[ Relaxing music ]

Taylor: Is anyone else having trouble processing this? I mean, we– we– we saw the proof. We– we heard the news. It– sheila’s actually dead.

Steffy: Yeah. It’s definitely hard to process.

Ridge: Hard to process, hard to believe. And I wouldn’t if I didn’t have dna evidence.

Taylor: Oh, my gosh.

Thomas: Yeah, I just don’t get it. Like, how is there only one toe left?

Ridge: I don’t know.

Steffy: Dad, I can’t believe you’ve got a picture of it.

Ridge: What? Needed a new background. Give me a break.

Taylor: It’s totally inappropriate.

Ridge: I– I understand this is hard to bear. But look, it’s over now. She’s gone. Let’s look toward the future.

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: Right?

Steffy: Yeah. The best future for you and our entire family is one where you open your eyes and you run to mom. As fast as you possibly can.

Liam: Oh, my god. Is that– oh, my god.

Brooke: Her toe, yes. Ridge wanted a picture.

Hope: Dad, I’m– I’m so sorry. I know this can’t be easy for you. You and sheila were…

Deacon: You know, part of me felt for her. I think back on all the horrible things she’s done over the years I– obviously, most recently to steffy and finn and what she did to you. I don’t know. I guess if I feel sad, it’s because she never became that better person that she wanted to be.

Li: A part of me would have preferred sheila to spend years rotting in some dark cell unloved, alone. Regrets tearing up inside. But how she was torn apart instead works just as well. What? Too morbid?

Bill: No. No, not at all. Good to know we think alike. Anyway, good riddance. That maniac terrorized too many people.

Bill: It’s gotta be a relief knowing that sheila can’t hurt you again.

Li: Oh, it’s huge relief. You have no idea.

Bill: Look, no one would ever accuse me of being the greatest listener in the world. But if you do wanna talk about it, I know how painful this is for you. I can see it all over your face. And I remember how you were when I found you. So traumatized and broken. But look at you now. You found your voice again. You’re– you’re so much stronger. No– no pressure at all. But if you do need someone to talk to, I can be that someone. You can trust me.

Deacon: Why would ridge even send that to you? I mean, it’s disgusting. Can we just change the subject, please, to anything. Anything at all?

Liam: Mighty fine weather we’re having.

Deacon: I’ll run with it. Great. It’s been gorgeous.

Brooke: Look, I– I didn’t mean to interrupt you guys here, but I just wanted to give you the news. I didn’t think that I’d be staying so long.

Deacon: Because of me?

Brooke: No, because of me. Just don’t wanna do anything that might upset ridge.

Ridge: And there it is. How do I know you’re going to try and bring this conversation back to your mom and me?

Steffy: I’m just saying, after everything sheila put us through, it made me realize how every day is important. We have to spend this time on earth with the people who matter the most. And who matters more than the love of your life? That’s who you are to each other. Anyone can see it. She caught me. Just did it

Li: I eventually convinced sheila that I needed more medicine, which wasn’t a lie. Finn needed it. But soon as I left– thank you. She caught me. Just did it too soon. Things got ugly fast. Not much scares me, but my god, sheila carter attacking you with that evil look on her face, I thought it was over. But I fought her off. Got to my car. She followed. I was in such a panic, I could barely see in the rain. Next thing you knew, I was in the water. I lost control. Somehow survival instincts kicked in and I got free. I swam to shore. Injured, traumatized. Completely lost until you found me. I don’t know how much longer I could have been in that state if you hadn’t rescued me.

Bill: It wasn’t me. It’s what lives inside of you. Your– your strength, your resilience, your– your perseverance. You stood up to a true psycho and survived. Your son is alive because of you. He got away from sheila because of you. And he’s back with his wife and child. Because of you. Now listen, I am not a man who is easily impressed, but when I see someone who is pushed to the brink, whose back is truly against the wall, and they answer that challenge. You have earned my respect and my admiration.

Li: And you have earned mine.

Deacon: I don’t wanna argue about ridge.

Brooke: I don’t either. That’s why I am going to happily excuse myself so you can spend some time with our daughter. And I want you to have a good relationship, it’s just not going to involve me.

Deacon: Uh, well, there’s something you’re gonna wanna involve yourself with. Believe me.

Brooke: What– what are you talking about?

Deacon: Hope, tell your– tell your mother.

Brooke: What? What’s going on?

Hope: It’s nothing as of yet.

Liam: But, um, so thomas stopped by, and, uh, and he was thinking about making some changes.

Hope: About where douglas calls home. He brought up the idea of douglas living with him full-time.

Taylor: Steffy, I understand. And you’re right. You’re right. Who we spend our days with is very important.

Steffy: I sense a but coming.

Taylor: There’s a but. But we got this right. Right, ridge?

Ridge: Oh, yeah.

Taylor: We got it. And– and we can make our own decisions. Okay?

Thomas: Yeah. And you should. Like the decision to make out in monaco, which, by the way, we are fully supportive of.

Taylor: What is with these two?

Ridge: They’re relentless. It’s–

Taylor: Yes, we kissed. We kissed. We kissed. It was a good kiss. But– but you know, we got caught up in the moment.

Steffy: Don’t say you got caught up in the moment. Come on. It was more than that.

[ Phone chiming ]

Thomas: Huh.

Ridge: What? Some good news?

Thomas: Oh, it’s just– it’s douglas. I’m always happy when he reaches out. He wants me to go back to hope’s play some catch.

Ridge: Go. Don’t let us stop you.

Taylor: Yeah. Why don’t you use this as an excuse to stop talking about your parents making out?

Thomas: Oh, okay. All right. You got that. Are you– you’re gonna handle this.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Steffy: [Indistinct] Dad, I got you.

Thomas: Uh, okay. Actually, he’s gonna get ice cream with the sitter first, so I’ll head over after. I do like jumping on any chance I can to spend time with him.

Taylor: Well, you should. He’s your son. You should spend as much time with him as you want to.

Thomas: Yeah. I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately.

Taylor: What is it? What’s wrong?

Thomas: Nothing. It’s just– it’s, um, something douglas said to me earlier. Uh, he asked me if I missed him when we’re not together. It’s like– that broke my heart that he would even question. I– I just– I– I– I hate being away from him.

Steffy: You should never have to.

Taylor: No, you shouldn’T. It’s time, thomas. Douglas needs to be with you. This isn’t charmin! No wonder I don’t feel as clean.

Li: When you saw me in that alley, you could have looked the other way. You could have walked off without a thought to what I was going through. I just wanna tell you how grateful I am that you didn’T. That you chose to help a complete stranger.

Bill: It really wasn’t a choice, li. Walking away was not an option.

Li: Bringing me here certainly was. Letting me spend the night without knowing or having a clue of what I might be capable of.

Bill: That’s true. Turns out you were capable of a lot.

Li: I just wants– wanted to say thank you for taking a chance on me. And for everything you did for my son. If it weren’t for you, he might still be trapped with sheila. But instead, he’s home, reunited with his family.

Bill: But, well, you’re home, too. I– I just realize we got two reunions to celebrate. Your husband must have been worried sick, wondering what happened to you. He’s gotta be thrilled to have his wife home.

Brooke: I can’t believe this. That would– that– that would be terrible for douglas, removing him from his home.

Hope: I know.

Brooke: To where?

Liam: So thomas is planning on asking eric if he can move in with him. Which– I mean, I guess at least that would be a– a familiar place for douglas, but still uprooting him like that it’s kinda messed up.

Brooke: So he’s talking permanent custody? Is– is that it? A permanent home?

Hope: That’s what it sounded like.

Liam: Yeah, well, I mean, hope shut down the conversation before they could get too deep into it in front of the kid.

Hope: Look, I do feel for thomas in this scenario, okay? He– he cares about his son and vice versa. I know douglas loves being with his dad, but we’ve already established his home base with me and liam and beth, and he’s happy and thriving there. And I think disrupting that would be– it would be a huge mistake.

Brooke: But does thomas see it that way?

Taylor: You know hope is– hope has taken excellent care of douglas and we’re all very thankful for that. She’s provided security for him when you weren’t able to. But, honey, you’re in a completely different state of mind now, and there’s no reason that douglas shouldn’t live with you if he wants to.

Steffy: He’s been with hope and liam long enough. And we’re all thankful for what hope did after caroline died. But you’re the father. Time with your son shouldn’t feel like visitation. That’s ridiculous. Your son should feel at home with you.

Thomas: Yeah, that’s right. That’s– that’s exactly how it feels. It feels like when we’re together, we’re just visiting. And god what he said earlier that he could even question that I would miss him? Something inside me just couldn’t take it anymore.

Taylor: Then don’T. You need to talk to hope and tell her how you feel.

Thomas: I actually did. I already brought it up. I told her that douglas should live with me. Time. It’s life’s most precious commodity,

Bill: Your husband’s name is, uh, jack, right? Uh, poor guy had to be worried sick wondering what happened to you. Where you– I’m gonna stop talking now. It seems that I hit on a sensitive topic.

Li: No, it’s fine. It’s fine. I have nothing to hide. Whether jack was freaking out or not means very little to me. He and I are no longer together.

Bill: Sorry to hear that.

Li: I’m not. He lied to me most of our marriage. An affair. A child out of wedlock.

Bill: With sheila carter.

Li: I love my son more than anything. I’ll always be thankful that I adopted him. But the levels of deception jack went through pretending the child we were raising wasn’t biologically his. An affair I might have gotten over. But I will never forgive him for the amount of disrespect he showed me. Or for bringing that awful woman into our lives.

Hope: Hopefully, I will be able to get through to thomas when I talk to him, but I’m not so sure.

Liam: I mean, here’s the thing. He– he says that he wants what’s best for his son, but– like that’s obviously staying with hope and me where he’s secure and happy.

Deacon: Exactly. I mean, look, if thomas would just stop for a second and think what it is that he’s just–

Brooke: This is thomas we’re talking about. Does he ever stop to think? I mean, everything was going so well. You created such a beautiful, loving home for him. He has two very capable parents. An amazing role model in liam.

Hope: I just– I can’t– can’t imagine douglas leaving and what that would mean.

Brooke: Well, I can’t imagine that either. What would it mean to you? And to beth? Okay, so maybe thomas has made some improvements, but is he stable? Is he stable enough to care for douglas on his own? I honestly don’t think he ever will be.

Steffy: Hold on. Hope flat out shut you down?

Thomas: No, no it’s not that. She didn’t even say no. She just said it was a conversation for another time.

Taylor: Why would she wanna put it off?

Thomas: She didn’t want douglas overhear.

Taylor: And say, “oh, yes, “I’d love to live with my dad.” That’s probably what she was afraid of.

Ridge: Maybe she felt threatened. How did you phrase it?

Thomas: No, it’s not like that. It was just a suggestion. Okay. I– I just told her that I wanna be around my son. I wanna be with him more time than I have not with him.

Ridge: All right. But, you know, this is the last thing that douglas needs, right? This just doesn’t need to get contentious.

Thomas: No, I– that’s the last thing I want too. Douglas’ needs come first.

Steffy: Yeah. He needs you. He needs time with his father.

Taylor: Yeah, but ridge I don’t– I don’t think it– it doesn’t have to be contentious. It really doesn’t have to be. But– but, you know, hope doesn’t have the right to make this whole decision on any of this, especially with douglas saying that he thinks his father misses him. That’s not okay. Something needs to be done.

Steffy: He’s lived primarily with hope for a long time now, and it has been a loving, nurturing environment. Anyone can see that. But you could provide that, especially now that you’re doing so much better. I mean, obviously, we understand that douglas was staying with hope while you were working on yourself. But mom is right. You’ve made some huge strides. No one can question that, especially hope.

Thomas: I don’t think she is questioning that. I– I just think that she doesn’t want douglas to leave.

Steffy: You’re the biological parent, not hope. I know I’ve been very vocal about li being finn’s mother and not sheila, but that is something completely different. Sheila chose to give up her son. Caroline did not. She would never have walked away from douglas. She died. Okay. And hope wanted to fill that role? Fine. She’s the mother now. No one is saying she’s not gonna have time with douglas. But I think it’s clear you’re the one and only living parent, thomas. It’s time to acknowledge that. It’s time to stand up to hope. And to brooke. To all of the logans. They’re the ones who should be visiting douglas, not you. Douglas needs to come home to his family. That’s us. The forresters.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kevin: Oh, she plays that, too?

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

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

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

Kevin: A guild.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Billy: Yeah. Look at him.

Victoria: Yeah.

Billy: I’ll let you two get to it. Thank you again. Glad you’re okay.

Victoria: Thanks for stopping by.

Chelsea: Billy, hey, got a second?

Billy: Yeah. What’s going on?

Chelsea: I thought we could go over some podcast ideas.

Billy: Sure. I’m actually just going over notes for the next episode.

Chelsea: Oh, I thought you were doing some corporate stuff. You look all business-y and official sitting behind the ceo desk.

Billy: It’s funny you should say that. Lily is actually still in los angeles, so I’m using her desk. But you did pick up on it because I am feeling like a little bit of a suit back here.

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

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

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

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

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] Um… so when are we going to get the boys together for the playdate?

Billy: Yeah. Yeah, it’s just not a good time right now. Both of our kids just got back from camp, as well.

Chelsea: When would it be a good time?

Billy: I will talk to johnny’s his mother and check in with her and see what she thinks.

Chelsea: Okay. When can you ask her?

Billy: Well, she’s got a lot going on right now. When she has the bandwidth to have this conversation, I’ll have it with her.

Chelsea: Billy, it’s a play date. It’s going to take you two seconds to ask her.

Billy: Chelsea, it’s a little more complicated than that.

Chelsea: Why? The boys know each other.

Billy: Yeah, and they haven’t hung out together for a while.

Chelsea: So what? They get along great.

Billy: Okay, I don’t know if I’m missing something here, but it feels like you’re being a little pushy, and I’m not sure why the urgency.

Chelsea: Billy, you are never going to change your stance towards me when it comes to johnny, are you?

Elena: I just think it’s weird it’s taking so long.

Nate: To get the check?

[ Chuckles ] Just finish your quiche. Give them a minute.

Elena: I’m not talking about the check. I’m still talking about my contract at newman.

Nate: I know you’re frustrated about that, but that takes time, too. Imani’s working on it.

Elena: I’m not frustrated. I’m just saying it’s taking forever.

Nate: You know what? I bet we can take care of that right now. Sally, excuse me, do you have a minute?

Sally: Yep. Doctor. Doctor turned coo. What’s going on?

Elena: Well, I mean, there’s something we’d like to discuss with you.

Sally: Sounds serious. What’s up?

Nate: We’d like to negotiate elena’s departure from askmdnow. I’m sorry it’s taken so long to reschedule the meeting, but the heads of our legal team at chancellor-winters have been dealing with a family emergency.

Sally: Really sorry to hear that, but I’m just a little bit confused. You said reschedule, only I don’t remember a meeting being set.

Nate: The dinner imani arranged to sit down and settle this matter.

Elena: Yeah, nate was told you had to postpone.

Sally: Doesn’t ring a bell.

Nate: It was going to be you, imani, and me, but you had something come up at the last minute.

Sally: No, I don’t remember that.

Nate: Hm.

Summer: Why are you being so mysterious?

Kyle: I’m not. I’m an open book.

Summer: Mm, no. You’re hinting at something, and you’re deliberately not telling me what it is. You’re like one of those diaries I had when I was a kid with little lock on it.

Kyle: And we all know how impenetrable those locks are, so you’re never getting the info you want out of me.

Summer: Just tell me. I’m sure it has something to do with my mom and diane both working at marchetti. What happened? Did they get into a brawl before my mom’s even had her first day at the office?

Kyle: Not that I know of, but I have a great idea for marchetti.

Summer: I like the sound of that.

Kyle: Best of all, it has nothing to do with our mothers’ feud, and it can actually help people I care about.

Mariah: Alright, honey. Tea with lemon. Not too hot. You know, there’s an infinite number of things that I don’t understand about this universe, but I know how to prepare your tea. I’ve got that down cold.

[ Chuckles ] You know, it’s a beautiful day. You know, maybe we could make some sandwiches, do a picnic by the lake.

Voice app: You are being so sweet. Thanks. But I don’t want you to ignoble.

Mariah: Ignoble? I don’t know what that means.

Voice app: Ignore.

Mariah: Right, but what does ignoble mean?

Voice app: Ignore.

Mariah: I understand. What am I not supposed to ignore? “Go to work.” Well, I’ve got everything taken care of a jabot, you know, and right here is where I need to be. If I go to work, who’s going to entertain you, spend time with you, make your tea? There are times, I wonder…

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Mariah: All caps. It’s practically like you’re shouting.

[ Chuckles ] So you’re sure everything’s fine? Okay? It’s perfect? Nothing could be better? Okay, sure. I believe that. You know, canceling all those concerts wasn’t frustrating at all. You know, not being able to sing the songs to your adoring fans. And the best part is you get to listen to me all day and never be able to respond.

Voice app: This is my dream. Having you dote on me is all I ever wanted.

Mariah: A dream? That’s what this is?

[ Sighs ] Babe, the connection we have, it’s no joke. You know, it’s like a sixth sense. A seventh sense. [ Chuckles ] We can practically feel what the other is going through, right? Like, for example, when I was abducted by that maniac stitch and he locked me in that little room when I was pregnant, you could tell that I was scared and in danger, right? So it’s pretty pointless trying to keep things from me because everything that you’re going through, I feel it, you know, like it’s happening to me. And speaking from experience, keeping things in, that’s not the way to go. It just grows, and it gives it power. Don’t do that. Whatever you’re feeling, I want to help you carry it.

Kyle: So, I was talking to mariah about tessa’s predicament.

Summer: Yeah, she can’t speak or sing since the surgery.

Kyle: She’s going to need extensive voice therapy to recover, so her career is on hold for the foreseeable future.

Summer: She must be so scared.

Kyle: Well, I’m sure she is, but it’s tessa, so she’ll tough it out and never let us know how frightened she is.

Summer: That’s how I would be, too.

Kyle: [ Chuckling ] No, you wouldn’T. Like, I love you, but you’re not the tough, stoic type.

Summer: I’m going to prove you wrong about that someday. What was this great idea?

Kyle: Mariah was looking for something else for tessa to focus on. She pitched an idea that would direct tessa’s energy into something productive and give marchetti a new face for the new line.

Summer: You’re talking about hiring tessa as a model.

Kyle: For the print campaign. Her fan base is growing. It’s the exact demographic we’re looking for. Tessa has the look I think we want, and best of all, she loves our product.

Summer: Hm. I mean, I love that photo of her on her new album. I mean, it’s stunning.

Kyle: The camera loves her.

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

Kyle: She will be on her best behavior.

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

Kyle: Hey, mariah is genuinely happy for us and you’re happy for her and tessa.

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

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

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

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

Billy: No, I am not trying to prevent you from seeing johnny. It is a tricky time.

Chelsea: Right. Back from camp, you said.

Billy: Well, it’s not only that. My kids had a relationship with ashland locke. And now they are dealing with his death.

Chelsea: All the more reason johnny should go out and kick a soccer ball around with connor for a few minutes.

Billy: It’s not the right time. Can we please move on from this?

Chelsea: No, actually. No. You know, a few weeks ago, I would have accepted your response. I wanted to make everybody else happy, not create any waves. I was just feeling grateful that people were putting up with me. But now it’s about what’s best for me. Now it’s about what I want.

Billy: Wait a second now, okay, ’cause I am on your side. I mean, I brought you in on this podcast to be a partner.

Chelsea: I know, because you knew I could make it better.

Billy: Well, that is true, and it’s working because we are open and honest with each other. We are in sync in that way.

Chelsea: Well, except when it comes to johnny.

Billy: See, I disagree. I think we’re in sync there, too, because victoria and I have raised johnny exactly the way that you wanted him to be raised.

Chelsea: Billy, he is my biological son, and I don’t even get to see him or spend any time with him.

Billy: That was your choice, chelsea. This agreement that we have has worked for many, many years up until very recently. So you tell me, is something else going on? This isn’t charmin! No wonder I don’t feel as clean.

Sally: No, nothing. I didn’t have a business dinner scheduled all week. And you said imani arranged it for the three of us?

Nate: That’s right.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I mean, it was a hectic time at newman. Victoria had just come back, adam left newman media, but if it was in the books, it would’ve been here.

Nate: Okay, well, I guess there was some conflict with scheduling. Regardless, we’re here now, and we’d like to talk about the issue at hand.

Elena: But, first, we’d like to congratulate you on officially taking over at newman media.

Sally: Thank you, elena.

Elena: Yeah, I mean, it’s a huge job, but I’m sure you’ll crush it.

Nate: Yeah, I know something about taking a hard left in your career path. It’s tough but rewarding.

Sally: Yes, it is.

Nate: Well, elena would also like to make a move in her career. She wants to join us over at chancellor-winters, but to do that, she needs to be released from her current contract with newman media.

Sally: I see.

Elena: And I really appreciate and I’m grateful for my time at newman media. It was a really great experience.

Sally: And it shows. I mean, I think that’s why you’re such a great host at askmdnow. The audience can tell that you love what you’re doing. Visits to the site are up almost 20%. Average visit duration is up, bounce rate is down. Those are trends that advertisers pay for. So I can see why chancellor-winters would want to poach you.

Nate: It’s not a poaching situation.

Sally: Isn’t it? ‘Cause you’re trying to lure talent we have signed under contract. I’m not sure why I would let that happen.

Chelsea: What’s changed? A lot. Since I recovered from what my mother likes to refer to as “a huge emotional breakdown,” I have a different outlook on life. I’m a work in progress.

Billy: Welcome to the club.

Chelsea: I’ve always been an outsider here. Everyone’s always looked at me and viewed me with suspicion. And I can’t say I blame them because of my past and my history and the way I showed up to town. To be honest with you, it didn’t used to even bother me. I reveled in it.

Billy: You don’t feel the same anymore?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] When I hit rock bottom poisoning rey, I lost myself. I really did. I lost any sense of self-worth. I mean, even when I came home, I practically begged adam to take me back. What was I thinking?

Billy: Well, right now, I’m thinking that you’re glad that he didn’t take you up on the offer and that he is not in your life.

Chelsea: Listen, it’s hard to get some people out of our system, kind of like you and victoria.

[ Sighs ] The truth is, when I was in that really dark place, rey was the only one who reached out to me. He was so kind. When he died, I just felt like the rug got ripped out from under me. So I held on to things that made me feel safe and comfortable, you know, like my partnership with chloe and my design work.

Billy: Yeah, even I could see you were struggling.

Chelsea: I don’t think people realize what a big step it was for me to walk away from design, fashion. It’s all I knew I was good at. It was a huge part of my identity, but it didn’t make me happy. I had conditioned myself to believe that that’s as good as it’s going to get, but that something amazing happened. I realized I deserve more. I deserve to be happy.

Billy: Of course you do.

Chelsea: Working with you has been a big part of that epiphany. I realize I have a different skill set. Not just design, not just, you know, running cons.

Billy: Yeah, I think we’re all glad that you’re not in that line of work anymore.

Chelsea: Stepping into a new field where I had zero experience, zero training, and miraculously not sucking at it was a huge confidence booster. You know, I’d been so isolated for so long, and suddenly there are these people on the internet commenting that they are connecting with what I had to say.

Billy: No, I know the feeling. It’s kind of interesting. You think all those weird, quirky things that make you unlikable are actually things that make you relatable.

Chelsea: Yeah. So it’s made me realize I want to be open to letting other people into my life. And I think johnny’s a big part of that.

Billy: I’m not sure why you think that way.

Chelsea: Johnny already knows that victoria is not his biological mother. Would it really be so terrible if he learned that I am?

Billy: [ Clears throat ] We have an agreement, chelsea.

Chelsea: I know, billy. I know we have an agreement, but that was a long time ago. And I was in an entirely different place. I was a different person. You and victoria have given him everything. You’ve done an incredible job, but I’m not the same person i was when I signed that agreement years ago.

Billy: I understand that, but that does not negate the agreement that we signed.

Chelsea: Don’t you agree with me that kids deserve to know the true information about their birth? No secrets, no shame. You can’t deny johnny and connor are connected. Don’t they deserve to get to know each other? To have a bond? It would mean so much to them as they grow up.

Billy: I promise you, I will have the conversation with victoria.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Thank you.

Billy: I will let you know how it goes.

Chelsea: Wow, okay. Well, thank you. Now that that conversation is behind us, I guess we can focus on podcast ideas.

Billy: Yes, I would like to do that.

Chelsea: But?

Billy: But right now I’ve got an empty stomach, and I do not like to work on an empty stomach. So can we please get out of here? Lunch is on me.

Voice app: You’re right. It’s making me crazy. I can’t do what I love.

Mariah: And you’re positive that a picnic by the lake wouldn’t help? What if we brought pie? I’m sorry. Okay, I’m trying. I really am. But sometimes I feel like, I don’t know, I’m making it worse or I’m getting in the way.

Voice app: You are not the problem. You are wonderful.

Mariah: Oh, I know.

[ Chuckles ] But it’s very strange hearing that from a robotic voice. Nice, though. Very, very nice to hear it out loud. You know what we should do? I think that we should find something different for you to do during this time. You know, channel all of that creative energy into something, right?

Kyle: Hey, you two.

Mariah: Hey.

Kyle: Just who we were looking for.

Mariah: Oh, well, if you’re wondering why I’m not at jabot, it’s a funny story.

Summer: Save it. We actually don’t care why you’re not at jabot. And when he said you’re just who we’re looking for, he wasn’t talking about you.

Kyle: We want to talk to tessa.

I’m a ganiac, ganiac,

check my drawers.

Sally: The hard work that elena is putting into the site is just now starting to pay off.

Elena: Yes, but I think there are plenty of other doctors who would do just as good of a job as I have, and it would be easier for them because they’ve already built the foundation.

Sally: But we don’t have a list of replacements.

Elena: Actually, you do. I’ve compiled a list of 12 names of doctors who I think could start right away.

Sally: Is there a reason that you want to leave? Are you unhappy with us?

Elena: No, not at all. Like I said before, I really enjoyed my time at newman media.

Nate: But as the guy who was the original face of askmdnow, I was impressed with how elena stepped into that format seamlessly. She built on what we had created, and I am confident that any of the people on her list can do the same. The audience will continue to follow.

Sally: But we don’t know that for sure. Audiences don’t like change. Even when you left, nate, there was a drop-off. And when you’re on that screen, elena, you are not just a doctor. You’re talent. You have an intangible quality that not everyone has.

Nate: Well, I just made it tangible. I’ve written down a figure. It’s a financial incentive to release elena from her contract.

Sally: I will be sad to see you go, but best of luck.

Elena: Really? That’s — that’s it?

Sally: Yeah, I will have the papers drawn up today.

Nate: We already have the agreement written up. We can fill in the numbers and send it over to you.

Sally: Even better.

Elena: Thank you so much, sally.

Nate: It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Sally: You, too. And I really hope this move works out for you, elena. You’re a real talent.

Nate: We’ll be in touch soon.

Elena: Thanks.

Kyle: Tessa, we were wondering if you’re up for a new challenge.

Mariah: Oh, my gosh. We were just talking about that. You know, something to pour her incredible energy into, like baking or sculpting, juggling.

Summer: Or maybe something completely different.

Kyle: Would you be interested in being the new face for marchetti?

Mariah: What? That’s amazing.

Kyle: Yeah, we came up with the idea while we were brainstorming our new print campaign. You know, who would we want to represent the company now it’s a part of jabot?

Summer: And you’ve got a fresh look — elegant, sophisticated, fun. I mean, that is our brand.

Mariah: I agree. She would be perfect.

Kyle: And we loved the photo on your album and said that’s the exact look we’re going for, and we were like, “we should get someone like tessa.”

Summer: Then we were like, “why don’t we just get the original, tessa herself?”

Mariah: I am stunned. I can’t believe this. What do you think, babe?

Voice app: I’m speechless.

[ Laughter ]

Mariah: Okay, I see what you did there.

Voice app: I’m really flattered, but it’s a reminder of what I might be losing.

Nate: I thought you’d be more excited about being released from your contract.

Elena: I’m happy.

Nate: Are you sure?

Elena: I mean, I’m not dancing in the streets, but, yeah, I’m pleased.

Nate: Good, because we did it. We got what we wanted. And I did not think sally was going to let you go, but she saw all those zeroes in my offer and waved goodbye.

Elena: Yeah, good job. You read the situation perfectly. At least with sally.

Nate: What do you mean? What did I miss?

Elena: I think it’s crazy that I even have to explain this to you. You remember all the confusion about the first meeting that imani set up between you, her, and sally?

Nate: What are you getting at?

Elena: The reason sally couldn’t remember canceling the meeting is because she was never invited in the first place. So that dinner between the three of you was really supposed to be an intimate night with just you and imani. She set it all up. I’m steve.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Need a cleanser that does more?

Billy: You good with couch?

Chelsea: Yeah, yeah. Just give me one second.

Billy: Alright.

Chelsea: Sally, hi.

Sally: Chelsea.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] How are you? I’ve been worried. I’m sure it’s sinking in the way adam just dumped you like that, you poor thing.

Sally: I don’t want or need your sympathy.

Chelsea: You know, I really admire the way you’ve been handling this breakup. You’re so brave. Sitting here in public, probably wondering if everybody’s out there whispering about you.

Sally: Did you handle it well whenever adam broke up with you?

Chelsea: You seem a lot better than the last time I saw you, and you went chasing after adam. Eugh, not particularly dignified. I felt so bad for you.

Sally: Well, if anyone can empathize with adam breaking up with me, it’s you. How many times did it take for you to realize that he wasn’t the one? Five, six? It’s such a shame ’cause you guys have a kid, and you still couldn’t make it work.

Chelsea: Well, if you’ll excuse me, someone’s waiting for me. Have a great day.

Billy: Hey. Is everything okay?

Chelsea: Everything’s perfect.

Mariah: Tessa, you would not be losing anything. You know, losing your ability to sing, that’s temporary. Frustrating as hell but temporary. You’ll come back.

Kyle: You will.

Summer: Better than ever.

Mariah: And in the meantime, seems like kyle and summer want you to be a part of their new adventure. You love marchetti. You would be draped in their clothing. So glamorous. You’d be the face that launched 1,000 pair of high-end shoes.

[ Chuckles ]

Kyle: Better be a whole lot more than that.

Summer: Tessa, this might be a perfect time for you to try branching out while you recuperate. You wouldn’t have to use your voice at all, and you could really focus on healing.

Mariah: Yeah, and your face plastered all over billboards, magazines — that’s good for the tessa porter brand. You would expand your fan base for when you get back to performing.

Kyle: And when things are back to normal, you can have your music career and continue to model for us.

Mariah: Best of both worlds.

Nate: I can’t believe your mind went there. What?

Elena: Tell me, did you speak to sally or her assistant before the meeting?

Nate: No.

Elena: Exactly. Imani arranged the whole thing. She told you that everything was set, and then she told you that it got canceled last second. And you bought it.

Nate: I had no reason not to. Meetings get canceled or postponed all the time. Things come up. It happens. Look, just because imani’s involved doesn’t mean there’s some secret plot. Come on, elena. You really have it in for her, and it is clouding your mind.

Elena: No, nate. I have a very clear picture of the situation.

Nate: I cannot believe we’re having this conversation.

Elena: Neither can I. And I can’t help but wonder if the reason you’re not seeing what she’s up to is because you don’t want to. Girls trip.

Chelsea: I love the personal episodes, but I think it would be really fun if we dug our teeth into something meatier.

Billy: What do you mean by that?

Chelsea: Like true crime. You know, we found an unsolved mystery and just started digging?

Billy: Yeah, no, I like that. You got anything in mind?

Chelsea: No, not yet. But I can do some research. You know, you can find something that affects an entire town, a whole family.

Billy: Mm-hmm. That’s good, right? Find the skeletons in the closet.

Chelsea: Skeletons are always good.

Billy: Always good.

Chelsea: Look how “the grinning soul” hit a gold mine when he started discovering ashland locke’s secrets.

Billy: Yeah, no, absolutely. I mean, he found the right target. Ashland locke is the gift that keeps on giving. I got to hand it to the guy. I really respect him, and I really like that podcast.

Chelsea: Yeah, I’m sure “the grinning soul” respects you, too.

Billy: I hope so. I have to say one thing, though. He’s definitely impressed that I brought you on board.

Chelsea: Ah, well, I have another idea. You know, we can find somebody that got a terrible rumor spread about them online, the damaged it caused, how they survived.

Billy: Understand why they started it and who started it. That’s good, too.

Chelsea: Exactly. Exactly. You know, I keep thinking about the scams anita and I pulled. There’s a lot of material there. Maybe an entire series.

[ Both chuckle ]

Billy: Scamming, scheming.

Chelsea: Mm-hmm.

Billy: All that. I think our audience is going to eat that up.

Chelsea: Yeah.

Billy: And, of course, coming from us, there’s a lot of backstory there. A lot to unpack, isn’t there?

Chelsea: Mm. You know, you have an entirely different energy when you talk about this stuff. It looks good on you.

Billy: Well, thank you. I appreciate that. To be honest, I love it. I love sitting here finding a topic and riffing off it and, you know, observing people and the planet and seeing how it all mix together. And right now, it’s very nice to be out of the corporate arena.

Chelsea: Why do you keep going back to the corporate world, then?

Nate: I’m not trying to avoid seeing anything.

Elena: That’s disingenuous. You’re acting like I’m out of line for even suggesting that imani is capable of engineering a dinner between the two of you.

Nate: Are you accusing me of being attracted to her?

Elena: No, I’m not saying that it’s sexual. But the way that she’s always fawning over you, that’s got to be a pretty big ego boost. Not to mention, you just told me that she’s been fueling all your frustrations with your situation with devon. Maybe she’s even pushing you to be a little more aggressive?

Nate: I don’t need my ego boosted. And as for imani, she’s noticed there is a family dynamic at play, that devon sometimes tries to hold me back. The same thing happens between her and amanda, and it is refreshing to have someone to talk to while I’m at work who supports me.

Elena: Oh, as opposed to your girlfriend who couldn’t comprehend? What, because I’m not an executive?

Nate: I didn’t say that. You have been incredibly supportive. This has been a big change from medicine to the corporate world, and you have been there for me every step of the way.

Elena: And yet you still don’t think I really understand what’s going on — at least, not in the way that imani does.

[ Scoffs ]

Voice app: Thank you for this life-changing offer. Sorry for my pity party.

Mariah: Hey, you have nothing to apologize for.

Kyle: Absolutely. We know you’re dealing with a lot.

Summer: We don’t want to pressure you. We’re just excited about the possibility. Don’t let our enthusiasm scare you off.

Voice app: Exciting opportunity. Might be perfect, especially now.

Mariah: Yeah. And you get to do something fun while you heal.

Kyle: I think it’d be perfect for you.

Summer: Definitely.

Mariah: So we all think that you would be an amazing model.

Summer: Look at that, mariah and i agreeing on something.

[ Both chuckle ]

Kyle: Well, let us know what you decide.

Summer: Alright, reach out if you have any questions.

Kyle: Keep us updated.

Mariah: Bye, guys. How about that? That is so exciting. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this.

Voice app: Stop pretending. This was all you, wasn’t it? Your heart is at the heart of everything you do.

Voice app: I saw you and kyle conspiring yesterday. It was your idea, wasn’t it?

Mariah: No. No, this was — this was all kyle. I mean, you saw how excited he was. Okay. Okay. I know. We can’t lie to each other. It’s not good. So… maybe this was my idea. Okay? You know, maybe I thought I found the perfect thing for you to do while you recuperate. And maybe, selfishly, I want to see my beautiful wife’s face on billboards and in magazines. Is that really so bad?

Voice app: I should be mad, but I’m too much in love.

Mariah: [ Breathes deeply ]

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Chelsea: I’ve known you a long time, billy, and I have seen this scenario play out time and time again with your family. You think you need to live up to expectations. You think you need to act a certain way, and then you do for a while until you can’t take it anymore and then the real billy comes out.

Billy: I haven’t exactly been a model abbott.

Chelsea: Well, maybe not, but you do look really good in a suit.

Billy: Thank you. Appreciate that.

Chelsea: The problem with these expectations is you don’t fit into a little abbott box, and then you rebel.

Billy: Let me ask you a question. How much is your hourly rate for this kind of analysis?

Chelsea: Just a little friendly observation.

Billy: Is that right? Just a friendly observation? Okay, well, look, I am in a really good place right now. I know that you have seen me fall back into that cycle in the past, but I believe that I am past the need to rebel.

Chelsea: Really? So you feel fulfilled being a part of chancellor-winters?

Billy: Well, yeah, I mean, I, uh… it’s a little difficult to answer that honestly.

Chelsea: That means the answer is no.

Nate: You want me to be honest?

Elena: Always.

Nate: I honestly feel like you take devon’s side whenever we talk about those dynamics.

Elena: [ Scoffs ]

Nate: “He has more business experience.”

Elena: That is the truth. Why would that offend you?

Nate: It feels dismissive.

Elena: It takes experience to make the right decision. Just like you can’t walk into an operating room and get it right the first time out. Why would it be any different with business?

Nate: I have a business education. I have run an entire hospital department. I know how to navigate those complicated relationships — when to compromise, when to stay strong.

Nate: So then what you’re actually saying is that I’m just not supporting you enough. Or not in the way that imani is. Look, I don’t know what this girl’s motives are, but she is trying to be your champion.

Nate: You’re blowing this all out of proportion.

Elena: No, I am not. I think you are consciously or unconsciously refusing to see what is right in front of your face. And I respect you so much that I am trying to tell you the truth, but you keep pushing me back. I think you just like the story that imani is telling better, the one where you’re misunderstood and underappreciated. She is telling you everything you want to hear. A beautiful woman stroking your ego. And what could be more enticing than that?

Next week on “the young and the restless.”

Kevin: I’ve got something new to show you. It’s a game changer.

Devon: Yes, my rules. Who else, nate? Who do you work for? You’re my coo. How do you not understand that?

Nate: Getting all worked up. What are you going to do, punch me again?

Nikki: I told her about diane’s resurrection.

Talia: And I became very interested. I sensed that would be a fabulous story for my magazine.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Either the jury’s back or it isn’T. And what makes diane so sure they’ll come back with a verdict so soon? Because apparently diane has a contact at the courthouse and the jury has decided to work through lunch and declined to order dinner. That’s why. Okay. Okay. They’ll be back. You know, I was gonna suggest that we sleep on this, but — n– there’s no time to wait. If I want to save trina from going to prison, I have to wake oz up now. Now — oh. We’re in this together, remember? No. No, no, no. Things have changed. W-we don’t have time to run a diversion here. Oz haggerty is the only one who can clear my daughter’s name and keep her out of prison. He has to tell the court that he was the one who sold the black-market phone to esme prince and not trina. And a-all I have to do is I have to walk into that room with confidence and inject haggerty with the reversal agents. What if something goes wrong? I know there is a risk of him waking up too fast, too soon. But it’s my only option, a-and I have to go through with this. Honey, I’m not talking about the risk to oz haggerty. I’m talking about the risk to the woman I love. You know, next time, maybe you’ll think before you sucker-punch somebody. And don’t pick a lawyer like scott baldwin who likes to sue people, you know? Yeah, well, only thing I regret is that I didn’t land more than one punch. So what do you say — ditch these cuffs, do your old buddy a favor, and let me go free? Damn it, i am doing you a favor by talking to you like this, because next time it could be through the bars of a cell! Scott: Ow. Britt: Okay. I have to do this, scott. I need to see if it’s broken. Okay. Ow again. Okay. It’s not broken. And you’re lucky it’s not. Yeah, but I didn’t deserve to get sucker-punched by your boyfriend. Okay. [ Scoffs ] Cody bell is not my boyfriend. And from what I heard, he had a score to settle with you. I’ve never seen that guy before in my life. Until he punched me. And this whole dominique — this cockamamie story — if — if dominique had another kid out there before serena, she would have told me about him. Are you sure? Yeah, I’m sure. Because we shared everything. Perhaps you didn’t know her as well as you thought. No need to stick around, commish. I got it from here. And I want to believe that. Officer cabrera. But you haven’t answered my question. Can you put your badge above your feelings for trina robinson? It’s because I care about trina that you can trust me. Tj, please tell me that that bartender is coming out of his coma. My attorney thinks that the jury is coming close to reaching a verdict. Oz haggerty is the only one who can prove my innocence. Haggerty’s medical team is bringing him out of his medically induced coma, but unfortunately it’s a painstaking and gradual process. He still has a long way to go before he regains consciousness. Which means the jury is going to reach their verdict without knowing that esme was the one who bought the black-market cellphone. I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news. The closer I get to the verdict, the harder it is to stay optimistic. The only thing that matters is that haggerty wakes up in time to tell the truth — before that jury comes back with a verdict. Is it vitally important that oz wakes up? Hell yeah. But, honey, it’s not the only thing that matters. Even if you talk your way into that room, you won’t make it out if your attempts to wake him up go sideways. Well, I already told you that I’m willing to take that risk. Give yourself a cover. Be smart about it. Don’t go charging in there asking to incriminate yourself. If anyone goes to prison, it’s better me than my daughter. No. Look. Portia. I won’t trade trina’s freedom for yours.

We’ve always been honest with each other, right? Yeah, more or less. Okay. So why don’t you be honest with me right now and tell me — how long have you been hunting down scott baldwin? Is that the real reason why you stuck around town? Dante, I swear I didn’t come to port charles for anything other than a paycheck. I mean, the surprise bonus was reuniting with you. Oh, come on. Cody, you had to know you’d run into baldwin at some point in time, right? If I was sticking around town to have it out with baldwin, don’t you think I would have made it happen sooner? I didn’t even know who scott baldwin was a few months ago. And believe me, when I found out who he was and what he did to me…

[ Scoffs ] …I didn’t want to have anything to do with that piece of trash. Today when he was standing right in front of me, that smug grin on his face, I just… ohh. I just kept thinking about everything that I’d heard and how he’d taken everything that was rightfully mine, and I just got so mad, I — I’m sorry, man. I couldn’t stop myself. Okay. Back — how did you get to this point in your life and not be aware that scott baldwin stole something from you? I didn’t know about baldwin because I didn’t even know that dominique stanton was my mom. Okay. How did you find that out? I heard it from a dead woman. Dominique and I, we had no secrets. I mean, if she had a — a son out there, I would have found him and I would have had him live with us. I would never have turned my back on him. I know you want to believe in dominique, but if you shared everything, why would she go to her grave without telling you about cody? What would have motivated her to stay silent? Come on, mother. People stay silent for lots of reasons. Sometimes it’s because they don’t trust people. Or sometimes they’re so afraid of something they’ve kept inside, they just can’t face it. And sometimes we’re brave and we don’t even know it. Maybe it wasn’t so much that dominique was keeping a secret from you. What if she was trying to protect you? Maybe she was trying to protect her son. I care about trina, too, but as you were taught at the academy, the badge comes first. I know I’m just a rookie, but does it have to be either/or? Can’t a police officer be true to the badge and still have compassion? Yeah, I want trina to be found “not guilty,” and the best way for that to happen is for the man inside this room to wake up and testify that esme prince bought that black-market cellphone, that trina wasn’t involved. The problem is miss prince is no longer living at wyndemere and we’re having trouble finding her. And I want to help with that, too. But, first, you can trust me to make sure that no one, not esme prince or anyone else not on the list, will enter this room and interfere with the recovery of oz haggerty. I’m usually a glass half-full kind of person… but I’m not sure if the truth is gonna come out in time to vindicate me. And if diane’s right, time’s almost up. I need you… I need you to keep reminding yourself how many people are on your side… that your mom and curtis, they are doing everything they can. Joss and cam, the victims, they both testified on your behalf. That’s got to mean something to the jury. Yeah, but joss and cam don’t have any hard proof that I’m innocent. The only person that can exonerate me is that bartender, oz. Look. I know that he’s not in a natural coma. He’s medically induced. Can’t we take him out of it faster? Curtis: Tj brought it to my attention that we could wake oz up. Tj: We could speed up the process by giving him a large dose of flumazenil and naloxone to quickly reverse the effects of the drugs he’s on. Once he wakes up, we can get him to give us the evidence we need to exonerate trina. That man was put into a coma for a reason. To forcibly wake him up would be completely denying his medical needs. No! No. No. That’s the very definition of “unethical.” Even if there were such a way… wait. If it was impossible, you would have said so, but you didn’T. You just talked around and made it a hypothetical. Does that mean you can force oz to wake up? Portia: Where was all this concern when tj was the one who was gonna revive oz? I mean, he was willing to risk his entire career, his freedom to inject the reversal agents. We were desperate. And besides, tj stood a better chance of getting in and out of oz’s room without causing suspicion. I can’t say the same about you, considering you’re trina’s mother. So what are you telling me? Are you telling me that I should give up? That I should trust 12 strangers in that jury room? Is that what you’re telling me? Hell no, I’m not saying that. But I’m saying we’re a team, okay? We — we should share the same risks and the same consequences. Which means we should stick to the original plan. While I distract officer cabrera, you slip into oz’s room and give him that injection. And if it fails… all three of us end up in pentonville? At least we’ll be together.

[ Exhales sharply ] What do you say? I say let’s do it.

Don’t you get it, dante? My whole life could have been different. I grew up in the shadow of serenity. It was originally owned by the stanton family. The bells, who I thought were my real parents, they lived in the caretaker’s cottage. It’s where I learned how to ride horses. It’s also where I learned that I’d never amount to more in life than being a cook’s son. And a love of horses, that came naturally to me. The other lesson never stuck. I grew up hearing all these stories about this house on the hill where the beautiful dominique and her shady husband, leopold taub, once lived. Okay, it’s an interesting story, but how does scott baldwin fit in? Dominique’s marriage to leopold taub was not a love match. He was a social climber. The stantons represented everything he wasn’T. Leopold taub? Why does that name sound familiar? Leopold taub and cesar had certain…dealings. Cody’s father and my father? The bells knew that leopold was a bad man, ’cause he was cruel to the horses. Apparently, he was even crueler to his wife. It was sad, but it was just a story. Until… until what? A few months ago, I got that call that you never want to get. My mom, um — the woman I thought was my mom, uh, was dying. And, uh, so I had to drop everything and head home to say goodbye. I’m sorry. Yeah, thanks.

[ Sighs ] I was bouncing from job to job, so it was easy to drop everything. But, um… yeah, I came home to that sad little caretaker cottage, and I was right beside her when she took her last breath. Again, I’m sorry. Uh… but at least you got to say goodbye. Yeah. Before I did, um… she — she took my hand and she — she told me that… she couldn’t die before she told me the truth. She didn’t give birth to me. My birth mother was the beautiful and very wealthy dominique stanton. Jordan: There’s no sign of him awakening, is there? Rory: Not since I’ve been here, no. Part of me wants to walk in there and grab him by the shoulders and tell him to snap out of it! Trina matters to you, too, right? Trina matters to a whole lot of people in this town. We know who she is and who she isn’T. But the evidence…. esme prince manufactured the evidence to point to trina. Unfortunately, we can’t prove that. No. But he can. If anything happens, you’ll be the first to know. Thanks, rory.

[ Monitor beeping ] If there’s a way to speed up the process and bring oz out of his coma, why haven’t they tried it? Because it can backfire and make the coma permanent or — or worse. You mean it might kill him. There’s always that chance. Even if the injection of reversal agents were to work, there’s no way to guarantee oz would wake up with his faculties and memories intact. Okay. So no injection. The doctors stick to whatever protocol they’re using now. How long will it take for oz to wake up? Could be days. Or weeks. I don’t have that long. I know. But as doctors, we took an oath to do no harm. I was so determined to help you that for a moment I almost forgot that oath.

Trina. Honey, what are you doing here? Let me guess. Diane got ahold of you. She messaged me that the jury’s come close to reaching a verdict. Guess that means I might not be coming home for dinner tonight. Honey. Oh, honey. Mm. I’ll let you have some family time alone. Mm-hmm. You know what? You shouldn’t be here. You should go home. You know? Spend some time with your friends. It’s not their fault. But they’re trying to cheer me up, and I don’t feel like pretending it’s all gonna be okay. Honey, you have to have faith. Believe it or not… miracles, they still do happen. Well, you don’t have to pretend with me, either. Tj told me that you stopped him from taking extreme measures to wake up oz. Don’t get me wrong. I understand. You didn’t want tj risking a patient’s life or his career by doing something unethical. And I’m glad that you stepped up and you told him to do the right thing. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you. There’s absolutely nothing. Ladies, I hate to break up this moment… but, portia, didn’t you have that…patient that you were worried about? Why don’t I stay here with trina and you go do what you got to do? Are you sure? Um… yeah. No, no. Go. We’ll be right here. You take care of yourself. Okay. That deathbed confession threw my world upside down, man. I mean… even my last name wasn’t right. I wasn’t a bell. I was a wealthy stanton who was supposed to grow up in that house on that hill. Hey, you know what, man? I think I can kind of relate.

[ Chuckles ] When I got to port charles, I didn’t know sonny was my father. I was undercover in his operation, trying to take him down from the inside. And I found out he was my dad after he shot me. O-kay. You got me. Your story beats mine. No, no, I’m not trying to one-up you, man. I’m just saying I can relate — you know, to find out, as an adult, you’re not who you thought you were. I mean, that messes with your head. I never knew if dominique thought about me or wanted to provide for me. After she died, you know, serenity was sold off, and the proceeds went to the love of her life — the father of her daughter, serena. Enter scott baldwin. Yeah. You want to ask me again why i punched that smug son of a gun? He stole everything that I didn’t even know I had. And he swears he didn’t know about you? Yeah. But he also claims dominique was the love of his life. If they were so close, why didn’t she ever tell him about her firstborn child? So hold on. Are you — are you mad at scott baldwin or are you mad at your mother for what she did to you? You know, if — if dominique was trying to keep her son away from leopold, it makes sense why she would give him to the bells to raise. Kind of like maxie trusting brook lynn with bailey to keep her safe from peter. Mm, but the one big difference is maxie’s situation was temporary, where it sounds like dominique’s situation never ended. That would explain why cody never really knew who he was, why dominique kept silent to the end. It all fits together, doesn’t it? Unless the pieces fit a little too well. What are you driving at? Look. I haven’t known cody long. But from the first time I met him, he was — he was always working some angle. So what if that’s what this is and none of the story is true? Here you go. I’m not hungry. Humor me. Got to keep up your strength because you don’t want to lose hope. Remember what your mom said about miracles. I want to have faith. But at the same time… I don’t want to fool myself. Things aren’t going my way. And tj said that even if oz comes out of his coma, we don’t know if his memories will still be intact. He could have totally forgotten that he was selling that black-market phone to esme. And even if he does… it could take weeks or months. And by then, the jury will have already decided and I could be in pentonville. Trina, look. I can’t promise how this is all gonna turn out. But I can promise you that absolutely everyone that cares about you is doing everything they can to prove your innocence. What are you studying so intently? Hey. Um, oz haggerty’s chart. I’m looking for any glimmer of hope that — that his awakening is speeding up. Mm. I know how badly you want to help trina. So do I. But we can’t force things. I know, but — but that’s the thing, mom. Just like I told portia and curtis, there is a way to force oz to consciousness. Dr. Robinson, have you heard from trina? How is she? Well, she’s — she’s waiting, like the rest of us, for the patient in that room to wake up. And actually, t-that’s why I stopped by, because I think I was just gonna, you know, go and check on oz and — and see how he’s progressing myself. I’m sorry. I can’t let you in. Officer cabrera, I’m a doctor. Well, I know it’s unusual to stop a doctor from seeing a patient, but… unfortunately, your name is not on the approved list, and I can’t let you inside.

Very by the book, officer cabrera. You know, I’m not on the list because I’m not the attending on the case and I’m not a consultant on the case. Oh, did you think I wanted to go in there to actually

treat the patient? No. No, no, no, no, no. I-I just, uh — I just wanted to take a look at him with my own two eyes. Obviously, I have a vested interest in making sure that everything is done to restore mr. Haggerty to full consciousness. And you want the same thing. Don’t you? Of course. Which is why I’m grateful that commissioner ashford assigned me to this post. But I promise you that nobody will interfere with the recovery of haggerty. And hopefully, when he comes out of this coma, he can I.D. Esme as the one who bought the black-market phone. I think that will be enough to convince a jury that trina is not guilty. Yes, yes, of course, but by then, trina could be in pentonville for weeks, if not months. Rory, justice delayed is justice denied. Can’t you… I’m sorry. I-I don’t understand. Can’t I what? Dr. Robinson. Are you sure I can’t help you? Yes. Yes. Yeah, I’m sure. Cody: Yeah, maybe you’re right. I mean, maybe it is easier to blame baldwin instead of my mother. But put yourself in my shoes, man. Well, that’s what I’m trying to do, I mean, by telling you about sonny, discovering that he was my father. I mean, it’s not the same thing, but it still threw me for a loop, man. I mean, my whole career is crime-fighting, a-and sonny’s is the exact opposite. I’m telling you, I’m sympathetic to your situation. It’s just my whole life, you know, no matter how far I’ve traveled, no matter how hard I’ve tried to fit in, I’ve just — I’ve never felt like I belong. And now I find out that the home and the life that I was supposed to have has been sold off, and the proceeds go to scott baldwin and his daughter? Who my mother obviously loved more than me. Britta has a point. What if cody made up the whole story just to get money out of you? Well, there’s no money to get! Everything that dominique had, she left to serena, and serena spent all that money on saving the whales. If you want me to arrange a dna test to prove that cody is dominique’s son, I can — I can make that happen. No, that’s not necessary because… I saw in his eyes the same thing I see in serena’s eyes — dominique’s eyes. That’s all the proof you have? Well, it’s not just… the eyes. It’s the hunger that he has. A hunger for his lost money. Well, I’m not just talking about that. I’m talking about his hunger for his meaning to his life. I think you know what I’m talking about. I don’t know that I would have described it quite like that. But now that you have… yes, I have seen that, too. Then you know I’m right. Very well. So if cody really is who he claims to be, what are you supposed to do about it? Well, if you’re the liesl i think you are, I think you already know the answer. The question I have to ask myself is… what would dominique want me to do? I’ll see you guys.

[ Inhales sharply ] Hm.

[ Door closes ] What exactly did you tell portia and curtis? I got so laser-focused on trying to help trina that I considered using extreme measures to shock oz’s system, basically to try to force him out of his coma. But don’t worry. Portia wasn’t having any of it. She reminded me that — that I need to put the patient first… and that it’s just too risky of a procedure. Well, I’m relieved to hear that, no matter how much we’re rooting for trina. I know. The law is the law. But I just wish I felt as confident as you that justice will be done. Trina: I know what you’re thinking. You do? You’re worried that your phone’s gonna ring and it’s gonna be diane telling us that the jury’s reached a verdict.

[ Sighs ] I have the same feeling.

[ Footsteps approach ] Oh! Oh! Hello, you two. Portia, what is it? What happened to your patient? Well, unfortunately, my patient’s condition remains unchanged. You know, you are so lucky to have a friend like rory. He won’t let anyone or anything compromise the witness that can clear you. He’s not letting anybody in that room who isn’t on the approved list.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Line ringing ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] Officer cabrera, is everything okay? I thought you’d like to know something out of the ordinary happened. What’s that? Oz haggerty had a visit from a doctor not on the approved list. Which doctor? Trina’s mom — dr. Robinson.

Did dr. Robinson say why she was there? Uh, she just wanted to see if haggerty was any closer to waking up. Um, being trina’s mom, I could totally understand that, but she wasn’t on the approved list, and so I didn’t let her in. When I arrested spencer cassadine and cameron webber, you said that I was a bit overeager and needed to use better discretion, so I just wanted to check in and make sure that I did the right thing. Yes, calling me was the right thing to do, officer cabrera.

[ Sighs ] So what’s next? Uh, you’ll be taken to your cell. If you need a lawyer, I can give you a couple recommendations. But if money’s an issue, you’ll be assigned a public defender. Really? I pour my heart out about how my world’s been turned upside down, you can’t even show your old buddy a tiniest bit of compassion? What do you expect me to do for you, cody? You punched a guy in the face in a public setting in front of a bunch of witnesses, and now he’s pressing charges. There’s — there’s literally nothing i can do. Really pays to know people in high places, huh? Yeah, you know, it usually does in this town. Ah, great. How’s the nose, baldwin? I break it? Alright. Not a great idea to antagonize the guy who’s pressing charges against you. Uh, my nose is fine. I can smell a phony baloney a mile away. Oh, really? You spend my inheritance and you have the nerve to call me a phony baloney? Here. Take me away. Prison’s a step up from this guy. I can also smell the real mccoy. And I think you are. So I’m dropping the charges. Mom, are you planning to be in the courtroom when the jury reads their verdict? Sometimes being present in the courtroom goes with the job. But this is one time I’d give anything to not be there. Trina: Guess there’s no point waiting around here. Even if oz wakes up now, it’s probably too late to change anything. Portia: Honey, listen to me. It is never too late. Portia, I know what we both want. What if it’s just not possible? Nothing’s impossible. Isn’t that what you always tell me, honey? He’s so sweet.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Whispering ] I have to give it another try. I have to find a way in that room. Please. Just get trina out of here? Hm! Ugh! I keep getting all these texts. I didn’t hear your phone make a noise. Well, honey, I keep it on silent when I’m at the hospital. But my — my patient still needs me. And I’m gonna catch up with the two of you a little bit later, okay? Honey, I love you so much. Mm! Mom? Was that not weird to you? Um, you know, your mom’s got a lot on her mind right now, you know? She wants to be there for you, but she’s got to focus on her patients. I’m sure that’s all it is.

Let’s go. Curtis, wait. I still think that goodbye was strange. Maybe I should go talk to my mom before we go. Uh, well, trina, you heard what y-your mother said. She has to focus on her patients. And then tonight she gets to come home and worry about you. If the worst happens and I go to prison, you have to promise me that you’ll take care of her. Trina, first of all, I don’t want you thinking that way, okay? Whatever happens, of course, I’m gonna take care of your mother. She just, uh — she just wants a happy and fair ending to your trial. Just like all of us. Now let’s go. What if diane calls and I have to go to the courthouse and I won’t be able to see my mom until I’m behind bars? Trina. Look. I promise you that… as soon as I get a phone call from diane that says the verdict is in, I will get your mother to the courthouse so we both can be there to support you, okay? Okay. I just wish there was more we could do for trina and her family. If only haggerty would wake up and tell us what he knows. Why did you let scott leave without you? Aren’t you afraid he’s gonna do something foolish? I was tempted to stop scott. But the truth is… I am proud of him. Even if it means doing right by the former love of his life, dominique? Rned. But she died years ago. I’m not afraid of scott’s past. On the contrary, the fact that he was able e to love someone so — so strongly, so deeply… means he’s capable of loving me even more. That is either a terrific spin on the situation or you really do have faith in true love. And if that’s the case, I envy you. I never had that faith in the past, but I found it for the first time with scott. It may take some time, but… it’s out there waiting for you. I’m sure of it. No, mother. True love’s not for everyone. I had a shot with jason briefly, but he’s gone. And let’s face it. I’m damaged goods.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, my sweet britta. We’re all damaged in one way or another. I am. And so is scott. But when you find the right person, you help each other heal. Okay. Great. Thank you. Da’s office? What’d they say? Well, they said if you’re not pressing charges, then there is no case and we can let cody go. So I’m a free man? Yeah, as soon as I get these cuffs off you. I don’t expect you to thank me. Good, ’cause you’re not gonna get a thanks. Now, listen, you can choose to believe me or not, but I did not know that dominique had a son. When we found out that she had an inoperable brain tumor, we had a lot of time together. And she would have told me about you. But she didn’T. So she must have had her reasons. You can tell yourself that at night if it helps you sleep. Me, it’s a whole load of B.S. Can you believe that guy? You know…

[ Keys hit desk ] I hate to say it, man, but… I think he’s telling the truth. Alright, mom. I’ve got to get back to my rounds. But I’ll see you later. I’ll see you soon. Alright.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

[ Click ] Tj: I got so laser-focused on trying to help trina… that I considered using extreme measures to shock oz’s system, basically to try to force him out of his coma. But don’t worry. Portia wasn’t having any of it. She reminded me that — that I need to put the patient first… and that it’s just too risky of a procedure. Jordan: Did dr. Robinson say

why she was there? Uh, she just wanted to see if haggerty was any closer to waking up. Tj: I know. The law is the law. But I just wish I felt as confident as you that justice will be done. I know I’m just a rookie, but does it have to be either/or? Can’t a police officer be true to the badge and still have compassion?

[ Alarm bells ring ]

[ Alarm blaring ] The alarm was triggered on the elevator. Someone must be trapped inside. I’m coming with you!

[ Blaring continues ]

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Blaring continues ] You can save my daughter. You’re the only one who can.

[ Exhales shakily ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Belle: Hey, what brings you by this evening, oh, brother of mine?

Eric: Well, I saw a book I recommended for mom, so I picked it up, and I thought I’d bring it over.

Belle: Aw, that’s really sweet. Um, she just went to dinner with a colleague, though. But I bet if you text her she’d like to meet you for dessert or coffee or something after.

Eric: Yeah, well, I’ll text her later. What’s up with the bags? You going somewhere on business?

Belle: Uh, actually, no. It’s more of a personal trip. I’m moving back home.

[Both chuckle]

[Phone rings]

Shawn: What’s up, partner? You look a little rattled.

Jada: [Sighs] I just met with da trask.

Shawn: Oh, yeah. She’s a ray of sunshine, isn’t she?

Jada: She read me the whole riot act on why we haven’t closed the abigail dimera case yet.

Shawn: Yeah, I got an earful from her earlier as well. And, uh–yeah. Was she on the, uh– then lucas horton kick or was she on the sarah horton kick?

Jada: Both. And I got a nice long rant about clyde weston. She’s furious that we released him.

Shawn: The guy had an airtight alibi.

Jada: I reminded her of that. But she’s stuck on the fact that he was in possession of the victim’s stolen bracelet.

Shawn: Honestly, so am I.

Jada: Who’s this “guy” that weston claims to have bought it from?

Shawn: I don’t know. But we need to find out.

Nancy: So you saw the guy who–who sold you the bracelet?

Clyde: Yeah, he was here two minutes ago, threw a drink in my face, and ran out the door.

Brady: But you got a good look at him, right?

Clyde: Oh, you bet I did.

Chloe: Well, that’s great. You can identify him now, right?

Brady: And help the police finally bring abigail’s murderer to justice.

Thomas: Look, there he is!

Chad: You saw that man at our house?

Thomas: He’s not a man. He’s a fairy.

Chad: When? When was this?

Thomas: The day mommy went to heaven.

Chad: I want you to stay right here. Daddy’s gonna go talk to the tooth fairy, okay?

Thomas: Can I come?

Chad: No. Listen, thomas? I want you to stay right here. Do you promise me?

Thomas: I promise.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

[Phone rings]

Jada: Medium height, brown hair, average weight. You know, I wish clyde would have given us a better description.

Shawn: Well, maybe we should bring him in tomorrow and meet with a sketch artist.

Jada: Good idea. So how did things go with your wife earlier?

Shawn: Actually, it went– it went pretty well. She’s–she’s moving back home tonight.

Jada: Shawn, that’s great! Do you want to leave early? I can cover for you.

Shawn: No, no, no, no. Thank you, though. No, we’re meeting up later.

Jada: Good luck. I know how it feels, hoping for reconciliation. I went through it with my ex-husband.

Shawn: I–I didn’t know you’re divorced.

Jada: [Sighs] It was a stupid thing for me to bring up.

Shawn: No, it’s okay.

Jada: Obviously, my marriage didn’t last, but I’m sure you and belle will work things out. Please, forget I said anything.

Shawn: Come one, jada. Seriously, it’s fine. All right? And if you don’t mind me asking, was the divorce recent? I mean, is that the reason why you moved to salem? You know, to, uh…I don’t know, get a change of scenery?

Jada: Uh, it’s been a while, actually.

Shawn: Oh. Well… are you, uh–are you okay?

Jada: [Sighs] You know, when you–when you get married, you don’t– you don’t think it’s gonna fall apart. So when things do fall apart, you feel like a failure. You know what I mean? I mean, at least I did. But as more time goes on and I can move past that, I–I feel like I can forgive myself. Yeah. In fact, I had a date today.

Shawn: Wait, how–how did– wait, how did you squeeze that in?

Jada: On my lunch break.

Shawn: Oh. That’s what you meant when you were like, “oh, I got somewhere to be.” Was it good?

Jada: Uh, it was.

Shawn: Was he nice?

Jada: Very. Uh, actually, you know him. It’s your brother-in-law, eric.

Eric: Belle, that’s fanta– oh, my god, that’s great news.

Belle: Thanks.

Both: Yeah.

Eric: You want to tell me about it? I mean, you don’t have to.

Belle: No, of course. I’ll tell you about it. Well, you know that evan took the baby back from shawn.

Both: Yeah.

Belle: And, obviously, shawn’s very, very heartbroken about it, and I just want to be there for him. And I thought if I move back in, maybe we could work on our marriage, too.

Eric: Yeah, well, helping him through after losing a baby, that’s very big of you.

Belle: Mm, well, don’t give me too much credit. If that baby had been shawn’s with jan, I don’t know if I would be moving back in.

Eric: Well, that’s not a concern now.

Belle: [Sighs] You know the baby wasn’t the source of all of our problems. There is still the fact that I slept with ej when shawn and I were separated. And that’s not something he can just get over. I know sami never will.

Eric: And shawn? Is he willing to try?

Belle: Yeah, he is. You know? I think we both know that fixing this, fixing us, is gonna take some time. But I think moving back in is a good first step.

Brady: This guy has to be the one that killed abigail.

Nancy: That’s what I’ve been saying all along.

Brady: Clyde, you need to tell the police what you just told us. That–that you just ran into the guy that gave you abigail’s bracelet and he’s on the loose.

Nancy: Yes, now that you’ve seen him again, you can give them a better description.

Brady: Yeah, yeah. Know what? I’m gonna give rafe a call.

Clyde: Not so fast.

Chad: Hey, leo, going somewhere?

Leo: Oh, chad, I didn’t see you.

Chad: Yeah, I think you did.

Leo: Something I can do for you?

Chad: Yeah. You want to tell me what you were doing in my basement the day my wife was murdered? Migraine hits hard, so u hit back with ubrelvy

Shawn: What, you went on a– you went on a date with eric?

Jada: Are you– are you not okay with that?

Shawn: No, I’m– I’m fine with it. I’m actually– I’m actually more than fine with it.

Jada: Okay. Because I–you know, I don’t want to step on any toes or create any weirdness.

Shawn: How would you do that?

Jada: I mean, you gotta admit, the situation’s a little complicated. Eric was married to nicole, and now she’s married to our boss.

Shawn: Happily married, jada. I don’t think you need to worry about anything, all right? I think everybody’s over it. They’ve moved on. I mean, obviously eric has. And nicole and rafe, they’re still in the middle of newlywed bliss.

Rafe: Knock, knock. [Knocks]

Nicole: [Gasps] Oh, what a surprise. To what do I owe this pleasure?

Rafe: Well, you came by yesterday, hoping to go to dinner, and I couldn’t go. So…I’m here to make it up to you. To take out my beautiful wife.

Nicole: Aw. Well, my handsome husband, I would love that.

Rafe: Yeah?

Nicole: Yeah.

Rafe: You sure you can knock off?

Nicole: Well, brady and chloe left for the day, so why can’t I?

Rafe: Oh, why? Oh, looks– look at that.

Nicole: [Chuckles]

Rafe: Wow. Upgrade the crutches for a cane, huh?

Nicole: Yes. Yes, I did.

Rafe: I got a better idea.

[Cane clatters] Here.

Nicole: Aw.

Rafe: How’s that?

Nicole: It’s perfect.

Rafe: [Indistinct]

Nicole: Yeah.

Rafe: You’re perfect.

Nicole: [Chuckles] Oh, stop.

[Chuckling]

Brady: You won’t speak to rafe?

Chloe: Yeah, what’s going on, clyde?

Clyde: I just can’T.

Nancy: Of course you can. If you tell the police what he looks like, then they’ll find him. And–and then they’ll lock him up. And then you’ll be a hero.

Clyde: No, I ain’t no hero.

Nancy: What do you mean?

Clyde: Nancy, when I told you that I knew it was stolen when I gave you the bracelet, it wasn’t the whole story. Nancy, I’m sorry. I have a confession to make.

Chad: The hell were you doing in my house, leo?

Leo: Uh, nothing, because I wasn’t there.

Chad: Hmm. See that little boy over there? That’s my son, thomas. He pointed at you, and you took off.

Leo: As I said before, I didn’t see you. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m late for an appointment.

Chad: Yeah, he told me that he met you in the basement the day my wife was murdered. See, now all of the sudden a bunch of things that didn’t make sense are starting to make perfect sense.

Leo: Like what?

Chad: Like the day I saw you at the park. The day of abby’s funeral. You said your heart went out to my children.

Leo: That was sincere.

Chad: You also said that thomas was a sweet child.

Chad: I asked you how you knew him, you said you didn’T. Said that you heard it from gwen. See, I think you– I think you did know him. I think you met him when you were hiding in our basement. You told him you were the tooth fairy.

Leo: [Scoffs] Now I’ve heard everything. Obviously, he’s making it up.

Chad: Are you telling me my son’s lying?

Leo: Or he’s mistaken. He’s got me confused with some other fairy. Now, like I said before, I’m in a hurry.

Chad: You are not going anywhere but the police station.

Sonny: Hey, chad, it’s sonny. Look, I was just thinking about our conversation earlier, about you taking a job at titan. I know you said you’re fine with alex taking the vp position, but if there’s any part of you that’s interested, I know that there are plenty of positions that you would be more than qualified for. I just–I think you would be a huge asset to titan. And, selfishly, I think it would be a blast to work together. So… also, I gotta say, I’m still pretty pissed off at uncle vic for hiring alex without telling me, but– just…give me a call back.

[Phone beeps] As long as you’re not pissed off at your brother. Flo, you’re here.

Alexander: [Sighs] Man, am I exhausted.

Sonny: From what? I didn’t even see you working all day.

Alexander: Yeah, because i was in hr all day, filling out all that damn paperwork. It was endless, seriously. You’re not, though, right?

Sonny: I’m not what?

Alexander: Mad as hell at me for taking over the exec vp job?

Sonny: No, alex. Look, I already told you, okay? Uncle vic is the one who went behind my back. You were just offered a job and you took it.

Alexander: Without lobbying for it. I swear to god to you, sonny, I–when uncle vic offered me the job, I was incredulous. You know? I knew it was not cool that you weren’t part of that discussion, and I told uncle vic that sonny should be here, too.

Sonny: And then he said, “who’s sonny?”

Alexander: Would you stop? You are uncle victor’s favorite kiriakis brother and you know that.

Sonny: No, actually, I don’T.

Alexander: [Scoffs]

Sonny: I don’t at all. At least not in a business sense. Do you know the amount of times he’s told me that I will never be as successful as he is because I don’t have, like, a killer instinct or whatever?

Alexander: Yeah, sonny. That’s because unlike uncle vic, you actually have blood running through your veins. Not that I don’t love the old guy, but I don’t think either of us should try to emulate him.

Sonny: No matter how hard I tried, I don’t think I could emulate uncle vic.

Alexander: Well, that’s a good thing.

Sonny: [Sighs] Yeah. I guess I just– look, I’m–I’m totally okay with you taking the job. The one thing I’m not okay with is being disrespected. You know, uncle vic, he pushed so hard for me to be ceo. And I took all this time away from will. And, really, I made these big changes in my life. And then he makes this huge business decision behind my back. It’s just–

Alexander: Hey, he knows we’re brothers, that you worship me. Oh, yeah, when we were kids, you worshipped me.

Sonny: Well, in case you haven’t noticed, we’re not kids anymore, so– least not physically.

Alexander: Okay, seriously? I think uncle vic thought, since this is a family business and we are family, that maybe you wouldn’t mind working closely with me.

Sonny: Right, that’S… probably what he thought.

Alexander: But was he wrong? Sonny, you got an issue working with me?

Sonny: [Sighs]

Nicole: Aw.

Rafe: Here we go.

Both: Yay.

Nicole: Thank you. [Chuckles]

Rafe: All right, there.

[Chuckles and smooches] How is the ankle?

Nicole: It is almost 100%. Thank you. And, uh, thank you for letting me lean on you.

Rafe: Always.

Nicole: This is so nice. Dining al fresco on a beautiful summer night. And I am so glad you were able to get out. ‘Cause I know how much pressure you’ve been feeling at work.

Rafe: Yeah. Well, actually, it has eased up a bit, since shawn’s come back from paternity leave, and jada hunter has joined the team, so–

Nicole: Wow, she’s been doing some job, huh? I know she was with you when you tracked down the guy who robbed me. I mean, that had to be really intense.

Rafe: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. [Chuckles] That was. No, um, jake was–was there lying on the ground, fatally wounded, as it– as it turned out. And, um, the guy was ready to shoot ava.

Nicole: And jada saved her life.

Rafe: Yeah. And a lot of cops would have frozen or freaked out in that situation, but… she did the right thing. But she was definitely a little shaken up afterward.

Nicole: I can imagine.

Rafe: Yeah. She killed someone in the line of duty. It was a clean shoot. She knows that. I know that. But she’s still struggling with it. But–[Sighs] That tells me that she’s not only a good detective but a good person with a good conscience.

Nicole: It sounds like she’s working out great.

Rafe: Yes, she is. Uh, she’s great. And, uh, I actually made her partners with shawn, and he really likes her.

Nicole: Oh. So does eric.

Rafe: Eric?

Nicole: Oh. Oh, you haven’t heard. He and jada are dating.

Eric: I have a very good feeling about you and shawn. Especially after I heard you went to see him at the station today.

Belle: How’d you hear that?

Eric: Jada told me.

Belle: Wait, jada hunter, shawn’s new partner?

Eric: Yeah, that’s the one.

Belle: How do you know her?

Eric: Well, uncle stevie introduced me to her when she got to salem. Said that she was looking for a place to live. And I told her that my dad, you know, he rents out rooms over the pub. And, uh, she actually ended up taking one.

Belle: Well, I only met her in passing, but she seemed really great. Shawn seems to like her a lot already. And I’m sure you noticed that she’s very attractive.

Eric: Stop.

Belle: You should ask her out.

Nancy: There’s more to the story? You mean about the bracelet you gave me?

Clyde: Yeah. And it’s time I told you.

Chloe: Okay, well, let’s hear it. All of it.

Clyde: [Sighs] When I met the guy in the pub, he said he had some items that he was looking to sell, specifically some jewelry. He gave me some song and dance about them belonging to a dearly departed aunt, but I knew from the beginning the stuff was hot.

Brady: And?

Clyde: And I offered to fence it for him. And I just–I wanted to give you something special to let you know how much I care about you.

Brady: Nothing says “I love you” like stolen jewelry from a murder victim.

Clyde: Hey, man, I had no idea where he got the jewelry, much less that he killed anybody to get it.

Brady: But you partnered with him. You offered to fence the stolen goods. That’s why you don’t want to talk to the police.

Clyde: Nancy… obviously what I did is a violation of my parole. If the cops find out, they’re gonna send me back to prison.

Leo: Get your hands off of me, chad.

Shawn: Whoa, what the hell’s going on here?

Leo: Chad won’t leave me alone. I mean, I know he’s obsessed with me, but–

Chad: Shut up. When my son and were at the square–

Shawn: Is thomas okay?

Chad: No, thomas is fine. He’s with detective hunter. She’s keeping an eye on him.

Shawn: So what’s leo doing here?

Chad: Long story short, he killed my wife. My asthma felt anything but normal.

Brady: What the hell? Are you really gonna refuse to cooperate with the police when it could lead to abigail’s killer?

Nancy: Look, I know the two of you are upset–

Chloe: We’re upse– you should be upset! You should be outraged, mom. This man has done nothing but lie to you. Now he’s obstructing justice?

Nancy: Stop it. I am upset. And I hear you. But, please, can I just have a moment to speak with him about this?

Chloe: I–I don’t see the point, but fine.

Nancy: Clyde, you promised me that you wouldn’t lie to me again. “The god’s honest truth.” That’s what you said.

Clyde: I know. And I hate what I did. But I can’t go back to prison.

Nancy: We don’t know for sure that you would.

Clyde: Nancy, fencing is a crime.

Chloe: Yeah, but if you tell rafe the truth, then, you know, you could help him catch a killer. And they might go easier on you.

Clyde: Well, even if I do give him a description, there’s no guarantee they’re gonna catch him. He’s probably long gone by now.

Nancy: Well… did he give you–or did he talk anything about himself? Did he–did he give you any clues as to who he is?

Clyde: No. All I know is he’s a wine-swilling twerp in a floral-print suit.

Both: Leo.

Shawn: You think leo killed abigail?

Leo: Based on some absurd story his kid told him. The whole thing is ridiculous.

Chad: Thomas told me that the day abby died, he ran into leo in our basement.

Leo: He also told you that I claimed to be the tooth fairy.

Shawn: The tooth fairy?

Leo: As I said, absurd.

Chad: When we were in the square, thomas pointed at leo and leo took off. Why would he do that if he wasn’t guilty?

Leo: [Groans] Like I told chad, after he chased me down in a paranoid rage, I was late to an appointment. I didn’t see him or his kid. Yet he dragged me down here against my will, and now I’m forced to defend myself against these insane accusations!

Chad: Leo had motive, all right? He hated abigail because she helped me break up his relationship with craig wesley.

Leo: Oh, please.

Chad: You swore revenge on sonny, brady, chloe, me, and abby was on that hit list.

Shawn: Were you in chad’s basement or not, leo?

Leo: Have you been to the dimera mansion? That place is a fortress. How would I even know how to get in there?

Chad: Oh, clever little rodent like you, you’d figure out a way down to the tunnels.

Leo: Guinevere. Thank you for checking up on me. Thanks to your directions, I’m able to wend my way through these tunnels. I was very robert donat, very “prisoner of zenda.”

[Chuckles] Ugh, you are a film illiterate. Well, it’s not the ritz, but it beats sleeping on a bench in prospect park. Plus, there are some very nice amenities here at chez dimera. And best of all, your sister is right upstairs. Tunnels? What tunnels? I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Chad: You know what? You are not gonna get away with this, you understand me? If the cops will not make make you pay, I will!

Leo: Get your hands off of me! Did you hear that? He just threatened my life!

Shawn: You need to calm down, okay? Calm down.

Leo: You need to put him in a cage.

Shawn: One step at a time.

Chad: He murdered my wife!

Chad: You need to step outside with your son and detective hunter, okay? I’ll be with you in a second. Chad, I’ll be with you in a second.

Leo: About those charges–

Shawn: Sit! Stay, all right?

Leo: Where are you going?

Shawn: I’m gonna get the full story from thomas. And–and I’m gonna have a guard watching you every second, so if you even think about leaving, bad idea.

[Door closes]

Eric: [Chuckles] You are always trying to play matchmaker.

Belle: Well, I just want my brother to be happy. So yes, maybe I am. Please don’t tell me you’re not ready, though. Because I love you dearly, but it’s time.

Eric: I know.

Belle: Nicole is happily married to rafe now.

Eric: This has nothing to do with nicole.

Belle: Mm-hmm. Then why don’t you ask jada out?

Eric: Because we already went to lunch today. And for the record, she was the one who invited me.

Rafe: Well, that’s, uh–

[Chuckles] I had no idea that eric and jada were seeing each other. Wait, how do you know?

Nicole: Well, when I went to the station yesterday, I overheard her asking eric to lunch. And then when chloe and I were at the pub earlier, they– we saw them together on a date.

Rafe: Oh, okay. Well, you know what? That’s terrific. Actually, I think they’ll be a great couple.

Nicole: Hmm.

Rafe: Hmm? You don’t agree? We really had our hands full with our two-year-old.

Rafe: So you don’t believe that eric and jada will be good together?

Nicole: Well, I– I don’t know, obviously, and neither do you. But I just hope for both their sakes that, you know, it doesn’t get awkward down the line.

Rafe: Right. Why would it be awkward? Well, because when they came to say hello to us, eric mentioned that jada would be renting a room above the pub.

Rafe: So?

Nicole: So they’ll be right down the hall from each other.

Rafe: Mm-hmm. What’s the problem?

Nicole: Well, I mean, if it– if it doesn’t work out, you know, it might be uncomfortable for both of them.

Rafe: But hopefully it will work out, right?

Nicole: Yes. Hopefully.

Belle: So jada asked you out. I like that. How’d it go?

Eric: It was good.

Belle: [Chuckles]

Eric: We laughed a lot, you know? And we had a lot in common.

Belle: Such as?

Eric: We both like running and dogs. And we’ve both been divorced.

Belle: Ah.

Eric: Well, we were respectful to our pasts, and we tried to stick to the lighter stuff like what our favorite movie was.

Belle: Mm-hmm.

Eric: Favorite foods. And she likes sushi. So do I.

Belle: Oh, good. Well, that’ll make planning your next date a breeze.

[Both chuckle]

Belle: I’m so glad you’re getting back out there. And also I’m sorry about what I said earlier.

Eric: What did you say?

Belle: Well, I just assumed you didn’t ask jada out because you were still hung up on nicole. And I won’t do that anymore. I won’t jump to conclusions about how you feel, ’cause I so hate it when people do that to me. But I am glad you’re moving on.

Eric: Yeah. Well, I’m glad you’re moving home.

Belle: [Chuckles]

Eric: It’s where you belong.

Belle: Oh, gosh. I better get going. ‘Cause shawn is gonna make me dinner.

Eric: Oh, well, let me help with your bags.

Belle: Okay.

Chloe: Leo came by the office earlier.

Brady: Yeah, he tried to– he tried to get me to hire him. He was wearing a floral suit.

Brady: As a matter of fact, you know what I have?

Chloe: [Gasps]

Clyde: What’s that?

Brady: This is leo’s lookbook. It’s got a bunch of pictures of him in hideous outfits.

Clyde: That’s him. That’s the guy.

Chad: Jada told me how much you’ve been helping the police. And I’m her partner. It’s good to see you, thomas.

Thomas: You too, cousin shawn.

Chad: Hey, now that cousin shawn and I are here, you want to tell us what you remember about the man you saw in our basement?

Thomas: Like what?

Chad: Like anything you can remember.

Jada: Thomas, why don’t you tell your dad what you told me earlier? About what you and your sister were doing that day.

Thomas: We were playing hide and seek. So that’s why I went down in that tunnel.

Jada: And what did you see in the tunnels?

Thomas: I saw a man. And I asked him what he was doing. He was kind of scary. He said he was gonna lock me up. But then he said he was the tooth fairy. So I stopped being scared.

Chad: Hey, what’s wrong?

Thomas: Is the tooth fairy in trouble?

Jada: What do you mean?

Thomas: Is he mad at me ’cause I wasn’t supposed to tell?

Shawn: What is it that you weren’t supposed to tell, thomas?

Thomas: That I saw him. He said it was a secret. And I broke my promise.

Jada: It’s okay, thomas. You didn’t do anything wrong.

Thomas: But he said not to tell anybody, especially my parents or I wouldn’t get any tooth fairy money for the rest of my life.

Jada: Did he say anything else?

Thomas: He asked me to get him breakfast, so I did.

Jada: And that was it? He didn’t say anything else after you brought him breakfast?

Thomas: I don’t think so. I’m not sure.

Chad: It’s okay, thomas. You’ve told us a lot. You’ve been very helpful.

Thomas: But I broke my promise. Then I told mom–mommy, then I told you. And then the police. I don’t want him to be in trouble, and I don’t want to be in trouble either.

Jada: No one’s in trouble. Like your dad said, you’re doing the right thing.

Chad: You did exactly what mommy and I taught you. All right? You told the truth. Mommy would be very proud. Are we done?

Shawn: Yeah. Yeah, we’re set.

Jada: Great job, thomas. You did a good job.

Chad: All right, buddy. Now, it’s time for you to get home and get to bed. I’m gonna call grandma jennifer and have her pick you up.

Thomas: What about you, daddy? You’ll come home soon, right?

Chad: Yes, I will. I will be home in time to tuck you in. I promise. All right, but first, daddy has to talk to the tooth fairy again.

Thomas: If he’s not too mad at me, please tell him he owes me $50.

Chad: He owes you a lot more than that. Come here.

[Sighs]

Sonny: Okay, I want to word this right, because I do care about you. It’s not that I have an issue working with you, per se, you know–

Alexander: Okay, okay, okay. No, no, no. Say no more. I get it. Sonny boy, I totally get it.

Sonny: Ale–you– you totally get it? Even though I haven’t even answered the question yet?

Alexander: Well, I shouldn’t have had to even ask the damn question, but there’s obviously going to be an issue. I’m an assertive, confident person in most ways. And that can be intimidating.

Sonny: I am not intimidated by you, alex, okay? First of all, you are my brother, so I have no problem telling you when you’re acting like a total jerk, okay? And second of all, you know, you’re acting like I’m not assertive and confident. But, you know, I’m the ceo of the company, which kind of makes me the boss.

Alexander: Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I misspoke. I shouldn’t have used the word “intimidated.” I just know how you can get a little sensitive about being condescended to especially by me, huh?

Sonny: I’m not sensitive. You make me sound like a little weenie, man.

Alexander: Oh.

Sonny: Come on. You know? And you know why I don’t have a problem being condescended to by you? It’s ’cause I’m used to it. So is everyone else you’ve ever interacted with.

Alexander: Okay. All right, you know what? Can we just stop for a second? Let’s not fight. Let me be honest with you. Let me explain myself, please? Thank you. Sonny, I want us to be compatible in every way possible. Not just at work, in general. You’re my brother. I love you, man. I– I’m letting you know right now that in no uncertain terms am I ever, ever going to steamroll you in this role. Period. You are the boss. I am deferring to you. No comment?

Sonny: I j–I think you’re gonna have a hard time with that. Deferring to me? Having me call the shots, make the big decisions? Yeah, I’m gonna be honest, I– I don’t think you can handle that. I was taking my antidepressant daily,

Alexander: Wow. That is really disappointing.

Sonny: What is?

Alexander: Your whole attitude about this whole thing, sonny. We’ve worked together before in the past and it was great. We got along famously, as I recall.

Sonny: Alex, that was totally different.

Alexander: Sonny boy, I have no problem deferring to you. I know that you are more than capable of doing this. And like I said, I love you. You’re my brother. And I am looking at this as the chance to actually make us a little bit closer. To truly bond.

Sonny: You mean it?

Alexander: ‘Course I mean it. Sonny, you’re not just capable, you’re one of the kindest people I’ve ever met in my life. Not to mention funny as hell. Nobody cracks me up the way you do.

Sonny: I hope I don’t make you laugh in the office too much.

Alexander: See, I actually hope you do make me laugh too much in the office. We need that, man. We need that. Even with the most serious, important jobs, we gotta find the humor in it.

Sonny: I guess there’s nothing wrong with a little humor from time to time.

Alexander: No. I’m looking forward it. And I’m also gonna have to fly.

Sonny: You want to– you want to stay for dinner? I mean, the chef is making his famous osso buco tonight.

Alexander: Tonight’s osso buco night?

Sonny: Yeah.

Alexander: Mm, uh… no, I got plans. Do you want to come with me?

Sonny: Oh, um–osso buco. Dinner? And then I got some work I gotta do.

Alexander: I got you. Are we good?

Sonny: Yeah, we’re good.

Alexander: I love you, bro.

Sonny: I love you too.

Alexander: Boss.

Sonny: Don’t ever call me that.

Alexander: Captain.

Sonny: That’s better. I like that. Have a good time!

Brady: Are you sure that this is the guy?

Clyde: Yeah. No doubt in my mind.

Chloe: Oh, my god.

Nancy: [Gasps] Clyde, do you know who that is?

Clyde: Who?

Nancy: It’s leo stark. He’s the little weasel my husband left me for. He’s the con artist craig almost married.

Clyde: You mean–

Nancy: [Giggles] Yes. Your weasel and my weasel are the same damn weasel.

[Giggles]

Chad: I want leo arrested. Now.

Chad: Chad, we need to follow procedure.

Chad: What does that mean?

Shawn: If we get what we need we can place leo under arrest.

Chad: You heard what my son just said. He–he saw leo in our basement, and leo told him to keep it a secret. What more do you need?

Shawn: We need to bring rafe up to speed, is what we need.

Chad: So then get him.

Rafe: He’s gone for the day.

Chad: Okay, after my wife was murdered, I stood in that room, the room where my wife was stabbed, over, and over, and over again. And rafe looked me in the eye and told me he wouldn’t stop until the killer was found. Well, we found him. So rafe is gonna get the hell back here now.

[Phone beeps]

Rafe: What are you thinking?

Nicole: The dover sole sounds good.

[Phone rings]

Rafe: It’s chad. I should probably take this.

[Phone beeps] Hey, chad, what’s up?

Chad: I’m at the station with abigail’s killer.

Rafe: What?

Chad: Just get down here.

Rafe: All right, I’m on my way.

Nicole: Is everything okay?

Rafe: Well, it appears as though there’s a development in abigail’s case.

Nicole: Oh, gosh.

Rafe: Yeah, I gotta go.

Nicole: Okay. Yes, of course. Go.

Rafe: I’d say I’ll be back–

Nicole: Oh, honey, I’m fine. I’ll get something and I’ll see you at home.

Rafe: Okay. [Smooches] Love you.

Nicole: I love you too.

Leo: Ah, finally. I assume you’re here to release me with your sincere apologies?

Shawn: Nope. You’re gonna be here a while.

Leo: Don’t tell me this is about what that screwed up little dimera kid said? You don’t actually believe any of that, do you? The tooth fairy in the basement? Come on.

Jada: I suggest you sit down.

Leo: Okay, look, look. I won’t press any charges against chad for threatening me or demand that that obnoxious little boy retract his lies. We can chalk this up to a misunderstanding and I’ll be on my way.

Shawn: No, you’re gonna sit the hell down, all right? Rafe’s on his way.

Leo: What? Why?

Shawn: ‘Cause detective hunter and I are gonna brief him. And he’s gonna ask you some questions. And you’re not going anywhere until you answer them. This is the sound of better breathing.

Jada: Eric.

Eric: [Chuckles]

Jada: We have to stop meeting like this.

Eric: Oh, I guess that’s gonna happen a lot now that you’re moving in upstairs.

Jada: Well, I don’t think I mind it.

Eric: You just coming from work?

Jada: Yeah, I did. And I think we just caught a big break in the abigail dimera case.

Eric: That’s great.

Jada: I would tell you more, but–

Eric: I get you can’t discuss an ongoing investigation. So we can talk about something else. Hey, how about dinner? If that’s okay.

Jada: Two dates in one day?

Eric: Is that a yes?

Jada: It is.

Eric: Good.

[Jada chuckles]

Belle: I hope I’m not late.

Shawn: No, no, no, no. You’re actually right on time. Grill’s all fired up, steaks are ready to go. I figure while I cook, I don’t know, you can, you know, check out your garden.

Belle: That sounds really nice.

Shawn: Welcome home.

Belle: It’s good to be home.

Chloe: Of all the people that could’ve murdered abigail–

Brady: Leo stark.

Chloe: Yeah, I mean, I know he’s awful, and he’s con artist, a crook, self-absorbed, probably the most narcissistic person I’ve ever met, but is he really a murderer?

Brady: The thought never occurred to me. But come to think of it, I mean, he blamed abigail just as much as he blamed us for ruining his relationship with your dad. He was furious at her.

Chloe: Yeah, but furious enough to murder her?

Brady: I guess we’ll see.

[Phone rings]

Rafe: My detectives have brought me up to speed. It appears that thomas dimera–

Leo: Is a child with a very active imagination.

Chad: Call my kid a liar one more time.

Leo: Why is he here?

Chad: To make sure the animal that killed my wife is put down.

Rafe: Chad, please. Now, thomas says that he saw you in the dimera basement?

Leo: No, he says he saw the tooth fairy in the dimera basement. Maybe he was down there with a pack of wild unicorns as well.

Rafe: You think this is funny?

Leo: No, I think it’s outrageous. I have been harassed, detained, and slandered. And I don’t have to take it anymore. I’m so out of here.

Chad: Read him his rights.

Rafe: Afraid I can’t do that.

Chad: Why the hell not?

Rafe: I don’t have enough to hold him here, let alone arrest him.

Leo: Thank you.

Chad: Rafe, you can’t just let him go.

Leo: He can and he will, because unlike you, the police commissioner knows the law.

Rafe: I don’t want to hold him here unless I have enough to make future charges stick. That could end up blowing up in our faces later.

Chad: Okay, if you let him go, he’ll disappear. We’ll never see him again.

Rafe: Chad, without anyone or anything to back up what thomas says, I can’t keep him here. Believe me, chad, I want this case solved as much as you do. But I don’t have enough to implicate leo. And I don’t have the testimony from a corroborating witness.

Clyde: Oh, yes you do.

Voice app: Thanks, but i can’t wait to stop sounding like GPS directions.

[Both laugh]

Mariah: Tessa is still resting her voice, but I’m not going to lie. I think I’m kind of starting to like it. I mean, the computer automated voice, it’s kind of sounding a little sexy to me, if you know what I mean.

Kyle: Glad to see you’re keeping your sense of humor.

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

Phyllis: Okay, well, it’s unfortunate for you that all you’re working with are, you know, your buddies and your girlfriend. I’m going to handle Diane very professionally.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: So that’s how it ends, a bear mauling?

Sanchez: And as I said, we found shreds of she was bloodstained clothing, her driver’s license, busted cell phone. And… most shocking of all, middle toe. I know it’s gruesome, I apologize. I hesitated to bring it, but–

Taylor: No, no. We’re– we’re glad you did.

Steffy: We’ve been through a lot with sheila. But to realize it’S…

Li: To realize that she can do no further harm. It’s a huge relief.

Brooke: So, all that extra security that ridge hired–

Sanchez: Yes. That’s no longer necessary. The dna evidence is indisputable. Sheila’s dead.

Liam: Everything okay at home?

Hope: Oh, yes. Apparently, douglas and beth have roped giselle into making cookies.

Liam: I guess we should be thankful we were able to get a sitter on such short notice.

Hope: I just– I had to get out of there and touch base with you. I hope you understand. It’s just– I don’t want douglas to overhear–

Liam: I– listen, listen. I completely get it.

Hope: I wish I did. Because, why now? Why is thomas bringing this up now?

Liam: I don’t know. You know, it could all just be from that one comment of douglas’s, right? That, you know, he wants to see his dad more often. He wonders if his dad misses him when he’s not around. I mean, that– that could have been all it took for thomas to start thinking about making douglas live with him.

Hope: Or maybe this is just been a thought in the back of thomas’s mind, and he’s just been waiting to bring it up.

Liam: I mean, yeah, maybe. Maybe. But I think it’s pretty hard to argue with the fact that douglas is thriving right now. So why you would upset that, I don’t– I don’t know.

Hope: Exactly. Douglas has a loving, stable home with us. And that is something that unfortunately, thomas hasn’t always been able to provide. So, I don’t know, liam. I thought this was settled.

Liam: Yeah, so did I. But apparently not so much for thomas.

Hope: The things that he said. If douglas actually goes to live with him, what the reality of that would be like. Not having douglas be a part of our daily life. That would upset beth so much and– I mean, it would upset all of us. I’m getting upset already just thinking about it. So.

Deacon: Okay. Inventory is done, I’ve updated the stock list.

Bartender: Nice. Bathrooms?

Deacon: Ah, yeah. They’re cleaned and checked.

Bartender: Alley?

Deacon: Swept it. It’s clear. Hey, do you mind if I took an early lunch?

Bartender: Sure.

Liam: I know this is hard, but try not to get ahead of yourself because all thomas has done so far is mention it, right? He hasn’t like demanded that douglas come to live with him or anything.

Hope: Yet. What if he does? What if he does get the courts involved? What if he does want to renegotiate our agreement? I don’t–

Deacon: Hey guys. I was over at the bar and I– what’s going on? What’s wrong?

Sanchez: I know this is all been very shocking. I apologize. Does anyone else have any questions that you need me to answer?

Taylor: I think we are all just trying to take it in. It’s a lot.

Brooke: We expected sheila to be caught at some point, but to find out that she’s dead.

Eric: In such a horrific way, it’s just–

Steffy: Thank you for everything, detective.

Finn: What happens now?

Sanchez: Well, as far as the department is concerned, it’s a closed case. Sheila’s never going to bother anyone again.

Brooke: Oh, that’s always hard to comprehend. After everything she’s done to all of us through the years.

Li: Sorry, sweetheart. I know the woman gave birth to you. But–

Finn: No. It’s okay. You’re right. It’s hard to feel any sympathy for her.

Sanchez: I have to get back to the precinct.

Brooke: All right. Thank you, detective sanchez. We’ll tell ridge what you said.

Sanchez: Thank you. Have a good day.

Li: Thank you.

Taylor: I– I can’t quite believe that sheila’s gone.

Brooke: Yeah. [ Sighs ] I’m having some trouble with that myself. But like detective sanchez said, the dna is indisputable.

Thomas: Um. Why is detective sanchez here? What happened?

Taylor: Um, something… grisly.

Steffy: We have some news.

Thomas: News? About sheila? Has she been found?

Steffy: Um.

Taylor: Well, yeah, he had photos and dna evidence and… something–

Steffy: A toe.

Thomas: What?

Steffy: Sheila carter’s middle toe to be precise.

Thomas: Okay, wait. It doesn’t– what– are you saying that sheila’s–

Steffy: Sheila’s dead.

Taylor: Yeah. We’ll fill you in on everything later. You know, forgive me for maybe not believing it. But sheila’s pulled this before. You remember, she apparently died in genoa city, and then she showed up here. So, I might need some more evidence.

Steffy: The police are convinced they have dna evidence to back it up.

Eric: Look, I know it’s hard to understand. But none of us ever thought this day would come.

Taylor: But it’s finally happened. Sheila’s gone, thomas. She’s out of our lives forever. I will do great things today.

Bill: This is a welcomed surprise, li.

Li: I hope I’m not interrupting.

Bill: No, no, not at all. In fact, when security called and said it was you, I was glad to hear. You’re looking so much better than when I last saw you. Healthy. You’re fully recovered.

Li: I think so, yes.

Bill: Good. Glad to hear that. Can I get you anything? Drink, coffee, tea?

Li: No, thank you. I realize you’re a busy man. I just wanted to stop by to thank you for everything you did for me. For my son.

[ Sigh ] We owe you.

Deacon: This is totally nuts. I mean, what the hell is thomas thinking here? From everything you’ve told me about this guy, it already seems like he’s missing the rice and beans off the combo platter. I mean, douglas is a part of your family now.

Hope: Yes, but thomas is douglas’s father, and he can revisit the custody agreement if he wants douglas to live with him.

Deacon: You’re not going to let this happen, right? You’re going to put a stop to it.

Liam: Well, there– there’s nothing to put a stop to yet. All thomas has done so far is float the idea.

Deacon: Liam, listen to me, all right. You got to get out in front of this. You’ve got to go on the offensive. Hope is douglas’ mother. He belongs with her. With your family. I mean, that’s where the little guys happiest, right? Right? Look, you cannot allow thomas to call the shots. Because if you do–

Hope: Dad, it’s okay. It’s okay. All right. I love that you care so much.

Deacon: Of course, ldre. I know how much you love that kid.

Hope: And he means a lot to thomas, too. I know he misses his son. I know that he loves his son.

Deacon: If he loves his son, if he wants to do what’s best for him, which is leaving him right where he is. Okay? Right where he is with you and liam and beth.

Steffy: It was sheila’s toe, thomas. And hair and blood. The dna matches.

Eric: I know this is hard for you to believe.

Thomas: Yeah. It’s just. You know, a part of me thinks or thought, I guess, that she would get away with it. I mean, she always has before. Why would this be any different?

Taylor: But this is different. It is.

Thomas: I guess I just need time for it to sink in. And what this means.

Brooke: What it means is that sheila is finally out of our lives for good. And our lives can go back to the way they were before she showed up out of the blue at finn and steffy’s wedding.

Finn: And that really was the start of this nightmare. This is the end.

Eric: What I hate is that I feel so responsible that I’m the one who brought her into our lives and into this family.

Brooke: Oh, eric, don’t do that. How could you have known all those years ago that she would end up doing the things that she did?

Taylor: That’s right. Sheila was such a cunning person.

Brooke: She was. But now we don’t have to worry about that. She’s gone. She’s finally gone. – Hey honey. – Hey dad.

Bill: You don’t owe me anything, li. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

Li: The alley behind the restaurant at the wharf?

Bill: Yeah. You were in obvious distress. You didn’t want to go to the hospital. So, I– I just did the next best thing.

Li: Brought me here. Took care of me.

Bill: I really didn’t do much.

Li: You called your friend, the doctor. You had him come by. Examine me. It’s very kind of you.

Bill: All right. Well, let’s– let’s keep that under wraps. I have a wicked reputation to protect. Anyway, if I had known you were finn’s mother.

Li: I was deeply traumatized. I didn’t even know who I was.

Bill: That’s completely understandable considering what you went through because of sheila carter.

Li: Yes. And that’s the other reason why I came. Not only to thank you for what you did for finn and me, but also to tell you about sheila. She’s dead.

Liam: Listen, hope and I totally agree here. Douglas is happy. He’s part of our family. He’s part of our life.

Hope: And as of right now, thomas can see douglas whenever he wants. Just uprooting douglas from everything that he knows and he loves, I just– I think it’s wrong for many reasons.

Deacon: Want me to talk to thomas? You know, maybe explain things to him?

Liam: Oh, oh, oh, no, no, no, no. Ah. Ah. Thank you. As satisfying as that would be, I think hope and i should handle this.

Deacon: I’m happy to do it.

Liam: Yeah, I bet you are.

Hope: Uh, dad, thank you for the offer. But I think this is something that liam and I should handle together.

Liam: Especially given that we don’t know that thomas is going to follow through on this one little comment he made, right?

Brooke: Oh.

Deacon: Hey.

Brooke: Hello, everybody.

Hope: Mom, what are you doing here?

Brooke: Oh. I didn’t– I knew you’re going to be here with liam because your sitter told me, but I didn’t know you’d be here with your father. So–

Deacon: Why– we just bumped into each other during my shift. Brooke, you okay? You look a little, I don’t know.

Brooke: Yes, I’m– I’m okay.

Deacon: Okay.

Brooke: Really. I’m– I’m relieved, actually. Uh. I am still in a bit of shock.

Deacon: What– what is going on?

Liam: Yeah. What happened?

Brooke: Well, it appears that we don’t have to worry about sheila carter anymore. She’s not going to harm our family ever again.

Hope: They arrested her?

Brooke: Well, they didn’t have to. Apparently, she already met her grisly death when they found her.

Ridge: Mauled by a bear. And the only thing that’s left of sheila is one toe. Sanchez just sent me a picture.

Taylor: Oh. Come on. Why?

Ridge: Why? Because I need a reminder that she can’t hurt us anymore.

Thomas: That feels good, actually.

Ridge: Yeah, it does, right? Where’s finn?

Steffy: He’s at the hospital getting checked out.

Ridge: Getting checked out? Is he– is he hiding something? Is there something going?

Steffy: No, no. He and the doctors are just being super cautious.

Taylor: Well, that’s good. They need to be super cautious. And he needs to take extra good care of himself, especially after everything he’s gone through.

Steffy: He is. Physically, he’s back to his normal self.

Taylor: How about emotionally, after hearing the news of sheila?

Ridge: Yeah, well, she did give birth to him.

Thomas: She also shot him.

Taylor: Yeah, but she gave birth to him.

Steffy: Which I’m not insensitive to. After what sheila did to the two of us, our– our family. But I have to believe that finn realizes sheila being gone is a blessing. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Bill: Sheila’s middle toe? And sanchez actually showed it to you?

Li: As you can imagine, it wasn’t the easiest to look at.

Bill: Oh, I’ll bet. I understand why he did it. I mean, sheila’s cheated death so many times that it’s hard to believe that it finally caught up with her.

Li: Between the dna from her toe and all the other evidence, there’s no question it was her.

Bill: Well, it is more than fitting that she met her demise being mauled by an animal. She was an animal herself. Thank you for telling me what happened.

Li: I wanted to be the one to tell you. But really, I came by to thank you. For everything you did for finn and me. I’ve heard the stories of how ruthless you can be. But you showed your kindness and compassion to a total stranger. And to me, that speaks volumes to the kind of man you truly are.

Liam: Oh, my god.

Brooke: I know. I felt the same way. But detective sanchez really had no choice. Ridge was very skeptical, even after hearing about the bear mauling and having sheila’s personal belongings found. He wanted more proof. We all did.

Hope: And sheila’s toe was it?

Brooke: We know what she was capable of. The detective said that her toe and all of the evidence that was found is conclusive. Sheila carter is dead. We don’t have to worry about her tormenting our family ever again. Her reign of terror is over. At long last.

Taylor: You know, this– this kind of feels too good to be true.

Thomas: Sheila gone from all our lives?

Taylor: But I feel like I should feel bad about it, you know? I mean, sheila was killed in such a horrific way.

Ridge: That’s poetic justice, really. When she attacked us so many times and tried to destroy our lives.

Steffy: She almost succeeded. She shot me. She shot finn. She tried to put an end to our love, our family. But it failed. Now, this is a new beginning for my husband and me. Not only that, it’s a– it’s a new beginning for all of us. You too, dad. Mom told me what happened in monaco.

Thomas: Wait. Hold on. What happened in monaco?

Steffy: Mom and dad kissed.

Thomas: What? Really? That’s awesome.

Taylor: No, steffy. This– this really– really isn’t the time.

Steffy: I think it is the perfect time. I really do. Because if I’ve learned something throughout all of this, I’ve learned seriously that life is fleeting. I almost lost finn, and I was absolutely devastated. But miraculously, he’s now with the children and me again. Just shows you that love can never be wasted. We should never take it for granted. That is why I’m telling you, dad, to look at mom. See her for the incredible woman that she is. I mean, hello. See the life in the future you two could have with each other. Because I know that you two think you shared this kiss because of what happened between finn and me. But the truth is, you two kissed because you love each other. And you love me.

Ridge: Love each other, yes. Not in love.

Steffy: Life is short, dad. Come on, don’t waste it. Go back to mom. We all know how much you love her. Come back to the forresters.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sally: And this was at Victoria’s house?

Chloe: Exactly.

Sally: What was Ashland doing there?

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

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

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

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

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

Victor: That’s the only logical explanation.

Amanda: I know. I know. I just — I — I needed to make sure that Naya had everything she needed, you know?

Devon: I know you did, and now that we’re back home, I can spoil you and get you all your favorite things and all your favorite foods. All the curly fries you can eat.

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

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

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

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

Mariah: Wow. Okay, fine.

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

Thank you. I love it.

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

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

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

Hey, you and I just saw father at the park, didn’t we? I heard him telling you how much he loves you and how he had to go away on a trip, but that he’d be back soon.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sally: That is not what I’m doing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Chloe: Good for you.

Sally: But then I also

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

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

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

Chance: Thank you. Well, good morning, victoria.

Victoria: Hello, chance. How are you?

Chance: Not too bad. How about yourself?

Victoria: Dragging a little. It was a late night with the kids. None of us could get any sleep.

Chance: Yeah, well, I’m sorry. I’m sure they’re feeling the loss of ashland.

Victoria: They’re coping, considering the circumstances.

Chance: Well, it’s good they have so much support. You know, when you’re investigating a death, sometimes you forget how many people it affects.

Victoria: Yes, that’s very true. Like ashland, who was not well-liked. To be honest, he left behind a lot of grief and pain. Your investigation isn’t really helping matters.

Chance: You know I’m just doing my job, right? I know it might seem heartless, but somebody’s gotta do it.

Victoria: I understand. I can handle your questions. I’m not intimidated by you.

Chance: Well, good, ’cause that’s not my intention. You know, honestly, nothing would make me feel better than to just close the book on this thing and move on.

Victoria: Well, if you really feel that way, then why don’t you put a stop to this investigation right now?

Abby: Thank you.

Adam: Hello, abby.

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

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

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

Abby: Nowhere in this town.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Adam: You caught me.

Abby: Yeah. I knew you were buttering me up for something more than just the crab puffs, so, please, what would you like to talk about?

Adam: The death of ashland locke.

Sally: I understand that. Yes, chloe filled me in. But we need that data, jacob. I am meeting with three big advertisers next week, and i need to inform them who our audience is. If they like what they hear, they give us more money, which, in turn, I can pay you to do your job. If they don’t like what they hear, what happens? That’s right. So it is imperative that I get that data before the weekend. Yeah, I know you can do it. Just do it twice as fast. Oh. I didn’t hear you come in.

Victor: You and I have not spoken since you became C.E.O. Of newman media. I think we should talk.

Chance: Look, you and I both know it’s not that easy. I-I can’t just drop an investigation like this.

Victoria: You know, yesterday, you were talking about seeking the real truth and being devoted to the ideals of justice. But what exactly does that mean in this case?

Chance: Well, I’d love to hear your perspective on that.

Victoria: You have this notion that my father orchestrated this fake car accident. Why he would do that, I have no idea. You’ve gathered all of this information. You’ve talked to everyone about that night. You’ve done all of this work to support your theory, but you have absolutely no evidence to back it up. So I have to wonder, where is this headed?

Chance: You know I can’t tell you that.

Victoria: But if you really thought that ashland was dead before he was put into that car, are you going after my father for obstruction, or are you disputing nick’s account that he hit ashland in self-defense? You wouldn’t really, really accuse nicholas of killing ashland in cold blood and then conspiring with my father to come up with some cover story.

Chance: I never accused them of that.

Victoria: No. No, but I can tell that’s where you’re headed. You can’t accept that ashland’s death was an accident no matter where it happened. So what is your endgame? You wouldn’t go so far as to charge nick with murder, would you? Hi, I’m karen.

Nick: What’s going on?

Victoria: Well, I was just asking chance about his investigation. I wanted to know if he was prepared to ask the D.A. To charge you with murder.

Chance: [ Scoffs ] I have to admit, I admire your bluntness.

Victoria: Well, I’m just trying to figure out where your head is at. I mean, you said that you were on our side… but now it seems like you’re determined to prove that some sort of crime was committed. So I would appreciate an answer to my question about my brother.

Nick: I’d like that, too.

Chance: Okay. Well, I believe that you two acted out of good faith when you called me. I also believe that you had no intent to harm ashland. Whatever happened, it was an accident.

Nick: Yes, it was.

Victoria: Then why isn’t this matter settles? Because the way you just explained it, the case is closed.

Chance: Because we still do not know what happened from the time ashland was lying on your floor to the moment we found him in that ravine.

Nick: We have told you all the information we know.

Chance: And I’m not gonna tell you my next steps ’cause they will be informed by the outcome of my investigation. But you two should know, the more brazenly defiant you are, the more certain I am that I am on the right track — that you know what happened and you’re covering up for your father.

Abby: What’d you order?

Adam: Uh, the huevos con chorizo, with the verde sauce.

Abby: Mmm. You won’t be disappointed.

Adam: I hope not. So, what do you know about ashland’s death?

Abby: Not much more than anyone else. I was shocked. Weren’t you?

Adam: Uh, yes and no. I mean, when he came back to town, I got the sense that something terrible could happen, but I didn’t expect the guy was gonna turn up dead.

Abby: Yeah, it was awful, but I’m not gonna shed a tear for that man. I just hope that victoria gets some closure soon.

Adam: Me too. I haven’t had a chance to talk to her yet. And I think that my condolences would be welcomed. I’m sure she’s grateful to have your support. Does she seem okay?

Abby: W-we just talked over the phone, but it’s been rough.

Adam: Rough for her. Not so rough for our father.

Abby: What does that mean?

Adam: Well, he doesn’t seem too broken up about what happened, does he?

Abby: How would you expect him to react? Ashland put our family through hell. What, you think dad should be mourning?

Adam: Good point.

Abby: I just hope to never hear the name ashland locke ever again.

Adam: Well, that’s gonna be pretty unlikely, given the fact that your husband is investigating his death. I mean, that has to put you in a difficult position.

Abby: Why would you say that?

Adam: Look, abby, we don’t have to tiptoe around it, okay? I talked to chance. I know that he has his doubts about the so-called car accident. Now, that raises some questions for me, and I get the sense that it does for you, too.

Sally: I was wondering when you’d stop by. I thought it would’ve been earlier.

Victor: I’ve been a bit preoccupied.

Sally: So I’ve heard. I know you wish this office was still adam’s, not mine.

Victor: I got to tell you, I’m a little disappointed that you weren’t able to convince adam to stay on board.

Sally: I was hoping for the same.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Sally: But adam made it very clear that this job was not a good fit for him right now, and he felt the same way about our relationship.

Victor: Hmm.

Sally: I’m grateful that nick and victoria decided to keep me on. And, you know, they gave me a chance. It really means a lot to me.

Victor: I’m sure it does.

Sally: I know you’re skeptical, but I am determined to prove that I deserve this opportunity they gave me.

Victor: Well, that is what i came to talk about, okay? Sleek

Victor: I want you to know that I’ve been very pleased with how you’ve handled the ashland locke story.

Sally: Well, there’s really not much of a story if you only read the police report.

Victor: But you know there are a few more details.

Sally: What sort of details?

Victor: [ Chuckles ] I think, you know.

Sally: As I mentioned to nick, I do not feel compelled to publish anything about ashland showing up to victoria’s house before the accident. After all, the story is still unfolding, and the gcpd hasn’t even commented on that aspect of the situation.

Victor: You’ve handled the story so far with great restraint, great discretion. And if I were you, I would follow those instincts.

Sally: I will do my best.

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

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

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

Sally: It’s really inspiring.

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

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

Victor: Why don’t you get back to your work, all right? You have a nice day.

You, too.

Abby: How was your breakfast?

Adam: It was delicious, as always. That verde sauce is a religious experience.

Abby: I will be sure to pass along your compliments to the chef. Hey, uh, what exactly did chance tell you about ashland’s accident?

Adam: He was tight-lipped, of course. You know, it’s an ongoing investigation, but I heard enough. Just the fact he’s investigating says a lot. I know that he’s even brought kevin into it. So you’re not betraying anyone’s confidence by admitting there’s more to the story.

Abby: Maybe not, but… I really don’t know much.

Adam: Look, abby, if you’re worried that the nightmare of ashland locke isn’t over for the people that you love, so am I. I’m just trying to help.

Abby: Adam, I can see through you. I know that you’re fishing for information, and I won’t give it to you.

Adam: Won’t? Or can’t? Okay. From what I gather, victoria hasn’t told you anything. And since you answered my query about dad with a question, that leads me to believe that you haven’t talked to him. And on top of that, you didn’t have much to say even about the most superficial aspects of what chance is doing. Which leads me to conclude that no one is telling you anything. You’re just as much on the outside as I am.

Abby: Look, you’re just saying that because you want me to tell you something.

Adam: I’m not trying to start a fight, really. I’m just — I’m calling it like I see it. They’re keeping information from both of us, abby. You know, I think we should team up. We should pool our resources. And if one of us hear’s something, we share it with the other person. Deal?

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Adam: All right. Keep in touch.

Nick: Look, chance, we understand that you want the facts. Here’s what I can tell you for certain. Nobody wanted ashland to die. But he was not a good person. You know that. He started this entire chain of events when he went after victoria and was terrorizing her. And I was glad to be there to protect my sister. Abby’s sister. And you know what? I would do it again in a heartbeat. When vic and I heard that ashland was found in his car, we had no reason to believe that he didn’t just get up off the floor, walk out to his car, and drive away. His death was accidental. It is the tragic ending to a terrible story. What more do you need to hear to accept it?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Chance: Excuse me. It’s abby. Give me a second. Hey. What’s going on?

Abby: I know you’re busy, but do you have any time to meet with me? It’s important.

Chance: Yeah, yeah. I was about to head back to the station. I can come by now. Are you at society?

Abby: I could use some fresh air. Meet me at the park?

Chance: All right. I’ll be right there.

Abby: I’ll see you soon.

Chance: Okay. I apologize. I have to run.

Victoria: Do you have anything to add before you go?

Chance: I think we’ve all said more than enough.

I like to v ost it, v ost it

Nick: The situation is getting worse by the minute. I hate it. I have nightmares every night. I see ashland’s lifeless body. It’s haunting me. It’s like his ultimate revenge.

Victoria: I don’t think that all hope is lost. I think chance is more conflicted than he’s actually letting on. I think he wants to help us.

Nick: Where are you getting that read? I don’t see that at all.

Chance: He seemed very sympathetic to what we’re going through before you arrived. Look, he’s not happy about having to look into this. He doesn’t want to see any of us go to jail.

Nick: Well, I think you’re falling victim to wishful thinking.

Victoria: Look, chance is gonna do the right thing. It’s who he is. Everybody knows it.

Nick: By “right,” you mean what?

Victoria: He’ll side with the family. We’ve done nothing wrong.

Nick: You think dad thinks that, too?

Victoria: I think he will go right along with what my opinion is, which is when given the choice, chance will always put family first.

Nick: I’m not so sure. I think we should go out to the ranch and tell dad that we had a run-in with chance, just so he knows we’re keeping him in the loop.

Victoria: Okay. But before we go there, there’s something that you should know, so that you’ll be prepared.

Chance: Hey. Is everything okay?

Abby: I’m not sure.

Chance: What’s going on?

Abby: We need to talk about ashland’s car accident.

Chance: Oh, abby, you know i can’T.

Abby: No chance, please. Just let me get this out. I know that you are keeping something from me, and I get it. I know you’re not supposed to talk about ongoing investigations, but I need to know what’s going on. Nikki was acting so weird yesterday. Nick and victoria, they haven’t said a word, and my dad is pretty much unreachable. And oddly enough, the only member of the newman family that will have a real conversation with me is adam.

Chance: When did you talk to him?

Abby: Right before I called you. He thinks that there’s something going on.

Chance: Okay, listen. I will tell you everything. I promise. As soon as we close this case. I promise.

Abby: I don’t think I can wait that long. I have this sick feeling in my stomach. So, please, can you tell me something, anything that will make it go away?

Chance: I’m so sorry. I did not mean to upset you. I really didn’T. And I — I know how unfair this is for you. I didn’t want to burden you with everything while I was still piecing everything together, you know? But I’m at a crossroads now.

Abby: About what?

Chance: I’m gonna share some confidential information with you.

Abby: Okay. Yes, I promise I will keep it to myself.

Chance: But this affects your family. Especially your dad. I don’t think it’s gonna be easy for you to hear.

[ Knock on door ]

Sally: Come in.

Adam: Thanks for the invitation.

Sally: Wow. I’m getting all sorts of visitors today. What brings you into enemy territory? Have you reconsidered cutting ties with newman?

Adam: Oh. Absolutely not. I, um… I’m here on a fact-finding mission only.

Sally: What would you like to know?

Adam: Well, I was hoping to find out what trouble my father has gotten the family into.

Sally: With regard to…?

Adam: Ashland locke. Of course.

Sally: I haven’t read or heard anything about victor being involved with the accident.

Adam: Oh. Come on, sally.

Sally: I think you’re jumping to conclusions. Probably in an attempt to paint your father in the worst possible light, which I find a little presumptuous of you to ask me to help you with that.

Adam: What, are you — are you on his side now because he’s signing your checks?

Sally: There are no sides. There’s just the truth.

Adam: Wow. That’s — that’s some world-class integrity. But, look, you don’t have to put on a show for me. You already admitted that you have insider information about the crash from nick. So would you like to share that with me now?

Sally: I already turned down that request. Did you forget?

Adam: No, but I was hoping that you might change your mind.

Sally: Not a chance. But I’m really glad that you put me in a position to tell you that you’re being pathetic for trying again.

Adam: Look… I hurt you, obviously. But our relationship had run its course, and our breakup had a added side benefit. You got to keep your job. So if you look at it that way, you should be grateful that I ended things.

Sally: But I told you that I didn’t want the job if that’s how I needed to get it.

Adam: Yeah. And yet you are still here. Look, surely we can come up with some sort of arrangement. A payment in exchange for your intel.

Sally: I have plenty of money now that I’m the C.E.O.

Adam: Maybe, uh… some kind of favor? Little quid pro quo?

Sally: Now you’ve got my attention.

Adam: Do you have something in mind?

Sally: I will tell you what you want to know about the ashland locke story if you finally admit that the sole reason you broke up with me was to get me this job. And that you still love me. Better skin from your body wash?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Come on, sally, this is just — it’s ludicrous. Well, I mean, why don’t you just slip me a note that says, “do you like me? Check yes or no,” written on it, okay?

Sally: Janelle, get me some paper with some little hearts printed on it and a pen with pink ink. I have a note to write.

Adam: You know, you don’t have a receptionist out there, right?

Sally: Well, if I did, her name would be janelle, and she would bring me office supplies. That was cute and funny. And you thought it was charming.

Chloe: I thought we got rid of you.

Adam: Chloe. Always a pleasure.

Chloe: You don’t work here anymore.

Sally: It’s okay, chloe. This is important.

Chloe: Okay. Well, no matter how important it is, it can wait. I have something more urgent.

Sally: Okay. We have to figure this out.

Adam: Actually, it’s — it’s okay. Um, we can finish this later. I’ll be in, uh — in touch.

Sally: What the hell was that?

Chloe: Yeah, I was gonna ask you the same thing. I can read a room. I recognize that look in your eyes. There was hope. A longing. It was disgusting.

Sally: I’m not gonna apologize for having feelings.

Chloe: We just talked about how adam didn’t deserve any of your emotional bandwidth. What happened to the idea of leaving the past in the past, of letting the world know what we’re capable of and making a name for ourselves? Why would you sacrifice a drop of that success for another chance with adam?

Abby: So you think that nick killed ashland?

Chance: Not on purpose. Self-defense.

Abby: And that my dad staged a car accident to cover it up?

Chance: Mm-hmm. No, I don’t think nick and victoria had any part of that. Victor acted on his own to protect them.

Abby: Oh, my god. They called you that night.

Chance: I think they were trying to do the right thing. But now I think they found out what victor did. It’s their turn to protect him.

Abby: Do you have any proof?

Chance: Right now, it’s just a theory, but the circumstantial evidence I have, it backs it up.

Abby: This is unbelievable.

Chance: Is it? I mean, don’t think this is something your dad would do?

Abby: Okay, yes, it does sound like a move right out of his playbook. But you just said you don’t have anything concrete.

Chance: Yes. If I dig hard enough, abby, I am certain I can find something.

Abby: Then what will you do?

Chance: [ Breathes deeply ] You know, victoria asked me the same thing. She said I can just walk away right now, close the case. I mean, she stressed the fact that ashland’s death was an accident. But if I just — if I turn my cheek on what victor did… I mean, he committed a crime. Abby, where does that end?

Abby: Right there. If you let it.

Chance: Baby, you know, I take my job very seriously. I hold myself to a higher standard. You know that. I can’t just let a criminal walk away. But this isn’t just another case. This is your family. So now I desperately need to know what you’re thinking.

Nick: Dad?

Victor: Good. You’re both here.

Victoria: You sound like you were expecting us.

Victor: I have, indeed. I want to talk to both of you. This is a good time. There’s no one to overhear us.

Nick: What’s going on?

Victor: Had an interesting conversation with your mother last night. She told me about ashland locke’s body being removed from victoria’s home and put into a car and subsequently crashed into the ravine. Now, only about half a dozen people in the world knew about this. I certainly am not the one who wanted your mother to find out about it.

Trelegy for copd.

Nick: So, mom was pretty upset?

Victor: Yeah, because i didn’t tell her. But she understood why I did what I did. All right?

Nick: You wanted to keep us all in the dark?

Victor: Yes. To protect all of you. Your mother wouldn’t have known about any of this if victoria hadn’t told her.

Victoria: She already knew you were hiding something.

Victor: You shouldn’t have done it. As much as you, nicholas, shouldn’t have told your sister about it.

Nick: I cannot believe you think you could keep that information from victoria. She had a right to know.

Victoria: Just like mom does.

Victor: Listen to me carefully. You are now accessories to the crime because you have knowledge of it. So is your mother. Do you understand? You are now in danger.

Nick: Well, maybe you should have thought of that before you put this plan in motion. It was a big decision.

Victor: Don’t be wise-ass with me, okay? I did what I did because I had to, on the spur of the moment.

Nick: We should have been consulted. Instead, you acted alone.

Victor: Because I wanted to protect you. I always want to protect you. Instead of showing some appreciation, you attacked me.

Abby: Thank you for finally telling me what’s going on. And for asking my advice on what to do. But I think you already know what I’m gonna say.

Chance: I can’t be sure. That’s why we’re having this conversation.

Abby: Ashland was a deceitful, despicable bastard. He wreaked havoc on my sister, on my family, on this whole town. And if nick hadn’t stopped him, he might have killed victoria. And, no, I do not condone what my father did. But I understand it. He didn’t want nick to be punished for something that wasn’t his fault. We have all suffered enough because of ashland.

Chance: You want me to back off?

Abby: No. No, I-I — I can’t do that to you. I can’t do that to us. If I asked you to close this case, and then you did it, and then someday, down the road, you wake up and you regret that decision… you have a strong sense of what’s right and what’s wrong. And I know sometimes it’s hard to know which is which, but if you really look inside yourself… you’ll know, and you will know what to do, but… it has to be your call.

Chance: I love you so much. I love how honest and open we can be with each other.

Abby: So do I.

Chance: And you’re right. This is my decision.

Abby: Well, I have to get going. I have to take dominic to a mommy and me class.

Chance: Don’t keep him waiting.

Abby: I won’T. I love you.

Chance: I love you.

Adam: Chance.

Chance: Adam. Wow, man. Seems like you are everywhere today. Understand you talked to my wife.

Adam: We, uh, had an interesting chat.

Chance: I know what you’re doing. I’m not gonna answer any questions about locke.

Adam: All right. Well, that’s fine, because I wasn’t gonna ask you any. But I have an offer for you, one that I think you’ll find very interesting.

Sally: You’ve got it all wrong, chloe.

Chloe: I don’t think so. The way you and adam were looking at each other, something was up.

Sally: It was business. It was a negotiation.

Chloe: For what?

Sally: Information. Adam is looking for dirt on his family, and he knows I have the scoop from nick about what happened the night ashland died.

Chloe: So that’s what he wanted. What did you ask for in return?

Sally: Not much. I just wanted him to admit the real reason why he broke things off between us. It’s not what you think.

Chloe: I think you’re playing with fire.

Sally: I am in control. I’m not ignoring how he broke my heart or how he betrayed my trust.

Chloe: Good. That’s all you need to know. That he hurt you.

Sally: I want the truth from him. I want to know that I’m not crazy. We had something. That might not make sense to you, but it is what i would like from him.

Chloe: It makes some sense. You need real closure. And how could you trust your feelings in another relationship if you read the room so badly with him?

Sally: Exactly. And for the record, I was not looking to get back together with him.

Chloe: Good.

Sally: I was just looking to free myself of all of my self-doubt.

Chloe: That’s all terrific. But you’re willing to sell out nick’s confidence for it?

Sally: I don’t intend to hold up my end of the bargain. I’m totally gonna lie to adam once he comes clean with me. I was just gonna tell him that I don’t know anything about ashland and that it was all just a big tease.

Chloe: Oh, no. No.

Sally: What?

Chloe: I’m just glad I came when I did. So I could interrupt that transaction. You can’t do that to adam. He will be furious. And he will make it his life’s mission to make you regret it. Okay everyone,

Sally: I think you’re exaggerating. Adam would not react like that.

Chloe: You’re right. It’ll be worse.

Sally: After what he did to me, he has no right to be angry with me about playing him for the truth.

Chloe: Yeah, if he were a logical, rational person. But he’s not.

Sally: You have a history with him. You’re always gonna see him through a certain lens.

Chloe: A very clear lens from a very long distance.

Sally: He’s changed, chloe.

Chloe: He appears to have changed. But he’s done this before, and he always reverts back to who he is. You’ve heard the stories about his past, but unless you have really experienced him at his worst, then you will never truly grasp what he’s capable of. It’s just not worth the risk to find out how he really felt about you. So just forget that he stopped by. Forget this dangerous plan. Forget adam altogether.

Victoria: No one’s attacking you, dad.

Victor: You could’ve fooled me, sweetheart.

Victoria: We just want to make sure that we’re all on the same page moving forward.

Nick: Yeah. We had another run-in with chance. Dad, he’s not gonna let this go.

Victoria: I asked him to close the investigation, but he has this theory about what happened that night, and it’s actually pretty close to what actually happened.

Victor: I don’t give a damn about his theory. There’s no way he can substantiate that, okay? Ashland locke died in the ravine in his car. Period.

Nick: Okay. What should we do?

Victor: You do nothing. We present a united front from now on. If we do, we will come out of this investigation unscathed. Chance will move on. We move on. We put this chapter — this tragic chapter — finally behind us.

Chance: All right. Go ahead. What’s your offer?

Adam: Chance, I know you were looking into the events around locke’s death, but it’s not adding up, is it? Now, I would guess your suspicions about that night revolve around one person — victor. Now, I have questions about his involvement, too.

Chance: Get to the point.

Adam: Look, you’re in a tough spot. You have your wife and your in-laws on one side of the equation and your need to uncover the truth on the other side. I know how much that must be eating you up. I know how seriously you take your oath to serve justice.

Chance: I do.

Adam: Well, I don’t think you’re gonna get very far in your search for knowledge. My father is way too good at covering things up. You need someone on the inside.

Chance: And that’s you.

Adam: I know all his tricks. I can help you discover what happened that night. Chance, I’m telling you, you let me into this investigation, and maybe I can help you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

uncle sonny, I hate that I’m putting everyone through this again. But I asked for help to get out of spring ridge so that I could visit my mother’s grave. I — I can’t repay that favor by naming names. That’s your call, but you got to understand something — the da is not gonna appreciate a teenager who, you know, got through prison security. They’re gonna want answers, atonement. Right. Right. 30 days at pentonville. Great. Or longer. What, you’re saying that they’re gonna throw the book at me? I’m not saying that you’re re-serving your sentence for what you did to ava. I’m saying that this is about you busting through custody. That’s a whole other crime. So what are you gonna do? Are you gonna be the state’s sacrificial lamb? Or are you gonna sacrifice someone else? Okay, it’s now or never. Are you ready? Are you? Look, baby, we don’t have to do this if you’re having any doubts. Is there any other way to let the jury know that esme bought that phone from oz haggerty? No, there isn’T. Then let’s do this. One mango mule mocktail, ma’am. Thank you. Mm-hmm. Such perfect weather today. I hope it stays like this all summer. Let’s hope I can enjoy it for more than an hour a day. Is that a prison joke? Was it funny? Okay, this isn’t working, is it? Don’t get me wrong. I know I should not be spending every waking moment dreading this verdict. And I really appreciate you trying to distract me, but — but I’m failing miserably, aren’t I? Yeah. But don’t let me stop you from having a good… …time. Sorry! I thought I would be more fashionably late than this.

[ Chuckles ] Come on. I was treating spinelli to a pedicure. Oh, should I be jealous? Of me or spinelli? Uh, why would i be jealous of you? What’s there to be jealous of at all? Yes, spinelli and i have a child and a history and an eternally abiding friendship, but romantically, I’m with you. And I’m happy where I am. That’s nice to hear. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] This is where you return the compliment. You’ll do.

[ Gasps ] I’m just kidding. My goodness.

[ Chuckles ] Me and ms. Jones, we got a thing going on.

[ Gasps ] Wait till you see what I have on underneath this. Oh, lucy. Why wait? Let’s get out of here, hmm? Mmm. Come on. Mmph. Come on. Mnh. Oh. I love your spontaneity and all your enthusiasm, but I haven’t eaten. Could we just get a little bite to eat? I’m starving. About that — why don’t we forgo the wings, as finger-lickin’ as they may be, and feast on mofongo in the dominican republic? Or poutine in toronto? You can show me your unmentionables at 10,000 feet. Wow. What has gotten into you? I like it, but I have to admit, I’m a tad bit suspicious. Lucy, I have to leave town, and I want you to come with me. Make sure to check the badges of all medical personnel with access. Curtis. Portia. I was looking for you. Hey, jordan. Uh, did you, um, find out anything new about what we had talked about? Okay, you can stop now, curtis. I know why you’re both here, and I won’t allow it.

Why do you have to leave town? Well, it’s nothing, really. It’s just a pressing matter out of town that I could take care of from anywhere, and I thought my lovely lady might like to be with me wherever I am when I do the thing that I’d rather not do here.

[ Chuckles ] I’m being coerced. What? But — okay. By whom? By anna devane. Anna d– what? Are you in possession of some sort of state secrets or something? Come on. Listen, when I wrote my guide to port charles, I noted that, you know, anna really can’t be too judgy about those. I’m serious. She wants me to break attorney/client privilege. Oh, is that all? What do you mean, “is that all?” Well, that’s nothing. I have the perfect solution. Which is? You tell her no. Ta-da. Problem solved. Do you, of all people, not understand how coercion works? See also extortion, blackmail, putting the screws to. Yes, I know how coercion works. And if I’ve learned anything from being a “coercee,” it’s that literally the truth shall set you free. Not this time.

[ Sighs ] Okay. Whatever anna has on you can’t be that bad that you can’t just be a phoenix and rise from the wreckage above your life. I don’t want to rise from the wreckage. But that’s what wreckage is for. I don’t want anything to do with wreckage. Okay, fine. What is it that anna really has on you? It’s a little economic subterfuge concerning my ex-wives. All of them? Yes, all of them. And believe you me, one on one, they’re bad enough. As a group, they make medea look like betty rubble. Wow. I can see why you married them. Well, if anna rats me out, I will be raked over the coals, emotionally and financially. Okay, here’s what we’re going to do. You, sir, are not going to back down. You’re going to simply tell your ex-wives and anna that you are your own man — that you are noble and steadfast like a mountain, and you are not going to back down, ever. Now, which client does anna want dirt on? Valentin. I’ll help you pack. So, um, tell me, how is my self-proclaimed arch-nemesis? Smitten, apparently. Yeah, no kidding. You knew about britt? About britt — britt westbourne? No. No, I didn’t — no way. Really? Who did you think I was talking about? Well, I mean, from his behavior, I knew that spinelli had it bad for somebody, but, no, I never figured it was britt. Well, what do you mean? Well, I mean, britt’s great, but I’ve just never seen him look at her like that. Well, maybe you just don’t know him well enough to see it. Right. Uh, forget it. This is a waste of our valuable time together. And we are here to discuss a plan that will probably fail to get georgie to stop hating me. Georgie does not hate you. Okay, so the last time I talked to your daughter, she asked me, “do you know what happens to matter when it’s consumed by a black hole?” She is her father’s daughter. And I said, “no, I don’t know. Nobody knows.” And she said, “want to find out?” And also her mother’S. Help me. [ Chuckles ] I mean, kids love me, right? James loves me, bailey loves me. That sweet little leo, he goes out of his way to try and spend time with me. And I — with georgie, I just… I don’t get it. What did I do? Nothing. Nothing at all. She just needs to spend time with you. Which is why our impending weekend getaway is perfect, and you said you found a place, right? I did. “Family fun time.”

[ Clap hands ] It’s got a lazy river and — and a waterslide, and georgie’ll love that because she’s — she loves swimming, and it’s got the biggest ball pit on the east coast. I think james might like that. Yeah, yeah. I — I love this. Um, are you ready? Well, yeah. I mean, I think from a bacterial standpoint, the ball pit, we’ll have to sanitize. No, no, no, no. I-I wasn’t asking if you were ready for biological ball pit warfare. I, uh… I guess I’m asking if… you are ready for a family. You want to talk to this patient the moment he wakes up, but that hasn’t happened yet, and there’s no telling when or even if it will. I’ve assigned officer cabrera, and he will notify you the moment mr. Haggerty opens his eyes. And we really appreciate that, jordan, we do. Yeah. I mean, we know your inquiry was off the record. Um, we’re definitely not trying to get you in trouble. You know what? I-I have the discretion to assign manpower here at the hospital as I see fit, and, uh, since mr. Haggerty is believed to be the victim of a crime and the perpetrator has yet to be caught, I can more than justify extra security for him. Yeah. And — and, rory, I appreciate you being here, man, but I’d be more than happy to keep watch. And I can help. I-I-I can help monitor the patient. Oz haggerty may be able to exonerate trina. The person who drugged him may try again, so why don’t you want him protected? Who’s the hottie? You know him? I do. How, exactly? Joss. Dex. About yesterday… uh, forget about it. I’d like to. Will you? Uh, forget about what? There is only one person responsible for me escaping from spring ridge, and that’s me. Now I have to hope that, whether it’s 30 days or 365, the people who I care about will be there waiting for me when I get out, and either way, I’m gonna deal with it. Atta boy. And I appreciate the survival tips and the protection. Thank you. Anything within my means. No, I’m serious. It’s big of you, considering I called you out for intimidating esme.

[ Chuckling ] You gave quite a performance. No, I mean, it was like — I thought you were out of your mind for a second. Yeah, you’re not the only one. I know that there are people who I hurt and pushed away while I was trying to trap esme, and I have a lot of amends to make as a result, so… as far as we go, we’re good. I appreciate that. You’ve always stood by me. We’re family. We are. Which is why I’m hoping you’ll do one more thing for me.

It’s just that spending a few hours with my kids, that’s one thing. But playing family for an entire weekend, that’s a commitment. And I understand if you’re not ready to take that on yet. Maxie, look, family has always been a complicated concept for me. I know. But I know how important your family is to you, and I would love a chance to see if I fit into it somehow.

[ Cellphone ringing ] I — I gotta take this. B.R.B. Can I get you something to drink or are you ready to order? Um, you know what? I’m not sure and I don’t what my date wants, but — oh, we can ask him. What do you want to order? Uh, yeah, about that. I can’t stay. I… you think maybe you could give us a second? Okay. Is it a work thing? Uh, ish. That was my property manager in pautuck. There’s been an incident at one of the cabins, and I need to head up there. How bad is it that the property manager can’t handle it? I don’t know. That’s what I aim to find out. Okay. All right, then, we’ll take a rain check on lunch. Yeah, it’s not just lunch. I’ll probably be gone for a couple of days. Wait a second. Are you saying you’re canceling the weekend with my kids? Wait, wait, so y-you agree with me? We should just get out of port charles till this whole thing blows over. Well, you really can’t betray valentin. He will unleash holy hell. Are you kidding? Knowing valentin, he’d find a way to get me to represent him in a case against myself.

[ Scoffs ] Okay, well, what would happen if anna tells your ex-wives what she knows? What’s worse than holy hell? Ex-wives with really good lawyers? Okay. Okay. So tell me about this financial subterfuge. Is it like these offshore accounts somewhere? No, no, no, it’s nothing like that. It’s not — there’s no stash in the cayman islands, it’s just most of the money’s been spent taking care of my mother. I just felt that my earnings should benefit the only woman who’s ever really cared about me. Excuse me. Not the only woman. So you don’t hate me? No, I don’t hate you. Please. I — I, in fact, have done far worse. Far, far, far, far worse. You know, somewhere in the middle, that stopped making me feel better. Yeah, well, and it wasn’t for the benefit of a beloved, aging parent either. Alright, so we’re agreed. Whither shall we go, beach or mountains? Hey, anywhere with you would be absolutely divine, but I — I can’t come along. There’s too much to do with deception, and I’m afraid you’re going to be on your own, and you’ll have to wait to see my unmentionables. I wasn’t able to help trina, but maybe you can. What do you have in mind? If anyone can exonerate trina, it’s esme. Now, I took my best shot and I missed, but I know that you will do better. I’m not sure what you’re asking me. Nothing illegal. Look, my dad said that she took off. I’m just hoping that you can use your considerable resources to bring her back. That’s it. Ava mentioned esme. She was kind of vague. What I can do is I can go find esme and bring her back, but it seems to me that she’s long gone. Uncle sonny, trina’s jury could come back with a guilty verdict any time now. You may be her last chance. You’re facing a stint in maximum security, and your priority is trina? Yeah. She’s my friend. Whether she considers me one or not. Let me make you feel more comfortable. I am doing everything I can for trina. You are? Can you tell me what? You gotta focus on yourself.

[ Sighs ] And — and don’t forget… …head down, mouth shut.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ] Hi. I’m trina. Trina robinson. Oh, you’ve heard of me. Great. Only good things. Thanks. Clearly, you’re not a news junkie. [ Laughs ] But, uh, quick, tell me your name before joss blurts it out. I’m dex heller. It’s a pleasure to meet you, trina. Nice to meet you, too. Well, I just came by to say hi. I’ll let you get back to it. Well, he seems nice enough. I don’t know what he seems. So, how do you…?

[ Sighs ] He works for sonny. Ah. Well, in that case, why is he asking to forget about what happened yesterday? And what did happen yesterday? There’s something I think you should know. Of course we want mr. Haggerty protected. And who better to do that — than rory? I’m sorry, officer cabrera. Look, I’m really sorry that I’m a little bit…

[ Stammers ] I-I just — I really haven’t been sleeping that well. I — and the jury’s been deliberating, all that. Yeah, and it’s the uncertainty of everything —

is to ensure that mr. Haggerty can testify on the record. So I want to thank you, jordan. I really do. A-and you too, rory. Happy to help, dr. Robinson. Officer cabrera, I need to have a word with dr. Robinson and mr. Ashford. I’ll be right back. Um… commissioner, did we do something wrong? Not that I’m aware of. I wanted to speak to you privately because I tried to call esme in for questioning. Unfortunately, it seems she’s nowhere to be found. Esme skipped town? It’s hard to say, but I thought you two should know. Even if mr. Haggerty wakes up and points fingers at esme as the perp, it may prove challenging to bring her to justice. Okay. Let’s just focus on one problem at a time. Okay? If oz haggerty officially names another person of interest, I mean, that still looks good for trina. Yes. Assuming he wakes up. In the meantime [Sighs] Do something with yourself. Go somewhere else. At least leave the building and get some fresh air and some sunshine. Oz haggerty is in good hands. Officer cabrera will make sure that nobody gets past him.

Whatever this is, I’m really hopeful that it’ll be over and done and then I can get back here for our weekend plan. Okay. I’m glad to hear that. But if for some reason you get held up, I can always bring the kids to pautuck. No, you don’t need to do that. Or not. Is there something you don’t want me to see in pautuck, or do you not want pautuck to see me? No, I just don’t want — you don’t need to make that drive. It’s not that far. Okay, look, I don’t know how long whatever this is is going to take, but don’t waste your time. Okay, well, it’s true that my past experience in your town is somewhat checkered. I would really like to get to know the pautuck that you love. And I would love for us to do that some other time when — when I’m not distracted by other people’s problems. So what you’re saying is… that I want to be distracted by our problems. Maxie, yeah, I don’t — I don’t want to let you down. Okay. Well, the only way you could let me down is if you weren’t honest with me. So I need you to tell me, austin — what’s this spur-of-the-moment trip really about? I never thought I’d be disappointed to hear that esme skipped town. Where do you think she ran off to? Europe, maybe? It’s possible. It’s also possible that she’s still in town and not as friendless as we thought. Well, if she’s hiding, she’s not confessing. Um, well, you know what? Getting esme to confess was a long shot anyway. Let’s face it — esme’s disappearance doesn’t have a direct effect on the case. Right now, there’s only one thing that I can think of that’s going to make a damn bit of difference. Yeah. And he’s being guarded right now. But rory, he has to take a break eventually, though, right? Something like that? Yeah, and he’ll likely be replaced by another officer. Look, jordan is incredibly thorough, so that room is never going to go unguarded. Well, then maybe we could — we could — we could come up with some sort of distraction. Without tipping rory off? An outside distraction, then. We don’t need any other outside involvement. Well, there’s got to be some way that I can get around rory and into that room. Because if there isn’t, I don’t know what else I can do. Did, um… josslyn tell trina who you met with yesterday? I don’t think so. Otherwise, trina would have reacted, but there’s no telling whether joss’ll say something down the line. I tried to feel her out, but she shut me down. That’s josslyn. That’s why I figured you might want to handle it. Yeah, you figured right. I’ve run into dex a couple of times. Where? Around. Here’s a thought — you and rory. That’s rather a nice thought. Say more. What’s there to say? You two just hung out again. Say that. Tell me everything. Well, he brought me here to the pool after dark. Yes, I know. How? Wait, you helped him? Yes. Well, my mom may no longer be an owner, but the staff is still loyal to her and so is one of the other owners, so when I called, they were very receptive. I was wondering how rory pulled it off. Well, did you at least have a good time? We did. I think the best part was that… I didn’t have to second-guess everything that came out of his mouth, unlike spencer. Oh. Did you tell cam about spencer’s testimony? We talked about it. And did he think it was crazy that spencer tried to do a 180 and give me an alibi? Sonny: Hey, trina. It’s great to see you having a good afternoon. I just — I just wanted you to know that, uh…there are people who are pulling for you.

Told you, there’s an incidentin one of my cabins. What kind of incident? I-I don’t know. I mean, I don’t have all of the details. But when I get them, I’ll bore you with every last one. Hm. Maxie. Trust me, leaving is the last thing I want to do. Oh, hello, hello, hello, hello. Hi. Hi. Hey, goodbye, goodbye. Goodbye, goodbye. Um, I can’t stay. I’m really sorry. But you two have fun, okay? And I’ll call you. Okay. Goodbye. Hm. Where goeth the good doctor? Pautuck. What? Ew. Why? I have no idea. Okay, how long is he gone for? A couple of days, or so he says. Hmm. Alrighty, then. I think I sense a bit of annoyance, which I can empathize with, because I just said a rather abrupt farewell for now to martin. What? Did you guys break up? No, no, no, no, no. It’s nothing like that. It’s just — isn’t it kind of weird, this mass exodus of the men of port charles? Well, why are they so secretive about it? Oh, well, actually, martin did, uh, let me in on the reasons for his departure. I gather austin did not.

[ Scoffs ] Thank you. No problem. So, spencer, how are port charles’ finest treating you? Well, I don’t mean to brag, but I did get an extra blanket last night, had lunch from kelly’s, and I’m allowed visitors. Oh. So being the mayor’s grandson has its privileges? Well, I’m not sure that I’d give it a five-star review, but, yeah, the pcpd is a decent budget option for travelers passing through. I’m glad to see you still have your sense of humor. The question is, how much longer am I going to need it? 30 days? Longer? Well, that is up to you. I had myself a little conversation with D.A. Scorpio. You name your accomplices, you’re looking at ten days at spring ridge. And if I don’t? Three months, pentonville. Three very long, very difficult months. It could be worse. It will be, believe me. Pentonville will not be a good place for you, for many reasons. Most obviously, your physical safety. I know the risks. Mm-hmm. And you think because you’re sonny corinthos’ nephew, you’ll be protected. Well… you better hope you’re right. Meantime, I hope you take this deal. Come on, spencer. I had to pull a rabbit out of a hat for this. Ten days of spring ridge is practically a vacation. And I appreciate that. Then why the hesitation? You don’t want to take your physical safety into consideration? Think about your family, their emotional wellbeing. My family will be fine, thank you. Why put them through it in the first place? Especially your grandmother. We both know what laura would want you to do. Jordan: Anything to report? Quiet so far, commissioner. Here’s hoping it stays that way. I’m ready if it doesn’T. That’s what I want to hear. I did want to speak with you about something. Yes, ma’am. A.D.A. Arden notified me that you were a spectator at trina robinson’s trial. It was my day off. It’s clear from your interaction with curtis and portia that you’ve become familiar with trina’s family and trina herself. Yes, ma’am. The patient in this room is a key witness in trina’s case. I could have picked any other police officer, but I hand-picked you because I trust you. Thank you, commissioner. Don’t thank me yet. I need to know, is an assignment connected to trina going to be a problem for you? Sonny: Dex, can you come here for a second? Would you do me a favor and, uh, get trina a drink, lunch, whatever she wants, on me? Uh, thanks, mr. Corinthos, but, um, I’m not hungry. Okay, well, if you change your mind, you can talk to dex because he’s going to be looking after you while I, uh — I talk to josslyn. Hi, josslyn. You got a minute? Um, I just — I don’t want you to concern yourself with dex’s errand yesterday. Oh, you mean the whole jury-tampering thing? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Why? So I don’t get you in trouble? Why would I want to save you? Well, I-I know you wouldn’t want to save me, but I think you want to save trina, right? Everything’ll be okay. We just need to take a step back and recalibrate. Hmm, no. No, no, no.

We don’T.

I do. I have a legit reason for going in and out of that room, but you don’T. I think that it’s best that I not get you involved. I-I need to do this on my own. W-we’ve gone through this before. I told you, I have your back. And I love you for that. But if rory wasn’t involved and jordan wasn’t popping up around every damn corner, it’d be a different situation, but that’s not what’s happening. We’re talking about injecting another doctor’s patient with drugs, to reverse a medically induced coma in a fraction of the time that it reasonably should be done. And now, on top of all of that, your ex-wife is involved. What does jordan being my ex-wife have to do with anything? Honey, she knows you, she knows your ways, and I’m fairly positive she already thinks we’re up to something. So at this point, I just — I think that it’s best if I do this on my own. How you gonna do that? Because I’m a doctor, and rory will not stop me from walking right past him and into that room. And before anybody has time to even question me, I’ll have administered the reversal agents, and oz haggerty will be awake. Or dead.

Are you playing the grandmother card? Is this about keeping me out of prison or keeping you from facing her wrath? Well, why should I have to choose? I mean, yes, I am laura’s brother, and as such, I have to answer to her, too. If I knowingly allow you to imperil your life, mine is in, well, even more jeopardy than it already is. Then you can remind my grandmother of the promise that I made to her before she left, which is that I would try my hardest to live up to her expectations. Oh, well, call it a hunch, but I don’t think your grandmother expected maximum security to be part of the deal. Come on, spencer. You honestly think taking the fall all by yourself is going to afford you some kind of redemption? I’ve rarely been held accountable for the things that I’ve done in life. So now I’m taking responsibility and I’m being a man. By taking the fall for somebody else — covering for a man that your grandmother both despises and distrusts. Don’t look at me like that. It wasn’t that hard to figure out. Laura already told me that it was victor who had somebody on the inside at spring ridge. My great-uncle is trying to get me to narc on my other great-uncle? This is something straight out of greek mythology, martin. Greek mythology, huh? So be it, apollo. What exactly is it going to take to get you to flip on your great-uncle hades? I know that there’s a thousand different ways that this could go wrong. Starting with rory. If he clocks you, it’ll be obvious that you’re responsible for administering the shot. Only if he finds out. What if he does? Then I will get caught. Which means goodbye job, goodbye good reputation, medical license, goodbye career. But the reward will be worth the risk.

[ Scoffs ] If oz regains consciousness and exonerates trina, then I-it’ll all have been worth it.

[ Knock on door ] Um, c-come in. Hey. The nurses’ station is all abuzz. We’re kind of in the middle of something right now. I-is this important? I don’t know. There’s a uniformed police officer stationed outside an icu room. Is that important? You tell me. The patient is a potential witness of a crime that’s under investigation. Right. G-got you. Wow. Yeah. Thank you. Okay, so the next time I can’t find britt or terry, I know who to come to for answers.

[ Chuckles ] You two okay? It seems a little edgy in here. Family issue. Mm. Oh, right, the trial. Oh. Forgive me. I’m sorry. I guess I was just distracted by the police presence. Yeah, we’ve had the same thing on our mind. Well, I sincerely hope that everything goes your way. Sorry to interrupt. It’s getting dicey. Now, not just jordan and rory’s eyes are on us, but austin’S. Everyone’s eyes are on that room. Do you get the feeling our timing is off? Yeah, but if not now, then when?

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] It’s diane. Hello? H-hi, diane. Hello. Oh. Yeah. Thank you. Um, thank you for letting me know. What is it? Diane tried to get a hold of trina, but I guess she’s getting her voicemail. Um… diane’s not sure, but she thinks the jury is close to a verdict. I know I’m not your favorite person these days, but would you hurt trina to get back at me? I will never forgive you for what you did to my mother, but I’m grateful for what you did for my friend. So you and joss are friends? Uh, is that what she said?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, hold on. I just got a message.

If I’m apollo and uncle victor is hades, that makes you poseidon. Well, look at you. Off the top of your head and everything. Makes me proud. I am greek. Even so, this greek god has got a ferry to catch, so, uh, what’s it going to be, nephew? No deal.

[ Sighs ] I was afraid you’d say that. Very well. Sign here. You report to pentonville in two weeks. And by the way, you need a little more help thinking this through, I could always call your daddy. Or laura. I do not need my family weighing in on this, and that includes you. Right now, you are not my great-uncle martin, you are my lawyer, and as your client, I am telling you that my mind is made up. Maybe I’m overreacting. Hmm, maybe. But maybe it’s your attempt to downplay a potential red flag in someone heretofore was really red-flag-free, and that’s causing you emotional and spiritual dissonance. But truthfully, that’s just for you to say, not me. Excuse me. Mm-hmm. It’s just that in the middle of planning a weekend getaway with my kids, austin suddenly gets a phone call from pautuck and has to flee? What could be so important that he would blow us off? Okay, so you don’t really buy his reason? He didn’t give me one! And the timing? It’s too convenient. What if he didn’t really get a phone call from pautuck? What if austin is having second thoughts about our relationship? Mason, come on, man. I — you got to stop. Stop hassling me. I just stopped off at work. Can you stop? Fine. Y– I — you win. You all win. I’ll drop everything. Tell her I’m on my way. No need to stick around, commish. I got it from here. And I want to believe you, officer cabrera, but you haven’t answered my question. Can you put your badge above your feelings for trina robinson? Sorry to interrupt, but I think your friend needs you. Oh. Thanks. What’s going down? Word is the jury’s coming back soon. Alright. We’re about to find out how strong your powers of persuasion are. Hey. What is it? Diane thinks there might be a verdict today.

[ Gasps ] Did she say if it was good or bad? It doesn’t matter. Diane did an excellent job establishing reasonable doubt. The jury will do the right thing. And what if they don’t? Then we appeal. And in the meantime, I’m in prison, not on house arrest. I-I just — what? I thought I had more time. Curtis: Hold on, I don’t understand. Either the jury is back or it’s not. And what makes diane so sure that they’ll be back with a verdict so soon? Well, apparently, diane has contacted the courthouse and the jury has decided to work through lunch and not order dinner. Okay. Well, then they will be back. You know, I was going to suggest that we sleep on this, but… we don’t have time to wait any longer. If we want to save trina from going to prison, I have to wake oz up right now.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nancy: I just love a man who doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty.

Clyde: Yeah, that’s me. My shift’s almost over. Why don’t you pick out a table and we’ll grab some dinner?

Nancy: Um, I have a better idea.

Clyde: What’s that?

Nancy: Why don’t you and i have dinner with chloe and brady? Unless there’s a reason you don’t think we should?

Clyde: Well, I got one pretty good reason. Your daughter hates my guts.

[Sentimental country music]

Chloe: Hey.

Brady: Chloe, you’ve been staring at that screen all morning. You’re gonna get eyestrain.

Chloe: I know, but I have to get this proposal in by tomorrow morning, and it has to be perfect. I’m not gonna give kristen another reason to write me up.

Brady: I saw your first draft this morning, and it was good.

Chloe: Well, good is not good enough in this situation. Any minute, that petty bitch could come walking in through that door.

Leo: Who are you calling petty?

[Tense music]

Xander: So, we agree that ava and gwen must be working together, right?

Sarah: Absolutely. So what do we do now?

Xander: Well, we have to get ava to admit that she helped gwen escape from statesville, and that she did it on the night that abigail was murdered. Oh, right, and that she knew gwen was gonna kill abigail and frame you for it.

Sarah: Is that all? That’ll be a piece of cake.

Xander: Hey, it might not be that difficult. I mean, gwen and ava, they’re business partners, not chums. Ava already rolled on her partner once before. I can make her throw gwen under the bus one last time.

Gwen: No, of course I didn’t kill abigail. But I had motive, and if the cops find out I had opportunity, well, that’s not gonna look good for either one of us.

Ava: Oh, are you threatening me? After I went out of my way to help do you a favor?

Gwen: No. I’m just pointing out that it would be in our best mutual interest to keep our mouths shut.

Ava: Well, don’t worry. Your secret’s safe with me.

[Tense music]

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Ej: Sorry, am I interrupting?

Ava: No, not at all. I mean, it is your house. This is my friend gwen. Gwen, this is ej, my brother-in-law.

Gwen: Mm. I know, we’ve met.

Ej: I don’t remember that.

Gwen: Oh, yeah, I’m not surprised.

[Clears throat] It was quite a long time ago. You barely even recognized that I was in the room. You were very focused on getting your million dollars back from xander cook.

[Tense music]

Sarah: Where are you going?

Xander: Gonna have a word with ava.

Sarah: Now?

Xander: Why not? I heard the grieving widow just moved into the dimera place.

Sarah: Yeah, but you have to be prepared if you’re gonna go talk to ava. She’s not stupid. She’s just gonna deny everything.

Xander: Well if she does, I’ll show her the copies we made of the visitor logs and the phone records. We can prove that… ava was in contact with gwen before and after abigail was murdered.

Sarah: Yeah, but we don’t know what they talked about.

Xander: What, you think they were exchanging recipes?

Sarah: All we have is a theory.

Xander: I’ll lean on her. She’ll fold.

Sarah: Mm. I admire your confidence. But ava is as tough as nails. You have to have proof.

Xander: Yeah, you’re right.

Sarah: And we know that ava isn’t the only person that gwen spoke to that day. There’s also her good friend leo stark.

Brady: Mm, what are you doing here, leo?

Leo: It’s a social call. I thought I’d save your asses by saving your company.

Brady: Ooh. He’s gonna save our company. How you gonna do that?

Leo: With this.

[Tense music]

Clyde: Nancy, I know you want chloe and her boyfriend to like me, but… we’ve been going out for a while now, and absolutely nothing has changed.

Nancy: Something has changed, clyde. You and I are living together now. And even though I don’t listen to them, that doesn’t mean that I’m going to stop trying to change their minds about you.

Clyde: Yeah, but you know, whatever you say won’t change the fact that I got a prison record. Now, we’re living together ’cause I need a place to stay here or else I’m violating my parole, and you graciously offered to put a roof over my head when ben and his family left town.

Nancy: I didn’t do it to be nice. I was happy to do it.

Clyde: And that means more to me than you know.

Nancy: You know, I– I think we’re pretty compatible in many ways, even as roomies.

Clyde: Yeah, even as roomies. But you know, you’ve been a really great friend to me. More than anyone else has ever been. Seems like you always got my back. Even when I’m accused of murder.

Jennifer: You ate your whole salad! How about I take you to the square for a treat?

Thomas: I don’t want to go there.

Jennifer: Not even to that place where they serve toffee on the frozen yogurt?

Thomas: I’m afraid to eat toffee now.

Jennifer: Why?

Thomas: My tooth is really loose. See?

Jennifer: That’s the problem.

Thomas: But I can still eat plain frozen yogurt, though.

Chad: I could go for some froyo myself. Thomas. Thomas, don’t run away from me.

[Somber music]

Jennifer: What just happened?

Chad: My kid hates me. It’s my own fault.

This is the sound of better breathing.

Jennifer: Chad, you know thomas doesn’t hate you.

Chad: I wouldn’t blame him if he did. I lost my temper with him yesterday.

Jennifer: Well, all parents do that.

Chad: Not under these circumstances. What? What are you thinking?

Jennifer: Well, I don’t want to upset you further.

Chad: Jennifer, just tell me.

Jennifer: Last night, thomas was worried when you didn’t come home.

Chad: He was?

Jennifer: Yes.

Chad: I should have called.

Jennifer: Jack and i were worried, too.

Chad: Yeah, I’m sorry. I just, I got–I got a little drunk last night and I crashed at sonny’s house.

Jennifer: I know. Sonny texted me, and I told thomas, but he was still scared.

Chad: Why?

Jennifer: Chad. Your son is afraid you’re gonna leave him, the way his mother did.

[Somber music]

[Soft country music]

Nancy: Clyde, I told you the night that we met that I believe everybody deserves a second chance.

Clyde: That meant the world to me.

Nancy: I just–I just wanted you to stop being so hard on yourself. You did the time. And you paid your debt. That’s why, when you were arrested, I felt so bad for you.

Clyde: Well, it was rough, but, you know, it all worked out. And now, here I am with you, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Nancy: Me too. And clyde, I am sure that the man that sold you that stolen bracelet, he’s the one that killed abigail.

[Sighs] It has to be him, right?

Clyde: Yeah. I just wish I could have given the cops a better description of the weasel. You know, I would have been the hero now, you know? The guy who brought that killer to justice.

Brady: Leo.

Leo: Hmm?

Brady: Don’t get too comfortable. That’s my candy. What the hell are you doing here?

Chloe: Yeah, and what is that?

Leo: I saw your ad online for a brand specialist. And since I am a living, breathing brand of my own, one who’s currently between gigs, I thought I would give you first dibs at my services.

Brady: [Chuckles]

Leo: I was thinking I could bring some color to basic black. No offense, but you two might want to stop dressing like pallbearers.

Brady: Okay. Look, chloe and I are busy. We’re busy, so why don’t you just, you know–

Chloe: Go away. And what is that?

Leo: Ah, this is what they call a lookbook. I put it together to give you an idea of my vision.

Chloe: Okay, well, I know what a lookbook is. But these are… only pictures of you.

Leo: I know. Eat your heart out, david gandy. There’s no question I could bring some fab to the drab here at basic black.

Chloe: [Clears throat] Um, should… you call security, or can I do the honors?

Brady: No, I don’t need security. I can throw him out myself. Come on. Let’s go.

Leo: Whoa, whoa, whoa! What is with the hostility?

Chloe: Come on, all three of us know that you are not here for a job.

Brady: Leo, we’re not stupid. All you want to do is stab us in the back.

Sarah: So gwen called leo stark on the day of the murder as well.

Xander: Yeah, I haven’t forgotten about him. I just don’t see leo killing anyone, you know? And lucas didn’t say anything about seeing drag sarah horton running down those stairs.

Sarah: So, you do think it was gwen.

Xander: Leo’s just a conman, but gwen, I mean, clearly, she’ll do whatever it takes to get what she wants. Can’t believe she convinced me she’d changed. What a dummy I was.

Sarah: Hey, no, you have to stop beating yourself up. How could you have known?

Xander: There were signs. I just chose to ignore them.

Sarah: Yeah, but you had been hurt so badly. By me. You know, you just needed to believe in love again.

Xander: I wasn’t hurt by you, I was hurt by that monster kristen dimera. All you’ve ever done is just make me so much happier than I ever deserved to be.

Sarah: No, stop that. You deserve to be happy. And to be loved. And you need to give yourself a little bit more credit. You saw through gwen eventually.

Xander: Yeah, only after she made your life hell. I mean, we both know she wouldn’t have gone anywhere near you if I hadn’t been so stupid.

Ej: Oh, I remember you now. You’re xander cook’s mistress.

Gwen: Yeah, well, xander and I aren’t together anymore.

Ej: Oh, well that’s a point in your favor. But any friend of my late brother’s wife is welcome in this house. I’m sure you’re a great comfort to ava.

Gwen: I certainly try to be.

Ej: Why don’t you stay for drinks and dinner?

Ava: That’s very generous of you, ej, but isn’t it a little late to add another person to the table?

Ej: Oh, we’re very adaptable. So will you stay?

Gwen: Sure. Why not?

Ej: Great. I’ll go shower and change, and then we can get to know each other a little better. Perhaps we’ll even get around to discussing that secret that ava seems to be keeping for you.

[Tense music]

It’s started. Somewhere between a cuddle

Chad: He thought I left him for good?

Jennifer: He was panicky.

[Somber music]

I reassured him, of course, but it was a rough night for him.

Chad: Poor little guy. I’m–I’m sorry.

Jennifer: I didn’t want to tell you, but I thought you needed to know.

Chad: Oh yeah, I did need to know.

Jennifer: Yes, I suppose you did, but I– look, I hate to cause you more pain.

Chad: Jen, I’m not really worried about my pain right now, all right? This is my son we’re talking about. And he thought his dad died last night because he didn’t turn up and he didn’t call. I mean, it’s no wonder he was scared. Him and charlotte kissed their mother goodbye and then went to do see a movie with me, and then when we came back… I mean, my son just wants his mom back, and his dad has no clue what to say to him. I mean, how do I make this okay?

Jennifer: You can’T. None of us can. But the one thing that you can do, we can all do, is we can–we can go through this together. As a parent, I have learned that you cannot always be wise and wonderful for your kids, but you can be there.

Chad: Yeah. I mean, it’s no secret that I’m a mess right now. I got loaded last night because I wanted to feel nothing. Honestly, I am filled with nothing but rage.

Jennifer: I understand that. I do.

Chad: And the truth is I was just too ashamed to face thomas or charlotte last night. The last thing they need is their drunken father staggering around. Not so wise and wonderful, you said? I’m far from that. Yeah, I’m doing my best… to keep it together. And the truth is…

[Somber music]

I’m falling apart, okay?

Jennifer: I know. I know.

Chad: I mean… what do we do without her? You know, what are we– what are supposed to do without abby?

Jennifer: I don’t know.

Clyde: Nancy, why don’t you just take chloe and brady out by yourself?

Nancy: Clyde, you and i are a couple now. Chloe has to accept that.

Clyde: Or we could get some takeout from that chinese place that ben likes, you know, stay home, watch some lady wrestling.

Nancy: Do I have to put you in a hammerlock to get my way? Once you spend time with chloe and brady, they’re gonna learn to love you like I do.

Clyde: Nancy miller, did i just hear you say you love me?

Nancy: I don’t know what I said.

Clyde: [Chuckles]

>>Nancy: But you are gonna have to change that shirt before we go to dinner.

Clyde: Yeah, the fry-o-lator splattered on me. But I do clean up pretty nice, you know.

Nancy: Yes, you do. [Laughs] Okay. Oh, wait, I think you should just go home and shower and put on that new shirt that I bought you.

Clyde: All right. Where will you be?

Nancy: I’m going to pick up chloe and brady, and then– then we’ll text you to let you know where to meet us for dinner.

Chloe: You told my mother that I was on some sort of list of yours, and she knew that you weren’t talking about your christmas card list, so why would brady and I be dumb enough to hire you after that?

Leo: Well, I only said that because she made me so mad.

Chloe: Well, you’re still mad! If we hired you, you’d run this company into the ground.

Leo: Why would I do a thing like that?

Brady: You made it clear that you intend to get even with anyone who came in between you and craig.

Leo: True. But I changed my mind. I decided to be the bigger person and let all that go. If I’m willing to get bygones be bygones, shouldn’t you be?

Chloe: Why would you even want to work here?

Leo: Girl’s gotta eat, right?

Brady: [Laughs] You are unbelievable.

Leo: I like to think of myself as unique, a true original, which is what my designs for basic black would be. Should we talk salary?

Chloe: Get out.

Leo: You two are so tiresome. Well, I guess I’ll just have to start my own brand and bury you. I assure you, it’s nothing personal.

[Mysterious jazz music]

This is majestic.

Xander: Gwen killed her own sister and tried to frame you for it, and you know why.

Sarah: Because she hated abigail. And she wanted me out of the way so she could have a shot with you.

Xander: Right. That’s why I’m gonna be the one to make sure her plan blows up in her face.

Sarah: You know, gwen does seem to be a psychiatrist’s worst nightmare, but there is something about her that I do understand.

Xander: What’s that?

Sarah: Risking everything to be with you.

Xander: Ah, get on with you.

Sarah: No, I mean it. I thought I was losing my mind, but now…

Xander: You’re the sarah I know. The sarah I love.

Sarah: It’s because we’re together. Because we’re really together.

Xander: You did all the hard work all by yourself.

Sarah: No. No, I mean it. We make a really good team.

Xander: Yeah. You’re the brains and I’m the muscle.

Sarah: You are so much more than muscle. Although the muscle is part of your appeal. Do we have to go confront ava right this minute?

Xander: You know, I was just thinking, maybe we should put that off for a bit.

[Sentimental music]

Gwen: I can’t believe ej heard us talking.

Ava: Yeah, well, he doesn’t miss a trick. He’s desperate to get rid of me. Now, he’ll have just what he needs if he figures out that I helped you escape.

Gwen: Why does he want to get rid of you?

Ava: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I just inherited jake’s shares of dimera enterprises.

Gwen: [Sighs] So he’s gonna want some answers when he gets back.

Ava: Right. So, we need to come up with another big secret. And fast.

Chad: Hey, pal.

Thomas: Hi.

Chad: I’m sorry I– I’m sorry I didn’t come home last night. I’m sorry about a lot of stuff. I– I yelled at you, and that was wrong.

Thomas: It’s okay.

Chad: No, it isn’T. But I didn’t yell at you because I was mad.

Thomas: It sounded like you were.

Chad: I wasn’T.

[Sentimental music]

I’m just so mad at the world.

Thomas: Me too.

Chad: Yeah. We’re both mad… and we’re both sad… because mommy’s gone, and we both miss her very much, and we would do anything for her to come back. I know… your mom was always– she was always so great at coming up with ways to make you feel better. Taking you to the aquarium, just the two of you. I know how much you loved that. And you remember when she let you and charlotte roast those marshmallows on that fancy fireplace?

Thomas: That was fun.

Chad: Yeah. I know. You know, I was just looking at pictures that she took of you guys that night. I can show them to you.

I want to be… I want to be good… at coming up with great ideas like she was. But I just, I– I don’t think I have it in me right now. I just– actually, I can’T.

But maybe– maybe if you have… you know, an idea or think of anything.

Thomas: Maybe…

Chad: Maybe what?

Thomas: I could make you feel better, then you can make me feel better.

Chad: [Sobs] I think that… that might be the best idea that I have ever heard. You know how much you remind me of your mom? You and your sister, both of you. And anytime that I want to see your mom, all I have to do is look at you guys. I love you. Think you could give me a hug?

Brady: Can you believe that guy? Just waltzing in here, expecting a job.

Chloe: Yeah, well now that he’s gone, I have to admit some of these designs are actually really good.

Brady: Chloe, seriously? Did you see the suit that he was wearing? The only thing missing was a boutonniere that squirts water.

Chloe: No, I know leo does have his own personal style. But this? This is actually kind of different. I like it.

Nancy: Why are you looking at pictures of that horrible man?

[Tense music]

Leo: Chloe lane and brady black wouldn’t know good design if it hit them right in the face.

Clyde: That’s exactly what I should do to you.

You never know

what opportunities

Nancy: You are looking at pictures of the man who destroyed my marriage.

Chloe: Mom, it’s not what you think.

Nancy: He ruined my life, and then he stayed in salem to rub my nose in it!

Chloe: Which is why I don’t want to have anything to do with him.

Nancy: [Chuckles] Don’t lie to me, chloe lane. I may not be a fashionista, but I know a lookbook when I see one.

Brady: Nancy, you’re right. He came in here asking for a job.

Nancy: The nerve of him!

Chloe: I know! Totally! Which is why we threw him out.

Brady: It’s a good thing I don’t keep a baseball bat in the office, or he would have been crawling out with two broken legs.

Nancy: [Chuckles]

Clyde: Well, I’ve been looking for you. And the cops would be too if I had given them a better description. But I don’t think I’ll forget your face now. Now that you got that deer-in-the-headlights look about you. Careful you don’t wet them fancy pants of yours, man.

Leo: Eww. Since our last association was mutually beneficial, I’m gonna forget you said that. How about a buy you a drink? I’m drinking pinot grigio myself; it’s a modest wine, but I think you’ll be amused as its presumption.

Clyde: Never touch the stuff.

Leo: Hmm. Yours is moonshine in a dirty glass? Hey, hey, hey you’re wrinkling my suit.

Clyde: I almost took a murder rap ’cause of you. They had me in for the murder of abigail dimera. Lucky for me, I had an alibi. But I get the feeling you’re not gonna be half as lucky as I was.

Chad: So, what was– what was the frozen yogurt you and grandma were talking about?

Jennifer: Well, I have a good idea. Why don’t the two of you go get it together?

Chad: No, why don’t– you should come with us.

Jennifer: No, another time. For now, I think you two guys need a boys’ night out.

Chad: What do you think, kiddo? It’s up to you.

Thomas: I think that sounds fun. Let’s do it.

[Sentimental music]

Ej: Oh, by the way, gwen, harold said it was no problem to set another place at the table for you.

Gwen: Lovely.

Ava: Ah, thank you.

Ej: To family… and to new friends.

[Tense music]

Mm, I’m eager to know all about this secret the two of you are keeping. And I can’t but help but wonder if it has anything to do with abigail.

Announcer: Type 2 diabetes?

Nancy: [Sighs] Okay. Now that you’ve explained about talking to that horrible man, let’s not mention his name again, because it just makes me queasy.

Brady: Agreed. As a matter of fact, I was gonna try to convince chloe to get out of here and go get some dinner. You’re welcome to join us if you’d like.

Nancy: Oh, well, funny thing about that, I came here to ask you and chloe to join clyde and i for dinner tonight. Come on, please say yes. I mean, whether you like him or not, clyde weston is the new man in my life. Chloe, he makes me happy. And I just want to share that with the people that I love.

Brady: I hear that he’s living with you now?

Nancy: Yes. I didn’t think I needed to ask your permission.

Chloe: No, you don’T. If he’s the man in your life, then I will gladly go to dinner with–with you guys. And I’ll try to focus on the fact that he makes you happy.

Nancy: Thank you, sweetheart. Brady?

Brady: Well, if you’re good with it, then who am I to argue? I’m in.

Nancy: Great. Okay, let’s go.

[Tense music]

Xander: Here is that mousse you were craving.

Sarah: Mmm, finally. Took long enough to get here.

Xander: Well, you know, takes a minute. I’ve got to find and hunt and kill a moose and whip it up into a creamy dessert.

Sarah: You have a very wry wit, mr. Cook. Mmm. You know what?

Xander: What?

Sarah: That mousse took so long to get here that I developed an appetite for something else entirely different. One that doesn’t require a spoon.

Xander: You know, that’s funny. Because I was getting a bit peckish myself.

Sarah: Hmm.

Xander: But not for mousse.

[Sultry music]

Ava: Why in the world would gwen have any secret that involves abigail?

Ej: Can you answer that, ms. Rizczech?

Gwen: Ah. I see you’ve figured me out then, have you?

Ej: I didn’t put it together until after I had left you. You’re the daughter jack deveraux didn’t know he fathered. The one who returned to salem with a desire to get even.

Gwen: That was a long time ago.

Ej: Must have been. I wasn’t in salem when you seduced my brother and tried to ruin his marriage.

Gwen: Guilty as charged. You see, I was a very angry woman back then. But luckily, I was able to see all the harm that I had caused, and I made peace with abigail, long before she died. My heart goes out to chad. I know how devastated he is over the loss of his wife.

[Tense music]

Chad: Mmm. I don’t care what anybody says, I think that vanilla is the best frozen yogurt.

Thomas: I think chocolate’s better.

Chad: Yeah? What? Are you okay? Is this your tooth? Oh, my gosh, we’ve been waiting forever for this to come out!

Thomas: Will you keep it for me so I can put it under my pillow?

Chad: Will you trust me with something this important?

Thomas: Mom used to do it. You’re gonna have to do some of the stuff mom did.

Chad: I would be happy to. I am gonna guard this with my life.

Thomas: Does the tooth fairy know we’re at grandma’s house?

Chad: Yeah, the tooth fairy’s very smart. She knows where all the kids live, so she’ll find you.

Thomas: Okay, good. But the tooth fairy’s a he.

Leo: You’re looking at me like you think I killed abigail dimera.

Clyde: Tell it to the cops.

Leo: Do we need to involve the cops in this? You’re on parole after a fairly colorful past, and I’ve spent a certain amount of time on the wrong side of the law myself.

Clyde: I told you I’ve been cleared.

Leo: Do the cops know that you fenced the stolen jewelry of a murder victim?

Clyde: [Sighs] I’ll take my chances.

Leo: Well, at least let me finish my wine. I missed happy hour by two minutes and they made me pay full price.

Clyde: Well, drink up, my friend. I’m pretty sure they won’t be serving no pinot grigio where you’re going.

Leo: Well, here’s to the boys in cell block B. Bottoms up.

Clyde: Ahh! Ahh!

[Groaning]

[Up-tempo jazz music]

Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Sarah: I think the last time I was this happy was the night before our wedding.

Xander: Same here.

Sarah: Meds are working. Hallucinations have diminished. I’m back with the man I love.

Xander: Who is soon to be your devoted husband.

Sarah: Mm. That will make me even happier than I am now, if that’s even possible. Ooh, but first, we have some unfinished business to attend to.

Xander: Indeed, we do. We have to make ava cough up what she knows about gwen.

[Tense music]

Gwen: So, will chad and the kids be at dinner?

Ej: No, they’re staying with jack and jennifer. And you two still haven’t told me your secret.

Ava: Okay. It’s about your favorite person, xander cook. Gwen wants him back.

Gwen: It’s true. Yeah. Uh… I thought it was a lost cause, but now that lucas has said that he saw sarah in this house on the very day that abigail was murdered, well, I don’t know, maybe we still have a chance.

Ej: I see you haven’t heard.

Gwen: Heard what?

Ej: It appears that sarah might have an alibi.

Gwen: But lucas said that–

Ej: Lucas and I have a long history. He’s a sot and liar. Soon as I heard he’d implicated sarah, I knew she hadn’t done it. Someone else killed abigail.

I think I might go check on dinner.

Gwen: I cannot believe you told him I’m pining after xander.

Ava: Well, we had to tell ej something, and the best lies have a grain of truth to them.

Gwen: Are you sure it’s a good idea to be living in the same house with the very man who’s out to get you?

Ava: Don’t worry about it. I know how to handle ej dimera.

Nancy: Look who I brought with me. What happened to your shirt?

Clyde: Oh, you wouldn’t believe it. I just ran into the dude that gave me abigail’s bracelet.

Nancy: Really?

Brady: Where the hell is he?

Clyde: He knew I was on to him, threw a drink in my face, and ran out.

Chad: You saw the tooth fairy in the basement of our old house?

Thomas: And it was a man.

Chad: Right. Okay. Look, I want you to promise me that you’re not gonna go down there again, okay, big guy? Those tunnels aren’t the safest place for a little kid, especially by themselves.

Thomas: But I wasn’t by myself. The tooth fairy was there. I told mommy about it. And if you don’t believe me, ask him yourself! Look! There he is!

[Hope chuckles]

[Phone rings]

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: Brooke.

Brooke: Steffy, hi. Detective sanchez just called for your father. He said he had an update on sheila.

Steffy: On sheila?

Steffy: Li just showed up at the house but we can– we can go right now. I’ll– I’ll text my mom. Thanks. They have news about sheila.

Finn: Okay, well, let’s– let’s, let’s go.

Steffy: Okay. Yes.

Thomas: Sheila can’t keep running forever.

Liam: Yeah, mean time, we just have to stay vigilant, make sure she doesn’t have any more opportunities to cause damage.

Hope: Well, I think all of our concerns are definitely justified but I do think it is important for us to focus on the wins, too. And, finn coming back into our lives is a big one.

Thomas: You know, if there’s anything I’ve learned from, you know, my sister and her husband’s situation is that life is short. Make every second count.

Liam: There’s some words to live by.

Hope: The kids!

Thomas: There they are. Hey!

Hope: Hi, sweetie!

Thomas: Hey, bud. Did you guys have fun playing outside?

Douglas: Yeah, and we played jump rope.

Hope: Oh! I bet you learned from the best.

Douglas: I can’t wait ’til we get to see aunt steffy ad uncle finn!

Hope: Oh, we are excited, too.

Douglas: Hey, could you come outside with me and throw the baseball?

Thomas: Uh, yeah. It’s, like, my favorite thing in the world to do! Come on. Awesome.

Liam: See you guys.

Thomas: Yeah, see ya.

Liam: That right there is a happy, well-adjusted kid.

Hope: Mm, he is, isn’t he?

Liam: Because of you.

Hope: Well, that’s sweet of you to say that.

Liam: It’s sweet of me to say, it’s also the truth. You turned that kid’s life around after caroline d-I-e-D.

Hope: Well, douglas means the world to me. I don’t know what i would do without him.

Taylor: Okay, so– so what’s the news?

Brooke: All detective sanchez said was that it’s regarding sheila.

Eric: Yeah.

[Taylor sighing]

Steffy: What’s going on? Is dad back yet? Where is detective sanchez?

Brooke: The detective’s on his way and hopefully your father is, too. But he left his phone here and we can’t reach him.

Eric: Steffy, finn. It’s still amazing to see the two of you together again.

Taylor: I know. I feel the same way. It’s so good seeing them together. And we have li to thank for that. But li, I– I have to ask, why, why didn’t you tell steffy or any of us that you had finn and you were keeping him alive?

Li: I understand both your and steffy’s frustration.

Taylor: Okay. I just– I just wish that you would have at least told steffy, it would have saved your son’s wife a lot of pain and suffering.

Li: Looking back, I may have done things differently but please know that I never meant to hurt or deceive any of you. Finn’s condition was so fragile, the likelihood of him standing like this with us today… miraculously, my boy pulled through.

Taylor: Yes. And for that we are, we are very grateful.

Brooke: Detective sanchez, welcome.

Detective sanchez: Thank you all for coming. Is ridge…?

Eric: He’s on his way. Uh, we’d like to hear what’s going on.

Detective sanchez: Like i told brooke on the phone, I have the latest on sheila carter.

Steffy: Do you know where she is?

Detective sanchez: Yes. We’ve located the fugitive. Nexgard is the flea and tick protection

[Hope sighs]

Hope: Well, beth is all set up in her room with a movie.

Liam: Aww. Well, like she said, she’s a big girl now.

[Hope laughs] So…

Hope: Look, I don’t want to jinx anything. But I think this might be the perfect day.

Liam: Sure started out that way, didn’t it?

Hope: It did.

Liam: Hey. How’d it go?

Thomas: Wow. Okay, so, I don’t know if you guys have seen this yet but douglas has a cannon for an arm.

Hope: Oh, atta boy, kiddo! Yes!

Thomas: I am seriously impressed. That was an awesome job out there.

Liam: This is what I’m talking about. Finally, finally, an athlete in the family.

Thomas: Well, you know what? You keep practicing every day and you might pitch for the dodgers. How’d you like that?

Douglas: That would be awesome.

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: Um, yeah, it would.

Douglas: Um, thanks for helping me, dad.

Thomas: You don’t have to thank me, bud. I’m always here for you. I’m your father.

Douglas: Yeah, I know, I’m– I miss you a lot. I wish we could be together more. Um, do you miss me when we’re not together?

Thomas: Of course I miss you, douglas. And– I– look, I know maybe it doesn’t feel that way all the time because I’m not around as much. But you know that I– I love you, right?

Douglas: Yeah.

Thomas: Yeah. Okay. You just– you just don’t like it when we don’t get to spend as much time together? Got it. Okay, well, look, I’ll tell you something. Even when we’re not physically together, we’re still kind of together because I’m always thinking about you. All right? Every moment of the day, I’m thinking about how your day’s going. When I go to sleep at night, I’m thinking, “how did his day go?” And, you know, “did he have fun at school or at camp?” And I try, you know, I try to keep in touch with your mom and make sure that you’re doing okay. But, maybe it’s not enough. Come here.

Finn: You found sheila?

Li: You have her in custody.

Detective sanchez: I didn’t say that.

Taylor: What are you saying?

Detective sanchez: This is what we know: Sheila carter was on the run. She was hiding out in the city. And at some point, she left los angeles.

Steffy: You lost track of her?

Detective sanchez: Security cameras spotted sheila somewhere outside of the sierras at a convenience store. Here are some stills from that camera footage.

Eric: Yeah, look. It does look like her.

Finn: That’s her.

Taylor: What does this mean, exactly?

Steffy: Yeah, it’s just a photograph. That’s all you got?

Detective sanchez: Well, we also found an abandoned car out there that we pulled sheila’s fingerprints from. And then at a campsite in the sierras, park ranger found some– very disturbing evidence.

Eric: Evidence like what?

Detective sanchez: Someone was attacked by a bear.

Taylor: A bear?

Steffy: Oh, my god. Are you serious?

Detective sanchez: Here, see for yourself. Although I should warn you.

Finn: Wait, is– so this is–

Detective sanchez: Photos of what’s left of sheila and some of her personal belongings.

Eric: Wait, what– what’s left of her?

Li: Everything’s ripped to shreds.

Detective sanchez: It was a chilling scene. We found her driver’s license and a broken cell phone. And this is an evidence bag. Contains some of sheila’s hair and her torn, bloodstained clothing. I mean, you get the picture.

Finn: Oh, man.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Steffy: Are you sure this is sheila? You’re absolutely certain?

Detective sanchez: Dna evidence is indisputable. Points to one person and one person only. I will do great things today.

Douglas: Hey, um, dad, can we throw the ball some more?

Hope: Actually, douglas, honey, you still have that one chapter left of your summer reading.

Douglas: But I want to play with dad.

Thomas: It’s all right. We’ll– we’ll play a little bit later, all right, bud?

Douglas: Oh. Oh, okay.

Thomas: Okay.

[Door shuts] Yeah. Thanks uh, thanks for creating such a wonderful home for douglas.

Hope: Of course, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him.

Thomas: I’m glad to hear you say that because it’s really hard hearing douglas talk about how much he misses me. It makes me feel like, well, I’m not pulling my weight as a father.

Liam: Oh, I– I can tell you, he doesn’t doubt how much you love him. He knows.

Thomas: Well, I don’t want him to ever question that. I gotta say, he does have a reason to feel overlooked.

Hope: He would never feel that way.

Thomas: Obviously he does. Look, I– I was already thinking about this. Um, I asked granddad if I can move in with him and um, I think it’d be great if douglas moved in, too. That way, the father and the son can spend time together like they should. I would love that. And I think douglas would too.

Hope: Wait, so are you suggesting that douglas move out of here, the home that he knows with his sister to go live with you?

Thomas: Yeah, I think it’s time. And obviously you can see him whenever you want.

Hope: You know what? I think this is a conversation that we should have later because I don’t want douglas to overhear anything. So I think we should table this discussion right now.

Thomas: Okay. I’ll go. I don’t want to upset douglas or you, just tell him I said bye.

Liam: We will.

[Hope sighs]

Liam: Uh, wow. That– yeah, that was um, something.

Hope: Can you believe that? Can you believe what he’s asking?

Liam: No– I– I know.

Douglas: Where– where’s dad?

> Hope: Oh. Um–

Liam: Uh…

Hope: You know what, sweetie? Your dad actually, he had to, he had to leave. But he told us to say bye and not to worry, you are going to see him again very, very soon.

Thomas: From now on, I’m gonna be much more involved in your life, douglas. You’re never going to doubt how much your dad loves you.

[Brooke sighs]

Eric: Is this for real?

Li: She was mauled by a bear?

Taylor: How do you know it’s sheila?

Detective sanchez: All the blood, all the evidence we found at the campsite belongs to her.

Finn: So what are you saying?

Taylor: Are you saying that sheila’s dead?

Steffy: She’s gone for good.

Detective sanchez: That’s exactly what I’m saying. Sheila carter’s deceased.

Brooke: I’m still not convinced. Sheila is a master manipulator. And you said you found hair and bloody clothes and an I.D., A phone. But is that all? We need details.

Detective sanchez: There’s one more thing. Look, I understand you’re all skeptical, as was I and the deputy chief. And that’s why I uh, I brought this.

Eric: What is this?

Detective sanchez: It’s another piece of evidence.

Taylor: Is– is that a–?

Detective sanchez: One of sheila’s digits. Her middle toe to be exact.

Brooke: Oh. Oh. Oh, my god.

Steffy: Are you okay?

Finn: I– yeah. I’m kind of in shock. And, and I hate to think of my birth mom gone in such a vicious way but we won’t have to worry about her anymore.

Taylor: It’s over. It’s finally over.

Brooke: All the pain that she’s caused.

Eric: All the terrifying things that she’s done to this family.

Sheila: You want to play ugly? I wrote the book on it.

Stephanie: Ah!

Finn: Who are you?

Sheila: I’m your mother.

Finn: You’re my mother?

Sheila: No! If one of us isn’t meant to be in finn’s life, it’s gonna be you, steffy. You.

Detective sanchez: There’s no doubt about it. Sheila’s gone. She’s dead. This time forever.

Nikki: Well, this is a pleasant surprise.

Abby: Hi.

Nikki: Hi, sweetheart. What brings you by?

Abby: I was hoping to see victoria.

Nikki: Ah, she’s still at the office. Let’s sit.

Abby: Thanks. Yeah, I’ve reached out to her several times since ashland’s death, and I haven’t gotten much of a response.

Nikki: Oh, I’m sure she appreciates her concern. She’s been so busy dealing with everything at newman, but I can assure you that she is being very strong.

Abby: I’m not surprised. She’s the toughest person i know.

Nikki: Yeah, well, ashland’s death was a shock, of course, but I doubt many tears will be shed over him. We are hoping to put that behind us very soon.

Abby: Yeah, I-I… I just wish that chance wasn’t so determined to cross every “t” and dot every “I.”

[ Sighs ] I’m sure this will all be over soon. I mean, what’s left to investigate?

Devon: Okay, well, I was just calling to make sure that you landed safely, but do you want to let me know when you’ve spoken to naya’s doctor? Okay. I love you. Bye-bye.

Elena: Hey.

Devon: Hey.

Elena: Sorry. I hope I’m not interrupting.

Devon: No, not at all.

Elena: I was hoping I could ask you a question.

Devon: Okay.

Elena: It’s a personal question…about nate.

Imani: [ Sighs ] Nate.

Nate: Hey. I thought you’d be on your way to see your mom by now. I know amanda’s gone. When’s your flight?

Imani: Later tonight. But I keep forgetting the exact time. Hopefully, I could remember to head to the airport. I’m just an emotional mess right now.

Nate: That’s completely understandable, given your circumstances. Just relax. Give yourself a break. I know this is hard, but you’ll get through it.

Imani: Thank you, nate. That’s exactly what I needed to hear. You always know how to make me feel better. I’m going to miss not being able to lean on you while I’m gone.

Kyle: Hello, newlyweds. Thanks for inviting me to hang. Tessa, I heard your recovery was going smoothly, but I’m glad to see it for myself. You look great.

Voice app: Thanks, but i can’t wait to stop sounding like gps directions.

[ Both laugh ]

Mariah: Tessa is still resting her voice, but I’m not going to lie. I think I’m kind of starting to like it. I mean, the computer automated voice, it’s kind of sounding a little sexy to me, if you know what I mean.

Kyle: Glad to see you’re keeping your sense of humor.

Mariah: Well, you know, if you don’t laugh, you cry.

[ Chuckles ] But in other news, how’s harrison doing.

Kyle: So far, I think he’s handling ashland’s death pretty well, although I’m not sure he understands what happened.

Mariah: And you?

Kyle: I’m okay. Working on the marchetti relaunch. Pretty exciting.

Voice app: Oh, no, you’re not changing the subject that easily.

Diane: Hello, summer. Always good to see you.

Summer: Diane.

Diane: Kyle told me about phyllis coming to work for marchetti. I have to say, it was quite a surprise to hear that your mother would want to make such a gigantic career move. But I want to make it clear that it won’t be a problem. At least not on my end.

Billy: You can’t be serious. Hiring adam at jabot, of all people. I can’t tell you how ill-advised that is, and I can’t be the only family member to think that way.

Jack: I really don’t think hiring adam is is risky as you’re making it out to be.

Billy: Jack, I know you, but this is far too cavalier.

Jack: I believe in his abilities. Besides, he knows I’m going to be watching his every move. He’s not going to do anything crazy.

Billy: Which means he’s going to work twice as hard not to get caught.

Jack: His entire tenure at newman media was devoid of scandal. He built that into a very profitable enterprise. He would never have left if victor hadn’t jerked him around.

Billy: Right, and now he’s upset that he’s not in the top spot, which means, once again, as always, he’s got an ax to grind.

Jack: No, he’s looking for a fresh start, somewhere that he won’t be constantly competing with victoria. He knows he can trust me to treat him fairly.

Billy: Did you run this by ashley?

Jack: Yeah, she’ll be fine with it eventually. Look, she’s spending almost all of her time in paris, anyway. When she’s here, she’s focused on the lab, and that is out of his purview.

Billy: Oh, yeah, adam is no chemist, but yet he still finds himself in situations and makes them combustible.

Jack: I really think you’re making too much of this.

Billy: And I don’t think you’re taking this seriously enough. That man does not know any boundaries. Jack, you give him an inch and he will take the company.

Jack: Thank you for your input, billy. I am very comfortable with my decision. Besides, it isn’t like I haven’t offered you similar lifelines in the past.

Billy: No, that is true. And how many of those have worked out? And I’m your brother.

Jack: You seemed fine with giving diane another chance.

Billy: Well, some people deserve another chance, and some absolutely don’T.

[ Sighs ] Coverage, care, get it all.

Devon: I’m probably not the best person to talk to you about nate right now.

Elena: I guess I’m just trying to get a sense of the work dynamic here, because I can tell that nate is kind of having a hard time. And I know he would hate me broaching this subject with you.

Devon: Well, that’s probably all the more reason not to go there at all, then, right?

Elena: Yeah, but I can’t help but be concerned. I’m guessing that he still feels a little touchy about discussing the situation with me because of my history with you.

Devon: You think that’s still an issue?

Elena: Maybe. And I’m not trying to interfere with your business. I know it’s not my place. But I do care about the relationship between you and nate. I mean, I’ll probably always regret the damage that I caused your family. So I just wanted to know if there’s anything that I can do to help fix things.

Nate: You’re going to do just fine without me. You’re going to have your sister, amanda, to lean on.

Imani: I guess. I just feel so conflicted about everything these days. Going away now, leaving chancellor-winters in the lurch like this.

Nate: We all understand. This is not some vacation. This is about a family in trouble. And that takes precedence over anything else around here. Family is what this company is built on. We’re supposed to stick by each other no matter what.

Imani: Absolutely. But I keep getting the feeling maybe yours isn’t sticking by you.

Kyle: So I’m doing all I can to focus on harrison and help him through losing the man he knew as “father.” And on top of all that, my mom and summer’s mom working together at marchetti might start world war iii. Sorry you asked?

Mariah: No. No, no, of course not. It’s just, um, wow, that — that is a lot. Yeah, you were right. Is there anything that I can do to help?

Kyle: Thanks, but I’m pretty sure this is all stuff I have to handle on my own. I promise I’ll send up a flare if things go south.

Mariah: Tessa, it looks like our drinks are ready. Do you mind picking them up? Thank you.

Ke: I could’ve gotten them. Why did you send tessa when she can’t even say who the order’s for?

Mariah: Honestly, I needed her out of the picture for a secondecause I wanted to ask you something in private. A really, really big favor.

Billy: Well, clearly, there’s nothing else I can say. It’s your call whether you hire that viper or not.

Jack: Exactly.

Billy: Just remember, jack, that adam’s fangs are sharp and poisonous.

Phyllis: Well, look at this. The abbott men spending time together.

Jack: Actually, I was just on my way out.

Phyllis: Oh, it’s okay. I’m just here to talk about business with billy. So I wanted to discuss lily’s very generous offer to buy the grand phoenix. She said if I had a change of heart, I could talk to her or you.

Jack: Well, I’ll leave you two to discuss your business.

Phyllis: See ya.

Billy: Boy, things between you and jack when south fast. At least this time it’s not my fault.

Phyllis: I have moved on from that.

Billy: Mm.

Phyllis: And possibly moving on from the grand phoenix. I’m going to start working with summer at marchetti.

Billy: I’m sorry. What? You and diane working together?

[ Chuckles ]

Unleash the freshness…

Phyllis: Thank you. I will only be working at the same company as diane. We’re in different departments.

Billy: Yeah, well, I don’t think marchetti is big enough for the both of you.

Phyllis: You underestimate me. I can handle this.

Billy: I hope so. At least for jack’s sake.

Phyllis: I’m not going to let my daughter down.

Billy: I realize that, but you can only suppress your feelings for so long, and the longer you do

[Imitates explosion] The bigger the combustion.

Phyllis: You know, I’m actually offended by this characterization of my personality. Yeah, why is it that you get to turn your life around, you get to be an upstanding executive, but me, I can’t do that?

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

Phyllis: Okay, well, it’s unfortunate for you that all you’re working with are, you know, your buddies and your girlfriend. I’m going to handle diane very professionally.

Billy: And I’m going to enjoy the popcorn watching you do that.

Phyllis: Okay, well, the grand phoenix is a huge moneymaking endeavor. It’s not like some, you know, podcast.

Billy: My podcasts are actually quite popular. I should have you on the show sometime.

Phyllis: Oh, no, thank you. I’m kind of booked up. But thanks for the offer. Anyway, what I’m saying is the grand phoenix isn’t just some side hustle. It’s a business. And that’s why I wanted to talk to lily about going forward. I don’t think I could handle both marchetti and the grand phoenix.

Billy: Well, I appreciate your new-day mentality, and if that’s what this actually is, then devon and lily will be very happy to hear that. Of course, they told me about the offer, and I was very confident that you were not going to be interested.

Phyllis: That’s how little you know me, billy.

Billy: Well, maybe that’s true. But what I do know, with diane joining marchetti, there’s only two reasons for your new direction. Number one, you’re a fool to sell your hotel to go work with summer. Or number two, you have a plan for diane. And I’ve never known you to be a fool.

Phyllis: You’re right about that.

Billy: Phyllis, you have made some mistakes, some pretty spectacular ones, but you are as savvy as they come. And if you have a plan, well, I bet it involves hurting diane in some way.

Summer: I knew that kyle was going to tell you about my mom coming on board, and I’m glad to hear that you don’t foresee any issues, because we don’t intend to tolerate any turmoil. Marchetti is a business. It’s not a place for anyone to hash out their personal grievances.

Diane: Oh, I couldn’t agree more.

Summer: Great. Well, then we can consider this topic closed.

Diane: Do you mind if I ask a truly honest question before we set this aside?

Summer: Please do.

Diane: Don’t you suspect that your mother’s sudden and massive career move is directly tied to her hatred of me?

Kyle: A really big favor. What do you need?

Mariah: [ Sighs ] I’m worried about tessa. She is super bummed about missing her tour, and she’s putting on a good front, but I can tell. I mean, can you imagine how frustrating it must be? No speaking, no singing.

Kyle: It’s got to be hard, especially for someone with such a beautiful voice.

Mariah: And not to mention all the worrying about how this is going to affect her voice long-term. So I have been trying to think of a way to keep her busy, boost her spirits.

Kyle: Are you pitching that we gift her a free, glamorous, new design from marchetti? Because that’s easy. Go by the showroom. Have her pick something out.

Mariah: That is very, very sweet of you, and I’ll probably end up taking you up on that, but I was thinking more along the lines of a job.

Kyle: Really? You think she’d be interested?

Mariah: Yes. Tessa is a huge fan of marchetti’s line, and she’s always been passionate about fashion. It’s a natural fit, and from a P.R. Standpoint, I’m sure you guys are going to need models for your new U.S. Rollout.

Kyle: Yes, we’re working on it.

Mariah: So who better to team up with than hot singing star tessa porter?

Nikki: Has chance told you exactly what he’s still investigating?

Abby: Not specifically, no. But maybe because of all the lies ashland told, he’s making sure that there’s nothing left uncovered.

Nikki: Well, you have to know how incredibly hard this has been for victoria. And I think the longer the investigation goes on, the more difficult it will be for her to move past it.

Abby: What are you trying to say? That chance should back off the ashland case?

Nikki: Wouldn’t that be what’s best for everybody? Tattoo studio gel pencil liner from maybelline new york.

Summer: Of course, i considered that my mom’s career shift might have something to do with you coming to work at marchetti. And believe me, I let her know my suspicions, as well.

Diane: But you hired her anyway.

Summer: Yes, I did. With the same warning that kyle gave you. We’re going to be keeping a watchful eye on both of you. And my mom has assured me that there won’t be any problems. And I have high hopes that she means what she says, because this is an amazing opportunity for me and my mother to work together just as it is for you and kyle.

Diane: Well, you don’t have to worry about me. I want this to work out more than anyone. In fact, I would love it if phyllis could find a way to forgive me. You know, maybe this whole thing will just be a miracle in disguise.

Phyllis: You know, I find it annoying, ridiculous that everybody in this town seems to think that I always have some nefarious plan, some nefarious intention.

Billy: Yeah, it’s super annoying and ridiculous that people would be curious why you would be selling your prized possession out of the blue to go work with your sworn enemy.

Phyllis: I’m not working with my sworn enemy, billy. I’m working side-by-side with my daughter. I’m helping her attain her vision of marchetti.

Billy: Once again, phyllis, you’re casting yourself in a supporting role, and that’s not you. You are the queen bee.

Phyllis: You know, I like a challenge. You know that, billy.

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: I thrive for a challenge, don’t I? And I’ll be overseeing the home-design division of marchetti. It’s a huge, huge position. It’s hardly a supporting player.

Billy: Okay, then. Why didn’t you say that? Because that actually sounds like a cool gig.

Phyllis: It is a cool gig. It’s a great gig. So that’s why I have risen above my hatred for diane, a hatred that cost me my relationship with jack and any sort of happiness that I would find with him. The sort of happiness I’ll never — I’ll never get again, I’m afraid.

Billy: Oh, boy. You are definitely up to something.

Devon: Yeah, I appreciate your concern, but what’s going on between nate and me has nothing to do with you or our history.

Elena: [ Sighs ] Good to know.

Devon: Yeah. It’s just… like, work doesn’t change the way I feel about him as family, but as a c-suite executive, he’s created a few issues. But it’s not all his fault. I take a little bit of blame, too.

Elena: Yeah?

Devon: Yeah.

Elena: In what way?

Devon: Well, I just sort of eased him into this high-level position instead of just throwing him into the deep end and expecting him to swim.

Elena: Oh. Well, look, I know you have a lot of business experience, and you were fortunate to have neil as a guide. But nate isn’t some wet-behind-the-ear college grad just starting out in the world, so he probably shouldn’t be treated as one. I mean, do you think it’s possible that you’ve put up some defenses when it comes to nate?

Devon: No. No, not at all. The only thing I’ve done is clearly lay out how I believe the hierarchy should work, and, for whatever reason, he’s been reluctant to embrace it, which is now causing me to wonder if I made a mistake altogether bringing him on board.

Nate: You’re dealing with enough right now. The last thing you need from me is to burden you with my troubles.

Imani: Honestly, I could use the distraction. I have the whole plane ride to virginia to worry about my mother’s condition. So in the meantime, let me be here for you for a change.

Nate: Okay. As long as you remember, you asked for it.

Imani: I did. Now, tell me what’s going on.

Nate: Devon is apparently worried that I’m some sort of liability to chancellor-winters. We had a slight misunderstanding about something that I was able to fix once I realized it was a problem.

Imani: Mm, that doesn’t sound like a big deal.

Nate: First year post-merger is critical for chancellor-winters. Devon is afraid that I made us look bad, and he wants to give me a mentor.

Imani: A mentor? Are you serious? You just started your business career. Devon didn’t even give you enough time to prove yourself. Meet febreze’s miracle spray: Febreze fabric refresher.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Mariah: So? What do you think? Don’t you think tessa would make a great model while her voice recovers?

Kyle: Well, I have to admit it is an intriguing idea, and summer did mention finding a fresh face to usher in the new era of the fashion line.

Mariah: Great minds.

Kyle: Of course, I would have to talk to her before I commit to anything. She is the creative eye of the brand.

Mariah: I know that it’s not a done deal. I’m just happy you didn’t dismiss it out of hand. Okay, please don’t say anything to tessa before it’s a done deal, alright? I don’t want to get her hopes up for nothing. Okay? Cool. Hey. Oh. Thank you so much.

Kyle: Thank you.

Voice app: What?

Mariah: What?

Voice app: My voice may be gone, but my eyes and ears still work. What’s going on with you two?

Mariah: No, nothing. I was just discussing this awesome weather that we’re having.

Diane: Maybe having phyllis come to marchetti will give us a chance to bond on some level.

Summer: I think you’re laying it on a little thick now, diane.

Diane: Am I? Think how different things would be if your mother could find a way to forgive me the same way kyle has and jack seems to be on the verge of doing.

Summer: I wouldn’t put too much hope into total forgiveness.

Diane: You’re probably right. It’s probably just wishful thinking on my part.

Summer: I’m not just talking about my mother. I mean, that is a tall order for jack, too.

Diane: I see.

Summer: Diane, I’ve watched you with harrison. I mean, you are absolutely wonderful with him, especially given everything that’s going on. But that doesn’t erase your history.

Diane: I realize that, summer, and I know that I have a lot more work to do in that regard.

Summer: A lot more. Jack is working hard to keep the peace for kyle and harrison’s sake. But, you know, I’m going to give you the same warning I gave my mom. Don’t attempt to manipulate jack the way that you have in the past. I am just as protective of him as I am of kyle.

Diane: Good to know.

Summer: And if you do pull anything at all, you’ll have to contend with me.

Phyllis: Why can’t you believe that my heart is in the right place?

Billy: Okay, just stop. Stop the phony denials for a second, okay, and just hear me out. I’m not here to criticize you. I’m speaking to you as an ex-lover and a semi-friend.

Phyllis: Semi? Pushing it. Really.

Billy: Take this for what it is, phyllis. Let it go. Whatever you have planned for diane, walk away. Because even if you win — and my money’s on you — you will still lose in the end.

Phyllis: What makes you think I will lose?

Billy: Because there is always collateral damage in war. And I’m looking at the battlefield, and I see that collateral damage is going to be summer.

Phyllis: It’ll never be summer. Summer won’t be near the line of fire, billy.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: If there was a line of fire, which there is not.

Billy: Okay, well, let me share another little tidbit of breaking news with you, because it could cause more damage to this equation.

Phyllis: Alright, tell me.

Billy: You’ll be working at marchetti, but, of course, that’s still under the jabot umbrella. Kyle is leaving jabot to go run marchetti. Which means the powers that be at jabot will be shifting.

Phyllis: Who exactly is shifting?

Billy: Brace yourself. Adam. Jack offered adam a job at jabot. (Tonya) smoking damaged my heart.

Phyllis: Adam is working at jabot?

Billy: Believe me, I was just as surprised as you.

Phyllis: What is he going to be doing?

Billy: He’s filling in for kyle. Co-ceo.

Phyllis: Co-ceo? He’ll have power.

Billy: Yeah.

Phyllis: Jack is literally filling his son’s shoes with adam.

Billy: Apparently, adam hasn’t decided whether he wants to take the job or not, but there’s no talking jack out of the offer because we know jack. Not only is he filling a corporate need, but he’s saving adam’s soul.

Phyllis: This is unbelievable. It’s unbelievable. Adam is yet another person who gets an umpteenth chance to redeem himself in jack’s eyes. I mean, this is how it is. It’s diane, adam, and then me.

Billy: Look, I get it, okay, but I think you need to focus on the ramifications, because you know just as well as I do, you throw adam into any mix, it’s a recipe for disaster.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Well, it doesn’t matter with marchetti because summer and kyle are running marchetti. I mean, you don’t think that jack is going to involve adam in that company, do you?

Billy: I don’t know. But if he does, whose side do you think is going to take, yours or diane’s?

Phyllis: Oh, well, adam’s definitely going to take diane’s side, given their history.

Billy: Right.

Phyllis: And jack is just going to follow along and give diane the benefit of the doubt like he’s been doing.

Billy: So think about it. Do you want to be the one responsible for throwing oil on the fire?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Phyllis: [ Scoffs ] I have to take this. Hello?

Nikki: We need to meet.

Imani: I hate that you’re getting so little support from your cousin. You don’t deserve to be treated like that.

Nate: Unfortunately, I don’t think devon’s is going to change his mind. He’s determined to view me as some sort of screw-up.

Imani: That’s ridiculous. I know you could be doing so much more. You have so much potential, and you are so close to taking off and soaring. Maybe devon is threatened by that.

Nate: Thank you, imani. It’s nice to get some support from a colleague for a change. You know, I have felt like devon’s been holding me back.

Imani: Mm.

Nate: But there’s also a chance he might be right. Maybe I overstepped a few times, but not out of malice or arrogance or anything like that. It was from pure enthusiasm. I don’t know. Maybe I need to learn to play the game a little better.

Imani: Mnh-mnh. That’s one way to go, but I don’t agree with that strategy. Clearly, devon needs to be the only one in full control.

Abby: Hey.

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Mwah! How lucky am I to run into you?

Devon: Oh, it’s always good to see you. Oh, and thank you for that new picture of dominic you sent me here. It’s my screen saver now.

Abby: Oh, my gosh. It’s so cute. Chance did the same thing. He wanted to see the picture every time he pulls out his phone.

Devon: Is he going to be stopping by later?

Abby: Oh, no, I highly doubt it. He’s been working these crazy hours trying to tie up any loose ends on the ashland locke car crash.

Devon: What loose ends could there be?

Abby: You know, I keep asking myself the same question, and the more I think about it, the more I think I’m not going to like the answer.

Devon: Why do you say that?

Abby: [ Sighs ] I think chance is keeping something from me because my family’s involved, and that can’t be good.

Phyllis: Where’s ashley? Is she going to grace us with her presence?

Nikki: Oh, I’m afraid not. She had to go out of town on business. Please have a seat.

Phyllis: Out of town on business, huh? Okay, I thought this was supposed to be a group effort, but one of our coconspirators is completely useless, nikki.

Nikki: Oh, no, she is not. She is completely committed to our cause, although she is still concerned about your sabotage plan. In fact, that’s why I asked you to come over, because I need to know the details of your next moves.

Phyllis: The details? I thought we were good. Wait a second. Are you saying that you don’t trust me?

Nikki: Well, in a word, no.

With age comes more…

Devon: I get why you’d be concerned about what chance is working on, but, you know, you can trust him to do the right thing.

Abby: Oh, of course he will. I’m just — I’m worried about my sister. Victoria has been through so much.

Devon: If anybody can handle it, she can.

Abby: Yeah, I keep telling myself that. But enough of me and all of my worries. How are you and amanda?

Devon: Uh… well, I wish I could give you some happier news, but we’re actually going through a difficult time because her mother is dealing with some serious health issues right now. Naya slipped into a coma.

Abby: I am so sorry to hear that.

Devon: Yeah, it’s rough, so amanda is back in virginia right now with her mom, and i wish I could’ve gone with her.

Abby: Oh, well, why didn’t you?

Devon: I offered to go, but she said that it was fine and she had it under control. And, plus, things have been a little tense at chancellor-winters lately.

Abby: Oh.

Devon: So, yeah. Working with family has its own set of complications.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Yeah. I totally understand that. That’s why I’m so happy to have society. It’s my own special place. No judgment, no interference. Yeah, and thanks to you and all the advice that you gave me, this place is a big success.

Devon: Good.

Abby: I just realized something.

Devon: Mm-hmm. What?

Abby: That you, devon hamilton, have been instrumental in two out of the three loves of my life, my work and dominic.

Devon: Mm. Well, at least I’ve done something right.

Abby: Mm.

[ Both chuckle ]

Imani: Listen, I understand that you want to think the best of your cousin, but devon isn’t looking at the bigger picture here. In my opinion, the last thing you need to do is take a step back. If anything, you need to turn up the heat, not give in.

Nate: But I don’t want to create more conflict.

Imani: Maybe not, but it’s clear and sad devon doesn’t value what you bring to the work. And I’m sorry, but slow and steady isn’t going to convince him otherwise.

Nate: So what do you think will?

Imani: Remember how you took the bull by the horns at the launch? Hm?

Imani: People responded so positively to you.

Imani: You need to do something like that again, only bigger and bolder. Something that will demand attention and respect.

Mariah: [ Chuckling ] What? Nothing is going on with us. Seriously.

Kyle: Yeah, we were just catching up. There’s nothing for you to worry about. Hey, there’s my beautiful wife.

Mariah: Hey. Hi, summer. Kyle was just talking about you, actually. All good things, of course.

Summer: I would certainly hope so.

Mariah: And I wish that we could stay and chat, but we have to go.

Summer: Please don’t go on my account.

Mariah: Oh, no, no. No, I think you and kyle need some private time, so we’re going to go, but we’ll see you guys later. Yeah, bye.

Kyle: What’s up?

Summer: I just had a very interesting encounter with your mother.

Kyle: Mm. Interesting how?

Summer: She was spinning this fantasy about my mother forgiving her and the two of them bonding.

Kyle: Well, that’s never going to happen.

Summer: I know. So I have to wonder, are we asking for trouble here, expecting our mothers to peacefully work together?

Kyle: If we pull a job offer from either one of them, it could spur off into something even worse now.

Summer: It would probably launch an all-out war.

Kyle: I think we have to get them to stick to their word.

Summer: And if they don’t?

Kyle: It’s up to us to keep the peace. And there’s still a chance that both our moms could happily surprise us.

Summer: I would so like to believe that that’s possible.

Phyllis: Okay. Surprise. Surprise. Guess what. I don’t trust you and ashley, either.

Nikki: Well, you might be surprised to know that the reason I don’t trust you is somewhat of a compliment.

Phyllis: Oh, really? I have to hear this.

Nikki: Phyllis, I am worried that you might back down at the last minute out of concern for summer, and I completely understand that maternal instinct to want to protect your child. You and I have that in common. But it doesn’t really help our cause. The best way to keep summer and her family safe is to get diane out of town for good.

Phyllis: Yes, I know that. I agree with you. Nikki, I mean, I don’t appreciate your backhanded compliment about protecting my daughter. I don’t appreciate that, especially since I’m the only one in this triumvirate who’s actually doing something. So you have worries, you have concerns. I get it. But until you really contribute, keep your opinions to yourself, okay?

Jack: Hi. Could I get a coffee, black, to go, please? Diane. Hey, I’m glad I ran into you.

Diane: Oh, that’s nice to hear, but why?

Jack: Well, I have been reading to harrison from the books you gave him that deal with loss and grief, and they’ve been very special, very, very helpful. I can already see the positive effects they’re having on him.

Diane: Aww, that’s good. I’m glad. Hey, thank you for sharing that with me.

Jack: The ones I was reading to him today were the teddy bear stories. Yeah, and he got it right away. He saw the parallels between the story and his loss of a man he always thought was his father.

Diane: Well, we’re lucky we have such a bright grandson.

Jack: We are indeed. Thank you. I mean it. Thank you for a very thoughtful gift.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

P-please don’t! Ah…ah…

[Giggling] Hoo-hoo! That tickles! Ohh! Oh! Shh! Spinelli! Oh. Don’t stop. What? What? Spinelli, stop. You’re making a scene. Sorry about my friend. It’s his first time. Ohh. Nothing like the first time. Ha ha! Hah-hah-hah-hah-hah!

[ Scott groaning ] What — what is wrong with you? Are you crazy?! Sweetheart, are you okay? I think he broke my nose. Yeah, I’ll break a lot more than that, baldwin. This has been a long time coming. We may as well be divorced if you insist on living apart. Fine by me. I already signed the papers. You play this wrong, you could pay with your freedom. If my choice is between keeping company with the cassadines or keeping company with convicts, I’ll choose convicts. We’re not all bad. Exception, meet rule. Ava. These will be waiting for you. Just say the word. Okay. What have you done this time? Dante. Come on. This is not necessary. Ada arden begs to differ… given your history of busting out of prison bars. I was gone for all of two hours to pay respects to my mother! I returned to spring ridge the same afternoon. Well, that won’t be a consideration where you’re headed, because slipping out of a prison spa, that’s one thing. Pentonville, quite another. Was that worth the wait? I almost forgot what that felt like.

[ Sighs ] Can’t have that. Mnh-mnh. I, um — actually I have a really short memory. Allow me to remind you. Yeah, getting things straight will have to wait. I am committed elsewhere. Oh, oh. I’m not asking.

Wow! That’s something you could put on your résumé. I’ve never needed a résumé. Yeah. That makes sense. That really makes sense. So, I’m looking forward to finding out about your other marketable skills. Fashion sense. Hm! Marinara sauce. Mm-hmm. Dancing. [ Laughs ] Uh, the two-step, “do the hustle,” you know. You just described a perfect date. You free tomorrow night? I am free tomorrow night. And I’M…free tonight. But you’re not. You’re — no? You’re not free tonight.

[ Chuckles ] No. No, that’s okay. No. No explanation needed at all. Of course, you have plans tonight. One or two. How about if I walk you out? Of course. Am I overstepping? Is this — is this too familiar? Is this what your executive coach suggested? That we become besties? And when I’m sufficiently seduced, you snatch elq out from underneath me? That would be so foolish! Don’t you think you would see that coming the way you saw the merger with aurora coming and seduced ned to voting your way? What are you hoping to get straight, drew? Things are bad between us at the moment. Why do I feel like they’re gonna get worse? Oh, no. No, no, no. No, they’re about to get much better. To my benefit… and to yours. Heya. Martini, please. You know how I like it. Open a tab? Yeah. Charge it to my room. 827. I’m not going home tonight. Or any night. Alexis: What’s up with you and ava? Typical marital strife. Talk of imprisonment is typical for the two of you? It never arose between you and julian? You don’t have to talk to me if you don’t want to. Just tell me it’s none of my business. It’s none of your business. Too bad. I outrank you. Ava and I will sort it out. With adequate legal counsel? It won’t come to that. Ava’s too smart, too pragmatic, and too in love with me to let our marriage die over a stupid mistake. She’s also too proud, too vain, and too scornful to let a “stupid mistake” pass. I don’t mean to be cynical, but I would watch your back. Duly noted. May I ask, what are you doing here? My assistant told me your office called and wanted me to meet you here. I never called your assistant. No. I did. No comment?

[ Scoffs ] You can’t talk to me without my lawyer present. Are you kidding me? Oh. Relax. Give me your hands. I’m here to feed you, not harass you. That’s courtesy of your buddy cameron over at kelly’S. Tell him thanks, but I’m not hungry. Oh, I’d eat it if I were you. I heard the, uh, kitchen at pentonville lost one of its fine-dining stars. Hm! Come on, kid. I got to send laura a good report on you. Otherwise, she’s liable to get on the next plane out of italy and leave your great-grandmother in the lurch. Besides, not to get your hopes up, but apparently your great-uncle martin has been in conference with da scorpio. Your situation may be improving. Martin: Yeah. Hi, darling. I’m here, and I’ve procured us a table. But do me a favor, lucy. Would you please hurry? I am — [ Groans ] Well, it’s been a trying day, and I’m desperate for the kind of comfort that only you can provide. You know what? Come to think of it, how about we forget this little tte–tte at the pub? I am on my way over to yours for a little extra privacy. I’ll see you soon, my love. Ooh. Are you leaving? Yeah. Yeah. I got a hot date. Oh, I don’t want to keep you from lucy. Unless I can… do you one better. -Ahh! -Ah, don’t be such a baby, my sweet little

schnitzel. Your nose is bruised but probably not broken. I can remedy that. Time to go. Yeah. Let’s go, baldwin. Let’s go finish this somewhere more private. -Unh! -Mother! -[ Grunts ] -Aah! You’ll learn. Mess with my bull, get my horns. This is between — ow — me and baldwin. [ Grunts ] Hey, look…man. I don’t even know you. Yeah, well, I know you. In another life, I might even have called you dad. Britt: Whoa! Are you saying that you’re scott’s son?

Thank you for everything. Thank you, miss jones. And I love deception. Oh! I’ll have to send some products over for you. Well, thank you. I appreciate that. So? Review? Uh, life-affirming. I mean, my cuticles are so finely arched. My callouses — no more. Thank you for this treat. I-I have — why haven’t I pampered myself like this before? You’ve been busy! Co-parenting georgie, creating that matchmaking algorithm for society setups… shh-shh-shh. …Harboring a super-secret crush that’s not so super-secret anymore. When were you gonna tell me you have feelings for britt? Nina: Hi. Did you see how blue the sky was today? And the fluffy white clouds? And the air was just so warm, but it wasn’t too humid. It was almost like a storybook. Are you on something? Ava, it’s called life. Why can’t I just be happy? Oh. Do you do happy? Well, I do now. Okay? Excuse me. Pardon me. I’ll have the opposite of what she’s having. Okay. She’ll have a shirley temple, then. Thank you. Uh, how about a cosmo?

[ Chuckles ] Hey, friend. Bad day? Yeah. Sometimes it feels like I know no other. But you — you’re smiling. What’s got you all sunshiny today? It almost feels indecent for me to say. Oh, good god. Are you and sonny finally over the hump? How do you plan on improving my life? By simplifying it. I will take elq off your hands. Ohh. See, I was hoping for something original. Oh, this is about as original as I get. Well, you’re gonna be waiting a while because you’re not getting elq. Or at least until danny comes of age and reclaims his shares from you. Well, perhaps by then, you’ll see things ned’s way and you won’t want to mess with success. Anything is possible. However, my family… reliably chaotic. Your family… just famously predictable. Never heard the cassadines described as predictable. Really? One or more of you is always in trouble or causing it, often to each other. So… what would it be worth to you if there was one less cassadine around stirring things up? Why do I suddenly have the feeling that you were looking for me? Good instincts. Well, how did you know I was here? I didn’T. I trailed you from the courthouse. I didn’t see you at the courthouse. You would have if I’d wanted you to. Huh.

[ Chuckles ] You know, one day you really must teach me some of the tricks of your trade. But for right now, like I said, I really must leave. You know, I-I have a rendezvous with lucy. Okay, well, you’re gonna get a lot more out of my company.

[ Chuckles ] Ms. Devane… I have no doubt that you are good. But that good? Definitely a question that shall have to remain unanswered. Why don’t you just sit down and find out? You won’t be sorry. I need a judge’s ruling on this one. Are you flirting with me? It’s not flirting, martin. It’s foreplay. So sit down… and let’s get to the main event. Yeah? I don’t care what happens to me. Well, that’s a shame, ’cause you got a lot of friends and family who feel otherwise. They don’t have to worry. I got myself into this. I’ll live with the consequences. Oh, how noble. The only people who I care about are the ones who are suffering because of me. Like trina?

[ Wheels roll ] You sure took long enough to come forward as her alibi. Would it have mattered if I’d spoken up earlier? I doubt it. The prosecutor probably would have used the same arguments in court regardless. You were with trina when she posted the video. That wouldn’t have exonerated her. She could have timed it in advance. At least I tried to step up. I hope that means something to trina.

[ Knock on door ] Yeah? Detective, someone here to see mr. Cassadine. Alright. I’ll be right there.

[ Door closes ] Sit tight.

[ Door opens ]

[ Sighs ] Everything okay? I heard about spencer getting arrested. Mm-hmm. Yeah. He, uh — he’s got a real “go it alone” attitude going. So you’re telling me that, uh, he’s gonna need a lot more help? Yeah. Is he gonna get that from you? Is this a joke? Dr. Obrecht: Do you share dna with britta’s boyfriend? He’s not my boyfriend! I don’t know this guy. I’ve never seen him before in my life. That’s not exactly a “no, he’s not my son” denial. Uh, hang on a second here. I’m not the criminal. He’s the one that just sucker-punched me. Your lovemaking is passionate, scott… ugh. …But it’s not always safe. Okay, so, in my youth, my shenanigans caused me to change my will a few times. It doesn’t mean that every joe blow with dollar signs in his eyes is my son! Would you know that for sure? I’ll take a dna test. Okay. Can I get a word in edgewise? Okay? I said that scott could be my father “in another life.” To the best of my knowledge, he’s not my father in this one. So you’re not claiming some family resemblance? I’ve been told I take after my mother. Who is she? Not is. Was. She’s dead and gave you a daughter. My mother was dominique stanton.

An excuse to discuss my so-called feelings for dr. Westbourne?

[ Clears throat ] You played me.

[ Scoffs ] Maximista! Okay, well, I wouldn’t have had to resort to an afternoon of pampering if you had just answered my question in the first place! When did you realize you had feelings for britt?

[ Sighs ] Cody: You got yourself

into this mess. The way I see it, there are only two ways out. Option one — you come clean with britt and get ready for society setups to go belly-up when the feds investigate all of those violations of privacy and security breaches. And the other option? Make everyone believe my cover story. You need to convince everyone that you’re crushing on britt. Maxie: When?! It was a recent development. Okay. In retrospect, I remember you being interested in britt’s first match with society setups. You — you insisted on going to the pc grill so we could check on her date. I didn’t realize your interest was romantic. You hid those feelings pretty well, spinelli. I had no idea. I hardly knew myself.

[ Chuckles ] It’s just — this thing is, you and britt… not a match made in heaven? I-I love britt. I do. She’s just so… cold? Bitter? And you’re so…not. So how in the world did your algorithm pair you two up? Scott: You know, this is all horse hockey. You’re not dominique’s son. Like you didn’t know? Yeah, I do. Because dominique had one kid — our daughter, serena. Mother, did you know about this dominique woman? No, she didn’t, because we decided to leave our past where it belongs — in the past. Dominique stanton, the first face of deception. I had my fingers crossed behind my back when I agreed we shouldn’t discuss our past. Yeah, for good reason, because it was a long time ago when dominique died. And it was horrible. Her death was very slow, hard, and painful. I’m sorry. Well — and you, my friend, have a lot of nerve dredging up her name like it’s yours! I never said it was. My name is bell. Got it from the family that raised me when dominique couldn’T. Or wouldn’T.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Telephone rings ] Don’t take too long. The bus to pentonville…

[ Keys scrape ] …Leaves in an hour. What’s in the bag? Cheese fries. Help yourself. I don’t take food from a condemned man. You’ve been to pentonville, haven’t you? It’s bad, right? Uh, it’s not what you’re imagining, but it’s not, uh, spring ridge. My lawyer’s trying to get my sentence reduced. Because you confessed? And because the only reason that I left was to visit my mother’s gravesite, yeah. But chances are I’m gonna have to serve my original one-month sentence again. Okay, spence, this isn’t by “chance.” T-this is a — a dead certainty. Alright. [ Sighs ] Let’s get you ready. My apologies for the subterfuge, but I suspected you wouldn’t be all that eager to meet with me despite the urgent family need. I’m assuming that “the urgent family need” is to discuss nikolas’ marital woes? Mm, indirectly. This is about spencer, isn’t it? So, at trina robinson’s trial, I heard that spencer gave her an alibi. Causing him to be arrested for his brief absence from spring ridge. And that ada insisted he serve his original one-month sentence, this time at pentonville. Well, I’m not sure what i can do about that. I would be happy to go visit him in pentonville, even though “happy” and “pentonville” are not words that actually go together. Well, it wouldn’t even have to come to that… if you can keep spencer out of pentonville altogether. And how do you figure that? By using the mighty power of the press. I hope I’m mistaken, but I’m definitely sensing a, shall we say, truculence coming from you. I know. I get that way, particularly when I have been lied to or played for a fool. Well, the fool would have to be who was ever stupid enough to underestimate you. It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? Absolutely. A-at any other time on any other day, I’d be honored to offer you the legal services of martin grey, esquire, to put the villain down — thank you so much, martin. I really appreciate that. I need your services. It’s — [ Sighs ] Well, can you at least give me an idea of the — the nature of your trouble? Shall we start with a name? Valentin cassadine. Is a certain former navy seal offering to eliminate a member of my family? Nothing so permanent. And no random cassadine. You’ve piqued my curiosity. Spencer. I mean, he’s a kid, right? He’s frustrating. He’s a little bit annoying, but he’s no real threat to you. Nikolas did manage to wrangle the cassadine estate from you, which I’m sure…that probably stung a little bit. But let’s be honest. That didn’t really slow you down. Now there’s just one cassadine that’s a real concern, one that you could do without. I can get you victor.

I’m happy for you. I thought that maybe the sonny and nina flame had flickered and died. Well, it might have. Yeah, if you had drawn that line in the sand and refused to tolerate carly in his life. Mm-hmm. Well, you know what? Carly’s always gonna be a gnat in our relationship. Mm-hmm. But you know how to handle gnats. Yeah, you smack ’em, squish ’em. Exactly!

[ Chuckles ] Another round here, please. And she’s co-owner of the joint, so she’s definitely buying.

[ Laughs ] Just be careful. Don’t congratulate yourself too soon. Some gnats, certain gnats, they can be very sneaky pests. They can bother the hell out of you. So much so that you might start reevaluating how much sonny’s love means to you. How are you and nikolas? Hmm? Is he pestering you to move back to wyndemere? He won’t if he knows what’s good for him. Okay. What’s happened since the last time we talked? The question is, what hasn’t happened? My guys on the inside will put word out that you’re untouchable. They’re gonna be looking out for you, if you know what I mean. Thank you. Thank you. You don’t have to thank me. You can — you can thank me in 30 days, ’cause these guys aren’t bodyguards. They’re not gonna be on you, like, every minute. But you got to do what I told you to do. Keep your head down, right, and your mouth shut. Don’t make any trouble for anybody, they ain’t gonna make any trouble for you. I got it. I don’t mean to come here to scare you. No. It’s okay. You’re not — you’re not scaring me. I was already scared. You know what, kid? You put your freedom on the line for trina. That took a lot of guts. I’m proud of you. Detective falconeri, dispatch just got a report about a fight at the metro court, pool area. What? I was just there. I’m headed over there now. No, no, no. No, no. No. I got it. Did you say your name was bell? Obviously that means something to you. Why? Well, dominique’s family, the stantons. They had an estate called serenity. The bells, they were the cooks, the groundskeepers. Stable hands. When dominique gave me up, the bells raised me as their own. Yeah, well, that’s impossible, because I wasn’t with dominique long enough to have a kid before serena. No. I arrived long before you hooked up with my mom. But by the time I was old enough to find out the truth about my biological mother, she was dead. My inheritance was gone. Ohh! So that’s what this is about. You’re here grubbin’ for dominique’s money. So…how exactly did this amazing algorithm know that you and britt were a match? Did the code get a kink or something? My code isn’T…kinky. Yet, oddly, it paired you two up. Okay, it wasn’t actually the code. Don’t — don’t blame my code. I — I just… one day… please go on. Like a bolt from the blue, I-I just saw dr. Westbourne and I knew…she was — she was the one. Huh. And when exactly was this moment? When she was stabbing someone in the back with her scalpel after they stole her parking space? Okay. Yes. Opposites attract, okay? I — britt stands up for what she believes. Her sharp edges cleave straight to my heart. When were you gonna tell britt about how you feel? If not for cody bell, I’d never have opened my mouth. Never? What if she reciprocates your feelings? Some words are never meant to be spoken. Martin: Oh, come on, anna. Don’t be ridiculous. You know I can’t do that. For god’s sake. I’m valentin’s attorney. There is such a thing as attorney-client privilege. It’s precisely because of your relationship with valentin that I chose you to help me. Help you how? He’s hiding something, martin. I’m sorry, but you’re just gonna have to seek assistance elsewhere. And, frankly, I’m a little disappointed in you — you’d be willing to exploit my relationship with valentin for your own…ends. You do realize you’re trying to solicit me to engage in malpractice. Hmm? And another thing. He’s not just my client. He’s my friend. And as his friend, I think I have a duty to valentin to tell him that you’re trying to…betray him. Kind of like you betrayed your three ex-wives. Drew: Interested? In tearing down my own father. Father?! Is that how you’re referring to victor these days? If the dna fits… look, I take responsibility for my child. I — I look out for scout. I try to teach her right from wrong. I learn from her. I wipe away a tear when she falls down and scrapes her elbow. Hell, I’ll even go to “disney on ice,” and I’ll enjoy it as much as she does. Do you know why? Because you love her? Exactly. And the years that I spent away from her, in part due to your father, nearly killed me. Now, does that describe victor’s relationship with you? Not really. Look. I’m a father. You’re a father. Victor — he’s not a father. He’s — he’s biology. Name one good or loving thing that he has done for you or charlotte since he’s come into your lives. Well, your concept of family is rather narrow and hopelessly american. We can take down victor together. This help… what’ll it cost me? Elq. How?

Oh, dominique, yeah, she inspired a long list of fortune hunters. But I’ll tell you something right now. I haven’t got one red cent for you! Yeah, because all her money went to serena. Don’t even think about going near her. That’d be the last thing you do. She spent it all trying to save the whales. What the hell? Is there nothing in this world that — anybody knows everything now? It’s the internet. Ugh.

[ Britt laughs ] You know, I actually respect my half-sister’s commitment to the environment. I mean, I believe in preserving wild places and respecting wildlife, as well. But she didn’t have to spend her whole fortune. She could’ve held back a couple million. Well, she didn’T. I only want my fair share. Well, good luck with that. I got nothing to give you. That’s fine with me. I’ll make it on my own. Good. Do that. Leave her out of it. What do i have to do with this? Well, you’ll never see this pauper ever again. He sucker-punched my dear scott. What’s this, now?

[ Sighs ] I don’t doubt you have the meansto neutralize my father. I just want to hear you say it. You’re gonna have to buy me dinner first. I’m not gonna give it up all at once. Especially knowing the cassadine reputation for treachery. So you think I’m going to run to victor with your little plot? Oh, I think you’d be tempted. It works to your advantage for victor to think that you’re loyal. Perhaps i am loyal. I’m sure you are. To your daughter and to anna. But there’s no way that victor is on that list, because I remember the conversation that we had in that cell on cassadine island. You know that he is dangerous. You’re way too smart to want a volatile megalomaniac like him running around. So… just think about it. Decide what it’s worth knowing that your father could one day no longer be a threat to those close to him. My ex-wives adore me. They might adore you a little less if they were aware of the assets that you concealed from them. Sit. I have to say, though… the creativity in the accounting is almost a masterpiece. Almost. I mean, it’s good enough to deceive your average accountant, but it couldn’t quite stand the scrutiny of the wsb. Ms. Devane, I’m sure you have me confused with someone else. I’m sorry. My bad. So you wouldn’t mind, then, if your exes’ attorneys were to review this spreadsheet that I’ve compiled. Spread– yeah. I have it right here. As if it’s any of your business. I have already been more than generous. You know my mother is an invalid? A woman that requires around-the-clock nursing care and has for years. That doesn’t come cheap. So maybe I didn’t feel like letting a kettle of vultures help themselves to money that should rightly be spent caring for mama. Well, perhaps if you were to explain the situation to your exes, I’m sure that they are well aware of your deep commitment to your mother. Leave — what? Leave my ex-wives out of it. You have no idea what they’re like. Well, tell. Go ahead. Well, for one thing, number one is greedy, vindictive, a rapacious, mendacious predator. If it were up to her, there’d be nothing left standing but my beard. Number two, god love her. Number two isn’t exactly a brain trust. Woman actually thought the vatican was a hotel. The only intelligent thing she ever did was line up behind number one. And number three, well, god help us all. The less said about her, the better. So we agree, then? What? That you are at greater risk if you cross your ex-wives than if you were to cross, say, valentin? Here’s the thing. Make no mistake, martin. You are at the greatest risk if you cross me. Trying to save trina might not work. If the jury finds her guilty, I’d have confessed for nothing. It had to be done. If you kept quiet, you wouldn’t be who you are, the man I knew you could be. Jordan says that I could help myself, maybe cut down on my prison time. If I named the people who helped me slip out of spring ridge. Would you still think I’m a man if I told you I was considering turning rat? I’m not going to deploy

the invader to defend spencer, because it would destroy our credibility. It would also backfire on spencer. How? Trina is on trial for a crime that neither spencer or her victims believe that she committed. Can you imagine the uproar if a young white man is set free for a crime that he did do and a young black woman is sent to prison for a crime she didn’t do? That’s a category five blowback. And it will land, rightfully so, on both of you for orchestrating it. Also alienate spencer against you both. Isn’t there something that you could do? Spencer cares deeply for trina. I just saw him at the pcpd. Alexis, he is going crazy over what happened to her. I can’t keep spencer out of pentonville. Although, i can help ease his mind by helping trina.

[ Sighs ] No, it’s too late to make trina’s case. The jury’s already deciding. But it’s not too late to build a case against someone else. Someone else like… esme, for example?

In my line of work, there’s nothing worse than an informant. But then again, you’re not in my line of work. Listen, you need to use whatever tools you have to help yourself. Even if I have to live with the knowledge that I sent someone else down for what I did? What about the people that have to live with your absence? You got to ask yourself, do they stand to gain more if your accomplice goes free or if you do? I have a reporter developing a story on esme. We just don’t have enough for print yet. Well, what if I told you esme left? The prosecution’s star witness? The one everyone thinks did it left? Where did she go? I don’t know. Spencer doesn’t either. I returned home the night the trial ended, and she was gone. So were her things. I might be able to work with that. Well, meanwhile, I’ll continue my efforts to help spencer. Listen, why don’t we meet later and go over our plans to track esme down? Alexis. Nikolas. Alright, whose idea was it to pressure the invader to help spencer? Was it yours or was it victor’s? Does it matter? Yes, it matters. It’d matter a lot to your mom. Well, my mother isn’t in town, and my son needs me.

[ Sighs ] It was victor’s idea. But I’m completely on board. I won’t apologize for doing everything in my power to free my son. Wouldn’t you do the same thing if it were one of your daughters? Anna, I’m serious. Even if I wanted to help you, I can’T. Other than helping him put down that attempted coup over at elq, I haven’t even seen valentin lately. I have no idea what you’re talking about. What lies do you think the man has told you? Okay, look, valentin may not have shared his truth with you yet, but you are in the right position to get it. You just need to stay close to him, martin. Just stay close, and I will coach you on what to uncover. But doing so could ruin me. Cheating your wives out of money is going to ruin you. Okay, look, you come through for me, and I’ll protect you from your ex-wives, okay? At least one and two, greedy and stupid. Number three, she’s no joke. I can’t bear the thought of you bottling up your feelings. It’s not a hardship, and, you know, now that britt has been made aware of my…passion, she’s made it very clear that she doesn’t reciprocate my feelings. Okay, she could change her mind. Stranger things have happened. And you should see if that algorithm matches you two up. No, no. I’d never use my algorithm on my own profile. Never. But if it can zero in on the love of your life… I can’T. Don’t you want to know who it is?

[ Cellphone ringing ] What if my algorithm shows me that I’m matched with someone that I can never have? Oh, it’s austin. Hold on. Austin, hey, I’m running a few minutes late, but I’m leaving soon. We got a call at the station about a fight. It wasn’t a fight fight. It was one measly tap on the nose. Cody assaulted

mein scott. Did you? You are under arrest. Yeah, yeah, I know the drill. Yeah, well, we’re going to go by the book just in case. You have the right to remain silent. Should you give up 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. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you free of charge. Do you understand these rights as I’ve explained them to you? Yes, you did an amazing job. Oh, good. I bet you can recite it in your sleep. So probably going to need a rain check on date number two. Let’s go. Well, I know you have a room here. I thought you and nikolas turned a corner. We did. But around that corner was a big brick wall, and I walked right into it. Mm. You want to talk about it? Do you want to be an accessory after the fact? I don’t follow. Mm, nor do you want to. You’re happy. Look at you, basking in the warmth and light of new love. Cheers to that. I’ll be in touch. Wait. Whatever happened between you and my father is in the past. Don’t drift back into his sights. Or else? No, I’m not trying to intimidate you. That’s obviously not an easy task. My father is ruthless, and if he decides you can’t be threatened, he will target those closest to you. Trust me. I know.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Days of Our Lives logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sonny: [Sighs] Okay, look, chad, um, I’ve been thinking a lot about what helped me when I thought will was gone. All right, and I remembered that work became very important to me. It gave me structure, helped me put one foot in front of the other.

Chad: Yeah, but I don’t have a job.

Sonny: Well, a new vp position opened up at titan. And you are more than qualified. I mean, it’s yours if you want it.

Alex: Actually, no, it’s not.

Allie: These came for you, special delivery.

Chanel: Who are they from?

Allie: Don’t know. Guess you have a secret admirer.

Johnny: Uncle chad, can I borrow some shampoo?

[Suggestive music]

Gwen: Ava! Ava, are you in there? I need to talk to you. It’s really important. Kristen, what the hell are you doing here?

[Door opens]

Warden: Can I help you?

Xander: [Irish accent] Hello. I’m father callum o’brien, and I was hoping I could help you.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Xander: Now, I’m sure you’re a busy lass, but I’ll only be taking a minute of your time. You see, our parish is very interested in helping with your literacy program. Fine, fine work you’re doing–

[Phone rings]

Warden: Excuse me.

Xander: No problem.

Warden: Yes, what is it? Damn it, I’ll be right there. I’m sorry, father, there’s an emergency. If you’ll have a seat, I’ll be back shortly.

Xander: Of course, of course. Take all the time in the world.

Sarah: The warden is on her way to a non-existent prisoner altercation in block C. We have ten minutes to download everything we need.

Xander: And may the holy father be blessing the efforts of this poor child to escape taking the rap for a heinous crime she did not commit.

Sarah: Good god, I’m breaking into prison records with the lucky charms leprechaun.

Xander: Hey, that was liam neeson; it was perfect.

Sarah: You’re right, it totally was. And this could all just be a wild goose chase. I mean, who is stupid enough to keep records of when they just happened to lose track of a prisoner? The warden of statesville.

Xander: Yeah.

Sarah: Yeah.

Kristen: Well, my brother and ava let me crash here when I was released. Being here is bittersweet. I was looking forward to knowing jake a bit better.

Gwen: So sorry for your loss.

Kristen: Oh, and yours. I mean, you and jake were together, right?

Gwen: Yeah, before he stomped all over my heart.

Kristen: You have one?

Gwen: [Clears throat] So where is ava?

Kristen: Well, ava doesn’t live here anymore.

Gwen: Where did she go?

Kristen: The dimera mansion. I’d say that is trading up, wouldn’t you?

Ava: What–what is the matter with you? Don’t you know how to knock?

Johnny: I–I did. You didn’t answer.

Ava: What?

Johnny: You didn’t–you–

Ava: Oh.

Johnny: Look, I’m sorry for barging in on you, but what are you doing in my uncle chad’s bedroom?

Ava: Doesn’t anyone talk to each other in this family? Your father invited me to move in.

Johnny: Uh, why?

Ava: Because I married your uncle.

Johnny: You married my uncle chad?

Sonny: Okay, alex, before we go making any more wild claims, I would like to introduce you to my best friend and the guest of the house, chad dimera. Chad, this is my doofus brother, alex.

Alex: My bad. I’m sorry.

Sonny: You know, you always make, like, the best first impressions.

Alex: I really am sorry, sonny. I’ve been told that I can be–

Sonny: Like, a jerk?

Alex: Very direct when it comes to business.

Chad: Well, we dimeras are always very polite.

Alex: That’s what people say. Alex kiriakis. Don’t move.

Chad: Yeah. Um, I can’t believe we’ve never met. I’ve heard about you forever.

Alex: Same here. Same here. And I’m really sorry to hear about your wife, chad. From what sonny told me, she sounded like an amazing person.

Chad: Thank you. She was.

Alex: I’m sorry about barging in like that. You know, and sonny, I’m surprised that you didn’t know about that, like–

Sonny: About what?

Alex: About why the job is no longer available. Uncle victor gave it to me.

Sarah: And I’m in.

Xander: You’re a veritable mozart on this keyboard, eh?

Sarah: Well, it helps that the warden’s still logged in. Okay, so gwen– how the hell do you spell that last name?

Xander: R-I-z-c-z-e-c-H.

Sarah: Woof. And you’re sure that all the prison records are in the same place?

Xander: I’m pretty sure. It’s kind of like your high school report card. They keep track of every infraction, every license plate you make.

Sarah: Ooh. Got it. Okay, so gwen’s files are downloading. About three minutes, and we can get the hell out of here.

Xander: Language, my child. Ugh, this bloody collar’s choking me.

Sarah: Yeah, but it’s so sexy.

Xander: Sexy?

Sarah: Uh-huh. The roman collar is an essential wardrobe component to the hot priest. Makes a woman want to get him to take it off.

Xander: That’s preposterous.

Sarah: Mm-mm, it’s a very, very real phenomenon.

Warden: Father! Exactly what is going on here?

Migraine attacks?

Sonny: Wait, uncle vic gave you the evp job–when?

Alex: Last night.

Sonny: I am the ceo. He cannot hand you a job without talking to me first.

Alex: I’m sorry, sonny boy. I told you I was interested in the position, and you didn’t seem to have a problem with it.

Sonny: I do–I do not have a problem with it, but it is my call, okay? And I don’t like you sneaking around my back like that.

Alex: I wasn’t sneaking around your back, sonny. Uncle victor came to me. More like he summoned me.

Sonny: I see.

Alex: And I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were interested in the job.

Chad: It’s okay. I wasn’T.

Alex: And I’m sorry that uncle victor didn’t tell you about this. I told him that you should have been sitting in on that meeting.

Sonny: It’s fine. It’s fine. Okay.

Alex: Okay.

Sonny: We’ll just–we’ll talk about it later. Anyways, I’m sure chad doesn’t want to watch us hash this out.

Alex: Fair enough. I was on my way to hr. Apparently, there’s a mountain of paperwork for me to fill out. So see you at the office?

Sonny: Guess so.

Alex: Chad, nice to meet you, man.

Chad: [Groans]

Sonny: So you have met my brother now.

Chad: Really reminds me of someone. I can’t think of who, though.

Sonny: Drawing a blank.

Xander: Warden, I can only imagine how that must have looked to you.

Warden: Who is that woman?

Xander: This would be mary frances mchugh, the president of our sodality.

Warden: Doesn’t it make that little episode even more inappropriate?

Xander: Ah, well, I’m afraid that mary frances does have difficulty with impulse control. In fact, we should probably be going, mary frances. I fear that that initial pat down has got her over-stimulated.

Warden: Wait a minute. You look familiar, father.

Xander: Well, I’ve been told that I do bear a passing resemblance to st. Sebastian. Poor lad; that must have been very painful. And truly, the number of arrows was very excessive. Hey, mary frances, we should really be going. I have a feeling that you’re in need of a damn good confession. And warden, may the wind be always at your back.

Gwen: Well, I knew jake and ava were living together. I didn’t realize they were thinking of getting married.

Kristen: Hm. Neither did I. So what is it that you wanted to talk to ava about?

Gwen: Just wanted to say that I’m sorry about jake.

Kristen: Really? “I need to talk to you. It’s so very important. Thank god you’re here.” I mean, it seems a particularly urgent condolence call. So gwennie, what’s the real reason you’re here?

Johnny: You married my uncle chad? Look, my aunt abigail just died. His children just lost their mother!

Ava: Okay, calm down. Didn’t marry your uncle chad.

Johnny: Then why are you in his room? Where is he?

Ava: I married your uncle jake.

Johnny: Ah. Oh. Sorry, my uncle jake’s not exactly the first thing that comes to mind when you say “my uncle.” I take it, since I never even heard about it, it wasn’t a very big wedding?

Ava: Yeah, sorry you weren’t invited. No one was.

Johnny: Yeah, I don’t blame him for not wanting to have a bunch of dimeras there. Look, I was never really close with the guy, but, uh, I am sorry for your loss.

Ava: Thanks. It’s good to know that someone cared enough to let you know he was dead.

Johnny: In fairness, I haven’t been around much lately. So my father has invited you to stay here.

Ava: Yeah. He was very compassionate, very generous– as soon as he found out that I had inherited jake’s estate.

Johnny: Ah. Ah. Well, welcome to the family. You might want to think about getting a food taster. I will grab some shampoo, be out of your way. Uh… sorry about that.

Ava: I’m not.

Johnny: Well, I guess we’re even then. Oh, there.

[Door closes]

Allie: My brother is such a dimera. He said, “oh, of course I’m gonna accept chanel’s decision,” but no, no, he knew the whole time he was gonna fight.

Chanel: Uh, horton.

Allie: And flowers? Flowers? Come on. Be original. Like, what’s he gonna do, start writing you sonnets?

Chanel: They’re from my mother.

Allie: Oh. Oh, cute. Um, what’s the occasion?

Chanel: Oh, you know, nothing. Mama doesn’t need a reason to send flowers. It was probably just a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Allie: Okay, then why does the card say “I’m sorry?” Sorry for what? Hey. Dupree, come on. What are you not telling me?

Chanel: Promise you won’t get mad.

Allie: No. Out with it.

Chanel: Well, you were kind of right about johnny. He hasn’t accepted my decision to be with you, and he wanted to get me back, and for, like, a nanosecond, mama thought about helping him.

Allie: And you want me to not be mad, even though your mother would rather you be with johnny, and was going to help him?

Chanel: She was just worried about me, but then she realized that she doesn’t need to be.

Allie: Wait a minute, help him–help him do what?

Chanel: See, this is why I didn’t want to come between you and your brother–

Allie: Help him do what?

Chanel: Look, just– just leave it alone, okay?

Allie: No, okay, sorry, no, I can’t do that. Not gonna happen. And if you’re not gonna tell me what he did, then I’ll go get it straight from the jackass’ mouth.

Chanel: That’s gonna go great. Shingles.

Sonny: It makes me so mad!

Chad: Okay. I didn’t even want the job, sonny.

Sonny: That’s not the point. All right, uncle vic had no right going behind my back like that.

Chad: What did you think, that victor kiriakis was just gonna make you the ceo of titan and then go down to the basement and start making birdcages for fun?

Sonny: No, but it’s still my company. And why would he go to alex, of all people?

Chad: You think alex is lying?

Sonny: I don’t– you’re the one who warned me about working with my brothers.

Chad: Yeah, no, I shouldn’t have done that. I was angry at ej. Alex seems like a good guy.

Alex: [Laughs] Sweet bits. Excuse me, I’m sorry. Do you know who came up with the name sweet bits?

Chanel: I did.

Alex: Really? Okay, I’m sorry, you do know there are gonna be some people who might read into that as something a bit provocative.

Chanel: [Sarcastically] No.

Alex: There are people whose minds really work like that. It’s sad.

Chanel: Yeah, it is sad.

Alex: Yeah.

Chanel: Mm-hmm.

Alex: So you named this place.

Chanel: Mm-hmm.

Alex: Does that mean this is your place?

Chanel: Does that surprise you?

Alex: No. Not at all. I’m intrigued. I mean, you’re out here working the crowds, being hands-on with your business. I like it. What do we got going on? What’s the spread?

Chanel: Let’s see. So we have bear claws, petit fours, and passionfruit mousse.

Alex: Passionfruit mousse…

Chanel: Mm-hmm.

Alex: For the win. How much?

Chanel: Oh, it is a free sample, actually, to entice you into the store.

Alex: Here’s a free business hint. You’re not gonna entice any guy to go in there when you’re standing out here.

Chanel: [Laughs] Yeah, I see. You are one of those smooth-talking big city boys my mama warned me about.

Alex: Mm-mm. Sorry, mama. Salemite, born and bred. I’m actually just moving back here to be closer to the family. I’m alex.

Chanel: Chanel.

Alex: Chanel. How french. Oui, oui. It’s nice to meet you. Or should I say enchenté.

Allie: Hey! We need to get some things straight.

Johnny: Oh, hey, allie. Something wrong?

Allie: Yeah, you know something’s wrong. I just heard from chanel that you tried to recruit her mother to help break us up?

Johnny: She turned me down–

Allie: Okay, johnny, that’s not the point. Look, you said that you were going to accept and respect chanel’s decision. I won. And that means that you now need to deal with the fact that chanel and I are together.

Ava: Oh. Are you? Well, that didn’t take long.

Gwen: Paying condolences is very important.

Kristen: Mmm. Since when are you and ava even friends? She got you sent to prison before I got you out.

Gwen: And I’m very grateful for that.

Kristen: Good. So then prove it to me by telling me what you’re hiding. What’s the deal between you and ava, gwen, hm?

Sarah: I just pray to god we downloaded everything before the warden came back.

Xander: I’m just glad that we got out of there before she remembered that I was a guest of the state at one point. So what have you got?

Sarah: Mm, visitor logs, call logs, disciplinary records.

Xander: That is a lot of dress code violations.

Sarah: Oh, my god. Look at this. Abigail was killed on june 10th. This shows that gwen went missing from bed check on june 10th. Unaccounted for for several hours. Which means no one knew where gwen was when abigail was murdered. -Well, I’m not 100% sold yet. -Okay, have you considered —

Sarah: So now the question is, is this enough to take to the cops?

Xander: We still don’t have enough evidence. We can’t prove that gwen left the prison that night.

Sarah: No. But we do know that lucas swore that he saw me at the mansion that night. And I can prove that that wasn’t me. We could go to the cops and tell them that we found that damn mask in gwen’s suitcase and that she took off with it and tried to get rid of it. And now we can prove that she went off the radar that night.

Xander: But–

Sarah: But we don’t have the mask. And we can’t prove that she left statesville that night.

Xander: And that new lady detective ain’t exactly open to hearing what we have to say.

Sarah: Hmm. But we know that gwen did it, so now we just have to figure how.

Xander: Maybe she bribed a guard.

Sarah: Yeah, but then why would it be reported? Wouldn’t a guard want to cover their tracks? Could it be somebody from the outside?

Xander: Let’s check the visitor logs.

Sarah: Wait. Abigail visited gwen that day.

Xander: Well, that is very interesting, but I don’t see abigail helping gwen get out.

Sarah: Mm-mm. And the only other person that visited gwen that day was me. I went to tell her the good news about us getting back together.

Xander: I’m sure she was thrilled for us.

Sarah: I really did enjoy rubbing that particular salt in her wounds.

Xander: Oh, look, so the next day, she sees leo stark and… ava vitali?

Sarah: Ava? That’s strange.

Xander: Right. I mean, ava sold gwen down the river to get immunity. Why would she be visiting her?

Allie: What are you doing here?

Ava: I live here. It’s a long story.

Allie: Right. Ah, well, this is kind of a private conversation.

Ava: Oh, about your girlfriend? That’s sweet. But wait, just explain something to me. Wasn’t it just, like, what, a month ago that you told my son that you loved him?

Allie: Yes, but–

Ava: But you were wrestling with your sexual identity? Right, you were trying to feel your way through, so to speak, and so instead of being direct with tripp, you decided that you’d string him along and give him mixed signals, so basically you just drove him out of town.

Allie: I am sincerely sorry for hurting tripp.

Ava: For hurting him? You broke his heart. He literally died for you, and then you dumped him.

Allie: Ava, I don’t want this to sound like a threat, because it’s not a threat. It’s just the truth. You and I need to be very careful with each other– for henry’s sake, because I want you to be in his life. I really do. But that’s not gonna happen if you speak to me like this.

Ava: Understood. You’re right.

Allie: Thank you. And just wondering, since when were you team johnny? I didn’t even know that you knew him.

Johnny: Oh, intimately.

Allie: Hm? What was that?

Johnny: I said you need to relax.

Allie: Not if you keep trying to come between me and chanel.

Johnny: I’m not. I’m over her, promise.

Allie: Mm-hmm. I know how much a dimera promise means. Just back off, johnny. Or I’ll have to go full brady on you.

Gwen: I don’t see how my relationship with ava is any of your business.

Kristen: I have been frozen out of my family’s business. Meanwhile, ava has inherited jake’s stock, and since ej needs to claw his way back to the head of that company, he has moved ava into my house.

Gwen: So you are looking for something that you can use against her.

Kristen: Mm, maybe.

Gwen: I’m sorry. I can’t help you.

Kristen: Can’t or won’t?

Gwen: Can’T.

Kristen: Fine. You and ava can have your little secrets, but don’t forget what I did for you. After all, I may be asking for something in return one of these days. I was on an antidepressant,

Sonny: I mean, when I was younger, joe and vic could be, like, huge jerks. Like, it was like they genuinely enjoyed making my life a living hell, but then alex would take them aside and, you know, make them reconsider their role as older siblings.

Chad: Sometimes all it takes is the right word.

Sonny: [Laughs] Yeah. If I’m being honest, I used to– I thought alex walked on water.

Chad: Thought? Past tense?

Sonny: I don’t know. It’s just, he seems to think that, you know, he needs to– or he gets to watch over me, like it’s the natural order of things, that he’s always gonna be in charge.

Chad: Is that what happened in phoenix?

Sonny: No. No, I think it was just different opinions on the chain of command.

Chad: Mm. It is so surprising to hear about conflict within a family business.

Sonny: Funny. It’s like, I don’t even have a problem working with alex. I just, I don’t want to fight with him the same way joe and vic did.

Chad: Well, looks that way.

Sonny: I was gonna give him a job at titan. Just not this one. I guess I have no choice now.

Alex: This is the best thing I have ever tasted–almost.

Chanel: Well, come back tomorrow and we’ll have mango.

Alex: Mm? Oh, my god. I can’t believe there is a patisserie like this here in salem. It’s unbelievable. And it’s amazing how much this place has actually changed. Maybe you could, um, help me get reoriented.

Chanel: You know what, there is an app for that.

Alex: An app?

Chanel: Mm-hmm.

Alex: I was thinking more of, like, a, you know, night on the town? Maybe a little dinner, maybe a lot of drinks, maybe a lot more dancing in those shoes.

Chanel: Sorry, I can’T.

Alex: You can’T. You have a boyfriend. Should have known.

Chanel: I did, but we broke up.

Alex: You broke up? So he’s blind. He’s an idiot? Oh, he’s both.

Chanel: Neither.

Alex: Neither? So then, what’s the problem? I’m single. You’re single.

Chanel: I didn’t say that.

Alex: But you did say you broke up with your boyfriend.

Chanel: Mm-hmm. And now, I’m with my girlfriend. Oh, and there she is now.

Ava: Sorry I shot my mouth off like that.

Johnny: You know, she really does feel bad about tripp.

Ava: Yeah? Well, I guess I’m gonna have to just get used to it. Speaking of which, did you mean what you said? You’re really– you’re really over chanel?

Johnny: Well, I don’t have a choice. Pining after someone’s not really my style. And I hate fighting with my sister, so.

Ava: Oh, yeah, well, I can see why.

Johnny: You know, the problem is, I’m just– I’m not very good at letting things go.

Ava: Oh, I can relate.

Johnny: Hm. Anyway, uh, thanks for having my back, especially since we just met.

Ava: Oh, well, like you said, we are now intimately acquainted.

Johnny: Yeah. Yeah. Again, I’m sorry about that.

Ava: Ah, it’s all forgotten.

Johnny: Really?

Ava: Well, mostly.

Gwen: You let me know when you’re ready to call in that favor.

Kristen: I will. And give ava my regards.

Gwen: You know, I can’t help wondering. Ava is in your family’s mansion, while you, the dimera heiress, are stuck living in this dump above a garage.

Kristen: Hm. Well, the smell of motor oil makes me feel so close to jake. Truth is, ej offered to let me move into his mansion, but he wanted certain concessions I wasn’t willing to make.

Gwen: Trust me, that mansion is not at all all that splendid. It is bloody haunted, I swear it is. And it looks like a mausoleum.

Kristen: [Chuckling] Well, I will be redecorating it one of these days.

Sarah: So in addition to abigail, gwen made two phone calls on the day of the murder, one before I went to visit her and one after. The first one was to leo, and the second was to ava vitali.

Moving forward with node-

positive breast cancer

Chanel: How did it go?

Allie: Well, you’ll be happy to hear that there was no bloodshed. You have mousse on your face.

Alex: Thank you.

Allie: Yeah. You’re welcome.

Chanel: Horton, this is…

Alex: Alex kiriakis.

Allie: Oh, no way, sonny’s brother.

Alex: Yeah, that’s right.

Allie: Hey. Allie horton.

Alex: Nice to meet you.

Allie: Nice to meet you.

Chanel: You’re a kiriakis. I’m surprised you didn’t lead with that.

Alex: Ah.

Chanel: He was just hitting on me.

Alex: Until I found out that you guys were gay.

Allie: Actually, I’m bi.

Chanel: And I’m me.

Alex: And I’m honest. You two are a very, very sexy couple.

Allie: Ooh, not the classic straight guy thinking two women together is hot.

Alex: Yes. That’s because it is. Now, I just got turned down by your girlfriend when I was hitting on her. So maybe instead, I could take out the both of you.

Allie: And why would you do that?

Alex: Because the only people I know in this town are my relatives. And I think it would be amazing to have two beautiful women showing me around town. My treat, of course.

Allie: Mm. I don’t know.

Chanel: Horton, my mama told me to never turn down a five-star meal.

Alex: Five-star?

Chanel: I mean, we deserve nothing but the best, and you look like you can afford it, so.

Alex: Touché.

Chanel: So what do you say?

Allie: Sure. Why not?

Sarah: So I went to see gwen, got her all riled up. Next thing you know, she calls ava, somehow gets out of prison, abigail is killed, and then ava comes back to see gwen the next day?

Xander: And what about leo? I mean, he made contact with gwen before and after abigail was murdered too.

Sarah: Yeah. But leo is gwen’s friend, so he had a reason to visit. Ava didn’T.

Xander: Right. Also, ava has those mob connections. I mean, she’s probably the one person besides the governor who has the pull that you would need to get gwen out of statesville.

Sarah: Looks like we need to go have a talk with ms. Vitali.

Johnny: So if you need anything, just let me know.

Ava: Like shampoo.

Johnny: Just help yourself. We’re one big happy family here. Right, nonno? You.

Gwen: Hi. Yeah, harold let me in.

Johnny: Did he really? Well, it’s great to see you, gwen, as always. Please feel free to stop by anytime. I’ll see you later, ava.

Gwen: Well, wasn’t exactly a warm welcome.

Ava: Well, what did you expect?

Gwen: [Sighs] Nothing. I don’t expect much of anything these days. Look, I need to talk to you.

Ava: Okay. How did you know I was here?

Gwen: I went to your old flat; kristen told me.

Ava: Oh. How is our old friend?

Gwen: Oh, my–bloody hell. Is–is that my ring?

Ava: Yeah, um, I’m sorry. I’m sorry, jake– jake got it for me.

Gwen: Oh, he did, did he?

Ava: Yes, he did. I asked him to bring it back because I didn’t want to hurt your feelings, and–

Gwen: And?

Ava: I was afraid it was gonna bring bad luck. Sorry.

Gwen: Yeah, well, you were right about that.

[Sighs] I never actually thought that you and jake would get married.

Ava: Well, we did. But I can’t imagine that you came all the way over here to tell me that.

Gwen: No. They brought sarah horton in. Turns out that they have evidence that she may have killed abigail. But now she has an alibi, so that means–

Ava: The police are gonna be looking for someone else.

Gwen: Yes. Which is why you have to swear you are not gonna tell anybody that you helped me get out of statesville the day that abigail was killed.

Ava: Is that because you’re the one who killed her? Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Sonny: Listen, chad, um, when I thought I lost will, I mean, I was so overwhelmed by grief that I thought I was never gonna get out of it. So I started talking to someone, a counselor. And it didn’t bring will back, but it made me feel a hell of a lot better.

Chad: Well, the only person I have to talk to right now is thomas, so I’m gonna go home and see if I can make things right with him.

Sonny: I know you will.

Chad: I wish I was as sure as you are. Thank you.

Sonny: Go talk to thomas.

Chad: Yeah. Boop.

Sonny: And I’ll talk to alex.

Alex: Well, I would give you my business card, but it’s still at the printers.

Chanel: Well, I’ll be in touch.

Alex: Okay. And I’ll know where to find you if you’re not, little miss sweet bits.

Chanel: He’s cute, isn’t he?

Allie: Uh, should i be jealous?

Chanel: What, you didn’t think he was cute?

Allie: No, he’s smoking hot. I just–you know, I’m excited to see where he takes us.

Chanel: So how did it go with johnny?

Allie: Oh, well, I went over there expecting to serve him his head on a platter, and instead I got mine handed to me. Tripp’s mom was there.

Chanel: What was she doing there?

Allie: I really don’t know.

[Suggestive music]

Gwen: No, of course I didn’t kill abigail. But yes, I had motive, and if the cops find out that I had opportunity, that’s not–that’s not gonna look good for either one of us.

Ava: Oh, are you threatening me? After I went out of my way to do you a favor.

Gwen: I’m just pointing out that it would be in our mutual interest for both of us to keep our mouths shut.

Ava: Well, don’t worry. Your secret is safe with me.

Xander: So it sounds like ava could be the key.

Sarah: Yeah, she has to be. If we can figure out how ava got gwen out of prison, then we can prove that gwen is the one that killed abigail.

Kristen: Rolf, it’s me. How’s stefan? Any change? Yes, I know you said it would take some time, but as you are well aware, I am not a very patient person. I need this done. Stefan dimera is not staying on ice forever.

Steffy: You and dad kissed, that has to mean something.

Taylor: It always means something.

Steffy: Okay, so did you guys talk about it?

Taylor: We did, kind of I mean, he’s trying to avoid it and he’s being cute about it, which is totally annoying. So– I don’t know.

Steffy: Look at you. Okay, you don’t know what this meant to dad but it’s uh, it’s pretty clear it meant something to you.

Brooke: Oh ridge, you should be overjoyed right now. Your daughter’s family is back together and her husband is alive.

Ridge: I am extremely grateful for all of that.

Brooke: But… there’s something else on your mind. It’s okay. If there’s something troubling you or you’re worried about something, I’m the one to share it with. So what is it? You can talk to me.

Liam: How long are the kids gonna be out?

Hope: Um, a while I uh, I told aunt donna to text me when she’s coming back.

Liam: That’s a good idea my very smart, very hot wife.

Hope: You know what, I’m full of ideas right now.

Liam: Oh yeah, like what?

Hope: Mmm…

[ Sighs ]

Taylor: I’m not trying to make a big deal out of it, you know, it’s– it was just one really long kiss.

Steffy: Yeah, one kiss with the man you love in one of the most romantic places in the world.

Taylor: We had a moment.

Steffy: Just a moment?

Taylor: Uh-huh. I mean, it seemed significant at the time, you know, but as always, it’s complicated.

Steffy: Complications are a cop-out. That’s what I believe now, I do. I mean, ever since the shooting, finn coming back into my life, like, I realized life is too precious. You got to go out there and get what you want.

Taylor: See, that’s never been a problem for you. You’re my inspiration. My brave, adventurous girl.

Finn: Hey, I’m back.

Steffy: Don’t say anything about li

Taylor: Of course not.

Steffy: Hi.

Finn: Hey.

Steffy: How was your appointment?

Finn: Good, I mean, I almost missed it. So many people were stopping me to say hello.

Steffy: Okay, what happened with your exam?

Finn: Oh, they’re just, they’re gonna keep me on the same meds that my mom had me on but, I’m doing remarkably well.

Steffy: He didn’t say anything else? That’s it?

Finn: Yeah, yeah.

Taylor: Okay, that’s– that’s a relief.

Finn: Okay, well, I hope you aren’t too worried about it. I– I get the feeling like I’m walking in on something.

Steffy: It’s nothing bad. I was just actually having a conversation with my mom. She has, uh, she has some wonderful news.

[ Taylor stammers ]

Brooke: Ridge, you’re very thoughtful and you hate to see the people closest to you upset.

Ridge: It’s true.

Brooke: Is it sheila?

Ridge: Sheila? What? No, I– no. What do you mean? I don’t–

Brooke: Well, I don’t know if something’s on your mind. Is it something about li? Why keep this all bottled up? I mean, we’re so excited about the future.

Ridge: So am I. I am too.

Brooke: Yes, of course you are. You and taylor must be through thrilled to know that finn’s alive, that he’s back with steffy and her family and now you don’t have to worry about her anymore.

Ridge: It was– it was crazy not– not just hearing his voice on the phone that was– was weird enough but then he showed up in the hotel room and it almost felt like, like this– like everything was lifted and this fog was gone and taylor and I, we got swept up in it, you know?

Brooke: I’m sure. What you and taylor shared in monaco must have been extremely special.

Ridge: Yeah, it was.

Without the right start

to your day…

[ Hope sighs ]

Hope: I never want this to change.

Liam: Never, huh? You don’t think that could get a little, uh…

Hope: Mmm. Mm-mm. Not with you. And I love you. And I love our family. And I love these moments where we can just reconnect with each other. And bask in each other’s love.

Brooke: I’m not trying to pry. I do understand that what happened in monaco was very significant for you and taylor. You guys are her parents. And you were worried about her. I know it’s hard to see a child suffering and you can’t ease their pain. But after all that time that steffy was grieving, it must’ve been amazing to see her happy again.

Ridge: Just seeing those guys walk into the hotel room holding hands. It– I don’t– I don’t know how to explain it.

Brooke: It’s okay, you don’t have to explain everything to me. Those memories are for you and taylor.

Ridge: It’s just a lot to process.

Brooke: Oh, you’ll just tell me in your own time. I’m just so thrilled for you.

Finn: Wow, unexpected reunions are breaking out all over.

Taylor: Well, it’s–

Steffy: Look you and dad kissed. It doesn’t guarantee anything. But… obviously, you’re feeling something.

Taylor: I sure felt something. What? No, we were swept up in the moment of joy, that was it.

Steffy: I get that you want to protect yourself. You have been burned before.

Taylor: Yeah. Multiple times, for years. Your father just moved in with brooke.

Steffy yeah, but then you guys went to monaco.

Taylor: Yeah, well, that hasn’t changed since we got home.

Steffy: He’s just helping her after her accident.

Taylor: She probably fell on purpose.

Steffy: That’s true

Taylor: No, I think it’s more than him just helping her out.

Steffy: Has he recommitted himself to brooke? No, he hasn’T. And after that kiss, I dunno, he might not.

Taylor: I don’t want to think about it. I– I really don’T. I just, I– I don’t want to think about it. I don’t want to get wrapped up in all of this. You know, right now, the most important thing to me is– is you and finn being together. Your beautiful family. You know, you know I came downstairs this morning and– and kelly was singing at the top of her lungs and she was doing these happy little turns in the middle of the living room. And this whole house is filled with love again and joy and happiness. And hayes has his father back and kelly has a reason to sing. Please don’t wish anything for me, okay, because, because my heart’s desire is right here in front of me.

Steffy: I love you so much.

Taylor: I love you too. I love you both. And on that note, I’m gonna get out of here because I’m not sure when amelia’s gonna come back with the kids but you two deserve some much-needed privacy.

Finn: I like the way your mom thinks.

Steffy: So do I.

And it’s easier than ever to get

your projects done right .

Finn: We’re alone.

Steffy: Now you can tell me how you really feel.

Finn: What? That’s not obvious?

Steffy: How did it go with the doctors and your appointment?

Finn: It’s kind of a mood killer babe.

Steffy: Not if there’s something wrong.

Finn: There’s not. Okay, I’m all good. I’m still healing but there’s no permanent damage.

Steffy: So… no restrictions. No orders to take it easy.

Finn: No.

Steffy: Okay.

Finn: I can, uh, resume normal activity right away.

Steffy: I know how long we’ve been apart. Normal activity means something a little different to us.

Finn: She said not to worry, I’m getting stronger every day.

Steffy: Good. I’m glad to hear it.

Brooke: I hope I didn’t come at a bad time.

Liam: Oh, no, no, no, no, it’s fine.

Hope: Yeah, it’s totally okay. So, how are things going with ridge? Any uh, backlash from that photo I posted yet are we–

Brooke: Honey I told you not to worry about that. Deacon is the last thing on my husband’s mind right now.

Liam: Really? Why? What’s going on?

Brooke: I just think that ridge and taylor are still overwhelmed by finn’s return.

Liam: Well yeah, I mean it’s– it’s emotional whiplash. They went over to monaco because they were so concerned about steffy, only to find out that the man she’s been grieving is alive.

Brooke: Seems like what happened there had a very profound impact on ridge.

[ Knocking ]

Ridge: Hey, you’re back. Hi.

Taylor: Hi. Is this a bad time?

Ridge: Never a bad time. Actually, I was just thinking about you

Taylor: Yeah? Tell me more.

Steffy: Whoa.

Finn: It’s not quite as romantic as monaco.

>Steffy: It definitely is. To have you be here… in our house… I never thought I was gonna get a moment like this. To see you, to feel you. You have no idea how much I needed that. Kids can change minds…

Liam: Ridge has gotta be thrilled though.

Brooke: Oh he is, of course. We all are. But still, a sudden shift like that, no matter how wonderful it is, can still throw you off balance a little bit.

Liam: Huh. I think I know someone who could help him out with that.

Brooke: Yeah? I’ll be there of course and I’ll be supportive. But still, ridge and taylor experienced something incredible over in monaco, and this is their moment.

Liam: Well, it’s very cool of you to even let them have it, so.

Brooke: A little while ago, I may not have been as magnanimous but ridge is living with me right now. Not sure exactly what that means for our marriage, but I just… I don’t want him to have to choose between our family and his family with taylor.

Ridge: So, what’s it like at the house? Party central, I bet, huh?

Taylor: Yeah, yeah, it is. It’s literally the happiest house I’ve ever been in.

Ridge: I bet it is.

Taylor: You’re welcome to join us anytime.

Ridge: Oh, thank you. Yeah, I was thinking about that driving into work this morning, how– how it must be over there at the breakfast table. Everyone laughing and noisy and…

Taylor: Yeah. You miss it?

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: Like I said, you are welcome to come anytime you want. Except this afternoon.

Ridge: Why not this afternoon?

Taylor: Because um, our daughter and her husband are reconnecting.

Ridge: Oh!

Taylor: Yeah, so–

Ridge: That’s, that’s why you’re here

Taylor: Yes. Yes, I needed to give them some privacy. Right?

Ridge: Enough said. Got it.

Taylor: Ah ridge, it’s– it’s so amazing that finn is home and steffy and finn got a second chance. What’s better than second chances, really? Except for maybe third or whatever the number may be.

Steffy: I thought I lost you

Finn: But you didn’t and you won’T.

Steffy: I’m never gonna take another moment with you for granted. We need to show each other and we need to tell each other… how much we love one another.
