VICTOR: Would you care for a drink? Oh, somehow this doesn’t seem like a social call, but seeing the look on your face, you better make it a double. Thank you. All right. To your health, old boy. And to yours. And no one else getting shot here anytime soon. Be honest, how’s the healing going? Well, whenever I move or sit, I feel it. Sounds like you’re on your way. Oh, and if this meeting is about, uh, further moves on Jabot and Jack, I’ve got nothing new to report. Oh, it’s not about that. Are our men still in place? Oh, if by men you mean the spies we embedded in the company in order to get intel on any and all new products? Yeah. Then the answer to that is yes. Uh, they will need a few more days to generate a report. Good. That’s it? You have no demands, no complaining that you wanted it yesterday? It’s not what this meeting is about. Then what is it about? Something is going on at Winters. I’m concerned about Lily. And I want to help her. Hello there. Hello. Oh, that’s not necessary. No, good manners are always necessary.

Please.

Okay, thank you. Yes. Sounds like something your mother taught you. No, my father. The one who raised me. Jackson. I appreciate you joining me for dinner. Well, I’m holding up my end of the bargain. [Damian chuckling] You make it sound like we made a business deal. Well, I have learned that most things in life are transactional. Okay, I get something I want. Dinner with you. Yeah, and I get something I want, which is I want to know how things are going with Amy, Nate, and you. Hm. What’s all this? ADAM: This is for you. I hope you’re hungry because you’re about to have the best dinner of your life. Thank you.

Hm.

Oh. Very nice. I opened it earlier to let it breathe. You cooked? I did. I, um… I thought we were going out for dinner. Well, I wanted us to have an intimate meal. You know, if we go to the club or Society, we’d most likely run into someone we know. Right, and then we’d get all the questions, like when I moved in here. Mm-hmm. I know how much you loved that. You’re having dinner together? What does this mean? What’s this all about? Are you getting back together? Yeah, and our answers would be awkward and tentative, and once our inquisitors moved off, we would take the conversation someplace safe. We’d talk about Connor. The weather. Or sports. The Milwaukee Brewers. Well, I don’t think we’d be talking about the Brewers. Are you sure? I mean, it could be their year. You really made dinner? I did. Hm. What? Are you sure you wouldn’t rather go out instead? Oh, I’m positive. I’m glad you’re looking out for Lily. After what happened at Chancellor, It’s the least I can do. Is she in trouble? I don’t know, but it is always my obligation to have her back, okay? Now that her brother is married to my daughter… That makes her family. That’s right. Well, listen, this is a bit off topic, but I’d like some clarity moving forward. Does this distinction extend to her cousin, Nate? I don’t want to continue whatever feud he and I had, so I’m willing to forget our differences. That’s very generous of you. I have to wonder if Lily is as willing to let bygones be bygones. Lily is very angry with us. You and Nikki.

VICTOR: Yep.

That said, I’d like to help smooth things over, so what can we do to help Lily? This has to do with Aristotle Dumas. The reclusive billionaire businessman who lives in D.C.? The very same. You have been curious about that man for years. Yeah. I wonder if he even exists. There are no photos of him, no public appearances. He could be a conglomerate of people operating under the guise of a self-made figurehead. Whoever he is, he has gone to great lengths to remain hidden. And you want to know why? VICTOR: Yeah. And what interest he has in Lily and Devon and Winters. Hm. I hope it wasn’t too presumptuous ordering the wine. Uh, no, you actually made an excellent choice. When I moved to L.A., I took the opportunity to educate myself on a few of California’s vineyards, and the vintage of this particular pinot noir is one of my favorites. I will not be distracted by the fact that you can pick a good pinot. I am here because I want to know how things are going with your mother. How much do you already know? Why don’t you assume I know nothing, and you tell me everything about you? I know your cousin filled you in, at least from his perspective. Yeah, but I want to know your perspective, and you have my full attention. And that’s not something I will ever take for granted. I’m sure Nate told you that I grew up living a lie, and that I cut my mother out of my life after the man I believed was my biological father had passed away. Right, but you didn’t know he wasn’t your biological dad when he died, or that your mother had kept it from you. True. So, maybe you can fill me in on how you cut your own mother out of your life. I mean, it must have been hard for her and for you. If you really want to know, I’ll tell you. I was happy when Lily came to me and asked me for a favor. To find out some information about Damian Kane. Did you turn up anything of interest? What’s interesting is that Damian Kane had a meeting with Nate in Los Angeles, ostensibly to try to get a job at Winters. And you’re thinking Nate had ulterior motives? Well, what I found out later is that Damian Kane had two successful companies, so why the hell would he want a job at Winters? Maybe Winters just was looking to make a deal with the guy. That’s what I thought. But then… now the plot gets a little thicker. I find out that Damian Kane’s companies are really owned by Aristotle Dumas. You must have called in a good many favors to uncover that. I did, I don’t think that either Lily or Devon or Nate know what they’re getting into and who they’re dealing with. So you’re worried this may spell trouble for Winters? You bet. All right, what do you want me to do? I want you to find out everything you can About the relationship between Damian Kane and Aristotle Dumas. Look, I can tell that you’re used to being guarded, so I will just tell you what my motives are. I’d appreciate that. Okay, well, it’s very simple. I love my cousin. I care about him. And I want to protect him. And I know Nate doesn’t show it, but he’s also very guarded as well. And I can tell that it has really affected him finding out that he has a brother at this stage in his life. So, you’re here to advocate for your cousin? Well, and your mom. I mean, if I can help you all heal and come together, I’d like to. And what if I’m just going to cause Nate and my mother just more pain? Well, then I’ll do what I can to protect them from you. Then maybe my going back to California is the best way to protect them and myself. Well, Nate did ask you to stay. He did. Okay, so he must believe that there’s some good that can come from that. And do you share his optimism? I’m more of the pragmatist in the family, but I’m willing to, you know, see how things play out. I believe you. Yeah, I believe that you have good intentions here. So, you’ll answer my questions? Long story short, I broke ties with my mom because I blamed her for my father’s death. And how did he die? Heart disease. Well, Amy couldn’t have caused that. Yeah, well, maybe a part of me believes that the real reason he died was… a broken heart. My mother didn’t seem to care that he was dying. I mean, I kind of find that hard to believe. DAMIAN: Yeah, well, that’s what it felt like to me. It seemed like she just shut down. She stayed away. She… left us to deal with it ourselves. She was hardly around. Well, maybe that was her way of dealing with everything. Yeah, that’s what she said when we spoke earlier. That she was trying to be brave for both of us. Trying to hold things together. That and she had to work two jobs just to pay for his health care, so. Okay, well, I’m sure you can understand that. I suppose I can now, as an adult. But that’s all news to me. At 16, it just felt cold. And since I stopped feeling her love, I… started to hate her. I was full of resentment. And I ran away. But you came back. Yeah, but that resentment, that anger… it took hold of me. And I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to let it go. I have to say, I am a little offended by your suggestion that I would offer you a gastronomic experience that would be anything less than spectacular. I am actually just as curious as I am terrified. Maybe it’ll help if I knew what was on the menu. No, I think I should let the anticipation build a little more. Okay, you can’t blame me for being a little bit nervous. I don’t recall you being very comfortable in the kitchen. Hey, I’ve learned a few things since we were together. Bachelors gotta eat too, you know. Well, you weren’t a bachelor that whole time. You and Sally didn’t cook together? We, uh, were big on takeout. Got to know all the food app drivers by name. We did try breakfast once. Any luck? We tried eggs Benedict and it was an epic failure. And after that, if we stayed in, we did oatmeal. Instant. You know, the one that you boil water? Yeah, Adam, I know what instant oatmeal is. I was just saying– That you were surprised that I know how to boil water? What about when Connor would stay over? Well, he had his pancakes. Right, right. So, we’ll be having oatmeal for dinner. I tried my hand at a new dish. You did? Sorry, that sounded… Concerned? Let me try again. You did? That sounded a little less scared. I mean, come on, I told you that I spent a lot of time in the kitchen with my mom. I do have skills. Okay, all I ask is that you just give it a chance before passing judgment. Okay, well, you’ve put in a lot of effort, so it’s the least I can do. [Chelsea gasping] Pasta! Okay, hard to screw up. Makes a lot of sense, since one of your strongest skills in the kitchen is boiling water. Great! And I’d love to know which jar from the pantry you got the sauce from. The pasta is homemade. And the sauce is made from scratch. [Chelsea laughing] Are you being serious? I grated the cheese and I peeled the garlic myself. You’ve gone to a lot of trouble. Well, you’re worth it. And then some. To you… Chels. And to you, Adam. To us. To finding answers to what comes next. ADAM: Okay. Go ahead. I’m just letting the anticipation build a little bit longer. Okay, okay. You do know you’re my emergency contact if I have to go to the hospital, right? Do you want me to take the first bite? I’m joking, I’m joking. Okay, I’ll try it. Can’t wait. Well? Is it horrible? Chelsea. Say something. It’s amazing. Yeah? You really cooked this? I definitely did. And the mess in the kitchen proves it. You swear you didn’t order this from one of those food delivery apps that brought it in from a Michelin star Italian bistro? Come on, you don’t have to exaggerate to spare my feelings.

Let me try it.

Okay. Wait, that is good. Yeah, but you’re acting just as surprised as I am. Didn’t you try it already? I wanted us to taste it together. So… I’m sensing parmesan, garlic, definitely a cream sauce, but there’s something else in here. Secret ingredient. What is it? It’s a secret. Oh, come on. Everyone knows romance needs a little bit of mystery. I’ll get you to crack over dessert. Oh. Now, dessert is from a food app. [Chelsea laughing] Well, at least we know you can make one meal very, very well. I wanted you to have your favorite cheesecake from Junior’s. Junior’s is in New York City. I had it flown in. Like I said, you’re worth the trouble. Well, I don’t know if I’m going to have room for dessert because I don’t plan to leave any of this on my plate. How’s your steak?

It’s good. It’s perfect.

Mm. I was torn between that and the chicken, which is also delicious. Oh, here, have some. Oh, no, no, you don’t have to. Oh, it’s fine. Just give me a piece of chicken and we’ll call it even. What? What is it? My mom used to do that for me. We really didn’t eat out a whole lot, but… when we did, she would always get something that I liked so I could have my first and second choices. I didn’t remember that ’til just now. Well, you know, when someone hurts you, it’s easy to forget the good memories. My mom seemingly bailing on my dad, I think I might be able to get past that and admit that I didn’t understand what she was feeling. But learning that she lied to me about my biological father and the half-brother I never knew about, that’s gonna take some time. Look, I… I’m not saying what your mother did wasn’t wrong. But you do see my side in it. Yeah, of course I do. I mean, I also have gone through that, where I found out who my biological dad was. And I get it. It makes you question everything. So, what would you do if you were in my shoes? How can I find a way to let my mother back in? I think only you can answer that by spending time with her. You know, while you still have the chance. Just hear her side of things. She’s taken too much away from me. Look, when you lost Jackson, she lost him too. And then you cut your mother off and you ended up losing both of your parents. And I don’t know you, but you don’t seem like the kind of man who quits on things. Or people. But look, your mother just wants her son back. You know, but you’re the only one who can decide if or when that happens. Just think about it. I will. So, are you sharing your sides? Because those mashed potatoes are off the hook. [Lily chuckling]

Sure, go ahead. Dig in.

Thank you. I’m curious to learn more about this Aristotle Dumas. And perhaps Damian Kane can offer us a way in. I don’t think there’s any ill intent toward either Devon or Lily’s interests. Either way, I’ll find out so you can protect your family. I appreciate that. By the way, talking about family, how’s yours? Oh, um, great. Lauren’s perfect. Fenmore’s thriving. Kevin and Gloria are doing well. Although I’ve learned not to ask Gloria too many questions in case I don’t want to hear what the answers are. She’s a character.

MICHAEL: Yeah, she is.

Yeah. You look great. Are you sure you’re doing okay? It’s just been a few days since you took that bullet. I feel strong and focused. It wouldn’t kill you to take a few days off, you know. Why the hell would I do that? Because we’d like you around here for a little longer.

Oh.

I couldn’t agree more.

Hm.

VICTOR: Come here. So sweet. Victor, you have been pushing yourself too hard. Why don’t you just humor us and just take it easy for at least a few days? Thanks for the backup. Yeah, not that it’s going to do any good. You know, I appreciate your concern, but to be honest with you, when I got shot, I realized how fleeting life can be, you know. So, I’m going to make the most of every moment I have left. Darling, what more is there to accomplish? You’ve already conquered the world. I mean, you made Newman Enterprises extremely successful. Your children are happy and healthy. Your grandchildren all adore you. And yes, life is fleeting. So, why don’t you stop working so hard and spend it with the people you love? Nikki makes an excellent case. Look, it’s hard to imagine what life would be like here without you. Although, we all did have to consider that when that gun went off and we discovered you had been shot. Through the grace of God, you survived. So please slow down and let us savor every moment we can have with you. This food is leaps and bounds ahead of anything I’ve ever made. As I recall, you kind of knew your way around a kitchen. Mm. Just like you, I’ve got my go-tos. Stuffed French toast. Mushroom risotto. Trout almondine. And your double chocolate brownies are to die for. Thank you. I found my way. I was a terrible cook when we first got married.

You were not that bad.

CHELSEA: Yes, I was. You could have taught me how to boil water. What? Nothing. Is this more of that mystery you think we need for romance? Actually, it’s about honesty. Which I have also heard is an essential ingredient of a successful relationship. What haven’t you been honest about? Do you remember the first time that you tried to impress me by cooking? You made that cake? Oh, yeah. The one that you dropped on the floor. Actually, that’s not what really happened. I’m listening. Okay, so you made me the cake from scratch. You asked me to take it out of the oven when the timer went off. Yeah, I remember. I had to jump in the shower. Timer went off. I took it out of the oven. It just didn’t look right. What do you mean? I mean, it hadn’t risen. It was kind of flat. It looked more like a pancake. No, wait a minute. There’s more. It didn’t just look bad. It smelled bad. How does chocolate cake smell bad? I don’t know, but it did. I had to taste it. And? And it tasted even worse than it smelled.

Oh, no.

And I know how much you wanted to impress me, how proud you were. I didn’t want you to be disappointed. So you… I dumped it on the floor, and I said that I burned my hand pulling it out of the oven. I yelled at you for that. And it was your birthday. Yeah, you did. But you just wanted to protect my feelings. I’m sorry I lied. Don’t be. I would have been devastated. I mean, I appreciated the effort. And I appreciate everything you did tonight. For me. I mean, we spent a lot of today talking about a lot of happy memories. I had kind of forgotten that we had any. Well, that’s my fault, Chels. I should have made more of them for us. Look Adam, I should have, too. We have been through hell and back together, haven’t we? It’s kind of a miracle that we can sit down and enjoy a nice meal like this after everything we’ve been through. Nothing like some psychological trauma, Connor’s and mine, to create resilience. You are the bravest person I know. For trying your cooking. Hey. Big risk. Big reward. So, I gave you what you came for. Told you all about my family drama. Yes, you did. And yet I still know so very little about you. Are you involved with anyone? Romantically? Oh, my God. I don’t think that’s relevant. Hey, I’m not making a play or anything. I’m just curious. I’d be surprised if you were single. Why is that? Because you’re the total package. Oh, my God. That’s not something a player would say. Seriously, what guy in his right mind wouldn’t be interested in you? Oh, okay. Well, I am single, but it’s because I am focused on my career. I can relate to that. So, you’re single too? I am. I haven’t met the right person. And your career? You’ve managed to do quite well for yourself. Through skill, hard work, and some luck. That’s pretty vague. Hey, like you said, I like to play my cards close to the vest. Which is why there must not be that much information out there about you. So, you’ve done a little Internet sleuthing, huh? Maybe.

I did too.

Oh.

On you.

You did?

I did.

Okay. You’ve managed to do quite well for yourself too. Before coming back to Winters, you had a pretty good run at– I think that’s enough about me. Come on. All we’ve been talking about tonight is me. Well, that’s why I’m here. You really know how to stay on point. Yeah, I do. So, skill, hard work, and luck. That’s right. That’s all you’re going to give me? Hey, I don’t want to overshare. Besides, it’s only our first date. This is not a date. Hey, you’re the boss. At least at Winters. So, what’s your next move? I think I’m just going to have to follow your lead. I’m not sure how brave I really am. I’ve spent so much time consumed with fear and doubt. That’s not at all what I’ve seen. Believe me. If you’re talking about Connor, I’m not the only parent who’s stepped up and shown courage. I told you, you helping Connor through his OCD, it made you a better man. I did what any dad would do. Don’t do that.

Do what?

CHELSEA: Sell yourself short. You were there for him. And me. And put all of your needs aside. All of your wants aside. Look, I saw the two people that I care about most in this world in pain. What else was I supposed to do? I wasn’t going to turn my back on you guys. But it was more than that, Adam. You weren’t just there for us. You were there with us. I would give my life to not have Connor get sick the way he did. And for you to have to watch him suffer. We were both brave. We were. I, uh, I don’t mean to bring up old wounds, but do you think that maybe Sally and Billy saw this before we did? How I changed and how it changed how you see me? I know Billy did. And Sally, from everything she said to me after everything came out, I think she saw how… you changed me. How did I do that? I don’t know. I just felt safer because of you. Yeah. [Adam sighing] Look at us. Who thought that we would be here again? Definitely not me. You both know damn well I didn’t accomplish what I have by resting on my laurels. In business, there’s always a new challenge, a new mountain to climb. A new foe to defeat. But I know when to stop and hang ’em up. MICHAEL: All right, Victor. Nobody here thinks that they’re going to win this argument with you.

What?

But that’s not going to stop us from petitioning for a recess. One week. What do you mean one week? A whole week? A weekend. Get away somewhere. With your beautiful wife. Or we could just stay home and relax in this beautiful house that you have built for us. Sweetheart. I’m relaxing while I’m working. You know, this is a beautiful home, but I know when it’s time to stop, okay? [Michael chuckling] No. Victor Newman knows no limits. NIKKI: Well, case in point. It’s late, yet you have brought Michael all the way out here to work on something. All right, now if you want to know what we were talking about, it was something regarding Lily Winters. She needs my help. Oh. Well, I very much approve. You know how much I want to regain her trust. Um, I just feel like I need to clarify. This is not a date, and I will not be leading you anywhere. Hey, I just meant that I was going to take your advice, okay? I’m going to give my mom another chance. Oh, okay. I’m happy to hear that. So, I guess you’ll be staying in Genoa City for a bit. Would that make you happy? It would. It would. For Nate and Amy’s sake. But, I mean, you’ve been away from L.A. for a while. What about work? Business back home is all good, and I trust Holden to keep the lights on. Now, I have a question for you. Since I’m going to be around, can I see you again? Um, I am open to negotiating that. So, Lily asked you to find out more about this Damian Kane, and that is what led you to discover his connection to the mysterious Aristotle Dumas. Yeah, well, I asked Michael to find out everything he can, you know? And you’re worried that his involvement could spell trouble for the Winters. Lily came to me. She was obviously worried about something, and she asked me for help, you know? And I owe it to Neil and to his family to protect her. I want to do that, too. I mean, we owe her that. I will do everything I can to repair that relationship. Well, good luck with your mom. Thanks for listening, and helping me see how there– Thank you. Might be a way forward with her. You’re a good influence on me. Oh, God, there you go trying to influence me again. Why do I have a feeling you’re not going to let me get away with anything? Uh, maybe because I won’t. Good night, Damian. Good night, Lily. I can’t believe how good that meal was. Thank you. You sure you don’t want cheesecake? Oh, no, I’ll just have to save it for breakfast. Well, I thought I was cooking you oatmeal. Oh, that’s not going to cut it anymore. You set the bar way too high tonight. With my cooking. With your cooking. And… everything. You sound surprised. There was a part of me that thought tonight could potentially be an absolute disaster.

You know?

Me, too. Like with my food. Like with your food. I’m glad we gave it a chance before we passed judgment. So tonight was good? Tonight was better than good. So much better that… I want to do this.

Oh, if by men you mean the spies we embedded in the company in order to get intel on any and all new products? Yeah. Then the answer to that is yes. Uh, they will need a few more days to generate a report. Good. That’s it? You have no demands, no complaining that you wanted it yesterday? It’s not what this meeting is about. Then what is it about? Something is going on at Winters. I’m concerned about Lily. And I want to help her. Hello there. Hello. Oh, that’s not necessary. No, good manners are always necessary.

Please.

Okay, thank you. Yes. Sounds like something your mother taught you. No, my father. The one who raised me. Jackson. I appreciate you joining me for dinner. Well, I’m holding up my end of the bargain. [Damian chuckling] You make it sound like we made a business deal. Well, I have learned that most things in life are transactional. Okay, I get something I want. Dinner with you. Yeah, and I get something I want, which is I want to know how things are going with Amy, Nate, and you. Hm. What’s all this? ADAM: This is for you. I hope you’re hungry because you’re about to have the best dinner of your life. Thank you.

Hm.

Yeah, and our answers would be awkward and tentative, and once our inquisitors moved off, we would take the conversation someplace safe. We’d talk about Connor. The weather. Or sports. The Milwaukee Brewers. Well, I don’t think we’d be talking about the Brewers. Are you sure? I mean, it could be their year. You really made dinner? I did. Hm. What? Are you sure you wouldn’t rather go out instead? Oh, I’m positive. I’m glad you’re looking out for Lily. After what happened at Chancellor, It’s the least I can do. Is she in trouble?

Lily is very angry with us. You and Nikki.

VICTOR: Yep.

That said, I’d like to help smooth things over, so what can we do to help Lily? This has to do with Aristotle Dumas. The reclusive billionaire businessman who lives in D.C.? The very same. You have been curious about that man for years. Yeah. I wonder if he even exists. There are no photos of him, no public appearances. He could be a conglomerate of people operating under the guise of a self-made figurehead. Whoever he is, he has gone to great lengths to remain hidden. And you want to know why? VICTOR: Yeah. And what interest he has in Lily and Devon and Winters. Hm. I hope it wasn’t too presumptuous ordering the wine. Uh, no, you actually made an excellent choice. When I moved to L.A., I took the opportunity to educate myself on a few of California’s vineyards, and the vintage of this particular pinot noir is one of my favorites. I will not be distracted by the fact that you can pick a good pinot. I am here because I want to know how things are going with your mother. How much do you already know? Why don’t you assume I know nothing, and you tell me everything about you? I know your cousin filled you in, at least from his perspective. Yeah, but I want to know your perspective, and you have my full attention. And that’s not something I will ever take for granted. I’m sure Nate told you that I grew up living a lie, and that I cut my mother out of my life after the man I believed was my biological father had passed away. Right, but you didn’t know he wasn’t your biological dad when he died, or that your mother had kept it from you. True. So, maybe you can fill me in on how you cut your own mother out of your life.

So you’re worried this may spell trouble for Winters? You bet. All right, what do you want me to do? I want you to find out everything you can About the relationship between Damian Kane and Aristotle Dumas. Look, I can tell that you’re used to being guarded, so I will just tell you what my motives are. I’d appreciate that. Okay, well, it’s very simple. I love my cousin. I care about him. And I want to protect him. And I know Nate doesn’t show it, but he’s also very guarded as well. And I can tell that it has really affected him finding out that he has a brother at this stage in his life. So, you’re here to advocate for your cousin? Well, and your mom. I mean, if I can help you all heal and come together, I’d like to. And what if I’m just going to cause Nate and my mother just more pain? Well, then I’ll do what I can to protect them from you. Then maybe my going back to California is the best way to protect them and myself. Well, Nate did ask you to stay. He did. Okay, so he must believe that there’s some good that can come from that. And do you share his optimism? I’m more of the pragmatist in the family, but I’m willing to, you know, see how things play out. I believe you. Yeah, I believe that you have good intentions here. So, you’ll answer my questions? Long story short, I broke ties with my mom because I blamed her for my father’s death. And how did he die? Heart disease. Well, Amy couldn’t have caused that. Yeah, well, maybe a part of me believes that the real reason he died was… a broken heart. My mother didn’t seem to care that he was dying. I mean, I kind of find that hard to believe. DAMIAN: Yeah, well, that’s what it felt like to me. It seemed like she just shut down. She stayed away. She… left us to deal with it ourselves. She was hardly around. Well, maybe that was her way of dealing with everything. Yeah, that’s what she said when we spoke earlier. That she was trying to be brave for both of us. Trying to hold things together. That and she had to work two jobs just to pay for his health care, so. Okay, well, I’m sure you can understand that. I suppose I can now, as an adult. But that’s all news to me. At 16, it just felt cold. And since I stopped feeling her love, I… started to hate her. I was full of resentment. And I ran away. But you came back. Yeah, but that resentment, that anger… it took hold of me. And I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to let it go. I have to say, I am a little offended by your suggestion that I would offer you a gastronomic experience that would be anything less than spectacular. I am actually just as curious as I am terrified. Maybe it’ll help if I knew what was on the menu. No, I think I should let the anticipation build a little more. Okay, you can’t blame me for being a little bit nervous. I don’t recall you being very comfortable in the kitchen. Hey, I’ve learned a few things since we were together. Bachelors gotta eat too, you know. Well, you weren’t a bachelor that whole time. You and Sally didn’t cook together? We, uh, were big on takeout. Got to know all the food app drivers by name. We did try breakfast once. Any luck? We tried eggs Benedict and it was an epic failure. And after that, if we stayed in, we did oatmeal. Instant. You know, the one that you boil water? Yeah, Adam, I know what instant oatmeal is. I was just saying– That you were surprised that I know how to boil water? What about when Connor would stay over? Well, he had his pancakes. Right, right. So, we’ll be having oatmeal for dinner. I tried my hand at a new dish. You did? Sorry, that sounded… Concerned? Let me try again. You did? That sounded a little less scared. I mean, come on, I told you that I spent a lot of time in the kitchen with my mom. I do have skills. Okay, all I ask is that you just give it a chance before passing judgment. Okay, well, you’ve put in a lot of effort, so it’s the least I can do. [Chelsea gasping] Pasta! Okay, hard to screw up. Makes a lot of sense, since one of your strongest skills in the kitchen is boiling water. Great! And I’d love to know which jar from the pantry you got the sauce from. The pasta is homemade. And the sauce is made from scratch. [Chelsea laughing] Are you being serious? I grated the cheese and I peeled the garlic myself. You’ve gone to a lot of trouble. Well, you’re worth it. And then some. To you… Chels. And to you, Adam. To us. To finding answers to what comes next. ADAM: Okay. Go ahead. I’m just letting the anticipation build a little bit longer. Okay, okay. You do know you’re my emergency contact if I have to go to the hospital, right? Do you want me to take the first bite? I’m joking, I’m joking. Okay, I’ll try it. Can’t wait. Well? Is it horrible? Chelsea. Say something. It’s amazing. Yeah? You really cooked this? I definitely did. And the mess in the kitchen proves it. You swear you didn’t order this from one of those food delivery apps that brought it in from a Michelin star Italian bistro? Come on, you don’t have to exaggerate to spare my feelings.

Let me try it.

Okay. Wait, that is good. Yeah, but you’re acting just as surprised as I am. Didn’t you try it already? I wanted us to taste it together. So… I’m sensing parmesan, garlic, definitely a cream sauce, but there’s something else in here. Secret ingredient. What is it? It’s a secret. Oh, come on. Everyone knows romance needs a little bit of mystery. I’ll get you to crack over dessert. Oh. Now, dessert is from a food app. [Chelsea laughing] Well, at least we know you can make one meal very, very well. I wanted you to have your favorite cheesecake from Junior’s. Junior’s is in New York City. I had it flown in. Like I said, you’re worth the trouble. Well, I don’t know if I’m going to have room for dessert because I don’t plan to leave any of this on my plate. How’s your steak?

It’s good. It’s perfect.

Mm. I was torn between that and the chicken, which is also delicious. Oh, here, have some. Oh, no, no, you don’t have to. Oh, it’s fine. Just give me a piece of chicken and we’ll call it even. What? What is it? My mom used to do that for me. We really didn’t eat out a whole lot, but… when we did, she would always get something that I liked so I could have my first and second choices. I didn’t remember that ’til just now. Well, you know, when someone hurts you, it’s easy to forget the good memories. My mom seemingly bailing on my dad, I think I might be able to get past that and admit that I didn’t understand what she was feeling. But learning that she lied to me about my biological father and the half-brother I never knew about, that’s gonna take some time. Look, I… I’m not saying what your mother did wasn’t wrong. But you do see my side in it. Yeah, of course I do. I mean, I also have gone through that, where I found out who my biological dad was. And I get it. It makes you question everything. So, what would you do if you were in my shoes? How can I find a way to let my mother back in? I think only you can answer that by spending time with her. You know, while you still have the chance. Just hear her side of things. She’s taken too much away from me. Look, when you lost Jackson, she lost him too. And then you cut your mother off and you ended up losing both of your parents. And I don’t know you, but you don’t seem like the kind of man who quits on things. Or people. But look, your mother just wants her son back. You know, but you’re the only one who can decide if or when that happens. Just think about it. I will. So, are you sharing your sides? Because those mashed potatoes are off the hook. [Lily chuckling]

Sure, go ahead. Dig in.

Thank you. I’m curious to learn more about this Aristotle Dumas. And perhaps Damian Kane can offer us a way in. I don’t think there’s any ill intent toward either Devon or Lily’s interests. Either way, I’ll find out so you can protect your family. I appreciate that. By the way, talking about family, how’s yours? Oh, um, great. Lauren’s perfect. Fenmore’s thriving. Kevin and Gloria are doing well. Although I’ve learned not to ask Gloria too many questions in case I don’t want to hear what the answers are. She’s a character.

MICHAEL: Yeah, she is.

Yeah. You look great. Are you sure you’re doing okay? It’s just been a few days since you took that bullet. I feel strong and focused. It wouldn’t kill you to take a few days off, you know. Why the hell would I do that? Because we’d like you around here for a little longer.

Oh.

I couldn’t agree more.

Hm.

VICTOR: Come here. So sweet. Victor, you have been pushing yourself too hard. Why don’t you just humor us and just take it easy for at least a few days? Thanks for the backup. Yeah, not that it’s going to do any good. You know, I appreciate your concern, but to be honest with you, when I got shot, I realized how fleeting life can be, you know. So, I’m going to make the most of every moment I have left. Darling, what more is there to accomplish? You’ve already conquered the world. I mean, you made Newman Enterprises extremely successful. Your children are happy and healthy. Your grandchildren all adore you. And yes, life is fleeting. So, why don’t you stop working so hard and spend it with the people you love? Nikki makes an excellent case. Look, it’s hard to imagine what life would be like here without you. Although, we all did have to consider that when that gun went off and we discovered you had been shot. Through the grace of God, you survived. So please slow down and let us savor every moment we can have with you. This food is leaps and bounds ahead of anything I’ve ever made. As I recall, you kind of knew your way around a kitchen. Mm. Just like you, I’ve got my go-tos. Stuffed French toast. Mushroom risotto. Trout almondine. And your double chocolate brownies are to die for. Thank you. I found my way. I was a terrible cook when we first got married.

You were not that bad.

CHELSEA: Yes, I was. You could have taught me how to boil water. What? Nothing. Is this more of that mystery you think we need for romance? Actually, it’s about honesty. Which I have also heard is an essential ingredient of a successful relationship. What haven’t you been honest about? Do you remember the first time that you tried to impress me by cooking? You made that cake? Oh, yeah. The one that you dropped on the floor. Actually, that’s not what really happened. I’m listening. Okay, so you made me the cake from scratch. You asked me to take it out of the oven when the timer went off. Yeah, I remember. I had to jump in the shower. Timer went off. I took it out of the oven. It just didn’t look right. What do you mean? I mean, it hadn’t risen. It was kind of flat. It looked more like a pancake. No, wait a minute. There’s more. It didn’t just look bad. It smelled bad. How does chocolate cake smell bad? I don’t know, but it did. I had to taste it. And? And it tasted even worse than it smelled.

Oh, no.

And I know how much you wanted to impress me, how proud you were. I didn’t want you to be disappointed. So you… I dumped it on the floor, and I said that I burned my hand pulling it out of the oven. I yelled at you for that. And it was your birthday. Yeah, you did. But you just wanted to protect my feelings. I’m sorry I lied. Don’t be. I would have been devastated. I mean, I appreciated the effort. And I appreciate everything you did tonight. For me. I mean, we spent a lot of today talking about a lot of happy memories. I had kind of forgotten that we had any. Well, that’s my fault, Chels. I should have made more of them for us. Look Adam, I should have, too. We have been through hell and back together, haven’t we? It’s kind of a miracle that we can sit down and enjoy a nice meal like this after everything we’ve been through. Nothing like some psychological trauma, Connor’s and mine, to create resilience. You are the bravest person I know. For trying your cooking. Hey. Big risk. Big reward. So, I gave you what you came for. Told you all about my family drama. Yes, you did. And yet I still know so very little about you. Are you involved with anyone? Romantically? Oh, my God. I don’t think that’s relevant. Hey, I’m not making a play or anything. I’m just curious. I’d be surprised if you were single. Why is that? Because you’re the total package. Oh, my God. That’s not something a player would say. Seriously, what guy in his right mind wouldn’t be interested in you? Oh, okay. Well, I am single, but it’s because I am focused on my career. I can relate to that. So, you’re single too? I am. I haven’t met the right person. And your career? You’ve managed to do quite well for yourself. Through skill, hard work, and some luck. That’s pretty vague. Hey, like you said, I like to play my cards close to the vest. Which is why there must not be that much information out there about you. So, you’ve done a little Internet sleuthing, huh? Maybe.

I did too.

Oh.

On you.

You did?

I did.

Okay. You’ve managed to do quite well for yourself too. Before coming back to Winters, you had a pretty good run at– I think that’s enough about me. Come on. All we’ve been talking about tonight is me. Well, that’s why I’m here. You really know how to stay on point. Yeah, I do. So, skill, hard work, and luck. That’s right. That’s all you’re going to give me? Hey, I don’t want to overshare. Besides, it’s only our first date. This is not a date. Hey, you’re the boss. At least at Winters. So, what’s your next move? I think I’m just going to have to follow your lead. I’m not sure how brave I really am. I’ve spent so much time consumed with fear and doubt. That’s not at all what I’ve seen. Believe me. If you’re talking about Connor, I’m not the only parent who’s stepped up and shown courage. I told you, you helping Connor through his OCD, it made you a better man. I did what any dad would do. Don’t do that.

Do what?

CHELSEA: Sell yourself short. You were there for him. And me. And put all of your needs aside. All of your wants aside. Look, I saw the two people that I care about most in this world in pain. What else was I supposed to do? I wasn’t going to turn my back on you guys. But it was more than that, Adam. You weren’t just there for us. You were there with us. I would give my life to not have Connor get sick the way he did. And for you to have to watch him suffer. We were both brave. We were. I, uh, I don’t mean to bring up old wounds, but do you think that maybe Sally and Billy saw this before we did? How I changed and how it changed how you see me? I know Billy did. And Sally, from everything she said to me after everything came out, I think she saw how… you changed me. How did I do that? I don’t know. I just felt safer because of you. Yeah. [Adam sighing] Look at us. Who thought that we would be here again? Definitely not me. You both know damn well I didn’t accomplish what I have by resting on my laurels. In business, there’s always a new challenge, a new mountain to climb. A new foe to defeat. But I know when to stop and hang ’em up. MICHAEL: All right, Victor. Nobody here thinks that they’re going to win this argument with you.

What?

But that’s not going to stop us from petitioning for a recess. One week. What do you mean one week? A whole week? A weekend. Get away somewhere. With your beautiful wife. Or we could just stay home and relax in this beautiful house that you have built for us. Sweetheart. I’m relaxing while I’m working. You know, this is a beautiful home, but I know when it’s time to stop, okay? [Michael chuckling] No. Victor Newman knows no limits. NIKKI: Well, case in point. It’s late, yet you have brought Michael all the way out here to work on something. All right, now if you want to know what we were talking about, it was something regarding Lily Winters. She needs my help. Oh. Well, I very much approve. You know how much I want to regain her trust. Um, I just feel like I need to clarify. This is not a date, and I will not be leading you anywhere. Hey, I just meant that I was going to take your advice, okay? I’m going to give my mom another chance. Oh, okay. I’m happy to hear that. So, I guess you’ll be staying in Genoa City for a bit. Would that make you happy? It would. It would. For Nate and Amy’s sake. But, I mean, you’ve been away from L.A. for a while. What about work? Business back home is all good, and I trust Holden to keep the lights on. Now, I have a question for you. Since I’m going to be around, can I see you again? Um, I am open to negotiating that. So, Lily asked you to find out more about this Damian Kane, and that is what led you to discover his connection to the mysterious Aristotle Dumas. Yeah, well, I asked Michael to find out everything he can, you know? And you’re worried that his involvement could spell trouble for the Winters. Lily came to me. She was obviously worried about something, and she asked me for help, you know? And I owe it to Neil and to his family to protect her. I want to do that, too. I mean, we owe her that. I will do everything I can to repair that relationship. Well, good luck with your mom. Thanks for listening, and helping me see how there– Thank you. Might be a way forward with her. You’re a good influence on me. Oh, God, there you go trying to influence me again. Why do I have a feeling you’re not going to let me get away with anything? Uh, maybe because I won’t. Good night, Damian. Good night, Lily. I can’t believe how good that meal was. Thank you. You sure you don’t want cheesecake? Oh, no, I’ll just have to save it for breakfast. Well, I thought I was cooking you oatmeal. Oh, that’s not going to cut it anymore. You set the bar way too high tonight. With my cooking. With your cooking. And… everything. You sound surprised. There was a part of me that thought tonight could potentially be an absolute disaster.

You know?

Me, too. Like with my food. Like with your food. I’m glad we gave it a chance before we passed judgment. So tonight was good? Tonight was better than good. So much better that… I want to do this.

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

[feedback blaring] SHARON: Ah! [Sharon panting] Oh, no. No, no, no. Please. Oh, no! It’s okay. I’m okay. Hello? Is anyone there? [feedback blaring] Okay, you’ve got my attention! Tell me who you are! Is someone there? I don’t understand. I don’t– I– This place, what is this place? This doesn’t make any sense. I shouldn’t be here. I– What happened? What? What? Oh, my– my head. Is it drugs? Did you drug me? Why would you do that? Who are you? What do you want from me? I have to get home. I have to… Oh. Thank God. Thank God. No. Open. Open, open, please. No, no, no. Hello? Can anyone hear me? I’m locked in. Please help. Who are you? I can get you money, if that’s what you want. My name is Sharon. I have children. I have a granddaughter. If this is a real kidnapping, you chose me for a reason. Tell me what it is. Just tell me what you want. You can have it. Anything. Just let me out of here. If you can hear me, then make that sound again, please. Maybe there’s no one there. Maybe this isn’t real. Maybe the drugs are still in my system from before. Maybe they’ll always be with me. Maybe I’m just losing my mind. I’ve just worked so hard. I’m on my real meds now. No. I’ve done all the work. I didn’t come this far just to lose my mind now. No. No. This is real. This is real. This is really happening. I haven’t seen your face. I don’t know who you are. I won’t tell a soul. I’ll just say– I’ll say that I needed time to myself. I will protect you. I swear. There will be people looking for me. You should run. You should run now. The people who tried to hurt me before, they’re all dead. Ian, Cameron, Jordan, they’re dead. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that. I shouldn’t have said that. It… There has to be another way out of here. Okay. For Mariah and Faith and Noah and Tessa and Aria and Nicholas. You have to stay calm. Okay, there has to be a way out. There has to be a way out of here. Yes. Yes. Hello? Hello? Anyone hear me? [Sharon gasping] Who is it? Oh, no, no. Dear God. This can’t be like before. This can’t be like with Heather. Phyllis. Oh, my God. Please be breathing. Please be breathing. Please. Please. Oh, my God. Phyllis. Phyllis, wake up. You have to wake up. Can you hear me? Phyllis. Phyllis.

Wake up.

[Phyllis inhaling] Can you hear me? Oh, hell no. Easy. Come on. Let me help you. Can you get up? Easy now. Got it? Let go. It’s okay. Look, it was disorienting for me, too.

Are you okay?

Where are we? What did you do to me? I– I didn’t do anything to you. Wait– What… What did– what did you do to me, Sharon? Why on earth would I do anything to you, Phyllis? We’re obviously both stuck here. Someone put us here. I don’t know why. I didn’t think it was real at first. I thought maybe I was having another hallucination, but no. You are here, and you are very much your normal self. Is this payback? Is this phase two? You know what? You’re really not making any sense. Maybe you hit your head. You got rid of Heather. I didn’t kill her, and you know that. You didn’t kill her, but you got rid of her in the most despicable way. Sharon, you know that drugs or no drugs, you want to do the same to me right now, don’t you? Because I’m always the one who’s going to call you out. That’s right, Phyllis. Because your one purpose in life is to harass me every day, even now, even when we’re stuck in here. The only thing you can think to do is blame me. It’s all about you, isn’t it? You know what? Maybe this is your doing, and you’re lying to me. This is your revenge. Are you kidding me? If I wanted to inflict pain upon you, I’d do it from afar so I wouldn’t have to look at your face. Really? Because I think you would want to see my misery up close. The charges against me were dropped. You said that you could never accept that, so now you want to make me suffer and you arrange this, whatever this is. I was unconscious on the floor. I woke up to you looking down at me. You could have been faking. You lie like you breathe, no effort at all. You’re so deranged. You know what? I’m getting out of here. How do we get out of here? I’m doing it myself. There’s a door, be my guest, but it’s locked. [doorknob rattling] Oh, my God! Yeah, it’s locked. [Phyllis panting] We’re trapped. Oh, my God. We’re trapped. If you didn’t think we were trapped, if you knew this was real, you would be crying right now, climbing the walls, begging for someone to save you. This is real, Phyllis, and the reason I’m not freaking out is because I’m a little bit numb at this point. But yeah, this is really happening. Of course it is, and of course I would have to get trapped in a room with you of all people because nothing in my life can be easy or normal for more than like two weeks. PHYLLIS: Open the door. Oh, my God. It doesn’t even move. Open the door. You have– You’re behind this. You have the key.

I’m not behind it.

Give me the key.

Oh, my God. Do–

Where do you have it? Do you want to lose a hand right now? Give me the key so that I can get out of here. I don’t have a key. You did this. Okay, come on. Sharon, oh, my God, for the last time, open the door. Sharon, please. Are you done with your fun? Just open the door. Do you get it now, Phyllis? We are stuck in here and whoever put us in here is out there. Now, you say that you’re not behind this. I’m not. I’m not either. [feedback blaring] [Sharon groaning] What is that? It happened before. You slept through it. No one could sleep through that. Except you did. Oh, right. I’m going to have to take your word for it, except you can’t be trusted. Phyllis, we do not have time for your paranoia right now. We’re in here, and whoever did this to us is out there. Except they’re making that sound on purpose. And they can hear us. They can hear us. Hey! Hey, psycho! Do you think this is funny? Who did this? That guy Ian? Or Jordan? I thought they died. They died, didn’t they? They definitely did. Nick saw Ian die from a gunshot, and Jordan poisoned herself. So, who is it? Is it one of their psycho followers? And they’re trying to get back at us for some reason? I don’t know. It’s possible they met some people in prison, or these are followers from Ian’s cult days, still following old orders. Maybe they’re trying to carry out some mission. But to what end? I don’t– I don’t understand this. And why me? Why me? Why would I be a part of it? Why me? Let me go! Keep her!

Oh, my God!

Phyllis. Phyllis, stop it!

Why me?

This isn’t a game. This is serious, and this is dangerous,

and anything that you say…

Um. …could come back to bite us. I’m gonna have to ask you to let go of me, please? Gladly. You’re gonna have to calm down. I’m calm! Is this funny? I’m calm! We need to figure out why we’re here, who did this to us, and why’d they lock us up together. It’s definitely not because we’re friends. Maybe that’s the point. Maybe they just want to watch us kill each other. Maybe that’s the point. For us to turn on each other, fight to the death. Okay, if that was the point, it’d take me, like, two minutes. This isn’t a joke, Phyllis. I’m not joking. It’d take me, like, two minutes. Uh, I’d like this to be over, please. Um, I have a life. I have kids. I have a new job. I don’t really have time for this, thanks, but, um, I’m done. They’ll for sure open the door now. Well, some of us are resourceful, you know? Some of us take matters into our own hands, you know, and make things happen, and others, like yourself, wait for someone to rescue them, like you always do. I’m gonna get us out of here. You just love to make me sound as pathetic as possible, as if I didn’t save myself and my daughter from a homicidal maniac. Do you know how to pick a lock? That’s good. Did you break it? Did you just stand there doing nothing? Oh, yeah, definitely get in some easy reading at this time. You expecting a key to fall out of one of those books? That would be useless now that you’ve jammed the lock. What I’d like to hear is, “Hey, Phyllis, you showed some initiative. “You’re resourceful, Phyllis. “You’re my idol, Phyllis.” Oh, hang on a minute.

What?

Look at this. Look. What, this? Property of Havenhurst Psychiatric Clinic. Havenhurst.

It’s all Havenhurst.

Same with these. That’s where we are. But you know this place, right? I’m just saying. You know. Maybe you had your own room. Maybe they kept you away from everyone and all the sharp objects. Okay, that’s enough, Phyllis. Yes, I have spent some time in clinics, and no, not this one. There’s nothing shameful about getting treatment when you need help. What’s shameful is inflicting your nastiness on everyone around you. You got me. Yeah, I do. So now, can we just focus on the situation here? We are never going to get out of here. Our only hope at this point is to figure out who did this. Why? Why us, and why here? Problem solving is my superpower. Jerk. Let’s go sit down. Let’s go sit down. Let’s go sit down. Okay, so… do you remember where you were before this? Yes, I was at Crimson Lights. I was working, and then I went out to run some errands. You know, it’s dark out now, but it can’t have been the same night, can it? I know. I feel the same way. I mean, where I was before this is I was, um, I was in my suite, I was sleeping, and I was having some really, really wild dreams. I mean, wild. I had to wake up and kind of shake it off. I was having strange dreams, too. Maybe both of us had already been drugged by that point. I mean, they had to knock us out to get us in here. You know, I was planning to have breakfast with my kids the day after. That’s good. Good. By now, they’d be worried about you, and they’ll come looking for you. I mean, it’s good that they’re, not that they’re worried, but that, you know, they’ll look for you. I know. Or, I don’t know. Maybe, maybe they think I just took off like I did before and they’re mad. Phyllis, I’m sure that they don’t feel that way. Don’t, don’t, don’t act like you care, okay, about me, please. I wouldn’t dare. Trust me. What about your kids? Do you think they’re looking for you? Um, I can’t be sure. Mariah may have tried to contact me about Cassidy First. Faith was having a sleepover at a friend’s house, and then she had a day trip planned. She may have tried to reach out to me by now. We can’t have been gone for more than one day,

can we?

PHYLLIS: I don’t know. I know our kids will be worried. Especially after everything they’ve already been through. And they’d start panicking. SHARON: No matter how big they get, they need to know that they can count on Mom. I know, and when they don’t, and they don’t feel that way, all hell breaks loose. You know, it’s one thing to do this to us,

to try to frighten us.

PHYLLIS: I know, but to do this to our kids, that pisses me off. Me too. I’ve had enough of this. Enough. I guess it’s too much to ask that we have our phones. Yeah. That’s– that’s the game. Is that the game right now? Hide and seek with our phones? All right. Game on. Let’s go. How long do you think this place has been closed? Seriously? You’ve never heard of this place? Oh, give it a rest, Phyllis. I would assume that you’d know of these places. Yeah, I got it the first time because I’ve spent so much time in clinics. Because you’re a therapist. You’d know of these places. Oh. Yeah, and you admitted that we’re probably here because of you. Well, maybe somebody thought that it was finally time that you get the help that you need. Oh, that’s right. You did get treatment a long time ago, didn’t you? Just look for your phone, Sharon. Don’t try to get my head. It’s probably as dark and scary a place as it is in here. You know what they call that? They call that projection. Yeah. You know about that, projection? Or did you miss that class because you were having one of your fainting spells? You know, I could always give you some free talk therapy while we’re in here. I mean, I would never diagnose someone without an in-depth conversation and history because that would be unprofessional, but… borderline personality disorder comes to mind, and narcissism. If the goal is for us to kill each other, you’re making it really easy. You know, it makes my skin crawl, the idea of somebody watching us and listening to us and judging. I don’t know. Are we supposed to get along? Are we supposed to argue? I mean, what’s the game?

I don’t understand the game.

SHARON: Hold on. I found something here. There is food and a can opener here. How old is that food? Well, nothing’s expired. This is not from before. Is it like– like a gift from the host? How long do they expect us to be here? Mm-hmm. You can have the stuff that’s in the can.

I’m gonna hydrate with water.

No! Stop it!

There’s a lot.

You cannot drink that, Phyllis! My God. There’s a lot there. No, that’s how I was drugged before in the sewer. It was the water. There was PCP in the water, and I drank some before I realized it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you. You’re welcome. We don’t know for sure who is behind this. Maybe it has nothing to do with Ian. Maybe whoever did this is someone from your past. Uh, okay, well, in that case, we can drink the water. We might have no choice but to drink at some point. We’ll find out then. We have to work together to get out of here. Okay? So then we can drink water from normal people.

Agreed.

Mm-hmm. PHYLLIS: Were you like this before? Like, calm like this?

In the sewer?

In the sewer, yeah. The sewer. That must have been horrible. So, Ian’s game was to get rid of you? Is that what it was? So that Mariah would want to be with him and he would be a father figure to her again? I guess so. Oh, yeah, and then, then he enlisted Claire’s aunt to join him and play along? It was a plan that only made sense to them. I just wish, uh, I wish that Ian had been the one who was chained up. That way I could have gotten some answers maybe, but then Victor shot him. Anyway, at least Ian is where he belongs now. In hell. Wow. It’s like Heather really did die for no reason. Because of some vendetta that had nothing to do with her. I hate it. It’s like this hand around my heart. It’s always there, squeezing some days more than others. Daniel had to lose the woman he loves. Lucy lost her mother and you. You had to watch the people you love suffer. And you helped them cover their tracks. You helped them with their plan without even really knowing it. You helped them run me off the road. Every day I thought I was being responsible for my illness. Taking my medication. And I was poisoning myself. When I look back at that and realize that every day my free will was being taken away from me. My sense of judgment, of decency. I did some horrible things. I told lie after lie and that stain will not wash off of me. I’ll never get over it. Good. You shouldn’t. You know what, Phyllis? Think whatever you want. I don’t care anymore. Don’t they teach you about accountability in therapy, Sharon? Because it seems like you’re really just letting yourself off the hook again. You know all of this. I was drugged. I had a powerful mind-altering poison in my system. I was having hallucinations. Can you even begin to understand this? I was having entire conversations with myself when I thought somebody else was in the room. That’s how bad I was. Yeah, you’re drugged. It wasn’t your choice. It was– I know. I know. But that didn’t stop you from going after my family. If you were to ask Mariah or Nick or anyone else, they would tell you that they could see that something was up. I was either hot-headed or I was spacey. I was having blackouts. You saw that for yourself. Sharon, I know. I saw it for myself. I did. I did at the most convenient time. You went unconscious. That wasn’t convenient. It was hell. You know what was hell? You know what was hell? What my son went through was hell. What Lucy went through was hell. You threatened them. You accused them. You kept on telling them to leave town. I mean, that’s the irony to all of this. If they would have left town, Heather would still be alive. I’m really sorry about that. I’m sorry about everything I said, everything I did. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. You know, the PCP didn’t make you attack other people in town. It just made you attack my family. That’s all. [Phyllis sighing] Lucy lost her mom because of Ian Ward, but she almost lost her father because of you. You had so many opportunities to speak out. You had so many opportunities and you didn’t do it. It’s like human decency took a back seat to the need, this need that you have to attack my family. So all of your tears and your regret, I don’t care. You earned it. Choke on it. And right now, right here, in this moment, it’s more important for you to tear into me than to try to find a way out of here. I don’t care about you at all. I honestly don’t. Yeah, I know. You don’t even see me as a person. To you, I’m just a target. I’m like an easy mark. And you know, the funny thing about that is you really like to say I’m so pathetic, I’m so weak, you love to paint me out that way, but then you act like I’m the devil incarnate. So which one is it, Phyllis? Am I helpless or am I a super villain? Both. I think you’re both. I do. Because I’ve watched you. Depending on what you want or who you want it from, you are both. And I see you, your eyes well up and your bottom lip quivers and you act so innocent and demure. Oh, you cry to whoever will listen. But you also were able to take a body and throw it into the river, So, wow. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Right? SHARON: Enough, Phyllis. Just stop, okay? You could be using this energy to try to find a way out of here. But no, not this time. This time, you’re scared. This time, you’re helpless. And like the bully that you are, you have to take it out on me. But you know, you don’t have PCP in your system. No. This is who you really are. Just an endless stream of hate and rage. It’s what gets you up in the morning. And when you faked your own death and put your children through hell, that was you, too. I spent so much time making that up to my children. My children have forgiven me, Sharon. They barely let you back into their lives. I doubt they’re gonna forget what you did anytime soon. You know, your spite was more important to you than your children. And yeah, I may harbor some resentment at one point or another, but it takes poison in my blood for that to come out. But with you, you are the poison! And any other time or place, I would tell you to choke on it! But today, in this circumstance, I just want to get out of here. I want to be able to tell my family that I’m gonna be okay. So do you want to keep tearing into me just to make yourself feel better? Or do you want to do something useful? Do you want to get out of here so that we never have to speak to each other ever again? You know, there’s nothing I would want more than to get out of here, that’s for sure. And nothing I would want more… than to take you out. And I think that that’s what they want, whoever that is. But I’m not doing it. You know why? Because I make my own choice! I am not a victim! I want to get home. I want to see my kids. I want to… I just want to continue on with my life. I want to get out of here. What does that mean exactly? What do you think it means? It means we have to work together. We have to work together to get out of here. That’s the first thing you’ve said that we can agree on. [feedback blaring] Okay! You’ve made your point! You can stop now! [soft jazz music playing] What is happening? Whoever this is is really, really dramatic. They set the stage. We’re the cast and this is… This is the scene and they have the soundtrack. Hey, you freak! What do you want? What’s wrong with you? We haven’t put on enough of a show for you! You freak! Do you get off on this? Kidnapping two beautiful women! Beautiful women! You perv! Stop. Shh. Just stop for a second. Does this music sound familiar to you? I don’t know. What is it? A listening party, Sharon? It could be a message. I don’t care. I really don’t care anymore. No, I meant it. Stop. Stop. This music is getting to you. You’ve become more tense. What? I was so chill before. What? Did you black out the last hour? Think! Where have you heard this song before? I don’t care. I don’t know and I don’t care. They picked this music on purpose. It’s part of the game. PHYLLIS: No. I don’t care about their game. They can shove their game. Open the door! I swear when I get out of here, I will rip off your arms and I will take your head and bash it in! Open!

[music stopping]

[Sharon gasping] That was a mistake. You don’t know that. Maybe they want this. Maybe this is what they want. If this is a game, what are the teams? It’s us against them. They don’t know what we’re capable of. Then we’re gonna have to show them. What do you say, Phyllis? You want to play? Yeah. Why the hell not? Okay. We’re listening. What are the rules? Let’s get started. MODULATED VOICE: Now, we’re getting somewhere. Hello. Nice to meet you. What’s your name? MODULATED VOICE: Not important. Well, it is to us. What is your name? MODULATED VOICE: This is about the two of you. No one else. And yes, you have to work as a team in this game. What is the goal? How do we know when we’ve won? What’s the prize? MODULATED VOICE: Staying alive. Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc. Captioning provided by Bell Dramatic Serial Company, Sony Pictures Television and CBS, Inc.

[feedback blaring] SHARON: Ah! [Sharon panting] Oh, no. No, no, no. Please. Oh, no! It’s okay. I’m okay. Hello? Is anyone there? [feedback blaring] Okay, you’ve got my attention! Tell me who you are! Is someone there? I don’t understand. I don’t– I– This place, what is this place? This doesn’t make any sense. I shouldn’t be here. I– What happened? What? What? Oh, my– my head. Is it drugs? Did you drug me? Why would you do that? Who are you? What do you want from me? I have to get home. I have to… Oh. Thank God. Thank God. No. Open. Open, open, please. No, no, no. Hello? Can anyone hear me? I’m locked in. Please help. Who are you? I can get you money, if that’s what you want. My name is Sharon. I have children. I have a granddaughter. If this is a real kidnapping, you chose me for a reason. Tell me what it is. Just tell me what you want. You can have it. Anything. Just let me out of here. If you can hear me, then make that sound again, please. Maybe there’s no one there. Maybe this isn’t real. Maybe the drugs are still in my system from before. Maybe they’ll always be with me. Maybe I’m just losing my mind. I’ve just worked so hard. I’m on my real meds now. No. I’ve done all the work. I didn’t come this far just to lose my mind now. No. No. This is real. This is real. This is really happening. I haven’t seen your face. I don’t know who you are. I won’t tell a soul. I’ll just say– I’ll say that I needed time to myself. I will protect you. I swear. There will be people looking for me. You should run. You should run now. The people who tried to hurt me before, they’re all dead. Ian, Cameron, Jordan, they’re dead. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that. I shouldn’t have said that. It… There has to be another way out of here. Okay. For Mariah and Faith and Noah and Tessa and Aria and Nicholas. You have to stay calm. Okay, there has to be a way out. There has to be a way out of here. Yes. Yes. Hello? Hello? Anyone hear me? [Sharon gasping] Who is it? Oh, no, no. Dear God. This can’t be like before. This can’t be like with Heather. Phyllis. Oh, my God. Please be breathing. Please be breathing. Please. Please. Oh, my God. Phyllis. Phyllis, wake up. You have to wake up. Can you hear me? Phyllis. Phyllis.

Wake up.

[Phyllis inhaling] Can you hear me? Oh, hell no. Easy. Come on. Let me help you. Can you get up? Easy now. Got it? Let go. It’s okay. Look, it was disorienting for me, too.

Are you okay?

Where are we? What did you do to me? I– I didn’t do anything to you. Wait– What… What did– what did you do to me, Sharon? Why on earth would I do anything to you, Phyllis? We’re obviously both stuck here. Someone put us here. I don’t know why. I didn’t think it was real at first. I thought maybe I was having another hallucination, but no. You are here, and you are very much your normal self. Is this payback? Is this phase two? You know what? You’re really not making any sense. Maybe you hit your head. You got rid of Heather. I didn’t kill her, and you know that. You didn’t kill her, but you got rid of her in the most despicable way. Sharon, you know that drugs or no drugs, you want to do the same to me right now, don’t you? Because I’m always the one who’s going to call you out. That’s right, Phyllis. Because your one purpose in life is to harass me every day, even now, even when we’re stuck in here. The only thing you can think to do is blame me. It’s all about you, isn’t it? You know what? Maybe this is your doing, and you’re lying to me. This is your revenge. Are you kidding me? If I wanted to inflict pain upon you, I’d do it from afar so I wouldn’t have to look at your face. Really? Because I think you would want to see my misery up close. The charges against me were dropped. You said that you could never accept that, so now you want to make me suffer and you arrange this, whatever this is. I was unconscious on the floor. I woke up to you looking down at me. You could have been faking. You lie like you breathe, no effort at all. You’re so deranged. You know what? I’m getting out of here. How do we get out of here? I’m doing it myself. There’s a door, be my guest, but it’s locked. [doorknob rattling] Oh, my God! Yeah, it’s locked. [Phyllis panting] We’re trapped. Oh, my God. We’re trapped. If you didn’t think we were trapped, if you knew this was real, you would be crying right now, climbing the walls, begging for someone to save you. This is real, Phyllis, and the reason I’m not freaking out is because I’m a little bit numb at this point. But yeah, this is really happening. Of course it is, and of course I would have to get trapped in a room with you of all people because nothing in my life can be easy or normal for more than like two weeks. PHYLLIS: Open the door. Oh, my God. It doesn’t even move. Open the door. You have– You’re behind this. You have the key.

I’m not behind it.

Give me the key.

Oh, my God. Do–

Where do you have it? Do you want to lose a hand right now? Give me the key so that I can get out of here. I don’t have a key. You did this. Okay, come on. Sharon, oh, my God, for the last time, open the door. Sharon, please. Are you done with your fun? Just open the door. Do you get it now, Phyllis? We are stuck in here and whoever put us in here is out there. Now, you say that you’re not behind this. I’m not. I’m not either. [feedback blaring] [Sharon groaning] What is that? It happened before. You slept through it. No one could sleep through that. Except you did. Oh, right. I’m going to have to take your word for it, except you can’t be trusted. Phyllis, we do not have time for your paranoia right now. We’re in here, and whoever did this to us is out there. Except they’re making that sound on purpose. And they can hear us. They can hear us. Hey! Hey, psycho! Do you think this is funny? Who did this? That guy Ian? Or Jordan? I thought they died. They died, didn’t they? They definitely did. Nick saw Ian die from a gunshot, and Jordan poisoned herself. So, who is it? Is it one of their psycho followers? And they’re trying to get back at us for some reason? I don’t know. It’s possible they met some people in prison, or these are followers from Ian’s cult days, still following old orders. Maybe they’re trying to carry out some mission. But to what end? I don’t– I don’t understand this. And why me? Why me? Why would I be a part of it? Why me? Let me go! Keep her!

Oh, my God!

Phyllis. Phyllis, stop it!

Why me?

This isn’t a game. This is serious, and this is dangerous,

and anything that you say…

Um. …could come back to bite us. I’m gonna have to ask you to let go of me, please? Gladly. You’re gonna have to calm down. I’m calm! Is this funny? I’m calm! We need to figure out why we’re here, who did this to us, and why’d they lock us up together. It’s definitely not because we’re friends. Maybe that’s the point. Maybe they just want to watch us kill each other. Maybe that’s the point. For us to turn on each other, fight to the death. Okay, if that was the point, it’d take me, like, two minutes. This isn’t a joke, Phyllis. I’m not joking. It’d take me, like, two minutes. Uh, I’d like this to be over, please. Um, I have a life. I have kids. I have a new job. I don’t really have time for this, thanks, but, um, I’m done. They’ll for sure open the door now. Well, some of us are resourceful, you know? Some of us take matters into our own hands, you know, and make things happen, and others, like yourself, wait for someone to rescue them, like you always do. I’m gonna get us out of here. You just love to make me sound as pathetic as possible, as if I didn’t save myself and my daughter from a homicidal maniac. Do you know how to pick a lock? That’s good. Did you break it? Did you just stand there doing nothing? Oh, yeah, definitely get in some easy reading at this time. You expecting a key to fall out of one of those books? That would be useless now that you’ve jammed the lock. What I’d like to hear is, “Hey, Phyllis, you showed some initiative. “You’re resourceful, Phyllis. “You’re my idol, Phyllis.” Oh, hang on a minute.

What?

Look at this. Look. What, this? Property of Havenhurst Psychiatric Clinic. Havenhurst.

It’s all Havenhurst.

Same with these. That’s where we are. But you know this place, right? I’m just saying. You know. Maybe you had your own room. Maybe they kept you away from everyone and all the sharp objects. Okay, that’s enough, Phyllis. Yes, I have spent some time in clinics, and no, not this one. There’s nothing shameful about getting treatment when you need help. What’s shameful is inflicting your nastiness on everyone around you. You got me. Yeah, I do. So now, can we just focus on the situation here? We are never going to get out of here. Our only hope at this point is to figure out who did this. Why? Why us, and why here? Problem solving is my superpower. Jerk. Let’s go sit down. Let’s go sit down. Let’s go sit down. Okay, so… do you remember where you were before this? Yes, I was at Crimson Lights. I was working, and then I went out to run some errands. You know, it’s dark out now, but it can’t have been the same night, can it? I know. I feel the same way. I mean, where I was before this is I was, um, I was in my suite, I was sleeping, and I was having some really, really wild dreams. I mean, wild. I had to wake up and kind of shake it off. I was having strange dreams, too. Maybe both of us had already been drugged by that point. I mean, they had to knock us out to get us in here. You know, I was planning to have breakfast with my kids the day after. That’s good. Good. By now, they’d be worried about you, and they’ll come looking for you. I mean, it’s good that they’re, not that they’re worried, but that, you know, they’ll look for you. I know. Or, I don’t know. Maybe, maybe they think I just took off like I did before and they’re mad. Phyllis, I’m sure that they don’t feel that way. Don’t, don’t, don’t act like you care, okay, about me, please. I wouldn’t dare. Trust me. What about your kids? Do you think they’re looking for you? Um, I can’t be sure. Mariah may have tried to contact me about Cassidy First. Faith was having a sleepover at a friend’s house, and then she had a day trip planned. She may have tried to reach out to me by now. We can’t have been gone for more than one day,

can we?

PHYLLIS: I don’t know. I know our kids will be worried. Especially after everything they’ve already been through. And they’d start panicking. SHARON: No matter how big they get, they need to know that they can count on Mom. I know, and when they don’t, and they don’t feel that way, all hell breaks loose. You know, it’s one thing to do this to us,

to try to frighten us.

PHYLLIS: I know, but to do this to our kids, that pisses me off. Me too. I’ve had enough of this. Enough. I guess it’s too much to ask that we have our phones. Yeah. That’s– that’s the game. Is that the game right now? Hide and seek with our phones? All right. Game on. Let’s go. How long do you think this place has been closed? Seriously? You’ve never heard of this place? Oh, give it a rest, Phyllis. I would assume that you’d know of these places. Yeah, I got it the first time because I’ve spent so much time in clinics. Because you’re a therapist. You’d know of these places. Oh. Yeah, and you admitted that we’re probably here because of you. Well, maybe somebody thought that it was finally time that you get the help that you need. Oh, that’s right. You did get treatment a long time ago, didn’t you? Just look for your phone, Sharon. Don’t try to get my head. It’s probably as dark and scary a place as it is in here. You know what they call that? They call that projection. Yeah. You know about that, projection? Or did you miss that class because you were having one of your fainting spells? You know, I could always give you some free talk therapy while we’re in here. I mean, I would never diagnose someone without an in-depth conversation and history because that would be unprofessional, but… borderline personality disorder comes to mind, and narcissism. If the goal is for us to kill each other, you’re making it really easy. You know, it makes my skin crawl, the idea of somebody watching us and listening to us and judging. I don’t know. Are we supposed to get along? Are we supposed to argue? I mean, what’s the game?

I don’t understand the game.

SHARON: Hold on. I found something here. There is food and a can opener here. How old is that food? Well, nothing’s expired. This is not from before. Is it like– like a gift from the host? How long do they expect us to be here? Mm-hmm. You can have the stuff that’s in the can.

I’m gonna hydrate with water.

No! Stop it!

There’s a lot.

You cannot drink that, Phyllis! My God. There’s a lot there. No, that’s how I was drugged before in the sewer. It was the water. There was PCP in the water, and I drank some before I realized it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you. You’re welcome. We don’t know for sure who is behind this. Maybe it has nothing to do with Ian. Maybe whoever did this is someone from your past. Uh, okay, well, in that case, we can drink the water. We might have no choice but to drink at some point. We’ll find out then. We have to work together to get out of here. Okay? So then we can drink water from normal people.

Agreed.

Mm-hmm. PHYLLIS: Were you like this before? Like, calm like this?

In the sewer?

In the sewer, yeah. The sewer. That must have been horrible. So, Ian’s game was to get rid of you? Is that what it was? So that Mariah would want to be with him and he would be a father figure to her again? I guess so. Oh, yeah, and then, then he enlisted Claire’s aunt to join him and play along? It was a plan that only made sense to them. I just wish, uh, I wish that Ian had been the one who was chained up. That way I could have gotten some answers maybe, but then Victor shot him. Anyway, at least Ian is where he belongs now. In hell. Wow. It’s like Heather really did die for no reason. Because of some vendetta that had nothing to do with her. I hate it. It’s like this hand around my heart. It’s always there, squeezing some days more than others. Daniel had to lose the woman he loves. Lucy lost her mother and you. You had to watch the people you love suffer. And you helped them cover their tracks. You helped them with their plan without even really knowing it. You helped them run me off the road. Every day I thought I was being responsible for my illness. Taking my medication. And I was poisoning myself. When I look back at that and realize that every day my free will was being taken away from me. My sense of judgment, of decency. I did some horrible things.

Don’t they teach you about accountability in therapy, Sharon? Because it seems like you’re really just letting yourself off the hook again. You know all of this. I was drugged.

I’m sorry about everything I said, everything I did. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. You know, the PCP didn’t make you attack other people in town. It just made you attack my family. That’s all. [Phyllis sighing] Lucy lost her mom because of Ian Ward, but she almost lost her father because of you. You had so many opportunities to speak out. You had so many opportunities and you didn’t do it. It’s like human decency took a back seat to the need, this need that you have to attack my family.

And I see you, your eyes well up and your bottom lip quivers and you act so innocent and demure. Oh, you cry to whoever will listen. But you also were able to take a body and throw it into the river, So, wow. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Right? SHARON: Enough, Phyllis. Just stop, okay? You could be using this energy to try to find a way out of here. But no, not this time. This time, you’re scared. This time, you’re helpless. And like the bully that you are, you have to take it out on me. But you know, you don’t have PCP in your system. No. This is who you really are. Just an endless stream of hate and rage.

Do you want to get out of here so that we never have to speak to each other ever again? You know, there’s nothing I would want more than to get out of here, that’s for sure. And nothing I would want more… than to take you out. And I think that that’s what they want, whoever that is. But I’m not doing it. You know why? Because I make my own choice! I am not a victim! I want to get home. I want to see my kids. I want to… I just want to continue on with my life. I want to get out of here. What does that mean exactly? What do you think it means? It means we have to work together. We have to work together to get out of here. That’s the first thing you’ve said that we can agree on. [feedback blaring] Okay! You’ve made your point! You can stop now! [soft jazz music playing] What is happening? Whoever this is is really, really dramatic. They set the stage. We’re the cast and this is… This is the scene and they have the soundtrack. Hey, you freak! What do you want? What’s wrong with you? We haven’t put on enough of a show for you! You freak! Do you get off on this? Kidnapping two beautiful women! Beautiful women! You perv! Stop. Shh. Just stop for a second. Does this music sound familiar to you? I don’t know. What is it? A listening party, Sharon? It could be a message. I don’t care. I really don’t care anymore. No, I meant it. Stop. Stop. This music is getting to you. You’ve become more tense. What? I was so chill before. What? Did you black out the last hour? Think! Where have you heard this song before? I don’t care. I don’t know and I don’t care. They picked this music on purpose. It’s part of the game. PHYLLIS: No. I don’t care about their game. They can shove their game. Open the door! I swear when I get out of here, I will rip off your arms and I will take your head and bash it in! Open!

[Sharon gasping] That was a mistake. You don’t know that. Maybe they want this. Maybe this is what they want. If this is a game, what are the teams? It’s us against them. They don’t know what we’re capable of. Then we’re gonna have to show them. What do you say, Phyllis? You want to play? Yeah. Why the hell not? Okay. We’re listening. What are the rules? Let’s get started. MODULATED VOICE: Now, we’re getting somewhere. Hello. Nice to meet you. What’s your name? MODULATED VOICE: Not important. Well, it is to us. What is your name? MODULATED VOICE: This is about the two of you. No one else. And yes, you have to work as a team in this game. What is the goal? How do we know when we’ve won? What’s the prize? MODULATED VOICE: Staying alive.
