Recap written by Suzanne

Finn has a flashback to Poppy begging him not to tell Steffy that Luna is his daughter. Steffy tells him that she loved their anniversary celebration the previous night, but she wonders what kept him up all night, tossing and turning. After she goes to work, he wonders how he can tell her about Luna.

Poppy texts on her phone, sitting at the counter at Il Giardino. Deacon can tell she’s feeling down. They chat about Luna. He knows that Poppy is Luna’s mom, so she still loves her.  He wonders if Luna would have turned out differently, had she known her father (whom he thinks is Tom). Poppy has to leave, so Deacon tells her that her coffee is free. She visits Finn in his office. He wants to know why Luna wasn’t at the prison. Her only concern is whether he told Steffy or not. He yells at her more about keeping him from Luna all these years and also mentions that since she was older than him, she shouldn’t have slept with him. They both wonder why they can’t see Luna at the prison. He tells her that he will definitely be telling Steffy the truth, even though he worries about how she’ll take it.

Luna lounges at Bill’s place, but she looks a bit upset. Bill comes in to tell her that the prison called him, to let her know that both Poppy and Finn tried to see her. She wonders why Finn was there, since he never visited her before. She has deep regret and sorrow about the things she did – especially to Steffy. They talk a little about Finn and Steffy, and what a great guy Finn is.

Ridge and Taylor kiss and talk about finding a permanent place to live together. Steffy comes in, pleased to see them being affectionate together. She tells them that her anniversary celebration with Finn was great. They talk about what Steffy and Finn have been through, particularly Luna. Steffy is confident that Luna will stay in jail forever.

Recap written by Suzanne

Finn and Poppy argue more about the fact that she didn’t tell him that he’s Luna’s father.

Finn goes to the prison, but they won’t tell him where Luna is. Finn phones Poppy, wondering where Luna is. She doesn’t know but asks him again not to tell Steffy the truth.

Luna tells Bill that Will and Electra were there, but she stayed out of sight. He’s worried that someone might find her there and reminds her that no one can see her or know she’s there. She hides when they hear someone else coming. It’s Liam, who notes that Bill is keeping the door unlocked again. They hug, talk about work a little, and Liam’s kids. Bill suggests they go out on the boat, so Liam agrees. He mentions that tonight is Steffy and Finn’s anniversary. Bill wonders how Liam feels about that. Liam is just glad she’s happy and remembers that she was locked in a cage not too long ago by “Luna, the psycho.” Luna, hiding nearby and listening, looks upset at that.

Brooke and Carter continue to chat about how the coup might have been wrong. He tells her that he needs to focus on the company, but Brooke thinks that it’s wrong for Ridge and Eric not to be there at Forrester. He agrees, but points out that they made that choice. He apologizes, though, because he didn’t think that when he made her CEO, Ridge would turn to Taylor. She admits that she’s shocked at how quickly that happened. They know that Ridge felt betrayed. Later, Carter thinks about Steffy and Ridge signing the papers that led to the coup.

Ridge is on the phone with Justin, trying to find a way out of losing Forrester Creations. Justin tells him that nothing can be done legally. Ridge shares that news with Steffy. She tells Ridge that she intends to put an end to the “evil coup.” She thinks they will self-destruct, with help from Daphne. She points out that something good came of it – Ridge broke free of Brooke and went back to Taylor. He thanks her for always rooting for them. She has to leave because it’s her anniversary with Finn. He hugs her and wishes her a happy anniversary.

A little later, Brooke arrives; he thinks she’s there for Donna. She’s there to see him and tells him that she doesn’t want to be at odds with him. They still love each other and need to fix things. Ridge is belligerent and not softening to her, at all, still feeling betrayed. She tells him that she’s been working to get everyone back together, and talking to Carter about how wrong this is, and how bad it is for everyone. She apologizes for how all of it happened. He tells her how he felt to lose the company, and to be humiliated, by her and Carter. She tells him that it hurt her when he ran to Taylor. He refuses to talk about Taylor. She reminds him that their connection is always there, no matter what. She’s willing to fight for that.

Steffy goes home and flashes back to when Finn proposed on the beach. She wonders where he is as she lights romantic candles. Steffy steps on a toy, which reminds her of Finn rescuing her. Finn finally arrives, so they kiss. She gives him a glass of wine. She can tell that he seems tense. He groans because he forgot it was their anniversary, but she forgives him (thinking that it had to do with saving lives at work). She urges him to forget his bad day and tells him how she was thinking about his proposal, and how strong their bond is now. She admits that she also thought of Luna, and how he rescued her. She says that they have so much to look forward to. He stays quiet, so Steffy asks him what’s bothering him. He says that there’s something he needs to tell her.

Recap written by Suzanne

In his office, Finn and Poppy continue to argue about the fact that she never told Finn that Luna was his daughter. He blasts her for lying. She admits she was wrong, but she felt that it would ruin his life if she told him. He yells at her for being selfish, saying that she raised a murderer. He mentions how things might have been for him and Luna. He says this changes everything. He wants to tell Steffy the truth, but she begs him to keep it a secret. She points out that their lives will be ruined if it comes out (especially with Steffy and Li).

At Bill’s mansion, Will fills Electra in on Luna’s history as Luna listens from nearby. Will wants to change the subject, saying that Luna is out of their lives for good.

Ridge and Taylor are kissing in the living room when Steffy returns. They discuss her plan to get Forrester back from Carter and Hope. She’s impatient and wants to get it back soon. She hopes Carter knows that what he did was wrong, but Ridge thinks he knows already. Steffy blames Hope for manipulating Carter. Ridge says that Carter stabbed them in the back. Steffy wonders if Carter has forgiven himself and if he feels guilty. Ridge says he doesn’t seem like the same good guy he used to be. Steffy thinks it’s eating away at him; she hopes he’s the same man, deep down. She declares that, either way, they’ll be gone soon

Carter chats on the phone with someone about leather accessories. Brooke walks in and admires how comfortable he looks in Ridge’s chair. She’s impressed. Carter wishes Ridge could have understood his vision. She wonders how Carter feels and if he has any regrets. He’s surprised that Brooke is asking this. She points out that the Forresters thought of him as family and reminds him of how Eric and Stephanie built the company. Carter says that he has no regrets. Forrester is doing well; Carter blames Steffy’s vendetta against the Logans, and Ridge’s short-sightedness. Brooke points out that he and Hope instituted a coup at the company. She wonders if she sacrificed too much. He knows that she means Ridge. She’s grateful that she was appointed CEO but wonders if Carter doesn’t feel that their actions are wrong.

Recap written by Suzanne

Finn confronts Poppy in his office about how she knew that Luna was his daughter and lied about it all these years. She makes excuses, but he shows her the second paternity test, proving it. She claims that she didn’t know for sure but suspected. She didn’t want to ruin his life – and his dreams of becoming a doctor. He agrees that he has a wonderful family and job, but yells in her face that she lied to him about having a daughter. Poppy is upset.

At Bill’s place, Luna sees her reflection in Will’s photo on the mantel. She starts to eat a sandwich, but then she hears Will and Electra, coming, so she hides and eavesdrops nearby. Will calls around for Bill, who’s not there. He notices that someone made a sandwich and is doing laundry, but it’s not like Bill to do those things. He wonders what Bill’s “secret project” is. He talks about what Bill went through with Luna, thinking he had a daughter, so Luna looks sad.Electra is shocked to hear that Bill had children he didn’t know about and that one of them is in prison.

Carter, Daphne, and Hope are in his office. He had been smelling fragrances on Daphne’s neck. Hope is not at all jealous or upset. Carter can’t decide on the fragrance, so Hope smells Daphne’s neck and chooses the second one, which Carter agrees with. She and Carter stand very close together, like a couple. Hope talks about when to roll out the perfume line. When Carter and Hope talk about their plans, Daphne calls Carter a “visionary.” They refer to Daphne by her nickname, “the nose of Paris. After she leaves, Carter and Hope talk about how lucky they are to have found her. They kiss, but when they hug, Carter looks doubtful. They kiss passionately, but he still has a guilty look on his face.

Steffy and Zende continue to chat in her office. He still wants to know what she has planned, to get Forrester Creations back from Carter. Steffy won’t give him the details but says that she has planned to introduce a “wrecking ball” into Hope and Carter’s relationships. Daphne arrives, so Zende flirts with her and then leaves. Daphne says that Carter and Hope are very connected. Steffy suggests that they try a different plan: to convince Carter that Hope is using him.

Poppy is at Il Giardino, thinking back to her telling Finn that he’s not Luna’s father. Li arrives, having been called by Poppy. Li keeps apologizing for accusing her of sleeping with her husband. Poppy looks like she feels guilty for not telling her that she slept with Finn. Instead, Poppy tells Li that Luna is missing from the prison and no one will tell her where she went. Poppy is called away by a phone call from Finn.

In his office, Finn is upset that the paternity test he took shows that he’s Luna’s father. He takes another test. Still upset, he calls Poppy. She arrives, and they argue because she insists that he not tell anyone that they slept together years ago. He shows her that he took the test. He feels betrayed because she lied to him.

Luna enjoys hanging out at Bill’s (even though she’s wearing an ankle monitor). She eats chocolates and lounges around. The flyer for Tom Starr’s concert falls out of her magazine, dampening her mood. She is still upset that he might be her father.

Steffy and Hope continue to argue about what Steffy might be up to. Zende comes in the office, so Hope praises his latest designs for Hope For The Future. Steffy agrees with her. Hope leaves. Zende and Steffy conspire. He tries to get her to tell him what plan she’s set in motion to get Forrester back from Carter and Hope, but she won’t do more than hint.

Daphne continues to flirt with Carter in his office. He seems distracted by her scent. He asks which perfume they should choose to roll out first, so she dabs a little bit of each on her neck and asks him to make the choice. He smells each one. Just then, Hope walks in, but she smiles. She’s not upset. She asks what they’re up to.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Well, I hope you have a wonderful Turkey Day, too, Mother. And please send Roger my regards.

[doorbell rings] I should take this. I love you.

[suspenseful music]

Well, it’s definitely not mutual. You can take my word on that.

[chuckles] What the hell do you want?


[phone line trilling]

[phone ringing]

Hey, Javi, did you get those dinner rolls Gabi wanted?

No, I’m here at the pub, but they’re closed. Sign says private event. You want me to try a bodega for some bolillos?

Mm, Gabi was really counting on those rolls. Hey, you know what? The Salem Inn, I think they use the same supplier. Maybe you can go to their kitchen and beg for some.

I’ll try, but it’ll be a little tough on Thanksgiving.

[soft dramatic music]

[phone beeps]


[door opens]

Oh! [laughs]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh, happy Thanksgiving, baby! But what–what are you doing on my doorstep? You’re supposed to be at the DiMera castle.

I am, but we have a tradition to uphold.

Aw, chocolate turkey.

Big Mama’s special yearly treats.

Oh, this just might have been your favorite part of the holiday.

Mm, maybe my second, like, right after your sweet potato pie. Some of which I hope you will have saved for me for when I come back by later.

Oh, I will save a big piece for you, my darling.

[chuckles] So how is everything? How’s Abe? Is he feeling better?

Oh, yeah, he’s resting right now. But praise be, he is doing much better.

OK, good. God, that was so scary, right? Everyone from the show getting those nasty-ass cupcakes?

Ugh.

Johnny, he’s almost back to normal, too.

Oh, well, that’s a shame.

[tense music]

No, Mom, it’s fine. I really– I don’t mind being alone. No, the Bradys, they did– they invited me, but I would have felt like the extra wheel. I told you why I couldn’t come home to New York. I’m really busy with work. I’ve got a lot of dialogue to memorize. I need to get ahead of that. Mom, what kind of question is that? Mom, of course I am staying away from married men.

[soft dramatic music]


[clears throat]


[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”


So it’s a shame that my husband is feeling better? Is that a nice thing to say?

Was calling my daughter a cheating slut a nice thing to say?

Oh, Mama, did it occur to you that I don’t need to be reminded of what he called me and that you saying this to me again right now could be triggering?

OK, yeah. Well, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. And I don’t want to upset you, so I won’t say those words again. But that young man, he did say those words right to your face, Chanel! And not that, you know, I wish anything seriously bad to happen to him, but, you know, a little bit of food poisoning is the least he deserves for insulting you like that! Now, that boy, he needs to learn a lesson.

He has learned his lesson, Mama. He feels terrible about what he said to me, and he feels terrible in general about being so stupidly jealous. And he made a complete fool of himself when he confronted me right before his surprise birthday party, no less. Don’t you think that’s punishment enough, huh? And don’t you think that this is between Johnny and me, and that you should maybe, just maybe, just stay out of it?

Fine, fine, fine. But don’t expect me to be all warm and fuzzy towards that husband of yours because I am not at all happy with him.

OK, well, you’re not going to be at all happy with me when I tell you that Johnny and I have decided to work things out. So what he said to me, that is all in the past. I have put it behind me, and I am completely over it.

[tense music]

[soft dramatic music]

Mom, I have to go. Yeah, Happy Thanksgiving, too. I love you. Looks like somebody made a full recovery.

Yeah. Yeah, I’m fine. Guess Chanel must have told you how sick I got from that damn cupcake.

She did. [chuckles] It’s not all she told me.

What? What else did she tell you?

She said that after she got you to bed, you were talking in your sleep. About me.


She told you that?

She did. She thought it was because you’re so hyper-focused on work, you’re even dreaming about it.

Yeah, well, that’s how I explained it to her. I told her it was about the show, and she bought it, thank God.

Great. Yeah, she definitely bought it. So can I guess what the dream was about?

Can we please just not go there?

Fine. Fine, you don’t have to tell me. Johnny, there is something that I need to tell you, something you should know.

What? What? What? What should I know?

Um…


I told somebody about us.

[tense music]

See you.

Javi, wait. Thank you. I think.

What?

That look, it’s murderous. God help me, it only makes you hotter.

No, I meant to say what do you want? I’m in a hurry.

I wanted to say that I’m sorry for accusing you of stealing my stories.

[scoffs] Yeah, tell me something I don’t already know. And if I wasn’t interested in your apology last night, why would I be interested in taking it today? I want nothing to do with you, Leo. Getting together with you was a big mistake.

No, it wasn’t. Javi, I have a PhD in mistakes. I make about a million of them a day, so I know mistakes. And us being together was not a mistake. I mean, before I was an idiot and accused you of something I know you had nothing to do with… it was great between us. We had a very real connection.

Yeah, I thought so, too, until you turned on me, until you made me feel like two cents, which is the last thing I needed and which I do not put up with from anyone. Have a nice life.


[sighs]

So you’ve forgiven Johnny? Is that what you’re saying?

[sighs] What, am I supposed to be mad at him forever? He’s my husband. And, well, seeing him sick like that last night, all I wanted to do was just wrap my arms around him and just make him feel better. And it reminded me of how much I love that man and how I don’t want to waste any more time being angry with him. It’s like you always say, life is too short. And Johnny, he is a good person. He is generous and kind. And, well, aside from all of that, he– he makes me laugh. And didn’t you always used to say if someone could make you laugh, they have your heart?

[soft dramatic music] Hmm?

Yeah, I did.

OK, well, Johnny, he has my heart, Mama. And, yes, he made a mistake, but Lord knows I have made my fair share of mistakes. And you have, too, from time to time.

Me? Oh, never. [chuckles]

Mama, I know that you are only being protective of me, and I really do appreciate that. So could you please just try and see it from my point of view and just try to understand that Johnny had a lapse in judgment? That is all, OK? It’s not like he cheated on me. He made a really dumb mistake. And, I mean, the worst that came of it was the big fight that we had on set. But other than that, nothing bad happened.

[sighs] Well, as long as you’re happy, baby, that’s all I care about.

Yes. And I am happy, Mama. I am. I love my husband with all my heart. And I know that we are going to be just fine from now on.

[somber music]


[soft upbeat music]

Huh. Oh, my God. You told someone about us?


Who? Who was it? Your mother? Your father?

No.

Then who?

Why does it matter?

Of course it matters. And, Joy, I don’t understand. You were the one who was so worried about this getting out. You didn’t want to ruin your reputation, you didn’t want to lose your new job.

But I know! I’m sorry, but you are not the only person feeling guilty and miserable about this. It was really getting to me. I didn’t realize how badly I needed somebody to talk to, but I did. It just slipped out.

OK, then who did you tell? Who did who did you tell, damn it?

Don’t worry, OK? He’s not going to say anything.

He? He?

It was Alex.

[tense music]

[sighs]


Leo. Hey.

Hey, Alex. How’s the private event?

Oh, it’s not a private event. It’s just Thanksgiving with the Bradys.

Oh, so no big spread at the Kiriakis estate, huh?

No, not this year. Turkey went up in smoke.

Oh, well, that’s a shame, whatever that means. So why aren’t you in there celebrating?

Well, Stephanie’s in there, too, and things just got a little awkward.

Still? Even after I nudged the two of you together the other night at the Small Bar, it didn’t magically make all your problems go away?

No, it didn’t. [sighs] But this isn’t because of what happened between us on the hospital set.

Well, then what is it?

My cousin Philip’s in there. And I just got word that he and Stephanie used to be engaged.

Seriously?

Seriously. They just took a stroll down memory lane for the last hour, and I could handle about ten seconds of it before I decided I needed to get some air.

Yeah, well, welcome to the I need some air club. [chuckles] Although I could probably use a lobotomy to ease the pain and humiliation that I’m suffering, which I brought on by myself, by the way. Oh, Alex, what is life but one long, forced march, often in ill-fitting shoes, enduring endless misery, countless humiliations, one after another after another until finally and mercifully, it all just fades into nothingness? Wow, I just made Debbie Downer seem like a cockeyed optimist.

Yeah. Yeah, you kind of did. [chuckles] Seriously, you seem more bummed than I am.

I am more bummed than I have ever been, which is saying something. Because not only do I have a PhD in mistakes, I also have one in bummed-outedness, which is a hard thing to say.

Mm. But you managed. So what’s going on, man? Why you so bummed?

[quirky suspenseful music]

In a nutshell, I just blew it with Señor Right.


I got the rolls Gabi wanted. Ooh, what smells so good?

Oh, hopefully, everything. I’ve got, like, five or six things cooking right now. This right here, this, Mama’s camote enmielado.

The candied sweet potatoes?

Mm-hmm.

[sighs] Can dinner be now? [chuckles] Dios mío.No.

Yeah?

You keep that away from me. I can’t afford for the six-pack to turn into a keg.

No, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no. [laughter] Hey, where is everyone, anyway?

Yeah, Gabi had to run an errand. And Jada is still at work. But hopefully, everyone’s going to be here soon and then we can dig in. Were you serious about me keeping that away from you? Just curious.

No, you’re right. I need you to save me from myself. [laughter]

So how was it out there? Quiet?

Not quiet enough. I bumped into Leo, unfortunately.

I guess that means you’re still angry about the whole Lady Whistleblower thing.

Yeah, damn right, I am. I mean, how dare he accuse me of stealing his stupid stories and talking to me like that? I mean, Gabi was right about him. And telling me to avoid him like the plague. Such a jerk.

I came to get some things I left here, but my key doesn’t work.

Huh. Glad to know that locksmith was worth the money.

You had the locks changed?

Best way I know how to keep out the riff-raff.

Oh. Well, key or no key, this riff-raff is coming in because her property is still upstairs. So unless you want me to call my soon-to-be sister-in-law, who happens to be the new commissioner of police–

[sighs] You’re pathetic. First, your brother loses his job. Now, you’ve misplaced some of your belongings. Gracious me, Gabriella, people in your family certainly have a hard time holding onto things.

Mm. Well, I’m not nearly as easygoing as my brother. When someone takes something from me, I make sure to take it back.

You’re not going anywhere. Not until you apologize.


Well, I should get going, Mama. I don’t want to be late for dinner at Chez DiMera.

[laughs] Well, I hope you all get to eat as good as we do.

Now, you know we won’t.

[chuckles]

But I will try to make the best of it.

Well, at least you’ll be able to get some good dessert when you get back. And you better get back because Eli and Lani are on their way with the kids. And you know they do love their Auntie Chanel.

I love them, too, those little angels. And you know I’m not going to miss seeing them or my sister or Eli.

Mm-hmm. Better not.

And I have enough extra chocolate turkeys for everyone.

Yeah, well, as long as you’re here to help Jules and Carver unwrap theirs.

Oh, I will be.

[laughs]

All right. I love you, Mama.

Oh, I love you more, baby.

See you later.

[chuckles] OK. [sighs] Later.

Later.

Uh-huh. [chuckles]

[tense music] [door closes]


You already demanded an apology from me, remember?

Mm, that was for accusing me of destroying your marriage. And instead of an apology, I got a slap in the face. And now, you owe me two apologies.

I don’t think so. And you’re lucky all you got was a slap after you admitted that you drove Stefan to divorce me.

Oh, please. I only said what I said because you were being completely irrational. It’s psychology 0, Gabi. When someone has gone that far off the rails, just agree with everything they say, no matter how absurd, before they pick up a sharp object and start making real trouble.

You swine.

Mm.

You cost me precious time with Stefan when you railroaded me and sent me to prison. And then you cost me my marriage when you made my divorce your endgame.

Mm. And you don’t believe it’s because you seduced me?

Everything you did, you did because you thinkI’ve ruined things for you and Nicole.

Because you didruin things between me and Nicole.

Am I supposed to believe that you didn’t want your revenge?

[tense music] [EJ chuckles]

[takes deep breath] It’s Thanksgiving, Gabriella. So be grateful for the few marbles that you have left. Meanwhile, I am no closer to getting either one of those apologies that you owe me.

[scoffs] Are you kidding me? Me owe you an apology? You’re the one who should be apologizing to me. In fact, you should grovel. You should get down on your hands and knees and beg forgiveness for the pain you’ve caused me.


So I take it this guy Javi didn’t enjoy you accusing him of stealing your stories and running them in “The Spectator.”

No, he didn’t. But all of the evidence added up. I mean, there was no way it wasn’t him. It was the only explanation that made any sense.

But now you’re saying you don’t think it was him?

Right. Because he picked apart my accusation point by point like some sort of ninja sharpshooter. Made it sound insane that I would even think it was him in the first place. And now, I kind of believe him.

You still do?

Yes, to my utter humiliation and self-hatred.

Mm. Well, then it sounds like maybe an apology is in order for this guy, Javier.

I tried. I sent him flowers. He slammed his door in my face.

Oof.

And now, my love life is up in smoke and so is my career.

Well, Leo, I’m sorry about this guy, really, but there’s definitely something you can do about your career.

Like what?

Like find who the hell this new Lady Whistleblower is who’s stealing your stories and stop her. Like right now.

[quirky suspenseful music]

[chuckling] Hey, you’re back.

Oh, yes. And it feels so good to be back. [both smooch and sigh] Mm, these yams smell amazing.

They taste even better.

[sighs] So are you excited about your first Salem Thanksgiving?

You know it.

I was starting to worry that you weren’t going to make dinner.

Oh, come on, I would never let that happen. And let’s hope that I am done with interruptions for the day.

Doubtful. You see, the commissioner’s work is never done, not even on holidays. Hate to break it to you.

Yeah, well, maybe I’ll get a break, you know, in tracking down this cupcake culprit, who may or may not be Hattie Adams. You know, Paulina’s been really hounding on me. And for the moment, I’ve got nothing.

Mm.

[sighs]

Well, consolation prize.

Mm.

Mm.

Mmm, mmm! Javi, you were right. This tastes way better than it looks.

I told you.

Mmm.

Well, as happy as I am to have been able to cook this feast for you…

Mm-hmm?

I am no longer going to have the time to do it.

Oh, no?

Nope. I actually got a job today.

[upbeat suspenseful music]


So let me get this straight. You told Alexwhat happened between us? Of all people, Alex?

Like I said, I didn’t plan on it. It’s just–I had been with you and Chanel that morning. Keeping this awful secret, it was really getting to me. I needed somebody to confide in.

But Alex and Chanel are friends now. You know that?

I know that, I know that.

Yeah.

That’s why he’s not going to say anything. He doesn’t want to hurt Chanel. And I know he won’t. He’s going to keep quiet about this, Johnny. I know he will.

Yeah, well, I hope you’re right.

Right about what?

[tense music]


Joy and I were just discussing the case of these tainted cupcakes.

And I said I hope they catch whoever did it soon.

Mm.

Oh, I see. Yeah, well, I am just glad that this whole baked goods incident had nothing to do with Sweet Bits this time.

Oh. What do you mean?

Well, there was an incident before. And it was an employee of mine who had an ax to grind and they used my business to do it. So now, you better believe that I do background checks on everyone. [Joy chuckles] I really trusted her and I thought she was my friend and then she just betrayed me.

Mm.

[soft upbeat music] Oh, great. You remembered the pie.

Yes.

Oh, I cannot believe that I forgot it this morning. You know, it would not be a good look and it wouldn’t make a good impression on the DiMeras if we didn’t bring the dessert that we promised.

Well, speaking of my family, although this is an American holiday, my father is irredeemably British, which means he likes to have a dinner that is exactly on time, so we better run. See you, Joy.

Right. Enjoy your holiday.

Oh.

You too.

What are your plans for today for Thanksgiving?

I am going to try the turkey club.

What? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. We cannot have that. You are coming to the house with us.

Oh, no. No, really, that’s OK. The Bradys actually invited me over for dinner, too, but I turned them down because I actually… prefer to be alone.

On Thanksgiving?

Mm-hmm.

What? No, that is crazy. And my mother would never forgive me if I left you here all alone. [Johnny and Joy chuckle]

She said she prefers to be alone, Chanel, so.

And I said that that is crazy. And I know that she’s only saying that because she doesn’t want to impose, which you would not be doing. We would love for you to join us.


I really–

And aside from the fact that I know that my mother would be furious if I didn’t insist that you did, we both also promised your mother that we would look out for you. And I think at the bare minimum, that means making sure that you don’t eat a boring old sandwich for Thanksgiving dinner. So you are coming with us, and I will not take no for an answer.

[tense music]


Oh, so you think I owe you an apology, do you?

Damn right, you do.

So I should just say how terribly sorry I am that you threw baseless accusations in my face and then assaulted me.

Those accusations were not baseless. You said so yourself. And for the record, you weren’t agreeing with me because I was being irrational. You were agreeing with me because I was right.

Right about what? That you took a torch to your marriage and somehow that was my fault?

I am not going to dignify that with a response, nor will I continue this stupid and pointless argument. However, when I come back downstairs, I’m going to expect some world-class groveling.

Yeah, you’re not going upstairs.

Oh, the hell I’m not.


[sighs]

So you got a job? Where?

You’re looking at Black Patch’s new field operative. Yes, I spoke to Steve Johnson today, and he agreed to take me on.

Wait, what’s Black Patch?

Mm… Black Patch is a private investigation firm that’s here in town. You’re probably too young to remember this, but I used to be a PI myself. I even had my own firm, yeah. And, well, Steve is happy to put my experience to work.

Well, they are lucky to have you, primo.

Thank you. [glasses clink]

Yeah, 00%. Congratulations.

Thank you, baby. Mwah.

Oh, you know what’s good news, is that you don’t have to feel guilty for stealing your boyfriend’s job anymore. Too soon?

Yeah, maybe a little. Yeah. And besides, she knows she has nothing to feel guilty about.

I know. I’m just teasing. [laughter] And I’m not going to lie. I am happy for you, cuz. It’s great.

Yeah.

Assuming that it won’t cause a problem for the two of you.


[quirky suspenseful music]

Come on, Leo. You have to realize that it’s not just your career on the line here. If those spoilers get out and they hurt the show’s ratings, everybody on “Body & Soul” is going to pay the price.

I know. I know, believe me. I am dying to stop that second-rate hack from riding my coattails, but I don’t know where to start.

Well, this phony counterfeit Lady Whistleblower works for “The Spectator,” right?

Yes. I have left Chadwick more messages than I can count, but I haven’t heard anything back. I thought about going to the police, but they have bigger problems to worry about than a spoiled soap opera plot, like figuring out who poisoned those cupcakes.

Yeah. Besides which, spoiling a soap opera plot isn’t technically a crime. But still, this phony Lady W needs to be held accountable.

Damn right, she does. And there has to be some way to make that happen, to track her down.


Look, I have faith in you, Leo. You’ll be able to track this little troublemaker down because when you had that job, you were the biggest sneak in town. You’ll root her out.

Well, I’m a rusty sneak now.

[phone beeps] [Alex chuckles]

Oh… yep, it’s my dad wondering where I disappeared to. I should probably get back in there. You want to come join us? We got plenty of food.

Weren’t you just saying I can’t waste a single moment eliminating that existential threat to our very livelihoods?

I think you can make time to eat, Leo. It’s Thanksgiving, for God’s sake.

Thanks, but I’m not going to be hungry or grateful until that imposter is found.

[suspenseful music]

What are you talking about?

Yeah, why would it be a problem if I work at Black Patch?

I was just thinking with Jada as commissioner and you investigating crimes as a PI, it seems like a head-on collision that anyone can see coming. I mean, won’t you be getting in each other’s way? It reminds me of this novela I used to watch, “Mi Corazon es mi Destino.”

“My Heart is my Destiny.”

You know it?

No.

Well, it’s amazing. You should watch it. Anyway, Camila Esparza was this hard-bitten detective who was always butting heads with Pedro Diaz, the PI, who was looking into the same cases that she was. And then they would be at each other’s throats.

Wait, but let me guess. In the end, they fall in love.

Mm.

Mm-hmm?

No. Eventually, she shoots him. B-by accident. But, you know, there was not a dry eye at his funeral.

Very uplifting. Thank you for sharing.


Sorry, I guess that was kind of a downer, huh? [chuckles] And hey, I am sure that it won’t happen to you.


[tense music]

Finally. And I hope you didn’t leave anything behind because you are never coming back here, got it?

As if I would want to! This place makes my skin crawl as much as you do.

Just leave, Gabi.

Oh, I am leaving. And on this Thanksgiving, I am grateful that I never have to see your miserable face again or spend another minute in this depressing mausoleum!

Nyeh, nyeh, nyeh, nyeh.


[groans] [takes deep breath]

Gabi certainly seemed to be in a hurry.

Yeah, the quicker, the better, as long as it’s away from me.

Johnny, you forgot the pie in the car.

Uh, sorry, I’ll–I’ll– I’ll go grab it.

Happy Thanksgiving, EJ.

Chanel, happy Thanksgiving. And Joy, it’s such a pleasure to see you again, although quite unexpected.

Oh, well, Joy didn’t have any plans for the holiday. And no one should be alone for Thanksgiving.

Of course. Welcome, Joy.

Thank you.

You know what? I am going to go help Johnny with that pie. And then I will be back and we’ll put it in the kitchen.

Sounds great. Joy, how about a drink?

Uh, sure.

Please, after you. So what’s your fancy?

Um, a vodka soda would be fine.

Okey dokey, coming right up. So, Joy, I understand you used to live here in Salem. Must be nice to be back.

Well, we moved away when I was a baby, so I don’t really remember anything about it.

Right. Well, I hope you’ve got your fill of it this time around. Because it’s time for you to go.

[tense music]

[suspenseful music]

Where have you been? We’re about to sit down.

Sorry I’m late. I had to get some stuff I left behind at the DiMeras.

Oh, OK.


[softly] Hey.

Well, get settled in. And Rafe can tell you all about his new job.

What new job? [knock at door]

You catch her up. I’ll get the door.

OK.


What do you mean it’s time for me to go?

[tense music]

I know what happened between you and my son, Joy.

Oh.

And it is really necessary for me to tell you how uncomfortable it is having you around. For him and for me.

Look, Mr. DiMera, I didn’t even want to come here in the first place. I couldn’t exactly say no. Chanel insisted.

[chuckling] Oh. I see we have a misunderstanding.


[clears throat] Mm. I’m not telling you to leave my house. I’m telling you to leave this city.

Excuse me?

Joy, my son is terribly guilt-ridden about what happened between you two. Clearly, your continued presence here is only going to make things worse.

So you’re saying he feels guilty, so I need to leave?

He was here first.

Seriously? But–[scoffs] I can’t just leave town. I have a job here now. I signed a contract.

Oh, I’ll pay that out.

No–

You’ll want for nothing.


The show expects me to work. I would be in breach of contract if I were to just leave.

I wouldn’t worry about that. I’m an excellent lawyer. I’ll find good reason for you to breach your contract.


So you really mean this?

Oh, I do. And I’ll be happy to pay you whatever it is you’re owed. And then some, in fact, if you pack up and leave Salem immediately.


I think it’s best that you go before you do any more damage. Hmm? So… do we have an understanding? Hmm?


What the hell are you doing here? I told you I wanted nothing to do with you.

I’m not here to see you. I’m here to see your cousin.

Gabi?

Ugh, no. Rafe.

[quirky suspenseful music] Hello, everyone. Happy Thanksgiving.

Leo.

You too, Leo.

Rafe, listen, I just ran into Steve Johnson outside the Brady pub and he tells me that you are working for Black Patch now.

I am.

Well, that’s great news. Congratulations. I would like to hire you immediately.

To do what?

To find Lady Whistleblower.


I heard there was an open bottle of champagne in here.

Ah.

Yeah. [cork pops] [EJ sighs]

Oh, is everything OK?

Oh, of course. Joy and I were just getting better acquainted.

Uh, well, Harold gave the pie to Cook, who wanted us to let you know that dinner is ready.

Oh, that is wonderful. So let’s all just head into the dining room, shall we?

We shall.

All right.

After you.

[tense music]

If you’re smart, you’ll take this deal. Everyone will be better off, including you, yeah? Now, let’s go grab something to eat, shall we? Come on.

Daytime Soap Opera Short Recaps

B&B logo

Recap written by Suzanne

At Forrester Creation, Steffy and Carter argue about her killing Hope For the Future, while Ridge stands nearby. Carter warns that FC will never recover from this. After more arguing, Steffy leaves, and Carter learns that Ridge agrees with her. Carter lambasts Ridge for how they treated Hope. Things get more heated as Carter wonders why Ridge won’t consider his plans for the company (his vision). Carter wonders if Ridge is still his best friend, Carter suggests he make Steffy apologize, so Ridge laughs at the idea. Ridge, trying to defuse the situation, insists they sit and have coffee. Ridge asks Carter if he did the job Ridge asked him to (to save on spending taxes for the company). Carter doesn’t answer, so Ridge warns him not get distracted by Hope.
Carter gets angry that even though Ridge says that they’re family, hewon’t listen to him or his plans; Carter looks hurt and upset. Ridge walks out without saying a word. Carter looks very angry.

Zende and Hope chat (in Brooke’s place, I think?). She is hopeful that Carter can talk some sense into Ridge. They discuss HFTF. Although Zende is a Forrester, he’s siding with Hope and her line. Their talk turns to Luna. They still can’t believe what she did, and how she used Zende. Steffy arrives to talk to Zende, ignoring Hope, but she argues with Steffy about what happened. Steffy doesn’t want to hear her excuses.

Katie visits Bill to see how he’s doing, now that he’s living all alone. They briefly discuss Luna. After she leaves, Bill opens a letter from Luna, who tells him how much she regrets what she did, and how much she misses him. At first, he seems touched, remembering when they hugged as a family for the first time. Then he remembers her kissing him, so he burns the letter in the fireplace.

Poppy visits Luna in prison. Luna claims she doesn’t know why she did what she did and apologizes profusely. Poppy assures her that she’s still her mother, but she’s still very upset that Luna killed two people and try to pin it on her. Luna’s real persona comes through when she asks Poppy how Bill is doing. Poppy doesn’t know, since she and Bill don’t see each other any more. Luna smiles happily when Poppy says this, but Poppy doesn’t notice. Luna smiles in an evil-looking way, alone in her cell.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Hope: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait–lock the door. Lock the door.

Brooke: Carter, what are you doing? Oh, my god. Hope! You and carter?

Eric: Well, it’s all news to me.

Steffy: It’s so strange–he never mentioned anything to you?

Eric: No. No.

Steffy: Dad, what about you? You and carter are really good friends–he never brought this up?

Ridge: Nothing like this, no.

Steffy: This push for growth and corporate expansion? It’s just–it’s out of nowhere.

Eric: Well, it’s kind of his job description, isn’t it? I mean, we always want our coo to be looking for new opportunities, but this–this is off the chart.

Ridge: Yeah. Turning forrester into a global luxury conglomerate.

Eric: Wasn’t what I was expecting. Pretty interesting meeting, though.

[Chuckles] He was so fired up, and hope and zende bvery excited about it. But it’s never gonna happen.

Ridge: I like carter’s initiative, I like his commitment to the company.

Steffy: Yeah, we all do.

Eric: Yeah, absolutely, but what he’s proposing–

Steffy: It’s a lot.

Ridge: No, it’s not just a lot, it’s too much. It’s changing everything.

Steffy: Absolutely. It’s more than just reviving a line or shifting resources.

Eric: Taking forrester creations in a whole different direction.

Ridge: Right. It’s changing the way we see the company, our company.

Steffy: Yes, our company, the family company. We don’t have to answer to shareholders or investment firms.

Eric: Well, his plan would change all that.

Ridge: And why now? Why-why is this happening now? Why does he wanna take such a risk now? What’s carter thinking?

Brooke: You and carter? Honey!

Carter: I’m sorry.

Hope: But I’m-I’m not! Mom, it is not what you think.

Brooke: I know what I saw.

Hope: Okay, well, there’s more to it than what it seems.

Brooke: My daughter and the company coo fooling around in the office.

Carter: I think what hope means–

Hope: Mom, we aren’t just fooling around.

Brooke: Oh, wait. You two are involved? Okay. That makes sense. I mean, you were defending hope and her line and… she was backing you up in the meeting today.

Hope: I believe in carter and his idea for the company, mom.

Carter: And I believe in hope for the future.

Brooke: [Huffs] But steffy is not gonna look at it this way she finds out.

Hope: Because she can’t, mom. No one can know about this. I mean, not-not yet, and especially not ridge.

Eric: Well, carter has obviously given this whole thing a lot of thought. He says he’s been thinking about this for years.

Ridge: Mm-hmm. So why’d he keep it to himself? Why spring it on us now?

Steffy: Well, it didn’t come out of nowhere. I mean, every time we talk, he brings it up, but this goes way beyond just a pitch.

Ridge: Yeah, he’s never talked about transforming forrester into some kinda luxury company–we don’t know how to do that. It’s uncharted territory.

Eric: Fragrances and leather goods, jewelry, wines.

Ridge: And what does that make this company?

Eric: It turns the company into a brand name instead of a fashion house. I don’t wanna do this.

Ridge: But you have to look at the other side, right? If this were to work, it’d be a huge amount of money.

Eric: And also a huge and unbelievable risk.

Steffy: One carter feels is necessary.

Ridge: Carter’s not wrong. He said that we have reached the apex of the fashion industry, and he’s right. So maybe it’s time for something else, to move into…a new era.

Eric: Yeah, or drive us into bankruptcy–could be the end of forrester creations as we know it.

Ridge: Yes, it could be. It could also be the start of something amazing. This could make us the biggest luxury company in the world.

Eric: Yeah, having taken on huge debt and a bunch of private investors.

Steffy: Giving up some of our control.

Ridge: Right. And this is where I don’t agree with carter, because he’s looking at this as an executive. We’re creative– we’re creative, right? What if somebody were to tell you what to do or not to do, even if you’re sitting on a big bag of money? What would you do? It’s a great pitch, and you expect that. It’s-it’s carter… he knows what he’s doing. But why now? Why do it right now? O take chances.

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Steffy: I’m not saying carter’s plan isn’t though out. I-I just don’t know if it’s right for us.

Ridge: Or the right time for us.

Eric: Forrester’s a family business. It’s not a conglomerate or, you know…

Steffy: Yeah, but I think carter just wants a bigger future for us.

Eric: Is that what you want, steffy?

Steffy: Well, I’m all about innovation. I mean, there’s a reason why forrester is such a leader in this game.

Ridge: Right. We’re not afraid to take chances.

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Eric: I took the biggest risk of my life just even starting this business.

Ridge: And carter knows that and he’s inspired by it.

Eric: He’s been a big part of our success, you know. As coo, he has overseen some of the biggest gains in our history.

Ridge: Absolutely. The rollout of the bedroom line was flawless.

Steffy: But this is the house of forrester. We don’t need investment bankers over our shoulders reacting to every single decision we make.

Ridge: That’s what I’m saying, we’re artists–you can’t put us in the balance sheets. It doesn’t work.

Eric: Exactly right. A forrester original is a work of art, a real original piece of beauty.

Ridge: Yes, it is.

Steffy: But that’s the thing. We’ve all seen the trends, and there’s been a lot of mergers in this industry–

Eric: We don’t follow trends, steffy–we set them.

Ridge: Whoa, there he is. Okay. I guess so.

Steffy: I really do love that.

Eric: Do you?

Steffy: Yeah, I do. I mean, we have dominated this industry. And, yes, carter wants to take some risks, but…why should we be doing that right now?

Ridge: Yeah, it’s too much.

Eric: You know, something’s going on here. The carter I know would be just as wary of all this as we are. I mean, that’s the surprise in all this. Why this…sudden desire for change?

Hope: Mom, I know this is a lot to process.

Brooke: Yeah, I thought that you and carter were friends.

Carter: We are. [Small laugh]

Brooke: Okay. Well, I didn’t expect to come in here and see you like that. I mean, what about my sister? Katie. Hope’s aunt.

Carter: We’ve been over for a while now.

Brooke: But you’re close and you still talk. Does she know about this?

Hope: No! No one, does, mom, and we don’t want anyone to know.

Brooke: Why, because it’s a fling? It’s a rebound?

Hope: No.

Brooke: Well, then, what is it? I need to know how serious this is.

Hope: I mean, we don’t even really know yet ourselves.

Carter: No. We know we care about each other, and there’s an obvious attraction.

Hope: [Giggles] Yes, a mutual attraction. And we are just giving ourselves some time to see how it goes.

Carter: Yeah.

Hope: Yeah.

Carter: See what develops, given our past.

Hope: Yeah, so there’s nothing to be concerned about, mom. We just are really enjoying seeing each other.

Brooke: In secret.

Hope: For now.

Carter: And you understand why, right? The situation at the office, what’s going on with hope’s line, the company.

Hope: So please, mom, I mean, we really don’t want anyone to know just yet. So can you promise me… please promise me that you won’t say anything. Socks, underwear and

Ridge: Well, carter’s never steered us wrong before.

Eric: No. He’s a valued member of our company.

Steffy: Normally, I rely on his advice. We work so well together. But lately, things just feel as though it’s so out of sync.

Eric: He has his own vision for the company, doesn’t he? Wants to stroke the profits. The company’s never been just about pursuing profits, actually. We’ve, uh, sustained this company for peace of mind. I don’t wanna close my eyes at night and wonder about stock prices and balloon payments.

Ridge: Same.

Eric: I want this company to be here for my great-grandchildren. And I’m afraid it won’t be if we take on all this debt, you know? Our company’s defined by our pursuit of beauty and our motivation is, uh, that divine spark that hits when pen touches paper.

Ridge: [Laughs] Yes. And that is a legacy to be proud of, dad.

Eric: Yes, it is. We have to.

Steffy: I do have another concern. Carter’s had a lot to say about the logans, like he doesn’t like my position on hope and her line. You heard him. He thinks that I have a personal beef and I allow it to interfere with my business decisions.

Eric: I think you’ve been very patient with hope for the future.

Steffy: Thank you. I really appreciate that. But carter feels as though I’m- I’m holding hope for the future to an unfair standard.

Ridge: Well, he has been defending her quite a bit.

Steffy: Yes, he has. He said it again when he tried to pitch the jewelry line.

Ridge: And that was surprising.

Eric: I love ivy. I would love to have her back at the company. It’d be great.

Steffy: Yeah, it would be great, but…carter should have told us first. He should have consulted with us first before having this meeting with ivy.

Ridge: Maybe. I didn’t offer a contract. It’s just–it was an idea like this meeting was an idea.

Steffy: Yeah, but it’s the timing of all of it, it all happening at once. Look, I-I don’t know. It just makes me wonder. I-it makes me wonder if hope is getting into carter’s head somehow.

Hope: Don’t you want us to take our time with this?

Brooke: Of course I do.

Hope: Okay, so we’re not going to be able to do that if everyone chimes in with their opinion.

Carter: Or objections.

Brooke: I’m not objecting.

Hope: No, I-I know that, mom. I’m just saying… we hope no one else will object either.

Carter: Office romances invite gossip, and I don’t want that for hope. She shouldn’t have to justify her feelings or defend them, especially if she’s not ready to share them.

Hope: Well… I can share with you.

Brooke: And what about you, carter?

Hope: Mom.

Carter: It’s okay. Your daughter’s had an impact on me. She’s the one who encouraged me to share my vision for forrester, how it can grow and adapt and go to the next level. And to be honest, I would have never shared it if not for her. She encouraged me to pursue my goals the same way she does with tenacity and integrity. She inspires me. Brings out the best in me.

Hope: Well, you bring out the best in me too, carter. I mean, he believes in me. He believes in my line. I mean, you saw the way he defended hope for the future in there, mom, and the way he asked steffy to put aside her agenda and do what’s best for the company.

Brooke: Well, that’s all wonderful, but it’s business.

Hope: No. It’s also about respect and integrity.

Carter: We understand and support each other.

Hope: And we share the same desires. We want what is best for each other, and we also want this silly war between the forresters and the logans to end here at work for good. And I think you know, mom, that’s not going to happen the way things are.

Carter: No. We want things to change at forrester and in our personal lives.

Hope: We just, you know, doesn’t hurt anyone if we have a little fun while doing it.

Carter: [Laughs] We’re-we’re just sorry you had to walk in on it.

Hope: Yeah. Sorry.

Brooke: Well…

Carter: Are we busted?

Brooke: No. I’m not here to bust anybody. I mean, you’re both consenting adults, right?

[Sighs] But I do have my concerns… and you’re gonna hear them. Finn really crosse

Ridge: Listen, you have every reason to be guarded where hope is concerned.

Eric: Yeah, her behavior with finn really crossed the line.

Steffy: Well, she kissed my husband. I don’t trust her.

Ridge: Okay. But she’s not pursuing him.

Steffy: Oh, she better not. But I don’t trust her across the board. I don’t trust her near my husband, I don’t trust her here at forrester, and… I’m starting to think that she might be manipulating carter.

Eric: What do you mean?

Steffy: Well, they’re friends. And if they’re friends, then that means carter’s on her side. A close ally.

Ridge: His loyalty is to the company.

Steffy: I know that, and, hey, maybe I’m wrong about hope. But it wasn’t that long ago when carter agreed with me. He saw the numbers. He thought that we should cut the line and now, out of nowhere, he’s defending it? He wants to save hope for the future? He’s all about growth and focu–

Ridge: Okay, you know what? It really doesn’t matter. You gave her enough time to turn things around.

Eric: But there is a limit.

Ridge: There is a limit, and at the end of the day, this is business. If she doesn’t come up with the numbers, we gotta make a change. It doesn’t matter what carter says.

Eric: Exactly. This is our company. We know what’s best for forrester.

Brooke: Carter, I need you to be completely honest with me.

Carter: I have been. [Laughs] Hope’s very important to me.

Brooke: So you’re no longer involved with katie?

Carter: We’re still friends.

Brooke: That’s it?

Carter: Maybe it’s all it ever was. We wanted it to be more. We tried, but…

Brooke: Okay. What about the fact that you are ridge’s best friend and you’re a top-level executive here at forrester?

Hope: What are you implying, that we shouldn’t be involved because we work together?

Carter: I’m not hope’s boss.

Hope: No. Steffy and ridge control my line, sadly, not carter.

Brooke: And I’m very grateful that you’ve been there for my daughter to support her and her line.

Carter: Well, I appreciate what your daughter brings to this company and into my life.

Brooke: Well, I am relieved to know that she has somebody in her corner. For a long time here at forrester creations, hope, katie, and I feel undervalued.

Hope: Yes. But we shouldn’t be–we bring a lot to the table.

Brooke: Yes, but it’s all the tension between the logans and the forresters.

Hope: Yeah, it’s a tradition which I believe steffy wants to continue.

Carter: Certainly can’t get past it.

Brooke: Yeah. And I don’t want that to impact you. And hope tells me she doesn’t wanna get in between you and steffy.

Carter: Thank you.

Hope: Yeah, we just… we want to take our time with this and see, you know, how it develops, how it goes.

Carter: Yeah, we do.

Brooke: Okay. Well, that’s definitely a healthier way to do it.

Carter: I understand what it’s like to be drawn to the wrong person.

Hope: Yeah, so we won’t make that mistake again, will we?

Carter: [Laughs] No.

Brooke: Okay. Well, that’s good to hear. But this is still very new, and I don’t want there to be any broken hearts or hurt feelings.

Hope: Thank you, mom.

Carter: For your support and for keeping this to yourself.

Steffy: Carter, I was won– oh, uh, what’s this?

Hope: Uh, what?

Steffy: Oh, am I interrupting something?

Hope: No. Why?

Steffy: Just the three of you huddled up–is there a reason for it?

Carter: We were, um, discussing work.

Steffy: Oh, okay, well, if it’s about work, then you can tell me what’s going on.

Hope and Carter discuss how Steffy shot down his idea of bringing back the jewelry line with Ivy. Hope urges him to speak to Ridge. He says that Ridge has shot his ideas down in the past. Hope thinks that maybe he’s been too nice. She supports his ideas and says that his voice matters as COO. He’s grateful for her support.

Will and Zende talk briefly about Zende’s new designs. When Zende mentions wanting to talk to Hope about accessories, Will asks him if he means jewelry. Zende hasn’t heard anything about a jewelry line at Forrester, nor has heard about anyone named Electra (which seems strange, since he’s a Forrester). Zende wonders if the young woman, Electra, was teasing Will. He warns Will not to get too distracted by the women there. After Zende leaves, Will has a flashback to meeting Electra.

Steffy and Ridge catch up about how she’s worried about how Carter has been acting, and she tells Ridge about Carter bringing Ivy and Electra there to talk her into reviving the jewelry line. Ridge listens intently as she says that she vetoed the idea. Later, they call Zende in to talk about how the line is failing. He’s enthusiastic about his designs, but Steffy points out that they’re losing buyers.

Hope and Carter arrive; Steffy mentions that she may have to cut Hope For The Future. With Hope’s support, Carter speaks up about moving forward with mergers and acquisitions into a Forrester luxury umbrella. He urges them to think on a grand scale instead of cutting lines. Ridge looks intrigued.

Ivy and Electra visit Eric (Ivy is his niece). They all hug. Electra tells Eric that she’s interested in both fashion and jewelry. After they talk about the jewelry, Eric asks Ivy if she’s been in touch with Quinn. She says she hasn’t. She learned what she needed to from her and has since gone in her own direction. She tells Eric that Steffy vetoed the idea of Forrester bring her and the jewelry line back. Eric thinks that it’s a great idea; he promises to speak to Steffy and Ridge about it. He also invites them to stay, saying that they’re Forresters, and this is their home, too. There are more hugs.

Brooke goes to see Steffy, to talk about her line, but Steffy is distracted She’s upset about Carter, so Brooke thinks that it’s because he stood up for Hope and her line. Steffy maintains that it’s also because he wants to bring Ivy in to bring back the jewelry line. She says he’s been great for the company, but now she’s questioning his judgment.

Carter, still angry, visits Hope and fills her in on what’s going on. He says that the battle between the Forresters and Logans needs to end. He tells her that he’s been doing research on taking the company to the next level with re-branding of luxury goods. Hope thinks that’s a great idea.
