Diane: Why do you suppose Harrison sleeps like that?

Jack: All splayed out like he’s in the middle of a jumping jack? I don’t know, maybe to keep cool in the August heat?

Diane: That could be it. Whatever the reason, it’s adorable. It’s like he jumped into bed in that position and then just fell immediately asleep.

[Sighing] Ah. Thank you for letting me peek in on him.

Jack: Anytime.

Diane: You know, this grandparenting thing is never going to get old, is it?

Jack: I highly doubt it. All this joy he brings us seems pretty limitless.

Billy: What is going on here? Is this a therapy session I didn’t know I was having.

Chelsea: [Chuckles] I’m sorry if I’m overstepping. I don’t know what our boundaries are yet. I figure, since we’re working together, everything’s fair game.

Billy: Is that so?

Chelsea: Mm-hmm. It would be great fodder for an episode.

Billy: Okay. Look, uh, I’m not upset that you’re asking me about Victoria. I’m really not. I was just a little bit surprised. But I think you’re right. The more open and honest we are, the more authentic the podcast is.

Billy: You’re making it sound like I don’t like my job, and that couldn’t be further from the truth. Okay? And these podcasts are initiatives with this company that we are building. It was my idea to start that platform in the first place, and these podcasts are actually a major generator of our success.

Lily: Yeah, I know. You never let me forget how popular they are.

Billy: Come on, that’s not fair.

Lily: Or always begging me to listen to the latest episode.

Billy: Is that too much to ask of you?

Lily: Actually, yeah, Billy, it is a lot to ask right now. It is. I’m trying to deal with merging two companies together. I also am having tension with my family. Devon and Nate aren’t getting along. I have a lot going on right now, and I could really use some support from my COO. So is that too much to ask from you

**********************************

Billy: [Whistles] What are you doing here?

Victoria: Well, I was hoping to gather my thoughts over a quiet drink, but it seems like everywhere I turn today, I keep running into reminders of my messy life.

Billy: Oh, wow. And here I thought I worked my way back into your good books.

Victoria: Well, that was before I got sandbagged by Chelsea wanting to tell Johnny the truth about his biological mother, and apparently she’s already discussed this with you. So, thank you so much, Billy, for the heads-up.

Billy: I’m sorry. She did talk to me about it. And of course, I was gonna talk to you about it, but… Vick, I know you got a lot going on. I didn’t think it was the right time.

Victoria: It was perfect timing for Chelsea.

Billy: Well, Chelsea jumped the gun. This is a massive decision.

Victoria: Look, it’s not that I disagree telling Johnny the truth, but he’s trying to understand what happened with Ashland. I mean, we all are.

Billy: Of course, we’re gonna have to tell Johnny. When that is, I don’t — I don’t know, but I do know that the older he gets, the harder it’s gonna be to justify not telling him.

Victoria: It’s just, why is it suddenly so urgent? It raises a red flag.

Billy: I get that. And believe me, I’m not pushing for this.

Victoria: [Sighs heavily] Look, I have no interest in trying to wrap my head around this tonight. I was just trying to figure out a way to [Sighs] Just relax so that maybe I would get a little sleep tonight.

Billy: Well [Pats seat] Come on. Sit down and let me buy you a drink. I’ll bore you senseless with my self-absorption about my podcast. You’ll sleep like a baby.

Summer: Okay. Don’t let me fall into the pool.

Kyle: I would never. I think we should have a private swim when we get back to the house later.

Summer: Ooh, that sounds like a good idea. I’m a lucky girl.

Kyle: And I’m a lucky guy.

Summer: Okay. Can I open my eyes now?

Kyle: Mm.

Summer: Oh, okay.

Kyle: Almost there. Here. Okay.

Summer: [Exhales sharply] This is so sweet. Are those drinks what I think they are?

Kyle: Negronis. And there’s bruschetta on the way.

Summer: Mm. [Chuckles] This is bringing back so many memories of our favorite rooftop bar in Milan. And that breathtaking view of the duomo.

Kyle: May not be able to see the duomo from here, but the view is just as breathtaking.

Summer: You’re a real charmer, you know that?

Kyle: Eh, you make it pretty easy.

Summer: I have to admit, as happy as I am to be back in Genoa City, there are still moments when I miss Italy.

Kyle: I do too. That’s why I thought we could enjoy a little taste of it this evening.

Summer: Do you remember that first night we discovered that other rooftop deck with the best negronis in the city? We held hands across the table like we didn’t want to let go.

Kyle: Mm.

Summer: And we danced until we could not dance anymore.

Kyle: When we finally got home, we stayed up all night wrapped in each other’s arms, watched the sunrise. Should make sure to make more of those memories, no matter where we are.

“”*********************************

Kyle: I should really learn how to make negronis at home.

Summer: Mm, so we can have a taste of Italy without ever leaving the house?

Kyle: I don’t care where we are, as long as I get to look at this.

Summer: You know, I wasn’t sure if I was going to like these at first. Gin, vermouth, Campari, and an orange peel.

Kyle: It is an unusual combination, but sometimes those are the best kinds. Things that don’t seem to go together, but somehow do.

Summer: An unexpected yet magical elixir.

Kyle: Exactly.

[Chuckles] Maybe we should head home to have that swim. If no one else is around, we can forget our swimsuits. What do you say? What’s the matter?

Chelsea: Okay. This is a file, or a whole filing system? It’s all color-coordinated and tabulated. Do you have a name for this? Like a nerdy name. Like, um, the Billy Abbott approach? Baa? Like, “baaah,” like a sheep? Get it?

Billy: No, I do get it. I’m not sure it’s funny.

Chelsea: It is funny. When did you become so fastidious, so particular?

Billy: I put this studio together to be free of distractions. So, the absence of clutter is actually on purpose.

Chelsea: Okay. Well, I think that crumbs add a little something.

Billy: [Chuckles] These are great.

Billy: No, you’re not

*******************************

Chelsea: How did this happen? The notorious Billy Abbott is now the buttoned-down guy you bring home to mom.

Billy: I don’t think there’s anything wrong with trying to maintain a professional atmosphere, like not having popcorn on the floor.

Okay. Whatever you say, grandpa. I mean, do you hear yourself? Who are you?

Billy: Oh, lord. Really? I mean, that’s a first — somebody’s complaining that I’m actually a rule follower.

Chelsea: Yeah, kind of off-brand for you, isn’t it?

Billy: Yeah, I would say so, maybe. You give me a line, and I will cross it. You give me an order; I will give you disorder. It’s actually gotten me into some pretty good trouble over the years.

Sharon: Hey. Oh, my god. Did you guys buy out every store in Genoa City?

Faith: Yeah, and the outlet mall and Lake Geneva.

[Both laugh] All essentials, though.

Sharon: But your dorm room is so small.

Mariah: Oh, never fear. We will make it work. Although we might need the help of an engineering major.

**************************************

Phyllis: Ah, that was incredible. I love everything I ate.

Summer: Me too. That Key Lime Tart was killer.

Phyllis: Mmm!

Summer: Plus, we got a ton accomplished.

Phyllis: Yes. Oh, my gosh. Thank you for that, boss.

Summer: Oh, my god. Do not call me that.

Phyllis: Oh, sorry, boss. Oh, my gosh. That’s gonna take some work.

Summer: No. Stop.

[Chuckles] Wait, what are you — what do you think you’re doing?

Phyllis: Paying the check.

Summer: Hand it over. This one’s going on my expense account.

Phyllis: Are you sure?

Summer: It’s my new head of Marchetti Home’s first official day. I think the company can spring for lunch.

Phyllis: Okay. Thank you. That’s very sweet.

Summer: So, on the agenda for today, we’re going to go over to H.R., Get your contract signed. Then I’ll show you your new office, let you get settled in and acclimated to the routine.

Chelsea: Mm. You have a different energy in this room. Different posture, even.

Billy: You know me. I have to wear a lot of hats. You know, I’ve got my corporate chapeau, I’ve got my hipster hosting beanie, and, of course, my favorite, the dunce cap.

Chelsea: Ah, right, so when i saw you at the soccer field the other day, what kind of hat were you wearing then?

Billy: That would be my number-one-dad truck hat, of course.

*************************************

Summer: I like the idea. I’m not thrilled that Mariah is the one that brought it to you. That means that she’s going to be involved, which always turns into a whole thing.

Kyle: She will be on her best behavior.

Summer: That’s what we’ve been saying about our mothers, and they’re going to require a lot of managing. I don’t want me and Mariah to be another source of potential conflict.

Kyle: Hey, Mariah is genuinely happy for us and you’re happy for her and Tessa.

Summer: We’ve reached sort of a peaceful coexistence, but that’s only because of your friendship.

Kyle: Maybe, but she’s changed, like when she gives you a hard time now, it doesn’t really have any animosity to it. Like, I mean, like, at the winning. She was legitimately happy you were there.

Summer: Babe, she called me “snowflake” for years.

Kyle: It was in fun — mostly. But look, Mariah has her hands full at Jabot, so she won’t have time to play show-biz wife to Tessa. Look past all the Mariah stuff. Won’t it be awesome for Tessa to be the face of Marchetti.

Abby: [Chuckles] Adam, hi. How are you?

Adam: I’m good. It’s been a minute, hasn’t it?

Abby: Well, you were here yesterday, weren’t you?

Adam: Oh, I — I come in all the time. I just mean, it’s been a while since you and i have had a chance to talk.

Abby: Well, I guess I’m shocked that you’re even supporting my restaurant, since you are cutting ties with anything Newman these days.

Adam: [Chuckles] Well, I can’t quit Society. First of all, the food is delicious, and I think I would be punishing myself if I didn’t come here. Where else would I get the little crab-puff appetizers?

Abby: Nowhere in this town.

Adam: And secondly, my issues with our father and how he does business don’t have anything to do with you and me. There’s no reason we can’t have a conversation. Unless you disagree.

Abby: No, that seems fair. Your conflict with our father has nothing to do with me. And we have been civil. So, uh, sure. You know, why don’t I send you some crab puffs, on the house?

Adam: Oh, that is so nice. Thank you.

Abby: Will you be dining alone or is someone joining you?

Adam: Um, dining solo. But actually, if you have a moment, I would love to talk to you about something.

Abby: Mm. Yep. There it is. You are being so pleasant, but you had an agenda the whole time, didn’t you?

Adam: You caught me.

Victor: You know, there’s a great opportunity you have now, right? You know, it’s a good thing about business — you can build something. It’s not just about money and power.

Sally: Those things don’t hurt, though, right?

Victor: Of course, they’re important. But I haven’t spent decades building this business just for the sake of money and power. I’ve also done it for the sake of building something that will last. A legacy.

Sally: It’s really inspiring.

Victor: You have some important decisions to make in the future. I hope that you will prove yourself and stay in this position.

Sally: Thank you. Was that a compliment or a warning?

Kevin: Far be it from me to tell you how to do it, but sometimes a car crash is just a car crash, even when it involves the most hated man in Genoa City.

Chance: There’s more to the story. Trust me. And it’s all in the police report. And since I want you to take on a bigger role in this case…

Kevin: I need to be up to speed. Got it.

********************************

Chance: And if something feels off, don’t be satisfied with the simple answer. When I learned that Rey had a heart attack, the whole scenario just made sense. It made sense why he didn’t have the natural reaction to avoid a collision, why he didn’t hit the brakes, why he didn’t try to steer away from oncoming traffic. And that is why I need to know exactly what happened to Ashland Locke yesterday. I want to know what he did every minute leading up to his death. And you’re gonna help me do it.

Kevin: Me? What can I do? I’m not a cop. I can’t interrogate people. And while I’m sure his car has plenty of microchips inside, you really need a mechanic to analyze that data.

Chance: Go see the medical examiner. She takes her coffee with two sugars.

Kevin: But I have nothing to do with it in her office. She doesn’t even technically work for the GCPD.

Chance: Go see her and tell her how much you like that fantasy role-playing game.

Kevin: Oh, she plays that, too?

Chance: That’s what I hear. And that’s why you’re the perfect man for the job.

Kevin: Unless you’re suggesting that Ashland’s death had something to do with the search for a mythical orb, I fail to see the connection.

Chance: You can take this shared interest, and you can butter her up, man. Get friendly. Yeah? I mean, ask her to join your, uh — whatever it is you call a group of people who play that game.

Kevin: A guild.

Chance: Yes. Yes. Guild. And then once you two are guild buddies — yeah? — You make sure she knows that that autopsy is our top priority.

Kevin: [Sighs] Alright. I guess that’s simple enough.

Chance: And you make sure you know that police report by heart, man. I’m gonna need you up to speed if we’re gonna figure this out.

Kevin: “We.” Sure. I mean, yes. And I will report right back to you because that is what a good sidekick does. We’re kind of a team now, right? You’re boots on the ground. I’m your guy behind the desk, eyes on everything, plugged in to the mainframe. Yes! Maybe not. But I will see what I can do about speeding up that autopsy, and, uh, I’ll be in touch.

Billy: Well, I guess there is some poetic justice, the fact that Ashland Locke left this earth in the same way that his big persona was born — in a car crash.

[ Sighs ] I’m just glad that he is not on this earth anymore and he is out of your life for good.

Victoria: You know they say you’re not supposed to speak ill of the dead, right?

Billy: Yeah, well, I’m gonna make an exception this time because I know what he put you through. The way that you handled yourself… I am just in awe of you. Your fortitude. Your stubbornness. And, of course, your grace.

Victoria: [Breathes deeply] I told you to go to L.A. And not worry about me, but you didn’t listen.

Billy: Yeah, well, there’s nothing you can say to stop me from looking out for you.

********************************

Nick: Sorry if it seemed like I was brushing you off.

Billy: It’s alright. I’m just glad that you’re both okay and that you are now Locke-free and this whole nightmare is over.

Nick: Yeah. Um, I need to talk to you about that real estate deal.

Victoria: Oh. Business Nick. He’s unstoppable.

Billy: Yeah. Look at him.

Billy: Because I actually like my colleagues. I trust them and admire them.

Kevin: Wouldn’t you like to know. I work for the good. So, if you’re looking for someone to blackmail into being your minion, look elsewhere. This guy’s on the right side of the law.

Adam: Yeah, well, at least for now. Old habits, you know, and all that.

Kevin: It’s funny. Now that I’m out of your orbit, everything is right in my world. Great job, great relationship, great family.

Adam: That sounds nice. I’m very happy for you.

Kevin: From what I hear, you’re striking out on all three of those fronts these days.

Adam: Gloating is not a good look on you, Kevin.

Kevin: I think I’ve earned it. You put me through hell.

Adam: Come on. You were hardly an innocent victim.

Kevin: The difference between the two of us is that I have done my best to change. You just wallow in your bad habits.

Adam: What would you know about it?

Kevin: Uh, hello? Chloe? The love of my life?

Adam: No accounting for taste, but I guess there really is a lid for every pot, huh?

Kevin: [Chuckles] Yeah. My point is that Chloe works for Sally now. Not that she’s a gossip, but she has shared some things your ex has said about you. Whew!

Adam: Like what?

Kevin: Well, I wish I could stay and chat longer, but I’m assuming you heard Ashland Locke turned up dead, so I’m a little busy.

Ashley: As a matter of fact, I am. Why? Are you keeping tabs on me like you used to when we were kids?

Jack: We’ve got kids who have kids. No, I don’t think so. I’m actually quietly reading over the lab report you asked me to look at.

Ashley: Well, you know what? I should be back at a pretty decent hour, so we can go over it when I get home.

Chloe: All of these people.

Sally: What people are you talking about? Hopefully no one whose name is on the building because they sign our checks.

Chloe: You know, as a rule, I am generally irritated by most of the Newmans, but in this moment, I am specifically irritated by all of these national media parasites who just want to get the scoop on Ashland Locke’s death. Vultures.

Sally: Chloe, you do realize that we’re a part of the national media, right? So, are you calling us vultures?

Chloe: No, no. I’m talking about all of the reporters who have come into town, who are trying to uncover some angle that no one else has found.

Sally: They’re not evil. They’re just trafficking in the most valuable commodity of the day — information. All of their platforms are covering Ashland’s death, and they need to find an angle.

Chloe: Well, I doubt they’re gonna find out that Nick punched Ashland at Victoria’s house the night that Locke died.

Sally: What did you just say? Their confrontation got physical?

*********************************

Chloe: It’s true. Nick clocked Ashland the night he died. Probably not long before the accident.

Sally: And this was at Victoria’s house?

Chloe: Exactly.

Sally: What was Ashland doing there?

Chloe: I don’t really know. I just know that it got really heated between Ashland and Victoria, so Nick had to step in.

Sally: Wow. And you found this out from your trusted source that rhymes with “fleven.”

Chloe: You know there are actual words that rhyme with his name. You don’t have to make up something.

Chance: If you’re hoping that I’m gonna drop this investigation, that’s not gonna happen. It is my duty to find the facts in this case, and I take that very seriously.

Victor: I know you do. And I admire that. You have a highly developed sense of duty. Probably got that from the military. But as far as I’m concerned, all that effort would be better spent elsewhere.

Chance: I doubt Ashland would see it that way.

Victor: Who the hell gives a damn how Ashland would see it? He’s dead, Chance, dead as a doornail! He was a pathological liar. He was a fraud. And I have a feeling he began to realize that. That’s why he drove his damn car into a ravine.

Chance: Okay, so you’re still pushing the whole suicide —

Victor: That’s the only logical explanation.

Chance: Only if the facts would back it up, but that’s not the case. Victor, I cannot overlook the reality that you have covered up a fatal accident in the past involving one of your children.

Victor: Now, wait a minute, man. You’re talking about Adam. This is something that happened decades ago. Let me tell you something about your profession. The more information you have about a case, the more it often obscures the truth.

Sally: You know, in fashion, I always wanted to influence what people wore, but this is gonna be so much bigger. I mean, folks are gonna turn to Newman Media to figure out who to listen to, what to talk about, and what to care about. It’s awesome, how much power and influence we can wield.

Mariah: And the doctor said the procedure couldn’t have gone better. The only unfortunate thing is Tessa has to be on complete vocal rest for the next few days — so, no talking, no — no laughing or coughing or clearing your throat. And the hardest part, no singing or humming. I know. I’m sorry, my little songbird. But that’s kind of the best part in all of this, is I get to say sappy things to Tessa and she can’t groan. So, it’s kind of a win-win.

Sharon: Well, I plan on keeping you fully stocked with plenty of smoothies and decaffeinated teas while you recover. And maybe the best thing that Mariah can do for you is to stop cracking so many jokes. Tessa’s not supposed to be laughing, either.

Mariah: Uh…yeah. Wait, what are you trying to say?

Faith: Uh, that we don’t have to worry. Your jokes — not so funny.

Mariah: Wow. Okay, fine.

Faith: Oh! I have the best gift for this situation. You can use this instead of talking. What?

Thank you. I love it.

[Laughter]

Faith: I get it. Obviously, Tessa could have just used her phone, but with the whiteboard, she can be more expressive — pictures, emojis. It’s like carrying around her own thought bubble.

Mariah: That’s a very good point. You know, we can also play hangman or ticktacktoe, draw charades. Very good gift. Thank you.

Adam: Sharon, it’s — it’s complicated.

Sharon: You know what? When you find someone who you really match up with, it shouldn’t be complicated and you shouldn’t take it for granted.

Adam: Look, as I already told you, um, this is what’s best for everybody, okay? I need a break. And the trip that you heard me booking was for Vegas.

Sharon: Really? Given your history there, why would you want to go back there? And don’t forget — I’m the one who brought you home from Vegas. I wouldn’t want to see you slide into old bad habits. So, how long are you staying?

Diane: you’re having a big talk.

Kyle: Yes, we are.

Diane: I know mommy and daddy shared some sad news with you, how father got hurt and he won’t be back. That’s kind of hard to believe or understand, isn’t it? Yeah. Hey, you and I just saw father at the park, didn’t we? I heard him telling you how much he loves you and how he had to go away on a trip, but that he’d be back soon.

[ Sighs ] But sometimes things happen in life that we aren’t expecting and our plans change, like — oh, do you remember the day that we were going to the park and then, when we went outside, it started to rain, so we decided to stay home? Yeah. Well, that’s — that’s one way that plans can change when something that we can’t control happens to us. And then all of a sudden, things aren’t the way we thought they’d be. But that doesn’t mean that father didn’t love you more than anything else in this world. I know that if father could be here with you, he would be. But this is just one of those times that something bad happened and he can’t be. Show me where your heart is.

[Chuckles] What a smart and brave boy you are. That’s — that’s absolutely right.

Kyle: Father’s still in there, in your heart.

Sally: No, it is nothing like that. I just — I learned something earlier. Adam was in here tonight, and I heard him talking with Sharon. I overheard him telling her what I had suspected all along. He admitted that the only reason he broke up with me was because he felt like it was best for me. He didn’t admit it to my face, but it’s a real motive behind him breaking things off.

Nick: Do you think we don’t know that already? And who cares? It shouldn’t change anything.

Sally: Yeah, but it does, because I’m not okay with him making that sacrifice.

Nick: Well, Adam doesn’t care what you think, obviously. He made this decision without consulting you, and he’s lying to you, and he’s continuing to lie to you.

Sally: It was a terrible, stupid mistake on Adam’s part, but I know he believes he’s doing the right thing.

Nick: You’re just making excuses for him, just like Sharon did and Chelsea and just like Victoria did for Ashland.

Sally: That is not what I’m doing.

Nick: Sally, what is wrong with you? You’ve got this incredible opportunity. It is right in front of your face. You just have to grab it. And you’re willing to throw it all away for this guy who stomped on your heart with both feet. Is this all the self-respect you have?

Sally: Why are you being so harsh? I bet this has more to do with what your sister just went through than it does with me. So please don’t put all your baggage on me. You don’t know me that well

*******************

Chloe: So, was I right about Adam earlier? Is he angry with you for staying on at Newman when he decided to quit? Is that why he broke up with you?

Sally: [Sighs] You have it backwards, Chloe. Adam broke up with me so that I can stay here. He knew that Victoria would never agree to keep me on as long as we were still together, that she could never trust me to somehow not be conspiring with him. So, he came up with some bogus story about not wanting to be with me because Victor wouldn’t approve.

Chloe: Oh, my god. That is just so hurtful.

Sally: I knew that that’s not how he really felt, which is exactly what you saw us arguing about earlier. And then tonight, I confirmed it. I overheard him admitting to Sharon that he only cut me loose so that our relationship wouldn’t get in the way of my job here at Newman Media.

Chloe: And let me guess, you confronted him right away.

Sally: Of course. I told him that this was a huge mistake and that he would regret it for the rest of his life, once I had moved on with someone else.

Chloe: Good for you.

Sally: But then I also

[Sighs] Told him that I didn’t want to get the job this way and that I would

[Inhaling deeply] Be turning in my resignation first thing in the morning.

Chloe: Okay. I — I’m not going to freak out right away, because I’m sure you just said that in the heat of the moment, and by now you’ve calmed down and realize that quitting would just be crazy right!

Kyle: Mm. And I wanted us to have a little alone time so I can thank you for being such a great stepmom and wife.

Summer: And now business partner.

Kyle: Oh! How could I forget? I think we should toast to that.

Summer: I think so, too. Well, well, well, would you look at that? My brother and your…

Kyle: Niece.

Summer: Right. Would you mind if we went over there? I know that it’s our date night, but I haven’t caught up with Noah in forever.

Kyle: I think you just want to spy on the new romance.

Summer: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Kyle: Don’t get me wrong, I’m on board. I haven’t had a chance to talk to Allie, which is kind of embarrassing because we live in the same house, so let’s do it

*********************

Noah: What, you got a problem with my plan already?

Summer: Yeah. A grandpa-shaped problem. I mean, he kind of likes having the top of the tower in the Newman building. He uses it a lot. He uses it as sort of like a second office. I’m not sure he’s gonna go for turning it into a nightclub with a glam vibe.

Kyle: [Chuckles] I don’t think Victor knows what glam vibe is.

Noah: I beg to differ, my friend. Have you seen pictures of him in the ’70s? Dude was a stud.

Kyle: I have.

Summer: True.

Kyle: And I stand corrected. But he was less of a Bowie and more of a Burt Reynolds.

Noah: Yeah.

Allie: Who’s Burt Reynolds?

Noah: Are you ser– okay. We have a movie marathon in our future.

Adam: What are you doing here?

Sally: I’m like one of those ghosts in that Dickens novel. I’m giving you a second chance. A do-over, so this time you can make the right choice. And we can reclaim our future.

*****************

Sally: [Scoffs] You didn’t think I was just going to give up, did you? I thought we knew each other better than that.

Adam: No, I assumed that you had too much self-respect to keep throwing yourself at someone who just rejected you. So apparently, I don’t know you that well.

Sally: I’m here because i have a ton of self-confidence, enough to endure whatever it is that you’re gonna dish out until you finally drop your defenses.

Phyllis: Hey.

Diane: Hi.

Phyllis: Oh, good on you, keeping your workouts in.

Diane: No. You’re right. I do need to stay fit for Harrison’s sake. He’s needed extra attention from his Dee-Dee after the shock of Ashland’s death. It’s been really hard for him to process.

Phyllis: Oh, yeah.

Diane: Yeah.

Phyllis: It’s really hard for children to deal with grief. That’s why all of us as parents — we make sure that we’re there for them to prevent them from any unnecessary trauma.

Diane: Hmm.

Phyllis: Mm. But Kyle and summer — they’re amazing.

Diane: Oh, yeah. They’re excellent parents. You know what? I-I better get to it. I’m on a gym break from my job at Marchetti. I have to tell you, it is such an invigorating environment, and working with my son is incredible. You know what, Phyllis? My new life in Genoa City is better than I could have ever dreamed.

 

*************************

Phyllis: Ah. You know, it’s funny because, from my vantage point, it seems like anything is possible. I’m starting to feel like the world is my oyster. Do you know what I mean? Like something is about to change that’s gonna be spectacular.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Phyllis: Oh, it’s Summer. How funny. Oh, she has a proposition for me. I need to talk to her. Toodles.

Diane: Oh, gosh! That wind came out of nowhere.

Jack: Yeah, that’s what we used to call a wicked wind when I was a kid.

Diane: I’ve never heard that phrase before.

Jack: No?

Diane: No.

Jack: Well, it’s an old wives’ tale about summer winds that come in and manage to make things hot rather than cool. It’s a bad omen.

Diane: Oh.

Jack: So, in July, when a wind like this kicks up, well, you know trouble’s right around the corner. And here you are

***************

Phyllis: I’ll tell you why. I had a conversation with Summer. You know what Summer said? She went on and on about Diane and how wonderful she is because I guess she saved Harrison from Ashland. And she was going on like Diane deserved a medal or a parade or something.

Nikki: That’s ridiculous. I was there. She sent Michael a text. That’s the extent of her involvement.

Phyllis: Are you kidding me? And you know she probably did it so everybody would fawn all over her.

Nikki: [Sighs] Ashland Locke. The gift that keeps on giving.

Billy: You okay?

Victoria: Yeah, I-I’m fine. I-I’m sorry. I know, I jumped a mile.

Billy: It’s alright. You know, this old place. It cracks and pops when the wind blows. You remember how scared the kids used to get?

Victoria: [Chuckles] Yes, I do. Now they just make a game out of it.

Billy: Yeah. “What monster made that sound?” Is the, uh, the grumpy goblin — is that still the winner?

Victoria: Well, now that Katie’s in her sci-fi phase, she likes to speculate about an alien who’s taken up residence in the attic.

Billy: I do not believe that she is reading sci-fi. Seems like yesterday we were teaching her the alphabet.

Victoria: I sort of wish that we could just stop time — you know? — And keep them at this age where they’re old enough to not need us to hold their hand anymore, but they’re young enough to just be innocent and get excited about everything.

*************************

Victoria: [Sighs] What — what the hell are you doing out there?

Ashland: I was debating whether to even make my presence known.

Victoria: As opposed to what? Hiding out in the bushes and spying on me. What’s wrong with you?

Ashland: I just wanted to see you one last time.

Victoria: You shouldn’t be here right now. Maybe I should call the police. Do I need a restraining order against you?

Ashland: I’m sorry, okay? I didn’t mean to scare you. But after everything we’ve shared, I just…

[Sighs] I don’t know how to say goodbye.

Victoria: [Sighing] Ughh!

Sharon: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe it’s the look on your face whenever you’re around her or talking about her. Let’s see, what’s the word I’m looking for? Oh, I know — happy.

Noah: That’s very funny. But, yeah, yeah, I like her. She’s cool, easy to hang out with.

Sharon: She kind of took you by surprise, didn’t she?

Noah: Yeah, I can’t remember ever feeling so comfortable and so relaxed with someone this quickly.

*********************

Ashley: Okay. I’m glad. It’s so important to me that you have your eyes wide open where Diane Jenkins is concerned. Honestly, as long as her presence is here in this town, she will continue to inflict pain on our family. What is it? What are you thinking? I mean, honestly, express it, please. I promise you, it’s not going to affect our relationship at the lab or here. I promise.

Allie: Okay. Ashley, I just… I just want you to know that even though I may seem innocent or naive, I am anything but, and I won’t let anyone manipulate me. Not Diane. Not Phyllis. And not you. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go get ready for my date with Noah.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, this is the first meeting of the disappear Diane Club, or the Jettison Jenkins Foundation.

Nikki: Phyllis, I understand you need to inject a little humor here, but the reality is, this is a dire situation. We have got to get Diane out of town before she does some real harm to people we love.

Phyllis: Oh, no one agrees with you more than I on that.

Ashley: So, let’s get down to business. How do we make it happen?

******************

Adam: What happened to you? Have you been on a bender?

Ashland: I’ve been in jail. Not that it’s any of your business.

Adam: Well, I guess that explains why you haven’t answered my calls. But what could you have done to land you in jail? You tried to see Harrison, didn’t you? You defied the restraining order.

Ashland: I thought I found an ally in Diane.

Adam: If you would’ve asked me, I would have warned you against that.

Ashland: Mm.

Adam: No one has ever trusted her without living to regret it. Including me.

Ashland: Well, I thought she, more than anyone, would understand what it feels like to be separated from your own son. She’d taken Harrison to the park… let me spend a little time with him, and then…

Adam: Well, you knew it. The cops were swarming. Yeah, she figured she could use you to score some points with the Newmans.

Ashland: I’m pretty sure Victor was behind it from the beginning.

Adam: Mm. Well, that does sound like dear old dad. But, uh, I guess the question now is, what do you intend to do about it?

Ashley: She did it, didn’t she?

Jack: What? What are you saying?

Ashley: Phyllis pulled a Phyllis.

Jack: I don’t even know what that means.

Ashley: Jack, you know exactly what it means. What did she do? Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

*************

Noah: Oh, no, she can’t.

Phyllis: Why not?

Noah: Uh, we — we have that thing that we’re going to, and we don’t want to be late to that because…

Allie: He’s great. I’m so sorry, but I’m sure you understand.

Noah: Busy woman like Phyllis, better believe she does. Matter of fact, we have taken up way too much time as it is, so we should probably go on.

Allie: I’m sure we’ll catch up soon. I’ll talk to you later, Phyllis. Okay. Bye.

Diane: Wow. You can really clear a room.

Phyllis: Hey. Why are you still here? I thought Victoria scraped you off of the bottom of her shoe.

Ashland: Beat it, Phyllis.

Phyllis: Not beating it. I can be here.

Ashland: Yeah. Okay, fine. I admit I am not the guy who decides who comes and goes in this park. In fact, I don’t decide much of anything these days.

Phyllis: It must suck reaping what you sow.

Ashland: Boy, you really are enjoying gloating over my downfall, aren’t you?

Phyllis: I am.

Ashland: Oh.

Phyllis: I actually am. Yeah. What are you doing here? Honestly, I thought Victoria got rid of you. And I’m really impressed with her. Maybe I’ll give her a party at the Grand Phoenix for getting rid of you professionally and personally.

Ashland: That is a fantastic idea. You should get on that right now

**********************

Ashland: My gosh, just look at you. Is it possible you’ve grown like a foot since the last time I saw you?

Harrison: Maybe.

Ashland: Oh, then that means I’ve been away for way too long. I-I — I’m so sorry that we haven’t been able to spend more time together.

Harrison: I miss you, father.

Ashland: I miss you too, son. I’ve just been… I’ve been traveling. I’ve been very busy.

Harrison: With work?

Ashland: Yeah. Yeah. And I may have to leave again soon, so I’m really glad that I’m seeing you right now.
