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

Wake up.

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

Are you okay?

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

I’m not behind it.

Give me the key.

Oh, my God. Do–

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

Oh, my God!

Phyllis. Phyllis, stop it!

Why me?

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

and anything that you say…

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

What?

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

It’s all Havenhurst.

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

can we?

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

to try to frighten us.

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

I don’t understand the game.

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

I’m gonna hydrate with water.

No! Stop it!

There’s a lot.

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

Agreed.

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

In the sewer?

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

[music stopping]

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

Beyond The Gates Updates

Update written by Suzanne

In Nicole’s office at the hospital, her young assistant, Laura, asks if she’s picked a recipient winner yet for the Dupree Heritage Foundation Scholarship. Nicole hasn’t yet. She’s having a hard time deciding between all of the wonderful young people. Her other assistant, Mona, who’s older, asks her to choose a menu for the upcoming Lynx brunch. Nicole asks her to email them to her, so she can decide later. Her husband, Ted, comes in and compliments her on her beauty and youthful good looks.

Martin and Vernon discuss Dani punching Hayley. Vernon thinks that physical violence is never the answer, but he understands how Dani feels. He can’t understand how Bill can treat her so badly in their divorce. Martin notes that Bill isn’t a decent man, which Hayley will no doubt find out.

Hayley and Bill chat briefly on the phone. She tells him that it’s “been a morning.”

At home, Dani watches photos of her and Bill on a slideshow. Anita walks in and wonders what she’s doing. Dani is remembering the good times she had with Bill She doesn’t understand how he could just throw their life away. Anita sits down near her. Dani hugs her mom and cries on her shoulder.

Vernon wonders whether everything is okay with Martin because he mentioned wanting more. Martin replies that his homelife is solid. He’s just wondering what his next challenge will be. Vernon promises to help him, and Martin mentions that Vernon has already done so much for him. He owes him everything.

Dani pulls away from her mom, saying that she doesn’t want to cry because it makes her weak. She expects that Anita is going to give her a hard time for punching Hayley. Anita tells her that she wasn’t thrilled about her display of temper. Dani rants some more about Hayley’s betrayal; she says that it felt good to punch her. Anita assures her that she’s human and that sometimes folks deserve a sucker punch. She worries that Dani will make it a habit. Dani confides that she thought she was okay when they signed the divorce papers, but Bill and Hayley having their wedding at the country club and then moving in to Fairmont Crest made her angry all over again. Anita lets her know that she didn’t do anything to deserve this treatment. She urges Dani to let go of her anger, or it will eat her alive. She reminds her that she’s a Dupree, so she needs to find her inner strength and not let the losers get the best of her.

Nicole tells Ted that Bill bought the house on Marigold, so Dani went ballistic. She fills him in on the punch. She sighs that she tries to be the voice of reason with Dani, but she’s angry at Bill and Hayley herself. Ted is sympathetic. They hope Dani can move on. Ted has to get to the hospital, so she asks him if he can come by for the video bio for their awards ceremony that Andre is filming. He replies that he’ll try to be there. She reminds him that he’s Andre’s favorite uncle. He suggests that they plan a family gathering while Andre is in town, so she agrees. He kisses her neck, saying she smells good. She chuckles and sends him off.

Nurse Ashley’s mom, Jan, shows up to bring her a healthy lunch at work. Leslie and her daughter, Eva, are also there with Jan. They’re very supportive of Ashley’s new career. Eva wishes she had done something more with her life than be a hairdresser. They all assure her that there’s nothing with that, and that women always needs their hair done. Ashley thanks Jan for being such a great single mom to her and sacrificing for her. They hug.

Martin and Vernon discuss the woman in the diner yesterday that was grateful to Vernon’s years of service as senator and civil rights champion, and who also appreciated Martin. Martin compliments Vernon and how much he admires him. He remembers watching him when he was young, demonstrating, and how he was committed to non-violence, even though he was behind bars sometimes. Vernon reminds him that he was just one of so many, like Dr. King and John Louis before him. Martin worries that he hasn’t always lived up to his grandfather’s standards, but Vernon is proud of him.

Dani, still with Anita, looks at Bill and Hayley’s wedding invitation. She wishes she could stop thinking about them, like Nicole suggested, but she gets upset every time she sees their wedding preparations, etc. She wonders if she should move. Anita tells her that would be unacceptable because she belongs there. She reminds Dani that her grandfather designed and built Fairmont Crest, and she’s not going to be chased out by these interlopers. She promises that this will all pass. She just needs to get through it. Dani doesn’t know how she could have been so blind about Bill and asks her mom if she ever suspected Bill was cheating on her with Hayley. Anita lets her know that she had no clue and reminds Dani that Bill and Hayler are expert liars. Dani tells her that she plans to put all of her time and energy into making them pay. Anita looks worried.

Hayley drops by to see Nicole, who’s not happy to see her.

Back at the hospital, Eva tells Ashley that she envies her job and her relationship with hot firefighter Derek. Ashley assures her that this was all careful planning, and things are working out the way they should. She hugs her mom. Jan, Leslie, and Eva go to the elevator. Ted walks out as Leslie watches him carefully, like she knows him.

Nicole’s two assistants chat. Laura is going to Maui with her boyfriend, David, and hopes he might propose. Mona suggests that she enjoy being young and free. She points out that she hasn’t known him very long. Laura agrees and asks if Mona ever regretted not getting married or having kids. Mona replies, “No, not even for a second.” She shares that marriage is not for everyone. Laura is happy to get advice from her and says she can be like the daughter she never had. Mona gives her a strange look.

Nicole can’t believe that Hayley is there. Hayley brought her some homemade cookies. She admits that Dani’s assault at the country club was mortifying. She’s willing to forget what she did, for the sake of peace. She wants Nicole to help her assimilate into the community because she used to like Hayley. Nicole is shocked that Hayley would think she would side with her over her sister. Her loyalties always lie with Dani, especially after the double-betrayal of her and Bill. She knows that Hayley used her friendship with Naomi to steal Bill. Hayley swears that she didn’t plan to fall in love or hurt anyone. She says that she “fell in love with an inconvenient man.” Nicole replies that she’s going to have to deal with the consequences. Hayley seems oblivious to what Nicole’s saying. She goes on to declare that the damage is already done, but her support could help her. She hopes that Dani will decide to accept her. She tried apologizing already, she pouts, but Dani can’t get past her anger. Nicole tells her that Dani is hurt. She tells Hayley to take her cookies and go.

At the hospital, Nicole welcomes Ashley to the hospital. Ashley meets Shanice Johnson, her preceptor AKA her trainer. They shake hands. Shanice is impressed that Ashley knew what a preceptor is. She says that she’ll be teaching her many things, to take notes, ask questions and ask for help. Ashley follows her.

Vernon rants more to Martin about how Bill has trashed his family. He states that Anita had the right instincts about Bill. She kept him at a distance, whereas he gave him the benefit of the doubt because Dani loved him. He helped him with his practice and shared his connections with celebrities. Martin talks about Bill’s ego and how he’s a control freak and narcissist. Vernon is happy to see the end of Bill and his connection to their family.

Hayley goes to Bill’s office. He notices that her cheek is red, so she tells him that’s from Dani’s fist. Shocked and angry, he takes out his phone, but she tells him to let it go. It’s her battle, not his. She recovered from the slap with her head held high. Dani needed the win, she says graciously. He agrees, reluctantly. She pouts about her morning, which she thought would be great, since she was picking up the keys to their new home. First Vanessa gave her an earful, then Dani, and then Nicole. He can’t believe that she went to see Nicole. She thought that Nicole, being a psychologist, would be more objective. He guesses that didn’t go well. She tells him that Nicole sent her and her cookies packing. She wonders if they should elope or go to Vegas rather than have their wedding at the country club. He asks if she wants to have it there, and she does, but she doesn’t want it to be just work friends and people he knows. He thinks he can fix it.

At home, Dani gets dressed to the nines in a beautiful blue dress. She looks at the photo of her and Bill, which is cracked. She takes a shot for courage and then does her makeup.

Martin’s husband, Dani, Smitty, is on the phone with someone as he carries a basket of laundry down some stairs. He tells the person on the line that he has to make a decision. He thanks them for checking. Martin comes home, and they hug.

Andre flirts with Ashley again at the hospital. He asks if she’s still with the firefighter who stole her away. She chuckles that they were never together and makes fun of him for flirting. He takes some photos of her before he leaves, which she doesn’t see. Shanice warns Ashley against Andre, saying she doesn’t want to end up as another notch on his belt.

Vernon answers the doorbell at home when it rings. He sees Bill and tells him that he’s not welcome. Bill says amiably that he heard about the incident at the country club. He thinks this was “not cool” of Dani. Vernon asks him impatiently what he wants. Bill wants a favor from him – he wants Hayley to have guests at her wedding. He knows that Vernon can get his family and others to attend. Vernon tells him that the Dupree women want nothing to do with him or the wedding, so he can’t help him. Bill reminds him that he’s done many favors for him and his family when they needed help. Vernon glares at him as he leaves.

Eva and her mom, Leslie, are at home, plotting something. Leslie offers to do this thing without Eva being involved. Eva tells her that she’s already involved and they need to do this. She insists that Leslie deserves better.

Martin’s husband, Smitty, massages his shoulders on the couch. Martin is frustrated about how long things take in Congress. He tells him that he’s enjoyed spending time with his granddad. It reminds him of his legacy. He mentions that they adopted Samantha and Tyrell. Smitty can’t believe they’re teens already. He tells Martin that Tyrell passed his calculus test. Martin wonders if that is good enough. Smitty thinks that’s the best he can do right now. That makes Martin wonder what’s going on, so Smitty informs him that Tyrell is going through something right now… He’s been more standoffish and quiet. Martin also asks him if they should allow Samantha, who’s 16, to date. Smitty thinks that giving their permission is better than her sneaking around. Martin suggests half-jokingly that he tag along.

Vernon greets Anita when she returns home. He tells her that they have a problem.

Ted and Nicole are in her office. Andre arrives and compliments the warmth of her office. He wants to capture it on film. He also likes Ted’s practice, which has nice grounds. After Andre leaves, Ted says wistfully that Andre reminds him so much of his late brother. He’s also very glad to be with her.

Vernon fills Anita in on what Bill said. They agree that they have to protect Martin as they clasp hands.

Dani marches into Bill’s office, ignoring the receptionists that try to stop her. She grabs one of his golf clubs, sweeps everything off his desk with it, and then waves it at him threateningly. (The other people in the office scurry out of the way as she does this) She calls him a sorry S.O.B.

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

[moody music plays] You and Poppy have a daughter… Luna. Luna Nozawa. The same Luna who tried to kill me! REMY: Luna Nozawa. [sighs] Definitely didn’t think I’d run into someone like you when I agreed to help Bill with his air conditioning. Someone like me? Well, yeah. You know. Mmm. I’m not sure I do. Just a question. Should I…be concerned? The Forrester intern who murdered two people? -Former Forrester intern. -Oh, right. Guess they had to let you go. God, it’s really you. SHEILA: Your daughter’s behind bars. Probably for the rest of her life after what she did. Well… you never know. Look at me. [exhales] Hi. Hmm. What was that for? Do I need a reason? You don’t. I’m just happy. Thought I’d share it. So are you okay with me coming in for seconds? Mmm. [soft music plays] LUNA: So… Dario, right? Yeah, right. -And you’re gonna fix the AC? -That’s the plan. Supposed to get lost as soon as I’m finished. Oh, good. Yeah, ’cause Bill would go ballistic if he knew that we were talking to each other. -It would be bad for both of us. -Because… Oh, because no one knows you’re here, do they? That you’re no longer in prison. Nope. What about your family? Well, my dad isn’t really around anymore, and my mom doesn’t have a clue. It has been awful visiting Luna in prison. It is so cold. It’s brutal. Yeah. I’ve been there. Being locked up, it’s suffocating, the feeling of isolation. You know, the last time I went to visit her, she wasn’t even there. [upbeat music plays] We’re pretty lucky. You know that? Yeah, but some days it’s tough to wake up, you know? Oh, come on. Every morning, I try to -wake up in gratitude… -Oh. …no matter how hard things feel. I mean, I know some days are easier than others to see how fortunate you really are. And I know things are stressful and awful at the company but when I look at us and the kids, I feel grateful. You and me together after all these years. Thomas thriving, raising Douglas. And especially our daughter. Steffy is in such a strong place, and I couldn’t be happier for her. No, this isn’t-this isn’t happening, this isn’t real. This is just some horrible nightmare. I know it’s the last thing that you wanna hear, but you have to believe me, okay? Look, I didn’t know, all right? -I swear. -Oh. No. No. Poppy’s lying. This is just another manipulation. This is-this is a lie, Finn! Yeah, no, I wish it was, but it’s not. I’m Luna’s father. I’m sorry. I’m incredibly sorry. [intense music plays] Oh, so you went to the prison to see Luna… and she wasn’t there? All right, well, did she just not wanna see you? No. They told me she wasn’t at the facility. Did she get transferred? Maybe she had a medical appointment o-or a court date. I don’t know. They wouldn’t give me any information, just that she was still incarcerated but no longer at that prison. Wow. You must be concerned. [scoffs] As if I wasn’t worried enough about Luna. I just never thought that this would be my life… to have a daughter who could commit such horrible crimes. Luna’s gonna be locked away for the rest of her life. So, house arrest, huh? Well, in this case, mansion arrest. -Eh. Doesn’t suck. -No. I mean, it’s certainly better than prison. It almost feels kinda normal, except for this lovely accessory. So, Bill Spencer with his endless connections and resources just decided to spring you from the slammer? Are you sure you two aren’t like– Absolutely not, no, no. Bill and I are just friends. God, I need better friends. Well, um, Bill and I connected in a way that’s…hard to describe. And I trust him. That says a lot. Yeah, I bet it does. So no one knows you’re here? Only you. And, like I said, if you tell anyone… You’ll have to kill me, right? [laughs] [light music plays] RIDGE: I’m not even sure who said it or if it was on some T-shirt, but… [Taylor laughs] …gratitude is the best attitude. Well, you know what? In my professional opinion, -that’s true. -Yeah. Thank you, Doctor. But I gotta tell ya, with the company being gone, it’s not easy being grateful sometimes. Yeah, but it’s family that keeps you going. Keeps you sane. It’s always been true for me. I know it’s the same for you. How do you do that? -What? -That. Put things into perspective, make me feel it’s all gonna be okay. Well, listen, I know that everything that’s going on with the company has been upsetting, to put it mildly, professionally and personally. I don’t mean to diminish it. I get that, but… the Forrester family is strong. We’re strong. Our kids are flourishing. They’ve landed in good, solid, loving relationships– especially Steffy, after everything she’s gone through. She has Finn. He’s so supportive and devoted, and I couldn’t be more grateful for that. Look, Steffy, please. I never wanted to cause you any pain. How could you not have known, a-at least suspected? I-I didn’t. Poppy said it wasn’t possible, and I believed her. You know? And she never would have told me. I may never have found out that Luna was my daughter if my mom wouldn’t have run that paternity test, proving that Tom Starr wasn’t her father. I mean, I just… I started freaking out, and I had this terrible feeling in my gut, remembering back to that one night with Poppy. And I just–I-I had to know. So I ran a paternity test, two of ’em, and… yeah, they both proved that, um… You’re Luna’s father. You, Finn. You. Well, the two of us, we’re not so different. How do you mean? Well, circumstances keeping us away from our children. -Different circumstances. -Of course, of course. My son is being kept away by an overbearing wife. While my daughter is in prison for taking the lives of two men and almost taking another. Yeah, but you see. We both love our children more than anything. Am I right? I miss Finn so much, and I-I’m sure you miss Luna too. [sniffles] Of course I do. And she’s never gonna be a part of my life again. So you see, we’re the same. I mean, uh, I want more than anything to have a real place in my son’s life. He and Hayes mean everything to me. I-I didn’t get to be there when Finn was growing up, and with Hayes, I feel like I’m being given a second chance. I would do anything… I would give anything to have a relationship with my grandchild. [Remy sighs] Okay. Mission accomplished. Filter hasn’t been changed in ages, drain line clogged– lucky it didn’t flood. You know, for a rich guy, he sure hasn’t maintained the system. Well, Bill has people for that. Well, his people didn’t do the job. Maybe losing his house manager threw things off? Lucky for me, I guess. [laughs] You know, I wouldn’t mind doing some more of this kind of work. Well, that’s lunch money for Bill. Oh, must be nice. He told me to do the job and get out– leave out the service gate? In other words, he didn’t want you to see me. [edgy music plays] Still can’t believe how Finn and Steffy found each other. Thank you. Why can’t you believe it? I mean, he literally saved her life. Yeah. She was in that hospital room, opened her eyes, -and it was love at first sight. -Mmm! Fairy tale. But they did have their challenges. Hmm. Like Sheila showing up at their wedding, announcing that she’s Finn’s birth mother? It was just shocking. Yeah, not a great start, but they made it through. Yeah. Because the heart knows what it wants. I don’t think there’s any obstacle too large for them to overcome. Steffy, you have to believe me. I demanded the truth from Poppy years ago, but she swore the baby wasn’t mine. And then she took off pretty soon after. But what about when the baby was born? You didn’t-you didn’t suspect anything then? No. I– I believed her. I just honestly wanted to put the whole thing out of my mind and just forget that that night ever happened, -but she lied. -Of course she lied, Finn. All your life, you thought Luna was your little cousin. But she’s your daughter– the person who drugged me, put me in a cage, and wanted me dead is your daughter! [dramatic instrumentals] [mellow music plays] You know, I wasn’t a part of Finn’s life when he was growing up, and I missed out on all those firsts– the first tooth, walking, first days of school. First loves. But I really feel like I could have all of that if I could be a part of Hayes’ life. But, no, they won’t… they won’t let me. And it really breaks my heart. All I… all I want is to be a really great grandmother to my grandchild. [emotional music plays] Bill would send me back to prison if he knew that I was talking to you. Why are you? Well, I saw you, and, I don’t know, I sensed that we have a lot in common. It’s a risk, but… I figured that you’d keep my secret. I’m right, aren’t I? [laughs] Don’t worry. My lips are sealed. You know, Finn and Steffy have been very resilient. Especially Steffy. I mean, that’s not what she does. -She doesn’t cut and run. -No. Course not. But they’ve had to overcome many challenges with Finn’s family–I mean, his mother and his cousin. That was a lot, but let’s be positive. Let’s hope that there’s no more challenges and no more obstacles for the two of them. -Hmm. -[bottles clink] I don’t know what to do with all of this. First you tell me that you and Poppy were together, and I don’t blame you for that– she took advantage of you. She manipulated you and lied to you. I just–I tried to block it out, just pretend like it never happened. I didn’t think anyone would ever need to know and nothing would ever come of it. But something did come from it. You have a daughter now. And she is–she’s demented like her mother. She’s a sociopath, and she tried to kill me! I know. I know. [sighs] You–I– You can’t imagine how much I’ve been struggling with this. I mean, I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep. I’ve been just dreading the fact that I was gonna have to tell you that Luna is my daughter. Honey, it just–it kills me to see how much… …how much pain I’m causing you. First you tell me Sheila Carter is your birth mother and… …now this. -I know. -[sniffling] I just–I can’t imagine what you’re feeling. But I don’t want you to run. But… I mean, I wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to get away from this, from me, as fast as possible. I hate that you may never look at me the same way again. But honey, you have to know that I love you. I love you more than anything in this world. Please, Steffy, don’t give up on us. On our family! We didn’t let Sheila come between us, and we– we won’t let Luna either. You’re my life, honey, you, Kelly, and Hayes. Our family is all that matters to me. You and our precious children. Our precious children. You have another child, Finn. Luna. Your daughter who tried to kill me. Like how much more of this am I supposed to take?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

[“Best of My Love” by the Emotions playing]

Calvin: Good morning, Mrs. Dupree.

Anita: Good morning, Calvin.

Calvin: You look radiant.

Anita: Thank you.

Calvin: And top of the morning to you, Dr. Richardson. May I take your coat?

Nicole: Yes, thank you.

Calvin: Always a pleasure. Let me know if either of you need anything.

Thank you.

Nicole: Mother, you look beautiful as usual.

Anita: Looking pretty swank yourself. Have you spoken to Dani?

Nicole: I texted. No response.

Anita: Well, I hope no news is good news and Dani’s not out there giving her emotions free reign. If so, God help us all.


Anita: How are the boys, Jerome?

Jerome: Oh, you know, this time of year, busy, busy, busy.

Anita: Thank you, Jerome.

Jerome: Oh, my pleasure. Please, enjoy your breakfast.

Anita: Thank you. It never ceases to amaze me how two sisters can grow up in the same environment with the same advantages and turn out completely different.

Nicole: One of the things I’ve learned from my patients… People are born who they are. Outside influence either takes or doesn’t.

Anita: Dani is exactly herself. A force of nature with no apologies. My little force of nature is all over the place right now. Truthfully, I can’t fault her for that. Dani was blindsided by Bill and Hayley’s affair. And she surely never anticipated the end of her marriage. But here’s what I don’t understand, Nicole. Bill moved out months ago. I thought Dani had come to some sort of acceptance.

Nicole: She was getting there. But literally, the minute the divorce is final, Bill and Hayley are booking the country club for their wedding. Set Dani off again.


Dani: Morning, Vanessa.

Vanessa: Oh, well, so much for stop by for a cup of coffee.

Dani: Plenty more mugs where those came from.

Vanessa: Is that? You still have the wedding invitation. Why didn’t you do what everyone else in Fairmont did and toss it in the garbage?

Dani: It’s the audacity. I can’t get over it. It’s bad enough Bill’s marrying that traitor. But to do it here? I will be the laughingstock of Fairmont.

Vanessa: Who are you? And what have you done with Dani? You are picking a hell of a time to start caring about what people think. Besides You’re not factoring in the Dupree of it all. Your family rules this community. Your grandfather built it. Everyone’s on your side.

Dani: Be nice to think so.

Vanessa: Fact! Know what you need? Dedicated spa time. Get your head out of Bill and Hayley for a couple hours and put yourself in therapeutic hands.

Dani: Tempting. Maybe later. I have to meet my mother and sister at the club. They’re worried about me.


Anita: I never did care for Bill. Oh, I put on a good show for the sake of peace in the family, but There were red flags from the very beginning.. Even when he was hiding behind that public servant persona No, that didn’t last long soon as Bill married Dani his true ambition came out just in time to use your father for a leg up Once the criminal law practice took off, we got the real Bill Hamilton with his shiny suits and pocket squares. That calculated charm reminded me of some of the shadier denizens of the music business. Oh, they charm you silly while they took everything. Your money, your gift, your talent, your looks, your pride. Too many talented girls fell into that trap and were never heard from again.

Nicole: Not you.

Anita: I kept my eye on the prize. I was going to be the best at anything I took on. And I wanted to take on the world. No way was I going to be seduced off my path by some jive turkey trying to get over.

Nicole: Well, I wish Dani inherited that gene.

Anita: I often think how different her life would be if she didn’t give up her career for Bill. I tried to warn her. Use your father as an example. Vernon embraced who I was. Never once tried to change me. But, you know your sister. Gets her mind set and that’s it. Nothing would do but to become Mrs. Bill Hamilton. And here we are. Bill’s about to marry the proverbial younger woman and Dani’s a powder keg primed to explode.

Nicole: Naomi.

Anita: She’s still joining us?

Nicole: Just running late. Says something came up.


Ashley: Derek! You didn’t have to do this.

Derek: Sure I did. My lady’s turning the page on a brand new chapter. You need to meet it well fortified.

Ashley: Wow.

Derek: Welcome to the rest of your life, Nurse Ashley Morgan.


Dani: Hang tight, I just got a touch base with Chelsea.

Chelsea: Hey, Mom, what’s up?

Dani: I’m just calling to remind you about your wardrobe fitting later today.

Chelsea: Believe it or not, I know how to keep a calendar.

Dani: Well, it is my job to make sure you are where you’re supposed to be when you are supposed to be there. And so far, I think it’s served you well. Agreed?

Chelsea: Whatever, gotta go.

Dani: Ungrateful little brat.

Vanessa: Do me a favor. Don’t channel your anger and frustration with Bill into riding poor Chelsea. I don’t think you realize the pressure you put on that girl.

Dani: Well, excuse me while I find my tiny violin. Chelsea is a successful model making big bucks. She’s got millions of followers on social media eager to like and copy whatever she does.

Vanessa: It’s a life any 23 year old would kill for. The life you wanted.

Dani: The life I had.

Vanessa: I wish I’d known you in your modeling days. You must have been something.

Dani: Those were some good times. I had so much to prove. That I was grown, even though I was a baby. That I could make it doing what I wanted to do. The entire time terrified out of my mind. But I pulled it off. Fake it till you make it? That was me. The most seemingly confident 17 year old ever on the planet. Until Chelsea came along.


Chelsea: Just when I think mom can’t be a bigger control freak, my phone rings again. Oh, God, Kat, I hate my life.

Kat: We’ll be changing it soon enough. In the meantime, embrace what you do. People will be interested in our brand because you’re Chelsea Hamilton. Fashion icon and social media influencer. We’ll be tapping into that a lot, so don’t knock it.

Chelsea: I just want to get on with it, you know? Once we launch my purse line, we’ll be on our way to giving the Kardashians a run for their money. I’m just not sure about the timing. Mom’s a pain, but it doesn’t feel right to walk out on her just yet.

Kat: But we agreed on a timetable.

Chelsea: I know, I know, but that was before Dad dumped Mom for Hayley. And these last few weeks, since the divorce was finalized and wedding prep started at the club, Mom’s been like insane. If I quit now, she’ll have lost everything that defines her. She gets on my nerves, but that’s my mom. I love her, and I don’t know if I can pull that trigger.


Anita: Mmm. Don’t think all this focus on Dani has made me forget you’re being honored. Now, what’s this award again? I mean, there are so many, it’s hard to keep track.

Nicole: Look who’s talking, Miss EGOT. It’s the State of Maryland Distinguished Service Award in Psychiatry.

Anita: Right. Vernon received one for his work in the movement.

Nicole: It’s a nice plaque.

Anita: It is a fitting tribute for the wonderful, healing work that you do. You consistently make your father and me very proud. Sometimes we don’t say that enough.


Wedding Planner: The wedding’s just a couple days away and you still haven’t given me a final headcount.

Hayley: I’d like all invited guests to be accommodated.

Wedding Planner: I’m sorry, I thought most of them either hadn’t responded or they sent regrets.

Hayley: True, but I’m an optimist by nature. Don’t worry about cost, money’s no object. Excuse me.


Hayley: Dani. Wait.

Dani: What?

Hayley: There it is. The animosity. Feels like something physical. I hate it, Dani. You, Chelsea, especially Naomi. We’re like the family I never had. We were close. And I realized that I can never have it back in that way, but surely there’s something we can salvage.

Dani: You really are a piece of work. I thought we were close too, Hayley. So did Naomi, your so-called best friend. We opened our hearts to the poor little orphan girl all alone in the world. Made a place for you at our table. And you paid us back by stealing Bill? My husband? My daughter’s father?

Hayley: I didn’t intend to hurt anyone.

Dani: How do you live with yourself? How do you look yourself in the mirror every day and walk around this world thinking you’re a good person when you betrayed the people who cared about you? And now you want it to be what? Bygones?

Hayley: If we could just find a way to be civil.

Dani: Back up, Hayley. This conversation is over.


Ashley: Do you have any idea how much I appreciate you? You’ve always been so patient and supportive. I know it hasn’t always been easy.

Derek: Right. Because being with you is such hardship.

Ashley: And to be frustrating. All those nights you wanted to make plans like a normal couple and I blew you off to go study.

Derek: Garland Memorial has no idea what an asset it’s getting today.

Ashley: I’ve wanted this all my life. When I was little. Every Halloween I had to be a nurse. Somehow I knew it was important work even though I didn’t quite understand what that work was. And it meant easing pain. Saving lives. Being of comfort. ”

Derek: You’ll be great. Know why? Because you’re one of the most selfless people I have ever known.

Ashley: I’m honored that you love me.


Dani: Well, I just ran into Hayley. Do you know how much I loathe that woman?

Anita: Well, good morning to you too.

Dani: I can’t believe I let myself be taken in by that cheap conniver. I trusted her. Hell, I’m the one who convinced Bill to hire her. Let’s all laugh about that. Meanwhile, she’s moving in on him. I’m no Hayley fan by any means, but last time I checked, it takes two. And I’m willing to bet Bill was the instigator.

Wouldn’t have been the first time he cheated.

Dani: Look, I’m not making any excuses, but before Hayley, Bill kept his affairs away from home, which made it easier to pretend it wasn’t happening. He got with Hayley right under our roof. I will never forget either of them for that.


Caroline: Law offices of Bill Hamilton Esquire. How may I help you? I’ll let him know. Thank you.

Bill: What is with this schedule? You do realize I’m getting married at the week.

Caroline: I also know you’ll be taking off on your honeymoon, which is why I’ve scheduled you within an inch of your life for the next two days.

Bill: Well, hopefully none of my clients will commit a heinous crime this week. Is Hayley in?

Caroline: At the new house, picking up the keys.

Bill: You know what this is, Caroline?

Caroline: What?

Bill: A new dawn.


Hayley: Hey, Vanessa.

Vanessa: Hayley.

Hayley: You realize that’s the last time I’ll ever have to ring that doorbell? Finally getting the keys to our brand new home. I can’t believe I’m going to be living in Fairmont Crest.

Vanessa: Frankly, neither can I. Mind if I ask, what are you thinking?

Hayley: Excuse me?

Vanessa: You and Bill could live anywhere. Instead, you choose Dani’s community, and make no mistake, it is Dani’s community. Not Bill’s. And these upstanding citizens will rally around all things Dupree and freeze you out.

Hayley: Sell many homes with that negative attitude?

Vanessa: The women who live inside these gates? You’re their worst nightmare. The sexy younger husband thief.

Hayley: But it wasn’t like that. Bill and I didn’t set out to fall in love. Trust me, life would be a lot easier.

Vanessa: No one will care how you justify it. You’ll be a social outcast.

Hayley: Well, I’m choosing to stay positive. Sure, it’ll take time to be accepted. I’m sure Dani’s poisoning everyone against me. But, I am confident that if I’m patient and persistent, things will work out. They always do. I assume the designer has finished furnishing the house?

Vanessa: All done.

Hayley: Excellent. I can’t wait to take a look around. Thanks so much for your help and your discretion.

Vanessa: Just doing my job. Good luck, honey. You’re going to need it.


Oh, Congressman Richardson, man. Good to see you.

Martin: Good to be seen.

Will you be having the usual?

The usual it is.

Martin: Granddad.

Vernon: Martin.

Martin: You’re looking awfully pleased with yourself.

Vernon: Taking a moment of reflection.

Martin: Well, it’s good to appreciate your blessings. Yeah, show gratitude, and God will keep them coming. Words to live by?

Vernon: Uh, look no further than here. I got a magical wife, and she can sing. Beautiful family. I’ve managed to do some good in this world. Of course, a lot of that hard work is being undone, but my grandson is in the trenches. Yeah, doing his part. To make it right. And I get to cheer him on from the sidelines in retired glory. What, what’s not to be grateful for? A life well lived, indeed.

Martin: And I still want to be just like you when I grow up.

Vernon: I’d say you’re about half way there. Making a difference for your constituents. Solid marriage. Couple of terrific kids.

Martin: I know, but…

Vernon: But what?

Martin: I want more. I just haven’t figured out what more is yet.


Jacob: So what’s your day like, bae?

Naomi: Um, settlement conference this afternoon. But first order of business is checking in on mom.

Jacob: Well, have you spoken to your dad?

Naomi: No. That’s the way I like it.

Jacob: You and your dad used to be tight, Naomi.

Naomi: Yeah, well, that was a long time ago. And apparently not tight enough to stop him from sleeping with my so called best friend. You know what? I don’t want to talk about him. Especially when you’re standing there all fine in plain clothes, distracting me again. I swear, Jacob Hawthorne, you make it hard to leave this house. Here’s a thought. Let’s not. Let’s cancel everything but each other today.

Jacob: Come on. Baby, you know I want to. But the D.C. Metro Police Department frowns on a brand new robbery homicide detectives playing hooky with their wives.

Naomi: I don’t know about this new gig of yours, then. When you were a beat cop, we got to sneak in breaks.

Jacob: Well, that just means I have to work harder when I get home there, right? Or, before you leave Oh, Naomi Hamilton iPhone?

Naomi: Hmm. Yeah, we’re bad, know that? It’s the way you like it, right?

Jacob: Yeah.


How is it?

Vernon: Pretty good. As usual.

Bessie: I am so sorry to interrupt.

Vernon: That’s why we’re here. To be accessible to the community. What’s on your mind?

Bessie: When I glanced over here and I saw one of my heroes, Vernon Dupree, That’s an honor.

Vernon: Aren’t you kind. What’s your name?

Bessie: I’m Bessie. I was involved in the movement back in the 70’s, too. Now, I wasn’t as good as you, of course, but I did do my time.

Vernon: How awesome is that?

Bessie: I’m a big fan of Anita’s as well. Her group was so inspirational. It’s just living proof that black girls can come right out of their projects and conquer the world. Well, I’m not going to take any more of your time. I just wanted to let you know that your service in the movement and also as a senator is much, much appreciated.

Vernon: It was my privilege. Thank you for stopping by, Bessie.

Bessie: Thank you, Senator. Have a good day.

Vernon: Is that right there? That’s the kind of interaction that wins voters permanently. The small, personal moments. People never forget them.

Martin: Voters don’t forget a brush with greatness, either. You’re an icon, Granddad. And there’s no doubt about that.


Bill: Ha ha ha! Wayne! It’s been too long, man.

Wayne: Thanks for seeing me on such short notice. I know you’re busy.

Bill: Aw, come on, man. Never too busy for an old friend. I still miss seeing you out in the field, by the way. You’re not here to rehash your glory days. How can I help you?

Wayne: It’s my son. He’s in serious trouble.

Bill: Why don’t you let me be the judge of that? Here, sit. Tell me what’s going on.

Wayne: Terry has a drug problem. He broke into someone’s home and he stole money and jewelry. And a security camera got a clear shot of him and he got arrested.

Bill: Is he in custody?

Wayne: No, I was able to bail him out. But the victims are determined to press charges.

Bill: Okay, and they are?

Wayne: Um, uh, Jerry and Diana Overton.

Bill: Oh, he owns World Tech Innovations.

Wayne: I don’t want my son’s life to be trashed before it’s even started. So I was hoping It’s you could represent him.

Bill: I’ll do even better than that. I’ll make the whole thing go away.


Dani: Every time I think about Hayley, another blood vessel explodes in my head.

Nicole: Here’s a suggestion. Don’t. Don’t think about Hayley or Bill. They’re not worth it.

Dani: Well, it must be wonderful to be you. With your perfect husband, and your perfect marriage, no must, no fuss, right? Just smooth sailing through life with a man who not only wouldn’t cheat on you, but also doesn’t seem to know that any other woman exists on the planet.

Anita: Don’t be snarky with your sister. Nicole’s just trying to help.

Nicole: It’s okay. I recognize I’ve been luckier in love than Dani. Blessed in a way she hasn’t. She needs to take pot shots at me to feel better. I’m good with it.

Dani: Thank you for your permission, Nicole. I just truly wonder if you think that telling me to not think about Bill and Hayley is at all helpful.

Anita: Okay, I know this isn’t easy, but Nicole is not wrong. Obsessing over what’s past isn’t hurting the two of them. They’re moving forward, post haste. But it’s keeping you stuck in a cycle of anger, and that isn’t healthy, baby.

Dani: Oh, I’ll be healthy again. As soon as I make a couple of cheaters pay for blowing up my life.


Ashley: These last two years with you have been the best ever.

Derek: I feel the same way. I can’t imagine my life without you anymore.

Ashley: Good. Because I’m not going anywhere.

Derek: Except the hospital. We gotta hit.

Ashley: What? Wait, you’re taking me?

Derek: And picking you up. You get the full service from me today.

Ashley: Oh really? I’m gonna hold you to that later.

Derek: Please do.

Ashley: I love you, Derek. You’re the only man I’ll ever want.

Derek: It’s go time. Ready?

Ashley: Ready.


Jacob: What’s that, babe?

Naomi: It’s a gift for Ashley.

Jacob: Jacob: Oh yeah, it’s her first day on the job. Wait, what’d we get her?

Naomi: A stethoscope on a chain.

Jacob: Oh, okay. I mean, that’s cool, right?

Naomi:I, uh, got you something, too. Actually, it’s for both of us.

Jacob: Oh, yeah? Mm hmm. Well, let’s see. Really?

Naomi:Now, I expect my detective husband to arrest me tonight for a serious crime.

Jacob: Well, I’ll drum up the charges and wrap the warrant.

Naomi:Okay.

Jacob: Turn around.

Naomi:Oh, my God!


So what am I looking at here? Golf for business or pleasure?

Martin: For inspiration. A couple of kids in my district expressed interest. Granddad and I are going to give them a crash course on the basics. Expand their horizons a little.

Anita: I love that about you. Always looking to inspire our youth. Turn them on to something new. I’m so proud of you, son.

Dani: On that, my sister and I can agree.

Uh oh. You two disagreeing?

Nicole: Mother and I are trying to convince Dani Bill is not worth the grief she’s putting herself through.

Dani: And I resent the implication that I created the situation.

No one is saying that.

Dani: Good. Because I’m not the one who cheated. Ever. I was the one who was cheated on. Dumped. Remember?

I’m sorry. I’m with Mom and Grandmother. Good riddance to that guy. You’re better off without him.

Dani: Well, what all you well meaning people don’t seem to understand is that Bill and I got married when I was 19. My entire adult life revolved around him and our family.

Nicole: Erasing yourself was your first mistake.

Anita: Let Dani have her say.

Dani: Right, wrong, indifferent, that’s how it was. Bill’s world that I lived in. My focus was the home that I created for him, the daughters I gave him. Now the girls are out of the house, Bill is gone, everything. Every routine that was familiar has been upended. And that wasn’t the way it was supposed to be. Bill and I were supposed to be together forever. That was the pact.

Right.

Dani: But he broke it. And I don’t know what to do with that. It’s, it’s confusing. It’s angering. And I have every right to those feelings.

Vernon: Yes, you do. Just remember, you’ve given that man power he didn’t earn. That devotion you gave to Bill? He threw it back in your face. And he walked away with his little chippy. He is unworthy of even one of your tears. But come on now. Who’s the best?

Dani: Me.

Vernon: Who’s the brightest?

Dani: Me.

Vernon: That’s right. Never forget that.

Dani: Maybe you’re all right. Maybe I should just let go.

Anita: If you can do that, praise Jesus.


Chelsea: Check out granddad working his magic. He actually got Mom to laugh. Didn’t realize how much I miss hearing that.

Kat: Can I ask you a question?

Chelsea: When did you start checking first?

Kat: You haven’t said much about your father. Maybe you’d rather not go there?

Chelsea: Nothing’s off limits with us, Kat. You’re not just my cousin, you’re my best friend. Ask whatever you want. Do you hate him?

Kat: I hate what he did. The awful way he treated my mom. Like all their years together. Our family meant nothing. But he’s my dad. I don’t know how to hate him.

Naomi: Wanna take lessons from me?

Chelsea: Hey, sis.

Naomi: Chelsea, Kat.

You okay?

I’m good.

Am I hallucinating or is our mother actually smiling?

I know, right? Long time no see. I think we should take advantage of the sun while it’s out.


Bill: All done. The Overtons won’t be pressing charges.

Wayne: That was amazing.

Bill: Connections and favors, man. That’s what makes the world go round.

Wayne: Whatever you charge, it’s well worth the cost.

Bill: No, no, no charge.

Wayne: You’re kidding? You just saved my kid.

Bill: All I did was make a phone call. You just owe me one. You see? It all balances out.


Vernon: So there I was, middle of the night, dead of winter, trying to not only find a store that was open, But one that sold Asian pears. I never even heard of Asian pears. But that’s what my pregnant wife wanted, so off I went.

What can I say? Dani was demanding even in the womb.

Nicole: That’s my sister. Difficult from the jump.

Dani: Don’t hate because I know what I want.

Anita: And you managed to find a couple too. A little bruised, but you weren’t gonna hear me complain.

Martin: Your dedication to a cause is truly a thing of wonder, Granddad.

Oh, you know how Daddy is when it comes to his baby girl. What Dani wants, Dani gets.

Vernon: Oh, it wasn’t about Dani. It was about this woman right here. If Anita asked, I’d run through fire then and now.

Hi. Hope you’re paying attention. That’s relationship goals right there.

Naomi: Nope, not interested. It’s a single life for me.

Anita: Oh, you just haven’t met the one yet. When you do, you’ll change your tune.

Nicole: Or not. There is nothing wrong with being single.

This from the woman who’s been married most of her life.

Mm hmm. You’re gonna be alright, sissy.

Hmm.


Andre: Congratulations. Uh, Nicole told me you were starting today.

Ashley: Look who landed. The elusive Andre Richardson. We haven’t seen much of you lately.

Andre: Yeah, I’ve been keeping busy.

Ashley: Jet-setting around, taking amazing pictures of tropical islands and luxury resorts.

Andre: Yeah, it’s a dirty job.

Ashley: What brings you home? Is it a hit and run, or are you staying a while?

Andre: Uh, I’m in between gigs. So I offered to shoot on Nicole’s video bio for her latest award. Yeah, I’m checking out the hospital for potential locations. And since I’m around, I volunteered to shoot a fashion layout for Chelsea. After that, I’m open. Especially to suggestions from the lovely Nurse Ashley.


Bill: Hey babe, how’s the house?

Hayley: Uh, above and beyond my wildest dreams, babe.

Bill: Hey, that was the plan, right? Where are you now?

Hayley: I’m at the country club, about to go to the restaurant for a bite. I am famished.

Bill: So am I, but not for food. I was thinking we could meet at my hotel suite this afternoon.

Hayley: We might be able to work something out one last time before the wedding.

Bill: One last time?

Hayley: Yes.


Anita: Vernon and I make it a practice to count our blessings and express gratitude every day. And this is today’s moment for me. Of course, it’s trying time because one of our own is in pain. But it warms my heart to see this beautiful family that Vernon and I created together in this way. To think, a march on Washington in the 70s resulted in the existence of such remarkable, accomplished human beings. I am so proud of each and every one of you.

Vanessa: Sorry to hit and run, but Vanessa McBride Realty is popping and I’ve got a showing. As the seller’s agent, I’ve been bound by confidentiality. But now that we’ve closed, I wanted you guys to hear it from me. The home that was for sale on Marigold Road? Bill bought it.

Wait. In Fairmont?

Vanessa: Hayley picked up the keys this morning.

Dani: Are you freaking kidding me? So now the plan is to flaunt this woman in my face forever?

You’re right. It’s outrageous, but what can we do? Bill can buy wherever he chooses.

Vanessa: I’m sorry to dump this on you, but I really have to go.

Dani: I don’t believe this. They’re moving in and I’m just supposed to lie down for this? I’m done being disrespected. Done.

Baby, now…

Dani: You have a hell of a lot of nerve. Getting married at the country club is disrespectful enough. But then you and Bill leave. It’s one thing to move into this community? Expect me to live down the way from my cheating ex husband and his piece of trash new wife while you all go on about your Married business having no consequences for what you did? No That will not happen

Hayley: Dani…You’re upset. I get that Let’s not do this.

Dani: Shut up – I’m talking. You could have stopped this, Hayley. You could have dug way down for a shred of decency and told Bill that buying here was not only a terrible idea, it was heartless. You could have told him that the two of you had inflicted enough damage. And you could have stayed in the home that Bill bought when he left. Or moved to another community. But you went along with living in Fairmont. Who knows? Maybe it was your idea. Well, let me be the first to give you a housewarming present.

Woman at bar: Welcome to Fairmont Crest.

Beyond The Gates Updates

Update written by Suzanne

First, some family background to help you out: The main family of this soap is the wealthy Dupree family. Grandfather Vernon was an activist and senator. His wife, Anita, was a singer who raised their family and supported his work (Both are now retired). Anita dresses in fancy clothes, but with her own personal tastes. Everyone on the show dresses very well. They have two daughters: Dani (a former model) and Nicole, a successful doctor. Nicole is married to a surgeon, Ted. They have two children: Martin, an ambitious congressman, and Kat, who’s starting a business with her cousin, Chelsea. Ted has a nephew, Andre, who’s a photographer. Martin is gay and has a husband, Smitty, a former reporter. They have two teens, Tyrell and Samantha. Dani has two daughters, Naomi and Chelsea. Her ex-husband, Bill, is a savvy attorney. He and Dani are divorced, and he’s marrying a former family friend, Hayley. Naomi’s best friend is Ashley, a nurse. Ashley is married to Derek, a firefighter. Naomi’s boyfriend is Jacob, a police detective.

SUMMARY:

Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson drives her car into the gated community of Fairmont Crest while the song “Best of My Love” by The Emotions plays. She and her mom, Anita Dupree, are welcomed into the country club restaurant by the host, Calvin (clearly they eat there a lot). Anita and Nicole hug and sit down. They talk about Dani, another daughter, who’s supposed to be there, but neither has heard from her. Anita hopes that Dani isn’t giving her emotions free freight. The waiter, Jerome, greets them. Anita sighs that Nicole and Dani are so different. They talk about how Dani’s ex-husband, Bill, cheated on her with Hayley. Dani is still reeling from the end of her marriage, and now that Bill and Hayley are getting married there at the club, it’s set her off again (even though she and Bill have been divorced for a while now).

Dani is in her kitchen, looking upset and making coffee. She has two mugs. She throws one across the room. It smashes against the wall. She tries to calm down, but instead, she throws the other mug, too. Her good friend Vanessa drops by for a visit. She sees the mug debris on the floor and makes a funny comment. She can’t believe it when she sees that Dani still has the invitation to Bill and Hayley’s wedding. She thinks Dani should have thrown it into the garbage like most people have. Dani feels humiliated, but Vanessa assures her that she shouldn’t be embarrassed because her family rules Fairmont. She suggests they have a spa day to make her feel better. Dani likes the idea, but she has to meet her mom and sister.

Anita mentions to Nicole that she never liked Bill and felt that he just used them to get ahead and become more upper crust. It reminds her of how men acted in the music business (when she was a singer years ago). She wishes Dani had taken her advice and not given up her modeling career. Naomi texts Nicole to let her know that she’s running late. Naomi, meanwhile, is having sex with her husband, Jacob Hawthorne.

New nurse Ashley Morgan is greeted by her husband, Derek, in their kitchen. He is wearing pants and an apron (no shirt) as he offers her breakfast. He wanted to do something special for her on her first day as nurse.

Dani phones her daughter, Chelsea, to remind her about her wardrobe fitting later on. Chelsea is annoyed that her mom doesn’t think she can handle her life. After she gets off the phone, Dani remarks to Vanessa that her daughter is a brat. Chelsea is a model (and influencer) like Dani was when she was younger. Vanessa wishes she had known Dani back when she was a model. Dani speaks fondly of those days, saying that she faked confidence that she didn’t have.

Chelsea gripes about her mom to her cousin, Kat. Kat reminds her that they’re going to be starting their new line of purses, so they will be making their mark. Chelsea isn’t sure that she wants to abandon her mom just yet.

Nicole is going to receive an important award, so Anita tells her that she’s very proud of her. Nearby, Hayley is chatting with her wedding planner – giving her instructions. The planner points out that most of the invited guests haven’t responded, but Hayley dismisses the idea that there is any problem. She spies Dani, who’s just walked in. Hayley tells her that she’s upset that Dani and her family all hate her. She wonders if they can salvage their relationships. Dani tears into her for stealing Bill, saying that she betrayed them all. Hayley asks if they can find a way to be civil to each other, but Dani’s not having it.

Ashley thanks Derek for his support, as she sits on his lap. He is proud of her starting her new job as a nurse at Garland Memorial. He praises her for being so selfless, and they kiss.

Dani arrives at the table where Anita and Nicole sit, griping about Hayley. They remind her that Bill is also to blame, and in fact, he cheated before that. Dani is aware of that, but is more insulted that he slept with the woman that they had taken in, right under their roof. Dani makes fun of Nicole having the perfect husband and family.

Bill arrives at his office. His assistant, Caroline, has given him a very heavy schedule. She knows that he’ll be off on his honeymoon soon, so that’s why she’s given him so much to do before that. Bill tells her earnestly that “This is a new dawn.”

Hayley gets the keys for her new home in Fairmont Crest from Vanessa, her realtor. Vanessa wonders why she and Bill picked the same community where Bill’s family lives. She points out that everyone will freeze Hayley out, socially, thinking of her as the “sexy, younger, husband thief.” Hayley is optimistic that people will come around. Vanessa wishes her luck, sarcastically, saying that she’s going to need it.

Vernon, Anita’s retired Senator husband, meets his grandson, Martin, at a diner called Orphy Gene’s. It’s clear that they go there often. Vernon counts his many blessings and praises Martin for following in his footsteps to make a difference in their community. Martin declares that he wants more, but he’s not sure what that is yet.

Naomi checks in via text with her mom and Dani. She undresses Jacob again, to have more sex. Jacob is a police detective at the DC police department.

A woman, Bessy, walks up to Vernon and Martin at the diner. She chats with them about how she was also involved with the civil rights movement in the 70’s. She admires Anita as well, and his work as a senator. They shake hands, and he’s glad to hear from her. Vernon points out to Martin that this is the best way to get people to vote for you – talking to them personally and giving them attention.

A man named Wayne (a former football player) visits Bill in his office to ask him for help. He tells him that his son, Terry, was arrested. He’d gotten in trouble with drugs, so he broke into someone’s home to steal jewelry and cash. He tells Bill that the couple he stole from were Diana and Jerry Overton. Bill tells him that he’ll make this go away.

Dani and Nicole bicker (in front of Anita) about marriage. Naomi thinks that Dani should stop obsessing about Bill and Hayley; Anita agrees. Dani doesn’t like that advice and wants to make the cheaters pay.

Derek leaves with Ashley, saying that he’ll take her to the hospital and pick her up after her shift. She’s impressed with how much he’s spoiling her. They kiss.

Naomi tells Jacob that she has a gift for Ashley – a stethoscope on a nice chain. She also got him a gift: pink, fuzzy handcuffs. He puts them on her

Vernon and Martin join Anita, Dani and Nicole. Dani vents that everything she had is one, telling Nicole that she has a right to her feelings. Vernon says soothing things to Dani, which calms her down. He agrees with her, saying that Bill is not worth her tears. They do a little verbal thing that seems like they’ve done it many times in the past, where he gets her to say that she’s the best and brightest. She agrees to let it go.

Chelsea and Kat sit nearby, admiring how Vernon got Dani to cheer up and actually laugh. Naomi comes in and joins them. Chelsea’s not sure how she feels about hating her dad for all he did, but Naomi already feels that way. They go over to join the rest of the family in the lounge.

Ashley starts her first day as nurse at the hospital.

Bill gets the Overtons to drop the charges. Wayne is astonished and how quickly that happened. He’s even more shocked when Bill tells him that there’ll be no charge. Bill tells him that he owes him one.

Vernon tells his family a story (that they’ve probably heard many times already) about trying to find Asian pears when Anita was pregnant with Dani. They talk about family and marriage. Naomi says she plans to stay single. Nicole tells her that there’s nothing wrong with that.

At the hospital, Andre, a photographer (Naomi’s husband’s nephew), chats with Ashley and congratulates her on her first day. He flirts with her as well.

Bill has a short video chat with Hayley. They make a date to have some sexy time in his hotel room.

Vanessa arrives at the club briefly to tell Dani that Bill and Hayley bought a house in Fairmont Crest. Dani is outraged, saying that she’s done being disrespected. She approaches Hayley and yells at her for moving into the house. She slaps Hayley, hard. The rest of the family each glare at Hayley as they walk out, one at a time. A woman sitting nearby, played by guest star Karen Huger of “The Real Housewives of The Potomac.” She says to Hayley, “Welcome to Fairmont Crest.”

NATE: So, it seems some progress was made. Amy and Damian were able to talk, clear the air slightly. That’s great. There’s still some wounds that need to be healed, but Amy said they hugged before he left, and he agreed to see her again. That is a huge step for them both. NATE: I saw Damian at the club afterwards. He seems to have softened towards Amy. It feels like he’s ready to try to heal things between them. Just amazing. What a relief. I was so worried for Amy. I think she’s still nervous to get her hopes up, but at least she got to explain her side of things to her son. Hopefully, that will be enough to keep Amy going. I know she was so down after her last meeting with him, the way she talked about leaving town. I didn’t like the idea any more than you do. She shouldn’t be alone, especially right now with her condition. There’s been some progress made on that front as well. I convinced Amy to let me have another doctor take a look at her medical records. Nate, that is wonderful. No guarantees, but we can thank positive thoughts. Yes, we can. Uh, you have done so much to support Amy. Damian, too, even if he’s not ready to see it. Without you, they might never have reestablished their relationship. Some of this is thanks to you. What do you mean? I think Holden may have pushed Damian to give Amy another chance. I’m pretty sure that’s because of you. You charmed Holden. It’s not what you missed. It’s what I missed. You were right, Adam. What was I right about? About us. About not trying to fight this. God knows I’ve tried, but I can’t pretend anymore. I… I can’t pretend I’m not falling for you all over again. CHELSEA: Hey. Hey. What are you doing? I don’t know. Are you playing a game against yourself or just lost in thought? Both. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ Hey, how’s it going? Hey, it’s all good. I’m actually just getting some work done before I head into the office. Where’s your mom? I’m not sure. I haven’t heard from her today. What, are you meeting her? Yeah, I thought so. Set it up, you know, a couple days ago. I called this morning to confirm. Never heard back from her. Well, she’s probably on her way. Hey. I came as fast as I could. I just had meetings at work I couldn’t get out of.

That’s fine.

Any luck? [Daniel sighing] No word from, no sign of Mom. You? Oh, I’ve been trying to call her, and it just goes straight to voicemail. Daniel, what’s going on? I don’t know. Okay, well, I think that we’re past the point of any reasonable excuse. She didn’t show up for breakfast. She’s nowhere to be found. I mean, if she was just running late, she still would have shown up hours ago. It can’t just be that she lost her phone. I spoke with Chance again earlier. He’s got nothing. And I talked to the front desk and nobody’s seen her in a couple days. Okay, listen, I’ve checked in with the clinics. I’ve checked in with the emergency rooms, the urgent care. I even checked in with Lucy’s school just to make sure that they hadn’t heard from her. Nothing. We’re running out of people to ask. And places to look. I can’t ignore it anymore. It seems like something really serious has happened to Mom. You know, there is one house rule we have yet to discuss. Is it a requirement of me living here that I need to learn how to play chess? Well, if you want me to teach you, I will. I’ll think about it. I thought you’d be at work right now. Oh, I should be. But your son conned me.

He conned you?

CHELSEA: Yeah. I mean, nothing like the scams I used to pull at his age, thank God, but yesterday, he told me he just wanted to relax today on his day off from school. And then this morning, he’s like, “Hey, Mom, “remember how you wanted to go ice skating?” So, he made it seem like it was your idea.

That’s a good tactic.

Yeah.

Did it work?

CHELSEA: Oh, it sure did. Yeah, we’re heading there shortly. He’s at the Tack House with Johnny, but he should be back soon. Our son can make us do just about anything. He’s got a sweet face, but he’s lethal. Gets it from you. It’s hard to resist. You know, maybe you’re just a softie. Oh, excuse me. He got you yesterday.

No, he did not.

CHELSEA: Yes, he did. He certainly did. I can’t believe you let him convince you to change your movie pick. It was your night to choose. I was persuaded, okay? You were just unhappy with the change. We subjected you to a sports movie. I was pumped for a comedy. Well, you are as deceitful, okay? You claim that you don’t like Rudy, and then you sobbed through the whole thing. I did not sob. I heard sniffling. Allergies.

We were indoors.

[Chelsea laughing]

It’s winter.

Okay, you got me. I’m a sucker for an underdog story. Sue me. And you know, you’re one to talk. You were getting very emotional at the ending. Well, it was the same allergies that you have. Liar. It was a fun night, though, wasn’t it? It was. When I wasn’t crying, it was great. Ah, so you admit it. [Chelsea sighing] This is good. The three of us living here together. It’s good for everybody, but especially for Connor. I… I didn’t know what to expect, but he’s thriving. Yeah, right?

CHELSEA: Yeah. Yeah.

He loves it. Being with his cousins, spending so much time outside… [Chelsea sighing] …you were right. This change was good for him. Well, I think it’s more than that. He has immediate access to both of his parents now. The way that it used to be. I, uh… I can’t take credit for Damian’s change of heart. But you did speak to Holden about him, didn’t you? Made an appeal? I did ask Holden to try to convince Damian to give Amy another chance. There you go. But by that point, Damian was already leaning in that direction. Maybe what you said to Holden was the final push they needed. Maybe. I hope Damian wants to stick around because that would mean he feels a deeper connection to Amy than he’s admitted. I think that’s part of it, hopefully. What else would it be? You think it has to do with me? A brotherly connection? I actually think it could be something else. According to Holden, Damian met someone here. A woman? I guess this person, whoever she is, has compelled Damian to remain in town. Huh. I wonder if it’s Lily. Lily? Why would you think that? She showed up at the Athletic Club when Damian and I were there. I tried to introduce them, but apparently they already met. Hm. Interesting. Maybe I should thank my cousin, of all people, for Damian’s decision to give Amy another chance. Okay, let’s just calm down, try and take a second, and try and think like Mom. Right. Yeah, if we can get into her head, maybe we can figure out what’s happened. So, where would she go? What would she do? That’s the thing. I– I have no idea. Things are good. She has no reason to bolt. She’s been focusing on uniting us as a family and then this business venture with you and Billy. I know she wasn’t happy that Billy went to Paris with Sally. But would she really run off because of that? Probably not. I– Honestly, I don’t know. Look, I love Mom, but let’s face it, she doesn’t always make the best decisions. Unfortunate, but true. We’re talking about the same woman here who pretended to be dead and then attended her own funeral? Okay, can you just not remind me of that right now, please? And those were very different circumstances. Mom felt isolated then. She was angry at everyone. She’s been upset about the whole situation with Sharon. Yes, but she agreed to put that behind her. And I believe her, that she was at least going to try. I thought so too. She said she was excited to be working together, ready to chart this new path forward, but then this happens. No, but Daniel, she has been determined to be there for us. Especially for you and Lucy. I really don’t think that Mom would have disappeared on us. Not now. Right. So where does that leave us? Right back here with no answers. So, this is her Valentine’s Day outfit. Aria was so, so cute. She even had a matching headband. I mean, it’s on point and adorable. Mm-hmm. And then this is her second outfit because she decided to roll around in a bunch of leaves and a surprising amount of dirt. Kid knows how to play. Respect. Oh, and she had this adorable tiara that she would only share with Grandma Sharon. And here she is. She’s trying to put it on her.

See?

Oh, there we go. Quite the pair. Speaking of which, your mom is officially late. Uh, why don’t you try calling her again? See if she’s on her way. [Nick sighing] Voicemail. Hey, uh, it’s me. I’m at Crimson Lights. We’re supposed to meet here. If you want to meet somewhere else, just let me know. Call me. Bye. Um, so you haven’t heard from her at all today? No. Actually, I didn’t hear from her yesterday either. Me neither. Well, why don’t I call the office? I’ll see if she’s there. Yeah. Hey, hey, it’s Mariah. Is Sharon there? Uh, okay, yeah. I’ll definitely keep you posted. Thanks. It’s okay. What is it? They haven’t heard from Sharon either, and apparently she hasn’t been answering any texts or emails, which is not like her. Sorry to interrupt. Did you just say something’s going on with Sharon? Uh, yeah, we haven’t heard from her.

You haven’t seen her?

No. Something wrong? I don’t know what to make of this just yet, but… apparently, Phyllis is missing. So despite the sports movies you have to put up with, and the mysterious allergies they cause, how are you adjusting to living on the ranch? I like it here. I feel comfortable. At ease. So, it feels like home? It does. I think at first I thought that everything would remind me of your father. Maybe not the best feeling. And I was worried that I’d feel uncomfortable living on Newman property. But you don’t? Not anymore. No. It’s very peaceful here. And I see your family a lot less often than I thought I would. And when I do see them, they’re lovely and very pleasant. Well, as they should be. This house, I think I was concerned that it wouldn’t feel like mine. That I would feel like I’m living at Victor and Nikki’s house, but… you know, things changed, and we got settled, and now it really feels like it’s… ours. Our own little world. I think that’s how Connor sees it, anyway. Yeah, I think he does. Hey, are you okay? Why wouldn’t I be? You just seemed a little off the past couple days. Like something was on your mind or bothering you. God, I cannot get anything past you, can I? If I tell you something, will you promise not to hold it against me? Wait. So, Phyllis has been gone. For how long? A day or so. And nobody’s heard from her? You know, Summer called me. She was worried about her mom. I just assumed it was Phyllis being Phyllis and that she had shown up by now. Well, seems she hasn’t. I had no idea the police were involved. Doing this is more of a favor for your daughter. Summer and Daniel are obviously worried, given everything that’s been going on. Yeah, I mean, I get what it’s like to worry after a missing mom. I mean, I would like to think after everything Sharon’s been through, that she’s just taking a personal day, right? She wouldn’t do that without checking in. Yeah, that’s true. I’m gonna call ranch security, just have them go by her place, just to be safe. NATE: Did you get the sense that Damian wanted to stay in town just because of Lily? Not for Amy? I’m not sure. But Holden made it sound like this woman, whoever she is, has made quite an impression. Yeah, that sounds like Lily. But we don’t know for sure that it’s her. I sensed a bit of a vibe between them. If it is her, I wonder if she’s also made appeals on Amy’s behalf. That wouldn’t surprise me. Lily understands the importance of family. I guess if they have some sort of connection that keeps Damian in town, that is all that matters. The more time Damian spends with Amy, the more he’ll remember how close they used to be. Whatever it takes. If him sticking around is thanks in part to Lily, I’m grateful for her. I can certainly see how someone would be taken with her. Mm-hmm. Like the way Holden was clearly taken with you. Is he? Come on, it’s pretty obvious. The guy can’t take his eyes off of you. Nate. Yeah? Uh… There’s something you should know… about Holden and me. What about you and Holden? It sounds worse than it is. Okay. Seems serious. I promise you, it isn’t. What is it, Audra? When Holden first arrived, posing as Damian, I recognized him. It wasn’t the first time we met. You’d met him here in town? I know him from when I was in Los Angeles with Tucker. But that was years ago. So, when I saw him, I was just so surprised. I… I didn’t say anything. Okay, thanks. Sharon is not at her place. There’s nobody there. Yeah, I texted Tessa and she hasn’t heard from her either. Something feels off, right? Yeah, it does. I mean, Sharon just went missing weeks ago. She could have died in that sewer. I am really trying not to panic, but I– NICK: Let’s not do that, okay? We gotta figure this out. There’s gotta be some explanation. When’s the last time either of you had contact with Sharon? Uh, I saw her the morning of Valentine’s Day before I went to work. I saw her that night. She seemed fine. Well, it couldn’t be nothing, but Phyllis has been missing for about the same amount of time. You think it’s connected? I can’t be sure, but– You know, we should talk to Daniel and Summer. Maybe they’ve heard something. What’s next? Where do we go from here? [phone ringing] It’s Chance. Hey, I’m– I’m here with Summer. Um, what– what’s going on? Hey, can the two of you come to Crimson Lights? Have you heard something about our mother? Let’s talk in person, okay? Yeah, okay, um, we– we’ll come there. Um, he wants to talk to us. It sounds like he has news, but he didn’t want to discuss it over the phone. Okay, yeah, let– let’s go. All right, they’re on their way. Great. Well, hopefully they’ll have some ideas about Sharon and Phyllis. I mean, do you think they actually could have disappeared together? Let’s just take this one step at a time. I mean, should we ask Faith if she’s heard from Mom? I would prefer not to do that. She is out of town with some friends, having fun. I don’t want to worry her until we have to. Right. And there might not be anything to worry about.

Yeah.

CHANCE: Yeah, I don’t want to send up any unnecessary alarms about a connection between the two disappearances. But it will help to compare notes. NICK: Agreed. So, we talk to Daniel and Summer. Just try and get to the bottom of this. Is it about Connor? No. It’s about us. Well, I thought we’ve been getting along pretty well. I just… I feel I need to be honest with you about how I’m feeling. Okay. When the three of us moved in here together, I thought it would be fine. You know, it’s a big house. You’d have your space. I’d have mine. Do you regret asking me to move in here? No, no. Not at all. Look, I know what I want to say. I’m just I’m afraid you’re not going to want to hear it. Adam, just tell me. What’s difficult for me is… how much I love having you here. You and Connor, all the time. I mean, it’s– it’s so damn clear to me now. Well, why would I not want to hear that? Why would that upset me? Because… having you here, it’s making it harder to fight the fact… that I’m falling back in love with you. I, um, I wasn’t expecting you to say that. Well, I just felt like I needed to tell you. And I swear I’m not trying to pressure you. Then why bring it up? Because… Because I can’t stop thinking about it. I had a dream the other night and it just, it kind of shook me. What happened? You came to me in the dream and you said, you thought that we should try again. To be together. Oh. And I know that’s not what you really want. It was just my subconscious my wishful thinking. Right. Yeah, I know that it was just a dream, but… you know, it stuck. Is me being here creating this wave of emotions for you? It’s making things harder on you? I mean I don’t think it helps. Because I’m so alluring. Pretty much. No, listen, I, um– I– I don’t want to move out or anything, I wouldn’t want to do that to Connor but it seems like this is tough on you. So maybe we create some ground rules, some new boundaries. Okay, you know, Chelsea, I don’t want you to wall yourself off of me. I mean honestly I don’t want anything to change. I want more movie nights and board games and you stealing my snacks. That was one time. Look, I told you how I felt because you sensed something. I want complete honesty between us. Okay, um, well while we’re confessing things um, my feelings, um… Being here with you has brought up memories.

What kind?

Some bad. Some good. But mostly it’s just reminded me of when we were together. And in love. I don’t understand. So you knew Holden wasn’t really Damian and didn’t tell me? I wasn’t sure what to think. When I met him in L.A. he went by Holden, but then when he showed up here as Damian I thought maybe that had been a lie, that he really was Damian. And he used a fake name when you met him? If he went by Holden in L.A., it would make sense why it was so difficult for Amy to track him down on her own. My head was swimming. I couldn’t believe I might have met your half-brother years ago. How well did you know Holden back in L.A.? We went on a few dates. It wasn’t serious. Mm. Is that all? I got into a bit of a situation thanks to Tucker and Holden helped me get out of it. What kind of situation? Tucker sent me to do a deal with some music producers and I went alone. It should have been an easy meeting, but they turned out to be less than gentlemanly. Things got a little out of hand and when things escalated, Holden happened to be there and he intervened. So, he rescued you? It wasn’t a big deal. But he protected you? He backed me up. I can hold my own, you know that. But I appreciated what he did. I’m still confused. If the incident was so harmless– It was. Then, why not tell me the truth right away as soon as you saw him? Huh? Was there something else to hide? Dad!

NICK: Hey!

Hey! Chance just told me your mom’s still missing. I’m so sorry that I didn’t check in more. No, it’s okay, but what’s going on? Have you guys heard something? Unfortunately, we haven’t. But it does turn out that Nick and Mariah have not heard from Sharon either for about the same amount of time as Phyllis. Wait a second. So, Sharon and our mother are both missing. Do you think there’s something more to this? It seems like a weird coincidence. Yeah, why would they go anywhere together? The two of them hate each other. Unless one of them didn’t go willingly. What are you implying? Your mom hates my mom with a vengeance that could topple buildings. Phyllis has repeatedly said that she wasn’t going to let Sharon get away with all of the bad things that she did to your family. SUMMER: Wait, are you seriously saying that our mom could have done something to Sharon?

Let’s not go there.

No, no. I mean, let’s not forget that Sharon’s the one who threw Heather’s body in a river. Which is reason enough for Phyllis to want payback. She’s made that very clear. How can you seriously stand there and accuse my mom? Summer, Summer, Mariah, this isn’t helping. Okay, let’s just relax. Chance, is it possible at all that either one of them may have kidnapped the other? There is no evidence of that right now. Okay, I just think it’s odd that they seem to be missing at the same time, that’s all. So what are we supposed to do? CHANCE: Well, I think we need to think this through. Civilly, I might add. Let’s compare what we know and let’s see if there’s a line of investigation I can follow. Sure, of course. Whenever it takes to bring our mom home. Both of our moms home. I know this looks bad, but our mother shouldn’t be on trial here. Despite everything Sharon has done to our family, she was determined to put in the past. Because Phyllis was so great at letting things go? She wasn’t after revenge. Okay, Mom recognized that her anger had become unhealthy. And look, we both accepted jobs working with Billy recently. She was excited about that. Has Billy heard from her at all? He’s still in Paris with Sally. He said they spoke like a day or two ago about business and everything sounded fine. Mom did not do anything to Sharon. I mean, you believe that, right, Dad? Of course I do. Nobody is suggesting that. Feels like someone is. NICK: We all want the same thing here. And that is to find out what happened to Sharon and Phyllis. Can we agree on that? We can, yes. I don’t know. Maybe there’s more to the situation. I mean, we all know how adept Sharon is at framing innocent people, right? Maybe she’s setting Mom up. We also know how hard it is for Phyllis to let go of a grudge. The first thing that we need to figure out is when did Phyllis and Sharon last see each other? Now, can we keep the peace long enough to do that? AUDRA: I don’t have anything else to hide. Which is why I’m telling you this now. But you didn’t feel like you could tell me earlier. Yeah. I should have spoken up sooner. I– I honestly don’t know why I didn’t. When I think of Holden, it reminds me of my time with Tucker and I guess I just didn’t want to go there. I can see that. I was just so stunned to see him and then realize he might be connected to you and to Amy. I– I just didn’t know what to do. And then to find out that he pretended to be your brother, it was just all too much. You were overwhelmed. I thought that if Holden would just go back to L.A., I wouldn’t have to deal with him again. But here we are. So, I felt like I needed to tell you. Does that make sense? I guess so. There are times in my life that I just rather not relive. And I am sorry I wasn’t up front with you from the beginning. I regret how I handled this. Can you forgive me? We did have a few good times together, didn’t we? More than a few. Well, anything specific that you thought about?

Lots of things.

Yeah. You helping me study for my GED. Watching The Outsiders together. Those were– those were good memories. Oh, that Christmas we spent with Connor and his cat, Oliver, nursing him back to health. Also good. I mean, mostly just little moments, too. Waking up together, you holding me. What about you? What do you think about? Proposing to you. In the rain. Marrying you at my mom’s farm. I mean, we were… We were so happy. We were. When you think about the good times, I mean… how does it make you feel? I want that happiness again. And then what, the bad memories come crashing in? They blur the vision? Sometimes, but then they go away. And then I feel safe. Not afraid. Chelsea, I don’t want to push. And I know that you said you didn’t want to, but… have you changed your mind about us? I mean about there being an us again? Would it really be that bad for us to try again? You have been so honest with me. I’m gonna try to do the same. Take your time. I have thought about it recently. Okay. My knee-jerk reaction is no. It would be bad. But then there’s a voice inside my head that says… maybe not. All right. I’ll take it. I can work with that. Adam, we would have to be so careful and take things so slow. I have a suggestion. Okay. Why don’t we start with something simple? Non-threatening. Something like dinner. Dinner? Just the two of us. Dinner. I’d like that. So would I. Please say something. Tell me how I can fix this. What’s– what’s this for? I am sorry for what happened to you in L.A. And that seeing Holden brought all that back to you. I’m okay. Really. But it’s okay if you’re upset with me about not being up front with you about Holden. I just wish you told me the truth from the beginning just only because I want you to feel you can trust me. So, you’re not mad? The past is the past. Your connection to Holden doesn’t bother me. Unless there’s something you haven’t said. I swear to you, there’s not. Now last time that I saw Sharon and Phyllis together was when Sharon mistakenly confessed to Heather’s murder. Was that before or after Sharon broke into our mom’s hotel suite? Do you have anything to contribute to this conversation? The last time I saw Sharon and my mom it was actually here. Mom had just gotten out of the hospital from her car accident and Sharon still believed that she killed Heather. I mean everyone did. Well, the last time I saw Phyllis, she came over to Sharon’s house on Christmas Eve to accuse her about lying, about not committing those crimes and Phyllis said that she was never going to let my mom get away with murder, so. Sharon I saw you with Phyllis at Society. That’s the last time I saw them together too. And it’s the last time I saw my mom before she disappeared. So did anyone see them interact right before they disappeared? No one seen them cross paths the past couple days? No. Great and we’re still no closer to getting an answer on what’s really going on here. I mean how is it possible for Sharon and Phyllis to just vanish? What the hell could have happened?

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

[mellow music plays] I’m so happy you’re home. [Finn exhales] Yeah, I know, it’s just been, uh, too many double shifts lately. [forced laugh]

Steffy:  Well, I really missed you. I missed you too. Well, I just– I just realized I finally get to hear. Hear? Whatever it is you wanted to tell me the other day but you didn’t want it to get in the way of our celebration. Some big news? Yeah. Um… there’s some-some news, and it’s, um… life-changing. Oh, please tell me there’s an update. On the AC? Unfortunately, no. And this kind of thing doesn’t usually happen, but with my house manager gone– That’s fine. I’ll take no AC in a mansion any day over where I was before. This is so much more comfortable than being in a prison. It’s where my mom and everyone else still thinks I am.

Finn: We can “what if” this to death trying to guess what Steffy’s gonna do, but the only way that I’ll know for sure is if I go home and tell her what’s going on. That Luna’s my daughter. Oh. I was told a patient was waiting for me. Didn’t expect my sister. Something wrong? What is it, Penelope? What’s going on? Oh, well, well, well. What are you doing here? Hopefully getting my old job back? [inhales] We know what you did. It was a momentary lapse in judgement. And, thankfully, I’ve been released after time served. Uh, a deepfake, Remy? AI-generated nudes? That’s…that’s some pretty sick stuff. I thought that Electra Forrester was supposed to be your friend. You really gonna let me have it too? No. Because I’m really in no place to judge. What are you saying? You’re no saint either? Let’s just say I’ve had my moments. But look, see? I am reformed. Does that mean you’ll give me another chance? I would. But Deacon… I don’t think so. You don’t think Deacon would give me another chance? [small laugh] Remy… you know who Electra’s boyfriend is, right? Will Spencer. Hope’s cousin. Hope, as in Deacon’s daughter. No, sweetheart, you’re outta luck. Sheila, I really don’t wanna go back to Texas. I-I need to find something to keep me in LA.

Oh, great.

What? Well, happy hour is over.

Huh?

That’s Will’s dad. He kills the moment. He always kills the moment. Are you sick, Penelope? Is that why you’re here? No. Not physically. What does that mean? You know what? It’s-it’s nothing. Just-just ignore–ignore me. Um, I’m just not, um, I’m just not in a good place. I think I know why. Because of Luna.

Steffy:  Life-changing? Whatever it is, it’s obviously weighing on you. Something to do with a patient? Uh, no. It’s-it’s personal. About my past. About a-a woman from my past. [edgy music plays] I have a takeout order. Today would be great. Wow. More angry than usual. Well, if you must know, the AC is out and… in this heat wave, that really irritates me. You’ve got money, so why don’t you get it fixed? As a matter of fact, I have made a ton of calls. Everyone is booked for weeks. Have you replaced the filters?

Bill: I don’t replace filters, all right? I have somebody who does that. I’m a busy man. But my house manager… isn’t available at the moment. Well, I-I’d be happy to help. What, you’re an AC guy? Well, I’m from Texas. It’s hot there. We’re all AC guys. I got you. You should hire him, Bill. I mean, he did great work here. Very handy. I’m sure you’d be in great hands with…Dario. Well, uh, normally, Shiela vouching for you would automatically get you crossed off the list. But I am desperate. Uh, I assure you I can do the job. I have to handle something. I’ll think about it. Why did you do that?

And who’s Dario?

You are. “Remy”? I’m sure that that’s on Bill’s radar as some sort of a-a freak. I’m sure Will’s told him everything. [whispering] That is Bill Spencer over there. He’s one of the wealthiest men in Los Angeles. That could be the opportunity that you’re looking for. Dario. [heavy music plays] Hope you know I’m glad you’re here. Makes me feel hopeful thinking you’d come to me when you aren’t in a good place. I want to be the one you confide in, Penelope, that you can trust me again. I know I don’t deserve it, not after being so hateful, but… feels like we’re on the right path again. Yeah. Yeah, it does. I can see how worked up you are. Struggling with everything that’s happening with Luna. It’s…it’s a lot to handle. If I had been a better sister to you, more supportive, and to Luna… your daughter might not be in prison right now. Lives wouldn’t have been lost. And Finn wouldn’t despise his cousin.

Steffy:  A woman from your past. I never brought this up before because it… it wasn’t an issue. But it is now? Yeah, look, I– I put this out of my mind long before I met you. Just pretended that, you know, it didn’t happen and i-it didn’t matter. It was just-it was just easier not to acknowledge it, and that…that worked for me. For many years. But not anymore, um, because, yeah, it’s, uh… It’s an issue that I have to deal with, um, now. We both do. Many years. So… Whatever it is, it-it was a while ago. So whoever you’re talking about, it’s not someone I know, right? No, yeah, y-you actually do. She’s, um… even been to our house. She has? Wait, this woman is still in your life? Yeah. I mean, no, obviously like not-not in that way. Okay, just to be clear, since you haven’t really mentioned it, we’re talking about someone that you obviously slept with, right? When I was young.

How old?

18. So someone from college? She wasn’t in school. She was, uh, older. And I know her? Yeah. Okay. Well, who is it? Um, it’s… Poppy. Your aunt? Yeah. [intense music plays] All right, well, get to the point. You’re trying to set me up with Bill Spencer? Bill Spencer the billionaire. Why are you helping me? I like you. I don’t know, maybe I see a little bit of myself in those eyes– the mischievous side.

I’m flattered.

Don’t be. At least, that’s what people would say, people that think that they know me. What, are you a mass murderer or something? Right. You really think it’s the filters, Darren?

Uh–

Uh, sorry. Dario. Uh, possibly? It might be the coils or–

Whatever it is, can you fix it?

Uh, definitely.

Won’t let you down.

Can you come out today? Uh, lemme see. As in right now. Uh, sure, yeah.

I–

Great. Let’s go.

Go! Go, go, go.

Okay. It’s hard to know how different things would have been. It’s not worth dwelling on it, Li. I didn’t have any right being suspicious of you having an affair under my roof. You would never do such a thing. You’re a committed, loyal sister, and I’m appalled with myself for thinking you could ever betray me in such an ugly, dirty manner. I wasted so many years holding onto resentment and anger. [exhales] Will you ever be able to forgive me?

Steffy:  Poppy? Your aunt? Oh, Finn.

My God, your aunt?

Look. It wasn’t like I, you know, like felt– She had to have known what she was doing. Well, I was 18, so I mean, I knew– 18, Finn? 18 is still really young. I thought I was a man. I mean, I acted like one, so… I’m so sorry you had to go through something like that. I really am. And you hid it for so many years. You kept it bottled up inside. I-I get she wasn’t your biological aunt, but my God… you were still adopted into their family. What she did to you is so unforgiveable. I am so sorry. I’m so sorry you ever had to go through something like that. Oh, my God. [dramatic music plays] [sighs] I guess I could go lounge by the pool for the tenth time today. Hang on a second. I have to check on something.

Make yourself scarce.

Why? Who’s here?

A guy to fix the AC.

Oh! Awesome. Go, go, go, go, go. Come on in. Oh, wow. You weren’t kidding about how warm it is.

Better get to work.

Yeah, hopefully

it’s just the filters.

Yeah, I’ll start there. But your freon might need to be recharged. It could be like a clogged evaporator or a condenser.

I’ll figure it out.

All right. That’s all very exciting. Here you go. Uh… this is like $500. I haven’t even fixed anything yet. I trust you will. And I’m also buying your discretion. Discretion? Look, just, uh, do the job, and beat it, okay? Don’t go ADD on me. Do not get distracted. Do not make yourself at home in any way. Just do the job and leave by the service gate. Okay. But what if I need to talk to you about it

or show you something–

Yeah, don’t do that, ’cause I don’t wanna talk about it and I don’t wanna see anything. I’m gonna be on business calls all afternoon. I don’t wanna get into freon issues. Gotcha. Don’t let me down…Dario. I won’t. Couldn’t help but overhear. Oh. Hi. Are you here to fix the AC? Uh, that is the plan, yeah. Thank God. It’s been unbearable around here.

Pretty warm, yeah.

And boring.

Huh?

Oh, nothing. I’m just, um… in between projects right now. Do I know you? No. I don’t think so. I have a friend, uh, who works at a fashion house in LA– Forrester Creations. I-I spent some time reading up on the place and different news stories and… the biggest one of all recently was a… intern commits double homicide? Is that you? I’m here for you. Whatever you want, okay? Whatever you need. You’re not upset? Upset? No! I feel for you. I-I hurt for you. I’m angry with Poppy for taking advantage of you.

Well, I was 18, so I knew too.

No. You don’t have to make excuses for her. Look, if you don’t wanna explain the situation, you really–you really don’t have to. I kinda have an idea how it went down. You were young. You had an innocent crush. And Poppy, she was… she was doing a lot of drugs back then, and I’m sure she took one look at you and… What she did to you, that’s just sick. It’s awful. What, her sister adopts you, and then she… [whispering] Oh, my God. [sniffling] It’s like no wonder Luna turned out the way she did. I mean…Luna is her daughter. She tried to kill me. She poisoned me. She killed two men. It’s like that sickness is in her veins.

Um…

Oh, hey.

No–

It’s-it’s-it’s okay, okay? As much as it hurts, there’s no lasting repercussions, okay? We’re gonna get through this, Finn. We will. What Poppy did to you in the past doesn’t matter. It’s not gonna change anything about us, okay? Um…

Hey, what is it?

No–

What’s-what’s-what’s going on?

[deep sigh] There’s more to the story.

I’m sure there is.

No. No. Just listen, okay? There’s something that… I have to tell you… and it’s something that you’re not gonna wanna hear. [intense music plays]

WOMAN: Here’s a look ahead.

You’ve built these gates… but I see beyond them. You will never know Finn as intimately as I do. Oh! [doorbell rings] [gasps] Cousin Finn.

Finn: Back-to-back shifts, yeah. But we should have some relief soon, so… [small laugh] You bet I’m anxious to get outta here, get home to my wife. [sighs] Send me what you got, and I’ll do the consult. Okay. Hi. Look, I know why you’re here. I haven’t changed my mind, okay? And I’m not going to. I’m telling Steffy Luna’s my daughter. Today.

[inhales]

Liam: Hey. So I’m taking Kelly to the dance recital next Thursday, right? Uh, yeah, and I’ll pick her up since you have that meeting in the evening, right? Uh, yes. Perfect. Oh, also, I, uh, I brought her sandals back to you ’cause, oh my God, who knew it’d get so hot so quickly? Which is a good thing we have this whole coparenting thing down. We are a great team.

Liam: Great team. You’re a great mom. Can’t imagine having to do this without you. Well, I’m not going anywhere. No, I know. I just–I was more… I was talking to my dad a bit ago just about how close we came to losing you because of…Luna. [moody music plays] This heat wave is ridiculous. Everything I’ve accomplished in this life, and I can’t get an AC guy out to come fix the problem. The AC isn’t working. That’s the problem. Oh, well, you’re quite the mechanical wizard, aren’t you? You bored? Want me to teach you a new game? Sure. Okay. [chuckling] Or not, if there’s something else you’d rather be doing. I mean, I’d rather be at the beach surfing or something, but I don’t think I’d get too far with this thing on.

Bill: No. No, you wouldn’t. Cops would have you under arrest like that. Then you’d have your house arrest revoked and be back behind bars. And unlike last time, there’d be nothing I could do to help you. [edgy music plays] I know the rules by heart, what I can and can’t do.

It’s just…

You’re restless. Anyone in your position would be. I’m not gonna do anything stupid–I promise. I know how good I have it here, and I’m beyond grateful. It’s just… [sighs] Sometimes I can’t help but wonder. Maybe I really do deserve to be behind bars, given what I did to Tom and Hollis and to Steffy, my cousin’s wife. I try not to think about Luna, everything she put me through… especially now that she’s behind bars, hopefully never to see the light of day again. So do you feel safe? Luna committed not one, but two murders. I was close to being the third, Liam. Yeah, if Finn hadn’t rushed in and saved the day. Again. He already saved me from his crazy birth mother Sheila. [small laugh] Geez. And when Luna tried to kill me, both times, my very brave husband kept it from happening. I know I can always count on Finn.

Poppy: Well, I was hoping you’d changed your mind. No. There’s no way I’m keeping something this huge from my wife. And yet you still haven’t told her. Okay, the reason I haven’t told her is because of the insane hours I’ve been working at the hospital. I’ve barely been able to get home. Okay, well, then, have you considered that maybe you’re keeping such a hectic schedule

for a different reason?

What are you talking about? Finn, maybe subconsciously you’re trying to convince yourself that life can go on without revealing the truth to Steffy and risking your marriage and that, deep down, not saying anything about Luna is the only way that you can safeguard what you and Steffy have together. [chuckling] He’s on the warpath, huh? No, no, no, don’t, don’t. Don’t do anything. Just-just wait for me to come into the office. Yeah. It’ll give him a chance to cool down. Okay. Uh, sorry for that brief… interruption. Problems? No, it’s just–[huffs] There’s a client that’s been working, you know, one on one with my dad for years and years now and now he’s working with me, and, uh, to say he’s not enthused about it would be the understatement of the decade. But, uh, that’s just, you know, that’s how it is now with my dad stepping away from the day-to-day. It’s like… Well, for now. For now he is. Wait, you really don’t know why Bill’s spending more time at home than at Spencer? Not really. No, I mean, it– Listen, I’m happy to step up. What else have I got going on besides work? Well, no, that’s– I mean-I mean… Kelly. I have Kelly. The kids are-are… my number one priority, but still… Hey, Liam, you’re an incredible father and I know Kelly loves you to pieces, but… you’re finding time for yourself, right?

Yeah.

All right. Yeah, no, I am. I’m like, uh, like, um… I’m, like, reading, uh… I-I work out sometimes. Uh, thinking about getting a parrot, actually. You know, someone to keep me company.

A parrot.

Yeah. Yeah, like they can– you know, I can talk to the parrot and the parrot like literally talks back.

Be like that mutually…

What? …beneficial–do you know the African grey parrot can memorize up to 1,000 words? It’s incredible. It doesn’t even look grey. Liam, you’re really starting to worry me now. I’m joking. I’m jok–it’s me. I’m joking, I’m joking. I saw it on a nature doc. If I’m gonna get an animal, it’s gonna be a dog. I am fine. Steffy, I’m fine. I’m, um… I think I’m fine. I’m…[sighs] Maybe not. I don’t know. Life just doesn’t… look the way that I, um, pictured it would at this point, you know, spending half the time with my kids, and you’re with Finn and Hope’s with Carter, and… It’s, uh, it’s my own damn fault, a-and I know that. It’s just, um, yeah, my life kinda… stinks. [somber music plays]

Bill: Well, thanks for nothing. No luck? No. AC guy can’t come out till next week. Okay. Maybe we can, I don’t know, jump in the pool or something, cool off? No. Can’t do it. That device is water-resistant, not waterproof. If you damage it, it triggers an alert. Okay. Well, I guess I’ll just keep this fan parked in front of me, think cool thoughts. Look, Luna, I know that, uh, house arrest is no picnic. It’s not supposed to be a picnic. Not even in a home like this. There are a lot of restrictions, a lot of time that you’re alone, and I’m sure you get in your own head. You think about everything that happened, the person you were back then, the person you are striving to be now. I hope that some of our conversations have provided some bit of clarity for you. They have. I mean, you’ve been such a big help to me, Bill. You’ve made me realize that I don’t have to be defined by my past, that I can be the best version of myself moving forward. I’m gonna make you and myself proud. I am proud. Thank you, Bill. Thank you for-for believing in me. Thank you for everything. Sometimes when I, um, lie awake at night, I fantasize about the life I could have, a life where I’m back out in the real world and… my mom and my Aunt Li and my Cousin Finn don’t hate me anymore.

Finn: Being honest with my wife

is how I safeguard my marriage.

[sighs] Finn. You don’t know how much I hope that is true, but– No, no, listen, there’s no buts. No buts. Dishonesty is how you and I got here now. If you had just told me all those years ago that Luna was my daughter, I wouldn’t have to– And then everything would have been okay? That you would be exactly where you are today, just with a grown-up daughter that you are responsible for. We would have shared responsibility for Luna, been the parents that she needed us to be. I didn’t want to upend your entire life! Especially since I wasn’t a hundred percent sure she was yours. Finn, you were just starting out– Look, I could have pursued medicine and been a father. A damn good one, too. But you…you robbed me of that. But more importantly, you robbed Luna. I could have been the stability that she needed, desperately. Her life could have been so different, and that-that is what I keep going back to. That’s all I can think about. That and…what happens next. Well, if you mean telling Steffy– I have no idea how she will react when she hears that the woman who abducted her and tried to take her life… is her husband’s daughter. [dramatic musical sting] Yeah, I get a little stir-crazy sometimes. The walls start to close in and I wish I could break free. But then I realize that that would ruin any chance I have of making a normal life for myself again. Of ever being accepted back into my family. I know. I know it’s a long shot, considering what I did to Tom and Hollis and… I hurt a member of my own family, the mother of my cousin’s child. I almost took her life too. Wow. Did I really just say my life stinks? Am I Mel Brooks? Is that what’s happening? Ugh.

Yeah, you-you kinda did.

Sorry. Yeah, let’s just erase, erase, erase. I didn’t–you didn’t hear those– those words didn’t come out of my mouth. I’m just– I-I’m not–I’m just… I don’t know, existentially frustrated. Frustrated you’re not in a relationship? I mean, I know there’s-there’s woman out there somewhere

perfect for me.

Of course there is.

You’re an amazing man.

Ha ha. Well… You’ve been dating, right? Yeah, that hasn’t really… panned out. Yet. Doesn’t mean it won’t. What? Yesterday was my birthday. [gasps] It was? Oh, my God, I-I’m so sorry.

I completely forgot!

No, it’s okay. No. It wasn’t just you. I mean, everybody…

Oh!

Um… That’s not true, actually. Wyatt. Wyatt, uh, Wyatt gave me a call, and it was nice. He wished me well. Hey. This is not a pity party. It’s gonna be fine. I’m just, uh… you know what it does for me? It reinforces how happy I am for you and Finn. Just so you know, I called the prison again, and I’m still getting the runaround. Nobody can say exactly where Luna is or when we’re gonna be able to speak to her.

So no details at all.

No. Not that I’m gonna give up. This is my daughter I’m talking about,

and I’m worried.

So am I! But I’m also worried about you, Finn, and what you’re about to do. Finn. You are a good man who’s determined to do the right thing. But what if doing the right thing isn’t what you think it is? What if telling Steffy about Luna causes your marriage to fracture–or worse! Can you just stop trying to change my mind? I’m not going to, okay? This isn’t gonna be easy for Steffy but it’s unavoidable, because of you. Because of a choice that you made decades ago not telling me that I’m Luna’s father. Now I have to bring pain into my wife’s life when all I wanna do is bring her joy. First it’s Sheila, and now it’s Luna. I keep bringing Steffy pain. When Steffy hears that I’m Luna’s father, she might bolt for the door, and I wouldn’t blame her. So then why take the risk? Finn, you could lose your wife, and I know that is the last thing that you want. Of course it is, but I have to have faith in Steffy. I have to have faith in my marriage, in my family. I have to believe that we’ll survive this. But what if you don’t? What if it’s not possible? Okay, look, we can “what if” this to death, trying to guess what Steffy’s gonna do, but the only way that I’ll know for sure is if I go home and tell her what’s going on. That Luna’s my daughter. She deserves that much from me. She deserves the truth. Okay, wait, wait, Finn, I can’t let you do this.

Poppy, get out of my way.

Wait, no, no–Please, Finn. Can we just please give it more time? Can we just…[murmurs] time? I’m not in this for the sympathy, you know. You… you made the right decision. You found a good partner who’s worthy of you. Am I jealous? Yes, of course I’m jealous. I should be jealous, because I had my chance. I had several of them, and I blew all of them. You deserved better than me. And you found that…in Finn. I mean… you two, you– you have a son together now. His first biological child. You gave him that gift. Yeah, there’s the Sheila thing, but… You’ll keep an eye out, right? Yeah. Fingers crossed.

Yeah.

But honestly, I don’t think we’re gonna have any surprises or shocks like that ever again. Well, I certainly hope so, for… both your sakes. You’ve– you’ve weathered the worst of it. Right now, you just deserve to relax and enjoy each other and your family. I totally agree. [phone chimes] Uh, it’s-it’s Finn. He’s actually on his way home right now. Okay. Uh…I’m gonna go, give you guys some alone time. Yeah, something we haven’t had much of lately.

[chuckles]

He’s been tied up at work. Oh! Wait.

Wait.

Wait?

Steffy:  Yes. Um… Ah! Okay. Ah!

Wh–[laughs]

Hold on, hold on. What are you–ohh. Ohh. Happy birthday, Liam. You take care of yourself, okay?

I will.

Okay. Hey. Things work out the way they do for a reason. You and Finn are meant to be together. Forever. [soft music plays] [birds calling] I’m sorry, Finn. [sniffles] I’m so sorry. [Steffy humming] [both laugh] Baby, hi!

I missed you.

Hi.

We missed you so much.

I missed you too. More than you possibly could know. How do I tell you Luna’s my daughter? [intense chords] My daughter…my daughter… my daughter…

[somber music plays]

Brooke: This feels so right, having you back in the building. I’m not back. You should be. You and Eric should be here at Forrester. This is where you belong. Just like you belong at home with me. In our home. Not with Taylor. Text from your dad? No, but the way he left, I’m really wondering

if he ended up at Forrester.

[phone chimes] It’s possible.

What is it?

Oh, it’s… It’s Finn. He’s-he’s just working another double. I was really hoping he was gonna come home tonight. We haven’t really connected since our anniversary. We’ve kind of been like ships in the night right now. Mmm. Price to pay for marrying such a dedicated doctor. Oh, you mean all that care and dependability has a downside? Gee. Well, the upside is he never lets you down. No. He doesn’t. Well, I have two patients waiting on scans. [huffs] Yeah, I know you’re backed up. I’m swamped too. Okay. Well, just let me know. Thanks. My daughter? Did you know Ridge was gonna be here today? No! Quelle surprise! This is the first time he’s back in the office since he and Steffy lost control of the company. What’s he after? You…you have to know, though, that… Ridge didn’t come over here just to patch things up with you. He didn’t hold back. That’s for sure. Okay. So nothing’s changed. Not yet, but… I don’t know–for the first time, I feel like it could. Why? He was my best friend, Hope. And after seeing him, I don’t know, I’m wondering that maybe we’ve proven our point. Maybe it’s time to mend fences. [heavy music plays] What did Ridge say to you to make you question our work? Nothing. Well, can’t you at least let yourself take some pride in today’s accomplishment, with-with what we did with the jewelry line? I’m trying. I’m trying. It was a huge moment, but instead of celebrating, I feel like a traitor, like an imposter, Hope. Listen to me! They are purposefully planting seeds of doubt because they see that your plan is working. [whispering] Carter, you know yourself. You know that you are a good man. And you have nothing to be ashamed of, you hear me? Nothing. The last thing I was expecting today was seeing Uncle Ridge back at Forrester. Well, you don’t think he is, though–back? I mean, I doubt it. He, Steffy, and my grandfather were adamant that they wouldn’t work here under Hope and Carter after what they did. It was shocking to see Ridge. But it’s even more surprising to see him here with Brooke! I don’t think Steffy and Taylor would be thrilled about that. I’m so happy for you, sweetheart. I’m so proud of the life you’ve built with your beautiful family, the way you’ve handled this whole ordeal with the company, taking care of everyone, especially your father and grandfather. Well, I am my mother’s daughter. I see your namesake in you too. Stephanie would have fought this takeover just as hard as you have. Well, Hope definitely brings it out of me. She’s gone full Logan, just like Brooke. Please, Ridge, I know we can work through this. And how do we do this when you’re here with Hope and Carter? [scoffs] I don’t care about the CEO job. I’ll give it up. I just care about you. I want you back. HOPE: [whispers] Carter. You can’t let Ridge just… make you feel even more guilty than you already feel. I’m not letting him do anything, Hope. I already feel guilty. You know that. Taking over this company wasn’t an easy decision. For either of us. No, it wasn’t. But I still believe it was the right decision. So what now, we’re just– we’re going to overlook the way Steffy and Ridge have mistreated us? You did what you had to do in order to level the playing field. And I did it by tricking them out of their own company. You did it to save the company from their arrogant leadership, and now look. Forrester is flourishing. And they can see that. And instead of coming to you and apologizing and saying that maybe you were right, they want you to feel bad about it. Don’t let them. We worked so hard for this. And to just…allow them to– to come back and have a say when it was their toxicity that led to this division to begin with– I’m sorry, but no! We need designers. We have some designers. I’m sure we can find some more. And if Ridge really wants to come back and design, you have told him that he is welcome to. But as an employee. Because I am telling you right now that I will not answer to him. I will not answer to him or to Steffy. Never again.

Finn: I’ll never let you down again. I love you. Hey… -it’s you and me, Finn. -[chuckles] We can’t lose sight of that. And we can never let anything or anyone come between us again. Look, we’re really lucky to have so much love and support. Knowing that I have Finn by my side, I feel like I can face anything. Even taking orders from Hope temporarily.

[phone rings]

Mm. It’s Daphne. Bonjour. Steffy… you’re on speaker. Uh, I’m at Forrester with Zende. We just saw your dad. Dad’s at Forrester? Oui. And he’s still here. And I hate to tell you– he was behind closed doors with Brooke. Brooke’s there? Yeah. I wish I could tell you more, but I don’t know what they’re discussing. I just thought you and Taylor would wanna know.

Steffy:  I really appreciate that. Keep in touch. Ridge is with Brooke? [edgy music plays]

Ridge: Come on. You don’t want me. More than anything. You know what I want more than anything? Try to control your daughter. [sighs] God, please don’t make this about Hope. It’s always been about Hope. I just didn’t realize that until just now. Even when Thomas fell for her, you knew that she was never gonna commit to him. So you’re bringing Thomas into this. My son Thomas? Yeah! He moved half a world away because he wanted to get away from your daughter. I haven’t seen him, I haven’t seen my grandson in I don’t know how long. And Steffy, she’s walking around here trying to find something to do. My dad is sitting on his couch at home, wondering what happened to the company he created! All because of your daughter. Because she wanted something. And she used my friend, my best friend, to get it. And that is unforgiveable. [dramatic chords] We haven’t been running things that long, but things are already better than they used to be. I mean, it’s our time now. When I was in law school, I couldn’t wait to be a litigator. I wanted to get to court, and I wanted to win. But I had a professor, and she said that winning isn’t enough. It’s how you do it that matters. Everything rests on integrity and honesty. It’s what separates the good from the bad. That’s what she said. Now, it wasn’t our intentions to betray anyone. We didn’t do this for payback or revenge. We had the most positive, genuine motives… but it came at a cost. [whispers] Yes. Okay, fine. Right. Ridge is angry. He’s upset. And we knew he would be. But why does his dignity get to matter more than ours? I mean, where’s the care when he just stands by and lets his daughter destroy my relationships and call me names like slut. I understand that this has impacted your friendship with Ridge and my mother’s relationship with him as well, but I am not going to continue to bend over backwards to appease a man who is incapable of taking accountability for his own actions. I refuse. This company is in the right hands. Your hands. And if Ridge comes back, it is going to be on our terms, not his. Look, Mom, I-I know that you’re upset right now, but of course Brooke was gonna corner Dad the moment he stepped inside the building. Any chance that she can get to work on him, she’ll take it. But you know that’s not why he went there, right? Your father’s been very open about how much their estrangement hurts him. Mom, you don’t have to worry about that. Honey, I’m not. I mean it. I’ve wasted years of my life bothered by her, letting Brooke chip away at my peace of mind. If your father wanted to be with her, he wouldn’t be living here with me. Yeah, you’re right. I’m just sorry she’s not letting Ridge move on with his life. I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if right now she’s begging him to come back to her. Hope’s not using Carter. They’re in love. They’re in love. Does she love him the way she loved Thomas or the way she loved Finn? She’s made some mistakes. But you’re saying she’s not accountable for any of them. She just wanted to be respected

and supported.

Oh, I see. And Carter’s the first guy that ever did that for her. Okay, but that doesn’t mean she gets to take someone’s dignity away, someone’s life’s work away. I talked to Carter about it. He gets it. He knows this is wrong. And I think behind all this, you know it’s wrong. The only person that doesn’t know it’s wrong

is your daughter.

You know what’s wrong? You and Eric aren’t here running this business. And you and I are not together, and we should be. [sighs] I mean, this is crazy. It is crazy. Okay. Well, then, let’s do something about it. Why don’t we…fix it. Why don’t we do something to lead the way? We’re not–no. I’m not lead– You need to lead the way.

It’s you.

Then you need to listen to me. I don’t need to listen. Carter doesn’t need to listen because he gets it– he’s showing some remorse. The person that needs to listen is your daughter. She needs to know that it’s wrong to steal from people, and it has to stop. Ridge isn’t happy that we’re doing well. Your so-called friend wants us to fail, and he’s livid because he knows that we aren’t going to. So don’t just willingly give your power back to people

that have treated us like dirt!

Well, that’s over. They will never treat you that way again. You cannot promise that, Carter! You can’t! It is such an insult to hear them say that they think that I’m using you and putting ideas in your head because that means that they think that you can’t think for yourself, that you can’t stand up for yourself or anyone else or question their authority! I mean… They don’t know you like that. They don’t know me like that, and they are wrong about us. They don’t know what we’re capable of, and Forrester Creations is ours now. [uneasy music plays] [exhales] You deserve the truth. I have to believe that somehow we’ll get through this. Tomorrow. Tomorrow I’ll tell you that… Luna’s my daughter.

Steffy:  I’m really proud of the way you’re handling this. Yeah, well, I’m just, uh, seeing things differently now. My relationship with your father, what we mean to each other. Even Brooke.

Brooke?

Yeah. I mean, for years, she was a dark cloud hanging over my life, a constant reminder of the things I wanted to forget. But she’s just a person. I can even admit that she has some good qualities. Wow. Okay. Well, a lot of faults as well. [chuckling] Ridge has seen them all. Ah, I used to wonder about that. If he could see them. If he was blind to them. But your father has grown so much, and so have I. Not only do I trust him, but I trust myself and what I see in his eyes. His love and commitment for me are real. Oh, Mom, I’m so happy for you and Dad. I really am. [soft music plays] You know I don’t like saying any of these things to you. Because deep down you know it’s not true. Oh, it’s true. Of course it’s true. Your daughter’s the source for this whole problem. Logan, we made Hope. She’s a big star all over the world because of Forrester, but she wanted more. She always wants more. And she wanted revenge. And with you– with you supporting her, she’s gonna terrorize everybody in this building. Ridge, Hope wasn’t terrorizing anybody! She worked hard for her position. And she was under constant threat by Steffy, over and over again! Steffy canceled her line. She fired her.

That’s no excuse.

Okay. Whatever. This is ridiculous! We can’t keep arguing over our children’s issues. I know you’re frustrated. I’m frustrated too. But you know how you handled it? You… you turned to another woman. I didn’t do that. I didn’t turn to anybody. Because the man that I’m meant to be with… is standing right here. Right here in front of me. [emotional music plays]

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

[soft music plays] I missed you. Well, let’s help you with that hand, right? Stop the bleeding before it gets worse. Here. You know I had to do this, right? No, I don’t know that. Then know I didn’t want it to affect our friendship. Ridge. What are you doing here? I’m extending congratulations. Right. Is everything good? Silk? Hey! Oh, I’m glad you’re here. I wanted to go over a few things–are you busy? Oh, yeah. Hmm. I’m trying to be. Not really getting much done. Well, can I help? I mean, not that you need it. Honey, what’s wrong? I just feel like a fish out of water. Oh, come on! You’ve got this. You were in this position years ago. I know–it’s just different. It’s really different. Well, I understand it’s a balancing act. I mean, you’re trying to be CEO and at the same time you’re trying to get the company back into the hands of Eric, Ridge, and Steffy. I mean, that’s not an easy feat. And not letting on to anyone in the process. Don’t get me wrong. I’m really happy for Forrester after today’s launch and Ivy and Electra. But… But it’s really weighing on you… taking the CEO position. Isn’t it, sis? Brooke’s energy today is way off. I wouldn’t read too much into her vibe, Zende. Brooke only cares about herself and anyone with the last name Logan. Okay, just to play devil’s advocate, let’s just say Brooke is discovering her conscience. And it would be a good thing, no? Yeah, good. But highly unlikely. But what if she is? Then she should convince Hope that the takeover was wrong. Don’t hold your breath. And what would be the point anyway? Hope has her claws so deep in this takeover, she’s never, ever gonna let go. Hope has everything she’s ever wanted– clout, money, control, a powerful man under her spell. She’s not gonna give up without a fight, and Brooke is not gonna turn her back on her daughter. No. But maybe she can appeal to Hope’s sense of

virtue and decency.

Mom. This is Hope we’re talking about–she’s a traitor. She used Carter to seize control of Forrester and put it in the hands of the Logans. Like, I love your optimism, I really do, but I know Brooke is jumping for joy right now, just like Hope. ZENDE: You’d be surprised. I think Brooke is more bothered than any of us realize. I can’t imagine the stress you’re feeling, having to keep your true intentions from Hope and Carter. It’s your first big launch as CEO. I mean, that had to feel good on some level, right? Yeah. I am proud of all the hard work that you and everybody have put into the launch, especially Ivy and Electra. I mean, their designs were beautiful. Oh. It was so cute to see Will. He was so excited for Electra. I mean, her success, the start of her career. I just wish that she had enjoyed it more. She was pretty subdued. Well, to be honest, everyone was. Except for Hope. I mean, she was ready to celebrate. It’s just…the way that Ridge’s position was taken from him. He deserves to be here. He should be leading the company. And Ridge and I should be together. [somber music plays] What happened here? It’s-it’s nothing, just, um, broken glass.

Why are you here?

Why am I here? In my old office? To look at my stuff. Couch, my rug, my desk– all that stuff belonged to me, my dad, my daughter… before you got into my best friend’s head and had him steal the company for you. [edgy music plays] Hope needs allies, people supporting her new regime. Well, she has Carter and Brooke. Carter, yes. Brooke, though… You really think Brooke is feeling the weight

of this takeover.

I have no doubt. Ha. Yeah. Because Dad dumped her. [laughs] I think it’s a little bit more than that, Steffy. Well, how could she not feel guilty if she cares about Eric and Ridge as much as she claims? Well, Dad’s supposed to be her destiny, her one and only. Instead, she sides against him and goes along with her daughter’s seditious coup. And is awarded with a promotion to CEO. If people only knew how crazy things were behind the scenes… morale could not be lower. Well, we’ll rev it back up once we get control back. And I’ll do anything I can to help. I just hate seeing your family going through this. Yeah, me too. All’s not lost. Silver lining in all of this– you and Dad are back together. Brooke finally showed her true colors, and she’s no longer in Dad’s life. I know you hate that Ridge isn’t here. I mean, I-I feel the same way. It’s just not the same without him. We’ve launched countless lines through the years, and he’s been here for every single one of them except this one. Well, it took a team to make this all happen. Ridge was a part of that. Yes, until he was forced out by Hope and Carter. [sighs] I mean, you are right. I-it is different. I mean, normally, it would be a big celebration. There would be champagne flowing and speeches. But the room was almost silent. I mean, even Carter seemed very reserved. I’m sure he was relieved that it did so well. Yeah, I mean, Hope was definitely ready to party, but no one else was. Aside from maybe my son. I mean, he was pretty pumped, but what else is new? He was happy for his girlfriend.

Mm-hmm.

And she and Ivy

should be thrilled.

Well, they are Forresters, so I’m sure they feel caught in the middle. I mean, that’s understandable. But my gut tells me that this takeover is troubling Carter as much as it is you. I mean, I know you’re worried about Ridge, but… what’s going on with Carter? CARTER: Hope didn’t get in my head. I’m not brainwashed. Carter can think for himself. Why did you come here, Ridge, to pick a fight? Because you should know that Carter still has love for you. He’s got a strange way of showing it. So do you. This has been incredibly difficult for him. And whether your ego will allow you to admit it or not, I know this has been hard for you as well. In spite of what you may believe, we actually never wanted you to leave.

Okay.

CARTER: It’s true. I didn’t want to do any of this without you. Yes. So you and Eric are welcome to return at any time, just like Steffy did. Only you should know that the, uh, power structure will remain intact. Oh. So I would answer to you. [tense music plays] I know Carter as well as anybody– at least I thought I did.

He is hard to read these days.

Yeah, he is. I mean, I just never thought that he would be into this power grab. And the jewelry drop–I mean, that’s a turning point for the company. I would think that he would be more fired up. It’s a huge moment in his career. Yeah. I think it was. But [sighs] this dream of expanding Forrester and the changing of the guard, if that’s what you wanna call it– I mean, Carter’s the one who put this all in motion. With Hope’s help. Whoa! Okay. That’s-that’s new, you saying that. [huffs] Well, she did play a part in it. Well, you’ve been so adamant about her not having any influence over Carter. I mean, are-are you now agreeing with Ridge and Steffy that Hope manipulated him into snagging power for the Logans? She’s not vindictive or calculating. No. Of course not. She thought she was doing what was best–she really did. But you still wish that none of this had taken place. It’s just caused a lot of strain and division. And I understand where Hope and Carter were coming from–I do. It’s just… Ridge didn’t deserve this. He didn’t deserve to have his company taken away from him. Zende promised he and Daphne would check in if anything crazy’s happening at the office.

Like some wild partying?

You heard Zende. The only one who’s celebrating is Hope. That’s just…sad. Clearly, your father’s passion and leadership is sorely missed. I wonder where Dad went. Have you spoken to him? I haven’t. Not since he left. Where could he have gone? Do you think he went to Forrester? Forrester Creations. Our name is all over this building. No one is saying otherwise. So you gotta understand that this is all gonna blow up in your face eventually, right? You say you love this man. Does he…look loved to you? He looks like the guilt is just eating him up from the inside. Because he betrayed his family. Wow. You’re one to talk. Betrayal? Really? When you’ve used and abused my mother for years. It’s like clockwork with you. The minute your ego is bruised, you run straight to Taylor. When someone does something you disagree with,

you throw your little tantrum.

Ridge: Disagree with? Like stealing my company from me? Yeah. I don’t agree with that. And I don’t agree with your mother’s part in this. You know, you should be thanking us, because Forrester Creations became a toxic workplace thanks to you and your daughter.

Oh, we did that?

Yes, you. The man who called me a bitch. The man whose daughter throws around the word slut when we all know her past. So, yes, my mother and I are through with being your scapegoat. You got it all fixed? It’s all working, yeah?

It’s all fine?

Well I’d say the jewelry launch

went exceptionally well.

The jewelry launch had nothing to do with you. You’re running my family’s business. HOPE: Oh, right, there it is. Your family’s business. You love to lord that over us, don’t you? Have you forgotten that we were once a part of that family? I once called you…father. You were married to my mother. How do you think that makes her feel, to have you constantly ignore her contributions when she helped you build this company alongside Stephanie and Eric? Her contributions were never ignored. Does she know that? Do you think she feels valued by you? Or has she just been run down, her self-esteem stolen because you’re too insecure of a man to stand by a powerful woman? You know, I have to thank you, really, for running to Taylor so quickly because it’s going to show my mom who you truly are. So, yes, Forrester Creations has entered a new era, one of fairness and equality, and it is being run by this very capable, talented, kind man. Carter Walton and his first launch was a smashing success, and I know that the fragrance line will be the same. This is the future of Forrester Creations, Ridge. And nothing and no one– not even you– is going to stop it. You don’t wear the crown at all, do you? Ill-gotten gains. [heavy music plays] [mellow instrumentals] You know, your father said that he wanted to clear his head and have some time alone. I’m not sure he’d feel so inclined to go rushing over to Forrester. He hasn’t set foot in the building since the pity-party rebellion. [sighs] He wants to be there so badly, Steffy. He misses the energy, his office. As it stands right now, he would hate going back. It is the Hope and Carter show, and they make sure no one forgets it, Mom. Like, I literally feel ill every time I drive on the property. Mm. Be over soon, sweetheart. Oh, I know. Even if I die trying. I’m not gonna let this continue. Whether the lawyers figure out some kind of technicality, Daphne works her magic, or Carter finally realizes he’s being duped by Hope, I’m not gonna let this continue–I can’t. I have to believe that ultimately Carter will listen to his inner voice. Mom, I am praying you’re right. Well, not just for the company’s sake. Ridge has really felt the loss of that friendship. [sighs] You know he hasn’t seen him since he walked out. Maybe it’s time. Maybe your father can get through to Carter. [softly] Hey. You okay? [exhales] [whispering] We can’t let them ruin what we have. [somber music plays] Ridge.

What are you doing here?

I can’t walk around my own company? What, you gonna have me arrested? What? Just come talk to me. Was that Ridge with Brooke? It’s nice to see you, Ridge. Forrester isn’t the same without you and Eric around here. Well, we’d still be here if it weren’t for your daughter. I understand your frustration. I don’t think you do. Yeah, I do. I mean, this has been hard on me too. The only reason I took the CEO position was to get through to Carter. And I believe that’s what’s happening. Nobody knows that. I’m just trying to keep up the façade around here. But, of course, if you wanna step in and take the position, I would gladly step down. Would you? Yes, I would. [laughs] You think I’m power hungry, I want to cling on to the job? No. No. I just wanna maintain some normalcy around here. Nothing normal about any of this. Well, that’s right. That’s true. There is nothing normal about this. [sighs] Forrester may have changed, but I haven’t. I’m still the same person that you fell in love with, that you supported and that you believed in all these years. I’m still your Logan. I’m just asking you to come home. Just come back to me.

Recap written by Michele & Cheryl

Dani and Andre were together in bed. She agreed with Andre that their night felt like a dream. Their night had to stay a dream. She didn’t regret being with him, but she’s not ready to get involved with anyone right now. Andre was fine with keeping things casual between them. He reminded her that she had options if she got lonely. Andre thought she should let her neighbors see him leaving her house. It would prove to everyone that she was over Bill. Dani had a problem with that plan. She wasn’t over Bill. Later, Dani went to see Bill to beg him not to go through with the wedding. She wanted him to come home to her. Dani thought they could be a stronger couple than they were before. It couldn’t happen if he went through with that farce of a wedding. Bill seemed to contemplate her offer. He let her know that she was his everything. They talked about what it was like when they first met each other. Bill remembered how beautiful she was when they met. The memory makes what happened harder. It was hard to watch how desperate she’s become. He wondered what happened to the woman he fell in love with. Dani was hurt by his comments. He was the reason she’s acting that way. Bill advised her to be the bigger person and forgive Hayley. Dani didn’t want to hear what he had to say anymore. Andre went to Garland Memorial Hospital and asked Kat for information about Ashley. Ted and Nicole talked about Andre falling for Ashley. Nicole didn’t think he would feel that way about her for long. Andre always falls in and out of love with women. 

 
Dani went home and grabbed a box out of her bedroom. Andre completed a photo shoot which made Ted and Nicole reminisce about when they met. Ted told Nicole that no other woman touched his heart since he met her. Later, Andre caught up with Ashley. He wanted to walk her to her car. They got trapped in the elevator with a pregnant patient who went into labor. Everyone arrived at Bill and Hayley’s wedding. The guests were dressed in black. Bill wasn’t happy about the guests dressing for a funeral. Vernon warned him that he was burying his influence on his family. It’s the last favor Bill’s going to get from them. After talking to Vernon, Bill tried to apologize to Dani for the way he talked to her earlier, but she wasn’t ready to forgive him. She hoped that her presence at the wedding was a bad omen for his marriage. Dani threw a drink in his face. Nicole wondered if Dani was still in love with Bill or just didn’t want to be alone. Dani was upset and almost forgot about that for a minute. She wanted to get her revenge on Bill. Dani refused to stop going after him until he suffered completely. Eva arrived home with news for Leslie. It turns out Leslie is Eva’s surrogate mother. Eva’s mother died when she was younger. Leslie was the only mother she’s ever known. Eva got the job working for Nicole. Nicole didn’t know they existed. Leslie waited for that day to come. She thought that Eva would get to live in her father’s house. According to Leslie, Ted is Eva’s biological father. Bill and Hayley’s wedding began. The crowd wasn’t happy to see them getting married. Once the minister asked if anyone objected to Bill and Hayley getting married, Dani made her move. Dani announced that she objected to them getting married. She pulled out a gun and pointed it at Bill and Hayley. The guests screamed while Dani fired the gun.

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

[somber music plays] It’s lonely at the top, isn’t it? Brother.

[Hope huffs]

What is it? Carter… I-I mean, we should be celebrating right now, right? Like, the jewelry launch was a success just like we knew it would be, and– Okay. Well, then why aren’t you with him? Well, the jewelry launch is a hit. Orders continue to come in. But it came at a big cost. Forrester is my family legacy. And I will get it back. I know today was challenging, but I still believe Carter will come back to himself and do the right thing. Well, it’s gonna be harder now that his plan for expansion has been a success. Carter is riding high right now. [door closes] I wouldn’t be too sure about that. Zende, we watched the drop online–it was a hit. Yeah, well, I was there in the room, and what was really surprising was the mood.

What do you mean?

The only person who seemed genuinely excited was Hope.

Brooke: Honey. I can’t help you if you don’t tell me what’s wrong. I’m just tired. I’m tired of losing, and even when we win, it feels like a loss. I mean, you felt the energy in that room during the launch today. Yes. So, what did you expect? I–you tell me! Everyone in that room has-has felt bullied or beaten down at some point. I mean, Steffy wouldn’t even hear Electra and Ivy’s pitch when Carter brought them in. She canceled my line without a care in the world for how that might affect Zende. And how many times are we supposed to be called bitches and sluts? I just… I know. Ridge and Steffy have made some terrible mistakes. But that doesn’t mean you have to steal their company away. Mom, I truly believe this is what is best for everyone in the long run. And Carter? You both won today, so why aren’t you celebrating with him? What happened? Well, instead of… Carter feeling proud about all that he’s accomplished, he’s currently beating himself up because he feels guilty. Blood on your hands. Well, that tracks. You stole this company from your family. You betrayed your best friend. And you killed a friendship. If the Logans are good at anything, it’s getting men to give them what they want. It worked for my dad, Thomas, Granddad. My uncle. I mean, the list goes on. Look… I actually like Hope. I enjoy working with her, and I’m excited about the new line, but I’m telling you, something was so off about her today. I mean, it’s like she couldn’t read the room. Everyone was obviously conflicted, sad even, but she kept trying to amp us all up– she called for champagne. Of course she did. And Brooke? She was just as torn as the rest of us, struggling with all the changes here at Forrester. HOPE: Carter should feel proud. This proves that his vision for the company was the right one. And I’m sure he thought, when he created these ideas, he would be celebrating with Ridge, Eric, and Steffy too. Well, they could be, only they don’t want to. So now Carter’s in there beating himself up over people who have taken him for granted. He feels guilty, honey. Forrester is their company. Right or wrong, it belongs to them. Why are you always taking their side? How many times did Stephanie disrespect you over the years? A-a-and now, for her granddaughter to do the same to both of us? How many times has Ridge taken advantage of you, broken your heart? I mean, hell, he is with Taylor right now, and you’re still defending him. We are not talking about me. We are talking about Carter. And he is hurting right now. He knows what he did is wrong. He destroyed his relationship with his best friend! So today is a big day for me, Ridge. It’s a big day for the company, so… if you’re done, I’d like to celebrate. If I’m done? We’ve gone through this. I’m a back-stabbing traitor who stole your company and killed our friendship– we don’t have to do this again. Maybe we do, because I’m confused. ‘Cause you know what, I look at you… and I see the man that stayed up with me night after night when my dad was dying. I see the man who crashed on my couch when he didn’t wanna go home to an empty house after Maya left you. And I see my brother. Man, I still see him. I don’t want to, but I do. So I’m trying to wrap my head around it– how you could do this, how you could take this company. It’s not just a company. This is my life, and you stole it from me. I’m protecting it. You’re protect– oh, you’re protecting it. Because you’re the honorable leader who-who only fights for the underdog, the downtrodden. Is that what you tell yourself? Is that what… helps you sleep at night? And when you sleep, Carter, what do you dream about? You dream how you threw your life away for this beautiful woman that always knew you but only started talking to you when she needed something. [small laugh] I’ll tell you what I dreamed about. I dreamed about taking the company from a couple of bullies who signed a contract without reading it. How I took power from a man who wouldn’t tell his daughter to stop calling our employees bitches. That’s what I dreamed about, and I sleep well at night, Ridge. Okay. I hear what you’re saying. But I’m seeing something else. I see a man who’s scared of what he’s become. And he’s afraid all this… is gonna eat him alive. [heavy instrumentals] Zende, don’t for a second believe that Brooke cares about anything but herself. I know you have your issues with her, but she loves Uncle Ridge and she loves Granddad. I’m telling you, this takeover is weighing on her. Then she should prove it. If Brooke’s really having a crisis of conscience, she should talk to Hope, get her to stop this ridiculous takeover. I will never understand this hold that Ridge has over you and Carter. I just–I won’t. I don’t get it. He doesn’t have a hold over us. All right, you said you didn’t wanna talk about you–fine. But Carter…I’m sorry. Ridge has taken him for granted. That is a one-sided friendship. I think that relationship goes deeper than you think. Have you ever noticed how he doesn’t talk about his family? How he spends all of his holidays with us? And…what does that have to do

with this?

Honey, the Forresters have been like family to him. They filled a hole in his heart, and Ridge has always been like a brother to him. And now he’s ruined that entire relationship. I’m sorry, but if they truly thought that he was one of their own, then they would have respected his voice. They would have given him more of a seat at the table, and Carter would have never even felt like he had to take over in the first place. I know he’s struggling. He’s feeling very guilty, and it’s eating him up inside. And I hate that he even feels that way. He should be celebrating his accomplishments and instead, he’s thinking about throwing it all away. Whatever Carter’s thinking or feeling, I think you should support him. Oh, I’ll support him. I will support him by protecting him. Even if that means I have to protect him from himself, but– Because Carter has a big heart. And I refuse to allow Ridge or anyone else to take advantage of it. I hated betraying you. But it had to be done. So you’re gonna keep doing this– standing on the moral high ground. Oh, you know what? Maybe that’s the problem. Your head is all the way up in the clouds. You can’t see what Hope is doing to you. Oh, God, ha ha, there it is!

Right on cue.

We had a meeting in this room, all of us, and we decided to cut Hope for the Future. You agreed with that. What happened? I stepped down as CEO and Steffy asked you to run the company with her. Perfect time to bring in your new ideas. Perfect time to get rid of this toxic work environment, but you didn’t do it. Why do it now?

What changed?

I’ll tell you what changed. I walked into an office and heard your daughter threatening Hope, telling her to stay away from Finn or she’ll cut Hope for the Future. Is that what we do here? We use our power to lord over employees we don’t like? Is that good leadership to you? No, it’s not. You’re right. [sighs] Steffy made it personal. Maybe because she didn’t want your little girlfriend sniffing around her husband. What did you do? You put your name on paperwork? You stole this company? Is that good leadership? At least I didn’t have Charlie escort your daughter out of the building. No, because you’re too good for that. Oh, you’re damn right I am. So good, in fact, I let Steffy come back in. You see, Ridge, it’s not about ego or power for me. I want this company to reach its potential. It’s not gonna. What, not without you? Then come back. You would let me come back and answer to you and Hope? Not in this lifetime, brother. It kills you to see that I was right, doesn’t it? That this jewelry line drop– The jewelry line had nothing to do with you! Okay. Okay. But you know what, fine, let’s pretend it did. Let’s pretend this was a win. Where’s the party? Where’re the balloons, Carter? Where’s the champagne? I texted Electra earlier. She didn’t seem that happy. Brooke–big day for her. Should be. Wasn’t. It’s an adjustment. They’ll come around. They won’t. Doesn’t change anything, Ridge. Today was a win for the new Forrester Creations. All right, let’s not fight about that–it was a win. Great. And you know what? The fragrance line. That’s gonna be another hit. Carter, you are good at this. You have great instincts. You just don’t have morals. Your make up as a man, as a… as a friend…is awful. Hope can tell you you’re the hero, but you know who you are. You sold your soul to gain the world. And now all you wanna do is turn back time. Tell me I’m wrong. I refuse to back down. We cannot give in to Ridge and Steffy’s demands–we can’t.

No.

Listen to what you’re saying. You’re turning this into some kind of war. What are you saying? Mom, it has been a war, for years. Carter and I are trying to break that cycle of bullying, of toxicity when we stood up for ourselves, when we stood up for everyone who’s felt pushed aside at Forrester, and we’re succeeding. The jewelry launch is proof of that, Mom. We can’t let guilt undermine the future we’re trying to build here. Honey, what kind of future can you actually have when you can’t even look at yourself in the mirror?

Carter is hurting.

Carter is hurting because he is a good man, and people take advantage of that, and I refuse to let Ridge or anyone else take advantage of that goodness, and I will make sure of that. Drag me all you want, Ridge. Won’t give you the company back. How did Hope do this to the most honest man I know? Would you stop blaming Hope? The only thing she’s guilty of is supporting me. I supported you! I made you COO of this company, I gave you promotion after promotion. I didn’t like your idea of-of this luxury company. So let me ask you something. If I’d said yes to that, would we not be here right now? What is the first thing I said to you? What? When I first met you, what’s the first thing I said to you? [exhales] You said I need to start working out if I’m gonna wear shirts this tight. And what was your comeback? Says the guy who’s trying to bring mullets back. That is classic! That’s it–we clicked at that moment. Carter, I don’t like people. I don’t get on with ’em. I just don’t. But you, I met you, and I trusted you right away. Why can’t you trust me when I tell you that Hope is taking you for a ride? Ridge… This is what you do. You’ve always done it. You fall in love so hard, and you don’t see the red flags. Not with Zoe, not with Quinn. Not with Maya. What Hope and I have is real. I love her. And maybe she loves you. Who knows? Maybe she’s not using you. Here’s what I know. She got what she wanted like that. She wanted respect. She wanted to beat Steffy! That’s all she ever wanted, for years. And now you’re caught up in the middle of it because you champion her! Relationships are hard. They’re beautiful, but they’re hard. But they’re supposed to make you a better person and a stronger person, not richer and more powerful. Is that what Hope did to you? Are you…are you a better person now than when I first met you? Losing the company… Man, what a day. That was awful. But losing you… I thought the two of us would be sitting on a park bench when we’re 90, laughing about… tight shirts and stupid haircuts. Losing you, my best friend in the world… That broke me. Now I’m done. Wait. When I thought– When I thought of the moment… of my ideas taking this company to the next level, of making an impact here… I never thought I’d be doing it without you. Without my brother. I miss our friendship, Ridge. I miss my brother. [emotional music plays]
