THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

[ Exhales deeply ] Carly corinthos. I swear you get more gorgeous every time I see you. Well, it’s carly spencer now. Oh. Ohh. And you look so dapper, as usual. Thank you. Thanks for coming through for me, brick. You know I’ll always be there for you. Come on in. Okay. Well, well, well. I wonder what drew would think of this, carly? Hey, if I’m overstepping, just — just tell me. But if you’re really interested in knowing the full story about your biological parents, I think I can help. Thank you, drew. And, no, you’re not overstepping. If anything, you’re being incredibly generous. Yeah, nothing’s more important than family. I agree. Both the family that you have here and the unknown one somewhere out there. Dad, what are you doing here? I had to see you. Of course you did. Because why do things on my terms? Hey, look, I, uh… I heard you were admitted to G.H. Last night. Are you okay? I’m not the one with the busted lip. Yeah, I’m fine. I’ll tell you what happened later. But are you okay? Oh, yeah. Uh…

[ Breathes deeply ] It’s been interesting. You should leave now before you make everything worse. Nikolas: Here. Pack your things. Load up the jet and contact the airstrip. Right away, sir. And make sure the house is stocked and ready for guests. Where are we going? Someplace no one will ever find you. Hey. Hey. Shh.

[ Groaning ] Take it easy. God, you’re hot. So are you. With fever. That feels nice. Just try to rest, okay? My mom should be here soon with antibiotics. Hey. Hey. Everything okay with the guest? With the what? I’m sorry. What? The hosts said that, uh, I don’t know, you were having some problem with some customer service issue. Oh, yeah. I, um… m-managed to put out that fire, and I inadvertently walked into another one. What happened? Oh, nothing.

[ Chuckling ] There’s nothing. Just tell me. What? You said t hat brickused to flirt with carly? Yeah. All in good fun. It was nothing. Oh, okay. Why? No. Sunny, I-I have the habit of getting things wrong, okay? You need to tell me what — what — what is going on here. Okay. I saw carly go into brick’s room.


You said you saw carly going into brick’s room? Yeah? Yeah! I’m absolutely certain of it. Did they see you? No, I was out in the hallway. Did you hear anything? Yeah. I heard him say that he would always be there for carly. That she gets more gorgeous every time he sees her. I’m sure there is a simple explanation. Hey, leo. Your mom called. It’s time for dinner. Do you know how to unlock a phone? This isn’t yours? No. I found it when I was looking for leaves. Well, it’s dead. We have to hook it up to a charger. Then can I have it? No. Well, this doesn’t belong to you, buddy. We have to return it. We just gotta figure out who. So, the issue of my parents first became a thing back when michael wanted to take me to paris. I needed my birth certificate to get a passport, only harmony didn’t have one, so she got one forged. Right. And then she told carly right before she died that she wasn’t your biological mother. If only she told carly who my real mother was. Look, look, the way that I see it is if there is a real birth certificate out there, I’ll get an investigative reporter on the trail. How? Harmony lied about so many things. Is my birth name really kali? Is my birthday real or fake? Well, we just, um… we locate some of the people that used to live on the denver commune with harmony and her husband. If the only way to find my biological parents is by talking to harmony’s old commune friends, I can save you the time and trouble, because that’s going to be a dead end. All right. Open your mouth. Close. All right, so now you can’t talk — it’s my turn. The night that we met… when sonny ordered you to attack that paparazzi and I recorded the whole thing and I threatened to take it to the cops, sonny took off. He just left you there. Then he decides, with zero evidence, that you are the one going around and attacking people with a hook. He ties you up, he leaves you in a freezer, and he has some freak threaten to torture you with knives. Then he orders you to do something — god knows what — and you get shot in the process, and you can’t even call him for help. There is no way that sonny is paying you enough to go through all of that. I’d accuse you of being blindly, stupidly loyal… but, dex, I know that you’re not stupid. So, tell me.

[ Thermometer beeps ]

[ Scoffs softly ] What is it? Why have you been risking so much for sonny? You want me to stay away from your sister? Look, I hate lying to josslyn, but, yeah, she can’t know that you work for me. All I can tell you is… …I have my reasons.

[ Scoffs softly ] Your temperature is 104. If my mom is not back soon with the antibiotics, we have to take you to the hospital. Jeff: I’m sorry you feel that way, lizzie. My name is elizabeth, and I’m only stating true facts. God, you wreak havoc on everybody’s lives. You cheated on mom more than once — hayden is living proof. You’re the reason reiko betrayed finn. The reason I argued with her at the top of those stairs. If you hadn’t met her, who knows? She’d probably still be alive. And she and finn might still be married. And I wouldn’t have spent years repressing the memory of what happened to her. You’re right, elizabeth. I can’t dispute anything you just said.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] I’m wanted in the lab. Unless you want me to stay? No. It — it’s okay. My father won’t be here long. Okay. Jeff: Before you go, dr. Finn, can I just say I — I’m sorry for what happened to reiko.

[ Door closes ] Is that why you came here? To absolve your guilt? I had no idea I would run into finn. And I know what I’ve done is unforgivable. Then why show up at all? I took a chance. There’s so much that we’ve left unsaid. Really? Like what? I’m not going anywhere with you. And yet you were so eager to leave last night. How do I know you won’t throw me into the ocean from the plane, hm? That would be the simplest solution — ridding the world of you forever. But you’re carrying my child. You know, I always wanted more children. I just hoped to have them with a woman I truly cared about. Instead, it’s with you. But the end result is to keep you safe. For now, at least. No, you can’t leave port charles. What about ava, huh? Don’t you still love her? Or spence? He should be getting out of pentonville soon. Don’t you want to be here for that? Or your mom. I mean, won’t you miss her? You’re wasting time. You know, where is my suitcase? The one I was packing before your whacked-out wife threw me off the parapet? She didn’t throw you, esme — you fell from your own momentum.

[ Scoffs ] Oh. Let’s tell that story to the police — see what they think. I’m sure the police would be far more interested in charging you with the hook attacks. Oh, my god. Not this again. As for your luggage, when you went missing, there was no reason to keep it. So it went up in smoke, so to speak. Oh, just like your plan to keep me here? Let’s establish some new house rules. Rule number one — no more lies. Mm. What’s rule number two? Never make me repeat myself. You have 5 minutes to pack your meager belongings for our journey. Nikolas, wait! It’s the baby! Quick, get help!

[ Groaning, panting ]


Esme: Something’s happening. What hurts? It’s a sharp pain. If you want this to work, you’ll have to do better. No, I’m serious.

[ Knock on door ] Demetrius: The helicopter will be here in 30 minutes, sir. Demetrius, help me!

[ Gasping ] It’s nothing to worry about, demetrius. Our guest is just violating rule number one about lying.

[ Whimpering ] Someone help me to the bed, please. It’s just an act.

[ Screams ] Are you sure, sir? Absolutely. Nikolas: Esme is conveniently getting cramps, right when we’re about to travel to a location that will be impossible for her to escape. You don’t know what a formidable liar she is. And you don’t know what it’s like to — to carry a child inside you, much less lose one.

[ Gasping ] But you’re about to.

[ Screams ] Sending me away as a teenager to live without my parents says it all, don’t you think? Your mother and I didn’t feel like we had any other choice. Right. Right. Because you were just trying to, quote/unquote, “protect” me? I guess it was just an added bonus that you no longer had to parent your wayward daughter, the one who exposed your affair and killed your mistress. Elizabeth, stop it. I won’t let you talk that way. Let me? You walked out of my life 25 years ago. You don’t get to just be my dad now. Or is the real issue that I called you out? You’ve created this narrative where your mother and i were somehow relieved to be rid of you. You were not wayward. Those are your words, not mine. And you were not responsible for reiko’s death. But I still wasn’t perfect, was I? Like sarah? Sarah isn’t perfect, either, because no one is. There’s no such thing. All carolyn and i ever wanted was for you both to be healthy and happy. Really? Because you didn’t have to drug sarah for her to be either. Elizabeth, I’m not saying that carolyn and i didn’t make mistakes, because we did. But one of the few things we did right was to finally admit the truth to you in monterey.

[ Sighs ] Even if it means you’ll never forgive us. Drew: Why are you so certain that the people that used to live on the commune with harmony wouldn’t know who your birth mother might actually be? In my experience, people who live in communes frequently change their names. They consider themselves to be free spirits who have a firm distrust of outsiders. Okay. Yeah, no, I get that. I do. I mean, obviously the people that used to live in that community have a fundamental distrust for law enforcement and for government in general. But, I mean, I’m not a cop. I’m not — I don’t work for the government. I’ll show up with a reporter from aurora, right? And then we can frame the questions as part of a human-interest story. And then we use the company’s publications to get the story out there. Somebody gave birth to you, and odds are that they had help, right? So somebody’s got to know something. You almost make me feel like this can actually happen. Mm. Almost. Every riddle has an answer. It’s about being thorough and reaching as many people as you can. Hopefully… as soon as possible. Nina: So you still want dinner? What are you in the mood for? Whatever you want is fine with me. I ruined everything, didn’t I? I ruined tonight. Why would you say that? Because I keep putting my foot in my mouth about willow and michael and tj, and then now telling you about carly. You know what? I’m going to have a new resolution — stay out of everyone’s damn business. I am your business. And you knew that I would want to know. I knew that it would matter to you. So, okay. You did the right thing. Wait till carly finds out that I told you, and she’s just going to want me dead. Okay. Okay. Okay. You got to let it go. Let’s just enjoy the evening. I would love to. But? I can’t help but wonder if it matters to you because brick is a trusted associate friend… mm-hmm. …Or… …because carly is your ex-wife.

[ Breathing heavily ] Why do you keep sticking your neck out for a total stranger? We’re not strangers. You came dumpster diving with me to help me find avery’s bracelet. And I happen to know that it is your life ambition to learn how to surf. I know you already know how to surf. Mm-hmm. And, uh, that you’re a really engaged, considerate big sister. But I don’t know a whole lot else. Like what? Like, what kind of music do you listen to? What shows do you binge?

[ Chuckles softly ] You first. What about sports? You into sports? I love watching football. What’s your favorite team? Um, college? Georgia bulldogs. Why? There was this guy in my unit — he loved the dawgs. He talked about them nonstop, had the whole roster memorized. It was just infectious, you know? He get so excited every game day, I couldn’t help but cheer them on, too. You guys stay in touch? Uh, no. No, he, uh, he died. Kia. “Killed in action”? Yeah. I’m sorry. Yeah, uh, me, too. Um… anyway, I, uh, I still root for the bulldogs. He’s not around to cheer them on anymore, so I do it for him. I want to go to a game in person someday. He always said the game-days were just I-incredible — the stadium is packed, and when the team runs out, they play “baba o’riley.” That is the weirdest name for a song. Okay. Um, you need to hydrate. All right, dex. I need you just sit up and drink this for me, okay?

[ Groans ] Or you’re gonna need my help. All right. Come here. Sit up.

[ Knock on door ]


I don’t expect you to forgive us. I don’t expect you to even understand what we did, though I’d be incredibly grateful if you did. But please believe me.

[ Sighs ] Every choice we made, as flawed and as misguided as they were, those choices were based on unconditional love for you. You’re a parent now, elizabeth. You love each of your sons in a unique way. Just as I loved you and sarah with all my heart. But honestly… the child I felt I had the most kinship with was you. Me? Why? Because I’m screwed up like you? Because you go your own way. You’re not afraid to take chances. The way I see it…

[ Breathes sharply ] …I’m nothing like you. You were when you were younger. You only knew me as a child, barely as a teenager. I am not the same person you sent away. Well, then… I hope you allow me to learn who it is who you’ve become. I already know I love elizabeth as much as I love lizzie.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Another chance would mean the world to me. But I won’t push. I won’t invade your space.

[ Ringing continues ]

[ Breathes deeply ]

[ Door opens ] From the little I’ve encountered of finn, he seems like a really good man. I hope I haven’t ruined things.

[ Screaming, groaning ] I need you. Please get to wyndemere as soon as you can. I’d be very grateful to you.

[ Sobbing, groaning ] It hurts so bad.

[ Whimpering ] Please hold my hand.

[ Screaming ] Carly: Joss, it’s mom. Okay, one second. One second. Hey, come in. Okay. Um, his temperature is really, really high. Do you have the antibiotics? They’re right here. Okay. Okay. Take these, all right? Here. Thank you. If you want to thank me, get some rest. The sooner that fever breaks, the better for all of us. All right. Easy. He’s had a really high fever for over a day now. I mean, how long do you think until it breaks? They’re strong antibiotics. My guess is the fever will break in the morning.

[ Sighs ] I hope you’re right.

[ Sighs ] You seem like you want to find your biological parents really quickly. Of course. I-I-I hope it’s sooner than later. Yeah, no. And I — I get that, but just — just to be clear, I mean, these things take time. Yeah. No, I’m just — I’m a little anxious to finally know the truth. Harmony wasn ‘t perfect by anystretch of the imagination… mm. …But still, there was some comfort in knowing that she was my mom. And now that I know she wasn’t, I just feel a bit unmoored. Hey. I thought olivia wanted leo to go back to the main house for dinner. Well, I called her and told her that he would be delayed. So, uh, leo found a cellphone, but it’s dead. So we have to charge it and find out who it belongs to. And leo wanted to stick around till the mystery was solved. So, leo, if you were a charger, where would you be? Hmm. Well, I would be made of aluminum and silicone, so… maybe upstairs.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, sorry. I seem overzealous. I just — I went back and forth deciding if I wanted to find my biological family. And now that I’ve made up my mind, I — stop right there, willow. I know exactly why you’re in such a hurry. The only thing between carly and me is donna. I know. I know. Right. But… wouldn’t it be awkward if she started dating someone that you know? All right, do me a favor — order for me? I want a big steak, okay?


You know the call that you gotearlier that took you away? Yeah. That’s all taken care of? Yeah, all sorted out. Well, I’m glad to hear it ’cause I — I wouldn’t want you to leave my ex-wife unsatisfied. Look, our situations aren’t identical, but they are similar enough. There was a time I didn’t know who my family was. And — and when you make that decision to find out, it’s like you feel like you need to know right now. So you do know how I’m feeling. Absolutely. The quartermaines embraced me as one of their own. I’m just hoping it’s gonna be the same case when you find your relatives. Yeah, that would — that would be ideal. But I also know that my biological relatives may not be as welcoming as the quartermaines. But…that’s okay.

[ Breathes sharply ] I don’t have to like them. Why would you say that?

[ Footsteps on stairs ] Did you find the charger? Just where I said silicone would be. But I’m hungry now. Bye! Drew: Bye! Willow: Bye! That right there — that’s what makes family everything.

[ Door closes ] I mean, scout, leo, rocco, wiley. Oh, yeah. They’re all characters. Funny, smart, precocious. Right? I mean, imagine in 10 years — imagine when they’re all teenagers. Won’t it be fun to see who they turn out to be?

[ Door opens, knock on door ] Hey. Elizabeth: Hi. Are you okay? My father will not be coming around here again uninvited. What happened last night that got your checked in here?

[ Sighs ] Oh. I ran into esme prince on pier 55. She didn’t attack you, did she? No. No, but I went to call 911, and she tried to grab my phone, and I fell and hit my head. They just checked me in for observation — mild concussion, but, really, I think they were just being overly cautious. Better safe than sorry. Yeah. Yeah. I’m the last person to defend esme, because I think she’s a maniac. But honestly, I don’t think she meant for me to fall. I’m really glad you weren’t hurt. I wish reiko hadn’t been. Me, too.

[ Sighs ] I hate that my dad showed up without warning. The last thing I wanted was for him to cause you more pain. It’s okay. I mean, it wouldn’t have been my first choice to…talk to your dad today, but in a strange way, it may have helped.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Did it feel good to punch him in the face? Maybe. I’m mean, I don’t feel good about it now, but… so, uh… what about my, um… …my role in what happened with reiko? I know last time we saw each other, you seemed like you just needed space to think about things. Have you? I have. A lot. You can’t be with me anymore, can you? I don’t blame you. What are you doing? Dex was shot. And you don’t know if somebody’s coming after him. What you do know is that he’s working for sonny, which means whatever he’s doing is dangerous. Mom, it’s not like I planned this, all right? It just happened. One thing led to another. It just snowballed from there, okay? But o-once he’s better, I will show him the door. Okay. But it’s a lot of risk you’re taking for a guy you barely know. It’s not what you think. How do you know what I’m thinking? Nothing inappropriate happened between me and your ex-wife, sonny. I would never. Yeah, I don’t imagine that you would. It’s just that, you know, I mean, you — you like flirting with carly. That’s all it is. And she’s in your room. Was. Briefly, okay? And only out of necessity. Okay, let’s — let’s just — let’s just get something clear. You work for me. Carly’s my ex-wife. I comprehend. Okay. So tell me what was going on in that room. I cannot do that.


Sonny, this has nothing to do with you. Carly needed something. She asked me to help her get it. And you’re the only one that can give it to her? Give it to her — no questions asked. Discreetly. Look, my allegiance is with you. Always. Forever. And you know I’ll tell you if you insist. But I’d rather not go back on my word. I know that your word is your bond. And if you tell me nothing compromising happened, then… …I accept your word. But you don’t like it. I know you’re a compassionate person. But is there any other reason you’re going this far out on a limb for dex? Well, I don’t know him all that well, mom, but we’re kind of becoming friends. And when I found ava after she had been stabbed at the quartermaine picnic and I yelled for help… he came running. He helped me save her life. And that bonded us. And on — on the subject of ava, I’m assuming that the cops haven’t found esme since she’s been back? No. They haven’T.

[ Scoffs ] Spencer’s in jail. She has no support system here. She has to be getting desperate. I mean, it’s only a matter of time, right? Things will go back to normal. This is not a time for you to let your guard down. We both know how dangerous esme is. And she’s not the only threat to your “normal.” Yeah, so, scout’s friend on her swim team — this renee — she comes back from vacation with her family from the caribbean, and she magically goes from brunette to blonde, right? So now, naturally… willow: Thank you. …Scout wants to go blonde, and I have no idea how to do it, so I ask renee’s mom. I’m like, you know, “what do we do? How do you do that?” And she’s like, “oh, no, no, no. It’s natural.” It’s just from being on the beach and out in the sun. And I’m like, “really?” Because three hours in a chlorine-filled pool, and renee went completely green. Oh, no! I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Hey. It’s not so bad. Sorry to keep ditching you guys. I just got to make a call real quick. Oh, yeah, yeah. No problem. Well, I’m hoping that got scout off the idea of becoming a blonde.

[ Door closes ] Yeah.

[ Cellphone ringing ] In the short amount of time we’ve been together, we’ve had a pretty spotty track record, and most of that has been on me. I mean, I-I kept you at arm’s length. I-I attacked your brother. I didn’t get help when I needed. I — and then I lied to you. And now you know that reiko fell when she was having an argument with me, which is how she caught the disease that killed her.

[ Voice breaking ] It’s just — it’s — it’s just too much for one relationship to withstand. It’s — it’s too much for you to possibly forget.

[ Breathes deeply ] Neither one of us will ever forget what we’ve been through. But that doesn’t mean we still don’t have anything to talk about.

[ Cellphone ringing ] I think it’s time that maybe we put this all down on the — the table.

[ Ringing continues ] I’m sorry. I-I have to answer this.

[ Sighs ] I’m right in the middle of something. Why do you keep calling me?

[ Sighs ] Okay. Uh, I’m on my way. I’m so sorry. I have to go. Is it something about the boys? No. No, it — it’s, um — it’s just something else that — something else, but you can’t tell me. I, uh… I really want to finish this conversation. I do. I really want to believe that’s true.

[ Sighs ] Finn, I’m — I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.

[ Door closes ]

[ Screaming, groaning ] Nikolas: Demetrius. Go downstairs and get the first aid kit. What? No.

[ Breathing heavily ] Yes, sir. No.

[ Whimpering, sobbing ] You can’t let me have even one friend, can you?

[ Door closes ] As memory serves, you make sex tapes of your friends.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Gasping ] Help is on the way. Really? Well, thank you. And [Sniffles] I know how much our baby means to you. Even if I don’T. I know you know that. And that’s why you’re pretending the little one is at risk. No, I’m not pretending, nikolas. I’m really in pain. A lot. I can promise you this — if you’re not really in pain now, you will be soon.


[ Cellphone ringing ] Dex. Why is your phone here? And where are you? I really appreciate you entrusting me to look for your birth parents. I want you to know that I will use every resource I have to get you some answers. I know that you will do everything that you can, but I also understand that this is a secret decades in the making, and I will not blame you if you hit a blank wall. I’m pretty confident I’m gonna get some results, okay? Because someone out there knows the truth about who you really are. Do you know anything about dex? I know that he was in the military. And I know that he doesn’t talk to his siblings. And I know that he did not come to me for help. I found him by accident. But now I’m in this. I need to see it through.

[ Chuckles softly ] I feel like I’m looking in the mirror. You’re so stubborn. I know you get that from me. I’m not even

gonna waste mybreath giving you more warnings ’cause you’re not gonna listen to me. That’s not fair. I always listen to you. Always? I just don’t always take the advice. Wow. [ Sighs ] You’re gonna sit here all night with him, aren’t you? Somebody’s got to. Okay. I have to get home to donna, or I would stay here all night with you. Do not open that door for anyone. And you call me if you need anything, okay? Okay.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Can’t believe we’re finally here. Beautiful downtown Jakarta, you only tell us what, uh, 36 hours. No, I’m so tired. I don’t know who I am, let alone my time. It is now. I thought a private jet was supposed to save time. Yeah, well, even if private plane can’t fly through a monsoon, so, Ugh. Real horizontal bed.

Hey, be careful with that stuff. That’s got my film equipment in it. It costs a fortune. Yeah. What you totally don’t need. Look, I’ve never been to Indonesia before and as a filmmaker, I want to document my experience. Okay? Listen up scsi. We’re not here to make a movie. We’re here to find out if your dad and my brother brainwashed Stephan.

Got it.

Ej, we need to talk. What are you doing in my chair? It’s not your chair. Okay, well, what are you doing in ejs Chair? Ejs outta the office today. Attending to a personal matter. Okay, well, I’m here attending to a personal matter myself. I want my company back

and something wrong. Should I go get those puppets back from Henry to make sure that we do this right? You wanna make dumb jokes or kiss?

You are telling me there was no Mr. Re client or the, the threats, the extortion. You weren’t representing someone else. It was just me all along. So you decide to put me and my daughter through hell for the money? No. I wanted to make you suffer for revenge. Revenge For what? For what? Just who the hell are you?

It’s true. You’ve killed someone. Yes. I, I did. I don’t buy a Dupree. You’ve never hurt anyone. But I did, and I have lived with it for years. But you never said anything I was gonna tell you a couple of weeks ago, but I, I couldn’t and I didn’t want you to know, but. Now everyone is going to know that a woman is dead and she’s dead

because of me.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

This isn’t your company, Gabby. We kicked you out. Remember I’m talking about Gabby Sheik. Which is now part of Dara. Why on earth would we give it back? Because you have basic black, why would you need another fashion house? Because Gabby Sheik makes us lots of money and Dara is like companies that make us lots of money, right?

But it’s my company. I built it from the ground up. It’s my concept. It’s our company. And maybe you should have done a better job at retaining the rights. It has. My name Gabby. The answer is, You can go

say there’s nothing you can do to change my mind. Oh, well how about this?

Am I interrupting?

I know why. You don’t have to bite my head off. Okay. Well, you don’t have to start sentences As a filmmaker,

I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I am nine degrees of Chet Laed. I’m here to find out if my brother did or did not do something. She really reprehensible. I’m just trying to think that maybe he did.

I don’t wanna know. I think maybe I have to look, I guess, uh, I guess I’m just so used to everyone in my family being willing to do anything to get what they want, if it means anything. If Lee is involved in brainwashing stuff and he did it because he really loves Gabby, my dad just did it for. We’re force of habits and the deras have been taking over people’s brains for generations.

It’s kind of like handing down the family recipe for pasta, fa, joli. They’re sweet in kind of a creepy way. Thank you. From what I heard at the office, your dad and my brother had this together. They sent wolf out of the country to cover their tracks. Now we need to figure out what he knows.

First we gotta find him. No, first I need to take a shower. I feel like I was born in these clothes.

Something tells me you stepped on a whole lot of people as you claw your way up in this. So I guess I’m not surprised that you have no idea who I am. So you think that I’ve wronged you somehow, you and your daughter. So to pay us back, you started digging for dirt and found out about that incident in London.

It was not an incident, it was a death, and I took that death very, very personally. Dupre. You need to know that you are looking at someone who is going to love you no matter what. I’m not so sure about that. Well, it doesn’t matter. I am. I don’t want you to know this about me, but you deserve to know the truth.

You better sit down.

Lee, your fiance and I were just talking shop. Oh, bilingually. By the way, will you tell this little minion here that, uh, Gabby Sheik is mine and that I’d like to have it returned to me asap, Gabby. There’s no way in hell EJ is going to return that little dress shop of yours. It’s mine. Gabby, lemme just talk to EJ about it, see what we can work out.

Oh man. Lee, it looks like your personal life and your professional life are on a major collision course. I mean, you’re in love with Gabby, you’re working for ej. Looks like you’re caught between a rock and a Dera place. Will you please just shut up? Hmm. So touchy pre-wedding jitters bride. Lee, unless you have some business here, I’ve got work to do.

I was actually looking for Jing Wen, but she wasn’t in her office. Where is she’s working remotely today. Really? From where?

What are you doing? Answering work? Emails. I have to keep people from wondering why I’m not in the office. Right. Are you going to get dressed? Am I distracting you? Yeah, cuz you’re dripping water everywhere. Ah, there’s already water everywhere. It’s humid as hell. At least imagine. Tell us more of a dry heat.

Hmm. Uh, well, before I get dressed, I had a thought in the shower and I wanted to share it with you that you should stop shaving your chest hair. Nope. Don’t shave my chest tears. I just don’t grow any. Anyway, the thought that I. Was Rolf in his experiments, right? How he lives for them. I don’t think there’s any way that he would’ve ever agreed to come here if my dad and your brother didn’t set him up with some kind of lab, a high tech one.

That sounds like a good place to start. Hey, Stephanie. It’s uh, it’s Chad. Look, I just wanted to give you a heads up. Apparently Sloan gave Gwen Rez check her file on Chanel. Um, I, I, I convinced her to sit down and, and run the story about trash instead. I think that we should still probably get together and figure out how we want to move forward.

Um, just gimme a call. Okay. Bye.

That was nice. I’m glad you proof. We should stop though, because Henry’s in the other room and he could wander back in. I don’t like it, but you’re right. Can’t traumatize the kid. Yeah. Ally has enough to deal with as it is. It all happened when I was living in London and I was still in college. Um, university.

And it was my senior year and I had an affair with one of my professors. And she was the woman who died? No, no. Um, she was married to him and, um, he was the very dreamy doctor Nathan. Bedford,

I was struggling in his class and you know, the bread, they, they grew up reading Dickens and I was just lost. And so I thought that’s why he was getting me extra attention and he was trying to, I, well I thought he was trying to help me, um, catch up in his classes and I, um, I would go to his office. Office hours cuz he asked me to.

And he, he really seemed like he, he cared about what I, what I thought. Hmm. I’m sure he did. Anyway, uh, we were reading Bleak House and he took me to the rooftop of the English department and he wanted to show me some of the locations from the book. And Ali, oh God. It was, it was beautiful. The sun was setting over the Tims and he pointed out to where Chancery was and ah, I, I leaned over to try to see it and I got scared and he.

He pulled me back and he kissed me

and it was, it was thrilling to me. And that was the start of the affair

and the start of. The worst thing that has ever happened to me.

So I love my wedding present. A new bride per book. Yeah. Hello. That’s between, uh, that and what to, uh, expect on your wedding night. , you’re so hilarious. So how are you? Just don’t ask me that because I am really doing fine, except when Roman is always asking me how I’m doing and then that drives me crazy.

Well, that’s because he was scared he was gonna lose you. So was I. I know. And are you, you both went through a love. So how are you doing? You probably have a lot on your plate with this Paulina situation. . Yeah. Stephanie and I have been on full damage control since the story broke. Yeah. How’s that going?

Given how you feel about her? You remember that? Yes. I remember it. Dying. I wasn’t dead. And how did you So elegantly put it really into her. Well, yeah. And then I also said that I wasn’t ready for anything to happen between us. Yeah. Well is that still the case?

It doesn’t matter. It’s a moot point. She’s dating Alex Carri.

Oh, well this is domesticated now, isn’t it? Oh yeah. Maybe later we can watch a cooking show. Oh yeah. Mm-hmm. , you gotta say, it is hard to believe. A couple weeks ago you couldn’t stand me, and now I put, apparently you can sort of call . You have to admit, when we first met you were. Obnoxious. Ouch. The touche.

I was trying to be disarming. Well, it wasn’t completely your fault. He was bad timing. Meaning the last guy I dated, he came on strong like you did. Like I was the end all and the be all. I mean, I really fell for it. But then he just, um, well you spell Ghosted, , and, um, there you were following the exact same playbook, so I wasn’t about to let you or any man play me like that Again, those months were, Oh, they were magic.

And it wasn’t just about the sex. He would give me books to read that I never heard of, and he’d ask me questions about what I thought and what I felt about those books, and, and then it would be days later and we will be lying in bed and then outta nowhere, he’d say, oh, I was thinking about what you said.

And it was just it. It made me feel like he not only listened, but he actually took what I said serious. It was the polar opposite of mama. He, he actually treated me like I was an adult. But you were a kid. Chanel, he was your teacher. He, he used his position and his status to, sorry, go on.

Um,

you know how it goes. Um. I fell head over heels in love with him and I was gonna marry him and I was going to inspire him to finish the novel that he knew he had in him. And what about the wife?

Uh, you’ll be stunned to hear that he told me the marriage was loveless and toxic and that he was just there for the kids, and now the kids were gone. How long were you two together? Almost the whole semester.

And then one night I got this text from him saying to meet him on the rooftop hour up our. Special place only when I got there. It wasn’t him,

it was the wife.

Just how personal is this vendetta of yours? It’s finally clicking into place, isn’t it?

I didn’t see it before, maybe because I never. But I’ve seen a picture and now I can see a slight resemblance. Yeah, people always did say I had her eyes. Dr. Bedford’s wife, the one who Chanel murdered.

Shouldn’t pick up. Wonder where she is? Well, she’s probably at home. Right? I’ll see if I have her new address. Well, I know where it is. She’s, um, staying with Allie and Chanel. When did that happen? Wendy said, Johnny set it up. Okay, well, um, I guess I’ll head over there now. One head over with me. Actually, I’m gonna get the Gabby Sheik paperwork ready so that when EJ gives me the, okay, I can hit the ground running.

Oh, hang on. I just got a weather report here. It says once EJ gives the, okay, hell will freeze over and I’ll see you tonight. You know, I think, um, I’m gonna wait for you to come back here with him. Did I not mention that I have work to. The printer should have the wedding invitation proofs within the hour, and I thought we could look them over together.

You’re sure you wanna wait? Well, I mean, I’d like to get them approved as soon as possible. Okay. I’ll be back as soon as I can play. Nice.

Any luck? I’ve been using my access to damer files, to local police corporate expenses and so far I don’t see any payments for lapse on your Carta. Did you try using my father’s too? Nothing. But what if they’re disguising? The lease is just regular office space. All they do lease a lot of buildings here.

Whatever it is, it would take a lot more power. Right to, to power a full-blown lab. You’re right. Than an actual office. I’ll, I’ll look up electricity pills.

Bingo.

She, she must have read the, the text because she, she knew about the, um, the rooftop and she. She’d set the whole thing up and when, when I got there and she saw me, she lost it. And I can’t even tell you the thing she called me, but the nicest one was home wrecker. And I should have just turned around and left, but I was, I was so stupid young.

You were young. Anyway, I don’t know why, but I, I tried to explain to her that he was unhappy with her and that he loved me and that he was going to divorce her and marry me, and she just looked right at me and said, he’s mine, and then she slapped me. She never said she loved him. Just, he’s mine.

And then she told me that he was lying to me and that he would never leave her or their bay water flat with a garden bitch. And then I said, oh, and I shouldn’t have, I should have, what did you say? Is that flat? Yours too. And, oh, God, ally, she lost it. She, she just, she charged me like a rocket. And I, I, I tried to get away.

I tried it, but it all happened so fast and I tried to push her away, but, but I, I didn’t realize how close we were to the edge and then,

I can still hear her scream,

and then I looked over the side and she was lying there in a pool of blood and

I killed her rally. I killed her.

My mother was the strongest, smartest woman I’ve ever known. She was the reason I became a lawyer. I always wanted to be just. I was actually in law school when I, uh, I got the call, they said she’d killed herself, which didn’t make any sense. But, uh, but then my dad called and uh, he said it was true. What exactly did he tell you?

That he told her he wanted a divorce and she couldn’t take it, so she jumped off a building, but, Again, didn’t make any sense because she’s a fighter. She would never do that. So your father never told you about Chanel? Oh, you mean his side piece? Watch it. No, he didn’t share that part of the story with me.

And when he resigned his position, I thought it was because he was grieving. Of course, now I know the truth. And when he stopped working on that novel that he always talked about, he started drinking himself to death. When you first started to blackmail me, I looked into his whereabouts. I saw that he died a couple years ago.

When he was dying, he took my hand and he told me that my mother hadn’t really killed herself. It was at his funeral that I decided to find out what had really happened, which is when I found out that your precious little Chanel had killed my mother.

What happened next?

I didn’t know what to do. I, I just stood there frozen for a long, long time, and then all of a sudden the campus. Burst through the door of the rooftop, and they took me down to their office and they asked me what happened, and I couldn’t even really hear what they were saying because I just kept hearing her in my head.

I kept hearing what she said to me that, that I was a slut and a home record, and she told me that she had children and that I had ruined their lives. And, and so then I just, I just blurted out, it’s my fault. It’s my fault. And I told them that I was having an affair with her husband and that. I pushed her and I even signed a statement.

I don’t understand. I mean, obviously there was no trial

and no one seems to know about this. How did you keep it quiet?

Are you at all interested in the truth, or do you just wanna be a self-righteous victim? Oh, I know the truth. I read her statements. She admitted she pushed my mother. Well, sh she admitted she pushed her only to protect herself. No, she didn’t lure your mother to that roof. She didn’t lunge at your mother.

If it was self-defense, why did you cover it up? You hid the evidence, the surveillance photos, the. Not to mention the hush money you gave this school. Well, she’d been through enough. She got off Scott free. She seduced my father, killed my mother. And then you just went and cuted it up.

So Stephanie’s dating Sonny’s brother. It was one date. How do you feel about that? I think that she can do better, but I’m a friend, so I’m gonna support her because that’s what friends do. Oh, I. Um, what happens when you decide that you want to be more than France? I don’t know, Kate. I don’t know if or when I will be ready to move on.

I, I’m, I, I might never move on with someone else again. I might never be with anybody else, ever again. Oh, come on. Don’t say that. I think I know Abigail would want you to fall in love. I just hope that you don’t wait too long. Oh, Stephanie and Alex May have crashed and burned by then. I’ll fallen madly in love.

Thank you. You know, I am ashamed to admit that I have certainly ghosted my fair share of women, although I was pretty upfront about what. intentions were, you know, I wasn’t looking for love or any type of commitment. Just a good time. Looking back on that now, it’s a pretty crappy thing to do. Hmm. And why were you so scared of love?

I wasn’t scared of love, I just, I was averse to it. An important distinction.

I honestly think it’s cuz of my mom. Angelica. Yeah. Yeah. She always, she always told me growing up the entire time that love was this trap full of misery and pain and upbeat was. Yeah, she was a pretty bitter woman after my dad left her for Adrian. So rather than getting hurt again, she just went from one meaningless fling to the next, and I guess I kind of followed her lead.

Could I tell you this though? The woman wasn’t wrong. If you don’t care, you don’t get hurt.

But then, But what my mom went on to live this really sad life after my dad was gone. She just became kind of desperate. That must have been really hard to watch, especially after my dad and Adrian seemingly had it all. You know, I told myself this whole time that I was just like my.

That I would never have what they did,

and I met you.

When you said you were going to wait for Leah, I didn’t realize you meant in my office. Shut your office. Well, could you keep it down please? The noise is driving me nuts. I can’t focus. Oh, it’s the printer. Sounds private. Maybe you should take it in the hall. Martin. Hi. Yes. Did you send over? No, no, no, no. I don’t have the name of the fonts.

I dunno them off the top of my head, but you know what? I am in my old office. You know what? They could be here. Hang on a second. Wait. See? Ej, did it move so much here?

Hi. Hi, can I help you? I’m Lee Shin Jing. Wen uh, Wendy’s brother. Is she here? The new roommate? No, I’m sorry. Um, Ellie told me she left town. Oh. Um, did she say where she went? No, not as I recall. Sorry. Well, thanks for your time. For sure. And if, uh, I hear from all and she says anything, we’ll be sure to let you.

I’d appreciate that. Take care. You too.

This is Lee in. I need you to locate my sister. So if we’re right, Dr. Ralf slab is only a few miles away and with Jakarta traffic, that should be what? An hour? We better get a move on. Wait, wait, wait. We don’t even have a plan. Even if we do find this guy, he’s not just gonna admit that he brainwashed someone.

Uh, then I’ll say I’m here on Lee’s behalf, uh, that he wants me to make sure he has everything he needs. Okay. Yeah, and I’ll, I’ll say that my dad sent me. Oh, too risky. I’m sure he knows you’ve been on the office with your dad. It’s better if I go alone. I’ll, I feel like I’m in on everything. Trick him into confessing.

No, no, no. We, he’s just gonna deny it later. We need proof. Okay. Uh, I can use my phone to record him

and actually I have a better idea after the campus cops took my statement. I called my mother and she was on the next plane to London telling her about Nathan what happened. It was the hardest thing that I’d ever had to do. She just went into mother bear mode and when she got there, she met with the president of the school and she convinced him that it would be a huge scandal if the truth came out.

A distinguished professor having an affair with a young, impressionable student and, uh, she also offered to make a sizable donation. Make it all go away and the president agreed, they issued a statement saying that Martha, Committed suicide and the surveillance photos and my statement, they all just disappeared as far as anyone knew.

I was never there that night.

So how did Sloan and her client get all this evidence? I have no idea. How long have you been plotting all this? About a year. I tracked you and Chanel down to Salem, set up my practice here using my mother’s maiden name, Peterson. I didn’t want you to see me coming. And then I waited for the perfect moment to make my move to do as much damage as possible when I was running for governor.

Write smack dab in the public. You know, you are very much like your mother. You find out your father’s a lion cheat who said your mother committed suicide to cover his butt down zero 60. You go blaming someone else lies, threats named calling blackmail with no reflection. There might be another side to the story and that maybe your mother isn’t quite the feminist saint that you make her out to be.

Don’t you say another word about my mother? I’m just saying you.

And Chanel is like me and vice versa. So you have, uh, metaphorically lured me to the rooftop. You talking smack you threatening me thinking you got me in your clutches. But as I said, my daughter and I are very much alike. Someone charges me, I shov back hard. So you might want to think about where you might land.

You need to listen to me. That woman attacked you. It was self-defense. I go at her. She’s the one who lured you to the rooftop in the first place. I was sleeping with her husband. That professor prayed on you. Tell me, after this happened, did he even try and help you? I never saw him again. He was forced to resign.

Poor. Allie, you don’t understand the guilt. I, I kept pushing it down, trying to deny it, and that’s why I was in the party scene when we met. But don’t you see it’s all come back because, because I never paid for what I did. I killed that woman. And now, I have to face the consequences

no matter what you say. Chanel is going to prison the hell she is. Now I know it must be hard for you to accept the fact that your father was a drunken sex addict, and your mother lured a young woman to the roof that night to punish her, humiliate her, make her pay. She instigated that fight. Chanel was only defending herself and.

I am not going to let your neurotic need to rewrite history, ruin my daughter’s life. No. She is gonna get what’s coming to her, what she deserves, and so are you. And that’s a promise. Sorry I never met you folks. Sound like a fun couple

baby.

Everything. Okay. Um, Chad left me a message about the situation with Paulina. I’d, I’d better go check in. Okay. If you must. Thank you for coming by and helping me out with Henry. Hmm. No problem. But, Before you go, do you think maybe we could go on another date? I think I would look forward to that.

I don’t wanna hold Stephanie back when I can’t promise anything. Oh God. There you go again, always having to be fair. Always having to do the right thing. I don’t even know why I like you.

Oh honey. If I push you, it’s just because I want you to be happy again. Yeah, yeah. I know. I know. Yeah. I’m so glad I was able to find my. Thank you Martin. I’m gonna, I’ll be waiting for your email. Okay. Time for you to go. I’m waiting for me. Wait somewhere else. I don’t wanna wait somewhere else. Okay. Too bad.

Get your hands off me. I want you outta here now. No.

Did you find my sister? She logged in from where?

Hey. Hey. You ready for your hidden mic? Oh, I am now. I wasn’t about to let you get anywhere near me until I showered. Okay. Uh, Lift up your shirt.

Just gonna take this in, uh, right here,

this mic. We’ll pick up everything that Groff says and I will be right outside. So I guess the film equipment came in handy after all.

How’s that feel? Feels good. I mean, it’s fine.

Am I making you nervous? Why would I be nervous? I dunno. You tell me.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Abby: No, don’t say that. We can’t be over. No. I love you too much. And what happened with devon — it was just a moment of weakness on my part.

Chance: It wasn’T. It was more than that.

Abby: No, it was — it was a mistake. It was a mistake and it was entirely my fault and I am sorry. I am sorry. I was hurt and confused about the distance that had grown between us.

Chance: Abby, what you did was a reaction to a bigger issue that we have.

Abby: Yes. Yes. My — my expectations. I promise I will — I will stop being so judgmental about your job. I will put aside my idealistic fantasy about having this perfect marriage. We can work on it.

Chance: Abby, we can’t because the truth is, we’re not working anymore. And it’s finally time that you face that — because I have.

Tucker: Come in. I know. I’m raring to go. I’m excited.

Audra: [ Chuckles ]

Tucker: And I can’t wait to hear your new ideas on our move on chancellor-winters.

Audra: Uh, they haven’t made a final decision about the ipo, but I know jill is in favor of doing it.

Tucker: Okay, that’s good news.

Audra: There are still issues. I mean, even if they do go ahead, you don’t have the advantage newman had.

Tucker: Oh, don’t sell yourself short. You’ve been an excellent mole.

Audra: Uh, I prefer liaison. I can feed you information, but I’m not going to get any access to any shares of the stock. And nate knows vastly more about the inner workings of the company than I do. He could still give newman an upper hand.

Tucker: Yes, but we do have a plan.

Audra: Right.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] Your optimism is invigorating. So, what about jabot? Did you get any intel on their financials?

Audra: Not yet.

Tucker: Uh-huh.

[ Clicks tongue ] I’ve given you plenty of time to do that.

[ Sighs ] Is there a problem? Something I don’t know about? Because I’ve done my part to pave the way for this strategy. Should all be coming together by now.

Diane: I got your ominous text — polite, yet vaguely threatening.

Ashley: You have no idea.

Diane: Well, I have a job that you pulled me away from to rush on over here. So, what is it that you need to discuss so urgently?

[ Door closes ]

[ Sighs ] I see you have your pack of hyenas lying in wait for me. So much for a fair fight.

Nikki: Who says we’re here for a fight?

Phyllis: We just want to have a pleasant conversation with you.

Diane: Oh, okay. Sure. Um, what’s the topic? Oh. Me.

Phyllis: Uh, well, yeah, you. Uh, but the other topic is convicted felon jeremy stark.

Nikki: See, we know that you moved money around the world for him illegally. The fact that you didn’t go to prison alongside him is really quite the mystery.

Ashley: It is. And now that he’s about to be released from prison, I bet he’s thinking, “gee, I wonder whatever happened to my old accomplice, diane jenkins?”

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Diane: Is it possible that you ladies are actually getting worse at this? I mean, I almost have to laugh at the absurdity of your latest ploy.

Nikki: Hey, good idea. Why don’t you laugh yourself right out of town?

Diane: Uh-huh. I don’t know where you’re getting your story from, but the only connection I had to jeremy stark was that we went out on a couple of dates. The idea that he — wait, what was it? — That I was moving money illegally around the world for him is ridiculous. Oh! Wait. Tucker told you this story, didn’t he? Oh, my gosh, the three of you are even more gullible than i thought.

Ashley: Well, what difference does it make where it came from, as long as it’s the truth?

Diane: Well, tucker has clearly decided he doesn’t have use for me anymore. He no longer needs me to tell him where you are or who you’re dating because he has a direct line to you now. And I — I guess you’re falling for his manipulations again. I mean, haven’t you learned your lesson?

Ashley: Wow, you’ve got so much nerve. Diane, you keep making the same mistakes over and over and over again.

Diane: Let me lay this out for you. Tucker is desperately trying to impress you, so he’s feeding you what you want to hear, what all of you want to hear — that i have some nebulous connection to a white collar criminal. Ohh! I bet you couldn’t wait to gobble up this story to scare me. But I don’t scare easily. This latest attempt was pathetic, and I think we’re done now.

Phyllis: We’re not done. What makes you think we don’t have proof to your crimes?

Lily: Amanda. Hi. It’s lily. Um, I thought you were gonna send me the contracts for the recording studio that we’re gonna buy, but I don’t see anything in my inbox. So, I hate to nudge you on this, but we have to get moving. Um, so, anyway, just —

[ Computer dings ] Oh, wait. I think I — yep, I see an e-mail from you right now. So, you know what? I’m gonna read this, and I’ll get back to you. Thank you. A letter of resignation?

Abby: I can’t believe that i blew up our relationship over a lapse in judgment that I don’t even understand. I mean, if I could turn back the clock, if I could make it so it never happened, you have to believe me that I would.

Chance: I’m sure you have regrets, abby, but it doesn’t make a difference.

Abby: How can you say that?

Chance: Abby, this wouldn’t have happened if you two didn’t have feelings for each other.

Abby: What?

Chance: If you didn’t act on them now, you would have eventually.

Abby: No, no, that’s not true, okay? This isn’t some sort of suppressed, forbidden passion, okay? I was upset. I was upset because you didn’t come home that night.

Chance: Okay, look, I will admit this is not entirely your fault, okay? Like I said, I sensed this. I knew it was coming. Maybe it was inevitable but i just refused to let myself face the fact, buried myself in work. I avoided any kind of difficult conversation with you until you ended up in devon’s arms.

Abby: No. No. I am not gonna accept that. There is no forethought with this. I don’t know why you think that.

Chance: Abby, I have laid out all the evidence. I’m not sure why you can’t accept it.

Abby: No. See, you are trying to connect dots that don’t exist. You are trying to make this make sense in your mind, but you are not seeing things clearly.

Chance: Abby, you are not seeing things clearly. There have been signs that our marriage had been faltering since the day I got back from spain. My inability to connect, my preoccupation with what happened over there. I mean, I was having trouble bonding with dominic. I ignored all that, and I threw myself into work.

Abby: Because you were traumatized, not because there was a problem in our relationship.

Chance: No, the ptsd divided us, and that divide has just been growing since. In a way, I am just as much to blame as you are. You were the one that kept fighting for us. You were the one that urged me to go to therapy, the one that helped me work out my feelings. I don’t know. Maybe you got tired of vying for my love and attention.

Abby: I hate that you are so noble and logical about this. No. I am the one to blame, okay? This is my fault, not yours.

Chance: Look, I’m not trying to make you feel guilty. I’m just trying to get you to face the reality.

Abby: What reality? Are you really suggesting that our marriage is over? Who says you have to spend more on skincare

Chance: I just think we’d be prolonging the inevitable if we try to repair things.

Abby: No. No, no, it is not inevitable. We have the power to change our circumstances, to change our future. And I am not ready to give up on you, not yet, not after everything we’ve been through.

Chance: Abby, at your core, you want something different, someone different.

Abby: No. No, the only person that I want is you.

Chance: No, I am fundamentally different from the things that you want. Okay? And I’ve tried. And I can’t be the man you desire. And sticking around to learn that lesson again…is just gonna cause more pain. I can’t do it. I think it’s better for both of us if we just make a clean break.

Abby: [ Sniffles ]

[ Voice breaking ] I couldn’t possibly feel more heartache and pain than I feel right now. What are you suggesting?

Chance: I think you know.

Abby: So, what, you’re just gonna leave? You’re gonna walk out on your family? On our son? What about dominic?

Lily: “This is to inform you that I am resigning from my position as general counsel of chancellor-winters.”

[ Sighs ] “I’m flying back to virginia this afternoon and will not be returning to genoa city. I deeply appreciate how flexible you have been with imani and me these past months, as we’ve needed to travel back and forth to deal with my mother’s medical issues. But now I have to rethink my work situation and my life so i can be close to my family. I know it’s a hard time for chancellor-winters, and I am committed to working remotely until you find my replacement. I’ve made a short list of possible candidates. Thank you, lily, for having faith in me, for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime. Please know I was truly happy here while it lasted.”

Devon: Hello?

Lily: Uh, I just got a formal resignation letter from amanda. Did you know about this?

Devon: Uh, unfortunately, yeah.

Abby: Well, what the hell is going on?

Tucker: If I’m gonna execute what I want to do, I need a partner who’s running on all cylinders and laser-focused. Your focus seems split recently.

Audra: I don’t know what you mean.

Tucker: [ Laughs ] Really? Does this have anything to do with noah newman?

Audra: [ Sighs ]

Tucker: Hmm? Your ex becoming an issue here?

Audra: Absolutely not.

Tucker: Okay. And yet there appears to be a problem, and I don’t like problems. And I don’t like that my plan seems to have stalled on both fronts.

Audra: I’m not the one whose personal life is getting in the way of your goals.

Tucker: And what do you mean by that?

Audra: I mean your motives are personal, okay? That’s a recipe for disaster with plans of this magnitude. I mean, it makes the whole thing unstable, as far as I’m concerned, and it’s skewed your thinking.

Tucker: How so?

Audra: You’re not being realistic, okay? It’s too ambitious. You want too much.

Nikki: I should remind you that we have the full force of victor’s P.I. Team behind us, so we don’t have to rely solely on what someone tells us.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] You know, victor’s P.I.S don’t intimidate me. And neither do you. You’ve got nothing. And you know how I know that? This conversation. Because if you had any proof, you wouldn’t be just warning me. You’d be using it.

Phyllis: Well, what makes you think we’re not using it?

Diane: Oh, I suppose you can go to the feds with this ridiculous hearsay. Hey, good luck with that. They will probably laugh you right out of the office, not just because you look like three busybodies with some gossip, but because this man you’re referring to — I knew him years ago. And the statute of limitations on supposed crimes is long past.

Ashley: That’s so interesting that you know the statute of limitations on crimes you didn’t even commit.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] Your plan has no legs, and there is nothing you can use to frighten me or force me to abandon my son for a second time. So, go ahead. Have at it. Make up all the evidence against me you want. It’s pointless.

Phyllis: Well, you know, that’s the beauty of our strategy, diane, is we actually don’t have to say or do anything to, um, frighten you or intimidate you. Jeremy stark will do that all on his own. He’s been in prison for six years. He’s had a lot of time to think, think, “why is diane not here?” Or taylor, right? Why are you a free bird? Maybe he wonders if you were the one who ratted him out.

Ashley: Oh, I bet he’s so pissed off. I mean, he’s just dwelling on your betrayal.

Nikki: Are you sure you want to stick around genoa city? Because you’ll just be a sitting target. It would be a shame if someone were to reach out to him and tell him exactly where you are.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] If you’re on medicare,

Diane: So, this is what it’s come to. You are threatening to send a criminal to menace me.

Ashley: You know, I will acknowledge that maybe we got the facts wrong. I mean, maybe jeremy stark would actually welcome the opportunity to reunite with his former lover.

Phyllis: Yeah, I mean, he’s been in prison for six long years.

Ashley: Yeah.

Phyllis: I’m sure he wants companionship. I mean, his standards are probably really low.

Nikki: I mean, maybe he’ll be willing to overlook the fact that you helped put him away, but maybe not.

Diane: You all act like I’m so diabolical, but I have never attempted to send a convicted felon after any of you.

Phyllis: No, no, no, no, no, no. Uh, you framed me for felony.

Nikki: And you let me be charged for your “murder.”

Ashley: You know, when you think about it, I mean, you sending stark to prison is kind of progress for you, isn’t it? ‘Cause he is an actual criminal.

Diane: How pathetic are all of your lives that you have nothing better to do than to try to destroy mine?

Phyllis: Payback is a bitch, isn’t it?

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Nikki: And we know that you would do the same thing to us if you had the opportunity.

Ashley: Absolutely. I mean, it’s only a matter of time before you revert back to your old ways. Come on, diane.

Phyllis: Actually, you know what? I’m gonna disagree about you saying “revert” because it sort of implies that she’s changed, and I know for a fact she hasn’T.

Ashley: Oh.

Diane: Oh, really? If that’s true, phyllis, then do you really want to test me when you know what I’m capable of?

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness. Diane, are you threatening me?

Diane: No, no, no. It’s just an observation. Just because I’m capable of doing something, I might not do it. I’ve decided not to be vengeful and petty like the three of you. I’ve left the person that I used to be in the past. And you can believe me or not, but I have reformed.

Ashley: Oh, my god! So you keep saying over and over again, and maybe kyle and jack buy it for now, but we don’t!

Diane: I regret the things I’ve done! Okay? I mean, come on! Surely the three of you can relate to that. Is there one person in this room that hasn’t done something regrettable or questionable or despicable?

Phyllis: Yes, I actually have. I actually have, I’ll admit. But all of those things that i did are because of you.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ] That’s true for all of us.

Diane: And yet the three of you are allowed to repent and be forgiven, whereas I’m not. It’s an unfair double standard that I have been forced to live with and accept. So, fine, don’t forgive me. But if you’re being honest with yourself, you know that since I’ve returned to genoa city, i have not done one thing to cause any of you any trouble.

Phyllis: That’s completely untrue. I almost got fired because you lost your mind.

Diane: Yeah, but you didn’T. And since then, I have tried to extend an olive branch to you several times. And the two of you I just try to steer clear of.

Ashley: That’s not true. You’ve practically moved into my family home.

Nikki: And, uh, may I say that I appreciate you having the common sense to stay away from the ranch.

Diane: You know, the three of you have — have really tried to make my life miserable. And — and I have to admit that you have succeeded to a certain extent. You know, it would probably be a lot easier for me to just go away. But there is one reason that i don’t — my son. He is the reason that I can put up with all of your attacks. His support means more to me than any of these allegations you come up with.

Phyllis: Okay. Because you love your son does not make you a saint.

Diane: Oh, well, you should know.

Phyllis: I have to actually give you a compliment, though, that you’ve been able to have him on your side this entire time. It’s admirable. But eventually we’re gonna come up with proof, and he won’t be able to deny it anymore.

Diane: You leave kyle out of this.

Phyllis: Really?

Diane: Yeah.

Phyllis: What are you gonna do? Kyle’s my family. Kyle is their family. And the thing about the three of us is we protect our own.

Diane: So do I. I have tried to ignore you, to turn the other cheek. But I can only be pushed so far before it’s too far. Do you hear me? I am better than the three of you put together when it comes to playing dirty. So, why don’t you just back off? Leave me the hell alone! Or I will turn the tables on you so fast your heads will spin.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door slams ]

Nikki: Wow.

Tucker: Are you forgetting that optimism is the lifeblood of success?

Audra: But it has to be paired with practicality.

Tucker: And initiative. Hmm? You know I never shy away from a challenge. And ambition. Ambition — whew. That’s a turn-on for me.

[ Chuckles ] I thought you felt the same way.

Audra: I do.

Tucker: Hmm. Then why is it so wrong for me to want to reconnect with devon and ashley?

Audra: I mean, there’s nothing wrong with that specifically. It’s the rest of the plan that’s the overshoot. You want to acquire both chancellor-winters and jabot for mccall, with devon running chancellor and ashley running jabot.

Tucker: That’s very good. Yes, that’s an accurate and very succinct summation of my agenda. Yes. My son and the love of my life working with me.

Audra: Actually, they’d be working for you.

Tucker: That’s a minor technicality. They’d still have plenty of autonomy. Be a mutually beneficial partnership.

Audra: I doubt they’ll see it that way.

Tucker: Oh, well, I can be very persuasive.

[ Clears throat ] I can say, “united, we’ll, uh — we’ll be unstoppable and we’ll be bonded in the most powerful force on earth.”

Audra: [ Chuckles ] That argument might have flown in the ashram, but out here in the real world, it’s laughable.

Tucker: [ Clears throat ] When did you become such a cynic?

Audra: I’m a realist, okay? Your scheme relies on a series of actions I have never believed you could pull off. To get what you want, both devon and ashley would have to turn against their families and agree to work with you. Do you really think that’s possible?

Tucker: I’m so disappointed in your lack of faith.

Audra: [ Sighs ] Okay.

Tucker: You obviously don’t know me very well.

Chance: Of course I still want to be a part of dominic’s life. I’m his father. Well, one of his fathers. And I know it’s taken me a really long time and a lot of effort to figure out how to be that, but I don’t want to lose the connection I made with him. So, we can still be a family, just a different kind.

Abby: I hate how rational you can be about all of this. I mean, the way you talk about our son so matter-of-factly. I know that I hurt you, that you’re angry. So why don’t you just yell at me or blame me or do something, do something to show me that you have some feelings about this at all?

Chance: You’re gonna blame me now for being rational? Abby, I am trying to be as understanding as possible, given the circumstances.

Abby: [ Sniffles ]

Chance: One thing I can’t bring myself to do right now is comfort you.

Abby: I’m sorry.

[ Voice breaking ] I am so sorry that I broke us.

[ Sniffles ] I don’t even know what to say.

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Sighs heavily ]

[ Knock on door ]

Devon: Hey. I figured we should talk about this in person.

Lily: Uh, yeah. You think? First of all, I have so many questions. I mean, how long did you know about this? And why didn’t you warn me?

Devon: I just found out about it. I had an idea it might happen, but I wasn’t for sure. And I certainly didn’t think amanda would move so fast.

Lily: Okay, well, you know, a heads-up would have been nice.

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: So, I’m sorry. Is imani quitting, too?

Devon: I honestly don’t know.

Lily: [ Sighs ] Oh, my god. Oh, my god, this is so bad. This is so bad. The timing could not be any worse. We have so much going on right now. It’s, like, we have the recording studio that we’re trying to buy. We have a million podcasts that we’re trying to get up and running. There’s a stack of contracts we have to get through. I mean, she’s leaving us in the worst situation. What, let me guess. You think I’m not being empathetic to her? I mean, I’m sorry. This is the cold, harsh reality of business.

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: [ Sighs ] My god. You know what? Maybe deep down, I kind of knew this was gonna happen. It’s like, I get that she wants to be with her family. I know that you two have been going through a lot. I know it’s been hard.

Devon: Yeah, it has been hard, but…

Lily: I’m sorry. I’m focused on work. I haven’t asked about you. Are you okay?

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: I know that the distance has been hard for you guys.

Devon: Yeah. No, I’M… I’m fine, and I tried to convince her to stay, but she was adamant about leaving.

Lily: What do you — what do you mean, she was adamant? Like, is something going on? Like, did you two have a falling-out?

Devon: No, we’re — we’re working through — working through things.

Lily: Okay, ’cause her letter was very tense and formal. I mean, it made me think that something else was going on.

Devon: Well, I just — i understand why she made her choice, and, uh, I respect it. That’s all.

Lily: Okay, that’s not really an answer. What really happened? Hi, my name is tony cooper, and I’m going to tell you about exciting medicare advantage plans that can provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. With original medicare you are covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits but you have to meet a deductible for each, and then you’re still responsible for 20% of the cost. Next, let’s look at a medicare supplement plan. As you can see, they cover the same things as original medicare, and they also cover your medicare deductibles and coinsurance. But they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. Now, let’s take a look at humana’s medicare advantage plans. With a humana medicare advantage plan, hospitals stays, doctor office visits and your original medicare deductibles are covered. And, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. With no copays or deductibles on tier 1 prescriptions, and zero dollars for routine vaccines, including shingles, at in-network retail pharmacies. In fact, in 2021, humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $9,600 on average on their prescription costs. Most humana medicare advantage plans have coverage for vision and hearing. And dental coverage that includes two free cleanings a year, plus dentures, crowns, fillings and more! Most humana medicare advantage plans include a silver sneakers fitness program at no extra cost. You get all of this for as low as a zero-dollar monthly plan premium in many areas; and your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana’s large network. There is no obligation, so call the number on your screen right now to see if your doctor is in our network; to find out if you could save on your prescriptions, and to get our free decision guide. Humana, a more human way to healthcare.

Find nutrients.

Find energy.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Devon: Look, amanda has made her choice. Her family is in virginia, and they need her there. So, I’m not gonna stand in her way. I need to accept it.

Lily: [ Sighs ] Look, I know that you wanted to be there for her during this time. So, just go to virginia. It’s fine. You can oversee your divisions from there.

Devon: I’m not gonna go to virginia.

Lily: Well, look, it is less-than-ideal timing. But it’s okay, alright? We’ll figure it out. I don’t want work to be the cause of friction in your relationship.

Devon: It won’t be. I promise. I belong right here. Amanda belongs in virginia with her family. I’m not gonna even consider relocating. If anything, I need to wrap my head around the fact that it might be time for us to part ways.

Lily: Part ways?

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: [ Sighs ] Okay. Clearly something is going on. Look, I get it, that you don’t want to tell me right now, and that’s okay. But when you’re ready, I’m here. Okay?

Tucker: Ash, uh, it’s me. Hoping we can get together soon. I’m curious to know if you used the information I gave you and, if so, how it went.

[ Pounding on door ]

Diane: Let me in, tucker!

Tucker: Actually, I think I’m about to get my answer.

[ Pounding on door ]

Diane: And don’t try hiding in the bathroom. I know that trick.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] Ah, how do you do, di– oh! You seem irritated. Would you like something to eat?

Diane: Just cut the crap. I know that you’re the one feeding ashley information about jeremy stark. What? What? Is this revenge for me telling jack that I knew you in L.A.? For not getting you jabot’s financial information? Are you really that vindictive and cruel?

Devon: Chance is a fool to not put you and dominic first ’cause for you, for both of you, I would move heaven and earth. Christmas trees try so hard.

Devon: [ Sighs ] I’m sure you don’t want to hear anything I have to say ’cause I imagine whatever it is, it’s just gonna sound insulting to you.

Chance: You’re right.

Devon: Chance, the only thing I need you to know is that it wasn’t planned. We never talked about it. We never — we never even got close to doing anything like that before.

Chance: She told me.

Devon: That’s good ’cause it’s the truth. It was just a moment in time.

Chance: I disagree. I think it’s something that’s been there under the surface for a long time. Probably started before I got back from spain. But you know what, man? None of that matters now. Actions are actions, planned or not. Betrayal and infidelity — those don’t just happen. See, you and abby both had a choice to continue what you were doing or to stop. Now you’re gonna have to live with that choice.

Devon: That’s right. You’re right. And I know I don’T… I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness ’cause I know exactly how you’re feeling, probably a little better than you imagine. And my only hope is that you and I can live with this mistake without it affecting dominic’s life just ’cause we’re both fathers to him.

Chance: Don’t bring that up right now.

Devon: I’m sorry. Regardless, though, of how you feel about me, I’m hoping you can find it yourself to forgive abby and move forward with her.

Chance: Whatever we decide is none of your damn business.

Phyllis: Well, there she was, the real diane. She was in there all along, just waiting to reveal herself. I’m sure it was a relief to her, getting the claws out.

Ashley: Yeah. It must be exhausting hiding your true self under all that smarmy niceness.

Phyllis: So boring, pretending to be a do-gooder.

Ashley: Well, that’s something you’ll never have to worry about, right?

Phyllis: True, true.

Nikki: You know, despite all of her bravado, I think she is sweating bullets. I mean, clearly the thought of jeremy stark coming after her is terrifying to her.

Ashley: Uh-huh. She’s close to the breaking point.

Phyllis: Yeah, definitely.

Ashley: Right?

Phyllis: We have to keep on applying pressure and find out what else tucker knows.

Nikki: And if we can really trust him because even though i think diane is bluffing, we need to make sure that we don’t fall into one of tucker’s traps.

Tucker: Oh, diane. Frankly, I just — I don’t care what happens to you.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Tucker: And I find it hypocritical that you think i should, given that you’re the one who reneged on your part of our agreement.

Diane: I didn’t have access to jabot’s information.

Tucker: I don’t buy that excuse.

Diane: Ugh!

Tucker: You’re protecting kyle and jack, plain and simple.

Diane: You know, you and i need to work something out because you don’t want to cross me.

Tucker: If you’re upset that I passed on some disparaging information, it’s probably because the information is disparaging. I just reported the facts. It’s neither here nor there. The — the main priority of my life right now is to make ashley happy. And the one thing that seems to make that possible is you going away.

Diane: Oh. Do you know how your darling ashley wants to get me to leave? By threatening to make jeremy stark think I turned him in. Do you know what kind of danger that puts me and my family in?

Tucker: I know. I would be nervous, too. That’s why I think you ought to disappear. I — I’m — go off the grid. I think you’d be relieved to just vanish.

Diane: No. You have all underestimated me. The more you push, the more determined I am to fight to hold on to my family. So don’t count on me going anywhere.

[ Door slams ]

Tucker: [ Sighs ]

[ Exhales heavily ]

Tucker: Hey, ash. Me again. Hoping to see you soon. Today has turned out to be loads of fun.

[ Chuckles ] Diane is so entertaining when she’s riled up. Uh, I did whatever I could to egg her on. I hope that you and your cohorts get everything you want. Uh, counting on her to be as predictable as ever.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

Ashley: Okay. I just got a voicemail from tucker. I need to go see him. Apparently, when she left here, diane went straight to confront him.

Phyllis: Of course she did. Alright, so, you need to do more of whatever it is you do that he finds attractive to get information out of tucker, okay?

Ashley: That’s not very nice, is it, phyllis?

Phyllis: Well, I’m not nice. Anyway…

[ Cellphone pings ] Alright. So, we need to know how to get in touch with jeremy stark so we can make good on these threats toward diane.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

[ Sniffles ]

[ Cries ]

[ Sniffles ]

[ Exhales heavily ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: Yes. If you can guarantee those numbers, that would be great. We can pick some times and dates for– yes. Yes. We’ll be chatting soon.

Ridge: [ Whispering ] Get off the phone.

Steffy: Okay. All right. Thanks. Bye bye. What in the world’s going on? Why are you acting so strange?

Taylor: Are you ready?

Steffy: Ready for what?

[ Taylor laughing ] Yes. Yes. I’m– yes.

Taylor: Are– are you– are you really ready?

Steffy: I– I’m really, really ready. What’s going on? What?

[ Steffy gasping ] Oh, my gosh! Oh my god. Dad, you proposed?

Ridge: And surprisingly, your mother said yes.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Mom. Let me see. Let me see.

[ Steffy gasping ] Oh, my goodness. Congratulations. Oh, I’m so happy for you.

Taylor: Yes. Your father and I are getting married.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Steffy: Oh!

Thomas: All right. Here’s what I’m thinking. You don’t have any school today, right? So I think you should come to work with me and maybe help me out with some designs. What do you say?

Douglas: Whatever.

Thomas: Whatever? Come on. What kind of answer is that? I want some enthusiasm here. Forrester creations is your birthright, after all. And it’s never too early to start learning about the company. You’re not gonna sit around and sulk all day, are you?

Douglas: I’m sorry, dad. But I just can’t stop thinking about what you did to grandma brooke. That was wrong.

Katie: So, thomas just showed up?

Brooke: At first, I thought he was looking for hope, but really he was here to throw ridge and taylor in my face. You should have heard him.

Katie: That’s so weird. I mean, lately, he seems like he’s been a little more subtle than that.

Brooke: Well, the mask slipped, if only for a second, and then he went into poor, misunderstood thomas mode. But I see him clearly. I know who he is, and I don’t trust him. Not for a second. And it always seems like he’s hiding something.

Katie: I know how you feel about thomas, and I don’t blame you, but the stance that you’ve taken has definitely put a strain on your relationship with ridge.

Brooke: I’m not sure how much of a relationship we have left, considering we both signed annulment papers, and I’m not even sure why.

Steffy: Oh, my gosh. I wanted this for so long. I– I can’t believe this is real.

Ridge: Well, I believe it. Your mom and I are getting married again.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Steffy: Okay. I have to see this again.

Taylor: I know. It’s beautiful, isn’t it?

Steffy: Dad, you did good.

Ridge: I have my moments.

Steffy: This moment is great. Dad, you finally did it.

Eric: Did what? All right. What have you done now, ridge?

Steffy: Dad proposed to mom, and mom said yes.

Thomas: Look, bud. I– I don’t expect you to fully understand. Like you’re just a little boy and this is a complicated adult situation.

Douglas: No, it’s not, dad. You pretended to be grandma brooke on my voice app. You called child protective services on yourself to break up her marriage with granddad. That was wrong.

Restless nights fogging up

your day?

Brooke: I’ve been asking ridge over and over again, why are you ending our marriage?

Katie: And what does he say?

Brooke: He’s just been very vague.

Katie: That’s so weird. Ridge has always been so direct.

Brooke: He keeps saying that he’s committed to taylor now, and what do I think happened? But I just kept pressing him. I told him, I don’t think he really wants to end our life together.

Katie: How did he respond to that?

Brooke: He said he doesn’t want any of this.

Katie: Oh.

Brooke: So, I told him we need to communicate. And he said it’s not that simple.

Katie: He’s the one making it difficult by not telling you why he left.

Brooke: God, I know. Exactly. And I asked him is it bill or is it deacon? And he said no.

Katie: Did you believe him?

Brooke: Oh, yeah. I did. But then he implied that it had something to do with his son. That’s why I don’t trust thomas. He always wanted ridge and me to break up and for his parents to be together. And now that ridge and i signed annulment papers, I’m afraid that might be happening.

Donna: You two are engaged? What about brooke? Didn’t– didn’t you two just–

Eric: Yeah, um. What about brooke? Wow. Well, congratulations.

[ Taylor chuckling ] You know your own mind, ridge. You know what you need to be happy. And apparently, that’s taylor. So, congratulations. Both of you.

Ridge: Thank you, dad.

Taylor: Hey, this is as much of a shock to me as it is to you. Okay? I– I know you have always been so supportive of ridge and brooke. I know how much you love her. This has gotta be very hard for you. I understand.

Steffy: About time.

Thomas: Hey. Hey, granddad. What did I miss?

Steffy: You have no idea. Hey, douglas.

Ridge: Shouldn’t you be in school?

Douglas: It’s a free day.

Ridge: Oh, nice.

Thomas: Yeah. Well, I thought, what– what better way to spend this free day than shadowing his dad.

Ridge: Never too early to start.

Taylor: Yeah. That is an excellent idea.

Thomas: That’s what I said. You look like you’re about to burst. What’s up?

Steffy: No, no, no, no. I’m– no, it– it’s– it’s really good news. You’re gonna– you’re gonna– you’re gonna love it. And I’m glad that you’re here too. Mom, just– just show them.

Taylor: Okay. Okay.

Thomas: Shut the front door. You’re engaged?

Taylor: Yes. Yes.

Thomas: That’s amazing. Wow.

Steffy: I know, right?

Thomas: This is incredible.

Steffy: Really is.

Thomas: Golly. Well, you have no idea how much steffy and i wanted this.

Ridge: I think we have an idea.

Thomas: Okay. Maybe– maybe we were a little– a little over the top.

Steffy: We knew how much you needed to be together.

Thomas: Yeah, we did.

Steffy: So how do you feel, douglas?

Douglas: It’s cool, I guess.

Taylor: Hey. What do you mean, you guess?

Douglas: Well, it’s just I kind of feel bad for grandma brooke.

Thomas: Yeah. You know, that’s just ’cause he’s such a loving and empathetic kid. But– but right now, we should probably focus on grandma taylor and your granddad and how happy they are. Finally, now that they’re together, my dad has opened his eyes and seen what was right in front of him all along.

Steffy: This is a fabulous day for our family.

Thomas: Yeah. It really is.

Steffy: Aren’t you happy for your grandparents, douglas? If you’re on medicare,

Ridge: Is donna okay?

Eric: Donna is okay. Yeah. She’s– she’s worried about her sister. She got over there to soften the blow.

Ridge: Well, brooke is lucky to have her full support.

Taylor: Yeah. Yes, she is.

Steffy: Hey, douglas. You never answered me. Are you happy for your grandparents getting married?

Thomas: Of course he is. Come on. Douglas is a forrester, right? And this is what’s best for the future of our family. Hey, bud. You wanna check out some of my new designs? Let’s go do that.

Steffy: Mom, you are gonna be such a beautiful bride. Did you figure out a dress or like, what are we gonna do with your hair?

Taylor: You know– did you know that your father actually made the dress?

Steffy: What?

Ridge: You’re awfully quiet.

Eric: Yeah. Well, honestly, it’s kind of hard to know what to say. I want you to be happy, you know that. And only you can decide what makes you happy or who. I adore taylor. She’s been a part of this family for a long time, so. It’s just that, hell, I don’t know.

Ridge: No, I know. I know what you’re getting at, dad. You thought brooke was gonna be my happily ever after. I thought that too for a long time. Just didn’t work out that way. But I really hope you can support my life with taylor.

Eric: I will, but I reserve the right to be concerned about brooke.

Ridge: Fair enough. Love you.

Eric: Love you too.

Steffy: So, when are you planning on having this wedding? I mean, you should do it tomorrow.

Taylor: Really?

Steffy: Are you for real? Really?

Ridge: No one’s getting any younger.

Steffy: Oh, my goodness. Are you kidding?

Taylor: No, no. I was thinking it was because we didn’t wanna waste time, but you’re right.

Steffy: No. I– I– I get it. Hey, if you need help with anything, I’m here.

Taylor: You know what? I do need help with something. My beautiful daughter who I love so much. You know how much I admire you and how much I love the way that you live your life and– and who you are. And it would just mean everything in the world to me if you would stand by me on my wedding day, the very last time that I am marrying your father and be my matron of honor.

Steffy: Oh my– of course, mom.

Taylor: Yeah?

Steffy: Of course.

Taylor: I love you.

Steffy: I love you. I love you. Thank you.

Katie: I’m so sorry. I hate that you’re going through this.

Brooke: Me too. But it doesn’t mean that I’m giving up on ridge and myself.

Katie: You signed the papers.

Brooke: Yeah, I did. I just think that ridge needed me to do that at that moment. But how can I give up on him, katie? I love him. He truly is the love of my life. Ridge would always say that it just takes one of us to keep on believing and the other one will catch up. And this time, it has to be me.

Katie: Well, I admire your determination, your conviction.

Brooke: Well, I’m not gonna lose my husband to taylor. I’m not. I mean, I think somehow, we’ll be able to get through this and– and we can be together.

Katie: Well, I’ve learned to never count you and ridge out.

Donna: Oh, hi.

Brooke: Donna. Are you okay? What’s going on?

Donna: Ah, look, something happened and I– I wanted you to hear it from me first. I, um… I just left forrester.

Brooke: Donna, please don’t tell me–

Donna: I’m so sorry to have to tell you this, but um, ridge and taylor, they just announced their engagement.

[ Brooke scoffing ]

Brooke: Ridge and taylor engaged.

Donna: I’m so sorry to have to tell you this, brooke.

Brooke: I don’t understand. I mean, I just signed annulment papers. That means he had every intention of asking taylor to marry him.

Katie: I don’t think that’s necessarily true. I’m sure once the annulment was in the works, the three-way pressure notched up to a new level.

Brooke: Well, they got everything they wanted right? Steffy, thomas, and taylor.

Katie: They are not married yet.

Brooke: I just thought I might have some time. You know, I was just telling katie that ridge and I still have a chance together.

Katie: Yeah, you do.

Donna: Yeah. I– I agree. I– I mean, you can’t let steffy and thomas manipulate ridge out of your life and into taylor’s life because they have this– this fantasy of this family that only exists in their minds.

Katie: Listen. Listen to me. Ridge has feelings for taylor, I’m not gonna deny that. But he does not love her the way he loves you. Something drove a wedge between you and ridge, but you have overcome so much, so many obstacles, you’re gonna get through this too, okay? You said that ridge is the love of your life. You’re the love of his life. That’s worth fighting for. Don’t give up faith.

Brooke: How can I not give up faith when he asked taylor to marry him? How could he do that? I– I don’t even understand what happened. Why– why is this even happening to us? I– I don’t get it.

Katie: I’m sorry.

[ Taylor chuckling ]

Taylor: Hey, how is he doing? I know this was such a big shock for him. You know, I just– I wish that he could have been just a– a little more excited for us.

Steffy: You know– you know how much grandpa loves you.

Taylor: I do. I do. But I also know that, you know, when it comes to you, he’s always been team brooke. And I understand that, but.

Thomas: Yeah, you know what? Granddad has always had a little bit of a soft spot for brooke. But now the dynamic has changed, you know, and dad has finally realized that the woman that would always be truthful to him and be faithful to him is you, mom.

Ridge: No, I realize it. I know you’ll always be honest with me. Lucky man. Um, there is something I want to say to my son. I’m gonna– want your help with something.

Thomas: Okay? Can I make you a better suit ’cause this one’s a little bland?

[ Steffy and taylor laughing ]

Ridge: No, the suit’s fine.

Thomas: Yeah?

Ridge: What I want from you is something a little more personal.

Thomas: Okay.

Ridge: I thought maybe we could make this a family affair and you could be my best man.

Thomas: Really? Yes. I mean, I– thank you for wanting me.

[ Steffy and taylor laughing ]

Taylor: Yay! You know, you guys deserve a place at the altar for all the energy and effort that you have put into this.

Thomas: You have no idea how much energy and effort.

Steffy: Hey, we can do it all again if it led us right back here.

Thomas: It’s true.

Taylor: Am I dreaming? Am I? Somebody pinch me?

Thomas: Oh.

Taylor: I’m not dreaming. You know what? Dreams really do come true. Look at us. Our family is back together. You know what the best part is? Douglas. Douglas gets to be a part of it now.

Thomas: Yes. I actually think that that is incredible because– because douglas can actually see what true love, what real love actually looks like.

Taylor: You know, I love you guys so much. I love you so much and I can’t wait to be your wife again.

Ridge: No?

Taylor: No.

Steffy: Forever this time.

Taylor: Forever.

Ridge: Okay.

Thomas: Hey. Look over there. You see your grandma and your granddad? See how happy they are to be together? And your aunt steffy. She’s happy too. She really wants her parents together. This is a good thing. It’s the right thing for our family and for our future. Okay? So, you can’t say anything about that app, all right? Not a word.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 how you doing? Yeah, good. How was the flight? No problem. Smooth weather. Easy check in. I’m a little hungry, though. Lunch is on me.

[ Laughs ] Yes. How’s montreal? Oh, yeah, we made some progress on that front. Plus, I got a few options to discuss with you. Yeah, before we talk, I want you to meet some someone. Hello, gentlemen. Brick, this is… the woman who stole your heart. Leo, hey. What do you got there? Just my leaf collection. Oh. I’ll go. No, wait. You don’t have to go on my account. What’s the hurry? Hey. Is something bothering you? Everyone’s mad. Everyone? I’m not mad. Yes, you are. You and michael are mad at dad. Are you mad at me, too? Still at it? Yeah. How was your nap? It was good. The baby and I must have really needed the downtime. Maybe you do, too. Ahh, later. Look, I’ve been filling myself in on bone marrow donations, and the family’s already registered because of our history with cancer, but most people don’t realize how easy it is. Look, I say that we partner with gh and organize a donor drive, you know, and provide tests and get as many people to register as possible, hit up social media sites and advertise in places like kelly’s and charlie’s and other hot spots around town. Michael, that all sounds — sounds wonderful. Thank you. Yeah, of course. Look, we’re in this together. I am so sorry that I kept my leukemia diagnosis from you. No, no, no, wait. It’s fine. It’s fine. Hey, it’s okay. It’s in the past. We’re focusing on the future now, okay? A future with you is all that I want. And I’m going to make sure it is a happy and healthy one. Do not

movefrom this bed. Joss — I owe you. Big time. And I plan to collect.

[ Sighs ] Josslyn. Oh, my god. I have been calling you and calling you and you haven’t answered! What the hell’s going on? Um…

[ Sighs ] Actually…

[ Keys jingle ] Come on. Come on. Quick, quick. We need your help.

[ Groans ]

[ Door creaks open ]

[ Sighs ] Creepy, drafty old place. Probably haunted on top of that. Hear my voice, o spirits.

[ Door closes ] Scare the crap out of nikolas. He deserves it. I don’T. No, what we need, ace… …is some

advice fromyour grandpa. Jeff: Excuse me. I’m looking for nurse elizabeth baldwin? Oh, I’ll see if she’s working today. Who may I say is asking for her? Her father. Finn: Jeff webber. Oh, you’ll have to excuse me. Have we met? No. You don’t know me. You knew my wife. You slept with her. Elizabeth, come in. Are you alright? Why do you ask? I heard you were attacked at the pier last night, that you were taken to gh. I’m relieved to see that you weren’t badly injured, but should you really be up and about? Well, thankfully, it was just a little bump on the head. But you already knew that. I did? Well, you must have. Would you have just left me laying there on the pier if you thought I was badly hurt? You need to who is that? Hey, it’s okay. Just rest. Just rest. What happened to him? Joss, don’T. Please. He got shot. I found him last night on the quartermaine grounds. I couldn’t take him to a hospital, mom. They’d just report it to the police. Right. We can’t have that, can we, dex? You got shot working for sonny, right? I’m so happy to meet you, brick. I’ve heard so much about you. Thank you.Why don’t you join us? No, no, no. I don’t want to intrude. Not at all. Not at all. Okay, well, I have to warn you, I may be called away on hotel business. Oh, that’s right. You’re the new co-owner of the metro court. Congratulations. And you know she’s also editor of crimson magazine. What? How do you find the time? Well, I’m working on that. You know, I know the ins and outs of the fashion industry, but I’m still learning the ins and outs of the hospitality business. So you and sonny go way back? Yes.Yeah, we have been through quite a lot together. Oh, any stories you can tell me? Well, actually, there was that time in houston… you don’t want to get into that — oh, I want to hear this. Excuse me, ms. Reeves. The chef is ready to talk about the new tasting menu. Oh, thank you, trish. Okay, this won’t take long, and then I want to hear this houston story, okay?

[ Laughing ] What? She’s stunning. You look happy. Yeah, she makes me happy. Glad to hear it. But I’m guessing that doesn’t go over too well with michael. Well, you know, whenever michael and nina cross paths, it’s trouble, and I just think it’s gonna get worse. Organizing a bone marrow drive is inevitably going to lead to some questions, and I know you want to keep your diagnosis private. Look… I know I can’t keep this a secret forever. I just — I want to be me, willow, and not willow, the woman with cancer, for as long as possible. If you’re worried about people pitying you, don’t be, okay? The people who love you will support you and recognize your courage and strength. Well, they’ll still look at me differently. Admit it, when you find out someone has cancer, that’s the first thing you think about when you see them. You focus on the illness. Maybe if I — if I don’t know them. Look, I’m sure that the people who do know you, they’re going to continue to admire and delight in the things that make you you. I am just allergic to the idea of people feeling sorry for me. Yeah, I know. That’s because you’re independent and you are so used to doing things all by yourself. And that’s probably because, you know, growing up, you couldn’t always rely on your parents, so you felt you had to handle everything on your own. You’re right. I-I had no idea how deeply that feeling has been ingrained in me. Willow, you are not going to be alone ever again, okay? You, me, wiley, and the baby, we are a family, and that is not going to change, ever. I hope not. I’m gonna make sure of it. Your wife? Oh, I think you’d remember reiko. You were on saipan with her. I know, I — I just wasn’t expecting to see you. It’s a nasty business, isn’t it? Affairs. Finding out your wife cheated on you with some jerk who abandons his kids. You don’t know everything. Is there someplace we can go to talk?

[ Groans ] I got nothing to say to you. I know you were on that pier, and don’t act like I’m imagining it. I’ve had enough people mess with my head. I don’t need you gaslighting me, too. I won’t, elizabeth. I just didn’t know if you’d remember. Well, I did. I actually was on my way to see you when I ran into esme prince. I tried to call 911. She went for my phone. I must have fallen and hit my head, and the next thing I know, you’re standing over me, telling me to trust you. And then you were gone. You just left me there. Why would you do that to me? I went after esme. I didn’t want her to get away. But she did get away, because jordan said they’re still looking for her. I lost her. So you just decided to go home? Why didn’t you come back to see if I was okay? I-I heard sirens and I figured the police were on their way. We had made eye contact, so I didn’t think you were badly hurt. Unh-unh. That’s not it. You know something. Where is esme? To be perfectly honest, ace, I’m a little afraid of your grandfather. Okay, maybe more than a little. I’ve done my research, and he’s a dangerous man, and unpredictable. But… he’s the only father I’ve got, and he needs me. He may think he’s the most brilliant serial killer ever, but he’s currently in spring ridge pretending to be a vegetable. Not that my situation is much of an improvement over his. He’d be so disappointed in me. You know, he’d have some strategy that I’ve overlooked, some way to turn the tables on nikolas. So instead of asking, how do I get out, I should be asking… …what would daddy do?


Mad at you. And I am certainly not mad at you. We’re buds. But you’re mad at my dad. Well, I’m not going to lie to you. We have a disagreement. But, hey, families argue from time to time. You’ve been arguing a long time. I don’t want my dad to go away like he did when mom and dad were mad at each other. Oh, yeah, yeah. I hear you. You don’t have anything to worry about. You really don’T. And plus, your mom and dad made up, didn’t they? Yeah, they even got married again. You see, that’s the cool thing about family. They argue, and then they make up and they still love each other. That is cool. Can you and michael make up with my dad? Carly: You’re burning up. I’ll be fine. Yeah. What were you doing at the quartermaines’? I was looking for… for a good place to hide out. Like the boathouse. That’s when I ran into joss. He was in bad shape. I couldn’t just leave him there to bleed. You could have called the police. Or you could have called sonny. Mom, hospitals have to report gun wounds. You know that. And I know that sonny was probably the reason that he got shot in the first place. Since you have a fever, that most likely means you have an infection. Can I take a look?

[ Dex groans ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Breathing unsteadily ] Yep, it’s infected. He’s going to need antibiotics. Well, I-I was just going to get some. Really? And where were you going to get them, josslyn? I don’t know. I was figuring that out. Now you don’t have to. So you’ll help us?

[ Sighs ] I tested it myself. I could barely taste the cauliflower. Oh, cauliflower in a smoothie. Yeah. Well, I mean, vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, they’re good for inflammation and high in folate, so it’s good for you and the baby. Well, someone has been googling “cancer diets.”

[ Both chuckle ] Well? Uh, not — not bad. Okay. Could you taste the cauliflower? No, no. The banana pretty much covers it. Thank you. Thank you so much.

[ Sighs ] You know… I have been thinking about the idea of tracking down my biological family. Even if I find them, and that’s a major if, how do I just show up out of the blue and ask for a bone marrow transplant? Well, what would you do if the situation was reversed? I’d help if I could. Okay. Well, there’s your answer. Look, there are a lot of good people out there who want to do the right thing, just like you, willow. I guess I’m jaded. People like nina make it hard to remember. I convinced cortez that the price of challenging you in montreal is way too high. He’s agreed to move on. Well, you have saved me considerable aggravation, and I’ve had more than enough these days. How’s business here? Uh, stable at the moment. What about dex heller? The guy I ran a check on. You cut him loose yet? No, I’m gonna keep him around. I might even give him a promotion at some point. Really? He came through for me at some very crucial moments, and he was loyal, kept his mouth shut. Except the last job went a little south, but… would that happen to be the prison transport that crashed? Dang, you’re on top of things. Always. Good. Yeah. Anna got out. Dex is in the wind. Correct. Yeah, I’m reporting myself for a violation of conduct. Yeah, please send over the form, and I’ll fill it out and return it to you. Thank you.

[ Receiver clicks ] What do you want? I’m worried about lizzy. Is she alright? I just flew in this morning. I need to know — is my daughter okay? Now you care? You don’t understand what happened. I understand that you had an affair with my wife, who I thought was happy in our marriage. She was, at first. But reiko got lonely. She was on saipan while you were on rota. I mean, it was her first posting. Reiko sometimes got overwhelmed with the suffering we saw. She needed someone to talk to. And you were there. Don’t worry about esme. I took care of her. Did you kill her? God, no. I can’T. Can’t? Won’T.

[ Sighs ] You have to trust me. If you want me to trust you, then you’re going to have to trust me. Now, tell me, nikolas, what did you do? I took matters into my own hands. Like when you had hayden shot? I haven’t hurt esme. She’s fine. Sounds to me like you know where she is. Do you? Alright. I’ve had enough. I’m just gonna call the police and see what they have to say. Come on, don’T. Why? What are you going to do? You’re going to make me disappear too? It’d be real easy. No one knows I’m here. Do you really think that I’d harm you? You’re my touchstone, elizabeth — the one true friend in my life. Then, nikolas, just tell me, where’s esme? She’s here. I made sure she can’t hurt anyone else. That’s what prisons are for! Esme can’t go to prison. But… I won’t let her escape, okay? And she’ll pay for everything she’s done, eventually. I swear on our friendship. Can’t you just leave it alone? No, I can’T. I want to see her right now.


[ Door opens ]

[ Sighs ] Go away. I’m on a hunger strike. Elizabeth: Esme? Are you pregnant? Please, you have to help me. Nikolas is crazy! He wants to kill me and my baby! I got word from dex via email. Hmm. He’s laying low, but he’s gonna contact me as soon as he can. Okay — we’ll talk about it later. Hi, sorry about that. Okay. What are you doing? Where were we? Oh, I remember. Houston. Oh, no, no. We’re done with houston. We don’t — are we? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I don’t think so. Listen, nina, we were at a game, in one of these private boxes —

[ Cellphone rings ] Mm-hmm. Excuse me. I’m sorry. Problem? Probably not, but I should take this. Excuse me, y’all. Of course. Excuse me. Well, you were saved by the bell, literally. You know, I am gonna hear this houston story sooner or later. No, no, no.

[ Chuckles ] Carly, this is a surprise. Hopefully a good one. A dream come true, actually. You may not feel that way after you hear my request. Do you have a contact in town? Me. I’m right here at the metro court.

What’s up? You’re here? Excellent. I need a huge favor. Anything for you.

[ Sighs ] Since a bone marrow transplant is my best option and a relative is my best match, let’s do it. Let’s track down my biological family. Okay. Let’s get started right now. Remember when you said I can’t really believe anything harmony said about my birth or my birth parents? I agree. But there is one thing I know for sure. Harmony was a member of the friends for peace and love commune when I was a baby. We should start there. Okay. Brick: Hey, hey, y’all. I’m sorry, folks. I got to cut this short. What? Oh. Well, I hope you’re in town long enough for us to take you out to dinner. I look forward to it, especially continuing that story. He ain’t getting off that easy. Trust me on that. Alright. Okay. Talk to you later. Bye-bye. Brick, he’s a charmer. He has a reputation. He’s a good guy, and one of the very few people I trust with my life. Yeah. What is going on with the chef? Well, we have reached a new understanding. I promise never to mention asian fusion again, and she promises not to throw any more sauce pans. Plus, I got a stylist to give her a deal on her wedding dress. Ah, a little bribery never hurts. Well, you seem a lot more relaxed than you did last night. I knew something was bothering you. Things are looking up today. Good. Yeah. I’m glad. Um… so last night, I didn’t want to worry you… what is on your mind? More of the same. Mm-hmm. I had another run-in with michael and willow. So it’s that old story, huh? Sleazy mentor takes advantage of the young doctor just out of med school? If that makes you feel better. None of this makes me feel better, jeff! I’m just trying to get the truth. The truth is, reiko and i never meant to hurt anyone. Right, just… you couldn’t help yourself. Something like that. I understand you’re a cheater. Hayden’s proof of that. But, reiko, she wasn’t like that. I-I don’t know what you want me to say. What would make you feel better?

[ Chuckles ] You’re looking for a quick fix? Gee, it’s too bad you can’t wipe out my memory, shut me up the way you and your wife shut elizabeth up. Nikolas: Stay back, esme. No, wait — leave elizabeth alone! Thank god you found me. He won’t listen to reason! Well, you weren’t reasonable when you attacked me on the docks. Or did you forget that little detail? I’m so sorry. That was a big misunderstanding. I-I thought that you might be working with nikolas, that you were calling him. I was running for my life! Yeah, right. Okay, you’ve seen that she’s fine. She has a comfortable bed, food. She’s trapped in here? She tried to escape off that terrace. I had to make sure she doesn’t put the baby in danger again. How long has she been in here? He’s had me in here for weeks! Ava and nikolas tried to kill me, and when that didn’t work, then he locked me up in here. Elizabeth, listen to me. I had to lock her up. Esme is the one who’s been attacking people with a hook. She killed brando and that bartender. She attacked ava, diane miller, and she even tried to attack me. I did not. He’s lying. Elizabeth, you have to believe me.


the last thing that willowsaid was “drop dead.” And all I was trying to do, sonny, was apologize. Nina, why can’t you just leave it alone? I don’t know, I’m just — no, I’m asking you. I’m just trying to get them to understand that I’m not a bad person for wiley’s sake. And she is so cold. I don’t know what’s going on with her. Can we just go with the original plan, which was to stay clear of michael and willow? Yeah. Yes. Okay. I’m sorry that you can’t see wiley either. I don’t like it, but it’s not forever. You don’t really believe that, do you? I understand you’re angry about reiko. What happened with reiko was years ago. What you did to elizabeth is unforgivable. Carolyn and I did what we thought was best for our daughter. Great job, dad. But you and your wife’s little brainwashing trick didn’t stick. Elizabeth has been dealing with this for months. She was sleepwalking. She could have hurt people. She could have hurt herself. That’s exactly what we were afraid of 25 years ago! Lizzie was just 15. She couldn’t cope with what happened to reiko. So what, you make your daughter forget, and then you ship her off to be someone else’s problem? That’s not how it was! That’s exactly how it was! That’s exactly how it was. Elizabeth thought she was delusional, did you know that? She was going out of her mind trying to figure out what was wrong with her because of what you did and your wife did! She’s the one who’s suffered through this. These are printouts of articles about the commune from around the time you were born. Any luck online? Not yet. Okay, well, look, hopefully we can use these to compile a list of members who were there when you were born.

[ Knock on door ] Well, hello there. Hey, hey. Maybe he’s not mad at me. You thought I was mad at you? At my dad, too. Willow! Want to see the leaves I collected? I sure do. Wow, these are amazing. Leo, um, sensed the tension between us and ned. He was worried because we were angry at each other, but I reassured him and told him that families argue sometimes and it’s all good. Well, it seemed like it worked. Yeah. But the kid’s right. We’ve been at odds with ned for months, and we got to fix that. Brick. [ Chuckles ] He’s the right guy to know. Yeah, well, we’re lucky he’s in town. He’s going to text me when he has the meds, and I’m gonna go meet him. Okay, he didn’t ask why you needed them? He’s not one to ask questions. Okay, yeah, he’s probably done this a million times for sonny. What was dex doing when he got shot? He wouldn’t tell me. And last night, when you told me you were with friends, it was a lie, right? Yes. I lied. But, mom —

[ Scoffs ] I mean, it’s not like we tell each other everything. I don’t know that you were dating drew. What? Yeah, I saw you. What does that have to do with anything? I saw the two of you guys kissing. Josslyn, listen to me. Me seeing drew and you being in danger, they are two totally different things, okay? Yes, I am seeing drew, but we have to keep it quiet, and we’re not going to get into that right now, because we have bigger things going on. Okay. Okay. That’s fine. Thank you for calling brick, and thank you for understanding everything — okay, listen to me. I’m not here to visit, alright? I’m here because I’m worried about esme. What about esme? Esme is in town, and she attacked elizabeth last night. Cam’s mom. Is she okay? Yes, she’s okay. But esme got away, and no one knows where she is. I’m sure y ou could use a drink.I know I can. Was she lying? Yes. The first thing esme did after she escaped was come after me with a hook from the boathouse. She’s been in town for weeks. And look at her victims — I mean, esme despised ava. I don’t know why she went after brando. Maybe he was in the wrong place at the wrong time? That’s what the police think. They think that josslyn was the target that night. That fits. Esme hates trina and josslyn, and diane and that bartender ruined her plot to frame trina. Do you really think she’s a serial killer? Yes. All the more reason, then, to call the police. She can’t go to prison. She’s pregnant.

[ Sighs ] Right, with your grandchild. Does spencer even know? What? The baby isn’t spencer’S. Oh, jeez. Okay. Who’s the father? Oh, no, you — you didn’T. I know. It was a huge mistake. You slept with your son’s girlfriend?!

[ Cellphone chimes ] Nikolas! Elizabeth, please. What — what are you doing? I have to go. What are you gonna do? I don’t know. Elizabeth? Elizabeth, listen to me. Hey, hey. Wait, wait! Let me go. I’m sorry. Elizabeth, please. Let me — let me explain. Elizabeth!


I can’t believe she just walked away. She’s supposed to — to help people. I’m not sure if nurses take, like, the hippocratic oath, but they have to take some sort of oath, right? You know, to promise to care for those in need? For elizabeth, I guess that only applies to people she likes or approves of. But for me, it’s fine to leave me captive.

[ Groans loudly ]

[ Sighs ] If only I had some leverage. Leverage… that’s you, ace. I just have to convince nikolas that if he doesn’t treat me right… fist bumps. See you. See you. Glad you stopped by, bud. Friends of peace and love? Leo: Bye! Wow. Oh, that’s — something that I’m — I was working on. Oh. It’s — it’s a commune. I was there as a child. Oh. Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to pry. Oh, no, no, you’re not — you’re not prying. You’re family. I’m — I’m just trying to locate my birth parents and see if I have more family out there. Oh. I’ve been there. Good luck to you. Thanks. I’ll need it. I don’t have much to go on besides harmony’s version of what happened. I was the last person in the room with harmony before she died. Okay. She told me that nina is willow’s birth mother. I heard from the lab. And? Nina’s not willow’s mother. Yeah, harmony really was A…convincing liar. I didn’t realize you knew her.

[ Mutters ] Joss? Hey, I’m here. Um, you need to hydrate. Can you have some of this water? I had this wild dream that your mother was here. That wasn’t a dream. She was here. She’s going to get you some antibiotics. Why? Why? Because your wound is infected. No, why would she help me? Because I asked her to. She’s okay with you helping me? I doubt it. But she’s not gonna give me some big lecture about it now, not while you’re spiking a fever, alright? Besides, she’s in no position to judge. Why not? You’re not the first person to get shot working for sonny. My mom took her chances. Now I’m gonna take mine. Why even bother? You think I’m an idiot to work for sonny.

[ Chuckles softly ] You are an idiot. And now you need to lie back down. You need to rest, okay? Thanks, beautiful. I thought I owed you an explanation regarding my affair with reiko, but I do not have to justify how my wife and I chose to save our daughter 25 years ago. Elizabeth is still dealing with this. For her, this is her present, and I am a part of that. Are you? Am I what? I know you’ve been seeing elizabeth. But is that still true? Why do you ask? You weren’t in monterey supporting elizabeth when she needed it. What kind of relationship do you really have?


Anything aboutmy relationship with elizabeth. Yes, I made mistakes…

[ Scoffs ] Mistakes? …But I have sacrificed my relationship with my daughter so that she could live her life without the guilt she felt over reiko. That’s just what you tell yourself, man. You know, even if you thought abandoning your daughter when she was 15 was best for her, where the hell you been for the last 25 years? Oh, lucky me. Giselle wants to yell at me again for my asian fusion idea. Alright. I’ll be right back, okay? Okay. I’ll be here. Do you know something else about harmony? Just, um, that her reputation hasn’t really shown her to be all that truthful. And I’m — I’m sorry if I sound disrespectful. I realize she still raised you, but I do think it’s a good idea for you to verify everything that she said about your birth parents. Well, so far, we don’t have a lot to go on. Do you want me to do some digging?

[ Crying ] Please help me.

The first night we met, you were so mad at me. Okay, dex, I think your fever’s spiking. My guardian angel. Not like a — a sweet angel. Like a — a warrior angel with the flaming sword. So beautiful it hurts to look. Well, it’s a good thing you’re delirious. You’ll never remember that you said that. But I will.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Client never wanted a,

my client has no comment at this time. Of course, governor Elect price believes in justice. That’s why she’s asked me to remind everyone that in this country, a person is innocent until proven guilty. Well, I’m sorry to hear that. That’s all for now. Thank you.

What now?

Oh, hey, you read the intruder?

They’re all sharks and they smell blood in the water.

Bloody clothes. Damn. We do now.

Right. Well, we reached out to the Accused Bakery sweep bits for comment, but it seems that there’s some sort of a cover up that is expanding faster than the. Dough in their ovens? No. Oh God. How am I supposed to do a cover story on this? And I can’t even get comment from anybody.

Hi Gwen’s. Check from the Spectator. I know who you are, Gwen. Yeah. Your, um, sister-in-law’s girlfriend who’s just arrested for mad. You know, there’s unidentified sources that say that there’s some sort of a cover up going on. So tell me, when did Allie know this? What does

Ra It’s Allie. Um, I’m calling because. I need to see Chanel and they won’t let me. They’re saying that trash is not allowing visitors. If there’s anything that you can do, let me know. Show me back please,

Alex. Hey, I heard about Chanel. Thought maybe you could use a friend.

I don’t care what that fool trash says. I’m coming down there to see my baby girl. I’m the governor elect. What’s she going to do? Arrest me, Paulina. Listen, as a mother, I understand where you’re coming from. But as your daughter’s attorney, I have to ask you to just stay away. Okay. You and Abe need to avoid the press.

Good morning, Ms. Dupree.

Sleep well. I just thought after a long night in lockup, you might be ready to have a little chat with me. So what do you say? Are you ready to confess to murder,

like sands through the hourglass? So are the days of our lives.

You okay? Yeah. That’s a dumb question. No, it’s not. I mean, what else are you supposed to say? I’m not. Alex, well, let me see her. I mean, I watched them take her into a cell last night and then it’s alright. And then, I mean, I came home and Henry asked me why Chanel’s not here to do his favorite goodnight puppet show with him , he likes her funny voices better.

So I had to do both characters through tears. Obviously he knew something was wrong, but he eventually, he passed out. Did you get any sleep at all? No. I couldn’t sleep in our bed. I mean, I came out here, but this couch sucks, but I knew I wasn’t gonna sleep anyway. Yeah, I get it. I’m sorry. I, I don’t, I don’t even know what this is about.

Like how could this happen? Chanel arrested for murder and they’re saying that they have all of this evidence. God knows where they got that. Yeah, actually I know where they got it.

Since when are you a reporter for The Spectator? I’m asking the questions. Thank you. Okay. Tell me, so when did your husband find out that his sister was dating a murderer? No fricking comment. Especially after everything you did. The Chad and Abigail. You have some nerve accusing anyone of anything. Don’t think I’m not gonna write about.

Maybe he won’t answer your questions, but I will.

I tried to squash that story, but the intruder isn’t really big on facts or integrity or, what’s that word again? Oh yeah, truth. Well, I’m well aware of the depths to which the injury will sink. The problem is their readers will believe this trash. I mean, all they care about is boosting click numbers, but all they have to do is feed their readers These sensationalized lies like this.

I was the target before. Saw the scars from the hatch job first. They went after my one night stand with Glen Resk, and then my alleged affair with Leo Stark Lime rat. Good morning, governor Elect price. I have your schedule, your call log your half, half vanilla soy with just a dusting of turmeric.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find your favorite pastry that bearclaw from Sweet Bits. So I took the initiative of making you a cake and a mug in the microwave. You fired Mary. Uh, but I’m Leo, I don’t give a damn what your name is. I’m kicking your ass to the curb. You are done here, but I I, I’m the only one standing between you and all those blood thirsty reporters out there.

I just told them I saw Barbara Streisand putting in her advanced order at the Brady Pub for 800 taken baked turkeys for all those weird underground mall employees. She has those press vs flanked over there in a wild goose chase. But they’ll be back. But you won’t. I’ll take my chances with the press.

But you are the voucher I need to get rid of. Cause you are the reason that my daughter was arrested for murder.

It’s just a matter of time. Chanel, trust me, it’ll be better for all of us. Even you if you just confess what the hell is going on here? You know damn well you can’t question my client without me present. I was merely checking in with our guest here and since you finally decided to join. I’d like to ask you a few questions Chanel, and get the answers we are all looking for, and I assume that your attorney has had a chance to look over the file of evidence that we have.

Yes. As a matter of fact, I’ve had a chance to look it over and that’s exactly why I’m here to insist that you drop all of these charges.

Why would I believe a single word that came out of your mouth? You never know. Maybe I have some insights that could be valuable to you. . Yeah, not a chance. What do you think the state bar would do if they found out that you coaxed Leo Stark, your client? Into lying to the police gui to dignify that with the, and how do you think that the state bar would react if they found out that said obstruction of justice led to the wrongful arrest of an innocent party?

Namely me, you know, if this really is your line of questioning, I would say that there’s no proof that I had any knowledge of my client’s true intentions. And with the information that my client gave me, I acted in his best. Also, I am currently available for council. So why don’t you hop on over to my website, uh, you know, for the little piece you’re writing, why don’t you go to Hill?

Actually,

better question. Do you have any knowledge of who gave Melinda Trask the dirt on Chanel dupree? And the answer, ding, ding, ding. Is me. Great. Your skeezy lawyer friend is the one who had evidence on Chanel. Where did she get it? I don’t know. And for the record, Sloan is no longer my friend or anything else for that matter.

Ever since she has proven to me that she’s nothing but a ambulance chasing she Devil. Yes, that should pretty much be on her business card. And now it turns out that she’s blackmailing Chanel’s mother for some mystery. Not that I even had a clue about that when I stole the file of evidence from her apartment.

Oh, wow. I mean, thank you. Please do not thank me yet. It’s not the end of the story. Sloane somehow got the file back. She gave it to the da. Why on earth would I drop the charges when I have everything I need to convict your client right here in this little file. Right. Listen, I know you’re really busy, so you might have forgotten, but we’re in Salem.

Oh, is that where we are? Yes. And the incident in question actually happened when Chanel was living abroad in the United Kingdom. So Ms. Trask, you don’t actually have jurisdiction. So I’m just gonna go find someone to uncuff you and get you out of here. Oh my God, thank you so much. I wouldn’t thank her just yet.

Ms. Dupree, because you aren’t going anywhere, I have obtained permission from Scotland Luard to question your client on their behalf, . Okay? You think a judge is gonna buy that? Mm, I’m sure. Or else I wouldn’t have gone through the trouble. Okay. We’ll see at the arraignment, but until there’s a ruling, my client’s not answering any more of your questions.

Okay, sure. Fine by me. Oh, uh, Ms. Brady, did you happen to see your husband out there when you were making your call? What do you want with Sean? Well, we’re gonna need someone to haul in Chanel’s mother for question. If your client won’t talk, maybe Governor elect price will

Ms. Price. If you would just let me explain what the hell is there to explain. See, Stephanie Johnson told me. Everything. So now I know that you, you, you took sw, you are the one who left that Sloan Peterson into my safe. Well, no, no, she didn’t tell you everything because she left out the part about being an accident.

I only opened up that safe in my capacity as your assistant to execute your executive orders. You said I could have an advance on my salary. Remember, that’s what this is about. The payback said shyster, and I didn’t want to interrupt the newly elected governor of this great state. So I opened up the safe and I took the advance from petty cash.

Not a penny more you can check, but I had no idea those documents were in there and no idea that sneaky Succubus was gonna smash them out from behind my back. I know you probably want to kill me right about now. Don’t gimme any ideas.

How did Governor Elect price persuade the voters that she was the Law and Order candidate when she has a daughter in prison for murder and another on the way there for that same charge. And then the journalist goes on to, to say that Hanau was let away in handcuffs on election night and then declares their guilt as if he’s judge, jury, and executioner.

I mean, it seems like he’s, he’s, he’s coming at this like he’s got a personal vendetta. You know? There’s not a single fact. Okay. Okay. But until we know the full story, let’s stop focusing on the little details. Fact or fiction. Right now, our only job is to take care of Paulino and her family. So the question is how do we spend this?

What do you want with my mama? I think you know, Ms. Dupree, that this file has evidence that your mother is an accomplice after the fact that she covered up your crime to cover your ass. And that is, as I’m sure you know, illegal and I think the good people of this state should know who they elected as their.

I’ll just go get a detective and go down to our campaign offices. And if Sean isn’t available, well, I’ve planned people on staff that can make the arrest. No, no. Wait, I will answer your questions. No, Chanel don’t. Yes. Do this. Yes. Ask me anything you want and I will answer. I will not let my mother pay for something that I did.

Wait, I think I got it. Okay. You said that reporter wrote the articles if it was personal. Well, our venomous district attorney makes everything personal, right, that she does from what I’ve read and heard. She was determined to put Pauline’s daughter Lonnie behind bars for the rest of her life and would therefore be deeply disappointed if not infuriated, that that did not happen because Pauline had forced her hand, made her cut a deal.

So if she couldn’t get one daughter, then you get the other one that could work. That’s brilliant. You’re brilliant. Okay. Let’s keep the spin focused on our clients. But, okay. How do we, how do we drive this home? How do we get this story about a da with an ax to grind to a media outlet that doesn’t do hatchet jobs?

Well, I, uh, I have an in, what’s the only reputable newspaper in town? Of course, uncle Jack owns a spectator. Yeah. But Jack’s visiting Jennifer in New York, but they did hire a new reporter who I think is a year to make her mark. And you know, this person more intimately than I’d like to.

Check’s daughter. Great. What do you think Gwen Riz check will do you a favor given her history. I don’t know. I’ll make it happen. So you are the one who gave evidence against Chanel Dask. Guilty.

Right. So first you try to railroad me and now you are going after the governor elect’s daughter. What did you, did you vote for the other guy? No, no, no. I don’t get involved in politics. There’s way more money in the middle. Yeah. There’s also lots of money in fabricating evidence. Isn. Fine. Don’t take my word for it.

Never. Well, why don’t you be the judge? I can just send you the file. What’s your angle here? I have no angle. I’m just doing my duty as a good citizen. Besides, I think the people deserve to know the truth that that mommy of two murderers just got elected as governor. Keep an eye out from my email.

Look, I had no idea what was in that file, had anything to do with Chanel, and if I had known that, I would’ve burned the damn thing right then and there. Yeah, but you didn’t know, I mean, you were just trying to help. Yeah, and then I ended up causing a colossal mess.

Look, right now, I am here for you and to help you any way I possibly can. That’s it. Thank you.

Oh my God. Okay. Ray said that he pulled some strings. I can go see Chanel. That’s great. You gotta go. Oh yeah, I know. It’s such a relief. He said I can go right now. Perfect. Good. Cool. Hey, um, oh my, what am I gonna do about Henry? I obviously can’t bring him there and my new roommate’s outta town. I can babysit.

Really? You don’t? You don’t mind? I don’t mind. What do you mean? I just told you whatever I can do to help. You just said I don’t want my mother to pay for what I did. Is that an admission of guilt? Mr. Dpri? You do not answer that. Okay, fine. Let’s start with an easy one. Do you recognize this woman in this photo?

Yes. What’s her name? Martha Bedford. And this one, is that you? Yes. When I was in college. And here is the copy of the incident report. Is that your signature at the bottom indicating that this is your sworn statement?

Yes. So you admit you are the one who murdered Martha Bedford. Okay, we’re gonna stop right there. Don’t say another word. I can bring her mother in here if I need to. You know what? You can bring in her mother, her grandmother, the Pope, or the Easter bunny. This interview is over.

I did not give you the okay to open my safe, did I? Did I? So since you took that upon yourself, my little girl was arrested for murder. But she didn’t do it right. She’s innocent, isn’t she? Ms. Price? I understand exactly what your daughter is going through. I too have been falsely accused and it’s traumatic.

It’s horrible. I still have nightmares about it, except Chanel isn’t being falsely accused, is she? She’s guilty of sin.

Yeah, more lies from the desk of Sloan Peterson. I swear to God, if I get a virus from opening his attachment, I’m gonna bloody kill.

Oh my God. Hello Gwen. Sorry. I know you just, um, you just started at the Spectator and, uh, and boy do I have, I have a big. Story for you. Trust me, you are gonna want this byline. Not as big as the fish that I just landed.

You’ve tricked me. I turned my back for one second. Counting the money to pay you back and you pluck a personal file from safe. That’s theft. And now you’ve returned to the scene of the crime. Call the police. I have no problem testifying against her. I see you’re back to your old tricks, Mr. Stark. You just said your back was turned.

So how can you testify as a witness? Uh, no, you said that. I said my back was turned and now I retract that statement. I will have no problem telling the cops I saw you reach into that safe. Now I see it. I kept asking myself over and over, why, why would she hire this little pip squeak? And now it’s so clear.

Go, you’re done here. I’m just trying to help and you’re making things worse now just get. Fine, but you have not seen the last of me Peterson, and mark my words. You will eventually be very, very sorry. You ever messed with me in such an appallingly, deceitful way,

and good luck finding turmeric in this little burg I bought out Salem’s entire supply for you.

So, Another daughter made a mess and you swoop and clean it up, but yet again, all your power and money couldn’t save it from blowing up in your face. You know, I really thought this finger paint would come off a little easier, but we’re just gonna have to give you a bath later. For now, you do your thing.

Block time. It’s block time. Yeah. No, mommy must have forgot something. Good work. Yeah. Good work. Oh.

No, I don’t want my mother involved. Chanel. You do not say another word. Counselor, how about you and I have a little chat outside. Huh?

Don’t test me, miss Broody. I will haul in Paulina Price. Oh, please. If you’re going to, you would’ve done that already. I’m here to see my girlfriend finally, and nobody is going to stop me.

Alex, I didn’t expect to see you here. Well, ally went to go see Chanel, so I offered to stay. Henry. Oh, well that was nice of you. I, uh, I came by to see Allie too. I wanted to see if she was doing okay and if she needed help with what to say. You know, the press approaches her. Ah, so you’re here on a PR mission for the governor?

Yeah. Hmm. She was only elected yesterday and already as a major crisis. I’m just here to help however I can. Well, that makes two of us came here with the same message and, uh, Ended up becoming the backup babysitter. Oh, well, looks like you’ve got everything under control on this front. Yeah.

Hey, it’s okay buddy. Hey, it’s okay. Hey, mommy’s gonna be back soon. Promise. Okay. She’s gonna be back soon. Come here. Come on, let’s go. Alright. Alright buddy. She’ll be back soon. Shell be back soon. Maybe I’m needed here. After all,

the prisoner isn’t allowed. Any visitors. Well, commissioner Ray Hernandez says other. Here is his written authorization.

I, I’ll have to have a word with the commissioner actually, last time I checked Ray reports to the mayor, not you. So Yes, you can go in. She’s in there. Thank you.

The mayor, huh? Huh? You mean Mr. Paulina? Price? If he thinks he can sweep all of this under the rug too, then he’s in for a rude, awake.

Leo, are you okay? No Jackson, far from it. I am utterly miserable console me.

Oh, um, I was actually just doing some early Christmas shopping Ferrari, so I should probably, you know, get back. Yeah. You’re such a good daddy. I wish I had an adorable daddy buying me gifts, but this is for sure going to be a screw gear for little old me. You sit for a few. Just a few. I promise I won’t keep you.

Not that I could or should. Unlike me, you have a life, you have a job, a husband, child, family, and friends. Why would you wanna squander time trying to cheer up ale? Mazel like me.

Do you? Um, Do you wanna tell me what’s going on? Where to begin?

Aside from hating myself for being the most annoying person on the planet, by all accounts,

my new career is over before it even began.

I am not quite sure as to what you’re referring. Please. Let’s just skip this part. Okay. Your assistant just threatened to perjury himself. I think we both know where we stand. Well, that man is no longer my assistant. Okay. If you wanna do it that way, fine. Let me just spell it out for you. You lied about the murder of TR Coats to protect your eldest daughter, Lonnie.

Common Knowledge. Right, right. And now Trask knows what Chanel did and how you covered it up. Are we on the same page here now? So two daughters, two crimes, and two coverups. So now it’s only a matter of time if we’re slapped with handguns and let away and disgrace. Does that sound about right? Governor?

I am gonna give you an SJ p r exclusive. Are you, you ready for this? Da Trash Targets Governor Elect and Family over Old Grudge. Hey, uh, Gwen, are you listening to me? I, if you want to be a reporter, you’re gonna have to pull yourself off social media or whatever it is a, a stupid game. You’re, you’re playing and, uh, and focus on the news that’s happening right in front of you.

You know, I r l Baby. Fyi, I am not on social media and I’m not playing a stupid game. In fact, I’m doing research on my. New article. How does this headline sound? Right? Okay. Damning evidence surfaces in Governor elect criminal cover ups what I happen to be in possession of a copy of the evidence against Chanel and her mother.

The reporter never reveals her sources. And what the hell since you’ve seen so obviously invested. Sloane Peterson. Peterson gave you that. Me and Trask. And while Trask is gonna take it to the court, I’m gonna take it to the presses. Oh. Ah, no, no. You can’t publish that. Watch me.

Oh, Dupree. I was so worried about you. Oh, I’m good. Horton. Now that you’re here, and I’m so sorry for where you must be going, forget about me. You’re the one who’s in here. You’re the one who’s being falsely accused. I just, I miss you so much. So does. Oh, sweet Henry, is he here? Is, is he? No, no, no. He’s home.

He’s with Alex. And then I realized I wanted to go all the way home, but I couldn’t. Oh, no. How come? Oh, I wanted to run home, but I realized. I have no legs. Wha What do you mean you have no legs? We a tick. I have no legs either. What do we do? I dunno. But maybe it’s good. Now we found each other you mean because we both have no legs.

Yeah. We’re the same. We’re the same. Well, since we found each other, whatever shall we do, maybe we should kiss. You want me? To kiss you.

Alright. Here goes nothing.

Okay. Well, I mean, it’s not like he actually gave Peterson the file. Of course not. The last person I would ever be in cahoots with is that miserable skank. It was an accident. Did you explain that to Paulina? Madame? Governor Scrooge would not hear it, so she bagged me right out the door like I was a common criminal.

I’m never gonna have my happy ending. Like Bob crotch it. It’s crotch it. Leo, what’d I say? It doesn’t matter. Okay. Just maybe this isn’t the end of the story, you know, maybe Pauline will be visited by three ghosts tonight. I, I doubt it. No, no. I, even though it was an accident, it’s still my fault, son for opening up that damn safe without Ms.

Price’s permission. That was, uh, That was not cool. No, it wasn’t. Even though I didn’t have my usual alleged ill intentions, uh, Jackson, I really was turning the corner. I had a decent job. I was eating well, cutting back on the booze, reading all these self-help books about how to be a decent person. My favorite of which, by the way, is called Stop Fetching and Get a Life, which I highly recommend, and then I blew it.

Okay. Well, you know, on the bright side, you didn’t mean to hurt anyone. You, I mean, at least not this time. True.

I guess. I’m so used to crossing lines. I don’t even see them when they’re right in front of me.

Those allegations haven’t, haven’t been proven. I don’t know that you knew the, the whole reporter thing, but if Abigail were here, she would tell you. Then you need multiple, reliable sources. You can’t print it until you can verify it. Right. Well, I appreciate the, uh, crash course in journalism 1 0 1. Yeah.

Cheers. Thanks. But I’m, I’m good. And, uh, I think the, uh, documents that Sloan sent seem legitimate, so if they’re good enough to ask, but I would go to Jack.

But he’s focused on Jennifer right now. Please, Gwen, I’m begging you don’t publish this.

Give me a reason why not to jack your dad. He trusted you. He gave you this chance. I know you helped Jennifer get the help that she needed. Which shows me that I know that you, you want to be a better person. Keep that going and use the chance that he gave you for good. Don’t do trust dirty work. You know, from experience that Sloan isn’t somebody who who can be trusted.

You have to decide which side do you want to be on it.

Why are you doing. You broke our deal. Well, I stole the file. You stole it back. All fair and love in politics. But we were back to square one. I would’ve paid you all the same. Now you got nothing. When you gave that file to the da, you lost all your leverage. Your client must be thrilled. You cost that dirty blackmail, a ton of money.

I guess since everything’s out in the open now, I’ll let you in on a little secret. This was never about the money.

I had this amazing opportunity and I blew it off to smithereens, but hey, that’s what I’m best at, isn’t it? I threw away an incredible. Access to power. A decent salary. At least I still have all the turmeric a girl could want. I’m sorry. Really? Really?

Um, have you had breakfast, Jeff? Hello? Did grab this on my way out the door. Why? Come in now. Have a bite with me. I would love to, but like I said, I’m poor than Bob Crot. Come on you. You bought me dinner last night. All right. I owe you one. You really wanna be seen with the disgraced ex assistant of the soon to be disgraced Governor Elect.

I could care less what people think. All right. And you and didn’t look like you could use a friend. Are we friends now? Jackson? Mm-hmm. . Let’s just. Let’s start with breakfast. Okay,

well I guess our puppet show knocked him out cuz little Hank is sound asleep. he is. So brushes, I know. You know, our date last night didn’t really, uh, end the way a date is supposed to, you know, a good date anyway. And how does a good date end? Oh, oh. I suppose since we now know that we make such a good team, what else should we possibly do?

Hmm. Maybe we should kiss

fine. I’ll go with your story and I won’t publish the file. Thank you. Until I can verify it’s true. Off the record. I hope it’s not Why, so that I can write the story that I’d prefer to write. Trashing Sloan Peterson and Melinda Trask.

This wasn’t about a payout. It’s always been about a payback. You are telling me your mystery client never wanted a check. No more games. Ms. Peterson, tell me who the hell your client is. Who wants to hurt me in my family? Tell us me. Write this second, or one of us is gonna leave this room in a whole world of.

There is no client. The person who wants payback is me.

Why Belinda? Why are you so hell bent on punishing my client? Why? Why do you let your personal feelings or your need to be vindicated or whatever? Why do you let that prejudice? You like this, to prejudice me? Are you insinuating that I’m in breach of my professional obligations? Have you not let it sink in that I have incontrovertible evidence that this woman committed murder and got away with it, but you don’t.

You know damn well that no evidence is incontrovertible. You know what else I. Is it you are just prolonging the inevitable because Ms. Dupree is going down and so is her mother. This is all so crazy. They’re saying you killed someone. I know you Dupree. I know you better than anyone. There is no way that you could do anything like that.

No way.

I am sorry. I’m so, so sorry, but you’re wrong. I did kill someone.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nikki: Well, ashley, please tell us why you called us here today.

Phyllis: Yeah, what’s the urgency?

Ashley: I wanted you both to know that it turns out it was a good idea to befriend tucker.

Nikki: Do tell.

Ashley: He told me that he actually found out that diane was committing crimes in los angeles.

Phyllis: I knew she was committing crimes.

Nikki: I suspected as much.

Phyllis: Please tell me that these crimes are felonies.

Ashley: She was moving cash for a man by the name of jeremy stark, a high-profile criminal who’s actually doing time in federal prison. Tucker told me all sorts of information about the two of them.

Phyllis: This is amazing. This is so much better than staring at a tennis bracelet.

Nikki: Stark? Why is that thing familiar?

Ashley: Probably because you read it on a news feed this morning. Mr. Stark is being released from prison very soon.

Kyle: Mom? You look preoccupied.

Diane: Um, kyle, can we talk?

Kyle: Is something wrong?

Summer: Jack, hi.

J s

Jack: What a relief. Hey, speaking of lunch, I haven’t ordered yet. You care to join me?

Summer: Well, I was just going to grab some takeout, but, um, sure.

Jack: Well, great.

Summer: Why not?

Jack: Gives me a chance to tell you how proud I am of you.

Summer: Any reason in particular?

Jack: Yeah, you are really shining at marchetti.

Summer: Well, thanks, jack. I have to give some of the credit to kyle, though. He has been a huge help.

Jack: The two of you are a terrific team. It just pleases me so much to see you so in sync.

Summer: For the most part, yeah. There’s a few things that we disagree on.

Jack: Let me guess, a big sticking point is diane.

Summer: I got to know, jack. How do you really feel about this latest revelation?

Jack: In a word, exhausted.

Devon: I don’t like seeing your suitcases, amanda.

Amanda: Well, I am not thrilled about it, either. I’m sorry. I thought that I would be gone before you got back. I’m just packing up the last little bit of my things. If I forgot anything, I will send for it.

Devon: I think you’re moving too fast.

Amanda: I don’t think that there’s any reason to stick around. And just so you know, I will be resigning from chancellor-winters. I can’t see us working side-by-side under the circumstances.

Devon: You don’t have to quit.

Amanda: I was going to return to virginia anyway. My family needs me.

Devon: I need you here.

Amanda: Don’t worry. Okay? I’ll find a replacement for you and lily before I resign.

Devon: I don’t care about the job. I’m not worried about that, okay? I care about you, and I just want an opportunity to talk to you to see if we can’t work this out.

Abby: Papa’s not here, and daddy’s working, but you will see them later. I promise. Mommy will make sure of it.

Mariah: Hi.

[ Knocks on doorframe ]

Abby: Hi.

Mariah: Hey. Sorry. I just wanted to stop by and give dom a little present I got him.

Abby: Oh, wow.

Mariah: It was so cute. I just — I couldn’t really resist.

Abby: Thank you. I’m sure he will love it.

Mariah: And I have some very exciting news. Tessa and I are waiting to hear back from a young, pregnant mom who wants to give her baby up for adoption. So we might be parents soon.

Abby: Wow. That’s great. I will keep my fingers crossed for you guys.

Mariah: Thank you. I am so, so excited, but the waiting is kind of killing me. So I decided to get a little gift for the baby that’s already a part of my life. And watch you open the present, which you haven’t yet.

Abby: Oh, I-I’ll get to it later.

Mariah: You usually tear into presents right away. What’s wrong?

Abby: It’s nothing.

Mariah: Come on. I know you better than that. I’m just going to keep pushing until you tell me what it is. So you might as well just spill now.

Abby: Chance didn’t come home last night. Flu symptoms hit harder than the common cold.

Nikki: So this is what tucker has been holding over diane’s head to force her to do his bidding.

Phyllis: I knew there was more.

Ashley: Yeah, well, we all did, phyllis, and we were all right.

Nikki: Well, it makes sense. She’d be willing to do anything to regain the wealth that she was so accustomed to.

Phyllis: I never believed her story of this modest life in los angeles selling little homes. I mean, she is a climber. She’ll claw her way to the top.

Nikki: A leopard never changes her spots.

Phyllis: This is what kyle and jack need to see, and then they won’t believe her story anymore.

Ashley: Yeah. So what now?

Nikki: Well, I think we need to call talia, let her know what’s going on.

Phyllis: Not so fast. Ashley, how do we know that tucker isn’t setting some sort of trap? I mean, does jack know about diane’s illegal activity?

Ashley: [ Sighs ] I tried to tell him, and he shut me down. He also told me to back off.

Nikki: Oh, my god, he’s still trying to protect her?

Ashley: Yes.

Phyllis: I can’t believe this. He keeps on buying this “poor, pitiful me” act.

Ashley: He thinks that he’s protecting kyle and harrison from being hurt by diane, but he doesn’t understand that the way to do that is to not back off, because she needs to be exposed for who and what she is. We’ve got to nail her this time.

Jack: To be perfectly honest, I want to continue to give diane the benefit of the doubt, but believe that she’s left everything in L.A. Behind her, that it was a means to an end, and that end was being reunited with her son, but given these latest revelations, it becomes increasingly difficult to buy.

Summer: I can’t do it anymore. I can’t trust her. Believe me, I have tried for kyle’s sake and for harrison’s sake. I mean, I gave her a job.

Jack: Yeah.

Summer: I tried to let her earn her place in harrison’s life and in his heart, but I’ve hit a wall with her. I guess you could say that I am just as exhausted as you are.

Jack: You know what? I think we’re all so tired of all of this, including diane.

Summer: [ Sighs ] You know, even if we could trust that she’s put all of her criminal misdeeds behind her, who’s to say that it’s not going to catch up with her eventually? And when it does, what kind of danger does that pose to kyle?

Kyle: Okay, mom, what is it?

Diane: [ Scoffs ] I hate that “what now?” Tone. I’m worried that I lost some of the ground that I gained with you and the abbotts when you learned what I did in los angeles, what I had to do in order to survive. I feel like I’m back at square one.

Kyle: I already told you —

Diane: I know you told me you understand why I did what I did, but I still feel like it’s changed the dynamic between us. I mean, look at the way you’re speaking to me right now, like you’re just — like you’re just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Kyle: Maybe you should look at this latest confession from my point of view. It’s only natural that this news would make us feel guarded when it comes to you and your past. Yet, even after hearing about it, I’ve again given you the benefit of the doubt.

Diane: And I appreciate that, but I —

Kyle: No. No, no, no, no. No buts. Frankly, I think you’re the one being impatient and a bit unreasonable. You should expect us to have a little less trust in you now.

Diane: [ Sighs ] I — I honestly don’t know if I can live like this, always being on trial with all of you. How can we expect to ever truly be a family if there’s always this undercurrent of suspicion?

Kyle: Okay, what exactly are you saying?

Diane: Maybe I don’t have the strength to live with this constant scrutiny and uncertainty. Maybe it’s time for me to go. Maybe I should’ve never returned.

[ Sighs ] Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Amanda: I don’t think that there’s anything left to talk about. I’ve taken a moment to breathe since we last spoke and process the shock of what me and chance walked in on, and I see the situation more clearly now.

Devon: And?

Amanda: I believe you when you say that you and abby, whatever happened, it was spontaneous and unexpected.

Devon: Well, I appreciate that ’cause it’s the truth.

Amanda: But at any time from that first kiss, anything that followed, you could’ve stopped yourself, but you didn’T. And I’ve been thinking about that a lot. Why didn’t either one of you pull back? What would possibly carry you through to the ultimate betrayal? And I’ve come up with the only possible conclusion. Because you are a good man, devon. You have a big heart and you are a thoughtful friend and you’ve been all of those things to me, and I really — when I came home from virginia, I thought that you would be those things for me now.

Devon: And I’m sorry that I let you down.

Amanda: Yeah, but I have to believe that someone as judicious as you would not go past the point of no return unless there were true feelings involved. So I just — I have to face the fact that there is more of a connection between you and abby, maybe even more than you are willing to admit.

Chance: Yeah, it was a late night last night. I didn’t really get much sleep. Appreciate the coffee, though.

Sharon: Hey, do you mind if I sit down?

Chance: Sure. I’d like that.

Sharon: I remember how exhausted rey was on some of his all-nighters, and, um, early in the relationship, I would get jealous. I mean, don’t get me wrong. I — I never thought that rey would cheat on me. I would just get jealous of the job. You know, rey was so committed to his work. I just felt like sometimes I was in second place.

Chance: Yeah. Yeah, abby feels the same way sometimes. Especially lately.

Sharon: You know, the other night, I happened to see what seemed like the tail end of an argument with you and abby.

Chance: Yeah. Yeah, that’s what that was.

Sharon: Well, I don’t mean to pry, but, um, I don’t know, it seems like maybe your work is what’s causing tension for abby.

Mariah: Chance was out all night?

Abby: On a stakeout. Yeah, it must’ve run late.

Mariah: Another one? ‘Cause it seems like every time tess and I come down into the coffeehouse for a late-night snack, chance is there, and he’s filling up on enough coffee to get him through another late-night stakeout. I was kind of hoping things would calm down, and he’d start working more regular hours.

Abby: Yeah, me, too.

Mariah: Well, at least he’s not gone for months on end, and he’s not working an undercover job that takes him halfway around the world.

Abby: Right?

Mariah: I guess chance just loves his job. You know, rey was the same way. They just get this adrenaline, I guess, out of catching the bad guys.

Abby: That must be it.

Mariah: That can get annoying, I bet. I mean, I know I had such a hard time when tessa was on tour for months on end. Can I admit something in confidence?

Abby: Sure.

Mariah: As bad as I feel about tessa canceling her tour because of her vocal nodules, part of me has really enjoyed having her around more. It’s kind of the silver lining. I must be an awful person for even thinking that.

Abby: No, it’s understandable.

Mariah: Yeah, it’s been amazing, you know? She gets to give attention to our relationship and our adoption process. Don’t get me wrong. As soon as the doctor clears her to get back on stage, I’m going to be right there rooting her on, but it has been nice to get a little bit of attention and not play second fiddle to her beautiful music.

Abby: Second fiddle.

Mariah: I know chance is out there busting criminals, and however noble his job may be, it sucks that he prioritizes that or anything over you and dom.

Abby: It is hard, and it is causing problems in our marriage.

Kyle: Don’t you think you’re being a little melodramatic?

Diane: This is my life, my future. If anything, I’m holding back.

Kyle: Really? Because I can’t help but wondering if all this emotion is a calculated move to get me to beg you to stay.

Diane: Kyle, that’s not fair. How could you stand to constantly live under a microscope? Every move and intention met with judgment and suspicion. How would you feel if you couldn’t escape a questionable past? Even if the things you did were done out of necessity for survival?

Kyle: I’m sure it would be difficult.

Diane: Yeah, and to make matters worse, there’s a small legion of adversaries just doing their best to bring me down and run me out of town.

Nikki: We need more than tucker’s word that she had a connection with this stark guy. And do we have any proof that she broke the law?

Ashley: Unfortunately, no.

Nikki: I don’t understand how all of our digging didn’t turn this up. And victor’s team, they don’t know anything about this. I mean, if she were involved in a criminal conspiracy, wouldn’t there be some sort of evidence?

Ashley: I asked tucker the same question, and he gave me a very vague answer, something like being in the right place at the right time. Same answer for how he made the connection between jeremy and diane.

Phyllis: I know, but if he’s using what he knows to pressure diane, I mean, he has to have some sort of proof.

Nikki: Maybe he’s playing you.

Ashley: Oh, I don’t think he’s flat-out lying. He told me this information because he wants to prove that I can trust him, that he’s loyal to me. In fact, he even — I mean, he wrapped it up, you know, with a ribbon, the whole thing, and presented it to me as a gift.

Nikki: Ashley, please don’t tell us that you are starting to soften towards him.

Ashley: Of course not. I’ve got him eating out of the palm of my hand. If you want to be certain, why don’t we go ahead and get victor’s team involved? You know, maybe they’ll find something out.

Phyllis: No, forget victor’s team. They’ve already shown they’re useless. It’s on us. We need to confront diane and put the fear of god in that bitch.

Laundry truths: The bargain

jug. and I’m going to tell you about exciting medicare advantage plans that can provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. With original medicare you are covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits but you have to meet a deductible for each, and then you’re still responsible for 20% of the cost. Next, let’s look at a medicare supplement plan. As you can see, they cover the same things as original medicare, and they also cover your medicare deductibles and coinsurance. But they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. Now, let’s take a look at humana’s medicare advantage plans. With a humana medicare advantage plan, hospitals stays, doctor office visits and your original medicare deductibles are covered. And, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. With no copays or deductibles on tier 1 prescriptions, and zero dollars for routine vaccines, including shingles, at in-network retail pharmacies. In fact, in 2021, humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $9,600 on average on their prescription costs. Most humana medicare advantage plans have coverage for vision and hearing. And dental coverage that includes two free cleanings a year, plus dentures, crowns, fillings and more! Most humana medicare advantage plans include a silver sneakers fitness program at no extra cost. You get all of this for as low as a zero-dollar monthly plan premium in many areas; and your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana’s large network. There is no obligation, so call the number on your screen right now to see if your doctor is in our network; to find out if you could save on your prescriptions, and to get our free decision guide. Humana, a more human way to healthcare. Your heart is the beat of life.

Kyle: By “adversaries,” I assume you mean phyllis and her new buddies.

Diane: I’m telling you, kyle, they’re driving me crazy. My nerves are shot, I can’t sleep at night, and it’s all because of their baseless, hypocritical attacks. I mean, if nikki, phyllis, and ashley tried to dig up this much dirt on themselves, what would that reveal? Plenty they wouldn’t want exposed, I’m sure.

Kyle: Yeah, let’s not go there.

Diane: I’m telling you, I can’t take it anymore. I am… I’m ready to throw in the towel. I’m done.

Kyle: So what’s brought on this urge to give up? You’re not a quitter and you’ve faced a slew of enemies since you came back to genoa city. Did those ladies do something? Did tucker?

Devon: Amanda, the only connection between me and abby is that we’re friends. That’s what we’ve always been.

Amanda: No, no don’t give me that knee-jerk reaction.

Devon: It’s the truth, though.

Amanda: I won’t believe it, and I deserve a lot better than that. So you need to think, devon, long and hard about what happened and why it happened.

Devon: Oh, believe me, it’s all I’ve been doing.

Amanda: Well, maybe my absence opened the door to this.

Devon: No, it didn’T. This isn’t about me being lonely, and it certainly isn’t about you spending time with your mother.

Amanda: Okay, don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that my absence caused this, and I am certainly — I have no intention of taking any responsibility for your betrayal, but maybe my absence paved the way for this. It gave you the time and the space that you needed to awaken these feelings that I’m talking about. And, trust me, I was completely blindsided. I did not see this coming. But now that I think about it and I see it, I just — it makes perfect sense.

Devon: Well, it doesn’t make any sense to me.

Amanda: Come on, devon.

Devon: What?

Amanda: You have been friends with abby for so long. You’ve helped each other through some hard times, and you’ve celebrated some good ones.

Devon: I know that that’s true. But I also told you that both of us figured out a long time ago that there’s nothing romantic between the two of us.

Amanda: And maybe that was true then, but you share a child now. Like, my god, I cannot believe that I didn’t see it. How could I possibly compete with that?

Abby: You know how much i love chance and how heartbroken I was when I thought we lost him.

Mariah: Yeah, I had a front-row seat for every moment of it.

Abby: And when he came home, when he came back to genoa city. I thought things were going to be great. I thought that he’d be able to focus on me, on dominic on building our family. I just… I thought things were going to be perfect.

Mariah: So then what is it that’s really going on?

Abby: I just don’t understand how chance can put so much of his attention into his work. It’s like when he has a case, that’s all he can focus on. He prioritizes it over me, over dominic. I don’t get it. I mean, am I expecting too much from my husband?

Mariah: Well, that depends, you know? Are you asking him not to care about his job?

Abby: Well, that’s the thing. Of course I want chance to have a meaningful career. I know it’s important to him. It’s just his priorities.

Mariah: Well, that’s the thing about chance. He’s a determined and dedicated man. To his family but also to his oath and his code. I don’t know if he could give that up, even if he wanted to.

Abby: Then where does this leave us?

Mariah: It depends on how you feel about the real man that you married versus the perfect one you imagined.

Chance: Yeah, there is some tension between abby and me. She just has this unrealistic fantasy of who she wants me to be, and I don’t think she gets who I actually am. And we just keep having the same argument over and over again, you know? And I’ve tried to help her understand how much I care about her and dom and that I will always be there for them, but it just feels like any time work comes up or plans get ruined because of a job or if she even thinks I’m distracted thinking about a case, she goes straight to betrayal. I’m betraying her.

Sharon: Because you’re not putting family first.

Chance: And the truth is, work is just important to me. It gives me a purpose, and I tell you, it makes me a better father and a better husband. I don’t think I could ever be happy giving that up.

Sharon: Is that really what abby wants, for you to give it up?

Chance: [ Sighs ] Sometimes I think it would make her happier. I’m telling you, I have tried to be the man that she wants me to be, and I just — I keep failing.

Sharon: Maybe you two can find a compromise.

Chance: I doubt we’re going to find any middle ground. I can’t control when I’m needed for work. If they call, I have to be available. And, you know, I don’t know if i want to be the man that abby says she wants. When you really need to sleep.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Chance: I’m sorry for unloading all that on you.

Sharon: No apology needed. I don’t want to offer any solutions, but I will make an observation.

Chance: Okay.

Sharon: [ Sighs ] Nobody can make somebody else change, and I’ve seen so many relationships fail trying.

Chance: Yeah, I don’t want that.

Sharon: Well, I hope that you and abby are able to work things out, but staying and trying to change something that can’t be changed is just headed down the road to miserable heartache. And, unfortunately, some people will always want what somebody else just can’t give them, and I’m sorry if that just sounds too rational or analytical. I know that we’re talking about matters of the heart.

Chance: No, no. I appreciate your candor. It’s actually refreshing.

Jack: Look, I think your support thus far for kyle has been amazing. I know this whole diane mess has really taken its toll, but you have handled it all with grace while raising a very busy little boy and relaunching marchetti all at once. Is it possible that maybe you’re taking on too much of the burden of keeping kyle safe?

Summer: I have to protect the people that I love.

Jack: Honey, nobody understands that instinct better than I do, but kyle’s a big boy. He’s smart. I know he wants his mother back in his life, but his eyes are wide open, particularly after this latest news.

Summer: [ Sighs ] I want to believe that. I really do. But I also see how much diane’s return means to kyle. And it’s not just that he missed having her in his life. It’s like his life is now somehow complete, now that she’s back in it, like he feels whole again somehow.

Jack: Yeah, I’ve seen that in him, too.

Summer: I worry that those feelings could blind him to an oncoming threat.

Jack: Well, you know what? If he doesn’t see it coming, we will. We will have his back.

Diane: You want to know what set me off? This. This is the man I told you about, the one I was stupidly involved with in L.A. The one who tricked me into moving money around for him illegally.

Kyle: Okay, so he’s about to be released from prison. You said you weren’t implicated. So what’s your concern?

Diane: Don’t you see? I can’t help but worry that the evil trifecta will find out about this and somehow use it against me.

Kyle: Yeah, I assume you mean nikki, ashley, and phyllis. How can they even connect you to stark?

Diane: Tucker. He’s been hanging around ashley, trying to win her back, and I certainly don’t trust him to protect this secret.

Kyle: I still don’t see what the big deal is. Even if there is proof that you had anything to do with stark, the statute of limitations has probably run out by now. I mean, what can they do? What can this guy do?

Diane: He’s a dangerous man. What if he believes I helped put him away? What if he’s been looking for revenge? And what if my enemies help him know how to find me?

Kyle: Did you?

Diane: What?

Kyle: Did you help put stark in jail? Who says you have to spend more on skincare

Devon: Amanda, I don’t want you to see this as a competition between you and abby, okay?

Amanda: That is the problem. You don’t see it. Something happened when you became dominic’s father.

Devon: What happened? ‘Cause you were right there by my side. You’ve been down this whole journey with me.

Amanda: No, exactly. I see how much you love that little boy. And that connects you to abby forever. And no matter how much you say that you love me, I will never be that for you. I will never be enough to fill that space in your heart.

Devon: This isn’t about you being enough. You’re more than enough for me.

Amanda: Well, then maybe you’re not enough for me. Because now I know that you are capable of throwing it all away. Your love for me was not strong enough to keep you from acting on your feelings with abby.

Chance: Mariah, good to see you.

Mariah: Yeah, it’s good to see you, too. But I’m so sorry. Got to run to work. Um, and you two should talk. I’ll see you later, okay?

Abby: Alright. I’m glad that you’re home. You know, I’ve been thinking a lot. I’ve expected so much from you since you got home from spain, and I’ve really only looked at our marriage from my point of view and not yours. You know, what about you? What do you expect? Chance, please. I’m really hoping that we can put aside what happened with devon. It was a complete mistake, and maybe we can work this out.

Ashley: Well, you know, the fact that stark went to prison and diane didn’t brings up a very interesting point. Obviously, the feds couldn’t pin jeremy’s crimes on diane, or she’d be in prison, too, right?

Phyllis: You’re not saying that diane’s innocent, are you?

Ashley: Of course not. I’m just thinking this through. I mean, if I were stark, I would wonder if diane had something to do with my conviction.

Nikki: He may very well suspect that she cut a deal to turn him in for her own immunity.

Phyllis: And if he does think that, that’s very bad for diane.

Ashley: If diane thinks that he’s getting out of prison soon, she would be terrified.

Nikki: Maybe she could be scared into believing that he’s coming for her.

Ashley: And then maybe that would motivate her to abandon this need she has to stay in genoa city, and it would get her to actually leave.

Phyllis: This time for good.

Kyle: Please just tell me you at least helped the feds put that man away.

Diane: Yes, I did. I sold him out to free myself so that I could turn things around and then figure out a way to get back to you.

Kyle: And he could easily suspect that because you weren’t investigated.

Diane: Yes. Especially if he gets some help. Kyle, what if he’s waiting for revenge, and the three of them just decide to light the match?

Kyle: Just calm down. Don’t drive yourself crazy over this. I don’t want you running away in fear from jeremy stark or anyone else. I won’t let anyone do anything to you.

Diane: Just hearing you say that makes me feel so much better.

Kyle: The abbotts protect their own.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin.

Nikki: Telling diane that we know about her history with stark would be a good place to begin.

Phyllis: We have to be really careful. I’ve seen diane get out of more difficult situations than this.

Ashley: It’s true. Why don’t we go ahead and get victor’s team involved? Maybe they could find some evidence that would actually tie diane to stark’s crimes. We could just use it as leverage if we needed it, right? And I think with both those things, we’ve got her.

Phyllis: We’re all agreed.

Nikki: Ladies, I believe it is time for the three of us to have another heart-to-heart with ms. Jenkins.

Diane: Thank you, kyle, for your support. It means so much.

Kyle: Does my father know you helped put stark away?

Diane: I haven’t told him that part. And I would only trust you and jack to know this, not even summer, because if she let it slip to phyllis —

Kyle: She wouldn’T.

Diane: I can’t take that chance.

Kyle: Look, I don’t want to keep this a secret from my wife.

Diane: Well — well, look at it this way. You’ll be saving her from the stress of having to hide it from her mother.

Kyle: No, our marriage is strong because we tell each other everything.

Diane: Kyle, please. Phyllis cannot know this. This is my story to tell, not yours. And as your mother, I need you to trust me that this is the right way to handle —

[ Door opens ]

[ Sighs ] Excuse me.

Kyle: Mm.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

[ Indistinct conversation in distance ]

[ Sighs ]

Devon: Amanda —

Amanda: Just go, devon, please. I just want to finish packing up my stuff alone, and I don’t want to say goodbye or anything. I just want to sneak out of here.

Devon: I don’t want you to sneak out. I don’t want you to go anywhere. Can you take a couple days or one day just to see if it makes you think any differently?

Amanda: It’s over, devon. Don’t you see that? There’s no coming back from this.

Devon: I never meant to hurt you… and I hate that I did. I just hope that you know how much I love you, and nothing has changed about that.

Amanda: But everything has. You’re going to have to accept that.

[ Crying ]

[ Sighs ]

Chance: That it’s too late. We’re past working things out.

Abby: No. [ Sniffles ] No, no. How can you say that? After everything we’ve overcome, I mean, after everything that we mean to each other. We can work through this.

Chance: Look, I know in my heart… and I can say this without any bitterness or anger, but… you belong with devon. He’s the guy that fits all your ideals. I’m not that guy. I never will be that guy. And I accept that. So it’s over, abby.

Abby: [ Sniffles ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Taylor: Wow, so… so, brooke signed the papers.

Ridge: Wasn’t easy for her.

Taylor: Oh ridge, it wasn’t easy for you either. I know it was necessary.

Ridge: Yeah, it was. And now it’s done.

Donna: Brooke, why would you agree to that?

Brooke: What was I gonna do, donna? Ridge wants an annulment.

Donna: But you don’T.

Brooke: No, of course, I don’T. It broke my heart. But I’m not going to just stand in his way if that’s really what he wants.

Donna: But is that really what he wants? I know that he still loves you, brooke.

Brooke: I know that too.

Donna: So why? What happened?

Brooke: Thomas happened.

Douglas: Why are you so mad?

Thomas: I don’t like that app. I don’t like that you keep playing with it and every time I turn around, you’re trying to trick people.

Douglas: Because it’s funny. Everyone laughs about it. No one ever gets upset.

Thomas: Okay, look. Come here a sec. This isn’t about whether people are laughing at it or not, okay? This is about the fact that I have asked you to not do something and you keep doing it. It’s disrespectful and it needs to stop. Do you understand?

Douglas: Yes.

[ Taylor sighing ]

Taylor: I know that you’re– you’re processing a lot. And you didn’t tell me that you were doing this today, but I just… how are you feeling? I don’t want you to bottle up how you’re feeling with me.

Ridge: It would be kind of tough to do with the psychiatrist in the house. Not hiding my feelings from you. I won’t, not ever.

Taylor: Not ever, okay. So, what are you feeling?

Ridge: About us?

[ Taylor imitating a buzzer ]

Taylor: No. About what just happened in your life. Brooke.

Ridge: Sadness. It’s a lot of years.

Taylor: I know. You guys have gone through so much together. And I know this is so hard for you, but ridge, you– you did it. Even though I know that part of you can’t believe that– that it’s over with brooke.

Donna: Oh, no. What did thomas do now?

Brooke: I don’t know but ridge implied that ending our marriage has to do with thomas.

Donna: But that doesn’t even make any sense. I mean, what could thomas do to end your marriage?

Brooke: I don’t know. I don’t know, it’s– it’s crazy. He acts as if I should know, as if I’ve done something. And I don’t even know what it is.

Donna: Maybe it’s just that you don’t trust thomas. That you– you never have.

Brooke: Maybe.

Donna: And honestly, I don’t even blame you. You should’ve seen him with douglas today.

Brooke: What do you mean? What happened to douglas? Is he okay?

Donna: No, he’s fine, he’s fine. It’s just, thomas just got really upset with douglas.

Douglas: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to disobey you.

Thomas: Like you just, you keep playing around with this app and I specifically told you not to. So, what I want you to do is I want you to go upstairs and I want you to delete that thing. I don’t ever want to see or hear it again. Do I make myself clear?

Douglas: Yes.

Thomas: Okay.

Brooke: His father,

thomas forester, is unstable.

He has a knife.

Cps agent: And your name,

ma’am?

Thomas: Brooke logan.

Please hurry.

Brooke’s voice: Brooke logan

please hurry. (Grump) today is a great day to show up for yourself.

Ridge: You know, I– I thought I’d finally figured it out. Figured how to be married. How to– how to– love someone, respect someone. And– and it’s– it’s, I was wrong about all of it.

Taylor: Ridge, are you– are you feeling guilty for leaving brooke to be with me?

Ridge: Do I feel guilty?

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: By choosing happiness, by choosing someone who’s not going to lie to me? No.

Taylor: Okay, wait, is that because brooke lied to you?

Ridge: I don’t want to talk about brooke anymore.

Taylor: Ridge…

Ridge: Let’s not. Let’s talk about something else.

Taylor: Okay, what do you want to talk about?

Ridge: What do you want to talk about?

Taylor: This is something good to talk about, right?

Ridge: Kids?

Taylor: Kids.

Ridge: Kids, yeah. Steffy’s doing well.

Taylor: Yeah, she’s good.

Ridge: Thomas is great.

Taylor: He’s so good.

Ridge: We did it.

Taylor: We did it.

Ridge: We put some good citizens into this world.

Taylor: We really did. Teamwork, right?

Ridge: Yeah, partnership.

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: There was always magic in our marriage, wasn’t there?

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: I gotta go.

Taylor: Oh, no.

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: You’re not leaving right now.

Ridge: Stay by your phone. I gotta do something.

Taylor: Stay by my phone?

Ridge: Stay by your phone. I gotta go.

Donna: Look, douglas wasn’t in any danger. I mean, thomas was just a bit intense, and obviously, I wouldn’t have left otherwise if I thought so.

Brooke: Okay. Okay, well, I guess that’s reassuring. But what was the issue? Why was thomas so upset?

Donna: There’s– there’s this app that he’s–

Brooke: App?

Thomas: Hey, brooke. Oh, donna, I didn’t know you were here.

Donna: Uh, thomas. Hey, ah so did you and um, douglas figure everything out?

Thomas: Yeah. You know, just kids being kids, trying to push the limits. And sometimes you gotta lay down the law.

Brooke: It’s true. Well, if you’re here to see hope, she’s actually not here, so.

Thomas: No, actually, I wanted to see you alone, if possible.

Brooke: Oh. Oh, yeah. Okay.

Donna: You cool? Yeah. You know, I have to just get to work anyway, so I’ll call you soon. I love you so much, sis.

Brooke: I love you.

Donna: Thomas.

Thomas: Donna. See you at the house.

Donna: Yeah. See you at the house.

Brooke: So, I guess you know about the annulment, right? So you just came to gloat?

Thomas: No, no, I don’t want to gloat or rub your face in it. I mean, it is nice to see the good guys win.

Brooke: The good guys. Really? Okay, this isn’t about good or bad and I’m not some villain in your mother’s story.

Thomas: I mean, you kind of are.

Brooke: Like, if you came here to–

Thomas: You know what brooke? The reason that I came here was to just say, my dad has moved on. I mean, you know that he’s moved on from you, and he’s with my mother, and they’re very happy together, and they’re in love. And you’ve done the thing that you usually do, which is go back to him and try to plead your case, right? You did that in aspen. Just don’t do it again. All right? It’s really over now, and it should’ve been done years ago.

Brooke: It should’ve been done. What does that mean? Should’ve been done?

Douglas: Restore deleted files? Oh, man, really? Okay, let’s see what we’ve got.

Hey, honey bear. Okay, so that means this next one should be donna.

Donna: Hey, honey bear.

Douglas: Yes, they’re back. Okay, I’ve got to find that one of granddad.

Brooke: Hello.

I’d like to report a child

in danger.

His name is douglas forrester.

Hello is friendly…

Taylor: Okay, ridge. Come on. What are you doing? What? What are you talking about?

Brooke: Did you do something, thomas?

Thomas: No. What– what I mean is that my dad should have done this years ago, right? And he finally figured you out at least and moved on. He found my mother again and they’re very happy together. And they’re probably gonna get married.

Brooke: Because of you. Something you did.

Thomas: Of course, it’s something I did. It couldn’t ever be the fact that maybe he prefers my mother. You– from day one, you have just hated me. It’s like you never ever were on my side. You were never kind or supportive of me at all.

Brooke: Are you kidding me? I was there. I helped raise you. I was kind. I was supportive. It’s just been hard to support you these last few years because of some of the things that you’ve done.

Thomas: Hard to support me? You literally have never supported me once in the last couple of years. And if you had, then maybe I could’ve supported you and things would be different.

Brooke: Wow. I just don’t trust you.

Thomas: You know what? That’s fine. You never have trusted me. And you don’t need to trust me ’cause I don’t need your trust. I need my– my parents, I need my son. I need hope’s trust. But I don’t need yours.

Brooke: Yeah, well, if they do trust you, that could cause a lot of potential harm to people. I don’t care what you do to me. Just don’t you dare hurt my daughter or your sweet, loving son. I’m telling you, thomas, don’t you dare put douglas in danger ever again.

Brooke’s voice: His father,

thomas forester, is unstable.

He has a knife.

Brooke logan, please hurry.

Douglas: Why would grandma? She used my app?

Thomas: Hello.

I’d like to report a child

in danger.

His name is douglas forester.

He’s at 369 willow hill road,

los angeles, california.

His father, thomas forester,

is unstable.

He has a knife.

Douglas: Wait, does this mean…

Thomas: Brooke logan,

please hurry.

Douglas: Dad called cps on himself? Dupixent helps you du more with less asthma.

Taylor: Ridge. Ridge? Are you in here?

Ridge: Hey, doc.

Taylor: Hey, what are you doing?

Ridge: Can I ask you something?

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Do you remember being in this room many years ago? Sharing a great triumph with me.

Taylor: Oh. Yes. Yes, I do.

Ridge: Walking down the runway? Showstopper. Looking absolutely beautiful and luminous? It seems to me that we have an opportunity to pick up right where we left off.

Taylor: Uh, what do you… um. Ridge… yes. Yes, yes, yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes!

Thomas: His father,

thomas forrester is unstable.

He has a knife. Hey, bud. What’s with the guilty look? You deleted the app like I said, right?

Douglas: I started to, I did. But I wanted to hear the recordings just one last time.

Thomas: Recordings? I mean, you said they were all lost in some kind of glitch.

Douglas: Turns out you can restore them.

Thomas: I doubt that. You know, I don’t think donna really knows what she’s talking about.

Douglas: You can. It’s super easy.

Thomas: Well, you did it? You got all the files back?

Douglas: Yeah, got all of them back. All of mine. Even some others.

Thomas: Others?

Douglas: There was this one was grandma brooke’s voice. Remember when those people came asking all kinds of questions? Must be why they were here. Because of that recording.

Thomas: Yeah. You know what, bud? Sadly, your grandma brooke called C.P.S. On me. She doesn’t want us together. And that’s– that’s– that’s sad but I don’t, honestly, I don’t want you thinking about that. And I don’t even know how it got on your phone. It must’ve been some kind of mistake.

Douglas: I think it was on purpose. I think it got erased on purpose too.

Thomas: You know what? It doesn’t really matter, though, because you’re going to delete the app, right?

Douglas: I’m not a dummy, dad. Grandma brooke’s call, that was the processed voice, not the original.

Thomas: I– I don’t really think you know what you’re talking about here, bud.

Douglas: Yes, I do. I heard it. I heard you. You made that call in her voice. You did it so granddad would get mad and want to be with grandma taylor instead. Admit it.

Thomas: You know what, kid? You’re right. I called C.P.S. And you want to know why? Because your grandma brooke, she’s threatened to do it. Right before I did. She doesn’t want us together. She doesn’t want us living in the same home. And I’m not okay with that. I’m not going to allow that. And you don’t know how much happier your grandfather is with grandma taylor?

Douglas: No, but I know when something’s wrong.

Thomas: Exactly. And it would’ve been wrong for your grandfather to spend any more time with brooke.

Douglas: No, I was talking about you. What you did was wrong, dad. Reminds me of when we found out baby beth was alive. How you kept it from everyone?

Thomas: It’s not the same, douglas. And it’s not going to end the same either.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Are you nearly done? You’ve about worn out that carpet. Well, we can certainly afford to replace it. Now that you’ve decided not to pay for your mother’s ransom, would you calm down? I’ve told you I’m handling this well, of course you’re handling it by comedian. A major felony of your own

trip’s gonna be, okay, Ava, I’m gonna bring him back. Safe. Promise me Steve Promise. I promise I’m gonna bring him home. Safe and sound

Dam. Eva, why aren’t you answering my calls? I’ve tried being patient, but obviously you had no plan B when Egypt didn’t pay up right way to get some mother back. I’ve had some uh, Complications on my end. So you need to wrap this up right now. I’ll not my wife, find out what I’ve done for you

pregnant. Are you sure? That is what the test indicates, but it’s not possible. Are you not sexually? We are, but we use birth control well, um, as you know, birth control isn’t a hundred percent effective.

I assumed this is a complication

you wanna be with.

When I asked you that a few hours ago, you adamantly denied it. I know. I know. Wife, and I’m so sorry. Why did you marry me? Because I loved you

tense.

I still have feelings for you. You’re a wonderful man, right? Oh, don’t just, don’t you stop. Stop humoring me. Okay? Just tell me the damn truth.

When you realized that you could have Eric back, you regretted getting involved with me, didn’t you?

I was just.

A substitute for your real love

like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

I feel terrible. You don’t deserve this. You were so good to me. Oh, oh, stop. Just stop it, right? I don’t need you feeling sorry for me. You’re trying to absolve your feelings of guilt by telling me how good I was to you or whatever. I don’t give a damn about that anymore. Okay? I just, I just want the truth.

I understand. Okay. Okay, good.

You told me just a few hours ago you didn’t have any feelings for Eric. Yeah. I mean, you swore to it. In fact, as I recall, and I meant it at the time I did it, is just that things changed. Apparently everything changed. You honestly expect me to believe that you just had these feelings now since the last time I’ve seen you a couple hours ago.

No. Now these feelings, Eric, they’re not new. They didn’t just dawn on you. No, they didn’t. No. Okay, so we got married in June.

When you stood in front of me and you looked me in the eye, you promised to have hold and cherish me. Did you wanna be with Eric then?

No. No. Oh no. It was before we even sat our vow, wasn’t it? It was the moment that he came back into town.

No, be fun. When we, when Eric came back into town, I was, I was confused and I was infected in ways that I, I just didn’t expect. But, but when I looked in your eyes and I. My vows. I wanted to be with you. I wanted to be with you forever, so please, please don’t erase that. Why not? You just did.

He just told you, I don’t give a damn what you just told me. I wasn’t the one and you knew it. Hell,

please forget that I said that. I’m so. That is none of my business. I’m going to let you talk. Is there any chance that the test could be wrong? Uh, stupid question. I know these tests are very, very accurate. No, not, not a stupid question. Um, yes, they are very accurate, but I would be happy to run it for you again.

Just let me know. Okay? I am gonna let you two talk.

I dunno where to start, even know what to say.

Me neither. If only this. A happy surprise, but those seem to be in very rare supply these days, unlike unhappy ones.

Ah, Kayla, I thought you were working late. Obviously Steve is just comforting me. It’s okay, Ava. I am not. But I do wonder why you’re here. Tripp told us that you were moving to Seattle because of, uh, some problem you were having with ej. Yeah. Well, EJ doesn’t get to tell me what to do or where to go. End of story.

You call kidnapping Trip Johnson a felony. I call it a solid defensive maneuver. Tony, Eva put me in a corner when she took my mother. What else was I supposed. You pay the ransom , please don’t be in a standoff with this woman. She’s unpredictable and dangerous. Swallow your pride and just why the funds, Tony, me, you need to trust me on this.

I have no doubt whatsoever that my mother is safer because of what I’ve done. Not the opposite.

Bad day.

I didn’t see you there. That’s my surprise. I mean, given the way you barged in here and made a beeline for the bar, it’s obvious that you needed that drink. Just unwinding. What are you doing here? Chris was shopping. No, I’m working. Actually, today’s my first day at the Spectator. Hell of a start too.

You know, Paulina Price gets elected and her daughter gets arrested. Chanel was arrested for Madda. Yeah. You really don’t know the whole body town’s buzzing over it. Ah, I’ve been busy. I my first day of work too. Oh, so you were finally gainfully employed, are you? I am indeed. Well, don’t leave me in suspense.

Tell me everything.

Sounds like it’s a big problem with ej. Nope. Why are we even talking about that jerk? Just forget him. I said, I would help you, Ava, but I’m not gonna keep my wife in the dark. Keep me in the dark about. You know, and Steve’s gonna have to explain it. I’ve gotta take care of something.

I’m counting on you. I’ll keep you posted.

What’s going.

Trips been kidnapped.

I have a’s son, that’s checkmates. As soon as she will realize this and it will all be over. You seem awfully confident, don’t you. Now tell me how the negotiation’s been since you sent Ava a photo of trip being held at some point as she bombard with calls, a flurry of texts. No, I didn’t think so. She went ready, silent, didn’t she?

Give her time? A mother who’s desperate to save her son doesn’t need time. She replies immediately by saying she’ll do anything she can to get him back. She’s just trying to prove that she’s tough. Oh. Or she’s trying to give you a hint that she cares more about the money than she does the welfare of her son.

Hey, I know you think you have the winning move here, but it’s possible that what you’ve done, it’s brought you that much closer to losing your mother.

So the company’s called redneck, eh? Yes. A pharmaceutical startup. Right. Okay. That’s very exciting. Our job’s a job, right? And I needed the money buried under a mountain of debt from the Salem in as well. You know, isn’t your wife a doctor? Sarah’s still on probation and reduced salary on five bills to pay.

You know, it’s funny. In all the time we were together, I never remembered. You mentioning being interested in pharmaceuticals and, um, don’t companies like that hire people who are experienced in the field? Not necessarily. I mean, they, like you say, I had tons of potential and you know, I’m a hard worker and that’s an experienced con artist now what’s that supposed to mean?

It’s just that. While we’ve been sitting here, I’ve been discreetly scouring the internet for this so-called company and, um, can’t find a thing. Nothing. It’s almost as if it doesn’t exist. It’s brand new, a startup. So, I mean, there should be some sort of mention of it if it’s startup or not even a bare bones website.

But there isn’t. Just tell me. Why are you lying about your job?

Sorry. Fuck. I wanna be honest with you, but it’s, it’s complicated.

Well give it your best shot.

When I accepted your proposal, I wanted more than anything to be your wife. But,

but, but that was before I knew Eric left the priesthood,

so I was right.

I was right. You, uh, you regretted getting engaged. Pretty much from the moment I put that ring on your finger.

So our marriage was a farce from the beginning.

You got another unhappy surprise today. Is that what you’re saying? To me? Finding out that I’m pregnant is the last thing I expected.

This is the timing that’s really hitting me. The timing.

Can we please not pretend, I saw you about an hour ago, Eric, kissing your ex-wife.

You saw I went to Basic black looking for you, and there you were locked in what looked like a very passionate kiss with Nicole.

I guess shooting that magazine cover. Really stir up some old feelings for you.

Were you planning to tell me? Yes, yes. I was planning on telling you, and then Rave called to tell you I fainted, and now we know why.

Look, it’s been very obvious to me for a while now that Nicole has very strong feelings. But it wasn’t until today, until I saw the two of you kissing until I can see the look in your eye that you have right now that your feelings for her are just as strong. She just didn’t admit it. You want to be with Nicole despite.

Despite her marriage.

Call it what you want.

I will not call our marriage a farce. I loved you on our wedding day, and I still love you now. Just not enough.

You remember, do you remember we had a fight few weeks ago and I passed you? If you rushed into marrying me cause you were afraid of the feelings that you have for Eric because you said No,

it wasn’t. Was

and I were over for a long time and I, I felt neglected by him. And he felt guilty for not putting me first. We were never in sync. But you were in love, right? You were in love. That’s the point that I’m trying to make.

You were just tough. You just using me. You loved him. So I was convenient way for you to get over that. I was Your escape wasn’t I, wasn’t I to?

Okay.

I admit it. It’s made fun.

I’m so sorry.

Two minutes on a laptop and you’re convinced I’m lying. Deny it me once. And I know you, there’s a reason why you are knocking back all those drinks. You’ve had a stressful day. Hmm. Right. Here’s how I think your day is going. You need a job. Yeah. But, um, there isn’t really a job out there for a man with your very special, unique talents and the pressure is on because you have to provide for the new.

And, uh, you can’t let her carry the load on her own. Cuz that would be quite, um, humiliating, especially since all the other kayakers men are doing a fine cracking job at it. Yeah. So you put on that very nice suit and you tell the Mrs you are off to start your new job and then you pop out two wild away the hours at a coffee shop or a pub perhaps to make it look like you’re putting in eight.

Of work until you go home. Am I close? You think you’re so damn clever, Gwen, you can be further off base. I am working. Problem is the job that I took is just a wee bit illegal.

Travis been kidnapped. Ava came over here to tell me that, oh dear God, all we have to go on so far is that photo, which was taken a couple of hours ago, and what appears to be his apartment. So my guess is he’s not far from there. I’m so sorry. I mean, who would wanna do this? Who, who? I mean, what could they possibly want from trip?

I don’t know, but I know who’s behind it. E. You think EJ kidnapped? Your son looks that way. Oh, that son of a bitch. I’ll kill him myself. Favor, I’m concerned I haven’t heard back since I text you. My latest negotiating starts. Surely we can get these talks going again since we each have something the other wants.

It’s not in your best interest to ignore. Fine. I won’t. Oh, you are gonna wish you had just paid up a miserable son of a bitch.

Where’s my mother? Where’s my son? You lost your advantage when you kidnap. Now I’ve got as much on you as you’ve got on me hotly. Ooh, look at that. I make you nervous. You’re not used to that. Are you squaring off with someone when the odds aren’t stacked in your favor?

You have met your match and it scares the hell.

Play. Wait, Kayla, listen. Listen. When I heard about this, my first instinct was to confront ej, but that’s not the smart move. Not when trip’s. Safety is our priority. I don’t understand why EJ would do this. He threatened Ava to get her to leave Salem when she came back. I guess this is his way of making good on the threat.

What about Joey? Was he at the apartment when they came and took Trip? Joe’s fine. I talked to him. Apparently they covered their bases by getting trip to call Joe and tell him he went camping. But I think we should keep Joe thinking that, at least for now. I still don’t get it. Why would EJ involve trip in this if this problem is really with Ava?

I think there is something that she’s not telling you.

You wasn’t working for Ava and she had you turn, fuck. Well, at least I know where she went now, after I turned her down, she turned up when I was in hospital, she wanted me to get revenge on ej.

Didn’t expect to see you here or you. Sandra and I just bumped into each other. Yeah, after you were called into work, Victor and Maggie’s dinner fell apart and I didn’t feel like calling it at night yet. So popped in here for a drink and Zander has been filling me in on his new job. Fascinating. I’m sure there’s lots of things he hasn’t even told you about.

I never intended on keeping the truth from you.

The truth is, is I’ve been in denial about my feelings for Nicole for a while. A while is in the entire time we’ve been together. Jada, I honestly believe that Nicole and I were done. No matter what I was feeling, she was married to somebody else and I kept telling myself that I needed to accept it and move on with my life.

And that’s when you got involved with me, I think. I think you’re an incredible woman. I’m not incredible enough to make you forget.

I honestly thought I could go into a new relationship and genuinely give the best of who I am myself, no matter what I felt for Nicole, but I couldn’t. I’m sorry.

Get out.

I said.

That had to hurt because it really hurts saying it, oh enough. Walk away. Just go, no, I’m not gonna walk away. Until you understand that I loved you enough to marry you. I swear, Rafe, I thought if I committed to you and I went all in to be the best wife that I could be for you, that it would end my feelings for Eric once and for all and be the beginning of a lifetime of loving you well.

Wow. Nice try.

Blame you for eating me or you wanna cut me out of your life forever. But I want you to know, and when I said my vows to you, I meant every word and I wanted them to be the last vows that I’d ever said, oh, come on. That’s, if, that’s just when, if wedding vows ever meant anything to you.

That is not fair. Ra. Oh, sure it is. Marriage is just a game to you. No, that is not true. Well, I think that Victor and Lucas would disagree. EJ would disagree twice. Oh, please, RA, don’t do this. What am I doing? Huh? I’m just telling it like it is. I mean, you are who you are. Nicole. I mean, you, you, you even cheated on Eric.

The love of your life was Xander of all people. Why don’t you stop? No, I’m not gonna stop now, baby, cuz I’m on a roll. And while we’re here, why don’t you, why don’t you actually tell me how long you’ve been cheating on me with Eric? I haven’t been cheating.

Yes, Eric and I kissed today, but. It, it just happened. It wasn’t planned. You and I had a fight and Eric and I, we were, we, we were just in the moment. It’s all right. Well, you did what you’ve wanted to do for months now what happened next? Huh? Guessing that led to the conference table? No. No. We stopped right away and we talked.

Did you, what You guys talk about what you wanted each other? Even though, uh, Eric’s got a girlfriend and you have a husband, we acknowledged our feelings for each other and then what we’ve been suppressing for all these months now, God, that’s cuz uh, what’d you guys do next? Did you come up with a plan?

Plan, how you were. Break up with me and Jada as quick as possible so you can get back to your, your feelings.

Well, you got what you wanted, Nicole, and clearly in the end, that’s all that matters to you.

Honestly, I was quite surprised. To hear about the work that Zander’s doing? Quite shocked, actually. Shocked. Oh, why? Well, you know, pharmaceuticals not really something I thought that Zander was ever interested in. And, um, I didn’t even know that he was qualified to work in that, um, particular field, but, All know how very smart Zander is and what a good work ethic he has.

So, um, I think that they are very lucky to have him. Don’t you think? Yeah. I’m very proud of him

hospital and they might need me to come back

for a second there. I thought that you were, tell her. Why didn’t you

honor amongst thieves, I suppose,

and look, despite everything that’s happened, I still care about you thunder, as much as I would just love to boss you and Sarah up. Um, I don’t have it in me to hurt you like that.

Well, thanks. I guess,

so you are free to go about with Ava’s bidding, but as somebody who’s been there and dodged that bullet, All I can say is, well, best of British luck to you.

I’m sure Ava’s holding something back, but she didn’t admit it. Well, we can deal with that later. Right now, trip comes first. I’m gonna get on the first flight to Seattle. Well, you better make sure that there’s two seats because I’m coming with you. Oh, no you’re not. Oh, yes I am. You are not going up against EJ alone.

Wake up, Ava, your lost chance. Give me back my mother. Cause you don’t wanna find out what happens if you say no. All right. Well, you give me back my son first. And then we’ll discuss what it’s gonna cost you to get Susan back. I’m not gonna be strong armed by a piece of trash. Oh. Oh, I see. So you can threaten me, bully me.

Leave me homeless. John, you committed fraud. You used my son. And if not for my extraordinary compassion, you be in prison right now. You conniving Ingrid. Oh, watch it. Ej. You piss me. I’m gonna have to call my associate and tell him to put a bullet in your mother’s head.

Stop. Pastor, you’re lucky. You are lucky. You’re lucky that my father is here. Otherwise, you would’ve wound up in the Crip next to your fake husband.

Sweetness. EJ being behind. This isn’t a reason to come with me. It’s why you should stay home and let you fly solo while I sit here and stare at my phone. Not a chance. No. I’m gonna call John. I’m not gonna do it alone. I’m gonna get Black patch. On the case? No, you cannot put him on the spot like that.

Marlena just got out of the hospital and he needs to be with her. You know, you tell him about Tripp and he is not gonna be able to turn you down. Listen, I don’t even know what I’m walking into. I’m not gonna put you at risk. Have you already forgotten who came to the rescue in Hong Kong when somebody I know.

Was brainwashed, baby. You just got out of the hospital yourself. And I am perfectly fine now and I am not gonna stay behind while my stepson is in grave danger. I love that boy with all my heart. And if you are walking into danger to save his life, I am going to be there to have your back. Yes. There’s no arguing with you.

No, there is not. And let’s come back.

Go find Nicole. I’ll be fine. We haven’t even talked about, I don’t know what I’m going to do about this pregnancy, but don’t worry about it, Eric. It’s not your problem. Not my problem. Jada. I, I care about you in this pregnancy. We need to figure this. What’s there to figure out? You told me who you want to be with.

There’s nothing else to say. Listen, if you’re trying to give me an easy way out, I don’t want it. We need to make decisions together about this baby. All right? And I want to be here for you. I’m not just gonna walk away.

Five, but we’re not gonna come up with any answers tonight.

I’m exhausted. I need to close my eyes and regroup. So please listen to me when I tell you I need you to go.

You, Schumer. I’m.

I should give this back.

I shouldn’t have accepted your ring or your love.

I didn’t deserve it, and I, I didn’t deserve you.

You deserve someone who’s worthy of you, and it’s, it’s not me.

I did everything wrong in this marriage. And you did everything right?

Yeah, except that it wasn’t Eric.

Oh, Erica. Hey. Hey. Are you okay?

I was just with re Oh God. I told him everything. It was awful. I’m sorry. It’s done. So, um, how’s Jada?

Shit? Jada’s pregnant.

Okay. We make this flight. We’ll be in Seattle in five hours. Ah, what about Stephanie? She’s gonna wonder why we dis. Uh, with all that mess with Paul, and this is the last thing she needs to worry about right now. Well, I’ll call her and tell her that we’ve got outta town for a couple days. Okay? We’ll tell Joe and Stephanie everything after we rescue trip.

Come on,

leave, go assess your options. Soon you realize you’re loud. Now get out. Okay. But I’d start getting my money together if I were you. I am running out of patience. But worse comes to worse. I can always send you a lock of Susan’s sayer. Say you have something to remember. Bye. Do you want no idea who you’re with?

No.

This has gotta announce. Spare me the lecture. What lecture? I’m trying to help you face reality. Dammit. Don’t you understand that she’s unbalanced. Pay her off before something happens that you can’t control.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Clears throat ] Not to, uh, ruin the moment there… you’re fine. You’re fine. Yeah, we’ll continue this later. Besides… the moment is here. So, the, uh, genetic screening results are in? They are. Phew! Now we find out if I’ve passed the genes for schizophrenia on to curtis… and any generations that may follow. Hi. My name’s finn. I’m an addict. I hadn’t been to a meeting in two months. This is now my second in 24 hours. I… I guess I’m making up for lost time. Maybe I’m here to, um… avoid using. Or maybe I’m just avoiding my life right now. Or maybe a little of both. Jeff: Elizabeth?

It’s your father. Let’s talk.

You set the parameters.

Anywhere, anytime you want.

Just give me a chance.

That’s all I ask.

[ Knock on door ] Carly, now’s not a good time. You need to make time.

[ Knock on door ] Josslyn, it’s kiley! We need to talk!

[ Knocking continues ]

[ Groaning ]

[ Knocking continues ] Josslyn? I’m coming in.

[ High-pitched whirring ]

[ Tool clicking ] No!

The role of nikolas cassadine is temporarily being played by adam huss.

[ Lock clicks ] I don’t like it, either. It’s a shame to spoil the view. But security was more important. This room needs something strong enough to resist being pried off and thick enough to muffle the screams. Spencer: Trina. Are you okay?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Uh, ran out of hair products.

[ Chuckles lightly ] You really shouldn’t be here. Neither should you. But here we are. I just hope that I haven’t come too late. Too late for what?


Jordan ashford just dropped by my house an hour ago, and she told me you were found on the docks after a run-in with esme. What the hell happened? I was on my way to spoon island to see nikolas. I encountered esme. I went to call 911. She tried to grab my phone. Next thing I knew, I was lying on the ground and she was gone. Oh, my god. Well, does cam know? Yes. Does josslyn? I don’t know. I’m on my way to her place next. Josslyn: Oh, what are you doing? Um, did somebody give you permission to let yourself into my room? I was told you made a complaint about bedbugs. I need to inspect you room and get pest control in — oh, no, that’s — that’s not necessary. I don’t have bedbugs. All I said was that I heard a rumor. You sure? Yeah, I’m positive. Can’t even remember the last time I felt an itch. That is such a relief. ‘Cause bedbugs, they’re like a whole thing. The paperwork alone just — yeah. Okay. Well, today’s your lucky day. Great.

[ Both chuckle ] Anyway…carry on. Uh, what happened with the bedbugs? Nothing. Because I don’t have bedbugs. But you said — I can’t believe that you ratted me out to the R.A. I mean, kiley almost came in here when I was gone. What’s the big deal? You afraid they’d find your stash? I don’t have a stash. Then what are you hiding? I’m not hiding anything.

[ Loud thud ] You were saying?

[ Dramatic music plays ] Why don’t we go to my office and we can go over the genetic counseling results in private? Yeah. Okay. Good afternoon, everyone. Jordan. What brings you here? I was hoping I could speak to portia for a second. Oh, well, you know what? We’re actually right in the middle of something right now, so… well, I will keep it brief. Marshall: Uh, you know what? This day has been a long time coming. We could afford to wait a few more minutes. Oh. It’s okay. Uh, I’m fine. I still have to pick up a report from the counselor. Anyway… your office? I was on my way anyway.

[ Chuckles ] Ugh! Nikolas: Thank you, demetrius, for a job done well and discreetly.

[ Sighs ] You can’t do this to me!

[ Door closes ] Ensure that you’re safe and well cared for? Including a healthy breakfast to start your day. You don’t get extra points for feeding your captives. I like to do what’s fair. Like, your utensils here are all plastic and recyclable. Sadly, you’ve lost silverware privileges.

[ Chuckles ] I won’t miss them for long. Once elizabeth baldwin tells the police that you were with us on the docks last night — if elizabeth said anything about me, the commissioner herself would have sought me out for questioning hours ago. Even if she did, esme… no one’s gonna look for you here. This is your home now. And if you attempt to escape again, I will have you relocated to my family’s island in greece. You look like you could use a vacation. You’re despicable. Count your blessings, esme. The acco mmodations hereare much nicer than pentonville. Though you’d make a better fit at d’archam.

[ Scoffs ] I am not going to prison. But you will. This… will blow up in your face. Doubtful. But if it does? There is no risk I won’t take to protect my family. I’m your family, too. For now.

[ Door closes, lock clicks ] Aah!

[ Tray clatters ] Welcome to pentonville. Sorry I can’t offer you any refreshments. I think that today might be the butler’s day off. I’m here for the company anyway. Such as it is. Imprisonment has stunted my conversation skills. In here, the less said, the better. Sounds lonely. Better off lonely than making enemies. Or the wrong kind of friends. Well, the right kind are waiting for you back home. Me included. You said we were toxic. That’s because I didn’t have all the facts. Because you were keeping them from me. And asking cam to keep them from you. I’m not here to talk about cam. Okay? I’m here to talk about you and me. To see if there’s something left to salvage. And if you even want to. Mr. Cassadine, you have a visitor. Demetrius, I told you no visitors. And I was informing demetrius, the way things are going, I just might get him in the divorce. Keep an eye on the matter upstairs. The north tower? The place is falling apart. Which is why I’d prefer we meet anywhere else. This is the only place that can guarantee privacy, and this particular matter cannot wait. What matter might that be? Your boarder.


Finn: Hey. Alexis: Hey. If it makes you feel any better, I haven’t been to a meeting in two months, either. We’re really bad. Worst. The worst. I’ve been very busy. I’ve been bogged down with that paper. And I know I should be grateful because it is a job, after I lost the one that I loved. Yeah, but, you know, you got to — you got to celebrate these small victories. Mm-hmm, let’s celebrate the small victories. No, you got to do that, you know? And you’re not the only one that has that opinion. You know, my dad, all — all he talks about is, uh, you and the invader… and you. And me, and me, and the invader, and your dad, and anything except talking about what it is that you were trying to avoid during the meeting. So, what was that?

[ Dramatic music plays ] Carly: God, this is crazy. I just want this whole thing to be over. The sooner they find esme, the sooner we can put this whole mess behind us. Do you really think she’s running around attacking people with a hook? Don’t you? I don’t take anything for granted these days. Elizabeth? Are you sure you’re okay? Oh, I never said I was okay. My boarder? Uncle nosy? Slick vic? Victor isn’t my boarder. Not yet, anyway. Oh, he hasn’t moved in yet? Lucky for you. Well, I happened to see your uncle just last night, and he dropped the most unsettling piece of gossip in my lap. About what? Esme prince… is alive and well and roaming around port charles. Apparently, elizabeth had a run-in with her on the docks, and she called the pcpd. Are you listening to me? The cops are after esme. So we got to find her first.

[ Dramatic music plays ] Are you offering me the chance to fix things between us? Yes. I am. Why now? Because it was impossible before. You weren’t straight with me. How much can one person truly mean to another if you can’t even be honest? You should ask my father. I’m asking you! At my party, the night before you came here… there was a letter for me, but you refused to hand it over. I told you the gist of it. Why are you rehashing this? Because I need to hear it from you. What were you trying to tell me that night? That I lied to your face for months. That I believed in you. And that I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that you were innocent. Trina, I always have. That it? Yep. Here it is. You know, I don’t have to be here for this. You’re gonna take off? Well, all I’m saying is it doesn’t have to be a family affair. Well, that’s exactly what it is. Unless you just don’t want to be here for this. No, no. No, I do. It’s just, uh… you got all quiet. I thought maybe you wanted some — some space or privacy. Actually…

[ Sighs ] Actually, I was thinking about jordan and portia… and how they’re making a show of getting along. Of course, you know, that’s all it is. A show.

[ Chuckles ] What? Your ex-wife and your fiancée are only pretending they get along.

[ Chuckles ] Son, if that’s the worst that ever comes of it, count yourself lucky.

[ Sighs ] Good point. Yeah. Back to you. Back to me. What’d I do? Well, dad, you offered to leave, and you can’t just head for the door every time things get a little hairy. Okay, okay. I did that for your comfort. Like I said, I thought maybe you wanted some space. No, just — just you being here. Pop… I wouldn’t want to do this without you. Come what may? Come what may.

[ Breathes deeply ]

[ Breathes deeply ] So, we gonna do this? I’m ready when you are.

[ Exhales sharply ] What is it now, jordan? I’m picking up on some tension here. Oh, this right here? This is resentment. I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve that, but — well, then you are a lousy detective.

[ Scoffs ] Or just plain disingenuous. Either way, you’re sticking your nose into my business again. My family’s private business. Curtis’ genetic counseling and what may or may not come of it has absolutely nothing to do with you — nothing to do with his ex-wife. I’m here to inform you that esme prince has been spotted in port charles. What do you mean? Where? Pier 55. There was an altercation last night between esme and elizabeth baldwin. But elizabeth — is she okay? She’s fine. I’ve notified trina, and I wanted to loop you in, as well. Thank you. But we both know you could have said all of this in front of curtis, right?

[ Chuckles softly ] I intend to keep my interest in your family professional, not personal. I have no idea what you choose to tell curtis and what you don’T. But it’s clear you still haven’t told him that trina may be his daughter. So someone else ought to?


y, look, if I am avoiding anything right now — and I’m not saying that I am — oh, you are. Right, I… things are just really messy. Okay, well, I’m here, ready to listen. Okay. What if you told me but you left out all the details? I appreciate the offer. Not ready. Okay. Not ready. But when I am… you’ll call me. You’ll find me. And if you can find me, then you’ll find somebody else. Because we have to talk about it. ‘Cause you know what happens when we hold back. Yeah, I know. I know what happens when we… listen, I found out something. I… found out something about reiko. She was having an affair. Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. How’d you find that out? Doesn’t matter. Just all these things that I thought about my marriage, about myself, and… I just — I don’t know what to do with any of them. Well, you don’t have to know that right now. I mean, take some time, you think about it, and I’m sure you’ll figure it out. In the meantime, have you talked about this with elizabeth? Thank you for stopping by. I really do mean that. Um, but unless there’s something else, I was kind of in the middle of something. Scrapbooking? Decluttering. It’s too much stuff in the house. I sometimes get the urge to declutter. And when I do, the first things to go are usually the things least personal. That sounds like a good system for you. This looks pretty personal, elizabeth. I mean, these are family photos. It’s really none of your business. Are these your parents? Parents? Yes. Family? Not even close. What have you got in there? Or is it a who?

[ Sighs ] Okay. Can I trust you? I swear. What’s going on? I have a cat. A cat? It’s just a stray. You know, I saw some frat guys harassing it, so I swooped it up and I brought it back here. Aww. You know, I just — I really don’t want to get caught before I can get it a new home, you know? Cool. You’re a good person, joss. Thanks. So are you. I mean, if you don’t say anything. Your secret is safe with me. Alright. Hey, joss… any chance you could put in a good word for me with trina? Trina’s seeing someone. But if that changes, I’ll send her your way. Thanks. See? Good person.

[ Chuckling ] Yeah.

[ Dramatic music plays ] Dex. Dex, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Are you with me? Dex? Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Okay, that’s fine. Hey, come on. Come on. Come on. Dex. Dex! Ugh!

[ Gasping ]

[ Door opens ] I’ll clean this up and get you an early lunch. When I saw you at the pcpd, I knew. I knew you were innocent. I knew that esme set you up. There could be no doubt. Do you know how badly I needed to hear you say that? I thought that it was more important for me to stay close to esme so I could find something that would prove your innocence. Ah, okay. Well, that explains why you played esme, but not why you played me. I wasn’t playing you. You kept me in the dark! Because you’re honest. And when you’re going up against a liar like esme… you don’t think I could have pulled it off? I was not going to risk esme finding out.

[ Scoffs ] Deceiving you was the best thing for you, trina. You sound just like curtis. He also does what he thinks is best for me, but it’s just like — I have a lot to apologize for, trina, but protecting you — I’m not going to apologize for that. Spencer… I don’t fault your motives. Your intentions are golden. But I would have felt more protected with you at my side. And maybe — maybe you’re right. Who’s to know how things would have turned out if — if you told me how you really felt? But let me tell you one thing. It hurt that you thought so little of me… …when I thought so much of you. So, is that “someone else” you?

[ Knock on door ] Come in. Hey. I see you’re still at it. Hi. No. We’re done. For the moment. Yes. Jordan — she — she gave me the heads-up about something. It turns out that esme is back in town.

[ Sighs ] Okay, well, then let’s forget about this and go get trina. No, no, no. Jordan already warned trina. And trina knows to be vigilant and keep a lookout. I already went over that with her. But trina wouldn’t want us to hold up this news any longer. Not on her account. So, is that — is that the report?

[ Sighs ] Yeah. I got a message from the genetic counselor. Mm-hmm. They’ve been delayed. But, honey, I can’t wait any longer. Marshall: Look, um… you know your stuff, right? Can’t you tell us what it says? It’s, uh — it’s up to you.

[ Chuckles nervously ]

[ Exhales ] Yeah. Please. Oh. Okay. Okay. Okay, let’s hear it. What chance does curtis have in developing schizophrenia like I have?

[ Dramatic music plays ]


Portia?

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] Is it bad news? There are 10 genes that are, um, tied directly to schizophrenia. 10 genes with ultra-rare disabling variants that promote the, um — the development of the disease. And how many do I have? None. None?

[ Laughing ] As in…? As in zero. A-as in curtis is in the clear. Talk to elizabeth. She can help sort out your feelings about reiko. Just talk to her. Yeah… that might not be real productive at this stage. Why not? You remember all that messiness I mentioned? Who do you think you’re talking to? I’m the queen of messy. And don’t let this thing with reiko put a wedge between you and elizabeth. Talk to her… before the silence does the talking for both of you. Carly: I don’t think I’ve ever met your parents. They might as well be strangers. Haven’t spoken to them for 25 years. 25 years? You haven’t talked to your parents in 25 years? Not until two days ago, and let’s just say that conversation will hold me over for another 50.

[ Chuckles wryly ] Are yo u really gonna burnall that stuff? Well, that’s why it’s in the fireplace. Hey, hold on a second. I don’t have any photos of me and bobbie when I was a kid, and I so wish I did. I know all this feels more like a burden than a blessing right now, but… one day, that might change. And you’re gonna really regret burning all of it. I remember the look on your face when I asked you how you could make that video of joss and cam. I saw how much it hurt you. I hated myself. Almost as much as I hated pretending that I still cared about esme.

[ Scoffs ] Sounds like it. I’m not saying I suffered. Now the way you did. You didn’t have to go down that road. And look where it got you. In here. And if it was hell for you to think about what might happen to me… …it was just as bad seeing what’s actually happening to you. Honestly… I didn’t know you cared. Oh, give me a break. You knew! I was clear how I felt about you. Can you say the same? If you ever returned my feelings… you never said so. You didn’t even try. Did you?

[ Dramatic music plays ]


[Phone vibrating]

[Elevator music plays]

[Music gets louder] Esme’s had months to pull the trigger on us. She hasn’t made her move yet, which tells me she knows her accusation won’t be believed. Maybe she’s just biding her time, waiting for the opportune moment to do maximum damage. I don’t think that’s the case. I don’t think you’re giving esme enough credit. The longer she’s out there, the more time she has to come up with the way she can hurt us the most. And one way or another, she will do that. Unless we hurt her first. Demetrius? Um…you seem like you’re a good person. You seem like you care. I-I don’t mean for me, of course, but for nikolas. And don’t you see that he isn’t well? He’s got me locked up in here against my will. If he were in his right mind, he would never be doing this. Please… for nikolas’ sake, call the police before this gets any worse for him. Maybe I’m not so good at talking about that — oh, please. Stop. …Kind of stuff. Yeah, if you couldn’t bring yourself to tell me, maybe you could have, I don’t know, put it on paper?

[ Chuckles ] In a letter? The letter is long gone. But I’m not! I’m here . This would have been so much easier over the phone. You know, I tried calling you the other night. You didn’t pick up. I didn’t hear the phone ring. Oh, good, I thought you were ignoring me. No, I was in a hotel bed fighting to fall asleep. I’d just spent a very long day at a comic book convention in new york. Comic convention? You? Since when are you interested in the x-men? I’m not. Rory is. Mwah!

[ Laughs ] Yes! Yes! I knew everything would be alright, dad.

[ Laughs ] Well, I didn’T. Portia. Does this mean curtis has no susceptibility? No more susceptibility than average. Nothing inherited from you, marshall. And I-it’s — it’s actually strange, uh… how so? Well, the odds of curtis dodging some of the relevant genes are good enough, but all of them?

[ Stammers ] The chances of something like that happening are just very… they’re very slim. Well… but… …my son must be very, very lucky.

[ Dramatic music plays ] Dex? Come on.

[ Groans lightly ] Yeah. Come on.

[ Groans ] Okay. Listen. You cannot stay here. You — you need to get off the floor. I’m fine here. No, no, you’re not. You’re burning up. Alright. Come on, soldier. Get up. Come on. Come on.

[ Grunting ] Alright. Alright. Come on. Use me. Use me. Yep.

[ Groans ] Oh, okay. Okay. We need to get you to the door. Alright? What are you doing? Come on. We need to get you to urgent care. No, no. Just help me into bed. Dex — please. Please, joss. I’m about to fall over.

[ Groans, wheezes ] I’ll be fine. I just… I just need to hydrate.

[ Scoffs ] You need antibiotics. And if you won’t go get some… I’m gonna need to bring some to you. Dr. Finn. Commissioner ashford. It’s always nice to see you. What can I do for you? I was looking for elizabeth to follow up on last night. Do you know if she checked herself out? I-I wasn’t aware that she had checked herself in. What happened, and why do you need to follow up with her? If you see her, please let her know I’d like to speak to her. That’s a good point. I will keep that in mind. Yeah, but you’re still gonna burn it all, right? Is there anything else, carly? ‘Cause if you don’t mind, I would really like to get back to what I was doing. Yeah, elizabeth, I know that we’re not really friends… but we’ve known each other a really long time, and I think that we know each other pretty well. And I’ve never seen you like this. It’s new to me, too. I’m reevaluating. Reevaluating what? Relationships. With your parents? With anyone I haven’t given birth to. Okay. Look, if you need to talk to someone and no one’s around — it won’t come to that. But thank you. I appreciate the offer. Yeah.

[ Match strikes ]


Drink this. How are you gonna get antibiotics? Let me deal with that. Do not move from this bed. Joss. I owe you. Big time. And I plan to collect. Josslyn.

[ Dramatic music plays ] Jordan. Hi. Glad I ran into you. Um, my office has been having a little bit of a problem trying to schedule that interview. Interview? Yeah. That you promised. An exclusive, in exchange for my not printing the letter from the killer. Uh, I will speak to my assistant and we’ll get something worked out. Awesome. Thanks. Hello, gregory. Um… I’m beginning to think that, uh, jordan is giving us the runaround, so I think this might be time to activate that insurance policy. So, I don’t get it. Isn’t it a good thing that I don’t have those genes? No, no, it is. It is. It’s just… it’s just highly anomalous. Marshall, have you ever had any sort of genetic screening at all? No. None that I know of. But I was diagnosed a long time ago. Right. The 10 genes screened in this test were just discovered a few years ago. Does it matter? No, not really. Not at all. No, no, no. This is great. Honey, this is wonderful news, and this is worth celebrating.

[ Laughs ] I have got to take care of something really, really quickly. Will you please just give me one moment? Yeah, no. Sure, baby. Do what you — I’m so happy for you. Yes. Thank you. Do what you got to do. Okay.

[ Exhales sharply ] Think I’d better take off, too, son. So soon? Dad? What’s wrong?

[ Sniffs ]

[ Sobs, stammers ] I’m happy, man. I’m just happy. I was so scared. Scared for you, curtis. I was scared. Scared of what I might have left with you. Well, now, let me go. You don’t — you don’t need to see me like this. Hey, hey, hey, hey, dad. Remember the whole reason you stuck around, right? You were here through the bad times. So you got to stick around through the good. With all due respect, I insist.

[ Chuckles lightly ] Yeah. Come here, pop.

[ Crying ] Oh! Jordan. Jordan. Um, we got the results back from the genetic screening, and I just want to let you know that there is no danger of curtis developing schizophrenia. That is a relief. Thank you for telling me. But that still leaves an unanswered question. Is trina taggart’s daughter? Or curtis’? Did you and officer cabrera have fun in new york? We’re not talking about me and rory — well, we might as well. Cabrera’s a good guy. Better than most. Spencer — I’m glad for you. You deserve a good guy. We’re done. No, we’re not! Time’s up. One more minute. You can at least do that for me. The inmate has already had one visitor today. Anybody special? My grandmother, trina. She told me that esme was spotted back in port charles. I know. Please be careful. Wait, wait. Please. Okay, I… I have something to tell you. I’m grateful for what you did for me. Even if it was the wrong thing. I know what you meant by it. Goodbye, trina. Ava: If you’ll excuse me… we should continue this conversation later. Dinner at the metro court? Nikolas… I have nothing more to say to you. Not until you come up with a plan to make sure that esme doesn’t open her mouth. I promise I will never let esme hurt you or anyone else I love ever again. If only you kept your promises as easily as you make them. Please look out for nikolas. You’re the only one who can. Mr. Cassadine has always looked after me. And if you allow it, he’ll look after you, too. Trust him.

[ Door closes ]

[ Screams ]

[ Door creaks ]

[ Dramatic music plays ] Man: Excuse me, I’m looking for nurse elizabeth baldwin. Uh, I’ll see if she’s working today. Who may I say is asking for her? Her father. Finn: Jeff webber.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

[ Knock on door ] Back so soon?

Connor: Thanks.

Adam: She’s 100% right. Tonight is a big night, so we need to get focused.

Victoria: Oh. Well, that sounds like a good time. I’ll have to tell you where grandpa’s secret mini bar candy stash is for the next time you have a chocolate craving.

Connor: Dad, stop. It’s not that big a deal.

Sally: You’re up bright and early. Of course, you have a job to get to. I actually get to enjoy my day.

Adam: Well, you don’t have to pretend like you enjoy being unemployed, especially when I know you too well to buy it.

Sally: Well, I would enjoy taking some time off if I knew I had something else lined up soon.

Adam: Oh, I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before recruiters blow up your phone and try to scoop you up.

Sally: That has not been my experience. At all.

Adam: Well, something will turn up. Just don’t expect me to offer my help, because you said you do not want any.

Sally: Well, good.

Adam: You can do this on your own. You are smart, you like thinking outside the box, and you don’t have a problem with letting people around you shine. Letting you go was a dreadful mistake.

Sally: Hell yeah, it was. Newman media’s loss will be someone else’s gain.

Adam: You know, nothing would make me happier, seeing you get the job that you most deserve, sally.

Adam: You looked like you were thinking deep thoughts when I walked in. Is everything all right?

Adam: I, uh — I still haven’t heard from chelsea, so I’m hoping that she’s all right.

Dr. Malone: Were you able to sleep last night?

Chelsea: Not really. I just have a lot on my mind.

Dr. Malone: Do you want to talk about those thoughts?

Chelsea: I just keep thinking about how I got here and what I need to do next.

Sharon: Hey, thanks for coming. You’re right on time.

Billy: Thank you. I, uh — I’m really eager to hear what chelsea’s therapist said.

Sharon: Well, she thinks that things are moving along in a positive direction.

Billy: Okay, I guess that’s good. I mean, it’s a little vague, but that’s to be expected.

Sharon: She was able to share something significant.

Billy: Right.

Sharon: Chelsea mentioned that she might be ready to tell adam and connor what’s been going on and where she is.

Billy: Okay.

Sharon: The more people she has in her support network, the better.

Billy: Yeah.

Sharon: And I’ve been a little worried about connor.

Billy: Yeah, no, for sure. I mean — I mean, I’m sure he’s worried, as well. I’m sure he’s wondering where his mother is and if she’s okay.

Sharon: But you still have reservations about bringing adam into the situation.

Jill: All right, so we have to figure out what we’re going to do with this ipo.

Lily: Um, I mean, honestly, jill, I’m on the fence. Devon’s completely opposed to it, but, I mean, after the dust with nate settles, he could change his mind.

Jill: Well, isn’t it a shame that billy isn’t here so we could get his input, since he hasn’t officially tendered his resignation yet? Okay. There’s no denying it. He is avoiding me. He knows he’s going to get the lecture of his life.

Lily: Well, I guess he’s doing something important.

Jill: More important than the future of our company?

Lily: He’s helping a friend through a traumatic episode.

Jill: What friend?

Lily: Chelsea.

Jill: Aha. And how worried should we be about that situation? This is the sound of better breathing.

Allie: We really are the perfect fit, you know?

Noah: Is that because I’m hilarious, and you’re working on cultivating your sense of humor?

Allie: Oh, there you go, making jokes again, whereas I live on the land of logic and reason.

Noah: Mm.

Allie: I’m just saying we balance each other out.

Noah: Yeah, that’s true. I do like when you get creative, though, like that one time you got real creative when jack left the house, and we had it all to ourselves.

Allie: Oh. You have to stop.

Noah: And you went into the kitchen. You whipped up that great dinner. What’d you think I was talking about? Oh, you’re bad. Yeah.

[ Both laugh ]

Allie: I love you. Mm. You are the worst. You know that?

Noah: Oh, just awful. And late. I do run a business now, you know.

Allie: Go. Go to your club. I am gonna go to the lab after I answer some e-mails.

Noah: Want to synchronize our watches, meet back up later?

Allie: Let’s wing it.

Noah: Oh. Daredevil.

Allie: Mwah. All right. Get out there. Make some money.

Audra: Hey.

Billy: Look, sharon, I don’t care how this affects adam personally, except for the fact that he’s the one taking care of connor.

Sharon: Well, we need to let adam know that the more honest and truthful we can be with connor about what his mother’s dealing with, the better. Being vague could just lead connor to misinterpret this, misinterpret it to think that his mother’s mental health issues are something that he should be ashamed of or something that he should feel guilty about.

Billy: Yeah, no, that’s the most important thing right now, is making sure that he does not feel responsible for the situation that his mother is in.

Sharon: Okay, so we’ll work with adam to keep things age-appropriate, but also to put things in terms that connor can understand and process, like his mother needed help but didn’t know how to ask for it before. But now she’s getting all the care and support she needs from experts and friends.

Sally: Maybe chelsea just needed some time to herself.

Adam: I have a really bad feeling about this. And I know how this sounds, but I think billy and sharon know what’s going on, and they’re keeping it from me.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Clears throat ] It’s billy. He, um… he wants to meet.

Sally: Well, hopefully he gives you the answers that you’re looking for.

Adam: Yeah. Hopefully. Sally?

Sally: Yes?

Adam: Thank you. I get bladder leaks.

Adam: Well, I suppose i should be grateful that you’re finally going to tell me what is going on.

Billy: Adam, I’m trying to do the right thing right now, okay? I don’t need the attitude. And I’m not about to spar with you. This is about chelsea, not our grievances.

Adam: Okay. Where’s chelsea? She okay?

Sharon: Um, your instincts were right. Chelsea had some setbacks emotionally, and she’s getting care now in a treatment facility.

Adam: [ Scoffs ] And I’m just finding out about this now? I mean, do you have any idea how hard it has been to explain away her sudden disappearance to our son and to reassure him that his — his mother is all right?

Sharon: Well, I am sorry that we couldn’t tell you everything as it was happening, but chelsea was in crisis, and we had to make her the priority.

Adam: I-I get that, and — and I’m glad that she’s getting the treatment she deserves. But what happened? I mean, did something precipitate this? And why is she in treatment and not in an outpatient therapy? I mean, billy, I understand why you’d want to keep me in the dark on this, but come on.

Billy: Adam, I don’t envy the position that you’re in with connor. Okay, but this is not ideal for anyone, especially chelsea. And things got very serious for her. And I’m trying to do the right thing and take my cues from the people that know how to handle this better than I do.

Adam: When, uh — when am I able to see her?

Billy: Chelsea’s therapist said that she’s ready, and chelsea wants to be the one to tell you everything.

Adam: Well, the doctor didn’t need to use you as an intermediary, billy.

Sharon: Billy is the one person chelsea really trusts right now. We’re all trying to work together here, adam.

Audra: When will you stop punishing me?

Jill: I’m honestly not worried about billy’s involvement with chelsea at all. I mean, apparently, she’s going through a difficult time, and she’s become a mission for him, while he’s on his quest for self-fulfillment.

Jill: Well, good, then i don’t have to worry about that complication. I only ask because they did that podcast together.

Lily: Yeah, that was another mission.

Jill: Okay. Let’s talk about the real reason that we’re here. If we decide to move ahead and take chancellor-winters public, we have to decide what’s the best way forward, given this nightmare situation with nate and then billy’s genius decision to step down as coo. Because we can’t have the merest hint of any instability at all in our executive ranks.

Lily: Yeah, jill, I completely agree with you. That’s why I wanted billy to step down. I don’t want him staying here out of some misplaced guilt.

Jill: No, no, no. It’s not misplaced. It’s where it belongs, right on his shoulders.

Lily: Well, I’m the one who told him to leave so that it could be a clean break.

Billy: Hey. Sorry I’m late. And I’m sorry that I haven’t returned your calls. I’ve, uh — I’ve just been — I’ve been busy.

Jill: Yeah, so I’ve heard.

Billy: I know we have some pressing matters to discuss, so shall we?

Jill: Well, I guess I can assume that it’s because of that decision you made to totally abandon the company and lily for no good reason.

Billy: Lily knows that she still has my full support.

Lily: Um, well, I have a meeting to get to, so I will let you two discuss. Good luck.

Billy: Well, I know you’re upset with me, but —

Jill: Don’t, don’t, don’T. I’m not interested in hearing your apology speech. I want to know what the hell is going on with you. If you’re on medicare,

Noah: Why are you doing this?

Audra: What is it that you think I’m doing?

Noah: Constantly showing up wherever I am, wanting to talk, insinuating yourself into my life.

Audra: We were important to each other, even if you decided to walk away.

Noah: Hey, our relationship was toxic. I walked away because I had to.

Audra: And this is healthy? Pretending like we never happened? Not even acknowledging each other’s existence?

Noah: Oh, I’m well aware of your presence. You made it impossible not to be.

Audra: You know, when you do actually talk to me, it’s always like this. This mean tone. You get so intense and combative when we’re around each other.

Noah: Well, then I guess we should just keep our distance.

Audra: You know, whenever i see you with your new girlfriend, you’re never harsh or angry.

Noah: Yeah, that’s ’cause we have a healthy relationship.

Audra: But you don’t seem truly excited or euphoric. You’re just there.

Noah: Don’t do that.

Audra: Can’t stand an honest observation from someone who knows you intimately?

Noah: Look, will you just tell me what you want? I’m happy now, audra. I don’t want to do this with you anymore.

Billy: Why don’t we start from the top? Let’s go back to how all of this began.

Jill: Okay. You walked away from jabot.

Billy: And you paired me with lily because you wanted me to have direction and focus.

Jill: But not just focus. You were destroying all of your relationships. You were gambling again. You were in full-on self-destruct mode.

Billy: And you gave me a soft place to land, and I will be forever grateful for that. Mostly because you brought lily back into my life. Falling in love with her was by far the best thing that has come from this.

Jill: You are so lucky she’s willing to put up with you.

Billy: No, I know that. And I’m not just talking about in our personal life. I mean, she is so good at her job. She and devon both belong here, and they are very excited about expanding their family’s legacies.

Jill: I co-own this place. This is your legacy, too.

Billy: I know that, which is why I initially threw myself into this and committed to it. But if I’m being honest with me and — and you, I-I need something else.

Jill: Well, that sounds very vague, doesn’t it?

Billy: I don’t know what it is yet. I just know that I need to feel passionate about what I’m doing. I want to wake up in the morning and feel fired up. And — and I understand that I’m letting you down, and I’m letting lily down. And it’s not easy to admit, but I can’t stay in a position at — at a job that just doesn’t fill me up anymore, okay, just to simply appease everyone else. So go ahead. Have at it.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Door opens ] The abcs of ckd and I’m going to tell you about exciting medicare advantage plans that can provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. With original medicare you are covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits but you have to meet a deductible for each, and then you’re still responsible for 20% of the cost. Next, let’s look at a medicare supplement plan. As you can see, they cover the same things as original medicare, and they also cover your medicare deductibles and coinsurance. But they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. Now, let’s take a look at humana’s medicare advantage plans. With a humana medicare advantage plan, hospitals stays, doctor office visits and your original medicare deductibles are covered. And, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. With no copays or deductibles on tier 1 prescriptions, and zero dollars for routine vaccines, including shingles, at in-network retail pharmacies. In fact, in 2021, humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $9,600 on average on their prescription costs. Most humana medicare advantage plans have coverage for vision and hearing. And dental coverage that includes two free cleanings a year, plus dentures, crowns, fillings and more! Most humana medicare advantage plans include a silver sneakers fitness program at no extra cost. You get all of this for as low as a zero-dollar monthly plan premium in many areas; and your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana’s large network. There is no obligation, so call the number on your screen right now to see if your doctor is in our network; to find out if you could save on your prescriptions, and to get our free decision guide.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Chelsea: I’ve gone over this moment a million times in my mind, but I don’t know what to say.

Adam: Well, you — you don’t have to say anything unless you want to say something.

Chelsea: How’s connor?

Adam: He’s okay. He misses you. But, uh, I’m taking care of everything.

Chelsea: I knew you would. I’ve never been worried about that. I always knew, no matter what happened, you would always look after connor.

Adam: Well, I-I don’t know how much longer I can keep up the, uh, “your mom will be back soon,” routine. But, you know, maybe the situation would be a little easier to navigate if I knew a little more about why you were, uh, here.

Chelsea: Well, it’s kind of hard to explain. I mean, everything was fine… at first. It was — it was like a-a day at the beach, where everyone’s on the sand having the time of their life, but I’m in a raft. And I’m okay at first, but then the waves start crashing in, and… nobody notices. And I don’t want to be a burden, so I don’t say anything.

Adam: And no one — no one knew how much trouble that you were in.

Chelsea: I was drowning. Dying a little bit day by day, being dragged out by this raft, and — and no one could see it. And the raft just started filling with water, and nothing was working. I think, um, you know, after rey died, uh — I really miss him.

Adam: I know. I know that the two of you, you were very close.

Chelsea: I did unforgivable things, yet he always saw the good in me. And I was mourning him. And then I quit my job. And then I lost chloe. And then connor was so upset with me because I told him about johnny. And then I lost him, too. And I just feel like… I don’t belong to anyone or anything, and I just started to feel really lost. And I just wanted it to go away.

Adam: You wanted what to go away, chelsea?

Chelsea: The pain. My problems. Everything.

Adam: [ Sighs ] When — when you were on the roof, chelsea…

Chelsea: I know what you’re thinking.

Adam: No, no, you have — you have no idea what I’m thinking. What I was thinking was — was, “thank god that billy was there for you.” I’m sorry. I’m sorry, chelsea, okay? I — if I had known, if I had — had seen — this isn’t about me. This is — this is about you. You are all that matters. And if I have not told you that enough, I am so sorry. Okay? I am glad that you’re still here and that you’re getting the help that you need.

Jill: Do you know how much I love you, billy? You’re brilliant, and you’re clever. And you can talk your way out of anything. But when in the name of heaven are you going to figure out who you really are?

Billy: Can’t I just be a work in progress?

Jill: Stop that. What the hell are you doing with your life? And I got to tell you, the last part of it, it goes at lightning speed. And that’s why I want to take chancellor public, okay? ‘Cause I want to look back on my career and know that I made a commitment, a commitment to do my very best and to have a really good time doing it. And that’s what I want for you.

Billy: I’ll get there.

Jill: Of course I want you happy. Of course I want you fulfilled. But the trouble is, this is not the first time that you’ve made an impulsive decision based on restlessness.

Billy: I don’t think I’m the same guy that I was when I was at jabot, mom.

Jill: But you got the same issues.

Billy: Yeah, right, and maybe I have to break those patterns, just like I have to break the pattern of — of staying in an uncomfortable situation to make everybody else happy.

Jill: I’m not talking about everybody else. I’m talking about you. Here’s what I’m afraid of. I’m afraid that you’ve never really learned the truth about bright, shiny objects. Yeah, they’re really exciting at first. They’re really titillating. But, billy, they fade. That is life. You have got to learn to stay engaged. Do you remember that word that your father used to say all the time?

Billy: Stick-to-it-tiveness.

Jill: Yeah, that’s the one. You do remember.

Billy: Yeah, I remember. I think about it often. I think about him often.

Jill: There is so much to be said, billy, for determination and loyalty.

Billy: I think I’m a loyal person, mom. And I think what I’m doing is best for this company. Just happens to be best for me, too.

Jill: Okay. I just don’t want you to come to the end of your life and to look back and see that you wasted all this time chasing after something that doesn’t exist. It would break my heart.

Lily: Hi. I hope I didn’t come back too soon.

Jill: I’ll be in touch.

Douglas: Keep sketching like this, douglas. You can stay up as late as you want. Maybe even quit school.

[ Beeping ]

Thomas: Keep sketching like this, douglas. You can stay up as late as you want. Maybe even quit school.

[ Laughs ]

Thomas: Are you still playing with that app? I said enough.

Ridge: What app?

Douglas: Oh, it’s really awesome, granddad. It lets you see something–

Thomas hey, I said enough already. Kid’s driving me nuts with this thing.

Ridge: So before cell phones, there were just two cans and a string. So much simpler.

Douglas: Why?

Thomas: Well, it was a long time ago. Don’t you have homework to do?

Douglas: Can I have my phone back? May I have my phone back?

Thomas: Yes. Stay focused, okay?

Ridge: We didn’t have apps when I was a kid.

Thomas: You know what? Some of those apps can change your life.

Hope: So, it’s true. You sign the annulment papers?

Brooke: Oh, yeah. Ridge and I are no longer married, sweetie.

Hope: Mom.

Brooke: It’s what he wanted. You know? As difficult as it was for me, I wasn’t going to stand in his way.

Hope: Even though you still love him?

Brooke: Yeah, I do. I do love him and he loves me. And it was quite obvious. I was signing the annulment papers, and he was just staring at me, with tears in his eyes. You could see how much this really bothered him. It was hard for him, you know?

Taylor: Hey.

Finn: Hey, taylor.

[ Laughs ] What? I was just stopping by to surprise steffy before my shift.

Taylor: No. Yeah, she was here. She left. I stayed behind and doing some work emails.

Finn: Nice.

Taylor: So is that a flat hot extra– white extra–

Finn: Flat white large espresso steffy’s order.

Taylor: It’d be a shame for it to go to waste, right?

Finn: Yeah.

Taylor: Oh, I need this.

Finn: So she told me about the big news, ridge and brooke. Sounds like they’re ending their marriage. Can’t imagine how you feel about that.

Taylor: You know, I have a lot of feelings about ridge ending his marriage to brooke.

Finn: No doubt.

Taylor: Yeah. You know, he didn’t even tell me that he was doing this today. But I know how much he cares for her. This… this was a really hard decision for him. I– but, you know, I am happy and I’m happy that ridge is finally free of brooke.

Brooke: I’ve asked myself over and over. How did it get to this point? Annulling our marriage. Living separate lives when we still love each other so much.

Hope: It doesn’t even makes sense.

Brooke: No, it doesn’T. And I’ve been spending every waking hour trying to figure it out. And now because of what ridge said earlier, I think I have an answer. The reason that ridge and I are ending our marriage is because of thomas.

Ridge: So we’re on, right? You and me on the tennis court, after you finish your math problems?

Douglas: Sure. You’re up for it? Last time I ran you all over the court.

Ridge: Please.

Douglas: Sorry, grandad. Just teasing.

Ridge: It’s okay.

Thomas: All right, you. Time to get upstairs. Do your homework.

Douglas: Okay.

Thomas: All right.

Douglas: Bye.

Thomas: Bye. Still so bothering you, huh? Seeing brooke, and the annulment.

Ridge: You know what? I wish there were an app. Make her tell the truth. Gave her another chance to come clean about that phone call she made to child protective services.

Thomas: And?

Ridge: And nothing. She’s not taking responsibility for any of it.

Who’s on it with jardiance?

Finn: Did you think that when you returned to L.A., This is how it would turn out?

Taylor: Ouf. I mean, if by this you mean ridge ending his marriage to brooke and not because she let him down again, but because he just wants to spend the rest of his life with me? Nope.

Finn: Hmm.

Taylor: Look, brooke and I have a long history. We’ve always played by different rules. As a matter of fact, she didn’t have any rules when it came to ridge. She just… was in it to win it, you know? She didn’t care who she hurt. It was impressive. And very frustrating.

Finn: Yeah, but I get why you feel the way that you do. You had a family with ridge, and brooke just wanted ridge for herself.

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, look, I know that brooke loves ridge, obviously, right? But I’ve always wondered, you know, does she really want him or does she just not want me to have him? You know? That’s why signing these papers will be the hardest thing she’s ever done in her life.

Finn: Yeah, well, I know what it’ll mean to my wife to have her father finally free of brooke. Steffy’s wanted this for so long. Thomas too.

Taylor: Yes. Yes. Me and the kids love ridge so much. We just want him to live his best life. You know, I just don’t think consistent happiness could ever be possible as long as he’s with brooke.

Hope: So you think your marriage to ridge is ending because of thomas?

Brooke: Something to do with thomas, yes.

Hope: Okay. Well, what makes you feel that way?

Brooke: I don’t know, it’s like what ridge said earlier. Just that… somehow thomas was tied to the annulment papers in some way.

Hope: Okay, well, how? What does thomas have to do with that?

Brooke: I don’t know. I mean, it’s like ridge wanted me to admit something. At least, that’s the way it seemed. And ridge knows the tension that I have with thomas, and he knows that I don’t agree with him that he’s changed. But that’s no reason to get an annulment. I just see thomas differently, that’s all.

Hope: Well, in all fairness, mom, you don’t just see thomas differently. You– you’re pretty vocal about it. You– and you make it very clear that you think thomas is still being manipulative and obsessive and–

Brooke: He is and he’s fixated on you all over again. It’s obvious, honey. He’s just better at concealing it, especially from his father.

Hope: Did you tell ridge that?

Brooke: He knows how I feel about his son. But I did remind him that thomas has created issues in our marriage in the past.

Hope: I have a sneaking suspicion that ridge did not like hearing that.

Brooke: Well, he also didn’t like hearing that I said his son was untruthful.

Hope: All right, mom. I’m going to need you to tread very carefully with what you are accusing, thomas of. Well, wait, I’m sorry. What even are you accusing thomas of?

Brooke: I don’t know, honey. But like I said, ridge made it seem like the annulment papers and his son were tied together somehow. So that kind of raises a red flag, right? It seems like there’s more to it.

Thomas: So, brooke didn’t admit to calling cps on me?

Ridge: No.

Thomas: I hate what she’s putting you through, dad. But this is what brooke does. Right? It’s classic brooke logan. She does something terrible, then she plays the victim. I mean, it’s just a horrible person.

Ridge: How about we take it easy on her?

Thomas: This is what she always does to you, dad. From day one, it’s hurt, heartbreak, embarrassment and betrayal. This is your wife who did it to you. And I can’t even imagine how that must affect you. But she saw an opportunity to make me, your son, look like the bad guy, as she always does. And then she played the victim. But thankfully, we heard the call every damning word in her own voice, and we promised walter we wouldn’t say anything. I haven’t said anything. You didn’t say anything to anyone, right? The virus that causes shingles is sleeping…

Finn: I’m just going to ask you this because I’m curious. Do you have any idea why ridge pulled the plug on his marriage?

Taylor: I mean, besides wanting to be with me?

Finn: Well…

Taylor: No, I honestly, finn, and I don’t know, but whatever it is, I’m grateful.

Thomas: You haven’t said anything to anyone about brooke and cps?

Ridge: I’ve told no one.

Thomas: Not even mom?

Ridge: Not mom, not steffy. Could you imagine if she found out about this? But that’s– that’s enough. All right? Let’s not talk about that anymore. Let’s talk about good stuff. Let’s talk about you being a big star. What you did for hope for the future. I’m so proud of you.

Thomas: Well, thank you. I’m always okay talking about that.

Ridge: And I’m so sorry about what brooke put you through.

Thomas: Ah, not a big deal honestly, it’s because– because you brought everything out into the open, right? So it was worth it?

Ridge: Yeah, maybe it was. Just can’t believe she would do that to you. To me.

Thomas: You know what? Let’s not talk about the bad stuff and brooke anymore. Let’s just let’s move on from that. Let’s move forward to the good stuff. You and mom being together now that those annulment papers are signed. Have you told her?

Ridge: Have I told her that I’m no longer married? No. I thought I’d come here.

Thomas: Well, why don’t you go tell her? She’s at forrester with steffy right now,

Ridge: I can’t, because I’m going to beat your son in tennis.

Thomas: No, no, no. I’ll tell him. He’ll understand. All right? You should go. This is an incredible moment. You get to tell mom that you’re going to be together. And today, tomorrow and forever. And there’s nothing brooke can do about it.

Hope: Mom, you know how much I love you. But I’m afraid if you start to go down this road–

Brooke: My instincts are usually right, honey, when it comes to thomas, if he did do something to try to sabotage my marriage.

Hope: You don’t know that.

Brooke: Well, I didn’t before today, but after the way ridge brought up his son, it’s just a feeling, one I can’t let go of. If thomas did do something to interfere with my marriage, if he did something underhanded , that is something ridge will not tolerate, no matter how much he loves his son.

Ridge: Hey, donna. Where’d the honey go?

[ Laughing ]

Douglas: Gotcha.

Donna: Yes, you did. That sounded exactly like your grandfather.

Douglas: I know.

Donna: That’s the app that you love so much. Right?

Douglas: Yeah, it’s really cool, but could be cooler.

Donna: Oh, yeah? How?

Douglas: Well, it’s kind of glitchy. I mean, all the saved voices I made are gone, so I can’t go back to listen to them.

Donna: Well, I betcha there’s a way to restore them.

Thomas: A way to restore what?

Donna: The voices that douglas had saved on his voice app, they’re gone.

Thomas: Douglas, you still playing with that app? What did I tell you about this? You want me to take your phone away from you again? Because keep disobeying me. I will. Is that clear? Super emma just about sleeps in her cape.

Taylor: Okay, that’s fine. Yeah. Just see if she wants to reschedule. Okay. All right. Thanks, audrey. Bye.

[ Door opening ]

Ridge: Thomas told me I might find you here.

Taylor: Yeah, I’m here.

Ridge: He told you, didn’t he?

Taylor: Yeah. The annulment papers. Are you okay? Is your marriage to brooke really over?

Ridge: It’s over. My marriage is over.

Hope: I mean, mom, you– you have to know that by continuing these attacks on thomas, you’re only going to drive ridge further and further away. And I know that’s the last thing that you want. I mean, have you– have you maybe tried going to ridge and… and telling him that you will try to view thomas through his eyes the way he sees him. I mean, I know that wouldn’t be easy for you, but it might help. And knowing how much ridge means to you, then–

Brooke: Yes, of course. He means everything to me, honey. He is my everything. And as much as I want a life with him, as much as I want to be with him, I just can’t embrace thomas like that. I don’t know what it is. I don’T. But there is something evil about thomas and ridge can’t be blinded by it.

Thomas: You shouldn’t be encouraging him, donna.

[ Scoffs ]

Donna: I wasn’T. I was just suggesting to restore the–

Thomas: The voices on the voice recording app, yeah, I heard.

Donna: Okay, thomas, it’s just a harmless little app.

Thomas: It’s not harmless.

Douglas: Dad, I’m sorry.

Thomas: I told you repeatedly, I don’t want you playing with it.

Douglas: I know, but–

Thomas: But nothing. Okay? You deliberately disobeyed me. That’s not okay.

Donna: Okay, thomas, stop douglas, I don’t even mind that you keep tricking me like that. It’s funny. I mean, it’s pretty brilliant how it actually sounds like somebody else’s voice.

Thomas: You’re not helping, donna. This is between my son and me.

[ Sighs ]

Donna: Sorry.

Thomas: Okay, look, bud, this is not a game, all right? This isn’t just for fun. I told you to stop doing it,

Douglas: But, dad–

Thomas: But nothing. I told you to stop. So just delete it from your phone. Okay?

Brooke: I don’t trust thomas, and I never will. More and more, I really think he’s responsible for ending my marriage, and I’m going to find out exactly what he did.

[ Sneezing ] Are you okay?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Bonnie went to the shed. Yeah. No, I mean that’s right. We were talking about centerpieces and she said the garden shed. I back. That’s right. What the hell is she doing down there?

Who are you and what are you doing here? I know who you are. You’re, you’re Susan Banks. Oh my God, honey. Who?

A brother with a gun to his head.

Oh, sweetness. Come on. Haven’t we established that I can fend for myself when you’re working late? Yeah, well, I stopped by the pub, had a bullet chatter with your brother and uh, then he insisted on telling me all about his new fly fishing rod. No, I’m not getting any ideas. Okay, listen, I’m just gonna have one beer and head home, so don’t work too hard.

Yeah, I love you.

Hey buddy, haven’t seen you in a long time. Hey, do you mind if I join you? Well, I don’t think I’d be great company. Oh, what’s going on? Nothing good.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

God, honey, did this to you.

Oh. Oh my goodness. How Kiki did you come back from the dead to save Me? Oh, no, honey. Oh wow. Lord Sent Heavenly me. You. Oh, hardly. I’m Bonnie Kikis. Oh, you Justin Sch new wife. Yeah, that’s, oh my God. Definitely has a specific time. Doesn’t name show. If the Lord didn’t send you, then who did? Coincidence came down for a couple of planters.

Well, I mean, there is no coincidence. It’s the Lord and he’s working in mysterious ways. Okay, speaking of mysterious ways, honey. Who did this to you?

Come on. Trip. Trip. Pick up. Damn it. It went straight to voicemail. I guess EJ wasn’t kidding with that photo. Yeah. Well, he’s gonna find out that he messed with the wrong Vitali. Do you really think EJ is gonna pick up? You know what? It doesn’t matter.

Ej, listen, you son of a bitch, you lay one finger on my son and I will kill you. Well, it’s nice to see that you care about the health and welfare of one of your sons. Really, really? Whining right now. I mean, EJ Damara could kill trip and it’s still, mommy loved him best. Huh? What is something funny? No, I just, I think EJ definitely bested you and you can’t say that you didn’t have it coming,

buddy. Listen, are you sure you’re not just jumping the gun here? I mean, so Eric took pictures of Nicole. That’s work. That doesn’t necessarily mean there’s anything going on, but there is. There is. Look, it’s not just the photo shoots. Okay. Yeah. Ever since Eric came back into town, there’s been this, so Paul, between he and Nicole, are you sure you’re not just being possessive?

I know dudes can do that sometimes, so I’ve. Look, I keep finding them in each other’s arms and there’s always an excuse, but after a while, you know, well, I understand why it’s not exactly ideal for your wife to be working with her ex, but that doesn’t necessarily mean those, uh, explanations aren’t true. I mean, they’re still friends, right?

Good friends, Steve, I believe. But they were always and will continue to be more than friends. Okay. They were divorced, it was messy. Eric took off, he came back, and then Nicole hired him so they can work together, be together, cuz um, they never stopped loving each.

What are we doing? What we’ve been wanting to do for months?

Looks like your precious trip isn’t getting out of this anytime soon.

EJ doesn’t waste any time, does he? I have to call Zander. You don’t wanna do that. Trust me. Would anyone, uh, like a drink Bob? Waiting for Bonnie? I can murder a beer.

What now? Ah, sorry. I got a text. Dam it. This is something emergency at the office and gonna have to call in. I’m so sorry. An emergency. It’s this hour of the. At a pharmaceutical startup, who knows what it could be, but it’s a good sign, right? That they need him

clown. Yeah. I mean, you don’t see that very often, do you? Do you mean like a clown? Like some kind of joker? No, I don’t mean a clown. Like some kind of a joker. I mean a clown with a red nose and a shelter bottle only. He didn’t have a shelter bottle because he needed to tie me up cuz you wanna need his hands free.

Um, But honey, it wasn’t a real clown. Yeah, he just said he was, he’s a man dressed up as a clown. He was in disguise so that I wouldn’t be able to tell who the kidnapper was. Okay. Why would someone wanna kidnap you? You know what? I just don’t know. I don’t, but you know what? The man, the clown, the man dressed up as a clown.

Well, he has a Bosh co name, the Ring mesh. You heard the cold? No, no, I made it up. I’m very creative and being tied up because really boring. So could you just tell me where we are in Keri’s Garden? She, why are you here at the garden? Chicago Nu. I came down to get a couple of lanterns from Maggie and Victor’s 11th anniversary.

Oh, that my, I gotta tell you, wherever this club was, he sure as hell know how to tie a mouth. Thanks for the compliment.

So this pull between them, have you spoken to Nicole about it? Yeah, the knife. And what’d she say? She denied it. But you don’t believe her like that, Steve, that’s not the point. She doesn’t want to admit it to herself, let alone to me she, she doesn’t want to feel this way. She just, Dude, I know it’s hard, but maybe you just need to trust her.

That’s good advice. Yeah, exactly what I said to Jada. All right, Jada. So does she think, um, Eric and Nicole are.

Well, she, uh, certainly gives every indication that she believes that. Yeah. Because every time she sees Eric and Nicole together, she finds a way to tell me all about it. So you think Jada is serious about Eric? I dunno, I don’t know that. Well, I think she thinks that it’s serious. Um, uh, she always talks about, uh, Eric being God’s gift to the world.

Pretty sure he feels that way. Wow. Well, Jada has a tough exterior, but she is still pretty young. She’s new to town. She’s got no. It’s got a new job, man. I hope this whole thing doesn’t end in end in tears. Yeah. All the way around. We, we haven’t been fighting this for months. We , we just lost our heads for a all.

I didn’t. I kissed you just now because I wanted to. That’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now. I mean, every time I’ve seen you actually, and every time I fight it, it just gets stronger.

Eric, I want you, and from the way you kiss me, just.

I think you want me too, Nicole. We were once married. We’re always going to be attracted to one another. This is more than just an attraction. The way I feel about you now is the same way I felt when we got married and years before that. Can you honestly say we just lost our heads and there’s not a hell of a lot more to it.

You got married and you, you just got home from the courthouse and I was at your, your doorway. Do you remember? I remember

I was there because I wanted to tell you how I felt about.

Just after even Pauling his wedding, it just seemed like we should just talk. But that’s when I found out you and Rafa just got married, so my feelings didn’t really matter anymore. Wait, no, that, that’s, that’s not true. It’s fine. It’s just with briefing. I’m.

Fuck you and, and Jada. I mean, it’s a thing, but it it’s not what we have. She knows it. Believe me. She knows it. What are you saying to me? That’s your break with Jada and you break up with Raven. We just let the chips fall. They may. I mean, Jada and I, we haven’t, we haven’t made any promises or anything like that.

I mean, we’re getting to know each other really. But Nicole, you’re married. It matters That really matters.

Okay? Now, I’m not saying you’re right or you’re. But if you’re this jacked up about it, I think you need to tell Nicole how you’re feeling. I did. No, no. What I just heard you say was that you asked her how she’s feeling. What you need to do is tell her what you just told me. Okay. Not the advice I was expecting from you.

Well, I know Kayla and I have had more than our share of ups and downs over the years. And one thing I know is that you can’t solve a problem by ignoring it. Right? Yeah. Well, point taken. Point taken. Hmm. So can we change the subject? How about those cups? Yeah. Hey, Jed. Oh, fancy seeing you here. What? Well, I, I meant, uh, because you live here.

Oh, yeah. Great. Are you okay? Uh, actually, I, uh, I got some work things to go over with Rafe. Okay, well, I’ll leave you too. Hang in there buddy. All right. Okay. You.

So what’s going on?

Give that to me. Are you really gonna let EJ get away with this? You’re just gonna give up 20 million. I don’t care about the money. I only care about trip. Yeah, we know that. The important thing is EJ knows that, can’t you see? He’s bluffing. He’s not gonna hurt trip. This might be photoshopped for all we.

But if you give Susan up, you give up any leverage that you have. Okay? And then what am I supposed to do then? Nothing. Nothing. What if you are wrong? What if you are wrong? And EJ does hurt trip, mom. You are reacting like EJ wants you to react. He wants you emotional, not rational. This is my son we are talking about.

Yes. And because he’s your son, you’re e quivering mess. You kidnapped E J’s mother. Did he fall apart? No, he regrouped and he went straight for your Achilles heel. Because EJ is ruthless. That is what you need to be right now. We both know that you’re up to that particular task.

It’s up to you. Are you going to beat EJ at his own game or cave like a house of card?

You get away from her? I tell. I will say back. Sit that down. Stay back. Listen lady. You do not want me to lose my tender. If you don’t wanna be stirred like a male, hey, get outta here. Not gonna happen. How?

Xander has a very important new job. Sarah. Tell Mathusla, hear all about it. He’s an executive at redneck. Why would rednecks need an executive? No. Red Max. It’s a pharmaceutical startup and he’s in upper management in charge of the entire sales department. I, if it’s so major, why haven’t I heard of it?

So you kidnapping me now too. I bet your boss didn’t count on a two for one deal, did he or she? This isn’t gonna work, you know? Do me a favor.

Who did you decide to call someone who can make this all go away?

Steve Johnson. Steve Hit’s. I need to see you. It’s an emergency

Now you’re playing the game.

Something’s going on at the station. Uh, not exactly. Okay. But something’s bothering you. I just saw Nicole and Eric at Peace Black. Oh yeah. I know. I was there when he showed. You were there. Mm-hmm. . I went to talk to Nicole about the pictures you told me about, and um, turned into another big fight. I’m sorry.

Yeah. Turns out I was all ticked off about Nicole modeling four, Eric, but it only got better from there because I found out that Nicole was gonna be in pictures with Eric on the cover of Bella. You were kidding. No. No wonder you got in a big fight. Yeah. Um, I’m tired, so. Okay. Yeah. Well, obviously you feel the same way about this whole thing as Ivy Jada.

Hey, Jada. Jada. Hey Jada. Jay,

Bri and I have been fighting. So much lately, and I hate it. I hate it because I know the kind of man he is. He’s, he’s not jealous, he’s not possessive. He just wants to know the truth, and there’s part of him that knows that I’m keeping something from him. Oh, God.

And the last thing I wanna do is hurt him. And I love him. I do. And this, this should be a good marriage, but it’s not. It’s not because I, oh God. And he was so right about this. He was so right. I married him. I married him. Sorry, I could forget about. It is such a horrible thing to do to him, and I did it to a man and he deserves so much better.

No wonder if you wanted to forget about me. Look at the way I treated you when we were married. What kind of man would marry a woman like you and then run for the hills?

I live with so much regret. I’m sorry

we really screwed things up, didn’t we? All the pain

and after all that, I, I may still love you.

I always will. I think.

Eric, I just, I had to say this to you, but if you don’t wanna be with me,

it’ll hurt. Oh God. Will it hurt?

I’ll accept it.

But no matter what I, I need to end things with RA because it’s not fair to treat him like a consolation fries, because every time I look at him, all I can think about is being with you.

No, I house is away. I,

I know no one can hear me. It’s okay. It’s okay. Maggie knew I was coming down here. Sooner or later, someone’s gonna find us. Rednecks sounds made up to me. You’ve really never heard of it. How could he? It’s a startup. You know, 90% of all startups fail. Stop that right now. Not to worry. Most of those failures didn’t have Senator Cook in the key management.

You, uncle Victor, is your faith in me that keeps me going.

Happy anniversary, Maggie. Oh, thank you. Many, many, many. I’m gonna think that one over. So what was the emergency? All taken care of. Hmm. Oh, now, now it’s my turn. The hospital , yes, but the ER is really understaffed, so here a happy anniversary. Mom. Victor, I’m sorry. That’s okay. Don’t wait up. Well, I guess it’s just gonna be the four of us for dinner.

Maybe we should just call the whole thing off. No, no. You and Victor are gonna have dinner together and start to work out two differences. Let the healing begin and Bonnie and I will, what is keeping her? She should have been back by now. She’s been abducted by aliens. Well, I’m gonna go and look for her.

Thanks for seeing me. What’s going on? Trip told me EJ forced you to leave town. Yeah, well, I came back. I don’t like being pushed around. I never knew that about you. Okay. But EJ somehow found out that I broke the deal. So what’d he do? Threatened to send you to prison? Oh. It is much worse than that.

Son.

Should I go?

If I stay, you know what that means?

I think we both know what it means

and

it’s like you and I gotta do the right thing. I can’t stay with Jada, especially when my heart belongs to someone else.

As, as angry as I was with you. I never stop loving you. Thank you,

Eric. This time we, you, no, we are not. You gotta screw it up, I promise. Yeah, let’s not.

It’s ra what?

Hey ra. What’s going on Eric? Listen. I’m at the hospital. You gotta get down here. It’s Jada.

Well, thanks Joe. Yeah. No, no, everything’s fine. I just want to check in with you. Love you too. All right.

Trip told Joe he was going camping. Yeah, right with a gun at his head.

All right. It looks like this picture was taken in his apartment in Seattle. I don’t think EJ would take it much further than that. Wait a minute, this doesn’t make sense. So EJ is mad at you for coming back to town. He kidnapped trip. That’s overkill and it’s way too risky. Hey, what’d you do, Ava? Nothing. I don’t believe you, but I don’t have time to drag it out of you.

Where are you going? Where do you think I’m gonna get EJ to release trip and then I’m gonna shove his teeth down his throat. Okay. No, Steve, you can’t do that, do you? You cannot go talk to him. You just can’t. Why the hell not Ava

have my phone? Wait. Damn it. Oh. God put some water in my pocket when that jerk grabbed me. Did you see my phone anywhere? Hey, come on. Where do I get food? Maybe Xander’s right? Maybe Bonnie did fall. I’m gonna go look for her. The hell you are. It’s dark out there. Xander. Why don’t you, uh, offer to go? I was just going to, I.

Oh, Maggie did, did I just hear your phone? I think maybe you got a text. What? Oh, oh, it’s from Bonnie. Something came up, uh, with Mimi. She’s on her way to Chicago. Happy anniversary. Oh, well. At least we know she’s all right. Ugh. Can’t breathe again. Los Xander looks like it’s just gonna be the three of us. Oh, absolutely not.

It’s your anniversary. You don’t need a third wheel. You wouldn’t be Sandra, please stay. Have a nice romantic dinner, Sarah, and I’ll be in touch soon. We’ll set something up. Sandra, wait. Um, fix her. Don’t you wanna congratulate Sander on his new job, or do you wanna spend the night in the garden shift?

Sander, congratulations on your new job. Don’t be so enthused. It was fine. Maggie. Heartwarming. Thank you Uncle Victor. Have a lovely dinner. I’ll walk you out. Huh?

At least you broke the ice. You did. Thanks for trying. Oh, he’ll come around and even if the evening it didn’t turn out as planned, things are starting to look up for you and Sarah.

Appreciate her. What happened? What’s wrong? Sarah’s examining her now. Uh, we were at the pub talking and she’s fainted. What room is she? Sarah? Hi. She, uh, well, she’s much better. She’s alert and talking. Okay. Why, why does she faint? I’m thinking it’s low blood sugar. She said she hadn’t eaten much today. Um, but we drew some blood, so we should have some.

Can I see her? Yeah. Yeah.

I told Cook there would only be two of us for dinner. You know, after all these years. I still get tickled when I say cook. There’ll just be two for dinner.

Oh, I think he was a little disappointed. I’m not. Hmm. I can tell. Well, so sue me if I went you old to myself on our anniversary, Barry, you was the best thing that ever happened to me. Then I think this would be a very good time for you to echo the sentiment. It would only go to your head, which is already swollen enough, , even if it is the truth.

You know what we are, Maggie? Mm-hmm. Lucky. Mm. Damn lucky. Yeah.

You just thought I’d check on you too,

just as well, even though no one can hear you. Like I told you, people know I’m here.

You sent Maggie a text. You’ve been called away. Family emergency. So thinking up and made me, I’m on my way to Chicago. Happy anniversary. What? Are you gonna keep us in here forever? Look. As soon as our son pays up, you’ll both be out of here. Hopefully there’ll be any moment. Now you’re not going to get away with this.

It’s so stupid of you to deal with the deras. You know what? And the Cga family is now gonna come after you. Your life. Stupid is gonna suck in more ways than you can imagine. How do you know about Mimi? You know me. You know me.

Why don’t you want me to talk to e j? Because he’s furious with me. You know how vindictive he is, and if he finds out that I told you, who knows what he is gonna do to Chad, what is it? You’re not telling me nothing. You’re a. Steve, what the hell? Does it matter why or how this happened? Please just go find trip.

Please. Look, our son, he is a good guy. He’s just like his father and he doesn’t deserve this, Steve. He doesn’t deserve it. Of course, I’m gonna find our son and I’m gonna bring him back. Thank you. Thank you.

I was still with Eric in the office when you called. Uh, I just wanted to see if Jada was doing all right. Yeah, well, uh, Sarah said it was just low blood sugar. Oh. Eric’s in there with her.

Can I get you anything? I mean, do you want some water? I’m fine.

It’s a good thing that re was there when he fainted. Yeah, he was there. There. Jada, is there something wrong?

What’s, uh, what’s going on? Well, I wanted some privacy. Yeah. Um, to say I was sorry about.

I was making a big deal outta nothing. Mean the cover shoot. Like it’s just work, right?

No, Rafe, um, you are right.

It’s, it’s more than that. I, uh,

Just say it.

I, uh,

I wanna be with Eric.

Okay. So, Before I went to go see Rafe, I went somewhere else.

Hi. Oh, that was fast. Um, the lab hasn’t finished your full blood work panel yet, but I did get some preliminary results and I think I know why you painted. Really? Um, what is it? Eric, um, I think I should speak to Jada in private. Oh, um, sorry. No, it’s, it’s okay. I, I want him here.

Are you sure? Okay.

Oh my.

I’m pregnant.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

mmm. Good morning, darling. Hello. Did you sleep well? Oh, you know, you would think the adrenaline rush would have completely kept me awake, but it didn’T. I slept like a baby. How about you? I slept enough.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Gasps ] Oh, sonny. Hi. Good to see you. Ohh. Hell of a night, right? Yeah. Hey, mom, um — I-I told you I was just with some friends, and it got late, but they walked me back to my room. Yes, I’m being careful. I promise. I won’t be alone. Um, I’d like to speak with the manager. You’re supposed to be serving, not surfing. Well, i am the manager. And I’m sorry. I’ve just been trying to reach joss all morning. Are you worried? I mean, kinda. She hasn’t responded to my texts. Have you seen her on campus? Well, today’s my late class. I mean, I’m sure she’s fine. Want me to try her? No. No. It’s okay. I’m probably overreacting. Just a little on edge with all the attacks that have been going on. We all are. Especially given the latest news. Yeah. So you heard esme’s back in town? Not until now. I have been waiting for months to be able to do this. Ohh. And I can’t believe you let me get away with it.

[ Chuckles ] Well, you are the mayor. You look thin, spencer. It’s probably the ill-fitting clothes. Are you doing okay in here? Yeah. Things could be worse. I’m being looked after. That’s good. Who’s doing the “looking after”? Hey,

spinelli. It’s austin.I wonder if maybe you could give me a call and let me know that you’re gonna do the favor that I asked you to do for me. That’d be great. Damn it!

[ Coins jingling ] Hey. I got it. L-let me get it for you. I got it. Oh, that’ll teach me to polish off a bottle of beaujolais on a school night. Right. Well, you know, the french government doesn’t release the new beaujolais till, like, the third week in november, so technically, it was probably an old beaujolais, but, you know… what can I get you? Club soda.

[ Can rattles ] Thanks. I didn’t know you were a wine aficionado. I’m not at all. I dated a girl in college who wouldn’t shut up about wine.

[ Coughing ] Hm.

[ Coughing ] Don’t worry. I’m — I’m okay. Could’ve fooled me. I need to see you right away. I’m in my office. Who are you? Sorry, commissioner. I tried to stop him. Agent whitten, with the U.S. Marshals service. Thank you, officer clark. Shut my door, please.

[ Door closes ] I’m here to talk to you about — let’s get something straight. I don’t give a damn if you’re a marshal, cia, or one of the avengers. You don’t barge into my office like that! You got it? Now, what do you want? Everything you have on the anna devane case. I’m assuming control of this investigation.


Where is esme? Do the cops know? The cops do know. My mom spotted her at the pier. When she was trying to dial 911, esme tried to grab her phone, my mom fell, and she hit her head. Oh, my god. Is your mom alright? Yes, thankfully. But esme got away, and we don’t really know where she is. She’s still out there. Esme’s graduating from torching cars and making revenge porn to trying to kill that bartender. She’s seriously unhinged! We have no idea what she’s capable of. Joss told you commissioner ashford’s theory? About the hook targeting people close to you and related to the trial? Yes. But esme as the maniac? I can’t wrap my head around it. Just please watch your back. Yeah. You too. Does spencer know? We didn’t tell spencer because we didn’t know that esme was back in town. We also didn’t know about the hook’s connection to you. And you were busy telling him other things? Your name did come up. Joss told me, especially how spencer’s feelings were hurt after I found out that he believed in me all along. And… I never acknowledged it to him. Why didn’t you? I tried to see him before he was taken to pentonville, but by the time I reached the pcpd, he was gone. Trina, you know where to find spencer. What’s holding you back? So I guess it’s your uncle victor who’s pulling the strings? I’ve had support from all of my uncles, each…useful in their own way. Yeah, well, sonny is usually great. Uncle martin tried like hell to get my sentence reduced. Yes, I know. He told me about that. He said you refused to give the name of the accomplice who helped you to get an unauthorized pass from spring ridge. You disapprove? Spencer, I really understand you wanting to visit your mother’s grave, and I guess you have taken full responsibility and accepted the consequences, but whoever helped you should also face some consequences because what they did was wrong, too. It seems unfair to penalize others for my decision. How’s great-grandmother lesley doing? She is recovering. She’s doing well, actually. But, spencer, it was so sad. They lost everything. And bit by bit, their new place on lake como is starting to feel like home. I’m glad. It’s good that you’re back. It’s nice to see you. You too. You shouldn’t have come here, though. To my knowledge, anna devane has not crossed state lines, which puts this case under the jurisdiction of the pcpd. Not any longer. The mayor’s office called me in. Mayor collins called you? No. Mayor collins is out of the country. The deputy mayor, eileen ashby, contacted my office. Really? On what grounds? The deputy mayor feels state and local resources are stretched too thin. What law-enforcement department isn’t? I’m sorry you’ve wasted your time, but I have this under control. Not from what I can see. A failed prisoner transfer, the second in less than a year, and now you have a potential serial killer on the loose. It appears your resources are severely overtaxed. I’ll need documentation confirming your jurisdiction. I’m not here to step on your toes, commissioner ashford. I’m here to help. My understanding is that in addition to being a wsb agent, the fugitive was also once police commissioner? Your understanding is correct. Look at it this way. Relinquishing control of this investigation avoids any appearance of impropriety for both you… and your department. Sonny: What happened out there? Didn’t dex tell you? No. Heather webber happened. She got added to the transport at the last minute, and dex tried to change the route so that we would go to d’archam first, drop her, and then on to pentonville. But I guess the guard got suspicious, and there was a struggle in the front. And lost control of the vehicle. We crashed, and then… I kind of don’t remember. I hear the guard is still alive, so he can give us a description. Okay. Where would dex go if he wanted to keep a low profile? I don’t know, because he doesn’t have many connections. And without me, dex… could be anywhere.

[ Grunts ] Hey, hey. Easy, easy, easy. Let me help. Let me help. Am I in your dorm room? Good guess. How? You popped a stitch. I found you not too far from the house. You weren’t completely unconscious, so I was able to get you in my car. But I couldn’t take you to a hospital, so… I brought you back here. That was risky. Not really. You looked like a drunk frat guy. I can’t believe you did all of this for me. Neither can I.


Sit. Gimme. Thank you. Have you forgotten who’s the chief of staff? I give the orders. It was nothing. I-I swallowed too fast. Put your hand out like this. Chief of staff, don’t be a difficult patient. Put your hand out. We’re just gonna run some tests. No need. You’re exhibiting chorea in at least one of your hands. It’s too much caffeine. And what about the dysphagia? Britt, come on. A first-year med student could see it’s hard for you to swallow. How long has that been going on? Okay. Probably nothing. Right? So we’ll just run a scan. Don’T. Britt, I don’t need to tell you that the symptoms you’re exhibiting might be indicative of a larger neurological or muscular disorder, so we need to run some tests to make sure… I don’t — I don’t — …that it’s not one of those big things. I don’t need a test because I know what’s going on. I have huntington’s disease. Everybody at G.H. Is being questioned. What about heather? Apprehended. Oh, good. Where did they find her? Kelly’s, of all places.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Voicemail. It didn’t even ring. We’re pretty remote. There’s no reception here. Excuse me. Ohh. I feel terrible about dex. That kid out there hiding. You know? I just wanted this whole thing to be a clean operation. Extractions can get complicated. Sonny’s guy knew the risks going in. Yeah, but now he’s paying the price, because of me. Because of victor. Victor made you take the fall for what he did to lucy. Dear old dad. Alright. Jordan wants to talk to me at the precinct. Oh, she suspects you helped me. Could be. But you know what? She can’t prove it. So, uh, this will be the last time we can have any kind of contact. You take care of yourself, alright? Hey, sonny. Thank you. Prove your innocence.

[ Door closes ] You’re wasting your time here. There’s too much happening in port charles right now. Spencer, it is never a waste of my time to see you. Nothing is more important to me. I have some news for you. Apparently, esme has been spotted again in port charles. Has she been arrested? No, but the authorities are looking out. I hope that they deploy dogs. Spencer! Look, you have every right to feel betrayed. But holding onto all of this rage a-and resentment, ultimately, this is only gonna hurt you. So this isn’t just about esme, is it? Okay, your dad did tell me that there had been another rift between the two of you. It’s not gonna be that much longer that you’ll be in here. Okay? Do you think maybe we can all try to work this out together? Maybe sundays at my house? Obviously, my father didn’t tell you why we’re estranged. No, he didn’T. But you can. What happened, spencer? Ask your son. Or, when they find her, you can ask esme. Um, I-I was able to use my keycard to nab some first-aid supplies from the gym, and most of our locker room had everything I needed to clean and re-bandage the wound… the one that you’re determined not to discuss. But there — there are two beds in here. Do you have a roommate? That’s taken care of. Who else has a key? How many people on this floor? Nobody’s gonna come in here. You’re fine. I can’t stay here.

[ Grunts ] Hey. Don’t get up right now. D–

[ Grunts ] Ohh.


In bed. If you insist. Okay. God. You’re heavier than you look. All muscle. Yeah. Alright. Well, there’s no blood, so that’s good. You could have popped another stitch pulling that stunt. I hope that all of this is worth it. What? Working for sonny. How much is he paying you to get shot for him? I don’t see him risking his life. No comment. You need food and hydration. If I go to get some stuff from the dining hall, do you promise to be good and stay put? I-I don’t want you involved in this, joss.

[ Scoffs ] It’s too late. Besides, you have nowhere else to go. Yes, I do. Grab me my phone, and I’ll make arrangements. Yeah. You didn’t have a phone. Oh, damn. Um… can I borrow yours? Not if you’re gonna use it to call sonny. Any leads on the individual that commandeered the van? Nothing found at the scene. Security footage from the general hospital parking garage turn up anything? Our mystery man was shy with the cameras. One of my officers did make contact during transfer. I’ll need to talk to that officer. He was focused on the transfer. Never even saw the driver’s face. Should he remember any details, I’ll have him meet with our sketch artist to have a composite drawn. Jar that memory. An I.D. On that driver will lead us to who aided anna devane’s escape.

[ Knock on door ] Come in. Mr. Corinthos. You just saved me a trip. Last time I talked to spencer, I told him I didn’t want to be friends. I’m not sure I can take that back. Not sure if I want to. I guess that’s up to you. If you’ve moved on, more power to you. I think ultimately spencer just wants you to be happy. Even if that’s with rory. Same goes for me, too, trina. Thanks. Rory is a great guy. Yeah, you guys seem to be very at ease with one another, like me and joss. Yeah, you and joss have gone through a lot these past few months, and y’all are still together.

[ Chuckles ] I think it’s our friendship that keeps us grounded. You know, it’s because of that bond, it’s far easier to find our way back to one another. Rory and I are friends, too. He’s so supportive. I’m glad. You know, maybe it was for the best that spencer never gave you that letter. Laura: Ask esme? What does she have to do with the rift between you and your dad? It’s not for me to say.

[ Door opens ] Sorry, mayor collins. Time’s up. It was really great to see you, grandmother. Is there anything else you need? You came to see me. I couldn’t ask for anything more. Before you left, I made you a promise, and, uh, I’m really sorry if I let you down. You didn’t let me down. What you’ve done for trina is the epitome of protecting the people you love. I couldn’t be more proud of you. Thank you. I’ll see you soon. Okay? Okay.

[ Door closes ]

[ Groans ] Before you go there, there’s someone else who’d like to talk with you. Who? Your big brother. Hello, laura.


Alright. Look. I can’t stop you from asking sonny for help. But you’re not gonna do it from my phone. Are we still doing this? I get that you hate the guy. Okay? Dex, I will never shake the sight of you hanging from a meat hook. Your face all bruised, shivering with cold. All of these knives laid out in front of you. And this is the man that you want to go to for help? I’m sorry. A-am I supposed to be grateful while he acts all concerned and protective? No. I can’t stay here forever. Okay? My options are limited. You can send him an e-mail. But y-you can’t do it from my account. Not exactly the most expedient form of communication. Just give it to me, please. Alright. I’m gonna go grab the stuff. Will you stay here and be good? I’ll be back soon. Are you talking about the letter spencer almost gave me at the party?

[ Cellphone rings ] Joss. Everything okay? Uh, yeah, totally fine. Really? You sound weird. Well, I-I don’t want to freak you out, um, but are you planning on swinging by the room today? Um, I’m not sure. What’s up? Apparently, they’re spraying for bedbugs. Oh, gross! Cameron: What? They’re spraying our room for bedbugs. Ohh. Are you with cam? Yeah. You wanna talk to him? He’s been trying to get ahold of you. No! No, that’s okay. Just tell him I’ll call him back later. I have to clear some stuff from the room so that they can spray. Oh. Do you — do you need some help? No, no. I’ve got it covered. Okay. Keep me posted. Did she not want to talk with me? Sounded like she had a lot going on. We have bedbugs? Uh — [ Laughs ] Uh, it’s just a rumor. So check your mattress. I wouldn’t know the signs. Can you show me what to look for? It’s good to see you, laura. Please, sit with me. I’m afraid I can’t stay. I’m still the mayor. I have some important things to attend to. No thanks to you and those “friends of port charles.” Ah, you’re still angry about the recall effort, but I have no desire to hurt you, laura, despite your belief to the contrary. Actually, I do know now that it was not you who was behind the attempt on martin and my life at the safe house last year. Good. I told you. You did, and you’ll forgive me if I don’t always take you at your word. I forgive you. Do you know who was behind the attack? If I told you, what would you do? Just send a message. Ahh. So much for that conversion of yours. Safeguarding my family is in line with biblical principles. It is so good to see you. Y-you’re really looking well. You know, I don’t know how to say this without sounding mean, but I didn’t come here to talk to you. Oh, yeah, I know, but maybe that can change. Maybe both you and martin could visit me together. I’d love to see my brother. How — how is he? You should ask him. Yeah, I’d like to, but for now, you’re here and he’s not. H-has something happened? You’re afraid I’ll use personal information to hurt martin. You have to believe me, laura. I am doing everything I can to make things right with my family, starting with my great-nephew spencer. If deputy mayor ashby is on victor’s payroll, who knows who else could be? Yeah, but I need definitive proof to tie that to victor, you know? Well, maybe it’s time we stop focusing on victor’s guilt and more on proving your innocence. “We”? Of course. You have to go. In due time. Now. Today. If we get caught… you go to prison, too. You think I don’t know that? You’re a survivor, anna devane. But how are you gonna hide out here and conduct an investigation by yourself? Carefully. You have to go. Do you have any idea how much you mean to me? My father had huntington’S. When I found out, I chose not to get tested. Couple years ago, I started having hand tremors. Turned out it was just repetitive motion disorder. But I realized it wasn’t doing me any good to hide. The fear that I might have huntington’s was ruining my life. So I talked it through with someone I respected, and I decided I needed to know, one way or the other. And now I know. I’m really sorry. There’s no wrist brace to stave off this disease. I live every day knowing symptoms will present at any time. So let me ask you — what kind of timeline does your treating physician give you? I don’t have one. You’re joking! Doctor, you need a doctor. You do? Look, I’m no expert. But from what I can remember about this horrible disease, you’re in the early stages, and there are protocols that could help you manage your symptoms. I know my disease progresses in stages. I know I may be able to carry on with activities for years. Meds that can aid with symptoms without assistance, yada, yada! It’s not “yada, yada.”

[ Scoffs ] All of those things should comfort you. Come on. Let’s cut the crap and be real, austin. There is a bomb in my brain, and the countdown has begun. I’m surprised to see sonny corinthos easily saunter into the police commissioner’s office. At least he knocked. I’d requested his presence right before you barged in. You seem to know me, but I don’t — I don’t know you. Agent whitten with the U.S. Marshals service. Should I have my lawyer present? Nah. This is just a friendly conversation. No such thing, from the feds. I’ve been going through anna devane’s file. It appears the two of you go way back. Yeah. So what? Ms. Devane’s a high-value fugitive. Our government is anxious to sit down with her. You’re hoping to make a deal? Maybe trade in classified information. You’d be making a friend in the attorney general’s office if you could help us get in a room with her. I don’t need a friend. And if you think you’re gonna coerce anna into giving state secrets, you don’t know her at all. But you do. Well… just let your friend know we can offer her safe haven.

If you’re in contact with her. I’m not. That’s a shame. My bosses say if we can’t bring her in, we have to bring her down.


have copies of any filesince words, agent whitten, no need to get combative. I don’t see the need to waste time or mince words, commissioner. Anna devane is no danger to the public at large. We don’t know that. I’ll take this with me. Have copies of any files related to this case uploaded to my office this afternoon. In case there’s anything I need to know. Be seeing you. I didn’t know he’d be here when I called you. I gathered. Ambushes aren’t your style. That wasn’t a bluff, was it? You mean when he said he would take down anna if they couldn’t bring her in? I think he meant every damn word. Best thing that you can do for both of us is leave. Because I would really feel devastated if something were to happen to you. Why don’t I just stick around a few more days? And if victor realizes that we’re both missing? I’m sure he knows by now. And I’m sure he suspects I was part of your escape. And what if he takes advantage of your absence and seizes charlotte again? She’s safe with laura. You just got her back! You were in hell without her. You need to be there for her. You have to keep her safe. I’m a big girl. I can manage. Okay. Okay. This ring… has a lot of complicated feelings for me. The cassadine ring. Sure. Every time I try to get rid of it, it finds its way back to me. Will you hold onto it? Till we’re together again? I’m obligated to cover all the bases with my patients, but I reserve the right to not waste my own precious time. Maybe I’ll just get my affairs in order instead. Okay. I mean, I — I think the way it goes is, is that there’s horses and then cart. Okay, I’ve really had my fill with horse idioms. Oh, right. How’s cody? Does he know? Only my mother and scott. I haven’t told anyone else who matters. Ah! [ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ] I’m just kidding. No, seriously. I am joking. You don’t have to manage my feelings. Oh. The irony. For the first time in a long time, things started to go well. I’m really sorry. I don’t see it as the end of the line for you. I think that’s something you would say to a patient. No, I-I know you’re not my patient, doctor. I know you’re a physician. I’m a physician. And so we know that there are advancements in medicine every day. And we caught this early, so maybe we can take advantage of one of them. And, you know, for what it’s worth, if I had to wager between you and huntington’s, I’m all-in on you. Just google bedbugs. You know? I think they’re, like, tiny dark spots in your sheets and your pillowcases. Don’t you have to throw everything out? I think that’s just preventative. Don’t worry. I’ll check anyway. And, joss… look. Um… I’m really glad that trina’s back at pcu and that you all can move on from what happened. I appreciate that, adam. You deserve a drama-free year. That’s not gonna happen. Uh, before joss called, you were saying something about spencer’s letter. Do you know what he wrote? He said that he just confessed everything, why he did what he did. Not that it matters now, though, right? What’s done is done. Um, I have to get back to work in the kitchen. Just promise me you’ll stay vigilant? We all have to watch our backs now that esme’s around. Yeah. 100%. Oh, and one more thing. Was spencer confessing about playing esme? Or something else? For that, you’ll have to ask him yourself. Why are you bringing up spencer? We’ve become acquainted here. I see great things in him, a lot of your energy, laura. No, no, you — you stay away from spencer, cyrus. I have been protecting him! Don’t your raise your voice to me! Protect him?! You sit down! Ever since he became a ward of the state! In case you didn’t notice, it’s a little dangerous here! Sit down.

[ Laughs ] Ask spencer. Ask spencer what, exactly? Well, when you saw him, did he seem okay to you? Yes, he did. And I’m gonna make sure he stays that way. I’m afraid I-I can’t promise the same thing for your friend anna devane. What? If she’s captured, perhaps as mayor, you can pull some strings to make sure she never comes to pentonville. Why? Why? What do you know, cyrus? Does the name olivia jerome mean anything to you?


Do you know about this?Has olivia said something? Only that she can’t wait to roll out the pentonville red carpet for anna devane. Look, I-I know you still don’t trust me, sister, but trust this — if anna’s on the run, it’s best she stays that way. Sonny, if you know where anna is, let me bring her in. It’s safer that way. You really think she’d be safer in pentonville, within victor’s reach? He’s the one who set her up. No, you know, she’s lucky she has friends, us included. Yes, she’s a dear friend. But I can’t break the law outright for her. I get it. But you know what? You can’t turn her over to that hot-shot agent, either. Oh, hell no. He only wants to impress his bosses. We can’t let that happen at the expense of anna. Okay, so… we’re on the same page here. Anna is safer on her own. We find the person most likely to know about anna devane’s escape. Then we lean on him until he breaks. When you’re back in port charles, you’ll be able to keep an eye on your father. If you leave here, how will I find you? I’ll find you. You be careful. You be careful.

Je t’aime.

A bientT.

[ Door closes ] Britt: Here’s a positive. I can blame my “britchiness” on huntington’S. Hey, there we go! There’s the indomitable spirit that everybody around here respects so much.

[ Scoffs ] Did you miss the part where I said “britch” in “britchiness”? Have you not noticed? I am not miss popularity. People around here, I — I don’t think they see you, well, the way they used to see you. How would you know that? ‘Cause I work here. And you know how it goes. Doctors and nu– we all talk. And you are respected. You are. For your deep, deep compassion, even though you do everything you can to try and convince everybody you don’t have any. Got a lot in your life… don’t you? You’ve got — you’ve got brad. Got your mom. You got maxie and her kids. Mm-hmm. Yeah, thank god james and bailey don’t have the marker. Right? Really. But if they did, you would be there to support them, right? Of course. So maybe let everybody support you now. There’s nothing you can’t share with someone that you love.

[ Knock on door ] Kiley: Josslyn?! It’s kiley, your ra! Are you in there?! I need to talk to you! It’s important!

[ Rattling ] Hey, um, I thought that my time with my grandmother was up.

[ Knock on door ]

Phyllis: It’s phyllis, amanda. Hey.

Amanda: Hey.

Phyllis: Okay, I got here as fast as I could. I didn’t even know you were in town.

Amanda: Yeah, I just — i just got in today.

Phyllis: Okay. What happened?

Amanda: Well, I came to talk to devon. You know, I wanted to surprise him because I’ve been gone for so long. But I got a surprise because he was naked on the couch with abby.

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Is, uh, dom ready?

Devon: Abby. I haven’t gotten dominic ready to go yet, but I think that you should come in so we can talk.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Diane: I appreciate you so much. You have the least reasons of anyone to make me feel worthy, believed, safe. And yet you do.

Jack: I’m glad that’s so.

Diane: Me too.

Jack: Diane? What’s wrong?

Ashley: Hi.

[ Elevator doors close ] Whoa.

Tucker: Hi.

Ashley: What are you doing here?

Tucker: Well, it’s day one of “challenge accepted.”

Ashley: I see.

Tucker: And that envelope there will go a long way in proving that my intentions are pure and, uh, whose side I’m on — yours.

Now glossy hair starts

Ashley: You just can’t help yourself, can you? You just have to add a little bit of pizzazz in everything you do, don’t you?

Tucker: Yeah, guilty as charged. Don’t you want to see what’s inside?

Ashley: Is this supposed to mean something to me?

Tucker: Not yet, but i promised that I wouldn’t hide anything else from you, and that article is the key to understanding the rest of diane’s odyssey in los angeles.

Diane: [ Sighs, clears throat ] Ev– everything’s fine, jack.

Jack: Are you sure?

Diane: Yes. Kyle and harrison and I, um, got back from the hospital a little while ago.

Jack: And what did the doctor say?

Diane: Oh, harrison’s test results were all normal. She thinks it was just a virus. Just liquids, rest, and our grandson will be good as new.

Jack: Oh, thank god.

Diane: Yeah. Kyle and summer were incredibly relieved.

Jack: I’ll bet they were. Kind of feel badly for them. They go from the fun of a tropical honeymoon to a state of total panic in a matter of a few short hours.

Diane: Well, they’re upstairs with harrison, if you want to go check on him. I was just, um — I was just sticking around to see if there was anything else I could do to help.

Jack: Well, thank you for the update. I am gonna head upstairs, say a quick hello, and then I have to get back to jabot. Um, I could give you a lift if you need one.

Diane: That’s nice of you. Jack, wait.

[ Sighs ] Um, if — if you have a minute, there’s something I’d like to ask you.

Jack: Go ahead.

Diane: Well, I’m — I’m sure you’ll agree that things have been a bit strained between us since I shared about my time in L.A., Told you about jeremy stark and how he manipulated me, and then my subsequent unfortunate reunion with tucker mccall.

Jack: And what is your question?

Diane: Well, I — I was wondering if you thought maybe there was a way we could move past that, start fresh.

Devon: You looked like you could use this.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Thank you.

Devon: You’re welcome.

Abby: I’d ask how you know, but, uh…of course you do.

Devon: [ Sighs ] Are you okay?

Abby: No. Are you?

Devon: I don’t know. I really don’t know how I feel. I don’t know what’s real life right now and what’s not. It’s like, what the hell, you know?

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: Were you able to catch up with chance?

Abby: Yeah. I caught up with him at home. Um, we talked. And now he’s questioning our whole relationship.

Devon: Well, did you make him understand that this was the first and only time this ever happened?

Abby: Yeah, I tried to make it crystal clear, but, um, he said it doesn’t really matter because he thinks it’s a symptom of a larger problem in our marriage, so…

Devon: Okay. And he doesn’t — he doesn’t want to try and work on that larger problem?

Abby: He said he doesn’t know if he’s the right person for me. He thinks that maybe he can’t give me what I want or what i need.

Devon: Well, I mean, I — i don’t agree with that ’cause I’ve seen you guys and I know how happy makes you. I mean, he made you happy enough to go and try and find him in another country when we all thought he was dead. And to support him while he was struggling. He just wants to give up on you guys after all that?

Abby: Well, uh, did things go any better with you and amanda?

Phyllis: Wait, wait. You saw devon with abby?

Amanda: Mm-hmm, and it was perfect timing. Perfect timing, you know? I walk in the door after months of being gone, and the first thing that I see is that.

Phyllis: Well, I mean, were they — were they actually —

Amanda: Having sex? Yes. There is no doubt. I saw what I saw, and devon admitted it, so…

Phyllis: What?! Why abby?

Amanda: Oh, well, devon claimed that they were really upset and they needed comforting, so it just happened.

Phyllis: Oh, it just happened? Really? She just happened to be naked? He just happened to —

Amanda: Yeah, pretty much.

Phyllis: Yeah. Okay.

Amanda: Pretty much, yeah. And he also repeated it half a dozen times just so that I could get the message.

Phyllis: Seriously? I mean, he’s with you. I-I thought he was a good guy, that he was the only one in this town left with integrity.

Amanda: Yeah. You know I never saw it coming? No. But I think that maybe I should have because devon and abby — they have always had this profound connection, you know…

Phyllis: Oh, please.

Amanda: …Something that chance and I — we could never be a part of.

Phyllis: Oh, vomit. Come on. Does chance know?

Amanda: Oh, yeah, he knows.

[ Laughs ] He showed up at devon’s the same time that I did, so we walked in together hand in hand. It was a truly special moment for us all.

Phyllis: Oh, my god. This is insane.

Amanda: Yeah. I was blown away, too.

Phyllis: Oh, my god. I mean, I-I-I’m just try– I’m trying to wrap my head around devon and abby? Abby? What? I mean, she’s with chance. I thought they were happy. And — and he has the perfect woman in you.

Amanda: Oh, no, not perfect enough.

Phyllis: Um, no, don’t go there. This is on him, not you. Not you!

[ Sighs ] I don’t want to hear that from my friend.

[ Sighs ] Could — could this just be, like, just a momentary lapse of any sort of reason? I mean —

Amanda: Phyllis.

Phyllis: Okay. Okay

Amanda: Did you really — did you just say that?

Phyllis: I mean, I’m just trying to make some sense out of it, that’s all. I mean, could it just be

[Stammers] They’re friends and — and — and it just happened, just a colossal mistake that you can all move past?

Amanda: [ Scoffs ] You didn’t live this strong, this long to get put

Amanda: One for you.

Phyllis: Thank you.

Amanda: Listen, phyllis, i know that there are people in this world that can overlook when their partner cheats. And there are other people who can have open relationships. They can separate love and sex and not get all bent out of shape when stuff like this happens, but me? I am not one of those people.

Phyllis: I am not one of them, either. I understand.

Amanda: So I’m not gonna forgive devon, and I’m not even gonna try. The end.

Phyllis: Um, I support you in whatever you want to do. So, what do you want to do now?

Amanda: Well, I’m gonna go back to virginia, be with my family, and — I don’t know. I don’t think I’m gonna be coming back here.

Phyllis: No! No, no, no, no, no. I will not support that.

Amanda: Are you surprised, phyllis, that I want to leave, I want to put this whole damn town in my rearview mirror?

Phyllis: Of course I’m not surprised, but you’re making a decision based on an emotional reaction.

Amanda: Okay, well, people do it all the time.

Phyllis: I know. It doesn’t always work out. I’m speaking from experience.

Amanda: I know you are.

Phyllis: Okay, take a second, please, alright? Really think about this. You’ve built a life here, one you seem to be very satisfied with.

Amanda: Yeah, I was, until about 2:00 this afternoon.

Phyllis: Okay. Are you willing to just throw that away based on devon being with abby?

Amanda: Yeah. Devon. Devon — a man that I planned to spend the rest of my life with. But notice how I — how i phrased that there in the past, “planned.”

Phyllis: Okay, listen, you have worked very, very hard to put down roots here.

Amanda: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: You are a power player at chancellor-winters.

Amanda: Mm. Mm-hmm. Wait, are you talking about me staying at chancellor-winters? You mean the job where I have to work with devon every single day? Yeah. No, thanks.

Phyllis: Okay. I want you to really think about this. Just take a second and really think about this.

Amanda: [ Sighs ] Listen, I know that your heart is in the right place, but right now, all I know is that my family needs me.

Phyllis: I know, but —

Amanda: No, no. No “buts.” I was only gonna come here for a couple of days anyways. And now that devon has cheated with abby, I can go back to my mom a few days sooner. It’s perfect.

Phyllis: Okay. I know it’s really important for you to take care of your mom. I know that.

Amanda: Yeah, it’s changed my life, and I’m not exaggerating. In spite of how sick she’s been, we — we have — we’ve been able to make up for lost time, and we’re doing it along with imani. And now look — I have the added bonus of adding a couple extra hundred miles between me and devon, so it’s a win-win.

Devon: No, things did not go better with amanda.

Abby: Ugh. I was afraid you were gonna say that.

Devon: After everything she’s been going through with her mom, she came back home looking for support.

Abby: Only to walk in on us.

[ Sighs ]

Devon: Yeah. And no matter what I say or what I do, she’s never gonna forget that image.

Abby: Devon, I’m — I’m so sorry.

Devon: I don’t want you to be sorry. It’s not your fault. When she took off, I couldn’t leave dominic here, so I had to let her go.

Abby: Well, maybe, uh, amanda and chance — maybe they just need a little space.

Devon: Mm.

Abby: Maybe it’ll give us some time to fix this massive mistake.

Devon: Yeah. Amanda definitely wants space ’cause she’s talking about going straight back to virginia to be with her family.

Abby: Not permanently, right?

Devon: I mean, it sounds like it.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Devon…

Devon: She said that, uh, now that she knows what I’m capable of, she could see that our relationship never stood a chance.

Abby: Is there any possible way for us to salvage this?

[ Sighs ]

Diane: It felt like we were on the verge of something good, which I ruined by confessing about what happened in L.A.

Jack: That was one hell of a secret you were keeping. Or should I say still another secret?

Diane: Well, I hoped my explanation about why I kept quiet made sense to you.

Jack: My main concern is how kyle feels. I’m taking my cues from our son.

Diane: Well, in that case, I’m a bit relieved because kyle said he understands why I did what I did and why I felt compelled to leave it buried.

[ Sighs ] But I am guessing you have your own opinions about the subject.

Jack: Yeah, I do.

Diane: Alright. Then I’d like to hear them.

Ashley: So, what is this? Who is jeremy stark?

Tucker: So, jeremy stark is an entrepreneur who [Chuckles] Committed so many crimes, he ended up in prison. Unfortunately, at least for some, the authorities never uncovered all his crimes or all his co-conspirators.

Ashley: Tucker…

Tucker: Mm-hmm?

Ashley: …You’re taking the long way around the block. I mean, why is this of interest to me?

Tucker: When jeremy and i were in california, we had a friend in common. In fact, he was this friend’s meal ticket for quite some time while she was out there, too.

Ashley: “She”?

Tucker: Yes, she. She is quite a piece of work. She has expensive tastes, likes to ride around in bentleys and whatnot.

Ashley: Mm. Yeah. Her name wouldn’t happen to be diane jenkins? Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Tucker: That’s the piece of the story that diane withheld from jack and kyle. Or if she did decide to tell them, obviously they chose to keep you out of the loop.

Ashley: So, what was the nature of diane and jeremy stark’s relationship?

Tucker: It was romantic at first, somewhat, but that was really just a cover for the scam he was running.

Ashley: Go on.

Tucker: So, he was using diane to transport cash all over the world so he could shelter it in those offshore banks, you know, the ones that don’t give a damn how you got it or whether you pay taxes on it.

Ashley: How the hell do you know all this?

Tucker: [ Laughs ]

Ashley: I mean, really. Victor, with his entire team of investigators, could not get his hands on this information.

Tucker: Let’s just say I was in the right place at the right time and I knew where to look.

Ashley: Care to elaborate?

Tucker: The “how” really isn’t relevant. The point is that if you want to put the fear of god into diane and drive her away from you and your family, that’s how you do it.

Jack: I would like to be able to just let this go. You found yourself in an untenable situation, so you did what you had to, to survive.

Diane: That’s it. Exactly.

Jack: I’d also like to believe in your sincerity about kyle, that he really was your top priority when you were in self-imposed exile, that it was because of him that you held your nose and let tucker back into your life.

Diane: He was. I swear it. And just the fact that you sound like you want to move forward is a very good sign to me.

Jack: I wouldn’t read too much into that if I were you.

Diane: Okay.

Jack: I can’t help thinking that you have another secret, that there’s something else that you have hidden that’s gonna come out the next time you’re backed into a corner, another shoe drops, and there’s heartbreak for everyone.

Diane: Everyone?

Jack: For kyle and harrison, the two people in this world that are most important to me.

Diane: They are the most important to me, as well. And nothing, nothing about my past or my present or my future could ever change that.

Jack: I know you say that now —

Diane: Jack, please. Do you really think I want any of us to suffer? And I’m not just talking about myself. I mean, how can you believe that I would allow any more heartbreak into kyle’s life?

Amanda: Listen. I feel like I need to leave, okay? For my own emotional and mental well-being. Working with devon every single day — that would not be good for me.

Phyllis: Okay. What do you want to tell lily?

Amanda: I don’t know. I — yeah, okay, I guess I’m leaving her in a lurch, okay? But I will work from virginia until she can find a replacement. And there are plenty of lawyers that can fill my shoes, maybe even imani down the road, if she wants to stay on. But I need to go. I need to start fresh somewhere else. It is the right thing for me to do.

Phyllis: Okay. I’ll miss you.

Devon: I wouldn’t even know where to begin to make things right with amanda and chance.

Abby: Yeah. Neither would I.

Devon: What are we doing, abby? Why do you think we lost control like that?

Abby: I wish I knew.

Devon: You do know that i never expected for anything like that to happen or never planned on it. It really came out of nowhere.

Abby: Not according to my husband.

Devon: What do you mean, not according to him?

Abby: He said that he could see this coming from the time he returned from spain.

Devon: What?

Abby: Yeah. He said he just thought maybe he was overreacting about how close our friendship had become, but he could see me relying on you more and more, and he thought that this was inevitable.

Devon: So, you’re saying that chance was able to see this coming, but neither one of us could?

Abby: I don’t have the answers. I mean, I don’t know why this happened. I just know that we were both in pain for our own reasons and we let our emotions take over and we acted out of impulse. And we made a big mistake, one that may have ruined both of our lives.

Ashley: Okay. So, what else can you tell me about diane and jeremy stark’s collaboration? I’m assuming he cut her in on the deal, right?

Tucker: No, you assume wrong. He had her pegged from the get-go. So, what he would do is he would stash her suitcase with the cash and then remove it before she noticed. So she had no idea she was involved in anything criminal or that he knew about her past. But she found out that he knew, so he threatened to expose taylor as dead diane jenkins and pretty much left her no choice but to continue on with him.

Ashley: Okay. So, he was blackmailing her.

Tucker: Mm-hmm. Until the authorities caught up with him.

Ashley: Mm-hmm. And how were you involved in all this?

Tucker: After he went to jail, uh, and I found out diane was alive, I leveraged the information about her crimes to persuade her to work with me.

Ashley: Nice. So, you blackmailed her, too?

Tucker: No, not quite. I — as I told you, we had a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Ashley: Oh, well, if that’s the case…

Tucker: Well, what was so terrible about it? Yes, I gave her information about allie in exchange for information about you. But you know diane. She’s no innocent victim, never has been. And she never has and never will play by the rules. She always finds a way to wriggle out of being held accountable for whatever sin she’s committed.

Ashley: I know exactly who diane is, tucker. And I know we don’t have the full story, but my question is about you. I mean, why are you telling me all this right now? If your whole thing was getting information from diane, why are you making this big push to get her out of genoa city? What is in it for you? and I’m going to tell you about exciting medicare advantage plans that can provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. With original medicare you are covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits but you have to meet a deductible for each, and then you’re still responsible for 20% of the cost. Next, let’s look at a medicare supplement plan. As you can see, they cover the same things as original medicare, and they also cover your medicare deductibles and coinsurance. But they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. Now, let’s take a look at humana’s medicare advantage plans. With a humana medicare advantage plan, hospitals stays, doctor office visits and your original medicare deductibles are covered. And, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. With no copays or deductibles on tier 1 prescriptions, and zero dollars for routine vaccines, including shingles, at in-network retail pharmacies. In fact, in 2021, humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $9,600 on average on their prescription costs. Most humana medicare advantage plans have coverage for vision and hearing. And dental coverage that includes two free cleanings a year, plus dentures, crowns, fillings and more! Most humana medicare advantage plans include a silver sneakers fitness program at no extra cost. You get all of this for as low as a zero-dollar monthly plan premium in many areas; and your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana’s large network. There is no obligation, so call the number on your screen right now to see if your doctor is in our network; to find out if you could save on your prescriptions, and to get our free decision guide.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. I’ve been telling everyone

[ Button clicking ]

[ Sighs ]

Tucker: Well, I’m sorry that you feel the need to question why I would share this information with you, but at the same time, I understand. I have been a bit of an opportunist in the past, which is not always a bad thing, mind you.

Ashley: It doesn’t engender trust.

Tucker: I told you that i would prove myself worthy of you. That’s what I’m trying to do right now. You know that I don’t care about what anyone else thinks of me. Your opinion is the only one that matters to me.

Ashley: You say that now.

Tucker: I mean it! Whether diane jenkins comes or goes does not make any difference to me. Whatever alliance we had is over. I am simply trying to find a way, a place back to forgiveness and trust in your heart! Ashley, whatever goal you have is now my goal. I want you to tell me what you want. I want you to tell me what you need. ‘Cause I would move heaven and earth to give it to you.

Devon: Hey. Being together one time isn’t gonna ruin our lives.

Abby: How do you know that?

Devon: Because we’re not gonna let it.

Abby: [ Scoffs ] If only the world worked that way.

Devon: Well, it can if we have faith. All we can do the best that we can to try and make things right with chance and amanda.

Abby: I’m pretty sure that it’s gonna take a miracle.

Devon: Those are known to happen.

Abby: You know, I’m not just, uh, worried about them. There’s something else that we need to think about.

Devon: What do we need to think about?

Abby: Us. Our friendship. I mean, you are one of my closest friends. I’ve come to rely on you so much.

Devon: And you’re the same for me.

Abby: Are things gonna be weird and uncomfortable for forever?

Devon: Do you feel weird and uncomfortable right now?

Abby: No. [ Laughs ]

Devon: Yeah, me neither. I think that we just got carried away in a vulnerable moment and then something that we never expected to happen happened. You’re still my best friend. And you’re still the mother to my son. And that’s never gonna change. So, what happened between us is just that. It’s just something that happened.

Abby: You know, people say that. But do things ever really just happen? Especially something like sleeping together? Personally, I don’t know if i buy that.

Diane: Good afternoon, ashley.

Ashley: Well, it was, diane. Hi, jack.

Jack: Hi, there. Just back from lunch?

Ashley: I have a meeting in the lab. I was just getting a couple things from my office.

Tucker: Ah, I would be delighted if you would join me for dinner tonight. We can continue our discussion about los angeles. Sweet pillows of softness!

Ashley: Dinner, huh? I’d like that.

Tucker: Excellent. I’ll text you.

Diane: I didn’t realize you had such an interest in los angeles. What, are you planning on traveling there soon? Relocating perhaps?

Ashley: [ Laughs ] You’re so funny. Of course not. But I think it’s good to know all the major players in such a prominent city, don’t you?

Jack: You have a moment before you go downstairs?

Ashley: For you, jackie, I’ve got two. See ya.

[ Door closes ]

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Amanda: You know, phyllis, when I leave, I don’t think I’ll be coming back. That’s — that’s kind of the point, to forget that devon exists and put down roots somewhere else.

Phyllis: Oh. I don’t want to lose you.

Amanda: But we can video-chat, you know? And we’ll send each other funny memes, just like we’ve been doing while I’ve been —

Phyllis: I don’t want memes from you. I don’t want you to go.

[ Breathes deeply ]

Amanda: Well, you can come. You can — you can visit.

Phyllis: I don’t want to visit.

[ Voice breaking ] So much is going on with me. It’s crazy right now. And I’m losing our friendship. And I’m losing you. I don’t have anyone. I mean, my enemies are my friends. What a loser. I mean, what does that say about me? I really have no friends.

[ Laughing ] Don’t cry. Don’t cry. I’m supposed to me making you laugh.

Amanda: [ Laughs ] Ooh, I think you need to work on your delivery.

Phyllis: I do.

Amanda: Yeah.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Sniffles ] I love you, amanda. I really love you. But I know that you deserve so much better than this.

Devon: So, what are you saying, abby? You think that deep down we wanted this to happen?

Abby: No. God. I don’t know. Devon, we’re not kids anymore. We know what betrayal feels like. We’ve been on both sides of it. It causes lasting damage. And we still kissed. And we still had sex. And when it was over, I didn’t get up and put my clothes back on. I just… I laid there in your arms and… I don’t know. I mean, did I do this because chance has been working long hours at a job I wish that he was quitting? Or because he admits that he doesn’t rush home to me and dominic? Were you upset because amanda has been gone so long, so you were trying to get back at her?

Devon: No. No, I don’t think either one of us did that. We’re not malicious people. Can I ask you a question now? Do you regret any part of what happened?

Abby: Do you?

Devon: Part of me doesn’T.

One bounty versus two of the

leading ordinary brand

Abby: You can’t say that. We have to regret what happened because we hurt people, people that we love, people that we want to build a future with.

Devon: Right. And I-I-I know that. And I’m sorry.

Abby: No. I’m sorry. I…

[ Sniffles ] Look, I’m no saint. I have feelings, too. And what we did, it felt right in the moment. And I have to wonder, if we didn’t get caught so soon, i mean…would we feel this guilty? Or would we still be lying on that couch, wrapped in each other’s arms? Look, I don’t know. We could play the “what if” game all day to try to justify what happened, but…

[ Sniffles ] I’m not proud of what I did. And we can’t — we can’t do it again. So we just need to find a way to undo the pain that we caused.

Amanda: [ Sighs ] You know, these last few weeks have been rough. Worrying about my mom, trying to be strong for everyone. And I thought devon was my safe haven. I thought he was my kindred soul.

Phyllis: Yeah, I know you did.

Amanda: We didn’t rush things, you know? We were mature. We were open. We were honest. We helped each other through some really, really difficult times. And I thought that if the worst had happened and I lost my mom, I thought that he would be the one person who would understand, the one person that I would find solace in his arms. And then he just went and he blew it all up. How could he do it? How could he do that to me? Was the romp in the sheets with abby — was it really worth losing me?

Jack: Not gonna answer me, huh?

Ashley: What was the question? I’m busy here, jack.

Jack: The question is, what’s going on between you and mccall?

Ashley: What does that even mean?

Jack: Well, I know you had a plan to charm him into revealing what he was up to, but I got the distinct impression whatever you’re discussing has a lot more to do with diane.

Ashley: Okay, you can’t be that naive. If it has to do with tucker, then it goes back to diane because their secrets are intertwined. You can’t expose one without outing the other.

Jack: You ever heard of a surgical strike? You use a scalpel, not a sledgehammer.

Ashley: And there you go again. There you go again, protecting diane. She lies and lies and lies, and you want me to look away when i find out more of her misdeeds.

Jack: If you find out more of her misdeeds. There’s a possibility you won’t find anything.

Ashley: We don’t know the whole story yet. The only reason why she confessed that she was working with tucker was because she felt she had to. She was using it as a bargaining chip for more leverage. You know this.

Jack: [ Sighs ] I admit there may be more to this.

Ashley: Jackie, there’s a lot more. And I know this because tucker just gave me all sorts of juicy information. And there’s probably more secrets that he can reveal.

Jack: Secrets that involve diane?

Ashley: Of course. Intimate knowledge of her comings and goings and the dangerous people that she was associating with. Did you know —

Jack: Wait, wait, no, I don’t want to hear any more.

Ashley: Jack —

Jack: My focus is and has always been kyle. His relationship with his mother is in danger. I’m not gonna let you destroy it, and that’s exactly where this is headed.

Ashley: Jack!

Jack: No, if she has a hundred more secrets, I don’t want to know. Let it go. Back off. Leave the poor woman alone.

[ Thudding, papers rustling ]

[ Door slams ]

Diane: Tucker. What the hell are you and ashley up to?

Tucker: [ Laughs ] What, did you follow me here?

Diane: I need answers.

Tucker: No, no, you gave up your right to question me the second you spilled your guts to jack about L.A.

Diane: I didn’t tell him everything, and you know it.

Tucker: Yeah, and if you’re smart, you’ll keep your mouth shut about the rest of it.

Diane: Oh, is that a threat?

Tucker: Diane, you and I are through. Do you understand? Our business has concluded. Go live your life. Oh, and in case it’s not already crystal clear to you, you stay the hell out of my way.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Candy Crush. What? What? Zander only looks at his phone like that when he’s playing a video game. Oh, it’s, uh, nothing important, just birth, email. Uh, Zander gonna be joining you for dinner. Nope. I only need one menu. Zander is working late at his new job.

Dam it, Eva, answer the phone.

Annas commissioned a new one, so Susan can be the sigh of relief. You can also tell your mother that it’s safe to come out behind in.

Mother isn’t hiding from Hannah tummy. She’s been kidnapped.

I brought you some dinner. Oh, sorry. It’s nothing fancy. Oof.

You know, I don’t want your next sandwich. Ronald McDonald. I got a whole plate full of catfish, nooks. Just wait for me at my son Elvis’s house. So why don’t you just let me go. Sorry, I can’t do that. Oh, but of course you can. My Elvis, he’s loaded. He’ll give you anything you want. Trust me.

I want you back with your son just as much as you want to be there. Cause you have to be patient. . It’s easy for you to say, Mr. Clown I, you’re not the one just tied up and sitting around with a bunch of gardening tools in horse manure. I do apologize for the setting. Why are you doing this? Mc clowns, you are supposed to bring Hess and joy, not fear and child you to be ashamed of yourself.

Mr. Clown, what kind of a miserable person does such a thing?

Thank you. There you go. . So tell me about Xander’s new job. Well, he was hired by a pharmaceutical startup called, uh, rednecks full-time. Mm-hmm. . Yes. I’m very proud of him. He worked really hard to get this job. Good friend him. Yeah. If I’m being honest, we really need the money. I didn’t realize things were.

Well, Xander racked up quite the bill at the Salem in, and I’m still only working part-time at the hospital until they can confirm that I am no longer suffering from what Kristen did to me. Hey, I’m sorry that things been tough. Oh no. It’s okay. Xander and I are in this together, so we will land on our feet.

How was it? You mean seeing and Rachel? Yeah. Uh, truthfully, I don’t think I’m ever gonna recover from losing her. I know what you’re thinking. It’s hard for me too. Yeah. And also, The Alexander to blame for it. Am I right? Yeah, yeah. You are.

Sushi delivery . Hi. Hey, you. I figured you’d be working through dinner, so I thought you might like some raw fish and maybe some company. Yes, please. Both counts. Come on, . So how was your night? Oh man. Pretty much craziness. Ever since the election. Why? What’s going on? You didn’t hear? No, I mean I’ve, I’ve been swamped mostly approving marketing copy for our upcoming collection.

Right. Yeah. Yeah. That and your, your new role, what do you mean? I mean, I heard your moonlighting is Arab’s top model.

Fuck. Hey York,

have you heard about Paulina Price? Yes. She got elected governor and I’d like to thank my vote. Helped. Mm-hmm. , that’s the old news I’m talking about after the election. What do you mean? Maggie? Her daughter got arrested for murder, knowing that, I don’t understand. Lonnie was arrested last summer for murder?

No, no, no. Not Lonnie, the other daughter. Shut down. Yes, that’s the murder. Oh, how awful. And on the night her mother was elected governor. Oh, Helena must be just beside herself. It’s mother’s worst nightmare. Let me tell you. I, I’m. Xander, he’s your husband now, not to mention I’m the one who encouraged you to forgive him after switching those babies.

Yeah, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t still be angry with him. That would make me a hypocrite. Don’t you think that would make you human, painfully human? What? Sandra did hurt us both very deeply. I didn’t think I was ever gonna be able to get. I’m glad you did, for your sake. Well, you’re the reason that I was able to let go of that pain and anger.

You helped me see the kind of man that Vander’s capable of being a good and decent man and that I am very proud to call my husband.

Are you proud of your chef, Mr. Cloud? Hmm? You proud of your. What, why are you doing this to me? What? What? What’s in it for you? Huh? Ask for me. Are you a man or are you a clown?

EJ again, no Alexander. The answer is call either. All these men keep trying to tell you what to do. Yeah. Including you. I make my own decisions. Hello? What took you so long to answer. Will you relax? Relax. It’s easy for you to save. How much long do I have to hold onto her? Just a little while longer. And how long is a little while?

The woman is scared and hungry. Okay. So I feed her, I tried that. All she wants is catfish nuggets. Well, that’s not my problem, actually. Is your problem, Ava? You said this would be quick and easy. You get the money We give her back. No harm, no foul. Okay. That’s still the plan. Just calm. Stay the course. Stop trying to handle me, Eva.

I have a life, a future, and if you don’t finish this, I will. Oh wait. Hey, hey. What does that mean? It means get me my money or I’ll let Susan Banks go. Okay. Listen, Zander. Zander.

My mother, she tried to warn me that someone was after me, but I thought, I thought it was Johnny John. Why would Johnny be after you? He was very angry when I sent a away. Oh. And apparently she’s even angrier because I exposed her for the fraud. She really is. Ever since I proved that she wasn’t actually married to our late brother, she’s been lying and.

Get her revenge and she’s using your mother to exact it. I should have locked up that mongrel when I had the chance, put her ass in Statesville, and now my poor mother is the one paying the price.

Okay. You’re upset that I got pulled into that Bella photo shoot. I, I just would’ve liked to have heard about it from you and not one of my detectives. One of your detectives who happens to be dating Eric? No agenda there. Okay. Okay. Listen to me. Jada did not do anything wrong. This, this is just another example of a lack of communication between you and me, honey.

I was gonna tell you. Okay. Why didn’t you? Well, because it, it just happened. Something came up with one of the models that we hired, and so Alex Kakkis asked me to step in. Mm-hmm. and, and, but you’re absolutely right. I should have told you first thing and now,

Now there is something that I want you to hear from me. Okay. Actually, something that I wanna show you.

What. Why? Why am I looking at a photo of my wife draped all over her ex-husband? Like I said, this was Alex’s idea, and at first it was supposed to be a. Brady and me, and then he thought it would be better if it was Eric. Why? Why would it be better? Well, because according to Alex, I didn’t have any chemistry with Brady.

Oh, that is great. Great. So you and Eric, you guys are just crackling with it, huh? No, I mean, it’s all subjective, right? Who has chemistry? Who doesn’t? But Alex side, didn’t he? Great? Of course he did. You know what? Because everyone in this damn town is seen. So why don’t you, why don’t you just stop trying to hide from me the fact that you and.

Still have feelings for each other.

You know? You are kind of an inspiration. I am. Yeah. You’re an example of forgiveness, perseverance. I mean, after everything you and Xander have gone through, you’ve never stopped loving him. Well, except for when it wasn’t me. That doesn’t count. . Well, thank you for ruling on that. Mm-hmm. . What about you? What about me, son?

I know how long it took for you to get over. Nicole, how’s it going with Jada? It’s early. Mm-hmm. . I like being around her. I think she would say the same thing about me. Mm. Well, well see. That’s pretty important. Enjoying your partner’s company can come in handy if you’re ever, I don’t know. Sharing a roach infested hotel room, huh?

Hmm. , nothing. Nevermind. Listen, I must admit, I still have a little anger towards Sander, even though I’m working very hard. If I’m forgiveness for him. I appreciate that. I’m spent a lifetime preaching forgiveness, telling people that it’s not a one-time thing. It’s a, it’s a continuing process. Well, If it’s any help, I can promise that Xander is truly changed.

He’s not the same man that let us believe in other couple’s baby belonged to us. I know that he will never do something that terrible again. Good news, you should be going home soon. Oh, thank the Lord for small favors. Oh, did you get in touch with my Elvis? Is he gonna send a cowry after? You didn’t concern yourself with the details.

Yeah. I just have to ask you one thing, Mr. Clam, how do you live with yourself? I bet your mom was just so disappointed in you. My mother is a drunken train wreck, so I really don’t give a damn what she thinks. Sure. And there’s gotta be showing that matters to you. You got a wife, I mean, how does she feel about her man being a dirty, low down kidnapper?

I can’t believe that Xander is making Sarah move to a Fleabag hotel because Victor called him a loser. Uh, he’s a proud man . Proud Schmid. Victor’s mean to me all the time. And I put up with cranky mats because, hello? The amenities here. Hello? Yeah. Well, you know how stubborn teriyaki man can be. Well, do I ever, I’ll tell you.

Victor and Justin had an hour long stare down over which movie to watch on Peacock

I’m sorry, Maggie, I, I shouldn’t be bragging on your husband. You know, I just think he’s a hoop. No, it’s okay. I know you put up with a lot from him. Do you know it’s my anniversary time. Oh, honey. Really? Yeah, I married Victor 11 years ago to the day, Maggie. Yeah. Congratulations. Are you, gosh, what are you guys doing to celebrate?

Oh, just Victor and I were just gonna just, just be together if, were you not doing anything with family? Well, I can’t, I can’t see my daughter. Or my son-in-law because of Xander’s, ridiculous. Qui with Victor. That’s not right. No, no, no, no, no. Those two need to make a move on. Well, they can’t because they won’t even talk to each other.

You know what, mag pie, I think you should let Bon Bon handle this one. Well, that’s very sweet of you to care so much, but

do you really think you can fix this? I know I can. I’ll get this family back on track. You just watch and see

has this vital woman, she made a ransom demand. Ah, no idea. She told me to await further. Ah, she’s tying with you. You know, we should get the police involved. I don’t think that’s a good idea. Tommy, listen, I’m aware that you hate Ray Fernandez, but if we could use the department’s resources, I’m sure that he’d be more than willing to help, especially after what Ava did to him.

Maybe you are right. Perhaps I should bring Reef into this

is my mother. All right. Oh, well. Hello to you too, ej. Yeah, she’s fine for now. You ready to hear my demands?

Why the hell is it taking you so long to get back to me? Oh, I would watch my tone if I were you. Well that is if you ever want your kids to see their southern FRA granny again, I swear to you, if you do anything to harm my mother, there will be no safe place on a FU to hide from me. AJ wanna antagonize her.

The hell I don’t. You realize you’re in no position to make any threats. We are the ones making the threats. I’m the one calling the shots. Just tell me what you want. I thought you’d never. Well, in exchange for the safe return of your mother, you are going to give me 20 million.

Oh. You do have a wife. I didn’t say that. Oh, you didn’t have to. I know things. Oh yeah. I was warned. You’re psychic . I am . Did you make you nervous? I believe in all that nonsense. Oh, I assure you missed a clown. It most certainly is not non. You see, the universe has blessed me with the gift of Second Son, and that’s how you knew I was married.

Now tell me you’re wearing your wedding ring.

The one and only. Is everything okay with Mom and Victor? Well, um, not exactly what, uh, what’s wrong? Well, honey, I hate to be the bear of bad news, but your mom is in a right state. Did she say why? Well, you do know today is your mom on Victor’s wedding anniversary, right? Oh my God, I totally forgot. Yeah.

Well I figured with all the fussing and fighting between Xander and Victor that it had well, slept your mind. She told you about that. Well, honey, we live in the same house. It’s . Kinda hard to miss. Um, but tonight you and Victor and Xander are all gonna put that behind you. Okay, you’re gonna grab your hunky husband and you’re gonna come up here to the mansion for dinner.

Oh, well, I was, um, just about to order dinner for one at the pub and, and Xander’s working late. Honey, you could have Roman Brady’s warmed up chowder any day tonight. You and Zander are dining with family. It is high time to carry out this plant gathered under one roof, and your mother and Victor’s anniversary is the perfect time to do it.

Okay? Okay. Got it. Good. See you later. Bye-Bye.

Hey, do you decide what you want? Um, well, uh, change of. Looks like I’m going to be playing referee all night, honey. It was just a photo shoot. I know what it was. Nicole, I’m not sure you do. I, I mean, you’re assuming that Eric and I wanted to be on the cover together, which we did not. And like I said, this was Alex’s idea.

He insisted, why are you looking at me like. Because I wish that you would respect me enough to stop trying to gaslight me. What? Stop. I wouldn’t do that. You’re acting like I am not seeing what is right in front of me. Could you just listen to me? Please? Please. Okay. Eric and I were told to. Act like we were attracted to each other, and that’s what we did.

Modeling is acting. I was playing a role, honey, what you are seeing here is just pictures. That’s it. Picture, yeah. Pictures. Pictures, yeah. Pictures of my wife looking like she wants to tear the clothes off of R’s husband.

Look, I, I knew doing the photo shoot was a bad idea. I should have trusted my instinct.

Why didn’t you?

Because. Alex wouldn’t take no for an answer, and I got caught up in the excitement of modeling. Again. You know what this, this isn’t even about the pictures.

It’s about us. Our marriage,

this stupid photo shoots just forces us to face the real issue.

There’s no issue.

I need you to be honest with me.

I need you to be honest with yourself.

This thing between you and Harry never really went away, did it?

How many times do I have to tell you, Eric is in my past? You are my present and my future. I have a husband and Eric has a girlfriend, and there’s, there’s nothing romantic between us anymore. I mean, we’re friends. Yes, we work together. Yes, but that’s it. End of story.

I hear you, bud, about what?

But it sounds to me like you’re not just trying to convince me. You’re trying to convince yourself.

Oh, oh good. Maggie. Um, do you like salmon or the uh, uh, that fish I can never remember the name of. Quick wants to know what I mean. You know what? Nevermind. We’ll have salmon. Okay. What is this all about? Well, it’s about the dinner party that I am throwing in honor of your. Really? Yes. Really the dinner party to which Zander and Sarah will be attending.

Really? Yes. They’re great to call me. Yes. I told you I could pull it off. it. Oh, that’s wonderful. You really are a miracle worker, Bonnie Honey. I do do it. Well, I know sweat. I mean, I just told Sarah that it was important to you and she agreed that the occasion was very important, so she’ll talk Sandra into it.

Oh, you really are a miracle. I’m so impressed. . So is Justin attending? Um, well, unfortunately, no. He is in Arizona visiting the twins. But on the bright side, when Sandra and Victor are reunited, they will give this family so much more to celebrate. We’re all back together again. Right. Oh, well, let’s just hope the boys behave themselves tonight.

didn’t worry about a thing. I have hugged tied my sheriff or Barcos in my day. . Okay. Am going to get this Kiki family back on track if it kills them. kills me. No, because kills . Whatever. We’ll get him back on track. . Alright. You got me? Yeah. I’m married. . So does Mrs. Clown know what you’re up to? Just leave my wife out of this.

No, no. Mr. Clown, I can’t do that. In fact, you know what I’m gonna send her. Message right now. What? Who I need you, Mrs. Clown, I you, to reach out to your wayward husband, make him stop his shameful and wicked wage and that’s enough. I’m putting the gag back in

me. You.

Do you really think I’m gonna let you steal even more money from my family than you already have? Oh, I didn’t realize you were the type of man that valued money more than your mother’s life. My mother is priceless to me. Okay, then prove it. Pay the 20 mil. You get your mommy back, and we can all go on with our lives.

Just like that. Just like that. You should be grateful. I’m not asking for more. I’ll give you your money. So how do we do this? What do we need for the exchange? . Oh, and risk. Risk. One of your hired goons taking me out on site. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no. Not a chance. You are gonna wire the funds into an offshore account and I will text you the info.

And then what? Well, once I see that the been transferred, I’ll tell you where you can collect. Mommy. Weirdest.

I’ve never been so proud. I’ve never loved you more.

Please, please.

Hello darling. Well, finally you answered, I was about to send out a search party. Sorry, Pam. I’m still stuck at the office. I guess they really wanted to hit the ground running here at Rednecks. What’s up? Uh, well, Bonnie just called, she wants us to come to dinner tonight at the Mansion. It’s Mom and Victor’s anniversary.

Oh, Sarah, I, uh, I know, I know, I know, I know. I know that you are still mad at Victor, but Bonnie said that Mom is really bummed about the Rift in the family, and it would just mean the absolute world to her and to me. So please, baby. Please, please, please. Will you come?

Since it’s from Maggie, you are the sweetest. How far are you from the mansion? Not far at all, as it turns out. Oh, well, perfect. I will see you there.

Well, I’m gonna go upstairs and change, and I’m gonna check on Victor and we don’t wanna start the evening with him in a lousy mood because he can’t find his cuff links. ? No, you check on Moneybags. I check on Cook. I wanna thank you Bonnie so much. It means a lot. Oh Maggie, it’s my pleasure. . You’re so sweet.

Listen, be before we go. Do what we need to do. Okay. I actually have a question for you. Yes. Um, you remember when Justin and I were first dating, you had me over to the house for dinner? Yeah, I do. Okay. I remember coming in and sitting on the table, the two. Charming stainless steel lanterns. Now I checked it out.

11th anniversary is steel. So I was thinking they would make the perfect centerpiece for our table tonight. Oh, do you know, that’s a lovely idea. I, um, I’m Missy, I keep them in the back, in the gardening shed. Oh, okay. Okay. I’ll, I’ll run out there. I’ll grab him. I’ve seen him in. Uh, bye . Bye. It’s done now.

Going back now. I kind of wish you made EJ sweat a little longer, but I’m happy for you. Pretty soon you’ll be swimming in cash and then you can go back to being the power player you always meant to be. Aren’t you glad you listened to your good son?

So how harsh you have to come up with the train. A million. I can help you move assets around if you like. Thank you, Tony. I appreciate the offer, but that won’t be necessary. You are going to pay it, aren’t you? I’m going to do whatever it takes to bring my mother home.

Look, I understand why you’re upset and why you reacted the way you did to those pictures, but let’s just go home and talk about it. I thought we just did.

What more is there to say?

Did you see these photos? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt. Oh, no, no, no, no. I was just leaving. We both were. We’re about to head home. No, actually, I’m gonna go. I’m gonna go and get a beer alone. Besides, I’m sure the two of you have a lot of catching up. Cause I mean, this incredible photo shoot. Ra, no, listen, I’m not interested in what you have to say.

Ra, wait, please wait. Damnit. Hi. This I’m Go talk to No. No. Okay. Did you see how upset he was going after him is only gonna make things worse? Did you tell him it’s not what he thinks it is? Of course, I.

He’s not stupid. Eric, Nicole, what do you mean? Oh, come on. He sees what’s going on.

Everyone does.

Baby here. Oh, I told you I was close by. Hey, how was your, uh, first day at work? It was interesting. Yeah. We’ll talk about it when we get home. Yeah. Okay.

Oh, I am so pleased you’re both here. Happy. Oh my goodness. Thank you darling. Thank you, . Congratulations 11 years. my uncle. It’s quite an achievement. Don’t I know it? , where uh, is everyone else? Um, Justin is in Arizona and Victor. He hasn’t come down yet. Bonnie. Wasn’t this evening her idea? Uh, yes. Yes. The last time I saw Bonnie, she was heading out to the gardening shed.

Hey, now where would I be if I were.

Let me notice. As soon as it’s taken care of,

he did it. You wired around some money to Ava’s account? Not exactly. What does that mean? Not exactly.

Well that must be EJ letting me know that you just made the transfer . That didn’t take long. Do you see the kind of respect you command when you listen to me?

No, no, no, no, no, no. What’s wrong?

What are you saying, Nicole?

Alex? Chloe Rafe, everyone sees it. She’s what? The connection between us, the chemistry, it’s still there. You can’t deny it. Not in those photos, none. When we’re in the same room together,

we don’t have to do this right now. Listen, emotions are high. All.

Let’s just not say anything that we wish we wouldn’t have said.

Like what? Something honest

you. Are you tired of fighting it? And I know I am. I’ve been fighting it since the day you came back to town. Lying to myself pretending that I’m over you, pretending that I’m not jealous of you and Jada. I’m trying to do the right thing. I’m just trying to, I’m trying to give you the space and I try to respect your marriage.

I started, I started seeing somebody. No matter what I do, I always find myself like where I started. Same place with you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

This place looks great. Huh? Yeah. Oh, wow. Look at… oh. That’s a beautiful photo of brando. Yeah, planning the post-funeral reception is the least I can do for sasha. Thank you. Yeah. Okay. I see the way you’re looking at your dad. Just keep telling yourself that this day is about brando and for us to help out sasha and gladys any way we can. Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. Come on. Thanks for letting me ride with you guys. Austin’s at the hospital, and I didn’t want to be alone. Yeah, of course. I knew the garden would be the perfect place for the reception. We got a perfect autumn morning. Right? How you doing? I’m okay. Thank you for coming. Yeah, we wouldn’t be any place else. Come here. The funeral was very touching. Whatever you and gladys need, we are all here for you. Okay? Thank you.

[ Chuckles softly ] Wow. Everything looks beautiful, nina. Thank you. Of course, brando would be the first person to say that you shouldn’t have gone to so much fuss. Can just hear him.

[ Knock on door ] Joss. What are you doing here? I-I could ask you the same thing.

[ Knock on door ] Jordan: Come in. Hey. I got your message. It sounded important. It is. Oh, was there a break in whoever attacked diane and ava and killed brando corbin? I was just at brando’s funeral. And other than diane telling us the attacker was a woman, we don’t have very much. But that’s not why I asked you to come by. Read what’s inside this envelope. Your future depends on it. I have a very busy day ahead. I have to figure out what I’m gonna be doing now that I’m — I’m closing the gallery. So I’d really appreciate it if we could wrap this up. …The location… portia, I’m feeling really well. You know, my wound is — is — is almost healed now. So is there — is there something else wrong with me? On it.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you, amy. Portia? Wha–

[ Chuckles ]

[ Door closes ] After everything I’ve been through, whatever it is, I can take it. Counting our blessings, are we? I was just reviewing some documents. Hmm. I assume you’ll soon be adding another important document to that safe of yours — your finalized divorce decree. But, of course, you insisted on hiring your own lawyer. So I hope he’s filed all the paperwork correctly. I said I would handle it, didn’t it? Forgive me, but I’ve seen how you “handle” ava — signing a false confession to murdering esme. You know, that little mea culpa of yours could have sent you to prison for life if valentin hadn’t gotten it away from ava. Now, fortunately, your ridiculous romantic gesture won’t be coming back to haunt us. And neither will esme prince. May she rest in peace. Okay, guys. You can take him.

[ Police radio chatter ] Dead body of a john doe on pier 55. Apparent stab wound. No driver’s license or id. Hopefully we’ll know more once the M.E. Takes a look.

[ Static crackles, radio chatter ] Thanks.


I’m so grateful to you, nina, for all the trouble you’ve gone to. I-it’s no trouble at all. You thought of everything, right? Like brando’s favorite drink. Beer. Root beer.

[ Laughter ] That was always his favorite. Ever since he was a little boy. I, uh — I can’t watch this anymore. I’m gonna get a drink. Do you want anything? I’m good. Thanks. You, uh — you alright? No. No, I’m not. Hey, willow. Here’s a club soda. Drink up. Doctor’s orders.

[ Chuckles ] Sonny: Can we all just gather around? Uh, raise your glasses. I want to make a toast to — to brando. Brando was an incredible son. A kind and loving husband. He left us way too soon. He had a — he had a big laugh.

[ Chuckles ] But most importantly, he had a big heart. To brando. To never be forgotten.

[ Glasses and bottles clink ] Why aren’t you at the hospital? Then I couldn’t be here to let you in. Huh. You know what I mean. Look at yourself. You’re covered in bruises from what sonny did to you. Yeah, I’m a little sore. A little? Okay. I-I hurt everywhere. Especially my wrists. It could have been a lot worse if you hadn’t shown up. Never really got the chance to thank you for rescuing me, did I? Well, it looks like the divorce papers are all ready to go. There’s a receipt inside the envelope that proves I submitted them to the court. I want you to keep that. I don’t need a receipt. I take you at your word that they’ll be filed. Now we just need a court to sign off… and, um, we’ll officially be divorced. I’d feel better if you held onto the receipt. It’s something you can show portia since I botched things the first time around. Right. Jordan, this is what doesn’t make sense to me. You’re one of the most organized people I’ve ever known, so it just doesn’t add up that you would misplace the original papers. What can I say? Nobody’s perfect. I think I proved that during our marriage, right? Jordan, it takes two people to make a marriage and two people to mess it up. Now, let’s be honest — I think we both know that our marriage was over long before we signed those papers. Maybe for you. But not for me. Physically, you are recovering just fine. But as your doctor, it’s my job to treat the whole patient. And, ava, I want you to take care of yourself. To be honest, I-I’m — I’m a little bit worried about your well-being. Trina told me that you closed your gallery, and I know that that was far more than just a business to you. Well, actually, that — that’s your fiancé’s fault, really.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ] How is that exactly? Uh, curtis came to see me, and he told me that he was worried about trina working in the gallery with some serial slasher roaming around. And — and he was right. As much as I hated that I won’t be working with trina for now, I… I have to do whatever I can to protect her from any future repeat attack, right? Yeah, and I think you did the right thing. I think you did the right thing for trina and for you. But I need you to know that working at your gallery was far more than just a job to trina. And I never got to thank you for arranging the fellowship at the chuck for her. Well, that — that was curtis’ idea, actually. I just made a couple of phone calls and gave trina a sterling recommendation, which she earned. Yeah, I just feel badly that — that trina seems to resent curtis for setting that in motion. She said she already has one protective father looking out for her. Right. Okay, well, if there isn’t anything else, I really have spent more than my fair share of time at G.H. Lately. Okay. There is just — just one more thing. I-I just want you to make sure that you are focusing on keeping yourself out of harm’s way, okay? A-and since the gallery is off limits, at least you know you’re gonna be safe at wyndemere, right? Esme is lying in the bottom of the harbor, courtesy of your wife. And no one need be any the wiser. Despite your ridiculous attempt to take the blame for the murder in order to woo ava. So you just proceed with this divorce as planned… and no more confessions in the name of love. Are we clear on that? Nikolas: “I, nikolas cassadine… of sound mind and body do hereby acknowledge and confess that I, and I alone, am responsible for the disappearance of esme prince. I know this because I killed her.” The means? My own two hands. Victor: Nikolas. You always were a poor judge of women and a — a fool for their charms. So I want you to tell me the truth. What else does ava got on you? Esme: Bad for you, oz. But good for me.

[ Sighs ] This won’t get me through today. Wyndemere… here I come.


I am no longer living at wyndemere. I’m happy that nina has offered me a place to stay, stay with her. I’m grateful for that. And plus there’s the added benefit of knowing that sonny’s looking out for nina, so… which means that he’ll be looking out for you. Yeah, well, you know, as avery’s mother, sonny does want to keep me safe. Well, good. You know, I’m glad that you have someplace — someplace to go, but, um… but what? Ava, you know I have no love for nikolas or his son spencer. But I do know that you’re still in love with your husband, even after everything that’s happened. And I just hope, for your sake, that you really finally leave nikolas and never look back. I gotta say, I’m surprised to hear you say that. But I’m with portia now. I know. All I’m saying is, is I never made it a secret about how I felt. I was ready to fight for our marriage if you had been. I couldn’T. By that point, there was too much damage — too much damage for me to even try again. Too many secrets. Too many lies. I’m a former cop. I know that some of the deception comes with the job. But not all of it. No. Not all of it. And you’re a man who values honesty above everything else in relationships. Look, I’m not trying to say I’m holier than thou, but in my book, if you can’t trust the person you love, then who can you trust? And you’ve found what you’re looking for in portia. Is that a question or a statement? I really, really do want you to be happy, curtis. I hope you know that. Then why do you make it sound like there’s a reason we won’t be? Is this your look for the day,or are you gonna button that?

[ Dex groaning ] Uh, just gonna grab a — grab a t-shirt. Hey. No. It’s — it’s fine. I’ll do it. The wrong button there, but… thanks. You can thank me by making sure sonny never does this to anybody again. Thank you. Nina. A word, please. Olivia. Please. Not today. For sasha’s sake, please. I ju– I just wanted to say this is really beautiful. The setup. It’s — it’s tasteful. It’s lovely. It’s really — it’s really well done. Thank you. Appreciate that. How are you feeling today? I am hanging in there. Good. Okay. Don’t look now, but nina is watching us as if we are stealing the silverware. What’s nina’s problem with us? She saw us hug the other day at the hospital, and now she has it in her head that we are having an affair. She what?! Yeah. Don’t let it get to you. I don’T. It seems nina judges everyone by her own shabby standards. Hey. Sonny: Hey. Look. I just want you to know that I-I’m still here for you. Okay? Whatever you need. You may regret that offer.

[ Chuckles ] No, no. Never. I keep trying to remind myself that brando’S… not alone. He’s got — he’s got mike. It’s just — it’s still really sad. Yeah, brando was too young to die. But, you know, I see sasha and how she’s handling this so well. I admire her courage. Makes me more determined than ever to find out who did this. Maxie: Sam? Yeah. Oh. Sorry. Um, can I borrow you for a second? Yeah, sure. I’ll be back. Hm. So, I, uh, hope your investigation leads to the actual perp. Unlike our father. What? What are you talking about — sonny? How you doing, gladys? I can’T. Can’t do it. I can’t be brave like sasha. You know what? It’s normal. Brando was your only child. That hu– nothing hurts like that. I can’t fill up my mind with other things and forget. I don’t think that’s what sasha’s doing. I think she’s, you know — she’s holding it together for brando’s sake, ’cause that’s what he would have wanted. I keep thinking about when I came to town to see mike… and I told everyone brando was dead. I couldn’t stand to admit that I was ashamed of him and his addiction. And then one day he showed up. I was given a second chance. My son and i had a chance to have the kind of life that our cousin sonny had. A picture-perfect marriage, beautiful, loving children. You had it all. Well, looks can be deceiving, you know? Time has proven that. Nothing in life is guaranteed.


Nt to let you knowI made a decision this morning. Best thing for me to do going forward is pack up and go back to bridgeport. Gladys. I’ve known you to be a lot of things over the years. A little greedy, a little selfish. But one thing I’ve never known you to be… is a coward. Hey. Thank you both for coming. Of course. Molly had to get back to the courthouse, but she wanted me to pass on her condolences. Oh. Tell her I said thank you. Will do. Hey, tj, I know that you and brando had a little falling-out, but it meant a lot to him that you guys patched things back up. I just wish that you had more years of being friends. But nothing lasts forever. Can you give us a minute? Sure. I’m okay, willow. It’s the day of your husband’s funeral. Nobody is expecting you to be “okay.” I’m just sorry I haven’t been around more for you. I — I understand why you stayed away. You do? You didn’t think that I could handle you having michael and wiley and a baby on the way.

[ Sighs ] I’m just happy for you, willow. Your life is pretty perfect. Nina, I appreciate youpulling out all the stops today for sasha, and I’m not surprised, considering my uncle curtis is one of your biggest fans. I feel the same about him. What I don’t understand is why you’d stick your nose in and suggest something’s happening between willow and me. I know you and portia love each other. It’s plain to see whenever you’re together. The two of you have done more than just buy a house together. You’ve done everything you can to create a family. And not just for the two of you, but for your dad and aunt stella. And don’t forget about trina. Even though she’s away at college, living in the dorms, our house is her home, as well. No. Of course. And it’s because of trina that —

[ Sighs ] Because of trina what? What about trina?

[ Telephone ringing ] I need to take this.

[ Ringing continues ]

[ Ringing stops ]Commissioner ashford. What? When did this happen and where? Okay. I’ll be right there. Thanks. What’s wrong? We have another victim. Have you guys heard? It happened again. No, we haven’t heard, nurse driscoll. I’m just trying to get my patient safely home. What happened again, amy? A john doe was just brought in. Another guy is dead after being stabbed. According to the coroner, he was likely attacked by the same woman with a hook. They weren’t able to identify him, but I recognized him right away. Because he’d been a patient here not that long ago. Well, who is it?! That bartender guy who testified at trina’s trial.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Oz haggerty? Wai– ava. Ava? Don’t you think we should talk about this? No. I-I have to go. You just don’t get it. It’s not about what ava has on me or what I have on her.

[ Scoffs ] Well, tell that to the young lady ava pushed over the parapet. Ava swears that it was an accident. Well, fine. Say that I, uh — say I believe here. Do you really think the police would? Or a jury? Ava had just discovered you had slept with your son’s girlfriend. She was out for revenge on esme. And to frame you for the crime… would be an act of love. Ava didn’t twist my arm. She didn’t threaten me. I proved to her that she could trust me again in spite of the terrible mistake that I made with esme. I earned ava’s trust by putting my life in her hands. And I did it willingly, with my eyes wide open. But you can’t understand that, can you, uncle? I can understand you’re acting like a damn fool. It’s sad. Despite all of your conquests… you’ve never really been in love.


Gladys. You can’t cut and run. You got to be here. For sasha. You got to be strong for her. ‘Cause brando can’t be. Now, look, look. You know, listen to me. Sasha has been through — she has — she has lost a child and her husband. No one knows that kind of pain. Only you do because you have lost a son and a grandchild. You got — you got to be here for her. You guys got to be here for each other. Today, the next day, and the day after. I wish I was as strong as you think I am. But you’re not gonna have to do this alone. You’re not gonna have to grieve alone. I’m gonna be here for you. You know, brando used to come to me… for advice. Not for tuning up engines or — or business. He thought I had all the answers. But the thing is, you know, I told him I didn’T. He used to come to me and he’d say… …”how can I be a better… father, a better husband?” And I’d say to him… “there’s nothing more important than family.” Success. Power. Money. And I-I just want you to know that you’re always gonna be part of my family. Of course, family’s the most important thing. A lot of money doesn’t hurt, though, right? That is the gladys that I know.

[ Laughs ] Ohh. I-I know my life might look perfect, but it’s not. Is there an issue with the baby? Oh. No, no, no. No. The baby’s fine. Then, willow, is there an issue with you? No, no, no. I’m fine. It’s just, um… it’s just not all smooth sailing.

[ Sighs ] I get it. You lost harmony not long after you found out that she wasn’t your biological mother. That’s a lot. Right. You know, if this year has taught me anything, it’s that good things and bad things can happen at the same time. Which is why I feel so fortunate to have a friend like you. And I hope that never changes. No. Never. Tj, whatever is going on with your “friendship” with willow, I’m just giving you a friendly warning. Take it from me. You do not want michael corinthos as an enemy. Did the pcpd have a legitimate reason to suspect dex heller? Well, I can’t talk about the details of an ongoing investigation. But, yeah, dex was brought in as a person of interest until diane told us that her attacker was a woman. Why? Well, before diane made her id, sonny took matters into his own hands and almost played judge, jury, and executioner. Look. If you don’t believe me, go talk to dex. I already told you. I don’t want to get the cops involved. Yeah, but you didn’t tell me why. You’re not a fugitive, are you? No. Not afraid to incriminate yourself in your own kidnapping and torture? No. So then why are you protecting sonny? You hate your stepfather. Okay? I-I get it. And you don’t? He’s not my favorite person at the moment, no. Listen. So many people, so many good people have been protecting sonny for so long. Someone has to take him down. You sound like your brother. How do you know I sound like michael?

[ Sighs ] They changed the locks? Like that’s gonna stop me. I will not be schooled in the art of love by a man who bedded his son’s ex-girlfriend because his own wife wanted nothing more to do with him. I’ve experienced

real passion, the kind you’ll never know.

[ Chuckles ] Are you talking about what you had with liesl obrecht? No, I believe that’s called obsession, not passion. And she clearly wants nothing to do with you. What ava and I have, now that happens once in a lifetime. Wait, wait. Don’t you mean “had”? Your divorce is well under way. Oh, you can force me to divorce her. But the way I feel for ava, that will never —

[ Door rattling ]

[ Thud ] Wha–


We’re supposed to be here honoring brando and supporting sasha and gladys. Okay? Can you put this on hold for today? Just today. Look, look, look. Dex was brought into the pcpd for questioning. Sonny shows up to get him out, then dex and sonny, they leave together. And dex, he disappears for 48 hours. Okay, you know our father as well as I do. Where the hell do you think dex was? I want to thank you. Everything is just so lovely. No need to thank me. Well, then maybe I can repay you like this. I know everyone thinks I’m self-absorbed. And let’s face it — sometimes I am. But I’ve seen the strain between you and michael. I spent two years trying to make things right with brando. We were almost there. And then I ran out of time. Don’t make my mistake. Don’t think you have forever to make things right with michael. Do it now. It’s no big secret whenever I’m with sonny and we run into michael, he goes after him with both barrels. And, you know, I gotta say, t-the way boss keeps his cool with michael attacking him, it’s impressive. It sounds like you admire sonny. He looks after the people he cares about. This? This is sonny looking after the people he cares about? I didn’t say I like it. I just said I get it.

[ Sighs ] Don’t you see? That’s exactly what he’s doing. He wants you to be able to give him the benefit of the doubt. Dex, he’s never gonna do that for you, okay? You need to quit his organization right now before you get in any deeper. Who says I want out? The john doe at the morgue has been identified by a previous stay at G.H. Name is oz haggerty… I didn’t expect to see you here. Jordan asked me to come by to show me a new set of the divorce papers. They’ve officially been filed. So it won’t be long now, huh? Too late to back out now. Thanks. Talk to you soon.

[ Receiver clicks ] Uh, don’t you two have a wedding to plan? Oh — yeah, we do. But if there’s anything you need to help find this attacker, you know, we’re here to help. Sadly, the files are getting thicker and thicker. The only thing we have to go off is that diane said the attacker is a woman, so we really aren’t any closer. There is something that three of the victims have in common. What’s that? My daughter. Don’t touch me. Listening in on keyholes, are we, now? Oh, don’t flatter yourself. I have absolutely zero interest in what you and nikolas talk about. What are you doing here? Oh, I-I just wanted to tell you that there’s been another fatal attack. This time, the victim was that bartender, the — the one who esme tried to keep from testifying for trina. Thank you for the update. But, uh —

[ Chuckles ] You could have just called with the news. I was just gonna come and get some of my clothes. But never mind. If you would, could you please ask the staff to pack up my things and have them sent to nina’s? Perhaps I should come with you just as added protection. Suit yourself. Nikolas: Ava. Thank you. For the warning. You know, on second thought, thank you for the offer, victor, but I can take care of myself. Oh, I have no doubt about that. But it is a wicked world out there.


What was the combination? Spencer’s birthday.

[ Beeping ] Who the hell are you?! I know it’s been a very difficult day for everyone who loved brando and who loves sasha. Michael, make sure that willow gets home safe and gets some rest. I can take care of myself. Tj, could I get a ride with you? Of course. Michael: Thanks, tj. I’ll see you at home, alright? Okay. Nina, can you give me and michael a minute? I’m — I-I want to have a conversation with my son. I-I don’t know how, but trina is the common denominator. I mean, first there was ava, a-and she isn’t just trina’s boss. She’s her mentor and supported her the whole time during the trial. And then there was diane miller, who came in when scott baldwin had to step away. And she was brilliant in defending trina the best way she possibly could. And now oz haggerty? It was his testimony saying that he sold the black-market phone to esme prince and not trina that proved trina’s innocence. Yes, at first glance, your theory makes sense that there’s a pattern, but what about brando corbin? Is there a connection to trina that I’m not aware about? He’s the only exception. Trina barely knew brando. Unless… unless what? Unless brando wasn’t the attacker’s real target. Josslyn jacks had just been in that same alley outside charlie’S. Josslyn is connected to trina. Josslyn: Well, just so you know, next time sonny turns against you, do not wait for me to come rescue you. There might not be a next time. Yes. There will be. Sonny will betray you, just like he’s betrayed everybody else. And I just really hope you can see the man he really is before it’s too late for you.

[ Door closes ] Son of a bitch. I’m gonna go get some water. Okay. So, um… gladys shared something with me that I… I-I wanted to share with you. She said it’s too late to make things right with brando, but she thinks it’s not too late for us to make things right. And I — and I took that to heart. Lo– okay. Can — I just want you to hear me out. I want to make things right between us. Whatever it takes. How can I help you, detective? I want to ask you some questions about what happened between you and my father after brando corbin was killed.

[ Dramatic music ]

Brooke: I didn’t sign them because I refuse to believe that this is happening.

Ridge: It isn’t easy for me either.

Brooke: Okay, well, then just take those papers and throw them in the fireplace or rip them to shreds. Just do something. Don’t make me–

Ridge: I thought this was the best way to handle it.

Brooke: Really? You thought the best way to handle it was have carter come over and drop off the annulment papers? Come on, ridge, can we just talk about this? Whatever this is.

Ridge: I don’t have anything else to say.

Brooke: I need you to tell me why this is happening.

Steffy: Can’t believe dad’s actually doing it.

Thomas: Yeah, brooke needs to accept that dad’s done with her.

Steffy: I wonder what pushed him over the edge.

Thomas: Something happened.

Steffy: I don’t know, maybe he’s just over all the heartache, betrayal.

Thomas: That’s– that’s why this doesn’t bother me so much, you know. It’s just brooke’s finally done hurting dad, and he can just move forward and be happy, fulfilled, and content with our mother, and we can finally stop talking about brooke.

Steffy: Yeah, I’m just really over it. I text mom, I told her to come here. Wait ’til she finds out what happened.

Thomas: You know, seeing– seeing everyone so happy in my life, it makes it all worth it.

Liam: I kind of like to avoid thomas while I’m here.

Hope: Oh well, you are in luck because he and steffy are in a meeting.

Liam: Oh, cool. I mean, not that thomas wants to see me either.

Hope: Yeah, probably not.

Liam: My opinion of thomas aside, nothing can diminish what you pulled off the other night, the entire fashion industry, and by the way, I know this because I am in publishing, is raving about it. Are you on a crazy high right now? Because you should be.

Hope: Honestly, it hasn’t really sunk in because I haven’t had time to think. There’s been so many orders and interview requests, it’s just…

Liam: I get it. Well, I’m so proud of you and everything you’ve accomplished. Hell, I’m even proud to be married to you. Even if I wish thomas weren’t a key part of that.

Liam: I’m not trying to get into it, but you at least understand where I’m coming from when it comes to thomas, right?

Hope: What? Stop.

Stop. Yeah, I completely understand where you’re coming from when it comes to thomas, so don’t worry. I know I need to be cautious with him.

Liam: Cool, that’s–

Katie: Hope, thank god I’ve been looking for you.

Hope: Katie, hi.

Katie: Have you heard?

Hope: No, what?

Liam: Er, what?

Katie: Ridge had annulment papers served to your mother.

Steffy: I am just so happy for mom. She’s wanted this forever. Where is she?

Thomas: Uh, have you heard of a thing called traffic?

Steffy: I’m just really excited for her. I want her to be here.

Thomas: Yeah, I know.

Taylor: Okay. What’s going on?

Thomas: Mom, hey.

Taylor: I got your text. All I saw was get here now, it’s important, all caps.

Steffy: It kinda is.

Thomas: Yeah.

Taylor: Okay, well, I am here now. So, what’s going on? Come on, I had to reschedule a patient.

Thomas: Well, I think you’re gonna want the rest of the day off to celebrate after you hear this incredible news.

Steffy: Well, it’s incredible for you and dad not so much for brooke.

Taylor: What are you talking about?

Brooke: You want to just wipe away all of the memories that we’ve ever had?

Ridge: That’s impossible. I remember every moment I spent with you.

Brooke: Well, it’s not the end, ridge, it’s not. We were just settling in. And yes, I know that we’ve both done things and we’ve forgiven each other for that. We’ve moved–

Ridge: The damage has been done, you see that!

Brooke: What damage? I don’t get it. What is it? What is it that is making you want to end our marriage? Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Katie: I can’t believe ridge is really doing this.

Liam: Yeah, I mean, in aspen, he ended things rather suddenly, but I don’t think any of us expected that to last.

Hope: Well, no. I mean, my mom really kept the faith that he would come home.

Katie: She held on to her marriage, even though it was being targeted.

Liam: I.E. Thomas and taylor guilt tripping the hell out of him.

Hope: Okay, well, let’s not forget about steffy pressuring her dad nonstop to basically leave his wife. And now he and taylor are back living in their old beach house and pretending like his marriage never even existed. And I’m sorry, that is weird, right? Like, this is weird.

Liam: No, it’s weird. I mean, bird’s eye view, it doesn’t make any sense.

Katie: Well, imagine how brooke feels.

Hope: I– I don’t know. Do you think it might be the situation with douglas? Or maybe because she has concerns about thomas that this influenced his decision.

Liam: Yeah, there’s no way that helped. And, you know, behind the scenes, thomas has been milking that.

Katie: It’s almost like he has to choose between one family and the other.

Liam: Which like, as if you couldn’t have both those things after 30 years of this, like…

Hope: I really thought they were back on track. I thought they were working things out, but then ridge goes to aspen and everything goes to hell. I mean, why? What happened?

Steffy: Yeah, yeah, a lot has changed.

Taylor: Okay. What is it? I’m here, tell me.

Thomas: Wait, you seriously don’t know.

Taylor: No. Oh, my god, baby, you’re pregnant.

Steffy: What? No. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But it wouldn’t be a bad idea to bring a beautiful child into this world as a loving, devoted family.

Thomas: Yeah, never more devoted or free.

Steffy: Yes. Or available.

Thomas: Mm-hmm.

Steffy: Yeah.

Thomas: Yeah, ready to commit to a new and improved life.

Steffy: Yeah, the world just has so many amazing possibilities out there. So many opportunities. The future is so bright.

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: Yeah.

Taylor: Oh, my god, you joined a cult.

Steffy: No, we were just savoring the moment. This is something we’ve been wanting for a long time.

Thomas: And now it’s finally here.

Taylor: Now you can finally tell me. What is going on?

Thomas: Well…

Steffy: We were talking to dad earlier.

Thomas: And he has done something major.

Steffy: Huge.

Taylor: What?

Thomas: Huge.

Steffy: Everything that dad said to you and aspen, about wanting you and only you? It’s happening. Dad is finally serving brooke annulment papers.

Ridge: I don’t want this. I don’t want any of this.

Brooke: Well, neither do I. I just want you here with me.

Ridge: I can’t do that.

Brooke: Ridge, we can. We still love each other. We can get past anything–

Ridge: Logan, I can’t do that.

Brooke: We have a great foundation. We have everything we need. I just– I need you to communicate with me. So, what is it? Is it bill?

Ridge: No, it’s not bill.

Brooke: Well, if it’s not bill, is it deacon?

Ridge: No, not bill or deacon, neither one of those clowns.

Brooke: Well, then what is it? Ridge, come on, please, I can’t read your mind. I need you to tell me what–

Ridge: All I wanted from you was some humanity, some kindness, some forgiveness! That’S… that’s my boy. You just… you gave up on, you gave up on my boy, my flesh and blood in the worst way.

Brooke: Thomas? This about thomas?

Ridge: I can’t battle with you anymore. Who says you have to spend more on skincare

Katie: What is so different now? What caused such a big wave that ridge just couldn’t take it anymore?

Hope: Seriously? I mean, where is this coming from? It’s not like they had some big blowout fight.

Katie: They– they– they were pretty happy. I mean, they had obstacles to overcome, sure but…

Hope: Well, they’ve overcome even worse.

Katie: Everything went south when ridge followed steffy and taylor to aspen.

Liam: Yes, super abruptly, by the way. Dude just hopped on a plane and turned everyone’s lives upside down.

Hope: Yeah, well, steffy was lobbying really hard for ridge to leave my mom.

Liam: I– no, I’m not absolving steffy of responsibility, but thomas was just as vocal, and come on, if I were a betting man, I’d say he was doing a little bit more than just gently coaxing them back together.

Katie: Okay but, what difference does it make? Ridge is a grown man who can make his own choices. Is he so impressionable that he listens to whatever his kids and his ex-wife have to say, and he doesn’t listen to his own heart?

Liam: Maybe both things can be true at once. I mean, brooke’s been pretty damn adamant that– that thomas is using douglas in our whole custody thing to drive a wedge between her and ridge. And if that’s true, the guy’s succeeded. Which, I– see, this is why I’m always saying that thomas is always up to no good.

Taylor: Wow. So– so he– he asked for an annulment from brooke?

Thomas: He told us himself. Carter did all the paperwork.

Steffy: Yeah, dad is invalidating his marriage to brooke. Which means he wants to be with you, mom. And start a life with you immediately.

Taylor: Yes. Yes, that is the plan. So, I mean, yeah…

Thomas: But he didn’t tell you he was doing it?

Taylor: No. Not– not that he was doing it today. I don’t know. I can just– I can just tell that something is weighing on him. Maybe it’s this decision.

Steffy: Of course, dad feels guilty about dumping brooke, but this is the best thing that could happen for you and dad.

Taylor: Yeah, look, don’t get me wrong. I am– I am happy, I really am, but look, I want your dad to be happy too.

Thomas: But that’s where you come in. You do make him happy.

Taylor: Yes, and listen, I am– I am so glad that he followed through with this. He really did it. And it’s great. It’s great for all of us. But don’t forget that brooke is very important to your father. Very important. And, you know, there’s some conflicting feelings going on with him, as usual. So…

Thomas: Okay, but brooke is gone and we should be popping champagne and celebrating. Brooke is finally out of our lives for good.

Brooke: Thomas? What about thomas?

Ridge: If it’s okay with you, I don’t want to play this game anymore. You know what the answer is?

Brooke: No, I don’T. I have expressed my concerns about some of the problems that he’s had in the past and whether or not he can parent douglas full-time. But that’s no reason to get an annulment. Ridge, I know you love your son unconditionally–

Ridge: Yes, I love my son. What about you? You couldn’t find even a small place in your heart. Not at all.

Brooke: I wish I could feel about thomas the way you do. And I really wish I could believe that he’s changed for the good, the way you and taylor think he has. But the fact is, I think that he is responsible for some of the issues that we’ve had in our marriage. And I know you’re not gonna like this, ridge, but he is being manipulative and not entirely truthful.

Ridge: Did you say truth? Okay, let’s be truthful. Is there anything you want to tell me about thomas?

You never know

what opportunities

Hope: So, are you implying that thomas had something to do with ridge and my mom being apart?

Liam: Well, do I think that thomas is 100% responsible? No. I am pretty familiar with ridge and brooke and their history and their marriage. But you know would I presume to know exactly what ended it? I– no. You know.

Hope: Yeah, I wish we had more clarity.

Liam: Yeah, I know it’s a mystery, but that is why I can’t help shaking the feeling that thomas is popping a bottle of champagne somewhere.

Hope: Liam.

Liam: Uh, look, okay. All I’m saying is, every time in the past when things have gone wrong and nobody can figure out why, it’s thomas. Why should this time be any different?

Taylor: You know, your dad has been talking a lot about our future together and– and what he wants it to look like. And he’s saying all the right things. But I’m– I’m still not convinced that, I don’t know, something’s gonna come along and– and make him change his mind and he’s going to do the old switcheroo again, you know?

Thomas: Hey, there’s no chance of that happening now.

Taylor: Oh, thank you, sweetheart. And I am happy, I really am, it’s just… I just, I still can’t help but wonder why your dad did this today.

Steffy: Well, whatever the reason, I’m just excited for you.

Taylor: Okay. I’m excited, too.

Brooke: What does thomas have to do with this?

Ridge: He’s my son.

Brooke: Okay… but what about us, ridge? What about our marriage and our relationship? You are my best friend. You’re my partner. You’re the love of my life. And I know you feel that same way about me.

Ridge: I love you so much. I will always love you.

Brooke: Okay, well, you don’t have to go through with this. You don’t have to be with taylor. It’s not gonna be the same. There’s always gonna be something missing.

Ridge: I thought it was… I thought it was gonna be you and me forever. But I can’t do this.

Brooke: But why? Why not? I mean, you didn’t even tell me what this is all about. Okay. Yeah, uh… well, you have clearly made your decision. You want to be with taylor. I’m not gonna stand in your way.

[ Brooke sighing ] Migraine hits hard, so u hit back with ubrelvy cbs. Cbs. Cbs. Cbs. I think I have an answer. The reason that ridge and I are ending our marriage is

Ridge: So we’re on, right? You and me on the tennis court, after you finish your math problems?

Douglas: Sure. You’re up for it? Last time I ran you all over the court.

Ridge: Please.

[ Door closes ]

Abby: [ Stammers ]

Amanda: What the hell?

Abby: [ Exhales heavily ] Chance. Chance!

Jack: [ Laughs ] And what did you say to him?

Adam: Oh, I told him instead of our traditional thanksgiving gifts, we should just give out live turkeys this year. Let people keep them on their desks as pets.

Jack: I’m guessing he didn’t find that funny.

Adam: No, not at all. Not at all. No matter where you go, which company you work for, human resources does not have a sense of humor.

Jack: Yeah, but do we want an hr department that’s cracking jokes all day?

Adam: Oh, come on. How about one? Just a single witty remark from H.R. — Is that too much to ask?

Jack: [ Chuckling ] Yes.

Nate: I appreciate your offer to be a sounding board, but it’s a personal issue. I need to handle it on my own.

Victoria: Okay. Well, just so you know, if you need any advice at all, I am much better at solving other people’s problems than my own.

Nate: I will keep that in mind. What I really need is something to divert my attention, like an exciting new job to challenge me.

Victoria: Oh. Well, I happen to have just the thing for you.

Nate: Thank you again for the opportunity.

Victoria: You know what? You deserve it. We’re so lucky to have you. I am looking forward to seeing you take newman media and running with it and to raise the division to new heights.

Sally: You must be my replacement.

Chance: [ Breathing heavily ]

Abby: I’m so sorry.

Amanda: Help the lady find her shirt, devon. Did you rip it off and throw it over there by the stairs? Or did she peel it off teasingly?

Devon: Please don’t do that.

Abby: I’m so sorry. I’m sorry. Chance. Chance! Chance! If you think all pads are exactly the same…

Additional sponsorship

provided by… my cholesterol is borderline.

Jack: Hey, nick.

Nick: Hey, jack.

Jack: Shame we didn’t get here earlier. You could have joined us for lunch.

Nick: Eh, I probably would have been lousy company anyway.

Adam: Mm-hmm. And that would be different than any other time how?

Jack: I assume you have seen the honeymooners since they got back from costa rica?

Nick: Yeah. Summer gave me a full report. She was practically glowing, especially when she talked about how much fun harrison had. But you know summer. She’s very fired up to be home and working at marchetti.

Jack: It is remarkable how positive summer is wherever she is. We are lucky to have her. She and kyle are doing an amazing job.

Adam: Yeah, some companies truly value their talented employees.

Nick: And some people know when to say goodbye. See you, jack.

Jack: See you nick. Okay, what was that all about?

Adam: Oh, just the usual newman nonsense.

Jack: Oh?

Adam: Look, why don’t we grab a table? I, uh, have a feeling that you invited me to lunch with a bigger agenda than finding out why nick and I are sniping at each other, so let’s just get to the point.

Victoria: We thought you’d be gone by now.

Sally: I had some things come up, and nick told me that i could take my time.

Victoria: I wasn’t aware of that.

Sally: Well, I didn’t think the new ceo was going to be starting until tomorrow. But welcome, nate.

Nate: Thanks. Um, I wasn’t scheduled to do more than on-boarding paperwork today. Guess I’m just a little excited to get started.

Sally: I know that feeling all too well. Well, I left, uh, hard copies of all of the new projects on the desk. Some of them we just started, but they all have really great potential. Unfortunately, others apparently did not share my vision.

Victoria: Sally, do you need any help with these boxes? I can call security and have them assist you to speed things along a little bit.

Sally: I’ve got it. Thanks. I’ve been through this before.

Victoria: Oh, I don’t doubt that.

Nate: I hope you realize it’s just business. I wasn’t looking to take your job. It just, um, worked out that way.

Sally: I know. It’s nothing personal on your part, and I have zero animosity towards you, nate. I truly wish you nothing but success.

Nate: I appreciate that. Same to you.

Victoria: Why don’t we introduce you to the rest of your staff while we give sally a chance to finish packing? I trust that you’ll be gone when we get back.

Sally: [ Exhales heavily ]

[ Door slams ]

Amanda: Really, devon? That’s what you want, the tall blonde?

Devon: Amanda, it just happened, okay? And I — we didn’t plan this. I didn’t know you were coming home.

Amanda: Oh, no, of course not. My presence was definitely unexpected and clearly unwanted.

Devon: It’s not like that.

Amanda: Mm, no? Then what’s it like?

Devon: No.

Amanda: Please tell me, devon.

Devon: I wish I could explain it to you.

Amanda: I wish you could, too, because I am standing here wondering what the hell is going on!

Devon: No — I’m wondering what the hell’s going on, too. I don’t have an explanation for what we did ’cause it was spontaneous. It just happened.

Amanda: You said that already.

Devon: I know I did. I just want a chance to talk to you about this so I can try and make sense of it, too.

Amanda: Okay. Okay. You want to talk? You know what? I think you’re right. Let’s talk this through. But first put the rest of your damn clothes on. I was taking my antidepressant daily,

Jack: Thank you. So, I have no dark, hidden agenda, if that’s what you’re implying. I just wanted to catch up with you, see how you’re doing now that you’ve had time to settle in at jabot.

Adam: Well, it’s been a rejuvenating experience. It’s been a breath of fresh air, and I’m grateful to you for the opportunity, jack.

Jack: I am thrilled to hear that, and your overall performance has been very impressive.

Adam: Well, thank you.

Jack: I have, though, in the last couple of weeks, noticed that you’re dealing with some pretty potent distractions.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Um, that is true. Starts with billy and victoria telling johnny that chelsea is his birth mother. I don’t know if you’re aware of that situation.

Jack: No, I hadn’t heard that.

Adam: Yeah. So, it’s been, uh, tough for johnny. And even worse — connor knows the truth now, too, so he’s been struggling with it.

Jack: I’m sure it’s been difficult for both boys.

Adam: Yeah, he’s been coming to terms with it over the last couple days. But, actually, johnny and him have been able to bond over that situation at a sleep over, apparently. But I want to stay vigilant, make sure he’s just not telling me what I want to hear.

Jack: And luckily chelsea provides another set of eyes to watch his behavior.

Adam: Um, well, that’s another problem, jack. Uh, there’s something going on with her. And I’m not privy to the information, but, uh, I’m worried about her.

Jack: Wait, nothing as serious as the rey rosales thing?

Adam: No, I don’t think she’s trying to hurt or frame anyone. I don’t think. She’s been erratic and she’s been unsteady lately. You know, these last few weeks, I thought that she was making progress and she was getting better and then halloween night she just stopped communicating with me altogether and I’ve been trying to get in touch with her ever since.

Jack: That sounds serious.

Adam: I think it is, jack. And the strangest thing is, the only person that she seems to be confiding in is billy.

Jack: Considering what’s going on with johnny, that is strange, but… billy has a great deal of respect and admiration for chelsea. I’m sure he’s not making things worse.

Adam: Um, I don’t know. You are more confident than I am about that.

Jack: Well, we have differing opinions about billy, but if he is involved, I’m sure he’s just trying to help. Give it some time. Look, focus on connor. You’re a great father. You’re gonna do whatever you can to help him, and I’m sure in the next few days, chelsea will get things sorted out. Just be patient.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, I’m not too great at that, jack. And waiting isn’t always the smartest thing. Waiting is how I — how I lost sally.

Sally: [ Sighing ]

[ Sighing heavily ]

[ Breathes deeply ]

Chance: [ Breathing heavily ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Abby: Chance. Hi. I am so glad that you’re here. Please hear me out. Please let me explain.

Devon: Why did you come home early?

Amanda: What does that matter?

Devon: It doesn’t matter to what I did. I’m asking ’cause I want to know if something happened to naya.

Amanda: Oh. My mother is still alive, if that’s what you’re trying to ask. She’s regained consciousness, but she’s not doing particularly well. See, her recovery from her stroke — she’s not progressing the way that the doctors had hoped.

Devon: I’m sorry.

Amanda: Oh. Is that why you’re rolling around naked with abby?

Devon: I was gonna say that I’m sorry to make you come home to this after everything you’ve been going through with your family.

Amanda: Yeah, well, I’m sorry, too, because my mom is gonna need constant care and attention and I’m gonna have to spend a lot more time in virginia. That’s why I came home — so i could tell you in person because I felt like I owed you that much because you have been so incredibly patient. I get bladder leaks.

Amanda: I cannot believe how clueless I’ve been.

Devon: Amanda, there was nothing for you to be clueless about, though, alright? Abby and I have just only been friends. She came over today, and we were talking about our problems. We were leaning on each other for support… and one thing led to another.

Amanda: Is that supposed to make me feel better? Because it doesn’T. It just hurts even more because I did not see this coming. Even though there was distance growing between us since I’ve been away, I thought that I was gonna come back and we were gonna talk about it when I got home, but I — [Scoffs] I had no idea that this was going on.

Devon: But there’s nothing going on, is what I’m trying to tell you. This just happened.

Amanda: Be honest, devon. How many times did this just happen? Was it the whole time that I’ve been gone or —

Devon: No.

Amanda: Or did it go back even further? Was it — were you guys sneaking around while I was here in town?

Devon: Amanda, listen to me when I say this to you. I swear on everything in my life this is the first and only time this has ever happened.

Amanda: Then I guess it was just my luck, huh? I walk in on the one and only time that you and your dear friend decide to roll around on the couch together. How could you do this to me? How could you do this to me again?

Victoria: So sorry about that run-in with sally earlier. That should not have happened.

Nate: It’s not a problem.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] She just seemed to be lingering a bit too long.

Nate: It’s understandable. I imagine I’ll be face-to-face with my replacement at chancellor-winters soon enough. It comes with the territory.

Victoria: You know, that’s a really good attitude. And you were right, what you said to sally about this just being business. I’m impressed with the way you’ve handled things, not just with her, but the way you introduced yourself to your team was outstanding. You were clearly the man in charge and not being dismissive or overbearing or anything like that, things that I’ve been accused of in the past.

Nate: You? Overbearing?

Victoria: Ah, I know. Shocker, right?

Nate: Yeah. I just think I understand what employees feel like when their ideas are dismissed out of hand. I don’t want to make that same mistake.

Victoria: Well, good for you.

Nate: And I’ve done my homework. I knew some of the people who’ve been on the team the longest have been through a lot of changes lately, a lot of management shake-ups. What they need right now is a sense of balance and stability.

Victoria: All the right answers. You’re just batting a thousand today, which is even more confirmation that I did the smart thing in bringing you here to run things.

Nate: Well, I need to return the compliment. I feel like I learned a lot in a short time just watching you in action.

Victoria: We’re learning from each other. That’s the way it should be.

[ Chuckles ]

Elena: What a beautiful office.

Nick: Thanks, man. Hey.

Sally: Hey yourself.

[ Clears throat ] I’ve had a hell of a day.

Nick: I bet.

Sally: I was just hanging out, taking in the last few minutes in the office — a lot of memories there — when victoria came in with my replacement to politely but firmly tell me to clear out.

Nick: Sorry about that.

Sally: Nick, I don’t blame you for what happened.

Nick: Yeah, I know. You already told me that.

Sally: I know, but I just want to reiterate it. Victoria made her decision, and there was nothing you could do to talk her out of it. Honestly, I-I wish I was that decisive…especially when it comes to my romantic life ’cause I think I’m still a little… confused.

Nick: So, I’m guessing you, uh, miss adam?

Sally: I miss you.

Chance: Go ahead. Explain.

Abby: I’m sorry. I’m truly, truly sorry. And I am sick to my stomach, and I am filled with regret over what happened. I mean, chance, it was a mistake. Neither of us were thinking.

Chance: [ Sighs ] Is that all?

Abby: [ Voice breaking ] I was in a rough place when you didn’t come home last night. And I went over to devon’S. And he was going through a hard time, and so we were there, we were supporting each other the way that we’ve always done, the way that we’ve done hundreds of times, and it just — I don’t know what happened. It just turned into something else, something that neither of us were expecting and… something that just needs to go back into the place where it came from, from nowhere. I mean, chance, I-I’m so shaken up over this. I don’t even know what happened. Please [Sniffles] — Please just say something.

Chance: This didn’t come out of nowhere.

Abby: What?

Chance: No, this is something that’s been going on between you two for a long time. I felt it.

[ Breathes deeply ] So, the way I see it, all this was oddly inevitable.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Are you feeling sluggish or weighed down?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Elena: I’m sorry if I’m interrupting.

Victoria: Oh, no, not at all. I was just getting nate settled in, setting him up in his new office.

Nate: Yeah, it’s, uh — it’s a little nicer than that glorified supply closet I worked out of at the hospital, isn’t it? Or even the space I had at chancellor-winters.

Elena: Well, I know how excited you are about your new job, so…congratulations.

Nate: Thank you.

Victoria: I have a budget meeting, so I’m — I’m gonna go to that, let you two talk. Nate, I am convinced that you’re ready to dive in first thing in the morning, so I’m not worried. If you need anything, though, let me know.

Nate: Thank you again, victoria. I won’t let you down.

Victoria: It was nice to see you.

Elena: You too.

Nate: I’m glad you stopped by. Didn’t know when I’d see you again after the way we left things. But I’m happy to see you. Unless I misread the situation.

Jack: We haven’t talked about your breakup with sally.

Adam: Well, the details aren’t, uh, particularly pleasant, jack.

Jack: Are they ever at the end of a relationship?

Adam: I, um… I screwed up. And then I waited too long to try to fix things. And by the time I thought we could get back together, it was too late. She, um, moved on.

Jack: Really? I thought she had very deep feelings for you.

Adam: Yeah, and the real hilarious part is the guy that she moved on to…was nick.

Jack: Wh– and thus the tension I saw earlier.

Adam: Uh-huh. And, well, thank you for not pointing out that I ought to be used to, uh, falling for the same woman as my brother.

Jack: For what it’s worth, i have been in your shoes myself, with billy. It’s not an easy situation. I’m sorry you’re dealing with that.

Nick: I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss you, too.

Sally: And you don’t like to lie.

Nick: Mnh-mnh.

Sally: So, we miss each other.

Nick: We definitely do. But you know how I feel. I want you, but it’s got to be all of you. I have zero interest being in some triangle with my brother.

Sally: I understand.

Nick: I think you’re underestimating the potential severity of the situation. It wouldn’t be the first time my brother and I have gone after the same woman. Doesn’t end well for anyone.

Sally: I see. So, then where does that leave us?

Nick: I think you need to definitively figure it out, what it is you want, both personally and professionally, and you got to be 100% sure.

Sally: I know what I want.

Abby: I know that you’re a skilled detective and you are trained to observe people, but there’s no way you could have seen this coming.

Chance: But I did, abby. There’s been moments between you two that went beyond friendship. It’s something deeper.

Abby: That’s not true.

Chance: And you might not have admitted it to yourself, but I’ve seen it several times since I’ve been back from spain.

Abby: No. I don’t know what you are talking about. Devon and I are friends. That’s what we have always been. And, yes, we went out on a date like eight years ago ’cause we were both getting over a relationship, but it was terrible. It went terribly because we’re such good friends. And that’s all we have ever been. And this whole custody thing with dominic — I mean, that almost turned us into enemies.

Chance: You know, I was the one that encouraged you to let him back into our lives. Now you depend on him more than you do me.

Abby: No, chance, that’s not true. And if I do rely on devon, it’s because he’s always there for me and dominic. He never tells us that work matters more.

Amanda: You know this isn’t the first time that you’ve let me down this way. But I forgave you. I believed that you were just working through unresolved feelings with your ex and that you would never do this again, but clearly that was a huge mistake.

Devon: And, you know, I don’t really have anything to say to that…except that I’m trying to piece together everything and figure out why this happened.

Amanda: I don’t think that there’s anything left to figure out, devon.

Devon: But there is, though. There is ’cause it’s not the same as that time. It’s not even like when elena and nate got together. They were falling in love.

Amanda: Yeah.

Devon: It doesn’t matter. I’m not gonna — I’m not gonna insult you by making up excuses.

Amanda: Oh, thank you. You know, as disgusted and outraged as I am, I’m actually glad that things happened this way. It’s — it’s a relief, honestly.

Devon: I’m not following you. What do you mean?

Amanda: Mm, okay, well, i will make it crystal clear. I now know exactly what you are capable of, and I can finally leave town without a backward glance. Moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin.

Elena: Nate, I came back to genoa city because I wanted to work things out with you. And I hate that we’re in this stalemate. But it feels like we’re digging this hole deeper and deeper and it’s getting harder and harder to get out of.

Nate: I feel the same way. I know our last conversation kind of spiraled out of control.

Elena: I just — I don’t know how we’re gonna get past this conflict.

Nate: Look, elena, I want to get back to what we had. Everything was so right. But we both have to be willing to try.

Elena: [ Sighs ] I came here to congratulate and support you. And I know I have to let go of my suspicions about your motives. And I want to believe that you’re back on the right path.

Nate: I am. If you give me the opportunity, I’ll show you. Let me prove to you I am still the man you fell in love with.

Abby: What did you want me to do? To turn down devon’s support f-for me, for dominic?

Chance: Abby, I’m trying to take the high road here. But what I saw earlier was not a friend supporting a friend. Now, what — what is this all about? Are you just trying to get back at me for what I said at crimson lights last night?

Abby: No, of course not. I would never do that. I-I have no explanation for what happened. I have no idea how it happened. I mean, I went over there, and, yes, I was upset about what happened at crimson lights. And devon — he was hurting, too, and we just… I don’t know. We just found each other. But I would never try to get back at you. It wasn’t some sort of revenge.

Chance: Okay, well, you have to understand that I saw this coming. This was inevitable. Devon was the one that came to the rescue when you wanted a child. He was the one that delivered our son. He was there every moment that i wasn’t, abby. How many months did you and i get to spend together in the same space, hmm? And how many of those months did you get what you needed from me? It’s more like days, if we’re being honest. That whole time, you two were just growing closer and closer.

Abby: I know I hurt you in the worst possible way. And here you are, we’re having this conversation, and you’re — you’re talking about my wants and my needs. But what about you? What are your expectations?

Chance: I guess you didn’t get my voicemail.

Abby: No, I-I didn’T.

Chance: Said I wanted to come home and I wanted to try to fix things.

Abby: I’m sorry I missed that.

Chance: You know what, abby? My wants have not changed…but my expectations definitely have. I want to make somebody happy. I want to be able to be myself and have that be enough. That’s not what we have. I think it’s time we face that reality.

Abby: [ Sniffles ]

[ Sighs ]

Devon: You’re talking about just ending the relationship?

Amanda: [ Scoffs ] You know the one good thing about my timing? I walked in here with a bag already packed and I’m gonna walk right back out with it.

Devon: I don’t want you walking out any way —

Amanda: Okay, then I won’t walk. I will march out of here with my head held high, away from you and your phony good guy act.

Devon: Amanda, we can’t just give up everything that we have.

Amanda: The hell we can’T. Come on. This relationship — it never stood a chance.

Devon: What are you talking about?

Amanda: Oh.

Devon: You’re just upset — ’cause you know that’s not true.

Amanda: I’m just upset. Did y-you use that line on my sister, too? “You’re just upset.” Is that — that what you said to hilary when you screwed around on her? Be honest with me, devon. Did you cheat on my sister, too?

Devon: No, I never did.

Amanda: Okay, well, I guess i always was the unlucky sister.

[ Scoffs ] You know, I really thought that we got past this hurdle with hilary.

Devon: I did.

Amanda: Yeah. Yeah, you did. You really had me believing that I wasn’t just another poor man’s hilary, so much so that I let you go and have a baby with another woman. So that family becomes our new hurdle. But you know what? I am not the same woman that you met. I have a family now. I have a mother and a sister and a stepdad, and they need me. They need my support. It is very clear that you do not need my support. So I am not gonna waste another second here with you. You know, I want you to know this. You know, before I walked in here, I was across the hall defending you to nate, supporting you. All the while, you’re rolling around here with abby, like two teenagers in the backseat of a damn car.

Devon: Will you just hear me out, please?

Amanda: No. No. I’ve been listening, devon, and you — you haven’t said anything to convince me that this relationship is worth saving. So I — I’m not gonna give you any more of my love or my loyalty. I’m gonna focus that energy on the people that are faithful to me — my family.

Devon: And that’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with you doing that. I want you to do that. But I also want you to know that I love you. That’s the truth.

Amanda: You know what? I believe you. I do believe that you love me in your own warped way. But if this is your love, I don’t want it.

Jack: Okay, so, here’s the big question — how can I help?

Adam: You’re doing it, jack. I mean, you’re listening to me. And that’s all I can ask for, especially since you don’t have a good opinion of sally.

Jack: No, no, my experience with sally was very different from yours. I got the sense that you two had something very special. I even told sally that.

Adam: Yeah? Well, I appreciate that. We — we — we did. We — we could be honest with each other. I mean, how rare is that, jack? And we just — we had a strong connection, and then I just — I blew it up thinking that I was doing the right thing for her.

Jack: Thinking you were doing — what does that mean? I thought if we weren’t a couple that victoria wouldn’t hold anything against her and she would judge sally solely on her merits as ceo of newman media. But now she’s lost her dream job anyway, even though she’s been crushing it over there.

Jack: Wouldn’t be the first time newman enterprises let go of someone who is right for the job.

Adam: Don’t I know that. But, no, I — I hurt sally for nothing. And that’s a big mistake to try to fix.

Jack: You really do love her, don’t you?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] More than I thought I could love anybody, jack.

Jack: Well, then I have just one piece of advice. Find some way to let her know that.

Nick: Alright, so, you know what you want. Is this something you’re gonna be sharing with anyone?

Sally: [ Laughs ] Definitely. Yes. I just want to make sure that i word it right because sometimes I just blurt things out and feelings get hurt. So [Sighs]… What I want is a drama-free romance with someone who sees me as their equal. I want a sense of purpose, and i want to show the world that i can succeed in whatever I choose and that I can balance my personal and my professional life.

Nick: Well, it seems like you have a pretty good grasp on it.

Sally: I have had some time to think, and I know that adam represents nothing but conflict. I don’t know. Maybe that was part of the attraction in the beginning, but I do feel like I have grown out of that phase. I do not want that in my life anymore. I need stability and positive energy. Love, to me — it’s not about attachment or clinging on to each other. It is about independence and synergy. Does any of that make sense?

Nick: Makes perfect sense.

Abby: I don’t want to believe that things have gotten that far.

Chance: Well, they have. It happens.

Abby: No, no, no. Look, I can make this up to you. I love you. I know that you still love me, too.

Chance: Yeah, I do. But there’s not a solution for this, not now. Now, I’m gonna need some time and some space to figure things out. So please give me that.

Abby: Okay. Whatever you need.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Sniffles ]

[ Exhales heavily ]

Amanda: I’ll send for the rest of my things.

Devon: Just hang on a second. I love you. I love you, and I know that matters. There’s nothing more important than love. I don’t want you to go. Please.

[ Dominic fussing ]

Amanda: Go to your son, devon. He needs your love. If you go to your son’s mother, that’s okay with me, too, because I have a life that i need to get back to. Goodbye, devon.

Devon: Amanda. Amanda, just —

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

How’s donna?

[ Chuckles ] Well, you’re missing all the fun. You know, your daughter, she is a go-getter. She is running circles around me and pilar. Well, that’s about right. So, how’s your day? I’ll tell — I’ll tell you about it when — when I get home. Okay. Well, we’ll be here. Um, donna and pilar are having an early supper in the kitchen. But for you and me, I ordered a gourmet dinner for two to be delivered from the metro court. Alright. I’ll s– I’ll see you when I get home. Alright, handsome.

Bye.

[ Knock on door ] What’s on your mind, dex? Just wanted to follow up on that deal you mentioned. Some third party that wants to use your facilities. What about it? You said you might want me to assist you. Well, that depends. On what? What’s more important to you — working for me… or making time with josslyn?

[ Humming ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Humming ]

[ Knock on door ] Oh. That must be dinner. Hey, guys, you’re early. What are you doing here? I don’T… I don’t know what to say. When I was in the police academy for training, I had several instructors tell me that I was gonna be a great cop because I’m so… naturally stoic. Big emotions like this don’t come easy for me. But tonight… I-I don’t know. I guess my feelings for you are just so strong that I had to say something. And even though this is new to me, I just want you to know how much I meant it. Every single word. I love you, trina. I think I’ve lost my appetite. Wow. Um… I wasn’t sure how I was gonna feel after actually saying that, but [Chuckles] I feel great. And just so you know, I don’t expect you to say anything in return. I actually got you something. And, no, it’s not another can of soda. We’ve…progressed. I wanted to get you something to symbolize how I felt. It’s called l’amour, which seemed fitting. Rory…this is… esme, where the hell are you? And what have you gotten yourself into now?

[ Keys jangling ]

[ Lock clicks ] Hello… …lover. They tell me that you can’t talk to me… but I bet I know what you’re thinking. Blast from the past, right? What are the odds? You and me together again for the first time.

[ Exhales sharply ] How long’s it been? Almost feels like a lifetime ago, but… some things in life… you just can’t forget. We both know… that when we were bad… it was very good. You went to spoon island? Yeah. Like I said, I was looking for esme prince. What made you think she’d be on the island of all places? I was just following the trail. What trail? The one that begins and ends with you.


I don’t understand. How could I have led you to look for esme on spoon island? Well, you’re the last person to see esme before she attacked you on the pier. And if you hadn’t been able to call the police first, who knows what esme would have done? But she didn’T. I mean, we should just be thankful I only ended up with a bump on my head and leave it at that. Yeah, I know, but who knows… who knows that it would have ended there? Y-yeah. I do– I don’t know. I… you see, I think esme’s hiding on spoon island. And now that I’ve been there… I’m even more convinced I’m on the right track. You remember how we first met? It was ages ago. Decades. But I can still see it… as if it was yesterday. I was hiking the cascade mountains. A regular nature girl on a journey to find a place for myself outside the rigid confines of middle class society. That’S… when I smelled smoke coming from a cabin in the middle of nowhere. And there you were… chopping wood with a hatchet. The blade gleamed in the moonlight. You always were… handy with a blade.

[ Sighs ] Such a shame to lose this hand. It was… so talented… …in so many ways. I said… “my name is hazel.” You said you were richard. We were both playing the same game. We’d found each other. Soul mates. For a brief interlude. Is this beginning to come back to you… “richie”? Rory: Trina? What’s wrong? Oh. I don’t understand. They said your release was weeks away. It was supposed to be, but please don’t let me interrupt your dinner. You’re clearly in the middle of something special. We are. Spencer. What happened? How are you a free man? Trina, don’t worry. I didn’t escape this time. It’s okay. So what changed? My great nephew’s exemplary behavior earned him an early release.Thank you, uncle victor, but trina is far smarter than that. The truth is… I did what I always do, and I relied on my family to get me out of trouble. Why are you surprised, josslyn? Everyone, including yourself, knows that sonny and i are involved. Well, I’m here to pick up donna… and it was my understanding that you’re not allowed anywhere near my little sister. Well, I’m happy to tell you that that information is outdated. Really? Yes. Sonny and carly, they reached a new understanding, and I had the best day with donna. So much fun. She’s in the kitchen with pilar having an early supper. Okay. Well, I will check in with my mom about the change in rules when I get home. Uph. Sonny isn’t home from work yet. Oh, shocking. The family man is too busy obstructing justice or doing whatever it is he does to spend time with his youngest child. So he leaves her with the girlfriend. Lucky donna. She’s still too young to understand where she ranks on sonny’s list of priorities. Sonny is on his way home right now, and I know that he would love to see his daughter and kiss her before you take her back to carly. So… you wait a little while. I could take it… if you can. I didn’t go to josslyn for help. Okay, I never meant for her to be involved. But she was involved. What happened? I c– I can’T. I can’T. Okay, you know what? You can lie to me later. What? Let me see. No, I-I-I don’t lie to you. Okay. You can “refuse to answer me” later. Let me see your side. It’s just a crease. “It’s just a crease”?! No internal bleeding. No bullet to remove. Oh, so you were shot. God. I shouldn’t even be here. Well, you are, and you’re bleeding from a gun wound, so give me one good reason why I shouldn’t call the cops! ‘Cause I’m asking you not to. I don’t know if josslyn saved my life, but she definitely saved my freedom. And people know I work for you, boss. If she had called an ambulance or — or called the cops, you would have been investigated at the very least. Dex, what’s your point? Just say it. Josslyn did me a favor, and I am grateful. But that’s as far as it goes. Good. Because I spent today cleaning up the mess you left behind when you were driving that transfer van to pentonville. I was concerned that somebody could have identified you as the driver of the van, so I made sure that nobody is going to identify you. I appreciate that, boss. And I promise you, I will learn from my mistakes. I believe that you mean that when you say it… …but like my old man used to say… …some mistakes are too big to make.


Sonny: You’re probably standing there thinking, “you know, I’ve done such a solid job. Why is sonny so hard on me?” Something like that. It’s because when I was about your age, I-I-I was in debt… …to a guy named joe scully, and I would have done anything to pay him back. Anything? Yeah, anything. Joe wanted me to do a job. I was young, inexperienced. I did the job. I left a trail that could have led straight back to me. Even worse, could have led straight from me to joe. Obviously, you’re still in the game. So what happened? What saved you? I had a guardian angel. He took it upon himself to clean up after me. That’s lucky. Yeah, well, luck is only gonna get you so far in life. In this business… …you have to have brains. You have to trust your instincts. I have both. Okay, think of this as a crossroads in your life. Y-you’re the one who’s gonna have to make that call. You got to figure out… what you’re gonna hold on to, what you’re gonna let go, what matters, what doesn’t matter. Oh, I can wait until donna is done eating, because we both know that pilar cooked that meal, you didn’T. But let’s be clear — the second that she’s done, we’re leaving, whether sonny’s back or not. Josslyn, why don’t we just go to our separate corners until the referee rings the bell for round two? Round two? What, like a fight? Why would I want to fight you, nina? I’m so grateful. Well, your idea of gratitude leaves a lot to be desired. No, really. You did what no one else ever could. You took sonny away from my mom, and you set her free. Now donna, I do feel a little bit sorry for, but in the end, I know she’s better off. I mean, she doesn’t have to grow up listening to her mom defend the indefensible like I did. See, I watched my mom turn herself inside out for sonny. But she doesn’t have to do that anymore. She can live her life the way she wants to, and she has never had a better time. So, really, nina, thank you. Out of all of sonny’s many girlfriends, you just may be my favorite. You make it sound like I’m the latest in a long line. You said it, not me. Spencer: What can I say? When your grandmother is the mayor and your great uncle is victor cassadine, you can pretty much get yourself out of anything. Rory: What, you’re saying that the mayor pulled strings to get you an early release? When you have family connections, the one golden rule is never advertise who did what. Though I will say that my uncle cyrus did look out for me while I was inside. Cyrus? As in cyrus renault? Happily that unfortunate family tie came to an end the second spencer walked out of the pentonville gates. Well, we will let you get back to your dinner. It was good seeing you. Spencer, spencer, that was — that was very graciously done, but you’re making one mistake. What’s that? You’re a cassadine. Cassadines never quite. So, what’d you find on spoon island? It’s more what I didn’t find when I went to wyndemere. You went to the house? Yeah, I sort of thought, you know, nik might cooperate, help me look for esme. But he kind of played the big shot and supposedly had some of the staff search the property. Even if they did look, they weren’t gonna find esme. Then you walked away empty-handed. Of course, nik said he was just looking out for your best interest, but I wasn’t buying it. Why not? Well, you know, his lips were moving. Remember how we used to bundle together in the cabin… on those cold winter nights… when the wolves howled outside the window? We’d howl right back at them because that’s what we were — a couple of timber wolves too wild for all those poor, pathetic sheep out there. You’re in there, aren’t you? You might have everybody else fooled… …but I know you… …inside and out. You’re not really paralyzed, are you? This is just your way of controlling the situation, getting everyone lulled into a false sense of security, and that’s when you’re gonna strike. I know that I’m getting to you, because after all… …I’m your hazel… …and I can affect you… in ways… that nobody else can. You left me… without so much as a goodbye. You broke my heart. I don’t think you’ve ever been hurt as badly. But that can be arranged.


You know, I get the sense that nik’s only willing to cooperate when he’s in charge. Sounds like him. Hm. Maybe. What do you mean? I mean… I have a feeling nikolas is hiding something.

[ Gasps ] It speaks! I knew my mountain man was in there… just waiting to break free. And you just might live to regret that. Or not. Ooh. Naughty boy. I know you wouldn’t hurt me. Since when did you ever mind a little pain?

[ Exhales sharply ] You remembered my sweet spot…lover. There was never anything sweet about you. But that was your appeal. Two of a kind. Like knows like. You know, I actually began to question if this ever happened at all. You seemed too good to be true and then just disappeared without a trace. I actually wondered if I’d imagined the whole thing. It wasn’t your imagination. Take a whiff. I still use the same soap — all over my body. Every…inch.

[ Inhales deeply ] Come on. Sit down. We said we were gonna celebrate your first night of freedom from pentonville, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do. A little life lesson — don’t let anyone or anything prevent you from enjoying your first breath of freedom. I am not ungrateful to you for getting me out early. I never thought that I was going to be out of pentonville before new year’s eve, much less christmas. But it is difficult to celebrate when — you feel the same way about the lovely miss robinson? With all due respect, uncle victor, what is the point? Does it even make a difference? We got here just in time to hear rory tell trina that he loves her. I think it makes all the difference in the world. Now, where were we? We were celebrating our three-month anniversary. I hope you like —

[ Cellphone ringing ] Uh… I’m so sorry. It’s work. I have to take this. Oh, yeah. I understand. Go.

[ Ringing stops ] Hello, commissioner. Remember, spencer… opportunity is only lost on those who fail to seize it.

[ Clears throat ] Trina, may I join you? Spencer, what are you doing? I have a question for you. Can we start over? I still say your gratitude sounds a lot like resentment. I’m guessing that you talked to your mother about what happened between us today. My mom never mentions you. Then you don’t know. Y-your mother and I, we were at willow’s, and willow fainted. Willow fainted? Is she okay? Does michael know? Well, I would imagine by now he does. What happened? And… and how were you involved? Well, I went over there to talk to willow about helping sasha, and… things got a little heated. She got upset, and then willow passed out.

[ Exhales sharply ] Only you would pick a fight with a pregnant woman. I did not pick a fight with willow. I did not do that. Okay? My point is, josslyn, that even for a split second, your mother and i were able to put our differences aside and help willow. And if we were able to do that, why can’t you and i do the same thing? My mom makes her own choices, and so do I. Even though I am grateful you took sonny off her hands, it does not mean that I like you. It did not take sonny off anyone’s hands. I fell in love with him. How romantic. Okay, the only part of that that I regret is keeping the truth from everyone. And you might not understand this… …but I kept the truth from myself. I came to care for someone when everything else was telling me it was wrong. Damn. What? Oh, this, it wasn’t supposed to happen.

[ Chuckles ] Well, it did. I have to go. Bye, joss. You’re right, nina. I can’t understand. I’m nothing like you. What are you talking about? Who said you were like me? One of the hardest things I’ve had to learn in my life… is went to use a gun… and when to keep the safety on. Taken me almost a lifetime to learn that. You had to start sometime, right? Yes, I did. And so do you.


What do you want me to do with it? It’s yours. Take it. So that deal you asked about, I set up a meeting with the “third party” and I want you to come with me. What exactly do you want me to do? Uh, just — what I’d like you to do, I just want you to just listen. Take orders. I do– you’re probably not gonna have to use the gun. So you just want a little security. Yeah. So, the go-between who set up the meeting, that’s not really a trusted friend or somebody that I’ve done business with. But if the contractors, that’s who they chose, then… I just want to be prepared. Do you have any questions? Nope. Let’s go. Where are we going? Isn’t that what you’re after, nina? Sympathy? Empathy? You want people to put themselves in your shoes so — so they can see you had no other option but to lie? Except I’m not like that. I-I don’t use deceit to get what I want. So that’s why I’m nothing like you. What are you talking about? I never said that you were deceitful. If anything, you’re really honest to a fault. And maybe a little quick to judge people by your own high standards. I’m gonna see if she’s done with dessert. Hey. How’s cameron? Being close to cam is always nice, and he’s one of my favorite people. But? But… I thought that sleeping together would reconnect us and act as some kind of magic fix for what I haven’t been feeling. It’s none of your business. I don’t know, spencer. So much has happened. I don’t even think a fresh start is even possible for us. I suppose that’s fair. I did what I did, and there are consequences that I have to live with. I mean… I appreciate that you want to try… …but it’s hard for me to even think about this now, much less talk it over. Yeah. You and rory are at the pc grill… …not at kelly’s having burgers. I know you two were in the middle of something special, and if I had known that you were going to be here tonight with your boyfriend celebrating, I would have insisted to my uncle that we go elsewhere, especially after I heard what rory said to you. It — I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop. He practically announced it to the entire restaurant. Not that I blame him. If I was in his place, I’d want to…tell everyone too. It’s not what you think it is. Trina… when a guy takes you out… to one of the best restaurants in town… and he tells you that he loves you… what else could that mean? Copy that, commissioner. See you soon. I do admire your dedication, officer cabrera. Excuse me. As an officer, you swore to do the right thing. I assume you know when to stay the course and when to call it a day. What the hell was that for? For what you did to my franco. Fr–

[ Scoffs ] You know, I keep a pretty good record of the crimes I’ve committed, the people I’ve killed. And franco baldwin isn’t on that list. Don’t you even mention his name. You victimized my son. And what’s that old expression? One bad turn… deserves another. Oh, you wouldn’t blow the whistle on me, would you, “hazel,” dear? I’d hate to be backed into that corner… “richie”…boy. Well, nikolas’ uncle victor is living at wyndemere now. There’s bound to be something nikolas is hiding. So you think victor’s using spoon island for something?

[ Sighs ] Wyndemere isn’t just a family estate. It’s a fortress. A fortress where they might be hiding esme prince. You know, I think it’s a really good time to have a conversation with jordan. No, you can’t! Why not?


Finn, you’re a healer, not a detective. Your place is here at G.H., Doing the kind of lifesaving work you were meant to do, not taking on a cold-blooded killer. I’m not going after a killer myself. I know that’s the job for the pcpd. But if she finds out that you led them to her, she’s gonna put you on her list. I’m sorry. I can’t just let this go. Not after she attacked you. As long as she’s out there, she’s free to go after you again. Or maybe go after your kids or anybody else who gets in her way. What about your daughter? If you don’t give up the search, what if esme targets violet? It’s violet I’m thinking about. How do I ever look my little girl in the eye knowing I didn’t do everything I could to put a stop to this? Come on. Let’s go to my office. We’ll call jordan, and — and — and we’ll see what she has to say about all this, alright?

[ Sighs ] Okay. Oh, hey, you, uh — you forgot something. Finn, wait! You know, of all the women I’ve loved… …you were always my most vivid memory. I’ve read all about you, baby, so I’m guessing that’s a crock. But I’d love to believe it. I always knew that our paths would cross again. What we had… was kismet. Then why would you even dream of exposing me?

[ Chuckles softly ] Don’t worry, mountain man. I wouldn’t do that. I’m just putting you on notice not to even think about adding me to your list of victims. Heaven forbid. Heaven isn’t your final destination. Or mine. Still… …I am sorry for walking out on you. Who knows? If I’d stuck around… maybe both our lives would have been different. Let’s just say… I owe you one. According to my math, you owe me two. Rory is a great guy. He’s honest, kind, has a very great start on a very solid career. Even ava, who has very high standards, thinks I’d be crazy for letting him get away. And of course, you and ava always agree with each other. Everything okay here? Everything’s fine. Time for me to rejoin my uncle at our table. Trina… it was really great seeing you. So… what did spencer want? So where’s donna? Pilar’s helping her wash up. As soon as they’re done, we’re leaving. Sonny’s just gonna have to do better about his time management with the next visit.

[ Door opens ] No. Sonny: Hey, nina. I didn’t expect to find you here. Well… what’s going on? So is dex joining us?


Josslyn, what are you doing here? Um, I-I’m here to pick up donna. Oh. Uh, I’m gonna see if she’s ready. If it’s alright, boss, I’m gonna pass on the dinner invitation. Not really hungry. I should probably call it an early night. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go ahead. See you tomorrow. Good night, ms. Reeves. Good night, dex. So, you’re here alone… with josslyn? I don’t see any broken glass anywhere. What happened? Well, it’s clear she has other things on her mind. Spencer just wanted to touch base since he got an early release from pentonville. Obviously…I wasn’t expecting to see him tonight. It’s unfortunate that our big night got interrupted. And now I just got called back to the station. Plus, I did tell your mom I’d get you home before it got too late, so… well, we’ll do it again with no interruptions. Oh. Can’t forget my gift.

[ Chuckles ] I really love it, rory. I do. Spencer, if trina chooses officer cabrera over you, then, frankly, it’s her loss. If you’ll excuse me, I need to use the restroom. Finn: You left these behind. You know, it’s strange. I, um… I saw a bottle just like this when I went to see nikolas. Prenatal vitamins. Are they yours? I owe you two? How do you mean? Well, let’s just say that when you left me… never to return… you didn’t just stomp on my heart and walk out of my life. I’m not following. In the years since, I’ve learned… that when you left… you were carrying the child that we created. Hey, what’s going on? Is there something you want to tell me? Please let it go. I don’t want to let it go. Please. I want to hear your voice. But if you don’t want to tell me, I’M… I’m fine to go to wyndemere and get the answers. No, please don’T. Please don’t what? Please don’t what, elizabeth? Please don’t what? Are you pregnant?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

the doctor I argue the one who fell down the stairs. It was reiko.

[ Scoffs ] You think reiko fell because of you? I don’t just think it, finn. I know it’s true. Demetrius, she’s not in her room. And she tied her bedsheets together to make some kind of a rope. Probably so she could use the ledge to make it to an adjoining room.

[ Exhales sharply ] Now, I looked throughout the entire main house. She’s nowhere to be found.

[ Exhales deeply ] Felicia: Well? Mac: Give him a moment. You’re right. Moment’s over. Is mac your father? Um… you’re not my dad, mac. What? Are you sure? Yeah. It’s not a match. Ma– uh, may I see that? What’s the point of dragging it out, felicia? Looking at the paper’s not gonna change what it says. Cody’s not my son. I’m sorry, mac. You okay? Congrats. You know?

[ Chuckles ] Scorpio gene pool remains pristine. I’m so scared. I don’t wanna die.

[ Whimpers ]

[ Sobbing ]

[ Door opens ] Michael. Um… did melanie get wiley okay? Wiley’s fine. What did I just walk in on? Damn it, anna should have been here by now.

[ Be ep ] Dispatcher:

We need a unit to check out

the hardware store

on maplewood drive.

The alarm was triggered.

[ Chirp ] Nothing about a police transport. Anna, where are you? I have not heard from you. How’d it go with anna? Dante: Hey. What do you know about anna?

[ Radiator hissing ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]


[ Chirp ]

Prison transport 1015.

What’s your status?

[ Chirp ]

[ Groans ]

[ Grunts ] Do yourself a favor. Stay unconscious.

[ Door chime beeping ]

[ Groaning, breathing heavily ]

[ Chirp ]

Prison transport 1015.

Do you copy?

We need a status update.

[ Chirp ]

[ Groaning ] Okay. Okay. Ms. Devane. Anna. Anna. I need you to wake up, now. Come on, help me out here. I heard that anna’s being, uh, transferred to pentonville tonight, and, uh, so I just want to make sure when she gets there, she’s being taken care of. Unofficial, of course. Well, uh, unofficially, thank you. ‘Cause you know she shouldn’t be there, right? You know she was set up? Yes, I know. Okay. What are we gonna do? We — we — there’s literally nothing we can do until we get some evidence of what really happened to lucy coe. You working on it? Yeah. What do you think? What gave it away? Your badge. The badge and the gun? Yeah. [ Chuckles ] I was doing a witness statement here, but I’m glad I ran into you because I was thinking I wanted to, I don’t know, get together. Let’s get a beer, go to the hatchet range. Have a — have a guys’ night, you know? I’d love to. Okay, good. But aren’t you supposed to be spen– you know, spending free time with sam and rocco? You know, working your — on blending your two families? Blen– yeah, we’re — we’re blended. We’re blended up, man. Come on, if I can make the time, so can you. What’s going on dante? Thanks for agreeing to the dna test. At least now we know the truth. Let’s go. Well, hey, hol– hold on a sec. Uh… uh, maybe we should — oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, good call.

[ Breathes deeply ] I don’t understand. What’s left to talk about? Well, look, I mean, you know, we may not be related, but… I don’t know… britt kept telling me how great of a guy you are. And other than dante, I don’t really have any friends here. [ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles awkwardly ] So, what, you want to go out for a beer sometime? Would that be so bad, you know? I don’t know, shoot some pool, go for a hike, I don’t know. Look, cody, you don’t have to fake a friendship to spare my bruised feelings. Why’s it gotta be fake? I mean, if britt’s right, you’re a pretty good guy to have as a buddy. In case you get arrested again? That’s the sense of humor she was telling me about. What do you say, we — we maybegive this friend thing a shot? Sure. Why not? All right? You and I, we’ll go out for a beer sometime, okay? As long as you don’t feel forced into it. Yep, deal. This memory you’ve been having was about reiko, and you’ve been too afraid to tell me? It was a jumble — and all the flashes. The– then I suspected my dad was involved, and I-I was really confused. I didn’t wanna burden you with this until I knew more. And now I wish I’d never found out that I caused reiko’s death. How do you even know if anything your parents were telling you is true? Michael: None of this makes any sense. Willow, you’re supposed to be at your ob appointment. What are you doing in dr. Randolph’s office? Michael… I — michael, there — there’s information that you don’t have. Whatever I need to hear, I’ll hear it from willow. Why’d I walk in on you in an empty office in the arms of another man? And what exactly is going on here? Oh, my god. Michael. Do you think I’m cheating on you with T.J.?


Hey. Hey. Well, I know you’re on the fence about gaining a new family, so look at the bright side. You know, now your life doesn’t have to change. Yeah. Bright side. Okay. Let’s go. Not so fast, tough guy. Dispatcher: Requesting all

available units to route 31.

Prison transport 1015 is

overdue and not responding. That’s anna’s transport.

[ Engine starts ] Anna. Anna, I need you to wake up now. Anna, if you don’t respond, I have to take you to the hospital, and then we’re both screwed. Okay. Okay. Hey, hey. Do you know your name? Do you remember where you are? Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I’m anna devane, and… we’re on our way to pentonville.

[ Groans ] Hey, hey. You hit your head. Yeah. But your — your pupils are even, okay? There’s a wound on your head, but it looks shallow, so other than a headache, you should be fine. Yeah. What happened? The guard figured out I was a plant. He tried to grab the steering wheel. What about him? Is he okay? He’s unconscious, but he should be fine. Where’s heather? I’m not sure. When I came to, there was no sign of the second prisoner. Oh, god. I guess I’m just worried about you. You don’t need to be. There’s nothing to worry about. You know, I’m fine. Yeah? Yeah. Look, I know that rift with michael is kind of weighing on you. It’s been going on a long time. This thing with anna, brando getting murdered, ava and diane attacked, that’s a lot of stuff. Well, I’m used to having, you know, a lot on my plate. Well, I’m here to tell you you don’t have to go it alone. I’ll be looking after you when you’re busy looking after other people. Thank you.

[ Cellphone rings ] Sorry. Falconeri.

[ Sighs ] Dex, dex, dex, come on. Okay. Can you — yeah, text me the details. I’m on my way. I gotta go to work. Oh, really? Yeah. Be careful. I will. You, too. Yeah. I can’t believe you think I’d ever cheat on you. Wait. Nina was in the park. She said something to you, didn’t she? Oh, that woman. Just forget nina. Tell me what is going on with you. I will tell you what’s not going on. Tj and i are not having an affair. Nina’s wrong. She totally misinterpreted our friendship. Oh, nina told me you — she’s seen you two having, what, emotional, intimate talks. Why? What’s going on? What is really going on? Do you mind giving us some privacy? Not at all. Good luck. Look, I know that every word coming out of nina’s mouth is a lie. When sonny said that he noticed you’d been on edge lately, I couldn’t deny it. Yeah, originally I chalked it up to you being pregnant, right, starting a new job. But come on, something’s been off with you for — for a long time now. So please, whatever it is, just tell me. Tell me the truth. You’re right. I have been on edge for a while. Because… …michael… …I have leukemia. How are you?

[ Scoffs ] Really? I know you had mixed feelings about becoming a scorpio. I think I got what I deserve. What does that mean?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Ooh. I need to go check on a patient. Come on, mac. Talk to me. After all these years of helping to raise robert’s daughter and my daughters, you thought you had a son of your own. It’s got to be a big disappointment. It’s not like I knew cody very well. And now I don’t have to worry about anything disrupting our family. Look, it all worked out for the best. So that’s it? Just back to life as usual? Honestly, I was a little excited at the prospect of having a son. I know. I’m sorry. I mean, if cody turned out to be mine, I — I would have enjoyed that. But that’s not what the test results proved. And it’s okay, because I love my life as is. I’ll be okay. Maybe when we go home, we can video call robin.

[ Cellphone rings ] What you got? Chief scorpio. Okay. Yeah, I’m on my way. There’s an issue with anna’s transport to pentonville. Okay, well, go. I’ll call a ride-share. Okay. You keep me posted. I will. Mac sure took off in a hurry. What’s it to you? Finn: I remember this. I remember reiko was hospitalized with some injuries, that she fell down a flight of stairs. She — she tripped. She told me she tripped. I wish to god that was true. But I remember it now. Finn, I caused the fall which put her in the hospital where she contracted blackwood’S. Mnh. And I’ve been pushing you away so that I would never have to know what happened. And neither would you. Mm.

[ Glass crunches ] That’s strange. Why would this…


I mean, that can’t be what happened. That — that doesn’t make any sense. All right, listen, if — if reiko fell because of a fight with you, why would she claim to be alone? Why would she lie to me? Finn, I love you. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for any of this — just say it, elizabeth. Just say the words. Reiko and my dad were having an affair. God, heather’s escaped. Heather! I-I don’t know. When I came to, I came around, the door was open and you were alone.

[ Groans ] She’s so dangerous. We need to find her. Have you got the keys? Yeah. Thanks. Okay. You injured anywhere else? No, I’m fine. Feel a bit dizzy. Okay. Are you okay? I’ll be fine. We got to get out of here before the cops find us, okay? Yeah. And anyone else who wants me dead. Oh! Wait, wait. Valentin! Okay. It’s okay. He’s with us. He’s with us. Are you okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hit my head. I’m fine. I’m fine. Listen, I have a police scanner in the car. They’re on their way. We’ve got to move. Okay. We can’t leave until we find heather. She escaped. Heather! No, no, there’s no time. No, no, no. She’s dangerous. The police are coming. They’re going to take you to pentonville. That’s where victor wants you. He’s going to eliminate you. Come on. All right, all right. Thank you. You’re welcome. Go. Tj: Sonny. Hey, tj. What’s going on? Any chance you’re here with nina? No, I’m by myself. Can I help you with anything? No. My problem’s with nina. Really? Is this about you and willow? Leukemia? That’s why I’m in dr. Randolph’s office. She’s my oncologist. The test results I was getting today weren’t about the pregnancy. They’re about my cancer. How long have you known? Maybe a week after I found out I was pregnant. Tj is the first one who suspected it. I am so sorry I kept this from you. It has been the hardest decision I have ever had to live with in my life. I’m so sorry, willow. I’m so sorry. What’s it to me? Honestly, I don’t know. I mean, mac rushed out of here looking upset. So he may not be my dad, but I-I-I still care. He got some unsettling news about one of our good friends. Really? I’m so sorry. Are they going to be okay or…? Well, I think that’s very kind of you to ask, but it’s clear that you were ambivalent at best at becoming a part of our family. So I can only imagine that now you might feel guilty since mac had his hopes up. From what it sounds like, probably not worthy of being mac’s son, so he’s probably better off without me. Well, if you really feel that way, then maybe these results are for the best. Take care of yourself, cody. I really mean that, okay? Okay. He’s still got a pulse. That’s good. Hey. Hey. How do I get you to a hospital?

[ Grunts ]

[ Sirens wailing ] Hear those sirens? Help is on the way.


I don’t even remember a jeff webber. All I know is that my dad and reiko were having an affair. My dad had a history of cheating on my mom. My wife and I were happy. I know. I know, and I’m really sorry. So am I, elizabeth. So am I. Thank you. I’m sure you have a lot of questions. Well, here. Let’s start with the obvious. How are you feeling? I’m scared. The baby? Baby’s fine. So all the times you– you’ve been… dizzy and tired, you… you’ve been doing chemo all by yourself? For the baby’s sake, I haven’t started chemo yet. I decided against it until we reached the second trimester. Willow, why? Tj, I was hoping I didn’t have to get into this personal matter. But willow is the mother of my grandchildren, and my son is involved, even though we’re not on good terms. Also, you know, molly. I was hoping that the tj I knew would not jeopardize all this. Sonny, can we just — can we stop, please? This is a huge misunderstanding. Nina confronted both me and willow separately about this, and we both made it extremely clear that we are not having an affair. But she does not want to believe that. Now she’s dragged you into it. And I don’t — you don’t what? Say it. Say it, tj. Sonny, you’ve always been there for me. Right. And I respect you. Right. But nina’s hell-bent on causing trouble for michael and willow, and she does not care how much trouble that’s going to cause for you, too. The security guard is on his way to gh. Oh, good. He’s in good condition. No injuries except for the bump on his head. Okay. And what’d he say? Well, he was blacked out until the paramedics arrived. Once they got him conscious, I asked him a few questions, but his memory was still pretty foggy. Did he know how the crash happened? Transport was supposed to stop at pentonville first, d’archam second. Driver drove right past the exit for pentonville. So the driver was the plant. That’s what the guard thought. Tried to stop the driver. That’s when the van spun out of control. So this whole thing was organized to spring one of the prisoners. And I can only imagine that anna is the one who was able to sort something like that out. Well, she certainly has enough contacts to call on for support to stay on the run. Ah, anna’s going to give us a real run for our money. What? Still nothing. We got to wait here for a minute. We can’t risk running into the police and getting pulled over. That’s a good strategy. Thank you. Not even an ounce of modesty anywhere. I’m good at this stuff. I — lucky me. You think dex is going to be all right? I think dex is going to be fine. Even if the guard realizes he was a plant, he won’t be able to id him. Besides, sonny will take care of dex. Thank you for taking care of me. Always. I like taking care of you. I hope you’re ready for this. I think it’s going to be a bumpy ride.


Rry, it’s me.I just spoke with finn, and I really need someone to talk to. Can you call me back?

[ Breathes shakily ] I can’t explain it, but my life is out of control right now. How can I help? It’ll be okay. I promise.

[ Groans ] This is from our boathouse. Ah, you should have killed me when you had the chance, esme. You made a mistake. I did my own research in addition to what all the doctors here told me. If I were to start chemotherapy in the first trimester, that would put our baby at great risk. If I could wait to start chemo until the second trimester, that would give our baby the best chance of survival. And you– you’ve been living with this all by yourself for all these months. Willow, that must have been so hard on you. No. I wasn’t totally alone. The doctors here have been supportive, and tj has been a great friend. But the decision to delay chemotherapy has come with a cost. What do you mean? Dr. Randolph just told me that… the test results confirmed my leukemia is now stage iv. Stage iv. Oh, my god, willow. Okay. Okay, what’s next? I start chemo right away. But because of the advanced stage, terry also wants to look into a bone marrow transplant. You know what’s really good for a stiff neck? If you’re about to offer me a massage, no, thanks. I was going to say muscle relaxers. And I happen to know a great doctor here. This is to say thanks. For what? Standing by me through all my “maury” drama. It’s just a latte. It’s not poison. Don’t do that. Stop trying to avoid what’s really going on here. I am so sorry that I waited so long to tell you. But I swear to you, michael, even if you hadn’t walked in when you did, I was going to tell you today. I believe you. I just — do you want to know why I didn’t tell you before? Look, willow, we’re, uh — we’re a team. And we built a life together. With wiley. And if…I said or did anything that made you think that I wouldn’t support you or I wouldn’t be able to handle what you’re going through — no, no, no, no. No, it’s not that. When I heard the diagnosis and what chemo would mean for our unborn child, and the doctors here, all of them — britt, terry, tj — they all wanted me to start chemo immediately. I really struggled with it. Deep in my heart, I knew I-I… I couldn’t face losing another baby. Not after jonah. And I-I knew that wasn’t fair to wiley, that the worst case would be that the leukemia progressed and I didn’t recover, but I convinced myself that it wouldn’t do much harm to delay treatment by a few weeks.

[ Sighs ] I felt like it was the best choice for me, for our entire family. Okay. I just want to make one thing very clear. This was always your choice. And I support that today, and I — and I would have supported that then. I just wanted us to enjoy our time together with wiley before things got too hard. Spare us all some heartache. Especially if… I don’t have much time left. Which I might not. I appreciate you, you know, warning me about nina, but I know her really well, and I believe her heart is in the right place. Okay, but what — what possible good can come from telling michael that willow and i are having an affair? Trust me, that is the absolute last thing she needs right now. I saw you two together. It seemed like something was going on. I even said something to michael. Sonny, you have known me practically my entire life. Is that what you think about me? That I’m a cheater? I’m not — I’m not hearing you deny it. Sonny, I promise you that willow and i are not romantically involved. I give you my word — that is not happening. Something is happening, tj. I know it. It’s not for me to say. But I’m asking you to trust me. Okay. You know what? If — if you say nothing is going on between you and willow, then I have to choose to believe it. But I’m telling you right now, it’s not going to be enough for michael. And you know it.


e’s going to be a lotof people looking for me. Victor’s people, law enforcement. In no time, they’re going to be searching for you, too. I know. We got to get someplace secure. What do you think? Can we risk getting out on the road now? I don’t think we have a choice. We stay here, the police will find us by morning. All this will have been for nothing.

[ Engine starts ] Hey. That’s right. We need a bolo posted for the two women who were being transported to pentonville penitentiary and d’archam asylum. We do not believe that they are armed, but heather webber should be considered dangerous. The other woman, anna devane, she is a fugitive, but she is not a threat. Thank you. All right. I’ve notified the highway patrol, although they don’t have much to go on because the guard didn’t give them much of a description of the driver. We don’t know if anna and heather are on foot or in a vehicle. I think chances of us getting a lead tonight are slim. Excuse me, mac. What do you think’s going on here? I think you’re hiding behind sugary coffee so you don’t have to deal with your feelings about mac not being your father. Well, you can’t blame me for wondering what it would be like to be a part of a close-knit family. For a few seconds there, I thought maybe I wouldn’t be alone in this world. Yeah, I — I get that. Even though my mother drives me crazy, I don’t know what I would do without her. Well, taub may have been a son of a bitch, but he’s my dad, and that is that. I’ve been alone pretty much my whole life. Looking out for just me has served me well so far. Who knows? Maybe you dodged a bullet. Family is a curse. From now on, we’re a team, okay? No matter what comes. I’m so sorry I didn’t tell you sooner. Hey, look. The important thing is — is I, uh…I know now. All right? So you don’t have to face this alone anymore. We’re going to get through this. And we’re going to get through this how we always do. Together. You’re my family, willow.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hey, dante. I thought you were working. Well, I am. But you were talking about her before, so I thought I’d let you know that anna’s escaped. Really? Yeah. And heather webber. Okay, wait a minute. Heather webber is with — with anna? I guess there was a problem with the vehicle that was supposed to take heather to d’archam, so they threw her in with anna, and the plan was to drop anna at pentonville and then take heather to d’archam. But they didn’t make it that far. There was an accident, and the van crashed. And I’m here on the scene right now. What caused the accident? I don’t know, sonny. There was some sort of struggle. But there was only a guard here when we got here. He was the only one with the vehicle. He was injured and taken to gh. Any idea what happened? No. Not yet, but I’m going to figure it out. Do not let anybody off of the island. That hook-wielding psychopath was in the house. And I will be damned if I let her get away.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

A good table tonight. It down will Better. Please go.

Hi

Chad. Paulina just gave me the rest of the night off, so you’re a free man. Great. I’m glad I could have you ready? Yes, just in time for our reservation bistro. Thanks again for your help, Chad. Couldn’t have done it.

Hmm. Enjoy your victory while you can Ms. Price.

Well, I have to say this has got to rate as one of the best days in my life. . I feel the same way and that is why we are about to have a great celebration. Yes, champagne included my treat. . Hi Sean. Oh well. Oh, almost my, so serious detective with something wrong. Yeah. As a matter of fact, there is, I need Chanel to come down the station.

Well, why, what forward? I have a warrant for her arrest? Uh, is this some kind of joke? Afraid it’s not. She now the pre, you’re under arrest and suspicion of murder.

Aren’t you thirsty? I am having second thoughts actually. What? It is Too late for that. Oh, come on Jackson. It’s gonna be a fun night. I promise. Not just fun but memorable. We’ll laugh. We’ll cry. Happy tears. Of course. We’ll take goofy selfies and post them to our socials. No we won’t. Fine, then we will laugh and cry and eat the Chile sea bass here to die for.

It’s very expensive, by the way. $46. But the sky’s the limit. Again with that look. What, what? Just wanna make sure you actually brought your wallet. Of course. I brought my wallet. Why would you even ask that? Just in case we having, uh, an oopsy moment when the check comes. Oh, ye of little faith. Prepare to have your shallow preconceptions of me shattered Jackson Kakkis.

See, I got an advance in my salary. It’s bringing a hole in my pocket. Well, look who it is. Oh God. What are you? What are you doing here? Did you bring him here as some kind of threat? He’s headed in for me since the night you were stabbed. Relax, Leo. I didn’t come here for you.

I came here for her.

Where’s your partner in crime? Oh, you mean my partner in crime fighting? Yeah. Despite your best efforts, our client won our election and is off celebrating. Well, you’re drowning your sorrows with martini sorrows. Oh, no, no, no honey. I’m the one who’s celebrating. But you lost. Good boy. You are way behind with times.

Oh, looking for someone? Uh, yeah, I thought my husband would be here. Oh, you shouldn’t be long. If you just wanna wait. I just sent him out with an arrest warrant. Wish he should be serving right about. Now

murder. What? No. There there must be some kind of mistake. No. No. Afraid there isn’t a mistake. It’s gonna be okay, baby. Well, what is this all about, John? Honestly, I don’t know. It’s the DA’s idea. So Trask put you up to this. Yeah. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney. You cannot afford one for you. No Ms. Price. Madam Governor, like is this true? Do you have any comments?

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

This is one defeat. You can’t spin, counselor, you have nothing left to blackmail. Poll price with not that Stephanie gave her the original. Yeah, that’s what Alex did with it. Didn’t realize he was moonlighting for sj p r. They’re friends. Friends, right. Anyway, Alex stole my file, so I stole it right back from him.

What are you talking about? I owe it on prize’s new system, Leo Stark one, and only thanks to him I got access into Paulina’s Safe and the information that rightfully belonged to me.

I knew you didn’t come here to palm me then why were you just hiding behind Sunny like a human shield. I was just trying to lighten the moment. I mean, you’re not mad at me anymore about what happened to your brother? Leo, I don’t know how to break this to you, but I don’t think about you at all, especially when I have much, much more pleasant things to dwell on.

Oh, charmer, he sure is. Well, we would invite you to join us, but Sunny and I have lots to talk about. Mm, no we don’t. Yes we do. No, we don’t. Yes, we do. Hey, how if he gets too handsy, I will. Thanks. You know, your brother could afford to show more respect. Oh, yeah. And why would he? Why would he do that? Isn’t it obvious I am a key member of our new governor’s team?

I’d go as far as to say I’ve made myself indispensable to her. You may wanna record the news tonight. Your husband’s bound to be all over the coverage. Coverage of what? Wait, who did he go arrest? I am so glad you asked. You see, camera crews are gonna be there to document Paulina Price’s, historic victory, but they’re also gonna bear witness.

So the governor elects very first scandal. Wait. This is about Paul . My guess is she won’t even make it to inauguration day before she has to resign. You’ve sent Sean to arrest Paul for what? Sadly, Ms. Price is not the subject of the warrant. But our new governor has worked really hard to cover up the heinous crime committed by her daughter.

Remove those handcuffs. Now, this is an outrage. What is happening? Oh, don’t you worry. Don’t you worry, baby. Is it? Let her go. You get away from my baby. I can’t do that. I’m sorry. Here, Colleen, do not interfere. Okay, well, I’m going to interfere this. This doesn’t make any sense. Murder Uncle Sean. There’s no way.

Governor Elect Price. Did you know there was a warrant for your daughter? Mayor Carver, do you have any comment on your stepdaughter’s arrest? Who was the victim? All right, come on, come on. Let’s get you down. Mr. Priest, Chanel, do you have any comment? She has no comment, but I can tell you this is a mistake and a travesty.

Mama, I thought, look, no, baby, don’t you say, don’t you say anything. Don’t you say anything. I promise you this will all, this will all be okay. Chanel give.

Hi, Holly. Holly. Let’s go this way. Let’s go this way. Come on, come on.

Uh, well, I guess a toast to your boss to winning the election. Cheers. Okay. What’s with the lousy mood? All of a sudden, tell your snarky brothers comment, hurt my feelings. You have feeling. Ha ha. Hilarious. This is a serious question, which I’m not gonna dignify with an answer. Look, I know I’ve screwed up in the past, but I’m doing my damnedest to make amends to the people I’ve heard trying to make a decent living, trying to be a productive member of the Salem community, and he.

Treats me like I’m gum on the bottom of his shoe. You can’t blame him for being a little curious as to why he invited me out here. As a matter of fact, I am too. I told you why. If you hadn’t recognized Clyde Weston’s cologne and identified him as your attacker, I’d be in prison right now. Great. I’m very glad that the right person was punished.

But you didn’t have to take me out to dinner. I know. I didn’t have to. I wanted to and we have a history after all. You gone what? What should I not bring up our past that we used to be married? It is kind of a big deal. Yes, but it doesn’t make the case that you think it does. Leo. Sing as you know, uh, you blackmailed me.

So using the term married to describe what we were makes me a bit queasy. I only blackmailed you after you and will thought you killed me and rolled my body up in a rug to dispose of fine. None of that would’ve happened if you hadn’t gone after me and Will in the first place.

Well, this is fun. Yes. We haven’t even worked at appetizers yet.

Is it mirror? Are things getting tense over there? You know, I’m not sure Sonny even knows why he’s here. It’s not a date isn’t. No. No. God no. Sunny and will are solid, but hey, let’s just, let’s ignore them. Let’s focus on our big night. And it is a big night. Mm-hmm. , isn’t it? Mm-hmm. . Ah. Hearing those election results felt even better than I thought it would.

You made that happen. Oh, I was a small part. Would you please, please stop being so humble. Okay. A medium sized part. And so were you, thank you again for hitting that file from Sloan. I know you felt like you were betraying her. If that’s all it took to garnish a date with you, I’d do it all over again. I am sorry, and I take that back.

I’m not gonna be that guy again. What guy? The guy that just comes on too strong and pushes way too hard. Calling this a date would be, um, presumptuous maybe, but. What if it is a day?

So you still think I’m bluffing fine, but don’t come crying to me whenever all hell breaks loose. Which should be any moment now, by the way.

Okay, so you have the. What’s your number?

You wanna buy the file back? Name me a price. You’ll have it tonight. I guess. I can’t blame you for thinking that Paulina can buy her way out of this one, but you humiliated me. You used someone that I cared about to get what you wanted,

so you forced me to up the. What are you talking about? It means that Paul is about to get what’s coming to her, and she will have no one to blame, but you and Stephanie,

I guess this Samir Carver, but I want you to get security to escort the reporters away from Ms. Price’s door. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Hey, why did you drag me in here when you know Chanel needs me? Those reporters out there are the reason you are going to be swamped. We’re just lucky your office is right off the square.

I’m so lucky. Look, I’m worried about unless you are, but this isn’t about her. She was arrested for murder, but this story isn’t about her. This is about you. The governor elect those reporters out there, they are going to ask you questions. You don’t have the answers for ’em, or maybe you do.

You’re arresting Chanel. For what? You know that warrant your husband is currently serving? I don’t think I’ve ever had an easier time having a judge sign off on be. Oh, nice work Detective. How’d it go? You know exactly how it went. I’ve got uniforms out front trying to keep the reporters at bay. Oh, I’m sure they have so many questions and I hope all those photographers got you.

Good side. Mr. Pree, uh, you know why you’re here, right? Actually, Chanel, you don’t have to say anything. Let’s get her down to booking so I can start questioning her. Yeah. Sean, what is going on? I, I don’t know. I don’t know all the details, but I’ll fill you in later. Okay. Come on.

Okay, look. Can we start over? Leo, why don’t we just get the check and leave the check For what? We haven’t ordered anything. No, but we got the drinks and actually waiter. Sunny. Stop. Stop. The last thing I wanted to do tonight was.

Looking back, I’m sure there are things that we both regret. That we both regret. No, I don’t regret a damn thing. Okay, fine. Well, there are things that I regret, but we also have had our fun, right? No. No, we did not. Well, it’s never been boring. Can you at least say that?

Okay. I’ll give you that one. I just want us to get along. Thank God. What? It’s not that I don’t think you want to get along Leo, but you always have some ulterior motive, an angle, and if by chance you are looking for another sugar daddy, I wanna make it very, very clear that this ring I’m wearing, it means a lot to me.

You think I asked you out to try and seduce you and take your money? I’m not not thinking it Well, I am beyond hurt and insulted, which is something I’m very used. Besides, I don’t need a sugar daddy. I have a great job. Now then what do you want? Friendship. Seriously? You say that like it’s some insane fantasy.

Like, who does Leo Stark think he is trying to have friends? Okay. No, that’s, that’s not what I meant. Yes it is. Yes it is. It’s fine.

The truth is I don’t have very many friends. It’s distressing. Yes, there’s Gwenny whom I adore, but I don’t have a single gay male friend in Salem. Not one. And you want me to be the one? Well, Sonny, you’re successful, you’re popular, you’re funny, which is very important to me because I’m hilarious and have been told many times that I should do standup.

My point is maybe you have no idea what it’s like to be lonely, but I’ll give you a window. It sucks.

What are you not telling me? Paulina Abraham. I heard Chanel say something. I know what you’re thinking. That your wife is keeping yet another secret from you that thought had entered my. I really believed I had this under control. And what? Under control? Oh, look, Paulina. Paulina, I want to help you, but I can’t help you if I don’t know what this is.

And there’s no time to waste if Chanel is going to be charged with murder. So, Please for the sake of your daughter.

I was being blackmailed for something Chanel did when she was younger and the blackmailer said I had to pay up or, or the police would find out the truth. I hired Stephanie Johnson to handle it. That thought she was your campaign manager? Yes. Yes, but it was more than that. The proof was in a file and Stephanie, she, she got it back for me and, you know, the, the blackmail was over.

Chanel was safe. At least I thought she was. So what did you do with this file? Well, I put it somewhere where no one could get to it. I just, I don’t even understand how this all got out of control. Who is it? Who was blackmailing you? Sloan Peterson. That witch. What did you do? Only would I had been threatening to do from the very beginning if I didn’t get what I was asking for.

You went to the cops even better, I’m sure you won’t be surprised to hear that Da Trask was very, very interested in the contents of that file.

Come on. Come on, answer.

Pharrell, you’d be willing to to date, because up until now everything you’ve said has been pretty much the opposite. I. And I had my reasons, but maybe it’s time to rethink those reasons. That is the best news that I’ve heard all year long.

It’s Chad,

do you need to take that? I’ll, I’ll give you some privacy. Um, No, no. I’m here with you. Notifications are silenced. Look at you. Look at me. Election’s over. Hmm. I deserve a night without alerts. Work is done for the day. You sure? Yeah. Whenever it is. It can wait. Right now I have something more important to focus on.

Cheers to that

Sam Bell. Allie, I was just trying to call you. Have you seen Chanel? Yeah, Sean just brought her through. I tried to follow, but I fight through all these reporters. Is she, is she locked up already? Oh no, she’s still here in the station. They just took her down to booking. Gosh, she must be so scared and there’s nothing I can do.

Do you know what this is about? No. No. Paulina had just finished her victory speech. Everything was great, and then all of a sudden Sean showed up with a warrant, said the charges were murder. Wait, what? Murder? How can that be?

Okay. Now turn to the right.

Sounds like you’re getting a lot of alerts. Something in the news. Dana Ste. Why aren’t you picking up? No, I guess she’s busy. I’ll know where she is. Good luck. You’ll need it.

This girl. I don’t know how she did it, but somehow Sloan got into my safe and she stole back the evidence. How’d she get her hands on that evidence in the first place? Well, she’s representing some mystery clients. You wouldn’t tell me who and, and, and, uh, the evidence was just sitting in. I plan to shred everything, but I haven’t had a moment alone since I got my hands on it.

So if the DA was able to secure a warrant yes. For Chanel’s arrest, that means Melinda Trask has that file right now. Oh, and she hates me, says I strong armed her into giving Lonnie that plea. So you think she’s taking it out on Chanel? Oh, I know she is. Oh my poor baby. I need to go see my daughter. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Until we have a plan. Until we have a plan, we have to keep our distance from post reporters. What we need to sit here. We need to do something. Look, I. One step at a time. We cannot help Chanel until we have a plan, and until you tell me what she did.

Stephanie, Chad, why are you doing here? Why are you ignoring my calls? Hey, we’re in the middle of something here, bud. Right? Um, sorry, I’m, I’m sorry to interrupt. I, I, I really am, but you need to check your phone. Why, what’s going on?

You’re serious, aren’t you? About wanting a friend. Why would I joke about that? Because literally everything is a joke to you, Leo. You enjoy nothing more than making someone look like a total idiot. That’s how you see me. Is there any other way? So I like to keep people laughing because, like I said, being funny.

It’s my greatest talent. And yes, I enjoy scandalizing people by being outrageous because it keeps them at a distance. But you know where that gets you right here with somebody thinking that you’re playing a prank when you’re trying to reveal a piece of your heart to.

I’m sorry. It’s fine. It’s my own fault. I act like a clown. I don’t expect people to look beneath the surface level. I just didn’t expect you to be like everybody else.

When did this happen? Right after Paulina gave her victory. How did this happen? I’m still trying to sort all that out, but I just ran into, uh, Toone and she was all too happy to let me know what she did. She got the documents back and she used them. Wait, but that’s impossible. But how did she get him out?

Polina Safe

said he helped. So bitch. Oh, Alex, what are you doing? Hey, get up. Huh? Get up. What? What did you do? You little rat.

I wanna help Chanel so bad, but I don’t even know who to call. I’ve never felt this helpless. It’s gonna be okay girl. Help any way I can.

Where Sonnel is she? Okay? Transcos are in interrogation. She wants to be the one to do the initial. Chanel’s by herself. That can’t be good. Well, this is what trash does. Make the arrest publicly, catch the suspect off guard, rush them through booking. She wants Chanel to be scared and desperate, so she’ll say whatever she needs to say to get outta that room.

Sean, you have to help her please.

It’s just you and me right now. Miss D. And, and I need you to understand that the truth is your only way through this, the truth. All right, let’s stop this right now. Excuse me, but you’re not allowed to be in here Chanel. Do you want representation? Huh? Do you want my help? Do you want me to be your lawyer?

Yes. Good. This interrogation at, so.

You might wanna think twice about that. Chanel Mrs. Brady’s been hanging around the station tonight. Do you really wanna trust your fate in the hands of an ambulance chaser? Chanel has stated her preference for counsel, so anything you wanna say to her, you say through me, it’s not too late to change your mind.

She’s my lawyer now. There you go, Ms. Trus. I’d like a few minutes to confer with my client, so if you wouldn’t mind, or even if you do mind,

Allie was really afraid that you were gonna be in here alone. But listen, you are. Alone anymore.

Detective, don’t you have an arrest report to write up? I’ll get to it. Why are you doing this? I’m just doing my job, Allie. But if you know something, then you can help your friend by making a statement. Just leave it alone. Okay. I’m just trying to be helpful by arresting Chanel in front of half the town.

Chanel’s not doing herself any favors in there. Okay. You might think that letting Bell take over is a good idea, but I’m just trying to get to the truth. Well, I don’t know anything, and even if I did, I wouldn’t tell you my girlfriend is not a murderer and you know this because, because I would know like, I’m sorry, Allie, but that’s what we call misplaced loyalty.

Right. She’s been keeping a very big secret from you from every. That’s all gonna come out now.

Alex, take it easy. Just tell me what you did, Leo. Tell me what you did. Just tell me who you’re working for. Don’t lie. I don’t lie. Call Le Price. Get off me. Admit it. Just admit it. What did you do? Wait, wait. How am I supposed to admit anything? I don’t know what you’re talking about. Let him go, Alice. Yeah, please.

It’s okay. Glad I wasn’t being paranoid before. Hey, Can we just, what’s going on? Okay. Leo, did Sloan Peterson go to Paulina’s office today? What? Answer the question. What? I, yeah. I, I, I owe Sloan some money, but what does my business with Sloan have Anything to do with you? It doesn’t, except when your business is stabbing.

Our friends in the back,

I just can’t believe that Chanel’s been carrying this. Burden around for so long. You too. Oh, babe, I’m, I’m so sorry for keeping this from you, and please don’t, don’t hate me for lying to you yet again.

I.

And I get why, oh, you kept this hidden. This wasn’t your secret to tell. You understand. I’ll do anything I can to help you and your daughter. Thank you. Thank you, Abraham. Thank you.

Kicking the DA out of here doesn’t mean that she’s going away for good. She’s gonna wanna sit with you and she’s gonna have a lot of tough questions, but the good news is I’ll be here to make sure you don’t say anything that’s gonna hurt yourself. Okay. Thank you. Now, Allie said that your arrest came as a surprise to.

was it a surprise to you, or did you see it coming? No, I, I thought it was all over. That Mama was helping, helping make it go away? Well, that she had this file, the one that Ms. Trask has now. What’s in the file? I am supposed to tell you everything. Actually, you know, it’s probably better if you don’t give me the details.

The police still have to show me what they have, and it’s probably better that I see that without any preconceptions. They have that file, then they have everything they need. So you’ve seen what’s in that file. Mama, show me a copy. Okay. Chanel, I want you to understand that in a court of law, it’s not always about the.

It’s about what they can prove is true. Okay.

What documents I, I don’t understand, and what does this have to do with Paul and Hiss daughter? Just tell us what happened when Sloane was in the office. Why is this important? Just tell them everything. Leo, I already told you. She showed up because she wanted money. Did you give it to her? Well, it wasn’t that simple.

I didn’t have any cash. Paul had promised me in advance and I wanted to get rid of Sloan, so, so you opened Paulina Safe, the combination was just sitting there. You opened it in front of Sloan. Well, how else was I supposed to get the money out? I took what I needed and I closed it right back up. Obviously not.

She said you helped her. What? No, no, I didn’t help her do anything. Did you turn your back for even a second? No.

Oh geez. Answer the question, Leo,

maybe. Okay. You’re gonna have to do better than that. Well, I, I had to count the money. Right. And we know that staying focused is in my strong suit, neither’s Math. Well, congratulations, Leo, you just destroyed your boss’s career and her daughter’s life.

Uh huh. Well, thank you for the update.

They’ve cleared out most of the reporters. Just a few stragglers left, hoping to catch a sound bite from you. Hmm. Which they’ll twist and use against my Chanel. Well, don’t say anything for now. Why? Need to get down to the station. Look, why don’t we, why don’t we call down there and check. It it We’ll see if Ali knows what’s going on, huh?

Yes. Good idea. Good idea. Oh,

Helen El, are you at the station? I’m here. Where are you? Um, in my office. Trying to avoid the press. How’s my baby? Have you seen her? No. She’s in the interrogation. Oh my God. She’s all alone in there. No, she’s not alone. Um, my Aunt Bell’s in there. I think she’s taking on the case. Oh, thank God. Thank God.

Well, if you see her, you tell her to hold on. Okay. Tell her mama is coming.

So for now, you just stay quiet and you let me do all the talking. Okay. Oh, it’s Allie. She’s out in the station and she said she just spoke to your mom and she’s on her way soon. I can’t believe this happened on our election night. Well, they obviously planned it that way.

I trust that you and your shiny new client are getting to know each other, but I still have questions that need to be. Well, they’ll have to wait. It’s been a long night and I still need to see your evidence . Okay, you wanna stall? Fine, but since it’s too late for an arraignment, it’s also too late for a bail hearing, meaning your client is gonna be our guest for the night downstairs in the lockup.

Detective, please escort our newest guest down to recorders for the evening. Uh, Chanel, everything is gonna be okay, Sean. We’ll keep you safe and I’ll have you out in the morning. Okay, here we go.

Best Cuffer before you walk her down there as befits a murder suspect.

I really got Paul and his daughter in trouble, huh? Yeah. Looks pretty bad or kid. Well, Alex seems to think whatever happened that I did it on purpose. And did you What? I would never do anything to Paulina or Chanel. If Sloan stole something from Paulina Safe, she did it while I wasn’t looking. You believe me, right.

God help me. But yeah. Yeah, I do.

I can’t stay here any longer. I need to be with my daughter. Look, I know that. And I would do my best to shield you from those reporters. So are you ready for this? Oh, I have to be. We’ll get through it together.

All right. Let’s go.

Well, now we know Sloane used Leo to get that file. Are we sure he wasn’t working for her? I don’t know. So we should probably get started on this right away. Yeah. I’m sorry, Alex, but I have to go. My phone is going to explode if I don’t at least release a statement and I need to go find Paulina. Yeah, of course.

Oh, we’ll do this again another time. I’d like that a lot

you. Yeah, let’s go.

Congratulations, madam Governor Elect, Mr. Mayor, you both won hard fought elections. But I wonder at what price? What are you doing here? Are you here to glute something like that? Paulina, you know, it would’ve been so much cheaper for you just to pay me when I asked, but now the whole world is gonna know what Chanel did and how you covered it up.

Well, here’s what I. That you are a miserable, heartless cow. Now get outta my way. I’ve gotta go see my daughter

snow. Oh my God. I’m so sorry. Don’t touch the prisoner. Oh, she’s not a prisoner detective. This contact is inappropriate. Whatever you need, I’m here for you. Okay. I love. I love you too, Chelsea Brady. Take her away.

Thomas: I’m so pumped, I’m gonna get right into the next collection.

Ridge: Or maybe you should just enjoy the moment of what happened here.

Thomas: Well, okay. I got tons of emails and phone calls and not all of them are from mom.

Ridge: Course they’re not all from mom because you guys did an amazing job. You, zende, hope, you knocked it out of the park.

Thomas: Yeah.

Ridge: It couldn’t have gone any better.

Thomas: Last night was incredible and I’m pumped about that. But you don’t seem as pumped as I am.

Ridge: I’m just as pumped as you. What are you talking about?

Thomas: Okay, it just seems like something heavy is weighing on you. What’s going on?

Ridge: I– it’S…

Thomas: Come on. You can tell me. Is it like, did bill get one of his hacks to pan us or what?

Ridge: It’s nothing to do with bill. I… it’s nothing to do with you or your show. Everything was great. I just, I saw brooke there, and I know I saw her and… and just wonder how she could do what she did. How she could call child services and yeah, I just don’t know what to do with it.

Thomas: She– she hasn’t talked to you about that?

Ridge: Nah, she’s still pretending she doesn’t know what drove us apart.

Thomas: You know what? It’s probably best to just put it out of your mind. I mean, look, that whole situation, it wasn’t fun or anything, but it’s like… it wasn’t great answering those questions, but it’s not like it affected me. It didn’t affect douglas. Just move on from it. You know, brooke is in the past and we’re all moving on from that. I think that’s pretty amazing. I mean, you– you’ve been dedicating your time to our family and we’re overjoyed to have you.

Ridge: I did something today, something that’s gonna hurt brooke very much.

Steffy: There’s our superstar designer. Thomas, I saw an article calling you the future of fashion. Amazing. What? Did you already hear about it?

Ridge: No, it’s um…

Steffy: What?

Ridge: Er, I had carter deliver some papers to brooke today.

Steffy: Papers?

Ridge: Annulment papers.

Brooke: I didn’t expect to see you, carter.

Carter: Yeah, well… ridge asked me to come.

Brooke: Oh, I see. You have something for me.

Carter: I do.

Thomas: You’re annulling your marriage?

Ridge: If brooke agrees, yeah.

Steffy: You don’t know if she’s going to resist.

Ridge: I don’t know anything. I don’t know. No, I do know. I know she’s going to be hurt. I know that.

Steffy: Well, I’m sure carter will handle it with compassion.

Ridge: Sure he will. Um, it’s gonna be a little awkward around here. Brooke works here, I’m here, and it’S… I– I just need everyone to understand that this is gonna be a little bit strange.

Thomas: Yeah, absolutely.

Steffy: Yeah.

Ridge: Well, it should make you happy, right?

Steffy: Well, yeah, it does make me happy. I mean, I want you and mom back together. We don’t want brooke to be hurt.

Ridge: Oh, she’s going to be hurt. There’s nothing we can do about that.

Thomas: Dad, I mean, I know that you’re worried about brooke and her feelings. I get that, but it’s not like this comes out of the blue, right? She– she had to expect this.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: He really did it.

Carter: I feel terrible.

Brooke: Well, he mentioned an annulment dissolving our marriage, so it’s not really a surprise.

Carter: Still must be shocking.

Brooke: Yeah, it is. It’s really shocking to see it here in black and white. A marriage like ours shouldn’t be ending with a few pieces of paper. It shouldn’t be ending at all. Did ridge say anything? Did he ask you to tell me anything? Well, I saw him after the showing and he was, um, he wasn’t callous, but there was a barrier. And I was just hoping…

[ Brooke sighing ] Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Katie: Jennifer, you’re such a doll. I love working with you. Okay, so here it is. Cover, shoot, four-page spread. Sounds beautiful. I’ll have my people call your people. Thank you. Bye. Hi. You’re here. I asked pam if you were– oh. Well. Oh. That’s not a happy face.

Carter: You got a minute?

Katie: Yeah. What’s going on?

Carter: I just came from brooke’S.

Katie: You saw my sister?

Carter: You might want to give her a call.

Katie: Why?

Carter: She’ll want to hear from you.

Katie: This is about ridge, isn’t it? You’re his attorney and you went to her house. Did you give her divorce papers?

Carter: Ridge wants an annulment.

Katie: An annulment? He wants to wipe out their marriage like it never even happened? This is going to devastate her.

Thomas: Hey, dad. Taking this step, I mean, even if you’re certain it’s going to be a challenge and it’s especially gonna be a challenge if you know you’re going to hurt someone, but it’s the best thing to do so that everyone can just move forward.

Steffy: Yeah. You can’t start a life with mom until you end things with brooke.

Ridge: I know. But she said she wouldn’t give up on us, not ever.

Steffy: Okay and that makes me sad for her, but you are committed to mom.

Ridge: Told her that too.

Steffy: Well, maybe it’ll be more clear to her once you give her the papers.

Ridge: That’ll be clear to her, I’m sure. I should’ve been there. It’s not an easy thing. No, I should’ve been there for her, I should’ve called her, warned her, something.

Thomas: Dad, that wouldn’t have changed anything. It wouldn’t have made it better. I mean, brooke expects you to come back to her. You always choose her over our family.

Steffy: But this time he didn’T.

Thomas: Right.

Steffy: You couldn’T. Mom offered you something better. A love that you’ll never be able to question.

Thomas: Look, dad, you’re– you’re a good person and you’re trying to look out for everyone’s best interests. But at some point, you just gotta look after yourself.

Ridge: What is happening here? You guys are concerned about my feelings, about brooke’s feelings. Okay, cool. Listen, our marriage wasn’t perfect, but we always found a way to keep moving, to fix things, to communicate. But this, I don’t know. I can’T… I can’t get past it.

Thomas: I’m sorry, dad.

[ Brooke sobbing ] You didn’t live this strong, this long to get put

Ridge: Sorry? What are you sorry about?

Steffy: Yeah, you wanted dad and brooke apart as much as anyone.

Thomas: I’m sorry that dad’s feeling bad about what he’s going through.

Ridge: Well, don’T. Thank you, but don’T. It’s gonna be okay. It’S… it’s good.

Steffy: Good. You uh, you asked brooke for an annulment. That’s good. You’re starting a life with mom. I think that’s amazing.

Thomas: You’re not having second thoughts?

Ridge: Second thoughts? No, this is not… no, I’m just um, uh, what’s the word? I’m– I’m conflicted. I’ve spent two lifetimes with brooke and we’ve done everything together and… I now know she’s in pain. It’s because of me and trying to find a place to put that. Trying to process things, that’s all.

Thomas: I get that. All right, you just– at some point you gotta move past it, right? You gotta move on. And you’ve honestly, you’ve nothing to feel guilty about. All right. So focus on the things that make you happy like, uh, like your family. Right? And your son’s success.

Steffy: Yes. And the joy mom brings to your life.

Ridge: Yeah.

Thomas: Look dad, it’S… you’re moving forward into an incredible time in your life, so there’s no reason to look back. What happened with brooke and everything like that, you got to move beyond that. Like I said, you shouldn’t feel guilty about it, all right? So just focus on your future. Focus on mom.

[ Katie sighing ]

Carter: You need to call your sister.

Katie: No, I’m– I’m going to. I will. I… I’m gonna give her a minute. You know, she– she’ll reach out to me if she needs me. I just hope she’s okay.

Carter: She will be. You logans are the strongest women I’ve ever met.

Katie: Yeah, but we’re not invincible. I mean, I can just see her, she’S… holding those papers and thinking about the life that she wants with ridge, the life that they’ve planned on, the life that they fought for. I mean, they have always overcome everything, outside obstacles in their way, whatever it is that’s thrown in their way, they always overcome it. Taylor wasn’t supposed to be a threat. Ridge said that she wasn’t a threat. They were apart and he came back to her. And now he wants to just wipe everything away like it never even happened. This is going to crush her, carter. She loves ridge so much.

Carter: And he loves her too, I’m sure of it.

Katie: Then why is this happening? Why is this happening?

Carter: It’s gonna be okay.

Ridge: Carter dropped off the papers?

Brooke: You couldn’t have asked carter that? You had to come see for yourself?

Ridge: I just wanna make sure you’re okay.

Brooke: I’m not drinking if that’s what you’re worried about.

Ridge: It’s not what I’m worried about.

Brooke: What do you care?

Ridge: I will always care about you.

Brooke: Yeah? If you really care, ridge, you’d tell me what is going on. Because I don’t understand it. You want to annul our marriage? You want to just erase our life together?

Ridge: We need to move on.

Brooke: Okay. You keep saying we. But if I sign those papers, there will be no we. So, is that really what you want? Is this it? Is this the end for us? Is it? Moderate-to-severe eczema.

Thomas: Think brooke will sign the papers?

Steffy: I can’t believe dad gave them to her.

Thomas: You have doubts?

Steffy: No, I just can’t believe it finally happened. We wanted our parents back together. And after all these years, mom was away wanting to be back with dad, knowing that he would never leave brooke. How he’s finally had enough.

Thomas: Yeah, well, I was starting to wonder.

Steffy: He asked for an annulment. It’s over.

Thomas: Well, it was time, you know, for our family to finally be together. I mean, seeing him and brooke, it’s like, it’s night and day between that and mom. And he’s just so much happier with her. It’s just seeing brooke and how she’s constantly demanding what he does and trying to control everything.

Steffy: And no matter how many times we told him to just stop and break the cycle, dad wouldn’t listen.

Thomas: ‘Til he got the message loud and clear.

Steffy: Yes, and he followed her all the way to aspen and everything changed.

Thomas: And now he’s free. Moving on from that life, moving into a life with our mother and away from brooke logan trying to control him and our family.

Brooke: This annulment isn’t really what you want, ridge. Deep down, you know, it’s a mistake.

Ridge: We can’t keep doing this to each other. We want different things for ourselves, for our kids.

Brooke: So, this is it? This is the end of our marriage?

[ Brooke scoffing ] What is going on? What is this? This wall between us? Why? Everything was fine, ridge, and I love you and I know you love me, too. So, none of this makes sense. I don’t even understand why this is happening. Yeah, you say you need to be with taylor and your children. But why? Your children are adults. They can take care of themselves. And don’t tell me this is just the way it has to be. Because that is no reason. No reason at all. I just need to know why. Why are you doing this?

Brooke: Hello. I’d like to report a child in danger. His name is douglas forrester. His father, thomas forrester is unstable. He has a knife.

Cps agent: And your name, ma’am?

Thomas: Brooke logan,

please hurry.

Brooke’s voice: Brooke logan please hurry.

[ Thomas sighing ]

Thomas: Goodbye, brooke.
