Well, bonnie isn’t exactly your rush-through-it kind of gal.

Kayla: Well, I will agree with you on that.

Justin: So why isn’t she here to start the process?

Kayla: You know, I really– I wouldn’t worry about bonnie.

Justin: Easy to say, but you and I both know that bonnie can be… unpredictable.

Kayla: Granted. Okay, as matron of honor, I will–I will figure it out. I will… I will track her down.

Justin: Oh, thanks.

Xander: There aren’t any surprises in here, are there?

Ej: Of course not. You’re welcome to take as long as you need, but you’ll see that all the terms and conditions are very clearly laid out.

Xander: I hope so.

Ej: This is what I do, xander. My contracts are iron-clad. Nicole couldn’t back out of this even if she wanted to.

Xander: Well, she had better not try.

Ej: Don’t worry. She’s on board with this deal. As you can see, her signature is right there, and everything is in order.

Xander: [Sighs] Did you hear that? On the outside, I looked fine.

Steve: So… calista lockhart.

Calista: Steve johnson.

[Giggles]

Steve: You’re bonnie’s sister-in-law, right?

Calista: Sort of. She was married to my brother david.

Steve: Right. Are you and bonnie close?

Calista: Well, I am at her wedding. Just like you’re here for your brother-in-law justin, right?

Steve: Well, I guess it’s similar.

Calista: Well, how exactly are you two related?

Steve: Justin was married to my sister adrienne. She passed away.

Calista: Oh, I see. I lost my husband, too.

Steve: I heard about that. I’m sorry. You mind if I ask what happened?

Calista: He was murdered. And the killer was never caught.

Steve: Well, that must’ve been terrible for you. When did this happen?

Calista: Mr. Johnson–

Steve: Steve.

Calista: Steve… you ask an awful lot of questions. Makes me wonder why you’re so interested in me?

Xander: I didn’t hear anything. My ears are full of water from the shower.

Ej: I thought I heard a phone buzz. It wasn’t mine.

Xander: Doesn’t look like it was mine either.

Ej: Must’ve been one of the rooms next door. These walls have always been paper-thin. So… do we have a deal or not?

Xander: Oh, we have a deal.

Ej: Thank you. You don’t mind if I open that to make sure the million’s all there?

Xander: Be my guest.

[Breathes deeply]

Kayla: Anyway, uh, bonnie, I am here with justin, your dashing groom, and we’re just wondering where you are. So, when you get this message, if you could call me back, it’d be great. Thanks

Justin: Why isn’t she picking up?

Kayla: I don’t know. Maybe she’s at the hair salon, and she’s under the dryer, and she can’t hear anything. Okay, okay, okay–

Justin: Why wouldn’t she tell you that she was at the hair salon?

Kayla: I’ll text her, okay?

Justin: Thank you. That’s a good idea.

Kayla: Text bonnie lockhart. Bonnie, this is kayla. I’m here with your handsome groom-to-be, and we are wondering when you’re coming to the house. So, uh, get back to me when you get this message, okay? Send. There.

[Cell phone beeps] Oh.

Justin: Is that her?

Kayla: Yes, it is. And you know what? I was not that far off. She’s at the nail salon, and she’s a little hung up, but she said she will be here any minute. So, you see, nothing to worry about.

Xander: The cash is all there. I’d be awfully stupid to try and trick you now, wouldn’t I?

[Cell phone rings]

Ej: [Sighs] I have to take this outside. It’s a time-sensitive deal for dimera. Just know that if there’s a penny missing from this briefcase, I’ll be back for my pound of flesh.

Xander: Duly noted.

Ej: Pleasure doing business with you.

Xander: If you say so.

[Cell phone beeps]

Ej: Ej dimera.

Xander: [Sighs] We are back in business. Oh, bloody hell! Why didn’t he say something?

[Dramatic music]

Ciara: Um…

[Chuckles awkwardly] Why do you look so uncomfortable?

Ben: I’m not, baby. I’m just surprised.

[Chuckles]

Ciara: Yeah, but, I mean, we’ve talked about having a baby before. Is it really such a surprise that I brought it up?

Ben: I guess not. No, it’s just that, you know, we– I don’t know. You just caught me off guard. We got married about a week ago, and we’re still on our honeymoon.

Ciara: Oh, is that why we’re having such a good time?

Ben: Yes. And it’s the reason why I am a little bit surprised that you chose right now to bring up such a big step for us. You know, I thought that maybe we would wait until we at least got back to reality in salem.

Ciara: Yeah, well, I probably would have wanted to wait if it had actually been a week since we got married. But, ben… in every way that counts, you and I have been married since last july.

Ben: And I have certainly felt that way.

Ciara: We would have been together all of this time. We should have been together all this time. If it hadn’t been for eve and vincent and…

Ben: Rhodes and evan.

Ciara: Yeah.

Ben: Ciara, we lost a year because of them.

Ciara: Yeah. Thank god it was only a year. But now we’re back, ben. We’re back together, and we have our entire future ahead of us.

Ben: Yeah. Then what is the rush to have a kid right now?

Ciara: [Scoffs] I’m not in a rush. It’S… it’s just… when I’m with you, I can’t help but imagine a future with you… and all of the dreams that we share together.

Ben: The dream of us being parents together.

Ciara: Yeah. Remember? You, me… a little baby boy named bo.

Ben: Of course I remember

Ciara: Although I really don’t care what the gender is. I mean, it could be a boy, a girl, it doesn’t matter, as long as you are the father. Ben, I finally have you back. We’re finally together. And I just–I can’t wait to make all those dreams come true. But only if you are also on board. This is the sound of an asthma attack…

Ben: Ciara, when I had that dream about us having a baby together… I thought I lost you.

Ciara: Yeah, well, I’m right here. I’m right here right now. So there’s no reason it has to live in your head.

Ben: I know, but that was just one of many dreams that I had about you that past year… about all the things that I want us to share together, about all the things that I never thought I would ever have again.

Ciara: Are you saying you don’t want those things anymore?

Ben: No, of course not. But like you said, they lived in my head. This… this is reality.

Ciara: Isn’t that a good thing?

Ben: It’s a great thing. Baby, it’s a great thing. It’s just that…

[Sighs] A baby is a huge responsibility. Costs a lot of money.

Ciara: No, I know. I know, and it’s not like we don’t make any income.

Ben: Well, I’m not exactly getting rich at the garage, but…

Ciara: Okay, well, maybe I can work for grandpa victor again at titan.

Ben: But do you even really want to do that? The only reason why you even took that job in the first place was to prove that victor was framing me for jordan’s murder.

Ciara: Yeah. Well, thank god he didn’T. And besides, ben, I think I would be really good at that job.

Ben: Would he even want you back at the company?

Ciara: Mm, you know what?

Ben: Hmm?

Ciara: Being dead for a year kind of has its perks.

Ben: [Chuckles]

Ciara: Grandpa victor was so happy to have me back that he forgave me for everything I did at titan.

Ben: Mm, until he decides to use that against you one day.

Ciara: No, I’m pretty sure he’s gonna be fully on team ciara… especially once he finds out that I’d be carrying his great-grandchild.

[Dramatic music]

[Knock at door]

Xander: [Sighs] Gwen?

Gwen: Is that a question?

Xander: No, I’m just surprised to see you.

Gwen: So surprised, you’re not going to ask me to come in?

Xander: No, please. I thought we already said our goodbyes.

Gwen: Yes, we did.

Xander: And obviously we can’t be together because your father thinks I’m some scum-of-the-earth drug dealer.

Gwen: Yeah, right, that article–that was rather harsh. It’s, um–it’s actually why I’m here.

Xander: I’m not following.

Gwen: I couldn’t let my father think those terrible things about you. Not to mention publishing it for the whole bloody world to see–it’s not fair.

Xander: Don’t worry. I’m used to people thinking I’m a terrible person.

Gwen: But you’re not a terrible person, xander. You helped me. You kept me safe. So I told my father the truth– that this whole time, you’ve been covering for me.

Xander: You did? You told him the whole story?

Gwen: No, no, not the whole story. Just that snyder was blackmailing me into being his drug mule.

Xander: I don’t understand. If you didn’t tell jack about the miscarriage, then why does jack think that snyder was able to blackmail you?

Gwen: Well, yes, he did ask the question. He did, and I was about to answer, but then his phone rang. Julie phoned with some emergency.

Xander: What kind of emergency?

Gwen: [Scoffs] Apparently the old bat got herself locked in her own freezer.

[Snickers]

Julie: I can’t feel my toes… or my feet.

Jack: Here, here, drink this. It’ll warm you up.

Julie: Oh, thaw me out, you mean.

Jack: Okay, just– there you go.

Julie: [Slurping] Ahh. Ahh.

Julie: Thank you, jack, for the tea and for rescuing me from frozen doom.

Jack: I’m sorry I didn’t get here sooner.

Julie: You got here in the nick of time. Nick of time. A couple of more minutes, and all you would’ve found would be a julie-cicle.

Jack: Oh, my gosh. I just don’t–I don’t understand. How did you end up stuck in the freezer in the first place?

Julie: I didn’t end up. I was locked in.

Jack: What? Who would do that?

Julie: Doug did it! My own husband locked me in freezer. Lactaid is 100% real milk, just without the lactose.

Jack: Doug locked you in the freezer? Are you sure?

Julie: As sure as my new name is ice woman.

Jack: Well, I don’t– why on earth would he do something like that?

Julie: Oh, you’ll have to ask him.

[Chuckles] We were setting up for the dinner crowd. I said, “I’m just gonna go back to the freezer, pick up a couple of extra rib eye steaks.” Went there, put the doorstop under the door as I always do, and the next thing I know, the door slams shut.

Jack: The stopper just slipped out. It was an accident.

Julie: Yeah, that’s what I thought. So I banged on the door, and doug walked up to the door, and he looked through the little window, and then he walked away.

Jack: What?

Julie: I thought, “oh, it must really be stuck. He’s just gone for help.” He never came back.

Ciara: Oh, I get it, ben. Our life has been unstable…

Ben: Oh.

Ciara: To say the least. But we don’t have to be rich to have a baby. I’m pretty sure our jobs will be enough.

Ben: Okay, so say we’re both working. Who is gonna take care of the kid?

Ciara: Well, I can take time off when the baby’s born.

Ben: Okay, and how about after that?

Ciara: I will work remotely sometimes. And we can arrange our hours. And we can even hire a nanny.

Ben: Okay, so– all right, all right. All right, so we’re both gonna be working like crazy in order to earn enough to then hire somebody else to watch our baby while we’re working?

Ciara: Yeah, well, I didn’t say we wouldn’t have to make sacrifices. But, baby, people do it all the time. We can manage.

Ben: Is that where we set the bar for parenting– managing?

Ciara: [Scoffs] What are you doing, ben?

Ben: What do you mean?

Ciara: You are arguing every single point that I make. Am I missing something here, or… or do you just not want to have a baby with me?

Ben: [Sighs]

Kayla: Well, mystery solved. Bonnie will show up with freshly painted nails.

Justin: Yes. Yes, that’s a relief. I’m sorry I made this a thing. I guess I’m a little paranoid.

Kayla: Well, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. She was just beautifying her hands.

Justin: Yeah. Well, it’s not her hands that I’m worried about. More like cold feet.

Kayla: Are you serious?

Justin: A little.

Kayla: Oh, come on. Bonnie is crazy about you. Remember, she was gonna propose to you herself? Listen, last night she went on and on about how much she loves you, and I have the hangover to prove it.

Justin: Well, things can look entirely different in the cold light of day.

Kayla: It was not the booze talking. She is completely smitten with you. She can’t wait to be your wife.

Justin: So she wasn’t concerned at all?

Kayla: About you? No.

Justin: What does that mean?

Kayla: It means that bonnie was worried about one thing– calista lockhart.

Steve: So was I asking a lot of questions?

Calista: Yes, you were. Not that I mind. I mean, it’s been a while since I’ve been showered with so much attention from such a handsome man.

Steve: Well, when I meet someone new, I can’t help but be interested. I’m a–I’m a curious guy.

Calista: I understand. I’m curious, too.

Steve: Oh? About what?

Calista: Well, for starters, what’s going on underneath that patch? How’d you lose your eye?

Steve: My eye?

Calista: Was that too forward?

Steve: No, no, it’s okay. Not forward at all. I, um–I lost it in a knife fight, actually.

Calista: Wow, how dramatic… and sexy, too.

Steve: Oh?

Calista: You know… weddings put me in a certain mood.

Steve: [Chuckles]

Calista: [Chuckles] We can head on upstairs right now. Nobody would miss us.

Steve: For what?

Calista: [Chuckles] I mean, we the have time, and I’m definitely getting a little vibe here.

Steve: Oh, you’re getting a vibe?

Calista: Mm-hmm.

Steve: Between us?

Calista: Mm-hmm.

Steve: Well… [Chuckles] Well, you know, I’m married…

Calista: Oh.

Steve: To the matron of honor.

Calista: Happily?

Steve: Very.

Calista: I understand. I won’t tell if you won’T.

Steve: Oh, wait. Is struggling to manage your type 2 diabetes

Ben: Ciara weston… of course I want to have a baby with you.

Ciara: Well, it really doesn’t seem like it, ben weston.

Ben: I know. But that is only because I’ve spent this entire year thinking about how I would do anything to have one more minute with you. And now I have you back, and I’m trying to soak up every single second of it because I know how precious it is. I know that every moment with you is a gift, and that is why I love being with you so damn much, just the two of us.

Ciara: [Sighs] And you’re worried that a baby is going to ruin that?

Ben: I’m just worried about skipping steps, ciara.

Ciara: [Sighs] I get that. I get it. Um… we think we have all this time, but like you said, we don’t know how much time we’ll have.

Ben: And nobody understands that better than I do. But being with you like this on our honeymoon, riding on the back of your bike, letting the road take us wherever it may… this is the happiest I’ve ever been in my entire life. So maybe you can call me selfish, but… I’m not ready to give that up yet.

Ciara: Okay, but, you know, the honeymoon isn’t gonna last forever, right?

Ben: Mm-hmm, but it can last a little bit longer.

Ciara: Oh, my god, ben.

Ben: Because I’m not ready for it to stop. I lost you for too damn long, and now I want you all to myself.

Ciara: So you don’t want to have the baby conversation at all?

Ben: Would it be all right with you if maybe we just postponed talk now?

Justin: What are bonnie’s concerns about calista?

Kayla: I don’t actually know. She just was really upset last night. Something was bothering her, and when I asked her about it, she just said it had to do with her former sister-in-law.

Justin: Well, this morning bonnie was really jumpy when calista barged into our bedroom.

Kayla: She did what?

Justin: At the time, I thought it was just a really uncomfortable moment, but, uh… you know, actually, I’m still a little unclear about what their relationship actually is.

Kayla: Well, what did she want?

Justin: She said she was there to give bonnie an old handkerchief that belonged to her late husband.

Kayla: Harrison lord?

Justin: Yeah, right, that’s the guy.

Kayla: Oh.

Justin: Do you think I should talk to bonnie about this before the wedding?

Kayla: Well, it’s your call. I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. I mean, the only thing that matters is that she is completely and totally in love with you.

Justin: [Chuckles] The feeling’s mutual.

Kayla: It makes me so happy to hear you say that.

Justin: I have to say, I never saw her coming. Now I can’t imagine my life without her.

Kayla: Well, I know she puts a smile on your face.

Justin: Every day. And I know it took you and steve a while to come around to her. And I don’t blame you after what she did to adrienne. And you were just, you know, looking out for me.

Kayla: You know what? That was a long time ago. And I think that she has completely changed, and so does steve.

Justin: It means a lot to me that you guys approve.

Kayla: Well, bonnie will always be, shall we say, quirky.

Justin: [Laughs]

Kayla: But I don’t think that she is the same woman that tried to destroy adrienne’s life and break every law to get what she wanted. Really, I think that she’s really turned her life around, and maybe it was motivated by your love. But your kindness and your decency has definitely rubbed off on her, and I think that this woman you’re marrying is truly a good person. I believe that.

Steve: Oh, okay.

Bonnie: [Gasps]

Steve: All right, all right, that’s enough. Get up, get up.

Bonnie: What the hell is going on here?

Steve: Ask your sister-in-law.

Calista: Well, hey, bons. Steve and I here were just getting a little better acquainted.

Bonnie: Yeah, I can see that.

Steve: What are you doing here, bonnie? You’re supposed to be with kayla getting dressed for the wedding, aren’t you?

Bonnie: Yeah, well– yeah, but I got hung up at the manicurist. I cracked a nail. And can you believe it, on my wedding day?

[Chuckles] Anyhow, I never made it to your place. And so I just figured it’d just be faster and get dressed here, so…

Steve: Okay, well, you forgot your makeup bag this morning, and justin’s on his way over to take it to you over to kayla’S.

Bonnie: Uh…

Steve: I better call her.

Bonnie: No, um, actually– um… [Clears throat] Actually, I think calista could help me get dressed. That’d be fine, right, calista?

Calista: Oh, absolutely. What are sister-in-laws for? Or is it sisters-in-law? Come on, let’s head upstairs.

Bonnie: Let’S. Uh, steve, would you mind calling justin for me and just ask him to bring my makeup bag back with him when he comes back? You’re so funny. Go.

Steve: Sure, no problem.

Jack: Are you sure that doug saw you in the freezer?

Julie: I’m sure. We made eye contact.

Jack: It’s just… it’s just strange, that’s all. I mean, maybe he was just playing a prank.

Julie: [Scoffs] There’s nothing funny about this. The doug I know would never lock me in the freezer. And now I don’t know where he is. I don’t know what he’s done. Jack… I think something is terribly wrong.

Xander: So julie got locked in the freezer at her own restaurant? How?

Gwen: I don’t know. Probably some angry member of her own kitchen staff. I’m sure they all bloody hate her.

Xander: I mean, is she all right?

Gwen: Yes, I think she’ll be just fine. My dad went off to rescue her. He’s giving her warm broth and cognac now as we speak.

Xander: Okay, but after he thaws her out, what then?

Gwen: [Sighs] You mean am I going to tell him about my miscarriage happening before I fell down the stairs and that my fight with abigail had nothing to do with it?

Xander: It’s an awfully big risk.

Gwen: I know. I know, I know. We shouldn’t have to do it, but, honestly, I-I don’t think I have any other way out of it.

Xander: Jack is not gonna react well to that.

Gwen: [Sighs] God, he’s going to be so disappointed in me, xander. He’s worked so hard to bring me into his family… make up for lost time. I don’t think he’ll be able to look at me the same way ever again.

Xander: You don’t have to do it, gwen.

Gwen: But I do. I can’t let him keep printing these nasty stories about you that aren’t true. It’s gonna ruin your reputation forever.

Xander: [Sighs] Not to mention, I’ll lose the million dollars I spent on my defense.

[Pounding on door]

Ej: Xander! Open up, you thief! Did you know that your toughest cleaning problems

Justin: Well, I’m glad that you think that bonnie has turned over a new leaf.

Kayla: I definitely do. And I trust your judgment, justin.

Justin: It would definitely be a little challenging invoking spousal privilege or acting as bonnie’s attorney as well as her husband.

Kayla: I don’t think it’s ever a good idea to have your wife be your client. I mean, that would be awkward.

Justin: Yes, and we wouldn’t want anything connected to the wedding to feel awkward.

Kayla: You know, I know it’s strange, me being bonnie’s matron of honor and steve being your best man. But I don’t know. I just feel like this windy road has all led us to where we really should be, you know?

Justin: I think so.

Kayla: And I don’t know. Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but I feel like we have a little help from above.

Justin: [Chuckles] You think adrienne had something to do with all this?

Kayla: I’d like to think that. I’d like to think that, um, she’s somewhere just smiling down on all of us.

Justin: [Chuckles]

Xander: Is there a problem, mate?

Ej: What the hell are you trying to pull?

Xander: What are you talking about?

Ej: The briefcase!

Xander: What about it?

Ej: Are we really gonna play this game?

Xander: I don’t understand.

Gwen: What’s going on here?

Ej: Who the hell are you?

Gwen: I’m gwen. I–

Ej: I don’t care. Well, I’m waiting.

Xander: Are you really trying to say that the money wasn’t in the briefcase when I gave it to you?

Ej: Oh, don’t act surprised.

Xander: I know for a fact the money was in there this morning.

Ej: Well, it’s certainly not there now. Did you leave it unattended?

Xander: Of course not. It’s been with me the whole time.

Ej: What about your friend here? Did you leave her alone with it?

Gwen: Hey, you don’t even know me!

Xander: Leave her out of this–she just got here.

Ej: Well, if you’re not lying to me…

Xander: Which I’m not.

Ej: Then someone stole it. A million dollars doesn’t just walk away on its own!

Calista: Oh, oh!

[Sighs]

Bonnie: Look, here’s your money, all of it.

Calista: Well, it’s about time. Although I did manage to occupy myself with the best man.

Bonnie: Yeah, I noticed.

Calista: Now, why didn’t you…

[Gasps] Tell me how sexy steve is? Did you know he lost his eye in a knife fight?

Bonnie: Will you stop?

Calista: Well, why are you so stressed out?

Bonnie: I almost got caught stealing this money. I was two seconds away from being thrown in the pokey on my wedding day.

Calista: Okay, that does sound stressful.

Bonnie: Stressful? I was hiding under a bed picturing justin’s face and how disappointed he’d be in me.

Calista: Well, he does know what kind of gal he’s marrying, right?

Bonnie: I’ve gone straight, okay? I’m not a crook anymore.

Calista: Well, don’t take it out on me. If you’re gonna go run off with stolen buddybucks, you better be prepared to live with the consequences.

Bonnie: That was years ago! I told justin I was done with that life, and I meant it. I just pray to god he never finds out about this.

Calista: Well, he won’t hear it from me. I will just take this and be on my way.

Bonnie: Oh, I don’t think so.

Calista: Well, what’s your problem?

Bonnie: Oh, you’re not going anywhere till you give me that gun, girl.

Limu emu & doug

Ciara: [Sighs] If you aren’t ready to have the baby conversation, then… of course we can postpone it… because I want to spend as much time as I can with you, too.

Ben: Are you sure? You’re not upset?

Ciara: No. I was just– I was excited. I was excited for us. We finally have a future. We’re finally back together with nothing in the way to stop us.

Ben: Ciara, I promise you I am excited, too. And I want to have a baby with you. I really do. Just… not right now.

Ciara: I understand. I get it. And why skip steps when each one is so perfect? Like right now. We should be focusing on getting to new orleans, if you are ready to hit the road.

Ben: Mm.

Ciara: [Giggles]

Ben: On to our next adventure?

Ciara: On to our next adventure.

Ben: I love you.

Ciara: I love you.

[Romantic music]

[Line trilling]

Julie: Doug’s still not answering. Where in the world can he be?

Jack: Don’t worry. We’ll find him.

Julie: I’m getting scared, jack. I have no idea why he would leave me like this. What if something awful has happened to him?

Xander: I understand you’re upset.

Ej: I’m out a million dollars is what I am.

Xander: Look, can we just, uh, take a minute here and figure it out? There must be a reasonable explanation.

Ej: Let me know when you find out what that is. In the meantime, I’m getting the ball rolling on sending you to prison.

Xander: [Sighs]

Ej: And you can forget about that job.

Xander: Ej, wait. Come on.

[Sighs]

Gwen: [Scoffs] Okay, I know you said that the arrest cost you a million dollars, but did you–

Xander: Did I what?

Gwen: I don’t know. Did you–did you scam him?

Xander: Of course not. I wasn’t lying to ej. I told him the truth. As far as I know, the money was in that briefcase when I gave it to him, and it hasn’t been out of my sight.

Gwen: Is it possible he’s lying, then?

Xander: Did that look like he was lying?

Gwen: Well, I don’t know. Did you–did you let anyone else in here? A housekeeper, maid or anyone, someone?

Bonnie: Hi. Morning, sunshine.

Xander: What the hell are you doing here?

[Sighs]

Gwen: What? What? What–what is it?

Xander: Someone else was here.

[Cell phone rings]

Kayla: Oh, sorry. Oh.

Justin: Is it bonnie?

Kayla: No, no, it’s steve. Hi. Hey, um, listen, you know, justin’s here, and, uh, we’re still waiting on bonnie.

Steve: I know. She asked me to tell you she’s not coming.

Kayla: What? Why not?

Steve: Well, she decided to come back here and get ready at the house. She just went upstairs with calista lockhart.

Kayla: So you met calista?

Steve: Oh, yeah, I met her. I got to tell you, baby, I didn’t get a great vibe.

Bonnie: Give me the gun, girl.

Calista: [Inhales sharply] Fine.

Bonnie: [Scoffs] Okay, you did the first part. Now hand it over.

Calista: Oh, I’m sorry, bon-bon, but you’re not getting the gun. You… are getting the bullet.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Finn: Yeah, she’s unconscious, but she’s breathing. Her pulse is normal. Okay, please hurry. Thank you, thank you very much. Okay, I’m gonna unlock the front door. Hang in there, mom, okay? Help is on the way.

Steffy: Sheila’s not gonna be a problem for finn and me.

Ridge: No, she won’T. She won’t be around you, or your kids, or finn, ever again. We’re working on it.

Brooke: Carter filed the restraining order?

Ridge: Yes, it’s with the judge now.

Brooke: And security’s been staffed at your house?

Steffy: Yes.

Ridge: Okay. We can have all the security, all the restraining orders in the world, but we all need to be on the same page, all of us. Do you understand?

Steffy: I understand that, and we are. Finn doesn’t want sheila around. He understands how dangerous she is.

Shauna: It’s very beautiful, the way you are standing by eric.

Quinn: Of course. He’s my husband.

Shauna: But, you need to be honest with yourself. You’ve had a very sexual, passionate relationship with carter, and the way you said he made you feel–

Quinn: Well, eric and i have faced challenges before, and we’ve gotten through them. We’ll get through them again.

Shauna: Oh come on, quinn. This is different. I know you want to be strong, but your husband may never be able to make love to you again. Can you really live without that, and make such a huge sacrifice?

Quinn: Yes. My love and commitment to my husband comes first. If I have to give up that part of myself, I will. I’ll do it for eric.

Quinn: There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for eric. I love him.

Eric: And I love you too, quinn.

Quinn: Eric? I, I, I didn’t know you were home.

Eric: My meeting ended quickly.

Shauna: Quinn and I, we were just talking about how happy she is to be back home with you again.

Quinn: It’s true. Eric, I mean, no matter what we’ve been through and what we may go through, you should never doubt my love for you.

Eric: I don’T. Your love and support mean the world to me.

Brooke: I still can’t believe that sheila came to your house to see finn. I mean, I can, but… and jack was the one who told her where you lived?

Steffy: Mm-hm.

Brooke: And you walked in…

Steffy: I walked in on her holding hayes.

Brooke: Oh my god. Steffy, I am sorry.

Ridge: Yeah, maybe jack thought giving sheila what she wanted would make her go away. It’s foolish.

Brooke: I can’t believe that finn would even go along with this.

Steffy: Finn was wrong, and he knows that. But I am convinced he won’t be seeing sheila ever again.

[ Ambulance siren ]

[ Knocking ]

Finn: Right, this way. Okay, thank god you’re here. I’m dr. Finnegan. Uh, we were just talking, and she collapsed. Just completely unconscious.

[ Radio chatter ] Strong pulse, and no sign of head trauma.

Paramedic: Okay, thank you, doctor. I’ll take it from here. What’s your relationship with the patient?

Finn: She’s my mother. Okay, we gotta hurry. We need to get her to the hospital.

Paramedic: Of course.

Frank is a fan of fast.

He’s a fast talker.

Shauna: I can’t tell you how happy it makes me, to see you both back together again.

Eric: I’m a very happy man.

Shauna: Well, it makes this girl hopeful that real love does exist, and it’s not fragile. Challenges and obstacles may come, real pain may come, but you can push through it and get to the other side. I know you both have had a lot thrown at you, but to find your way back together, it proves that you guys can do anything.

Eric: I truly hope so.

Quinn: There’s nothing we can’t overcome.

Shauna: Well, let me get out of here. Eric, it was so great seeing you.

Eric: My pleasure, as always, shauna. It’s good to see you.

Shauna: Thank you. You too.

Eric: It’s good that she came to see you. She’s a good friend for you.

Quinn: Yeah. Hey. I don’t ever want there to be secrets between us anymore. I, I shared with shauna what’s going on with you. She’s my oldest friend, and I really needed somebody to talk to, and she loves you. I mean, she has been a champion for us, from the very beginning, and just please, don’t be mad at me.

Ridge: I imagine that seeing sheila and hayes together, that that was awful for you, but look at the bright side. Even with all this, you and finn worked it out.

Steffy: Yeah, I’m happy about it. Relieved, actually.

Brooke: You were concerned, for the two of you?

Steffy: Oh, absolutely. But, when I saw sheila, holding my son in that moment, all I cared about was protecting him.

Ridge: Even from finn?

Steffy: Yeah.

Ridge: Well, that makes sense to me. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. You do whatever you can to protect your family, right?

Steffy: Mm-hm.

Brooke: Your father’s right.

Steffy: Yeah.

Ridge: Her father’s always right.

Steffy: Finn knows how dangerous sheila is, and the lengths she’ll go to get what she wants. I just hate that he’s in this position.

Ridge: I hate that too.

Brooke: Yeah.

Steffy: He’s always wondered about his birth mother, and then he finally meets her and sees that she’s a sociopath.

Brooke: I can’t imagine what he’s going through, but the important thing is that he knows he can’t be in her life.

Ridge: ‘Cause he does know that, right? That’s what I was struggling with, a little bit. He had all the information. We told him about sheila, everything, what he did to you, to your mom, to you, and I think he listened. He probably listened, but he didn’t live it. Didn’t live the darkness, he didn’t live that danger. He, uh, just heard about it. So, I gotta think that, even with all that, he’s gonna have a relationship with his mother.

Dr. Griffith: Dr. Finnegan!

Finn: Dr. Griffith.

Dr. Griffith: What happened?

Finn: We were talking, she just collapsed. Pulse is normal.

Paramedic: 90 bpm.

Dr. Griffith: Her heartbeat?

Paramedic: Steady, no obstructions.

Dr. Griffith: Any drugs or alcohol?

Finn: No. Uh, not to my knowledge. It could be neurological or metabolic.

Dr. Griffith: Any signs of head trauma?

Paramedic: No.

Dr. Griffith: Any verbal, tactile, or noxious stimulus?

Finn: There’s been none.

Dr. Griffith: Get her in room two, right away. We’ll take care of her.

Finn: Thank you. Mom, I’m right here, okay? I’m gonna be right by your side.

[ Upbeat music ]

Quinn: Eric. I’m sorry for opening up to shauna, about all of this. She’s my oldest friend.

Eric: You needed someone to talk to, I understand. You told me.

Quinn: I just don’t want you to be mad at me.

Eric: Mad at you?

Quinn: Yeah.

Eric: No. No, how could I be mad at you? If anybody should be apologizing, it’s me.

Quinn: Oh, eric, no–

Eric: No, no, I should have, I should have been truthful to you about all of this months ago.

Quinn: You don’t have anything to apologize for.

Eric: But, I do. I do, I was, I was embarrassed, I was ashamed and I, I, I pushed you away.

Quinn: I’m the one who broke our vows.

Eric: Because I let you believe that I was rejecting you, I let you believe that I was no longer interested in being intimate with you. I’m sorry.

Quinn: Hey, hey, look at me. I love you. We have gotten through every obstacle we’ve faced before. We’re gonna do it again.

Ridge: Steffy, look, I don’t, I don’t wanna upset you. I don’T. I also don’t want you to doubt your husband. I get it, I get it. You don’t want me to be unrealistic.

Ridge: No, I don’t know what I want, no, I, I do know what I want. I want you to be happy, because you have husband who’s great. He’s just got a few things he’s gotta work out. He’s got an amazing family.

Brooke: I think what your father is trying to say is that finn discovering his birth mother, that’s huge. There has to be some kind of emotional connection on some level.

Ridge: Not on some level, on every level. I mean, he, he may not even be aware of all of it, at this point.

Steffy: But dad, finn and I already had that conversation, it’s fine.

Ridge: Yeah. And you had that same conversation before all that. No, I’m sorry, and–

[ Steffy sighing ] You know I love you? And I, I… finn told you, that you and the kids come first, right? You remember that?

Steffy: Mm-hm.

Ridge: Still, that woman showed up at your house. How?

Steffy: Finn was vulnerable to her once. And now, that he’s seen her desperation, the way that she manipulates, finn will not fall for that, ever again.

Finn: This can’t continue, sheila.

Sheila: Please call me “mom”.

Finn: I can’T. I’m not trying to hurt you, but you need to go. You need to honor your word, and you need to stay away from us. My son and i will have no part of your life. Not ever.

Dr. Griffith: Exactly what happened, dr. Finnegan?

Finn: We’re talking, things got pretty heated, and she started to get upset. And she, she collapsed, she passed out. At first, I was worried she was having a heart attack.

Dr. Griffith: Uh-huh. Ekg shows no sign of cardiac arrest.

[ Machine beeping ] How do you know this woman, dr. Finnegan?

Finn: She’s my mother.

Dr. Griffith: Your mother? But, I thought–

Finn: Oh, sorry, she’s, uh, she’s my birth mother. I just met her. It’s, it’s complicated. Really complicated, actually. But, I… I finally found her. And I can’t lose her. Not like this. If you think all pads are exactly the same,…

[ Relaxing acoustic music ]

Eric: Quinn, it’s just I’ve been so unfair to you. I, I should have told you the truth about all of this before asking you to come back, before tearing up the divorce papers.

Quinn: Carter, I love you.

Carter: I love you too.

Quinn: Do you really think my answer would have changed? I’m committed and devoted to you.

Eric: But, what if I can’t? I can’t? I’ve been to doctors and psychiatrists and nothing seems to be working. I was hoping that this opening up to you, would be the breakthrough that I’ve been hoping for, but it’s just not happening. I’M… I’m letting you down.

Quinn: No, you’re not. You’re not letting me down. Come on, it’s exactly what shauna said, this is who we are. We come up against obstacles and we face them. Together.

Eric: But I can’t, I can’T. And how can I ask, how can I ask you to bury that part of you? You’re, you’re a beautiful, vibrant, sensual woman. You’re a passionate woman.

Quinn: I get it, but you have to still believe that you could fulfill me. You’ve done it before, you will do it again.

Eric: I can’t make love to you.

Quinn: Stop, okay? Stop, stop it. Stop.

Ridge: Steffy, I’m sorry. You know, the last thing I want is to upset you.

Steffy: You didn’t upset me. I understand why you’re concerned. I’m concerned too, but not about finn. I’m not gonna let sheila drive a wedge between us.

[ Phone ringing ] Hey, baby.

Finn: Hey, um, uh, I’m at the hospital.

Steffy: Oh, oh did you have to go in? Did donna bring the kids home? Do I have to go home, and relieve amelia? Is everything okay?

Finn: Uh, no, I didn’t get called in.

Steffy: Oh. What’s going on? Is something wrong?

Finn: Uh, something happened. There was an emergency.

Steffy: With one of your patients?

Finn: Um, my mother.

Steffy: Your mother, with li? What happened, what’s wrong?

Finn: Oh no, not her. She’s fine, she’s fine. Um… it’s sheila.

Steffy: Sheila. What happened?

Finn: Uh, we’re not sure. She, uh, we’re monitoring her, but she collapsed and she’s been unconscious ever since.

Steffy: How did you find this out?

Finn: Uh, I was with her when she collapsed.

Steffy: You were with her?

Finn: At the house.

Steffy: Our house?

Finn: Sheila showed up. I, I was surprised, but I told her that she could no longer come there, and I made it very clear that I never wanted to see her again. She got really upset and collapsed. I know how you feel about her, and if I’m being honest, I’m just really worried.

Steffy: Finn.

Finn: I know you don’t want to hear this, but she’s my mother, and I don’t want to lose her.

Sheila: He doesn’t want to lose me. You never will, my baby boy, no one will keep us apart. Not even you, steffy.

Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem Update

"Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem"

Update written by Joseph

At the National Museum in the Kingdom of Alamania in 1991, someone breaks in and steals the Alamanian Peacock.

30 years later in Zurich, Switzerland, Shane Donovan explains to John and Marlena that the Alamanian Peacock was stolen and says the culprit was Princess Gina, or Hope who was brainwashed in to believing she was Princess Gina. Shane adds that the Peacock featured precious gemstones. Shane reveals that it was just recently recovered and sent back to the Alamain family but the gemstones were missing, though now they have started popping up in different parts of the globe and Lord Sebastian Alamain is putting pressure on the ISA to retrieve them. Marlena calls that a big job. Shane agrees they will need their most skilled agents which is where John comes in.

Ben and Ciara begin their honeymoon in New Orleans. Ciara talks about how they have so much to do and see as she kisses Ben. Ben asks if they should keep walking the French quarter or head back to the hotel room. Ciara remembers Hope mentioning how fun the antique store is so they go over to it, but it’s closed. Ciara sees a voodoo doll in the window and calls it creepy. Ciara is fascinated by a pin with a gem in it in the window and talks about how much she loves it.

Paulina brings Lani, Eli, and Abe to her home in Miami. Abe calls it beautiful while Eli appreciates being in paradise instead of undercover in a seedy hotel. Eli talks about hopping off a jet to a limo to a mansion. Lani acknowledges that Paulina likes to live large. Paulina tells Lani to enjoy it, reminding her that it’s her last fun before maternity leave ends at work. Paulina calls Lani her favorite niece. Abe looks out the window and admires the view. Abe questions Paulina voluntarily leaving all of this to move to Salem. Paulina admits it was a sacrifice at the time, but she’s so glad she did or else she never would’ve met Abe. Paulina says they are going to shake up the town.

Chad arrives in Phoenix and visits Will. They hug and Chad says he missed him so much. Will mentions they were so happy to get his call. Will calls out to Sonny that Chad is there. Sonny (now played by Zach Tinker) rushes in to excitedly hug Chad. They ask how Chad is doing. Chad says he’ll be better when Abigail gets home from Boston. Chad asks about Arianna since he brought her a present. Will says that Arianna is on a play date with a friend. Chad says his kids are doing the same with Jack, so he flew out to hang with his best friends. Chad says he’s really missed them and apologizes for not keeping in better touch. Chad notes that it’s early so they can start catching up right now. Will wishes he could stay and hang out but he has a meeting he can’t miss. Will asks Sonny if he doesn’t mind playing tour guide for the day. Chad says if they are busy, he can chill. Sonny remarks that he’s never too busy for the people he loves…

Anna and Tony arrive in Zurich and go to Carrie and Austin’s apartment. Anna advises Tony not to say anything about marriage troubles. Carrie answers the door, surprised to see Anna and Tony. She asks what they are doing here. Anna tells Carrie not to worry but she’s here to save her marriage. Carrie asks Anna to keep her voice down, because she doesn’t want Austin knowing that she went running to her mother about their marital problems. Austin then walks in and says it’s a little late for that.

Shane informs John and Marlena that the sapphire is here in Zurich as part of a necklace going out for auction tonight. Shane says they need someone to go undercover and suggests John and Marlena. Shane adds that all expenses will be covered by the ISA. John asks what happens after they win the necklace in the auction. Shane says he will get it back to the Alamains as quick as possible. John asks how high he can bid. Shane says as high as he likes but to try not to break the bank as their budget is not what it used to be. John calls it simple enough but Shane reveals there’s a little more to it.

Ben tells Ciara that he’s buying her the pin. Ciara says he’s so sweet but it probably costs a fortune. Ben says she’s worth a fortune and calls it a wedding present. Ciara agrees only if it’s not crazy expensive. Ben sees the shop owner about to go inside so he asks her about the pin in the window. She informs him that she’s already holding it for a long time client, who made an appointment for a private viewing. Ben asks if they can at least make it an offer. She says that would be pointless because her client is royalty, Princess Gina Von Amberg, which shocks Ciara.

Eli jokes that they do not get beautiful views like this in Salem. Lani mentions there only being like 30 houses on this island that they call Star Island. Eli wonders about the celebrities that live here. Abe suggests they could get to meet some of them and brings up Rosie O’Donnell. Paulina says that she moved and talks about how she used to jet ski. Paulina mentions being friends with Gloria Estefan. Paulina says it’s too bad Tamara isn’t here with them as she’s sure she would be thrilled to see them. Lani mentions that they did leave the twins in Salem with Julie. Paulina loves seeing Eli and Lani get some alone time together, so she tells them to make themselves at home while she gives Abe a tour. Eli then asks Lani how she’s holding up. Lani admits she’s missing the twins but she knows Julie and Doug will be happy to take care of them. Eli assures they will be fine and that Julie will text them updates and photos. Lani adds that pretty soon, she will be working double shifts so she needs to get used to it like he is. Eli thinks he has an idea how they can forget missing the twins so much as he kisses her.

Will repeats that he’s sorry that he can’t stay but he’s working on a huge story. Chad says it’s fine as he didn’t give much notice that he’s coming. Sonny remarks that he’s taking his company public but Will is the one who can’t take the day off. Sonny argues that as a reporter, Will sets his own hours and could easily work from home but Will points out that he’s at the mercy of his sources. Sonny argues that he could do it here by video but Will says it’s sensitive information so he has to be in the room. Sonny complains about Will not being able to tell him what the big scoop is. Will assures him that he will know soon.

Austin questions Carrie flying her parents across the ocean because they had a fight. Anna clarifies that Carrie had no idea they were coming. Austin guesses that she must have told them they are having problems. Anna says they are family and they confide in each other, so they just want to be there for them. Tony acknowledges that he and Anna have had ups and downs as well so they are not judging, but hope they will benefit from their experience. Anna asks what exactly is the problem, money troubles or another person or both. Tony asks what they can do to help.

Shane gives John a special gun that won’t set off any metal detectors. Marlena asks why he would need a gun if he’s just bidding on a necklace. Shane points out that they are not the only ones bidding on the sapphire and that two of the gems have already fallen in to the wrong hands.

The shop owner questions Ciara and Ben knowing Princess Gina. Ciara says they know of her. She says she’s sorry that she couldn’t help and tells them to have a nice day as she heads inside. Ben thought Princess Gina was done when Dr. Rolf took the microchip out of Hope’s brain. Ciara says that’s what she thought too and wonders if this is why Hope has been laying low all these months. Ciara worries about Hope being brainwashed again but Ben reminds her that Stefano is dead and Dr. Rolf is in prison. Ciara doesn’t know what is going on but decides she will call her mom to get some answers.

After Will leaves, Sonny tells Chad he’s sorry about that. Chad gets that Will is busy. Sonny remarks that’s that is what he says. Chad asks what that means but Sonny says it’s nothing. Chad knows he hasn’t kept in touch like he should but he’s still his best friend so he can tell something is going on. Chad asks Sonny to talk to him. Sonny responds that he thinks Will is having an affair.

Carrie tells Anna that there is not another woman or another man, at least not at the moment. Carrie says they’ve had a very long trip so she wants to fix them something to eat and heads to the kitchen. Anna asks Austin what that was about. Austin says she’s upset after they had a fight and it’s his fault because he acted like a jackass. Anna remarks that she can picture that but apologizes and tells him to go on. Austin admits he had a few drinks and then threw her affair with Rafe in her face. Anna thought he made peace with that. Austin says he did too but after a few drinks, here they are. Austin knows it was a one time thing while they were separated and he keeps thinking that he’s over it but then he has a weak moment and blurts out something that he regrets. Austin wants Carrie to know how much she means to him, so he’s been thinking he needs to do something big to prove that. Tony suggests asking Marlena for advice. Austin reveals that he had a sapphire necklace in mind. Austin says that it’s going up for auction tonight and he wants to buy it for Carrie.

John doesn’t want Marlena going to the auction if there will be any kind of danger. Marlena asks who is bidding on the sapphire. John reveals that they recently had an incident involving one of the other gemstones, as the ISA located the ruby in South Africa but the retrieval operation went bad and their agent was killed. John feels there is more to the story than he’s telling. Shane says there always is but he’s not at liberty to discuss the details, even with John. Shane warns that the stakes could be high like life or death, but they aren’t anticipating any trouble tonight. Shane notes that John should just be prepared just in case. John feels there’s nothing to worry about and that this should be a piece of cake.

Eli and Lani kiss on the couch until Paulina and Abe walk back in. Paulina tells them to do their thing and not mind them. Lani jokes that they will finish later. Lani suggests she and Paulina go show Abe and Eli the sights. Paulina says they will, but first she wants to do lunch. Abe says he doesn’t need anything fancy but Paulina says as long as he’s with her, fancy is what he’s going to get. Paulina opens a safe and pulls out a ring, noting that she’s been saving it for a special occasion like this. Lani asks about it. Paulina calls it a one of a kind orange diamond.

Ciara complains that Hope is not answering her phone. Ben assures that she’s fine. Ciara worries about hearing the name Princess Gina and asks if she contact Shane or John. Ben and Ciara then spot a woman in a tiara approaching the shop window and assume it’s Princess Gina. Ciara goes to confront her but is shocked to find out that it is Billie Reed.

Austin shows Anna and Tony a picture of the sapphire necklace. Anna and Tony talk about how expensive that will be. Tony can’t remember Carrie ever liking expensive things. Austin agrees but feels it’s important for him for her to know how much he appreciates her and doesn’t take her for granted. Austin says he wants to get it as a gift for their anniversary next month, so she knows that he knows how lucky he is to be married to her. Anna calls that so sweet and guesses they don’t really need their help. Austin mentions that the auction is being covered by the press and he wants it to be a surprise. Anna tells him that she and Tony would be happy to go to the auction for him.

Shane tells John not to hesitate to reach out if there’s anything he need and wishes him luck. They shake hands as John says he’ll be in touch. Shane then exits the room. John thought Marlena wanted to see Carrie and Austin while they are in town. Marlena says she does. John suggests calling them up to see if they are free for dinner. Marlena says she’s not free for dinner. John points out that she could be. Marlena knows John wants to see Carrie and Austin too so she suggests they try tomorrow. John realizes he’s not going to win this argument as they kiss.

Abe asks Paulina where she got her orange diamond ring. Paulina explains that it was a gift from her friend Michelle and talks about how they were at a dinner at the white house, where she just gave it to her. Abe calls that really generous. Paulina says she was reluctant at first but Michelle could afford to be generous and is married to one of the most powerful people on the planet. Abe is impressed by them being friends. Paulina says they go way back. Abe questions her wearing the ring out to lunch. Lani suggests putting it back in the safe but Paulina says she was saving it for a special occasion like this. Paulina feels they have to have glitz and glamour.

Ciara asks what Billie is doing here and informs Ben that Billie is Kate’s daughter. Ciara explains to Ben how Billie was married to Bo while Hope was brainwashed by Stefano. Ciara questions Billie’s getup. Billie says she thinks wearing a tiara is a thing. Ciara tells her to cut the crap and asks why she is dressed up as Princess Gina. Billie says she can’t talk about it. Ciara asks if she’s undercover on a case. Billie informs her that she’s trying to locate some missing gemstones and the one in the window is one of them. Billie explains that the store is a front for a criminal enterprise so she figured she could use Princess Gina to get an in with the owner. Ciara explains how the owner said she was holding the gem for her longterm client, Princess Gina. Billie questions Ciara not introducing her to Ben. Ciara apologizes and introduces her to her husband, Ben Weston. Billie congratulates them. Ciara says they are actually here on their honeymoon. Billie then stops and questions him being that Ben Weston, the necktie killer who strangled Will. Ciara explains that it’s okay now as Ben and Will are best friends now and Will was Ben’s best man. Billie finds it really strange but says if Will is okay with it. Ciara adds that Will is living happily ever after in Phoenix with Sonny.

Chad tells Sonny that there is no way Will is having an affair. Sonny remarks that it wouldn’t be the first time. Chad says that was years ago and points out all they have gone through since then. Sonny goes over all they have been through and jokes that it would make an interesting movie. Chad says this is real life and they survived and stayed together. Chad knows they are together in this brand new life. Sonny says he can’t ignore the signs as Will is always busy working. Chad argues that he just has a lot going on. Sonny argues that he doesn’t have secrets. Sonny understands Will can’t tell him everything but now he’s not telling him anything and he caught him deleting his call logs. Sonny insists something is going on. Chad thinks it could be something good like a surprise. Sonny doesn’t buy that Will had a meeting to go to and bets he’s not even at the office right now. Chad informs Sonny that Abigail is still in Boston because a few months ago, he got in his head that she was having an affair with Jake but he was way off base. Chad says he was so convinced that he made a big mistake and let his paranoia over nothing get the best of him, so now he has no idea when or if his wife is coming home. Chad begs Sonny to not make the same mistake that he did. Sonny insists that something is off. Chad decides they should check it out then and find out if Will is at the office. Sonny feels it’s wrong to check up on him but Chad says he’ll do it. Sonny texts Chad the number to the news desk so Chad then calls and asks to speak to Will Horton, claiming he has a big tip for him. Chad is informed that Will is out of the office today and not expected to be in. Sonny realizes he was right that Will lied right to his face.

Billie tells Ben and Ciara that she’d love to stay and chat but she doesn’t want to blow her cover and she wants to get her wig off. Ben says now that she knows Hope is not Princess Gina again, they can get back to their honeymoon. Ciara wishes Billie luck in the case and says it was good seeing her. Billie says the same as she tells Ben to take care of his wife and then she walks away.

Sonny insists to Chad that Will is definitely cheating on him. Chad suggests Will could be doing an interview. Sonny complains that he’s not in the office where he said he would be and won’t be in all day. Chad argues that it doesn’t mean he’s having an affair. Sonny says he’s been giving Will the benefit of the doubt for weeks. Chad still thinks there’s a reasonable explanation. Sonny complains about how Will has been acting lately and says he can’t believe him anymore. Chad offers to talk to Will. Sonny says it won’t get him anywhere. Sonny adds that every time he asks Will a question, he gets a vague answer or no answer, which is why he stopped trying. Sonny decides looking up Will’s credit card history might give him a clue because he needs to know. Sonny pulls it up on his laptop and shows Chad that Will booked a room at an upscale spa, which he calls very romantic. Sonny decides he’s heading there right now. Chad doesn’t think that’s a good idea. Sonny says he can’t just do nothing. Chad suggests waiting until Will gets home to talk to him but Sonny refuses so Chad decides he’s going with him, so that he doesn’t do anything stupid.

Anna and Tony go to leave, when Carrie comes back with food and questions them leaving already. Anna says they are going to check in to their hotel. Carrie tells them that they can stay here since Noah is away at school. Anna says they don’t want to impose and Tony wants to stay at their favorite hotel, so they will be back in the morning to catch up on everything. Anna and Tony then exit which disappoints Carrie.

Marlena and John sit together, looking at a picture of the sapphire necklace. Marlena calls it beautiful. John jokes that he would buy it for her in a heartbeat if he could. Marlena appreciates that but says everything she needs is right here. John says if they wrap up the auction early, they can go to the wellness spa that he discovered when released from the clinic. John says Marlena is the reason he got better and reminds her that they got remarried right before leaving Salem, so he had his wife which is what healed him. John says the clinic was good but the atmosphere was sterile. Marlena recalls the couples massage at the spa. John suggests they pay it a repeat visit. Marlena agrees once they get tonight out of the way first.

Ben tells Ciara they will find her a gift that wasn’t stolen. Billie returns and stops them, asking if they saw anyone come out of the antique shop. Ben confirms he just saw a couple come out with a shopping bag. Billie reveals they bought the gem right out from under her.

Carrie apologizes to Austin for saying anything to Anna as she was just really rattled. Austin says he was just thrown at first seeing them here but it’s his fault for being a jackass. Austin says he’s actually really glad they did. Carrie thought Anna drives him nuts. Austin says she does, but her heart is in the right place. Carrie acknowledges that Anna cares about them both very much. Carrie asks if he thought it was strange the way they rushed out of here as it seemed so abrupt. Carrie felt like Anna was up to something. Austin jokes that it’s just Anna being Anna so she has nothing to worry about.

Anna and Tony arrive at the auction. Tony has a glass of champagne while Anna says she wants to focus on the mission because that necklace is going to save her daughter’s marriage, so nothing and no one will stop them from getting it. John and Marlena then arrive and greet them, surprising Anna.

Chad and Sonny go to a penthouse suite. Chad suggests the paper could be paying for it and notes that the front desk didn’t mention Will being with anyone. Sonny feels it’s a big room for one person. Chad believes that Will is probably alone. Sonny declares they are about to find out as he knocks on the door. Chad suggests leaving when Will doesn’t answer but they are shocked when Sonny’s ex Leo Stark answers the door.

Billie questions Ciara and Ben about the couple that bought the gem. Ben tries to describe them but Billie drags him away to come help find them.

Update written by Joseph

Ciara asks Ben what if they had a baby. Ben questions what she just said and asks if she’s serious about them having one.

Steve goes to the Kiriakis Mansion and meets Calista Lockhart. Calista flirts with him and says the pleasure is all her’s.

Justin goes to Kayla’s to bring Bonnie her makeup bag but Kayla informs him that Bonnie is not there yet. Justin questions that since Bonnie was coming by so Kayla could help her get ready for the wedding. Kayla guesses she’s just running a little late. Justin finds that strange since she left the house a while ago and should’ve been here by now.

EJ knocks on Xander’s door so Xander gets out of the shower and answers, complaining about him knocking so loudly, while Bonnie hides underneath the bed.

Jack questions Gwen about what Dr. Snyder was blackmailing her with to get her to agree to run drugs for him. Gwen says he has to understand that she never wanted to hurt him. Jack asks how she would hurt him. They are interrupted by Jack getting a call from Julie. Jack tries to say he’s in the middle of something but Julie tells him something that causes him to say he will be there as soon as he can. Jack hangs up so Gwen asks what’s wrong. Jack informs Gwen that they will finish this conversation later because Julie got locked in the freezer at Julie’s Place. Gwen says they will talk whenever then as Jack rushes out of the house. Gwen then exits as well.

EJ apologizes to Xander if he made his presence known a little too forcefully since he wasn’t answering, but he thought he’d like to see his employment contract, signed by Nicole. EJ says he would like his money first. Xander realizes that’s why he’s so enthusiastic. Xander says he will get his money once he’s sure that EJ did what he said he would do. EJ assures him that the contract is on the up and up. Xander says he’ll be the judge of that as he takes the contract to look it over. Xander tells EJ to sit tight as it might take awhile. Bonnie remains hiding under the bed.

Kayla feels Justin is acting like a nervous groom. Justin points out that it takes awhile for a bride to get ready for a wedding. Kayla says it depends on the bride. Justin says Bonnie is not one to rush through it and questions why she’s not here to start the process. Kayla encourages him not to worry. Justin says they both know that Bonnie can be unpredictable. Kayla decides she will track her down, so Justin thanks her.

EJ tells Xander to take as long as he needs but all the terms and conditions are clearly laid out. EJ assures that his contracts are iron clad so Nicole couldn’t back out of it. EJ adds that Nicole is on board with this deal and points out her signature and that everything is in order. Kayla calls Bonnie, causing Bonnie’s phone to ring from under the bed. EJ asks Xander if he heard that.

Calista explains to Steve that Bonnie was married to her brother David. Steve asks if they are close. Calista points out that she’s at her wedding and asks how Steve and Justin are related. Steve explains that Justin was married to his sister Adrienne until she passed away. Calista mentions losing her husband too. Steve asks what happened. Calista responds that he was murdered and the killer was never caught. Steve asks when that happened. Calista notes that he asks a lot of questions and it makes her wonder why he’s so interested in her.

Xander says he didn’t hear anything. EJ thought he heard a phone buzz but guesses it was a room next door. EJ asks if they have a deal or not. Xander says they do and signs the contract. EJ wants to open the briefcase to make sure the money is all there.

Kayla leaves Bonnie a message, saying that she and Justin are wondering where she is. Justin questions why she’s not picking up. Kayla suggests she could be at the hair salon. Justin argues that she would tell her that. Kayla decides to text Bonnie and says that she and Justin are wondering when she’s coming to the house. Kayla gets a text back from Bonnie, claiming that she’s hung up at the nail salon but will be there any minute. Kayla tells Justin that there is nothing to worry about.

Xander assures EJ that the cash is all there and it would be stupid to try and trick him now. EJ gets a business call and says he has to answer it outside. EJ warns Xander that if a penny is missing from the briefcase, he will back for his pound of flesh. EJ says it was a pleasure doing business as he takes the briefcase, answers his call, and exits the room. Xander declares tha the is back in business, then goes back to the bathroom to finish shaving. Bonnie then sneaks out from under the bed and runs out of the room with the stolen money in her purse.

Ciara questions why Ben looks so uncomfortable. Ben says he’s just surprised. Ciara says they have talked about having a baby before and asks if it’s really such a surprise that she brought it up. Ben says it just caught him off guard because they got married a week ago and are still on their honeymoon, so he’s surprised that she chose now to bring up such a big step for them. Ben thought they’d wait until they got back to reality in Salem. Ciara says she probably would have wanted to wait if it had actually been a week since they got married, but in every way that counts they have been married since last July and should’ve been together all this time if not for Eve, Vincent, Rhodes, and Evan. Ben acknowledges that they lost a year because of them. Ciara is thankful it was only a year, but now they are back together and have their entire future ahead of them. Ben questions what the rush is to have a kid now then. Ciara clarifies that she’s not in a rush but when she’s with him, she can’t help but to imagine a future with him and the dreams they share. Ciara reminds him of their dream of having a baby boy named Bo, but notes that she doesn’t care what the gender is as long as Ben is the father. Ciara declares that she finally has him back and they are finally together, so she can’t wait to make all those dreams come true, but only if he is also on board. Ben tells Ciara that when he had that dream of them having a baby together, he thought he lost her. Ciara says she’s here now so that doesn’t have to live in his head. Ben says it was just one of many dreams about all the things he wants them to share together and thought he would never have. Ciara asks if he doesn’t want those things anymore. Ben says of course not, but they were in his head and this is reality. Ben notes that a baby is a huge responsibility that costs a lot of money. Ciara says it’s not like they don’t make any income. Ben jokes that he’s not getting rich at the garage. Ciara suggests she could work at Titan again. Ben asks if she’d really want to do that since she only did before to prove Victor was framing her for Jordan’s murder. Ciara thinks she’d be really good at that job. Ben asks if Victor would really want her back in the company. Ciara assures that Victor forgave her for everything. Ben worries that Victor will use it against her one day but Ciara is sure that Victor will be on her side, especially if he finds out that she’s carrying his great grandchild.

Gwen goes to Xander’s room. Xander is surprised to see her as he thought they already said their goodbyes. Gwen confirms that they did. Xander reminds her that they can’t be together because Jack thinks he’s a scum of the earth drug dealer. Gwen acknowledges Jack’s article was harsh and says that’s actually why she is here. Xander doesn’t follow. Gwen explains that she couldn’t let Jack think those terrible things about him as it wasn’t fair. Xander says he’s used to people thinking he’s a terrible person. Gwen argues that he’s not because he helped her and kept her safe. Gwen reveals that she told Jack the truth that Xander has been covering for her. Gwen clarifies that she didn’t tell the whole story, just that Dr. Snyder was blackmailing her in to being his drug mule but then Julie called Jack for an emergency so she didn’t get to tell him why she was blackmailed. Gwen and Xander laugh about Julie being stuck in the freezer.

Jack rescues Julie from the freezer at Julie’s Place. Julie complains that she can’t feel her feet as Jack brings her hot tea to warm her up. Julie thanks him for rescuing her. Jack is sorry he didn’t get there sooner. Julie worries about if it was a few more minutes. Jack doesn’t understand how she ended up stuck in the freezer in the first place. Julie reveals that Doug locked her in the freezer. Jack questions why he would do that. Julie says he will have to ask him. Julie explains that they were setting up for dinner and she went back to the freezer but then got locked in. Jack suggests it was an accident but Julie says that Doug looked through the window of the freezer and walked away. Julie adds that she thought Doug must have gone for help but he never came back.

Ciara tells Ben that she gets that their life has been unstable, but they don’t have to be rich to have a baby as she’s pretty sure their jobs will be enough. Ben asks who is going to take care of the kid if they are both working. Ciara says she will work remotely sometimes and they will arrange hours or hire a nanny. Ben questions both working like crazy to earn enough but then hire someone to watch the baby while they are working. Ciara says they will make sacrifices but people do it all the time so they can manage. Ben questions setting the bar for parenting at managing. Ciara questions why Ben is arguing every point she makes and asks if she’s missing something or if he just doesn’t want to have a a baby with her.

Kayla tells Justin that the mystery is solved and Bonnie will show up with freshly painted nails. Justin is relieved and apologizes. Kayla doesn’t think there is anything to worry about. Justin admits he was more worried that Bonnie got cold feet. Kayla assures that Bonnie is crazy about him. Kayla adds that Bonnie went on and on about how much she loves him last night and she can’t wait to be his wife. Justin asks if Bonnie wasn’t concerned at all. Kayla says not about him, but she was worried about Calista.

Calista tells Steve that she doesn’t mind his questions since it’s been awhile since she’s been showered with attention by such a handsome man. Steve says he’s just a curious guy. Calista asks about Steve’s eye patch and how he lost his eye. Steve reveals it was in a knife fight. Calista calls that dramatic and sexy. Calista mentions that weddings put her in a certain mood and invites Steve upstairs, claiming she’s getting a vibe between them. Steve then reveals that he’s married to the matron of honor and very happy. Calista says she understands but jokes that she won’t tell if he won’t.

Ben tells Ciara that he does want to have a baby with her. Ciara feels it really doesn’t seem like it. Ben says that’s only because he’s spent the entire year wanting to do anything to have one more minute with her, so now he’s trying to soak it all up because he knows every moment with her is a gift and he loves being with her, just the two of them. Ciara asks if he thinks a baby is going to ruin that. Ben says he’s just worried about skipping steps. Ciara says she gets that as they think they have all this time, but they don’t know how much time they will have. Ben adds that no one understands that better than he does, but being with her like this on their honeymoon is the happiest he’s ever been in his entire life. Ben says he may be selfish, but he’s not ready to give that up yet. Ciara tells him the honeymoon won’t last forever. Ben jokes that it can last a little bit longer as he kisses her. Ben adds that he lost her for too damn long, so now he wants her all to himself. Ciara questions him not wanting to have the baby conversation at all. Ben asks if it would be alright to postpone talking now.

Justin asks Kayla about Bonnie’s concerns with Calista. Kayla says she doesn’t know but Bonnie was upset, and when she asked her about it, she just said it was Calista. Justin brings up Bonnie being really jumpy when Calista barged in to their bedroom. Justin says he’s still a little unclear about their relationship. Justin asks if he should talk to Bonnie about this before the wedding. Kayla says it’s his call but she doesn’t think there is anything to worry about since Bonnie is completely in love with him. Justin says the feeling is mutual which makes Kayla happy. Justin admits he never saw her coming, but now he can’t imagine his life without her. Justin knows it took Kayla and Steve awhile to come around on Bonnie after what she did to Adrienne. Kayla notes that was a long time ago and they think Bonnie has completely changed. Justin says it means a lot to him that they approve. Kayla jokes that Bonnie will always be quirky but she doesn’t think she’s the same woman who tried to destroy Adrienne’s life and break every law. Kayla believes Bonnie has turned her life around and that maybe motivated by Justin’s love and kindness. Kayla thinks that Bonnie is truly a good person.

Bonnie returns to the Kiriakis Mansion to find Calista trying to make a move on Steve and questions what is going on here. Calista says they were just getting better acquainted. Steve asks what Bonnie is doing here when she’s supposed to be getting dressed at the wedding at Kayla’s. Bonnie says she got hung up so she never made it to Kayla and figured it would be faster to get dressed here. Steve points out that she forgot her makeup bag so Justin was on his way over to Kayla’s to take it to her. Steve offers to call Kayla but Bonnie decides that Calista can help her get dressed. Bonnie asks Steve to call Justin and telling him to bring her makeup bag back. Calista and Bonnie then head upstairs.

Jack asks Julie if she’s sure that Doug saw her in the freezer. Julie says they made eye contact and the Doug she knows would never lock her in the freezer. Julie doesn’t know where Doug is now and thinks something is terribly wrong.

Xander asks Gwen if Julie is alright. Gwen assures that Jack went to rescue her. Xander asks if Gwen is going to tell Jack that her miscarriage happened before her fall down the stairs and had nothing to do with her fight with Abigail. Xander notes that it’s a big risk. Gwen doesn’t think she has any other way out of this. Xander adds that Jack won’t react well. Gwen worries that Jack will be so disappointed in her since he’s worked so hard to bring her in to his family and make up for lost time. Gwen doesn’t think Jack will ever be able to look at her the same. Xander argues that she doesn’t have to do it but Gwen feels she can’t let Jack keep posting nasty stories about him that are untrue, as it will hurt his reputation. Xander mentions the million dollars he spent on his defense. EJ then knocks on the door, demanding Xander open the door and calling him a thief.

Justin is glad that Kayla thinks Bonnie has turned over a new leaf. Kayla confirms that she does and she trusts Justin’s judgment. They joke about Justin being Bonnie’s lawyer and husband as Justin says they don’t want anything connected to the wedding to feel awkward. Kayla acknowledges that it’s strange that she is Bonnie’s matron of honor and Steve is his best man, but she feels the winding road led them to where they really should be. Justin agrees. Kayla feels they had help from above as she’d like to think Adrienne is smiling down on all of them.

Xander opens the door as EJ questions what the hell he’s tryin to pull. EJ opens the briefcase and shows him that it’s empty. Xander doesn’t understand. EJ tells him not to act surprised. Xander knows the money was there this morning. EJ asks if he left it unattended. Xander assures that it’s been with him the whole day. EJ declares that if he’s not lying, then someone stole it because a million dollars doesn’t just walk away on it’s own.

Bonnie brings Calista to her room and gives her the money. Calista says it’s about time and talks about how sexy Steve is. Bonnie asks her to stop and complains that she almost got caught stealing the money, so she would’ve been thrown in prison on her wedding day. Bonnie talks about hiding under a bed while worrying how disappointed Justin would be. Calista jokes about the kind of woman Justin is marrying. Bonnie argues that she’s not a crook anymore. Calista remarks that she had to live with the consequences of stealing her money. Bonnie says that was years ago and she told Justin that she’s done with that life, so she prays he never finds out about this. Calista says he won’t hear from her as she will just take the money and be on her way. Bonnie stops her and says that she’s not going anywhere until she gives her the gun.

Ciara tells Ben that if he’s not ready to have the baby conversation then they can postpone it, because she wants to spend as much time as she can with him too. Ben asks if she’s sure she’s not upset. Ciara says she was just excited for them, finally having a future and being back together with nothing to stop them. Ben promises he’s excited too and he wants to have a baby with her, just not right now. Ciara says she understands and asks why skip steps when each one is so perfect. Ciara decides they should focus on getting to New Orleans if he’s ready to hit the road. Ben agrees that they are on to their next adventure. They say I love you to each other and kiss.

Julie tries calling Doug but he’s not answering. Julie worries about where he could be. Jack assures they will find him. Julie admits she’s getting scared as she has no idea why he would leave her like this. Julie wonders if something awful has happened to him.

EJ complains that he’s out a million dollars. Xander argues that there must be a reasonable explanation. EJ threatens to send Xander to prison and rips up his contract, saying he can forget about his job. EJ then storms out of the room. Gwen asks Xander if he scammed EJ. Xander assures that he was telling the truth as he thought the money was in the briefcase and he never let it out of his sight. Gwen asks if he let anyone else in. Xander remembers Bonnie coming over and admits that someone else was there.

Kayla gets a call from Steve and tells him that Justin is here and they are still waiting on Bonnie. Steve states that she asked him to tell her that she’s not coming because she came back and decided to get ready at the house with Calista. Steve informs Kayla that he met Calista and admits he didn’t get a great vibe.

Bonnie demands Calista give her the gun. Calista says she’s sorry but she’s not getting the gun. Calista then turns the gun to Bonnie and declares that she’s getting the bullet.

Recap written by Christine

At Crimson Lights on the patio, Nick told Devon that the launch was a huge success, and Adam brought up the New Hope tie in in his opening speech. Devon was sorry he missed the party. Nick understood Devon had a lot going on after delivering a baby. He called Devon a hero.

At the hospital, Mariah asked Abby if there was news on Stitch. There wasn’t, but Abby didn’t think he’d risk coming back here, now that he had Max with him. Tessa said he’d better not, if he knew what was good for him. Mariah was on edge, and Abby assured her that Devon hired extra security for the house, so she’d be safe. “And Dominic will be too,” Mariah said. Later, Abby was out of the room. Mariah was anxious about leaving. She felt safe here in the hospital, with Bowie right down the hall. When they left, she’d have to remember to call him Dominic. Tessa knew it’d be difficult, but they were still living at the Chancellor house, so they’d be able to see the baby every day. Mariah felt better knowing he’d be close by so she could see and watch over him. Abby returned and said “The paperwork’s all taken care of. Now, let’s bring our baby boy home.”

The Chancellor mansion was decorated in baby blue for Dominic’s arrival. Victor asked Sharon how Mariah was doing, and Sharon admitted it’d been rough. Victor vowed that what Mariah did for Abby wouldn’t be forgotten. Nina and Ashley arrived together. They were grateful their grandson was alive after what Stitch put him through. Nina wished she could talk to Chance. Victor wished he were here to welcome his son home. Nina knew Chance would want them to have a joyous and memorable homecoming for Abby, the baby and Mariah. Victor welcomed Ashley to the grandparents’ club. Devon came with a lot of gifts, but he didn’t plan to stay, because he didn’t want to crowd Abby and Mariah on their special day. Sharon thought Devon should stay, because it was a special moment for him too. Abby, Dominic, Mariah and Tessa arrived. Abby introduced Dominic to his grandparents. The others watched from a distance, and Mariah tried to put on a brave face. Later, everyone sat down in the living room, and Devon gave Mariah credit for protecting Dominic. This sparked a discussion about what Mariah had been through. Ashley said it wasn’t like the Ben Rayburn she knew. Nina asked if Mariah had any idea why Ben held her captive. Mariah didn’t know, and she seemed uncomfortable, so Tessa said she was taking her outside for air. They left. Ashley and Nina thought Mariah was strong and courageous. Sharon was proud of Mariah, but she said they couldn’t disregard the severity of what she’d been through.

In the park, Mariah confided in Tessa that she couldn’t seem to let go. She was just supposed to be an incubator, a carrier, and it was supposed to be simple to just walk away. Tessa thought it made sense for Mariah to struggle after everything she’d been through. Mariah agreed and said maybe, if she weren’t locked away with Bowie… Dominic, fighting to survive, she wouldn’t have this connection. But she was locked away, and she did have that connection. Tessa thought that was natural. “I was literally his only lifeline, and he was mine. We needed each other to survive. And I think Dominic feels that too,” Mariah stated.

Ashley, Nina and Devon watched Abby walk around rocking her baby. “No one is ever gonna take you from me again,” she said.

Billy ran into Victoria at Crimson Lights and told her she missed a doozy of a party. She observed that he didn’t have any bruises. He said he’d behaved, but there was a new troublemaker in town who wasn’t afraid to take on the big dogs. He brought Victoria up to speed. She thought Adam and Sally deserved one another, and she laughed about Phyllis dousing Sally with ice water. For the first time, she was siding with Phyllis, because of what Sally did to Summer. She didn’t regret missing the party, because she spent quality time with their children. He said Nick told him that she missed the party because Ashland had a hard time after chemotherapy. He hoped Ashland was okay. She noted that he was going full steam ahead on this story, which was supposed to be about Tara, but the investigation had zeroed in on Ashland instead. She said that he professed to be supportive, but he was focusing on Ashland, and not the criminal, Tara. He said he’d always support her and the children. She appreciated that, but she said Ashland wasn’t the enemy. Victoria knew Billy would overplay anything negative that his reporters turned up. Billy stated that Ashland was hiding something big, and he thought Victoria sensed it too.

Billy told Victoria to be honest – how much did she really know about Ashland’s past, particularly his early business days. “So, it was you digging around in Ashland’s past. Lily wouldn’t admit it outright,” she said. Victoria snapped that if you dug in anyone’s past long enough, you’d find someone willing to trash them. He thought there were legitimate questions about how Ashland paid for those TV stations and the nature of his relationship with that older wealthy mentor. “Stay out of Ashland’s life. Stay out of our lives,” Victoria ordered. She walked out as Billy questioned her about what Ashland was hiding. Nick came inside and asked what that was about. Billy thought he hit a nerve.

Billy said he questioned Victoria until she stormed out. Nick said his sister didn’t like to be challenged. Billy thought Victoria was more worried about Ashland than she wanted to admit. Nick said that Victoria might be annoyed with Billy prying. Billy noted that Victoria didn’t know where Ashland got the money to buy the station. Nick suggested the mentor gave it to him. Billy was skeptical about an off-the-books deathbed favor. Nick said Billy had nothing besides this deep desire to find something damning on Ashland. Billy was adamant that this was about protecting his children, not jealousy. He was sure that Victoria could take Ashland on with her hands tied behind her back, as long as she had the facts. Billy was arguing his point when Victor walked in and said this was none of Billy’s business. Billy thought they were on the same page here, but Victor doubted that. Victor heard from an employee that Billy was sneaking around his private suite last night. He said not to do it again. Billy told Nick to think about what he said, and he left. “You didn’t want Billy to know that I was the one who told you about the break in,” Nick stated. Victor said no, because he needed information from Billy’s sources, and he didn’t want to cut that off. Nick knew Billy would do everything he could to prevent Ashland from hurting Victoria. He added that, so far, Billy seemed open to keeping him in the loop. Victor couldn’t stand Billy, but they couldn’t afford to lose access to the information that he was gathering. Nick said that Billy’s investigators hadn’t found anything Victor’s hadn’t, so far. Victor decided not to destroy ChancComm until he found out what he wanted to know about Ashland Locke. Nick was okay playing the double agent, getting information from Billy and taking it back to Victor. There was something about Ashland that Victor didn’t trust, and he wanted all the information before the wedding, if there was a wedding.

Ashland bumped into Nate at Society and told him that the supplements were helping. To repay the favor, Ashland wrote a large check. Victoria told him that Nikki was helping Nate fund raise for a hospital wing. “Consider this half a wing,” Ashland said. Nate appreciated the generosity, but he hoped Ashland didn’t think he treated him in hopes of getting money. Ashland still wanted to repay Nate’s kindness. Nate wanted to at least give Ashland a proper pitch on how the hospital would use the new wing. Ashland suggested they discuss it over drinks with the women in their lives, and Nate accepted. Victoria walked in as Nate was leaving.

Victoria told Ashland she’d had a run in with Billy. She then praised Ashland’s generous donation to Memorial and wished that everyone could see this side of him. He only cared what she saw in him. She said that if Billy knew about this, he might see Ashland differently. Victoria mentioned that Billy kept questioning how Ashland bought the news stations to start his career. She asked if there was anything he wasn’t telling her, something Billy might dig up and use against him. She assured him he could be honest with her. As the daughter of Victor Newman, there was nothing that Ashland could say that would shock her. She hoped he knew he could trust her. He did trust her. He’d been ruthless, but he never broke the law, and he defied Billy and anyone else to prove otherwise.

Adam was on a jog through the park, but he stopped when he saw Sally bending over, lacing her shoes. She turned around and saw him. She was awkward, and he told her to relax. She couldn’t, because after that kiss, which he said couldn’t happen again, she was wondering what he thought of her. He claimed that he thought the awkwardness was because she got into it with Phyllis. Sally maintained that Phyllis deserved to get a drink thrown in her face. He said the night was a success, even with the side of drama. He assured Sally that they were good. Chloe walked up and overheard Sally ask Adam to dinner. She didn’t approve.

Chloe walked up and said hi to Sally and Adam. Deciding Chloe should hear it from her, Sally revealed that she got into it with Phyllis. Chloe wasn’t surprised. Smirking, Adam gave Chloe the details. Chloe thought that Adam should’ve kept an eye on Sally and Phyllis to make sure this didn’t happen. He commented that she could always find a reason to blame him. Chloe asked what kind of damage control they’d need to do, and Sally said, fortunately, the press didn’t know about this, and no one posted a video online. She credited Adam’s PR management, but he said it was mostly dumb luck. He told Chloe to ask Sally about the idea she came up with last night at the launch. He left. Chloe had a sense of what Sally’s idea was.

Sally didn’t know what Chloe was insinuating, but she insisted that nothing happened between her and Adam last night. Chloe saw the pictures of Sally arriving on Adam’s arm. Sally said it was innocent, but Chloe said there was no such thing where Adam was concerned. She noted that Sally played with fire, even after all the warnings, and she asked how far it went. Sally admitted she and Adam shared an impulsive kiss that didn’t go further. Chloe was glad Sally hit the brakes. Sally clarified that she initiated the kiss, and Adam stopped it because he said he was toxic. Sally thought the fact that Adam acknowledged he had a problem signaled growth. Chloe said Adam was uniquely diabolical, and no matter how strong Sally thought he was, he’d find a way to wreck her. Sally contended that she held her own against Phyllis, which she thought meant she could deal with difficult people. Chloe praised healthy relationships instead of being with difficult people. Sally thought that sounded a little boring. Chloe realized Sally wouldn’t take her advice on this. Chloe said that life for Adam’s son Connor hadn’t been easy, and he still thought his parents were in a relationship, so whatever connection Sally thought she had with Adam, it would get harder before it got easier.

Adam and Sally ran into each other again at The Grand Phoenix. He’d had a meeting, and he hoped she didn’t think he was stalking her. It never crossed her mind. She was there to change at the gym, since it was closer than going home. Plus, she’d take any opportunity to tick Phyllis off. Sally shifted gears. Her job was important, so she thought she and Adam should hit the reset button and act like the kiss never happened. Adam assumed Chloe had something to do with this. Sally stated that she took Chloe’s repeated warnings about Adam with a grain of salt until today. She mentioned what Chloe said about Connor. Sally didn’t want to hurt Adam’s little boy. Adam said Connor always came first, and that was a big reason why he put the brakes on with Sally. He guessed that meant she was rescinding her dinner invitation, but she said it could be a working dinner. He thought about it and agreed. Chelsea called, so he stepped away to take it.

Elena looked over her contract at ChancComm. She mentioned to Lily that Newman Media tried to offer her a job. Lily couldn’t believe they’d tried to poach Elena, and she said she guessed the competition had begun. Lily grumbled about how low Newman Media stooped. Elena said it was fine, she was signing this contract, and she didn’t entertain Victor’s offer. Lily promised Elena’s loyalty would be repaid. Elena admired Lily for stepping into this high powered position with poise and grace. Elena was curious about something, but then she decided not to be intrusive, because Lily was her boss. Lily said she was off the clock, and they were going to go out and have girl talk.

Lily and Elena went to the Crimson Lights Patio. Lily said the best part was being able to give jobs to some of the women she was in prison with and seeing them turn their lives around. She was grateful to be able to be part of that. Elena couldn’t imagine how hard that was for Lily. Lily said the hardest part was not seeing her family. Her family was together again. She hoped her kids would come home, and she was glad Devon and Nate made peace. Elena felt guilty about her part in that. Lily said Elena played a large part in helping them reconcile, and she was glad Elena was part of the family. Elena said that they sort of had a baby in the family. Having gone through the surrogacy thing, herself, she really believed everything would be fine.

She thought the baby felt the bond they shared. Abby promised Dominic that no one would ever take him from her again. Billy brought Victoria up to speed on the Newman launch party.

[ Chuckles ] Come on. What do you expect? We’re at a party filled with people singing Newman Media’s praises. Doesn’t mean that we can’t try to outmaneuver them still.

Billy: I know, but it’s nauseating, watching them congratulate each other over and over. Let’s go have dinner at Society.

Lily: Oh, my — no, that is petty.

Billy: What’s worse, I die of boredom, watching them pat each other on the back over and over and over?

Nick: Looks like I missed all the excitement. What happened?

Jack: Phyllis, you want to fill nick in?

Phyllis: The launch, uh, presentation is going to start soon. I’ll have to get ready for it. Excuse me.

Nick: Alright, spill it. What happened?

Adam: [ Breathing heavily ] Where did that come from?

Sally: I mean, do we really need to question it? Why don’t we just follow our impulse and see where it leads?

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Abby: Tessa, hey, um, do you have a minute to talk?

Tessa: Yeah. Is something wrong?

Abby: It’s mariah. What she went through is awful. Who knows what this whole ordeal may have done to her?

Mariah: Please…somebody… help. Let us out. Let — let — let us out! My baby needs to live!

Elena: Hello.

Nate: Hey, you made it back.

Elena: Yeah, fortunately, my patient stabilized, and I’m so relieved for her — and for me. Not to be shallow, but this dress deserved to be worn more than a few minutes.

Nate: Well, I will help you make up for lost party time. I promise.

Lily: So, are you really gonna let nick stop you from getting this scoop before the speeches?

Billy: Right now, I think we need a new strategy, starting with you and me launching ourselves out of this dud of a party.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: This would be a massively bad idea.

Sally: Massively bad or enticingly good?

Adam: [ Sighs, chuckles ] Um…both. And, unfortunately, the bad outweighs the good.

Sally: Why, because, technically you’re my boss?

Adam: Um, that’s another excellent reason that I think we need to, um, slam on the brakes.

Sally: Another reason? Okay, so now you have, like, a whole list of reasons not to kiss me?

Adam: No, it’s just one that, uh, overshadows everything else.

Sally: And what could that possibly be?

Adam: I am toxic.

Phyllis: Yeah the ballroom is ready now, so, uh, tell the waitstaff to be ready with the champagne for the toast. Um… no, uh, well, then make sure — make sure we have enough. No delays, please.

[ Sighs ]

Victor: Phyllis.

Phyllis: Oh. Hello.

Victor: Your little display with that spectra woman was something.

Phyllis: She threw a drink in my face.

Victor: Kindly refrain from any further antics, alright?

Phyllis: Victor, I can’t be responsible for who your — your son, adam, decides to escort here on his arm. I mean, that girl is trouble. I provide the venue and the food, but the rest is you.

Victor: Phyllis, behave. I order my groceries online now.

Additional sponsorship

Sally: Well, that was the most original rejection I’ve ever heard. Don’t you think you might be exaggerating a little bit?

Adam: No, I’m being absolutely truthful. This is not me making up an excuse, alright? ‘Cause I feel a definite attraction between us, sally, but whenever I’ve acted on this impulse with anybody, I have left a wake of destruction behind me.

Sally: I think you might be too hard on yourself.

Adam: No, I’m just being real. Trust me, I’ve been down this road before. It would be a huge mistake.

Sally: Okay, well, I strongly disagree, but since this is such an important night for you, i won’t argue.

Adam: Hm.

Sally: And, frankly, I could make the same case to you about myself because my own romantic track record has a high toxicity level.

Adam: Sally, I want to be perfectly clear. This is in no way a reflection on you, alright? You are smart, and you are dynamic. You’re beautiful.

Sally: Uh, yeah, it’s not me, it’s you. I get it. It’s a damn shame, though, ’cause I feel like it would’ve been pretty spectacular.

Adam: Well, at least this way it can stay spectacular, locked away in our imaginations. Do we agree?

Victor: Tonight is about newman media, alright? So don’t make me regret spending all this money to hold this event at your hotel.

Phyllis: Okay, well, you should regret hiring sally spectra at your company. I mean, here she is, representing your company, and she threw a drink in my face.

Victor: I enjoyed the spectacle, by the way. Didn’t you dump ice water all over her?

Phyllis: Yeah. Well, yeah.

Victor: Let me deal with her, okay?

Phyllis: Okay, you deal with her. And while you’re at it, you should deal with adam. He should get better dates. But, if you ask me, he and sally spectra are a match made in hell.

Jack: A word of warning — sally and phyllis should be kept as far apart as possible for the remainder of the evening, maybe for the remainder of their lives.

Nick: Makes sense. I’m no fan of sally’s either.

Jack: Well, I understand that. I can’t defend her myself.

Sally: I should go outside and get some fresh air before your big speech. Okay.

Nick: Still trying to make sense of that pairing.

Jack: I’m not questioning it. To each his…or her own.

Nikki: Well, congratulations, nate.

Nate: Thank you.

Elena: He is gonna be an incredible chief of surgery. He’s already a brilliant surgeon, so he knows exactly what the department needs, and he’s got all these great ideas, like expanding the hospital’s surgical wing.

Nikki: Oh, I think that’s a wonderful idea. I mean, memorial’s surgical team is top-notch. I still have my granddaughter because of them. I will be forever grateful.

Elena: Right. And just think about all the extra lives we’ll be able to save with the expansion.

Nikki: Well, you sound very proud of him.

Elena: I couldn’t be more proud. I could go another hour talking about all of his accomplishments.

Nate: Okay, okay.

[ Chuckles ] Enough about me. I-I am not the only one making impressive career moves.

Nikki: Oh, is that right?

Nate: Yes, elena here is about to be the new face of askmdnow.

Nikki: Really?

Victor: Well, now, I’m very sorry to hear that.

Nikki: Oh, now, victor, why on earth would you say such a thing?

Victor: Well, because adam was just about to offer elena a very good position as chief medical journalist for newman media.

Elena: What?

Victor: If your contract with chanccomm is now untied, you can always jump ship, you know, and join a far more successful media company.

Elena: [ Exhales sharply ]

Think wearing less makeup

means no need for a wipe?

Abby: She told you about the nightmare that she had? She was held against her will for so long, I can’t help but worry that she’s gonna have lasting emotional scars.

Tessa: Look, I’m concerned, too, but I know how strong mariah is. She is resilient enough to get through this. We’re just gonna have to do everything we can to be there for her and show her nothing but support and love.

Abby: I can’t stop thinking about what mariah went through. She was locked up in a tiny room, no one to talk to, she didn’t know if anyone was coming for her, and she was desperate to protect little dominic, who was growing inside of her. Has she opened up to you about any of this?

Tessa: I’m sure that she’s still processing. I’m gonna talk to sharon about some treatment for her, but I’m hoping that all she really needs is some time.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Dana: Mariah?

Mariah: Hi.

Dana: Little dominic needs feeding.

Mariah: Oh, yeah. Um, I just pumped my milk into a bottle. But would it be okay if — if i fed him?

Billy: I found nothing. No secret, no surprise about what they’re planning on launch tonight, which means there’s nothing going on, and this is all smoke and mirrors. Either way [Sighs] What are we doing wasting our time? Let’s get the hell out of here.

Lily: Okay, is it possible maybe you heard all the positive buzz going around and you got bummed out?

Billy: What’s worse, I die of boredom, watching them pat each other on the back over and over and over?

Lily: Well, if you die of boredom, then you can’t indulge in what I have planned later.

Billy: Consider me very much alive.

Victor: Well, now, in case you haven’t made a definite commitment to chanccomm, newman media is open to offering you a very lucrative contract, you know.

Elena: [ Exhales sharply ] Wow. I am so flattered, but I’ve already accepted chanccomm’s offer.

Victor: Well, have you signed the contract?

Elena: No, but I gave them my word, and I won’t go back on that.

Victor: I see, I see, I see. Well, sorry to hear that, but i admire your loyalty.

Nikki: Congratulations again. Enjoy the rest of your evening.

Victor: Oh, nice to see you.

Nate: Wow. I am more impressed with you than ever. Not only did you walk away from a boatload of money, but you turned victor newman down flat.

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

Nate: Not many people have the guts to do that.

Elena: Well, I wasn’t gonna abandon lily and sign with her competitor. What kind of person would do that?

Nate: Definitely not your kind.

[ Both chuckle ]

Elena: I will say it feels really good to be wanted.

Nate: Mm. And I will say media companies aren’t the only ones who want you.

Elena: Ah.

Victor: Son.

Adam: Dad. Well, looks like a banner night for newman media.

Victor: Well, I don’t entirely agree. What your girlfriend, or your date for the night, displayed earlier was not good. It almost ruined tonight’s festivities, you know.

Adam: You have nothing to worry about. It’s all under control. Media companies, they thrive on headlines, even when they occasionally create a couple scandalous ones of their own.

Victor: I prefer headlines that point out the successful debut of tonight’s opening of the newman media company, okay?

Adam: I promise you that we will come out of this like champions. We ready to get things rolling?

Victor: This is your night, you know.

Adam: [ Clears throat ] Good evening, everyone. Thanks for coming. If you will join me in the ballroom for the main event, the rise of the next generation of media companies. Nope

Lily: Okay, look, i understand if you want to skip this part, alright, so I will go represent for us, okay? And, plus, I want to see everyone’s reaction.

Billy: Have at it. Better you than me.

[ Sighs ] Hi. Can I get a, uh — make it a double, please — scotch.

[ Clears throat ]

Phyllis: Hey, did they complete sound check? Okay, that’s good to know. Uh, okay, thanks. Hey, baby, you want a drink?

Nick: Hey. No.

Phyllis: Ooh.

Nick: I want to know what happened. Now, jack had your back and didn’t say much more than you and sally were just butting heads.

Phyllis: I mean, I may have exacerbated the situation by, uh, telling her that she was not welcome at the party and that she should leave and keep on going until [Clears throat] She’s out of town.

Nick: Really? Then what?

Phyllis: Uh, I believe that got her angry.

Nick: You think?

Phyllis: Uh, and then, um, may have provoked her to throw a drink in my face, and that may have then caused me to take the ice bucket and pour it over her head. I deeply regret my actions.

Nick: Do you?

Phyllis: No, I don’T. I-I really don’T. I don’T. It was awesome seeing her as a waterlogged mess. It was great.

Nick: Okay. Uh, where did jack come in?

Phyllis: Well, she kept coming at me, and I’m not just gonna stand back and do nothing. So I lunged at her and jack pulled me back and then adam reined her in.

Nick: Listen, I really get your animosity toward her, alright? It’s tough to forget everything she did to our daughter, but you have got to let it go and move forward, because, I’m telling you, sally isn’t going anywhere.

Phyllis: Oh, no. Do you think that’s true?

Nick: She seems very determined to make her mark here. Now, I’m as angry as you are about what she’s done to summer, okay, but it doesn’t do anyone any good for you to kick the hornet’s nest every time the two of you are around each other.

Phyllis: Okay, you make a good point. Well, look at that over there. That’s — that’s a sad sight.

Nick: Since my dad asked me to keep an eye on him, I guess that’s my cue.

Phyllis: Hey, um, I’m sorry if I embarrassed you. And you’re right. You’re right. I’ll just move on from here.

Nick: It’s alright. Just try and stay dry the rest of the night.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] I will. Ugh, wait a second. No, that’s the wrong one. No, no, no, no.

Nick: [ Sighs ] What are you doing out here, billy? Newman media’s about to take off, and, uh, I thought you were willing to spy to figure out what their game plan was.

Billy: Well, I was, but now that it’s all out in the open, it’s a bit of a bore, isn’t it? And, really, I don’t want to hear adam blah-blah-blah about how tremendous newman media’s gonna be. I’d rather sit here by myself.

[ Applause ]

Victor: Good evening. Welcome, everyone, and thank you for coming. I’m very proud to announce the launch of a new enterprise, a new venture, but I’m even prouder to announce that I will be partnering in this venture with my son, adam. We are starting a whole new enterprise, one you will all hear about, I promise you. Without further ado, let me introduce to you the ceo of newman media, my son, adam newman.

[ Applause ]

Adam: Thanks, dad.

[ Sighs ] And thank you all for, uh, coming out to support the most innovative, dynamic, new media company. Now, I bet you’re all wondering what it is about newman media that makes it destined for such phenomenal success, and the answer is power. The power and strength of family, something my father’s been trying to teach me for years. Well, dad, it, uh — it’s finally sunken in. This company was born out of family, it was named for family, and soon we’ll be working with family, doing charitable work with my brother nicholas’ new hope organization, and one day, I hope to bring my own son into the business, just like my father has done with me. But I know I am getting ahead of myself, uh, already thinking about the next generations, and I should be focused on our launch, but we have a lot of new and exciting outlets and platforms in store. So brace yourselves, world, because newman media is coming out swinging.

[ Applause ] Is olay better than your clean beauty?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Lily: I mean, I hate to admit it, but adam put on a surprisingly good speech.

Elena: Yeah, it was so sincere and enthusiastic. You think he’s turned a new corner?

Lily: I mean, it could’ve been an act, but whatever it is, I’m glad I didn’t miss it.

Elena: Speaking of missing, aren’t devon and amanda supposed to be here?

Lily: Uh, they decided to stay in ’cause amanda’s leaving early tomorrow to go on a trip with her mom and sister.

Elena: Aww, she must be so excited to be getting so much closer with them. And he must be so worn out from spending so much time at the hospital. Ah, he’s been so heroic in chance’s absence. He’s been going above and beyond to save mariah and then help bring baby dominic into the world.

Lily: I know.

Elena: [ Sighs ] Oh, excuse me. I am being summoned.

Lily: Okay.

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

Lily: Bye.

Elena: Bye.

Billy: So, what’d I miss? Anything exciting?

Lily: Well, neither victor nor adam made any mention of their competition’s name, including chanccomm.

Billy: Of course not. They’re not gonna give us the free press. But that does not mean that they’re gonna play fairly.

Lily: No, and there were no shots fired, but adam made it very clear that he’s planning on expanding from locke’s original company by procuring more talent and outlets.

Billy: Why am I not surprised?

Lily: Yeah, and he didn’t specify any targets, but I swear he glanced my way.

Billy: Well, let him come after us. We’ll do everything we can to protect our assets.

Lily: And, I don’t know, i might’ve misread victor’s reaction, but it seemed like he didn’t seem very pleased when adam mentioned adding on more entities.

Billy: Well, now, that is exciting, because victor would not give up an opportunity to come and take a shot at chanccomm, which means, if I’m correct, they’re not on the same page.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Okay, honestly, what did you think?

Jack: Well, I’m never going to sing victor newman’s praises, but I’m happy for adam. I want to see him turn his life around. I want to see him put all the anger and resentment in the past. You know what else I think?

Phyllis: I asked you, didn’t I?

Jack: I think the venue was spectacular, I think the food was amazing, and I think all of your hard work really showed.

Phyllis: Thank you. Thank you very much. Ah, I just hope that newman media feels the same. I-I hope that all of that overshadows, you know, that little dustup earlier. By the way, thank you. Thank you for controlling me so it didn’t, you know, go any further.

Jack: Well, I just wanted to spare the loss of any more valuable champagne.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ] Yeah, but it would’ve been worth it to see sally drenched. It would’ve been worth every dime.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, by the way, I hope this is dry. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ]

Abby: I’m gonna go visit dominic.

Tessa: Yes, uh, I would love to join you. I want to be there when mariah wakes up. I do have a surprise for you. I have been writing a lullaby for the baby.

Abby: You have? Ah, play it for me, please, right now.

Tessa: Okay, yes, but it is definitely not done, and I still have some fine-tuning to do.

Waiting all of my life

for the day we’d meet

as the sun goes to sleep

time for you to dream

milky ways

drift away

here I’ll stay

keep you safe

managing type 2 diabetes?

Victor: I think it was a great success so far.

Adam: We pulled it off. I think it was a hit.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Billy: Ah, well, gentlemen, congratulations. Newman media made it through the night with barely a scandal.

Victor: Who asked you to come over here and talk to us? By the way, you look like three sheets to the wind, you know? You had too much of that good liquor, right?

Adam: Everyone here tonight would agree it was nothing less than a grand slam.

Billy: Well, we’ll see what happens in the morning when you have to actually accomplish something. There’s a big difference between throwing a mediocre party and actually connecting to the masses.

Victor: Oh, you connect to the masses?

Billy: You know, you guys, you have to actually say something that people want to hear in order to have a successful business.

Victor: And you do?

Billy: Oh, yeah.

Victor: Oh.

Billy: Oh, and just so we’re clear, whatever you have planned for chanccomm, we’ll be ready.

Victor: Good.

Adam: Uh-huh. You a little paranoid?

Billy: No, no, not at all. But I don’t trust him. Oh, and I would check with, uh — with phyllis, as well. If you plan on having your going-out-of-business party here, as well, it’ll probably be around the holidays, so you might want to check and see. Usually gets booked up.

Victor: Billy boy… you always have been and always will be a pain in the ass, okay?

Billy: Thank you.

Victor: You have a nice evening. Don’t drink too much of that, okay?

Billy: I’ll be fine.

Victor: We have business to discuss.

Lily: Okay, what did I miss?

Billy: Nothing. I simply came over here to congratulate the competition, and it turned into a posturing event.

Lily: Right. On both sides, I’m sure.

Billy: Can we stop talking about newman media? I think you’ll be happy to see that I didn’t die of boredom, so I am ready to start that after party.

Lily: Oh, I want to get out of here more than you do.

Billy: Trust me, I do not think so.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: You got us a suite?

Lily: Well, victoria opted out of the party and stayed home with the kids, so no need for us to rush back home. And, uh, I don’t know. I felt sentimental being back here.

Billy: I like the way you’re thinking.

Lily: And I didn’t book just any suite, but I booked your old suite, ’cause that’s where we first made love. That’s where it all began.

[ Chuckles ]

Billy: And that’s where it’ll all continue.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Let’s go upstairs.

Elena: It’s so nice of you to escort me home.

Nate: So nice to have shared this evening with you, even though I now know I was just the plus-one of the hot new talent victor was trying to woo…

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

Nate: …And not invited on my own merits.

Elena: Very funny. I can’t believe I am so in demand right now.

Nate: Well, I am glad I am not the only one who realizes how amazing and special you are. Other people are clearly catching on.

Elena: Well, thank you. But I’m not the only person who’s been shown appreciation. You got nikki newman to offer to help you fundraise for the hospital expansion? How cool is that?

Nate: I know. Tell me about it. I am so stoked to have the fundraising goddess on my side.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] I think we’re on a lucky streak. Maybe we shouldn’t jinx it.

Nate: Ooh, ooh, I don’t — i don’t think we could. Some things are ironclad. Unjinxable.

Elena: I don’t think that’s a word.

Nate: Maybe not, but it’s a fact.

Elena: Hmm. So maybe we should prove that point and keep the night going. I don’t have to work tomorrow, so I can sleep in.

Nate: Mm, I like the sound of that. I think I can actually, uh, change my schedule a little bit myself to stay in.

Elena: Mm. Ariah: Look at you. Yeah, look at you. Oh, boy. We had quite an adventure, didn’t we? You know, I was not sure that we were gonna make it out of there, and, you know what, we probably wouldn’t have if it weren’t for you. You kept me sane in there. You know that? And I’m not gonna forget a single second of it, okay? Oh, gosh.

[ Sniffles ] Wow. It feels so different, holding you out here in my arms than it did when you were inside of me.

[ Sniffles ] I can’t believe how natural it feels, holding you. Do you want to know a secret? Yeah? Do you? I wish I could breastfeed you. Yeah. But I can’T. It’s in the contract I signed.

[ Sniffles ] Don’t worry, okay? That’s my milk. That’s my milk that you’re eating right now. It’s gonna make you strong. It’s gonna make you healthy. Bowie. That’s what you’ll always be to me.

[ Sniffles ] My sweet precious little bowie.

[ Footsteps approaching ] With downy infusions, let the scent set the mood.

Phyllis: I mean, honestly, why did I take the bait? Why did I let that little girl get to me? Seriously? [ Sighs ] Last thing I needed was another scandal at some event at my hotel.

Nick: You got to stop blaming yourself. Sally is a button-pusher. She’s gonna take every opportunity she has to push yours, alright? You should be proud of yourself. You didn’t let things get out of control. My dad’s night wasn’t ruined. There was no real damage done.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Okay. I mean, you’re not gonna judge me for that?

Nick: Like I said, no harm, no foul.

Phyllis: Okay. Thanks. So, are you still gonna pamper me?

Nick: Mm. Yeah, I mean, you’re gonna have to lose the headset first, for sure.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] Really?

Nick: Yeah.

Phyllis: Mm. Oh, hang on for a second. Security. Yeah? Oh, yeah, you see the super sexy guy in my room? Okay. What? Um, I’m sorry. We’re gonna need you to take off your jacket and your shirt. Yeah, he’s taking it off right now. And your tie.

Nick: And the tie? Okay.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] Okay.

[ Chuckles ]

Nikki: Well, congratulations, darling. Your launch was a smashing success.

Victor: Yeah, I think so, toO. But, you know, I’m still troubled by adam flirting with that woman, whatever her name is.

Nikki: Yeah, sally spectra.

Victor: Oh, okay.

Nikki: I don’t disagree with you. I’m troubled by that woman period. After what she did to summer, she has proven that she can’t be trusted.

Victor: Huh.

Nikki: We’re gonna have to keep an eye on her very carefully.

Victor: Oh, yeah. But you know, I can admit I-i kind of enjoyed phyllis taking that bucket of ice water and pouring it all over her head.

Nikki: I liked that, too.

Victor: You did?

[ Both chuckle ] Oh, yeah. Well, you know, a little excitement.

Sally: I can’t thank you enough for being so understanding about my little scuffle with phyllis tonight. I doubt your father feels the same way. He didn’t seem too pleased.

Adam: Did he say anything to you?

Sally: Mnh-mnh. He didn’t have to. That man has a death glare that could flatten a whole town.

Adam: Listen, um, don’t worry about my dad. He has bigger fish to flatten. Trust me. More importantly, though, how do you think the speeches went over?

Sally: You’re a born leader. Proved yourself to be quite the visionary, and I wasn’t the only one impressed with everything you have to offer. Well, it is getting late. I better get home. In case you were wondering, the answer is yes.

Adam: Hmm?

Sally: Despite your warning, there is a good chance that i will be dreaming of spectacular things tonight about what might’ve been.

Tessa: Aww, mariah, you’re awake. I’m sorry. I wanted to be here when you woke up.

Mariah: Oh, that’s okay. I was just feeding the baby. Um, I’m sorry, abby. It’s just he wa– he was hungry, so…

Abby: No, no, that’s okay. Um, if he needed to be fed, yeah. Um, you know what? Uh, I’m sure he’s not finished yet. Can I take over?

Mariah: Um, he is. Sorry. [ Chuckles ]

Abby: Oh.

Tessa: Well, hey, uh, i finished the lullaby, and, judging by abby’s reaction, she seems like a big fan.

Abby: He probably needs to be burped. I can do it. Yeah?

Mariah: Yeah.

Abby: Thanks. Oh, dominic. Hi. Mommy’s here. Hi, my love. Oh, you are so perfect. My little dominic. I love you so much. Hi, my precious boy.

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Victoria: I had a run-in with billy. Just seems that, no matter what I say, he’s bound and determined to find something damning in your past.

Abby: Welcome, dominic, to your new home and family.

Phyllis: Thoroughly sally. I don’t know who you were hoping she would turn out to be.

Jack: You want an honest answer? I guess I was hoping she’d turn into you.

Sally: Mm. Well, now that we’re here, the party has officially started.

Adam: Mm. Well, we definitely captured everyone’s attention.

Sally: Yeah, some more than others. I think it’s time we go greet the coordinator of this fine event.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Alright, lead the way, miss. Hello, phyllis. Place looks great. Just wanted to thank you for handling the festivities. It’s gonna be a big night for newman media.

Phyllis: Big night for me. Lots of publicity for my hotel. And thank you, by the way, for the huge mound of cash you gave me to throw this party.

Jack: Congratulations on this new venture. I wish you lots of success with it.

Adam: Mm, thank you, jack.

Jack: Evening, sally.

Sally: Jack.

Phyllis: You know, I don’t know if success is in the cards for this coupling. I’m pretty sure — now I was just telling jack that the two of you are probably gonna destroy each other, so have a good time while it lasts.

Adam: We will. Thanks.

Jack: Was that really necessary?

Phyllis: Yes, it was. Yes.

Nikki: Whose buttons is adam trying to push by bringing sally tonight?

Victor: I had no idea he was bringing anyone, and I don’t think I would have approved.

Nikki: Well, I have to tell you about some people who will not be attending.

Victor: Who?

Nikki: That’s why victoria called earlier. They’re not coming.

Victor: Oh.

Nikki: Ashland is having a rough time coming off his second round of chemo.

Victor: I’m sorry to hear that.

Adam: Good evening, dad.

Victor: Son.

Adam: Dad, um, this is sally spectra. Sally, this is my father.

Victor: How do you do?

Sally: Hello, sir.

Victor: My wife, nikki.

Nikki: We’ve met.

Sally: Hi, nikki.

Adam: Well, I’m sorry to hear about ashland.

Victor: Yeah, so am I.

Sally: Well, this is gonna be a wonderful evening. I’m so pleased to be here as part of the newman media team.

Nikki: I’ll bet you are.

Adam: It’s gonna be an extraordinary night.

Victor: I certainly hope so. Nice meeting you.

Sally: You as well.

[ Knock on door ]

Devon: Hey.

Amanda: Hey.

Devon: Ready to go?

Amanda: Oh, god. I’m sorry. I completely forgot about the party.

Devon: You forgot? What’s wrong?

Amanda: [ Sighs ] I just got off the phone with michael baldwin, and he is reinstating the charges against sutton. So a court date is being set for my grandfather’s murder trial.

Devon: That’s a good thing, right?

Amanda: Yeah, it is. I hoped that it would happen, but michael wasn’t 100% sure, and now that it’s happening, I — I think I just can’t believe that it’s happening. My grandfather is finally gonna face a jury for the murder of my father.

Devon: Well, hopefully your dad will get the justice that he deserves to get.

Amanda: Oh, my god, I am so grateful. And not just for this. Me and naya, our relationship is getting so much better.

Devon: Yeah?

Amanda: Yeah, and we’re actually going on a short trip with imani — a family bonding thing.

Devon: Get out of here. That’s amazing.

Amanda: Yeah, now with the trial on the horizon, I just — I feel like this long, painful journey has finally come to an end.

Devon: And now a new amazing journey is beginning for you.

Amanda: Yeah. You know, we’ve had a lot of life-altering changes lately, huh? You just brought a new life into this world.

Devon: Yeah, that’s right. That’s — I’m still wrapping my mind around that. I, um — I know one thing — dominic is just the cutest baby I’ve ever seen in my life, and i have some new pictures to show you. Look.

Amanda: Devon, he is absolutely adorable.

Devon: I know, I know. He really, really is.

[ Chuckles ]

Billy: And the award for the most obnoxious entrance goes to adam and sally.

Jack: You don’t have to worry about them. There won’t be any trouble as long as everyone is on their best behavior.

Billy: Are you talking about me?

Phyllis: You mean me?

Jack: Yes and yes.

Sally: I’m disappointed that victoria and ashland won’t be here. I was hoping to find a moment to persuade victoria to let me design her wedding dress.

Adam: Mm. I wouldn’t hold your breath on that. Victoria is not gonna forget what you did to summer, and my sister holds a grudge better than anyone else in the family, even dear old dad.

Sally: You underestimate me.

Adam: Do I? And yet, don’t you work for me?

Sally: I work for newman fashion, and a wedding dress is fashion. But tonight is not about victoria or her dress.

Adam: Mm-hmm, yeah, I’m actually happy that she’s not coming, given her distaste for me. I have enough on my plate already, so things will be a little less precarious without her around. Your heart is at the heart of everything you do.

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Nate: Thank you.

Lily: Thank you.

Nate: Mm-hmm.

Lily: I’m so glad you came to this party.

Nate: Well, I am a bit surprised elena and I were invited, given this is a newman media event. I’d be interested to find out how we made the list.

Lily: I don’t think it’s a mystery. I think victor appreciates what you’ve done for the family at the hospital.

Nick: Oh, yeah, everyone’s extremely grateful for what you did for faith after her accident and then the kidney transplant. I’m surprised my dad invited the executives from chanccomm and also the wildly popular host of the askmdnow site.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Nate: Former host. I decided it was time to go now that I am chief of surgery at memorial.

Lily: Yep. Actually, victor unknowingly invited our new star of askmdnow, who had to run out to check on a patient, elena.

Nick: Oh, she is perfect. She will be great at that.

Lily: I know, that’s what i told her.

Nate: Uh-huh, alright. I see, I get it. I’m already yesterday’s news.

Lily: Yeah, of course. I mean, in the media world moves fast. What can I tell you?

Nate: Yeah, well, hopefully, elena makes it back in time to celebrate with us tonight. Thank you, victor, for the champagne.

Lily: Yeah, thank you, newman media.

[ Laughter ]

Adam: I am not the least bit worried about chanccomm or billy. Yeah, he may think he’s a threat, but believe me, I can handle anything he throws my way.

Sally: You know, I have to admit, I am a little bit curious about the ongoing feud between you two.

Adam: Do you really not know?

Sally: Well, I read the hit job that chanccomm did on you, so, yeah, I know a little bit about the death of billy and chloe’s daughter.

Adam: It, um — it was a devastating, horrible accident. And I handled it terribly.

Sally: How are you and chloe even able to be in the same building?

Adam: Well, she’ll never fully trust me, but eventually, she was able to let go of her hatred.

Sally: But billy’s another story.

Adam: He can’T. Even when he acts like he’s alright around me, deep down, he’s still filled with pain and anger. And he always will be.

Sally: Well, I’m sorry — for everyone involved.

Adam: Anyway, maybe I’ll tell you more about it sometime. But that’s a story for another day. Tonight, we are here to have some fun.

Sally: Well, it is a good thing that I excel at having fun.

Victor: You know, I have a feeling that victoria never intended to show up anyway, whether or not ashland felt poorly.

Nikki: You mean because victoria’s upset with you for investigating her fiancé’s past?

Victor: No, because victoria and adam have this contentious relationship. Still do. Tonight would have been an occasion for them to, you know, settle their differences and put down their swords.

Nikki: I understand that you will never stop wanting that, but I’m not altogether sure that adam is interested in making up or that victoria wants to play nice at all, and I can’t blame her, really.

Victor: Yeah, but, sweetheart, you can’t blame em for hoping and trying, okay?

Nikki: Well, at least you can breathe easy that they’re not gonna create any conflict tonight.

Victor: I just have the strange feeling there will be some fireworks tonight. Billy boy abbott would love nothing more than to blow this launch right out of the water. Not touching is still touching protection.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Amanda: Oh, my gosh.

Devon: I have no idea how babies sleep like this, swaddled up so tight, but he loves it. He just —

Amanda: He really is the most beautiful baby.

Devon: I know. I know.

Amanda: But I’m sure that you have a lot of emotions swirling through you right now. Everything that you’ve gone through with mariah and abby and the baby, it must be really overwhelming.

Devon: You know, I’m just happy for abby and chance, and I’m happy that everything turned out the way it was supposed to.

Amanda: Yeah, but it’s okay to admit that it’s a little more complicated than that.

Devon: I mean… we need to get to this party if we’re gonna go.

Amanda: Hey, devon, the party can wait. I admire you trying to make the best of this, but I can tell that something is weighing on you. Will you talk to me about it?

Jack: Well, looks like a very successful launch, victor. Congratulations.

Victor: Thank you, jack.

Jack: And of course, we have something more important to raise a glass to — I am a great-uncle and you are a grandfather again.

Victor: You bet. The birth of abby’s baby is worth celebrating, isn’t it?

Jack: And thank god they found mariah in time.

Nikki: Mm.

Victor: What an ordeal that was. Having said that, I must say, i wish they’d find stitch rayburn and bring him to justice, you know? But I will not let that shadow spoil our party.

Jack: Well, I can’t wait to see newman media’s presentation. I’m sure you and adam have something up your sleeve to wow the media world.

Victor: Oh, you know we do, right? If you’ll excuse me, I have to see something in the ballroom.

Nikki: Alright, darling.

Jack: Well, victor is brimming with his usual confidence.

Nikki: Oh, he’s very proud of his accomplishments. I’m sure it will go very well. That is, if billy doesn’t have anything up his sleeve.

Jack: As far as I know, there is nothing to worry about.

Nikki: As far as you know?

Jack: Here’s hoping it’s a perfectly uneventful event.

Adam: Chloe said she can’t make it. Miles came down with a light fever, and she can’t leave him.

Sally: Aww, well, I hope he feels better.

[ Sighs ] Okay, well, it’s a shame that chloe’s gonna miss this incredible party, but I will schmooze enough for the both of us, on behalf of the company. And maybe try some appetizers. Do you want anything?

Adam: You know, I’m good right now. Thank you.

Sally: Okay, well, I’m gonna try them all, and then I’ll report back which ones are the best.

Adam: Looking forward to it.

Sally: I’m really liking this job so far.

Billy: Well…

[ Clears throat ] Thanks for the invite.

Adam: Yeah.

Billy: It was a benevolent gesture.

Adam: Well, what can I say, billy, I’m a very generous guy.

Billy: Are you?

Adam: Why else would I invite you?

Billy: I’m not actually sure yet, but I am interested to find out what you got up your sleeve.

Adam: Well, you’re gonna have to wait, like everyone else.

Billy: Well, that’s good. I’m a patient man.

Adam: Hmm. I know that you would love to undermine the launch and steal my thunder somehow, but that’s not gonna happen. So I have a headline for you — “newman media launch sets records and leaves chanccomm in the dust.”

Billy: I hope someone else is writing your headlines because i would throw that one in the wood chipper.

Adam: [ Laughs ]

Billy: Look, just so you know, we’re not gonna let our guard down.

Adam: I mean, we called a truce, right? So this is just straight-up fair competition. May the best man win.

Billy: Yeah, adam, look, if i actually believed that you were gonna honor that truce, that would be one thing, but I know for a fact that your dad is gonna come after us with some sort of underhanded attack because that’s really the only way newman media — a start-up like newman media — could do any damage to chanccomm.

Adam: A start-up? Hmm, I mean, you must’ve forgotten that newman media did start as cyaxares and it has all its history and strength intact.

Billy: Yeah, cyaxares was built by ashland locke, who, i have to admit, is a legend, and unfortunately, you’re never gonna be able to live up to that standard. Which is not good for newman media, unless, of course, you have papa bear run the show from behind the scenes. Then, you know, maybe there’s a chance, but we know how that goes. Damned if you do, damned if you don’T.

Adam: I think that’s called projecting your own insecurities.

Billy: Hmm.

Adam: And if we did make a run for chanccomm, you would never see it coming. But help yourself to some champagne, alright?

Lily: I could see the gauntlet being thrown from over there. What’s the score now?

Billy: I would say it’s a tie game.

Adam: Jack. Hey, I, uh — I just wanted to thank you for the gracious congratulations earlier.

Jack: My congratulations were sincere. I’m genuinely impressed with everything you’ve accomplished, not just with this venture, but with your personal turnaround. I can’t help but question your choice of a date for the evening.

Adam: You’re not the only one that’s wondering about that.

Billy: I still can’t get a read on adam. I don’t know if he’s playing it straight or if he’s still planning to come after chanccomm.

Lily: Well, maybe his plan is to keep you guessing.

Billy: Hmm. He’s accomplished that.

Lily: Look, just hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Billy: Yeah. Whatever adam has planned, that’s a whole other thing. Victor is not gonna give up an opportunity to put me in my place.

Lily: Look, I think it’s a good thing that maybe father and son aren’t on the same page. Cause some friction at newman media, give us an edge.

Billy: Look at you, always looking for the strategy, right? Yeah, I would love to know the details. I would love to know what they’re coming to market with.

Lily: Well, we can wait for the speeches to know what they’re gonna come to market with, so…

Billy: Yeah, that’s not as much fun, is it?

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: You know what? I’m gonna snoop around a little bit. Find out what shiny new toy they have coming. Maybe even scoop the story before they’re able to launch.

Lily: Okay, I wouldn’t mind having the edge, too, but what do you plan on doing exactly?

Billy: You leave that to me.

Phyllis: I don’t like the look of that.

Nick: It looks like he’s just getting on an elevator.

Phyllis: He’s not just getting on an elevator, i promise you. He and adam looked like there was something venomous going on.

Nick: How was that different from every other day?

Phyllis: Yeah, I know, except I feel that billy is gonna do something to disrupt this party. It’s gonna make me really upset. Earlier, when I asked why he’s so eager to come to this party, he couldn’t give me a straight answer.

Nick: You know, it’s not often you and my dad are on the same page about anything, but he said the same thing to me and asked me to keep and eye on him, but I really, really don’t think billy’s here to cause trouble.

Phyllis: I’m not too sure. I don’t want adam and billy to get into it. I really don’T.

Nick: I’m not gonna let that happen.

Phyllis: You won’t?

Nick: Nope. I’m here to protect you and your hotel.

Phyllis: Really? You’re my hero. You’re my hero. Oh!

Nick: Yeah, it’s okay.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ] Alright, I’m gonna report to you later.

Nick: Yeah, you are. I’m just gonna go check on billy and just make sure he’s, you know, cool.

Phyllis: Okay.

[ Sighs ] Oh, well, you know, look at you. You’re like a monster from a horror film that shows up when you don’t want it.

Sally: You and nick seemed cozy.

Phyllis: Yeah, we are. Are you disappointed? Because I told you, our relationship was stronger than all of your weak attempts to undermine us.

Sally: What I find interesting is that you were with jack yet again when adam and I walked in. I mean, at some point, nick’s not gonna be able to ignore it either.

Phyllis: You know, you are a sad little girl. You don’t know anything about me or nick or our relationship. You aren’t capable of understanding. You left la. You couldn’t take it. You left there with your tail between your legs, sally. You alienated the only person who cared about you — jack. And then you could’ve learned so much from the genius that is lauren fenmore. She could’ve mentored you, but then you alienated her, didn’t you? I mean, what’s it gonna be now? It’s over for you. Over. Even though you tell yourself, “oh, this time it’s gonna work out,” it’s not. It’s not gonna work out. You’re gonna be alone and lonely and cold and sad. ‘Cause that’s who you are.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Devon: You know, it’s — it’s a weird thing because i know that I’m gonna play an integral part in the baby’s life because abby and chance, they made that clear before he left. And abby continues to reassure me of it. So I don’t really understand why I’m having the feelings I’m having.

Amanda: You have a biological connection to this child. That’s a powerful bond.

Devon: Yeah, it is. And I felt that bond from the first second that I helped bring him into the world. And it’s just knowing that other people are gonna be raising him, it’s harder than I thought it was gonna be.

Amanda: Devon, that is completely understandable.

Devon: And it’s also brought up a lot of memories of things that I’ve talked to you about before. Of hilary and I losing our child. And just, you know, what that baby represented. It represented so much love and possibility. It’s just — it’s one of the most difficult things to explain, that feeling of thinking you’re gonna be a father, and then it just gets taken away from you in an instant. I didn’t mean to be insensitive to you or what happened to your dad.

Amanda: No, no, no, no. It’s okay. This is about you.

Devon: It’S… the feeling that I’m having, it’s not like it’s a loss like when somebody dies, you know? It’s just, um… it’s a — it’s — like, it’s empty. Like an emptiness. And I think that I’m just trying to wrap my head around the fact that I have a son, but I don’t really have a son.

Phyllis: Hey. Oh. What a night.

Nate: Mm.

Phyllis: Where’s your girl?

Nate: Ah, she had to run to the hospital to check on a patient.

Phyllis: Oh, that’s a bummer.

Nate: Yeah, I know. I hope she makes it back soon. She was so disappointed. She was excited about getting dressed up for this event, you know? Beautiful, glamorous event.

Phyllis: Wow, you need to up your game in taking your girl on dates.

Nate: You know what? You’re right. We shouldn’t just settle for renting rooms here, like we have on several occasions.

Phyllis: Okay, well, you should double down. Just give me a call to set something up for you. I mean, like rose petals on the bed, maybe champagne, little chocolate, deejay in the room.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] Okay, I’ll keep that in mind.

Phyllis: Alright. So, what are you and elena into?

Nate: Excuse me?

Phyllis: What are you into? What are you into? What do you like? Like, nick and I, we like video games.

Nate: Oh, okay. Um…elena and I connected over being doctors, you know, working at the clinic together.

Phyllis: Okay, sterile. In a life-saving kind of way.

Nate: Okay, well, we work long hours. We don’t have much time for anything else.

Phyllis: Alright, so if i were to set up a black-tie event for you two, and I filled the room with medical textbooks, that’d kind of do it for you guys, right?

Nate: Okay, when you — when you put it that way, we do sound dull.

[ Laughs ]

Phyllis: Playing doctor’s kind of fun, I don’t know.

Nate: I suppose.

[ Both laugh ] Like you and nick playing hotelier and philanthropist.

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah, we’ve done that. It was a good time. Okay, I’m gonna set something up, and you’re gonna love it. Trust me.

Adam: I promise I was not trying to send any message by coming here with sally. Trust me, I have heard enough to know why she would not be on your top 10 list of favorite people, but there’s no hidden agenda. We’re not dating, we just struck up a casual friendship since we work together.

Jack: I’m not prying. I’m certainly not judging.

Adam: Well, you might be the only one.

Jack: Yeah, sally and I had our moment of connection, but that’s over, and I don’t hold any grudges against her. Who knows? Maybe your mission to be the best person you can be will rub off on her. I wasn’t able to bring out the potential I saw in her. Maybe you can.

Adam: Jack, I’m not planning to be anyone’s redemption story. Right now, I’m focused on work and trying to make newman media the one and only communication company in genoa city that — that matters.

Billy: Oh, no, no. Ah! Mm, I’m sorry. Yeah, I, uh — mr. Newman asked me to come and get something for him so he can prepare for his presentation, and I just realized I forgot my key. Do you mind letting me back in? This is their green room, right?

I’m sorry, but I’m not allowed to let anyone in without mr. Newman’s permission.

Billy: Yeah, right. Hotel policy.

My boss is a stickler when it comes to those kinds of things.

Billy: Phyllis, yeah, she is, isn’t she? Yeah, phyllis and I go way back. I promise you, she wouldn’t mind at all.

Uh…

Billy: Look, I don’t know how else to say this, but time is of the essence. The newmans really want to make sure that this launch goes off without a hitch, and the longer I’m up here not getting mr. Newman what he needs, you know what I mean? So if you want to go down there and interrupt a very important conversation to ask if this is okay, you go right ahead, but I’m gonna wait here, if you know what I mean. Come on.

Don’t tell ms. Summers.

Billy: Absolutely not. Thank you. Appreciate it. Okay. Let’s see what you got.

Nick: What are you doing, billy? Do lotion and jeans go together?

Amanda: I can only imagine what you’re feeling right now.

Devon: Well, listen, I also don’t want it to sound like i regret stepping up for abby and chance, because I don’T. You know, I knew what I was getting myself into, and I was happy to do it. And we had an agreement. Even saying the words “my son” doesn’t feel right. Doesn’t feel right ’cause I know that dominic is abby and chance’s baby.

Amanda: Yes, he is. But you have a biological connection to him. And it’s okay to acknowledge, even if it’s just with me, that he is your son. I kind of think that that’s why you feel guilty. You know, you have an instinct to want to stay by dominic’s side, but you have to keep your distance and…

Devon: Yeah, no, that’s — that’s exactly what it is. I appreciate you understanding me.

Amanda: You know, maybe you can concentrate on the things that you have given dominic. You know, first of all, the little guy wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you. And secondly, I mean, the way that you, abby, mariah, and chance have gone into this from the beginning, with such openness and inclusivity, that in itself, devon, that is a gift. Dominic will never grow up wondering who his family is or where they are. You know, when I was growing up, I didn’t have anyone around me that I could look at and say, “wow, we have the same eyes.”

Devon: Well, now you do.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, now I do. And that’s pretty incredible.

Devon: Listen, I know that I’m gonna be able to see him whenever I want. I’m gonna be able to watch that little boy grow up. I’m just having a hard time, um, defining the role that I’m gonna have in his life. ‘Cause, like, if I’m not — if I’m not like his dad, what am I? Just devon.

Amanda: You’ll figure it out along the way.

Devon: Yeah. No, you’re right. He just got here, after all.

Amanda: Mm-hmm.

Devon: You know, he has his whole life ahead of him. And I do know that, no matter what, I’m gonna be there for him.

Amanda: Yeah, you will be. And I’ll be here for you.

Billy: [ Clears throat ]

Nick: Ooh, I just can’t wait to hear the excuse you give for being up here.

Billy: It’s not what it looks like. It’s exactly what it looks like, nick, I’m spying on the competition. At least I was, until you showed up.

Nick: You’ve been a very busy boy. Digging around in ashland’s past, doing everything you can to undermine my father and adam’s new company.

Billy: Well, you shouldn’t be upset about the latter. You despise adam just as much as I do.

Nick: He saved my daughter’s life. I’m willing to give him a second chance.

Billy: That is unfortunate.

Nick: Plus, I have a vested interest in newman media being successful. They’re a major sponsor of new hope, and this night means a lot to my father. So I’m only gonna ask you one time nicely — stop whatever you’re planning and walk away.

Jack: Where’d my brother run off to?

Lily: Oh, I’m — I’m sure he hasn’t gone far, but sit, please. Tell me about milan and how’s summer and kyle.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Sally: Well, excitement is buzzing through the ballroom. Anticipation is building. Victor must be pleased.

Nikki: He is, although i don’t know that I need your take on the evening.

Sally: Oh, I just —

Nikki: After our last conversation, I don’t understand why you think I would be interested in anything you have to say. So I’ll be clear now. Despite my long-standing differences with phyllis, I do wish she had been able to drive you out of town after what you did to summer. And I’ll tell you, no one in this room wants you here, with the exception of adam, who i suspect is using you as a prop. See, he is savvy enough to know that you’re nothing but trouble, and I highly doubt that he takes you seriously in any way. It was lovely talking to you.

Phyllis: Wow, nikki, she doesn’t mince words, does she?

Sally: Yeah, neither do I. Stick around, you’re gonna hear plenty.

Phyllis: I bet you regret coming, don’t you?

Sally: Not at all. Actually, I’m very pleased to be here representing the company that I work for. And I have a handsome date.

Phyllis: Who, adam? Oh, gosh, sally. Adam, he has an agenda. Seriously, he will tire of you and then he will kick you to the curb.

Sally: Is that what happened to you?

Phyllis: Hardly. And by the way, hey, let’s get this straight right now. You are not me.

Sally: Yeah, thank god for that.

Phyllis: I am a respected businesswoman in this town, and you are the town pariah. That’s what you are. You have no self-awareness. What is it gonna take for you to realize that you are not welcome here?

Sally: A lot more than a few insults from you.

Phyllis: Yeah, but, see, it’s not just me. It’s nikki. It’s jack, kyle. Listen, the newmans and the abbotts don’t want you here. Go home! Leave! Take your circus act somewhere else.

Sally: Go to hell, bitch.

Phyllis: [ Gasps ]

Sally: [ Screams ]

[ Gasps ]

Adam: Hey, hey, hey, don’t do this, don’t do this, okay?

Sally: Phyllis started it.

Phyllis: And I will end it, I swear. Get out of here!

Adam: Sally, come with me, alright? Don’t let her bait you.

Jack: Not a good idea.

Phyllis: I know.

Jack: Don’t do it.

Phyllis: I’m not going to. I’m done.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

Phyllis: Oh, god.

Jack: Here.

Nick: Look, I don’t know what went on down here, but there’s no more james bond stuff, right?

Billy: We’ll see. What is going on? Why does sally look like she jumped in the pool with her clothes on?

Lily: Oh, it wasn’t a pool, it was an ice bucket.

Billy: And the perpetrator?

Lily: Oh, who do you think? Of course. Oh, my god.

Billy: Phyllis?

Lily: Yes.

Billy: At a party that she threw? And she’s the one telling me not to ruin the night.

Lily: Oh, speaking of which, how did your hunting expedition go?

Billy: It was okay. I had to stop it. I was this close to finding the ammunition that I needed, and nick ran in with his superhero tights on and stopped me, so that’s it.

Lily: Or so you led him to believe? Is that really the end of it?

Phyllis: Oh! I let sally get to me. I shouldn’t have done that.

Jack: Well, she has a talent for that.

Phyllis: You know, I’ve had a drink thrown in my face before. You’d think I could handle it, right?

Jack: Oh, I think you handled it.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ]

Nick: Seems like a lot of excitement. What’d I miss?

Sally: Thank you.

Adam: Let me get you a towel.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

Adam: Here. You okay?

Sally: No, I’m not okay. I was having a really nice night until I was attacked by that low-class, spiteful, tacky, hypocritical bully. She kept coming at me. What was I supposed to do?

Adam: Seemed like a proportional response to me. You know, that is really gonna be a tough act to follow when i got to make to make the announcement. Maybe I should do my speech naked.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Well, that would certainly get my attention. I’m really sorry for ruining your event.

Adam: Look, nothing is ruined. Alright, if anything, the party needed to be livened up a little bit. And I like your fire.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

okay, n’neka, I just got confirmation that the party is on their way. I can’t believe three guys booked the place for the whole night. Well, believe it, and let’s just make sure that the drinks are filled and everyone’s having a good time. Absolutely, boss. Alright. Hey, curtis. Hey. I have some news on drew’s plane crash. Okay. You know what? Let’s talk about this somewhere else. No, w-wait. We don’t have to go anywhere. It’s not gonna take long.

I don’t, but you might want to. Hey, hey, hey. Hey. I didn’t think you were working tonight. I’m not. I am on my way to carly’s bachelorette party. Oh. Bobbie asked me to help her set it up. I got a surprise [Laughs] That’s gonna blow carly’s mind.

[ Laughs ] So, you seeing sam tonight?

[ Chuckles ] Sure, boss. Don’t worry. I’ll do what you pay me for. Don’t I always? Sasha: Willow. Hi. Hi. I’m so glad to see you. I wasn’t sure you were gonna be here between nursing school and wiley and everything else you’ve got going on. When olivia invited me, I decided to treat myself to a break. Good for you. And I don’t know if anyone told you, but there is definitely good news. Chase can walk again. That’s fantastic. It is. I am so happy for him. Is something else going on? Chase learned that michael and I are together before we could tell him ourselves.

[ Sighs ] I’m so sorry. Me too. I put off telling him, and in the end, I only hurt chase worse. Hey, it was an impossible situation. You did the best you could. And if chase doesn’t realize that now, I am sure that he will eventually. In the meantime, please tell me that you and michael are happy. We are. Very happy.

[ Chuckles ] What about you and the baby? The baby is fine. And the mommy? I would feel better if I knew for certain that brando isn’t working for the mob again. Bobbie: Hey, willow. Hi. Okay, so, olivia just texted, and my mom’s on her way. So, everybody, get ready. Great. All: Surprise!

[ Laughter ] Okay, look, let’s go. Okay? Wait, wait, wait a minute. What’s this about? Why am I suddenly not welcome here? I’ll explain it all to you later, but right now, I got to get you out of here. I know he doesn’t want a bachelor party, but for once, he’s not getting his way, okay? A proper send-off is in order, and a proper send-off he shall have. Michael: That’s what my dad would have wanted for him. You are 100% correct.

[ Chuckles ] Greetings and felicitations, fair samantha. If you don’t mind me asking, what are you doing here? Why? Am I not supposed to be here? And this is why I wanted you out of here. Hey, look, just one drink, a couple of toasts, and then we’re gone. Right, spinelli? Maybe two drinks.

[ Sighs ] Okay, yes. One is perfectly acceptable. Just the point is to celebrate the impending nuptials. This is lovely, mike. Like a sidewalk café. We could be in paris instead of nixon falls. Yeah, that was my idea. My official date — my first one with nina. Well, how’d it go? Well, it was great. You know, it was great until we ran into a roadblock. And I don’t really think there’s any way around it. What could you possibly have to say to me about nina? Well, it’s about my visit to her in nixon falls. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I heard the highlights. You — you played the hero, stopped two robbers, got shot in the process. Well, I stopped one of the robbers, and her new boyfriend stopped the other. Yeah. The mysterious new boyfriend. The man who replaced you in nina’s heart. What do you know about him?

, as I said, libationsare most certainly in order. Shall we continue on to the bar? Hey. May I speak to the man of the hour, please? Uh… can you just order me a beer, spinelli? Yeah, coming right up. Come on. So, tomorrow’s the big day. Yeah, it is. Well, I’m sure the wedding will be everything you and carly want. Well, you know, maxie, she’s working hard on it. I’m sure she is. Well, I, um — I wish you and carly the best. Thank you. I wish the same for you. Sam? Yeah. You okay? Yeah. Yeah, I’m gonna be fine. I’ve had a lot of time to process the fact that jason and carly are getting married. She was always really important to him. So was sonny. And, you know, most of the time, he chose her first. Now he doesn’t have to choose anymore. Spinelli: Apologies. It didn’t occur to me that fair samantha might be here. Spinelli, it’s fine. Still, it was pretty awkward. And I mean, you didn’t even want a bachelor party in the first place. You know what? Actually, uh… I was wrong. You know, carly and i are getting married tomorrow, and that deserves to be celebrated. Oh, my god. How did I not know you were planning this? You guys, we surprised carly corinthos. Give yourselves a pat on the back. Okay, olivia told me that the pool was reserved for a sweet 16 birthday party. Well, we didn’t want you to know what we were up to, and we needed an excuse to show you how much we love you. Aww. And how happy we are that you’re marrying jason. Yes. Okay. So, there’s no imaginary sweet 16 party that I have to take care of… no. …Or solve problems or something? No! All you need to do is relax and enjoy yourself. Well, with my favorite people here, how could I not? Mm-hmm.

[ Laughs ] Here you go. Okay. You guys, this is so lovely. And exciting. This is your last night before your wedding day. Yeah. I’m starting to feel like a real bride. [ Chuckles ] Why would you say that? Of course you’re a real bride.

[ Sighs ] Nina says she doesn’t want to get closer to me until I find out who I am, ’cause she says that when I find out who I am, I’m not gonna want to see her anymore. What do I do with that? Mike, your feelings for nina are real. Well, that has to count for something.

[ Door opens ] Hi, phyllis. How are you? Oh, wait. That — that’s a really dumb question. I’m sorry. Forget I said that. I’ll always be grieving for lenny, but I know he wouldn’t want my life to stop. He’d want me to live it to the fullest, to find joy where I can. And since he’s not here to ask you, I’ll ask you for him. Why can’t the two of you simply live in the moment? Please tell me everything you know about nina’s new boyfriend in nixon falls. Jealousy doesn’t become you, jax. Ohh. And I’m certainly not going to confide in the man who conspired to keep from nina the death of her daughter, a daughter she didn’t even know she had until after nelle was dead! You can’t imagine how sorry I am for my actions, but believe me or not, I am trying to help nina now. Just go, jax. We’re done here. Josslyn: Given your relationship with sonny,

you probably never tried his marinara,

but you have to believe me when I tell you

this tastes exactly like sonny’s sauce.

Okay.

Where’d you get it? Trina picked it up at some bar in nixon falls.

Really?

Well, what was

the name of the bar? You know what? You’re right. I’m being ridiculous.

No, no,

I didn’t say that.

No, it has to

be a coincidence. I mean, this can’t be

sonny’s sauce.

It’s crazy, right? No, ava, I’m not leaving here until you give me some answers. Ma, how many times I got to tell you, my personal life is — well, it’s just that — it’s personal. That’s hard for you to understand, I know. So you are seeing sam. Mm-hmm. That’s great. I think it’s great. Well, great. I’m glad you think it’s great. We’re meeting here to investigate something, if you got to know. Mm-hmm. Right. Mm-hmm. Ma, stop. Okay. Look, I’ll leave you to it. I got to go take ce of carly’s party, make sure everything’s right, especially the entertainment. It’s gonna be such a surprise.

[ Laughing ] Oh. Oh.

[ Laughs ] Dante. Yeah. How’s it going? Brando, hey. Yeah, it’s going good, man. No complaints. Alright. By the way, congratulations. You’re about to become a father, right? Yeah. Thank you, thank you. Yeah. You got any tips? Yeah. Don’t mess it up.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. I think you just do the best you can, man. Trust your instincts. I met rocco a few times when sonny was still with us. He seems like a great kid. Thanks. Yeah, he’s a great kid. He’s psyched to have a cousin on the way, that’s for sure. I just know sonny, he would have loved to be here to see you become a father. Dante, hi. Hey. Brando, what are you doing here? I got to take this, but, hey, congratulations, you guys. Thank you. I’m on a job. One of those side gigs you mentioned? One of them. Care to tell me which one?

I am working to make sureour baby has everything he or she needs, and then some, once it’s born. Just promise me that whatever you’re doing, it’s not mob-related. Trust me, okay? What are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be at carly’s bachelorette party. I am. Just taking a break to powder my nose. Uh, carly’s party’s here? Yeah. Out by the pool. Call me later, okay? Mm-hmm. After your mysterious side gig. Dante. I have a problem. I found some information on drew’s plane crash that I think you’ll find interesting. Okay, well, information is only as good as the source. Okay, well, dante and i were able to get a hold of the wsb files on drew’s plane crash. And? And it was a charter flight, not a private rental. And there was another passenger on board. It’s just the name wasn’t listed. It was paid for by a company called lethe unlimited. Why does that name sound familiar? Because it was a parent company for a clinic in scarsdale called crichton-clark. Why does — I know that name from somewhere. It burned down before you got to port charles, but drew was held captive there, nina was a patient, along with a lot of other people. That’s it. Now I know where I know that name from. From when I was searching for nina’s daughter. Okay, well, do you think you know anybody that worked at crichton-clark? Actually, I just might. I’m so glad to be out socializing. It is a welcome break from heartache. Ellie is adamant that our parting be permanent. So please tell me that you are luckier than I am in the romance department. You know, I hate to break it to you, spinelli, but, yeah, I can say I’m luckier than you. Okay. Yeah, willow and i are together, and we couldn’t be happier. Well, I’ll drink to that.

[ Chuckles ] Talk to me, willow. Chase moved out. There’s obviously huge changes in your relationship with michael. Brook lynn implied that there was some — some big developments, but she wouldn’t go into any detail, so I thought I’d come to the source. What’s going on? It’s really complicated, and I definitely could have handled things better. But let’s talk in the next day or two, after carly’s party. You got it, kiddo. But just — just so I’m clear, you and michael are a couple? We are. Oh. You know what? I — chase is a great guy, and I’m really sorry that things didn’t work out there. But — but honestly, between you and me, I’ve always felt in my heart that you and michael belong together. We agree. It just took us a while to figure it out. Well, you look happy, so I’m happy for you.

[ Both chuckle ] I can’t wait to marry jason. It’s just been a whirlwind trying to get everything ready. Is that all it is? Well, mom’s just been really busy. I mean, yes, maxie’s planning the wedding, but there’s still a million details to sort out and decisions to make. She’s helping me get set up for pcu. Her and my dad, there’s tension there. You and jax are having issues? Really? You said we were supposed to have fun. Why did you bring that up? I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I should have kept my mouth shut. You know, mom and dad fight all the time, and they work it out. They always do. Mm-hmm. Look, I still care about nina. Knowing that I hurt her was bad enough. I just don’t want to see her get hurt again. What is it you want to know? Well, when was the last time you spoke with her? I don’t hear from her all that often. Just a text here and there about how happy she is. With her new boyfriend? She doesn’t really say very much. The last time nina and i had a heart-to-heart, she was pretty evasive about him. Phyllis: Right before his diagnosis, lenny decided to live in the moment. He was gonna take me dancing. I was on my way to buy a new dress when dr. Ford showed up, and our lives changed. You know what, phyllis, I’m gonna do everything I can to honor… …lenny’s memory. I know you will, mike. And I hope you’ll try to do that, too. So… where were you? I was trying to reach you, but — I’m sorry that I just — I ran out on you like that last night. We’re supposed to be living in the present. Yeah, well, you are, but I’m still struggling. When I saw your watch last night, a piece of your past, it made me stop… …and think, for once — think. Did you come to any conclusions? Do I have to find out who I am in order for you to move forward with me?

[ Laughs ] What can I say? I was motivated. Besides, what’s the point of renovating the whole pool if you’re not gonna use it? And honestly, I really wanted to wish you happy. Honey, no one deserves it more than you. That’s sweet.

[ Chuckles ] I’m not sweet. Neither are you. We tell it like it is. That’s the first thing I liked about you. Well, since we’re telling it like it is… mm-hmm. …I thought you’d think it was too soon after sonny. Oh. You know, maybe if it was anybody else, I would think that you were acting out of grief or you were afraid to be alone, and then I would have been wrestling with myself, “should I say something or keep my big mouth shut?” But — but jason, you’ve known him forever. You know what you’re getting. Also, you’re getting the quartermaines as in-laws, so, uh…

[ Laughs ] Oh, god. …Good luck with that. Hey, they’re your in-laws, too.

[ Laughs ] Yes. We’ll be allies. Always. Sasha, everything okay? I ran into brando in the restaurant. He is on a job. Wouldn’t tell me what it is. And you really think brando’s working for the mob again? Carly: What? He’s not. Brando made it very clear that he is done. But there was a part of brando that liked the excitement of working undercover for sonny. What if he is revisiting that part of his life, getting in deep again under the guise of wanting to support me and the baby? You’re kidding, right? No, I wish I were, man.

[ Laughs ] Got any advice?

[ Clears throat ] I’m sorry. Um… you got to bite the bullet. Do what you were hired to do. Make that money. Pay for that baby, man.

[ Sighs ] Can you just arrest me instead? Not unless you break the law.

[ Sighs ] Hey, n’neka, I got some business to take care of. You okay by yourself? It’s all good. Okay. Look, I know that you and my mom never expected to get to this place, but now that you’re here, I know that you’ll be good for each other. Perhaps it’s fate. Destiny. And if it is, how wonderful that it’s carly.

[ Footsteps approach ] Incoming. We found it. Here’s the groom. And a bachelor party that is crying out for some action. I told brando that if he wanted to be part of my life and the baby’s, he couldn’t work for you and jason anymore. He’s not. I heard you and brando at his garage the other night. He was promising to let your business associates know that he was open for business, and you thanked him for helping you. Brando offered to listen, that’s all. He’s not gonna put himself in danger. Well, what if the danger shows up anyway? What if brando just can’t say no? Brando is crazy about you and the baby. You have to trust him. I mean, how else will you have a family if you don’t? I just got a text. The entertainment is here! Oh, god. Hey, owen! Cut the lights!

[ Light switches click ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Chuckling ] Oh, no! -Oh, my god. -[ Laughs ] Oh!

who might be able to give us a little bit morhe and drewwere such good friends. I’m sorry I’m late. I filled curtis in on the information we got on drew’s plane crash, and I figured he’d want to know since he and drew were such good friends. Anyway, I mentioned crichton-clark to him, and he said the name sounded familiar, and it turns out that he knew someone who worked there who might be able to give us a little bit more information on what went down at the clinic. That’s good. It’s great. Dante… you haven’t been listening to a word that I’ve said. I have, I have. I heard everything. No, no, you haven’T. I’m sorry. I’m just a little distracted by a story I heard. No kidding. About what? About what’s going on at the metro court pool right now at carly’s bachelorette party.

Nothing wrong with just a little fun

[ Cheering ]

And I know the deejay’s bobbie: Go get ’em, tiger!

when the party is finally over -whoo-hoo-hoo! -[ Laughs ] Josslyn: Don’t get too close.

[ Laughter ] This is a private party, sir. I’m afraid you and your friends need to come back another night. Aw, come on. There’s plenty of room for us. We promise not to disturb the private party. I’ll take care of this. Just like you took care of me? Strong-arming my uncle into sending me out of the country? A round of top-shelf whiskey for the room. I want to toast the groom since I won’t be at his wedding tomorrow. I’ll be in…siberia. Hey, joey, aren’t you going to poland? To the lucky groom and his gorgeous bride, carly, who is as hot as they come. Okay, that’s enough. You agree with me, right? Carly corinthos is quite the babe. Stop this vulgarity at once!

[ Laughs ] We were just on our way out. We were? Mr. Novak and his friends hereare gonna drink on me.

[ Sighs ] Let’s go. Hey, morgan, how’s it feel to be hitting your dead boss’s wife? Feel good? Like you won a stuffed toy at the fair? You cretin!

[ Punch lands ]

[ Cheers and applause ] I honestly had no idea I was performing for carly. My boss only told me to show up at the metro court pool. Well, I’m the one that called the agency, ordered a stripper. I had no idea it was you who was gonna come and entertain us. How badly did you want to die when you saw all of us? I was hoping the ground would swallow me up.

[ Laughter ] Bobbie: But we’re glad it didn’t ’cause you were really good. I’ll second that. I’m sure you need a drink after your performance. We both do. Well, here you go. You deserve it. Hey. Hey. Are you okay? Sure. Why wouldn’t I be? Who knew brando was so gifted, huh? Well, you know, I’m not urging any scandalous behavior at a party where your daughter is present, but I thought you might just want to relax and cut loose a little, considering you are marrying your best friend. That’s true. I am. So what’s the problem, honey? Mike, you’ll never really… you’ll never really know how much I want you in my life. But it doesn’t seem right that you cannot remember who you were before. You have flashes of that other woman, and you know she means something to you. I don’t even know if that woman is real. But you won’t know until you learn who you really are. I’m mike. That’s who I am. I’m the guy who cares about you. I get that you, you know, you don’t want my past life crashing down on you. You don’t want to be hurt again. That’s why you came to nixon falls — to let go of your past. So you understand? Well, yeah. And I’m gonna do everything I can to prove to you that I do. I don’t know how I’m gonna do it. But I will. Because I’m in — I’m in love with you. Nina probably wants to keep the new part of her life separate from the old one. Does it really surprise you that she might want to make a fresh start with mike? Mike? Does he have a last name? Well, I’m sure he does, jax. I don’t know what it is. And you didn’t ask? Nina has made an art out of skillfully avoiding my questions about him. Now, here you are, interrogating me about a man neither of us has ever met. Do you want to tell me what this is really about?

ms. Caulfield, my name is curtis ashford. I’m not sure if you remember me. Of course I remember you, mr. Ashford. You’re the private investigator who tracked me down and put me back in touch with nina reeves. How can I help you? Um, well, I’m not a private investigator anymore, but I’m looking into something for a friend. It involves the facility where you worked when you were nina’s nurse. Oh, crichton-clark?

That’s the one. By any chance, are you still in touch with anyone who worked with you there? I wasn’t there that long. Besides, I was a private nurse, so I didn’t really know any of the other staff. Okay, well, maybe you can think on it and give me a call?

Wait. There is someone. He friended me on social media a while back. Olivia hires a random stripper from some agency that happens to be brando? That is priceless. Come on, the guy’s just making some extra money for his baby. No, no, I’m not laughing at him. I think he should be proud. I think there’s something really charming about a guy who’s willing to do whatever it takes to provide for his child. I mean, you would, wouldn’t you? Well, thankfully, I have a job where I get to keep my clothes on…

[ Groans ] …And provide for my kid just fine. That is too bad. Too bad? Mm-hmm.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Groans ]

[ Sighs ] Damn it. Mm-hmm. Work. I got to go to work. Mm-hmm. Hmm. I, uh… I hope to see you again soon, sam. You can count on it. I’m worried about nina. That’s all. And I know that you tried to steer her in the right direction when it came to dealing with carly, so… I did. I did try. But apparently, nina did not take my advice about making nice with carly. Apparently, she did the opposite. What do you mean? Well, something happened some time ago. I was mad, and I told carly that as a grandparent in the state of new york, nina has the right to sue for visitation with wiley. And then I guess, shortly after that, nina called carly, and carly was all fired up and went for the jugular. That’s what nina told you? Words to that effect. Everybody knows that nina was wrong to tell wiley about nelle. She knows it. She regrets what she did. But carly is carly. She rarely gives anybody a second chance. Believe me, I know. I guess I threw you a curveball. I’m sorry. Just — it’s the way I feel. You know, I-I really couldn’t go another minute without telling you. I don’t know what to say. You don’t have to say anything. Now you see why I was being mysterious about my new job? Yeah, I didn’t think you’d be a fan of my dancing. But no worries, it’s just one of my side gigs. Oh, what are the others? Centerfold modeling? Escort service? Ha ha ha. Try cleaning the deep fryer at kelly’s and after-hours custodial work at a bunch of offices downtown. Um, I’m sorry if I embarrassed you tonight. Bet the money’s good. Oh, it’s really good. But if you don’t like it, I will — I will quit right now, because what you and I have is a hell of a lot more worth it than this performance tonight. I hate myself for enjoying brando’s performance so much.

[ Chuckles ] You and me both.

[ Laughs ] Honey, honey, when I was your age, it was considered empowering for women to go to a strip joint. It was like women could enjoy a good striptease just as much as the men did, you know? I can only imagine the men back then — the hair. Oh, the fake tans, the screaming women. It was — well, it sounds like you did a lot of clubbing, olivia. Bite your tongue, honey. I was a very good catholic girl. Mm. The only thing that I knew about strip joints and what went on inside of them was — was what I read about.

[ Laughter ] Okay. You know, when I think back to you and jason when michael was just a baby, it was just the two of you. I used to get so worried and frustrated with you at times, I wanted to tear my hair out.

[ Both laugh ] Can’t say I blame you. Jason was always there for you. He always believed the best in you. And to be fair, no matter how much the rest of us doubted you, you justified that faith. And now, after all these years, you and jason are getting married.

[ Chuckles ] And tomorrow, you’re gonna step into your new life as husband and wife. Honey, that is the sweetest kind of love there is. Thank you, mom.

I am calling my boss right nowand telling him this was my last gig as a stripper. Don’t you dare. Compared to working for cyrus renault, this is the safest job in the world. Oh. So, um, you’re okay with women stuffing bills into my costume?

[ Chuckles ] They can stuff as many bills as they want, as long as you always come home to me. Who was your friend, and what did he do at the clinic? He worked in the records department. Would he be able to help you? He just might. Um, text me his contact information and tell him to expect my call. Of course. If your friend can help, ms. Caulfield, this could be a very big deal. Michael: Here. You did most of the heavy lifting — or, should I say, heavy punching. Party’s over. Let’s go. Come on. If that’s not enough to cover everything, just let me know. I’m sorry this happened on your watch.

I’m sorry. Once the fight started, I had to follow the rules. Uh, what rules? I got called about a disturbance. What the hell happened here? I was raising a toast to my pal jason, and this little dweeb went off on me. Oh, come on. You deliberately baited him. You denigrated the bride-to-be. I did nothing of the kind. I was complimenting her. Alright. Alright. Alright! Shut up! I’m just gonna take you all down to the station. Actually, we have a wedding to attend tomorrow. Oh, well, then maybe you’ll think more clearly in the morning. There was a time when all I wanted was to marry jason. I lied and schemed. Left a trail of wreckage. And now, years after I have more than let that fantasy go, it’s really happening. It’S…

[ Sighs ] Yeah. Well, you know, you and jason have something magical. And jason would do anything for you. And I don’t know why that is. I never have. I just know that jason has always been there for me. And even when he thinks I’m wrong, he’s there. Loving you as you deserve to be loved. I’m a lucky woman. You’re a lucky bride.

[ Both laugh ] You don’t have to pretend you have feelings for me if you don’t have them. I mean, maybe you will one day, maybe you won’t, but I… it just feels good for me to tell you how I feel. So I’m gonna leave you with that, okay? Okay. I guess nina and carly have been able to smooth things over since nina has been able to see wiley again. But I get the sense that it is a fragile peace, which is another argument for nina to stay in nixon falls. She’s much less likely to cross paths with carly there. Yeah, it certainly seems that way. Well, thanks, ava, for taking the time to talk to me. Appreciate it. So, what are you gonna do? Well, what can I do except to try to make sure that nina is happy and safe? Get the jet ready. We’re going to nixon falls, pennsylvania.
