Huh. I was definitely not expecting that. Neither was I. Are you sorry? I’m not sure. Hey, my boy. Sorry to interrupt. Um… Something’s come up. What’s going on? Sharon’s missing again. What? How is that possible? And it’s not just Sharon this time. Phyllis is missing, too. Oh, my God. What has Phyllis done now? [banging on door] [Phyllis sighing] We have to stay alive. That’s the goal. Apparently. It’s stupid. You know, it wouldn’t be terrible if you could offer something a little more constructive. All right, fine. Hey! Hello? Hello? So you tell us that we have to play a game to stay alive and then you go silent. What the hell? What’s happening? What do we have to do? Tell us. How do we win? How do we get out of here, freak? Maybe you should go a little easier on the insults. Why? Because I’m going to hurt its feelings? I don’t care. I don’t want to be friends. I just have to figure out how to get out of here. We need answers! This is ridiculous. Do you have a better idea? Yeah. To hell with whoever’s behind this. We need to figure out a way out of here together. That’s how we win the damn game. I hope you don’t think I was pushing. That was my fault. I kissed you. I mean, I’m not complaining. I… I keep talking about needing space, and wanting to take things slow, and then what do I do? I kiss you and get carried away. Hey, again, no complaints. Well, um… I’m not a fan of mixed messages, so I’m sorry. Okay, well, how about we settle on agreeing this was a lovely evening? [Chelsea sighing] That is a fact. You put so much effort into everything, and dinner was delicious. Yeah, and I think that we can agree that this was nothing more than a simple dinner, as promised, and we’re navigating it perfectly, kiss included. Agreed. Um, it’s just that kiss. I don’t want to give you the wrong idea. I still can’t move quickly. I’m still trying to come to terms with everything, moving in here, what’s going on with us, this, you know, feeling the pull, but not wanting to repeat the mistakes of the past. Look, and that’s why we go at your pace. Okay? I don’t ever want to rush you. I’m never going to push you to make a decision that you’re not comfortable with. This? It’s what we want it to be and we’ve got plenty of time to get there. You made me feel really special tonight. Well, that was the plan. I’m not just talking about dinner, or the wine and the food, how beautiful everything was. It’s how thoughtful you were. Deciding to have dinner here instead of going out where there would be all these eyes on us. I hadn’t even considered that. That would have made me so nervous, but… you thought of every detail down to what would make me most comfortable. Well, I know you. We know each other pretty well and keep learning things about each other, which I think is good. That gives me hope. Hope is good? [Chelsea chuckling] It’s not just about hope. It also makes me excited for the future. At your pace, when we get there. Careful. You’re going to make me want to kiss you again. Well, I wouldn’t turn you down. But the whole going slow thing, I want to honor that. To us. From surviving our worst selves to finding our best selves. Hopefully together. I think we’re off to a great start. So do I. You know what I said about being brave? None of this would have happened if you didn’t take a chance.

On your cooking?

[Adam laughing] On me. On knowing me. What I’ve done in my past. What I’m capable of. And you still accepted my invitation. You are capable of so much, Adam. Compassion. Honesty. Well, maybe that’s what’s different this time. Is we’re being honest about our feelings. Where things stand. We’re listening. Compromising.

It’s like we’re grown-ups.

ADAM: Mm? Mm-hmm. Sounds like a pretty good foundation to build on. If that’s what you want. I think I’m ready to try. Phyllis hasn’t done anything, Mom. Is it possible that Sharon did something to Phyllis? I mean, I– I know she seems to have been doing well, but maybe she was triggered by something and she’s gone off the deep end again. No, Sharon’s back on track. She’s on her meds. She’s doing her therapy. She’s very excited about her work at Cassidy First. Yes, but she’s missing, and so is Phyllis. You can’t believe that that’s a coincidence, son. Mom, until I have an actual fact that tells me otherwise, I just gotta wait and see. Well, how long has it been since they’ve been last heard from? Phyllis invited Daniel and Summer to breakfast, but she stood them up. They haven’t seen or talked to her in like 24 hours. And Sharon? I was supposed to meet Sharon at Crimson Lights, but she didn’t show either. Mariah called in to Cassidy First. Sharon never showed up to work. You consider involving the police? Summer’s talked to Chance. He’s looking into it, unofficially. I just hope that this is some kind of strange misunderstanding or coincidence. I mean, to think it could be something else is just too frightening. How do you propose we find a way out of here? We tried that before. It didn’t work, remember? [jazz music playing] SHARON: That song again. I know that I know it from somewhere, but where? Are you sure you don’t recognize it? I’m trying to place how I know it, and I just can’t. It has to be a part of the game. It’s a song that means something to both of us, but what? You know what? I can’t do this. I won’t. I don’t think we have a choice. I have been messed with enough, Phyllis. I have been drugged, framed, kidnapped, and I won’t let that happen again. I’m losing control of my life like that, so whatever game it is that this freak thinks he can force us to play, I’m out. PHYLLIS: Okay. Just know, whoever that is, they can see us and they can hear us at all times, okay? So what? I think we have to play along. We have to. That’s the only way out of here. Makes sense. Okay, we’re in. MODULATED VOICE: Excellent decision. Let’s play. [Chelsea sighing] You didn’t have to clean up. Oh, it’s the least I can do after you made me that incredible meal. Well, your reward. Oh. Mm. Mm. Delicious.

Wow. Shall we?

Yeah.

So, the house, your room.

Mm-hmm. Or should I say your wing? Is there anything you want changed? You know, art, wallpaper, curtains, paint? I’m good. Well, whatever you want. I’m– I’m good. I want you to feel comfortable. There is something I would like. Name it. Um… to know if you’re really over Sally. Oh. Okay. Because if there’s anything there, Adam, anything at all, even the smallest flicker… There’s not even a flicker of a flicker. Are you sure? I’m positive. But it– it doesn’t seem like you are. Billy and I were able to work through things, reach a decent place. I don’t feel like you and Sally have come to find that same peace. So, I need to know before I potentially open my heart up to you again. I can’t let it get shattered because you’re still not fully over your ex. Yeah. I’m not ready to assume anything is wrong at this point, but if there is something that we need to be concerned about, I want to be prepared, which is why I’m here. Dad, some extra help from your ranch security team wouldn’t hurt. Anytime you need them, you let me know. Thanks, Dad. I appreciate it. We’ll get to the bottom of this. I promise you. I just want to find Sharon and Phyllis so everyone can put all this fear and worry behind them. Okay, you got us. We’re playing the game. We agreed. It’s only fair that you should tell us who we’re playing against. What’s your name? MODULATED VOICE: My identity doesn’t matter. It matters to us. Please. MODULATED VOICE: It has no bearing on the game. Okay, fine, fine. Just tell us, what is the object? How do we win? MODULATED VOICE: First things first. Go to the safe. Can’t. What? There’s this birthday card. I mean, what’s the significance? It’s neither one of our birthdays. Is it your birthday? Is this your idea of a party? [feedback blaring] Turn off the mic. Great way to offend him. Well, at least we have something to go on. We’re one step closer to getting out of here. This is all we have. It’s a riddle. I don’t get it. What is this, Batman? I mean… Well, we found it on the safe. What are the odds that the answer will give us the code to open the safe? What is the riddle? “I’m 18 away from Independence Day.” And that’s it? What the hell? Independence Day? Independence from our captivity or Independence Day literally? Like, the Fourth of July? What’s 18 days away from July 4th? Which direction? Um, do you know what? I saw a calendar over here. Hold on. Maybe there’s a clue in here. Okay, here, take that. If we count backwards… from July 4th, it’s June 16th. There’s nothing here. If we go forward. Well, then we’ll get to… July 22nd. [jazz music playing] Hm. The music again. Maybe the music is somehow connected to this date. July 22nd, Sharon. What are you thinking? [safe beeping] I promise you that there is zero threat of you getting burned. Sally is the past. I’m looking forward. Hopefully with you. And there is nothing that means more to me than that possibility. So even if we never did anything more than live under the same roof and co-parent our son, even then… you still couldn’t see yourself getting back together with her? There’s no future for Sally and me. Okay, the one thing that we can absolutely agree on is that. I mean, too much has happened. You sound wistful. Not at all. I mean, there’s just… There’s regret. I understand. I understand. I get it. I felt the same way about Billy. And even though our breakup was my fault, I always– Wait, wait, wait. No. Stop right there. We were both responsible. We allowed that night to happen. For whatever reason. And what was that reason? We were raw over what was happening with Connor, and we turned to each other. Yeah, I mean, that was the official explanation, but what about the other possibility? And what’s that? Maybe us coming together that night wasn’t as innocent and random as we let ourselves believe. Boom.

SHARON: Wait!

What? What? That could be booby-trapped. That could be set to explode. Oh, like you care if I go up in smoke? Well, I never thought I’d be saying this, but you’re all I have, Phyllis. Oh, that’s so sweet, Sharon. Don’t get used to it. If we’re going to find a way out of here, it’s gonna take both of us. Yeah, we both know I’m the brains of this operation, so.

Really?

Yeah, that’s a joke. Well, this is self-explanatory. How did you, uh, how’d you do that, figure out the code? July 22nd, 2013. 7-2-2-1-3. How’d you figure out the year? Oh, Sharon, seriously? It’s the date that is seared into my brain. It’s the night that we had that fight at the MS charity event when you tried to kill me. I didn’t try to kill you. You pushed me down a flight of stairs. It put me in a coma and you left me to die. I didn’t push you. We were struggling, you lost your balance and you fell. It wasn’t intentional. All right, keep telling yourself that.

It’s the truth.

PHYLLIS: It doesn’t matter. Obviously, our gameskeeper, he wants us to remember that date for some reason. The song. The song was playing at the event while we were fighting. Whatever this is, it’s about us. Our past, our history. Oh, good God, the game is about us. [Phyllis sighing] That’s it. Whoever is behind that speaker, he knows us. He knows our relationship. Sharon, we are the game. The game is about us. But what’s the end game? Maybe this is it. We figured out the code to the safe. Oh, well, I figured out the code to the safe. And this is our reward. Phones to call for help so we can get out of here. Game over. No, it just seems, whoever that is, they went to so much trouble. I mean, this place, the music, the setup. I mean, it just– it just seems too easy. Oh, right, unbelievable.

It’s locked.

It’s locked. What kind of sick game is this? [Phyllis exhaling] Hello? What are we supposed to do with these? MODULATED VOICE: Congratulations for figuring out the first step. You will each use your phone to call a loved one. Only one, so choose well. You will tell them that you’ve gone out of town for a bit. Maybe for business or to sort through some emotional issues. He’s talking to you there. MODULATED VOICE: Whatever you think will convince them that you’re okay. Make clear you will be back soon and tell them not to worry. Because that’s the truth, right? We will be going home soon. Uh, this is great and all, but the phones are unopened. MODULATED VOICE: Once you agree to the rules, they will open. Control freak. We agree. Please, can you unlock the phone? MODULATED VOICE: If you try to alert your loved one to the truth, the phone signal will instantly scramble and there will be a price to pay. As with all the best games, when you behave and follow the rules, you advance. When you try to take control, you will be penalized. How will we be penalized? And as long as we play along, you can’t hurt us. MODULATED VOICE: Can’t I? Ugh, I’m getting so tired of this freak behind the curtain shtick. Would you shut up? Last thing we need is for you to do or say something stupid. I know you have that covered, I know. MODULATED VOICE: So, do you agree to the rules? Shall the game continue? We’re in. MODULATED VOICE: Excellent. Simply input the code to the safe into your phones. Backwards this time. PHYLLIS: Okay. 3-1-2-2-7. Ah! Okay, it opened. MODULATED VOICE: Shall we get to it? All right. Um, the person I’m going to call? I’ll call Summer. I– I don’t want to call Mariah or Faith because I’ve already put them through too much and, you know, they might– they might hear how afraid I am or how worried I am for them. Okay, but you have to act. Sharon, this is what you have to do. You have to act. You know, it’s easier for some of us to lie to our children than others. Listen, whatever you have to do to get the job done, please do it. Don’t screw this up for both of us, please. Nick, that’s my best option. Of course he is. I have wondered a lot about that night. You know, trying to figure out if it was just a desperate, drunken one-off or if it was something more. I think that Sally saw the truth before I did. I mean, she was convinced that I still had feelings for you. She was hammering me just to be honest with her. Not just her, but with myself. And you denied it? Until I couldn’t anymore. I do believe that our history was with us that night. Even though at the time we absolutely loved other people? Look, I hate that what we did hurt Sally. Billy, not so much. It was– And my impulse to lie to them, I’m hoping that it would all go away. It was the worst possible thing I could have done. I see that now. I was just, I would have handled it differently. But I do not regret everything that has happened. Got us to this place. I can almost see that place from here. But you’re not quite ready yet. I guess I just have to keep working on winning me over. Believe me, I have no intention of stopping. But just so we’re clear, there was no plan to win you over tonight. It was done to see you laugh. Smile. Relax, I mean… reconnect in a way that we had almost forgotten about. Well, you definitely achieved your goal. My only goal was to create another happy memory. If I’m lucky, hopefully the beginning of years of happy memories. This is the Adam I’d forgotten existed. The one I fell in love with all those years ago. Sharon and Phyllis will turn up. It’s probably a very simple explanation and it will be settled immediately. That’s what I’m counting on. All right, I gotta get home to Christian, so I’m gonna take off. My boy, keep us posted, all right? Yeah, of course, Dad, I will.

[phone ringing]

Is it Sharon or Phyllis? I mean, it’s a blocked number, but I’m not gonna take any chances. Hello? Nick? Sharon, thank God, where are you? Greetings from Sedona. So, you’re in Sedona. Um, yeah, I texted the girls and told them. Didn’t they tell you? No, the girls never got those texts. Well, that’s strange. What’s with this number? Like, why aren’t you calling me from your cell? Oh, maybe that’s the problem, um… You know, somewhere between home and getting here, I lost my cell phone. I know that’s silly of me, but don’t worry. I ordered a new one. I got this burner phone so I could check in until it arrives. Yeah, I’m just glad you got another one. The girls are gonna be so relieved. They’ve been very, very worried, Sharon. So have I. Well, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset all of you. No, it’s okay. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with taking a little me time. It’s gotta be beautiful there. Um, I’ve never seen anything like it. Well, enjoy it. You deserve it. You know, if you get some time, maybe send a postcard or two between your spa visits. I will. Well, Faith and Mariah are definitely gonna be glad to hear from you. Would you mind telling them that I’m in Sedona? You don’t want to call them? I’m just so exhausted. It was a long trip, a long travel, and I only have the strength now or the energy to get into bed. Is everything okay, Sharon? You sure? Yeah, I’m fine. I just needed some time alone, you know, to process everything and find my balance again. I figured the best way to do that was to go off the radar. Give the girls a kiss for me, okay? And Aria, too, when you see her. Yeah, I can do that.

Good night, Nick.

NICK: Sharon? PHYLLIS: All right, Summer, yeah, I’m so sorry. Um, hey, listen, I’ve been just so busy, and I’m sorry I bailed on breakfast. It just, I couldn’t find my phone. It’s crazy. So, you know, I got this burner phone, and the first thing I did was call you. Um, where am I? Uh, yeah, you know, I’m gonna be honest with you. This is where I am. I’m– I’m following up some really important business leads, but it’s really important you don’t tell Billy. Don’t tell Billy because I really just want to surprise him. Yeah, I’m sorry, babe. I’m sorry. I really apologize for worrying you. It’s just, everything happened so fast, and I just had to get out of town. I’m just really, really sorry that I worried you, and I love you so much, and… Tell your brother I love him. Give him a kiss for me, okay? And I’ll be home soon. All right? Yeah, I promise. I love you. I love you, okay? Bye-bye. Okay, okay. It’s probably time for me to call it a night. I understand your wisdom. Not that I’m ready for this night to be over. It was perfect. Um, thank you for a wonderful evening. Well, thank you. It was wonderful for me, too. Although I’m still not fully convinced that you made that pasta by yourself. Hey, I am a man of many talents. I’ll prove it to you. Okay, give me a challenge for our next dinner, and I will make it happen. Oh, this could be interesting. But nothing that’s as hard to make as it is to pronounce, and nothing that takes several hours, or nothing that’s smelly. Okay, you have a lot of rules. Well, I have to keep my winning streak alive. Fair. Okay, so no confit de canard or a cassoulet. But I’ll tell you what, I am not gonna settle for hot dogs, so be prepared. The difficulty level will be just right. Challenge accepted. And about that secret ingredient. Oh, that’s on a need-to-know basis. But there will be cheesecake for breakfast. Perfect way to start the day. Um, well, thank you, again. Mm-hmm. May I walk you to your door?

Absolutely not.

Ah, yes. Boundaries and all of that.

Boundaries.

Mm-hmm. I will see you in the morning. Oh, Chelsea? Sharon’s in Sedona? I mean, she just up and leaves without telling anybody? She’s been talking about taking this trip for months. And honestly, it is exactly what she needs. A little downtime so she can decompress after everything she’s been through. It’ll be good for her. Well, then why do you still seem so worried? Sharon claims that she texted Mariah and Faith. The girls never got those texts. And now Sharon wants me to fill them in on what is going on with her and where she is? She says she’s just too tired to call them. Since when is Sharon too tired to call her kids? I mean, I don’t want to be an alarmist. It’s the last thing we need right now. But does that sound off to you? [Chelsea exhaling] A burner phone. Texts that Mariah and Faith never got. And now, Sharon doesn’t want to talk to them. I’m telling you, there’s red flags all over this. Now, I know I need to just take a breath and remind myself that the nightmare’s behind us and to stop looking for problems that don’t exist, but– I think that Sharon told you the truth. I think she is exhausted, not just from the trip, but emotionally. And I think she called you because she knew it would be a quicker conversation than calling both the girls directly. Yeah, I guess that makes sense. In any event, she’s safe. VICTOR: I think your mother is right. Sharon said she’s safe. Believe her. Don’t worry unnecessarily.

Yeah.

[phone pinging] It’s from Summer. Phyllis called her. She’s fine. Nothing else? Nope. Well, I’m glad that Phyllis is accounted for as well as Sharon, but… what are the odds that they would both check in around the same time? Weird. Anyway, everybody’s safe. It is all very odd, but your mother’s right. As far as we know, everyone is safe, so don’t worry. Yeah, I’m sure everything’s gonna be fine. Nick had so many questions. Oh, so did Summer. Oh. But I answered them all. I mean, you kept it together for Nick, right? He didn’t suspect a thing. No, neither did Summer. So? So. Now, we’ve waived off any possible rescue attempt. Doesn’t feel like winning to me. Yeah, but we will. We’re getting out of here. Okay, so we did what you said. We did what you said. Next step. What do we do now? Yeah. How long you intend for this to go on? And what’s our next test? [feedback blaring] MODULATED VOICE: Rest. Sleep. Tomorrow is another day. Rest? How are we supposed to rest? Seriously. Okay. Here we go, then. Just go to sleep, I suppose. I mean. Well, we’re gonna have to figure out how to get some sleep. We have to be sharp and ready for whatever this maniac throws at us tomorrow. But, yeah, well, this maniac clearly knows us. Uh, wants us to implode or something. Who could be so cruel? Maybe it’s someone who wants us to face our… Loathing of each other? Something like that. Mm. That makes no sense to me. Unless they want one final showdown. What do you mean by that? Maybe we’re not playing against our captor at all. Maybe we’re just playing against each other.

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

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

Please.

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

Hm.

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

VICTOR: Yep.

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

Let me try it.

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

It’s good. It’s perfect.

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

Sure, go ahead. Dig in.

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

MICHAEL: Yeah, she is.

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

Oh.

I couldn’t agree more.

Hm.

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

You were not that bad.

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

Oh, no.

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

I did too.

Oh.

On you.

You did?

I did.

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

Do what?

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

What?

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

You know?

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

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

Please.

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

Hm.

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

VICTOR: Yep.

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

Let me try it.

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

It’s good. It’s perfect.

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

Sure, go ahead. Dig in.

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

MICHAEL: Yeah, she is.

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

Oh.

I couldn’t agree more.

Hm.

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

You were not that bad.

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

Oh, no.

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

I did too.

Oh.

On you.

You did?

I did.

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

Do what?

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

What?

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

You know?

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

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

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

Wake up.

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

Are you okay?

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

I’m not behind it.

Give me the key.

Oh, my God. Do–

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

Oh, my God!

Phyllis. Phyllis, stop it!

Why me?

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

and anything that you say…

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

What?

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

It’s all Havenhurst.

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

can we?

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

to try to frighten us.

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

I don’t understand the game.

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

I’m gonna hydrate with water.

No! Stop it!

There’s a lot.

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

Agreed.

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

In the sewer?

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

[music stopping]

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

[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.

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

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?
