TJ: Grandpa accused Drew Cane of making him a fake job offer. He figured out it was a ruse to run some kind of background check and… and that’s why he left town. Am I right?

Curtis: Yeah. And he was not too happy about it.

TJ: I don’t blame him. So what’s your plan?

Curtis: My plan?

TJ: To find grandpa and bring him back?


Carly: I cost Nina her daughter? Have you forgotten your big plan to pass Sasha off as Nina’s daughter? Have you forgotten how hurt she was? Hell, I almost felt sorry for Nina at the time.

Valentin: I’ve never claimed to be perfect.

Carly: And you were the one who met with Nina’s mother, right? If you would have told Nina the truth at the start, I’m sure your search would have led to Nelle. In my opinion, I think it was a gift. You spared Nina the nightmare of trying to be a mother to Nelle, who was broken and dangerous. But I doubt Nina feels that way. So, if you ask me, if anyone’s responsible for costing Nina a relationship with her daughter, it’s you.


Chet: Is this seat taken?

Terry: Teal shirt. So far, I’m not disappointed at all.

Chet: Oh. Neither am I.

Terry: Same shirt, same opening lines. Is this Valentine’s déj vu?

Chet: Nope. And I’m not the mistaken date. I am the real deal.


Josslyn: I’m so glad that you suggested this instead of hitting the gym. I am so tight, and I need to stretch.

Trina: My mom swears by this class. I’m just glad we got here early. Fewer people, the better.

Josslyn: Well, I’m so glad you decided to come with me. I could use all the support I could get whipping myself back into shape so that I’m a beast by volleyball season.

Trina: You’ll be unstoppable.

Carly: Thank you. I hope so. I just can’t wait to get my life back on track.

Trina: I know the feeling. [ Sighs ] When this trial is over, I’ve grabbing life and I’m going for it.


Spencer: What?

Cameron: Now that you’ve learned how to bus tables, where are we with Esme? Have you dug anything up?

Spencer: You know, these things, they have to be finessed. It takes time.

Cameron: Look. I have been covering for you and lying to Joss. I need to know that the hell that I’ve been catching is worth it. I mean, is this plan to exonerate Trina even working?

Spencer: As much as I wish I could say yes, I… I haven’t found anything yet. I haven’t — I haven’t uncovered anything about Esme.

Cameron: And I thought you were the master of stealth. You used to be good at sneaking around.

Spencer: I know, I know. But Esme is brilliant at covering her tracks. Even her secrets have secrets.


Esme: “Dear Esme, I was so glad to get your letter with all your good news, winning prizes at school and a big circle of friends. Your life in Port Charles sounds like a success. I’m especially glad to hear that you and Spencer are happy and closer than ever.”


Nina: Hey. Sorry. I’m so sorry. Time just got away from me. I was strategizing with Scott about my visitation hearing.

Ava: Oh. Sounds like Scott has learned his lesson. No more sneak attacks like in Pennsylvania?

Nina: No, he definitely learned his lesson. This time when he goes after Willow, it’ll be on my orders.


Terry: To talking IRL. Welcome home.

Chet: To finally making this happen.

Terry: How was your trip back?

Chet: Are you as nervous as I am?

Terry: Oh. [ Laughs ] You first.

Chet: After you. Okay. Is this how it’s gonna be like all night?

Terry: We did better texting. Maybe we should pull out our phones?

Chet: Well, then we’d be looking down all evening. I wouldn’t be able to look into those beautiful eyes.

Terry: [ Chuckles ]

Chet: Was that cheesy?

Terry: But effective.


Valentin: Carly, it would be nice if we didn’t have to litigate the past.

Carly: Great. But you started it.

Valentin: I am just suggesting it would benefit everyone if you and Nina were to set aside your differences.

Carly: “Differences.” Is that what we’re calling it?

Valentin: I’m not defending the choices that Nina’s made. I am simply appealing to your compassionate side.

Carly: What makes you think that I would have one ounce of compassion for Nina?

Valentin: Because you have everything Nina’s ever wanted.

Carly: Really? Last I checked, she has my husband.


Ava: I have nothing against you playing hardball where your grandson is concerned. But you’re gonna go after Willow? Now? Didn’t her mom just die?

Nina: Yeah, um, I don’t mean to sound callous. I really don’t. What I meant by that was I’m just ready to fight. I don’t have a choice. Willow and Michael, they shot at me first.

Ava: Oh, so, was that first shot the feature in the invader or the charges in Pennsylvania?

Nina: [ Stammers ] How do you know about the feature?

Ava: Well, that reporter — the Smoltz? Smeltz? Wha– he reached out to me for comment.

Nina: Why would he reach out to you about my petition for visitation with Wiley?

Ava: Oh, no, Nina. No, it wasn’t about Wiley. It was about Avery… and how she was born.


Cameron: I mean, Esme’s good at covering her tracks? Couldn’t see that one coming. Duh.

Spencer: Nice. How’d you get into college with such a rudimentary vocabulary?

Cameron: How do you function with such lackluster critical-thinking skills? Maybe I was wrong to trust you that you can handle Esme. You’ve been in over your head this entire time.

Spencer: Not always. Just recently. I’ve been trying to get her to trust me so that she’ll confess, but I don’t think that I’m giving her everything that she wants.

Cameron: What more could she want?

Spencer: Intimacy.

Cameron: Wait. So you’re saying “Mr. I’m gonna give you sex advice that I don’t want” —

Spencer: Yes, bro. That’s what I’m saying. My girlfriend wants to have sex with me, and I’m running out of ways to avoid it.


Esme: “Spencer seems to be good for you. Don’t let him go. I’m also relieved to hear that you aren’t pursuing a relationship with your biological father.”

[ Boxes thumping ]

Esme: “You are smart and industrious. Use those gifts for good, Esme. Continue to focus on school and Spencer. Most of all, be happy. Love, Maggie.” Don’t worry, Maggie. I intend to be happy.


Josslyn: Trina, enjoying the view of Officer Invisible?

Trina: Officer Cabrera.

Josslyn: Right. I wonder what he’s doing here.

Trina: Um… probably just taking a yoga class. I-I mean, he was obviously here before us.

Josslyn: Hmm. Okay, well, you know, I just want to make sure that you’re comfortable, you know, being around him and everything. The police, they’re still investigating and they’re trying to prove that you did something you didn’t do.

Trina: [ Scoffs ] No. Officer Cabrera’s not like that.

Josslyn: Yeah, I guess. I mean, he seemed okay that day at the courthouse. Not so much when arresting Cameron.

Trina: And Spencer.

Josslyn: Oh, he can arrest Spencer any day of the week and twice on Sundays. I just want to make sure that he’s not harassing you.

Trina: No, he isn’t. I mean, I nearly pepper-sprayed him at the gallery, but he was cool about it.

Josslyn: What?

Trina: I mean, he told me the reason why he arrested Cam is because Commissioner Ashford wants everything by the book. And because he’s a rookie. I guess he…overcompensated.

Josslyn: I guess. And Cam did completely lose his head with Spencer.

Trina: Don’t act like you didn’t love when your man came to your defense.

Josslyn: Okay. It was hot.

[ Both chuckle ]

Trina: TMI.

Josslyn: But it looks like I’m not the only one who recognizes hotness. Looks like Officer Cabrera is not so invisible anymore.


Curtis: I have no plans to go after Marshall. The man wants to be gone. That’s his prerogative.

TJ: You can’t mean that.

Curtis: I can. And I do. Why would I go against his wishes?

TJ: Well, you didn’t have any problems going against his wishes before.

Curtis: Okay. Sound like you have something you want to say.

TJ: You know I respect you, Uncle Curtis, and I realize that he’s your father, not mine.

Curtis: TJ, okay. If you’re gonna go in on me about the methods I used, Portia already did and so did your mom.

TJ: No, it’s not only your methods. It’s the fact that since — since — since Marshall let it be known who he was, you have called all the shots. You even asked me to steer clear, and at first, I complied.

Curtis: Just trying to protect my family.

TJ: You have always been the head of this family, and I respect that. But now that you know the truth, was it worth losing the one chance you had with your father?


Terry: Your trip sounded like a success.

Chet: Yeah, it was. We were able to do a lot of good for the vets.

Terry: Was it hard going back?

Chet: At first. Working with the wounded veterans always brings me right into that place — in pain, uncertain of the future. But one of the guys came up to me and told me that seeing me thrive after my injuries, it showed him what was possible. So because of guys like him, I keep going back.

Terry: That’s incredible. How affirming.

Chet: Yeah. For them and for me. I’m not gonna lie. They’ll have to clear some hurdles, have to believe in themselves, not give up, and do the work. But they can clear those hurdles.

Terry: Like you have.

Chet: Yeah, well, it’s still not that easy. In fact… can I make a confession?


Cameron: So, you’re saying that you and Esme have not had sex since Spring Ridge?

Spencer: I’ve been trying to string her along, but I don’t want to have sex with her, especially not after she framed and betrayed my best friends.

Cameron: Dude.

Spencer: But I can’t get her to open up. I don’t know. It must be the lack of sex, right?

Cameron: You think?! I mean, the way you guys were all over each other before? Did you at least search her stuff?

Spencer: I’ve been trying to, but she’s always around. At first, it was because she was hiding from Uncle Sonny, but now she basically times leaving the house with whenever I’m going to work or the gallery. I mean, I can’t shake her. If I’m — if I’m sneezing, Esme’s there to say, “gesundheit.”

Cameron: Well, then, we’re out of options. If you can’t search her belongings and she won’t confess, that only leaves one choice.

Spencer: Don’t say it, dude.

Cameron: You have to tell Joss and Trina the truth.


Rory: How’s it going? You guys here for the next class? I was in the previous one, but I wanted to stretch out a little more.

Josslyn: We came early. We were hoping that you would come say hi.

Rory: Is it safe or are you armed again?

Josslyn: Just with good looks, intelligence, and charm. Trina is the full package.

Trina: I-I didn’t know you were into yoga. Or are you here on an assignment?

Rory: Uh, off duty, ma’am. It’s my day off. In fact, I spent the afternoon at The Chuck.

Trina: Oh. Having lunch on the front steps or…?

Rory: Uh, no, I actually went inside this time.

Trina: Hm! I rented one of those audio guides, but it wasn’t as good as the Jerome Gallery. I couldn’t ask questions.

Josslyn: Oh, well, next time, ask Trina. She is an expert.

Trina: Hardly an expert. I mean, Officer Cabrera couldn’t even really seek out my opinion on art, not while I’m facing a trial.

Josslyn: Why not? He’s not your arresting officer. Okay. Um, I’m gonna just — I’m gonna put our bags away.

Trina: I’m — I’m sorry about that.

Rory: Oh. Don’t be. Your friend’s right.


Valentin: Even if we were to put Sonny in Nina’s column of assets, look at everything she doesn’t have. She doesn’t have children. She has no relationship with her grandchild. She has a few friends, but nothing like the roots in the community that you have. Even her office space is at your mercy.

Carly: I’m happy to let Nina out of her lease at Crimson. I’m sure she can afford the penalty. She has no problem coming up with the money to buy herself out of all of her legal difficulties. And she has defenders like you who trip over themselves running to her rescue every time she chips a fingernail. Nina’s no victim!

Valentin: Carly, Nina has been exploited by almost everyone who has ever claimed to care for her. And before you say anything, yes, I’m including myself on that list. The least I can do is come to her defense.

Carly: Who hasn’t been exploited?

Valentin: I get that. And I’m not minimizing what has happened to you. But you’re strong. And you have a huge heart. Can you really tell me there’s no part of you that… feels for Nina?


Nina: Don’t know why that reporter would dredge all that up again. T-this is Michael, Willow, and Carly’s doing. Do you see now what I am dealing with?

Ava: In all fairness, Nina… it is public record. Everything you did. The forced labor… kidnapping Avery, taking her to Canada.

Nina: Please. I was a different person.

Ava: Yeah, that’s right. You were. I’m just warning you that Diane Miller is definitely gonna bring it up in court and that the judge will likely find it kind of pertinent.

Nina: Yeah, I was just — I w-wasn’t in my right mind. Um… I’ve worked a lot on myself, you know? So what did you tell the reporter?

Ava: Nothing. I didn’t tell him anything. I’m not gonna talk. The only time I’m gonna talk is in court if I’m called to testify on your behalf.

Nina: Thank you. Yeah, because Wiley lost a grandmother last night. He can’t lose another one.

Ava: What about Wiley’s grandfather? Is Sonny still hands-off?

Nina: Yeah, I made it very clear to Scott that he is not to question Sonny on the stand.

Ava: Well, that’s not really what I meant. The last time we talked, you said that you were trying to resist temptation when it comes to Sonny. So how’s that going?


Carly: Nina’s been hurt badly? So what? Many of us have endured trauma. Carrying on isn’t a miracle. It’s called life.

Valentin: And you are fortunate. You have multiple safety nets. You have your mother, your brother, your children, your friends. Nina really only has three people that she can count on. She’s got Phyllis. She’s got Wiley —

Carly: Sonny.

Valentin: That is a relationship that is very important to her.

Carly: Right. Who Sonny chooses to love is his business. It’s not Wiley’s job to be Nina’s emotional support.

Valentin: Phyllis is highly protective of Nina. Do you really think that she would give her that loyalty if Nina didn’t deserve it?

Carly: Phyllis nursed Nina when she was in a coma and pregnant, right? Was Phyllis there when Nina gave birth?

Valentin: Why on earth would you need to know that?


Nina: There’s nothing going on with me and Sonny.

Ava: Nothing? Nothing at all?

Nina: We danced.

Ava: Is that a euphemism?

Nina: Would you st– why is your mind always in the gutter?

Ava: I know. I can’t help it. I’m just being coy. And tell me, are you and Sonny an item or what?

Nina: Mnh! Hey, Amy. How you doing?

Amy: Oh, hi. I’m terrible, thanks. And you?

Nina: Oh. I’m sorry to hear about that.

Amy: All I wanted was a day off. Is that a crime?

Ava: I’m not sure we’re the ones to arbitrate what constitutes a crime.

Nina: Well, I hope the rest of your day goes better, and you just let me know if there’s anything I can do, okay?

Amy: I’m so glad you asked.


Chet: On valentine’s day, I knew you hadn’t clocked my prosthetic legs, and I should have told you that evening, but I chose not to because we were having such a nice time. Instead, I chose to tell you through text, which was nerve-racking and a bit dishonest.

Terry: I didn’t feel it was dishonest. Why didn’t you tell me that night? Did you think I’d be turned off?

Chet: It’s happened before.

Terry: I’m sorry some people are like that. I wasn’t turned off. If anything, I was in awe of your bravery. And I understand why you’d want to hold back disclosing deeply personal matters at first. After all, we barely knew each other’s names. We didn’t know we’d keep in touch like we have or form any kind of… relationship.

Chet: Were you nervous when you told me?

Terry: Terrified. That’s how I knew I really liked you. I’ve worked hard to be proud of who I am and the many challenges I’ve navigated to live my truth, truly be who I’m meant to be. But I have to admit, I would have been devastated if you decided dating a trans woman was a deal breaker.

Chet: Missing out on you would have been my loss.

Terry: And mine, if I had rejected you because you don’t have the legs you were born with.

Chet: Well, I know our situations aren’t the same. I don’t have to worry about violence against me or actual laws being passed to curtail my rights. But I do worry about not being seen.

Terry: It’s everything, right? All people want is to be seen for their individual inherent beauty and dignity.

Chet: And be accepted.

Terry: And loved. If it’s in the cards.


Rory: If you would have been with me at the chuck, I might have understood what I was looking at.

Trina: Well, first of all, I told you, art is subjective. And, secondly, that’s what docents are for.

Rory: And, third of all, I have no idea what a docent is.

Trina: [ Chuckles ]

Rory: Um, but you were partially right before. As an officer, I’m not allowed to socialize with anyone who’s the subject of an active investigation.

Trina: Well, then maybe you shouldn’t be talking to me in public.

Rory: Well, there’s no rule against me bumping into you, which is what happened. Besides, when you beat those charges…

Trina: If I beat them.

Rory: You will.


Cameron: Sometimes it takes a village to bring down a lying snake. Trina and Joss can help us.

Spencer: No offense, but your girlfriend’s a hothead. She can’t stand Esme.

Cameron: Neither can anyone else.

Spencer: Okay, but my point is that if Esme pushes the right buttons, Joss is gonna come out swinging and blow everything up. Look, I know I can do this. I just need more time.

Cameron: We don’t have time. Okay? With each passing day, Trina’s trial date comes closer, and without another suspect, the worse it’ll look for her.

Spencer: Hey, no one wants to help Trina more than me.

Cameron: There’s got to be a loose end out there. Somewhere there’s physical evidence linking Esme to the crime and incriminates her. You just have to find it.

Spencer: When? Esme and I are always together.

Cameron: I don’t see her now.

Spencer: She went to a yoga class. Trust that in about an hour she’s gonna walk through that door just in time for me to finish my shift.

Cameron: Well, then go. I will stall Esme.


Curtis: It’s true — Marshall suddenly appearing into my life, it, um, raised a lot of feelings.

TJ: And I can understand that. But going against his wishes and investigating his past, that didn’t only affect you.

Curtis: T, I had to investigate. I had to know if he was bringing danger to you, to Aunt Stella, to Portia, to all the people I love.

TJ: So you actively investigate until you find something?

Curtis: I had to know.

TJ: Okay. And now that you do know… what did it cost you? Was it worth it? Because it wasn’t worth it to me. I was just getting to know my grandfather, and he left town without saying a word to me.

Curtis: Well, goodbyes aren’t his strong suit.

TJ: Marshall had his faults, but he was making an effort. He was making an effort with you. He was making an effort with me… Epiphany, Stella, even Portia and Trina.

Curtis: I know.

TJ: So I, for one, I’m gonna miss him.

Curtis: I know.

TJ: And I know you didn’t talk to me about it, but did you consult with Stella before investigating his past?

Curtis: Aunt Stella found out that I was digging into Marshall’s past, and she asked me to leave it alone.

TJ: Uncle, I wish you would have listened to stella because now we have all lost our contact with him.

Curtis: But, T, you don’t get it. This was Marshall’s choice.

TJ: No, no. You made a unilateral decision to protect us without our buy-in. That is your choice, and now we just — we just have to live with it.


Terry: Tell me about your job at the gym.

Chet: Well, it’s not saving lives like you are, but it’s pretty cool watching people come in and work on themselves, getting stronger, surpassing expectations.

Terry: Must be so gratifying helping people achieve their personal goal.

Chet: It is.

Terry: [ Chuckles ]

Chet: It’s also a constant reminder for me to keep setting my own.

Terry: What’s your biggest goal?

Chet: Right now, it’s impressing you. How am I doing?


Amy: Who is dr. Randolph to dictate whether I can get a manicure or not?

Ava: It does seem like a bit of an overreach.

Amy: Or how to store patient files?

Nina: Well, that part seems to be in her purview.

Amy: I’m sick of it. She’s singling me out. I deserve respect, too.

Nina: Yes! Well, how would Man Landers advise?

Amy: [ Laughing ] Oh, my god. I haven’t given professional advice in years.

Nina: No, but, Amy, you still have the insight, wisdom, and wit. Come on. What would Man Landers advise two women who were having friction at work?

Amy: I’d start by telling the innocent woman to get a drink. The stronger, the better. [ Chuckles ]

Ava: Nice try. But at least the woman she’s at odds with is at work. I wonder what Man Landers would advise when the conflict is at home.

Nina: Uh-oh. I have a feeling you’re speaking about yourself. What other woman do you have friction with?

Ava: Oh, she’s not a woman. No, no, no. This is a treacherous teenaged she-devil.


Rory: My saying that you’ll beat those charges doesn’t undermine my objectivity as an officer of the law.

Trina: Of course not, Officer Cabrera.

Rory: I thought I told you you could call me Rory.

Trina: I thought that was only if I called you.

Rory: [ Chuckles ] I gotta run.

Josslyn: Leaving so soon?

Rory: Yeah. I’ll see you around.

Josslyn: Hm.

Trina: Oh, my God. Could you be more obvious?

Josslyn: I was just speeding things along. It’s pretty clear that you guys are into each other.

Trina: The guy’s a cop, Joss. He’s friendly. But that’s as far as it goes.

Josslyn: Maybe I can ask Dante if he’s single.

Trina: Don’t you dare.

Josslyn: Why not? Trina, there are worse people to crush on.

Trina: Like Spencer? Are you trying to hook me up with Rory to keep me away from Spencer?

Josslyn: “Rory,” huh? Look, I just want you to be with somebody who’s worthy of you, one who isn’t needy and selfish and entitled, one who is unattached and can reciprocate your feelings.

Trina: You don’t have to worry. I kicked Spencer and Esme out of the gallery just the other night.

Josslyn: What? Why were they even there?

Trina: Spencer was there to work on his restitution. And, of course, Esme followed him like a creepy, jealous parasite.


Valentin: Why are you asking about the day Nina gave birth?

Carly: Because it occurs to me that Phyllis may have a soft spot for Nina because she feels guilty about the role she played in giving Nina’s baby away.

Valentin: And you think guilt is the only thing that motivates loyalty?

Carly: It’s the way Nina motivated Harmony to talk to Michael and Willow about visitation with Wiley.

Valentin: And why did Harmony feel guilty where Nina was concerned?

Carly: Harmony felt guilty about many things. It makes sense that she would try to redeem herself any way she could.

Valentin: And why does Sonny feel guilty?

Carly: You got me there. Sonny spent months lying to me, so I have no idea why he’s so fascinated with Nina. Maybe it’s Stockholm Syndrome.


Esme: Hi! Cameron! Is, uh, Spence around?

Cameron: Uh, no. Actually, he, um… our supplier forgot to get enough milk this morning, so I sent him on a grocery run.

Esme: Do you think it’ll be long? There’s something I can’t wait to tell him.

Cameron: I mean, it’ll take as long as it takes, but would you like to order something in the meantime while you wait?

Esme: No. Thanks. Um, just tell him I came by and I’ll see him at home, okay?

Cameron: Oh! You know… hold up just a minute.


[ Camera shutter clicks ]

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

Spencer: [ Exhales sharply ] Of course, it won’t be that easy.


Josslyn: Well, maybe officer handsome can help us.

Trina: I think you know he can’t.

Josslyn: Why? Because he’s all about truth and justice? Right? Well, Esme is all about lying and criminal behavior. And he has resources.

Trina: Okay, I’m going to stop you right there. It’s not fair to put Rory in that position.

Rory: Good night, ladies.

Trina: I’m not going to ask him to help. Esme has ruined enough lives as it is.

Joss: Okay, well, I don’t really feel like doing yoga anymore. So do you want to go get a milkshake?

Trina: Yeah. Sure. Let’s get out of here.

Josslyn: I need something to take my mind off of everything that’s happened. I mean, Trina, you’ve been arrested, Cam and I are on shaky ground, and this sex tape is gonna follow us around forever. I mean, what if future employers do an internet search on me and that pops up?

Trina: Wha– I thought that hacker guy took it off.

Josslyn: Yeah, but you never know.

Trina: I know what we’re up against. I just don’t know what to do about it except… learn to live with it.

Josslyn: No. That is the last thing that we should do. Esme set us both up. She violated my privacy and she stole a very intimate moment of mine and framed you for it. Esme brought this fight to us, and now we’re gonna take it to her.

Trina: How?

Josslyn: She made a mistake. I don’t know what or when, but there has to be evidence out there that proves that she’s guilty, and we’re gonna find it. And when we do, Esme prince is going to prison where she belongs.


Cameron: Look, I think that we need to clear the air.

Esme: [ Sighs ] I don’t want to do this. I know that you and Joss believe I’m a terrible person.

Cameron: And I know I said things… but you need to understand. Trina is Josslyn’s best friend, and Joss is my girlfriend.

Esme: I get it. You’ll always have Joss’ back, even when she’s wrong. And I just wish I had a boyfriend who was as loyal as you are.

Cameron: W-what are you talking about? You’re all Spencer thinks about.

Esme: Then why did he waffle on my innocence even after Trina made those crazy accusations that aren’t even true?

Cameron: This whole situation is complicated, a-and Spencer’s been all over the place. I mean, he even went as far to accuse me, Trina, and Joss being in on it all together. That’s why we got into that fight.

Esme: Really? Spence accused all of you? I-I mean, it’s absolute rubbish. I know that you and Joss would never.

Cameron: Look, the point is that Spencer’s got your back. Don’t turn away from him now. Don’t sweat it. Alright? This will all work out for the best.

Esme: You really believe that.

Cameron: I’m counting on it. For both my sake and Joss’.

Esme: Thanks. I just — I feel so alone. I mean, Spence’s father’s done his best to be a good host, but… I miss having friends. Like you, Cam. I always felt you kept an open mind about me. I’m sorry we got off track.

Cameron: It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks about you. I will always treat you in the way that you deserve, Esme.


Terry: Well, you’re no Tanner.

Chet: Oh, yeah.

Terry: [ Laughs ]

Chet: That mystic phony bragging about “vibrating at a higher frequency” when he was really…

Terry: Just a broke, misogynistic blowhard.

Chet: Well, at least he set the bar low. It shouldn’t be too hard to surpass him.

Terry: I’ll give you my review on our second date. That is, if you’re gonna…

Chet: My answer is an unequivocal yes to a second date.

Terry: Thanks for the save. This has been so much fun, it almost made me forget my morning.

Chet: Hard day at work?

Terry: I’ve had worse. Just a dustup with a colleague. I do not want to get into personal pettiness at G.H.

Chet: I thought you worked at Mercy?

Terry: I’ve been consulting at Mercy, but I’m on staff at G.H.

Chet: Oh, really? My sister works at G.H.

Terry: Small world!

Chet: Yeah, maybe you know her.


Nina: Don’t tell me Esme is acting inappropriately.

Ava: When is she ever appropriate? She’s ingratiating herself with Nikolas. Nikolas is so desperate to seem like a hero in Spencer’s eyes that he’s — he’s blind to her manipulations. And I tell you what. It’s taking a toll.

Nina: Ohh. And — and Nikolas doesn’t recognize how unhappy you are?

Ava: He does. He knows now, now that I’ve canceled our vow-renewal ceremony.

Nina: Oh. I’m sorry, Ava.

Ava: Ehh. Just never have a stepson. Although, you know, if — if you were to ever marry Sonny, you’d have two stepsons and you’d have three stepdaughters. And I would love that. Can you just picture Carly having to pick up donna from you?

Nina: I think we’re getting a little ahead of ourselves.

Ava: Maybe you should. I mean, it’s possible, right? And you’re going pretty hard on Michael and Willow. Someday they could be family, too.

Nina: I don’t care. I’m coming at Michael and Willow with everything I got.


Curtis: So, I thought Marshall was, uh — I thought he was on the run from a dangerous criminal element.

TJ: So then he wasn’t?

Curtis: No. He never ran afoul of the mob. And he was never in witness protection.

TJ: Alright. So t-then what happened?

Curtis: He was arrested in a protest that got out of control. And instead of being sentenced to prison, the judge remanded him to a mental facility.

TJ: How long was he there? What’s his diagnosis?

Curtis: The records I had access to didn’t say. And, you know, Marshall wasn’t about to tell me.

TJ: There is a lot of stigma attached to mental illness, and for a man Marshall’s age, it’s even worse. Uncle, it’s no surprise he took off. He feels you violated his privacy.

Curtis: Hey. I’m not gonna apologize for trying to protect us.

TJ: And I am not asking you to apologize. I respect your choice. I just hope that you will respect mine.

Curtis: Which is?

TJ: I’m not ready to give up on Marshall. I intend to find him and bring him back.


Chet: I know G.H. Has tons of people, but you might know her.

Terry: A name would help. And while we’re at it, I suppose we should get around to our last names. I’m dr. Terry Randolph.

Chet: Yeah, we covered a lot of ground but skipped the basics. Dr. Randolph, I’m Chet Driscoll.

Terry: Driscoll. And your sister is…

Chet: Same last name. Amy Driscoll. Do you know her?


Julie: Amy.

Amy: Hi, Julie. Small world.

Julie: I just saw your brother in the metro court gardens.

Amy: That doesn’t sound like Chet. What was he doing there?

Julie: Meeting our boss for drinks.

Amy: Our boss?

Julie: Dr. Randolph. They seemed to be having a great time.

Amy: [ Softly ] No.


[ Camera shutter clicks ]

Spencer: This season. Last season. This season. Three seasons ago. Very unlike you, Esme. What do we have here?


Esme: It means so much that you wouldn’t turn your back on me. Thank you for being so kind. I’m just so glad you’re your own man.

Josslyn: No. He’s my man. And you have about five seconds to get your tentacles off of him.


Ava: If you go after Carly’s son, she will rip your throat out.

Nina: Well, he’s still walking around, isn’t he? He’s still alive. She let my daughter fall to her death. She could have saved her. She’s not gonna take away my grandson, too. I didn’t want this fight, Ava. But now that I’m in it, I’m gonna come out guns blazing. And Carly better hope to God that she’s not in the line of fire.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Josslyn (to Cameron): Why would you hurt Trina that way?

Ava (to Trina): Gode her into making a mistake.

Spencer: What else are you hiding?

Willow: Do you think any of that story is true?

Michael: It’s not that simple.

Carly (to Nina): If you’re wondering if I talk to Sonny. The answer’s yes.

Drew (to Ned): How can I help?

Ned (to Drew): Call it off.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Eli: Frank didn’t shoot me. Lani, it was tr.

Lani: What? No. No. Tr? That–that can’t be right, eli.

Eli: No, lani, your biological father is the one that tried to kill me.

Abe: Paulina home?

Tr: [Chuckles] This really isn’t a good time, abe.

Abe: I need to see her.

Tr: I’m sorry, but she’s kind of busy.

Abe: She won’t be too busy to hear what I have to say.

Tr: You really think you own the world, don’t you, mr. Mayor?

Abe: Excuse me?

Tr: You have been running that woman hot and cold for the last few months. First, you don’t want to have anything to do with her. And now, you show up and expect her to drop everything to see you. Just what is so important you need to tell paulina right this very moment?

Abe: Well, not that it’s any of your damn business, but I’m here to tell the woman I love I want her back.

Rafe: Okay, johnny, thanks for the heads-up. We’ll take it from here. All right. Hey.

Shawn: Half the department’s out there searching. They still don’t have a clue where allie took my sister.

Rafe: Actually, I think I know where they are.

Ciara: [Sobbing]

Ben: Ciara… you had the baby here?

Ciara: Mm.

Ben: Oh, my god.

Ciara: Allie, she– she delivered him. Only, she’s not allie. And then she took the baby and she left, ben.

Ben: Where?

Ciara: I don’t know.

Ben: Where did they go?

Ciara: I don’t know. I don’t know where, but we need to find him. Ben, we have to save our bo.

[Dramatic music]

Demon allie: Oh, andre. I expected so much more from you. Humans. They always let you down.

[Baby crying] Aw, bo. Hey, don’t cry, baby bo. Oh, I could never hurt you. You’re much too important to me. Hey, there, there. Don’t you worry. I’m gonna take very good care of you. What do you think? Doesn’t the dimera crypt make the perfect nursery? Temporarily, anyways. You can just think of all of these dead dimeras as your babysitters. You and I– we are going to do great things together.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Tr: You really have some nerve, don’t you?

Abe: How do you figure?

Tr: All of a sudden, you in love with paulina. You want her back.

Abe: You’re damn right, I do. Now, you gonna let me in?

Tr: What part of “paulina doesn’t have time for your games” do you not get?

Abe: Paulina can decide for herself if she wants to see me.

Tr: She already has decided.

Abe: Excuse me?

Tr: We are giving it another go.

Abe: What?

Tr: You heard me. We are back together. Matter of fact, I’m fittin’ to take my woman out of town for a romantic getaway.

Abe: Your woman?

Tr: You snooze, you lose, player.

Abe: There’s no way that paulina would go away with the likes of you, especially with her son-in-law in a coma.

Tr: Eli’s awake? Eli is my son-in-law, as in mine and paulina’S.

Abe: You really want to get into this?

Tr: This? You mean me being lani’s real father?

Abe: I’m lani’s father in every way that matters.

Tr: Well, not every way. I was cut out of her life for a lot of years. But I plan on getting my family back together, starting this weekend.

Abe: This proves how little you know about family, that you would take paulina away at a time like this.

Tr: You know what, brother? You starting to wear on my nerves.

Abe: I’m sorry to hear that. But I’m not leaving, brother.

Tr: Yeah? Well, we are. A weekend away from salem, away from all the stress– not to mention your judgment– is just what paulina needs. Besides, it’s not like eli’s waking up anytime soon.

Lani: [Sighs] Baby, I–I think you– you may be confused.

Eli: I’m not confused. Lani, I remember everything about that night.

Lani: Okay, well, what do you remember?

Eli: I was interviewing tr’s ex, beth, at the station. An–and I went to, um– I went to the park. Ray was there, and he reached for my gun. Lani, he shot me. That son of a bitch shot me in cold blood.

Lani: But why? Why–why would he do that? He wants to be a part of my life, a part of our kids’ lives. Why would he risk all of that, eli, by shooting my husband?

Eli: Because I found out the truth about him.

Lani: What truth?

Shawn: Susan banks believes that ciara gave birth at the horton cabin?

Rafe: Yeah, and susan’s been right more times than not about this devil stuff.

Shawn: That’s true. So that’s where we need to go. We need to go to the horton cabin.

Rafe: Okay, hold on. Now, if we are going to smith island, we are not going alone. ‘Cause if the devil is there, we’re gonna need backup.

Shawn: You make the call. I’m driving.

Ben: Tell me what happened. What did allie do?

Ciara: I told you, it wasn’t allie, ben. She’s possessed.

Ben: I know that. She drugged me and locked me up, and she tried to kill me.

Ciara: Oh, my god. She wanted me to believe that you were dead so that I would be here, alone, grieving and isolated, and so that she would be the only one here when the baby was born.

Ben: I’m sorry. I’m sorry I wasn’t here with you.

Ciara: The devil fooled me, babe. I mean, he even tried to convince me that rafe wanted us to go to the cabin. And I knew it. I knew something was wrong. I knew something was off, I–

Ben: Don’t blame yourself. How could you have known that?

Ciara: I did know! Ben, that’s the thing. I knew it in my heart. I knew it.

Ben: Look, allie was very supportive of us the entire pregnancy. She was good to you. She was helping you. She tried to take care of you.

Ciara: Only she wasn’t helping us. Ben, the devil was getting ready to take our baby. And now he has him.

Ben: Why? What does that demon want with our son?

Evan: Oh, hey. It’s you. You said I could lie low here. I hope that’s still cool.

Demon allie: Totally. Evan, I want you to meet my little friend.

I’ve got moderate to severe

plaque psoriasis.

Ciara: I never should have believed her. Ben, I saw you lying there. But in my heart, I didn’t believe that it was real. I didn’t– I didn’t feel like you were actually gone. And then I went into labor, and then–

Ben: I can’t believe– I can’t believe that you just gave birth to our baby boy… with that beast inside allie with you.

Ciara: I didn’t know who she really was, not until after bo was born.

Ben: And then she showed you.

Ciara: Oh, my god. Oh, my god, ben, it was horrible. She was standing there with bo in her arms, and I asked her to give him to me, and she wouldn’T. She wouldn’t give me my son, and then she turned at me with those eyes. I saw her eyes, ben. I saw her eyes, and I knew exactly who I was looking at.

Ben: You never got to hold our son?

Ciara: Mm-mm. The devil took that away from me. Ben, what if I never get to hold our son?

Evan: What the–

Demon allie: Ah, ah, ah. Don’t throw that word around willy-nilly.

Evan: What is going on? Who is that baby?

Demon allie: Why do you look so alarmed? Never see a proud parent before?

Evan: Not one with glowing eyes and a creepy-as-hell voice.

Demon allie: There you go again, just talking about you-know-where.

Evan: What is this? Who are you?

Demon allie: I think, if you search your soul, you’ll find you already know the answer to that. I tried to tell you at the prison, but you were just so focused on getting out. People call me all kinds of names, but you probably know me as the devil incarnate.

[Dramatic music]

Lani: What could you have possibly found out that would make tr want to kill you?

Eli: I caught him in the park with drugs. He had drugs on him, lani–heroin.

Lani: No. No, that can’t be. He–he told me that he was clean. He promised me and paulina that he hasn’t been using since he went to prison years ago.

Eli: I know that’s what he told you. It’s all an act. Lani, he’s still using. And he’s still abusing women.

Lani: Beth said that he has never laid a hand on her and that he’s been the perfect gentleman. She told me herself.

Eli: She told me a different story at the station.

Lani: Well, what exactly did she say?

Eli: She said that tr– that he was using the entire relationship and he was abusing her. Lani, I’m sorry. But that’s why I went to the park looking for him.

Lani: Beth came to see me at the hospital. She said she had something to say, but then tr came in, and she left.

Eli: Probably because tr got to her first. I’m sure she wanted to tell you the truth.

Lani: I should have known. Oh, my–I should have known that she was lying. I should have recognized that he had threatened her, and–and–

[Sighs] I wanted so badly to believe that– that he was a good man, that he had pulled his life together.

Eli: Baby, I’m sorry. But your father is the same woman-beating addict that brutalized paulina all those years ago.

Tr: I’ll say it again. Good night, abe.

Abe: I am not leaving until I see paulina.

Tr: You’re gonna make me slam this door in your face.

[Cell phone rings]

[Tense music]

Abe: Hello? Ah, tripp. Any news on eli? What? Oh, well, that’s incredible. Yes, yes, I’ll share the news with paulina. I’m at her place right now. All right, I’ll be down there soon.

Tr: Good news?

Abe: Yes. Eli’s awake… and talking.

Tr: Praise god.

Excuse me.

Tr: Ah, ah, ah. What are you doing?

Abe: I’m going to share the news with paulina, of course.

Tr: Oh, that’s all right. I’ll do that.

Abe: While you’re on your way out of town with her? Like hell. Now move! Ah! [Groans]

Tr: I told your ass she was busy.

[Dramatic music]

My asthma felt anything but normal.

Lani: I cannot believe I fell for tr’s reformed act. I let that man into my… I let that man into my life, into our children’s lives. Like, how did I not see through his lies?

Eli: He’s obviously good at fooling people. He convinced paulina, and she saw him at his worst.

Lani: He didn’t fool you.

Eli: I just followed a hunch.

Lani: And it almost cost you your life. That bastard shot you with your own gun and left you to die in a park.

Eli: I survived, baby. I’m still here.

Lani: Yeah, no thanks to him.

[Chuckles] My so-called father would’ve left me a widow, would’ve taken away his grandchildren’s father, just to hide his dirty little secrets.

Eli: We’ll deal with him.

Lani: Yeah. You are damn right, I am going to deal with him.

Eli: Lani, no. I do not want you confronting that man alone. He’s dangerous when he’s cornered.

Lani: He needs to be cornered in a prison cell.

Eli: Yeah, and he will be. Call this in to rafe. Let the rest of the department deal with it. Do you know where tr is?

[Dramatic music]

Lani: Oh… oh, my god. Oh, my god, my eli. He’s back, my… oh, my god, my eli is back. Oh, my god.

[Elevator bell dings] P-p-paulina?

Oh, no.

Eli: What is it?

Lani: [Sighs] He’s with my mother.

Tr: You couldn’t leave well enough alone, could you, mr. Mayor? Look what you made me do. Just like that meddling eli.

Paulina: I’ll be right out! Oh. It’s just you?

Tr: Who else would it be?

Paulina: Well, I… I thought I heard voices.

Tr: Oh, uh, that was a religious group. They were handing out pamphlets, “praise god.”

[Laughs] I guess… they were trying to save our immortal souls.

Evan: You’re… the devil?

Demon allie: In the flesh. Do you like this body?

Evan: The devil. Satan? Lucifer? Beelzebub?

Demon allie: Never was a fan of that last one.

Evan: I can’t believe this.

Demon allie: I mean, surely you knew I was back in town for my silver anniversary. I know you were in prison, but I’m kind of a big deal around these parts.

Evan: My father did tell me about marlena evans being possessed, but all the news reports said that there was an exorcism. They called it the christmas miracle.

Demon allie: Well, you really shouldn’t believe everything you read online. The internet is a hellhole of misinformation.

Evan: So… at the exorcism, you jumped out of dr. Evans’ body and into this random girl’s body?

Demon allie: This “random girl” happens to be marlena’s pastry-baking, bisexual granddaughter, allie horton.

Evan: You went into her granddaughter?

Demon allie: Not right away. After that nitwit father eric banished me from marlena, I actually went into her grandson, johnny. Then there was a brief pit stop in her nosy little daughter, belle, until I landed on my current host.

Evan: You trying to spend time with marlena’s whole family?

Demon allie: Let’s just say the sins of the matriarch have befallen her progeny.

Ciara: Allie… when allie was holding bo, I thought I saw her struggling. I thought for one second she might be able to push him out.

Ben: Well, that’s a good sign. That means allie–someone’s still in there. And she’s not gonna let the devil hurt bo.

Ciara: Ben, she’s not gonna be able to resist him. He’s way too strong.

Ben: Whoa, easy, easy. You just had a baby.

Ciara: Yeah, so?

Ben: So you are in no condition to go chasing after satan right now, okay?

Ciara: That doesn’t matter now, ben. I am a mother. I’m a mom, and it is my job to protect my child.

Ben: Your job right now is to rest. I will go find allie and bo as soon as we go get some help, okay?

Ciara: Oh, my god, there is no way. I’m never gonna let you face that alone, and I’m not going to rest, not until my son is in my arms again!

Ben: You need to rest. Ciara, sit down!

Ciara: Ben, I don’t care!

Ben: Please sit down.

Ciara: Oh, my god, rafe.

Rafe: Oh, my god, ciara… oh, kiddo. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry this is happening to you.

Evan: So this whole thing is about getting revenge on marlena for tossing you out 25 years ago?

Demon allie: [Laughs] You mortals and your simplistic understanding of motives.

Evan: It’s a fair question.

Demon allie: If I wanted revenge on marlena, I could have snapped my fingers and wiped out her entire family line.

Evan: So why possess her again? Why possess her granddaughter?

Demon allie: Well, if i showed you allie horton’s resume, you’d understand my choice. After everything she’s been through in her short life, tragic little allie horton is the perfect host. And she’s proved ideal in my procurement of this little bundle of despair.

Evan: That’s ben and ciara’s baby, isn’t it?

Demon allie: Look, you figured it out.

Evan: What do you plan to do with him?

Rafe: What were you thinking, wanting to leave here?

Ciara: I was thinking–I was thinking that I needed to go look for my baby, rafe.

Rafe: Yeah, but not in your condition. You need to get to the hospital.

Ciara: I need to find my baby, rafe. We should all be out here, looking for him.

Ben: Do you have any leads?

Rafe: Honestly, I thought that allie was gonna be here.

Ben: Well, maybe she’s still on the island.

Ciara: Great, well, then, that is why we should be searching.

Rafe: Ciara, ciara, it’s okay. I have got people searching everywhere. In fact, when they found out that bo and hope brady’s grandson was missing, everyone volunteered to join in the search.

Ciara: Thank you.

Rafe: Yeah.

Ciara: Thank you.

Rafe: You don’t have to thank me, all right? You don’T. Listen, you’re family. Right? This is personal.

Ben: I’m gonna get her to the hospital and get her checked out.

Ciara: Ben, please, just–

Ben: No, ciara. Rafe is right. You just had our baby here prematurely with no medical supervision. We need to get you checked out and make sure that you’re healthy. Bo is going to need his mother to be strong. Okay? Okay?

Ciara: Oh… rafe, promise me you’re not going to stop until you find him.

Rafe: Listen to me. You need to trust me when I say this. I will not stop. I will turn smith island, salem, hell, the entire world upside down until I bring your son back to you.

Lani: I have to warn paulina about tr before it’s too late.

Eli: Are you sure paulina’s with him?

Lani: Yes. I saw them getting into an elevator, and they looked really cozy.

Paulina: Why do I pay to live in a building with a doorman if they’re just gonna let any kind of weirdo up to my door? Oh, I’m gonna give them a piece of my mind. Where’s my phone?

Tr: Paulina, paulina, paulina.

Paulina: What?

Tr: We really have to get going on our trip. We can tell the doorman when we get downstairs.

Paulina: Oh, well, what’s the rush?

Tr: It’s no rush. I–I just can’t wait to get you all to myself.

Paulina: Uh-huh.

Tr: What’s wrong?

Paulina: Well, I just don’t– I still don’t feel right about leaving lani and eli at a time like this.

Tr: You aren’t leaving them. Like I said, you’ll only be a phone call away if anything happens. But paulina, you have to take care of yourself too. Let me take care of you.

Paulina: [Chuckles] Okay. Well, let’s get this romantic weekend started.

Tr: That’s what I’m talking about.

[Both laughing]

It’s started. Somewhere between a cuddle

Demon allie: “What are you going to do with the baby?” “What are you going to do with the baby?” Do you have any idea how tired i am of people asking me that?

Evan: I’m just asking.

Demon allie: And it is nobody’s business. Ever since I made sure ciara got pregnant, it is all I’ve heard. Not, you know, “is hell a dry heat, like arizona, or a humid one, like louisiana?” Or “how long did it take for cerberus to become housebroken?” Or “are you responsible for robocalls?”, Which yes, I am.

Evan: [Laughs] Figures.

Demon allie: But no, you humans have a one-track mind, always seeking to understand the unknowable, and it is really annoying.

Evan: Well, at the risk of turning into a pillar of salt…

Demon allie: That’s the other guy’s thing.

Evan: Right. Anyway, you and I are supposed to be partners, right?

Demon allie: Hardly equal partners, but okay.

Evan: Don’t you think i deserve to know what you have in store for ben and ciara’s brat?

Demon allie: It is your lucky day, evan frears. As a reward for helping me convince ciara that that lunk, jake dimera, was her dead husband, you’ll become the first mortal on earth to learn what i have in store for little bo weston.

[Line trilling]

Lani: Damn it. Voice mail again. Paulina, it’s me. Listen to me, okay? Ray is the one who shot eli. He is dangerous, and you need to get away from him right now. Okay, please call me back as soon as you get this, and do not let tr know that we are on to him.

[Sighs]

Eli: It’s gonna be okay.

Lani: No, I mean, I need to get to her before–she could be in real trouble, eli.

Eli: Lani, you need to call in backup.

Lani: Every available officer is out looking for ciara’s baby.

Eli: Well, there’s gotta be someone out there who can help.

Lani: I don’t need help. Tr needs to be arrested for what he did to you, and I want to be the one to do it. Okay?

Eli: No! Lani!

Lani: Love you.

Tr: I’ve been waiting a lot of years for this second chance.

Paulina: Okay, let’s do it.

[Both laughing]

Abe: [Groans]

Paulina: Did you hear that?

Tr: I didn’t hear anything.

Paulina: Well, I did, and i know my ears aren’t playing tricks on me.

Tr: Paulina, we gotta go, baby.

Paulina: It sounds like it came from over there.

Tr: There’s nothing over there.

Paulina: Oh, my god! Abraham!

Julie: Oh, lani! Oh, thank… tripp just gave me the wonderful news. Eli’s awake!

Lani: Yeah, he is. Um, where are the twins?

Julie: Oh, I got your regular babysitter. They were snoozing when I left.

Lani: Julie, I’m sorry. I need to go.

Julie: Well, everything’s all right, isn’t it?

Lani: No, it’s not. I need to find paulina.

Julie: Well, she’s with your father.

Lani: You saw paulina with tr?

Julie: Not tr, darling. Your real father, abraham.

Lani: What?

Julie: I was just with him, and he has come to the realization he still loves paulina, so I sent him to her to get her back.

Lani: Oh, no. Oh, my god.

Julie: Lani… lani, what’s going on?

[Dramatic music]

From prom dresses

[Gentle music]

Eli: Hey, grandma! What’s new?

Julie: Oh, honey! You’ve come back to us. That’s what’s new. You’ll never know how happy I am to see you awake, to hear you call me “grandma.”

Eli: I’m happy to see you too.

Julie: Don’t you ever give me a scare like that again, do you hear me?

Eli: I’ll do my best, grandma.

Julie: Well, I’m happy to report, I just came from the twins, and little jules and carver just cannot wait to see their daddy again.

Eli: Can’t wait to see them, too. Doug–doug. How is doug?

Julie: Oh, he’s so much better than he was a couple of months ago. Thank you for asking.

Eli: I’m glad to hear it.

Julie: Well, sweetie, I must tell you, I was expecting sort of a different mood when I got here. I ran into lani, and she seemed so disturbed about something, but she ran off before I had a chance to ask her what had happened.

Eli: She just received some really disturbing news. Grandma, I gotta tell you something. You’re not gonna like it.

Julie: You’re frightening me, sweetheart. Just tell me what it is.

Eli: I remember who shot me.

Julie: You do. Who was it?

Eli: It was lani’s father. It was tr coates.

Paulina: He’s bleeding! What the hell did you do to him?

Tr: Listen, listen, paulina. This is not what it looks like.

Paulina: Oh, the hell with you! I’m dialing 911.

Tr: No, you don’t have to do that.

Paulina: Oh, what–missed call from lani? Oh!

Tr: I’m sorry, paulina. I can’t let you make that call.

Nurse: You should start to feel a lot better once you get some fluids in you.

Ciara: I feel fine. What would make me feel better is if I could help with the search party.

Nurse: Get some rest, okay?

[Soft music]

Ciara: I hate sitting here, doing nothing.

Ben: You are not doing nothing. You just gave birth.

Ciara: Baby, you know what i mean.

Ben: Ciara, the best thing that you can do for our son right now is to take care of yourself, because when we bring bo home, he’s gonna need a healthy mom. Okay?

Ciara: Mm-hmm.

Ben: Mm-hmm.

Ciara: I know. And I will be. Ben, I only got to see him for a few minutes, and he was so beautiful, and he was so tiny and fragile.

Ben: I’m sure he’s pretty tiny, but I’m also sure that he’s gonna be very strong, just like his mom.

Ciara: [Whimpers] I don’t even have a picture of him. Oh, my god. I’m so scared. Ben, I am so scared.

[Quiet piano music]

Evan: Well, don’t keep me in suspense.

Demon allie: All right. Well, when you’ve been around forever, time becomes a little bit relative.

Evan: You said you’d tell me your plan.

Demon allie: It’ll feel good to tell someone. You know, sometimes it’s frustrating being this clever and this evil and having no one to share it with.

Evan: I’ve been told I’m a good listener.

Demon allie: Right. Well, as I was saying, after managing to temporarily possess marlena and various members of her family, to varying degrees of success, I decided that it was time for me to take residence in a more permanent dwelling.

Evan: So you’re gonna possess the baby.

Demon allie: Well, “possess” is not the exact word I would use for this process. You see, when you take over a human soul, you run the risk of their true nature constantly fighting you to get back to their loved ones.

Evan: So is this allie fighting you right now?

Demon allie: Like a tiger. And I must admit, she almost got through after little bo here was born. But with him, I won’t have that problem, because his soul is just as new and shiny as he is. There’s no time for him to form those pesky little bonds with his natural-born family that made marlena and the others fight me so hard. Think of bo here as my earthly do-over. He and I will get a whole lifetime together.

[Eerie music]

Your heart is at the heart of everything you do.

Evan: So how is this going to work? If you’re taking over the baby’s soul, are you planning to have ben and ciara, like, raise you?

Demon allie: No. I’m afraid ben and ciara’s part in this is over. And actually, that’s where you come in. It’s going to be a lot easier for the proper caretaker that I’m selecting if ben and ciara aren’t constantly trying to get their son back.

Evan: What do you want me to do about it?

Demon allie: It’s simple. I want you to kill ciara and ben weston.

Ciara: [Crying]

Ben: A few years ago, if something like this had happened, I would’ve said, “of course. It’s what I deserve.” But sitting here with you right now, ciara, I don’t feel that way. I don’t feel fear or despair. Yes, it’s a dark time, but… I feel hope.

Ciara: How?

Ben: Because we have to stay positive. And you are the one who taught me that. You taught me that just by loving me and believing in me, and I believe that we are going to see our son again. We have to, and I know it. I know it. Do you hear me?

Ciara: Yeah. I hear you. And I believe it, too. I have to. But, ben, there’s something that I need you to do for me.

Ben: Anything.

Ciara: I need you to go.

Ben: Ciara–

Ciara: Baby, there are plenty of doctors and nurses here who will take care of me. I don’t need you hanging around here. I need you going. I need you to go and join the search party.

Ben: Are you sure?

Ciara: Go bring our little baby bo home. Go find our son, ben.

Ben: I am going to find our son. I promise you. Okay? I promise you.

[Tender music]

Julie: Tr did this to you?

Eli: Yeah.

Julie: I knew it. I knew he was bad news from the get-go.

Eli: Grandma, you’re a good judge of character.

Julie: I never imagined he would try to murder my grandson. If I ever get my hands on him…

Eli: Okay, grandma… listen, that’s not good for your heart.

Julie: Forget about my heart. I just sent abe over to paulina’s apartment to explain that he’s still in love with her. What if tr is there? What if I have just put paulina and abe in harm’s way?

Eli: Grandma, lani is on her way over there right now.

Julie: Oh, god.

Paulina: In god’s name, what is this?

Tr: I can explain if you let me.

Paulina: The hell you can. You haven’t changed at all, have you, ray? You’re still the same lying, violent dog you always were!

Tr: You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Paulina: Give me back my damn phone. Give me my phone! Give me my–

Tr: Get off of me, woman. You better get away from me.

Paulina: You’re gonna hit me? Oh, you’re gonna hit me. Go ahead! Go ahead! I’m not that scared little girl you used to beat up on, not anymore. I’m not afraid of you. Go ahead, you coward!

Lani: You son of a bitch.

Tr: Lani. Baby, I can explain.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Ominous music ]

Steffy: No, no, this… this can’t be.

Taylor: Steffy. Honey, are– are you seeing the shooting?

Steffy: Sh– shooting? No. No. Uh– why is she there?

Ridge: What are you– who? What do you see?

Deacon: Was it a good idea to make a surprise visit to steffy’s? Of course not. She’s just getting out of the freaking hospital. She’s trying to put her life together, and you show up, asking to see hayes. Come on, it didn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that’d go over like a lead balloon. But… just cause she slammed the door on your face, doesn’t mean you have to leave town. Sheila, give her some time to heal. Let– let her get her memory back, at least. Maybe then she’d be more receptive —

Sheila: No! No. I can’T… I’m out of options, deacon. I need to leave. I need to leave L.A.

Paris: This is our chance. I’ve officially put zende in the friend zone. I let him down as easily as I could, and he was okay with it. Now, there’s no reason not for us to be out in the open. We don’t have to hide. Unless you still have feelings for your boss’ wife? Is that what’s going on? Is quinn the reason why you’re acting like we can’t be together?

Eric: We absolutely need something for each one of these, right? Hello, you two. Everything all right?

Paris: Because now would be a perfect time to say it.

Paris: It’s a simple answer. Yes, or no?

Carter: I’ve, uh, got those reports across the hall. We should head over. See if we can figure out an answer. Excuse us.

Eric: What was that all about?

Paris: Okay, let’s see these “reports.”

Carter: Why would you do that?

Paris: Look, carter. If I had any doubts, I don’t have them. Anymore. You still are into quinn.

Carter: Quinn and i ended a long time ago.

Paris: Just because you stopped seeing her, doesn’t mean your feelings disappeared. If you had your way, you and quinn would still be together.

Deacon: What are you talking about, out of options? When it comes to hayes, you’ve got nothing but options. Not the least of which is your new bff, taylor. I mean, she was the one who talked to steffy and got you invited over last time.

Shelia: You know, she may have been my advocate then. But that’s not going to happen again. It sure as hell isn’T. I lost that chance, and with finn gone, that’s just one more excuse to make sure I am never going to be a part of hayes’ life. Now that– that’s too much. It is just-it’s too much. The walls they’re-they’re just coming in on me right now, deacon, okay? The walls are just coming in.

Steffy: This doesn’t make sense. Why–why would she? Why would she– why would she?

Taylor: Steffy, steffy… catch us up, okay? You– you said you followed someone into the alley. Someone you were angry with.

[ Sighing ]

Steffy: Okay.

[ Ominous music ]

Sheila: No!

Ridge: You did say “she.” Who– who is that woman? Who– someone you know?

[ Frantic breathing ]

[ Gasping ]

Taylor: Who is it? Who are you seeing?

[ Frantic breathing ]

Steffy: Sheila. Sheila.

Trelegy for copd.

Eric: I hope everything is okay with them. I mean, I’d hate for them to be having a problem. They work so closely together at the foundation.

Quinn: I don’t know, but whatever it is, I am sure they will work it out. And we have something… that we need to work out. What does my handsome husband want for dinner tonight? I was thinking—

Eric: Yeah, whatever you want to do will be fine. I’ll love whatever it is. I am late for a meeting, though.

Quinn: Oh. A meeting?

Eric: Yeah. And pickleball after, but I won’t be late. I promise.

Quinn: Oh. Okay. My very busy husband. Everybody is wanting your attention. I just… I just hope you save some of that attention for me.

Carter: What– I don’t know why you are saying this. But quinn and I did cause a lot of pain, a lot of damage. And I wouldn’t want to go back to that feeling of guilt. Betraying a friend. And that is one of the reasons why we can’t be together. I won’t do that to zende.

Paris: Even though zende and I weren’t exclusively dating? Even though I told him I was no longer interested in dating, at all? Hm. Okay. Cool. Carter, it is so clear that you have feeling for her. At least, it is to me. And it’s only a matter of time before ridge and eric realize it too.

Deacon: Just take a deep breath. Come on, do it.

[ Inhaling ]

Deacon: That’s good. Yeah. And– no more talk about walls closing in. What does that even mean?

Sheila: You don’t want to know.

Deacon: Yes, I do. I want to try and help you, sheila. I got to tell you. I think all this grief… it’s– it’s keeping you from thinking straight. You know, it’s– it is like you got this cloud over you, that’s– I don’t know, it’s making you feel like you have to flee the city.

Shelia: No, no, no. This is not a “feeling.” This is fact. I know that this is what would be best. It would be best for everyone, if I just left and I never came back again.

Ridge: Sheila?

Steffy: I can see her in the alley. She’S… she’s there. She’s looking at me.

Taylor: It doesn’t make sense. If– if she was there, she would’ve said something to the police. She would’ve given any information that would be helpful. She-she wants–

Steffy: No, mom. She was there. I know what I saw.

Taylor: Steffy, maybe it was when you woke up in the hospital, and you saw her. That was really shocking to you. Until you realized she was finn’s mother.

Steffy. No. No. I remember. I remember the alley. She was there. I remember her!

Ridge: What was she doing? What were you doing? What were you talking about?

Steffy: I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know. It’s still so confusing– like– I, I was upset. Or maybe she was. Gosh, it– it’s still kind of fuzzy.

Ridge: All right. Fuzzy…great. But– if she was there, is she protecting whoever did this to you?

Taylor. Oh, ridge. She wouldn’t protect her son’s killer.

Ridge: Okay, hang on.

Taylor: This is crazy.

Ridge: All right, steffy, I hate to do this. I hate to have you go back to that night and think about it but I think we almost have to now, right? Why was sheila there? (Dana)it’s very difficult for the family

Paris: You know what? Never mind. You and I both know that it’s not going anywhere with quinn. She’s married. To your boss. A man who treats you like family.

Carter: I’m well aware.

Paris: So, you know you’re gonna have to put her behind you.

Carter: I do.

Paris: And who better to move on with, than me…?

Quinn: Hey, carter. I was wondering if– I– I’m so sorry. I had no idea you were still in a meeting.

Carter: No. We were— we were actually just, uh, wrapping up.

Quinn: Oh, okay. Well, I actually have something I need to run by you. Paris, would you mind giving us a minute?

Paris: Not at all. Talk to you both later.

Quinn: Okay.

[ Paris chuckling ]

Quinn: You do know I was rescuing you, right?

Carter: Thank you. It was much needed.

[ Carter sighing ] She’s on to me.

Quinn: On to you?

Carter: Yeah. About my feelings for you.

[ Donna moaning ]

[ Both giggling ]

Donna: Who knew pickleball could be so exciting?

Eric: I should’ve taken pickleball up years ago.

Donna: Oh, yeah.

Eric: Wait, wait.

Donna: Okay. Stop. Stop. I know what you’re thinking.

Eric: What?

Donna: We can’t keep meeting up for these… “games.”

Eric: Oh, you’re right. I can’t, uh, stop feeling guilty about doing this to quinn. But I can’t stop thinking about you.

Donna: And I can’t stop thinking about you.

Deacon: Sheila, I can see that you’re suffering. It’s obvious how much pain you are in.

Shelia: No. It’s not. You don’t have a clue, deacon.

Deacon: Okay. Fair enough. Help me understand. Hey, hayes is your only connection to finn. And– your last chance at a family. Taylor, she’s been accepting you more and more, right? Especially since you saved her life. This is it. This is your chance to be a part of all of it. Why would you want to leave now?

Ridge: There’s gotta be a reason why you’re seeing sheila. Did you have a conversation? Anything? Remember any words you had?

Steffy: Gah, I don’t– I don’t know, dad. I’m trying. I’m really trying.

Taylor: Okay, honey, just– just take a minute. Give her a minute.

Ridge: We can’t stop now.

Taylor: Ridge.

Ridge: We’re getting so close.

Steffy: Oh, my god.

Ridge: Hey. Look at me. You go to do this. For finn. What do you see? You are in the alley, it’s you, sheila and finn.

Steffy: Not finn. He wasn’t there at first. It’s just… it’s sheila and me. We’re at the restaurant. I think I must’ve called her or something. Because she seemed happy that I– I wanted to see her. But– but I’m angry. I told her she was worse than ever. And then, she left. She– she went into the alley, and I–I followed her. And I told her she wasn’t– she wasn’t gonna go anywhere. And now she’s angry. She’s very angry. She got in my face. And she– she pushed me against a dumpster and–

Ridge: What?

Steffy: The– the look in her eyes. She said she was going to stop me.

Taylor: From– from what?

Steffy: Gah! I don’t know. I don’t know. For some reason that finn won’t want anything to do with her. She said I should– that I– I would understand. As a mother I– I would, I would understand wanting to do anything to protect my relationship with my child. Oh, my god.

Ridge: What, steffy? What is it?

Steffy: Oh, my god.

Ridge: What?

Steffy: I told her she couldn’t see finn again. Or hayes. That’s when she– she reached– she reached into her purse. She reached into her purse. She didn’t even– she didn’t even hesitate. I’d only just seen him. He was suddenly there and finn just–

[ Gunshot ringing ] He just fell. He just fell. He was there.

Taylor: Oh, steffy. Are you– are you saying–

Steffy: Oh, my god. It was sheila! It was sheila! It was sheila. She– she shot finn! She killed her own son! She killed her own son. It was shelia. So what’s going on?

Quinn: Your feelings for me? Carter, I hope you set paris straight. ‘Cause there’s nothing going on between us!

Carter: I know.

Quinn: Okay, but does paris?

Carter: Yes. But…

Quinn: But what?

Carter: She also realizes I still care about you, and that I always will.

Quinn: Oh, carter, I will always care about you, too. But what we had between each other has to stay in the past. I am never going to betray eric like that again. And I can’t have paris walking around here, thinking that I–

Carter: Hey, hey. Don’t, don’t worry, okay? Doesn’t matter what she thinks. I know how committed you are to eric, and he does too. Despite my feelings for you, despite what we were together, that will never happen again. We will never hurt eric like that, again.

Quinn: No, we won’t! Eric had forgiven me and– and been loyal to me, even after what I did. I– I’m always going to appreciate having a– a faithful husband.

Eric: I can’t help feeling guilty. There’s something about being here with you. It just feels like– it feels like home.

Donna: I think I know what it is. It’S… the honey…

Eric: The honey? Yeah, maybe it is the honey.

Donna: It’s the honey.

Eric: Nah, nah, nah, that not just it. I think it’s you. It’s me with you. Laughing with you, kissing you. Holding you in my arms. I cannot stay away from you. You bring me such joy.

Shelia: It’s not that I want to leave. I don’T.

Deacon: So, stay.

Sheila: I can’T. It should– shouldn’t be like this. I– I should be holding hayes in my arms right now. And– and finn should be here. And he would be, if it weren’t for steffy.

Taylor: Sheila shot finn?

Steffy: Oh, my god. Oh, my god. I’m fin– finally remembering. On– on the ground, bleeding…

Ridge: Sheila. Of course, sheila —

Taylor: But how? That– that’s her son. Steffy, are you sure?

Steffy: Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Shelia– shelia, she– she stood there… with me… while finn was– I told him to hang on, but he… he couldn’T. He couldn’T. He couldn’T.

Taylor: Oh, steffy.

Steffy: I tried. I tried. I tried- I tried to call 911, and then– and then she came at me. She– she pointed the gun at me. And then she– she shot me. Shot me. It was sheila! Mom, it was sheila. It was sheila, she shot him, and then she turned the gun on me! She killed her own son!

[ Voice echoing ]

Steffy: Mom, you were gone for so many years, because of her. And now she’s taken my husband away. She killed her own son. I’m not going to let her get away with this. I want her to suffer. I want her to suffer. I want sheila carter to pay. She’s going to pay for what she’s done.

Adam: Diane. Welcome to the resurrection club. First rule of resurrection club is we don’t talk about the resurrection club.

Diane: Hello, Adam. You’re not as shocked to see me as I would’ve expected.

Adam: Well, my father spoiled the surprise.

Diane: Oh, I should’ve known.

Adam: Mm.

Diane: Mm.

Adam: Mm. You know, back when it really did look like you had bought the farm, I wanted to send you a “bite me” card for leaving things in a way that I would be implicated in your death, but i couldn’t find a forwarding address to hell.

Diane: I regret many things about that time.

Adam: How could you even stand to look at yourself in the mirror?

Diane: Well, I justified my actions by telling myself how resourceful you were, not that it’s any excuse.

Adam: Got to do what you got to do, right? I mean, half the people wanted you dead, and you did not disappoint. Everyone thought you were pushing up daisies. Really, it was impressive. But as someone who knows firsthand — and this is the second rule of resurrection club — once you’ve escaped, it’s the best idea not to come back.

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

Diane: Oh.

[Chuckles] I see what this is.

Ashley: You have no idea. Welcome back, bitch.

Diane: Ashley.

Ashley: You look pretty good for a dead person.

Diane: Thank you.

Ashland: Guess Victoria shot us both down, huh? I mean, we — we look a little pathetic, don’t you think? A couple of lap dogs hoping Victoria will throw us a bone, give us what we think we deserve.

Adam: [Chuckles] I really don’t know what you are talking about.

Ashland: Yeah? I’m just assuming that you think you still deserve to be co-CEO or temporary CEO of Newman/Locke or whatever fake title it is you — you’re willing to grovel for. But from what I just witnessed, Victoria doesn’t seem to be giving you the time of day.

Adam: And clearly you are out of the loop on the latest at your former company. The name Locke has been jettisoned, much like you’ve been. It’s all Newman now.

Ashland: Well, not all Newman. You seem to be having a little trouble holding onto your piece of the pie. Now, I may be out contractually, but I think I know Victoria well enough to know that she is not going to let you retain any title or power in her company.

Adam: Aww, apparently, you don’t realize how out of the loop you are. Have you heard who she is replacing you with as new co- CEO?

Ashland: Oh, she’s found someone already.

Adam: Yes. Nikki. So, looks like we both got screwed out of that coveted title. But at least I’m still head of the newly expanded Newman Media, which includes one of your other former companies. Whereas you just have my father’s money to keep you warm.

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

Sharon: Rey. Rey.

[Sighs] I miss you so much. I feel you everywhere in our home. Your spirit still lives in every room here. You know, when I come home and i come to the door, I — I expect to find you here waiting for me, and when I hear a noise upstairs, I think it’s you, moving around. I think you’re there getting ready for work, and then… and then I remember. And then it hits me all over again. Everything here reminds me of you. Your coffee cup is still sitting by the kitchen sink where you left it the last morning you were here, and I…I can’t bring myself to put it away. I hope you didn’t suffer. I hope you weren’t in any pain. And I hope you know how loved you were.

Are. Always. And I know your spirit’s always gonna be with me…protecting me. You know, I can just see you smiling at how happy Tessa was about Crystal. And now I know why you were so disinterested in my obsession with finding the perfect wedding gift, because you already had something in the works. And I can’t believe you didn’t breathe a word of that to me.

[Sighs] You know, I should be mad at you for keeping that secret. But I can’t. I mean, I can never be mad at you again.

[Sighs] “Stop it — stop it, Sharon. Stop it.”

[Sighs] At least that’s what you would tell me. You gave me so many pep talks when I was sick. Who am I gonna turn to now? I don’t know how I’m gonna manage without you.

[Sniffles] My precious husband. Somehow I’m gonna find a way.

Diane: Jack, kyle, what’s — what’s the problem?

Jack: You.

Diane: Wh– police?

Kyle: This is her.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] Wait, what have I done?

Ready to press charges?

Kyle: I have waited my entire life.

Diane: Charges?

Jack: We’re charging you with abandonment.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] No. No, you don’t understand.

Jack: Oh, I understand. I understand plenty well. You’re a liar. You’re a coward. You said you wanted to have a child more than anything in the world. You didn’t have the patience to raise him. You couldn’t wait to get out of town to avoid the pandemonium you created.

Diane: No, no, it wasn’t like that. Besides, I’m a good person now.

Jack: You turned your back on your own child.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]

Jack: You know, when you have a little kid, you assume they’re gonna go along with pretty much everything you say, the way you think. And then they grow up and have opinions of their own.

Kyle: Mm. The nerve.

Jack: Not the easiest thing in the world, encourage your son to chart his own path and — and watch him make decisions that make you a little nervous.

Kyle: I know harrison will eventually get there. I’m already dreading it.

Jack: Have you been in touch with your mother since you told her you were gonna give her a chance to prove herself?

Kyle: Nope.

Jack: Having second thoughts?

Kyle: Big time.

Billy: Hi.

Lily: Hi.

Billy: Did you order for me?

Lily: I did.

Billy: You did? Great. Did you get me a cute little teapot with a cute little cup? I need to keep my vocal cords all nice and smooth for my podcast.

Lily: Oh, “the grinning soul.”

Billy: You heard it. Am I in the doghouse?

Lily: I am concerned.

Billy: Okay, but have you seen the numbers? Because it’s doing pretty well for a brand-new series.

Lily: Billy —

Billy: I did all the things that we talked about doing. I altered my voice. I made all the names and locations anonymous to protect the guilty.

Lily: It doesn’t matter. It’s gonna take two seconds for anyone close to the situation to know that you’re talking about ashland.

Billy: Well, if the sociopathic shoe fits…

Adam: So first victoria says she doesn’t need a partner, then, suddenly, out of nowhere, she appoints nikki as co-ceo. That spot should’ve been mine.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Did victor back her up?

Adam: [ Sighs ] She said it was a unilateral decision, that she didn’t need our father’s approval, which is untrue. He would have to sign off on something like that, which means he did. And word is already spreading to the company of nikki’s appointment, and did anybody bother warning me about it? Just another one of my dad’s mind games, another game of musical chairs, when once again I’m standing here being left out in the cold.

Sally: [ Sighs ] So victoria lets ashland get his hooks into the company, and then once he’s out, she just goes back to business like nothing happened, like she wasn’t the cause of all this chaos.

Adam: [ Sighs ] I don’t know why I waste my time hoping that they’ll give me a chance. It’s never gonna happen. I mean, this is our pattern.

Sally: I hate seeing them put you through the wringer, especially since it is clear to me that you don’t need any of them.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Any suggestions on what I should do about it?

Sally: Strike out on your own. Cut ties with the newmans altogether. So what’s going on?

Additional sponsorship

provided by… when asthma symptoms strike, airways narrow.

Adam: Cutting ties? I have done that. More than once. I’m not sure I want to do it again.

Sally: Why not? Maybe your mistake was returning to the newman family fold.

Adam: Look, here’s the thing, my dad has this seemingly blind acceptance of victoria’s leadership abilities no matter how many times she screws up. And as long as she is in charge, she’s gonna cut me out, so if i walk away, it just feels like I’m conceding, like I’m letting her win.

Sally: Would that really be the worst thing in the world?

Adam: Um…I’m the one that came up with the idea to get locke out for good. I am the one that should be rewarded for that. She is still in my way, and she still refuses to acknowledge that I’m the one that saved her. So why should I give her what she wants?

Sally: You said it yourself — victor could’ve stepped in and vetoed victoria’s decision to promote nikki. But he didn’t, he let it stand in a transparent ploy to block you from what you deserve, what you earned. You have come way too far and you have done way too much to prove yourself to your family, and it is never enough.

Adam: Well, thanks for rubbing in in.

Sally: No, my point is if they are not gonna show you the respect that you have been looking for, then why stick around? You don’t need them. You’re talented and inspired and capable of making brilliant moves on your own.

Adam: Okay, so let’s say i did what you’re proposing and i cut all ties and I walked away from all things newman, including running newman media, and I left you here on your own to deal with my family. Would you really be okay with that?

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Jack: You abandoned kyle.

Diane: No, I walked away because that’s what was best.

Jack: For you!

Diane: No, for kyle! Please, I love my son.

Jack: Lies.

Diane: No! I do!

Jack: She walked away and never looked back.

Diane: Why are you doing this? It was the hardest decision of my life.

Kyle: She’s a complete fraud. Can’t be trusted. Don’t buy a word of it.

Jack: Never looked back.

Diane: There was an empty, broken place in my heart without you, and it started to heal when you said you’d give me a second chance. Please don’t take this away from me, kyle.

>>A mother letting her kid think she’s dead — that’s as low as it gets.

Diane: I didn’t want to abandon him. I wanted to come back.

Jack: You know how you can tell she’s lying? She’s moving her mouth.

Kyle: Mm.

Diane: I wanted you with me every day, kyle, but you deserved better. You deserved a stable, safe place where you could have the best that life had to offer.

You have the right to remain silent.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]

Kyle: She’s a prodigious liar so that’s not gonna happen.

And the right to an attorney.

Kyle: She’ll never find one to take this case.

Jack: Defending a woman who left her boy motherless?

Diane: Please, please. No! No, you don’t understand.

Jack: Have some dignity. Do the right thing for once. Go!

Diane: No!

[ Sighs ]

Jack: Ooh, stealing harrison’s cookies.

Kyle: Mm, I won’t tell if you don’T.

Jack: I’ll pass.

Kyle: Not that I ever want to keep things from my son. I like to think I haven’t inherited my mother’s bad habits.

Jack: I can see this is really weighing on you.

Kyle: Can’t sleep. Every time I close my eyes, i think about the awful things she’s done. How she’s hurt people I love, and how am I supposed to reconcile that woman, the one who walked away when I was so young, to the woman that she says she is now?

Jack: Believe, I understand how complicated your situation is.

Kyle: And she says that she turned her life around. That she recreated herself, and the last time I saw her, before she sent me away, before she changed my name, she promised that she was going to join me, but then she chose to vanish from my life.

[ Stammers ] Pretend she was dead.

Jack: Did she maybe share with you her reasoning in making those decisions?

Kyle: Yeah, they — they all sounded plausible. And — and potentially rehearsed. I… like she had been waiting for the chance to say them all to my face.

Jack: And that’s what’s keeping you awake at night.

Kyle: Yeah.

Jack: So what are you gonna do about it?

Kyle: I don’t know. We’ve heard all the facts, what mom did, what she said. I need to know how you feel about all this. What — what’s your gut telling you?

Jack: Kyle, I made a promise to myself not to interfere, not to try to influence how you felt about your mother and her story.

Kyle: Yeah, and I appreciate that you’ve managed to put your own personal feelings aside and encourage me to walk into this with an open mind, but now that I’ve heard her out, I need to unravel whether I believe she’s changed into a good, trustworthy person, or if it’s the little kid in me that’s wishing it were true.

Jack: And you want to be objective.

Kyle: And I don’t think I can be.

Jack: So you’ve come to me for that.

Kyle: Dads have all the answers. At least that’s what harrison says.

Jack: Yeah, I remember that. Cherish that.

Kyle: I do.

Jack: Kyle, for the last few days, I have puzzled over the same questions that have bedeviled you. Why did diane come back now of all times to reveal that she’s still alive? Can we still believe her?

Kyle: Bingo.

Jack: I have asked for the benefit of the doubt more times than I can count, so I put myself in diane’s shoes when she made that horrible decision all those years ago, tried to explain to myself why I would leave my child behind.

Kyle: Given that the original plan, the one she worked out with adam, was so that she could fake her own death so she could leave with me.

Jack: Diane claims she changed her mind, that she didn’t want that future for you, living on the run. She didn’t believe I would ever give up on trying to find either of you. And she’s 100% right about that.

Kyle: But if she had just come to me from the beginning and tried to explain, we could —

Jack: Kyle, listen to me. You were very young. Would you have understood? And would it have been any better, knowing that she’s out there somewhere without you? You’d have spent your life asking questions that would have made you a completely different man, and I happen to love the man you have become. So maybe, just maybe, this one time, diane made the right choice in leaving the way she did.

Sally: Have I told you how much I hate hypotheticals?

Adam: You’ve never imagined it?

Sally: What I would do if you noped out of newman and left me here alone?

Adam: Would you stay or would you go?

Sally: I would keep my job and do my best to win your entire family over.

Adam: Why?

Sally: Because, aside from the fact that I love my job and that I have absolute faith that we will be phenomenally successful wherever we choose to be, do you know how rare this is? To find someone who thinks the way that you do, who believes in you, who makes you laugh, who wants what you want? Have you ever met anyone like that?

Adam: Yeah. Once.

Sally: For the first time, i actually feel like I’m meeting someone on my level. That is why we work, because we take each other exactly how we are. I don’t need you to be the good or the bad version of yourself or what everyone else expects you to be.

Adam: What — what do you want?

Sally: Just you. All of you.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Look, knowing that you are willing to brave my family, it should make the decision to walk away easier. But it just — it feels different this time. I don’t know if — if I’m older and wiser or it’s knowing that someone has my back. But now I just — it feels like walking away, I would be giving up instead of doing something on my own terms. On the other hand, despite my best efforts, I could just be falling for my dad’s games, craving the look of approval in his eyes.

Sally: Yeah. His opinion will always mean something to you, no matter what.

Adam: I just don’t think that I can ignore the challenge that victoria threw down by hiring nikki over me.

Sally: You shouldn’t have to battle for recognition, especially after everything you’ve done for your family. But if you choose to stay and fight, I will still be here. And if you want to just walk away and turn your back on all of them, then I will stand by you. Either way, I will support you. I’ll weigh in with my advice and do my best to make sure that we are both successful.

Adam: So I guess the only thing now is to consider what is best for me right now.

Sally: But I will continue to tell you that you deserve better. And then I will kiss you to drive the point home.

Billy: The whole point of recording a second voice-altered podcast was so I could talk about the issues that billy abbott needs to publicly distance himself from.

Lily: Look, if you try to convince me that two billys are better than one —

Billy: Well, just hear me out for a second, because the way i see it, billy one is your right-hand man. Billy two is untamed, a rebel that answers to no one.

Lily: Look, you know I love the idea of the anonymous podcast where you can talk about what you want without there being any blowback to the company.

Billy: I love your ability to say “but” without actually saying “but.”

Lily: You have a confrontation with ashland, then you turn right around and vent about it on a podcast?

Billy: I didn’t mention our names.

Lily: It doesn’t matter. Anyone can connect the dots.

Billy: I think you’re worried about it because you know the players. So think about it for a second without picturing the snake that we all know very, very well. I could’ve been talking about any other mogul who has used manipulation and deceit to rise to power. And that is what the average listener is going to hear.

Lily: Yeah, and I really hope that you’re right. And look, I agree with the message that you sent, but be prepared if certain people — like victoria — see beyond this “grinning soul” persona and know that it’s you putting it out there. I brought in ensure max protein,

Billy: Wasn’t it you that requested we not talk about victoria at least for one day? So here’s the deal. Did she need protecting? Yes, I believe she did. Before she found out the kind of man that ashland locke was. But now that she knows, the truth is out there, then I don’t see the harm.

Lily: If anyone figures out that these stories are about ashland, how do you think that’s gonna make victoria look?

Billy: Like a sympathetic figure. Like a loving partner that was deceived from the most heinous of men, and I hope that she appreciates the fact that I’m not personally getting involved in her problems, because you were right — that would be a bad idea.

Lily: Have you thought about what would happen if it’s ashland that figures out that you’re behind this?

Billy: I hope he does. I really do. I hope he puts together the math, and I would pay to see the look on his face when he realizes that he is the monster underneath the bed and that everyone listening out there is putting together the story. Recoiling from horror at all the lies that he’s perpetrated his entire life, because ashland locke needs to realize that actions have consequences.

Jack: Kyle, to be clear, I am not condoning anything else that diane has done or offering any opinions about who she is as a person.

Kyle: Noted.

Jack: She hurt a lot of people in a lot of ways, and I — I just —

Kyle: What is it? I asked you to be completely honest with me.

Jack: Kyle, if diane had stuck to her original plan, taking you with her and disappeared, would I ever see you again? I mean, if she evaded every effort I made to track you two down… I hate to even think what that would have been to us. And I can’t think about your situation without thinking about my mother. I was absolutely gutted when she left our family, when she — when she left me behind. I was angry for so many years, and when she walked back into our lives, I wanted to slam the door in her face. It is nothing short of a miracle that before she died, we were able to reconcile, that I found some understanding and some forgiveness. It’s one of the greatest gifts of my life. Do I want that for you? Absolutely, more than anything. Maybe this once diane did the right thing. I’m not saying she’s changed. I’m not saying I accept everything she’s telling us on faith. I’m just saying I believe the decision to leave you behind is the toughest decision she ever made in her life.

Kyle: [ Sighs ]

Jack: Kyle, I know that’s not the simple answer you were hoping to get from me. But there’s nothing simple about this.

Kyle: You’re right. It’d be cool if we could just run a sim.

Jack: Come again?

Kyle: A simulation. What a future with my mother in it would look like.

Jack: And how exactly would we pull that off?

Kyle: We put her to the full abbott test.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Jack: Thank you, kyle. I’ll take care of the rest.

Meet ron.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Lily: Look, even the thought of someone possibly having cancer can turn their life upside down, so the fact that ashland used a lie like that to make a profit, I mean, it makes me angry that he’s walking around here with no care in the world. So, yes, you know, this has a very personal thing thing for me.

Billy: 100%, and it sounds like we agree, so why are you upset about the podcast?

Lily: Because I don’t like the idea of you possibly losing this amazing platform because you’re not being careful with when and how to, you know, put this information out there.

Billy: I get it, I do. But I really don’t think that this is going to be a blip on victoria’s radar. She’s got more important things to keep her mind on rather than the anonymous musings of “the grinning soul.”

Lily: Well, I really hope you’re right.

Billy: I am right. You don’t want me to be right, because then I would pile up the other side of all the other times I’ve been right, and then it’ll be off-balance.

Lily: Oh, my god, give me a break.

Billy: Oh, saved by a phone call.

Lily: Then answer it. I don’t care.

Billy: Jack.

Jack: Drop whatever you’re doing and come to the abbott house. I’m calling a family meeting.

Billy: Okay, but what if I’m in the middle of something important?

Jack: Nothing’s more important than supporting kyle right now. Ashley, traci, abby are all on their way. Hopefully I can count on you, too.

Billy: Yeah, of course, I’ll be there as soon as I can.

Lily: What’s going on?

Billy: Jack is calling a family meeting because it sounds like kyle is back in town, and, you know, diane is not dead anymore, so sounds like a fun occasion.

Lily: Well, unlike the chancellor-winters meeting you’ll be missing.

Billy: Uh, yeah, can I get a pass on that?

Lily: Uh, I really need my coo there.

Billy: Yeah, you’re right. Wouldn’t be the first time that I show up late to a family gathering. I’ll just go when I’m done.

Lily: You sure?

Billy: 100%. You and chancellor-winters are my top priorities.

Sally: Sneaking upstairs to a suite here never gets old.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Oh, my god.

Sally: Adam?

Adam: Diane. Welcome to the resurrection club. First rule of resurrection club is we don’t talk about the resurrection club.

Diane: Hello, adam. You’re not as shocked to see me as I would’ve expected.

Adam: Well, my father spoiled the surprise.

Diane: Oh, I should’ve known.

Adam: Mm.

Diane: Mm.

Adam: Mm. You know, back when it really did look like you had bought the farm, I wanted to send you a “bite me” card for leaving things in a way that I would be implicated in your death, but i couldn’t find a forwarding address to hell.

Diane: I regret many things about that time.

Adam: How could you even stand to look at yourself in the mirror?

Diane: Well, I justified my actions by telling myself how resourceful you were, not that it’s any excuse.

Adam: Got to do what you got to do, right? I mean, half the people wanted you dead, and you did not disappoint. Everyone thought you were pushing up daisies. Really, it was impressive. But as someone who knows firsthand — and this is the second rule of resurrection club — once you’ve escaped, it’s the best idea not to come back.

Sally: Hello. I’m sally. Sally spectra. Adam and I work together.

Diane: Oh, I gather things have progressed beyond that, since it appears you were headed upstairs.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: You have more nerve than I thought, coming back to town, staying in phyllis’ hotel. It’s a death wish. Some things never change.

Diane: Everything’s changed. As I told victor, I’m not here to cause trouble or have anything to do with your family. I’m here for one reason only — kyle.

Adam: Your son that you abandoned, even though you and i had made a plan for you to be able to join him and start a new life together. Hey, but plans change, right?

Diane: I won’t make excuses or try to justify what I did.

Adam: Smart.

Diane: Yes, I don’t like who I was back then, and I’m not proud of the things I did. Something I think you can understand.

Adam: [ Exhales sharply ] Well, I guess the new-and-improved diane isn’t above taking potshots at her former co-conspirator.

Diane: No, that’s not what i was doing. I’ve managed to keep up with what’s going on in genoa city. I know that you’ve worked hard to turn over a new leaf and make a different life for yourself.

Adam: What is your point?

Diane: I just want the same thing that everyone gave you. A second chance.

Adam: I hope that is true. I don’t have the same kind of beef with you that the rest do, so good luck, I guess.

Diane: Thank you, adam. Nice to meet you, sally.

Sally: You too.

Abby: Kyle!

Ashley: Good to see you, kyle. How are you?

Kyle: Hanging in there.

Traci: I have been thinking about you nonstop since our chat, and I’m hoping so much that you were able to find a little clarity.

Jack: Billy should be here any minute. I know we all have a lot of questions, but we’re kind of running out of time.

Abby: Why? What’s going on? I thought this was a family meeting.

Kyle: We’re having a special visitor arrive soon.

Traci: Not —

Jack: Yes, her.

Ashley: Diane jenkins is coming here?

Kyle: She is.

Ashley: I can’t believe she would have the nerve to come back to genoa city, let alone this house.

Kyle: Actually, she’s already been here. This won’t be my first time seeing her.

Ashley: Well, it will be your last, if I have anything to say about it.

Abby: If someone had told me that diane was gonna be at —

Jack: It’s why I didn’t tell you, abby.

Kyle: She claims she’s changed.

Ashley: Into what, exactly?

Jack: Would you let him finish his thought, please?

Kyle: She says that she spent her time away getting her life together.

Abby: [ Scoffs ] Okay, should we be amused or afraid? Why is she back in genoa city?

Kyle: For me, to explain herself and ask for forgiveness.

Ashley: But you’re not actually considering forgiving her, right? Because even if she has spent the last few years polishing her halo through charity and good works, you know that it’s — it’s just an act, right?

Abby: Kyle, I mean, how do you feel about all this? It can’t be easy finding out that your mother’s alive and that she wants to reconnect with you.

Ashley: Use you. Let’s not forget who we’re talking about.

Kyle: I’m not sure what to think.

Abby: After all of these years, maybe she wants to do the right thing?

Jack: Diane has made a very compelling case for herself.

Ashley: Oh, please. You don’t actually believe that she’s had some kind of miraculous transformation.

Jack: I am just as skeptical as you are, just as wary of her motives, but we three know what it is to be estranged from the woman who brought us —

Ashley: Don’t you dare go there, jack. I know our mother was a piece of work, but she’s nothing compared to diane.

Traci: Okay, okay, please, please. Sorry, kyle. We know that this is a very — an exceedingly difficult situation.

Abby: Kyle, look, all we want to do is support you. We want to be here for you, no matter what you choose. Right?

Jack: Abby’s right. That’s been my approach to this whole fiasco.

Ashley: Okay. I’m sorry. And please tell us, how do you feel now that you’ve actually spoken with your mother?

Kyle: I don’t know. I’ve been going back and forth trying to figure out if she’s lying or if she’s telling the truth, which is why I’ve called all of you here today.

Jack: It is one thing for diane to feed kyle a lot of well-rehearsed regrets and promises to do better.

Kyle: And something else completely to have to face me and my family. See how she handles herself in front of people who have seen her at her worst. That’s how I figure out if she’s telling the truth and if she’s sincere about being a changed person. What do you say?

Abby: I think we should.

Traci: Might as well.

Jack: Ashley, what do you think?

Ashley: Hell yes. Bring it on.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] The lows of bipolar depression

Ashley: So what time is diane’s broom scheduled to get here?

Kyle: Five minutes ago.

Abby: Maybe she got cold feet.

Traci: Look, if — if this is going to work, if it’s gonna get results, we have to all stick to the plan, okay?

Ashley: And maybe if we’re lucky, she got herself kicked out of town already.

Jack: Be nice, ash.

Ashley: This is me being nice, jack.

Kyle: Don’t bother bombarding her with old grievances. That’s not going to get us anywhere.

Abby: I loathe her as much as anyone, but the reason why we’re all here is to help kyle discover the truth.

Traci: Right, and to understand what’s on diane’s mind and in her heart.

Ashley: And to help kyle with the outcome when he realizes his mother actually has no heart.

Abby: Mom.

Ashley: No, I have seen into her soul. It’s a deep, dark abyss. I do not believe that she’s had some kind of miraculous transformation.

Adam: How are you so perfect? No, I mean it. And I’m not talking about your face, which is a thing of beauty. Or your body and the things that you can do with it. You didn’t bombard me with questions two seconds after we saw diane.

Sally: I knew that you would tell me when the time was right. And that was definitely not the time.

Adam: Okay. You ready?

Sally: Yes! Yes, I have been dying to hear all about this woman since i first heard her name, and now that I’ve seen her in the flesh, I’m like 1,000 times more pcurious.

Adam: Diane is driven. She’s obsessed. She will stop at nothing to get what she wants. And not in a good way, like you. And I wouldn’t hesitate helping her when it would work to my advantage.

Sally: In what way?

Adam: We worked together to make it look like victor was dead to drive down the price of the newman stock.

Sally: You didn’T.

Adam: Made a pretty sizable profit, too. That was the kind of relationship that we had. I agreed that I would help her escape the mess that she had made of her life, evade jack, and start a new life with her son. And that is that.

Sally: Wow.

Adam: Yeah, I did a lot of things back then that I wasn’t proud of, but I’d like to think that that scheme at least was semi-noble.

Sally: Well, diane’s right, you definitely have changed. You’ve grown.

Adam: Well, what can I say? I’m a work in progress. No, but all kidding aside, I’m glad that you’re in my corner. It’s nice being with someone who is “meeting me on my level.”

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Yes, it’s a rare thing. So what are you gonna do about your family’s latest move?

Adam: I’m not sure.

Sally: Well, I will take this ride with you wherever it goes.

Kyle: Thanks for coming.

Diane: Yeah, I was so excited when I got your text.

Kyle: Right this way.

Diane: Oh.

[ Chuckles ] I see what this is.

Ashley: You have no idea. Welcome back, bitch.

Diane: Ashley.

Ashley: You look pretty good for a dead person.

Diane: Thank you.

Traci: It’s been a long time, diane.

Diane: Lovely to see you, traci. You too, abby.

Kyle: I felt it was important that, if we’re going to take the next step, that you meet with all of us. If I’m going to allow you back in my life — and that’s still a big if — it not only affects my life, but the lives of my entire family. All of us you have a history with.

Jack: Each of us is affected one way or the other.

Diane: I have no desire to cause any problems for the abbotts.

Kyle: Nonetheless, it’s something you will have to understand and accept — your presence affects us all. Just like we will have to decide if we accept your claim that you are a different person now.

Next week on “the young and the restless”…

Adam: I have already made my decision. I want newman enterprises — every single bit of it.

Jack: I would love for you to meet allie nguyen. This is keemo’s daughter and my granddaughter.

Allie: Hi, everyone. How are you?

Michael: You were dead.

Diane: And now I’m not.

Michael: It’s pretty good to see you.

Proofread by Anita

Sonny: Yeah, I got your latest report on the West Coast competition. Looks great, Brick.

[ Knock on door ]

Sonny: Yeah. Come in!

Frank: Boss, there’s someone here to see you.

Sonny: Alright, listen, something just came up. I’ll get that report to you.

[ Cellphone clatters ]

Sonny: Wow, you don’t waste any time, do you? I just saw you this morning.

Dex: You said to come by your office — you might have more work for me, so why wait?

Sonny: Frank, can you wait outside?

Frank: Yes, sir.

Dex: I brought my résumé.

[ Door closes ]

[ Paper ripping ]


Brando: Where’s TJ? They should have the C results by now.

Sasha: Maybe he got caught up with another patient. I’m sure the CT will be fine. All I have is a headache and some jangled nerves. We shouldn’t even have bothered him.

Brando: You had a major shock last night. I’m tracking TJ down.

TJ: Sorry for the wait. There was a backup in radiology.

Sasha: Will I live?

TJ: Your CT looked fine, but do you want me to give you something for the headaches?


Sasha: The photographer. I can’t shake him! [ Sighs ]

Gladys: He wants this.

Sasha: You stole his memory card?

Gladys: That rat deserved it after taking all those pictures of you just to make a fast buck.

Valentin: Can I be of some assistance?


Curtis: Jordan. Are you okay?

Jordan: Fine. Passed my latest checkup with flying colors.

Curtis: That’s good. What’s with the concerned expression?

Jordan: I’m following up with the M.E. About the Harmony Miller case. What about you?

Curtis: Um, I was hoping to speak with TJ, but he’s been working these 24-hour shifts. It’s kind of hard to get a hold of him.

Jordan: One thing you can say about my son, he’s no slacker.

Curtis: No, he isn’t.

Jordan: So what do you want to talk to TJ about? Sorry. None of my business. I guess old habits die hard.


Salon worker: May I help you?

Nina: Um, no, thank you. I think I see the person that I’m looking for. Thank you so much.

Scott: Oh!

Nina: Ohh!

Scott: [ Exhales sharply ]

Nina: Sorry, here you go. Can I just have a second?

Nail Tech: Yeah.

Nina: Thank you so much.

Scott: Um, Nina. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Uh, if you’re looking for a manicure, Veronica, she’s your girl. But if you’re looking for your attorney, he’s busy!

Nina: Too bad, Scott. Listen, I need your full and complete attention, and I need it now.


Willow: It’s not true.

Dante: I’m sorry, Willow, but the evidence we have that says you are not Harmony’s biological daughter was taken from Dr. Byrne’s notes — what’s left of them, anyway.

Michael: “What’s left”?

Carly: Harmony burned most of them. I found a remaining sheet of notes and a file folder that Harmony missed.

Dante: So what we have are partial records of Dr. Byrne’s therapy sessions with Harmony.

Michael: If it’s only a partial record, then maybe you misunderstood Dr. Byrne’s notes.

Carly: Harmony told me. She said that you weren’t her biological daughter.

Michael: I mean… that might explain why your mom attacked my mom and Alexis, so no one else would know the truth.

Dante: Sorry, Willow. I know you’ve got questions. And you know what? The PCPD will do our best to make sure you get answers.

Michael: Willow?

Willow: It’s a lie.


Sonny: I don’t rely on résumés. Chet already said all kinds of nice things about you, and I know you can handle yourself by the way you dealt with those fighters that were supposed to be sparring, but they ended up fighting.

Dex: Does that mean I have a job?

Sonny: I’ve got to get to know you better before I decide whether you’re the right fit for one of my businesses.

Dex: Coffee. Import/export.

Sonny: The most important thing is trust, especially in my business. I’ve got to know if I can trust you. If that’s a problem, we stop right now.


TJ: Tell you what — I’ll write down an over-the-counter, non-habit-forming medication. That should take care of the headaches.

Sasha: Thanks.

TJ: And if the headaches persist, we can talk about something stronger, okay?

[ Door opens ]


Gladys: Valentin. It’s been a while.

Valentin: It has. I was on my way out and saw you sitting here, having a heck of a time with that memory card.

Gladys: Hey, whoa. Whoa, whoa.

Valentin: Allow me. Want me to open these files?

Gladys: No, no. I can handle it from here.

Valentin: What have we here? It’s the face of Deception.


Jordan: If I run into TJ, I’ll tell him you’re looking for him.

Curtis: Jordan, wait. It is about Marshall.

Jordan: What about him?

Curtis: TJ likes the guy. Says he wants to get to know his grandfather.

Jordan: TJ has a big heart and is very forgiving. Marshall’s absence for all these years hasn’t hurt him like it has you.

Curtis: I know, but still, there are some things that TJ is entitled to know.

Jordan: Such as?

Curtis: Such as who and what Marshall really is.


Scott: Oh, for crying out loud, Nina. Come on, get lost.

Nina: No, I’m not gonna get lost, Scott. You’re supposed to be preparing to fight for my right to be part of my grandson’s life, not getting a manicure.

Scott: Well, now, judges like well-manicured lawyers — not to mention your Aunt Liesl. She likes when my nails are clipped and polished and ready for action.

Nina: The state of your cuticles is not a high priority right now, Scott, since I got the advanced copy of the five-part series The Invader is going to run on me soon.

Scott: Yeah, I got it, too.

Nina: You got it?

Scott: Yes.

Nina: And so why are you so calm? They’re out to sabotage me even before I step foot in a courtroom.

Scott: Who’s “they”?

Nina: Michael and Willow. Who else?


Michael: This is a lot to process, okay? Dante could come back later —

Willow: Neil Byrne lost his medical license. He had a drug problem. Who’s to say he didn’t make up lies about my mother, create his own fantasy, blaming her for some imaginary adoption? The man was obviously delusional.

Dante: Okay, Willow, as I said earlier, the PCPD is not going to accept anything without further proof. But you have to ask yourself, why else would Harmony kill her psychiatrist and his brother if not to keep her secret protected?

Willow: I don’t know. But you want to know what I do know? My mother loved me. Maybe she wasn’t always the best mom, but whatever her crimes, she loved me as only a mother can love her child, especially now, before she…

Michael: No, no. [ Sighs ] My mom said that Harmony admitted the truth to her. She wouldn’t lie.

Carly: She said it to me again — well, to Alexis and me — on Rana Point. That’s why she attacked us. She was so desperate to keep her secret, and when it started coming out, she just lost it.

Michael: Maybe that’s what drove Harmony into the middle of the road without looking. She was focused on finding you, to tell you what she did and to seek forgiveness.

Willow: That’s what you were talking about in the chapel.

Carly: Yeah. I knew it would be a shock. I just wanted to give you a little time. That’s why I didn’t want to tell you last night. I didn’t tell Michael either.

Willow: I didn’t lose my mother last night. She was never mine in the first place.


Dex: Chet warned me you might tear up the résumé. He said you play by your own rules.

Sonny: But you brought the résumé anyway.

Dex: I’d rather be over-prepared than show up lacking.

Sonny: I like your philosophy. If — and that’s a big if — I have room for you in one of my businesses, then I need to know that you’re going to be able to take orders and follow them. No going rogue, and never think that you know better than me. Are we clear?

Dex: Crystal. I just need a chance to prove myself.

Sonny: What do you think we’re doing? I know you’re tough. You already proved that to me this morning. But being tough can only get you so far. Smart is the better way.


Brando: Everything okay?

TJ: Sasha’s CT didn’t indicate any serious injury, but there’s no reason for her to live with residual pain. So I recommended a painkiller.

Brando: Yeah, I noticed the script.

Sasha: It’s over the counter and non-habit-forming.

Brando: [ Scoffs ] Okay. Thanks for your help.

TJ: Any time.

Sasha: Now, if you two don’t mind, I would love to freshen up before I get back to work as the Face of Deception.

TJ: Of course.

Sasha: Thanks, Dr. Ashford.

TJ: Yeah.

Brando: Pick you up later?

Sasha: Yeah, of course. Yeah. [ Exhales deeply ]

[ Door closes ]

Sasha: What the hell are you doing here?

Felty: I saw your husband and doctor leaving. I thought I should check up on you. Missing something? I know just how you feel.


Valentin: I didn’t think that Sasha was capable of taking a bad picture.

Gladys: [ Sighs ] It’s not Sasha. It’s the creepy paparazzo who wouldn’t leave her alone.

Valentin: And how did you get your hands on his photos?

Gladys: How do you think?

Valentin: These were taken last night, I assume before Harmony Miller was run down.

Gladys: It was an accident.

Valentin: Well, you know that and I know that, but in the wrong hands, these photos tell a decidedly different story. Look.


Jordan: I thought you made peace with Marshall’s past.

Curtis: Easier said than done. After you refused to dig up my father’s sealed arrest records —

Jordan: I gave you my reasons why I wouldn’t help you with that.

Curtis: And I understood. Look, I wasn’t happy about it, but then I realized that I was putting you in an impossible situation.

Jordan: You found someone else to help you.

Curtis: Certain information came my way.

Jordan: What kind?

Curtis: The kind that you wouldn’t release to me.

Jordan: And how exactly did you manage that when I said no?


Scott: Your case is going to be decided in court, not on the pages of The Invader, so I suggest that you just chill out and get yourself a manicure.

Nina: The byline belongs to this guy, Grant Smoltz, and he’s half reporter, half pit bull, and, Scott, he’s painting me as this vengeful, homewrecking vixen out to get Wiley’s other grandmother, saint Carly.

Scott: Well, there’s nothing I can do about Smoltz and his slander, because everything that was said, is, you know, public record.

Nina: No. You don’t think that the judge is going to read that article and deny my petition for visitation? Do you really think that? I mean, out of the two grandmothers, who do you think the judge is going to have more sympathy for?

Scott: Well, you know what? There are two grandmothers involved in this, and one of them just died. So, Harmony Miller, compared to you — I mean, you’re like Mother Teresa.

Nina: So what are you thinking?

Scott: Harmony Miller is a suspect in two murders. She assaulted Carly and Alexis, and she’s dead. So I’m sure that Willow is all over the map right now and so is Michael.

Nina: And?

Scott: Well, we go to their barracuda lawyer and we say it behooves them to just drop this whole invader thing. Otherwise, we go to court and let the judge decide whose behavior is better, yours or a double murderer’s.

Diane: Nice try, counselor. But on behalf of my clients, the answer is, we will see you in court.


Willow: It makes A… scary kind of sense… and explains so much. Harmony isn’t my biological mother. Is that why she couldn’t find my birth certificate, why there was no official record of its existence?

Dante: Well, according to Alexis, that birth certificate never did exist. What Harmony gave you was forged.

Willow: Forged?

Carly: When you were a baby, Harmony took you from somebody else and claimed you as her own.

Willow: So I was kidnapped? Oh, my god. What else don’t I know?

Michael: Look, let’s take a break.

Willow: No, no! We cannot stop now. Everything I ever thought about my childhood is a lie. I have to know the truth.


Dex: I never went to college, Mr. Corinthos, but I served two tours. I have combat experience. I can handle myself under pressure when everything’s on the line.

Sonny: I appreciate the ability to handle trouble, but I don’t want my employees looking for trouble.

Dex: I kept my nose clean at the gym. I only mixed it up when I had to.

Sonny: Chet told me that, yeah.

Dex: If you keep your cool, you don’t have to mix it up. But if there’s no choice, I act quickly and make sure I’m the last man standing.

Sonny: I like your attitude, but attitude can only get you so far. Sooner or later, you’re gonna have to back it up.


Sasha: Get out.

Felty: What are you gonna do, scream for help? Or scream for one of those little pills you were about to swallow before I took your picture?

Sasha: Those pills are for migraines, like the one you gave me when you refused to leave me alone.

Felty: Those capsules are distinctive, and they’re not for migraines. They’re not pillow mints, either.

Sasha: You know what, if you hadn’t chased after me, I wouldn’t —

Felty: You wouldn’t have turned Harmony Miller into roadkill?

Sasha: [ Gasps ] You are disgusting! I hadn’t taken anything.

Felty: Only because I surprised you.

Sasha: [ Scoffs ]

Felty: Okay, listen, beauty. Far be it from me to spoil the Face of Deception. I just want my memory card. Those pictures are my bread and butter.

Sasha: Mine too.

Felty: Well, then, I’ll delete the ones I have of you and the spilled pills. I’ll even forget I ever saw them.

Sasha: [ Laughing ] Okay. I’m supposed to believe you?

Felty: Mm-hmm. Believe this. I have connections. I can get you what you need.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Felty: I just sent you my number. Give me a call, sooner rather than later. It’ll be our little secret.


Gladys: My daughter-in-law is grieving the loss of her baby. The doctor prescribed medication to help her cope.

Valentin: Well, I’m sympathetic. The loss of her child was tragic. Um… but she does have a public history of drug abuse, which was covered on “Good Morning America,” no less. So her with medication would raise red flags. She’s my business partner. She’s the ace of the company, and she’s the brand ambassador, so she represents a huge part of my investment.

Gladys: I couldn’t trust Sasha more if she was my own flesh and blood daughter. Now, if you’ll excuse me.


Jordan: How did you get your hands on your father’s sealed arrest records? You know what? Never mind. I don’t want to force you to tell the truth or compel you to lie. Both are bad.

Curtis: Very interesting. You seem to care more about how I found out about Marshall’s past, but not what I found out.

Jordan: Damn it, Curtis. I care about you.


Nina: Diane, if you would just listen —

Scott: Alright, Nina, Nina, Nina. Quiet, quiet, quiet. Diane, we know that your BFF’s roommate just died under very mysterious circumstances.

Diane: I think you’re talking about Alexis’s houseguest, not roommate, Harmony Miller.

Scott: AKA Willow Tate’s mommy. Now, if they want to really play hardball, we’ll make sure that the judge knows that one of the grandmas is a murderer.

Diane: You knock yourself out, counselor, because you see, Harmony Miller was not biologically related to Wiley, therefore had no standing. Therefore, it’s a nonstarter. I’m actually a little surprised at how fuzzy you are as counselor for the petitioner on this particular legal question at issue. You see, the only reason why your client has any standing to bring a petition at all is because she’s the biological grandmother. And the biological mother, convicted murderer and kidnapper Nelle Benson, is dead. It’s a technicality. It’s a loophole. But my clients are well within their rights to argue against visitation. And if you [Chuckles] care about that little boy the way you say you do, you will drop this claim before the invader article goes national.


Willow: You were with my mother just before she died. Did she tell you why she lied about me being her child?

Harmony: You need to protect her. Nina’s love will smother her. Please, Carly.

[ Monitor alarm beeping ]

Harmony: Please.

Carly: We’ll take care of her. I promise you, Willow will be okay. I promise you that.

Carly: Willow…

Willow: Carly, please. My whole life suddenly just became one big question mark. Did my mom — did Harmony tell you anything?


Dex: I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t ready to prove that you can trust me.

Sonny: Your service is impressive. And I saw what you can do at the gym. But there are other factors that I need to consider.

Dex: If you hire me, you’ll see what I bring.

[ Knock on door ]

Brando: Oh, you’re in a meeting. I’ll wait outside.

Sonny: No, the meeting’s over. Brando, Dex. Dex, Brando. Dex is gonna be at the bar. He’s going to have an espresso. He’s gonna wait.

Dex: Thank you, Mr. Corinthos. I appreciate your time.

Sonny: Close the door.

[ Door closes ]

Sonny: So, what? I heard about the accident. What — how’s Sasha?

Brando: Physically, she’s fine. Emotionally, you know… I mean, she just — she just began to deal with losing Liam, and then — then this happened, man.

Sonny: Must be tough. But you’re helping her cope, right?

Brando: I’m trying. I’m trying. Sasha thinks she needs to be strong for me, but I can’t seem to get through her defenses. That’s why I’m here. I’m hoping — I’m hoping you know what to do.


Sasha: When I said I wanted to meet, I thought it would be at the office. It’s a little early for happy hour. We’re still on the clock. [ Sighs ] You still have it.

Gladys: I was thinking of flushing it down the toilet.

Sasha: Do you even realize, if you would have taken one of these and they’d found it in your system? No. You have been given a second chance. Don’t…blow it.

Sasha: Don’t.

Gladys: Why not?

Sasha: Because the jerk wants it back.

Gladys: [ Scoffs ] I’ll just bet he does. Give me one good reason to say yes.


Jordan: I care about you. But it’s not like I still have feelings for you in that way, like I did when we were married. [ Sighs ] I mean, I do love you, but — [ Sighs ] Feel free to help me out of this hole I’m digging here.

Curtis: I get it. You don’t want me to get so caught up in Marshall’s past that I cross the line.

Jordan: If that happened, I wouldn’t be able to look the other way.

Curtis: I wouldn’t ask you to.

Jordan: As long as we’re clear.

Curtis: We’re clear.

Jordan: Alright, then. Was it worth whatever price you paid to find out what you wanted to know about Marshall?

TJ: Marshall? What about him?


Nina: Diane, I’m only doing this because I care about Wiley. I am not going to allow Wiley’s parents to deprive him of someone who really loves him and who he loves — especially now, because Harmony’s gone.

Scott: Yeah, so let me put it to you simply, okay? If you go ahead with Smoltz’s hatchet job, it is open season on Harmony.

Diane: And make Willow yet another innocent victim of Harmony? Please, by all means, be my guest.

Nina: Oh, Willow Tate is hardly an innocent victim. She refuses to stand up to Michael over and over again. She cut me out of Wiley’s life without batting an eyelash.

Diane: Perhaps your attorney has neglected to tell you this — big surprise — but Michael and Willow are Wiley’s parents, and it is their legal obligation, not to mention their moral and sacred duty, to do what they feel is in the best interest of that child while you, Ms. Reeves, have a documented and provable history of emotional and mental instability. If you would like to avoid further embarrassment, further public humiliation, withdraw that claim.

Nina: Diane, let me make this perfectly clear. If Willow and Michael insist on dragging me through the mud, I’ll return the favor and drag them right along with me.


Willow: There’s something my mother told you before she died, something I should know.

Carly: Willow, I think Dante’s right. There’s a lot of questions that need to be answered.

Dante: First off, I’d like you to take a DNA test. That way, we can rule out any blood relation between you and Harmony.

Michael: That makes sense, but Willow’s already been through the wringer. Can’t that wait for a little bit?

Dante: Well, it can, Michael, but look, if you want answers to these questions, which it seems like you really do, the sooner you take this test, the better.

Willow: Michael’s right. I, um… I need time to digest everything I’ve learned.

Dante: Okay. I guess I’ll check back in tomorrow. I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Carly: I’m going to take off, too. Yeah. Hey.

Michael You gonna be okay?

Carly: Yeah. Yeah. Been a crazy day. Stay strong for Willow.

Michael: Yeah.

Carly: Yeah. You know what? The answers will come when you’re ready. I told Harmony that I would protect you, and I will.

Willow: Protect me from what?


Dex: I recognize Brando from the gym. He’s Mr. Corinthos’… nephew?

Frank: Cousin.

Dex: Mr. Corinthos is famous for his coffee and his loyalty. You’ve got to admire both.

Brando: I’m sorry for imposing. You have enough troubles without my adding to them.

Sonny: No, listen, you can always come to me. Lesson number one — when you’re family, your troubles are my troubles.

Brando: And vice versa.

Sonny: Absolutely.

Brando: What’s lesson number two?

Sonny: If you love someone, don’t wait for them to come to you. Sasha’s in pain. Let her know that you’re not scared, that you’re not looking for a way out.

Brando: I’m there for the good and the bad, just like I said in my marriage vows.

Sonny: Absolutely. Putting her first, you cannot go wrong. I know she’s going to say to you, “Look, I’m okay.” And you got to trust that, you got to respect her. But… if there are any warning signs, do not ignore that.

Brando: I’ll make sure that she knows, if she falls, I will catch her.

Sonny: You do that, you can’t go wrong.


Sasha: The memory card has all the photographer’s photos, not only mine. If we give it back, then maybe he’ll leave us alone.

Gladys: As long as I have this little card in my hand, we’re in the driver’s seat. Oh, pardon the expression.

Sasha: [ Sighs ]

Gladys: You make my son happy, and what makes Brando happy makes me happy. So if there’s something else, something interfering with Brando’s happiness, I will protect you. Which means you can trust me with anything.


Jordan: Hi, my busy doctor son. Mm. As much as I’d love to stay and chat, your uncle has something he wants to talk to you about. When was the last time you slept?

TJ: [ Sighs ]

Jordan: You look tired, baby.

TJ: I was all set to go home, Dr. Westbourne okayed it, and then we got slammed, so I stayed.

Jordan: I admire your dedication. But don’t forget to take care of yourself.

TJ: I know. Dr. Westbourne literally just said the same thing, and Molly’s on board.

Jordan: Okay, well, I need to get back to my own job. I love you, baby.

TJ: I love you. It’s good to see you.

Jordan: Good to see you.

TJ: So, you were saying about Marshall?

Curtis: I ran into your mom by accident, but I wanted to talk to you about your grandfather.

TJ: You saved me a trip. There’s something I want to show you.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Dante: Oh, hey, Jordan. Uh, I just came from seeing Willow Tate.

Jordan: And?

Dante: I tried to break the news to her gently.

Jordan: Did she agree to give you a DNA sample to confirm she’s not Harmony Miller’s biological daughter?

Dante: No. I got some pushback from Michael.

Jordan: I don’t blame them. Willow needs time to grieve. Give her a night to process, see if she and Michael are more open to it tomorrow. In the meantime, I have a more pressing job for you.

Dante: What’s more pressing than proving that Harmony wasn’t Willow’s birth mother?

Jordan: Finding out who was.


Scott: I’m sure it’s not going to come down to mutually assured destruction. Will it, Diane?

Diane: If Nina wants a fight to the bitter end, so be it.

Scott: Hmm.

Diane: I’m going to find a new nail salon.

Nina: Diane, just wait one second. Wiley, he needs all of his family, right? Now more than ever. And I understand that Willow’s whole world has shattered, I do. But don’t punish that little boy because of Willow’s pain.

Diane: Nina, you seem to think that depriving Wiley of your presence would be a punishment. Court may not agree with you.

Scott: Ahh. Don’t let her get to you.

Nina: You’re right. She is a barracuda. But whatever Michael is paying her to drive me out of Wiley’s life, it’s just a waste of his money.

Scott: Okay, so it sounds to me it’s all-out war.

Nina: It’s war. It is.

Scott: Okay. Alright, good. Then you’ve changed your mind.

Nina: About what?

Scott: Sonny. You’ve got to let me put him up on the stand.


Michael: Sounds like Harmony wanted my mom to protect you from the truth about all the lines that she crossed.

Willow: Harmony was probably delirious. Most end-of-life patients are. She couldn’t prevent the truth from coming out. But now that I know she wasn’t my birth mother…

Wiley: Mommy!

Melanie: Someone missed his mommy.

Willow: Not half as much as his mommy missed him.


Valentin: I was hoping that Drew Cain would wait a little longer to take an interest in ELQ. Your girlfriend has promised to vote to support me as CEO, but her vote only counts as a tiebreak, so I am afraid that my days are numbered.

Carly: Bad news?

Valentin: Oh, it’s just business. It’s nothing life-threatening.

Carly: Hmm.

Valentin: I heard about Harmony Miller’s incident. Glad you weren’t harmed.

Carly: Thank you.

Valentin: I imagine Willow Tate is pretty badly shaken.

Carly: Now, why would you care about that?

Valentin: Well, Willow was my daughter’s third grade teacher, and after a rocky start, she was actually pretty good for her.

Carly: That doesn’t surprise me. Willow’s a wonderful person.

Valentin: Yeah, who is now grieving her mother and facing a prolonged court battle with Nina. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Carly: And Nina got to you.

Valentin: Imagine if we could get our priorities straight, Carly. And you could lead the way by making peace with Nina.


Brando: You learn anything more about that attempted robbery at Charlie’s?

Sonny: That’s not your concern. You take care of Sasha. I’ll take care of everything else.


Sasha: Thanks for looking out for me, Gladys. But, um, don’t you think that returning the memory card would be a gesture of good faith? You know, maybe one day, he’ll return the favor. I’ve got to get back to work. So should you.

After I finish my drink.


Curtis; Hey, that’s —

TJ: Marshall’s. I know. This is also from him.

Curtis: [ Sighs ] “I wanted to leave you a gift, but all I have to offer is this gift of music. Like you said about surgery, it’s part of one great, unfinished symphony. Your loving grandfather.”

TJ: Do you know what he means?

Curtis: It means your grandfather left town because of me.


Dante: To find Willow’s birth mother, I need to start with Harmony Miller.

Jordan: Dig up anything you can find on Harmony’s background before she came to Port Charles. Somewhere out there, a mother is missing her daughter.


Nina: No, nothing has changed. Just leave Sonny out of it. But Michael — Michael is fair game.

Scott: Only Michael?

Nina: No. And Willow. Willow also. Because she has the keys to unlocking the door that’s blocking my access to my grandson. What is — what is that saying? When someone looks like they’re too good to be true —

Scott: They’re usually not.

Nina: There must be something about Willow Tate that we can uncover, Scott. And I want you to keep digging until you find it.


Carly: So, what is it about Nina that makes otherwise rational men come to her defense?

Valentin: When does the hurting stop? When do we stop attacking one another and get on with our lives?

Carly: You should ask Nina that question. She kept Sonny from his family for nine months, and then she slept with him. Now she’s petitioning the court to allow her to visit my grandson.

Valentin: Well, he’s her grandson, as well. And from her perspective, you cost her a daughter, so… why don’t we just end this?


Wiley: Why are you crying, mommy? Do you have a boo-boo?

Willow: No, no. They’re — they’re happy tears, sweetie, because I am sitting here with you and Daddy, the two most important men in my life.

Michael: Hey, bud. I think that Annabel II really, really misses you. So why don’t you go back to the house with Melanie, and your Mommy and I will meet you and Annabel there very soon, okay?

Wiley: Promise?

Michael: Promise.

Wiley: Okay.

[ Door closes ]

Willow: Wiley’s lucky. He’s young. Barely knew his grandma Harmony. Whatever pain he might feel about never seeing her again will heal.

Michael: And, um… and yours?

Willow: I don’t know. [ Sniffles ] I just keep asking myself the same question — if Harmony isn’t my birth mother… who is?

On the next “General Hospital” —

TJ (to Curtis): Was it worth losing the one chance you had with your father?

Cameron (to Spencer): I need to know that the hell that I’ve been catching is worth it.

Nina (to Ava): This time it’ll be on my orders.

Valentin (to Carly): Can you really tell me there’s no part of you that feels for me.

Esme: I intend to be happy.

Lani: Oh, my god. Oh, my god, eli, oh, my god. Oh, my god, baby. Eli, can you hear me? Oh, my god. Oh, my god, baby, oh, my god. I prayed and I prayed for you. I prayed and… and you came back to me. Oh, my god, baby. You are here, you are here. Oh, my god.

Ciara: Get out my way, allie.

Allie: Ciara, you’re not thinking straight. Where would you even go?

Ciara: To the docks. I’ll go find those cops and make them take me to ben.

[Gasps]

Allie: What’s wrong? What happened?

Ciara: My water just broke.

Allie: Really?

Ciara: Oh, my god. Oh, damn it, damn it.

Allie: No, no, no, don’t say that, don’t say that.

Ciara: No, allie. Allie, I need ben. I can’t do this without ben.

Allie: Yes, you can.

Ciara: No, I can’T.

Allie: Yes, you can, and you will, okay? But you need to calm down for your baby’s sake. I know you want ben, ciara, but you need to think of your baby. Think about how long you’ve waited.

Demon allie: How long I’ve waited.

Allie: Your baby will be born today, and it’s going to be the happiest day of your life.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Eli: Hey.

Lani: Oh, no, no, shh. Baby, shh, okay.

Eli: Hey.

Lani: Hey, baby. You’re on a ventilator, okay? Don’t talk. Let me get a doctor, okay? I love you so much. I love you.

Paulina: Life and death, huh?

Tr: You know, I’m suddenly aware that we’re in the middle of a busy hospital. You think we can maybe go someplace that’s a little more private? Like my room?

Paulina: Um, no, no, I think we better go back to my place, and then you can ask the question and then leave.

Tr: Whatever you say.

Paulina: That’s right, and don’t you forget it.

Lani: Oh, oh, my god. Oh, my god, my eli is back. Oh, my god, my eli is back. Paulina. Dr. Johnson, eli, he woke up. He’s up, he’s up.

Johnny: Grandma, I don’t think trying to make a connection with allie is really gonna work right now, not the way things are.

Susan: Why not?

Johnny: Oh, I don’t know because she’s the devil.

Susan: No, she’s possessed by the devil, and that’s why I know you can reach her. Oh, honey, you know the real allie better than anyone else in the world. And you need to use your love. You need to use your love to reach out and let her know that, you know, not just for ciara, but for your sister. ‘Cause she’s lost right now, sweetheart, and you need to find her.

Ciara: Okay, allie, I need you to help me get down to the docks. I need to go back to the mainland, I need to be in the hospital with ben telling me how to breathe.

Allie: Okay, sweetheart, ben is dead.

Ciara: No, he’s not, allie. No, he’s not. I told you I can feel him. I need ben, I miss him, I want him. I need ben.

Allie: Okay, okay, ciara, ciara, I know you don’t wanna have your baby here, but the fact is, you do not have a choice in the matter. Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Johnny: You know I would do anything for allie, but I don’t know what to do. I can’t make that thing happen. It just happens.

Susan: But yes you can. Yes, you can, johnny. I’m not saying it’s gonna be easy, but you need to amplify that connection that you have, that bond that you have, and then that maybe we can reach out to her, sweetheart. All right, do you have a phone, a picture of her–

Johnny: The devil has my phone, the devil has my phone.

Ben: Well, maybe ciara has one somewhere.

Susan: Wait, you know what? You know what, you texted me one last year. I have it right here. Okay, all right. Let see where it is, okay. No, no, no. Okay, there it is, I found it. Okay, now, I want you, johnny, to just concentrate on that photo, all right? Get that it your head, sweetheart. Concentrate on that photo, and i want you to remember what was happening, what you both were saying, okay? Like it was happening right now, right in this room, and I want you to see what she sees.

>>Allie: Easy now, easy now.

Ciara: Allie, you have to go down to the docks, and you need to tell the cops to phone for a doctor.

Allie: There’s no time.

Ciara: I can’t do this alone.

Allie: You’re not alone. I’m here, and I’ll help you.

Ciara: I want ben, allie. I need ben to do this with me.

Allie: Sorry, girlfriend, but I’m all you’ve got, okay? But I promise you and your baby are in good hands.

Ciara: Oh, god.

Abe: I’m so sorry to hear about ciara. Has there been any word?

Julie: No, shawn-douglas, the whole salem pd is searching everywhere for her. The devil is still after her baby, and now he’s possessed allie.

Abe: I’m keeping them in my prayers.

Julie: Thank you, thank you so much. Have a seat.

Abe: Thank you. And what about the twins, were they any trouble?

Julie: They’re never any trouble, no, no. We got a little behind in the schedule, so they’re napping now, but I can wake them up if you’re in a hurry.

Abe: No, I’m not in a hurry. Don’t wake them up.

Julie: Okay, would you like some tea, or would you like something stronger?

Abe: I think tea would be great, thank you very much.

Julie: Fine. How are things at the hospital?

Abe: Lani’s hanging in there.

Julie: How about eli?

Abe: I’m sorry, julie. There’s no change.

Tripp: So how you feeling, eli?

Eli: Why am i in the hospital?

[Soft music]

Lani: The thing is, honey, you’ve been in a coma.

Eli: For how long?

Lani: Since march.

Eli: What is it now?

Lani: May.

Eli: Oh, my god. Baby, I’m so sorry.

Lani: No, no, hey, no, eli, don’T. Don’t you worry about me. You were the one who…

Eli: What, what happened?

Lani: You were shot. You don’t remember that?

Eli: No, nothing.

Tripp: No, no, don’t be alarmed by that; that’s completely normal.

Eli: Who shot me?

Lani: Baby, let’s get into that later.

Tripp: Yes, yes, later. I wanna give you a thorough exam first.

Tr: Paulina, I want you to know how much these past few months have meant to me. Getting to know my daughter and my grandchildren has been a true blessing.

Paulina: I am glad to hear that.

Tr: And on top of all that, you were generous enough to let me back into your life. After the way I treated you, I didn’t deserve another chance, but I am so grateful that you gave me one anyway because spending this time together, it’s made me realize that, paulina… you are the love of my life.

And I was hoping that you might do me the honor of becoming my wife. Lemons.

Abe: Well, things did get a little tense between tr and I.

Julie: Hmm.

Abe: He found out that paulina and I recently, well, um, we kissed.

Julie: Wow. A “well, uh” kiss. So does that mean pistols at dawn for you and tr?

Abe: No, no, no, no. Actually paulina kissed me. I pushed her away.

Julie: Oh, of course you did. She’s such a hussy.

Abe: I really love confiding in you, julie.

Julie: Okay, I’ll behave. Tell me, what did tr actually say?

Abe: He told me off for hurting paulina’s feelings.

Julie: He told you off?

Abe: Mm-hmm.

Julie: After everything he has done to her? The nerve of him. I really don’t understand why she has let him back into her life.

Abe: Well, I think things have gone beyond that now. I think there’s something romantic between them.

Julie: Oh, give me a break.

Abe: It just seems like a really bad idea.

Julie: Bad idea, it’s an awful idea–it’s stupid, a stupid idea!

Abe: You disapprove?

Julie: I do, and you do as well, and it’s about time, abraham, that you did something about this.

Abe: And what’s that supposed mean?

Julie: Well, I’m not a fool. Plain as the nose on your face, you still love her. So it’s time you got over yourself, abraham, and won her back.

Paulina: You want to marry me?

Tr: That’s right.

Paulina: Have you lost your damn mind?

Tr: I know this may seem sudden.

Paulina: Sudden? I’ve spent about three decades not knowing or caring where you are, and then you come here on business. Then you happen to bump into me, and the next thing I know it’s, “let’s tie the knot that binds.” To say that it’s too fast, that would be a massive understatement.

Tr: So how about this? Let me take you away for a romantic weekend. Give me a chance to sweep you off your feet.

Paulina: Well, that sounds a lot less radical, but…

Tr: Oh, come on, come on, come on, please. We’re talking about one weekend. What’s the harm in that?

Tripp: Everything seems good.

Lani: I cannot wait to tell everyone, but I don’t wanna leave your side.

Tripp: I can make those calls for you.

Lani: You don’t mind?

Tripp: No, not at all. We have the numbers on file. Take it easy, okay? I’ll be back soon.

Lani: Thank you. You really okay?

Eli: I’m okay.

Lani: Yeah.

Eli: Let’s talk about you. How are you? How are the kids?

Lani: We’re fine, we’re fine. I mean, I wasn’T. I was a mess, but I had so much help. Paulina, julie, my dad, they were all so wonderful with helping with the kids and keeping everything normal for them, and even tr, he pitched in.

Eli: You let tr near our kids, did you?

Lani: Eli, like you said, you missed a lot.

Allie: Keep breathing, right? Keep breathing, ciara.

Ciara: Oh, my god, allie. Oh, that was a bad one.

Allie: Is it over?

Ciara: I don’t know. I think so.

Allie: What are you doing?

Ciara: I have a picture of ben in here somewhere. If he can’t be here, then I want him here somehow.

[Tense music]

Johnny: I can’T. My head is killing me.

Susan: Oh, sweetie, sweetie.

>>Ben: Johnny, please, this is our only chance.

Johnny: I just don’t think it’s gonna work.

Ben: Ciara is alone with her right now. She is alone with the devil, who is after my baby. What if that baby comes early, johnny? Please, johnny.

Susan: I’m gonna do this with you, all right? Now hold my hand, and I want to you to close your eyes right now. And I want you to think, think of a picture of allie in your head, in your heart right now. Just close your eyes, sweetheart. And I want you–what I want you to think about and I want you to get allie to think about, is I want you to get her to think about her son, and how much she loves him, and how much ben and ciara are gonna love their baby. Johnny, I want you to see the first time allie was holding that baby of hers. You see it?

>>Johnny: Allie, allie. Hey, allie, I want you to think about henry. He needs you. You gotta get back to him. I see her. I can see ciara.

From prom dresses

Eli: So what else did I miss? You said the kids are fine, right? Carver, jules they’re okay, right?

Lani: Yes, baby, the kids are fine. My dad is on his way to your grandmother’s to pick them up right now.

>>Eli: Hopefully, you’re not talking about tr; I don’t want that man near our kids.

Lani: Hey, hey, carver and jules were never left alone with tr. But, babe, he did help me with all of this. Paulina and I, we both had our reservations about tr, especially paulina, but even she’s beginning to think that he’s a changed man.

Eli: Hm, I guess I did miss a lot. Last thing I remember is I had the isa check him out.

Lani: Yeah, that’s right.

Eli: There was something else. I called the isa, and I spoke to somebody, somebody that knew him.

Lani: His ex-girlfriend, billie tracked her down.

Eli: Oh, wait. Yeah, that’s right. She came to the station. She wanted to see me in per–what was her name?

Lani: Beth.

Eli: Yeah, beth, the actress.

Lani: Yeah, she lived in la with tr, and she wanted you to know that he was sober the entire time they were together, and he never laid a hand on her. Do you remember that?

Eli: No, I don’T. You sure that’s what she said?

Paulina: I’m telling you, ray, it just doesn’t feel right leaving lani, with eli still in the hospital.

Tr: It looks like he’s gonna be there a while, and I don’t think he’d want you to put your life on hold till he gets out. We’re talking about a couple of days. We don’t have to go far, and we can come right back if anything happens. Paulina, you’ve been running yourself ragged, working, helping lani. Just think of this as some well-earned r and R. You can come back refreshed and ready to help lani again.

Paulina: Well, I have been stretched pretty thin lately, these days. Okay, why not?

Tr: [Laughs] You have no idea how happy you have made me.

Ben: How is ciara? Is she all right?

Ciara: [Gasping]

Johnny: She’s on the floor. Looks like she’s in pain.

Ben: Is she hurt?

Johnny: No, no, I think she’s in labor.

Ben: No, no, no, no, she’s not due for another couple weeks.

Johnny: I think the baby’s on its way.

Ben: Is allie with her?

Johnny: Yeah. Yeah, I think I’m seeing ciara through allie’s eyes.

Susan: Okay, johnny, just keep going, keep talking to her. Come on, come on. You can do this, sweetheart.

Allie: Okay, breathe, just breathe through the pain.

Ciara: Yeah, that’s easy for you to say.

Allie: Just trying to…

Ciara: Allie, is everything okay–is something wrong?

Johnny: Allie, look around the room. Show me where you are.

Allie: Sneaky little bastard.

Ciara: What did you just say?

Allie: Get out. I said get out of here.

Ciara: Allie, what did you just say?

Allie: Sorry, I was talking to the baby.

Susan: Johnny!

Ben: Johnny, what happened?

Johnny: The devil, he figured out what was happening.

Susan: Why, did he block you out?

Johnny: Yeah, it was like a black out or something.

Ben: Look at me. Did you see where they were?

Johnny: I couldn’t see that much, but it looked like they were in some kind of cabin.

Ben: My cabin in mammoth falls.

Johnny: I don’t know, I’ve never been there.

Ben: Well, the devil has. I need to get up there right now.

Susan: What…

[Tense music]

Allie: One more push, ciara, okay? I can see its head. One more big push, one more.

[Baby wailing]

Ciara: He’s here. Is he okay?

Allie: He’s perfect.

Ciara: Will you give me my baby, allie?

Allie: Just perfect.

Ciara: Let me see my baby. Allie, allie, let me have my baby. (Beep)

Abe: [Sighs] All right. Let’s say you’re right. Let’s say hypothetically that I do love paulina.

Julie: Of course I’m right.

Abe: That’s not the problem. The problem is I can’t trust her. She’s lied to me too many times.

Julie: That’s a valid concern; trust is very important, but at this point, what has she got left to lie about? I mean, unless she’s the mastermind behind the great british train robbery, you know everything now, unless of course, I get it.

Abe: Get what?

Julie: Well, I loathe tr personally, but he does have certain charms. He’s a smooth talker. He’s attractive enough. He’s sort of a hollywood player type. Perhaps at your age, you do not care to compete with the new kid in town.

Abe: You are an evil woman, evil.

Julie: Abraham, it’s okay to hang up your cleats, so to speak, to throw in the towel as it were, ’cause after all, everybody knows, love, that’s a young man’s game. More tea?

Paulina: Oh, where’s my phone? I need to call lani, let her know.

Tr: I’ll call her. You go pack.

Paulina: Well, I hope you’re not totally devastated about my turning down your proposal.

Tr: I’ll get by somehow. And get that money somehow. Lani?

Tripp: No, this is dr. Johnson. I’m actually to calling for her. Is her mom there?

Tr: Dr. Johnson, this is lani’s father. Is everything okay?

Tripp: Oh, mr. Coates. Yes, everything’s fine. In fact, I have good news. Eli just woke up.

Lani: What do you mean, am I sure? She told me herself.

Eli: Okay. So the day that I talked to her, that was the day I got shot? How did it happen?

Lani: Hey, we don’t have to do this right now.

Eli: No, no, baby, I wanna know. What happened?

Lani: Well, what we know is that you left beth at the station. She said that you told her you would be right back, but you didn’t say where you were going or why, and somehow you ended up at the park. The drug dealer was already there, and somehow he ended up shooting you.

Eli: Why?

Lani: We don’t know. Shawn and I, we were first on the scene. The drug dealer had already od’d, and his name was frank. There was a needle by his body, and your gun was in his hand, and I just… I just really thought that I was gonna lose you.

[Soft music]

Johnny: I’m gonna try again. I’ve gotta get to allie.

Susan: You will, sweetheart. You will. You can do this, honey, okay?

[Baby wailing]

Johnny: Ciara had the baby. Allie’s holding him.

Susan: Oh, sweet jesus, please help them. Oh, please.

Johnny: Allie, it’s me. Listen to me, you have to fight. Don’t let the devil hurt ciara or the baby.

Allie: I said, get out!

Ciara: Allie, what’s going on?

[Tense music]

Allie: Everything is fine. Or it will be soon.

Susan: Oh johnny, johnny.

Johnny: I don’t know what he just did, but I don’t think we’re gonna get back in.

Susan: Okay, all right, you tried, that’s all that counts. You tried, sweetheart.

Johnny: I did better than try. Grandma, allie heard me. She told me where they were. She was looking at a ferry ticket to smith island. They’re not at ben’s cabin. They’re at the horton cabin. Oh, my god. Grandma, ben went to the wrong cabin.

Ciara: Allie, allie, let me see him.

Allie: Welcome to the world, baby boy.

Ciara: Give me my baby. Allie, did you hear me? I said, give me my baby. Give me my baby!

Allie: No, ciara. This is my baby. This is the sound of nature breathing.

Julie: And may I say one more thing?

Abe: Can anything stop you?

Julie: No, of course not. When you were shot, and we were waiting outside surgery for you to come out of that experience, I was with paulina. She would’ve done anything on earth to keep you safe. She loves you, abraham. She loves you fiercely. Do you really want to let a woman who loves you like that slip away?

Abe: No, no. No, I don’t want to lose her.

Julie: Then tell her you want her back.

Abe: I will, I will.

Julie: Good. Well, go.

Abe: Oh, I’m here to pick up the kids.

Julie: The twins are fine. You go to paulina now.

>>Abe: All right, well, you definitely have told me it’s time for me to get over myself.

Julie: What are friends for?

Abe: Oh, thank you for the tea.

[Soft music]

Tr: Eli is awake?

Tripp: And we have every reason to believe he’ll make a complete recovery.

Tr: Has he said anything about what happened to him?

Tripp: No, no, he doesn’t seem to remember what happened before the shooting. That is normal with trauma like his.

Tr: I see.

Tripp: But it is possible that his memory will come back. We just have to wait and see.

Tr: Well, thank you for the good news. I’ll tell paulina right away. Damn.

Paulina: Did you speak to lani?

Tr: I just got off the phone with her, and she said, she thinks it’s a great idea for us to get away for a few days, and she wants you to have the time of your life.

Lani: Shawn tried to revive the dealer, but it was too late. So we had no way of knowing what exactly went down.

Eli: Do you have a picture of frank?

Lani: Yeah. There, that’s him.

Eli: He doesn’t look familiar.

Lani: And you don’t remember why you went to the park?

Eli: No. You’re under arrest.

[Tense music]

Lani: Eli, hey, what is it?

Eli: It’s starting to come back to me.

Susan: Ah, shoot. It went straight to voicemail.

Johnny: Yeah, I don’t think there’s any service up there.

[Phone line trilling]

[Phone beeps]

Susan: Oh, hey ben. It’s susan, all right. You went to the wrong cabin. It’s the horton cabin on smith island. That is the horton cabin. Oh, please god, let him get this message. Oh.

Ciara: Your baby? Allie, is this some kind of a sick joke? Just give me my baby.

Allie: Sorry, ciara, but I have other plans for him.

Ciara: What are you talking about? Allie, give me my son. Damn it, allie, do you hear me? Give him to me.

Demon allie: Sorry. I’m not allie. Honestly, I thought I was getting my floors cleaned.

Ciara: No, no.

Demon allie: Surprise.

Ciara: No, no, it can’t be. It can’t be. We thought you were in johnny.

Demon allie: In my business, you need to learn how to pivot. Taking on this particular corporeal identity was a spur of the moment kind of thing, but like everything I do, it was inspired. Like “call the satanic midwife.”

Ciara: Please, please don’t do this. Please don’t do this. He’s just an innocent little baby, please.

Demon allie: Not for long. See, no one can stop me now.

Allie: No, I won’t let you do this.

Lani: What do you remember?

Eli: I was struggling with the gun.

Lani: With frank?

Eli: Maybe. All I know is I’m keeping you away from my family.

Tr: You can’t keep me away from your wife and my grandchildren.

Eli: Watch me. You’re under arrest. Oh, my god.

Lani: What? What is it?

Tr: Ah!

Eli: Baby, it wasn’t frank who shot me. It was tr.

Tr: Paulina, let’s go.

Paulina: Ray, hold your horses. I haven’t even finished packing yet.

Tr: It’s just a weekend. You don’t need a lot of clothes where you’re going.

[Knock at door]

[Sighs] What now?

[Tense music]

Johnny: Rafe, it’s johnny. We figured out where allie took ciara. They’re at the horton cabin, and, rafe, ciara’s had her baby. You’ve gotta get there right away.

Ciara: Ben, oh, my god, ben.

Ben: Oh, my god, you’re okay. Baby, you’re okay, you’re okay. Thank god you’re okay. Oh, my god, oh, my god. I’m almost went to the wrong place and–never mind, never mind, never mind, never mind. Never mind. Where’s allie?

Ciara: Ben, she’s gone. And that wasn’t allie. Ben, that was the devil, and he took our baby. He took my baby.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: Do not take another step, sheila. Not one more. If you think you’re walking out of here, think again.

Zende: Why are you joking around? If you don’t wanna tell me who this other guy is, you don’t have to, but I would hope, by now you’d be comfortable enough with me to–

Paris: Zende. It’s not a joke.

Zende: What? Y– you’re serious? You have feelings for carter?

Carter: Look, quinn, I don’t know why I got caught up with paris.

Quinn: Well, it’s not too hard to figure out. I mean, she’S… cute. And likable enough, to most people.

Carter: [ Laughing ] Okay. I just feel bad for going down that path with her. It’s never fun telling someone it’s over, especially when they don’t want to hear it.

Quinn: Look, I understand why paris is having such a hard time getting over you. I’m just glad that the feeling isn’t mutual.

Zende: Whoa, this is like, uh… okay, when you told me that I knew the guy, I wasn’t expecting carter.

Paris: I– I wasn’t expecting it either. Especially because i really enjoyed dating you. Of course I did. You’re a great guy. But… yeah. I’ve developed feelings for carter.

Zende: When? Have you been seeing carter this entire time?

Quinn: I realize paris probably has a lot of fine qualities, and maybe in another life she would have been your perfect match. But in this one, when you’ve almost lost everything because you were involved with me, not to mention she’s involved with a forrester, which is already a big deterrent.

Carter: Yeah. Yeah, that’s one of the many cons outweighing the pros.

Quinn: Mm hm, exactly. Wait, there are pros? I’m just saying… there’s a better match out there for you. Much better than paris.

Sheila: The– the last thing that I want to do is upset you, especially… while you’re still trying to heal.

Steffy: Yet you decided to show up uninvited.

Sheila: I did and that was my mistake. But why are you telling me I can’t go? Is that what you want to tell me? You– you want me to know?

Sheila: Because I– I swear I’m not going to do anything that-

Steffy: Yes, that–that’s exactly it, that is exactly it. I’m not letting you waltz on out of here thinking it’s no big deal to just show up any time you want. It is a big deal. A very big deal. And I’m not having it.

Sheila: Understood. And I apologize. I guess I was just hoping, knowing that we both lost finn and that you’re in as much pain as I am, I- I really just want to hold my grandson. I want to bond with him. And you know what? Like it or not, steffy, we are always going to be connected because of finn and hayes.

Steffy: You can go.

Sheila: I am sorry. And don’t even think about me, steffy. Please, don’t think about me at all.

[ Taylor sighing ]

Taylor: Honey, I shouldn’t— I shouldn’t have let her in. I am so sorry. Are you okay?

Steffy: I mean, am I ever okay when sheila is around?

Taylor: No.

Ridge: Hey. So, I’m in the guest house… what? What’s goingon?

Taylor: Sheila was here. She just left.

Ridge: Sheila was here?

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Why? What’d she want? Are you one of the millions of americans

Zende: I don’t mean to put you on the spot, but this seems really weird to me. I mean, I have been completely upfront with you about all the dates I’ve been on. To think that you could have been hiding something like this from me, it’s–

Paris: That’s why… that’s why I’m telling you now. Because it’s not like carter and I have been dating. But I’d like to.

Zende: Ah, so, you should.

Paris: Yeah?

Zende: Yeah. I want you to be happy, paris. You know, I wish you could be with me, but if you think your happiness is elsewhere, then you’ve got to give it a shot.

Zende: Go ahead. Go where your heart is telling you to go. Even if it leads you to carter.

Carter: Okay, quinn. I know you have your reasons for keeping your guard up with paris.

Quinn: Legitimate reasons. I still can’t believe that you can get past what paris did and want to be involved with her. Oh, wait, not to mention that, huh, she is zoe’s sister.

Carter: I know. No, and… look, I can’t describe how it happened, okay? I just went with it and it felt good to have a woman look at me like that again. But I also know that it couldn’t go anywhere, so whatever happened between me and paris, it’s over.

[ Sighing ]

Quinn: Wise choice. Look, there are a lot of beautiful, intelligent women out there who come with a lot less baggage into a relationship than paris does.-Don’t worry, you will find the one.

Ridge: Sheila knows she’s still not welcome here, right?

Steffy: No, she isn’T.

Taylor: Well, if she didn’t know before, she knows now.

Ridge: Good. Hey, I know you’re feeling sympathetic towards her and I get it. Her son’s gone. But that doesn’t mean she can show up here whenever she wants.

Taylor: No, I know. I agree. I do. I– it was a mistake for her to come here–

Ridge: It was a mistake.

Taylor: Hey. Sweetheart, where’d you go?

Steffy: What?

Taylor: Honey, what is it?

Ridge: You know what it is. Sheila was just here.

Taylor: No, but sheila just left. What…

Steffy: No. No, it’s not just that.

[ Eerie whooshing ]

Steffy: I never feel good when sheila’s around, but this…

[ Eerie buzzing ]

Steffy: Something’s wrong.

Steffy: Something’s very wrong.

Deacon: Ah, you must be coming from steffy’S. How’d that work out for you?

Sheila: All right, you know what? Enough out of you. Things didn’t go quite as planned.

Deacon: Planned? Hah! You did not have a plan– just show up at steffy’s unannounced-

Sheila: All right, fine. You know what? It was a bad idea. A very bad idea. And way too risky.

Deacon: Risky? What– what do you mean, risky? If you’re washing with the bargain brand,

Quinn: I have an idea. It’s unconventional, but hear me out.

Carter: Okay.

Quinn: Okay. What if, just if, you expand your dating pool outside of forrester creations.

[ Laughing ]

Carter: Mind blown.

Quinn: What?

[ Exploding noise ]

Carter: No. No, no.

Quinn: No? It works.

Carter: Because all the awkwardness and anxiety of a workplace romance would go away, and I’ve grown quite addicted to it.

Quinn: You are an addict.

Carter: I am.

Quinn: Like a junkie.

Carter: I need help!

Quinn: You need to go to drama rehab. We need to get you into one. We’ll find you a space.

Paris: Am I interrupting?

Carter: No, no. We were just sharing a much-needed laugh.

Paris: That– that’s always a good thing.

Quinn: Yeah. Well, I need to get back to frowning because I have a reputation to uphold.

[ Quinn humming softly ]

Carter: So, what’s up?

Paris: Well, I did something that you should know about.

Carter: Okay.

Paris: Something that I should have done from the very beginning, from the moment we started seeing each other.

Carter: Paris.

Paris: Zende knows now. I told him about us.

Sheila: You know what I mean by risky. You said it was a bad idea, that I shouldn’t delude myself.

Deacon: And what do you know? I was right. Yet again. Hey, you look freaked out. I mean, more than you usually do. What’s going on? Come on.

Sheila: All I wanted was a chance. An opportunity to be a mother to finn. Steffy refused, and now he’s gone. He’s gone. I’m never going to see my son again. And that’s all steffy’s fault.

Steffy: I think I need to sit down.

Ridge: Come on. Here. Should I call bridget? Are you in pain? What’s going on?

Steffy: No. No, no, it’s not that.

[ Eerie whooshing ]

Steffy: I have this feeling of dread, and I can’T…

[ Eerie buzzing ]

Steffy: I don’t understand what I’m seeing.

Ridge: What are you– what are you saying? That you’re seeing something? You’re seeing someone?

Steffy: See il giardino. In the alley.

[ Eerie whooshing ]

Steffy: I can see finn.

Taylor: Okay. Breathe, baby, breathe.

Ridge: What else? Who do you see? Whatever gives you life

Carter: You told zende about us?

Paris: Okay, not everything.

Carter: What does that even mean, paris?

Paris: I was feeling guilty, okay? About keeping things from him. I just… I couldn’t take it anymore. When he asked me to be honest, if there was someone in my life, I felt like I owed him the truth. Or at least, partially the truth. But don’t freak out. I didn’t throw you under the bus, I just told him that I was interested in you and that I think it’s worth exploring. But this is a good thing! Now we don’t have to hide our relationship–

Carter: Paris. We’re friends, okay, paris? We’re just friends. That’s our relationship. Anything beyond that is over.

Paris: You’ve known me long enough to know that when I set my sights on something–

Carter: Paris, it’s-it’s not happening for us.

Paris: Why is that?

Carter: I told you.

Paris: You told me excuses about zende, excuses about my mom. But I think I know the real reason. You’re still hung up on quinn.

Deacon: What is going on with you? Steffy was a victim, too. None of this was her fault. What? Do– do you think somehow she could have saved finn?

Sheila: No. Just don’t pay attention to me, okay? Because I’m hurting.

Deacon: I understand.

Sheila: No. No. I don’t think you could possibly. I just think it’s time.

Deacon: Time?

Sheila: I can’t be here.

Deacon: Sheila, I’m not going to let you hurt yourself, if that’s what you’re thinking of doing–

Sheila: I can’t be in L.A. I came here because of finn. And now he’s gone, and steffy won’t let me have anything to do with hayes. So, there’s nothing left for me here.

Sheila: I have to go. I just have to go.

Steffy: I… I can picture the alley. And there was a– there was a– there was a dumpster.

Ridge: And there was you and finn. Anyone else? Other people?

Steffy: Finn.

[ Eerie whooshing ]

Steffy: Oh, finn. I can see finn.

Taylor: It’s okay, baby. We’re right here. Tell us what you see.

Steffy: I see a door. A door… a– bah– a– a back door. And then he came toward me, but we didn’t come together.

Ridge: You– you didn’t? What are you…

Steffy: No, no, I went… I went alone.

Ridge: To– to the alley?

Steffy: No, to the– to the restaurant.

Steffy: The whole drive over

here I was thinking about what

I wanted to say to you.

Steffy: I went there to see someone. No. No, no. No, I went there to… to confront them. It was… I was– I was angry.

Steffy: I know what you did.

Taylor: Okay, do you know… do you know what you were angry about?

Steffy: No. Someone…

[ Groaning ] Someone… someone did something. And it’s why I went there. I was– I was upset, so I tried to…

[ Eerie ringing ]

Steffy: I tried to stop– no. I followed them, I followed them, I followed… to the alley, and I– I grabbed them. I grabbed them and I…

Steffy: Everyone is going

to know what you did.

Everyone.

And you will never have

a place in our lives.

Not ever.

[ Gasping ] Oh, my god.

Taylor: It’s okay, baby. Breathe. Breathe. We are right here.

Steffy: You don’t

have a relationship.

Not with finn, not with hayes.

You’re never going

to see them again.

Steffy: Oh, my god. [ Gasping ]

Ridge: You know who did this? You know who did this to you and finn?

[ Gasping ]

[ Heartbeat intensifying ]

Nick: Hey. Do you want some breakfast?

Sharon: Um, I’m really not all that hungry.

Nick: Well, it’s too late, i already started my famous chocolate chip pancakes. I know you can’t resist those.

Noah: Hey!

Mariah: Hi. Sorry.

Noah: [ Sighs ]

Mariah: How is — how’s mom doing this morning?

Noah: She was still in bed when I left the house. Dad had just gotten there, though, to make her some breakfast. Who knows if she’s actually gonna eat anything, though.

Mariah: Well, did she at least have dinner last night?

Noah: I tried to get her to have something, but I didn’t have much luck. I ran into faith this morning before she went to school, and she, uh — she said she could hear her restlessly wandering around the house again last night.

Mariah: Well, I’m not surprised that she isn’t sleeping, considering everything she’s been through. And this has been hard on all of us, but I guess if — if anyone can get her to eat, it’s nick.

Noah: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, dad has his charms. What are you working on?

Mariah: Oh, I am working on a playlist for the wedding. And you think it would be easy, but it’s actually incredibly difficult. There’s just so many songs that we love.

Noah: Sounds like you could use some help. Should hit up mom to work on it with you. She could use the distraction.

Mariah: I — I doubt that’ll work, but I’ll think about it.

Tessa: Hi. Are you guys ready for some good news?

Mariah: Uh, are we ever.

Tessa: So I just got a call from my sister, and crystal can come to the wedding.

Ashland: Is it okay if I ask you how you’re feeling today?

Victoria: Stronger every day.

[ Sighs ] You know, the human capacity for resilience is nothing short of astounding. You think you’re not gonna make it through something, and then here you are, pouring milk into coffee like nothing ever happened.

Ashland: Well, I know I’m just one of many things that you’re recovering from…the person that hurt you so much. But your fortitude played a large part in my falling in love with you in the first place. I’m just sorry that I’m the reason you have to rely on it so much now. Yeah, don’t — don’t worry about it. I’m actually recovering quite nicely.

Victoria: Oh, yes, I know. You have a knack for miraculous recoveries. What are you still doing here anyway? Don’t tell me you’re planning on staying in town and please don’t tell me you’re harboring some delusion that I’m gonna forgive you.

Ashland: It’s hard for me to let go of that. Almost as hard as pretending the love I still feel for you doesn’t exist.

[ Sighs ] How am I supposed to let that go, huh?

Chloe: [ Sighs ]

Chelsea: Sorry I’m late. I —

[ Sighs ] I was up half the night. Eventually, I drifted off, and then I slept through my alarm. Thank you for getting me my coffee.

Chloe: Yeah, just as requested — an extra shot of espresso.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Boy, did I need this. It’s the only way to get through the day, considering everything we have on our agenda.

[ Sighs ]

Chloe: This is about rey, isn’t it? His death is clearly hitting you harder than you want to admit.

Mariah: Crystal’s coming to the wedding?

Tessa: Isn’t it exciting?

Mariah: Yeah, I mean, I know how much you want your sister to be there, but you’re the one who helped her flee to canada in the first place. I thought you didn’t want her to take the risk.

Tessa: All the charges against crystal have been dropped. And zack’s last known associate in the sex-trafficking ring has been locked up and arrested. Crystal can come and go as she pleases. We don’t have to worry anymore.

Mariah: Is this for real? How did this even happen?

Tessa: Well, not only is crystal safe now, but the way it happened is even more amazing. Want more restful sleep?

Victoria: I’m sure you’ll be able to find a way to let go. It’s what you do best. You’re — you’re the master of reinvention. And now, thanks to my father, you have a tidy little sum of cash so you can facilitate your latest do-over.

Ashland: I don’t have the will or the strength to reinvent myself again.

Victoria: Just stop. Stop. Stop making this so hard on both of us. If you really loved me, then just take your blood money and — and leave town.

Adam: Hey, I can see why you’re making a speedy exit. But we need to talk. Can we meet back at the office?

Victoria: I’m sorry, I don’t have time in my schedule today.

Adam: Okay, surely you can spare a few minutes for me, so just let me know when.

Victoria: If this is about newman, I’ve already made up my mind. I’m appointing my mother as co-ceo and there’s nothing that you can say to change that.

Adam: Really? We can’t even have a conversation about this?

Victoria: I think it would be a waste of time for both of us.

Adam: Well, I wonder what our dad would have to say about this decision.

Victoria: Does it matter what our dad has to say? It’s my decision to make, period.

Chelsea: Of course rey’s death is affecting me. We’ve already discussed this. He had become one of my very close friends.

Chloe: I understand that. I just — I think you need to pull yourself together. Not just for your sake, but for connor’S.

Chelsea: Well, that’s what has me so worried. My son still feels guilt about what happened. And adam and I, we’ve been trying to convince him, you know, “this accident was not your fault, connor.” Rey — I mean, his heart stopped. It would’ve happened no matter where he was.

Chloe: I know. It’s so sad. Nothing would’ve changed the outcome.

Chelsea: You know, in a little boy’s mind, it’s too hard to grasp all that. I think — I think he’s having trouble isolating the guilt he feels from the grief.

Chloe: Oh, poor connor.

Chelsea: I know. I mean, it doesn’t seem rational, but in his mind, you know, all of those events will forever be connected.

Chloe: So how is it affecting his behavior?

Chelsea: Well, he’s not playing hockey anymore. And he used to love it. I think he feels like he doesn’t deserve to play anymore.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] You know, my heart really goes out to the little guy. Kids’ feelings can get so confusing, but maybe this is just him figuring out how to deal with the grieving process.

Chelsea: [ Sighing ] Yeah. I asked noah if he would take him to play at the local rink, you know, try to connect him to the fun again, you know? Remind him rey — rey would want him to play again. He would want him to enjoy the game as a way to — to honor their friendship.

Chloe: Yeah, I think that’s a great idea, and maybe he can figure out how to deal with his own guilt. But how are you dealing with your guilt? Your own sense of loss? I know that you and rey were friends, but your reaction just seems much deeper than that. I mean, how close had you and rey grown before he died?

Nick: You know you’re not fooling me, right? You barely touched your food. You just kind of moved it around the plate. So I’ll make you a deal. If you have just a few more bites, then I’ll clean up that giant mess I made in the kitchen myself.

Sharon: Nick, you don’t have to treat me like I’m one of the kids.

Mariah: Hey. Hi, mom.

Sharon: Hey, you guys. What are the three of you doing here all together? Um, you have strange looks on your faces. Is something wrong?

Noah: No, it’s nothing bad, mom, trust me.

Tessa: No, it’s actually the opposite. I have wonderful news.

Sharon: Well, we could certainly use some of that.

Tessa: Crystal can be the maid of honor at our wedding. She no longer has to worry about the charges against her because they were dropped.

Sharon: Wow, that is fantastic. I mean, that’s great for your sakes and for crystal’S. And what timing. But how?

Tessa: Well, that’s the thing that makes this entire thing a miracle. It was rey. He was instrumental in making it happen. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Sharon: Wait, what do you mean? How was rey involved?

Tessa: Well, according to crystal, he found her case when he was going through cold case files, and then he went to michael and he convinced him that there wasn’t enough evidence for a conviction. And then michael went to the da and got him to drop the charges.

Sharon: That’s amazing. But what about that dangerous group that zack was involved in? Might they still be a threat?

Tessa: That’s the best part. Rey found him and got him arrested, so he’s no threat to crystal and she’s in no danger.

Noah: Did you know rey was working on this, mom?

Mariah: I can tell by your expression that he — he didn’t tell you.

Sharon: No. He didn’T. I had no idea.

Tessa: Maybe he wanted it to be a surprise.

Nick: Or maybe he didn’t say anything ’cause he didn’t want to get everyone’s hopes up in case it didn’t work out.

Sharon: Yeah, that sounds like rey. He was always very protective and cautious about other people’s feelings.

Tessa: But it did work. And now crystal can come out of hiding and be my maid of honor.

Sharon: Even now, rey is here, helping. Looking out for us and protecting us. Tessa, I’m so happy for you. And rey’s last gesture just proves even more profoundly what an amazing man he was.

Ashland: Guess victoria shot us both down, huh? I mean, we — we look a little pathetic, don’t you think? A couple of lap dogs hoping victoria will throw us a bone, give us what we think we deserve.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] I really don’t know what you are talking about.

Ashland: Yeah? I’m just assuming that you think you still deserve to be co-ceo or temporary ceo of newman/locke or whatever fake title it is you — you’re willing to grovel for. But from what I just witnessed, victoria doesn’t seem to be giving you the time of day.

Adam: And clearly you are out of the loop on the latest at your former company. The name locke has been jettisoned, much like you’ve been. It’s all newman now.

Ashland: Well, not all newman. You seem to be having a little trouble holding onto your piece of the pie. Now, I may be out contractually, but I think I know victoria well enough to know that she is not going to let you retain any title or power in her company.

Adam: Aww, apparently, you don’t realize how out of the loop you are. Have you heard who she is replacing you with as new co-ceo?

Ashland: Oh, she’s found someone already.

Adam: Yes. Nikki. So looks like we both got screwed out of that coveted title. But at least I’m still head of the newly expanded newman media, which includes one of your other former companies. Whereas you just have my father’s money to keep you warm.

Nikki: Hello.

Victoria: Do you know anything about this?

Nikki: Your father commissioned it and put a rush on it.

Victoria: Really?

Nikki: Really. We understand why you destroyed the one that ashland had made for you, but we felt that it needed to be replaced. And, darling, he may have broken your heart, but he certainly hasn’t destroyed your spirit or your strength of leadership. And that is exactly what that portrait represents.

Chelsea: Rey and I were just friends. I haven’t tried to hide that, so whatever you’re trying to insinuate is wrong. I mean, of course this affects me deeply. Of course it’s painful. Are you trying to tell me that I’m wrong for feeling that way?

Chloe: No, no, not — not at all. Look, I am — I am not suspicious or judging you in any way. I am just trying to understand your very deep response to all of this. I didn’t realize that you and rey were that close.

Chelsea: Rey was supportive and open-hearted, during a time where he should have hated me. He accompanied me and connor to my mom’s house after I got out of the hospital. When — when I got back to genoa city, he would seek me out just to check in on me. We had deep conversations that encouraged me, inspired me. He bonded with connor. He convinced me that I could turn my life around, that things were gonna get better. He told me I was a good mom, even after all the terrible things I did. Rey…he, um — he gave me hope that I would be accepted again.

Chloe: You should hold on to that.

Chelsea: How can I? His heart attack, this car crash, this one horrible night, this one horrible moment, it just — it rips all of that hope away.

Chloe: I know that — that you keep telling yourself that it was just friendship, but i know you too well. You were falling in love with rey, weren’t you? Life… doesn’t stop for diabetes.

Sharon: Everybody, sit down. Take a seat. I’m really glad that you’re all here because this news about crystal, it just makes something that I’ve been mulling over even more relevant, but I would need all of your help to pull it off.

Nick: Well, we are here for whatever you need.

Noah: Yeah, just name it.

Sharon: Well, I want to hold a memorial service here in genoa city for rey.

Mariah: Yeah, I mean, we can certainly pull something together.

Noah: Yeah, I can work on invitations.

Sharon: Well, I don’t think we’d need anything that formal. I was thinking of just doing something kind of small.

Nick: Sure. When?

Sharon: Well, I would like to do it before I accompany rey to miami.

Mariah: Isn’t — isn’t that tomorrow?

Sharon: That’s why I was hesitant to ask. I’d like to do it today.

Nick: Are you sure you don’t want to wait until after the service in miami?

Sharon: It’s why I couldn’t sleep last night. I was thinking about it the whole time, and don’t get me wrong, I totally understand celeste’s request to bring rey home and I’m absolutely fine with honoring that. But don’t you think that rey’s family here in genoa city should pull together and pay tribute to him as well? Before I have to bring him to his other home? Before I have to bury my husband?

Noah: Mom, are you sure you’re up for this right now?

Sharon: I want to say goodbye in my own way with rey’s friends and family here. I know it’s a lot to ask, but i hope we can pull it off today.

Nick: Absolutely. I think this’ll be good for you and for all of us.

Chelsea: I wasn’t in love with rey. Why would you even think that? He was quite happily married to sharon. In fact, it was his loyalty and dedication that made him such a trustworthy and safe friend.

Chloe: I said “falling in love.” I meant feelings, not actions, and I wasn’t accusing you of anything.

Chelsea: Well, it feels like you’re reading into the motives behind my grief, and quite frankly, I don’t want to talk about this anymore.

Chloe: Okay, okay, let’s — let’s change the subject. This was supposed to be a breakfast meeting anyway.

Chelsea: Yeah, and we need to work on these projections if we’re gonna show them to lauren.

[ Sighs ] I mean, the good thing about me not getting any sleep is I was able to come up with a few more sketches. So what do you think about this?

Chloe: Yeah, that’s — that’s different. Love the neckline.

Victoria: The portrait is — it’s lovely, mom, but I’m surprised that dad would do something like this for me after he was so determined to shove adam down my throat as co-ceo. Basically saying that he had lost confidence in me after what happened with ashland.

Nikki: That is not true. Actually, he has accepted the idea of my taking the position.

Victoria: Really?

Nikki: Yes. I mean, he’s still disappointed that the antagonism between you and adam still exists, but he made it very clear that he would support your decision.

Victoria: I — I didn’t expect that. I made it perfectly clear to adam that it was my decision to make, but [Exhales sharply] I expected some kind of pushback.

Nikki: Darling, you have been through so much lately. Your father wanting you to bring in a co-ceo has nothing to do with a lack of confidence. It has to do with giving you the time and space to heal from everything that has happened. Believe me, your father has not lost faith in you at all.

Ashland: I stand by my original comparison. Victoria rejected us both.

Adam: Don’t try to compare us. You broke her spirit.

Ashland: By signing a deal you brought to me behind her back.

Adam: Look, you are never gonna cleanse your actions in her mind and her heart. So you should just give up trying.

Nick: What the hell?

Sharon: Is there a problem?

Nick: Uh, I just got a text from ashland. I can’t imagine why he would want to see me, and I’m not particularly interested in finding out.

Sharon: Well, maybe you should find out, at least for victoria’s sake.

Nick: No, planning rey’s memorial is far more important than anything this guy has to say. Plus, I don’t even know why he’s still in town or why he would reach out to anyone in the newman family.

Sharon: I think you should find out what he wants. And I’d rather you just go and get it over with so that you can come back here and be with us and you won’t have this question gnawing at you.

Tessa: We got this. We can get it all organized.

Sharon: You were such a big help to me this morning, and i have the kids here with me now. I’m fine. Nope

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Chloe: Okay, I’ll put these numbers together and the projected schedule for a meeting with lauren.

Chelsea: Look at him. Alive and well while a good man like rey is gone.

Chloe: You cannot blame him and victoria for what happened that night.

Chelsea: But I can’t help but wonder — did he even try to go back for rey? You know, the news reports make him sound like a hero for pulling victoria from the burning car. Did he even try to help rey? Maybe he could’ve done cpr. Maybe he could’ve saved his life.

Chloe: Stop it, chelsea. Stop it. You are fixating on what happened that night.

Chelsea: You’re making it sound like I’m obsessing over this.

Ashland: Hello, nick. Thank you for getting here so quickly.

Nick: Well, I’m here in case there’s anything else I need to do to protect my sister or family from you.

Ashland: You really expect the worst of me, don’t you?

Nick: Actually, I think I’d prefer it if you dealt with me from now on instead of upsetting my sister more than you already have.

Ashland: Well, I can assure you there’s no reason for you to be so defensive. What I have to offer is of great importance and benefit to you, no strings attached.

Chloe: Relax, chelsea. I wasn’t trying to diagnose your behavior, but I — I do recognize the warning signs of when you’re starting to go over the edge.

Chelsea: You think I’m losing it?

Chloe: Everything that you’re experiencing is completely natural, considering how overtired you are and — and the grief that you’re having. Look, I’m just simply trying to point it out and interrupt the unhealthy cycle of blame before it goes any further.

Chelsea: You’re right. You’re right. I’ve been functioning on way too little sleep lately.

[ Sighs ] I think, if you don’t mind, i might go back to my room and try to get some rest. I want to be at my best when we present to lauren later.

Chloe: I think that’s a really good idea.

Chelsea: Okay.

Ashland: I would like to make a donation to new hope. One half of the money I received from your father from the agreement. You can use it to build houses or help centers. Whatever else you think the community needs.

Nick: So you are offering me $250 million with no strings attached. Can you understand why that would be difficult to believe?

Ashland: It is a real offer for a real donation.

Nick: You think this buys you some kind of absolution? You can go straight to hell. New hope doesn’t need your blood money.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] Are you really so stubborn, so proud that you would turn your back on a quarter of a billion dollars? Just think about all the good that new hope can do with that kind of money. I am offering it to you and asking nothing in return. Only one caveat.

Nick: Here we go.

Ashland: I would ask that all the work be done in the name of detective rey rosales. I’m ready to transfer the money to the new hope account right now. You just give me the word.

It’s the most wonderful

time of the year

Nick: You don’t know me. I don’t respond well to bribery and I certainly don’t like dealing with people like you.

Ashland: You shouldn’t say no out of animosity toward me. At the very least, think about the offer.

Nick: See, whether you admit it or not, you’re hoping for some kind of redemption out of this, and I just don’t think the trade-off is worth the risk.

Ashland: So you would prioritize your hatred of me over the needs of your own organization?

Nick: [ Sighs ] You’re good. See, you know that if I turn this down, this community of need badly misses out, but if i accept it, then I’m complicit in your attempts to absolve yourself. It’s clever.

Ashland: Again, think about it.

Mariah: Thanks.

Sharon: The church is available to host a small service this afternoon.

Mariah: That’s perfect, and it even gives us time to get some refreshments, you know, to have here afterward.

Tessa: Yeah, mariah and I can take care of that.

Sharon: Um, I need to let faith know. I don’t want her to be thrown when she comes home from school.

Noah: I already texted her. She thinks it’s a great idea.

Sharon: And I think we should let chance and abby know.

Mariah: I can make up a simple program, so what kind of service do you think you want to have?

Sharon: Um…well, I’ve been thinking about what rey would want. Just something casual and loving, celebrating his wonderful life. Nothing formal or sad, just quietly joyful and, you know, that was the kind of man he was, after all. I want to do something that captures his spirit.

Mariah: We can absolutely make that happen.

Sharon: Tessa, would you sing one of rey’s favorite songs?

Tessa: I would be delighted.

Noah: And I could put together some family photos for a slide show.

Sharon: Yes, that would be lovely.

Mariah: And, mom, how do you feel — do you feel like you want to say a few words?

Sharon: Um…I don’t know if I’m ready to speak publicly about rey yet. Is that terrible? Maybe this is too soon.

Mariah: Mom, mom, it’s fine. You don’t have to.

Noah: Mom, no one is expecting anything of you, okay? One time I went to this service, and they set aside a time for quiet contemplation. If anyone was feeling compelled to speak, then they could. So there’s no pressure. You can share a spontaneous memory, good times, or, you know, just reflect on who that person was.

Sharon: That’s really beautiful. I love that, noah. And rey would really love that, too.

[ Sighs ] I’m so lucky that I have all of you here to support me when i need you the most, and I know that I am blessed to have such a strong and loving and talented family to support me at every turn.

Nikki: Nicholas, what brings you by?

Nick: You’re never gonna believe this one.

Victoria: What? What’s happened?

Nick: Ashland has gotten so desperate, he is trying to buy back his forgiveness by donating half of the money dad gave him.

Victoria: Donate? Where?

Nick: To new hope. And he said the money comes without any strings attached. But honestly, who’s gonna believe a world-class liar like him?

Victoria: Well, I mean, that’s a surprising move. What are the details?

Nick: Well, on the surface, it’s pretty simple. He is allegedly going to wire $250 million into a new hope account, which we can then use to build housing or support programs.

Nikki: Don’t tell me he wants to put his name on those buildings. That would be the most self-serving thing I’ve ever heard.

Nick: Well, here’s the ultimate chess move — he wants it done in the name of rey rosales.

Nikki: Oh, my god. How dare he take advantage of rey’s death to try to clear his name.

Nick: Which is why I want to walk away from this and tell him no. Ashland needs to see that he cannot just buy his way back into everyone’s good graces.

Nikki: Victoria, you’re awfully quiet. What do you think of this?

Victoria: I think it’s obvious. Nick needs to take every penny of that money. Facing expensive vitamin c creams with dull results?

Nick: Vick, come on. Don’t tell me you’re falling for this. He’s just trying to chip away at your resolve. Now he’s trying to seem compassionate? It’s a joke.

Victoria: Of course it is. But why not? Why not let ashland try to buy his absolution? Why not use some of that money and put it towards something good?

Nick: Everything he’s doing is to try and win back your forgiveness.

Victoria: Exactly. So let him try, because it’s never gonna happen. Not in a million years.

Nikki: Victoria, are you sure about that?

Victoria: I am more certain about that than I am about anything.

Nick: I mean, new hope’s mission is to help others, to try and change their lives. I can’t take his dirty money.

Victoria: Then think about the end game. Ignore ashland’s motives. Think about the good that that money will do in rey’s name. Isn’t that worth it?

Tessa: I still can’t believe that he’s gone.

Mariah: I know. I know, I’m just still trying to embrace the idea that we’re moving forward with this wedding when we’re still so devastated about losing rey.

Tessa: I am grateful that we get to be there for sharon during this awful time and that she asked for our help and told us what she needed.

Mariah: Yeah, at least we’re not standing around, feeling helpless. My mom said that this memorial is her way of saying goodbye and starting the process of letting go.

Tessa: I think we should take her at her word.

[ Rustling ]

Sharon: Rey. Rey.

[ Sighs ] I miss you so much. I feel you everywhere in our home. Your spirit still lives in every room here. You know, when I come home and i come to the door, I — I expect to find you here waiting for me, and when I hear a noise upstairs, I think it’s you, moving around. I think you’re there getting ready for work, and then… and then I remember. And then it hits me all over again. Everything here reminds me of you. Your coffee cup is still sitting by the kitchen sink where you left it the last morning you were here, and I…I can’t bring myself to put it away. I hope you didn’t suffer. I hope you weren’t in any pain. And I hope you know how loved you were.

Are. Always. And I know your spirit’s always gonna be with me…protecting me. You know, I can just see you smiling at how happy tessa was about crystal. And now I know why you were so disinterested in my obsession with finding the perfect wedding gift, because you already had something in the works. And I can’t believe you didn’t breathe a word of that to me.

[ Sighs ] You know, I should be mad at you for keeping that secret. But I can’T. I mean, I can never be mad at you again.

[ Sighs ] “Stop it — stop it, sharon. Stop it.”

[ Sighs ] At least that’s what you would tell me. You gave me so many pep talks when I was sick. Who am I gonna turn to now? I don’t know how I’m gonna manage without you.

[ Sniffles ] My precious husband. Somehow I’m gonna find a way.

Proofread by Anita

Sonny: Chet. Long time, no see.

Chet: Good to see you, Mr. Corinthos. Thank you again for the time off.

Sonny: How’d the trip to the Middle East go?

Chet: Oh, [Sighs] It was, uh — it was incredible. I wasn’t really sure how I’d feel being back in the country, but bringing those supplies to the nonprofit and sharing my story with the other wounded vets — I don’t know — it gave me a sense of closure I didn’t realize I needed.

Sonny: I’m glad the trip made a difference. You — you’re helping a lot of people.

Chet: Yeah, well, I tried.

And I’m also glad you’re back.

Yeah, well, I’m glad to be back. Turns out, I have a lot to look forward to now that I’m home.


Terry: What’s more date-worthy, biz — red or sparkly?

Elizabeth: Is this why you insisted I come with you — color consultation?

Terry: Uh, we needed a girls’ outing. You’ve been working too much.

Elizabeth: I’m trying to save up so Cameron can live in the dorms instead of semi-permanently crashing with friends. Getting my nails done is not a luxury I can afford.

Terry: No worries. It’s my treat.

Elizabeth: And normally I wouldn’t worry, except you never want anyone to come with you to the nail salon. This is your meditative time.

Terry: Well, after meditating on it, I’ve decided it’s time for a new tradition.

Elizabeth: Terry, what’s really going on? Uh…you know, there’s paraffin treatments in there.

Terry: [ Sighs ] Fine. Alright. I do have something to confess, and you’re not gonna like it.


[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Telephones ringing in distance ]

Britt: Heard it was a rough night.

TJ: I lost my first patient.

Britt: Always tough.

TJ: She wasn’t exactly a stranger. I mean, Harmony miller may have been bad news, but telling her daughter, “So sorry. We — we did everything we could” — it was… it was worse than I could ever imagine.

Britt: And did you? Do everything you could?

TJ: And we did.

Britt: Then you’re good.

TJ: Doesn’t feel that way.

Britt: [ Sighs ] Nothing prepares you for that first one.


Brook Lynn: I’m so sorry about Willow’s mom.

Michael: Thanks. I’ll, uh — I’ll tell Willow when she wakes up.

Brook Lynn: Thanks. And, Carly, I — I can’t even imagine.

Carly: Oh, that was rough. But I’m okay.

Brook Lynn: Never had any doubts. I’ll see you later, sweetie. Bye.

Carly: [ Laughs ]

[ Wind rushing ]

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Brook Lynn: Oh. Oh, my god. It is so good to hear your voice. After the day I’ve had, and it’s only noon.

Chase: What’s going on? Are you okay?

Brook Lynn: Just too much reality. I need a fantasy fix. We’re still on for the screening later, right?

Chase: [ Gasps ] Oh, it’s, uh, May the 4th.

Brook Lynn: Last I checked. Did you forget?

Chase: Oh, it’s just we got those tickets ages ago and, uh… I have another commitment.

Brook Lynn: [ Scoffs ] Like what, a date?

Chase: Yes, actually. And I’m pretty sure her dad doesn’t let her watch PG movies. I’ll talk to you later.

Violet: Pink or purple?


Michael: Yeah, Willow was so exhausted last night. I was, uh — I was worried she was gonna be too upset to sleep, but she sat on the bed to take her shoes off. By the time I turned back around, she was already asleep with her clothes still on.

Carly: Well, it’s a good thing that Willow’s getting some rest. She’s gonna need her strength with what’s to come.


Chet: How’d my temporary replacement do?

Sonny: Uh, Dex? Um, I-I only met him briefly. He’s — you know, he seemed capable.

Chet: Good. Well, I took a chance on him because he’s a fellow vet and he had experience in gym management, so I just…

Sonny: Yeah.

Chet: I just hope he met your expectations.

Sonny: Well, the — the transition was seamless. And the staff, no complaints.

Chet: Well, as long as he wasn’t better at my job than I am.

Sonny: No, no danger to that.[ Laughs ]

Dante: Hey, Chet.

Chet: Hey.

Dante: Good to see you back, man.

Chet: Yeah, thanks.

Sonny: You’re here early. I am, yeah.

Dante: I, uh — I left you a message.

Sonny: Ah, well, I was gonna call you. What’s up?

Dante; You haven’t heard?

Chet: Uh, first day. I’m going to go take care of the handoff.

Sonny: Yeah. What’s going on?

Dante: Carly and Alexis were attacked last night.


Chase: Ooh, it’s so hard to choose.

Violet: Last time, you wore pink.

Chase: Right, because I thought you preferred purple. I do, but when it’s on my head, I can’t see it. That’s why daddy usually picks purple.

Chase: Oh. Speaking of, your dad called me this morning, and he said he’s so excited to see you tonight, and then he blew you a big kiss, like this. Mwah!

Violet: [ Giggles ] You’re gonna have to call him back so you can blow him a kiss from me.

Chase: Or you could do it yourself.

Violet: That’s true.

Chase: Do you know what else is true? With your dad away, we could spend the whole day together. What do you want to do?

Violet: Tea party.

Chase: That’s an option. Or we could take a walk in the park, see the ducks in the lake.

Violet: Hm. Tea party.

Chase: Or we could go to the aquarium. I bet they have purple fish and all the sea creatures there.

Violet: Tea par-ty.

Chase: That’s three tea parties in less than 24 hours, Violet.

Violet: You can never have too many tea parties.

Chase: Noted.


Terry: Today’s mani-pedi is actually being underwritten by a generous benefactor, one who’s concerned about the amount of stress you’ve been under.

Elizabeth: Ah. Okay, thank you for telling me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go kill Finn.

Terry: Hey, hey, hey. Can you kill him after you get your nails done? You need this.

Elizabeth: One afternoon is not going to make me forget everything that’s going on.

Terry: And what exactly is “everything”? You’ve been tired, irritable. And the fact that Finn asked me to take you on this little outing only confirms that things are bigger than you’ve told me.

Elizabeth: I can handle it.

Terry: Right, so who done it, then, hmm? Who slashed your dress and stashed your wedding ring in your locker? Who burned down Franco’s studio, took his portrait of you, and left it at your house? If you’re handling it, you must know, then.

Elizabeth: I don’t enjoy you when you’re like this.

Terry: And yet you should be used to it by now. Come on. Enough with the silence and pretense. You’re telling me everything.

Elizabeth: Okay. Okay.

Terry: And don’t forget, I’ve known you longer than anyone, so don’t even think about holding back, because I’ll know.


Britt: As much as I hate to say this, Harmony Miller is only the first of many.

TJ: Patients I’ll lose in the future? [ Sighs ] Can’t wait.

Britt: It may not be comforting, but it’s the truth. [ Sighs ]

[ Cup taps lightly ]

Britt: How are you doing?

Amy: Dr. Westbourne! Hi, Dr. Ashford. Dr. Westbourne.

Britt: Hi, Nurse Driscoll. Is there something I can do for you?

Amy: Yes, at least I hope so. I agreed to work a double, but I’m not feeling well, so I was hoping…

Britt: Did you check with Epiphany?

Amy: She said it’s okay with her if it’s okay with you. And I just conducted my final patient rounds, and the beds on the floor and in the er are at below half capacity.

Britt: Okay, off you go. [ Chuckles ] Feel better. [ Sighs ] Okay. Where were we?

TJ: Uh, how — how am I doing? Y-you know, I did — I did everything I could to save my patient, and I still lost her, so I feel — I-I feel helpless, useless, defeated. You know, part of me wants to scream and — and throw my coffee against the wall. I just…

Britt: Well, TJ, you are a doctor, and this is a hospital. There are plenty of fantastic places to scream if you muffle the noise. [ Chuckles ]

TJ: [ Sighs ]

Britt: Try a few and pick your favorite.

TJ: I’ll do that. Thank you.


Dante: Uh, Carly and Alexis, they’re at home recovering, but, you know, they’re — they’re pretty rattled.

Sonny: Harmony — where is she now?

Dante: She’s dead.

Sonny: Dead? How?

Dante: She tried to make a getaway on foot and a car hit her. That’s all I can tell you right now.

Sonny: Okay. I gotta call Carly.

Dante: What’s the matter?

Sonny: No, it’s just — there was just a time when Carly would — would have called me for something like this, or the hospital would have contacted me as next of kin. But now that, you know, in the eyes of the law, we’re not family anymore, so…

Dante: Well, you know, families aren’t made and broken with emergency contact information.

Sonny: But they’re all — it’s family. There should always be, you know, trust. Care. I’m always gonna care for Carly the rest of my life. But now, you know, she just doesn’t want anything to do with me.


Carly: Keep that up, you’re going to wear a groove in the floor.

Michael: Yeah, I know, I’m just — I’m just still reeling about what happened. I mean, Willow was just starting to regain trust with Harmony, and now she has to deal with this?

Wiley: What about grandma Harmony?

Michael: Um…

Carly: What color do you want to color the car?

Wiley: Uh, blue.

Carly: Blue it is. Get going, alright? Um… you’re going to have to watch it.

Michael: I know. It’s — I-I just — I-I don’t understand what led Harmony to do what she did at Rana Point. I don’t, but… the police are investigating. That means this is gonna go public. Yeah. And the press is going to jump all over it. I know. I managed to stall Aurora’s digital press, but I can’t control all media. Eventually, this is going to come out, and I just don’t know how to protect Willow from the fallout.


Violet: How were the refreshments, Princess Brandywine?

Chase: [ Clears throat ] [ British accent ] Why, Lady Honeycutt, I do believe these are the finest scones I’ve ever had the good fortune to nibble on.

Violet: Why, thank you.

[ Knock on door ]

Chase: [ Normal voice ] Whoever you are, I owe you.

[ Lightsabers activate ]

Brook Lynn: [Laughing] May the 4th be with you.

Chase: I know, I know.

Brook Lynn: Ah! Tell me, young Skywalker, is that a Jedi tiara or a Sith tiara, hmm?

Violet: Uncle Chase is Princess Brandywine.

Chase: Ah. Yes, uh… Lady Honeycutt speaks the truth. [ British accent ] I am Princess Brandywine.

Brook Lynn: [ Laughs ] Well, then, call me Han Solo because I arrived in the nick of time.


Elizabeth: So now the boys and I are living apart. Aiden’s discussing Ouija boards with Lucy Coe, and I can’t even escape this menace in a hotel room. And that brings us to now.

Terry: Oh, my god, biz. I can’t believe you’ve been dealing with all this. You should have told me.

Elizabeth: [ Sighs ] I mean, the police are on the case, and Finn’s been really supportive. What more could you have done besides worry?

Terry: Offer my support? Someone to vent to? My home?

Elizabeth: Finn offered his home as well, but whatever this is, it followed me to the metro court. I don’t want it following me to your house.

Terry: Wait, “whatever” this is? Don’t you mean “whoever”?

Elizabeth: Aiden believes it’s franco’s ghost. And do you actually think he’s right? That you’re being stalked by franco’s ghost?

[ Door opens, closes ]

Elizabeth: Amy.


Dante: Look, you won’t know if Carly wants you to check in with her unless you reach out.

Sonny: Someone tries to kill Carly — she doesn’t reach out to me? Same thing with Michael? That sends a message. They don’t want anything to do with me.

Dante: What message? What do you — maybe they’re just catching their breath…

Sonny: Okay.

Dante: …Right now.

Sonny: Alright.

Dante: Come on.

Sonny: No, I’m just saying.

Dante: Look, last night was a crazy night. Alexis and Carly were still being treated when Harmony was brought in. I mean, it — we’re all still just trying to pick up the pieces of what happened. And then Michael, he was worried a-about Carly and Willow and maybe just too distracted to contact you, even if he thought about it. Even if he wanted to. I don’t know.

Sonny: Michael didn’t want to, but that’s his choice.

Dante: [ Sighs ] I guess so.

Sonny: Yeah.

Dante: You taking care of yourself?

Sonny: Uh… of course I am.

Dante: You lost your best friend, your wife, and now son.

Sonny: Thanks for reminding me.

Dante: Well, I’m not trying to remind you — I’m just trying to make you see that you’re getting more and more isolated, and sometimes, when that happens, we both know you can get vulnerable.


Michael: There’s just one thing I don’t understand about all this.

Carly: Just one?

Michael: As crazy as what, uh, Harm– actually, let’s — let’s go over here. As crazy as what Harmony did at Rana Point, I mean, what pushed her that far? I mean, she seemed like she was in a good place. She was rebuilding with Willow. And what she tried to do, it — it — it was so outrageous that it was guaranteed to fail — I mean, thank God, but she must’ve known that. So why jeopardize her relationship with Willow?

Carly: And this little guy.

Michael: Exactly. She was obviously desperate, and then… [ Scoffs ] I probably didn’t help that.


Sonny: You saying I’m vulnerable or my business is vulnerable? What are you — I don’t — I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.

Dante: Well, I can’t speak to your business for obvious reasons, but as your son right now, I’m just saying that I’m concerned. I don’t want you to start drinking again or get off your meds.

Sonny: Well, you’re not wrong, and I appreciate your concern.

Dante: Okay.

Sonny: But I got it handled.

Dante: On the drinking or the meds?

Sonny: Both.

Dante: Alright. [ Clears throat ] What about the loneliness? You got that handled, too?

Sonny: You know, let me just say this — you don’t have to worry about me. [ Breathing sharply ]

Dante: Alright. Good enough. I gotta go to the Quartermaines’ and talk to Willow, alright?

Sonny: Alright.

Dante: See you around.

Sonny: Alright, see you later.


TJ: I almost wish I could compartmentalize my emotions.

Britt: No chief wants robots populating their staff.

TJ: You don’t want doctors lined up outside the call room, taking turns having a good cry, right?

Britt: I don’t know. Sounds pretty good to me.

Mm.

[ Telephones ringing in distance ]

Britt: It wasn’t that long ago I had to deliver devastating news to new parents.

TJ: Brando and Sasha?

Britt: [ Sighs ] Feeling too much and feeling too little, both have their drawbacks. But given the choice, I want medical professionals who treat patients using their heart as well as their head.

TJ: My — my favorite professor always said that good doctoring comes from good listening, and good listening can’t always be taught.

Britt: It’s also not billable.

TJ: [ Chuckles ] Yeah.

Britt: The trick is to combine compassion with efficient care.

TJ: You make that sound really easy.

Britt: Oh, no, it — it’s not. [ Laughs ] But it is doable. Tell me, TJ, what kind of doctor do you want to be?


Elizabeth: Amy, come join us.

Amy: Uh, I’m here for a manicure, not a pedicure, but thanks.

Terry: I thought you were working a double.

Amy: I was, but I wasn’t feeling well after last night.

Terry: Were you prescribed a cuticle trim?

Amy: I’ll find another salon.

Elizabeth: No, no, no, no. You don’t have to do that. We can save shoptalk for when we get back to work. Okay?

Amy: No, not okay. Dr. Randolph, why are you always picking on me lately? We’re not even at the hospital and you’re getting all up in my business.

Terry: Because, to the best of my knowledge, you’re supposed to be at the hospital.

Amy: Dr. Ashford lost his first patient last night. I was working with him. We couldn’t save her. It got to me.

Terry: I’m sorry to hear that.

Amy: Thank you.

Terry: And I have my job to do.

Amy: Well, I don’t like the way you’re doing it, and I’m probably not the only one.

Terry: Which is why staff are given the opportunity to evaluate hospital leadership quarterly.

Amy: Well, I may forgo that and march straight to Monica.

Terry: Knock yourself out, Amy. We’re done.

Elizabeth: Hey, Amy, I understand that you’re upset, but let’s all just take a deep breath, you guys.

Terry: It’s fine, Elizabeth. Amy’s entitled to her anger.

Amy: Oh, gee, thank you.

Terry: You’re also entitled to file a formal complaint with the board. What you’re not entitled to do is try to ruin my day off.

Amy: [ Scoffs ]

Elizabeth: Finn was right. It’s definitely got my mind off of my problems.


Chase: You are so my hero.

Brook Lynn: [ Sighs ]

Chase: Did you pick these up on the way over?

Brook Lynn: Are you kidding? All the good lightsabers are gone by the end of April. My dad actually got these a while back for Rocco and Leo. Since you couldn’t go to “Star Wars,” I thought I’d bring “Star Wars” to you.

[ Lightsabers whirring ]

Chase: I glad you remembered.

Brook Lynn: Of course I remembered.

Chase: Why “of course”? Well, it’s a very important day in this galaxy, and it’s really important to you.

Violet: Uncle Chase, come sword fight with me.

Brook Lynn: You heard the princess.

Chase: Hey, that is mine. Well… okay, Violet, first of all, this is called a lightsaber, and it is the ancient and sacred weapon of the warriors known as the Jedi. Wah!

[ Lightsabers bleeping ]

Chase: Unh! Wsssh! Aaah!


Michael: I was always so guarded with Harmony, and she felt it. You know, maybe if I was more accepting, she would have been honest.

Carly: Stop that. No one made Harmony do what she did. She made the choice to hurt people.

[ Knock on door ]

Michael: [ Sighs ] Hey, Dante.

Dante: Hey, everybody.

Wiley: Hi, Uncle Dante.

[ Door closes ]

Dante: Hey, pal, how you doing?

Carly: So, are you here to see Willow?

Dante: Yeah. Is she resting? If so, I can come back another time.

Carly: Oh.

Michael: Hey, bud, your mom’s awake. She could use a hug.

Carly: Willow, what can we do for you?

Willow: Hugs help.

Carly: Well, then I’m next in line. [ Chuckles ]

Willow: Aww.

Carly: Oh, I’m so sorry. Alright, why don’t I take this little guy up to the main house, alright? And I’ll be right back. Come on. Let’s go get some yummy snacks in the big house.

Michael: How you holding up?

[ Door closes ]

Willow: Last night was…

Michael: Overwhelming?

Dante: Hey, Willow, um… I do have more information for you, if you feel like you’re ready for it.


Chet: Mr. Corinthos, if you have a minute, Dex would like to say goodbye. It’s his, uh, last day here.

Dex: Thank you for the opportunity, Mr. Corinthos. I hope my work was satisfactory.

Sonny: Listen, if — if I ever need anybody to replace Chet, I’ll give you a call. What’s next for you?

Dex: Not sure. Ideally, I’d love to stay on here in some other capacity.

Chet: Well, I wish we had a more permanent position for you at the gym, but we’re fully staffed.

Dex: Till something opens up, I’m — I’m more than happy to scrub floors, fix equipment, wash towels. I mean, no job is too big or small. I’m just asking for a chance.


Elizabeth: Since when is there friction between you and Amy?

Terry: I’ve had to call her out a few times. Nurse Driscoll thinks it’s personal, but it really isn’t. I shouldn’t lose my temper. It’s unprofessional. And even worse, it causes frown lines.

Elizabeth: Well, then, let’s talk about something that makes you smile, like your secret “lovah.”

Terry: Uh, he is not my “lovah.” And it’s not a secret, I just don’t want to jinx it.

Elizabeth: [ Sighs ] If not his name, give me something.

Terry: He’s funny and handsome, a real gentleman, and he looks great in a t-shirt. [ Chuckles ]

Elizabeth: Go on.

Terry: I met him a few months ago. We had a drink on Valentine’s, and then he had to leave town.

Elizabeth: Oh, well, that’s not a good sign.

Terry: We kept in touch. And, my god, Biz, the man gives great text.

Elizabeth: Oh, gee. Sounds like you’re in trouble.

Terry: [ Laughs ] Hey, speaking of trouble, are you gonna be okay at the hotel tonight?

[ Water bubbling ]

Elizabeth: I just forgot to latch the door. It’s not gonna happen again.

Terry: Did you at least call hotel security?

Elizabeth: [ Sighs ] Hotel security, the police, and nothing seems to help. I don’t know, maybe nothing can.

Terry: The ghost theory.

Elizabeth: I know you’re a woman of science, and so am I. But at this point, I’m willing to try everything.

Terry: Whatever eases your mind.

Elizabeth: Great. So will you go someplace with me later this week?

Terry: Can you be more specific?

Elizabeth: Why? You already trust me. You don’t need to know.

Terry: Unfortunately, that’s true.

Elizabeth: Great. But right now, I need to get back to work, and you need to prep for your hot date.

Terry: Mm. [ Chuckles ]


Brook Lynn: Mmm, my word, Lady Honeycutt, this tea is delicious.

Violet: Thank you, Queen Marshmallow.

Brook Lynn: [ Laughs ] Please tell me you have something strong and real to put in these cups.

Chase: Oh, now you know my pain.

Brook Lynn: [ Chuckles ]

Violet: The tea is orange spice, daddy’s favorite.

Brook Lynn: Oh. Is daddy working today?

Violet: He had an emergency at the hospital. He is saving lives.

Brook Lynn: I know. Finn helps a lot of people.

Violet: Chase helps a lot of people, too.

Brook Lynn: Right, police officers certainly help people, and your Uncle Chase is one of the best.

Chase: I miss it.

Brook Lynn: It’s just a few more weeks. [ Clears throat ] You hear that, Violet? Your Uncle Chase is gonna be back to saving the galaxy very soon, just like Luke — Luke…

Chase: Skywalker?

Brook Lynn: Right. Skywalker. How could I forget?

Chase: It’s too bad we’re not going to the movie tonight. You could use a refresher.

Brook Lynn: Well, maybe we can have a private screening someday soon.


TJ: I want to be the kind of doctor that — that people are happy to see again. And I want them to trust me, to know that I will move heaven and earth for them. And — and to be the kind of doctor that can provide solace when healing is impossible.

Britt: And how’s that going for you so far?

TJ: I did all I could to save Harmony. But when I had to break the news to her daughter last night, every bit of confidence, all of my training went out the window, and I felt completely out of my depth.

Britt: Well, Dr. Ashford, congratulations. You’re still human. [ Chuckles ] But you can’t tell when the losses are gonna hit. You could go a whole year without one.

TJ: Mm.

Britt: And then you could have three in one hour.

TJ: Damn.

Britt: You may need to learn not to internalize every loss. I mean, that is — that takes a toll.

TJ: What do you suggest?

Britt: Self-care. I-I know it’s an overused, crunchy granola term these days, but the whole concept of putting an oxygen mask on first on an airplane — you have to take care of you first. I know it sounds selfish, but it’s the first step in helping others.

TJ: I-I will remember that, but do you have any recommendations or suggestions for self-care?

Britt: Uh, I mean, find something that brings you peace. For some people, it’s exercise and therapy — for others, it’s a hobby or spending time with loved ones. You’ve been here all night, right?

TJ: And I still have all day.

Britt: While you were worrying about Willow’s family, have you had time to check in on your own? How’s Molly doing after her mom was attacked?

TJ: I spoke with her briefly, and — and she’s upset, of course, but, you know, she’s Molly.

Britt: I don’t know what that means.

[ Both laugh ]

TJ: Okay. Not only is she holding it together, but she’s holding everyone together.

Britt: That sounds rough. It’s a lot. You’ve had a rough night. Just say the word, and I can have you covered.

TJ: You mean…?

Britt: I mean, I’m saying you can go home. [ Laughs ] This is the time, TJ, in the beginning of your career where you have to determine what matters most to you and make it a priority. Otherwise, you can count on having many more dark, lonely nights of the soul. [ Sighs ]


Dante: Uh, you want to sit down? Uh, officially, I’m here to update you on our investigation.

Willow: And unofficially? Well, unofficially, um…

[ Door opens ]

Carly: Hey. Okay. What’d I miss?

Michael: We just got started.

Carly: Oh.

Dante: Unofficially, I’m here as family.

Willow: Thank you. But please just tell me why my mother tried to kill Carly and Alexis last night.

Carly: At Alexis’s house, I found papers that implicated Harmony in a crime, and to stop me from exposing it, Harmony attacked me and drugged me.

Willow: I know all that. What I don’t know is why. What was my mother trying to hide?

Dante: Harmony had killed before.


Violet: Thank you for making my tea party such a delightful occasion.

Brook Lynn: Mm.

Violet: I’m gonna go clean this up now. Don’t have any fun without me.

Chase: [ Laughs ]

Brook Lynn: [ Chuckles ] Aww, Violet wanted to clean up by herself? I’ll never be able to raise a kid who’s half as well-mannered as her.

Chase: Are you kidding me? You’re gonna be a great mom.

Brook Lynn: I don’t know.

Chase: I’ve seen you in action, remember?

Brook Lynn: [ Sighs ]

Chase: Uh, how’s Leo? Is he feeling any better about his upcoming performance?

Brook Lynn: He’s still nervous, but you definitely helped.

Chase: I think we helped. We make a good team.

Brook Lynn: But there’s only so much we could do. I mean, drama therapy is definitely helping, but stage fright is very, very real.

Chase: Even when you’re not the one performing?

Brook Lynn: [ Sighs ]

Chase: Have you written any songs lately?

Brook Lynn: Nope. [ Scoffs ]

Chase: You are a gifted songwriter, Brook Lynn.

Brook Lynn: I-I used to be. I mean, what if my new stuff isn’t — what if it isn’t… [ Sighs ]

Chase: There’s only one way to find out.

Brook Lynn: [ Scoffs ]

Chase: I get it, you know.

Brook Lynn: Really?

Chase: Sure. I haven’t done my job in so long. I mean, what if I can’t remember how to do it?

Brook Lynn: You’re a pro. It’ll be like riding a bike.

Chase: If you can have this much faith in me, why can’t you do the same for yourself?


Terry: [ Laughs ]

Elizabeth: Well, thanks for our girls’ outing.

Terry: Make sure you thank Finn, too.

Elizabeth Ohh.

Terry: Preferably before you kill him for being considerate of your feelings.

Elizabeth: [ Laughs ]

Terry: He should know by now how much kindness annoys you.

Elizabeth: Seriously, what is wrong with that guy?

Terry:[ Laughs ]

Elizabeth: And thanks for the ride back. You didn’t need to.

Terry: No worries. I left something in my office.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Terry: Let me know the day of our mystery appointment.

Elizabeth: And let me know how your date goes.

Terry: [ Chuckles ] Britt, did you know that Amy Driscoll blew off her second shift for a manicure?

Britt: I did tell her she could leave early, but a manicure? Good for her.

Terry: Excuse me? [ Laughs ]

Britt: She lost a patient last night.

Terry: [ Scoffs ] And it sucks that Amy had a rough night, but it doesn’t excuse the way she spoke to me.

Britt: I’ll address it with her.

Terry: I was just going to have Epiphany talk to her.

Britt: I—I’d like a shot at it. Use the carrot instead of the stick. It’s–it’s a thing I’m trying.

Terry: Okay. Thanks. Let me know how it goes.

Britt: That’s not what you’re wearing on your date, is it?

Terry: [ Laughs ]


Sonny: I appreciate your hustle. Uh, I don’t think — we don’t have any jobs right now.

Dex: It was worth a try. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, am I right?

Sonny: Good attitude.

Amy: Chet.

Chet: What? Uh, excuse me. Family awaits.

Sonny: Okay, speaking of family, I got to make a call. So don’t be a stranger, Dex.

Dex: Absolutely.

[ Men grunting ]

Sonny: Carly? Hi. Um, I heard about last night. I just — I just want to make sure you’re okay.

[ Men grunting ]

Sonny: What the hell?!

Dex: Knock it off!

Man: Come on, kid! Come on, kid!

Dex: This is not some back alley! Have some respect. Come on.


Dante: The body of Brendon Byrne surfaced off pier 54. We have evidence that Harmony murdered him.

Willow: But why would my mother kill Brendon Byrne? Did he have a connection to Dawn of Day and Shiloh?

Dante: Well, the only connection we are aware of is that he was Dr. Neil Byrne’s brother, whom Harmony also murdered.

Michael: Hold on, are — are you saying that Harmony murdered a man to conceal that she killed his brother and then tried to kill my mom and Alexis to cover?

Dante: That’s what I’m saying.

Willow: I’m sorry. That — that can’t be right. My mother had her faults, but she was kind, compassionate. She was not a murderer.

Dante: Uh, Willow… Harmony committed a crime years ago, and she went to great lengths to hide it.

Willow: Having to do with her past?

Dante: Having to do with her past… and yours.


Terry: How did you know I have a date?

Britt: When I’m bored, I hack into your personal calendar, e-mails, and browser history.

Terry: Oh.

Britt: I also just overheard Elizabeth.

Terry: [ Scoffs ] Well, if you must know, I’m going home to change. So thanks for asking.

Britt: Mm. Not a fan of unsolicited advice?

Terry: Is anyone?

Britt: Well, then, you’re probably not gonna like what I’m about to say.

Terry: Go on.

Britt: Forget about Amy. Forget about the hospital. Forget about everything right now. Enjoy your date.


Dex: You guys are busted. Get out of here. Let’s go.

Amy: She has it in for me, I swear.

Chet: Well, I’m sure that is not the case.

Amy: Thanks for telling me my feelings and perceptions are invalid. You’re a great brother.

Chet: It’s not like you don’t have a history of blowing things out of proportion.

Amy: You’re adopted.

Chet: Actually, you were.

Amy: Oh, what? [ Laughs ] No, I wasn’t.

Chet: You and your boss are going through a rough patch. You should probably just talk it out.

Amy: You don’t know this woman, Chet. She is completely unreasonable.

Chet: Yeah, I can’t imagine what that’s like.

Amy: There is no point in talking it out. Instead, I’m simply going to avoid her whenever possible.


Terry: Wait, wait, wait a second. You, Britt Westbourne, she of the caustic remarks, who freely judges the choices of others, is actually telling me to go out and —

Britt: Just enjoy yourself.

Terry: [ Scoffs ] You know, you’re continually not as aggravating as I thought you’d be.

Britt: What a compliment.

Terry: [ Chuckles ]

Britt: Now get out of here.

[ Both laugh ]

TJ: You were right.

Britt: As usual. About what?

TJ: I took your advice. I called Molly, and she wants to curl up on the couch, watch “Star Wars,” and eat vegan pizza.

Britt: Sounds like the perfect way to recharge.

TJ: So I would like to take you up on your offer, if that’s okay.

Britt: Go. Leave. Be with your domestic partner.

TJ: Awesome. I just need to tie up a few things, and I’ll be on my way.

Britt: Okay. I will hold down the fort. Enjoy that vegan pizza. And, TJ, May the 4th be with you. Besides, it’s not like I have anyone waiting for me tonight. [ Sighs ]


Elizabeth: Chelsea, hi. My name is Elizabeth. Lucy Coe referred me to you. I would like to schedule a session. I need help explaining the unexplainable.


Brook Lynn: I know what I’ll do. I-I will start saying daily affirmations, like, “I am good enough, I am strong enough, and I will hit the game-winning home run on opening day of the summer softball league.

Chase: Oh, in your dreams. No, not even in your dreams.

Brook Lynn: The Deception team has something the PCPD team doesn’t.

Chase: Yeah, what’s that?

Brook Lynn: [ Laughs ] A base stealer from Bensonhurst with a .350 batting average.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Violet: The tea set’s put away.

Chase: Oh. Guess what — I have an idea. If Leo’s free, the four of us could, uh, go to Kelly’s for dinner.

Brook Lynn: That’s a really great idea. Leo can practice his poem for Violet.

Chase: And then we can go back to rounding the bases.

Brook Lynn: [ Laughs ]

Chase: In terms of softball and describing how softball works.

Brook Lynn: Alright.

Violet: As long as we can bring the lightsabers.

Brook Lynn: It’s a date.

Violet: It’s a date.

[ Laughter ]


Dex: Sorry, Mr. Corinthos. I gave those guys a talking-to. They won’t cause any more trouble.

Sonny: You know what? You know how to handle yourself.

Dex: Just doing my job. Well…you know.

Sonny: You know, I’ll tell you what. There might be something that, you know, I-I might have for you. Why don’t you come by my office later and we’ll talk about your future?


Willow: So this crime my mom committed all those years ago, it was referenced in the papers you found?

Carly: They were session notes from dr. Byrne, who was apparently Harmony’s psychiatrist. And in the notes, dr. Byrne wrote that Harmony revealed a secret to him.

Willow: And what was the secret?

Carly: Uh, Willow…

Dante: Carly, I’m going to stop you before you go any further. Willow, I’m obligated to tell you that, uh, we have yet to verify these and other details, but having said that, we have no reason to doubt the veracity of the comments Dr. Byrne made that, uh, Harmony confessed to doing.

Willow: Thank you, Dante. I understand. Now, can somebody please just tell me?

Dante: Harmony was not your biological mother.

Harmony: She was…one of two. My Willow, she had another half.

Carly: Had another half? Was Willow a twin?

Harmony: Nelle…

Carly: Nelle? Oh my God.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Sasha: What the hell are you doing here?

Brando: I’m hoping you know what to do.

Jordan (to Curtis): And how exactly did you manage to do that, when I said no?

Nina (to Scott): I need your full and complete attention.

Willow (to Carly): Did Harmony tell you anything?

Sonny (to Dex): If that’s a problem, we stop right now.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

TR: if it wasn’t for you, paulina. If you’re not with the twins, you’re here taking care of me, making sure I never have to leave his side.

Paulina: It is my honor to support my daughter and my son-in-law. And I am going to keep right on doing it, as long as you need me to. Oh.

TR: How are my two favorite girls?

Paulina: Mm, more flowers. You’re going to make all the other patients very jealous.

Lani: Thank you, tr. They’re lovely.

TR: How’s the patient? Any change?

Lani: Unfortunately, no. But I keep talking to him, telling him how we all cannot wait for him to come back. And, I don’t know, maybe it’s just wishful thinking, but I really feel like he’s listening this time.

Paulina: Oh, I don’t think it’s wishful thinking at all, darling. I think eli hears every word that you say to him and that he’s working very hard to get back to you and those beautiful children.

Tripp: So, what brings you in today, ms. Howard?

[Tense music]

[Elevator dings]

Chanel: How-how are you feeling?

Johnny: Much better. Yeah, as you could see, last night, I was in pretty rough shape, but I’m all rehydrated and good to go.

Chanel: G, are you sure? You’ve been through a lot.

Johnny: Ah, it wasn’t that bad. I mean, sure, I was possessed by the devil, held prisoner in a crypt, almost strangled to death by my dead uncle. But, hey, everyone’s got their problems, right?

Chanel: Yeah, way to put things in perspective.

Johnny: You know, to be honest, all that did do a pretty good number on me, but I’m fine now.

Chanel: And I assume you’re headed home to rest?

Johnny: No way. I need to find allie.

Demon allie: Now that I’ve convinced you that your beloved husband is dead and you’re in mortal danger from the maniac who killed him, you can stay here with me, where you’ll be safe. I’ll keep a close eye on you until you give birth, and then that baby will finally be mine. That’s the plan, ciara. And nobody and nothing is going to stop me.

Susan: Oh, ben, I got your message and I came as soon as I could!

Ben: Susan, I am freaking out. Nobody has seen or heard from ciara since yesterday.

Susan: Oh, what about allie?

Ben: Nobody’s seen or heard from her either.

Susan: Well, I mean, she’s possessed, so that’s hardly surprising.

Ben: Susan, I need to find ciara right now. She could give birth at any time, and the devil is after our baby.

Susan: Okay. You know what, ben? I know how scared you must be after tangling with the devil up close and personal, but you know what? You and ciara, you have a special love. And you know what? Love will always win over evil every time.

Ben: [Sighs] I really hope you’re right. And I really hope that we can use your powers to help me connect with her again, just like you did before. Please.

Susan: Oh, okay, okay. All right, you know the drill. You just go get you something of hers and then, we’ll get cracking, huh? I’m gonna have you two lovebirds chirping in no time! Whoo!

[Sighs] Yeah.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Ben: I gave this to ciara as an anniversary gift.

Susan: It’s a little small, isn’t it?

Ben: It’s symbolic. The bike is what brought us together.

Susan: You know, that is real sweet, ben. That’s real sweet. All right, we’re gonna do this like we did before. Nice and easy, all right?

Ben: [Sighs]

Susan: Okay.

[Inhales deeply] Ahh.

[Inhales deeply] Ooh. Ciara alice brady weston! Oh, honey, I need to feel your presence, sweetheart!

Ben: Anything?

Susan: Uh…no. Here, you hold it. You hold it. Hold it, huh? Come on! Let’s do this! All right, come on!

[Clears throat] Sweetheart, I got your hubby right here! You know, he’s alive and he’s well and he’s reaching out to you, sweetie. He’s reaching out to you and he loves you so much! And I just– I want you to feel his love! Feel his love! Come on! Come on, huh? Anything? Nothing. Why don’t you talk to her?

Ben: Ciara, it’s me. I’m alive and I’m trying to find you, but I need your help.

Ciara: Ben?

Susan: Come on, ben. Keep going. Keep going, honey. Come on.

Ben: Ciara, my love, if you can hear me, I need you to tell me where you are.

Ciara: Ben. Ben, is that you?

[Gasps] Allie.

Allie: Hey, I think you were having a nightmare.

Ciara: No, that wasn’t a nightmare. Allie, it was ben. I heard him. Allie, he’s alive!

Ben: Aw, so close. I-I almost felt her. I swear to god, I was so close. I don’t–I don’t know. Something happened.

Susan: All right, hold on. It’s-it’s the devil. The devil was messing up the signal, that’s all.

Ben: So then, now what? What do we do?

TR: What’s the latest with eli’s doctors? Do they think he has a chance to wake up?

Paulina: Ha, forget those doctors. This wonderful man with a smile that lights up the world? Oh, he’s coming out of this. I am sure of it.

Abe: Wow. It’s a full house, huh?

Lani: [Sighs] Come on in, dad.

Abe: I thought there weren’t supposed to be too many people in this room right now.

Paulina: Um, I’ll go. Yeah, I got to use the little girls’ room anyway. I’ll talk to you later, okay, sweetheart?

Lani: Oh, okay.

Paulina: Okay.

[Door shuts]

Abe: Well, was it something I said?

TR: More like something you did.

Chanel: G, it might not be that easy for you to find your sister. You see, I don’t know if anyone told you this, but she– allie, she took ciara.

Johnny: What? What? Took? Took her where?

Chanel: No one knows.

Johnny: Oh, my god. And the devil wants my cousin’s baby.

Chanel: Every cop in town has been looking for them. Oh, g, what if they shoot first and then ask questions later? I’m scared, johnny. I am so scared.

Johnny: It’s okay.

[Elevator dings]

Paulina: What the hell is going on here? I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Tripp: Ms. Howard, may I ask how you got injured this way?

Beth: I tripped. Landed on my face.

Tripp: Are you sure? Anything you tell me will remain strictly confidential. The doctors who work here are given treatment guidelines. They help us to accurately identify what’s going on with patients so we can provide the help that they need. I want to make sure that I’m doing all I can to help you, ms. Howard. So, I have to ask, did someone do this to you? There’s another option that might make you a little more comfortable. In situations like this, it’s often helpful to call in a female police officer.

Beth: No. No cops. Look, I’m in a lot of pain. I just need a prescription for painkillers.

Tripp: You should probably be admitted.

Beth: No, I can’T. I can’T. I can’t be here. I have to work.

Tripp: Ice first, then heat in a couple of days. And switch to ibuprofen as soon as you can.

Beth: I will.

Tripp: Would you like me to call a friend to pick you up?

Beth: No, I’m good.

[Sighs]

[Solemn music]

Abe: So what exactly is it that you think I did?

TR: Paulina told me that she made it clear that she still had feelings for you, and you rejected her.

Abe: And what the hell business is it of yours?

TR: Actually, it is. I care about her very much, and I don’t want to see her get hurt.

Abe: [Laughs] That is rich coming from you. If anyone–

Lani: Okay, stop! Stop! Dad, stop! Stop it! My husband is fighting for his life, and you two are standing there arguing? What is wrong with you?

Paulina: Keep your filthy hands off my daughter!

Johnny: Look, ms. Price, I know how you feel about me, but chanel, can you please explain to your mother that I’m not the horrible person she thinks I am? I’m sorry. I-I really have to go.

Paulina: [Scoffs] Of course. Of course he runs off. Damn coward!

Chanel: No, johnny really does have something important to do.

Paulina: Oh, yeah, and what is that? Get to a hot date?

Chanel: No, he spent the night here last night, mama. He just got released.

Paulina: And went straight to manhandling you.

Chanel: No, he was comforting me because I was upset. That’s all.

Paulina: Oh, chanel, please don’t tell me that you’re getting sucked back into being with that little punk.

Chanel: You don’t understand.

Paulina: Oh, I understand all right! I understand that he and his twisted sister, they treated you like dirt, shattered your heart into a million pieces!

Chanel: Johnny never meant to hurt me, mama. And neither did allie.

Paulina: What? Well, what is this? This 180 you’re doing here, chanel? Suddenly defending those two? Making excuses for their disgraceful behavior?

Chanel: I’m not making excuses. I’m telling you that– that they weren’t responsible for that behavior.

Paulina: How could they not be? What in the world?

Chanel: It wasn’t them. Mama, they were possessed by the devil.

Allie: Ciara, honey, you couldn’t have heard ben. You were just dreaming.

Ciara: Allie, it was more than that. I’ve had this feeling before I know what this is, the feeling of ben trying to call out to me and reach out to me. I know that that is what this is. I just heard his voice telling me that he needs me.

Allie: Ciara, that’s impossible. And I know this is so hard to accept, but ben is dead.

Ciara: No, allie, I don’t believe that. Every part of me is telling me that that’s not true. Ben just told me himself. Allie, I have to find him.

Allie: Ciara, what you have to do is you have to take care of yourself and your baby, okay? And that means that we need to hide out here until they find evan frears, because if he finds you, he will kill you and your unborn child. Do you understand that?

Ciara: Yeah. Yeah, I guess I do. But what I don’t understand is why the cops aren’t standing guard outside. Rafe said he would send some, so where the hell are they?

Susan: Oh, the devil! The devil! He has isolated ciara! I mean, he wants her and the baby all to himself.

Ben: Yeah, but ciara doesn’t know that. She doesn’t know that allie is possessed, so she trusts her. That’s why the devil, aka allie, is able to manipulate ciara into doing whatever the hell he wants her to do.

Susan: No, not if she is strong and determined like we know she is.

Ben: [Sighs] True, but she just has to hang on until I can get to her.

Susan: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. She sure as shootin’ will. You mark my word for that! And if that devil gets in our way, ben weston, we are gonna go right the heck around him! That’s what we’re gonna do, because we are gonna find your wife. I promise you. I promise you, because love– love will find a way. Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Abe: Sweetheart, I apologize.

TR: Lani, forgive me.

Lani: Whatever is going on between you two, I cannot have it going on in this room.

Abe: Understood.

[Cell phone buzzes]

TR: Oh, this is my west coast backer again. Look, I’m sorry, I have to take this. You hang in there, okay? I’m praying you for eli.

[Door shuts]

Abe: His west coast backer calls and he just leaves? His work is more important than being here with you.

Lani: Dad.

Susan: Oh, we need to think, think, think, and figure out how to get you and your spunky wife reconnected.

[Exhales sharply]

Ben: Susan.

Susan: Whoo! No, hold on. I’m just gonna get my little noodle working again.

Ben: No, I have an idea.

Susan: What? Hit me, then.

Ben: You remember how ciara and I have communicated psychically before, right? Like when everybody thought she was dead?

Susan: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember. Your wedding picture and the fortune cookie.

Ben: Yeah, but also when she was trapped in that glass room and she was being held prisoner, we had the same dream at the same time. I was romeo and she was juliet, and she used lines from the play to reach out to me and message me to tell me that she was alive and I needed to find her.

Susan: Okay. Do you have that play? ‘Cause this thing isn’t working.

Ben: Of course.

Susan: Okay! Well, don’t just stand there, romeo. Go fetch it.

[Sighs]

Allie: Actually, the cops did come by. Two cops.

Ciara: What? How did I not know this?

Allie: You were asleep.

Ciara: Then why didn’t you wake me up?

Allie: There was no reason to; they didn’t have any new information.

Ciara: No new information? Allie, they must have said something.

Allie: Just that they have an apb out on evan.

Ciara: Oh, so you’re telling me that we are still in serious danger and the cops just left us?

Allie: No, no. They are down at the dock, okay? It’s the only way onto the island, and they’re keeping a watch so that no one can come hurt you.

Ciara: Okay, well, I want to talk to them. I just heard ben’s voice. I know he’s alive and I need to find him.

Allie: Okay, the cops made it very clear that leaving is not an option. For your safety and for your baby’s safety, you need to stay here.

Ciara: Damn it.

Allie: Hey, ciara? Hey, you really need to calm down, so how about– how about we do some of your lamaze breathing, okay?

Ciara: [Exhales sharply] I was supposed to do all that with ben. He was supposed to be my birthing coach. Allie, I need him. My baby needs him. I miss him so much.

Allie: Hey. Well, you’re not alone, ciara. You have me. I’ll be your birthing coach. And I’ll be so honored to do it, to help bring this precious baby boy into the world.

Paulina: So you’re saying to me all that exorcism did was to get the devil out of marlena? It didn’t get rid of him once and for all?

Chanel: Apparently not.

Paulina: Oh, all the more reason for you not to go anywhere near those evil twins. I don’t want satan jumping into you next.

Chanel: Mama, please. There are more important things to worry about right now. Allie, she-she took ciara.

Paulina: What? What do you mean “took”?

Chanel: Kidnapped. Abducted. Tricked into leaving town. They’re gone and no one knows where they went, but we do know that the devil wants ciara’s baby.

Paulina: Oh, lord, no.

Chanel: Yeah. Johnny– oh, god, I feel so bad for him– he went looking for them. Maybe I should see if I could help him.

Paulina: Oh, no. Didn’t I just tell you that you got to stay away from those two? Now, look, you’re not going anywhere near that mess. Let’s just go get some coffee, and you can tell me the rest of this insane story.

TR: I will get the money. I know I said I’d have it by now, but it won’t be long. Next week at the latest. You have my word. Hello? Hello? Damn.

[Sighs] What the hell are you doing back here? Okay, snacks and popcorn are gonna be expensive.

Abe: Look, I am so sorry, lani. I-I know I should keep my opinions to myself. Ray is your biological father, and he has every right to be here.

Lani: Still, dad, I– I understand your concerns about him. And why wouldn’t you have them, given what you know about the man? For years, he abused paulina and drugs. But, dad, since eli’s shooting, he has been great. He’s been here every day. He’s been helping out with the kids. Don’t worry. I would never leave jules and carver alone with him. But they are his grandchildren.

Abe: Well, they’re mine too. I mean, you can tell me not to worry all you want, but–

Lani: Dad, I know. I know tr’s history, okay? And I will keep my guard up, but honestly, I do not think that he’s a threat anymore. Look, he’s trying so hard to prove that he’s become a different man.

Abe: I don’t think that’s possible. I know from kate and nicole, who had experiences with abusers, that men like that rarely change.

Lani: And my experience as a cop tells me the same thing. But rarely is not never. What if tr is the exception?

Abe: And what if he’s not?

TR: If you think you’re gonna shoot your mouth off to lani again–

Beth: I’m not here to see lani. I’m here to see a doctor.

TR: You can’t be seen like this!

Beth: You think I want to be? I spent the entire day in my room trying to bear it, waiting for my ears to stop ringing, my eye to stop throbbing, for it to stop hurting just to breathe. I finally had to come get some painkillers. I’m on my way back to the motel now.

TR: Not good enough. You need to leave town. Go back to la.

Beth: Excuse me?

TR: I want you on the next flight out.

Beth: But what about the movie? I’ll look fine by then.

TR: The hell you will! You can’t do a movie looking like that!

Beth: You did this to me.

TR: [Scoffs] You’re lucky that’s all I did.

Ciara: Allie, I appreciate your offer, I really do, but ben and I have been practicing for months. He was supposed to be my birthing coach. I really– I don’t think I can have this baby without him.

Ben: “If I profane with my unworthiest hand…”

Ciara: Did you hear that?

Allie: Did I hear what?

Ciara: I just– I just heard something. Didn’t you?

Allie: No.

Ciara: Wait. I hear it again.

Ben: “This holy shrine.”

Susan: Keep going.

Ben: “The gentle fine is this.”

Ciara: [Gasps] I definitely heard it that time, allie. It was ben’s voice. He was reciting “romeo and juliet.”

Allie: There’s no way.

Ben: “My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.”

Ciara: Oh, my god. It is you. It’s really you, ben. You’re here. The world is full of make or break moments.

Ben: The next line is juliet’S.

Susan: Anything?

Ben: Maybe it’s not working.

Ciara: “Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much.”

Ben: Oh, my god. Ciara, I can hear you.

Ciara: “Which mannerly devotion shows in this? For saints have hands that pilgrims’ hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmers’ kiss.”

Ben: [Exhales sharply] Ciara, wherever you are, you must be hearing and seeing me too. I am alive, baby. Please don’t give up on me. I’m alive, and I’m gonna find you.

Ciara: I believe you, ben.

Ben: Baby, please tell me where you are.

Ciara: I’m right here, baby. I can reach out and touch you.

[Dramatic music]

[Exhales sharply] No!

[Sinister music]

Abe: Ray is always on his best behavior around you and paulina, but I don’t buy it. I don’t think he’s truly reformed.

Lani: His most recent girlfriend, beth howard, she even vouched for him. She said that he never used drugs or laid a hand on her the entire time that they were together.

Abe: What is it?

Lani: Remember when beth came by to visit me the other day?

Abe: She brought flowers.

Lani: Yeah, and after you left, she–she said she had something to tell me. I sort of forgot about it, but now–

Abe: Does it have something to do with ray?

Lani: I don’t know. We got interrupted, and then she left, and… I never found out what it was.

Abe: Maybe you should.

Beth: What are you gonna do to me that you haven’t already done? Shoot me, like you shot eli?

TR: Shut up! I told you I had nothing to do with that.

Beth: And you also told everybody that you weren’t doing drugs and you weren’t beating women.

TR: You deserve what I did to you. You broke our agreement.

Beth: So what happens now? I go back to la and you propose to paulina?

TR: And she says yes. Everything is working out exactly as planned with paulina.

Beth: What if she starts asking questions? Are you gonna kill her? Hell, you almost killed me just for being in the same room with your daughter.

TR: Keep your voice down.

Beth: Like I said, paulina price is no fool. She is not gonna let you get away with robbing her blind.

TR: [Scoffs] Don’t you worry about paulina. Worry about what’s going to happen to you if you stick around salem and anybody sees you like this. Let me spell it out for you, beth. If you show your face around town again or talk to anybody–anybody– about what I did, I’ll kill you. Get it?

Beth: Got it. I’m leaving.

[Tense music]

Paulina: Ray? Isn’t that your ex who just got on that elevator? The lows of bipolar depression

Paulina: That was the woman you used to date, right?

TR: Beth. Yes, that was her.

Paulina: Oh, well, I only saw her from the back, so I wasn’t sure. What was she doing here?

TR: Looking for me. She decided to drop out of the movie and go back to california.

Paulina: Just like that?

TR: Just like that.

Beth: Well, I need to be on the first flight to la, so a layover is fine. So, I’m booked then? Great, thanks.

[Cell phone ringing] Hello?

Lani: Hi, beth. It’s lani, eli grant’s wife.

Beth: Why are you calling me?

Lani: The other day when you came by the hospital, you-you said you had something to tell me. I’d like to know what it is.

Ciara: It’s okay.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Taylor: Hey. I can’t imagine the pain you’re in.

Steffy: I can’t believe he’s gone. He’s never gonna walk through the door again. A god, how can that be true? The last time I was in this house, so was finn, you know, filling it with love and laughter, and now he’s gone. And I can’t do anything about it, except– except try to find the monster who took him from me.

Taylor: And sweetheart, you’ll remember who shot you and finn when you’re ready.

Steffy: Oh my god!

Oh my god!

There’s so much blood!

Sheila: Oh, what have

I done? I didn’t–

I didn’t see him.

I didn’t know–

I didn’t know he was here.

Baby!

Steffy: Your only son.

Sheila: I didn’t know–

I didn’t know he was here.

[ Knocking on door ]

Deacon: Hey, sheila? Sheila, it’s me, come on, open up. Sheila! Sheila, come on, open up.

[ Knocking on door ] Sheila, please–

Sheila: I’m here. I– what are you doing?

Deacon: I wanted to make sure that you didn’t do something awful. Something that couldn’t be taken back.

Quinn: Hey, you busy?

Carter: Uh, never too busy for you.

Quinn: Okay, okay. Question for you.

Carter: Mm hm.

Quinn: Do you prefer a, or b?

Carter: Hm.

Carter: A.

Quinn: Mm! Tell me why.

Carter: The colors are more vibrant in those stones.

Quinn: Exactly what I was thinking. Very good eye, and thank you for confirming my own, exceptional good taste.

Carter: Heh, anytime.

Quinn: Mm hm. What?

Carter: Uh, I’m just curious. How did things go with eric last night?

Paris: Hey.

Zende: Hey. Um, you okay? What’s going on?

Quinn: I don’t know if I should be discussing my relationship with eric, with you. I mean, that’s kinda what got us in trouble in the first place.

Carter: Mm, is that what I am? Trouble?

Quinn: Hah! Well, you certainly can be. Although, I think I got you beat in that department. I mean, I– I’m trouble, cubed. I’m trouble personified. Hehe, at least that’s what I’ve been told, most of my life.

Carter: I don’t see you that way.

Quinn: Well, of course not.

[ Tsk-ing ]

Carter: Speaking of trouble, I– I kinda think I am.

Quinn: Because of me?

Carter: No. No.

Quinn: Ah. Because of paris.

Zende: I can tell when something’s on your mind. You can share it with me. Whatever it is.

Paris: I’ve always loved that about you. Your sensitivity, how you pay attention. How you always encouraged me to speak my mind, and be open and honest with you, which is exactly what you deserve.

Zende: Uh oh, uh, I deserve honesty? About what?

Paris: About my feelings for you.

Steffy: Well, I’ve tried so hard to think back to what happened that night. I can’t remember anything specific. I just get– I get glimpses of things.

Taylor: Well, I know, sweetie, and that is, that is completely normal. You’ve experienced such a traumatic event, this is just your mind’s way of shielding you.

Steffy: No, I don’t want to be protected from the truth. I want to see the face of the monster who killed my husband.

Deacon: I brought you some food. You look terrible.

Sheila: Hah! Still as charming as ever, I see.

Deacon: Fine, come on, you know what I mean. Are you getting any sleep at all?

Sheila: Do you think losing finn is my karma? Because I have done some really terrible things in my past.

Deacon: This is what I know, not what I think. Finn died as a result of a– a cold-blooded, vicious, random attack that you had absolutely nothing to do with.

Sheila: Yeah. It’s just, uh… I really miss him. And I know I’m never going to see that beautiful face with these eyes ever again. There’s only one thing that can help ease this pain.

Deacon: What’s that?

Sheila: Hayes. I need to see my grandson. (Dana)it’s very difficult for the family

Quinn: I don’t get it. I mean, paris “appointed” herself judge and jury, when she found out about our affair, and told brooke, and completely blew our lives apart. And let’s not forget that, uh, she’s the sister of your ex-fiance. So, why would you want to be with her?

Carter: You know, quinn, when you put it that way…

Quinn: Right?

Carter: I guess I was a bit on the rebound. You’d just gone back to eric, shutting down my hopes for a future with you, and I was crushed.

Quinn: So, she took advantage of you?

Carter: No. No, she did not. No, we just– we just happened, and it was wrong, because she was still seeing zende, and that should have made her off-limits, especially after what happened with you, but quinn, this– this also happened because of you. It was like I– I needed to forget about us long enough to heal.

Quinn: But things are completely over between the two of you?

Carter: Yeah. Thankfully, zende is none the wiser.

Zende: You want to talk feelings, I’m your guy.

Paris: Well, you’re incredible, you’re sweet, you’re funny. You’re thoughtful, and one day, you’re gonna own the fashion world.

Zende: Eh, from your mouth…

Paris: No doubt, and there’s no one that’s more deserving than you. I mean, you’re an amazing guy, zende. We’ve been through a lot together.

Zende: Um, ah… uh, wait a minute, uh, why is this starting to feel like– are you ending this between us?

Steffy: Ugh, if I could just see the shooter’s face, then I would just– I would make them answer me for taking my husband away. Ugh, why can’t I remember?

Taylor: Maybe, because you’re still in recovery. You will remember. Your memory will come back. It will. And you’ll remember who did this horrible thing.

Sheila: You know it is so unfair. Li wouldn’t even let me say a final goodbye to finn. And steffy won’t let me anywhere near hayes. He is the only connection I still have to my son.

Deacon: Sheila, it’s only a matter of time before steffy remembers who pulled the trigger that night. Once that mystery is solved, once they arrest whoever did that, maybe then, she’ll be able to hear you, but I’m telling you, going over there now is a mistake.

Sheila: Yeah, well, thank you! Thank you so much for the good advice, my dear friend. But hayes in my grandson, and I need to see him. Facing steffy might be the risk I have to take. Hi, my name is cherrie.

Zende: So maybe you better catch me up. I know that we decided to pull things back a bit, keep it casual, see other people, but I still thought there was a connection between us.

Paris: Always.

Zende: Uh, yeah, okay, so, um, I guess, I– I misread something here. I never gave up on a future with you, paris, but it doesn’t sound like you want the same thing.

Paris: I– I don’t know how to explain it. It just, somewhere down the line, my feelings changed–

Zende: Hey, hey. Message received. Loud and clear.

Paris: I’m sorry, zende.

Zende: Hey, I don’t regret a single moment I spent with you. I’m grateful that we got to spend any time together, at all. I do have one question, though.

Paris: Sure.

Zende: Is this about something missing between us? Or, is there someone else?

Carter: When I ended things with paris, I said the same thing to her. I told her to go forward with zende.

Quinn: Only, she doesn’t feel the same way.

Carter: No, she’s not in love with him. Don’t get me wrong, she has deep feelings for him, how could she not?

Quinn: Right, right. I mean, come on. He ticks all the boxes, right? I mean, he’s handsome, he– he’s an up and coming fashion designer, he’s warm, he’s caring, he want’s to settle down and have a family, I mean come on, what more could paris want? Look, I don’t like her, and yeah, I’m totally judging her, I get that, but I can also understand why she would fall in love with you.

Steffy: Whoever killed finn, they’re out there, just walking around. They should be in prison. I have the answer, it’s in my head, I just…

[ Sighing ] I can’t seem to get to it.

Taylor: But you will.

Steffy: How? How? Do I have to be patient? It’s like, some kind of trigger?

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah. A trigger could happen when you least expect it.

[ Hayes fussing on monitor ]

Steffy: I’m gonna check on him.

Taylor: Okay. Let me know if you need anything.

[ Knocking on door ] Sheila.

Sheila: I– I’m sorry. I know that I should have called, but I– I was afraid with warning steffy wouldn’t let me in. I– please, taylor, you just have to help me. I– I… I want to see my grandson. Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Paris: Honesty is the least you deserve from me. So, yes. There is someone. A man you know very well.

Zende: Who?

Paris: Carter. I have feelings for carter.

Quinn: I know what it’s like to be alone with you. To be up close and personal with that insane charisma and off the charts sexual energy. I– ooh, I mean, I am a grown-ass married woman, and I lost my mind.

[ Laughing ]

Carter: Well, you weren’t the only one.

Quinn: I’m just saying I am familiar with your superpowers.

Carter: Quinn, stop!

Quinn: I can totally understand why paris fell head over heels in love with you. But I know you, carter. And I learned to hear what it is you don’t say.

Carter: What do you think that is?

Quinn: You may have gotten caught up in this whole paris thing, but you don’t feel about her the way she feels about you. Mm hm, am I right? Am I right? You don’t even have to say it. I know I’m right.

Taylor: Sheila, you should not have come by like this. Steffy doesn’t need any more stress.

Sheila: I– I know that it’s risky, and I don’t want to do anything that might set steffy off. But taylor, I lost finn too. Hayes is the only connection that I have left with him.

Taylor: I understand, but sheila, you can call me. Come in.

Sheila: Thank you. You– you know, li… shut me out. She wouldn’t even let me say a final goodbye to my son, and that tore my heart out. And now, I don’t– I don’t even– I don’t even want to open my eyes in the morning, knowing that he’s gone, every day, the endless days of knowing that I am never going to see finn’s beautiful face again, or even have the chance to make him smile.

Taylor: Sheila, you’re not thinking about harming yourself again, are you?

Sheila: No.

Taylor: Okay, good. Just remember, finn would not want that. I’m so sorry you lost your son, the– the pain is indescribable. But don’t make it worse by blaming yourself for something that wasn’t your fault.

Steffy: What?

Sheila: Hello, steffy.

Sheila: What is she doing here?

Taylor: She shouldn’t have come by like this, but she’s asked to see hayes.

Steffy: You know that’s not gonna happen.

Taylor: I do. I do, but I also understand why she’s here. She’s finn’s mother. Hayes is her grandson. Hayes is all she has left of her son.

Steffy: I get that, and I’m sorry. But that doesn’t mean my door’s open to sheila. She’s not allowed to see hayes. And you know it. So why exactly are you here?

Sheila: You’re right. This, this– uh, this was… a bad idea, I’m sorry. I’m gonna go. But you know, before I do, I want to tell you how terribly, terribly sorry I am, steffy. For your loss, and for mine.

Steffy: Wait! You’re not going anywhere, sheila.

Ashland: You really would never make a good poker player, would you? I mean, you just lay all your cards on the table for everybody to see.

Billy: Meaning?

Ashland: It’s abundantly clear that you’re still in love with Victoria. And it’s surprising to me that someone as smart as Lily hasn’t figured that out yet, but then again, maybe she has. Maybe she resents the fact that you keep barging in to protect your ex.

Billy: Lily and I are just fine. Thank you for your concern. And as far as Victoria, I am not worried about her ability to deal with you. She’s already proven that she can handle herself. My warning was directly to you for your own sake because you are playing with fire.

Ashland: You will never understand my relationship with Victoria. She’s not nearly as angry at me as you think she is.

Billy: Yeah, what about your ex-father-in-law? You know the one that stood there, watched you gasp for air while you were having a heart attack. And that was before he knew that you were lying about having cancer, screwing over his daughter. I’m pretty sure that you are on the top of his hit list right now, Ashland. And believe, it’s not a fun place to be.

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

Sally: Have you considered calling Victoria’s bluff? Because I find it hard to believe that she would give up on her dream job just because she has to share it with her smart, capable brother.

Adam: Have you met my sister?

Sally: Why is sneaking away to a hotel in the middle of the day so sexy?

Adam: Well, I think it is the juxtaposition of normal, mundane midday tasks with something amazing.

Sally: Mm-hmm, that was more of a rhetorical question, but thank you.

Billy: You’re up and around. That’s good to see.

Victoria: I’m walking, hooray.

Billy: Are you in pain?

Victoria: No, I — I am — I’m feeling okay. Guess I’m pretty lucky, all things considered.

Billy: Yeah. It’s tragic about Rey.

Victoria: I wish I hadn’t been out there driving on that road. Maybe things would’ve turned out differently.

Billy: You can’t think that way, Vick. It was an accident. It wasn’t your fault.

Victoria: Right. Many people have assured me of that.

Billy: Why were you out there on that road? That’s not your usual way home.

Victoria: I thought you said that you didn’t blame me, and now you’re asking me how I got myself into this predicament.

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Adam: Diane is alive? After all these years? Are you sure? Have you seen her?

Victor: Unfortunately, yes.

Adam: How in the hell did she pull this off? And where has she been all these years?

Victor: I don’t know the full story.

[ Knock on door ]

Adam: Why would she come back here?

Victor: She claims she wants to reunite with kyle. Who knows what her true motives are?

Sally: Um, hi. Is everything okay?

Adam: Someone we thought was dead a long time ago has just turned up alive and well.

Sally: I take it neither of you are fond of her?

Victor: Complicates matters. Since kyle now has married into my family.

Sally: Wow, so who exactly has risen from the dead?

Adam: Diane jenkins. Kyle’s mother.

Jack: Hey, how you doing?

Kyle: Seeing harrison always makes me feel better. He’s upstairs having a ball with his new bff traci.

Jack: Oh, I’ll bet he is. Traci has that effect on a lot of people.

Kyle: Such a relief knowing that he’s safe and sound and taken care of. Thank you and phyllis for spending time with him, too, while I’ve been getting my bearings.

Jack: Well, if I can speak for everyone else, it was our pleasure. We all love harrison and we all know how difficult it is for you to be face-to-face with your mother.

Kyle: I’m still no closer to making a decision about how to move forward.

Jack: Don’t rush that decision. Diane took years contemplating all of her possibilities before she sprung this on you. You take all the time you need.

[ Door opens ]

Nikki: Got your message. I assume you want to talk about my meeting with the logistics team.

Victoria: I actually want to talk about a different project — my father.

Nikki: Uh-oh. What happened after I left?

Victoria: Dad was trying to suggest that adam take ashland’s position as co-ceo. Of course, he framed the suggestion as a response to my supposedly fragile emotional state, which was infuriating.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] Sometimes your father isn’t the most tactful.

Victoria: It’s insulting.

Nikki: I agree. But maybe your anger should be directed at ashland.

Victoria: Well, at least ashland is no longer a threat, but you know who is — adam.

Nikki: I know you’re not gonna like hearing this, but adam is a big reason why ashland is no longer with the company.

Victoria: Yes, he used a half a billion dollars of dad’s money to make that happen, and even if it did work, that doesn’t entitle him to the co-ceo position.

Nikki: Well, none of us are happy about the lengths we had to go to to get rid of him. But the important thing is that our family is still a strong unit, and I want it to stay that way.

Victoria: You know what? Maybe you ought to save that speech for dad, since I left the ceo decision up to him.

Nikki: You did?

Victoria: I did. I told him that he could appoint as co-ceo if he wants to, but if he does, I’m out.

Billy: So I take it you’re staying here because victoria threw you out.

Ashland: Brilliant powers of deduction.

Billy: Why are you here at all? I mean, you’ve kicked to the curb at newman/locke, your marriage to victoria is being annulled. What’s the point?

Ashland: I have my reasons, none of which have anything to do with you.

Billy: Well, you better tell& me they don’t have anything to do with victoria.

Ashland: Again, none of your business.

Billy: I’m gonna need to insist that you stay the hell away from her.

Your mission:

Ashland: You really would never make a good poker player, would you? I mean, you just lay all your cards on the table for everybody to see.

Billy: Meaning?

Ashland: It’s abundantly clear that you’re still in love with victoria. And it’s surprising to me that someone as smart as lily hasn’t figured that out yet, but then again, maybe she has. Maybe she resents the fact that you keep barging in to protect your ex.

Billy: Lily and I are just fine. Thank you for your concern. And as far as victoria, I am not worried about her ability to deal with you. She’s already proven that she can handle herself. My warning was directly to you for your own sake, because you are playing with fire.

Ashland: You will never understand my relationship with victoria. She’s not nearly as angry at me as you think she is.

Billy: Yeah, what about your ex-father-in-law? You know the one that stood there, watched you gasp for air while you were having a heart attack. And that was before he knew that you were lying about having cancer, screwing over his daughter. I’m pretty sure that you are on the top of his hit list right now, ashland. And believe, it’s not a fun place to be.

Sally: So if this diane person is kyle’s mom, were she and jack married?

Adam: It never got there. She was married to my dad, though, twice.

Victor: Son, let’s not get into that, alright?

Sally: Well, it sounds interesting to me.

Adam: Well, she also dated nick.

Victor: Enough. Diane jenkins always was and always will be a dangerous person. And I wanted you to know that she’s in town and I wanted to warn you to stay away from her as far as you can. Lest she remind you of your connection with her and tries to wrangle something from you.

Sally: Wait, adam had a connection with her, too?

Adam: Not really. Look, I don’t want to have any contact with diane, so why don’t we drop that and we get back to your conversation with victoria?

[ Clears throat ] She didn’t seem very happy when she left here, so is there any chance that you were discussing me?

Victor: She’s not very fond of you, son.

Adam: I am aware.

Victoria: My brother is a snake, and from the moment that he agreed to come and work for me, he’s been looking for ways to undermine me. So appointing him co-ceo is just gonna make things worse.

Nikki: Your father sees things differently.

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] Yes. I know that, because he’s always had a soft spot for adam — or should I say a blind spot.

Nikki: Well, victor did take a risk setting adam up at newman media when nobody else thought it was a good idea. I have to admit that adam has been successful running that division and seems to have proven that he can be a reliable family member.

Victoria: Whenever it suits his purpose. Mom, are you making an argument for adam becoming co-ceo?

Nikki: Oh, no, not at all. I’m just stating the facts.

Victoria: Oh, gosh. I guess it’s pointless. I know dad is never gonna see adam the way that I see him. It’s never gonna happen. But…

Nikki: But what?

Victoria: But what if i agreed that I could use a co-ceo and then I hire someone that dad would have to concede is a far better choice?

Nikki: Good luck finding that person.

Victoria: I think I already have. I’m looking at her.

Jack: You know, if you need someone to run all of this by, I’m happy to be a sounding board.

Kyle: Appreciate that. And I will take you up on it at some point, but I’ve spent a lot of time talking about it today.

Jack: Wait, with whom?

Kyle: First traci, then mariah. Look, I ran into her while I was out, and I wasn’t planning on telling her what was going on, but then we started talking and I ended up spilling my guts.

Jack: I’m sure she’s as shocked as the rest of us are.

Kyle: Of course. It’s just so bizarre.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Jack: All the more reason for you to take your time. You have to get past your own shock in order to make a decision that could impact the rest of your life.

Kyle: I still have so many questions.

Jack: I know you do, son.

Kyle: Problem is, there’s really only one person who can answer them.

Jack: Would you like me to go with you?

Kyle: Mnh-mnh. I think my mother will be more forthcoming if it’s a one-on-one talk.

Jack: I agree. Good luck.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hello?

Ashland: Jack, it’s ashland. Can we meet? I have something important I’d like to discuss with you. I was on an antidepressant,

Adam: I don’t know why victoria continues to see me as a threat to her.

Victor: You don’t think you bear some responsibility for that? When you had the brilliant idea of paying ashland locke $500 million for him to get the hell out of our lives? It bought us some time, you know? But you did all that without consulting any of us. You did it behind victoria’s back, as well. And that she didn’t like.

Sally: Well, if adam had gone to her, she never would’ve gone along with it.

Victor: Probably not.

Adam: Okay, but in the end, we all worked together to neutralize ashland, right? Shouldn’t we continue to do that? Isn’t that what you want — a big, happy family working together?

Victor: You’re absolutely right, okay? Now, I encouraged her to assign you as co-ceo of the company.

Adam: Oh, I can only imagine how that went over.

Victor: She refused to entertain that idea. She said she’d rather resign than have you be co-ceo of newman/locke.

Nikki: I don’t know how to respond to your offer.

Victoria: Well, I hope that you will accept it. I mean, you are quite literally the only person that I trust to be on equal footing with me.

Nikki: Normally, I would be very flattered, but I don’t know how I feel about being a pawn in your game with your father. He’s gonna know what you’re up to.

Victoria: And that’s okay with me. I’m not trying to hide the fact that I want to thwart his plan to promote adam. And the brilliance of you becoming co-ceo is that, you know, dad will have to agree that you are the most qualified and the most experienced candidate. I mean, you’ve been my coo from the very beginning. You understand my vision. You support it. And most importantly, especially for dad, as far he’s concerned, you’re family.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] I was just saying I don’t want to see anymore strife among us. I certainly don’t want to be in the middle of it.

Victoria: You’re not really going to turn down my offer, are you?

Diane: Kyle. Please come in.

Kyle: Are you leaving?

Diane: Oh, I wasn’t planning to, but after our conversation, I thought it might be a while until I hear from you again, so I wanted to give you space.

Kyle: Mm.

Diane: Unless, of course, you’ve had a change of heart.

Kyle: I wouldn’t say that. And don’t read too much into this. I’m not here to declare my forgiveness or anything, but i have some questions. A lot of them.

Diane: Okay. I’m ready to answer any and all of them.

Kyle: They really all boil down to one. How can I know you’ve really changed?

Jack: Hey, there. I don’t have a lot of time. Dealing with a bit of a family situation at home. If my phone should ring, I may have to run.

Ashland: I appreciate you making the time at all.

Jack: I assume this is about harrison. You want to spend more time with him while he and kyle are in town.

Ashland: Sort of, yes. I take it you haven’t spoken to your brother or heard the news?

Jack: About what? Wait, don’t tell me your medical condition has taken a turn for the worse.

Ashland: No, no, that’s not the case. Um…uh, there will be some news surfacing about me soon, i think. Um…I have done some reprehensible things. They’ve come back to bite me. Nothing I don’t deserve, but i want to make sure that harrison is impacted as little as possible.

Jack: Why don’t we stop dancing around the subject and you just tell me what it is you’ve done?

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Want a worry-free

way to kill bugs?

Victoria: Now, before you say no, just try to envision yourself as co-ceo, because, oh, you would be brilliant. We already work well together, so that transition would be perfectly seamless. And you know what? You are always telling me that i take on too much and I work too many hours, so what better way for me to ease up than for you to just jump right in and take some of this work off of my plate.

Nikki: Honey, I know you would be happy to do that, but would you let me? Because I get the feeling that this would be a promotion in name only, just to fend off adam.

Victoria: No. Mother, this is a sincere offer. I would be so excited to partner with you. We would have so much fun.

Nikki: Well, I don’t know how much fun it’ll be once your father finds out.

Victoria: I think it is the greatest idea. And you know what? Dad is gonna kick himself that he didn’t think of it.

Nikki: Alright, okay. Before we even entertain this idea, we have to think about the possible repercussions.

Victoria: I have already done that. I have, and they’re all positive. Mom, it would only strengthen the company.

Nikki: Adam’s not gonna be happy. He thinks he deserves more responsibility, and your father agrees. So do we really want to create more family drama just as the news about ashland is about to break?

Victoria: I am not going to let adam’s potential hurt feelings dictate my decisions. My hope is that we can keep the reason for ashland’s departure from becoming public knowledge.

Nikki: Well, we’ve been able to keep it quiet so far, but very soon, it’s gonna get out. So shouldn’t we prepare for that by presenting a united front to the world?

Victoria: Yes, and that is exactly what we would be doing. Our partnership would be a partnership that would have longevity. Look, if I cave in and I agree to work with adam, mom, how long do you think that’s gonna last, really? He’s gonna be continually trying to sabotage me and I will be playing defense, and then the entire family will have to choose sides. And then it will create this warfare. It will be an absolute disaster for the family and for the business. You know I’m right, don’t you?

Sally: Have you considered calling victoria’s bluff? Because I find it hard to believe that she would give up on her dream job just because she has to share it with her smart, capable brother.

Adam: Have you met my sister?

Victor: The last thing we need right now is a public conflict over control of the company.

Adam: So what does that mean for me? That there’s no chance of advancement and all these ideas that I have to further the company’s success are just gonna die?

Victor: Son, think this through for a minute. Victoria was ceo of newman/locke when she brought you on board, alright? She still is. Nothing has changed. What you have to show her now is that you are loyal to her, that she can trust you, that you will work with her. You have to convince her of your ideas — your very good ideas.

Adam: Well, it looks like i have my work cut out for me.

Victor: You do.

Ashland: I lied to victoria and to everyone about my cancer diagnosis. I was never sick. I never had cancer.

Jack: What? Why would you —

Ashland: To speed things along. The newman/locke merger, my marriage to victoria.

Jack: That is horrifying.

Ashland: Yes, it is. And when I think back on my recklessness and my…my cruelty, I am disgusted with myself.

Jack: I couldn’t care less how you feel. What about victoria? She opened her heart to you. She let you into her family. She thought you were going to die. I have lived through the death of a spouse. I have some idea of the anguish, of all she was preparing for. For your sake. Only to find out this was a hoax?

Ashland: It wasn’t entirely a hoax. I genuinely fell in love with victoria.

Jack: I don’t want to hear this. I’m sure victoria doesn’t either.

Ashland: I have agreed to have my marriage annulled. I have agreed to walk away from the company. I’m doing everything I can to make this as easy on her as possible. I — [ Sighs ] Even though I know it’s too little, too late.

Jack: Boy, there is a colossal understatement. I hope you’re going back to new york or wherever, and stay out of her life forever.

Ashland: That’s part of why i wanted to talk to you. I didn’t want to leave town without seeing harrison, and I’m worried about how kyle and summer might react when they hear the news.

Jack: You damn well should be.

Diane: I don’t expect you to trust me or believe me — not now, maybe never. And if that’s the case, I’ll have to accept it because i brought it on myself. Kyle, I — I deceived you when you were growing up with what in my mind were good intentions. I just — I wanted you to see the kind and loving version of myself, the one that made you the center of my universe.

Kyle: It worked. I thought you were the best mom ever.

Diane: Yeah, and that’s why i was so angry with phyllis when you read that exposé she had written detailing my exploits.

Kyle: Yeah, to be honest, I’ve never been able to reconcile the two versions of you. This sweet, sensitive, incredible mom that I knew and the version of you that I read and heard about. Who blackmailed people, committed arson, and destroyed relationships and never seemed to care.

Diane: You are seeing both sides of me now — the good and the very, very bad. So go ahead, I’m — I’m an open book. Ask me anything. If you have type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Billy: The majority of my listeners will never cross paths with the so-called elite of the business world. Well, consider yourself lucky. I had a run-in today with a man who shall remain nameless, a mogul who seemingly has everything and yet he still wants more and more. And he lies and manipulates to get it. I mean…this guy takes and takes until he sucks everyone around him dry, as if it’s gonna make him feel more powerful. I mean, if you ask me, it’s like he doesn’t trust his own business acumen so he has to lie and deceive to get his upper hand, causing pain to everyone close to him. And he thinks he’s gonna get away with it. And who knows, maybe he will. But if he does, if wealth and power offers a person blanket immunity, is that not an indictment on all of us?

Adam: Well, that diane thing kind of threw me.

Sally: Yeah, it was pretty crazy. But nothing you haven’t heard before, right? Or experienced? You and diane have that in common, the whole used-to-be-dead thing.

Adam: Well, there were quite a few similarities between diane and the man that I used to be.

Sally: Do tell.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Another time. Right now I’m more focused on what dad told us about victoria. I miscalculated. I thought dad was gonna be ready to throw her in the penalty box for the mess that she created with ashland.

Sally: Yeah, but instead, victor feels protective of her. Though it does make sense to me after the accident. He almost lost her.

Adam: Yeah, well, that hit him pretty hard.

Sally: But on the bright side, victor seems to have your back. He was championing you to victoria, and winning him over was definitely not a given. That is a huge accomplishment in and of itself, so now you only have to win your sister over.

Adam: Sure, no problem. Victoria is very stubborn. It’s a newman trait.

Sally: Well, you are very charming and persuasive. So those must be newman traits, too.

Adam: Well, I’ll see how far they can take me. Wish me luck.

Sally: You won’t need it.

Ashland: Look, I — I know what you must think of me. My behavior has been abhorrent. Except in one area — I have been a good father to harrison.

Jack: Oh, have you? You lied to that little boy about being sick.

Ashland: Jack, there are two people in this world I love, period. Harrison and victoria. Now, my wife may never forgive me, but I can’t lose my son. I will do whatever it takes to keep that boy in my life.

Jack: And you want me to advocate on your behalf to kyle. Why would you think I would want to do that?

Kyle: What kind of work did you do on yourself in la? When we talked before, you mentioned therapy.

Diane: Oh, I got a whole bunch of it. Along with everything else under the sun. Oh, but I — I finally found a psychologist who called me out on my crap. She really forced me to look at myself, and she had zero patience for my excuses.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] How’d that go?

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Well, uh, terribly at first. I was offended and indignant, and that first year, I stormed out of my sessions in a huff more often than not. But somewhere inside of me, i knew that what she was saying was true. You know, I wasn’t a victim. I was a narcissist. I made everything about myself. And through a lot of self-realization, I realized that that had gotten me nowhere. I mean, none of the things that I was so desperate to get — money and power and attention and affection — had ever come to me. You know, instead, my behavior had left me…broke and anonymous, invisible, and, um… alone. And worst of all, it cost me the one pure unselfish joy I had ever known — my life with you. My beautiful son. It was crushing. But it was also the first step on a long, hard road that eventually brought me back here to you, to ask you for your forgiveness.

Kyle: I can appreciate what you’re saying and understand how difficult it is to admit. But what if all the work you did still doesn’t get you what you want? What if I say no? She’s feeling the power of listerine.

Ashland: Jack, you and I are both at an age where we’ve seen a lot of life. We are both mature enough to recognize that people are complicated. We can do admirable things in one aspect of our lives and despicable things in another. Nothing is black and white.

Jack: I have heard enough of this sick, twisted reasoning lately. I’m done with it. You find somebody else to make your case.

Ashland: Okay. I understand. I will talk to kyle directly.

Jack: No, no, no, I would recommend you not do that, trust me. Now is not a good time to go to kyle seeking forgiveness.

Diane: Nothing’s going to happen if you turn me down. I’ll go back to la and I’ll leave you alone.

Kyle: Really? After all the effort you made to reunite with me?

Diane: You matter to me more than anything. But I’ve learned what a mistake it is to try and force people to give me things I didn’t deserve. And it never worked anyway. So you don’t owe me a thing. I’m grateful that you were open enough to hear me out. And would I love it if you were willing to forgive me and I had a place in your life? Of course I would. And I would also love the chance to try to make up for some of the hurt and damage that i caused.

Kyle: I just don’t know if that’s possible.

Diane: I know.

Kyle: I-I-it’s not that i don’t want what you say you want. I do. You’re my mother. I’ve never stopped loving you, and I’ve missed you every day since you’ve been gone, but I’m still trying to figure out if the version of you that i remember ever actually existed or if it was just an act you were putting on because you needed adoration from someone who was too young to know better.

Diane: Kyle, you have to know that my love for you was never an act. It was the only good part of myself.

Kyle: I think…I’m willing to leave the door open wide enough to give you a chance to prove you are who you say you are.

Diane: Really?

Kyle: Yes. Please don’t go back to la.

Diane: Oh, kyle.

[ Knock on door ]

Adam: Hey. I don’t mean to intrude, but i was hoping that you had a minute to talk.

Victoria: For you, I’ll make the time.

Adam: [ Clears throat ] Um…dad filled me in on your conversation. So I wanted to come by and clear the air. First of all, I want you to know that I was surprised to learn that he asked you to promote me as co-ceo.

Victoria: Mm-hmm.

Adam: If I had known, i would’ve asked him to hold off until you and I could have a conversation.

Victoria: And what conversation would that me?

Adam: The one where we hash out if we can work together. One where I could convince you that I could make a good partner.

Victoria: Are you going to offer me $500 million of someone else’s money to give you the promotion?

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Look, what I want to say is the company has almost doubled in size since the acquisition with ashland’s business holdings, and your workload is gonna increase by that much. You’re gonna need some help. I know that we’ve never been close. I know that you don’t trust me. No matter how much I try to support you and the family. There is just a whole lot of history in the way. I’m here to see what I can do to change that. And to show you that us working together could be a positive thing.

Nikki: I just had a very surprising conversation with victoria.

Victor: Oh. Surprising? Amazing how she keeps us always on the edge, doesn’t she?

Nikki: She does. Brace yourself, because you will find this very surprising as well.

Victor: What?

Nikki: She offered me a promotion.

Victor: Wait a minute, there’s only — only one title ahead of the one you have right now.

Nikki: That’s right. She offered me the co-ceo job. And I accepted.

Victor: Really? From the very first touch.

Victoria: You know, it doesn’t really matter how or when dad pitched me the idea of promoting you. I — I was never going to agree to it. However, I did listen to what you had to say, and you are right. My workload is going to increase. I actually might need some help now that ashland’s out of the picture.

Adam: Well, if the title thing is tripping you up, i don’t — I don’t need it, at least not now. I’m just happy to pitch in and look at this as an opportunity to see how well we could work together if we tried.

Victoria: Oh, I’m sorry if i gave you the wrong idea. I didn’t mean to imply that i needed your help. I’ve decided to take on a partner. Someone that I can trust.

Adam: You’re going to hire someone new as your co-ceo?

Victoria: Yes. In fact, I already have.

Adam: Who?

Victoria: Well, the only logical choice. My mother.

Nikki: I know you wanted adam for the job, but just think about it for a minute before you respond. My stepping into the position makes a lot of sense.

Victor: Mm-hmm. Very smart move on victoria’s part.

Nikki: Of course, you and i both know that it was the strategic move to keep adam out, but I will do an excellent job.

Victor: Yes, my baby, I’m sure you will. And you will lend this company the stability that it needs right now, desperately.

Nikki: So you won’t fight victoria on this?

Victor: No. If I impose my will on her, she will be very upset, and if i prefer adam over her, I’ll never hear the end of it.

Nikki: I’m happy you can see that.

Victor: Madame ceo.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: This makes me very happy. My beautiful wife running the company. Oh, boy.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ] I don’t think you have to worry.

Victor: I’m not.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: Because I’ll keep on looking over your shoulder. You know that.

Nikki: Like always.

Victor: Always.

Jack: How did it go? How was your talk with your mom?

Kyle: I’m not sure. I’m still conflicted. I threw a lot of questions at her, and she gave me what seemed to be honest answers.& It was intense. Um, dad…I told her I would give her a chance to prove herself to me.

Robert: Oh.

Anna: Got it, ha-ha.

Robert: Ah.

Anna: Alright, let’s see what streaming on Hulu.

[ Television turns on, suspenseful music playing ]

Robert: But why bother when you know what you’ve got with a classic?

Anna: It’s called expanding your horizons.

Robert: It’s called wasting time.

Anna: Oh, gosh. You’re such a stick in the mud.

Robert: Yeah, and you love me for it. No, I don’t.

Anna: Uh, yeah, you do. I remember, it’s written somewhere.

[ Television beeping ]

Anna: [ Laughs ] Look at us. Can you?

Robert: Hmm.

Anna: We used to be facing down deadly assassins. Now we’re fighting over what to watch on tv.

Robert: There is a term for that.

Dull.

Robert: Nah, bliss.

Anna: Mm, yeah, you might be right.

Robert: Mm.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Anna: No.

Robert: That’s gotta be trouble at this hour.

Anna: Oh, I could do with some trouble.

Robert: Uh-huh. Turn the telly off.

[ Television turns off, music stops ]

Anna: [ Chuckles ] Come on. After you. Out of the way. Let’s see who this is. Oh.

Felicia: Is this a bad time?


Nina: Hey.

Phyllis: Hey. Is everything okay? Um… you sounded strange on the phone.

Nina: Well, it’s been an evening. Uh, Willow Tait’s mot– oh, what am I talking about? You know Harmony.

Phyllis: Formerly known as Lorraine?

Nina: Yeah. Well, she was rushed to the E.R. There was some kind of accident?

Phyllis: Oh, no. I hope she’s all right.

Nina: Yeah, so do I.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] We don’t need a reminder, but… life is so short. We have to grab every bit of joy from it that we can.

Nina: Yeah.


 

Frank: Everything okay, boss?

Sonny: Yeah. Yeah. Somebody reminded me tonight to carpe diem.

Frank: Seize the day. Good advice.

Sonny: Yeah. Good night, Frank.

Frank: Good night, sir.


 

Michael: I’ve been studying up on Paris, preparing for our trip. Yes, we’re going to go to the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, but did you know that there is a museum solely dedicated to Monet?

Willow: Really?

Michael: Yeah. It’s on the outskirts of the city, and, uh, there is this huge, beautiful park right next to it. So we gotta go there. You know, it sounds like it rivals Central Park.

Willow: Then you know who would love it? Wiley.

Michael: Oh, yeah. Well, only if there’s dogs, because nothing is cool in Wiley’s world unless there’s dogs.

Willow: Right.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Sasha: Willow. Uh, we’d like to wait with you, but—but if you don’t want us here, then we can—

Willow: No, no, of course I want you here. Yeah.

Sasha: Okay.

Willow: My mom’s awake, so that’s something.

Sasha: She is? That means that there’s hope, right?

Michael: There’s always hope.

Carly: Harmony, you’re not making any sense. Do you know where you are? It’s Carly. You’re in the hospital. You were in an accident. Do you remember?

Harmony: [ Gasping ] Willow.

Carly: Willow’s here. Do you need me to get her?

[ Monitors beeping ]

Harmony: You need… you need to protect her. No matter the cost.

Carly: Okay, of course. Of course I’ll protect Willow. From what?


 

Anna: I’m going to open a bottle of wine, and then we can stream, like, the hottest new show on Hulu.

Robert: Or better still, we have a few shots of single malt scotch and enjoy Bogie and Bacall.

Felicia: Would it be okay if we skip movie night?

Anna: What’s happened?

Felicia: Well, it’s such a beautiful night. Why don’t we go, like, take a look at the stars?

Anna: Okay.

Robert: Okay. Start talking.

Felicia: Is that the big dipper or the little dipper? I never can tell.

Anna: Alright, Miss Stargazer. What’s going on?


 

Phyllis: Yoo-hoo.

Nina: Oh, thank you.

Phyllis: Let me guess — you saw Sonny today.

Nina: Is it that obvious?

Phyllis: To me.

Nina: I don’t know, Phyllis. For so long, it seemed impossible.

Phyllis: And now?

Nina: And now… maybe there’s a way forward for Sonny and me. We just have to be brave enough to take it.

[ Door opens ]

Valentin: Apologies. The sign in that window says “open.” Is this a private party?

Nina: I think there’s room for one more.

Phyllis: If it’s okay with you, it’s okay with me.

Nina: Valentin, have a seat.

Valentin: Phyllis Caulfield. How are you?

Phillis: Good. And you?

Valentin: Maintaining.

Phyllis: Tea?

Valentin: I’ll take something stronger — bourbon, neat.

Phyllis: Coming right up.

Valentin: We meet again.

Nina: So we do.


Sonny: Hey, Frank.

Frank: Yes, sir.

Sonny: I heated up, uh, some of these, uh, meatballs. Uh, you gotta try one.

Frank: [ Sighs ] I appreciate it, sir, but —

Sonny: No, just come on in.

Frank: I-I can’t leave my post, sir. I’m sorry.

Sonny: Okay. I understand, but can you just — just try one?

Frank: As you wish, sir.

Sonny: For your boss?

Frank: Definitely. Mmm. Hm. That’s delicious.

Sonny: [ Laughs ] Told you.

Frank: Mmm.

Sonny: Right?

Frank: You sure you’re okay, boss?

Sonny: Yeah. Yeah. Just, I’m, uh… hard — you know, can’t sleep. But I’ll be fine.

Frank: Thank you, sir.

Sonny: Alright.

[ Door Closes ]

Sonny: [ Sighs ] [ Grunts ] [ Grunts ] [ Exhales deeply ] [ Sighs ]

Lenny: About time you arrive.


 

Harmony: [ Strained ] I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have attacked you, but I didn’t… [ Strained gasp ]

Carly: Harmony, I’m fine.

Harmony: I almost killed you.

Carly: But you didn’t.

Harmony: You’re the only one — [ Gasps] You and Michael are the only ones… and I almost ruined it. I ruin everything.

Carly: No, you don’t. You didn’t ruin Willow. She’s a beautiful young girl.

Harmony: I was so selfish.

Carly: Calm down. You need to calm down.

Harmony: I just [Gasps] Wanted to repair what I’d broken with Willow, and I should have told the truth… when I had the chance.


 

Felicia: There will be a lunar eclipse at the end of the month.

Anna: Good to know.

Felicia: Some call it a blood moon. There are some cultures where it’s considered a bad omen for pregnant women.

Anna: Well, that counts us out.

[ Crickets chirping ]

Anna: Oh, my God. You’re not…?

Mac: We just enjoyed being around Bailey so much. You know, it’s all the fun and none of the responsibility.

Robert: Except to keep the child safe and unharmed while the mother’s gone.

Mac: You know what I’m saying.

Robert: Yeah, I know what you mean. Being a granddad is great. Play with the kid, hand it back, go to bed.

Mac: Unless you don’t.

Robert: Uh, I’m not following.

Mac: What if… instead of the granddad, you’re the actual dad? What if you do the parenthood thing all over again?

Felicia: No! I’m not pregnant.

Anna: Oh, because for a second there, I thought —

Felicia: I think Mac wants a baby.

Robert: Will you stop talking in riddles and just get to the point?

Mac: I think Felicia wants a baby.

Robert: [ Laughing ]


 

Nina: Nice tan.

Valentin: [ Chuckles ] Thanks.

Nina: Wherever you’ve been, it looks good on you, Valentin. So, are you fully recovered? Back to your old self?

Valentin: Hope not. I’d like to think I’ve done some growing.

Nina: I’d like to think that, too. About me. Not about you. Well, maybe a little about you, too. How’s Charlotte?

Valentin: She’s wonderful.

Nina: Yeah. She seems like she’s really enjoying boarding school.

Valentin: You’ve been in touch with her?

Nina: Yeah, I’ve talked to her. And I have to admit, I was a little surprised. I didn’t think you had it in you to part with your little girl.

Valentin: It wasn’t easy. After peter abducted Charlotte, I wanted her far away from Port Charles and Victor.

Nina: Yeah, but wasn’t Victor the one that dropped her off at school? I’m only saying that because Charlotte made it a point to say she wished it had been you.

Valentin: I was laid up recuperating. I figured, at the very least, I could trust Victor with the drop off.

Nina: Don’t forget about me. I’m always here. Especially when it comes to Charlotte.

Valentin: I like that. And I’ll keep that in mind.


 

Sonny: Lenny?

Lenny: That’s right.

Sonny: This is the firehouse where I used to dance with Nina.

Lenny: Sure is. And once again, your wardrobe is lacking. Good thing I came prepared. It’s yours. Might as well take it. Oh. Perfect fit.

Sonny: [ Chuckles ] This is not real. I-I-I can’t be here. Is this…?

Lenny: Oop, oop. Give me one good reason.

Sonny: First of all, you’re dead, Lenny.

Lenny: Look who’s talking. When you crawled out of that river, weren’t you a goner? A funeral thrown for you back home and everything?

Sonny: Yeah, that was different.

Lenny: All depends on how you look at it. And it looks to me like you could use a stiff one. What’s your poison these days, Mike?

Sonny: Club soda.

Lenny: Come again?

Sonny: Oh, things have changed since the last time I saw you.

Lenny: Good thing I’ve got nothing but time. Why don’t you start from the beginning, when you went back to Port Charles?


Willow: Thank you guys for being here. It means a lot.

Michael: We wouldn’t be anywhere else.

Sasha: We love you.

Brando: And if there’s anything that we can do, at all…

Willow: Trust me, you’re doing it.

Carly: I get it. I really do. I was raised by my adoptive mother, but it wasn’t kept a secret. Harmony, the longer you take to say it out loud, the harder it’s going to be to say it.

Harmony: If I had just been brave enough, it wouldn’t have gone this far.

Carly: You mean with Neil?

Harmony: No. If I had just told the truth… there would have been more time. Things would have been different, but now it’s gone too far. And Willow isn’t safe with her. And now Willow… can never know.


 

Anna: Look, Bailey is the most adorable little baby, and I can completely understand Mac wishing to have one exactly like her, but —

Felicia: maybe it’s more than just wishing.

Anna: You think he’s serious about having another child?

Felicia: I don’t know.

Anna: Or adopting one?

Felicia: I mean, we haven’t gotten that far yet, and I’m not even sure what he’s saying. I’m — I’m just — I’m getting this vibe.

Anna: What about your vibe?

Felicia: What?

Anna: Well, I mean, Mac may want to raise another child, but do you want to, really?

Robert: Okay. Now, have we got that all out of our system?

Mac: Thank you.

Robert: Good. Because it’s my turn. I got a story. This is about an old man who becomes a father. Except he thinks that the diaper that needs changing is his own.

Mac: Ha-ha.

Robert: Hey, seriously. I’ll never forget the fact that you raised my little girl at a time that I couldn’t.

Mac: Helping to raise Robin was one of the ultimate joys of my life, and I will always think of Maxie and Georgie as mine. But Felicia and I, we never — we never were able to bring up a kid together.

Robert: W-wait, wait. This isn’t just Felicia? You want this, too?


 

Sonny: I still can’t believe that Carly and I are divorced. I thought we would last, you know, until…

Lenny: “until death do us part”?

Sonny: [ Chuckles ]

Lenny: Mm. Take it from me — death is easy compared to divorce. Phyllis can still put flowers on my grave, think of me when they’re playing our song, remember the two of us at our best, and not our worst.

Sonny: I envy her that.

Lenny: You have kids? How are they taking it?

Sonny: Well, uh, they’re young. Donna and Avery, you know, they’re a bit confused, but they miss Carly. But Carly’s really good at seeing them as much as possible.

Lenny: They’ll be all right.

Sonny: My son, who’s having a big problem with it, he’s grown up, but it’s — it’s put a strain on our relationship.

Lenny: What’s his name?

Sonny: Michael.

Lenny: Michael. I like that name. Is he in the “family business”?

Sonny: He wanted to be at some point, but I — I shut it down. And now, forget about it. He don’t even… he don’t even want any part of me or my life.

Lenny: Don’t give up on him. That’s an order.

Sonny: No, I would never give up on my son. But… he’s given up on me.

Lenny: What, just because you’re not with his mother anymore?

Sonny: That’s part of it.

Lenny: And what’s the other part?

Sonny: Nina.


 

Nina: [ Laughs ] Really?

Valentin: She’s already made the equestrian team. You should ask her about it next time you talk to her.

Nina: Oh, I definitely will. And I am truly impressed. I mean, I’m sure that the competition was fierce. An elite European boarding school?

Valentin: An elite European boarding school where the students not only ride, but they have their own string of expensive horses.

Nina: Fancy. Exactly my point. And she rode one of the horses at the school and she still made the team! Your daughter is a very talented rider, a true competitor.

Valentin: No argument there.

Nina: Okay. Now out with it.

Valentin: Out with what?

Nina: How badly do you miss her?

Valentin: Desperately. I miss her desperately.

Nina: Oh. Is there, like, a parents’ weekend or something like that coming up?

Valentin: I don’t know. I hope so. I’ll have to check the, uh, school website.

Nina: And it must have been really hard for you after everything that happened with Bailey.

Valentin: Yeah, I loved her.

Nina: I know you did.

Valentin: But I’ve come to appreciate that Brook Lynn did what she had to do. It was the right thing to protect Maxie’s daughter from Peter.

Nina: But it’s painful. I can see it in your eyes. You know that I know what it’s like to lose a child. But it’s even more painful when it turns out that she was never yours.


 

Sasha: [ Sniffles ]

[ Pill case snaps shut ]

Sasha: Do you even realize… if you would have taken one of these and they found it in your system? No. You have been given a second chance. Don’t blow it.

Sasha: [ Inhales sharply ]

[ Toilet flushes ]

[ Knock on door ]

Brando: Sasha? You okay?

[ Knock on door ]

Sasha: Yeah. I’ll be right there.

Willow: God, I’m just so aware of it now.

Michael: Of what?

Willow: All the time I kept my mom at arm’s length. Not that she didn’t deserve to be, though it was always more about protecting myself than it was about punishing my mom.

Michael: No, Willow, you had every right to want to distance yourself.

Willow: But now it’s just staring me in the face. My mom could be dying, and I can, like, feel it on my heart, all the time I could have spent with her, all the things I could have said to her. I know I made the right decision for myself back then.

Michael But you still wish you could get that time back.

Willow: So much.

Carly: Who can never know? Willow can never know that she’s adopted?

Harmony: She loves too much, too hard. She’s obsessive and possessive. She’ll try to take her away from Michael. She — she’s dangerous.

Carly: Are you talking about Willow’s biological mother? Do you know who she is?

Harmony: She’s… she’s bad for Willow, and Willow knows it. She hates her.

Carly: Willow knows this person?

Harmony: She was… one of two. My Willow, she had another half.

Carly: Had another half? Was Willow a twin?

Harmony: Nelle…

Carly: Nelle? Oh, my god. Nina is Willow’s biological mother?


 

Harmony: [ Strained ] You need to protect her. Nina’s love will smother her. Please, Carly.

[ Monitors alarming ]

Harmony: Please.

Carly: We’ll take care of her, I promise you. Willow will be okay; I promise you that.

Harmony: [ Hyperventilating ]

[ Monitors alarming ]

TJ: Carly, move. Ms. Miller? No pulse.

Amy: Pads are ready.

TJ: Charge.

[ Paddles whine ]

Nurse: Charging loaded.

TJ: Clear.

[ Monitors continue alarming ]

TJ: One, two, three, four… five, six, seven, eight…

Amy: I’m going to get the ambu bag ready.


 

Valentin: You know I will always regret what I’ve done to you — using Sasha to manipulate your emotions to win your heart back.

Nina: Well, the irony is, you already had my heart.

Valentin: I know.

Nina: But now I can see that your intentions were good.

Valentin: You can?

Nina: Yeah. You just wanted to give me the… the one thing that I was missing in my life. It’s a beautiful sentiment.

Valentin: Poorly executed.

Nina: Oh, poorly executed.

Valentin: And, ironically, Nelle was in town the whole time.

Nina: It’s crazy, right? I-I still can’t believe that Nelle was my daughter and everything that played out after that — that I discovered that Carly kept the truth from me, and that she had a hand in Nelle’s death. It set a chain of events in motion that continues to this day.

Valentin: Sonny Corinthos… is he a link in that chain?


 

Lenny: Hallelujah! You finally got up the gumption to tell Nina how you feel about her.

Sonny: Well, let me tell you something. I don’t know what we are. We’re — Nina and I are just kind of like a slow dance for now.

Lenny: Oh, you and your slow dances. They’re nice and all, but what do they get you?

Sonny: Take it easy, there, Lenny.

Lenny: Or what? I’ll bust a blood vessel? Uh, been there, done that.

Sonny: [ Laughs ]

Lenny: Yeah? You listen up. If you keep waiting for the right moment, next thing you know, you’ll be turning up daisies like yours truly.

Sonny: You know, I always appreciated you and Phyllis’ love. I mean, it was real, honest. Not always perfect, but it was tough…

Lenny: Mm-hmm.

Sonny: …Like you can go through anything in life. What’s — what’s the secret?

Lenny: No secret. You just try to give more than you get, that’s all. And if you both do that, you can’t lose.

Sonny: Well, you know who gave me a gift? Nina.

Lenny: Yeah?

Sonny: Yeah. It’s a long story, but she’s not making me take sides against my son.

Lenny: That’s some gift.

Sonny: So what are you giving her in return?


 

[ Paddles whine ]

TJ: Clear!

[ Monitors alarming ]

TJ: One, two, three. Another dose of epi. Six, seven, eight. Run the IV wide. 11, 12, 13, 14. Come on, Harmony. 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. Don’t quit on us! 22, 23, 24, 25… 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.

Amy: Administering PPV. One, two…

[ Flatline ]

Amy: She’s in asystole.

TJ: [ Panting, sniffles ] Time of death, 10:53 P.M. [ Exhales sharply ] [ Exhales deeply ]

[ Telephones ringing in distance ]

Brando: Hi. This hospital holds painful memories. But if there’s good news tonight…

Sasha: I know. It’s a beginning.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Michael: Mom?

Carly: You need to get back to the ICU.


 

Felicia: I’m not sure how I feel about raising a child at this stage of my life. I mean, let’s face it, I’m a grandmother of three.

Anna: Oh, yes. But don’t let that be the thing to stop you. You’re very young at heart, and in all the ways that count.

Felicia: Well, thank you for saying that.

Anna: I mean it. [ Sighs ] Gosh. If this really is something that you and Mac both want…

Felicia: Well, that’s just it. I’m not sure. I don’t know.

Anna: Uh, don’t you think this is a conversation you should be having with your husband?

Felicia: Ya think?

Anna: Yeah.

Felicia: [ Sighs ] Mac and I have shared so many adventures. Raising a child together isn’t one of them.

Anna: Whatever you decide, I’ll always be in your corner.

Felicia: Thank you. Well, maybe it’s all in my head. A kid? That’s probably the last thing Mac wants. [ Laughs ]

Mac: Maybe I’ve got it all wrong. Maybe the last thing Felicia wants is a baby.

Robert: Well, there’s one way to find out. Let’s go and ask her. Come on.

Mac: What?! No, don’t. You better not, I swear. If you say anything —

Robert: What are you gonna do? [ Laughs ]

[ Door opens ]

Robert: Ladies. What’s it like out there?

Anna: It’s breathtaking. How’s the whiskey?

Robert: Mmm. Breathtaking.


 

Sonny: You’re absolutely right, Lenny.

Lenny: Tell me something I don’t know.

Sonny: Well, look, Nina is putting me ahead of her own interests. I should do something for her.

Lenny: Then what are you waiting for, huh? Get out of here.

Sonny: Alright.

Lenny: [ Chuckles ]

Sonny: But how do I get out of here? What, am I gonna catch the next plane? I mean, how do I get home? Lenny? Where’d you go? Lenny! Come back, Lenny! Come back!

Frank: Boss, what’s the problem?

Sonny: Uh… [ Sighs ] Man. [ Scoffs ]


 

Nina: What Sonny and I had, that was in Nixon Falls. Now that we’re back in Port Charles, he has a life, he has a family, he has responsibilities, and so do I.

Valentin: Sounds very sensible and thought out, and I don’t believe a word of it.

Nina: Excuse me?

Valentin: The tone of your voice changes when you mention his name.

Nina: D-don’t tell me that you’re jealous. [ Chuckles ]

Valentin: When you say his name, there is a notable change in the tone of your voice, and that tells me that you’re more than just two people living separate lives.

Nina: And I’m sure you’re going to tell me your opinion on all this.

Valentin: [ Sighs ] Whatever happens — maybe you get everything you want, maybe it comes crashing down — I want you to know… you can count on me.

Nina: I’ll keep that in mind.


Sasha: I really thought that Willow’s mom was going to be okay, that she was going to make it.

Brando: Hey, we don’t know anything yet, okay? M-maybe she’s gone into surgery, she’s taken a turn for the worse and —

Sasha: Or I could have killed her.

Brando: Hey, it was an accident. Listen to me. Willow knows that. Everyone knows that.

Sasha: Why is this happening?

Willow: Oh, my god. She’s gone, isn’t she?

TJ: We did everything we could. Willow, w-we did everything we could. I’m so sorry.

Willow: [ Crying ]


 

Felicia: Oh, no, thank you. We should probably call it a night.

Mac: Busy day tomorrow.

Robert: Yeah. You should get the rest while you can.

Felicia: What’s that supposed to mean?

Robert: Chief of detectives. On call 24/7, right?

Felicia: Look, okay, well, good night.

Robert: Good night.

Felicia: Forget everything I said. Probably my imagination.

Anna: Okay.

Mac: Dinner soon?

Anna: Yes, absolutely. Yes. Yeah.

Robert: Drive safe.

Anna: Bye. Bye.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

[ Crickets chirping ]

Mac: [ Sighs ] Hey, is that the big dipper or the little dipper?

Felicia: Huh. That’s the same thing I asked Anna. Do you think it would be okay to make a wish, even if it’s the wrong constellation?

Mac: I don’t see why not.

Felicia: [ Sighs ]

Mac: Felicia…

Felicia: Shh! Don’t say anything, otherwise it won’t come true.

Robert: To Mac and Felicia.

Anna: May they get everything they wish for.

Robert: Hmm. May the person who gets the remote get everything they want.

Anna: Ooh!


Sonny: I just drifted off for a second. Everything’s fine.

Frank: Bad dream?

Sonny: Actually, uh, it was a good dream. Good night, frank.

Frank: Good night, sir.

Sonny: [ Sighs ]

[ Telephone line ringing ]

[ Voicemail beeps ]

Nina: Hi, this is Nina. I can’t take your call right now, but please leave a message, and I’ll call you right back.

[ Voicemail beeps ]

Sonny: Hi, Nina. It’s Sonny. I-I just wanted to say that, uh, I was so happy to see you tonight, and, uh, I can’t wait to see you very, very soon.


 

Valentin: Thank you for your hospitality.

Phyllis: Anytime.

Valentin: Walk you to your car?

Nina: Wow, that’s very chivalrous of you this evening.

Valentin: I’m always chivalrous.

[ Women laughing ]

Nina: Hey, thank you for the tea.

Phyllis: Uh-huh.

Nina: And I will talk to you tomorrow.

Phyllis: Sounds good.

Nina: Okay.

Valentin: After you.

Nina: Wow. Again, being chivalrous.

Valentin: It’s kind of an affliction.

[ Light switch clicks ]

Phyllis: [ Gasps ]


 

Willow: [ Crying ] The — could I just, um… could I have a minute alone with her?

TJ: Yeah, you take — you take as much time as you need, okay?

Willow: [ Sniffles ] [ Crying ]

Michael: I can… I can wait out here.

Willow: Come with me?

Michael: Anywhere.

Sasha: Oh, God.

TJ: It’s — it’s a good thing you’re here. Willow’s gonna need her friends now more than ever.

Willow: I need you to know that I forgive you and I love you… so much more than you probably ever realized. Do you remember our picnic in that meadow in Colorado? When you braided my hair, you put all those wildflowers in it. [ Sniffles ] I don’t know if I’ve ever felt so beautiful or free. There were good memories, too, okay? Filled with magic, laughter… love. Those are the ones I’ll tell Wiley about. You hold on tight to them, Mom. I will, too. [ Crying ]

Harmony: You have to protect her. Nina’s love will smother her. Please, Carly. Please.

Carly: It’s okay. We got her. Willow is going to be okay.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Violet (to Chase): You can never have too many tea parties.

Brook Lynn (on phone): It’s so good to hear your voice.

TJ (to Britt): It was worse than I could ever imagine.

Terry (to Elizabeth): I do have something to confess. You’re not gonna like it.

Sonny (to Dante): What are you saying? I’m vulnerable or my business is vulnerable?

Michael (to Carly): I don’t know how to predict Willow from the fallout.

Willow: What was my mother trying to hide?

Leo: You asked what the hell I wanted. The truth is, I spent my whole life wanting things– money, power, alamainian emeralds. But now I’ve come to realize there’s only one thing I want. And that’s you.

Nancy: Now, you know, bonnie, I really thought that I would’ve been the last person that craig wanted to see. Yeah. But I’m so glad I went. Uh-huh. No. You know, when I got there, he was such a hot mess. Yeah. But we sat and we talked, and we realized that after everything we’ve both been through, that we’re still friends. Yeah. No, no. Then leo showed up.

[Laughs] No one has ever accused leo of not having nerve. Yeah. And th– clyde? You mean the jerk who was going to take me out on my first date and then I never heard from him again, that clyde? I’m telling you right– oh, I’m so sorry. You.

Jack: What are you talking about?

Abigail: You know, based on his reaction, I’m assuming you didn’t tell him what you shared with me before rafe led you to the squad car. So did you want to tell him, or should I? I didn’t think so, because, you know, you never want to admit you’ve done anything until you’ve already been caught.

Jack: Abigail, what are you talking about?

Abigail: This is about the fact that grandma laura’s death was not an accident. Was it? She told me that she killed grandma laura on purpose.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Jack: Is that true?

Gwen: Course it isn’T. She must’ve misheard what I said.

Abigail: I heard you very clearly. Her exact words were, and I quote, “oh, and by the way, your precious grandmother, I killed that bitch on purpose.”

Jack: God. My god.

Gwen: Was last night not enough fun for you, abigail? Did you wake up this morning and think, ooh. How can I hurt gwen more? How can I make her pay even more?

Jennifer: You do realize that you really, really are not the victim here, right? But my mother was your victim. Or should I say one of your victims?

Jack: Why didn’t you say anything about this last night?

Abigail: Because I felt like you had already been through enough.

Gwen: Or you hadn’t thought it up yet.

Jennifer: Oh, yeah. Rafe had you in cuffs and he was leading you away, and I saw you, you whispered something in abigail’s ear, and I doubt you were complimenting her dress.

Gwen: It’s a problem I have. I don’t like someone else having the last word.

Jack: Why did you choose to tell me now?

Jennifer: Because I told her she had to, jack. You have to know. We are now talking about murder.

Jack: Are we? Did you kill laura?

Nancy: You know what? I take it back. When I stepped on your foot, I wish I’d broken every one of your metatarsals. Bonnie, look, I’ll call you back. I got to get out of here.

Clyde: Come on, nancy, wait.

Nancy: Wait? I have waited for you, clyde. I waited all day yesterday for you to call like you said you would.

Clyde: I know. I’m sorry about that, but there was a reason.

Nancy: Yeah. And I know what it is. You don’t want to date me, but you’re too much of a coward to tell me.

Clyde: No, my son, ben, he went missing.

Nancy: I–is he okay? Did they find him?

Clyde: Yeah, eventually. He was chained up in the dimera crypt.

Nancy: [Laughs] Okay. He was chained up in the dimera crypt? Oh, wh–wait. Did stefano dimera come back from the dead again?

[Gasps]

Clyde: No, it was the devil.

Nancy: [Laughs] Oh. And how is he doing?

Clyde: Listen, I know it sounds crazy, but it’s not funny. We found ben, but we have no idea where his wife is, and she’s about to have a baby. What we do know is the devil has kidnapped her.

Nancy: Y–you know, clyde, if you don’t want to date me, you don’t have to recycle old tales from the crypt.

Clyde: I swear on the life my unborn grandson that I am telling the truth. But if you don’t believe me, take a look at this.

Chad: I’m gonna kill him.

Sonny: Okay.

Chad: I’m gonna find leo stark, and I am gonna kill him.

Sonny: Chad.

Chad: I’m gonna get rolf to bring him back from the dead so I can kill him again.

Sonny: Buddy, hey. You’re gonna have to calm down.

Chad: Calm dow–how am i supposed to calm down when this is on the front page of the paper?

Sonny: I mean, it does make you look pretty busty.

Chad: Really?

Sonny: [Laughing] What?

Chad: It’s not the time to be funny, all right. You know what it is? Right now would be a good moment for us to reflect upon the fact that all of this humiliation and degradation that I am going through and continue to go through in this whole gay fantasia is your fault.

Sonny: Chad. It’s a picture of you in drag, okay? It’s not that big of a deal. It’s not degrading. It’s not humiliating–

Chad: The story is.

Sonny: What–what story?

Chad: The exclusive that leo stark gave to “the intruder.” Listen to this. Listen. “When I first met chad dimera in phoenix, there was an instant attraction between us.” In his dreams. “Even though he was a married man, he insisted we go out to a gay club. And after a wild night of drinking and dancing, the two of us ended up in bed together.” You know, and he leaves out the very pertinent fact that he crawled into my bed like a slug. I mean, the little creep outed me. And I wasn’t even in!

Leo: I want you back, craig. I want you to forgive me, and I want you to marry me.

Craig: Sorry. You already have a husband.

Leo: I told you, I only married darius so he could get his green card. He begged me to help him. Do you know how cold those winters are in canada? They are hell on his complexion, which is not her strong suit to begin with.

Craig: And why in god’s name would I care about any of this now?

Leo: Because I need to make you see I don’t love darius or any other man. I love you.

Nancy: [Chuckles] So you really expect a picture of chad dimera in drag to convince me that the devil made you not call me?

Clyde: What? No, no, no. That’s the wrong story. Here.

Nancy: [Sighs] “Crypt captive baby daddy rescued: Pregnant wife now missing”? Oh, clyde. You must be so worried.

Clyde: Appreciate that. But I’m really sorry about the dinner.

Nancy: No, no. It’s okay. I mean, you’ve got so much on your mind and, well, you just forgot.

Clyde: I was hoping that I could maybe make it up to you if you’ve got the time, and could take you out to lunch.

Nancy: But what about your son and your daughter-in-law?

Clyde: Well, police are looking for her, and ben would rather be alone right now. He’s always been that way. Unlike me, who likes company. Especially nice company, like you.

Nancy: [Spluttering] I would love to, yes.

Clyde: Well, good. Hope you don’t mind brady pub. I do have an employee discount over there.

Nancy: That would be fine.

Clyde: Good. Then you can tell me all about your ex-husband’s wedding.

Craig: Leo, I have heard you say “I love you” a million times. But I know that you were lying to me from the second we met. I–I don’t know why I would believe you now, hm.

Leo: You should believe me because of your feet.

Craig: My feet?

Leo: Yes. Your feet. When they hurt after a long shift at the hospital, I rub them for you. And when you order some drink you can’t stand, some fruity something, I trade my scotch and soda, no complaints. When you’re driving me around, I touch the back of your head, and I curl your hair into those little circles because I know how much you like it. Those are just some of the little ways that I show I love you. But there’s also a big way. You should know that I love you because for the first time in my life, I admitted that I did something wrong and I apologized. I’m sorry I lied to you. I’m sorry I seduced you and tried to marry you for your money. I am sorry for so many things. But there is one thing I am not sorry for.

Craig: And what’s that? Hm?

Leo: Even if we are through, I am not sorry that I fell in love with you. Because our time together have been the best days of my life.

Gwen: I’m telling you the truth.

Jennifer: He has your word on that? But really, I mean, what is your word worth? There’s no one in this room that would believe anything that you would say right now, gwen.

Gwen: My father asked me a question. Are you going to let me answer it?

Jennifer: Yeah, yeah. But first, can I remind you that we already talked about this? You swore to me that my mother’s death was an accident. And I believed you. You looked me in the eye and you told me that you were sorry, that it wasn’t intentional. And I–I accepted that. I–I accepted you as part of our family. So back then, was that the truth or not? Life’s been hard enough.

Gwen: I was telling you the truth that day. Your mother’s death was an accident.

Abigail: Which compels me to reiterate that that’s not what you said to me at the wedding. Unless, of course, I managed to misinterpret “I killed that bitch on purpose.”

Gwen: No, you heard exactly what I wanted you to hear, and you took it just the way I wanted you to take it.

Abigail: But why would you say something like that if it wasn’t true?

Gwen: Can you not comprehend that I wanted to hurt you? I mean, really, are you so perfect that you can’t understand a base impulse?

Jack: So that was a lie?

Gwen: Yes, it was a lie. Look, we all know that she is wonderful and that I am dirt. But she said that she would be my matron of honor. She said she’d be my sister, and I believed her. But instead she used my wedding as a way to kill any chance that I would ever at being happy, to make sure that I would lose xander, to make sure I would lose my father. I was handcuffed, so I couldn’t exactly punch her, could I? So instead, I punched her with my words.

Chad: “It was clear that since that fabulous night to remember, chad could not forget about me. When I returned to salem, he left his wife and small children at home and came knocking at my hotel room door drunk and begging me for sex.”

Sonny: Chad, I’m–

Chad: Shut up. There’s more. “Earlier, his soon-to-be cuckolded wife, abigail dimera–” that’s great. He took a swipe at her. She’s gonna love that. “Abigail dimera confided to me that chad was obsessed with me.” As I recall, that was another one of your ideas. You were full of wonderful ideas that night, weren’t you?

Sonny: I know. Mea culpa. All right? Mea culpa.

Chad: “But I rejected chad’s desperate pleas for a one-on-one liaison because I was engaged and in love with another man.”

Sonny: Wh– who are you calling?

Chad: Who do you think I am calling? I am calling my lawyer, so I can sue “the intruder” and leo for libel.

Sonny: Are you sure you want to do that?

Craig: Are you trying to play me again, leo?

Leo: I’ve always been a player. But in this particular moment, I’m being perfectly straight with you. Poor choice of words.

Craig: You are actually gay, aren’t you?

Leo: Now, that would be quite the con, huh? But you more than anybody should know, I am gay.

Craig: You said you fell in love with me, but when we first met–

Leo: You were just another mark.

Craig: Yeah.

Leo: I could tell you were closeted, so I lured you out with every intention of marrying you, divorcing you, and taking you for every penny you had. I would’ve succeeded too, had it not been for will, sonny, chad, brady, and your daughter, chloe.

Nancy: I guess you could say that craig and leo’s wedding didn’t go off without a hitch. But then again, maybe– maybe it did.

Clyde: I have no idea what that means, but I look forward to you explaining it to me over lunch. Shall we?

Chloe: Mom?

Nancy: Oh, hi, honey.

Chloe: What the hell are you doing with this guy? Find your beat

Nancy: Chloe, language. Clyde, this is my daughter and her boyfriend, brady black. Oh, is it all right if I call you her boyfriend?

Brady: Yeah, yeah, that’s– that’s fine by me.

Nancy: Oh, good. Well, this is clyde weston.

Chloe: Yeah, we know who he is.

Nancy: Oh, good. Then you should know we are about to go on our first date.

Chloe: Over my dead body.

Chad: Well, the way I see it, I have two options. I can kill him or I can sue him.

Sonny: Okay, look, I really don’t think you want to do that.

Chad: Yes, sonny, I really do want to do that.

Sonny: Okay, look, in order to sue for libel, there has to be false statement purporting to be fact. Technically, everything in this article, everything that you and abigail said and did is true. You did try to seduce leo.

Chad: Yeah, because you pleaded with me to do it. Once again, this was your fault. Actually, you know what, sonny? This was my fault, okay? Because I let you talk me into what I knew to be a deeply, truly horrible idea.

Leo: No matter what they did to try and break us up, I was always one step ahead of them. And I would’ve gotten away with it too, had it not been for those meddling kids.

Craig: Scooby-doo?

Leo: Getting up early on sunday mornings to watch old saturday morning cartoons with you. Another example of how I love you.

Craig: Or two cases of arrested development.

Leo: It just got scary, how much we have in common, how easy it was to be with you, how fun.

Craig: And my money had nothing to do with how easy it all was?

Leo: Well, I won’t deny it. I liked your money too. I tell you, that prenup chloe had drawn up was a stroke of genius. A move I did not anticipate. When I saw it, my first thought was, game over. There’s nothing I can do but walk away. There’s nothing left in this for me.

Craig: Then why did you sign it, hm?

Leo: I signed it because in that moment, when given the choice between giving up everything that I had worked for, everything that you had worked for, I didn’t care about losing any of it. I didn’t care that darius was gonna be furious with me. I only cared about losing you. And now, the million-dollar question. Do you believe me? I think you do. But you don’t have to answer that question. Answer this one instead. Can you forgive me? Can we please start over?

Abigail: Why should we believe you, hm? After all of the horrible things that you have done to our family, it is hardly a stretch to think that you could’ve killed grandma laura. You drugged me. It took me months to recover, but I did; I was lucky. But poor sarah? You made sure she got a second dose of the drug. She may never be herself ever again.

Jack: Actually, there’s reason for hope. Gwen told xander where he could find rolf’s antidote. She’s doing what she can to undo the harm.

Abigail: [Scoffs] So what, am I– am I just supposed to act like she’s mother teresa now? Or dad, maybe her back is up against the wall, she’s actually having to pay for something that she’s done, and this is just some last minute sympathy. You know, I sure hope that maggie and xander take the time to test whatever it is you led them to.

Gwen: Do you really think–

Abigail: That you would do it again? Yes. I do. You know why? Because you have made it very clear that anybody who is loved by anyone that you think is supposed to love you is fair game. I think you would be willing to hurt sarah now more than you ever have.

Gwen: You said your piece. Now, I’d like a moment alone with my father, please.

Abigail: I bet you would.

Jennifer: Jack. I will support any decision that you make right now. But I want you to know that I will never trust that woman to be a part of our family ever again.

Gwen: You said at the wedding that you were done with me. And now, today, there’s even more damning evidence against me. So I take it nothing’s gonna change your mind about me. Right?

Jack: You’ll always be my daughter.

Gwen: Yeah, you’re talking biologically.

Jack: No. When laura sent your mother away, she made you think that I turned my back on you, that I knew about you, but went on living my life pretending you didn’t exist. I never chose to do that.

Gwen: So– so we can move past this?

Jack: I will always be your father. But after what you did to sarah, and to abigail, I honestly don’t know what kind of a family we could ever be.

[Dramatic music]

Nancy: Chloe, I know it’s hard to see me moving on from your father, but what’s good for the gander is good for the goose. Especially when the gander likes ganders.

Chloe: Oh, mom, I don’t care that you’re dating. It’s who you’re dating. This guy just got out of prison.

Nancy: I know that. Clyde told me. You know, listen, men can change who they are. And clyde said he’s changed, and I believe him. Now, shall we go? I’m starving.

Chloe: Ugh, why am I getting a feeling of déj vu? I just–I’ve spent the last few months trying to stop one parent from dating the wrong person, and now I have to do the same with the other parent?

Brady: Look, I was here for you when it was leo and your dad, so I’m gonna be here for you with clyde and your mom.

Chloe: Thank you. At least I know I’m dating the right person.

Chad: Well, then if I can’t sue him, I’m gonna give my own interview. I’ll tell everyone that leo stark is a bigamist.

Sonny: Chad, you really want to sink down to his level?

Chad: Yes, he hit me below the belt. It’s time to return the favor.

Sonny: I’m telling you, I–I really just think you should let this go. Okay, stories like this, they tend to just fizzle out on their own. You would just be adding fuel to the fire.

Chad: Oh, yeah? That’s easy for you to say. You’re not even mentioned in the article.

Sonny: Wait, what? You’re right.

Chad: Yeah. Why is that? Why didn’t leo come after you? Maybe leo was right. Maybe that’s why you didn’t come to the wedding.

Sonny: Don’t even infer that. Okay, I told you, I had a business meeting. Okay, and besides, you heard what he said. Leo was going after everyone who came between him and craig. And I have a sickening feeling you were just the first one on the list.

Craig: I do believe you love me, leo. Part of me wants to forgive you and take you in my arms and hold you and never let you go.

Leo: But?

Craig: But I don’t trust you. And trust is something that matters to me. I took a huge leap of faith to be with you. I had to stop living a lie, a lie that I was telling myself and telling the world.

Leo: That’s a good thing, craig.

Craig: Yeah. But in the process, I tore apart my family, and I hurt the only woman I ever loved, just to love you.

Leo: Does that mean you’re going back to be with nancy?

Craig: No. I am gay. And I will never hide that again.

[Sighs] But you and I, we’re done. I left your stuff downstairs.

[Soft dramatic music]

Leo: Do you hate me?

Craig: No, leo, I don’t hate you. But I cannot be with you. But because of you, I can now be myself. Goodbye, kiddo. With all that’s happened, I– I don’t regret loving you.

[Dramatic music]

Brady: Sonny.

Sonny: Hey.

Brady: I just saw the article in which leo outed chad.

Sonny: Yeah, I was there when chad saw it, and it was not pretty.

Brady: Yeah. Yeah. I’ll admit, I mean, when I saw the picture, it was– it was kind of funny, but then I read the article, and I’ll tell you, that leo, he’s quite the creep. I mean, every one of those lies was calculated to hurt.

Sonny: Yeah, well, that’s leo for you. He didn’t just go after chad. He went after his marriage, his family.

Brady: Yeah, which is odd. I think it’s odd because why wouldn’t he–why wouldn’t he go after me or chloe? Why chad?

Sonny: Or me.

Leo: Well, don’t worry. You’re next. And in case you’re feeling left out, brady, once I’m done with sonny boy here, you and you vacuous little girlfriend will then be next.

Chloe: Dad, hey, I got your text. I was starting to think that you maybe never wanted to see me again.

Craig: Oh, now you know that was never gonna happen.

Chloe: I know last night was awful; I’m sorry.

Craig: It’s okay; there’s no need for a postmortem. Leo and I have said our goodbyes.

Chloe: Again, I’m sorry.

Craig: It’s okay. I know I was upset last night.

Chloe: And you had every right to be.

Craig: Ah, but, having had time to think, I realized that everything you did, you had reason for. You did everything because you love me.

Chloe: I do. And I swear that’s why I did it.

Craig: I know.

Chloe: Unfortunately, I have a lot of experience in putting my life back together again, so if you need me to talk you through it, you know?

Craig: I’m okay. Thanks, honey.

Chloe: Have you eaten anything? Want to get some lunch?

Craig: I’m okay.

Chloe: You don’t want to face the world, we can just order some room service.

Craig: Sweetie, after talking to leo, I made a few decisions. I’m leaving salem. And I’m going back to new york.

Clyde: Nancy. I don’t know you very well. But what I do know, I like. A lot.

Nancy: Oh. My, my, my. This is like the beginning of our first date, and that sounded like the prelude to a kiss-off.

Clyde: No. No, think of it more as a– it’s like an offering for an easy way out. You see, I know what my son means to me. And the last thing in the world I want to do is come between you and your daughter. So if you’d like to back out now, that’s totally cool with me.

[Soft dramatic music]

[Door opens]

Abigail: Dad left. It’s just you and me. And I want the truth. Did you or did you not kill my grandmother?

It’s the most wonderful

time of the year

Jennifer: The horrible thing is, jack, is given the arrogance of what my mom did, and then gwen had to pay for that arrogance, I can understand why she would want my mom dead.

Jack: After you left, she swore to me that she didn’t kill laura, that she was telling the truth when she told us that all she was trying to do was hurt abigail, which in and of itself is pretty horrifying, as if she hadn’t hurt abigail enough already.

Jennifer: So which of the two scenarios are the truth, jack?

Jack: Damned if I know.

Abigail: So were you lying to my mother when you said you didn’t kill her? Or were you lying to me when you said that you did?

Gwen: Not knowing is killing you, isn’t it? And knowing that, I’m never gonna give you an answer. Oh, abigail. Poor you. I am never going to tell you what really happened to your sweet little granny. You will never know. Payback’s a bitch, isn’t it?

Chad: No, my wife is not leaving me for another woman. No, no, no. No, I did not have a threesome with two men. I don’t know where you get your information, buddy, but if you print this garbage, I am gonna make you pay.

[Cell phone ringing] Ugh.

Nancy: Clyde, I love my daughter. But I’m a grown woman. And my days of pleasing other people are over. The things that I have been through in the last couple of months, I deserve my happy ending.

Chloe: What? What about your job?

Craig: I already gave seth burns my resignation. I didn’t feel good about taking the job away from kayla. The hospital will run much better with her in charge.

Chloe: That’s not true.

Craig: Mm.

Chloe: But–so there’s no– there’s no changing your mind?

Craig: No. But I’m glad you came over so i could say goodbye before I left. I wanted to see you. And I wanted to tell you, princess, that I am sorry. I’m sorry about how much I hurt you and how much I hurt your mother.

Chloe: Dad, all I ever wanted was for you to be happy.

Craig: I know.

Chloe: Okay? And I know that you were never gonna be happy not being who you really are. And the fact that leo is–

Craig: Ah.

Chloe: Okay, I’m not gonna repeat what I think about leo. But I just hope that someday you meet a man who’s worthy of you.

Craig: Me too. Here’s hoping.

Chloe: And despite all the drama and the fighting, I was really glad to have you back. And I’m gonna miss you.

Craig: Aw, honey.

[Both sniffling] I’m gonna miss you too. No man has ever had a better daughter. I love you, sweetie. I love you.

Chloe: I love you too.

Brady: I see that craig has sent you packing.

Sonny: Yeah, with your tail between your legs.

Leo: Yes. Craig and I are done. But I’m not going anywhere. This may have started as a scam, but it became very personal to me. And you all cost me the man that I love. So remember, hell hath no fury like a gay man scorned. Because I’m coming for you. I’m coming for all of you. =

Steffy: God! Ah. I got to hold it together, I got to hold it together for the kids, I don’t want my– my parents to worry, but I’m not okay, I mean, how–how can I be okay? My husband is dead. Some monster shot us, stole our future, like I– liam, I hate this. I hate this.

Liam: Hey, steffy, look at me for a second? I know that you feel like you have to be strong for everybody else, all the time, and it’s not true. Right now, it’s our turn to be strong for you, and we are going to get through this, we’re going to get through this together. I’m going to be there for you and the kids. Okay?

Steffy: Thank you.

Liam: Yeah, okay.

Steffy: Thank you.

Brooke: Honey, don’t listen to thomas. He’s trying to make you question liam and the strength of your marriage.

Hope: I won’t do that.

Brooke: Good.

Hope: But I can still not like that he spent the night at steffy’S.

Quinn: It’s not easy, rebuilding trust in a marriage once you’ve lost it.

Carter: And you and eric made a commitment to do that?

Quinn: Yeah, we’re trying, but I don’t know, it’s taking time. I– I love eric, and I’m, I’m so happy to be married to him, I just wish he was around more often, you know?

Carter: Mm.

Quinn: I’m glad he’s enjoying pickleball at the club, at least he’s being more active.

[ Eric sighing ]

Donna: Why do you always look at me like that?

Eric: I can stop.

Donna: No. Never.

Eric: It’s a good thing, because I don’t think I ever could. Not the way you make me feel.

Donna: Don’t you dare say I make you feel younger.

Eric: You make me feel lighter, that’s for sure.

Donna: Same.

Eric: Even though I’m a married man?

Quinn: I’m not feeling neglected.

Carter: I know.

Quinn: Just– I get that eric is busy, okay? He loves his work, he loves pickleball, clearly. I mean, it energizes him, so I’m not complaining, I just– I miss spending time with him, you know? I miss his arms around me. I used to be the thing that excited him the most and now, now I’m not so sure.

Donna: Eric, I– I didn’t think I’d ever see you like this ever again, I mean all those years sitting behind a desk, wanting to tell you how I felt, knowing I could make you happy like this.

Eric: I’m so happy. You make me so happy, happier than I think I have a right to be.

Donna: Eric, everybody has a right to feel joy, I mean that’s what life is all about, just– finding something to look forward to, something or– someone to excite us, that’s what you’ve always been for me. Now, I can finally be that for you too.

Hope: Don’t get me wrong, I understand why liam felt he had to spend the night, kelly is vulnerable right now, and she was scared, she needed her daddy, liam, I mean– he can’t say no to that.

Brooke: Apparently he can’t say no to steffy either.

Hope: Mom, what steffy and her family are going through right now, I mean, it’s tragic, and liam is, I’m sure it’s comforting to have him there, especially for kelly.

Brooke: Yes, yeah, I mean it’s sweet and it’s nice, to a point, but beth needs him too.

Liam: I’m not going to lie, it’s going to be tough, but– then again, so are you.

Steffy: Yeah, real tough.

Liam: Hey, steffy, can I tell you a secret? Being tough, being strong, it’s not the same as being a robot. Cry, grieve, th– that is exactly what you are supposed to be doing right now, and you don’t need to hide it from anyone, especially not me, I mean, look at me, I cry all the time.

Ridge: Hey guys, sorry.

Steffy: It’s fine, you guys don’t have to apologize.

Taylor: I snuck out with your dad and went to get you some breakfast.

Liam: Ah, that’s nice, I–i actually about to take off, so.

Ridge: Oh.

Taylor: Thanks for staying the night, liam.

Liam: Yeah.

Steffy: It meant a lot to kelly to have her daddy here.

Taylor: Yeah, kelly’s going to need her dad like she’s never needed him before. I sense that steffy feels the same way. Want your clothes to smell freshly

Quinn: I like that we can still talk and be open with each other.

Carter: Me too.

Quinn: Our relationship has changed but our friendship hasn’T.

Carter: Because what we had was more than just physical.

Quinn: Yeah, it was. It was more than that, I mean I– I turned to you because, because I wanted to be understood, and appreciated. You know, I never had to play a part with you, I could always just be myself.

Carter: That’s good.

Quinn: You showed me what I deserve, you know, and what I have to offer.

Carter: Eric knew it too, he just– he didn’t express it.

Quinn: That’s always going to amaze me, you know? The most eloquent man I have ever met in my entire life couldn’t express his feelings to me. It’s one of the things I– I love most about eric is, the beautiful things that he says to me.

Carter: You’re lucky to have each other. I’m really glad that you were able to find that again.

Donna: Hey, where’d you go?

Eric: I’m here.

Donna: I know you. No, I know this look.

Eric: Oh you do, do you?

Donna: Mm hm.

Eric: Look, if– if, if quinn knew what was going on with us she’d be devastated, and I– look, I care about her.

Donna: You just have the biggest, most generous heart, and you just– you want to share it with everyone, don’t you? I can’t be jealous of that, as long as you are sharing this part with me, okay?

Eric: Okay.

[ Laughter ]

Liam: Hi, hey guys, hi brooke.

Hope: Hi.

Liam: Hi, is everything okay?

Brooke: Now that you’re home.

Hope: How, um, how’s steffy?

Liam: Um, I mean, you know, physically she’s improving, it’s just, you know, with– with finn gone, and her worrying about the kids, it’s all sort of just weighing on her, still and–

Brooke: Well she has a huge support system helping her, her family, now that she’s home from the hospital, you can put your focus elsewhere. Back here, home, with hope and beth, and douglas, they need you too, liam. I brought in ensure max protein,

Quinn: Eric and I have been completely in sync for so long, I thought it would last forever.

Carter: You’re trying to get back to that.

Quinn: Yeah, we are, but it– it’s taking effort and– and that’s not something that I’m used to. Eric and I, we’ve never had to work at our relationship. It was always easy. But now, not so much. Pbut, I need to be patient and positive, two things I am not very good at. But eric is worth it. Our marriage is worth it, I just– I just have to have complete faith in eric’s love and commitment to me.

Donna: I don’t want to put you on the spot.

Eric: You don’T. Donna, what we share is exactly what I need. You bring a positivity to my life, you bring such light, it’s exactly what I need. Positivity, caring, and– and you make me laugh.

Donna: Yeah?

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: Well, there is nothing I enjoy more than putting a smile on this beautiful face.

Eric: Yeah?

Donna: Yeah, because you are, and always will be, the great love of my life.

Hope: Mom, liam spent the night at steffy’s because kelly needed him.

Liam: And I really did, really did mean to call, I just– yeah?

Hope: I get that you want to help steffy, we all do, and she has this amazing support network there for her, all these people who want to help her.

Liam: Yeah, yeah.

Hope: So, I mean, if– if you ever want kelly spend the night here, we could also do that.

Liam: Oh yeah, uh, no, definitely, and I would, it’s just that right now I feel like kelly really needs to be with her mom.

Hope: Okay. Okay, so– so what does that mean for you, like how– how much time do you want to spend over there?

Liam: I don’t know, I– I don’t know, I mean– I guess I– I guess I’ll just have to see how things play out, I mean ridge and taylor are there, and she loves them, so that– that’s good, you know?

Brooke: How is ridge?

Liam: Uh, he’s– I mean, he’s worried, he’s worried about steffy and the kids, but it’s ridge, you know, he’s not going to show that. I want to be sensitive, I– you might not want to hear this, but I think as a family, they are really pulling together.

Brooke: Yeah, I mean, that doesn’t really surprise me. Ridge wants to do everything he can for his daughter, so– it just breaks my heart, knowing that he’s not coming home.

Ridge: We’re all here, whatever you need.

Steffy: I’m just so tired.

Taylor: I know, baby. I know. Why don’t you go lie down okay? Get some rest, let your father and I take care of things.

Ridge: Slow down. Okay? It’s going to be okay. She’s going to be alright.

Taylor: I’m just glad we’re doing this together. Showing our kids that they can rely on their parents.

Ridge: And that their parents can rely on each other.

Carter: Have you been as clear with your feelings to eric as you’ve been with me? He might not spend so much time away if he knew how much you missed him. I mean, if I was in his shoes, I’d think about taking a sabbatical, or at least a very long, romantic vacation.

Quinn: Says the man who once offered to run away with me.

Carter: Yeah. Heh. I’m grateful for everything that we experienced, quinn, but I knew we couldn’t keep sneaking around.

Quinn: No, it’s not the man you are.

Carter: It’s not the relationship I wanted to have with you. If I get involved with anybody, they can’t be involved with anyone else, I can’t cross that line again.

Quinn: Ugh, neither will I. Eric never has to worry about that. I will be as faithful to him as he has always been to me.

Donna: I just want to treasure every little moment that I have with my honeybear.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Why won’t you come home, ridge?

Ridge: You know, I– can’t imagine going through any of this without you by my side.

Taylor: I hate, I hate that I haven’t been here, I hate that I was gone for such a long time. I– I’ve missed out on so much, I should have been here. I should have been here when– I missed out on finn, I missed out on so many things, I–

Ridge: Well, you’re here now, and doc, I couldn’t be any more grateful.

Taylor: Doc… you say that and it reminds of- reminds me of happier times, but I don’t think we’re going to see those for a while, ridge, I am so worried. Steffy can’t remember anything, she doesn’t know what happened that night. The– the events of that night are gonna– are gonna be so hard to cope with, when she can’t even remember what happened. Hayes is going to grow up without a father, and– and kelly, even though she tries to pretend she’s okay, she’s not, and she’s scared.

Ridge: Okay. Okay, look at me, look at me. We have to focus and we have to find a way to get our family through this. Protect our daughter, make sure she’s okay.

Taylor: She’s going to struggle.

Ridge: Yeah, she is.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: But she has your strength, and she has you. You’re going to be here. So am I.

Taylor: Good, because I need you to be.

Ridge: I’m not going anywhere.

Brooke: Please, ridge. [ Sighing ] Come home.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Diane: I’d ask how you got in here, but that’s just who you are, isn’t it? Would you like a drink?

Victor: This is not a social visit.

Diane: Of course not. Hmm. I’ve been expecting you. I’m sure that as soon as she spoke with me, nikki ran write to you — “guess what.” I’m surprised it took you this long to show up. Maybe you’re slowing down a bit.

Victor: I’m as fast as I’ve always been. How about you? How fast would you get out of genoa city? Your visit here will be a short one.

Mariah: Kyle?

Kyle: Hey, mariah.

Mariah: Hi! I had no idea that you were home from milan. How long are you here for? Can I join you? I’m so glad you’re here because we have so much to catch up on.

Sally: Why is sneaking away to a hotel in the middle of the day so sexy?

Adam: Well, I think it is the juxtaposition of normal, mundane midday tasks with something amazing.

Sally: Mm-hmm, that was more of a rhetorical question, but thank you.

[ Chuckles ]

Adam: But I will say getting a suite in phyllis’ hotel without her knowing makes it extra hot.

Sally: Look at us, two people who just admitted to each other that we are falling in love, having a little romantic rendezvous. Wait. Are we becoming a couple?

Adam: I don’t know, I wasn’t expecting any of this.

Sally: Me neither. We made such an effort to keep things professional, but this is definitely not professional.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, all those declarations that nothing is going on between us. Although I will say that I sold that a little more than you did.

Sally: Not true. All of my assurances to chloe and to chelsea and even you were legit, because I did not want to ruin my chances at newman fashion or newman media.

Adam: And now newman/locke.

Sally: Actually, what was most important to me was not ruining my chances with what i really wanted.

Adam: And what is that?

Sally: You.

Billy: You’re up and around. That’s good to see.

Victoria: I’m walking, hooray.

Billy: Are you in pain?

Victoria: No, I — I am — I’m feeling okay. Guess I’m pretty lucky, all things considered.

Billy: Yeah. It’s tragic about rey.

Victoria: I wish I hadn’t been out there driving on that road. Maybe things would’ve turned out differently.

Billy: You can’t think that way, vick. It was an accident. It wasn’t your fault.

Victoria: Right. Many people have assured me of that.

Billy: Why were you out there on that road? That’s not your usual way home.

Victoria: I thought you said that you didn’t blame me, and now you’re asking me how I got myself into this predicament.

Billy: I’m not blaming you. I’m just trying to put the pieces together and understand what happened. Ashland was out there, but he wasn’t in the car with you. He was in his own car. Was he following you? Hi, I’m karen.

Diane: Threatening helpless women? That’s really not your style. Or is that you’ve become these days — a common thug?

Victor: Hmm. I would never threaten a helpless creature of any kind, you know? But when someone as venomous and potentially evil as you comes across my path, all bets are off.

Diane: Relax, I mean no harm.

Victor: Then pack your damn bag. Get out of town before they find out you’re here.

Diane: I know that most of the citizens of genoa city don’t care for me, and I’m sure they’ll be surprised to find out that I’m alive.

Victor: They won’t like to hear it.

Diane: Yeah, well, I didn’t expect a welcome home party. But I figure if I stick around long enough, eventually they’ll tolerate me.

Victor: Don’t hold your breath, okay?

Diane: Phyllis is putting up with me. I’m — I’m staying in her hotel.

Victor: She’s putting up with you because she’ll keep an eye on you this way.

Diane: Probably.

Victor: Mm. So enough with chit-chat.

Diane: Fine. I’m sure nikki filled you in on my metamorphosis.

Victor: It was a bunch of bull. You don’t transform into someone else after a few sessions of therapy.

Diane: I’m guessing that’ll be the consensus around town.

Victor: Right.

Diane: So only newmans are allowed to change.

Victor: What do you mean?

Diane: Oh, please. Nikki has become the pious poster child for sobriety and clean living. She’s traveled quite a distance from when you first met. And your son adam, he’s turned into this respectable family man, putting aside all those nasty tricks from his past.

Victor: My wife and my son evolved in what they are now after many years.

Diane: Victor, I have zero expectations from anyone in this town, including you. So you can keep your threats to yourself. I’m here for one reason only — to explain to my son why I did what I did all those years ago and ask for his forgiveness.

Kyle: You look great.

Mariah: That is so nice. And so true.

[ Both laugh ]

Kyle: I missed you.

Mariah: I missed you more.

Kyle: I’m just here on business. Dad needed me in genoa city.

Mariah: Oh, I didn’t hear anything about that at jabot.

Kyle: It was very short notice. I didn’t have time to tell anybody.

Mariah: Got it. So snowflake’s not with you? Is she, like, the mayor of milan now? Contessa?

Kyle: Summer is wonderful. She had to stay in italy to oversee marchetti’s new season launch. So it’s just me and harrison on this trip.

Mariah: Aww. A daddy-son trip — I love it. So how long are you staying?

Kyle: Not sure. It — it depends.

Mariah: Depends on what?

Kyle: Um, a couple things. A few issues to work out.

Mariah: Okay. Well, I hope those issues are very complicated and take a long time to resolve because tessa and I are getting married on may 13th. So please, please say that you will still be here. I mean, you were the first champion of our love, and the wedding wouldn’t be the same without you.

Adam: Mm. As much as I would love to stay here all day, we should get back to the office.

Sally: Do we have to?

Adam: There is so much at stake, and things could change any minute, so the answer is yes.

Sally: Okay. But before we go, there’s something that I need to ask you before we get dressed and put on our work personas.

Adam: What is it?

Sally: How did it go with sharon? I know you went to see her to offer your condolences, but you never said what happened.

Adam: [ Sighs ] It, um…it was hard.

Sally: Look, I don’t want to pry, okay? So if you don’t want to talk about it…

Adam: No, I’m okay. I just… sharon’s in a lot of pain. She has a lot of anger and grief, and it’s all very raw. Rey was a good man. He was good to her, so it’s a — it’s a shock and she’s struggling.

Sally: Are you glad you went?

Adam: Yeah. Yeah, she has a lot of people around to help her — she has nick and her kids — but she did say that I was the first person that she really broke down in front of. I pushed her, I told her that she could be herself around me, but she was trying to keep a lid on it, but the emotions just came pouring out. You don’t really want to hear this, do you?

Victoria: I really don’t want to get into it anymore. I wish that it had never happened. I don’t want to relive the accident or what led up to it.

Billy: Okay. I got to say, you make the cane look cool.

Victoria: I’m not afraid to whack you with it if I need to.

Billy: You know, it feels like you’re doing your best to avoid me ever since we had that conversation about ashland’s cancer scam. Do you regret being vulnerable with me?

Victoria: I regret most of my conversations with you.

Billy: Geez, I hope that’s not true. I really liked being there for you. It’s only fair with the amount of times you were there for me over the years.

Victoria: It’s not a contest, billy.

Billy: No, I know that, but it felt good that you were able to confide in me. Because you can. You know that, right?

Victoria: Yes, I do.

Billy: Can I ask you one more question?

[ Sighs ] Is ashland locke still in your life?

Kyle: I will do everything in my power to be here for your wedding. I’m so happy for you and tessa. I didn’t realize you had set a date.

Mariah: Oh, yeah, it’s coming together pretty quickly. It’s why you haven’t gotten a save-the-date e-mail yet. Yeah, we’ve had some — some complications.

Kyle: You mean rey’s death. I’m so sorry to hear about that. I heard from lola. She’s devastated.

Mariah: I know. She loved her brother so much.

Kyle: How are you doing?

Mariah: Um…I’m in shock. And I miss him. But I’m mostly concerned for my mom. You know, we wanted to push the wedding date back, but she wouldn’t let us. I think planning it brings her joy, and I certainly want her to have that.

Kyle: When your life turns upside down, you need touchstones and to have a purpose.

Mariah: Yeah. We want the wedding to be meaningful and symbolic, so we asked nick and my mom to walk us down the aisle.

Kyle: Those are perfect choices.

Mariah: And we were also thinking about who else we would like standing up there with us.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ] I see where you’re going with this.

Mariah: Are you interested?

Kyle: I would be honored to be your man of honor.

Mariah: Oh, um…sorry, not so fast. We had a different role in mind for you.

Kyle: Um…I didn’t mean to assume.

Mariah: No, no, no, we have a more important role in mind for you. How would you feel about officiating our wedding?

Victor: Kyle is now a member of the newman fold, alright?

Diane: Because he married your granddaughter.

Victor: And that means he’ll be accorded the security of a newman.

Diane: Whatever that means.

Victor: That means I have his back.

Diane: I just got back from reuniting with kyle. A meeting that jack helped arrange.

Victor: Really? That was a huge mistake on jack’s part.

Diane: No, I don’t think so. I had a positive first conversation with kyle. He’s married and in love, and I’m thrilled for him. And I promise I’m not going to do anything to interfere or make him upset in any way.

Victor: You’re delusional if you think you’d come back to town here and bring people peace and happiness. Especially not to your son kyle, whom you abandoned.

Diane: Victor, I mean no harm. I only want what’s best for kyle.

Victor: If that is the case, you’d get your behind on a bus, get the hell out of town. There’s one good thing. You know who I am and you know what I’m capable of. And it’s far more than sneaking into your hotel suite.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]

Victoria: I am not sharing any details about what happened between ashland and me.

Billy: I don’t need details. Maybe just some broad strokes.

Victoria: Alright. Ashland is leaving newman/locke and we are having our marriage annulled.

Billy: Well, that is a relief. I hope that means that you are finally believing the truth about him and that ashland is leaving town.

Victoria: I don’t know. I haven’t — I haven’t talked to him.

Billy: You haven’t talked to him since the accident?

Victoria: Briefly.

Billy: How briefly?

Victoria: Billy, I don’t see how this is any of your concern.

Billy: Look, I’m sure this is very conflicting for you. I mean, he saved your life, but that does not absolve him of his many crimes, and I — I just hope that he still doesn’t have a hold over you.

Victoria: I wish you would stop trying to psychoanalyze me.

Billy: Okay. I apologize.

Victoria: I know the only reason you’re doing this is so that you can say “I told you so.” I know — I know that I made a mistake with ashland, and I know you tried to warn me and I — i should’ve listened to you and to nicholas instead of dismissing your concerns. But the past is the past and it can’t be undone. The only thing that I can do right now is move forward, and that’s exactly what I intend to do.

[ Sighs ]

Lily: Victoria, hi.

Victoria: Hi, lily.

Lily: I’m really sorry to hear about the accident, and i hope that you’re feeling better.

Victoria: Well, you can ask billy about it because he seems to know everything.

Lily: What was that about? No matter who you are,

Billy: I think victoria is a little sensitive at the moment.

Lily: Well, what did you say to her?

Billy: I didn’t say anything bad, I really didn’T. I was simply showing concern for the mother of my children, because the truth is she could’ve been killed in that car accident.

Lily: Yeah, I understand that, but clearly she didn’t want to hear what you had to say.

Billy: No, then i inadvertently hit a nerve.

Lily: How?

Billy: I brought up ashland, and she got a little sensitive.

Lily: Well, she probably thinks it’s none of your business.

Billy: Yeah, that’s what she said.

Lily: I’m sure she doesn’t want you looking for ways to blame ashland.

Billy: Well, it’s so easy because he’s a criminal. And the truth is I feel like this whole situation is going to affect her judgment.

Lily: She’s still the same smart, savvy woman she’s been.

Billy: I know that.

Lily: I mean, is this a pattern with you, where you feel like you have to save the women in your life? Is that gonna happen with us? Are you gonna think that I can’t solve my own problems and you’re gonna interfere, whether I want you to or not?

Sally: Of course I want to hear about sharon. That’s why I asked. I want you to feel like you can tell me anything. Openness is the basis of our relationship. It’s why I told you about my past and the scam with the terminal illness, and I hope it’s why you told me about yours. We have baggage. But not with each other, and i want to keep it that way.

Adam: I concur.

Sally: So I’m glad that you went to see sharon. And I know that it can be hard helping someone through their grief, so I’m here if you need to talk.

Adam: Well, thank you.

Sally: And just so you know, I’m not jealous of sharon. Or chelsea. Might sound cocky, but I am pretty confident in our relationship.

Adam: Well, that is good to hear. And it’s different for me.

Sally: In what way?

Adam: At various times, I’ve been married, I’ve been obsessed and destructive and detached. But this — this is something else. Maybe because it began slowly. But it feels so right.

Sally: Very right. And you don’t feel guilty.

Adam: What do you mean?

Sally: Well, sharon is suffering and alone. And we’re happy. And dare I say it again — falling in love.

Adam: If anything, seeing sharon made me realize we might be taking this too slowly. And that may be the reason why i finally confessed that I’m falling in love with you, too. I mean, why waste time worrying about what other people think? Anything can happen. Life can change in an instant, so we need to grab every moment we can.

Sally: I couldn’t agree more.

[ Chuckles ] Mm. [ Chuckles ]

Victor: Adam, I’m in the office. You’re not here, but I need to talk to you, alright?

Nikki: There you are. I’ve been trying to reach victoria. Have you heard from her?

Victor: No.

Nikki: She’s not in her office, she’s not answering her calls or messages.

Victor: Well, why don’t i have someone look for her?

Nikki: No, that’s alright. I’m late for a meeting. I just can’t stand victoria not knowing.

Victoria: Not knowing what?

Nikki: Oh, I’m glad you’re here. We’ve been trying to reach you.

Victoria: I know. Look, I’m sorry I haven’t responded, but I’m just really not in the mood for any lectures about ashland. I’ve had enough of them for today.

Nikki: It’s not about that.

Victoria: Well, what is it then?

Nikki: Rey rosales.

Victoria: Mom, please, not right now.

Nikki: You are going to want to hear this. It’s about what caused the accident.

Victoria: Look, I don’t want to get into it. I really don’T. I have told chance everything that I can remember. I know everybody tells me that I’m not to blame, but then everybody else wants to hear more details, and it’s quite clearly my fault.

Victor: Will you kindly listen to your mother?

Nikki: The autopsy showed that rey had a heart attack. That’s what caused the accident and what caused his death.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Better skin from your body wash?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I’m relieved. I really feel terrible that that’s my first reaction, but I couldn’t stop blaming myself for rey’s death.

Nikki: Darling, it’s natural to feel relief. That’s why we wanted you to learn this news right away.

Victor: I hope this alleviates some of your guilt.

Victoria: Even though the accident was — was not my responsibility, I mean, it was still a tragedy and I was still involved. It’s gonna take me a little bit of time to put that behind me, i think.

Nikki: You’re right. But I hope this news helps. I wish I could stay longer and talk through this with you, but I have a meeting with the logistics team. I’ll call you later?

Victoria: Thank you, mom. The news did help. I just — I feel a little —

Nikki: Honey, you don’t have to explain. You’ve been through so much the last few weeks.

Victoria: I love you.

Nikki: I love you too.

Victoria: Okay. Well, I should get going, too. I came by looking for adam.

Victor: No, no, no, no. You and I need to…discuss something.

Victoria: And what’s that?

Victor: Adam’s position at newman/locke.

Victoria: Yes, that’s actually why I came by to talk to him. Do you know where he is?

Victor: Mnh-mnh. He’ll be here shortly.

Victoria: I came to tell him that his services as ceo are no longer needed.

Victor: I think that’s a mistake.

Victoria: Why? Why would you think that? Nothing has changed since this morning. I told you I’m ready to go back to work. We no longer need a temporary ceo.

Victor: [ Sighs ] Sweetheart, I admire and respect your desire to go back, but for heaven’s sake, you have a lot on your plate. Think of what you’ve gone through. Why not have adam be co-ceo?

Victoria: So we would just run the company together, adam and me?

Victor: Yes, adam and you. I think it’s time that the newmans show a united front, especially nowadays, you know?

Victoria: My answer is no. No, I don’t want and I don’t need adam in the mix. I was doing fine before ashland came along, and I will do fine now. I’ve accomplished a lot at newman, and we will be dropping the name “locke” as soon as possible. We’re gonna go back to the original name of newman enterprises.

Victor: I like that.

Victoria: I had a feeling you would.

Victor: But, sweetheart, we need to discuss adam’s position.

Victoria: There’s nothing to discuss. And if you’re going to force the issue, then you’re gonna have to make a choice — adam or me.

Billy: This is not a pattern. I never doubt your ability to handle any situation that you face. And I am very aware that the women in my life are smarter and more capable than I am. But that does not prevent me from being concerned about ashland locke.

Lily: I know that you don’t trust him.

Billy: I do not trust him, but it is past that at this point. I have a deep hatred for that man. He lied about having cancer. That must strike a chord with you.

Lily: Of course it does. It does, but I still don’t understand your need to interfere.

Billy: I don’t —

[ Sighs ] I — I’m advising victoria, okay? She can choose to listen to me or not. Victor is interfering. I’m not that bad.

Lily: Yeah, not yet.

Billy: Actually, victor and i may end up on the same side of this problem — doing anything we can to get ashland out of town.

Lily: What are you talking about?

Billy: Well, he’s still here. I mean, he was following her when that accident happened. He’s been kicked to the curb at newman/locke, and their marriage is being annulled, but yet, he’s still here. So to me, that means he’s up to something. Is he plotting revenge? I don’t know. But it’s ashland locke, so it’s not gonna be good.

Kyle: Officiating at your wedding, um…that’s a real honor, but I — I don’t know if I can say yes.

Mariah: It’s simple. You know, you can just get ordained online. I’ll even set you up.

Kyle: No, it’s not that.

Mariah: I mean, do you not want to do it?

Kyle: No, not at all, I would love to. It’s just, um…I’m — I’m dealing with some personal things right now, and I can’t commit to such an important role. I wouldn’t want to let you down.

Mariah: Well, you just said that you would do anything to be there, so what could possibly force you to let us down?

Kyle: Um…things come up.

Mariah: What is it? Is it something with you and summer? Oh, god, I hope not.

Kyle: No, no, no, we’re fine. We’re great, in fact.

Mariah: Look, I know that we haven’t talked a lot lately. You know, time zones and wedding planning — don’t even get me started on the adoption process. But you have always been somebody that I can count on. And I hope you feel the same way about me.

Kyle: You know that I do.

Mariah: So please tell me what’s going on, because it’s — it’s becoming increasingly obvious that something is wrong.

Kyle: Yeah, yeah, something is wrong, and…I’m still in shock. I’m not sure how I’m supposed to react.

Mariah: Kyle, what is going on?

Kyle: Can we go back to the house? This needs to be a very private conversation. I could really use your friendship right now. What are you recommending

Victor: I think you’re acting rashly. You haven’t thought this through.

Victoria: I don’t have to think it through. I know how I feel without having to do a deeper dive.

Victor: What happened to you lately has taken a toll on you, whether you like it or not. Two traumas — one, you find out that ashland locke bastard lied to you, is a total fraud. Number two, you almost got killed in an accident. What the hell are you talking about? You need time to process all this.

Victoria: I can handle it.

Victor: Why are you being so stubborn? Why don’t you let adam help you?

Victoria: My injuries are not that severe.

Victor: I’m not just talking about your physical maladies.

Victoria: As far as the emotional goes, yes, ashland hurt me, yes, he lied to me, but he’s out of my life now. End of story.

Victor: I happen to know that that son of a bitch has surreptitiously snuck into your office, playing on your emotions. I know he does. And he will continue to do so. And I’m not so sure if you’ve purged yourself of that bastard.

Victoria: Will you ever be able to give me full credit for being able to control my emotions? Your second guessing me is relentless, and I am done with it. If you choose adam, fine, he stays, but I go, and I will not look back.

Adam: Good to see you on your feet, victoria. Good for you. Gave us a real scare there.

Victoria: Thank you.

Adam: What did I miss?

Victoria: Dad will fill you in.

Victor: We have a problem, son.

Lily: Look, I despise what ashland did. And as a cancer survivor, i absolutely think that he should pay for the scam that he tried to pull. But we agreed that you were gonna let this go, because if you don’t, you’ll be fixated on it. And it’s gonna drive you crazy, and I do not want to watch you go down that same road again. So, please, I am asking you for the last time, please stop.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] There’s no easy way to say it, so I’ll just come out with it. My mom, she’S…alive.

Mariah: What?

Kyle: Diane is alive, and she’s here in genoa city.

Mariah: Okay. How? Why?

Kyle: She conspired to fake her death all those years ago to get a fresh start. She’s been living in los angeles rebuilding her life. She claims she’s changed.

Mariah: What is she doing in genoa city now?

Kyle: Trying to make amends.

Mariah: Amends?

[ Scoffs ] Amends — that’s, uh — that is —

Kyle: Insufficient?

Mariah: I mean, after all of your pain and all of those years, yes, absolutely yes.

Kyle: Yeah. She claims she was trying to protect me. She didn’t want to mess up my life.

Mariah: Thinking your mother is — is dead when she isn’t, there’s — there’s not much more messed up than that.

Kyle: I know, I know. She had a lot of explanations, and most of them were garbage, but some of them got to me. I mean, is it possible for someone to change that much?

Mariah: Uh…I don’t know. I would like to think so, obviously. I’m so sorry, kyle. I’m so sorry that this is happening to you. You don’t deserve it. And even if she has explanations, that doesn’t mean those are answers. And that’s what you need.

Kyle: After talking to her, I have a bunch more questions.

Mariah: So what does she want from you?

Kyle: Time to explain herself.

Mariah: With intention of a mother-son relationship? I mean, that’s a lot to ask.

Kyle: It is, which is why I’m drinking in the afternoon and i don’t know which way is up. New lash paradise mascara from l’oreal paris.

Adam: Let me guess — victoria has no interest in me staying on in a leadership role.

Victor: Let’s discuss that later, okay? Meanwhile, there’s something very urgent for us to discuss.

Adam: Well, what could possibly be more urgent than the future of newman?

Victor: Diane jenkins. She’s alive. She’s back in town.

Mariah: So what are you thinking? What do you want to do? How can I support you?

Kyle: I don’t know. My instinct is to say yes and welcome my mom back into my life. There are so many things i missed out on as a kid.

Mariah: I know. I get that. I bet this seems like a fairy tale, you know, getting this opportunity for a second chance.

Kyle: Exactly. I mean, you get it. My dad is nervous about the whole thing, but he’s worried I’m gonna get hurt. But how can I turn down an opportunity like this? We can forge a new relationship. It’s kind of like when I found out about harrison. Whole son I didn’t know I had.

Mariah: Yes, but it’s different. Harrison wasn’t pretending to be dead.

Kyle: I know, and I know fairy tales aren’t real, but this is everything I wished for as a kid. For my mom to be here again. And here she is. It’s amazing.

Mariah: Yes. But I’m just — I am afraid that you are setting yourself up to be hurt. Okay? Kyle, how can you trust her? How can you just let her walk back into your life? And why on earth would you let her anywhere near summer or harrison?

Diane: Jack, um…it’s me. I was hoping you’d pick up. In case you’re wondering, kyle’s reaction wasn’t what I was hoping for, but I guess it’s all I can expect right now. I did what I came to do, and i hope that there will be more in the future, but I guess there’s no guarantees. And that is why I am leaving for los angeles in the morning.

Proofread by Anita

[ Door beeps ]

Martin: Hello, gorgeous. I’m back.

Lucy: [ Sniffs ]

Martin: Little hot for all that fur, isn’t it?

Lucy: Mm-hmm. Sure is. And it’s about to get a whole lot hotter.


Valentin: I know the deal, and I will do what has to be done, no matter what it costs me.


Sonny: I’m sorry. Is this seat taken?

Nina: It is now.

Sonny: [ Sighs ]

Nina: [ Chuckles ]

Sonny: How you doing?

Nina: I’m doing alright. How are you doing?

Sonny: Girls’ night out? No?

Nina: No. Britt, she had a hard day, so…

Sonny: Oh, that’s going around.

Nina: Yeah, and Aunt Liesl, she actually just got a better offer, and I wasn’t ready to go home yet.

Sonny: I’m glad you stayed.

Nina: Yeah, me, too. But, actually, I’m surprised that you did.

Sonny: What do you mean?

Nina: Sonny, you haven’t spoken to Michael tonight?

Sonny: No. Why?

Nina: Then you don’t know.

Sonny: Know what?


Carly: Has there been an update?

Willow: My mom woke up, so I take it as a good sign.

Carly: Yeah, yeah, that’s positive, yeah.

Michael: Yeah, we’re — we’re hopeful.

Willow: Dr. Ashford’s in with her now, taking her off the respirator, so she must be getting stronger. Maybe I won’t lose my mother after all. How is she?


Maxie: I want to see you tomorrow.

Austin: Good.

Maxie: But Georgie and James, they have activities, and I need to bake or throw myself at the mercy of Eckert’s for four dozen cupcakes, which will most likely clean them out.

Austin: Maxie, it’s okay. If you don’t want to hang out tomorrow night, that’s — just say so.

Maxie: I do want to hang out tomorrow night. I do not want to ask my parents to babysit two nights in a row. And I don’t want to have you over and run the risk of my kids having a meltdown on you.

Austin: Okay, you don’t need to convince me of anything, really, but it does sound like you’re trying to convince yourself a little bit.

Maxie: Of what?

Austin: Well, that, you’re busy, that you’re too busy. But it’s okay. Maybe just, you know, two nights in a row is too much too soon.


[ Phone clatters ]

Elizabeth: What was that?

Finn: It’s okay. It’s okay.

Elizabeth: Oh. [ Chuckles ]

Finn: You just knocked something over. You knocked over your phone.

Elizabeth: I’m sorry. I got a little carried away. [ Chuckles ]

Finn: It’s alright. I like when you get carried away. I’m all for it.

Elizabeth: Being here with you, not thinking about the house or being scared, it feels really nice.

Finn: I’m glad you feel safe here.

Elizabeth: ‘Cause I’m with you.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Elizabeth: Oh. I’m sorry.

[ Both chuckle ]

Elizabeth: It’s Cameron. Just be a second. Hold on. Hi. Yeah, I’m okay. Finn’s here, so you don’t have to worry about me.


Maxie: Maybe you’re right. Going out two nights in a row doesn’t seem like that big of a deal. Or at least it wasn’t before I had kids. I’m not going to say, “I’m a different person now,” but I am still me. I’m just me with a lot less free time.

Austin: I get it.

Maxie: Really?

Austin: [ Chuckles ] No, not — not — not really, but… okay, what I’m about to say — I am in no way equating medical school with being a parent. Okay. But, you know, medical school’s really time-consuming, and everybody tells you that, you know, and you think you understand that, but you don’t at all until you’re in the middle of it, and then you realize that it’s been weeks since you had a minute to yourself so you could lay down in the grass and look at the sky. Time-wasting becomes a memory and spontaneity a thing of the past.

Maxie: Very perceptive.

Austin: Thanks. I’m super smart.

Maxie: [ Chuckles ] And very true. I used to be a spontaneous person. Probably too impulsive. It got me into trouble a few times.

Austin: I’ll bet. You miss that?

Maxie: Certain aspects of it. But I wouldn’t trade the life I have now for that in a million years. And something like going out one night and having a really good time just so I could do it again the next night? That doesn’t seem practical.

Austin: Mm-hmm.

Maxie: And that defines the difference. Now, when I think about going out, I have to figure out if it’s practical or not.

Austin: Right. Maxie, if this were just about time management, that would not be a problem. That’s okay. But it does seem to me like you’re just looking for an excuse to push me away.


Lucy: I will forgive you your long, long absences if you promise to greet me like this every time you return.

Martin: Well, I would’ve been back a lot sooner, if at all possible.

Lucy: [ Chuckles ] So, how’s your mom?

Martin: Mother’s fine. Could we not discuss her while we’re naked?

Lucy: [ Chuckles ] Point taken.

Lucy: Did I tell you how much I really, really, really missed you?

Martin: Oh, I think you just did, and the feeling’s mutual. But I am sorry that I missed your big deception IPO launch.

Lucy: Oh, me, too, because it was an amazing experience. It would’ve been a lot better if you had been there. You know, I just was not sure how lucrative the IPO was going to be.

Martin: Oh, yes, you were.

Lucy: Yes, I was.

[ Both laugh ]

Lucy: And it was so glorious to be proven right. And you know what the other best part is?

Martin: Mm?

Lucy: Well, besides oodles and oodles of nice cash.

Martin: There is that.

Lucy: We can stop hiding our relationship.

Martin: I don’t think Valentin would be any more open to the idea of me being seen with his wildly successful business partner.

Lucy: Who cares? Fire him as a client. You don’t need him. I am very rich.

Martin: Why, Lucy Coe, are you suggesting that I become a kept man?

Lucy: [ Chuckles ] Okay, look at it this way. I am going to be hobnobbing with the rich and the powerful, and I’m going to be able to just throw clients, all types of other clients, right your way.

Martin: That is a gracious and generous offer, but I like to be in control of my own financial destiny, not to mention my personal life.

Lucy: Okay, let’s just hold on for a minute. So if this isn’t about the money, then why the hesitation? Do you — do you have a problem with us going public with our relationship?


Nina: I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you know Harmony, Willow’s mother. Well, Sonny, she got into a terrible accident. She’s in the ICU right now. She — she may not make it. Willow and Michael, they’re, I’m sure, at G.H., And I’m certain I wouldn’t be welcome, but I think maybe you should be there.

Sonny: No. I don’t think I’m welcome, either.


TJ: Your mother is breathing on her own. She’s — she’s getting supplemental oxygen, and she’s in and out of consciousness, which is to be expected. Your mom is still in critical condition. We had to cut her surgery short because she’s hypotensive. So hopefully she improves through the night, and we can go back in tomorrow and complete the surgery.

Willow: Can I see her?

Michael: It might help Harmony to hear Willow’s voice again.

TJ: That’s true. I never doubt the power of a mother’s love, so you can go in alone. And, Willow, it’s vital that your mom remains calm because any stress could cause a setback that — that she might not recover from.


Maxie: I am not pushing you away. That being said, I did just spend the last year of my life in abject fear of Peter. So, yes, I might be extra cautious about getting close to somebody new. I also might be misreading red flags and green flags and checkered flags. I’m really out of practice.

Austin: That’s a lot of flags.

Maxie: [ Chuckles ]

Austin: Maxie, the last thing I want to do is replace Peter in your life as a source of dread.

Maxie: No, you’re nothing like Peter, and I definitely don’t dread spending time with you.

Austin: Thank you for saying both of those things. But maybe you’re just starting to realize that it’s too soon to start something new.


Lucy: Wearing disguises and slinking around in hotel rooms has been very, very titillating. I’ve loved it. But I think it’s time to ditch the wigs and put our relationship on blast. Unless, of course, you really don’t want to be seen with me.

Martin: No, no. Lucy, that’s not it at all. Having you on my arm would definitely be a source of pride. But that pride would dissipate if I felt I was beholden ’cause you were paying my way. I mean, call me a neanderthal, but that’s just the way I feel.

Lucy: You, sir, are not a neanderthal. You are a gentleman, and it’s very, very charming. It’s just, it would be so nice to eat out sometimes instead of always ordering room service.

Martin: You know, you’re right. I mean, I’m never going to take your money, but I think I am done kowtowing to Valentin.

Lucy: Do you… you really mean that?

Martin: Hell yeah. If he doesn’t like the idea of the two of us together, well, that’s just too bad.

Lucy: [ Chuckles ]

Martin: ‘Cause I can always find another client. I just don’t think I could find another you.


Sonny: Michael and I had a fight, and things were said that can’t be forgotten.

Nina: Or forgiven?

Sonny: It’s over. We’re done. You can’t really get over this, you know, right?

Nina: Sonny, I don’t believe that. I know how much you love Michael. Sonny, there has to be some hope for reconciliation.

Sonny: My son disrespected me, and that’s something I can’t easily forgive.

Nina: Those are tough words.

Sonny: Yeah.

Nina: But I know how painful this is for you.

Sonny: Okay, so you know me.

Nina: Mm-hmm.

Sonny: It’s strange to me that Michael and Willow are going through a big life, you know, event. They don’t know if Harmony’s going to live or die, and nobody can pick up the phone to just give me a call. It’s not — you know, I know it’s not my… it’s not my place, so… speaking of place, this place looks like it’s going to be cleared pretty soon, right?

Nina: Mm.

Sonny: And then it’s just going to be [Chuckles] The two of us.


Willow: Dr. Ashford says you’re doing great. Keep it up, okay? Don’t push yourself. Rest. I’ll be right here whenever you wake up.

[ Monitor beeping ]

Willow: I don’t understand what happened tonight, but I want you to know, whatever it was, we’ll get through it together. I love you, Mom.

Michael: Thanks again for letting Willow go in there.

TJ: I know what it’s like waiting for your mom. You know, all that detached medical training, it just goes out the window.

Carly: You were great with Willow.

TJ: Thanks. I’ll be back.

Carly: [ Sighs ]

[ Beeping continues ]

Willow: Mom. Hi. Hi. It’s okay. I’m here. You’re going to be okay.

Harmony: What…?

Willow: Um, there was an accident. You were hit by a car, but you’re at G.H. Right now, and they are taking really good care of you.

[ Beeping quickens ]

Willow: Mom, are you in pain? I’ll get the nurse.

Harmony: [ Weakly ] No, Willow. [ Sighs ] I’m so sorry.

[ Beeping continues ]


Finn: Okay, sweetheart, I love you. Yeah, I love Uncle Chase, too. Sure, you can tell him. Alright. Good night. I’ll see you in the morning.

Elizabeth: Okay, then let’s just talk in the morning, alright? I love you. Bye. Hm.

Finn: Cam okay? Still staying in his friend’s dorm room?

Elizabeth: Oh, yeah, he’s fine. Chase and Violet having a good time?

Finn: They’re camped out in the living room as we speak.

Elizabeth: Do you remember when we went camping?

Finn: We should do it again. I like camping with you.

Elizabeth: [ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Elizabeth: Oh, I’m so sorry.

[ Both chuckle ]

Elizabeth: I’m sure it’s another kid. Yeah, it’s Aiden. Oh. He’s still asking about franco’s ghost. I should call him.

Finn: Yeah. Yeah, you should. I understand. Um, I’m going to go, but, um… I’m right next door. Just bang on the wall if you need me.

Elizabeth: [ Bangs on wall ] [ Chuckles ]

Finn: [ Sighs ]

Elizabeth: Oh, you know what? You, um, take this extra key in case, you know, I bang on the wall in the middle of the night.

Finn: Okay. Hey. Do me a favor. Latch this door anyway, okay?

Elizabeth: Okay.

Finn: You are so beautiful.

Elizabeth: [ Chuckles ]

Finn: Good night.

Elizabeth: Good night.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Elizabeth: Hey, I was just going to call you, but you beat me to it. Yeah, I’m okay. How about you? What have you guys been up to?


Lucy: Are you sure tonight is the night for us to go public?

Martin: It’s overdue. You and I have been hiding out too long.

Lucy: [ Exhales sharply, chuckles ]

Valentin: Martin. You’re back. Looking cozy with my business associate. Hello, Lucy Coe. How are you?

Lucy: Cozy. We’re dating.

Valentin: You don’t say.


Maxie: Well, you make a valid point. Between transitioning Bailey into my family, juggling the schedule of three kids with my work schedule, and the IPO, and getting out of the havoc Peter wreaked in my life, I mean, a new relationship is the last thing I should be thinking about.

Austin: Okay. Mm. There you have it. Look, Maxie, I’m not… I don’t want to rush you into anything. I don’t want you to do anything you don’t want to do. And we started as friends. We can just go back to being friends.

Maxie: To hell with that.


Nina: Thank you. Are you still drinking club soda?

Sonny: I told you, I’m cutting back on my drinking.

Nina: That’s so great. And how do you feel?

Sonny: I feel great. Workout’s incredible, and my energy is…

Nina: [ Chuckling ] Oh, boy, watch out. Well, I’m glad you’re taking care of yourself, because… I want you around for a very long time.

Sonny: Are you going to make my sticking around worth it?

Nina: I’ll do my best.

Sonny: Hmm. Here’s your chance.

Nina: Uh-oh.

Sonny: Uh-huh.

Nina: [ Chuckles ]

🎵 Darkness calling / to the shadows of your love / nowhere to run 🎵

Sonny: Dance with me.

🎵 Take me / I’m falling 🎵


Michael: That’s not dinner.

TJ: Well, it’s portable, and theoretically more nutritious than potato chips, so… How’s Willow holding up?

Michael: She’s still in there with Harmony. My mom’s in the waiting room in case she comes out.

TJ: Good.

Michael: Willow knows about Alexis and my mom, by the way.

TJ: That’s got to make this even harder for her. I understand having a difficult relative that you’re not sure about letting into your life completely. You and Willow both have my sympathy.

Michael: How do you do that? How do you — how do you genuinely care about someone who tried to kill Molly’s mom?

TJ: First of all, I took an oath about doing no harm, but beyond that, it comes down to humanity. People who do bad things, people who we don’t like, are still people. So it’s not my job to judge, Michael. It’s my job to heal. And if I ever cross that line, it’s time to put down my stethoscope.

Michael: You’re a better man than I am.

TJ: Uh, don’t give me too much credit. I feel things. Oh, I feel things. But I have to do my part. As for Harmony, so far, she’s proven to be a fighter. So if she gets through this, I’ll have done my part, and she’ll have to ultimately face the consequences of her actions.

Michael: Yeah, but, I mean, would that — would that really be for the best, right? I’m thinking of Willow.

TJ: I hear you, I hear you. But isn’t it better if Willow has the chance to talk to Harmony about what happened rather than Harmony dying with all her questions left unanswered?

Willow: Mom, Mom. Y-you have to stay calm, okay? Do you need me to get a doctor?

Harmony: No.

[ Monitor beeping rapidly ]

Harmony: Willow… I love you.

Willow: I love you, too, Mom.

Harmony: I loved being your mom.

Willow: I’m glad we’ve reconnected, but we have — we have more memories to make.

Harmony: Wiley?

Willow: Yes, yes. Wiley he loves his grandma, and that’s why you have to get better. So you can make a bunch of memories with Wiley.

Harmony: Won’t.

Willow: “Won’t” what, Mom? Look at me. Listen. You will see Wiley again. All you have to do is rest. We’ll — we’ll figure everything out. We’ll find a way to make it better.

Harmony: HI have to… [ Breathes shakily ] Have to — have to tell… [ Beeping continues ]


Elizabeth: [ Sighs ] Oh, no. Finn. Finn!

[ Door beeps ]

Elizabeth: Finn.

Finn: Oh. Hey, hey. Are you alright? What happened? I don’t know. I was in the shower. I didn’t even hear anything. What’s going on? Why is this happening?


Carly: “Harmony suffers from intense guilt about the child”?

Harmony: Those are private. Give them to me.

Carly: “Harmony rationalizes keeping the child.”

Harmony: This is all lies. Neil Byrne was a drug addict. Give it to me.

Carly: No. This is what you meant about Willow not being yours. That’s what you’re doing here, right? You’re burning papers that prove that Willow isn’t your biological daughter.

Harmony: [ Grunts ]

Carly: Oh!

Michael: Mom.

Carly: Hey. [ Sighs ] Those for me?

Michael: Yeah.

Carly: Thank you.

Michael: So what’s got you so distracted?

Carly: I was just remembering when Harmony attacked me.

Michael: Yeah, I was just talking to TJ about that. He’s got this Hippocratic oath to help clarify things, but I don’t think I can ever forgive Harmony now. Thank God you’re okay.

Carly: I am. Sore. But I’m okay.

[ Both sigh ]

Michael: I know — I know that Harmony’s Willow’s mom, but I can’t help but think that she’s better off without her.

Carly: This is going to be really difficult for Willow.

Michael: Even if Harmony survives, she’s going to be facing criminal charges. Yeah, it’s hard when a parent betrays your love.

Carly: Does Sonny know about this? Did you tell him what’s going on?

Michael: Nah, I don’t intend to.

Carly: Michael, hey. No matter what happened between Sonny and me, I want you to have a relationship with your father. It’s important.

Michael: As you know, he put Nina first — ahead of you, ahead of his whole family. So I don’t want his support. I wouldn’t take it even if it was offered. I don’t want anything from him.


Martin: Valentin, I am proud to confirm that miss Lucy and i are indeed keeping company. However, I can assure you that my clients are never subject to pillow talk, and you can rely on the same discreet service that you’ve always receive from me.

Valentin: Yeah? And what if I still feel uncomfortable with my lawyer and my close business associate becoming involved?

Martin: Then I’ll be very sorry to see you go, but I cannot allow anyone to dictate my personal life.


Austin: You good?

Maxie: Yeah. You make me happy.

Austin: Well, Maxie, you make me really happy. But I don’t want to be the kind of guy that you feel like you ought to make excuses, you know, and hang out —

Maxie: Whoa, wait. Hold on. No. Are you done talking? Because I think we were in the middle of something.

Austin: Yeah. We were. Maybe we should finish what we started.

Georgie: What is he doing here? Mommy?


Harmony: Must…tell…you —

Willow: Mom, Mom, you have to stay calm, okay? Mom, Mom.

[ Monitor beeping rapidly ]

Harmony: Willow, no —

Willow: Please, please, mom, I have to get —

Harmony: Willow, listen.

Willow: Mom, mom.

[ Beeping continues ]

Willow: Mom.

TJ: Oh, my God. This is Dr. Ashford. Page Dr. Carter for me, stat. You need to go. Now.

Willow: Mom, it’s okay. It’s okay. You’re going to be okay. You just need to sleep, heal. Wiley and I will be here waiting for you, okay?

TJ: You feeling anxious?

Willow: She was trying to tell me something, and her telemetry spiked. Carly, whatever it is, just tell me, please.

Carly: What did Harmony say?

Willow: She said that she loves me and she’s sorry. She wanted to say more, but she was getting upset. Maybe she remembered what she’d done to you and Alexis? In the chapel, you told me what happened but not why. That’s what I can’t understand.

Carly: Okay, Willow, there will be plenty of time to talk about this. I promise you that. But right now, you need to focus on your mother.

TJ: So I just spoke with the attending physician, Dr. Carter, and he agreed that your mom only needs a sedative. So I’ve administered it, and she’s resting now.

Willow: Did I cause that because she was trying to talk to me?

TJ: No, no, your mom’s condition remains critical, and, right now, it’s most important she rest.

Michael: Let’s go for a walk, okay? Get some fresh air.

Willow: No, I’ll be okay.

Carly: Hey, a walk and some air can do wonders, so go with Michael, and I will let you know if your mom wakes up. I promise.

Willow: Okay, then.

Michael: Okay. Come on.

Carly: [ Sighs ] God. Willow thinks Harmony remembers what happened on Rana Point. Maybe that’s why she’s so upset.

TJ: Well, if that’s the case, that is another good sign cognitively. Right now, the most urgent concern is how much damage her body sustained when the car hit her.

[ Pager beeps ]

Carly: [ Sighs ]

TJ: Excuse me. I have to consult with Dr. Carter.

[ Monitor beeping steadily ]


Valentin: You make a handsome couple. I wish you both the best.

Martin: Then you’re still on my client roster?

Valentin: I hope so. Near the top. I’m happy for you both.

Lucy: [ Giggles ] Uh, thank you, partner. I promise you it will be smooth sailing from here on out.

Valentin: I will continue to be happy if I can count on your support at ELQ.

Lucy: Well, under your leadership, ELQ has certainly prospered, so I don’t have any plans of withdrawing my support at all.

Valentin: Well, then sail away. Excellent news all around. Enjoy the evening.

Lucy: [ Giggles ]

Martin: You, lovely lady, are one shrewd customer.

Lucy: Shut up. Kiss me.


Maxie: Georgie, what are you doing out of bed?

Georgie: I can’t sleep. I’m hungry.

Austin: I should go.

Maxie: Oh.

Georgie: Yes.

Maxie: Wait. Uh, Georgie, please be nice to my friend, Austin.

Austin: No, it’s — it’s — it’s — it’s no big deal. I totally understand. And Georgie didn’t expect to see me here when she woke up.

Maxie: Right. I do need to get this girl back to bed.

Georgie: No.

Austin: I definitely need to go.


Elizabeth: I got out of the shower and found everything just like this.

Rory: And you heard nothing?

Elizabeth: No, nothing. And the room was empty.

Finn: I didn’t see anyone in the corridor when I ran over. I was right next door.

Rory: Was the door open or closed?

Elizabeth: I-I don’t — I don’t know. I don’t remember.

Finn: It was closed and locked. I had to use my key.

Rory: And, uh, what about the security latch?

Elizabeth: Oh, God. Aiden called me. I got distracted. I don’t think I latched it.

Finn: Someone with a key card could have entered.


Willow: Well, I definitely took a breath of fresh air, and you’re right, it helped, but I don’t want to be too far from the ICU.

Michael: Hey, I understand. [ Sighs ] Can I, um… can I get you anything? Water? Anything from the cafeteria?

Willow: Just stay with me.

Michael: I’m not going anywhere.

Willow: I keep wondering what my mom was trying to tell me. Why did she attack Carly and Alexis? It doesn’t make any sense. I keep turning over all kinds of scenarios.

Michael: Hey, hey, hey, hey. Don’t — don’t do that, okay? You’re going to drive yourself crazy. Look, we can’t know what we don’t know until we do.

Willow: Michael, did Carly say anything more to you about what happened tonight?

[ Monitor beeping ]

Harmony: You tell?

Carly: Willow knows that you tried to kill me and Alexis, but she doesn’t know why. She doesn’t know that you’re not her birth mother. I didn’t hold back for you. I held back for Willow’s sake because she’s got a hell of a lot going on right now. But she deserves to know the truth.


🎵 Falling / till I’m drowning in your love / nowhere to come up / take me / down to / the bottom of your love / and I surrender it is nice to be in 🎵


Elizabeth: It is nice to be in a room with other people. Oh, there’s Lucy.

Lucy: Oh. Hey, you two. How’s… well, what is it? What’s going on? Elizabeth, are you okay?

Elizabeth: You know that I’m staying here for a bit, and…um….

Finn: Someone broke into her room.

Lucy: What? Here at the metro court? That is so horrible. With everything that’s going on, I’m so sorry.

Finn: The police are investigating.

Lucy: Okay, good. Uh, hey, why don’t you two, uh, come and join me and Martin?

Finn: Oh.

Elizabeth: Oh, no, that’s okay. We’re — we’re just getting some tea.

Lucy: Some tea? You need whiskey in that tea. Come on. Join us, please.

Elizabeth: You know, I-I left my phone in the room. The boys might call me.

Finn: I’ll go get it.

Elizabeth: Thank you.

Finn: Okay.


Maxie: I’m sorry we got interrupted just when things were getting interesting.

Austin: Yeah. We have plenty of time.

Maxie: I like the sound of that.

Georgie: Mommy, I need more apples.

Austin: Good night, Maxie.

Maxie: Good night.


Finn: Hey. Anything?

Rory: I reviewed the security footage at the time of the incident. Unfortunately, this room is out of the camera’s range, but I did confirm that nobody entered or exited the elevator on this floor or used the stairs.

Finn: Okay, that’s, uh — that’s Elizabeth’s phone. Can I take this to her?

Rory: Sure.

Finn: Okay. What about the vacant rooms, alright? You’ll check those, too, right? I mean, the intruder could be hiding in one of them.

Rory: They’re currently being checked.

Finn: There’s got to be something else, alright? I mean, this person doesn’t just vanish into thin air. How does someone break into Elizabeth’s room and leave no evidence?


Lucy: Forget the tea, okay? Get a hot toddy instead. For Elizabeth. I don’t need one.

Martin: Agreed. ‘Cause you, woman, are hot enough as it is.

Lucy: [ Chuckles ] Go. [ Chuckles ] [ Sighs ]

Elizabeth: So this is new.

Lucy: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Yeah, it is. He — he’s so cute, right? Cute. Oh, sorry. Uh, back to you. What can you do? What are you going to do?

Elizabeth: I don’t know. I thought I would be safe here, but it seems that whatever is going on is following me.

Lucy: Okay, well, I’m sure the police can figure this out and figure out who’s doing this.

Elizabeth: I think the police may be out of their depth on this one. I might need a different kind of expert.

Lucy: Okay.

Elizabeth: I would like the name of that medium you mentioned.


[ Applause ]

N’neka: Nice moves. Maybe Curtis should think about a floor show.

Nina: Yeah. That’s funny. Um… I should go home.

Sonny: Need a ride?

Nina: No, I called earlier. The car’s actually waiting for me.

Sonny: Thanks for the dance.

Nina: No, thank you for the dance. Good night, Sonny.

Sonny: Good night, Nina.

Nina: [ Chuckles ]

Sonny: [ Chuckles ]


Michael: I’m guessing my mom told you as much as she told me, that she went to Alexis’ house, Harmony was there, they got into a fight, and then Harmony — Harmony drugged her.

Willow: [ Scoffs ] But why?

Michael: I don’t know.

Willow: Well, your mom does.

Michael: [ Sighs ] Yes, and she’ll tell you, okay? She will. But Willow, knowing right now, whatever it is, it’s not going to change anything. We just — we have to wait. And I get it. Waiting is torture, but… sometimes it’s best not to know, at least in the short term. That way you can just focus on what’s right in front of you, and that is that Harmony’s in critical condition, and that’s scary, right, but she’s made it this far, she loves you, and she’s going to get through this. Maybe that is all that matters.

Harmony: [ Weakly ] Willow.

Carly: Willow’s here. She just stepped out, but I can text her.

Harmony: No, I need to… I have to…

Carly: Okay, I’m going to get somebody in here for you, okay?

Harmony: N-N-Nina.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Mac (to Robert): What if you do the parenthood thing all over again?

Anna (to Felicia): You’re not…

Valentin: Maybe it again.

Nina (to Phyllis): There’s a way forward for Sonny and me.

Sonny (into phone): I can’t wait to see you.

Sasha: That means that there’s hope.

Carly: You need to get back to the ICU.

Harmony: Willow can never know.

Sonny: Okay. So the double wedding ended with nobody getting married?

Chad: That’s right. We had one bride, three grooms, and not a single “I do.” It was a very salem wedding.

Sonny: I’m sorry to stop you, but, chad, can we– can we get back to leo, please?

Chad: You mean his devastation…

Sonny: Mm-hmm.

Chad: His utter defeat, his total public humiliation?

Sonny: Oh, that it is, like, the most incredible freudenschade ever. I just–I wish I could have seen what his face looked like when you showed up with his first husband.

Leo: The face looked just like this: Ready to kill.

[Dramatic music]

Craig: [Sighs]

[Knock at door] Go away.

[Urgent knocking] Whoever it is, go away.

Nancy: Craig, it’s me, nancy.

Craig: Are you here for your “I told you so” moment? You deserve it. God knows I do.

Xander: Hi, maggie.

Maggie: Xander. Oh, my goodness. It’s so good to see you, aw.

Xander: It’s good to see you too. I heard you were back. How’s sarah?

Maggie: Well, she’s settling into the clinic. Everyone there is– they’re wonderful, but… there hasn’t been any change.

Xander: I’m sorry. Must have been hard leaving her like that.

Maggie: Well, they said it was better that I do. Wait a minute. What are you doing here? I thought you and gwen would be on your honeymoon.

Xander: Yeah, well… there was no honeymoon because there was no wedding.

[Laughter] But we should go get those tuxes fitted. I don’t wanna be late for my own wedding.

Gwen: Oh, yeah. So… hey, the next time that I see you…

Xander: I’ll be making an honest woman of you.

Gwen: [Laughs] Yeah, we’ll see about that.

[Door clicks open] Xander?

Jack: Guess again.

Jennifer: Yeah. Thanks, shawn. And please let me know if there’s anything that I can do to help. Yeah, and we’ll just be praying that ciara is found safe and very soon. All right, bye-bye.

Abigail: Do the police have any leads at all?

Jennifer: No, no. This world has gone mad. Ciara’s missing. Christian maddox is on the loose. Allie is possessed by the devil.

Abigail: You know, maybe this isn’t really a good time.

Jennifer: No, honey, I’m sorry. No, what’s going on?

Abigail: It’s nothing.

Jennifer: No, you came here for a reason. Really, what is it?

Gwen: Just so you know, your precious grandmother, I killed that old bitch on purpose.

Jennifer: Abigail, what is it?

Abigail: It’s about gwen.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Maggie: Xander, what happened?

Xander: Look, let’s just– let’s sit down, okay?

Maggie: Honey, are you all right? You were so determined to get married.

Xander: Maggie, I just– I couldn’t go through with it. There were– there were things about gwen that I didn’t know.

Maggie: Like what?

Xander: [Sighs] It’s about sarah.

Gwen: Well, I sure wasn’t expecting to see you. The last thing you said to me was that you were done with me.

Jack: This was jennifer’s idea.

Gwen: Oh, come on. Don’t joke. Nobody’s that wonderful.

Jack: Don’t you dare. Don’t you dare say anything about her.

Gwen: You’re right. You’re right. It’s a force of habit. Always attack, never admit. Sorry.

[Sighs] Yeah, like you’re ever gonna believe I’m sorry, like you’re ever gonna believe a single word that comes out of my mouth again. This is true, though. Besides xander, I– I cannot even bear to imagine what last night must have been like for you.

Jack: Wasn’t “father of the bride,” was it? I forgave you over and over.

Gwen: You forgave the unforgivable, and I threw all that forgiveness back in your face.

Jack: [Sighs] Jennifer says– last night when I told you I was done with you, I meant it. I hate what you did. But jennifer said–says I won’t be able to pull it off. There’s nothing I can do about the fact that you’re my daughter. I can’t be done with you.

Gwen: Well, my mum managed to pull it off. Why can’t you? I mean, god, haven’t I given you enough bloody reasons?

Jack: More than enough. When I think about what you did to abigail, to my family, I can, in some weird, dark deveraux way, understand why you did it, but this, what you did to sarah, is unfathomable.

Gwen: Again, I don’t expect you to believe me, but the reason I did that– and I have a hard time believing it myself, but… the reason I did that…

Jack: What? You gonna tell me the devil made you do it?

Gwen: In a way, yes.

Limu emu

Chad: How did you get in here?

Leo: I told harold I was the new french maid. Does it matter how I got in here? Did you think you could do what you did without one final confrontation, like I was just gonna slink away?

Sonny: Certainly hope so.

Leo: At least she had the kishkes to show up at the wedding and look me in the eye as she shattered my dreams, while you, no doubt, were cowering in the kiriakis fruit cellar, terrified of the forces you’d unleashed.

Sonny: I had a work call. Otherwise–oh, yeah, no, I wouldn’t have missed it.

Leo: A work call.

[Mockingly] “This is sonny. I’m 6’3″ with a swimmer’s build.” Please.

Chad: Leo, don’t you think the moral outrage would pack a bigger punch if you were an innocent victim and not a– well, how should I put it– a manipulative, conniving little worm?

Leo: Oh, you and the wife, the moral police, the jim and tammy faye of salem blowing up not one marriage but two in the name of middle-class morality.

Sonny: Okay, I think both the upper class and the lower class would agree that, you know, bigamy and kidnapping are, um, wrong.

Leo: Okay, you keep telling yourself that this all stems from your desire to see justice done. I’ve known this entire time what your little crusade was all about, and it’s rather pathetic.

Sonny: What?

Chad: Okay. I’ll bite. What’s it all about?

Leo: Obviously sonny wants me back.

Craig: Go ahead. Enjoy yourself. You were right. Leo is a gold digger, and I was an utter fool. Oh, wait, nancy. Please, don’t close that door. By now, all salem knows what an idiot I was. Go ahead. Be as loud as you want. Rub it in. Remind me that you told me that I would regret the day that I let leo stark into my life.

Nancy: It’s all true, but that’s not why I’m here.

Craig: Oh, really? Then why are you here?

Nancy: To say I’m sorry.

[Dramatic music]

Gwen: If I try to explain it, it will just sound like I’m trying to justify what I did, and that’s not possible.

Jack: No, it’s not.

Gwen: Last night, I found myself sitting in a cell– the first night of many, many nights I’d be sitting in a cell. And… if I closed my eyes, I would see xander staring at me, disgusted. And I’d see you staring at me, repulsed. So I didn’t close my eyes again all night. I just tried to understand, how did I get here? How did I– how did I make it impossible for the only two people that I care about in the entire world– how did I make it so impossible for them to care about me? You are… probably the most forgiving person imaginable, and yet… you came here because you won’t, you… can’t give up on being a father to me.

[Sighs] Yet you can’t even look at me.

Jack: You’re the one not looking at me.

Gwen: You’re right. Last night, I thought about all the things I did to you… and to your family and to my sister and to… xander… and sarah and her mother, and… I realized I did all that to get what I wanted. But I have nothing I want, nothing.

[Sighs] And then… I sort of had this “come to jesus” moment where I realized that all those things I did, sort of like my mum putting the spike in her arm, when someone does something over and over and over again to ensure that they stay the same miserable human being. And, you know, I’ve been telling myself for months that kristen dimera blackmailed me into doing what I was doing, but really… she was just like my mother’s drug dealer. And just like my mum did… I put a spike in my own arm.

Sonny: [Laughs] I want you back? Okay, that’s like saying, “oh, gosh, oh, I wish my ibs would flare up again.”

Chad: That–you know, sonny, I don’t know. Maybe he’s onto something. People say there’s a fine line between love and hate.

Sonny: Yeah, idiotic people. You know what? I will never forget what you did to me, and I am ecstatic that I got to play a part in stopping you from doing it to anyone else.

Leo: What I have with craig is nothing like the dreary time I had with you. I love craig. I never even liked you. As you may recall, I was paid to go out with you. It was a job– one I did inadequately, I might add, because you’re not my type, and you’re a d-minus in bed.

Sonny: [Laughs] What?

Leo: The only reason you didn’t flunk is because I gave you extra credit for effort. He may have lacked finesse, but his enthusiasm was exhausting.

Sonny: Oh, that is a crock, and you know it.

Leo: I have it on tape.

Sonny: Yeah, I’ve seen those tapes, and you were very into it.

Leo: I was faking it.

Sonny: Okay, then what about the moaning?

Leo: Fake.

Sonny: The yelling?

Leo: Fake.

Sonny: The panting?

Leo: Fake.

Sonny: The screaming?

Leo: Fake. I faked it all. Sorry, babe.

Craig: You’re sorry. What do you have to be sorry for? You didn’t do anything, nancy.

Nancy: Craig, that’s not what I meant. I mean I’m sorry that this happened to you.

Craig: Really?

Nancy: Really. Look. I know what it’s like to love someone so much… that you ignore the abundant evidence that’s right in front of your eyes. It happened to me, and now it’s happened to my best friend.

Xander: Of all people, I should have been able to see through gwen’s lies.

Maggie: I’m not blaming you for what gwen did, but you did leave sarah behind the moment you found out that she wasn’t going to immediately recover.

Xander: [Sighs]

Maggie: I’m sorry. You know…

[Sighs] I’m not being fair.

Xander: No, I– I think you’re being fair and accurate.

Maggie: No, I gave you my blessing… even if I really didn’t mean it. I shouldn’t be taking out my anger at gwen on you. I know that you have every right to get on with your life. And anyway, this isn’t the time for recriminations. We need to figure out what we should do next. I mean, now that sarah wasn’t given the right antidote but some dose of the original drug… there’s a chance that that antidote might work.

Xander: You’re right.

Maggie: I’m gonna call kayla.

Xander: No, I already have. Kayla thinks there’s a good chance that the antidote can still work. I asked chad to reach out to rolf again.

Maggie: Well, that’s wonderful.

Xander: No, not really. Rolf managed to get himself into trouble with some chemistry experiment gone wrong. He’s in solitary confinement.

Maggie: Oh, we have gotta get ahold of that drug.

Xander: You know what? I have an idea.

Jack: When kristen blackmailed you, told you what she’d done to sarah, didn’t you see that you had to tell xander, tell maggie?

Gwen: If I told xander the truth, I knew I’d lose him. I knew that he loved sarah more than he loved me.

Jack: No, you didn’t know that. You feared that. What you should have known was that you were carrying all the risk. Didn’t you see back then what could have happened to you and ava if you’d been caught? Breaking a convicted prisoner out of prison carries a hefty minimum sentence.

Gwen: So does murder.

Jack: What are you talking about?

Jennifer: Abigail, you’re scaring me. Whatever it is, just tell me.

Abigail: It’s about grandma. Oh, god, it’s hard to even say it. This–gwen said to me– these are her exact words– “I killed that bitch on purpose.” My asthma felt anything but normal.

Leo: The only reason I had anything to do at all with you was money.

Sonny: Are you kidding? That’s the exact reason you went after craig.

Leo: In the beginning, maybe, but I fell in love with him. And now he hates me because of the two of you.

Chad: Does it ever occur to you to take responsibility for your own actions, leo? Craig hates you because you lied to him over and over again.

Sonny: Yeah. You know what? And you wouldn’t even be legally married to him even if we hadn’t done anything. You know, you could have just come clean with him, told him you had a husband.

Leo: Why do you care? It’s not like craig was your friend. You think you were doing him a favor? Now he’s just as miserable as I am.

Leo: Okay, trust me, leo, it’s not that hard to get over you.

Leo: That is not true. And deep down, craig knows that what we had is real, or I never would’ve signed that prenup. Oh, god, I hate that word. But I never would’ve signed it if all I cared about was taking him to the cleaners.

Chad: But what are you doing here? You’re trying to convince the wrong guys.

Leo: You’re right. But since you were so intent on making me pay, I want you both to know that now it’s my turn.

Craig: I still can’t believe leo has a husband.

Nancy: Oh, he does look good in a dress. Too soon? I’m sorry, he does. But out of that dress, he’s not as good-looking as you are. You are still quite a catch, craig wesley.

Craig: Thank you, sweetheart. Right back at you.

Jennifer: Gwen told you that she killed my mother on purpose?

Abigail: That’s right.

Jennifer: No, honey, she kept denying it. She–she insisted that it was an accident. Why would she change her story now?

Jack: Why are you talking about murder?

Gwen: Well–

Jack: Answer me. What did you mean, what you just said, “so does murder”?

Gwen: Just–I was just saying that like abigail pointed out, I planned to switch those syringes. It was premeditated. And for all I knew, that– a second dose of that drug could have very well killed sarah.

Jack: Thank god it didn’T.

Gwen: Even as it is, though, I did– I did take sarah’s life. The sarah that xander knew and fell in love with no longer exists. Go on. Say it.

Jack: You knew what that drug did to abigail, not to mention what it did to sarah when kristen gave it to her the first time.

Gwen: Yet I did it with full knowledge and malice aforethought. Now you wish I never existed.

Jack: No, I don’T.

Gwen: Yes, of course you do. How could you not? Xander does. Before, you said that I didn’t know that xander loved sarah more than he loved me, but he did. Yes, he told me he loved me. But then once sarah was in the picture, we both understood the unspoken.

Jack: [Sighs]

Gwen: Xander’s the only man that I’ve ever loved, but I’m not– I’m not the only woman that he ever loved. I’m not even the woman that he loved best. Do you know how that feels?

Jack: I do.

Gwen: Xander left me hanging for weeks, waiting to see if sarah would recover, and… this is no excuse, but I think, during those weeks… something inside me hardened. I just kept telling myself over and over and– and over again, “I cannot lose xander. I cannot.” But now it’s all my fault that he’s gone and I’ve lost him. And I don’t even know how I can live with myself.

[Door clicks open]

[Dramatic music]

Need long-lasting freshness?

Gwen: Xander, you’re here.

Xander: Yeah. Trust me, this isn’t a romantic rendezvous.

Gwen: How could it be? Go on, then. Let me have it, both barrels.

Xander: Not here to let you have it or to hear any excuses. I just– I have a question. What did you do with the real antidote?

Gwen: Right. You want me to help you get sarah back.

Xander: I wanted to give you a chance to act like a human being.

Gwen: Why start now?

Jack: Don’t do this. What nobody–especially xander doesn’t need right now is a tired, pathetic tough-guy act.

Xander: It’s all right, jack. I don’t care how she acts. I just– I just want an answer. Do you know where it is? Did you pour it down the sink, throw it away?

Gwen: No. I still have it.

Xander: Great. So… what’s it gonna take to get you to tell me where it is?

Abigail: I’ve been wondering the same thing. I mean… you know, gwen kept denying that she killed grandma even when I was threatening to drug her out of her ever-loving mind if she didn’t admit it.

Jennifer: Right, but she never wavered.

Abigail: No, she didn’T. So either she was lying back then, or she’s lying now. And I don’t know. Maybe I shouldn’t have told you what she said at the wedding, because the fact of the matter is, I’m still not sure if it’s true.

Nancy: I have to admit that a couple weeks ago, the idea of you getting dumped at the altar, well, it would’ve made me the happiest woman in the world. I would’ve said you got what you deserved.

Craig: Yeah, I suppose I did.

Nancy: No, no, craig, you’re a good man who just made mistakes. You’ve gone through a lot to get where you are today, and… sweetheart, you deserve to be happy.

Craig: So do you, nancy.

[Chuckles] You know, last night is really quite a blur to me, but I–

[Laughs] I think I remember you saying something about having met someone and going out on a date.

Nancy: Oh, yeah. We were supposed to go out for dinner last night, but he blew me off.

Craig: I’m sorry.

Nancy: [Sighs] Ain’t we a pair?

Craig: [Laughs]

Nancy: [Sighs]

Chad: Don’t be so melodramatic.

Leo: Melodramatic? I am your worst nightmare. You will rue the day you screwed matthew cooper, aka leo stark.

Chad: [Laughs] This is me struggling to keep a straight face.

Leo: I will leave you with a parting shot.

Aprs moi…

le déluge.

Sonny: The hell was that? We women are in the know about everything.

Jennifer: I understand her saying it was an accident, lying about that because she was trying to protect herself. But I don’t understand why she would lie about saying it was deliberate. It doesn’t make any sense.

Abigail: I don’t know. I don’t know, but it was the way that she said it, the words that she chose. So I don’t know, maybe after what I did to her at the wedding, she was just trying to torment me all over again or something.

Jennifer: Well, there’s only one way to find out.

Jack: Gwen, you just spent the last half hour telling me how much you love xander. Now look at him. He’s miserable. He’s suffering. For god’s sake, just tell him where the antidote is.

Gwen: You know, I was just thinking–

Jack: There’s nothing to think about. You have the chance to maybe, maybe undo the harm that you have done. For god’s sake, just tell him.

Gwen: I was just thinking that’s interesting, how you put that. It’s really interesting, ’cause you said, “what’s it gonna take to get you to tell me where it is?” It’s like it didn’t even occur to you to just ask me for it, because telling you would’ve been the right thing to do, yeah? But you know me well enough by now… to know that I don’t do anything unless there’s something in it for me. You don’t think there’s one good bone in my body, do you? You know, you’re right. There isn’T. So what’s it gonna take? Well, I know what I want. I want you back. Deal?

Xander: No.

Gwen: God, you hate me.

Xander: Yeah, that’s right.

Gwen: [Sighs] You hate me so much, you can’t even– you can’t even bloody lie to protect your precious sarah.

Jack: No, no, no. Don’t–gwen, please, don’t put the spike back in your arm.

Gwen: Well, sorry to put you through that, darling. Just needed to know where we stand.

Jack: God, no. No.

Gwen: You know, I will say, though, through all the lies… I did stay true to one thing. I did, I still, and I will always love you.

[Dramatic music]

[Sighs]

[Sighs] I will do whatever I can to help you.

Sonny: [Laughs mockingly]

“Aprs moi, le déluge.” He doesn’t even speak french, you know? He just likes sounding like edith piaf.

Chad: Wasn’t piaf. It was louis xv. “After me, the deluge.”

Sonny: Oh, come on, look, he probably just spent all morning googling threats in french and then he found that. He’s been practicing it all morning, I’m sure. Oh.

Chad: What?

Sonny: Well, as far as threats go, it’s actually a pretty good one. A nihilistic expression of indifference forecasting ruination.

Chad: Oh, that’s great. That’s just what I need.

Sonny: What? You’re not worried, are you? Come on, he’s not the king of france. He’s leo.

Chad: Yeah, exactly. He’s leo, self-aggrandizing, petty, vindictive little drama queen.

Sonny: Okay, that’s actually a pretty good point.

Chad: And now that vindictive little drama queen is laser focused on me. I thought the whole point of bringing him down was to– was to get him out of our lives so we didn’t have to worry about him anymore.

Sonny: Okay, maybe I didn’t think this whole thing through.

Chad: God only knows what he’s gonna do next.

[Tablet beeps]

Sonny: I’m sorry, do you have this thing set to news alerts for news about you?

Chad: Yeah, it’s a work thing.

Sonny: But you’re not working. Okay, well, there is news, and it is about you.

Craig: [Sighs]

Nancy: So what are you gonna do next?

Craig: Oh, nancy, I have absolutely no idea.

Nancy: Been there, done that. Craig, let me ask you… are you absolutely sure that it’s over between you and leo?

Craig: Am I sure? Nancy, the guy– the guy was gonna swindle me out of everything I own. He wanted to marry me. He was already married to someone else.

Nancy: Yes, but, craig, he is the guy who, after 30-plus years, brought you out of the closet. Honey, that was life-changing for you.

Craig: Are you– are you sticking up for him?

Nancy: No. I’m thinking about you. Craig… he really got to you.

Craig: That is an understatement.

[Laughs]

Nancy: But, craig, what if he’s telling the truth that he fell in love with you for real?

Craig: [Laughs] I cannot even believe you are saying this.

Nancy: Craig… I, more than anyone else, knows what it’s like being with you, you know, getting to know you, learning what kind of man you are. Sweetheart, that leads to love.

Craig: [Sighs]

Nancy: Who knows, craig? Maybe you got to him too.

[Knock at door]

Craig: That’s probably chloe. She’s been calling and texting all morning.

[Sighs] Leo. Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Chad: What news?

Sonny: Brace yourself.

[Dramatic music]

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo

doo-doo

Leo: Can we– oh, I didn’t realize you had company. Hello, nancy.

Nancy: Leo.

Leo: Can we have a moment alone?

Nancy: We were just in the middle of a conversation.

Leo: Please?

Nancy: Craig?

Craig: Thanks for coming over, talking. Means the world to me. But… I think I have to take care of this.

Nancy: [Sighs] Well… if you need backup, call me.

Craig: What the hell do you want?

Maggie: Did you see gwen?

Xander: Yeah, she– she had this stashed in our hotel room the entire time.

Maggie: [Gasps] She told you? Oh, thank god.

Xander: Yeah. Maybe we can save sarah yet.

Gwen: I suppose xander found the antidote by now.

Jack: You did the right thing.

Gwen: I know. Do you think it will work? Do you think sarah will be sarah again?

Jack: I don’t know. We’ll have to wait and see.

Gwen: I hope it does work. Truly, I really do. Again, I don’t expect you to believe me when I say this, but I am sorry for what I did to sarah.

Jennifer: So you’re sorry for what you did to sarah? Are you sorry for what you did to my mother? Are you sorry that you murdered her?

Quinn: Aw, I’m sure steffy

Eric: Apparently steffy had a really wonderful homecoming last night. The babies were very happy to have their mama home.

Quinn: Aw, I’m sure steffy felt the same way.

Eric: Yeah.

Quinn: Although, it must have been bittersweet, given what happened to finn, knowing that their family isn’t going to be whole again, not the way it used to be.

Eric: It’s just such a senseless tragedy, some random back alley robbery gone wrong. I just– I just hope they find that scumbag that did it.

Quinn: Steffy still can’t remember who shot her and finn?

Eric: No, but it’s just a matter of time.

Quinn: Ugh.

[ Phone chiming ] Unless the memory is so traumatic that she never regains it, you know? And in which case– eric? Hey. Hi. Thought I lost you. Where’d you go?

Carter: Eric, I have these contracts– I can come back.

Hope: Liam, it’s me again. Uh, officially starting to get worried now. So, can you please get back to me? Thanks. Bye. Hi.

Brooke: Hope? What is it? What’s going on, honey?

Hope: I don’t know a where he is. Liam never came home last night. He didn’t come home.

Liam: [ Exhaling ] Oh! Oh no, no… hope.

[ Liam sighing ]

Steffy: She has always been a daddy’s girl.

Liam: Yeah.

Steffy: When did she come out?

Liam: Right after you went to bed.

Steffy: Thank you for staying the night. It meant a lot to the kids. Their mom, too.

Eric: Carter, it’s all right, come on in. Come on in. We’re just talking about steffy.

Carter: Yes. She was released from the hospital last night.

Quinn: Yeah, she’s doing much better.

Eric: Thank god. A long road ahead, though.

Carter: Yeah, dealing with the loss of finn.

Quinn: Yeah, it won’t be easy. I mean, what they shared was intense and passionate.

Eric: It’ll definitely take time. It will. But she has her children. She has her family.

Carter: And a loving grandfather who will be there for her whenever she needs.

Eric: That’s right. And apparently liam, he’s stepped up too, I’m told.

Carter: It’s no surprise there. It’s no secret how much liam still loves and cares for steffy.

Eric: Yeah.

Brooke: Wait a minute. You’re telling me you haven’t seen or heard from liam since he went to steffy’s last night?

Hope: Yeah. Yeah, I obviously waited up for him, fell asleep on the couch, woke up this morning, and he still was not here.

Thomas: Hey. Uh, just thought I’d stop by and see if douglas is back from his sleepover yet.

Hope: He is not.

Thomas: Ah. Well, obviously my timing sucks. So, heh, I’ll just go.

Hope: Hey, uh, just fyi in case you were wondering, um. Liam never made it back last night, so.

Thomas: Wait. Seriously? Liam stayed the night at steffy’s?

Liam: I gotta charge my phone. I fell asleep last night before I could text hope. But she’s so peaceful, I don’t want to wake her up.

Steffy: Hayes is too, I just checked on him. He’s still in dream land.

Liam: Yeah?

Steffy: Yeah.

Liam: How about you? How did you– you okay? D’you sleep okay?

Steffy: I mean, I’m just glad to be out of the hospital, not attached to all the tubes and machines.

Liam: Yeah. I don’t blame you. Just ’cause you’re out of the hospital doesn’t mean you should not be taking it easy.

Steffy: I know.

Liam: All right.

Steffy: Bridget already laid down the law. I’ll be good.

Liam: Good. Hey.

Kelly: Daddy, you’re still here.

Liam: Yeah, I am. Of course I’m here. I’m always gonna be here for you, and your mommy.

[ Chuckling ] I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Carter: Do kelly and hayes know about finn yet?

Eric: As of last night, no, not yet. But, uh, steffy’s not going to be able to put it off for much longer.

Eric: Well, hayes is still so young, I doubt he’d understand. But kelly might.

Eric: Well, luckily, her father is around there. I mean, liam– liam will be a great help in all this.

Carter: To steffy too, I imagine.

Eric: Yeah.

[ Phone chiming ] All right, I have to go.

Quinn: Oh. A– a meeting?

Eric: No, uh, pickleball.

Quinn: Oh. Oh, well, I’m so happy you’re staying so active, honey.

Carter: Eric, I thought we were gonna go over these contracts.

Eric: Oh, we’ll do that later.

Quinn: Oh, but maybe after your game, we could grab some lunch?

Eric: Yeah, we’ll see.

Quinn: Oh… ‘kay.

[ Eric closing door ]

Carter: I don’t mean to pry, but is everything all right between you and eric?

Thomas: You know what, I– I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that liam stayed the night at steffy’S.

Brooke: Yeah, he’s probably just trying to be nice. Didn’t want steffy to feel alone, even though she’s not alone. I mean, she does have her mother and father there.

Thomas: I– don’t disagree, but… you know what? Not going to get in the middle of this. You will talk to your husband when he gets home.

Brooke: Look, why don’t you just give him another call?

Hope: Oh, and get his voicemail again?

Thomas: She has a point.

Brooke:: Oh, thomas, please. You’re not helping.

Thomas: Fine. I won’t say anything else. Except that–

Brooke: Oh…

Thomas: We all know how liam feels about steffy, okay? Like, yes, of course, he– he’s married to hope. And of course he– he has a family with her. And he loves her. But he also loves steffy. Look, this is just liam. This is– this is how it is. It’s who liam is, when it comes to steffy.

[ Brooke chuckling ]

Brooke: What are you, a broken record?

Thomas: It’s the truth.

Liam: All right. Plug this in. That should turn on in a minute. Chooga, chooga, chooga, chooga…

Steffy: Oh, look at that piggyback ride.

Liam: Yeah.

Kelly: You’re next, mommy.

Steffy: I am.

[ Laughing ]

Liam: I think mommy’s going to give you the best piggyback ride– actually no, you… actually, mommy’s not going to be doing any piggyback rides ’cause uh, we have to go easy on her. She just got home from the hospital, huh?

Kelly: Okay, I’ll save my biggest, bestest hug until you’re all better.

[ Liam laughing ]

Liam: That a girl.

Kelly: It was fun having daddy stay. Right, mommy?

Steffy: Yes, sweetie. It is.

Kelly: I was sad that mommy was gone.

Liam: Yeah, I was, too. I was really sad. But you know what? Mommy’s home now. She’s home and–

Steffy: And you don’t have to worry. I’m not going to leave you or your little brother ever again.

Kelly: Promise?

Steffy: Pinky swear.

[ Kelly yawning ]

Liam: Oh.

Steffy: I think someone’s still tired.

Liam: I think so, too.

Steffy: Why doesn’t daddy bring you into your own bed? You can drift off for a little bit, okay?

Kelly: Will you still be here when I wake up? I don’t want you to go. You said that you would shave your eyebrow off

Quinn: I’m not really sure how to answer that.

Carter: So, you’re not sure if things are right between you and eric?

Quinn, uh, I’m– I’m sure that I love my husband, and he’s given me the best years of my life. But… like I confided to you earlier, things haven’t been the same between us since…

Carter: Since you and i became involved.

Quinn: Yes, which I take full responsibility for. I never should have been unfaithful to my husband, no matter what was going on between us at the time.

Carter: When you needed someone to confide in, someone who’d listen and understand.

Quinn: I know. And you did. You listened to me, and you didn’t judge me. But I let it go a little too far.

[ Quinn sighing ]

Carter: We both did, and we paid the price.

Quinn: Yeah, but eric’s been able to forgive you. You know? Everything’s fine between you. He’s been able to move past all of that for you. I just– it gives me hope that maybe he’ll be able to move past it for me too, and that at some point, our marriage will get back into sync.

Carter: You know how much I want that for you, right?

Quinn: I do. I know all you want for me is my happiness, carter. And I want the same thing for you.

Brooke: Thomas, please. Hope doesn’t need you trying to undermine her marriage.

Thomas: That is not what I’m doing. I’m just pointing out that liam can’t seem to not–

Brooke: We are all aware that liam and steffy have a history. A history that you tried to take advantage of just to get close to my daughter.

Hope: Okay, mom. Stop. Please, both of you. All right? I realize, better than anyone, that steffy and liam will always have a bond. And I have advocated more than anyone that our families should get along and try to be supportive of one another, especially now. However, there is a way to go about doing this that is respectful to both of the families. Liam’s with me, and his with steffy.

Thomas: I completely agree. But shouldn’t you be saying this to liam instead of to brooke and me?

[ Door opening ]

[ Liam chuckling ]

Liam: She– she felt right back to sleep.

Steffy: Not surprised. Did she ask about finn at all?

Liam: Um, no, but… yeah, she– she can tell he’s missing, yeah.

Steffy: Well, she’s used to him spending long hours at the hospital. But I’m sure she’s realized something.

Liam: Yeah. But listen, just– don’t worry about that now because we’re going to– we’re going to do it when you’re ready. And we’ll tell her together. And we’ll break it to her really gently. And we’ll just– we’ll find the right way to do it. It’s all we can do.

[ Phone ringing ] That would be hope. Hey.

Hope: Thank goodness. I– I’ve been worried about you.

Liam: I– I bet you have. I am so sorry. Kelly was scared last night. She wanted her daddy. And then I fell asleep with her on the couch. And then my phone died, and I–

Hope: No, I– I get it. It’s just I fell asleep waiting for you. And then I woke up and you weren’t here and it– you know what, never mind. Um… how’s steffy? Is she settled in?

Liam: Yeah, I think so.

Hope: Great. Well, I’m sure you’ve been a big help. But you know, she also has her parents there. So, it’d be nice if you could come home.

Liam: Oh, y–yes, definitely. Um, I just, uh… yeah. I’m on my way soon.

Okay, bye.

Steffy: You’re not in trouble, are you?

Liam: No. No, hope… she understands. Trust me.

Steffy: Does she? Really?

Carter: I’m glad that we can still talk like this.

Quinn: Me too. I really value our friendship. More than you know. I like having carter walton, coo, in my corner.

[ Carter chuckling ]

Carter: Always. But you should know that eric’s your greatest champion. And it’s clear how much you love him. You have a wonderful husband.

Quinn: I know.

Carter: And the rest will work itself out.

Quinn: Yeah. You’re right. I just have to remember how lucky I am to have such an honest and wonderful man who’s completely committed to me.

Donna: My sweet, adorable, honey bear.

Hope: Liam is on his way home now. He, um, stayed the night because kelly was scared and she needed him. He was there for his little girl, the way a good father should be.

Liam: Ah, you don’t worry about hope and me, okay? Like, she– she’s very well aware of the horror you’re going through right now.

Steffy: I know, but I don’t want her to think–

Liam: I– I know what you’re– look, regardless of the history between you and hope, she is 100% supportive of my relationship with kelly. And she knows that I was here last night for kelly, too. And besides, I’m the one who messed up by falling asleep on the couch and not texting her, so–

Steffy: I’m sorry. I am.

Liam: Why?

Steffy: Because… I’m trying to be strong, you know, for my children and my family. But to know that finn’s not coming home… that hayes is never going to see his daddy again, like…

[ Crying ] I miss him so much. And he’s gone. He’s gone forever. But I have to keep moving forward. I have to– oh god, I have to, I have to for hayes, and for kelly.

Liam: Okay, but… not at the expense of taking care of yourself. You have to heal yourself first, and that’s not going to happen overnight. You have to give yourself time, right? To breathe, to– to process the grief, to process, to mourn finn.

Steffy: I just felt–

Liam: And you have so many people– listen to me, you have so many people in your life who love and care about you. Your mom and dad, they would do anything for you. I would do anything for you. I mean, I’ll be here, too. The whole time.

Steffy: Thank you. I just felt alone last night. And it meant a lot that you stayed, not just for kelly, but for me, too. And I’m really, really grateful for you.

Liam: You–

Steffy: I am. I really, really am.

Liam: You don’t have to thank me for anything, ever. It’s not how this works. And me and kelly, we’re a family. And we’re always going to be a family, okay?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Diane: [ Sighs ] Kyle… I-I…

[ Sighing ] Thank you… for agreeing to meet with me, for, us — for giving me this chance to explain myself.

[ Sighs ]

Kyle: You’ve got a hell of a lot of explaining to do. Come in.

Diane: Okay.

[ Sighs ]

Kyle: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Okay, how are you doing?

Jack: Kyle and diane are meeting at the house right now, and I can’t stop wondering how it’s going.

Phyllis: That makes two of us.

Jack: I was hoping kyle might text and tell me he changed his mind, he doesn’t want to see her.

[ Places cellphone on table loudly ]

Phyllis: Yeah, this is big. A lot of potential for, you know, discomfort.

Jack: What’s that a euphemism for? Uh, go ahead, finish your thought.

Phyllis: You want to protect your son. I understand.

Jack: No, it’s more than that. I helped facilitate this meeting. Now I’m second-guessing myself.

[ Sighs ] I wonder if I made a big mistake, and if I did, kyle’s gonna be the one who pays the price.

[ Sighs ]

[ Doorknob rattles]

[ Door closes ]

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Abby: Rough day?

Chance: [ Sighs ] Yeah, I just talked to sharon. I had to explain to my partner’s wife exactly how and why her husband died.

Abby: The autopsy report came in?

Chance: Yeah. Rey suffered a massive coronary while he was driving.

Abby: Uh… rey had a heart attack?

Chance: That’s why he lost control of the car and swerved into the other lane.

Abby: [ Sighs ] I had assumed the accident happened because of the fog or — or some obstacle in the road.

Chance: Yeah, I did, too. I talked to ashland, got some more details, and something just didn’t add up. Now I know why.

Abby: Chance, that’s just — it’s so awful.

Chance: There’s just nothing anyone could have done. Rey’s fate was sealed that night when he said goodbye to sharon. He had no idea he’d never see her again.

[ Sighs ] Just like that, he was gone.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Diane: It’s been so long since I’ve stepped foot inside this house. So many memories.

[ Sighs ]

Kyle: I’ve got a million questions. But now that you’re here, I — I don’t know where to begin.

Diane: I wish I could make this easier for you, but nothing about this is easy. I’m — I’m — I’m sure you’re confused and certainly angry.

Kyle: For starters. Beyond that, I — I don’t know how to feel.

Diane: Well, for the record, kyle, I’m not expecting anything from you, except maybe an open mind. And since you were willing to meet with me, I — I hope you’ve decided to give me that much.

Chance: Thanks.

Abby: Poor sharon. And lola and all of rey’s family in miami. I feel so bad for them.

Chance: Yeah, me too.

Abby: [ Sighs ] I know that this has taken a toll on you, as well.

Chance: Rey helped me a hundred different times in a hundred different ways. You know, with work, family. When I was in a crisis, he was there. I mean, the guy is just not a — a colleague, he’s my best friend. And I miss him very much.

Abby: [ Inhales deeply ] You know, as cruel and senseless as life can be, it can also be beautiful. Don’t let the sadness and grief of this tragedy overwhelm you, like spain.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Chance: Are you expecting someone?

Abby: No, no, but whoever it is, they can wait. This is more important.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Chance: Let’s just — let’s see who it is.

Abby: Just tell them we’re busy, please.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ]

Chance: Victor.

Victor: Hello, chance. May I come in?

Chance: Of course.

Victor: Thank you. Hi, sweetheart.

Abby: Daddy? Hi!

Victor: My goodness.

Abby: What are you doing here?

Victor: I don’t like to drop by unannounced, but is it okay?

Chance: Yeah, I’m actually glad you came by. There’s something you need to know.

Jack: We both know how manipulative diane can be, how she can talk her way out of a sunburn. Kyle’s already been sideswiped by all of this. Even if he resents everything she’s done, she’s till his mother, who is determined to reconnect with him, no matter what the cost. How to her?

Phyllis: Slow down. You did the right thing.

Jack: You sound awfully surePhyllis: I am sure. Kyle’s an adult. He can make his own decisions regarding diane. You know? You could only interject yourself into his life so much.

Jack: Yeah, you’re right. Thanks for the support. Thanks for giving me perspective again. And again and again.

Phyllis: Well, I am very mature. I have my feet firmly planted in the ground. You know?

Jack: I know you’re joking, but that certainly is true lately.

Phyllis: Aww. Hey, you know, kidding aside, let’s talk about something we haven’t looked at, at all. Um…you know, just in case it comes up, we should cover our bases.

[ Sighs ]

Diane: I’ve anticipated this day for so long, whereas you must be in shock.

Kyle: Don’t make assumptions about my state of mind when i barely know what it is myself.

Diane: Well, for me,

[Voice breaking] This is a dream come true…to — to be here with you and to, um, see your face.

Kyle: It’s been so long. Do you even recognize me?

Diane: [ Sighing ] Oh. I would know you anywhere.

[ Sniffles ]

Kyle: Me too. You look just like I remember.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Well, that’s really kind of you to say after all these years.

Kyle: I’m not trying to flatter you. It’s the truth.

Diane: Well, I — I have to admit, I-I have seen some photos of you before. I — I followed your life through business press and social media.

Kyle: Lucky you. I certainly didn’t get that opportunity.

Diane: Well, that’s how i know what an amazing man you’re turned out to be. You’re a husband and a father, a — a leader at jabot, working alongside your dad. I am so proud and so impressed.

Kyle: Now, d-don’t make this about me. I agreed to this because I want to hear about you.

Diane: Alright. Uh, [Sniffles]… Ask me anything. I’m — I’m an open book.

Kyle: [ Inhales deeply ] I want to know why you faked your death when I was a kid, why you let me believe you’d been killed and never once reached out. What possible excuse could you have that could justify what you did? With golo, I’ve lost 13 inches in my waist.

Victor: He had a heart attack?

Chance: Afraid so.

Victor: Well, the prime of his life.

Abby: It’s just so awful.

Victor: It’s terrible. How is sharon handling it?

Chance: Well, the news hit her pretty hard, but at least she now has a definitive explanation for what happened.

Victor: Whoa. Has victoria been informed?

Chance: Tried reaching her. Couldn’t get through just yet. I know she’s felt pretty guilty about the whole accident. Just didn’t feel like this was the kind of message you want to leave on a voicemail.

Victor: Maybe I will inform her myself. What do you think?

Chance: Think it’s a good idea.

Victor: Alright.

Abby: Well, dad, you can’t just rush off. Why did you stop by here in the first place?

Victor: Sweetheart, I haven’t seen my grandson for a long time.

Abby: Okay, but just now really isn’t the best time.

Chance: He’s taking a nap.

Victor: Oh, well, then I’ll wait until he wakes up. Meanwhile, you and I can have a chat.

Abby: That’s a great idea. Um, let me go check in on him maybe.

Victor: Alright, sweetheart.

Abby: Be right back.

Chance: So, victor, what’s on your mind?

[ Footsteps ascending stairs ]

Kyle: Hearing you followed my life from a distance [Chuckles] That makes this so much worse. It’s like you cared enough to keep track but never enough to reach out to your own child.

Diane: I-I-I can see why you think that. But, kyle, I missed you every day, and I never stopped loving you.

Kyle: All evidence to the contrary.

Diane: Please, I’m trying to explain.

Kyle: You remember the last time we saw each other? I do. You — you were sending me off to switzerland to boarding school. You told me I had to pretend to be someone else, to go by a different name.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Kyle: And I went along with it because I was young and i trusted you with my whole being. You told me it wouldn’t be long until you joined me in europe, but that day never came. Dad’s the one who came for me, to break the news that you’d been killed and I was going home to live with him. So, tell me,

[Inhales deeply] When exactly did you decide I wasn’t worth coming for?

Diane: I always wanted to come for you.

Kyle: Yeah, okay, right, okay.

Diane: Kyle, look at me.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ]

Diane: I sent you away because I was in way over my head. I-I had pushed so many people in this town past their limit, and I was scared that they would retaliate by taking you away from me in the courts. Yes. The newmans and the abbotts — they — they don’t agree on much, but they are very powerful people and they all hated me. And they weren’t the only ones. I was desperate to escape. And then [Sighs] With deacon sharpe’s help, I — i found a way to, uh — to disappear.

Kyle: And by “disappear,” you mean “faked your own death.”

Diane: I had every intention of reuniting with you once I was safely away from genoa city. But then I realized that i couldn’T.

Kyle: [ Sighs ]

Diane: [ Sighs ] My life as I knew it was over. And — and if I had come back for you or — or taken you with me, then I would have ruined your life, too. And I — I just couldn’t do that to you.

[ Sighs ]

Jack: Should I be worried?

Phyllis: Don’t be worried. I was just thinking, I mean, after all this grilling that kyle is doing of diane, what if he concludes that she’s sincere and he wants a relationship with her? What will you do?

Jack: I guess I’d tell my son to spend a little more time thinking about it, weigh the pros and cons of opening his life to someone with diane’s history. But if that didn’t change his mind, I’d have to honor his wishes and tell him to proceed with great caution.

Phyllis: Summer will back you on that. That’s for sure.

Jack: Because summer would be as wary of diane as you are.

Phyllis: Oh, please. If my daughter sees that diane’s intentions are less than pure, she will have a long talk with kyle. Not only that, she will find diane and get in her face and tell her to back off.

Jack: Well, let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. I just…

Phyllis: You just what?

Jack: If we’re looking at all the angles, there’s another one we have to think about?

Phyllis: What’s that?

Jack: What if it’s true?

Phyllis: What if what’s true?

Jack: What if, by some miracle, diane has managed to change herself? I mean, she seems sincere. What if it’s true? What if… maybe we should be giving her some benefit of the doubt? Facing expensive vitamin c creams with dull results?

Victor: Losing someone who was on the force with you must be quite a blow. I just wanted to see for myself how you were doing.

Chance: I, uh — I’m having a hard time believing that he’s actually gone. And all this has definitely stirred up the same kind of emotions that I had when my team was killed in that explosion. So, to answer your question, I’m managing. Abby can see how much this has weighed on me, and I know that worries her a lot.

Victor: And [Sighs] Rey was a good man. You know? Very sorry for your loss.

Chance: Thank you.

Victor: But, chance, let this be a reminder to embrace life. You know, you wake up in the mornings, look around you with a beautiful wife and beautiful son and spend a lot of time with them. Okay? Never know when it comes to an end.

Chance: Words to live by.

Victor: Not only so that you can heal, but more importantly, that you can be strong. You never know when your wife will need you, to lean on you.

Kyle: You might have told yourself you were looking out for me, that it would be best for me, growing up, considering I had a mother who was so damaged. But what I’m hearing is that you chose to abandon me.

Diane: You don’t know how much I wish I could have stayed with you. Leaving you was like leaving a piece of my soul behind.

Kyle: Words, mom!

Diane: No, kyle. You’re my only child. My pride and joy. Nothing has ever mattered to me as much as you.

[ Sighs ] But, back then, after — after all the terrible mistakes I had made, what did I have to offer you? A life on the run? Because that’s what it would have been.

[ Sighs ] Maybe some of the people in town would have accepted that I was gone, would have said “good riddance,” and — and moved on. But not jack. He would have never stopped looking for us. For you. I would have turned you into a fugitive right alongside me. And — and all the while, I was just falling apart at the seams.

Kyle: In other words, you didn’t want me dragging you down.

Diane: [ Sighs ] How could I put you through that? You — you were so much better off without me. I was toxic back then and for a long, long time afterwards. You deserved to be with jack, the parent who could give you the stability and the security that I couldn’T. A-a-and I-I-I think I made the right call, because without your father’s help, you — you wouldn’t have turned into the terrific man you are today.

Kyle: You may be right that having you as my one and only parent, in such a messed-up state, would have been a disaster for me.

Diane: Trust me… it would have been, and I — i don’t say that lightly.

Kyle: But at the time, all i knew was that I had lost my mom, who I adored. It was the worst, worst pain I’d ever experienced. An emptiness deep down inside that I wasn’t sure would ever heal.

[ Scoffs ] I couldn’t ever imagine letting my own son suffer like that.

Diane: [ Sighs ] I am [Sighs] — I am so sorry for how my actions wounded you.

[ Sobs ] But you would have paid a different, a far more terrible price if I would have continued to raise you on the run, away from so many people who loved you.

Kyle: My father did his best to fill the gaping hole that you left. Whenever I asked about you and the things you done, you should know, he did his best to answer in the most positive way possible. He never once teared you down in my eyes or tarnished the happy memories you and I shared.

Diane: [ Sighs ] I’m — I’m beyond grateful for that. Uh, I owe your father a-a-a huge debt for everything. Especially since it was more than I deserved. Because, back then, I was cruel and vindictive. I was greedy, I was dangerously ambitious, and [Sighs] God help the person who tried to stop me from getting what I wanted.

Kyle: I’m surprised you can admit that so freely.

Diane: I’m not going to hide anything from you, kyle. Never again. I can’T. Not if I have any hope of making you understand that I am not that person anymorE.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] So, you just admitted to a long list of terrible traits. Confessed to what a failure you were as a mother. But you’re telling me, you still managed to change. How am I supposed to believe that? No matter who you are,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Chance: Thank you the wisdom, victor, as always. I mean, that is exactly what i needed.

Victor: Good. By the way, I wanted you to know how proud I am of how you and devon and abby have come together for dominic.

Chance: Yeah, things are working out well.

Victor: You know, I can hardly wait until the boy is old enough for me to tell him some stories, you know.

Chance: Well, tell him some sports stories, alright?

Victor: Oh, well, then I will tell him some stories about some great boxing matches.

Chance: There you go. I’m sure he’s gonna love that.

Victor: Well?

Abby: Well… his royal highness is awake and ready to see his grandpa.

Victor: Really? Well, then I will not keep his royal highness waiting.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: Okay.

[ Footsteps ascending stairs ]

Abby: Well, looks like someone’s in better spirits. Is that an actual smile?

Chance: It might be, it might.

Abby: What did you two talk about while I was upstairs?

Chance: I know you were mad we got interrupted, but I think you’ll be happy your father stopped by.

Phyllis: Did you just say that we should give diane jenkins the benefit of the doubt?

Jack: It’s a question.

Phyllis: Then here’s an answer for you — no. Hell no. Where’s this coming from? You were just saying two seconds ago that diane is manipulative.

Jack: So you get to play devil’s advocate, but I don’t?

Phyllis: [ Exhales sharply ]

Jack: I’m just saying, I have had someone else in my life i couldn’t completely trust — my mother, who deserted not one child, but three. Yet, despite her estrangement from the family, despite all the things she did for so many years, when she came back into our lives late in her life seeking forgiveness, we were somehow able to reconcile. And I had an emotional connection with her that had been missing my whole life, and I value that. And, yes, as absurd as it seems that the same could be true in diane’s case, I am praying that the possibility exists for my son. That’s the kind of thing that turns a person around — a love for a child.

Phyllis: Okay, we’re not talking about a person. We’re talking about diane jenkins.

Jack: We’re making assumptions about somebody that we knew years ago. She may be different now.

Phyllis: Present day diane sent you a bunch of cryptic texts from la.

Jack: Yes, and united me with my granddaughter.

Phyllis: She could’ve done it 100 different ways, but she chose to be creepy and cryptic and duplicitous.

Jack: Okay, her methods, i will agree, are questionable, but the end result was positive.

Phyllis: That’s what she wanted. She wanted you to think, “oh, wow, wow, she reunited me with my granddaughter,” so in turn, you would reunite her with kyle. See, that was her plan. That is her plan! And look — look, we’re here again. It worked. It worked!

Jack: I am not grateful to diane for anything, but I can’t completely discount the possibility that some of what she says about her personal development is true.

Phyllis: Okay. I understand what you’re doing. I get it. You’re upset that maybe kyle will give diane the benefit of the doubt and you’re thinking of maybe all the ways it can work out. I-I understand that you’re doing this because you ache inside. I really do get it, but

[Chuckles] I’m sorry. To believe that diane is less of a sociopath than she was before, it’s — it’s not even in the realm of my understanding. It really isn’T. I can’t suspend my disbelief that much.

Jack: There are some people in this town who might say the same thing about you.

Phyllis: No one would say the same thing about me because you know what? I didn’t fake my own death. And I didn’t make somebody else possibly go down for it, okay? Like she did with nikki.

[ Exhales sharply ] I mean, and she’s here making all these proclamations that she’s a new woman and she’s learned and — and she’s understanding? No! I haven’t seen one iota of change in that woman. She hasn’t gained any trust from me. I’m sorry.

Jack: Okay, you’re absolutely right.

Phyllis: Yeah?

Jack: Yeah.

Phyllis: Okay, then don’t let your guard down with her, please.

Jack: Red, I won’T.

Kyle: You’re trying to convince me you’re this new and improved version of yourself, but look how you made this meeting happen. You lured my dad to la using keemo’s death and a granddaughter he never knew he had. You manipulated allie and my dad. You were secretive and deceitful.

Diane: No. No, no. I brought them together as a gesture of goodwill, and in order to do that, I needed to remain anonymous. If I had contacted your father directly, he would have just shot me down right away.

Kyle: Dad said that, too, but still, the way you went about things doesn’t make me want to trust you, especially when you could’ve just contacted me.

Diane: No, kyle. I couldn’t shock you like that, unprepared. I couldn’t just inject myself back into your life without warning. No, it was far better for jack to reach out to you and to break the news to you, and then you could decide whether you wanted to see me or not after you had a chance to think about things. Isn’t that true?

Kyle: You’re probably right. It was probably for the best.

Diane: [ Sighs ] I’m sure you’re wondering why i came forward now instead of years ago. And the answer is simple. I just wasn’t ready back then. When I moved to california and changed my name and tried to start my life over, I — I was still in a tailspin. I mean, it took a long, long time for me to hit bottom and realize that I just — i couldn’t go on the way I had been. So I — you know, I went to therapy, and I started down a long, lonely road of trying to rebuild myself. Of trying to become somebody worthy of being your mother. Gosh, it was a lot of hard work and — and owning up to my mistakes and trying to understand how I — how I ever became such a vindictive and — and spiteful person, how I took that beautiful life that we had in toronto, and then I just destroyed it completely. I’m ashamed of who I was, but I accept it now. And I have done everything in my power to change and to grow and to evolve as a human being, and I have vowed that I will never be that woman who caused so much chaos, who — who hurt you so badly. Kyle, I — I wouldn’t have reached out to you if I thought that I could still be some negative force in your life. And whether you believe me or not, it’s the truth.

Kyle: What is it you’re hoping will come from all this? I mean, what do you want from me? Are you looking for forgiveness so you can just move on? Or do you want a place in my life? ‘Cause I’m not sure I’m capable of giving you that.

Diane: I understand.

Kyle: Do you? ‘Cause I spent a long time coming to grips with losing you, finding peace, figuring out who I was without you to guide me. Now I can say I’m the happiest that I have ever been. Feels like life is finally coming into place. And the family I have built with summer and harrison is the most important thing to me, and i can’t — I won’t — risk bringing any turmoil into their world. I can’t sacrifice their happiness because I am messed up on account of you.

Diane: I get it. This is all — all new for you, and it is far too soon to even think about what the future might hold for us. But, kyle, to answer your question, yes, I am hoping that at some point, you can at least contemplate forgiveness.

Abby: It sounds like my dad was concerned about you, as well.

Chance: You two just want to make sure I’m okay and remind me of everything I have to be grateful for.

Abby: You know, every once in a while, my dad and I are on the same wavelength.

Chance: And it just throws you every time, huh?

Abby: [ Chuckles ] Something like that, yeah.

Chance: You know, this really does help, having people who care about me in my corner like this.

Victor: That boy has grown so big, I hardly recognize him, for heaven’s sake.

Abby: Amazing, isn’t it?

Victor: Yes, it’s stunning how they change at this age.

Chance: You enjoy those boxing stories?

Victor: Well…

Abby: What, boxing stories?

Chance: Don’t worry about it, don’t worry about it.

Victor: He’s a little too young for that.

Abby: [ Laughs ]

Victor: Anyway, I got to get going.

Abby: Well, dad, let me walk you out.

Victor: No, you stay here right with your husband, okay?

Chance: Thank you again for checking in, victor.

Victor: You’re welcome. Okay, I’ll see myself out.

Abby: Bye, dad, I love you.

Victor: Love seeing you. Bye.

Chance: Take care.

Victor: Alright, chance, be good, brother.

Chance: You too.

Kyle: Forgiveness. You’re asking for a lot.

Diane: I know. But I promised to be straightforward with you and to share what was in my heart. You’re overwhelmed. And now that you’ve been so gracious and have heard me out, I — I should probably go.

Kyle: Yeah, I have a lot to think about.

Diane: Well, could we meet again after you have?

Kyle: Maybe. Don’t think I can commit to anything right now.

Diane: Of course.

Phyllis: Yeah, I was.

Jack: I hear what you’re saying, I — I’m sorry, I thought diane would be gone by now. We will make ourselves scarce.

Diane: No worries. I was just leaving. Kyle…thank you for allowing me to see you and have this conversation with you. It means everything to me.

Chance: I just want you to know that you don’t have to be scared or worried or feel like you have to check in on me every five seconds. Yes, I am still processing rey’s death, but I’m not gonna fall apart this time. I’m not. I’m not gonna get lost in all this sorrow. Yes, I’m gonna grieve his loss and I will miss my friend dearly…but it won’t be like before, I promise.

Abby: Are you sure that’s a promise that you can keep?

Chance: Abby, I am so much stronger now, and I will be present. I will be the husband and the father that you need me to be. I know how lucky I am to have both of you, I do. And trust me, I am not about to waste a minute that we have together by shutting down. I won’t do it. I’m gonna embrace each and every day by showing both of you how much I love you.

Kyle: Hey, um…where’s harrison?

Jack: Your aunt traci wanted some quality time with her grand-nephew, and I think she’s still entertaining him.

Phyllis: Yeah, she called us. It seems like he’s having a ball with her.

Kyle: Great, I’m sure we’ll hear all about it when he gets back.

Jack: I’m sure you’re pretty wiped out from your visit with your mom, but…if you don’t want to talk about it, I will not press for any details.

Kyle: I appreciate that. I promise, as soon as I’m recovered, I’ll fill you in on everything.

Jack: Fair enough.

Kyle: Right now, I — I need to get out of here, get some air.

Jack: Hey. If you need me, I am here.

Kyle: I know you will be, dad.

Diane: [ Gasps ]

Victor: We meet again.
