Sheila: You are not calling the police.

Steffy: You shot your son. We need to get help!

Sheila: I didn’t mean to. I didn’t even know he was here.

Steffy: Oh, you’re sick. You’re sick. You’re going to prison for the rest of your life.

Sheila: Put it down now!

Taylor: Oh, I love this photo.

Ridge: Well, that is our daughter in her element, isn’t it?

Taylor: Yeah, you know, steffy has accomplished so much in her young life. She’s excelled at everything she’s tried. She’s such a force.

Ridge: Reminds me of you.

Taylor: Aww. I can’t take all the credit. You know, steffy has always been so strong, so fearless, so full of life.

Bill: Always like seeing you on dad duty, being with the kids, fixing their toys.

Liam: Yeah. Well, the toy fixing kind of comes with the territory– where does this go?

Bill: And you love it.

Liam: I– I love the being a dad part, although between you and me, I’m pretty sure these, uh, these toys are optimized for frustrating parents. You wanna give it a go, grandpa?

Bill: Oh, hell no. No, no.

Liam: Ah, you sure?

Bill: I just came by to keep you company while hope’s out with her friends.

Liam: Oh, well, perhaps you’re better suited to help douglas with his magnetism and electricity science project–

Bill: No, no! I don’t want to do that either. You see, I hire people to deal with these things, thereby eliminating the frustration you’re going through right now.

Liam: Ah, duh!

Bill: Although I do love anything to do with electricity. It’s power.

Liam: Oh! All right, that was– that was good.

Bill: Actually, I did love helping will with his homework. Something I never got to do with you. I didn’t even know you existed.

Liam: Yeah, but… that’s not on you. We both know my mother wanted it that way. Besides, I think you more than made it up to me, given everything you’ve done for me.

Bill: I appreciate that, son. And when I look at you, the father that you are, I mean, you’ve been a rock for douglas, and beth and kelly. Those warrior princesses absolutely adore you.

Liam: Yeah, well, a lot of that’s luck, you know? And kids couldn’t have asked for better moms than hope and steffy.

Bill: You are a very committed dad.

Liam: Yeah, well, trying.

Bill: No, well, you were doing more than trying. Those kids are your priority, as they should be.

Liam: Hey, I mean, family is everything. You, in fact– you drilled that into my head, as well as wyatt’s, as well as will’s as– how is will doing?

Bill: Oh, he’s– he’s great. I mean, he is really thriving at boarding school. I miss the hell out of him, even though katie and I, you know, video call him all the time.

Liam: Yeah, I’m sure. Well, he won’t be gone forever, you know?

Bill: No, and I still have you and wyatt to run roughshod over. You see, a father’s work is never done.

Liam: No, no. It’s never done. Neither is a grandfather’s, by the way. And you still owe beth a bedtime story.

Bill: Yeah, I know, I was really bummed when I got here and she was already sleeping. I had my latest fairy tale all picked out, beauty

and the business tycoon.

Liam: Hey, it’s a classic.

Bill: Yeah.

Liam: Which one are you?

Bill: I could play both parts.

Liam: Touché, touché. Well, maybe you test it out on kelly, next time you see her.

Bill: Hey, um, speaking of my other granddaughter, I continue to be impressed with– with you playing such a huge part in her life, even though you don’t live with her.

Liam: Thank steffy for that. I mean, she’s just been so supportive of my relationship with my daughter. I’m just– I’m really lucky to have both kelly and steffy in my life.

Taylor: Do you remember when the kids were young, and steffy wanted to learn to play baseball and she was hounding thomas to teach her?

Ridge: I do remember. I also remember that he wasn’t too keen on it because he thought his friends were gonna make fun of him.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Thomas: Yeah. What, uh– what big brother wants his tomboy little sister hanging around him all the time? Especially when she can pitch better than him and all of his friends?

Ridge: But you did stand up for her. Told your friends that if she didn’t get to try out, you wouldn’t play.

Thomas: Which is something I remind her of every time I need a favor from her. Not that she ever needed my help. Steffy can…

[ Sighing ] Stand up for herself against anyone or anything.

Sheila: I said drop it!

Steffy: You’re crazy. Finn needs an ambulance.

Sheila: Steffy, do not make that call.

[ Gunshot ] Hi, I’m karen.

Liam: On the house.

Bill: Thank you. So you ever wonder who kelly will be when she grows up?

Liam: I can’t tell what you’re asking. You mean if she’ll be more like steffy or me?

Bill: Well, I mean, you know, two of you are a real study in– in contrasts. You know, you have this gigantic, loving heart.

Liam: Yeah. Well, so does steffy.

Bill: Mm-hmm. Yes, she does, but, uh… but she can be tough as nails when she has to be.

Liam: Hey! Oh! Well, I can– I can be tough as nails– what, are you saying I can’t be tough as nails? I can be tough as nails.

Bill: No, no, I’m not saying that at all. Look, what I’m saying–

[ Liam laughing ] Is that, uh, kelly is lucky to have parents who bring both strength and sensitivity to her life. I mean, you guys– you guys care about each other and– and support each other, even though you’re not married to one another.

Liam: No, that’s true. I mean, steffy and I are really good at that, supporting each other and it’s– you know what, it’s because we just don’t ever want kelly to feel stuck in the middle.

Bill: Yeah, well, that’s very admirable, though I imagine it’s also easier said than done.

Liam: Uh, it is easier said than done. Uh… mostly just because it’s– it’s all the history– history between steffy and me, between hope and me, between hope and steffy. But, um, but at the end of the day, you know, all three of us, the– the bottom line is the kids and their well-being.

Bill: You’re a hell of a dad, liam.

Liam: Gah! Well, you know, beth and kelly really make it easy, douglas, too.

Bill: Yeah. Well, uh, see if you’re still singing that tune when they hit their teenage years.

[ Liam laughing ]

Liam: You know, beth and douglas, not too worried about, kelly– gonna be a handful.

Bill: Just like her mom.

Liam: And I love them both. I’m always gonna love steffy.

Ridge: Well, you’re absolutely right. Your sister never backs down.

Taylor: Yeah but then again, her namesake never did either.

Thomas: Yeah, well, there’s a lot of grandma in steff, that’s for sure.

Taylor: You know, our daughter wouldn’t be who she is without that fearlessness.

Ridge: Fearlessness, yes, fearlessness is great. Doesn’t stop life from smacking you around, if it chooses to. So I’m glad she has finn in her corner.

[ Sheila panting ]

Sheila: Steffy. Steffy, can you hear me?

[ Gloves tugging ]

[ Sobbing ]

[ Gasping ]

You never know

what opportunities

Bill: I– I’m fully cognizant of how much all of this means to you, hope, and your family with her, being a dad to beth, kelly and douglas.

Liam: Okay, why do I– i feel like there’s a “but” coming?

Bill: No “but,” it’s just that, um, well, I– I’m also aware of– of how much your life with steffy meant to you and– and how special it was, uh, because of how special steffy is. And oh, I think that maybe she brought some things out in you that– that hope can’T.

Liam: Okay, I’m not exactly sure where you’re going with this, but if it’s going to end in some criticism of hope–

Bill: No, no, no, no, no criticism of– of hope. Uh, I’ve nothing against hope. I have a lot of respect for her. She– she’s a wonderful woman who clearly makes you happy.

Liam: Yeah, she does.

Bill: But she’s not steffy, and your marriage to hope is not what your marriage to steffy was.

Liam: Just say it. What’s– what is your point?

Bill: I have no idea. I– in fact, I don’t even think there’s really a, you know, point. It’s just– it’s an observation.

Liam: Yeah, well– I mean, it– it’s a pretty trivial observation that hope and steffy are, in fact, two different people.

Bill: Exactly. Ah, so I guess there was a point, after all, and you just made it, because you’re so smart. Even though you’re married to hope, you’ve just admitted that you will always love steffy.

Liam: Yeah, dad, of course I admit that. Steffy and I share so much. We share a child, we share history. I mean, she’s– she’s changed my life in incredible, profound ways. And just because, you know, just because we’re not together anymore doesn’t mean that I can even imagine my world without steffy in it.

[ Ridge sighing ]

Ridge: Finn has brought so much joy to steffy’s life, right?

Taylor: Yes, I get to see it every single day. They are– they’re just there for each other. They support each other. They bring out the best in one another.

Ridge: Yeah, no, it’s true.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: And why are we dealing with sheila? Why– why does she have to be in the picture at all? She’s already caused so many problems for finn and steffy. I don’t want to cause any more.

[ Metal clinking ]

[ Sheila panting ]

[ Sobbing ]

[ Whimpering and groaning ]

[ Wailing ]

Deacon: Doing it right now, paul. Chill out.

[ Sighing] Living the life, aren’t you, deacon?

[ Metal creaking ]

[ Bottles rattling ] Oh, my god, finn! And steffy! Every year we try

Thomas: You know, I don’t think we should spend any more time talking about sheila.

Ridge: You think I wanna talk about her? I wish I didn’t have to. I wish she was out of our lives forever.

Taylor: Well, I don’t know if that’s gonna happen because her son, and her grandson, live in los angeles. But, you know, I– I do hope that she has changed, and I hope that she’s not going to cause trouble for–

Ridge: Wait, you hope so? She’s already caused trouble. Why do you say these things? I know you’re a psychiatrist and you see the best in everybody, but this is, it’s–

Taylor: Okay, okay, and I know that that’s annoying. I get it. I understand. I want to see the best in people. So sue me. I want people to be happy. And– but– but I also know that there are people in this world that are so deeply wounded that even therapy can’t help them.

Thomas: Right, and you don’t see sheila carter as one of those?

Taylor: Well, I mean, sheila has never been my patient, and… maybe she should have been. What I do know is it feels like sheila just wants to be my friend.

Ridge: Oh, okay, no, that’s good. Maybe she does. She just needs a friend. What do you– what are you talking about? Do you hear yourself? How do you even say these things after what she’s done to your family? What she’s done to us? Wherever that woman goes, wherever sheila shows up, tragedy follows.

[ Gunshot ringing ]

Sheila: Oh, finn. My son. My– my sweet, beautiful son. What have I done? What have I done? [ Sobbing ]

Deacon: Oh, my god, no. No, no, no. Finn. And steffy! Oh!

[ Phone dialing ]

Deacon: Yeah, yeah, there’s been a– a shooting, uh, two victims, in the alley behind il giardino. Uh, a man and a woman. Finn– uh, john finnegan, and steffy forrester. I– I don’t know what happened. I can’t tell, they’re not moving. Just get here, damn it! What happened?

Gabi: What are you doing here?

Jake: Grabbing the last of my things. Thought you’d still be at work.

Gabi: I left earlY. I wasn’t feeling well.

Jake: Sorry to hear that. See you around. But hopefully never.

Gabi: Jake, wait, hold on. Are we really gonna end things like this?

Nicole: HI, rafe, it’s me. I was hoping to catch you. Listen, I ran into abe, and he’s having a really rough time. I was hoping maybe we could invite him to dinner. Just give me a call when you get a chancE. Bye. I love you.

Ava: I love you, too. Oh. You weren’t talking to me?

Paulina: So, if the dealer who shot eli doesn’t use drugs, how’d he od?

Rafe: That’s the million-dollar question.

Tr: He just shot a cop. Maybe he was looking for a quick exit.

Rafe: Well, he had a gun. That’d be a bit quicker.

Tr: But a lot less enjoyable.

Rafe: Hmm. Well, lani seems to think it was an accidental overdose, which seems unlikely to me, considering he had no priors.

Tr: Well, just ’cause he didn’t have any priors doesn’t mean he wasn’t using, right? I mean, maybe he thought a hit would calm him dowN.

Rafe: Hmm, maybe.

Paulina: But you don’t buy it.

Rafe: Well, something just doesn’t sit right with me.

Tr: Well, we know he od’D. Does it really matter why? That animal shot my son-in-law! Unless you’re suggesting that he didn’T.

[Monitor beeping]

Lani: Thank you for the flowers, chanel. They’re-they’re really beautiful.

Chanel: I know elI can’t really enjoy them right now, but I figured it brightens up the room.

Lani: Definitely.

Chanel: Mom says you’ve been here, like, 24/7.

LanI: As much as I can be.

Chanel: Yeah, so how– can I help? You need doughnut delivery? Help with the kids? Anything?

LanI: Thank you, but we got it covereD. Your, um–paulina has been all over iT. Cleaning my apartment too. She called earlier and said that she was organizing my spice rack.

[Both chuckle] Alphabetically.

Chanel: Sounds like her.

Lani: Everyone has been really supportive. Even tr came to see eli.

Chanel: Your bio dad. Really? Is that–is that something you wanted?

Lani: I mean, I will take all the support I can right now.

Chanel: Yeah, it’s just, you know, just a few weeks ago, everyone was acting like that guy was the devil himself.

Lani: Yeah.

Allie: Did you hear what i said? Turn around and face me, you son of a bitch.

Johnny: I’m busy.

Allie: Well, I need to talk to you, johnny. What’s the problem? Can’t look me in the eye?

Johnny: Go away!

Allie: Fine, if you don’t want to turn around, I’ll make you!

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

[Soft orchestration]

Rafe: No, I don’t mean to suggest that someone besides frank shot eli.

Rafe: No, I don’t mean to suggest that someone besides frank shot eli.

Tr: What are you suggesting?

Rafe: I’m just saying that something doesn’t feel right, that’s all.

Paulina: Oh, I can see how determined you are. Eli is lucky to have you on the case.

Rafe: Well, eli’s been a good friend to me. And I owe it to him to find out the whole story. Why he was in the park, and why he got shot.

Paulina: Well, I have faith that you will turn over every stone to uncover the truth.

LanI: Ray–tr–he swears he’s a changed man.

Chanel: And you believe him?

Lani: I mean, i was skeptical at first, but, i mean, paulina has these awful stories from the past, but he’s gone through treatment and therapy, and even paulina admits that he’s a changed maN.

Chanel: Yeah, when I first met him, I never would have guessed that that was the guy that mama’s been running from for half of her life. He almost seems nice. He even did allie and me a huge favoR.

Lani: What did he do?

Chanel: He agreed to let allie and I out of our contracts as actors in johnny’s movie.

Lani: That would have been really awkward, if not a nightmare.

Chanel: There’s no way I could work with johnny now. I can’t even believe I thought he ever loved me.

Johnny: What is so damn important that we have to talk about it right now?

Allie: You told tripp that chanel and I are together.

Johnny: Yeah, so?

Allie: Why would you do that?

Johnny: I didn’t realize it was a secret–you guys were all over each other in the middle of the square.

Allie: It’s not that it’s a secret, johnny, but I wanted to tell tripp myself.

Johnny: I guess I didn’t realize you hadn’t yet.

Allie: Do not act innocenT. You knew that I hadn’t told him I slept with chanel when I accepted his proposal.

Johnny: Oh. So now it’s my fault that you cheated on him.

Allie: No, no, I own that! But lately, it is like you are enjoying watching my life fall apart. Like you are doing everything possible to make sure that happens. Why?

Gabi: Jake, i am so sorry. So, so sorry for how I treated you. I truly believed that you betrayed me firsT.

Jake: But you didn’t think to ask me about it, give me the benefit of the doubt?

GabI: Doubt–what are you talking about? I heard you talking with maggie stabbing me in the back.

Jake: Except it wasn’t me.

Gabi: How was I supposed to know that? The devil using belle to morph into you? It’s not exactly my bingo card.

Jake: It’s not about that, gabi, it’s about how you handled it, right? And instead of asking me about it, you lied. You lied, and you plotted with johnnY. And you singlehandedly destroyed our relationship, my career, my future.

Gabi: I regret all of that. I’ll figure out a way to fix this.

Jake: There’s no fixing iT. Because for us to fall apart as quickly as we did, it made me realize one thing, and that’s that we had a fundamental problem between us from the very beginning, and I think I know what it was.

Gabi: Jake, what are you talking about?

Jake: StefaN. You always wanted me to be stefan, but guess what? I’m not, and I never will be.

Gabi: What? I never wanted you to be him.

Jake: Face it, gabi. All I’ll ever be to you is a pale imitation of my twin brother.

GabI: That is not true.

Jake: Really? Then why is it that you won’t take that necklace off, huh? The necklace with his ring on it.

Gabi: ‘Cause I li–I like it, and it’s honoring his memory.

Jake: Right. Well, whatever the reason is, gabi, we’re broken. And there’s no fixing us.

Gabi: Jake, wait, where are you staying?

Jake: My old place over the garagE. Because it’s available, it’s cheap, and it’s the only thing I can afford, thanks to you.

Gabi: Jake–

Jake: So long, gabi.

Ava: So already at the “i love you” stage, huh? Well, that didn’t take long. But of course, you’ve been hiding your feelings for a long time, right?

Nicole: I’m sorry, ava, I am.

Ava: No, you’re not.

Nicole: Well, I’m about as sorry as you are for setting up rafe for a crime he didn’t commit.

Ava: Clever.

Nicole: It’s too bad your revenge plot wasn’t clever enough. And despite all your efforts, rafe was acquitted on all charges.

Ava: Oh, good for him. Yeah, yeah.

Nicole: So what are you gonna do with all this pent-up anger?

Ava: Well, guess we’re just gonna have to wait and find ouT.

Nicole: Oh, come on. Ava, will you stop it already? If you’re gonna come at me, then come at me.

Ava: You really mean that?

Nicole: I do–just have the guts to do it to my face.

Ava: Okay.

Nicole: Ow!

Ava: That looked like it stung. I’d apologize, but you did tell me to bring it to your face.

Nicole: Yeah, uh-huh, I did.

Ava: You regretting that now?

Nicole: No, actuallY. I’m glad the gloves are coming off, because now I won’t regret doing this.

Jake: Whoa, whoa, whoA. Ladies, ladies, ladies. What are you doing? What are you doing, huh? Hey. Come oN.

Paulina: Lani said eli wasn’t even working on this case when he got shot.

Rafe: That’s right. You know, in fact, mr. Coates, I just spoke with your ex-girlfriend beth about that very question.

Tr: Really? Why?

Rafe: Well, because eli was interviewing her right before the shooting, so you know, i thought perhaps she could provide some insight as to why he suddenly left the station and went to the park.

Tr: Did she know anything?

Rafe: No, unfortunately. All he said was that he had to take care of something.

Tr: That’s too bad.

Rafe: Yeah, it is. But I’ll keep on digging.

Paulina: Well, we don’t want to keep you if you have work to do.

Rafe: Thank you, yeah, I actually do have to get back to the station.

Paulina: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Well, thank you–thank you for the update, commissioner.

Rafe: Yeah–rafE.

Paulina: Thank you, rafe.

Rafe: Yeah.

Tr: Nice meeting you.

Rafe: Yeah, you too. You know, actually, lani says that you have changed, and, well, for her sake, I hope she’s right.

Lani: So you’re still hurting over johnny?

Chanel: I don’t have feelings for him anymore. I just, I can’t get over how wrong I was about him. Allie’s pretty much done with him too.

Lani: And what happened with tripp? He seemed upset when you came in.

Chanel: Yeah. Yeah, he’s pretty angry with me.

Lani: Why? What happened?

Chanel: Well, turns out that johnny took it upon himself to tell tripp that allie and I are a couple now.

Lani: Wait, what?

Johnny: Look, call me crazy, but I thought tripp had a right to know that you guys were doing the down and dirty behind his back. You know, bro code.

Allie: Oh, bro code? I’m your sister, johnny.

Johnny: Yeah. And when you do bad stuff, I’m gonna call you out.

Allie: I agree that tripp had a right to know. But I was going to break it to him gently.

Johnny: Oh yeah? When?

Allie: This is not your business.

Johnny: Actually, it is, because you see, chanel is still my wife, and she’s cheating on me with my twin sister.

Allie: Your marriage is over. You threw it away.

Johnny: Still, you can imagine how that makes me look.

Allie: Oh, is it humiliating for you? Good. I mean, after the way you humiliated chanel by dumping her in front of her entire family, you don’t get to play the victim.

Johnny: Look, we’ve already talked about this, right? You’re the one who’s always saying I’m a jerk, i’m a player. You even warned chanel about me.

Allie: Yeah, and she should have listened.

Johnny: Well, you got what you want–her. So what do you want from me?

Allie: I want to know what happened to the brother that I’ve loved my whole life.

 

[Knock at door]

Gabi: Oh, sonny.

Sonny: Hey.

Gabi: Thank you, uh, for stopping bY. Your text came in right when I needed it.

Sonny: Are you okay?

GabI: I will be. Come on in. You said you, uh, you had something from ari.

Sonny: Oh, right, yeah. She was really upset she couldn’t give this to you before she went back to phoenix.

Gabi: Oh, are you kidding me? Oh, this is so sweet, and it’s– it’s beautiful.

Sonny: Gabi, gabi, hey. It’s okay, okay? It’s just a bracelet. I know you miss her. But ari and will will be back.

GabI: It’s not just that. It’s my whole life. It’s jake.

Jake: Hey, hey, come on, ladies. What are you–what are you trying to do, kill each other?

Both: Yes!

Jake: Oh, great.

Ava: You told me I could hit yoU.

Jake: You did?

Nicole: Not exactly.

Ava: Yeah.

Jake: What, did you say she could hit you back?

Ava: Of course not. You already cheated with my boyfriend. You don’t get to hit me back.

Nicole: I tried to be your frienD.

Ava: Oh, nice job.

Nicole: Well, now it’s every woman for herselF. And if you think you can get between me and rafe, think again.

Ava: In the old days, I would have–

Jake: Uh-uh–don’t say it. Don’t even think it.

Ava: Yeah? Too late.

Jake: What? So what’s going on? Her and rafe?

Ava: Yeah. Yeah, they slept together months ago and been lying to me this whole time.

Jake: How’d you find out?

Ava: Let’s just say I figured it out, all right? And finally, rafe had the decency to break up with me.

Jake: Wow. Now, what, they’re, like, a real couple?

Ava: Now they’re in love.

Jake: Woof. SorrY.

Ava: Yeah, well, your girlfriend’s gonna be over the moon. Hey, her brother finally got rid of me.

Jake: Girlfriend. Yeah, gabi and I broke up.

Ava: Really? What happened?

Jake: You know, your cheek looks like it’s kind of bruised.

Ava: Is this your way of avoiding the subject?

Jake: It’s my way of saying how about we go inside and find you some ice, maybe sit down, swap war stories over a drink?

Ava: Yeah. Could definitely use a drink.

LanI: You and allie have been seeing each other.

Chanel: Mm-hmm.

LanI: Since when, chanel?

Chanel: It’s pretty new.

Lani: [Stammers] Sorry I seem so surpriseD. I just, I’ve–I’ve always thought she was–

Chanel: Straight?

Lani: Yes.

Chanel: Well, she actually identifies as bi. And who knows, maybe I am too. I’ve never really done the whole label thinG.

LanI: Okay, so, how did it happen? I mean, not how did– how did it happen, you know–

Chanel: I know what you mean.

LanI: Okay.

[Chuckles]

Chanel: Well, i think there’s-there’s always been feelings, but, you know, allie was with tripp, and i was with johnnY. But, you know, now that we’re both single, we figured we’d explore those feelings and see what happens.

LanI: Okay. How’s it going?

Chanel: So far, so good.

Lani: GooD. That’s really good. But you’re totally over johnny.

Chanel: I’m still, you know, hurt by what he did. I really did love hiM. But he’s just not the guy I thought I married.

Johnny: According to you, wasn’t I always just an insensitive jerk?

Allie: No, you were a player. I mean, I remember times where you were juggling three girls, and you would have sydney lie for you. But you weren’t cruel. I mean, I always thought that there was a heart underneath there.

Johnny: And you don’t think I have a heart now?

Allie: I just want to know why you’re acting like such a jerk. Okay, yeah, you and i used to bicker.

Johnny: Well, that’s one word for it. I think I still have a bald spot on my head from where you took out a fistful of haiR.

Allie: Okay, yeah, we fought, a lot, but through it all, I always felt like there was this connection. I mean, I swear, sometimes I felt like I could read your mind. And now I-I don’t feel that connection anymore. It’s like it’s gone.

Johnny: I’m sorry to hear you say that.

Allie: Okay, no, don’t just blow me off! Who are you? Where is the brother that I love?

Real johnny: I’m here, allie! I’m right here, but he won’t let me out!

Tr: You ask me, that cop was wasting his time. Like you said, they already have their man. Who cares why that loser od’d?

Paulina: I think everyone just wants to know for sure what happened to eli.

Tr: Huh.

[Phone beeps]

Tr: Damn.

Paulina: What-what is it?

Tr: Text from one of my producers. Crisis with the moviE. Look, I gotta go put out a fire, but I hate leaving you alone here with the kids.

Paulina: Well, they’re asleep. I think I can handle it.

Tr: Well, if you do need to call, you can call me anytime. I mean it.

Paulina: I know. I know you’re a busy man.

Tr: They’re our grandchildren. I never got to be with lani growing up. But I do want to be there for them. Besides, I like spending time with them. And with you.

Paulina: What are you doing?

Tr: I’m sorry, I, um, I was gonna give you a goodbye hug, but I would never touch you without your permission.

Paulina: You know I’m a hugger.

[Tense music]

Rafe: Thanks, abe. I will let you know what I find out. We’ll be in toucH.

Nicole: Hey.

Rafe: Hey, there.

Nicole: Hi.

Nicole: Oh, mm.

Rafe: What’s wrong?

Nicole: Oh, I’m just a bit sore on this side of my face.

Rafe: What happened?

Nicole: I had a little run-in with ava.

Ava: So you want to tell me what happened with you and gabi?

Jake: How much time you got?

Ava: Come on. It can’t be that complicated.

Jake: Well, the devil impersonated me so that gabi would think I betrayed her.

Ava: Are you serious?

GabI: Oh yeah. Add on top of that that I think she’s still in love with my dead twin brother.

Ava: Okay. Pretty complicated.

Jake: Yeah, but you know what’s simple? We’re done, me and gabi. That’s it. Just picked up the last of my stuff from her house.

Ava: So rafe hasn’t changed the locks yet, huh?

Jake: Ah, not yet.

Ava: You know, I know that I’m probably supposed to have a sad face and tell you how sorry I am, but I would much rather buy you a glass of champagne and congratulate you for finally getting away from that snake.

Gabi: Jake thinks I only fell in love with him because he reminded me of stefan.

Sonny: Yeah, but that’s– that’s not true, is it?

Gabi: No, of course not. I do understand why he didn’t believe me. When I first met him, I really did think it was stefan, and I desperately wanted him to bE.

Sonny: And that’s very understandablE. You thought your husband was back from the dead.

GabI: Yeah, and then, when i found out that he wasn’t, I really did fall in love with jake for who he really waS. Well, at least I thought i did.

Sonny: You’re second-guessing yourself.

GabI: Jake is right about one thing: The minute I thought he betrayed me, I turned on him so fasT. Maybe I didn’t fall in love with him for who he really was. Maybe-maybe I was just waiting for him to let me down.

Allie: Is something wrong?

Real johnny: Allie, can you hear me? I’m in here! It’s me!

Allie: Johnny, why are you acting like this? I mean, why in god’s name did you marry chanel if you didn’t love her?

Real johnny: I did love her!

Johnny: Because I knew it would get to you.

Allie: So you’re saying that you married chanel just to hurt mE.

Johnny: I’m just doing what I’ve always done. Like when I used to take your toys, you’d scream your head off.

Allie: Okay, you were two years old. You are a grown man now, and this is so not normaL. I mean, I can’t believe that you’re talking like thiS.

Real johnny: Because it’s not me, allie! Can’t you see?

Allie: Wait a minutE. I know what’s going on herE.

Ava: Well, since it is pretty sad that you were frozen out of your family’s company, beer’s on me.

Jake: Thanks, but you should probably keep the ice on your face so that it doesn’t swell up. Come on, tough guy.

Ava: Thanks. So where you going with that?

Jake: Oh, staying at my old place over the garage since ben and ciara moved out. What about you? Where are you staying?

Ava: Meh, i’ve just been lying low.

Jake: That’s right, I heard something about you being wanted by police.

Ava: Okay, they got nothing on me. But I was staying at a motel in brookville. I only came out when I heard that rafe was let out of jail.

Jake: Oh. So you’re gonna get back together?

Ava: No. No, me and rafe, we’re through. In fact, he is convinced that I set him up on those charges because he cheated on me.

Jake: Did you? Hmm?

Rafe: Ava hit you?

Nicole: Yeah.

Rafe: You’re here to press charges.

Nicole: No. No, I’m here to see you.

Rafe: Are you sure?

Nicole: Look, i definitely dared her to push me, and I went at her just as hard.

Rafe: You–nicole, you– oh, my god, you can’t do that, okay?

Nicole: I know, okay, I know! I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I should have controlled myself, but it’s just driving me crazy not knowing what ava’s gonna do to punish us next.

Rafe: Okay. Listen to me, okay? Next time you see her, call me, okay?

Nicole: I did. I did call you earlier. I left a message.

Rafe: Oh shoot, that’s right. I’m sorry, I turned my phone off and I meant to call you. I just, I was working on eli’s casE.

Nicole: I thought you knew who shot eli.

Rafe: Well, we do. There are just, uh, some unanswered questions.

LanI: I really hope you and allie will be happy together.

Chanel: Thanks, sis.

[Phone beeps]

Lani: Oh, I didn’t even realize how late it is. Eli is scheduled for some tests. I’m sure the nurse will be in here kicking us out any minute.

Chanel: Well, what about you? Do you need anything?

LanI: No, i’m good. I’m gonna duck out of here and go see the kids while I have a chancE.

Chanel: Kiss them for me, will you?

LanI: Of course. And thank you for the flowers.

Chanel: YeaH. And lani, I am so sorry that you’re going through this.

Lani: Everyone keeps saying that. But the only person who needs to be sorry is the criminal who shot my husband in cold blood.

Beth: I got your message. What’s going on?

Tr: I heard you paid a visit to the police commissioner.

Beth: Yeah, he needed me to come and sign my statement.

Tr: Then you stuck to our deal?

Beth: I didn’t tell him that you were a drug user or about the abuse.

Tr: Well, that I know. Because the commissioner sure as hell would have mentioned it if you had. But I need to make sure that you’re gonna continue to keep your mouth shut. He’s asking a lot of questions about elI grant’s shooting.

Beth: What do you care? You said you had nothing to do with that, right?

Tr: You know you can’t trust the police. I need to know I can count on you. Or things could get dicey– for both of us.

Johnny: What do you mean you know what’s really going on?

Allie: You’re saying all these horrible things, but underneath it all, it’s like–it’s like I can still feel the real you.

Real johnny: Yes, allie. Come oN. You can sense me. I know you can. Just like always.

Allie: You’re trying to push me away because there’s something going on, and you don’t want me to know.

Real johnny: You’re right. He doesn’t want you to know I’m here–the real mE. Let me out, you bastard!

Allie: Johnny, what is going on? Are you all right?

 

Jake: So if I were to look up the names of perps who implicated rafe, would i recognize them from back in the day, or…?

Ava: Of course noT. You know no one uses their real names.

Jake: Right.

Ava: Anyway, I didn’t say it was me who set up rafe.

Jake: Didn’t say that you didn’T.

Ava: Look, if I were to tell you that it was me, that’d make you an accessory after the fact. I’d never do that to you.

Jake: Hmm! All heart, this one. Look at yoU.

Ava: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Anyway, I know how hard you’ve been working to put your life of crime behind you.

Jake: Just like you.

Ava: Exactly.

Jake: Well, here’s to us, huh? Two former business associates trying to walk the straight and narrow.

Ava: Ah. The straight and narrow.

Nicole: So before he went to the park, eli had checked up on lani’s father, who, apparently, back in the day, was a piece of garbage.

Rafe: Yeah, but tr, he claims to have turned his life around, a claim actually supported by his most recent ex, and paulina and lani think it might be true.

Nicole: Well, good on him, if it sticks. But like i was telling abe earlier, in my experience, it is rare that guys like that change their stripes.

Rafe: Yeah.

Beth: Why do I feel like you’re threatening me?

Tr: I’m just trying to point out the opportunity costs. You still want to be in my movie, right?

Beth: Yes, of course I do. And I had a really great meeting with the directoR.

Tr: What’d you tell dimera about me?

Beth: I stuck to the story. But he was asking a lot of questions about how I got hired.

Tr: What kind of questions?

Beth: Well, apparently, mr. Dimera gets final say on all casting. He wanted to know why you hired me without his input.

Tr: And what’d you say?

Beth: I didn’t sleep with tr. I swear. All I did was agree to keep quiet about his past.

Johnny: What past?

Beth: He assumed I traded sexual favors to get the role. I didn’t correct his assumptions.

Tr: I hope you’re telling the trutH. Because if paulina finds out that I’m not as reformed as I said, this whole film could go to hell.

Allie: Johnny, are you all right?

Johnny: I’m fine.

Real johnny: I’m not fine. Allie! Help me!

Allie: Okay, what’s wrong?

Johnny: Will you shut up?

Allie: No, I will not shut up! I’m trying to help you!

Johnny: I wasn’t talking to you!

Allie: Well, then, who the hell are you talking to?

Sonny: Hey, your cheeks are kind of flusheD. Are you feeling okay?

Gabi: I’ve been betteR.

Sonny: You’re kind of warm. Okay, how about you get in the bed? I’ll make you some tea.

Gabi: Thank you. You’re the best. I don’t think, uh, tea’s gonna do the trick.

Sonny: Look, I’ve seen you rally over and over agaiN. Okay, you will get over jake.

GabI: It’s not just jake. You know, kate–kate told me that I am doomed to be alone. She pointed out that I have ousted every single person at dimera that cares for me, and she’s not wrong, sonny.

Sonny: [Laughs] Okay, well, rule number one: Never listen to kate dimerA.

GabI: I know, I knoW.

Sonny: And rule number two: You are not alone. Okay, you have ari. You have will. You’ve got your brother. And you have me.

Jake: So where to now? Back to brookville? Philly, what?

Ava: Ah, no, no, no. I’m staying here because my son is here, so I’ll be in salem.

Jake: You gonna get a place of your own?

Ava: I’m not really sure yet. Can’t really have tripp see me digging into my inheritance to pay the renT.

Jake: Could probably stay with him for a while, yeah?

Ava: I don’t think that’ll be such a good idea since he lives with his father and kayla.

Jake: Ah. Well, look, it’s not much, but, uh, you’re welcome to stay at my place, you know, just while you’re figuring things out.

Ava: Yeah, you don’t really mean that.

Jake: No, no, seriously. You’d probably be doing me a favor, as long as you help out with rent or, at minimum, keep the fridge stocked with beer at all times.

Ava: And you know, I’m a pretty good cook too, so.

Jake: Is that a yes?

Ava: I don’t really have many other options, so, um. You sure?

Jake: Slainte.

Ava: Salud.

Nicole: Rafe, I am sure you’re gonna figure out the whole story of eli’s shooting.

Rafe: I just wish I knew why he left that day. And how he ended up facing the drug dealer that shot hiM.

Nicole: And you can’t find any witnesses?

Rafe: No. Not so far. I mean, at this point, eli’s the only one who knows what really happened.

Tr: I’m a little over-leveraged right now. I had to move some money around to cover some debts.

Beth: What does paulina have to do with that? Unless–are you trying to get back with your ex because she’s rich? Oh, is that how you’re gonna finance the film?

Tr: Let’s just say it’s in your best interest to keep your mouth shut. Paulina needs to believe that I am a totally changed man.

Beth: Ah, so you can get your hands on her moneY.

Paulina: Oh. Lani, sweetheart. How are you doing?

LanI: I’m hanging in there. I hope the kids behaved for you.

Paulina: Toddlers don’t behave; they just are. You know, like hurricanes.

Lani: Well, that doesn’t sound good.

Paulina: I love them to death, you know thaT. They just ran around here, tired themselves out, and now they’re sleeping like angels.

Lani: Mm, did dad leave?

Paulina: You mean abe?

LanI: Of course I mean abe.

Paulina: RighT. It’s just that, uh, ray was here when he arrived.

Lani: And how did dad react?

Paulina: Not well. He was upset. He didn’t stay long.

Lani: He’s convinced that ray is bad news.

Paulina: Yeah, I can understand that. But you know, it really does seem like the man has changed. Actually, he reminds me of the sweet guy I knew all those years ago, before the drugs, you know, made him angry and abusive. Oh, but he was so good with your babies. You should have seen him. Carver even fell asleep in his arms.

Lani: It was really nice of him to come by and help out.

Paulina: Mm-hmm. I thought so. And he couldn’t have been more of a gentleman.

[Line trilling]

Chanel: God, horton, where are you?

Allie: Johnny, what is going on?

Johnny: [Stammers] It’s nothing, okay? I’m fine. Just-just-just get out of here! Leave me alone!

Real johnny: Help me, allie. Please. I know you can feel me.

Allie: Okay, johnny, what is happening to you? Okay, talk to me, please. I want to help you, I love you.

Johnny: Leave me alone!

Allie: Are you sick? Okay, I’m gonna take you to the hospital.

Demon johnny: I said leave me alone!

EJ: Clyde doesn’t trust me? I’m shocked I tell you. Shocked.
Orpheus: I’ll also be keeping a close eye on you.
EJ: Oohh. I’m flattered.
Orpheus: That smart mouth of yours will get you killed around here.

Chad: Since Phoenix, I haven’t been able to get you out of my head.
Leo: All this time I’ve been living there rent free and I didn’t know it.

Leo: This is quite the sexual revelation. It’s right up there with the time I saw Chris Evans kiss that dude.
Chad: Chris Evans is gay?
Leo: Sadly no. It’s his brother, but in my head I thought it was still Chris.

(to Chad)
Leo: Chadwick if you had spilled all of this tea sooner, I would have been all over it and you.

(to Chad)
Leo: I noticed your bad acting a mile away.

Diane: Yes, and for many years that was the kindest thing I could do for him. I mean, to not burden him with my chaos. And — and — and, what, going back, admitting to him that I’d faked my death? I mean, how could I do that to him? How could I just upturn his life again?

Jack: Exactly. It is the one decent thing you did in this whole marvelous journey of self-discovery. Good for you. Congratulations. But we both know there’s more. What is it you want, Diane? Attention? Absolution? Money? All three? Just tell me what you’re after so we can be done with this.

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

Jack: You said yourself he’s a grown man. He has built a wonderful life with his family. You think I’m gonna let you destroy that? Poison his life in Italy? No. Never. So, you go back to your new and improved life. I’ll go back to Genoa City and forget this ever happened.

Diane: But you won’t. You can’t. That’s not the man you are, Jack. You love Kyle with your whole heart. And half of him is me.

Jack: He grieved, Diane.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]

Jack: Cried himself to sleep night after night. His mother died. She was killed. He was lost, confused. Heartbroken. He had his mother ripped from his life. I know this because I was there. I held him. I tried to comfort him by telling him it wouldn’t always hurt so much, that I would always be there to protect him. Why would I stop doing that now?!

Diane: Our son needs me in his life. He deserves his mother.

Jack: A real mother. Not you.

[ Door opens ]

Diane: You came back.

Jack: I have no desire to be here. But it’s pretty obvious you’re not gonna let this go till you say what you have to say. Say it.

Diane: I know you’re angry and confused —

Jack: No, I’m a lot more than angry.

Diane: But there’s a reason for all of it.

Jack: A reason you dragged my grieving granddaughter into your little game? By the way, that’s over. She is off limits. This is between you and me. No one else. No one.

Phyllis: Hey, jack. It’s me. Um, I just wanted to know how you were doing. Um…you know, I know it’s pretty emotional for you, getting together with allie. Um…I just know it’s complicated. You know, there’s a lot going on. So, anyway, um, I just wanted you to know that I am here for you. Whatever you need, I am here for you. You can call anytime. And I really mean that — anytime, um, day or night. Don’t even worry about the time difference. Um, okay, I’ll talk to you later.

[ Cellphone thuds ]

Diane: My contact with allie was never about deception. It was about reaching out. Trying to give you back something that you didn’t even know you’d lost.

Jack: I hope you don’t expect her to thank you.

Diane: But what about you? I know you’re grateful.

Jack: Oh, is that what you want? A thank-you? Thank you, diane. Are we done here?

Diane: I’m trying to make amends.

Jack: To me. Not to the people you hurt. The people you used and exploited. The people accused of your murder. All you left in your wake was heartache and fear and anger. Some of us got over it. Others? Like kyle? You stole from him something he can never get back. [ Gasps ]

Jack: Can I get you anything at all?

Kyle: Yeah. My mom.

Jack: Look, I know you didn’t want to talk about it on the plane.

Kyle: Talking won’t bring her back.

Jack: Try to remember something, okay?

Kyle: Okay, what?

Jack: Your mother loved you more than anything in the world. You were her whole life, the best part of her, she used to say. And there is nothing she wouldn’t have done for you.

Jack: Your tore that little boy’s heart out. And for that, I will never forgive you.

Diane: You may not forgive me, but maybe, if you listen, you’ll finally understand.

Lauren: Hi.

Phyllis: Hey! How are you doing?

Lauren: Uh, I’m good, except that I need a massage, or maybe even a manicure, anything that the escape club could cook up to help me forget about the outside world.

Phyllis: Are you okay?

Lauren: I’m, uh — I’m going through something. Um, but I just — I need to relax.

Phyllis: Oh, alright. Well, I’ll book a massage for you if that’s what you want, but I have a better idea.

Lauren: Oh?

Phyllis: Yeah.

Lauren: I’m open to anything.

Phyllis: Want to talk to a friend?

Lauren: I would love to talk to my friend, but I don’t want to interfere in your work.

Phyllis: Oh, you’re not doing that. I could use a chat.

Jack: Well, you wanted this, so let’s hear it. Tell me why you shredded genoa city and our son’s life.

Diane: [ Sighs ] If there had been another way —

Jack: Than faking your own death? Oh, I guess there was no other option.

Diane: You’re right. I did enormous damage, with too many threats, and just as many schemes. I mean, victor hated me by then. And nikki and phyllis, tucker, ashley — I had wronged them all, one way or another. The walls were closing in, and so I made a plan. I would fake my own death and take kyle far away. Only none of it happened as planned. I mean, everyone was angry. Everyone wanted me gone. I mean, in the end, I was just desperation and panic. And I needed help, and [Sighs] Deacon sharpe gave it to me.

Jack: Oh, dear god.

Diane: A corpse from the morgue created the illusion. And limiting the people who saw me dead was key. And paying off anyone who could reveal the truth completed the effect. But when it was time, I couldn’t meet up with kyle. I knew that we would never outrun you, and I just — I — I couldn’t do that to him.

[ Voice breaking ] Having the world hate me was hard. But leaving kyle was soul-crushing, jack. I was so broken and I felt so worthless. And…well, then I just convinced myself that he was better off without me. You know, my — my only solace was he had a father who would love and protect him. Jack, I knew you would do whatever you could for him. And he was safe and loved with you. And I had nothing, and I had no one. And so I came west.

Jack: You ran away.

Diane: I did.

Jack: You didn’t take responsibility. You didn’t face the people that you abused.

Diane: Everybody wanted me gone, jack. I mean, I was truly hated, and — and, in time, I hated myself. I mean, all the self-loathing and — and the guilt and the shame. And [Exhales sharply] I thought, “why not? You know, the whole world thinks you’re dead. Why don’t you just give them what they want?”

Jack: So it was self-pity that motivated you, not caring about anyone else.

Diane: Fair enough. So, I — [ Chuckles ] I finally went to therapy. And I had to look at what I had done and why I had done it. And it took me years to come to terms with who I’d been, but who I wanted to be. But always, always, I held kyle in my heart. Any glimpse I saw of him on the internet — I mean, those were moments of pure joy. He was so beautiful and smart and strong. And, jack, it was obvious. You had made him into such a wonderful man. He’s got college, a career, maybe some heartbreak. But now he’s in milan with a wife and child. Jack, we’re grandparents.

Jack: We are nothing. You are kyle’s late mother. That’s what you chose.

Diane: Yes, and for many years that was the kindest thing I could do for him. I mean, to not burden him with my chaos. And — and — and, what, going back, admitting to him that I’d faked my death? I mean, how could I do that to him? How could I just upturn his life again?

Jack: Exactly. It is the one decent thing you did in this whole marvelous journey of self-discovery. Good for you. Congratulations. But we both know there’s more. What is it you want, diane? Attention? Absolution? Money? All three? Just tell me what you’re after so we can be done with this.

[Music: Sung by craig robinson]

Lauren: So, when michael retired from the da’s office, it was, you know, so we could spend more time together.

Phyllis: Mm.

Lauren: So he could have this quieter, simpler life.

Phyllis: And he worked for victor newman. Wow.

Lauren: [ Laughs ] Right. Exactly my reaction. Um, so he said not to worry, it’s not gonna interfere with our time together and he’s gonna make his own hours. And it’s not gonna be dangerous or risky.

Phyllis: What does victor have him doing?

Lauren: I can’t exactly get into specifics.

Phyllis: Ah.

Lauren: But let’s just say that a very routine assignment was anything but that. I went days without hearing from him.

Phyllis: Really? So he thinks it’s a wild adventure, and you’re just worried sick, right?

Lauren: Right. That’s why I’m so frustrated. How do I fight it? Do I just accept this new unpredictable lifestyle of his?

Phyllis: I mean, why is it that the thing that we love about someone is also the thing that just drives us crazy and makes us worry about them?

Lauren: [ Chuckles ]

Diane: You have no good memories of us? None at all? Because I do. From the very beginning. Of course I had my heart broken more than once. But it was worth it just to be in your life.

Jack: That was decades ago, diane. If you’re still holding on to that, I can’t help you. There was far more bad than good. Mountains of bad.

Jack: Diane, I don’t know what part of your little 12-step program I am.

Diane: As I said, I was passing through town. I happened to run into a man i was engaged to once, and i decided to speak from the heart.

Jack: Well, if you’re expecting the same thing from me, sorry. I’ve been there and done that.

Diane: No regrets?

Jack: None.

Diane: You mentioned you were talking about me this morning.

Jack: Yeah. To phyllis. She found an old set of plans you drew up for our dream house.

Diane: And you kept them all this time? How sweet.

Jack: I tore them this morning.

Diane: Oh.

Jack: I told phyllis all about our little “fiasco.” How while you were drawing up those plans, you were also starting a relationship with victor newman. How our entire relationship was a waste of time.

Diane: Ouch. That hurts.

Jack: You’re looking prosperous. Obviously, you’re doing well.

Diane: Yes, I am, thank you.

Jack: Good. I hate to kick someone while they’re down.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] Someplace you need to be?

Jack: Yep.

[ Dishware clatters ]

Diane: Do you have any parting words for an old flame?

Jack: As a matter of fact, I do. I’ve come to realize over time that victor newman did me a favor. Taking you off my hands. In fact, it’s the only nice thing he’s ever done for me. Goodbye, diane. Have a nice life.

Diane: Maybe we were too much alike. But the spark was addictive. Well, for me at least. And there was love.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ] I can’t believe it.

Jack: What, something wrong?

Diane: It’s — it’s — oh, my gosh. Oh.

[ Sighs ] It’s a beautiful diamond engagement ring.

Jack: I love you. Please say you’ll be my bride. Here. Let’s see what a little champagne will do to add sparkle to a diamond. Here. Say you’ll be my wife. Make me the happiest man on the planet.

Diane: I loved you, jack. And I know there was a time that you loved me, too.

Jack: That died before you did. There’s no whipping up nostalgia. There’s no “good old times.” Any warm or even neutral feelings I had for you are gone. Obliterated by this latest stunt.

Diane: Stunt? I brought allie into your life. And more importantly, I brought kyle into this world. No matter what, that connects us. And I know that means something to you, too.

Lauren: And why do I feel like we’re not talking about michael anymore? Are you worried about jack?

Phyllis: Why do you think I’m worried about jack?

Lauren: Because I’ve heard you talk about him for months, and whatever’s going on with him must be pretty significant. And don’t deny it. You said you needed to talk to a friend as much as I did.

Phyllis: Well, it’s not a big deal. Really. I wasn’t worried about him. But now I’m wondering if i should be.

Jack: Yes, bringing kyle into this world is the one good thing you ever did. What about now, diane? Keemo. Allie. The mysterious texts. Hell, you bought this entire house just to talk to me. Think about that. Think about how absurd that sounds. The money, the time. The pretense. Does that sounds normal to you?

Diane: My thought was, it’s time. I have faced my mistakes. I’ve accepted the past, and i have done the work. The old diane truly is dead. And it is time to make amends.

Jack: I’m afraid there’s more than just me.

Diane: Yes, there are many others.

Jack: Yes. Who have gotten on with their lives without knowing you are a changed woman.

Diane: When keemo died, you lost any chance at being part of his life. And then I guided you to allie. The granddaughter you would have never have known otherwise. Because I know that family means the world to you, jack. Just as it does to me. [ Sighs ] So, all I’m asking is —

Jack: You want me to help you connect to kyle.

Jack: And there it is. The demand.

Diane: A request. That you of all people should understand. How could I not want to reconnect with my son?

Jack: You just said yourself you are toxic!

Diane: In the past, yes. Absolutely. But not now.

Jack: Now? You manipulated allie. You deceived me. Sent me mysterious texts so I’d find my son’s obituary. In what world is that reformed?!

Diane: I protected kyle by leaving. I did what was best for his sake. But he’s a grown man now. He’s a father. He — he knows how deep a parent’s love goes. Jack, he’s in a better place to understand my love for him. And I’m in a better, stronger place. I could be a healthy presence in his life. Oh, come on. You can’t tell me you don’t remember those moments when we’d look at that little boy and we marveled at how perfect anything could be.

Jack: I remember a lot, diane. I remember how hard you worked to keep my son from me. Shipping him off to switzerland, changing his name so I couldn’t find him. Timothy, wasn’t it?

Diane: Okay, that was when i was spinning out, and I regret every moment. But I have changed.

Jack: So you’ve said.

Diane: So have you jack, so don’t pretend it’s not possible. You were so cold and — and callous in the past. You were using people. Vindictive. Focused on revenge. But you’re not that person anymore. So why is it so impossible to believe that the same thing couldn’t happen for me?

Lauren: Jack is my friend, too. If there’s something to worry about, I would like to know.

Phyllis: Well, it’s not my news to share.

[ Footsteps passing ] He’s in los angeles dealing with something from his past. Oh, I shouldn’t have said that! Why’d I say that? It’s not my news to share. Don’t be concerned. I encouraged him to go.

Lauren: Alright, so then why are you stressing out about it? Are — are you having second thoughts?

Phyllis: Well, no, I’m not. I just — I’m worried about him. I — I should have gone with him. I’m worried about him facing this alone.

Diane: Kyle is my son.

Jack: You said yourself he’s a grown man. He has built a wonderful life with his family. You think I’m gonna let you destroy that? Poison his life in italy? No. Never. So you go back to your new and improved life. I’ll go back to genoa city and forget this ever happened.

Diane: But you won’T. You can’T. That’s not the man you are, jack. You love kyle with your whole heart. And half of him is me.

Jack: He grieved, diane.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]

Jack: Cried himself to sleep night after night. His mother died. She was killed. He was lost, confused. Heartbroken. He had his mother ripped from his life. I know this because I was there. I held him. I tried to comfort him by telling him it wouldn’t always hurt so much, that I would always be there to protect him. Why would I stop doing that now?!

Diane: Our son needs me in his life. He deserves his mother.

Jack: A real mother. Not you.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Jack: And you sure as hell don’t deserve him.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jack: Goodbye, diane.

[ Door opens ]

Diane: [ Breathes deeply ]

[ Exhales heavily ] Charmin ultra soft has so much cushiony softness,

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Be ready for whatever life throws your way.

Jack: You’re not really worried that I have feelings for diane jenkins?

Phyllis: No, because I know you’re in love with me.

Jack: That’s right. Body and soul.

Phyllis: Yet you chose to get involved with this woman again and again?

Jack: My history with diane goes way back. I met her when she was a model at jabot. Hell, I should’ve learned my lesson then and gotten her the hell out of my life.

Phyllis: But you didn’T.

Jack: No, I didn’T. She came back into town, and I got sucked right back in. And that, of course, is when i got my comeuppance from victor newman. Actually, I should be thanking the mustache. He did finally get diane out of my life once and for all.

Phyllis: And victor got his own comeuppance.

Jack: Oh, you mean the ugly divorce. Yeah. The final blow came when diane found out that, uh, the baby she was carrying wasn’t victor’s, as she had insisted it was.

Phyllis: That’s when she split out of town.

Jack: Yep. Any trace of diane jenkins is out of my life forever.

Jack: Diane’s son kyle… is my child.

Phyllis: How?

Jack: You know the circumstances surrounding how she got pregnant.

Phyllis: Yeah, I do. I know that she stole sperm from a reproductive lab.

Jack: Okay, what — what — what you don’t is that a couple of years ago I had a testicular cancer scare. My doctor suggested as a precaution, I leave a sample at robertson reproduction labs. It turns out now that victor’s swimmers were switched with mine. And the mystery father is yours truly.

Phyllis: Nikki is responsible for the switch.

Jack: Nikki is not responsible for this.

Phyllis: Yes. Right. Right.

Jack: Nikki never even met the man that switched the samples.

Phyllis: So, what are you telling me? It’s a coincidence?

Jack: Yes. Yes.

Phyllis: Bull. It’s not a coincidence. Give me a break. Nikki is responsible for this. Or maybe diane. I mean, we both know that she has a thing for you. Somebody is responsible for this, jack.

Jack: Listen to me. Nikki would never do anything consciously to mess me up.

Phyllis: What about diane?

Jack: Diane — if she had known, why would she leave the country for a year? Why would she go through the public humiliation she went through with victor? She could have come to me. You and I weren’t together then. Besides, I’ve seen diane. She’s as messed up by all this as I am.

Phyllis: Oh, I’m sure she is. Oh, I’m sure she’s so messed up. Jack, this is absolutely unbelievable.

Jack: Phyllis, I need desperately for you to understand this.

Phyllis: Oh, god. You know what? Yeah, I understand all of this. But you know what I don’t understand, is if you and diane just found out about this, what is she gonna do? Just give up her kid to you and me and go merrily back to milan? Is that the story?

Jack: Not exactly.

Phyllis: Not exactly. Right. Wow. There’s that phrase again. Don’t you tell me that you’re thinking of going to court over this. Don’t you dare tell me you’re thinking of making diane stay in genoa city so we can share custody with and her and have this bitch in our life 24/7. Don’t you dare tell me you’re thinking of that.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Lauren: Thank you. You know, I’m sure jack appreciates your willingness to support him and your opinions.

Phyllis: Well, I don’t know about that. You know, I think he’s tired of my opinions.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Phyllis: And I’m sort of walking the line of being a friend and meddling.

Lauren: Yeah, but based on what you’ve said to me, I don’t think you have anything to worry about.

Phyllis: Yeah. Listen, this is no big deal compared to what you’re going through with michael. And it’s fine. Jack and I are friends, and it’ll be fine. It’s just — [ Stammers ] I’ve been calling him and he’s not answering and he usually answers and it just makes me anxious.

Lauren: I get that.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Lauren: But I’m sure he can handle whatever’s going on in los angeles. He’s a very capable man, just like michael.

Phyllis: Yeah, he is. He just has this big, amazing heart. And it’s a good thing. But it can cause him to get blind-sided in the worst way.

Diane: Why don’t you sit on the couch with kyle between us? We’ll play with some of your old toys, and that’ll keep him happy.

Jack: Okay.

Diane: That’s right.

Jack: There we go.

Diane: Look, sweetie. This was daddy’S.

Jack: What do you think of that?

Diane: He likes it. I know you don’t trust me, jack. You’ve made that very clear. But still, seeing you and kyle together like this makes me wish that there could be a better solution to this mess. In fact, it makes me certain that there must be a better way. He deserves that.

Jack: I had a great time.

Kyle: Me, too.

Jack: I’m really proud of you, son. You have no idea. You’ve turned into a great kid. And I know that wasn’t my doing.

Diane: Oh, don’t be so sure.

Jack: Don’t forget our deal.

Kyle: I won’T.

Diane: What “deal”?

Kyle: The next time a father/son event comes up… dad wants to be there.

Diane: Well, I hope he is.

Diane: [ Sighs ] And tonight’s winning numbers are 18,

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Phyllis: Oh, it’s jack!

Lauren: Excellent timing. He could tell you were thinking of him.

Phyllis: Yes. Yeah. I’ll be right back. Hey, jack! What is going on? Um, I tried to call. I’ve been worried. I’ve left messages.

Jack: Yeah, I got them. I appreciate all of them.

Phyllis: Okay. Are you okay?

Jack: I’ve been spending some time with allie.

Phyllis: Oh. And how is that time going?

Jack: You know, I’ll tell you all about it when I get back.

Phyllis: There’s something going on. I can hear it in your voice.

Jack: I’ll handle it.

Phyllis: Okay, now it’s worse.

Jack: I’ll be back as soon as I can.

Phyllis: Okay. I’ll be here.

Jack: Don’t worry. Hi.

Allie: Hi. Thanks. So, how did it go? With diane?

Jack: Listen to me. Diane is not your problem. Forget about her. Forget you ever even met her.

Allie: She’ll be living in my dad’s house.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Allie: Which she only bought to go through me to get to you. God, it feels so wrong. Like a violation.

Jack: I am so sorry.

Allie: It’s not your fault.

Jack: No, I still responsible. Diane wants to be near kyle, and that’s the last place she should be.

Allie: She abandoned her son when he was a child who needed her. But after all this time, she wants him back.

Jack: Well, that’s not gonna happen. And I told her to stay away from you from now on.

Allie: But will she stay away from you?

Jack: I can handle diane.

[ Breathes deeply ] What? What — what does that look mean?

Allie: [ Laughs ] Nothing. Nothing. It’s just… you know, I can see some of my dad in you. He gets pretty fierce when he gets protective.

Jack: He was like that, was he?

Allie: Very much so. I would need to tell him to tone it down sometimes.

Jack: I’d like to learn more about how keemo — how hao was as a father.

Allie: I have stories. But the thing is…

Jack: Go ahead.

Allie: I’d like to learn about you, too. You and your family.

Jack: It’s your family, too. Yeah, that’s great. What do you want to talk about first? Uh, your great aunts? Your cousins? Your uncle kyle who’s pretty close to your age?

Allie: This is surreal.

Jack: Yeah, it really is. And so much better than I ever expected.

Lauren: Do you feel better now that you’ve spoken to jack?

Phyllis: No. I feel worse. Something’s wrong.

Lauren: What did he say?

Phyllis: He didn’t say anything. It was the tone of his voice. I’ve heard that tone before.

Lauren: Hmm. So this is about his past.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Oh, yeah. It has to do with his family.

Lauren: Ah, the most important thing to him.

Phyllis: Yeah. I mean, it’s where all of his emotional scars come from, going all the way back to dina.

Lauren: Yeah, but you don’t ever get over the abandonment of a parent. I can certainly relate. I have had a really hard time with my mom.

Phyllis: You know, I heard that when dina first came into town to rebuild a relationship with her adult kids, right, that traci and ashley were very cautious about their feelings, you know? They weren’t very vulnerable.

Lauren: I knew the family back then, and that’s exactly how I remember it.

Phyllis: But it wasn’t like that with jack, you know? He — he let her in, you know, only to get the rug ripped out from under him time and time again.

Lauren: But, you know, that’s jack, you know? He has that capacity for love and forgiveness.

Phyllis: Yeah, he gets hurt over again and again. I’m guilty of that. I’ve hurt him a lot. I just stick the knife in and twist it.

Lauren: But you two are beyond that now.

Phyllis: Yeah. Yeah. I feel that we are. I mean, that’s why I’m very, very careful with him, you know? He means a lot to me. And, um, I never want to hurt him again. Uh, I could never do that to him.

Diane: Are you telling me that —

Jack: The two of you can move in temporarily until you’re able to decide which job to take. I am hoping, yes, in appreciation for my generosity, you might not move halfway around the world.

Diane: Have you spoken to anyone else about this?

Jack: Any family? No. No. I haven’t talked to my father yet.

Diane: So, you think he’ll agree?

Jack: Look, I’ll see to it that this works out. At any rate, you’ll be staying at the pool house.

Diane: The pool house?

Jack: It’s perfectly comfortable.

Diane: It’s not exactly a home.

Jack: Hey, it’s right next to the home.

Diane: No, still, that’s not what I had in mind.

Jack: Diane, given the circumstances, I thought it best for everyone concerned to keep a little distance between you and phyllis.

Diane: I knew that’s what this was about.

Jack: What the devil did you expect?

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Jack: Look, I want this to work out. I am not gonna roll over my wife like some bulldozer. I have to take — no, i want to take her feelings into consideration.

Diane: Which means what? Sticking your son and me in some outbuilding so she won’t make waves? Well, thanks a lot, jack, for nothing!

[ Footsteps departing ]

Diane: [ Sighs ] I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Jack: Oh, yeah. Breakfast is the great abbott family tradition. Best way to start any day. No matter how busy all of us are, we always make time for cinnamon rolls and bacon.

Allie: [ Chuckling ] Oh, wow. Thank you. That sounds amazing. I guess as an only child, I kind of missed out on that kind of thing.

Jack: Well, I never knew what it was like to grow up in a small family.

Allie: Oh, I got plenty of attention. Whenever I needed my dad, he was always there for me.

Jack: Your dad loved you very much.

Allie: [ Chuckles ] Even when I didn’t want him around.

Jack: A little too attentive sometimes?

Allie: Believe it or not, I was a mathlete. I know. Totally uncool. And having him show up to give me a one-man standing ovation at all our school competitions was just downright embarrassing.

[ Laughs ]

Lauren: You really think this situation in los angeles is going to lead to jack getting hurt?

Phyllis: Well, after that phone call, I’m just convinced that something is wrong. I don’t know what it is, but something is wrong. I mean, I spoke to him earlier, and he was fine. And then I spoke to somebody else who’s worried about jack’s situation, and that stirred up all these protective feelings that I have. And then that phone call that i just had with him, it was totally different. He had a totally different vibe than he had before. So, something has happened in between those two calls.

Lauren: I know. I know. You’re concerned about him.

[ Sighs ] Right now michael is home resting and recovering because he won’t let this thing go and he’s not gonna stop until he’s righted a wrong. So…I completely understand. You love him, and you don’t want to see him hurt. It’s as simple as that.

Diane: [ Breathes deeply ]

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Nikki: To have michael held captive in a foreign country? How can he do that to someone?

Victor: He’s not gonna get away with it.

Billy: Victoria, I need to talk to you…now.

Diane: Phyllis. I didn’t know you were in town.

Phyllis: I didn’t know you were alive. I have a lot of nausea, <

Proofread by Anita

Sonny: Good to see you, Brick.

Brick: Good to see you. How you doing, man?

Sonny: How’d you get here so fast from L.A.?

Brick: Ah. I know a guy who knows a guy who’s got a jet fueled and ready at LAX. When you call, I’m here. How you doing, man? How can I help you?

Sonny: There’s, uh — there’s been a void in my life too long that I’ve been trying to fill, but…

Brick: Someone used to fill that void.

Sonny: Yeah. Jason.


Man: Been a long time, Ms. Davis.

Alexis: It’s you.

Man: You remember.

Alexis: Oh, I never forget a face. Especially when it belongs to the man who blamed me for his brother’s death.


Harmony: [ Sighs ]

Nina: Hey. Hi. So, how did it go with Michael and Willow? You saw them, right?

Harmony: Yeah. Yeah, I did.

Nina: A-and? Did — did you tell them that it’s in Wiley’s best interests to let him visit with me?

Harmony: I said all that and more.

Nina: Great. And…?

Harmony: [ Sighs ]

Nina: Come on, Harmony. Don’t leave me in suspense. What did Michael and Willow say?

Harmony: Not what you wanted to hear.


Nikolas: [ Sighs ] There’s nothing to be afraid of. You’re safe.

Esme: This place is extraordinary. I mean, even the name sounds grand. Wyndemere.

Spencer: It’s not like you haven’t been here before.

Esme: Not for months. It’s good to be back.

Nikolas: Well, most importantly, you’re safe from Sonny and his goons here.

Spencer: And what about the lady of the house? When are you gonna loop Ava in?


[ Door closes ]

Judge Young: Ms. Robinson, there are two counts against you. How do you plead? Ms. Robinson?

Scott: Your honor —

Trina: I-I got this. Your honor… I plead not guilty.


Brick: The sun’s going down. Perfect time to raise a glass to our gone but never forgotten friend. Yeah. What happened to the bar? No single malt, aged 12 years in a sherry cask?

Sonny: Ah, I’m taking a break from the hard stuff. But the bar’s loaded, if you want to go and help yourself.

Brick: Wither thou goest, I will go.

Sonny: [ Laughs ] I was hoping you’d say that.

[ Both chuckle ]

Brick: So, how can I help you fill that void? You up for an adventure? San Juan, Hong Kong? Marrakesh?

Sonny: No, not adventure. Monica has declared Jason legally dead, so we’re all gonna be going to the memorial service.

Brick: May he rest in peace.

Sonny: Maybe Jason can, but I can’t. You remember… uh, Selina Wu?

Brick: I do.

Sonny: Right.

Brick: Formidable lady. She causing you trouble?

Sonny: She’s been giving me advice. Um, I’ve heard it many times.

Brick: What advice is this, exactly?

Sonny: I can’t run the business alone anymore, Brick. I need somebody else to step up and fill that hole that Jason left behind.

Brick: I accept.


Alexis: Brendan, isn’t it?

Brendan: It is.

Alexis: Last time we saw each other was at Neil’s funeral. Not a very pleasant occasion, for many reasons.

Brendan: This is a celebration of Neil’s life. You stripped him of everything he considered worth living for. I do not want this service tainted with your presence. You’re not welcome.

Alexis: You made your feelings crystal clear. And if it’s any consolation, that moment was devastating to me and sent me into my own personal hell.

Brendan: I heard you lost your law license, hit the booze pretty hard, and didn’t stop until you attacked a cop and went to prison.

Alexis: Mm. Very flattered that you’ve kept up with my life. What do you want?


Nina: Listen, Willow just told you what she thought Michael wanted to hear. You know what you need to do? Get her alone.

Harmony: [ Sighs ]

Nina: She’ll change her mind and let me see Wiley.

Harmony: No, I’m sorry, Nina. Willow does not think it’s in Wiley’s best interest to have contact with you.

Nina: So Michael and Willow want a fight, do they? They’ll get a fight. Especially after my run-in with Carly earlier.

Harmony: What happened?

Nina: Well, I foolishly tried to talk to Carly about reaching a compromise with Wiley, but she wasn’t having it.

Harmony: Is she not just going through a rough patch, right? She got divorced from Sonny.

Nina: Carly filed for that divorce. She pushed it through basically overnight. She threw away Sonny with both hands.

Harmony: Just give her some time. Let, you know, Carly lick her wounds, give her time to heal.

Nina: If that ever happens. And then what, Harmony? Wiley will be in college, asking, “who’s Nina?” And he’ll never know who his birth mother is. If only I knew that Nelle was my daughter before she died. I could have saved her from herself. [ Voice breaking ] I know I could’ve. And I wouldn’t have to be begging for a chance to get to know my grandson or for him to know me.


Nikolas: I’ll wait to tell Ava when she gets home. Right now, she’s at your friend Trina’s hearing.

Spencer: Right. That was today.

Esme: Do you wish you were there?

[ Liquid pouring ]

Spencer: I’m the last person that Trina wants to see.

Esme: I didn’t ask what Trina wants.

Nikolas: Esme, do you want to drop your bags off in your bedroom? It’s the same one you were in last time you were here.

Spencer: Father, you can’t stop Esme from bringing up Trina. She’s obsessed.

Esme: Don’t I have reason to be? I mean, it doesn’t matter that there’s evidence that Trina posted that video of Joss and Cam. Sonny corinthos still believes it was me.

Nikolas: Which is why you’re at Wyndemere. It’s Spencer’s home. And it’s safe.

Esme: Is any place really safe from Sonny Corinthos?

Spencer: Uncle Sonny will do anything and everything to protect his family.

Esme: Protect them from me, you mean.

Spencer: I didn’t say that.

Esme: Oh, I didn’t have to. I’ll take my bags up.

Nikolas: Why are you treating Esme this way when you invited her to stay here?

Spencer: I’m sorry, father, but she really pushes my buttons. The way that I’ve been known to push other people’s. By the way, is there a bomb shelter on the island?

Nikolas: Why?

Spencer: Because I’d like to be inside it when you tell Ava that Esme and I have moved in.


Scott: Stick with me, kid. They’ll be sorry they tried to railroad you.

ADA Arden: Your honor, this was a premeditated act that required a significant amount of planning. The defendant specifically targeted her friends with the intent to cause harm. The state asks that bail be set at $250,000.

Scott: Your honor, my client is a freshman in college. She’s not Lizzie Borden. She has ties to the community. She is innocent until proven guilty. She should be released without bond.

ADA Arden: If the defendant is released without posting significant bail and has access to a computer, she has the capacity to do significant harm. Who knows who else she’s taped?

Scott: You know, why don’t you save that for your closing statement, if you can get that far?

Judge Young: That will be enough, Mr. Baldwin. Ms. Arden, there is no indication that the defendant poses a threat to the community. Therefore, the defendant is released without bond.

[ Gavel bangs ]

Judge Young: Ms. Robinson, you’re free to go, pending a trial date to be determined.

Bailiff: Court is adjourned.

Portia: Oh, honey, I have never been prouder of you.

Trina: Thanks.

Portia: Good job. Oh!

Curtis: Trina, you were great. You did great.

Ava: May I?

Trina: Thank you so much for coming.

Ava: Oh, Trina, I’m just so proud of you for proclaiming your innocence.

Portia: And now we prove it, whatever it takes.

Trina: You too, Webber.

Cameron: [ Chuckles ]


Brendan: I was in pain, and I wasn’t ready to face my brother’s failings. So I lashed out at you, blamed you for his death.

Alexis: Is that an apology?

Brendan: It is.

Alexis: I wish that I knew about Neil’s addiction. I maybe could have helped. But he hid it from me, so I had no clue.

Brendan: Well, you’ve suffered enough. But look at you now — brand-new career, off the booze, respected, productive member of your community.

Alexis: Well, thank you for the compliment. You were really hostile to me at Neil’s funeral. So what is it with the sudden attitude adjustment?

Brendan: Oh, I’ve had some bad luck myself. Failed marriage, failed business. It’s taught me humility.

Alexis: And the need to make amends?

Brendan: Well, as two people who loved Neil, I hoped we could come to an understanding.


Harmony: I’m sorry, Nina, that nothing can bring back Wiley’s birth mother. But you have to know that Willow loves that little boy like he’s her own flesh and blood. And if you give it some time, maybe she can convince Michael to let you see your grandson.

Nina: How much time? This is the same woman that you told me who doesn’t think that I’m good for Wiley. I remember when she was “Ms. Tait,” and she taught my former stepdaughter Charlotte. I didn’t like her then. I should have trusted my instincts.

Harmony: Willow is highly principled.

Nina: Oh, please. I mean, she tells me that she’s going to help me. And then the next moment, she pulls a 180 and then sides with Michael. She doesn’t have a backbone. She only pretends that she’s compassionate. That “weeping Willow” is no oak.

Harmony: Just because she’s gentle doesn’t mean she’s weak.

Nina: I’m so sorry. I know that she’s your daughter. I’m just frustrated.

Nina: I mean, look how she has treated you, right? She’s barely spoken to you since you got out of prison.

Harmony: Things are much better between us now.

Nina: Oh, until Michael shuts her down. And then what’s gonna happen? She is incapable of standing up to the man or Carly. I’d be better off to ask a stranger for help.

Harmony: Willow is no stranger! And she’s just as strong as her mother!

Nina: No, no, no, no. No, she’s never gonna be as strong as you, Harmony. You’ve overcome a lot, and you turned your life around. Willow would be lucky to have even one drop of your courage.

Harmony: [ Voice breaking ] I’m sorry. I forgot I have an appointment. I have to go.


Sonny: Was that a serious offer? ‘Cause I could use your areas of expertise.

Brick: Oh, I can definitely help with the logistics, business support, definitely cybersecurity. But you’ll need to bring in somebody else as a facilitator.

Sonny: I trust you with my life.

Brick: Trust goes both ways. You know that.

Sonny: So, Jason used to do the day-to-day.

Brick: Mm-hmm.

Sonny: But since he passed, I got to deal with the other families and try to figure out who targeted my stepdaughter.

Brick: You mean the tape of her and her boyfriend?

Sonny: You saw the tape?

Brick: Hell, no. But I saw people seeing it. And I got to tell you, it took every bit of self-control I could muster for me not to take every one of them out. Please tell me you found out who did this.

Sonny: I know who’s responsible. I don’t have proof yet.

Brick: [ Sighs ]

Sonny: But I put them on notice.


Ava: Well, congratulations. You’ve got one courageous client.

Scott: Yeah, tell me about it, but she’s got a big fight ahead. Oh, hey, counselor, get used to the judge seeing things my way.

ADA Arden: Cybercrimes are insidious. The law’s still catching up. The fact is, whatever goes on the internet lives there forever. And your client taped her friends without their knowledge and put it up for the whole world to see.

Scott: Hey, Molly, tell your boss here —

Molly: You can address me as ADA Lansing-Davis.

Scott: Ohh, brother, okay. But y-you don’t really believe that Trina did it.

Molly: I believe that DA Scorpio offered a generous plea bargain. And it was your obligation, as Trina’s attorney, to advise her to take it.

ADA Arden: My associate’s right. You should have taken the deal. But you didn’t, so we’re going to trial. I’m gonna take a stand for everyone who’s ever had an intimate picture or video weaponized against them. Your client may have thought it was no big deal, but she was mistaken. And she’ll go to prison for the full term.

Trina: Thank you for being here, for standing by me.

Josslyn: That’s what friends do.

Trina: You took back the narrative when you told your story to the invader. Your courage made me realize that I don’t need to give in to cyberbullies, to Esme. The world needs to know I’m not the one who hurt you.

Scott: Okay, so, listen, we got to talk strategy.

Portia: Now? I-I mean, is that really necessary? Trina’s already been through so much today.

Scott: That ADA is out for blood.

Curtis: The judge hasn’t even set a trial date yet.

Trina: Honestly, I just want to take a long, hot bath.

Scott: Okay. You can do that. Tomorrow, we got a lot of work to do.

Trina: Thanks.

Curtis: Okay, I noticed that there were reporters outside in the corridor, and they’re gonna want a statement, which I don’t think any of us should be making.

Ava: Oh, I know my way around this courthouse. We can exit this way.

Portia: [ Chuckles ] Let’s go home.

Trina: [ Chuckles ]

Portia: Bye.

Cameron: Joss?

Josslyn: If this were my mom, she would walk out of this courtroom with her head held high.

Cameron: But you’re not your mom, okay? You have nothing to prove.

Josslyn: Yeah, only to myself.

Smoltz: Hey, hold up. Hold up.

Cameron: No, you’re too late. Trina went out the back.

Smoltz: Oh, it’s not Trina Robinson I want, Mr. Webber. It’s you and your girlfriend.


Josslyn: [ Scoffs ] We already told our story to the invader. Read it yourself, if you can afford the paywall.

Smoltz: I did read it.

Cameron: Well, if you did read it, then you would know we have nothing else to say.

Smoltz: I know Alexis Davis stole my scoop and cut me out of the story.

Cameron: Oh, boo-hoo. Life’s unfair.

Smoltz: What — well, what about your friend Trina, huh? Your story did some good. But what about your friend?

Josslyn: What about Trina?

Smoltz: Did she do it? Did she film you two and then post it?

Josslyn: [ Scoffs ]

Cameron: Hell, no.

Smoltz: How can you be so sure? Do you know who’s responsible? Oh, you do know. You just can’t prove it.

Josslyn: What do you want, Mr. Smoltz?

Smoltz: An exclusive. Tell me everything you know, stuff you didn’t say in the interview. And I’ll help you get the goods on whoever set up your friend. Sound good?

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Ava: You! Get the hell away from them!


Portia: Welcome home. [ Chuckles ]

[ Door closes ]

Portia: So, tell me. What do you think?

Trina: I mean, I liked it when it belonged to Joss’s dad. I like it even better now that it’s yours.

[ Both laugh ]

Trina: A safe harbor.

Curtis: Good memories?

Trina: Yeah. I mean, six months ago, our biggest problem was opening a jar of Sonny’s marinara sauce. [ Sighs ] Now everything’s changed.

Curtis: Well, now, you heard what the lawyer said. We’re gonna fight this.

Portia: We’re gonna fight this, and we’re gonna win.

Trina: I told Joss and Cam that their courage gave me courage. But your support helped me out a lot, too.

Curtis: Well, um, we can do a lot more than offer moral support. I could, um, find evidence to exonerate you. I haven’t forgotten how to find clues in dumpsters and garbage cans.

Portia: [ Chuckles ] Let’s just hope that it doesn’t come to that.

Trina: Yeah. I hate to admit it, but Spencer’s right. On one hand, there are tons of people who believe in me.

Curtis: And, uh — and on the other hand?

Trina: There’s evidence that proves I did it. Esme made sure of that.


Nikolas: Ava’s well aware of Sonny’s methods when he feels someone has crossed him or his family. She’ll understand the need to protect Esme.

Spencer: But will she understand why I’m sitting across from her at breakfast? [ Sniffles ]

Nikolas: Yeah. This isn’t a permanent arrangement. You know, if Trina is found guilty, even Sonny will have to accept the verdict and back off.

Spencer: Even if Uncle Sonny does, I don’t think that Ava will, because Ava loves Trina like a daughter, and she would happily throw Esme to the wolves if it means that Trina goes free.

Nikolas: And if Esme is carrying your child? Ava might not like it. She’ll make peace with it.

Spencer: And if Esme isn’t pregnant?

Nikolas: It’s all the more reason for you to find out.


Brick: So little Spencer has a girlfriend.

Sonny: Yeah, he’s not little anymore.

Brick: You always — you’ve always liked this kid.

Sonny: I still do, but not — not his company.

Brick: You’re convinced this Esme Prince is behind the video. Are you sure Spencer didn’t help her?

Sonny: Well, you know, Spencer’s done some terrible things, but he’s known Josslyn since they were in kindergarten.

Brick: Yeah.

Sonny: And, uh, Cameron I-is… part of his extended family, I think his — I think his hands are clean.

Brick: So the girlfriend is operating behind his back.

Sonny: Yeah. If we can prove that Trina is innocent and Esme is — is guilty, it won’t be just justice for Josslyn and Cameron. It will be a way for Spencer… to dump this girlfriend.

Brick: I know you’ve got your own people on it, but as always, if you need me…

Sonny: Yeah, I need you.

Brick: Then I’m on it. But in the meantime…

Sonny: What is on your mind?

Brick: You’re always running around here looking out for everybody else. Who’s looking out for you?


Scott: Ah, hiya, Nina. What do you want? Uh, I-I’m very busy. I got a young woman that needs my help, unlike you.

Nina: Uh, okay, whatever. Listen, I am sorry. I thought we could avoid going to court.

Scott: Oh, you thought you might get, uh, Wiley’s parents, somebody to intercede with them, like Sonny? But he threw you to the wolves, didn’t he?

Nina: No, this has nothing to do with Sonny. It’s just my go-between, she couldn’t really do anything because Willow is so besotted with Michael, she won’t stand up to him or Carly.

Scott: Well, why would she? Her mother couldn’t even stand up to a snake-oil salesman.

Nina: Okay.

Scott: Shiloh.

Nina: Alright, you’re not making this easy for me, are you? So can we just — can we sit down?

Scott: W-why should I? I mean, I kept you out of prison, and you turn your nose up to my legal expertise. So if you want my help now… I-I’m gonna have to hear you say it.


Alexis: I assume this understanding comes at a price?

Brendan: I wouldn’t put it that way.

Alexis: Oh, well, then how would you put it?

Brendan: You couldn’t have risen from the ashes, shall we say, without help. Is it wrong of me to want the same thing?

Alexis: I don’t know. It depends on what you mean by “help.” Forgiveness? Friendship?

Brendan: My brother lost his life by getting involved with a self-destructive alcoholic.

Alexis: There it is. There it is. I was wondering how long you were gonna keep up the “Mr. Nice guy” act. There’s the door. Move toward it and don’t look back.

Brendan: My brother was never a rich man, and funerals are expensive. You can deny it all you want, but you contributed to Neil’s death. You need to make things right.

Alexis: I will never stop wondering what happened to Neil, how he became an addict and how that addiction took his life. And I will tell you, I’m not at all satisfied that that’s the truth. But I will not be browbeaten into paying for his brother’s mistakes. And there’s nothing you can say that’s gonna change my mind.

Brendan: Are you sure about that?


Alexis: You need to leave.

Brendan: I’m not leaving until I get what I want.

Harmony: Oh, Alexis, am I early?

Alexis: No, actually. You’re right on time. Brendan was just leaving.

Harmony: Hey, Harmony miller.

Brendan: Brendan Byrne, Neil’s brother. Harmony miller. Why do I know that name? Have we met before?

Harmony: No, no, I don’t think so. You might have seen me on TV in, uh, connection with an organization called Dawn of Day. I was pretty notorious back then.

Brendan: Well, that must be it.

Alexis: Harmony and I were just leaving, Brendan, so if you don’t mind…

Brendan: Of course. I’ll send you my contact information. If you see an opportunity you think I might be right for, just let me know. Ms. Miller.

Harmony: What was that all about?

Alexis: [ Sighs ] I don’t know, but it was scary.


Sonny: You don’t have to worry about me. I spent all those months in Nixon Falls. If I can survive that, I can survive anything.

Brick: But you weren’t alone.

Sonny: You talking about Nina?

Brick: Uh, yeah. She must be one hell of a lady to come between you and Carly.

Sonny: You still have something for my wife?

Brick: [ Chuckles ] Don’t you mean ex-wife? I just admire your taste. But you gave up Carly. I hope this new lady’s worth it.


Scott: Thank you.

Nina: Okay. You need to hear me say it. [ Clears throat ] [ Lowered voice ] I made a mistake.

Scott: What?

Nina: [ Normal voice ] I made a mistake, okay? Alright, I shouldn’t have pinned all my hopes on Willow’s compassion.

Scott: [ Sighs ]

Nina: Do you feel better?

Scott: You know, maybe you ought to hire Martin Grey. You know, that folksy, down-home charm, I-I-it works with a few judges.

Nina: I don’t need folksy, down-home charm. I need a fighter, a killer that’ll leave his opponents bloody on the field.

Scott: Ohh. That’s me. However, I’m a little busy right now with Trina Robinson.

Nina: Scott, I need your help, and I’m willing to put you on retainer immediately.

Scott: Before I take your money, I need to know that you’re gonna fight for Wiley. No matter what, you’re gonna fight. And if that means kicking Sonny to the curb, then you’re gonna do that.


Portia: What do you think?

Trina: It’s a great room. Thank you.

Portia: I made it up just like your old room. You probably want to get rid of all of those stuffed animals. You’ve probably outgrown them.

Trina: No. No, no, never. But, I mean, I’m still looking forward to returning to my dorms whenever this nightmare ends and I prove my innocence. Then this place will be yours.

Portia: This is your home, too. You hear me? And you don’t have to be brave. We’re all in this together.

Curtis: All of us.

Portia: Come here.


Josslyn: What part of “no way” do you not understand?

Cameron: Just give it up, man.

Ava: [ Scoffs ] A “journalist” like Mr. Smoltz won’t stop until you slam the door in his face — or, better yet, on his writing hand.

Smoltz: Excuse me, Ms. Jerome, haven’t you heard of the First Amendment?

Ava: Yeah, comes right before the Second.

Smoltz: Oh, that sounds like a threat.

Ava: I was hoping it would.

Cameron: Ms. Jerome, Joss and I, we can handle this.

Josslyn: We’re not interested in boosting your career.

Cameron: In other words, get lost.

Smoltz: Fine. Your loss. And your friend Trina’s.

[ Door slams ]

Josslyn: This wasn’t your fight.

Ava: Well, no, on the contrary. Avery would never forgive me if I didn’t stand up for her sister.

Cameron: That guy had one thing right. Trina’s in deep trouble until we can prove she’s innocent.

Josslyn: And Esme’s guilty.


Esme: I just got an alert on my phone. Trina pled not guilty.

Spencer: I hope she can prove it.

Esme: Even if she tries to accuse me instead? When I might be carrying your child?

Spencer: Let’s find out. Why haven’t you taken that home pregnancy test yet?

Esme: I’m scared, okay?

Spencer: I get it, Esme. But are you scared that you’re pregnant or that you’re not?


Harmony: I assume Brendan was here talking about his brother. Is that what caused all the tension when I walked in?

Alexis: That was really weird. He shows up all sympathetic, not at all like the guy that heaped all this abuse on me at Neil’s funeral.

Harmony: Has something changed?

Alexis: Yeah, he thought this “Mr. Nice guy” act would convince me to help bail him out of his troubles. And when I refused, he went from Jekyll to Hyde. He thinks I owe him for causing Neil’s relapse that caused his death.

Harmony: Well [Sighs] It was a good thing that I walked in when I did. Just stay away from Neil’s brother. The farther the better, Alexis.


Ava: Don’t lose any sleep over Esme. The truth will come out, and Trina will be vindicated.

Cameron: You sound confident.

Josslyn: Yeah, Esme has skated so far, Ava.

Ava: I have spoken to someone who has an interest in seeing that Esme is punished for targeting the two of you.

Cameron: And who’s that?

Ava: I know it’s difficult for you to trust me. This time, you’re gonna have to. Esme is gonna get what’s coming to her.


Esme: I want you with me when I take the test. But I don’t need a test to tell me what I really want.

Spencer: Which is?

Esme: You. I want to be with you. But do you want to be with me?

Spencer: Esme —

Esme: N-no, no. Don’t answer that now. Just ask yourself this. With or without the baby, does my being here work to your advantage?

Spencer: How?

Esme: By driving a wedge between your father and Ava. I mean, isn’t that what you wanted all along?


Sonny: I’m taking it day to day, my friend.

Brick: Hm.

Sonny: Uh, as far as me and Nina, I can’t read into the future. But I will say this. [ Sighs ] That the connection we had in Nixon Falls… …was real.

Brick: Sonny, I know you. When you want something, you go for it and you usually get it.

🎵 But peace, peace, peace / and loyalty is needed

Nina: Oh. [ Laughs ]

Brick: You’re thinking about her right now, aren’t you?

Sonny: Can we get back to the matter at hand?

Brick: Ah, the future. [ Sighs ] Without Jason. That’s something we can work on. But a future without love, with all due respect, my brother, that’s not for you.


Nina: Sonny knows that I am not gonna force him to pick sides.

Scott: Yeah, but, uh, Carly and Michael and Willow will. So if Sonny has to choose…

Nina: He’s gonna do what’s best for his family. And I’m going to do what’s best for mine.

Scott: Are you willing to lose lover boy?

Nina: I won’t lose him if he’s the man that I knew at Nixon Falls and the man that I see in Port Charles.

Scott: What makes you think that you can just have it all?

Nina: I’m gonna have my grandson in my life, Scott, and I’m going to have the man that changed my life for the better.

Scott: Well, I’m sorry, but nobody gets it all. Nobody.

Nina: There’s always a first.


Sonny: Let’s, um, regroup after Jason’s memorial service. In the meantime, are you willing to take on more managerial responsibilities?

Brick: I’ll head the search for the facilitator to take on some of Jason’s other skill sets. Don’t worry about that.

Sonny: Okay. I got one more job for you.

Brick: Yeah.

Sonny: I want you to find out how Esme prince engineered that video.

Brick: I’m on that. No problem.

Sonny: Alright, you want a drink to seal the deal? Sparkling water.

Brick: [ Chuckles ] And to think I thought I always admired you, Sonny.

Sonny: Not anymore?

Brick: More than ever.

[ Glasses clink ]


Scott: Michael is out to win, okay? And Diane Miller, she’s a tough cookie. She will dig up whatever she can.

Nina: I understand.

Scott: Okay, then is there anything I need to know before I file this petition?

Nina: No, I mean, don’t faint, but I think my life is pretty much an open book at this point.

Scott: Really? No little secrets in your diary, skeletons in the closet?

Nina: No. I mean, Wiley is the only thing left of my daughter in this world. And I owe it to Nelle to be in his life. Whether Michael or saint Willow like it or not.

Scott: Okay, then hang your hat with me. You won’t regret it.

Nina: I hope not.


Alexis: Anyway, you never did say what brought you by.

Harmony: Oh, it’s nothing important. It can wait. You know what? I’m gonna cook dinner for you tonight. I’m gonna make something soothing.

Alexis: Good. I can use something soothing. Having his brother here reminds me how horrible Neil’s death was. And I-I really can’t help wonder if that addiction is the thing that caused his death. Ah, shoot. I forgot my phone.


Brendan: I knew that name was familiar.


Trina: It’s one thing to plead not guilty, but now I have to live with that decision. That ADA is obviously out to get me. I couldn’t believe what she said — $250,000 bail.

Curtis: Um, well, honey, I do believe that she was just grandstanding. You know. Uh, the judge ignored her recommendation.

Trina: This time, but she thinks I’m guilty. And Scott said she’s out for blood. What if she convinces the jury that I am guilty?

Portia: That’s not going to happen. And instead of dwelling on it, why don’t you go on upstairs and take that nice long, hot bath that you were talking about earlier? It’ll make you feel better.

Trina: Okay. You talked me into it.

Portia: [ Chuckles ] Good. [ Voice breaking ] I don’t know how long I can keep this up. What if Trina’s right? We have no idea what’s gonna happen. I don’t know what I’m gonna do.

Curtis: Trina has a lot of people by her side, okay? And that daughter of yours, she has more courage than anyone I know.

Portia: And I don’t disagree with you. I-I-I do. I have faith in my daughter. Just not in the world.

Curtis: Baby…

Portia: [ Sniffles ]

Curtis: …As long as we have faith in each other, we can’t lose.


Cameron: Ready to go home?

Josslyn: Actually, I think I want to go back to the dorm. What?

Cameron: It’s just Trina isn’t the only one being brave.

Josslyn: Oh, I’m not being brave. I just want things to go back to normal, if that’s even possible.

Cameron: And I will try to help make that happen.

Josslyn: Thank you.

Cameron: Come on, let’s go.

Josslyn: Actually, can we go out the front?

Cameron: Are you sure?

Josslyn: Yeah. I mean, if I can face a bunch of people on campus, I can face a couple reporters outside. It’s hard to believe that Trina’s gonna come back here and fight for her innocence.

Cameron: It doesn’t matter what Ava says. This is going to be tough.

Josslyn: Yeah, which is why we need to help Trina. We — we need to help find a piece of evidence that Esme framed her.

Cameron: Okay, but how do we pull that off?

Josslyn: [ Sighs ] By proving that Esme can be in two places at once. Well, come on. [ Sighs ]


Ava: Nikolas, my sweet! Where are you?

Esme: He’s upstairs.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Female child (to Brook Lynn): How’s your baby?

Finn (to Elizabeth): I’m right here, by your side, no matter what happens.

Gregory (to Chase): So good to see you, son.

Brad (to Terry): And I was just hoping that … you might still believe in second chances.

Britt (to Selina): And why would I do that?

Ava (to Nikolas): What’s it gonna be?

Spencer (to Esme): It’s time to take that pregnancy test.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sheila: I tried, steffy. I really did.

Steffy: Let go of me.

Sheila: No. You let go of the idea that you have any say in this. You think I’m not welcome? You think I’m not going to have a place in my son’s life? My grandson’s? You think again.

Taylor: Thomas… I wish he’d ease up a bit.

Ridge: Honestly, I like the fact that our kids don’t hide their feelings.

Taylor: You do?

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: Hey, you know, they’re– they’re going to be fine, no matter what happens. You shouldn’t let any of that influence you. Their happiness doesn’t hinge on us being a couple.

Ridge: I like to pretend that it does.

Taylor: Oh, they’re just trying to heal the past. That’s all. I just– I wish thomas would focus on his future and maybe his own love life and stop focusing on ours.

Ridge: You mean like steffy.

[ Taylor chuckles ] Because she’s got the house and… husband, beautiful kids, and a lot of work here, but still finds time to meddle in our lives.

Taylor: I’m so proud of her.

Ridge: You’re proud of her for meddling?

[ Taylor chuckles ]

Taylor: No, for who she’s become. I mean, she has accomplished so much… not just here at forrester, but in her– in her life, in her– in her family. I was worried about her for a long time, ridge. She was stuck in that cycle with liam. The same one she watched growing up with me and you for so long. Still watching–

Ridge: Here we go.

Taylor: Well, it’s true. It sticks. She watched it as a little girl and then she got into it. The same thing with liam. I’m not worried about her anymore. She found finn.

Ridge: I– I couldn’t have found a better husband for her. You know, he’s perfect. Almost perfect, if it weren’t for his mother.

Finn: Come on, steffy, text me back. Il giardino? What are you doing there?

Nurse: Hey, finn, finally discharged the broken ankle. He swears he’ll never ski again.

Finn: Is– is dr. Becker still on?

Nurse: Yeah, scheduled all night.

Finn: Okay, just give him my apologies, but I need him to cover me for a while.

Nurse: What?

Finn: It’s important, okay? I’ll come back as soon as I can.

Taylor: Finn can’t choose where he came from. You know, sheila– sheila gave birth to him, she isn’t his mom, like li is.

Ridge: I know. Doesn’t make it any less disturbing that she likes to hang out and spend time with finn. And spend time with our grandson.

Taylor: I understand that. But if, you know, she truly changed,

Ridge: What do you– what do you– what? “If she truly changed,” you really believe that?

Taylor: You know, I– yes– no. But I’d like to. For finn’s sake.

Ridge: Okay, now it all makes sense. That’s why you invited her over for christmas eve. Well, no, I did that for finn, I just…

[ Sighs ] You know. I’m cautious any time we have interaction, my guard is always up. I can promise you that.

Ridge: All right. Because this– this reformed sheila, it’s not a real thing. She’s incapable of being a good person, she’s incapable of being a normal person. She’s as dangerous now as she’s always been.

Steffy: I– I don’t want to fight with you, sheila.

Sheila: No. Me neither, I– I don’t want anyone to get hurt. You know what I want? I want my son’s wife to accept me. To love me. Allow me in, please.

Steffy: Never!

Sheila: Steffy.

Steffy: No, you’re never going to be accepted. Never loved. Not by me. And certainly not by finn. Not anymore. Hi, my name is cherrie.

Ridge: You said you have these communications with sheila. How often does that happen?

Taylor: Well, that’s the thing, ridge, she’s– she just– she just shows up at my office, unannounced, and– and she wants to talk.

Ridge: She shows up at your office and she wants to talk. About what? What are you– she must have an ulterior motive. She must have something like that, right?

Taylor: See, that’s the thing. I don’t know, ridge. I– I know that she seems really happy about us, about the possibility of you and I getting back together.

Ridge: Stop. Wait, wait, wait. She seemed happy?

Taylor: No, she–

Ridge: Sheila doesn’t seem happy about anything because she’s a mean, nasty woman. She’s selfish.

Taylor: What could it be? Could– could sheila benefit from us being together for any reason? No, right? So what is it? So I’m thinking, and I was– maybe it’s because she shot me, and maybe she feels guilty and…. it’s absolving her guilt from–

Ridge: Why don’t you listen to anything I say? Why?

Taylor: What are you– I’m listening.

Ridge: She’s not- she’s not– she doesn’t feel guilt for anything. She likes causing pain. You know this. She thrives on it.

Taylor: She does, and she did. But she wants to change. And, you know, I’m a psychiatrist. It’s what I do. So I want to see people change. I believe that people can, ridge.

Ridge: I know.

Taylor: I mean, even sheila.

Ridge: You believe in a lot of things, don’t you? And you should. Maybe… unicorns and… gold at the end of the rainbow. I like it, but when you believe in sheila, you got to be very, very careful, you got to promise me that.

Taylor: I promise, ridge. But not around unicorns–

Ridge: Can we just be serious for a second?

Taylor: I am serious. Unicorns are harmless.

Ridge: It’s not a joke!

Taylor: I’m not trying to make a joke about it, ridge. I know that sheila is dangerous. I know better than anyone, okay? I know firsthand what she’s capable of. Not only that, but she’s finn’s birth mother. We share a grandson. I’m on high alert.

Finn: Il giardino? Why won’t you text me back?

Sheila: I’ve disappointed

you enough, son.

And I promise, you are never

going to hear anything

about me that would

let you down again.

Steffy: Brooke’s new year’s

eve, the booze, kissing deacon,

inviting deacon into

my father’s bed?

That was all set in

motion by your mother.

Finn: You’re evil, mom. You’re never going to change. Getting brooke drunk. You just better stay away from my wife.

Sheila: You know I can’t let you say anything–

Steffy: No, don’t you dare. Don’t you take one more step!

Sheila: You need to know what happened. What I did to brooke.

Steffy: Finn already knows.

Sheila: Then I’ll just explain it to him.

Steffy: You don’t have to explain it to him, you’re never going to see him again.

Sheila: We can keep this between us, just the few of us that know, we can put this behind us. Let your parents get back together again. If you feel like we need to say something later down the line, then fine. After taylor and ridge are married and brooke has moved on. We’ll just wait.

Steffy: No, I’m– I’m not letting my parents start a life together based on a lie.

Sheila: Would you stop being so high and mighty? Just think about what you’re going to be giving up. I did this for you… for your family. This is the best chance that you have.

Steffy: No, you’re a liar. You did this for yourself. You did this because brooke put her foot down about hayes being in your life.

Sheila: Well, that was just an added bonus. But what difference does it make? Because the outcome is the same. Ridge left brooke for your mother.

Steffy: And I’m supposed to be thanking you? You psychopath, you set this all in motion. You know who I should be thanking? Brooke. Who stood up to you!

Sheila: Whoa, whoa, whoa, now all of a sudden you’re team brooke?

Steffy: I’m on anyone’s team but yours. Anyone who’s willing to join me to get you away from finn and my son!

Sheila: The losing team. No one… is ever going to keep me away from finn and hayes. Not even you… steffy.

Why hide your skin if dupixent

Taylor: You know, I’m sure it bothers steffy on some level. Finn.. being a part of sheila, sheila being a part of hayes’ life.

Ridge: I’m not– you know, I know she thought about walking away from it. And nobody would have blamed her. But she didn’t, because she sees finn for who he is. You said before, he’s not just his dna, he’s a good guy.

Taylor: He really is a good guy. And I’m just so happy. Steffy– steffy’s so fulfilled, you know? With everything. I’m just– I’m so happy for her.

Ridge: So am I.

Taylor: You know what, I– I actually– I think it’s just going to get better and better. I can see it, ridge, I– I do. She has this great career. She has a great business partner. She has a– a loving family, her children are wonderful and– and she and finn, oh, they’re such a great team together. They really are. A doctor and a fashion designer? What a great match.

[ Laughs ]

Ridge: Okay.

Taylor: I’m just so happy. I mean, this is everything I’ve ever wanted for her, ridge. Everything.

Steffy: I feel bad for finn. He thought this was all a misunderstanding, that I was wrong about you. But once he hears what you’ve been saying… how you’ve been talking to me, he’s going to hate you as much as I do.

Sheila: Why? Why do you have to fight me? Why can’t you just accept me and care for me the way I want–

Steffy: I don’t want anything to do with you, sheila! Knowing that you’re thinking about me, my family, that is my worst nightmare. You– you’re– you’re sick. You’re unhinged. You shot my mother. Maybe she can forgive you, but I can’T. Now, you need to stay away from us. You should be behind bars.

Sheila: I served my time.

Steffy: It didn’t do you any good. You didn’t come out a better person. You just fell back into your old ways. You hurt people to get what you want. You hurt brooke to have access to finn and hayes. Access you’re never going to have.

Sheila: Because you say so?

Steffy: That’s right. Finn is my husband, hayes is my son, I’m in control.

Steffy: So know when to give up.

Sheila: Never.

Steffy: Everyone’s going to know what you did, sheila. Everyone’s going to know the truth.

Sheila: Oh, it’s not going to happen. Steffy, I can stop you.

Steffy: From going to my father? Not a chance.

Sheila: I will… if I have to. You know what it’s like, you’re a mother, you’d do the same. Finn means everything to me. I love him more than life itself. You’d do it. You do anything in your power to protect that relationship with your child.

Steffy: That’s what you don’t get, sheila. You don’t have a relationship. Not with finn. Not with hayes. You’re never gonna see them again.

[ Echoing ] You’ll never see

them again. Never.

You’ll never see them again.

Again.

Never again.

Never again.

Never again.

Never.

[ Gunshot ]

Sheila: No! No! When tough pain hits,

Ridge: You talked about steffy having a good business partner in me, but the truth is, she is ready to run this company on her own.

Taylor: Oh, come on, like– you and your dad will be roaming these halls ’til the day you die.

Ridge: Maybe even after. I mean, why not? My mom’s got the house covered. Maybe we should be haunting these– these little hallways here.

Taylor: Yeah, you’re good at ghosting. So…

Ridge: Oh, here we go again.

Taylor: What? My point is this. It’s time for steffy to take over. I know she can do it. It’s a nice feeling. She is one hell of a leader.

Taylor: Yeah, she’s– she’s one hell of a woman, isn’t she? She has the strongest spirit. She really does. She’s gone through so much and she– she always rises to the top. Never fails. I am– I am just so proud of her and for the life that she’s creating. Our girl, our girl, her future is so bright.

Ridge: I can’t wait to see what she does next.

Steffy: Finn! Finn! Oh, my god! Oh my god! There’s so much blood! Finn! Oh my god!

Sheila: God, what’ve I done?

Steffy: Finn, talk to me, please talk to me.

Sheila: I didn’t see him. I didn’t know he was here.

Steffy: God, finn, can you hear me, please? Please, finn! Finn! Finn, ple– please, breathe, baby, breathe. Breathe. Oh, god, please, please, breath.

[ Finn gasping ] Oh! Oh! Oh, oh, baby. Oh, my god. Finn! Finn! I’m gonna get you help, okay?

Finn: What– what happened?

Steffy: I’m gonna get you help.

[ Finn mumbles ]

Steffy: Oh, god, oh, god. You need to call for help, sheila! You need to call now!

Finn: Stay here with me. Just be– stay here with me.

Steffy: Hang in there, okay? Hang in there. We got you. We got you, okay? I got you.

Finn: I love you.

Steffy: Baby, I love you. You’re gonna get through this. Okay? You’re gonna get through this. So blessed to have… to have you… and make sure… make sure hayes…

[ Breathless mumbling ] Our life is… I love– I love you, steffy. I’ll always, always-

Steffy: I love you.

Finn: I’m gonna love you for–

Steffy: No, no, no! No, finn! No! No, no, no, no, no, finn! No, no, finn, no, no. I need you. I need you. Hayes needs you, he needs his daddy! No! No!

[ Steffy sobbing ]

Sheila: Finn, baby!

Steffy: Your only son.

Sheila: I didn’t know– I didn’t know he was here.

Steffy: You were going to kill me. You’re a monster! You’re going to prison for the rest of life.

Sheila: You put your phone down.

[ Key tapping ] Put the phone down! Don’t do it, steffy. Don’t you dare!

[ Steffy sobbing ] Because this is my secret.

Michael: That’s the advantage of this, considering the fact that i haven’t had a decent meal in weeks.

Lauren: Oh, the lobster enchiladas look good. Why don’t we start with those and a bottle of Society’s best wine and work our way through the menu.

Victor:  That’s a wonderful idea.

Michael: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: Let’s go for it. Be my guest.

Lauren: And all the wine in the world is not gonna erase the fact that Michael’s life was in danger and you, my friend, weren’t honest with me.

Victor: Now, your continued loyalty will be very well rewarded, okay?

Lauren: Unh-unh — continued?

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

Billy: Are you worried that you’re with a man that can’t keep a secret?

Lily: You can keep a secret.

Billy: Yeah, well, I’m having a really hard time with this one.

Lily: Okay, then tell me.

Billy: This really needs to stay between us for now.

Lily: Okay. [ Chuckles ] What’s up?

Billy: You know we always thought Ashland Locke was a back-stabbing piece of trash?

Lily: Yeah.

Billy: Well, it turns out he’s worse than that.

Lily: How is that possible? I mean, he stood by while his best friend died and lived under his name for decades and stole an inheritance and lied and cheated his way through most business deals.

Billy: And do you remember how he had cancer and went to Peru for a miracle treatment?

Lily: Yeah.

Billy: He lied about it all.

Lily: Which part?

Billy: All of it. He never had cancer. Didn’t go get a cure. He was never sick in the first place.

Lily: Wait, are you saying that he pretended that he had cancer?

Lauren: Well, honey, you look exhausted. Let’s get you home. Let’s get you fed, showered, and some rest, okay?

Michael: That all sounds wonderful.

Kevin: As someone who sat next to him on the plane, I can vouch for his need of a shower.

Ashland: Did you find your endives?

Abby: I did, yeah, right underneath the radicchio.

[ Chuckles ]

Ashland: The radicchio — that’s always the last place you look, isn’t it?

Abby: Always.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: So how is everything else with you? I mean, with your, um…

Ashland: You’re asking about my health.

Abby: Yes, I am, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to pry.

Ashland: No, it’s fine. It’s fine. I’m as healthy as can be.

Abby: Wow.

Ashland: Mm-hmm.

Abby: That’s amazing. That’s miraculous, even.

Ashland: Yes. And how’s your little miracle, um, Dominique?

Abby: Dominic.

Ashland: Yes, Dominic. He must be getting bigger every day.

Abby: He is. He is so cute. Oh, my gosh, I have to show you this picture.

Ashland: Please do.

Abby: You’re gonna love it.

Ashland: I can hardly wait.

Abby: Look at it — wait, here it is.

Ashland: Okay, take your time.

SORRY, THE ENDING IS MISSING; WE’LL HAVE TO PUT IT UP NEXT WEEK

Victor: No, thank you, I know this menu by heart. Thank you. So this is my treat. It’s the least I can do for the hardships you must have endured in that peruvian prison.

Lauren: The very least.

Michael: I intend on taking full advantage of this, considering the fact that i haven’t had a decent meal in weeks.

Lauren: Oh, the lobster enchiladas look good. Why don’t we start with those and a bottle of society’s best wine and work our way through the menu.

Victor: That’s a wonderful idea.

Michael: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: Let’s go for it. Be my guest.

Lauren: And all the wine in the world is not gonna erase the fact that michael’s life was in danger and you, my friend, weren’t honest with me.

Victor: Now, your continued loyalty will be very well rewarded, okay?

Lauren: Unh-unh — continued?

[ Chuckles ] No. No, no, no. Good luck finding his replacement.

Michael: Victor didn’t have me locked up. That was ashland. He’s giving me a very personal reason to bring him down. I’m not walking away from this fight. Not now.

Lily: Two coffees, please. Thank you.

Billy: Hey.

Lily: Hey.

Billy: Are you worried that you’re with a man that can’t keep a secret?

Lily: You can keep a secret.

Billy: Yeah, well, I’m having a really hard time with this one.

Lily: Okay, then tell me.

Billy: This really needs to stay between us for now.

Lily: Okay. [ Chuckles ] What’s up?

Billy: You know we always thought ashland locke was a back-stabbing piece of trash?

Lily: Yeah.

Billy: Well, it turns out he’s worse than that.

Lily: How is that possible? I mean, he stood by while his best friend died and lived under his name for decades and stole an inheritance and lied and cheated his way through most business deals.

Billy: And do you remember how he had cancer and went to peru for a miracle treatment?

Lily: Yeah.

Billy: He lied about it all.

Lily: Which part?

Billy: All of it. He never had cancer. Didn’t go get a cure. He was never sick in the first place.

Lily: Wait, are you saying that he pretended that he had cancer?

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: I will be ready to go to tuscany as soon as I tie up a few loose ends.

Ashland: Yeah, you do realize that there’s nothing you can’t do from cruising altitude, right?

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Yes, but it won’t take me long.

Ashland: Well, how can i help?

Victoria: You know how you could help? You could run home and you could throw a few of our things in a bag and make sure that everything’s locked up tight, and maybe you could stop off and get us some food for the flight. You wouldn’t mind running by society, would you?

Ashland: Why do I get the feeling you’re trying to get rid of me?

Victoria: [ Laughs ] No, not at all.

Ashland: Well, then there must be something I can do around here to lighten the load.

Victoria: I have everything under control. I’ll be ready before you know it.

Ashland: Music to my ears. You know what else I love the sound of?

Victoria: What?

Ashland: You telling me that you love me and that we’re okay.

Sally: Okay. Tell me where the fire is, and we will put it out together. What is the latest in the sordid tale of princess victoria and the big, bad wolf?

Adam: I would not know. My father hasn’t said anything to me since victoria’s ill-fated intervention. My family only wants me around when I can be useful, and when they have decided they don’t need me anymore, I’m left out in the cold.

Sally: Or maybe there’s just nothing new to report.

Adam: Mm, possibly. But I am naturally suspicious when it comes to the newmans, especially my dad. You’ll pick up on all the subtleties as you spend more time with us.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Hate to break it to you, but there is nothing subtle about you and your dad’s unique dynamic.

Lily: God, why would ashland make up such a horrible story?

Billy: Because he assumed correctly that if he told everyone he was dying from cancer, he would seem harmless and vulnerable. Not the kind of guy that was about to steal his new wife’s corporation.

Lily: So he was just lying about everything — the doctor appointments, the chemo side effects.

Billy: All of it.

Lily: My god, it’s — what an insult to anyone who has had cancer or loves someone who’s survived it.

Billy: Yeah. He’s a bad man.

Lily: I can’t even imagine how victoria must be feeling.

Billy: Well, that’s the thing, neither can I.

Lily: What do you mean?

Billy: [ Sighs ] When she was telling me about ashland, she was very hurt and furious, and I thought the next time that they were face-to-face she was gonna rip him to shreds.

Lily: Well, what changed your mind?

Billy: When they did have that conversation, there was no fighting, nothing. It ended in hugs and kisses. He has a way of getting to her. Maybe I can get answers from them.

Nikki: Oh.

Billy: Is there any word from victoria?

Lily: Billy told me what’s going on.

Nikki: I assumed that he would. I know you understand.

Lily: Don’t worry, I won’t say a word, although I do have some choice ones for locke.

Billy: Look, I don’t want to butt in, I just want to hear that victoria’s doing the right thing and she told ashland exactly how she feels about him. Do not tell me that she is forgiving that son of a bitch.

Jack: Who the hell are you?

Taylor: You know me, jack. You know exactly who I am.

Jack: Were you part of this?

Allie: I don’t even know what

this is. Wait, I don’t understand — you guys know each other? Taylor, is this why you bought my —

Jack: Her name isn’t taylor. Her name is diane jenkins, and she shouldn’t be here. That woman died. That woman was buried. And believe it or not, she was mourned.

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Taylor: It’s good to see you again, jack. I’ve…I’ve imagined this moment for a very long time.

Allie: You — what do you mean, jack, she was dead?

Taylor: And it was true in a way. A huge part of me died in genoa city. I was so lost and so desperate, and all this anger and hatred directed towards me.

Jack: And you had nothing to do with that. You were just an innocent bystander, right?

Taylor: It was the darkest time in my life, and, yes, it was my doing. I just had this vision of escaping, of starting over, only none of it went as I planned, and it — it took me a very long time to come to terms with how i failed.

Jack: You left nothing but destruction behind. Anger. And upset. All you could think about was yourself.

Taylor: No, that’s not true. If you knew how much I thought about you and kyle —

Allie: No, stop, stop it. I don’t know what you dragged me into — fake names and deaths.

Jack: Allie, allie, look at me. Look at me. Forget you ever met this woman. Wipe her out of your mind. She is nothing but vengeful and vicious, and her fight is with me.

Taylor: Jack, I didn’t bring you here for a fight. I did all this so I could explain, so I could — so i could show you how sorry I am for all the pain I caused.

Allie: No, you lied to me. You came into my father’s house with a fake name, acting — acting like some guardian angel, trying to give me advice. My father died, and you waited to exploit him and me?

Jack: It’s all she knows. It’s who she is to her core. Everything she does is for her benefit. There is no forgiveness, diane. There is no understanding, and if you thought otherwise, that was your mistake.

Lauren: I’m sorry, michael, but did or did you not just finish telling me how dangerous locke was and that he’s capable of anything? And based on everything that you’ve said, he’s still a threat to us.

Victor: No, I promise both of you that neither one of you will be in danger, okay?

Lauren: Well, no offense, but your protection did not keep michael safe in peru or bring him home. He had to rescue himself.

Victor: Lauren, I’m very sorry my team didn’t get to him first, but they were awfully close.

Michael: As prisons go, I’ve been in worse, so…

Lauren: [ Chuckles ] So not amused.

Michael: Yeah, I could tell because that’s — that’s her “that’s not funny” face.

Lauren: Yeah, this — this comes with a side of “don’t even think about going in for a second serving of locke.”

Victor: I want to rest assured that michael’s next assignment will not require him to leave this zip code.

Michael: Totally local?

Victor: Yeah, right here in genoa city.

Michael: Okay. What is it?

Victor: I need you to take a close look at the locke/newman enterprises merger contract. I want you to find any loophole, any clause that allows us to kick that bastard to the curb.

Michael: Alright, but before I start, I need to know something. Where do things stand between victoria and her husband?

Victoria: We’re fine.

[ Sighs ] We’re fantastic, even. But we might not be if we don’t get on that jet.

Ashland: Not the most enthusiastic response, but I’ll take it.

Victoria: Let’s make a pact. I believe you and you believe me.

Ashland: You know I do.

Victoria: Then trust me when I say this is all gonna work out.

Ashland: Okay. I think italy is gonna be great for us, and I cannot wait to get you there alone all to myself. And who knows? Maybe we’ll just never come back.

[ Exhales sharply ] If you have advanced non-small cell lung cancer,

Nick: I wish I could tell everybody what they want to hear, but victoria’s being very tight-lipped about what she’s gonna do about ashland.

Nikki: We do know she’s determined to do it on her own.

Billy: Well, I really hope this plan is legit because, from what we saw, it was not the messy break-up I was expecting.

Nikki: I think victoria needs to take some time to come to terms with who ashland really is.

Nick: We don’t have time for that. We have to get this guy out of her life immediately.

Billy: I agree with nick. She may not be thinking logically.

Lily: Victoria makes tough decisions every day. I think she can handle this.

Nikki: Lily’s right. This is victoria’s problem to solve. She doesn’t need any of us hovering around her. It’s in her hands now.

Adam: My dynamics with my father lack subtlety? Ouch.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Okay, let’s just put that aside for a second. Focus less on the parent and more on the parent company.

Adam: Um…that is all I’ve been able to think about ever since we last discussed this. There is going to be consequences for newman/locke, given what ashland did. Especially if victoria stands by him.

Sally: Well, no one could’ve seen this coming, at least not so soon after the marriage the merger. It leaves the whole company on shaky ground. But do you know what this calls for?

Adam: A strong leader, because there’s definitely gonna be a change at the top.

Sally: And it could be you if you play your cards right.

Adam: And if that happens, you will be right there with me.

Sally: Good. ‘Cause I like it here.

Adam: Well, you’re creative. Always think five steps ahead.

Sally: Well, if we’re gonna pull this off, we have to be proactive.

Adam: You mean buck the family tradition of letting victoria spiral out of control and drag the company down with her?

Sally: Even if you don’t know what’s going on in the inner sanctum, that shouldn’t stop you from making moves.

Adam: Well, nothing can. And no one will. Okay? I’m beginning to see this whole thing very clearly.

Sally: Hmm. Well, what will you do first?

Adam: Reach out to my father, because if I want to be in the loop, I need to put myself there. And I need to make plan of my own.

Sally: Well, I already know that it’s going to be incredible.

Taylor: I was that person. I did those things, all of those mistakes, but that is not who i am now.

Jack: Those weren’t mistakes. You know damn well everything you did you did on purpose. I can’t believe you can stand there and try to explain yourself.

Taylor: I know it’s a lot to take in, jack.

Jack: All you left behind was damage. At least when you were dead, i knew you couldn’t hurt anyone ever again.

Taylor: [ Scoffs ]

Jack: Now you’re back, and, what, you’re dragging my granddaughter into this?

Taylor: I reached out to allie for you. I made this possible. Jack, I gave you back a piece of your heart, a piece of keemo.

Allie: Oh, my god. It’s like I’m not even here. You got what you wanted, which was to hand me over like some sort of prize.

Taylor: No, a gift. A gift for both of you.

Allie: He’s right. You are evil. I don’t know you, and I don’t want any part of this.

Jack: Wait, wait, allie.

Taylor: Allie, please. Please, please. I’m sorry I deceived you. But jack is such a good man. Please don’t take this out on him. Please don’t lose what you just found. P–

[ Exhales sharply ]

Jack: You are and have always been poison. Why give your family just any eggs

Nikki: Alright, I have to run. Please contact me if you hear anything.

Nick: You have my word.

Nikki: Thanks. Good to see you, lily.

Lily: You too.

Nikki: Billy.

Nick: So what are you thinking?

Billy: You want the legal thoughts or the illegal thoughts?

Lily: He’s — he’s kidding. There’s nothing illegal.

Billy: How the hell do we stop ashland? How do we stop victoria from going back to him?

Nick: Listen, billy, nobody in our family has been able to get victoria to see reason. So, against my better judgment, I think our best plan of attack here is to turn to you.

Billy: Me? Why?

Nick: I hate admitting it, but I think you’re the best person to try and get through to her. So would you consider having a conversation with her?

Billy: Your father would love that, huh? Billy boy abbott the screw-up saving the day.

Nick: You can gloat all you want once victoria is safe. I only care about her safety, so if you do this favor for me, i promise you I will never, ever forget it.

Victor: By the way, victoria is fully aware of everything that ashland locke has done.

Lauren: Oh, then where are the sirens and the helicopters? Because if he had tried that with me…

Victor: She claims she has a plan of her own to deal with him.

Lauren: You sound skeptical.

Victor: For good reason. She didn’t explain to us what her plan was. She asked us to just trust her.

Michael: Sounds like you’re not quite ready to do that.

Victor: What you’ve got to know is that, tragically and sadly, my daughter is very much in love with that bastard, okay? He has a strong hold on her.

Lauren: Then you’re not going to leave it entirely in victoria’s hands, right?

Victor: No. Ashland locke needs to be dealt with swiftly and severely.

Michael: It’s the only way.

Lauren: [ Sighs ] Looks like we’re gonna need another bottle of wine.

Jack: Thank you for agreeing to meet me. If you wanted to cut me completely out of your life, i wouldn’t blame you. Listen. Diane was aiming for me, and you got caught in the crossfire.

Allie: You know that I had no idea, right? I didn’t know who she was or — or what she wanted. I mean, taylor — diane was just this nice woman who — who bought my father’s house and then gave me advice.

[ Scoffs ] She seemed kind and understanding. I have never thought of myself as dumb or —

Jack: Wait, wait, wait, don’t let her undermine your self-confidence. She has conned older and supposedly wiser people than you.

Allie: What did you both mean you thought she was dead?

Jack: Actually dead. Complete with memorial service, with her young son grieving in the front pew. Where people who knew who and what diane was tried, for his sake, to find something kind to say about a woman they knew was pure destruction.

Allie: [ Sighs ] That’s awful. To turn your back on your son and then just — just walk away. How do you even know this woman?

Jack: The child she walked away from was our son. What’s the #1 retinol brand

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Allie: That woman is your wife?

Jack: Diane and I were never married. When I say it’s complicated, you have no idea, but kyle was — kyle is one of the greatest gifts of my life, and to see him struggle, to see him in pain, to see him grieving with confusion…

Allie: When did this happen?

Jack: He was just a kid. He’s a man now. He’s a husband, a father, but a wound like that —

Allie: I bet it never goes away.

Jack: No, it never goes away.

Allie: All these years, he thought she was dead.

Jack: Not just dead, murdered in gruesome fashion. All of her lies exposed, people kyle cared about implicated, and it was all a lie. And I defended her. How many times did I tell him, “your mother loved you more than anything”? What kind of mother lets her child suffer like that?

Michael: Oh, andy, more wine.

Lauren: Are you trying to get me drunk?

Michael: The thought has crossed my mind.

Lauren: [ Chuckles ] Well, victor certainly knows how to spoil someone after inflicting untold damage, pain, and worry. It doesn’t matter how many bottles of wine we have, I am not gonna change my mind about you working for him.

Michael: What if I tried one of my tried-and-true methods of convincing you to make a 180 by sweeping you off your feet and dancing with you until you feel better about me staying on?

Lauren: No, no, no, no, you are not gonna litigate your way through this. You have no idea how hard that was for me. Not being able to talk to you, to not know if you were okay.

Michael: I’m so sorry.

Lauren: You’re gonna spend the rest of your life making that up to me.

Michael: Absolutely. And I’m fine. I’m home safe.

Lauren: Yes, and I want you to stay that way. Do you remember why you decided to leave the da’s office? Because you wanted to enjoy the fruits of your labor. You wanted to spend more time together.

Michael: I intend to make up for every moment we have been kept apart. I will be so annoyingly attentive that you will be begging, you will be begging for a restraining order.

Lauren: That is impossible.

[ Chuckles ]

Michael: A challenge — i like that. But for now…I need to see this through.

Lauren: For victor.

Michael: For me. Ashland locke is the person who kept us apart. Ashland locke is the person who made you worry, and it’s time someone held him accountable.

Lauren: But why does it have to be you?

Michael: When I was locked away and wasn’t sure how things would turn out, I thought of three things — coming home to my gorgeous wife, celebrating with my family, and seeing to it that locke reaps everything he’s sown.

Billy: I am as worried about victoria as you are, but I’m not the right guy. I talked to her about ashland already. You were standing right there. She walked away from both of us.

Nick: But before that, when you two were alone, you said that she had opened up to you, that she talked about ashland and what he had done to her and how hurt she was.

Billy: Yeah, and I just don’t think that there’s anything else that I can say to push her in the right direction.

Nick: Billy, the fact that she confided in you is very significant. She hasn’t shared her anger about locke to anyone in the family. She showed a lot of faith in you. She might be more open to what you have to say to her.

Lily: I think nikki was right when she said to let victoria take the lead. I mean, this is her fight.

Nick: I get your concerns, lily, but time is of the essence here. And I still think you are our best shot. So what do you say? Will you talk to victoria, just one last time?

Adam: I have a vision for newman/locke that I think will surprise all my detractors. Dad.

Victor: I want to bring you up to date about what’s going on, okay?& I’m sure your coo wouldn’t mind giving us some privacy.

Adam: Oh, that actually won’t be necessary. I’ve told her everything.

Victor: Son, this is none of her business. It’s about family.

Adam: Well, it’s about both, actually.& Victoria’s choice in men affects newman media.

Victor: Alright, you can stay.

Adam: So what is the latest?

Victor: Well, victoria claims she knows how to handle things and she has a plan.

Adam: Has she told you what this mysterious plan is?

Victor: No, not exactly.

Adam: I mean, you don’t believe her, do you? I mean, I didn’t realize that billy was pretending to be a lush, and she wanted me fired. Now she’s gonna put the whole future of the company at risk, and what are we supposed to do, just sit by and let her bury us deeper?

Victor: This company is as important to her as it is to all of us.

Adam: I suspect that she will try to protect her public image, maybe even her marriage. She’ll think about how she’ll be perceived, how the company will be perceived if the news ever got out. But we have to look out for our reputation. Now, given everything you stand to lose, do you really think you can trust victoria to do what’s right for newman?

Victor: I will handle things. Okay?

Adam: How?

Victor: I wish you would stop vilifying your sister. She’s the victim in this.

Adam: She was warned more times than one. She knew who locke was. Even before she let him sign the contract to be co-ceo, there were warning signs and she ignored them. And now she needs to be stopped.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Victor: I will take care of things, okay? It’s your sister. Yes, honey.

Victoria: I’m glad I reached you. I’d like you to meet me in my office. And bring adam.

Victor: Alright. We’ll be over there. Your sister wants to see us. Let’s go.

It’s the most wonderful

time of the year,

Jack: I am so sorry you were dragged into all this.

Allie: I don’t understand what she thinks will happen. She pretended to die. That was her choice. And then she abandoned her son and let people think she was murdered. And of all the times she could’ve come back, she chooses now?

Jack: I guess she thought she could manipulate her way into forgiveness. I don’t — I don’t know. I do know this. Anyone in genoa city who knew her…will never forgive. They will never forget.

Nate: You’re the last person I expected to see around here. I assumed you’d leave town.

Ashland: Why would I do that? I have no reason to flee. I have been dealing with baseless rumors my entire life.

Nate: Baseless rumors. Are you still trying to convince me that’s all this is? You’re the poor, misunderstood victim of your powerful enemies.

Ashland: Yeah.

Nate: For god’s sake, give it up.

Billy: You don’t have to tell me, I know that you don’t think it’s a good idea that I talk to victoria about ashland.

Lily: No, I hate it.

Billy: What do you think could happen?

Lily: Um, I don’t know, ashland adds you to his growing list of enemies.

Billy: Well, he’s despised me for a long time, and I’m still standing.

Lily: Why don’t you let someone else fight this battle?

Billy: Look, lily, first of all, I’m not gonna let anything happen to you. But ashland is more dangerous than we even thought, and the stakes are even higher. And I don’t want him anywhere near johnny or katie. So I think it’s the right thing to do. I’ve got to try one more time to get through to victoria.

Lily: Okay.

Billy: Hey. I’ll fix this before you know it. Thank you. I love you.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: Happy to see the gang’s all here. Hopefully that means there’s some good news to share.

Nikki: Nicholas and I haven’t heard a word yet.

Nick: Vick wouldn’t tell us what’s going on until you arrived.

Victoria: Because I only want to say this once, and once I’ve given you my decision, I hope that you’ll abide by it and respect it.

Adam: Oh, this can’t be good.

Victoria: Ashland is leaving for tuscany tonight, and I’ll be joining him.

Nikki: What? You have got to be kidding.

Nick: You can’t be serious.

Victoria: I told him that we need to distance ourselves from the barrage of attacks that are consistently coming from my family.

Victor: So you do have a plan? Why don’t you tell us what it is? Because the fate of this company and the family depends on your next move. For copd,

Ashland: You know what, nate? Believe what you want.

[ Sighs ] There is obviously nothing I can say or do to convince you of the truth.

Nate: I know the facts. I’ve seen the evidence. Do you really think you can make this all go away by pretending none of it’s real?

Ashland: I am truly sorry that I’ve lost your trust and your friendship.

Nate: Do you really mean that?

Ashland: Yes, I do.

Nate: Well, if our friendship really meant something to you, then take this last bit of advice from someone who defended you, who enjoyed your company. Stop lying. Tell victoria the truth. Don’t let her live with this conflict and suspicion she must have. For once in your life, do the right thing.

Victoria: Is that a request, dad, or a demand?

Victor: How about both?

Nick: Why are you still shutting us out?

Victoria: I’m just simply trying to handle things my own way.

Sam: [ Sigh ]

Carly: Thanks for dragging me here.

Sam: Oh, well, at least it wasn’t kicking and screaming.

Carly: Almost. But I really needed to come, you know, so I could just clear my mind.

Sam: Good.

Carly: So.

Sam: Hopefully you can have some serenity in here.

Carly: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, hope so. Well, so much for that.


Esme: I keep playing it over and over in my head. If you and Victor hadn’t shown up when you did, who knows what Sonny would have done to me.

Spencer: I still can’t believe that my uncle had you kidnapped.

Esme: Really? Because here I was betting you thought I deserved it.


Scott: So, here’s what happens today. You enter your plea. The ADA will recommend bail. Of course, I will argue against that as to why you should be free. Then the judge will decide whether or not there is bail and how much.

Trina: And my plea is “not guilty.”

Scott: Bingo.

Portia: Sounds easy enough, right?

Curtis: You’ll be out of here before you know it.


Female Reporter: Well.

Alexis: Well, we’re trending. I mean, I knew this would do well locally, but the wires picked it up and it has gone national. I mean, it’s huge.

Female reporter: [ Chuckles ]


Josslyn: Did you see the article?

Cameron: It’s hard not to. I feel like it’s everywhere.

Josslyn: Yeah. That’s probably ‘cause it is. How do you feel about that?


Willow: We just do not want this to escalate.

Michael: Uh, yeah, for a lot of reasons. The main one being that my family had enough to deal with right now. Their focus should be on Josslyn. But I know we’re just worried that the charges could hurt us if Nina petitions for visitation.

Diane: Oh, they can. And they will.


Nina: [ Sighs ]

Maxie: Do you want to take a different class?

Nina: No.

Maxie: Are you sure?

Nina: I won’t be scared off, Maxie. Not by Carly or anyone else. Come on.

Maxie: Okay.

Carly: I hate that I run into Nina everywhere I go. It’s like that game at the carnival when you whack the mole and it pops up in another hole.

Sam: Okay, Okay. Look, we can leave if you want–

Carly: Oh, hell, no. I’m not leaving. I’m staying right here.

Sam: Really?

Carly: I’m not gonna let that bitch run me out of here.


Spencer: Of course I don’t think that you deserve to be kidnapped.

Esme: I don’t know. Your track record of siding with other people lately over me lately is pretty strong.

Spencer: I love my Uncle Sonny, but do I always condone his actions? No.

Esme: [ Sighing ] He was so angry, and…threatening.

Nikolas: Well, considering he believes you took that video of Josslyn and Cameron, I’m not surprised.

Esme: What else has to happen for people to believe it wasn’t me? The police made an arrest.

Nikolas: Have you heard the latest?

Spencer: I went to see Trina at the PCPD.

Esme: [ Scoffs ] Of course you did. So while I was being hauled off by some goon to face the wrath of your beloved uncle, you were professing your undying devotion to Trina?

Spencer: Actually, that’s not what—

Esme: No, no, no. That’s just great, Spence. I hope you two are very happy tog–

Spencer: Esme.

Esme: What?!

Spencer: If you’d let me get a word in, you’d know I told Trina that I believe you.


Molly: Curtis. Hi.

Curtis: Molly. Hey. I, um—I was wondering if you were gonna be the ADA on this case.

Molly: Well, I’m–I’m working under ADA Arden, but yes.

Curtis: Mm.

Molly: I hope this isn’t too awkward, me prosecuting Portia’s daughter.

Curtis: No, you, uh – you’re doing your job. I get it.

Molly: Between you and me, I was surprised when I found out Trina was the defendant. She seems like such a good person.

Curtis: She is. That’s why I have faith that justice will prevail. I’m gonna get back in there. Good seeing you.

Molly: Yeah, of course. You too.

Curtis: Alright.

Molly: [ Sighs ]

Scott: So, I, uh, heard that there’s a possible plea deal coming. I spoke to my man in the DA’s office, but nothing’s been decided yet. Oh, damn.

ADA Arden: Mr. Baldwin.

Scott: Mr. Arden. Uh, what’s going on? I though Ms. Lansing-Davis was prosecuting this case.

ADA Arden: Yes, I’m sure you were counting on that. Molly is second chair on this trial. I’ll be prosecuting. Unless your client chooses to take the deal I’m about to offer.

[ Dramatic music ]


Nina: Hey! Why do you keep staring at them?

Maxie: Do you feel it? You could cut the tension in here with a knife. I’m very thankful we don’t have any of those, by the way, because the last thing we need right now are weapons.

Nina: Would you please try and relax?

Maxie: Well, that’s the idea. But this is beyond cringey.

Nina: For who?

Maxie: Me.

Nina: Oh, I am so sorry, Maxie. I’ve often thought about how difficult this is for you.

Maxie: Point taken. Okay. Change of topic.

Nina: Please.

Maxie: How is visitation going with Wiley? I’ve been so busy with the Deception IPO that I think I’ve lost track of what’s going on.

Nina: Well, my goal is to avoid involving the courts.

Maxie: Oh, so Michael and Willow are letting you visit with Wiley?

Nina: Not quite, but I may have found someone who can change that.


Alexis: Hi.

Harmony: HI. I hope you don’t mind that I just dropped by. Things felt a little unsettled this morning.

Alexis: Yeah, when you forgot to tell me that you had already been in my house indoctrinating my daughter.

Harmony: Yeah. Alexis, I’m so sorry for what I did to Kristina and—and for not telling you. Especially after you’ve been so kind to let me into your home. So, uh…if you want me to leave…

Alexis: I understand that your past has been problematic. But in the present, you need to be forthright from now on, okay?

Harmony: Okay.

Alexis: Because that way, it’s fine. You can stay in the house until you find someplace that’s right for you.

Harmony: I hope it won’t take that long. And as soon as I save up for a deposit, I’m gonna be out of your hair, I promise. Thank you.

Alexis: It’s a good thing I’m feeling generous today.

Harmony: [ Sighs ] I take it the article was a success?

Alexis: Actually, it was. I think I might be finding my groove back in my second act. I haven’t felt this good since before I fell off the wagon.

Harmony: I’m just so happy that, you know, it seems like your troubles are a thing of the past. Finally.

Alexis: And why do I have the feeling that yours aren’t?


Michael: I was defending my sister. Right? Do you really think a judge is gonna hold that against me?

Diane: Depends on the judge. But worrying about it at this juncture is premature. Nina has yet to file a petition for visitation.

Michael: I just – I want to be prepared in case she does.

Diane: Okay. Um…Nina’s counsel could use the assault charge to argue that Nina will provide a more stabilizing influence for Wiley.

Michael: What?

Diane: Considering that you are prone to punching reporters and defense attorneys.

Willow: Scott never pressed charges for that.

Michael: Right, and look, we – we have piles of evidence that proves that Nina is – is anything but stable.

Diane: Okay. Could also use it to impugn your character – casting Nina in an even more sympathetic light.

Michael: My character?

Diane: Mm-hmm.

Michael: Okay, Nina let everybody believe that my father was dead. What – What rational person would have sympathy for her after that?

Diane: Michael, Willow. This is all moot.

Willow: It is?

Diane: Mm-hmm. Because I have a plan to make it all go away.


Carly: [ Sighs ] It’s not working. Every time I close my eyes, I see Josslyn’s face.

Sam: You know, after you showed me that article, I reread it. And I am super impressed with Joss and Cam’s bravery.

Carly: Right? Me too. Yeah. And a lot of credit goes to your mom. Yeah, I mean, that article really struck a chord with people. It’s trending everywhere.

Sam: Is that a good thing?

Carly: Yes and no. I mean, it’s great because it’s telling Joss and Cam’s side of the story, but…

Sam: But so many people are reading Joss and Cam’s side of the story.

Carly: Yeah. I mean, it’s just shining a bigger spotlight on Josslyn and Cam, so when are they gonna be able to get back to their normal lives?

Sam: Have you talked to Joss about it?

Carly: She was asleep when I left for work this morning, but she texted me and she sounds great. She sounds strong.

Sam: Wow. Like mother, like daughter.

Carly: [ Chuckles ]

Sam: She’s gonna be okay, Carly.

Carly: She is.


Cameron: Is it just me, or does it feel like we’re living under a microscope?

Josslyn: Oh, it’s not just you. My phone’s been blowing up.

Cameron: Reporters asking for follow-up statements?

Josslyn: Oh, yeah. And I think I’ve decided to never leave the house again. Not until this whole thing dies down.

Cameron: I could say “I told you so”…

Josslyn: Oh, but you won’t?

Cameron: Look. This is exactly why I didn’t want to do the interview.

Josslyn: No, I still think that the good outweighs the bad. Oh, how’d that thing at school go? Did you get the issue resolved with the registrar?

Cameron: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it was — it was weird to be back in public.

Josslyn: Yeah, I bet.

Cameron: All those people whispering and staring.

Josslyn: Oh, I made myself stop reading all comments on social media. It’s insane. I mean, after all of our transparency, people still think that they know our experience better than we do. It’s messed up.

Cameron: Yeah. There was a few good moments, though. Yeah, this, um — this girl came up to me on campus.

Josslyn: What girl? I need a name.

Cameron: [ Chuckles ] No, she — she said that she admired us for speaking out. Apparently, that makes me a feminist.

Josslyn: I did see a handful of comments saying they respected us for calling attention to the issue. Some women even said that they might want to share their stories.

Cameron: That’s really cool.

Josslyn: Yeah. [ Sighs ]

Cameron: So, I guess… …I’m not huge on the extra attention that we’ve been getting. But in the end, I think we made the right decision.

Josslyn: Well, I think it’s my turn to say “I told you so.”

Cameron: It’s still hard, okay?

Josslyn: Yes, I know. I know. But maybe if we just focus on the specks of positive and we try to ignore all or most of the negative, you know, things will get easier.

Cameron: Mm. I’m game.

Josslyn: I mean, now that the article’s out, there’s nothing really to brace ourselves for. You know? We took a lot of control back.

Cameron: [ Inhales deeply ] This will not define us for the rest of our lives.

Josslyn: We won’t let it.


Diane: We should try offering something to Smoltz in exchange for dropping the charges.

Michael: Like?

Diane: Like you or someone close to you providing information for one of his stories.

Michael: Yeah, I mean, I’d be down for that. Mm-hmm. As long as the piece isn’t damaging to my family.

Diane: Well, of course not. So, let me brainstorm with Alexis. We’ll see what bait we can dangle to Smoltz. I’ll be in touch.

Michael: Thanks, Diane. Look, I’m sorry.

Willow: Why?

Michael: [ Sighs ] For jeopardizing our ability to block Nina from Wiley.

Willow: You don’t know that, Michael.

Michael: Well, it’s a pretty good assumption.

Willow: And even if you have, there’s zero reason to apologize. I love that you stood up for Josslyn. The fact that you’re protective of your family is one of the things that made me fall for you.

Michael: One of the things? You’re saying there’s — there’s — there’s more?

Willow: Many.

Michael: Oh, yeah? I’d — I’d love to hear.

Willow: Oh, what, like a list?

Michael: Whatever form suits you.

Willow: Okay. How much time do you have?

Michael: For you? Forever.


Harmony: I’m gonna go see Willow and Michael, and I’ve been thinking a lot about Nina’s request.

Alexis: To — to convince Michael and Willow to allow her visitation.

Harmony: Yeah. I’ve decided to help her.

Alexis: And I advised you not to do that. So why — why are you entertaining that?

Harmony: [ Sighs ] I don’t know. I just — I… I just felt bad for Nina. She’s had so much loss, and — and if I can help her by being kind, I mean, shouldn’t I?

Alexis: That’s very generous. Not smart, but generous.

Harmony: [ Sighs ] I just don’t want Willow to hate me.

Alexis: Willow is not gonna hate you. She’s not gonna like it, but she’s not gonna hate you. This is not gonna tank your relationship with her.

Harmony: I hope you’re right.

Alexis: You need to have some faith in your daughter.

Harmony: Mm. Thanks for listening.

Alexis: Anytime.

Harmony: And, Alexis… I’m really happy for you that you’ve got your life back on track. It must feel good.

Alexis: It does. It feels really good.


Esme: I…didn’t think you had it in you to stand up to Trina. And I’m glad you did, but I can’t forget all the horrible things you said, Spence.

Nikolas: It’s been a rough day. Maybe you should save this conversation for later, when everyone’s had a chance to regroup.

Esme: It’s no use, Mr. Cassadine. No matter how much time Spence takes, he’s made it clear that he’ll always believe the worst in me. Excuse me. I feel sick. Um…

Nikolas: You should try being a little gentler, given that she might be pregnant.

Spencer: How did you know that?

Nikolas: Victor told me. He’s worried about you — and Esme.

Spencer: You seem pretty concerned about Esme, too.

Nikolas: I’m more worried about you. Whatever else is between us, you’re my son, and I want to help you.

Spencer: Esme insisted that she was innocent. Swore that Trina wasn’t who she seemed. For so long, I trusted Esme over everyone else. I don’t know why I didn’t this time.

Nikolas: Well, that’s pretty obvious, isn’t it? You’ve developed feelings for Trina.


Scott: Well, let’s hear it. What’s the deal you have for my client?

Ada Arden: If Ms. Robinson pleads guilty to the misdemeanor charge of cyber sexual harassment, we’ll drop the felony charge of unlawful surveillance and we’ll recommend to the judge three years of probation with a fine of $1,000. This way, Trina avoids jail time.

Curtis: Um, there’s no guarantee that the judge won’t decide to give Trina jail time anyway.

ADA Arden: That’s the risk you take.

Trina: What do you think?

Scott: I think that the DA’s office can take this deal and shove it.

Molly: Trina, it’s a good deal. If you’re convicted of a felony, you could spend time in a higher-security prison. Not to mention, you’ll lose certain civil rights.

Scott: Okay. Okay. Now I need to confer with my client.

ADA Arden: Do it fast. DA Scorpio is being overly generous with this offer. It won’t be on the table for long.

Portia: Yeah, I don’t know about this. If Trina pleads guilty, it’s gonna be on her record for the rest of her life. And let’s not forget, she’s innocent. She did not do what she’s being accused of doing. Mr. Baldwin, that has to count for something, right?

Curtis: Of course it does.

Scott: Trina, it’s your decision. What do you want to do?

Trina: If I take the plea deal, I may not have to go to jail.

Portia: “May” — may being the operative word. I don’t like it. I don’t like it at all.

Curtis: I don’t like it, either. On the other hand, if the judge does sentence you to jail time, it would be a minimum-security prison.

Portia: Where she’ll be serving time for a crime that she didn’t do.

Curtis: I know.

Scott: Well, u-unfortunately, that’s not the way it works. She could be spending a year in Pentonville.

Portia: No. No. No way.

Trina: But if I plead not guilty and I’m found guilty for a felony, that’s even more jail time.

Scott: Well, that could be 2 to 5 years and/or probation, but time likely served in Pentonville.

Trina: Why’d you say to shove the deal?

Scott: Well, because that’s the way prosecutors work. They want to get a conviction. They don’t want to go to trial. It costs too much money and time, and they don’t know how the outcome is gonna be, so they start tacking on all these other charges. Then they present this shiny deal and it looks good in comparison. Now, I’ve seen all the evidence, and it’s not airtight, and I can almost guarantee you that the jury will come back with a “not guilty.”

Trina: “Almost.”

Scott: Well, that’s the rub, kid.

Curtis: Look, Trina. Let’s not think about this in terms of guarantees, okay? I want you to think about what you feel comfortable with and the outcome that you can live with.


Cameron: I can’t believe they found the phone in Trina’s backpack.

Josslyn: I don’t care what they found, because Trina would never do that to us. But I know somebody who would.

Cameron: Esme.

Josslyn: She’s good. She’s good. I’ll give her that. She framed Trina perfectly. Oh, I could — I could literally kill her.

Cameron: Please don’t. I cannot bear to have you serving jail time.

Josslyn: Can you imagine how scared Trina must be? She’s all by herself. She’s accused of something she didn’t do. The look on her face when they arrested her — I-I can’t get it out of my head, Cam.

Cameron: Isn’t her arraignment today? We should go.

Josslyn: Are — are you sure? I mean, there’ll be reporters everywhere.

Cameron: We can deal with that. Our friend is more important.

Josslyn: I’ll drive.


Willow: [ Yawns ]

Michael: I saw that.

Willow: Sorry. I was up late studying. [ Sighs ]

Michael: [ Groans lightly ] Come on. Are you, um — are you okay? If you need to go to get checked out, we can always reschedule with your mom.

Willow: [ Chuckles ] The only medicine I need is more iced tea.

Michael: Uh, and food.

Willow: Don’t worry. I learned my lesson. No more skipping meals for this girl. I am taking much better care of myself.

Michael: Okay, well, good, because I don’t know what I’d do if anything happened to you, so don’t make me find out.

Willow: I won’t. Hey, mom.

Harmony: Hi, sweetheart. Mm! Hey, Michael.

Michael: Hey. Look, I, uh — I just wanted to thank you for helping Willow out the other night. I-I’m grateful you were able to help her when I couldn’t.

Harmony: Yeah, of course. I would do anything for my daughter.


Sam: I’m in fear of Scout growing up.

Carly: It’s hard, right? I mean, you want to teach them to be mindful of all the dangers in the world, but at the same time, you want to encourage them to be open and fearless. It’s just… [ Sighs ]

Sam: I know, talk about walking a tightrope.

Carly: Totally.

Sam: I want Scout to be smart with her choices, but I don’t want to scare her.

Carly: You would think with all the progress that we’ve made, we wouldn’t have to worry about that. But just ask Josslyn. I mean, it’s like society has found new ways to be cruel.

Sam: Oh, well, if Scout can be half as tough as Joss… then I’ll be a happy mom.

Carly: Hey, you don’t have anything to worry about. And you’re a great mom.

Maxie: You asked Harmony to help you with Wiley?

Nina: Yeah. I mean, she’s Willow’s mother.

Maxie: Yeah, and from what I understand, not on the best terms with her.

Nina: No, but that’s changing. It is. Harmony and Willow are working on repairing their relationship.

Maxie: Okay, do you really think Harmony lobbying on your behalf is the best idea? It seems a bit risky to ask her to go against her own kid.

Nina: Yeah, Maxie, I’ve thought about all of that. But I am running out of options. If Harmony doesn’t come through for me, then I’m afraid my only choice is go the legal route.


Nikolas: You’re going through really complicated stuff. I mean, have you even had a chance to process what a pregnancy would mean?

Spencer: It means I would be a father. We do not know if Esme is even pregnant yet, okay? So…

Nikolas: Well, this is what I know. Esme is afraid and alone, and when I drove her back from Sonny’s office, she was shaking the whole time. And that can’t be good for a baby.

Spencer: If there is a baby. God, there’s just been so much hurt and distrust between us, right?

Nikolas: Yeah, I understand that, okay? And I’m not — I’m not even saying that you two should get back together. But I do think you need to find a way to navigate this.

Spencer: I’m open to suggestions.


Diane: The article was phenomenal. I’m so proud of Josslyn.

Alexis: And Cameron.

Diane: And you. Nicely done, Ms. Editor-in-Chief.

Alexis: It was a labor of love.

Diane: I can tell.

Alexis: Did you come all the way over here to tell me how great I am? I’m not complaining.

Diane: No. Actually, I need your help. You got a minute for your bestie?


Trina: Am I allowed to go to the hallway? Just to clear my mind for a minute.

Curtis: Can she go stretch her legs for a minute?

Officer: Yeah, I’ll take her.

Portia: Oh, okay. Come on, sweetie.

Trina: Um, I love you, and I appreciate you so much for being here, but…

Portia: You just — you want to be alone right now?

Trina: Or as alone as I can be.

Officer: It’ll be like I’m invisible.

Trina: Is that okay with you?

Portia: Of course. Whatever you need.

Trina: Okay. Thank you.

Portia: What is going on right now? Plea deals, prison time? The only thing Trina should have to worry about as a freshman is where she’s going to spring break. Not dealing with all this.

Curtis: I know. But everything will be fine because she has you. And I am absolutely here for you in any way you need me.

Portia: I love you.

Curtis: I love you, too, baby. We got this.

Josslyn: Trina!

Cameron: Hey, do you need some extra company?

Trina: What are you guys doing here?

Josslyn: Where else would we be?

Trina: I just thought you guys want to keep a low profile.

Cameron: Not today.


Willow: I keep telling myself there’s no reason to worry since Nina hasn’t filed a petition yet. But it’s hard not to.

Harmony: Well, do you think maybe Nina’s changed her mind about taking you to court? That she’s realized that being at odds with you is just not the best strategy?

Michael: Well, I’m not counting on it. Nina feels that it’s the only way to see Wiley. It’s just a matter of time.

Harmony: It’s so awful thinking about him in the middle of all this, his family fighting over him.

Willow: We hate it, too. And of course, we’ll shield him as much as possible.

Harmony: Yeah, but, you know, he’s growing up. He’s picking up on everything now.

Willow: Basically a human sponge.

Harmony: Who, if Nina is awarded visitation, he’s gonna be the one to feel the resentment between the people that he loves.

Michael: Yeah, well, that’s just, uh, something we’ll have to deal with as it comes.

Harmony: Or… or not, maybe. Listen, like, what — what if you granted Nina informal visitation and you could control the terms, and — and Wiley would be protected from all that fighting? What?

Michael: I don’t know. It sounds like you want Nina to see Wiley.

Willow: Do you?


Instructor: Okay, class is gonna start in just a few minutes, so make sure you have enough water. It’s gonna get hot in here.

Carly: Yeah.

Sam: Okay.

[ Laughter ]

Nina: Carly, uh… I-I heard about what Josslyn’s going through, and I’m really sorry. It’s horrible, but the good news is, Josslyn is tough, so if anyone can handle it, she can.

Maxie: That wasn’t terrible.

Nina: It was not terrible, was it? Hey, maybe there’s another way, huh? I haven’t tried talking to Carly about Wiley again.

Maxie: There’s a reason for that.

Nina: Well, I know my odds are not great, but for Wiley’s sake, I have to try to keep it out of the courts, right? I mean, what kind of grandmother would I be if I didn’t try everything?

Maxie: Okay. Just be careful. Everything is still so raw for Carly. You don’t want to make things worse.

Nina: Oh, and can things get worse?

Maxie: Yes.

Nina: Here I go.

Maxie: This is a bad idea.

Nina: Uh, Carly… wish me luck.

Maxie: No. Abort. Abort.

Nina: I’d like to talk to you about Wiley.


Trina: So, taking the deal and pleading guilty is probably my best chance of avoiding jail time.

Josslyn: But you’re not guilty.

Trina: I know. A-and the thought of saying I did this awful thing when I didn’t is just… and not to mention, a guilty verdict will be on my record forever.

Cameron: But if pleading guilty prevents you from doing any jail time, the people that matter know that you’re innocent.

Josslyn: I get that line of thinking. Okay, playing it safe.

Cameron: But you disagree?

Josslyn: Yeah. I think you should fight it.

Trina: Really?

Josslyn: Trina, you didn’t do it. And I’ll testify to that.

Cameron: Me, as well.

Trina: Thank you. But I-I don’t know how that’ll counter the evidence.

Josslyn: Planted evidence.

Trina: It’s still enough to convince some people. And if those people are on the jury…

Josslyn: Well, we’re here for you. Okay? No matter what you decide.

Officer: Time to head back in.

Cameron: You got this.

Bailiff: All rise. The honorable Judge Oliver young presiding.


Spencer: How are you feeling?

Esme: You don’t have to act like you care.

Spencer: I do care. I want to make sure you’re okay.

Esme: My stomach’s not feeling so great. Um, I think I’ll just head back to my room at Kely’s. And hopefully this time, no one grabs me and shoves me in a car.

Nikolas: Sonny won’t bother you anymore.

Esme: You don’t know that. I-I mean, it’s not like he doesn’t have access to the rooms. His ex-mother-in-law owns the building. If Sonny wants me, he can get to me at any time.

Spencer: Father, would it be alright if Esme stayed at Wyndemere? I’ll move in, too.

Esme: Really? You would do that?

Spencer: That way, you won’t be alone. And we can figure out next steps. If you give the okay.


Diane: This is about your reporter, Smoltz.

Alexis: Smoltz is not my reporter.

Diane: Well, Smoltz does freelance for the invader, yes?

Alexis: From time to time.

Diane: I’m trying to entice him to drop the charges against Michael.

Alexis: Yeah, he came running over here to report about that incident.

Diane: Personally, I think Michael was justified.

Alexis: I’m sure he was.

Diane: Except he did punch the man, and he did it right in front of the police commissioner.

Alexis: So Michael’s best chances are, then, if the charges get dropped.

Diane: Precisely. So I’m thinking, is there something, is there some bait that we can dangle in front of Smoltz? Perhaps a juicy story for which either Michael or one of the Quartermaines could be the source.

Alexis: What I can tell you about our little friend is he’s got a big, huge ego and he’s very greedy. And he hates me because I rejected his version of Josslyn and Cameron’s story and gave it to a responsible reporter to handle it appropriately.

Diane: For which Josslyn and Cameron and their respective families, I’m sure, are eternally grateful.

Alexis: It’s also very unlikely that I can convince Smoltz of anything. I’m sorry.

Diane: Don’t be. Your instinct to deny that bottom-feeder the story was spot-on. I will simply have to think of a different strategy.

Alexis: You always do.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]


Harmony: I was just thinking about what’s best for the whole family, you know? No long, drawn-out court battle for you, and Wiley would just get another grandmother who loves him.

Willow: I’m sorry. I’m con– I’m confused. [ Scoffs ] You know the pain Nina inflicted on Wiley. On Wiley’s entire extended family.

Harmony: I understand.

Michael: I don’t — I don’t think you do, Harmony, ’cause how could you ever trust Nina again? Not only because of what she pulled with my father, but the things that she said to Wiley.

Willow: Mom, did Nina ask you to lobby on her behalf?

Harmony: Y-yes. Yeah. Nina approached me and asked me —

Willow: A-and you agreed?

Michael: I don’t believe this.

Willow: To try and co-opt my own mother…

Michael: Yeah, nothing’s too low for Nina, she’s proven that.

Willow: Did she actually think it would work? Did you?

Harmony: Oh, my loyalty is to you, Willow, not Nina.

Michael: That’s kind of questionable at this point.

Harmony: I’m sorry if you guys think that I acted otherwise. I just — she just — Nina got me thinking, you know, that what would be in the best interest for Wiley is that if you could just settle this amongst yourselves, that’s all.

Willow: I know what this is really about.


Carly: I am not chatting with you about my grandson…

Nina: Our grandson.

Carly: …As if you didn’t throw a huge grenade in our life.

Nina: Well, Carly, I was hoping that we could maybe work together when necessary, like we did with Gladys when she was upset about Sasha and Brando.

Carly: That was a very special circumstance.

Nina: No, it wasn’t that different than this. We found a way to coexist, right? Due to our shared concern for Sasha. Can’t we do the same for Wiley?

Carly: No.

Nina: We can’t put our personal problems aside for that little boy? Why not?

Carly: Oh. [ Scoffs ] Well, let’s see. Because Sasha’s life wasn’t turned upside down because you kept her grandfather from her family. So save your concern, because you didn’t have any when you lied to Sonny or when you made a scene at his funeral or when you told Wiley that Nelle was his real mommy. So stop, Nina. Leave me and my family alone.

Nina: You can’t deny that we share a grandson.

Carly: Oh, the way you denied that Sonny had a wife and children?

Nina: Wiley is the only part of my daughter left out there in the world. You will not keep me from him. I will be in his life. And I am sorry if you and Michael have a problem with that.

Carly: Oh, my god, look at you! You are such the victim. Acting as if Michael and I are the issue, that we did this. You did this to yourself.


Judge Young: The defendant will rise. One count of cyber sexual harassment. One count of unlawful surveillance in the second degree. How does the defendant plead?


Nikolas: There’s certainly more security at Wyndemere than my mother’s, let alone Kelly’s. And… you feel safe there? Give the two of you a chance to figure things out with both proximity and space, should you need it.

Spencer: So, is that a yes?

Esme: Wait, I… I need to make sure that this is actually what you want, because if you’re not comfortable —

Spencer: It was my idea, remember? I wouldn’t have offered if I didn’t want to.

Esme: Okay.

Nikolas: [ Chuckles ] All eyes on me, huh?

Spencer: It is your home.

Nikolas: And I’m happy to share it. I think it’s what’s best for both of you right now.

Esme: Then it’s settled. Spence and I will move in.


Carly: You could have had a role in Wiley’s life. But at every turn, you made choices that put you at odds with Wiley’s family. So if you’re looking for someone to blame, go find a mirror.

Nina: It’s not about blame, Carly. It’s about this little boy. And nothing and no one will stop me from fighting for him.

Carly: Do you hear yourself? I mean, you’re not talking about Wiley like he’s a person with emotions and needs. You’re not even thinking about what’s best for Wiley. This is about you and your need to stay connected to your dead daughter. And you want to use Wiley to make you happy. You don’t give a damn about how it affects him. I do.

Nina: I’m leaving.

Maxie: Okay. I knew this was going to happen.

Carly: I hate her. I hate her. And I’m trying not to engage, but I hate Nina.

Sam: Stop. First of all, Nina is the one who engaged. You stuck up for yourself, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Carly: Yeah. Thank you.

Sam: And as an added bonus, you got Nina to leave. Now we get to breathe and relax and enjoy ourselves.

Carly: Huh. Well, that is a plus.


Willow: You have sympathy for Nina. And I get it. I’m sure it hits close to home, makes you think of all the time we lost.

Harmony: Yeah. Yes, it does. Um, you know, being separated from your child — I wouldn’t — I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

Michael: But I mean, you — you do understand, though, that this situation is — is different.

Willow: I have thought about Nina’s perspective, mom, from pretty much every possible angle, but our first concern is what’s best for Wiley.

Michael: Yeah, and Nina isn’t it. But we — we can’t — we can’t reach an agreement with her.

Harmony: Understood. Truly. I won’t bring it up again. I’m sorry.

Willow: Don’t be. I had compassion for Nina, too. Once upon a time, at least.

Michael: Well, must be genetic. Chuckles ]


Unknown Man: Been a long time, Ms. Davis.

Alexis: It’s you.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Spencer (to Esme): Why haven’t you taken that home pregnancy test yet?

Ava (to Joss and Cam): I know it’s difficult for you to trust me, but this time you’re gonna have to.

Scott: I’m gonna have to hear you say it.

Alexis: Oh, I never forget a face.

Nina (to Harmony): Michael and Willow want a fight, they’ll get a fight.

Brick (to Sonny): My brother, that’s not for you.

Trina: I plead…

[Monitor beeping]

[Soft dramatic music]

Lani: Please, god, bring my husband back. I know he’s fighting as hard as he can, but he needs your help. So please don’t give up on him. Our children need him and I need him. Please.

[Monitor beeping]

Abe: Hey, sweethearT.

Lani: Hey.

Abe: Any change?

[Monitor beeping]

Lani: Eli is my entire world. What am I gonna do if I lose him?

Rafe: Thank you for coming in, ms. Howard.

Beth: Uh, you said you need me to sign my statement?

Rafe: Yes. Before you do, I just wanna go over a few things.

Beth: Is there a problem?

Rafe: No. I’m reviewing everything. The grants are two of my best detectives. They’re also personal friends of mine, so this is close to me and I want to make sure I get it right, for eli.

Beth: I’m so sorry about what happened to him.

Rafe: YeaH. So it says here in your statement that you came in to meet with detective grant and during that meeting, he left.

Beth: That’s right.

Rafe: But you have no idea why he left or where he was going? Is that accurate?

Paulina: [Scoffs] Jules and carver grant, it’s time to go to sleep. Uh-uh, don’t look at me like that, girlfriend, I just fed you. Oh!

[Knock at door] Oh, come in, it’s open. Uh! It is not a good time.

Tr: I stopped by the hospital earlier to visit lani. She said that you were watching the kids.

Paulina: And?

Tr: I thought you could use a little helP.

Johnny: What’s up, doc? You know, just because our exes own that bakery doesn’t mean we can’t partake. I mean, these devil food… cupcakes are to die foR. You should get some before they run ouT.

Tripp: I’ll pass.

Johnny: If you’re worried about running into allie, she’s not in there. Neither is chaneL. They’re probably off somewhere, making passionate love.

Chanel: Thanks for letting me stay over.

Allie: You do not have to thank me, dupree. I love having your here.

Chanel: Are you sure you’re not sick of me?

Allie: Are you sure you’re not fishing for compliments?

Chanel: We’re working together all day and now we’re sleeping together all night. That is a legit question.

Allie: I’m not sick of you. Are you sick of me?

Chanel: Hmm. Let me see if I can answer that.

[Door opens]

Nicole: Oh. Good morninG.

Allie: It is a good morning.

Chanel: Really good.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Beth: All detective grant said was that he had something to do and he’d be back soon.

Rafe: Mm-hmM. And the reason you met with him was to provide background information on tr coates with whom you have a relationship.

Beth: Had. In the past. It’s over now.

Rafe: Okay. Got you. It also says during that time, while you were together, he never was under the influence of drugs or was physically abusivE. Is that correct?

Beth: Yes.

Rafe: Okay. All right, well, just sign on the x there at the bottom, please.

Beth: How is detective grant?

Rafe: He’s still in a coma.

Beth: That’s awful. I feel so bad for his wife.

Rafe: Yeah, me too. In fact, i’m on my way to the hospital to see her right noW.

Abe: Eli is young. He’s strong. He has so many reasons to fight his way back.

Lani: Not everyone is so optimistic, dad.

Abe: What do you mean?

Lani: I just said goodbye to valerie. She had had to fly back to dc for work.

Abe: That must’ve been very difficult for her. But she’s a doctor.

Lani: Exactly. And she left. She wouldn’t have done that if she thought eli was gonna wake up soon. And seeing her leave, it made all this so much more real for me. We have to face it, dad. This can go on for a really long time.

Abe: Sweetheart, you can’t lose hope.

LanI: I’m trying. But it’s like no matter what choice I make, someone is being neglected.

Abe: What do you mean?

LanI: Obviously, the kids, they need their mother and I miss them so much, but everything inside of me says that I should be here by his side and that if I just hold his hand and tell him how much I love him that he will come back to me.

Abe: If that’s what your heart is telling you, then this is right where you need to be.

Lani: And what about child care? Valerie was at the house with jules and carver and now paulina is there.

Abe: Okay, so you’re covereD.

Lani: For now. But I can’t expect her to watch two babies full-time, dad. I need a nanny, but I feel like if I get one, I am admitting to myself that eli is never coming back.

Abe: Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart. You’re admitting nothing. You’re just simply looking out after your needs until we get through this. Sweetheart, you don’t have to hire anyone. I–I would be happy, I would be happy to pitch in and help you whenever you need me. And so would julie. We’re all here for you.

Lani: Thank you, dad. I feel really blessed to have so much support. But taking care of twins, dad, is a lot for one person.

Abe: And you said that paulina is there with them? Well, maybe she can use some help.

Paula: On what planet do you think that you can help? You don’t know the first thing about babies.

Tr: But the woman at the store sure did.

Paulina: What store?

Tr: Where I bought the deluxe toddler package. Toys, stuffed animals, pacifierS. You name it. There’s gotta be something in here you can usE. Like maybe right now?

[Babies fussing]

Paulina: Okay, fine.

Tripp: Now, if you’re trying to get to me, johnny, you’re not.

Johnny: Really? I’m surprised.

Tripp: Why? I already know allie and chanel slept together because you just couldn’t wait to tell me, on valentine’s day, no less, and right after I’d just proposed to your sister.

Johnny: Look, tripp, I just– I thought you had a right to know that allie’s been having sexual relations with my wife behind your back.

Tripp: It happened one time.

Johnny: Ooh, man. As usual, you’re the last to know.

Tripp: Know what?

Tripp: It’s not one time. It’s, like, all the time. Allie and chanel are a couple now.

Allie: What we meant to say is good morning to you too, nicole.

Nicole: [Chuckles] Well, thank you, allie. Chanel, it’s good to see you.

Chanel: SamE.

Nicole: So who wants some coffee?

Chanel: Oh, thank you, but I’m actually on my way out. I’m gonna go see my sister at the hospital.

Nicole: Oh, please give lani my love.

Chanel: I will. Later, horton.

Allie: Bye.

Chanel: Bye.

Nicole: Would you like some coffee?

Allie: [Chuckles] I’d love somE. But I think first we should talk about the elephant in the room.

[Clears throat] Um, obviously, chanel and I are a couple now.

Nicole: I can see that.

Allie: Are you not happy about it?

Nicole: Well, it’s just– I’m wondering–

Allie: Wondering what?

Nicole: Allie, could this possibly just be a rebound thing?

Allie: It is definitely not a rebound thing.

Nicole: Okay. You know I’m not judging you. But tripp, he did just call off the engagement.

Allie: And now I’m with chanel. I know it seems fast, but it’s really not.

Nicole: Okay.

Allie: Because I was in denial about my feelings for so lonG.

Nicole: Your feelings for chanel?

Allie: Yeah. I mean, I know i was attracted to her, but I also know that I’m attracted to meN. And I didn’t know what that meant. And then I talked to will and he helped me figure out that it means that I am bi…sexual.

Nicole: Oh, honey. I know what bi means.

Allie: Sorry. I’m just learning a ton still myself, so–

Nicole: And this feels right to you?

Allie: Yeah. And I understand now that what I had with tripp was real and so is what I have with chanel. I care about her and she cares about me and we want to be together. As a couple.

Nicole: Well, then I fully support you. And I know that you have a lot to process, so if you need to talk about anything, I am herE.

Allie: Thank you. That means so much.

Nicole: So you and chanel? Are you out in the open?

Allie: Um, not exactly.

Nicole: Okay. So you’re keeping it a secret?

Allie: No, no. But I’m just a little nervous about going public because tripp doesn’t know yet.

Tripp: It is amazing someone who spends so much time gossiping and spreading false rumors has time to make a movie.

Johnny: No, it’s not a rumor. It’s true. Yeah, I saw allie and chanel here in the square. They were all over each other. And when I said they made a cute couple, they didn’t deny it.

Tripp: I have to get to worK.

Johnny: If you don’t believe me, you can ask linda in the bakery. I got out of her that challie spent last night together at nicole’s place. That’s the same bed that you and allie used to share, right? Well, I guess I don’t need to waste any time waiting for you to thank me for cluing you iN. Because like you said, you don’t care, right?

[Sighs and exhales deeply]

[Monitor beeping]

Lani: Hi.

[Delicate music]

Rafe: Oh, man.

Lani: [Exhales deeply]

Rafe: I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry that this happened. And that I couldn’t be there for you.

Lani: It’s okay, rafe. You were in jail for something you didn’t dO.

Rafe: YeaH. Well, I’m out now. And I’m gonna do everything in my power to get to the bottom of this.

Tr: Listen to that.

Paulina: What?

Tr: The peaceful quiet of sleeping kids.

Paulina: [Chuckles] These two are perfect angels.

Tr: Mm.

Tr: Like you said, I don’t know anything about babies, but I wanna learn. After all, carver and jules are my grandkids, too. I wanna be around for them, get to know them. But even more than that, I wanna prove to you that you can trust mE.

[Knock at door] You stay. I’ll get that.

Nicole: So tripp doesn’t know about you and chanel?

Allie: Well, we’re not exactly blasting it all over social media. But I know he’s gonna find out eventually. You think I should tell him?

Nicole: What do you think?

Allie: I think I hate the idea of hurting him agaiN.

Nicole: It’s gonna be hard, but if i were tripp, I would wanna hear it from you.

Chanel: I, um, here to see lani. Eli’s in a coma.

Tripp: I’m aware. I work here.

Chanel: Right. Uh–well–uh– I should get going. I really need to go be there for my sister.

Tripp: Surprised you can tear yourself away from your new girlfriend.

Beth: So you’re johnny dimera.

Johnny: The one and only. And you are?

Beth: Beth howard, aka the new celeste perrault. I’m sorry to drop by unannounced, but I just had to tell you in person I think this script is just incredible. I mean, so original, so fresh, with a nod to kubrick and hitchcock?

Johnny: [Chuckles] Two of my biggest influences. Wow, beth, you really know your stuff.

Beth: I’ve been doing this a while. But I have never been this excited about a project before. If you have time, I’d love to get your take on the character.

Johnny: My take is that celeste parrault is a kick-ass character that my idiot soon-to-be-ex-wife gave up. Her loss.

Beth: My gain. [Chuckles]

Johnny: Hmm. You do have a good looK. And I like how bold you are, seeking me out, asking for my input.

Beth: I wanna give you my best.

Johnny: And I hope you get the chance.

Beth: Sorry?

Johnny: Well, you don’t have the role locked up yet.

Beth: What? Tr told me himself that I did.

Johnny: Wonder why he would do that when he knows that I have final say on casting.

Abe: Well, lani told me that you’d be watching the kids and I thought that you might need some help. And I also brought some supplies from home.

Paulina: Well, that was very thoughtful of you. Thank you.

Abe: Jules loves these little dolls.

Paulina: Uh, tr, he brought over some supplies as well.

Tr: Great minds. Look, mr. Mayor, I know how you feel about me, but I visited lani earlier at the hospital and she said that she wanted to spend as much time as possible with eli so i thought I would come by here to help and spend some time with my grandkidS.

Abe: May I speak to you, please? In private.

Tr: I have some emails that need my attention.

Abe: You know, you may think this is none of my business, but having that man here, it’s a damn big mistake.

Rafe: I’ve been reading statements, reviewing evidence, and conducting interviews. I’ve had some questions about what happened in the park that day.

Lani: We know what happened. Shawn and I were there.

Rafe: Yeah, but I’m not sure it’s as simple as it seems. I think there might be more to this story.

Chanel: My girlfriend? What are you talking about?

Tripp: Cut the crap, chanel. Johnny told me you and allie are together now.

Chanel: He did what?

Tripp: Yeah, don’t bother denying it, okay? He said he saw you two getting it on in the square and he knows you spent the night at nicole’S.

Chanel: GiovannI has a big mouth.

Tripp: Of course. Of course, blame the messenger.

Chanel: Okay, look, for what it’s worth, this is not how we wanted you to find out.

Tripp: You think I care? Don’t flatter yourself.

Chanel: Well, allie and i care about you a lot.

Tripp: Please. I remember you, when you came running over here after I called off the engagement. Saying, “what allie and i did was a one-time thing. She wants you, tripp, not me. Can’t you just get find it in your heart to forgive her?” What a crock.

Chanel: I had no idea we would end up together.

Tripp: Right. Right, you’ve only been dangling yourself in front of allie from day one. Making sure she can never get you out of her head. I mean, you just couldn’t let us be happy, could you? I think you only went after her brother just to get under her skin.

Chanel: I did not! I was in love with johnny and he broke my heart!

Tripp: Well, if that’s true, that sucks for you. But I don’t think it is. Because you sure got over him quick.

Johnny: I take it tr didn’t mention that little detail when he offered you the part?

Beth: No, he did not.

Johnny: Weird. Because he told chanel and that’s why she came running to me, begging me to recast her. Because she knew that without my approval, she wasn’t getting out of her contracT.

Beth: And what did you tell her?

Johnny: I said I’d cut her loose if she dropped the lawsuit that she had against me. Before she could get back to me, tr went ahead and signed you.

Beth: Well, maybe you guys just got your wires crosseD.

Johnny: [Scoffing chuckle] No, I don’t think so. But tr is a veteran producer. He knew damn well that he didn’t have the authority to give you that role without my approval. So it makes me wondeR. Why would he do that? Could you shed any light on that?

Paulina: You’re right, abe. It is none of your business.

Abe: You know, I know your history with that man. And why the hell would you let him be around you and the twins?

Tr: Excuse me. I know you two are talking about me, so let’s just get it out there.

Abe: Like i told you, when you showed up at the hospital after eli had been shot, I don’t want you around paulina, my daughter, or my grandchildren.

Paulina: Abe, pleasE.

Tr: No, no, no, it’s okay. I can tell you a thousand times that i’m not the man that I used to be. But you’ll never believe that until I show you and that’s all I’m trying to do. And I want to assure you as I have assured paulina, she has nothing to fear from me.

Paulina: Abe, I’m fine. Really, really. You can go. And thank you for the supplies.

Abe: I’ll call you later. Just to make sure all is well.

[Soft dramatic music]

Tr: Mayor carver does not like me.

Paulina: He’s just being protective.

Tr: Oh, is that what you think?

Paulina: Well, what else could it be?

Tr: Maybe he’s jealous. Let’s go over everything. First question, why did elI go to that park?

Rafe: I don’t know. I need to keep digging on that. Obviously, we know he was there, right? So theory number one, eli’s going through the park, he sees that frank guy, sees him shooting up, right? So he goes to arrest him. Struggle ensues, they end up fighting for the gun, and elI gets shot.

Lani: If that’s true, why wouldn’t frank just run?

Rafe: Okay, yeah. So that brings me to theory number two, right? ElI’s going through the park, sees the frank guy, he’s dealing, so he goes to arrest him. Again, they start fighting, gun goes off, guy thinks that he’s killed a cop, he panics, shoots up, ods.

Lani: In other words, he killed himself.

Rafe: Right.

Lani: Why not use the gun?

Rafe: Well, maybe it was an accidental overdose.

Lani: He just wanted to calm his nerves and ended up doing too much?

Rafe: I don’t knoW. See, every time I come up with a new scenario, I just have more questions than I have answerS. And we have no witnesses.

LanI: Security footage?

Rafe: No. Not in that section of the park. I mean, that’s why the dealers and junkies go there.

Lani: Eli is the only one who knows what happened that day. I pray every minute of every day that he will wake up and tell us what happeneD.

Rafe: Yeah. Listen, in the meantime, I’m gonna try and find out more about the dealer, okay? You hang in there, all right?

LanI: Hmm. I’ll do my best.

Rafe: You betteR. And, listen, you need anything, anything at all, I’m here, okay?

Lani: Thank you, rafe.

Rafe: Okay. We’ll talk soon. All right, kid?

Lani: Yeah.

[Downbeat music]

Tripp: You and allie could’ve told me the truth at any point. From the moment I met you to the moment I asked her to marry mE.

Chanel: I’m sorry.

Tripp: No, you’re not. You’re probably psyched. I mean, “stupid, naive tripp. He actually bought it when we said we’re just friends? Wow, if he’ll believe that, he’ll believe anything.”

Chanel: We did not think that!

Tripp: How could you not? I was stupid enough to believe you when you said it was just two innocent kisses. And I was stupid enough to believe allie when she said she’d left your place after comforting you the night of the reception. And when i came to you to check on you after your breakup, you must’ve been laughing at me inside.

Chanel: No, that’s not true! Look, I understand you’re upset after finding out in the worst possible way, okay? Johnny never should’ve opened his big, fat mouth!

Tripp: At least he told me the truth. Which is more than you and allie have ever done.

Johnny: So why would tr go out on a limb for you?

Beth: We have history. He knows me, knows my work, and he thought I’d be right for the role.

Johnny: Oh, come on, beth. I know how these things go in hollywood. Woman of a certain age, work isn’t as easy to come by as it used to be. You wanted to play celeste, tr wanted something in return–

Beth: Are you implying that–

Johnny: If he gave you this role in exchange for sexual favors, that could blow up in my face. And that is not gonna happen because this, this is my big shot, and no one’s gonna get in the way of that.

Beth: I wouldn’T. I would never. You have to believe me.

Johnny: Why? Because you say so? Look, I’m sorry, but your word is not enough for me to stake my entire career on. I’m sorrY. We’re gonna have to start looking for another actress.

Beth: I didn’t sleep with tr. I swear. All I did was agree to keep quiet about his past.

[Shrill tones]

Johnny: What past?

Paulina: Abe is not jealous.

[Scoffs] There’s nothing to be jealous of. First of all, there’s nothing going on between you and me. And less than nothing going on between me and abe.

Tr: He couldn’t forgive you for lying to him?

Paulina: That’s the sad parT. He did forgive me. He doesn’t know if he can ever trust me again. So there’s no hope for the future.

Tr: I’m sorry to hear that. As i have said, I know I have a lot of work to do to win your trust again. And I intend to do it. Prove myself through my actions, a little more each day. Because I want to be a part of your life, paulina. I want another chance to show you how good we can be together. However long it takes, no matter I have to do, I’m not giving up. I’m never giving up on you. A sweet-talker, ray. Lots of pretty words. Just the rest of it I’m not so sure about.

Tr: I don’t blame you. But I hope over time you’ll see that I’m sincere… and give me another chance.

Johnny: What happened in tr’s past? What does he want you to keep quiet about?

Beth: Just some things I know about hiM.

Johnny: Like what?

Beth: It’s not important. I shouldn’t have even said anything.

Johnny: Now, didn’t anyone ever tell you that secrets have a way of coming out?

Beth: Not this one. This is dead and burieD.

Johnny: Who else knows about it besides you and tr?

Beth: No onE. And that’s how I’m gonna keep it. Look, you can’t say anything to tr about this. Please. I can’t lose this role.

Johnny: I think I get the picture now.

Beth: So you’re not firing me?

Johnny: No, nO. I’ll be in touch. I look forward to working with you.

[Eerie tense music]

Lani: Any changes?

Tripp: No, but don’t be discouraged by that. It means he’s stable. Something positive to hold on to.

[Monitor beeping]

Lani: [Sighs] And how are you doing, lani? When’s the last time you slept or got something to eat?

Lani: Honestly, I don’t know. I don’t even remembeR.

Tripp: It’s important to take care of ourselves, too. Maybe on my break, how about I go down and get you a sandwich? Maybe some coffee?

Lani: [Chuckles] That’d be great. Thank you, tripp. Paulina said you were a great doctoR. She was righT.

[Phone rings]

Allie: Hey, dupree.

Chanel: Hey. [Sniffles]

Allie: What’s wrong?

Chanel: I’m at the hospital.

Allie: Did something happen to eli?

Chanel: No, I– I haven’t been to his room yet.

Allie: Okay, then what is it?

Chanel: I ran into tripp. He knows we’re a couplE.

Allie: You told him?

Chanel: Johnny beat me to it.

Allie: Are you serious?

Chanel: Yes. And tripp is not taking it welL.

Allie: Well, yeah, no, of course not. Damn johnny for telling him!

Chanel: I just–i– it’s like johnny just– he can’t but make it worse and worse for us. But okay, I need to pull myself together. And I need to be there for my sister.

Allie: Okay, call me after you see her.

Chanel: I will.

Allie: [Sighs] And I know I have to see.

Nicole: I am so sorry, abe. I mean, seeing this tr guy with your grandkids must’ve been terribly uncomfortable.

Abe: I’m really worried about paulina. I don’t like her spending time with this guy.

Nicole: And this guy who says he’s changed now, right?

Abe: His ex-girlfriend backs him up. She says that he never used drugs and he never laid a hand on her when they were together.

Nicole: Do you believe that?

Abe: I don’t know. And he’s saying and doing all the right things. I–I just don’t trust him.

Nicole: You remember how abusive my father was, right?

Abe: Hmm.

Nicole: And he told everyone that he had changed, but he didn’T. And it is rare that guys like that do.

Abe: Yeah, well, that’s what’s got me concerned. Unfortunately, i don’t have the right to say anything since I’m not in paulina’s life anymore. You know what? I had– oh, I had better get going. It’s so good to see you again.

Nicole: AW. You too, abe. You take care of yourself, okay?

Abe: Yeah, I will.

[Knock at door]

Paulina: [Inhales deeply] Door’s open, come in.

Rafe: Oh, hey, paulina. Sorry to bother yoU. You got a minute?

Paulina: Oh, no. Of course, of course. But keep it down please, okay? Because the twins, they’re asleep.

Rafe: Oh.

Paulina: This is, um–

Tr: Tr coates. Paulina’s ex.

Rafe: Oh. Pleasure to meet you. Rafe hernandez, salem pd.

Tr: Pleasure, officer.

Rafe: Actually, it’s commissioneR. Yep, I was just reinstated.

Paulina: Oh! That’s wonderful!

Tr: [Chuckles] Excuse me.

[Baby babbling]

Paulina: So what can i do for you?

Rafe: Well, lanI said that abe was here so I was hoping to talk to him about eli’s shooting.

Paulina: Oh, you just missed him.

Rafe: Oh.

Paulina: And can I tell you how glad i am that you are back on the job and on this case? Oh, I know you are as relieved as I am that lowlife junkie that shot my son-in-law, he’s dead.

Rafe: Thing is, he wasn’t a junkie.

Paulina: What?

Rafe: Yeah, i just got off the phone with a reliable source who says he didn’t use drugs, he only sold theM. So now, I’m wondering how the hell he died of a massive overdose.

Chanel: I’ll come back.

Lani: No, stay.

Tripp: I was just leaving.

Chanel: I’m so sorry.

[Monitor beeping]

Demon johnny: As you always knew, stefano, everyone’s got a dirty, little secret. And I can’t wait to find out what mr. Coates’ iS… so i can use it against him. Just like I used allie’s secret against her. Huh. Poor thing.

Allie: I know what you did! Did you hear what I said? Turn around and face me, you son of a bitch!

Steffy: You haven’t changed, sheila.

Sheila: Brooke is the one that hasn’t changed. Boozing it up with deacon, cheating on your father the first opportunity she had.

Steffy: Because of you. This chance at a relationship with finn, with hayes, it’s over. It is never gonna happen now that I have proof that you’re still the same manipulative sociopath you have always been. Targeting brooke like that?

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

Steffy: Oh, stop denying it, sheila! Stop denying it. I know how sick you are, how far you’re willing to go. I know what you did to brooke.

Hope: Well, I, um, tried to stop by the house earlier, but you weren’t home.

Brooke: I went to the office to see ridge.

Hope: Oh. And, uh, how did that go? Any progress?

Brooke: He says that he misses me. He’s concerned.

Liam: Of course he’s concerned. That goes along with loving you.

Brooke: He may care about me, but doesn’t mean he’s gonna get past what happened. I betrayed his trust. Now I have to deal with the consequences, whatever they may be.

Thomas: That’s an odd way to put it.

Taylor: What?

Thomas: That there is nothing I wouldn’t do to get you and dad back together.

Taylor: Okay, when you say it like that, it does sound a little weird. Honey, I just– I know how much this means to you and steffy. I know how much you wanna see your father and me back together.

Thomas: And that’s what you want too, right?

Hope: Mom, whether ridge forgives you or not, you have to forgive yourself and move on.

Brooke: That’s what ridge said. He said I need to stop torturing myself and stop living in the past.

Liam: He’s right about that much. Self-flagellating isn’t gonna help anyone.

Brooke: You think I like being stuck like this? I don’T. Constantly wondering what happened to me, why I let ridge slip away.

Hope: [Scoffs] But you haven’T. Not yet.

Brooke: He doesn’t live here anymore, does he? He seems happier over at steffy’S. And who can blame him? I think he feels safer with taylor.

Hope: Well, that might be a temporary situation, because, mom, I mean, at the end of the day, you are still married to him. And unless that changes, you still have a chance.

Ridge: Ah, good. You’re still here.

Thomas: I will be till I finish this sketch.

Ridge: I was talking to the pretty one.

Taylor: Well, then you were talking to thomas.

[Laughs] I’m gonna head out so you guys can work.

Ridge: Wait, wait, wait. Without answering the question? I mean, I overheard you guys.

Thomas: Yeah, mom. Answer the question.

Taylor: Oh!

Ridge: I–I was only kidding.

Taylor: The question. Do I wanna get back together with this guy? What do you think?

Sheila: If I did anything to brooke–

Steffy: If?

Sheila: I’m not saying that I did, but–

Steffy: I overheard thomas talking to you on the phone. Talking about he couldn’t take it–the little secret he was keeping? How you switched the labels on brooke’s bottle. She thought she was drinking non-alcoholic champagne, but you made sure it was the real stuff. No wonder she turned to vodka. She was drunk because of you.

Sheila: Okay. Fine. It’s true. I did it. I’m the one that got brooke to drink, and it’s a damn good thing that I did. You should be on your knees, steffy, thanking me profusely. Because of me, I’m the one that got your father away from brooke. And yet here you stand, lashing out at me, judging me, telling me I will have no place in my son’s life? No! If anything, I just solidified my place in his life, in yours. Don’t tell me… this isn’t what you’ve always wanted. Because we know it’s exactly what you’ve wanted. You’re welcome.

[Sfx: Chicken clucking] Everyone wants to be the cadbury bunny. Cause only he brings delicious cadbury creme eggs. While others may keep trying…

[Sfx: Chicken clucking]

Brooke: I’m not giving up. I know ridge is extremely hurt. But I also know that he still wants to be with me.

Hope: There you go. So have faith in that.

Liam: Yeah. That is what’s gonna get you through, just knowing that you belong together.

Brooke: We do. I pleaded for him to come home.

Hope: And what did he say?

Brooke: Uh, nothing much really. But I could tell he was quite torn about it. For now, he’s staying put, living with steffy and taylor. Steffy is harassing ridge at home, and thomas is harassing ridge at the office. They’re doing everything they possibly can to keep ridge and me apart.

Taylor: Okay. Um, I think–I think everyone knows how I feel. As a matter of fact, I think I’ve been too honest about where I stand on wanting a happy life with your father. But I’ve–I’ve also told steffy and thomas that I think it’s really important that– that you just heal right now, and you don’t know any pressure from anyone. Do you feel pressure from me?

Ridge: I don’T.

Taylor: A little bit?

Ridge: Mm-mmm.

Taylor: No? From the kids?

Ridge: No. Not at all. A thousand times a day maybe.

Thomas: Okay. All right. Maybe we’re a little vocal.

Taylor: A little? A “lottle.”

Thomas: [Laughs]

Ridge: A lottle? Really? A lottle? Yes. With rapid fire.

Taylor: Yes.

Ridge: A lottle.

Taylor: Yes.

Ridge: Wow.

Taylor: So see, thomas, th–this is what it is. I– you have to ease up on all of this. You can’t put any more pressure on us, okay? Seriously, you can’T. ‘Cause we don’t know what’s gonna happen. Your dad could go back to brooke at any time.

Thomas: I know.

Taylor: Do you, though?

Thomas: Yes. Yes. If–if… you and dad decide to make a go of it, and I’m pretty sure that you will, then… he has to want to be with you as much as you wanna be with him and not because steffy and i just said that you guys should be together.

Ridge: Pretty insightful.

Taylor: It is.

Thomas: Well, it’s true.

Taylor: Yes, it’s very true. So, you’re promising us, right? No more parent trap. You won’t do or say anything that could interfere with your dad’s decision about his marriage to brooke.

Steffy: You think I should be thanking you?

Sheila: You wanna see your parents together, don’t you? That’s what’s happening, isn’t it? Is it because of something that–that you or thomas did? No. It’s because of me. Because I took the initiative while you all set around watching your father waste his life away on a drunken slut.

Steffy: You mean alcoholic in recovery who hadn’t been tempted to drink in years until you tricked her to do it.

Sheila: I allowed her the ability to have what she really wanted. I allowed her to stop suppressing her desire to drink, to cheat. And it’s a good thing that I did. Because of brooke’s little slipup, your father is living at your house with your mother. A woman that he has always admired. And it won’t be long before they’re back together again. That’s what I want, steffy. I want that for both of them. I want that for you and thomas, for the children. You deserve to have your family reunited.

Steffy: Why do you even care?

Sheila: Because you’re my family too. I know–I know that you don’T… like to hear that and that you have a hard time dealing with that, but you’ll be able to one day. You’ll be able to accept me the same way that your mother has. She probably hasn’t said anything, but… she’s so wonderful. By giving me… a chance, believing that I’ve changed.

Steffy: No, you haven’T. What you did to brooke proves it. You’re just as dangerous. You are just as manipulative. You will never have a place in our lives. I’m putting an end to this.

Sheila: To what?

Steffy: You. No more stopping by my mom’s office. No more secret meetings with thomas. You’re done, sheila. I never wanna see your face… not ever again. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo, taking release. I have literally tried everything. I was on the verge of getting gastric bypass surgery, and I saw the golo commercial, and it was the last thing I tried ’cause it worked. (Vo) can you spot the cinnamojis in your bowl? For a limited time, try new cinnamoji toast crunch, blasted with cinnamoji faces.

Brooke: Bridget, you didn’t have to call and check on me. I know it’s late in new york.

Bridget: Actually, I just wanted to let you know I’m back in L.A. I’m working out of university hospital for a while to help with restructuring and shortages.

Brooke: Oh, that’s wonderful. It’ll be good to see you.

Bridget: You too. You hanging in there, mom?

Brooke: Yes. Thank you, sweetheart.

Woman: [Speaking on P.A.]

Bridget: Sorry, mom. They’re paging me. I’m gonna have to go.

Brooke: Oh, okay. You go. And just please stop by soon.

Bridget: I will. I promise. Love you, mom.

Brooke: I love you too, sweetheart. Bye, bridget.

[Sighs] Well, your sister’s in town.

Hope: [Gasps] Yes! That means I have backup now. Look, mom, what thomas and steffy do doesn’t even matter. The only thing that matters is ridge’s love for you.

Brooke: What if that’s not enough?

Hope: It is.

Brooke: Even if there’s an outside force working against us?

Liam: Outside force. What are you, uh– what are you referring to?

Brooke: [ Sighs ] I–I don’t know. It’s just this feeling I’m getting, and I can’t shake it. I told eric and ridge about it too.

Hope: What, is it like a feeling like someone’s working against you?

Brooke: [Sighs] I don’t know. Something or someone. Just…this feeling that I’m getting. It’s like ridge and I are up against more than we realize.

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

Steffy: Oh, I do. And when my mother finds out what you’ve done, she’ll say the exact same thing. That kindness–

Sheila: No, you can’t say anything to taylor. You can’t tell anyone why brooke drank.

Steffy: You think I don’t wanna show everyone what a lying, manipulative person you are?

Sheila: Just think of your mom. She wants another chance with ridge after years of standing on the sidelines watching him pursue a pathetic destiny with brooke.

Steffy: Years you took away. You took her away. And now you think you can spike a few drinks and all is forgiven? You really are insane.

Sheila: You want to see them back together again, and thomas does too.

Steffy: How long has he been involved?

Sheila: What?

Steffy: Thomas. Did he help you?

Sheila: No. No, he just found out about it recently. And I told him the same thing I’m telling you right now. Your family can be whole again.

Sheila: You just need to keep quiet. So please, steffy, think of your mother’s happiness and your father’s too. Doesn’t he deserve to be free of brooke?

Steffy: He does, but not like this– not being manipulated into it.

Sheila: Does it really matter?

Steffy: If my parents wanna be back together, it’s because they wanna be back together, not because you did something wrong and sick.

Sheila: I exposed brooke, that’s all.

Steffy: You exposed yourself for the dangerous person that you are. Everyone’s gonna know the truth.

Sheila: No.

Steffy: Any interest of finn having a relationship with you, that you could actually–

Sheila: Just stop, steffy!

Steffy: You are never having a relationship with finn. Never.

Sheila: That is not your decision to make.

Steffy: He is my husband.

Sheila: He is my son. And I’m warning you, don’t do anything to come between finn and me. Not a damn thing! Do you hear me? You keep your mouth shut. Go with simparica trio it’s triple protection made simple! Simparica trio is the first and only monthly chewable that covers heartworm disease, ticks and fleas, round and hookworms.

Taylor: What is it, thomas? What’s–what’s wrong?

Ridge: Is there something you wanna tell us?

Thomas: Well, uh, that you–you still have feelings for mom, which I wasn’t sure about, but, obviously, you do, right?

Ridge: Yeah. What– yeah, of course I do.

Thomas: Yeah.

Ridge: What are you–

Thomas: And I know that you’re still married to brooke. But when I see you two together, I see amazing potential. I see two people that could build an incredibly wonderful life together, and it just seems meant to be.

Hope: Not sure I’m following. Are you suggesting that thomas and steffy are somehow manipulating all of this?

Brooke: It’s just– it’s this overwhelming feeling that I keep getting, that I’m–I’m missing something, that there’s a– a bigger explanation to all of this.

Steffy: You’re warning me? Or do you mean threatening? Because if that’s how you speak to finn’s wife, the mother of his child, how do you expect to make inroads with him?

Sheila: Oh, but that’s just it. You tell me I can’t– I won’t be a part of his life, and yet it’s like you’re baiting me, trying to get me to do things.

Steffy: Show that you haven’t changed? Yeah, whatever works.

Sheila: Just have a little understanding, please. You’ve never given me a chance since I came back to town. You won’t even consider that I might have good intentions, even though your mother was open to that possibility, the one person, out of everyone, who had the right to doubt that I’m reformed.

Steffy: You’re not reformed, sheila. You purposely got an alcoholic to drink.

Sheila: What would you have done? Hmm? Go ahead, steffy. Why don’t you tell me? What would you have done… if you had brooke in your face telling you that she was never going to let you be a part of your son’s life? I couldn’T… let her get in the way, and I won’t let you either.

Steffy: So this is a threat.

Sheila: I didn’t want it to be this way. But finn’s my only hope. He’s the one child that… I could have a future with, a life with. A life that I could have had with you too. I really wanted that, steffy. An opportunity to love you.

Steffy: Who would ever want that from you? Being loved by you is a curse– a curse that finn will never have to know. I will make sure of it. I will make him realize that you’re still a criminal. You’re still as dangerous as ever. You will never be part of our lives. Do you hear me?

Sheila: No! If one of us isn’t meant to be in finn’s life, it’s gonna be you, steffy. You.

[ Police radio chatter ]

Chase: [ Sighs ]

Dante: Oh! There he is. Hey. Good to have you back.

Chase: It’s good to be back in the squad room. I missed this place.

Dante: Did you? You’re not gonna cry, are you?

Chase: No, come on.

Dante: Ha. Do you want me to give you a minute with the desk? Get reacquainted? What’s going on? The suspension’s over? I-I-I’m not in the loop.

Chase: No, I’ve still got 54 days, 11 hours, and…33 minutes. But who’s counting? I’m only here because I volunteered to organize this year’s community softball league. I should be fully reinstated in time to play.

Dante: Oh, that’s nice of you. I mean, uh, we’ll be looking forward to having you back on the team and the force. And if it was up to me, you would have been reinstated just for what you did for helping out Maxie’s baby.

Chase: Oh, I just helped out a little bit at the end. Brook Lynn’s the real hero.


Lawyer: Everything is in order. All that’s left to do is take this to the stock exchange. I’ll be in touch.

Lucy: Okay. Thank you so much for your time. We appreciate it. And of course, we will be waiting. Okay, take care, see you soon, bye. Thank you. [ Inhales deeply ] [ Screams ] Oh, my goodness! It’s happening. We did it. I am so proud of all of us. All our hard work we did together. You guys, we are such a team, and I just cannot wait to celebrate all our accomplishments at the IPO launch party. Yes.

Maxie: That’s coming up April 5th.

Brook Lynn: Oh, right.

Lucy: Right. Okay. Okay. [ Exhales deeply ] Focus. When we hear from the lawyer, while we wait, let’s just finalize everything. Okay. Wait. Guest list, refreshments, the food and drink, and the entertainment, and then let the fun begin.

Maxie: Yeah!

Lucy: Wooh!


Brando: [ Chuckles ] You mean that PB&J sandwich with stale bread didn’t do it for you?

Sasha: [ Laughs ]

Brando: Hmm. I guess that is the downside of having an extended honeymoon. No groceries.

Sasha: I can live with that.

Brando: Yeah, me too. You know, I-I really loved our time away, but it is nice to be back as husband and wife.

Sasha: I’m not ready to give up our honeymoon vibe yet. I love it when it’s just you and me.


Portia: He’s late.

Curtis: By one minute.

Portia: Hmm. Yeah. I just don’t know about this. What if he’s not the right fit for Trina? We have no idea.

Curtis: Baby, we’ll never know unless we talk to him. Now, Laura hooked us up, and she said he would know what to do, and I trust her. So let’s just give it a chance. And I know everything will work out. And I’m sure Trina’s in good hands.

[ Knock on door ]

Scott: Oh, hi. Sorry I’m late. The elevator was chock full of people. Hi, Curtis. Scott Baldwin at your service.


Trina: Did you just ask me why I did it? You know I didn’t!

Spencer: I was ready to believe that it was Esme.

Trina: You knew that I’m not capable of doing something like this.

Spencer: I thought so. But there is evidence. And it points to you.


Victor: Ah, Nikolas, glad I found you. We need to talk about Spencer.

Nikolas: Later. Did you see Esme outside?

Victor: Uh, as a matter of fact, I did. As I was pulling in, another car was pulling out. I saw Esme in the back seat.

Nikolas: Who was driving? Which way did they go?

Victor: Well, I-I couldn’t tell. I didn’t think it was unusual. Although, I must say, it did seem like an expensive ride-share for someone with such limited means. What — why are you worried?

Nikolas: I was asking Esme about the video and Spencer. She got really upset. She was keeping something from me. And then she told me that she needed air, but that she would be right back.

Victor: Well, perhaps she felt better and left.

Nikolas: But why? Why would she just take off without a word? I mean, she was obviously holding something back.

Victor: Well, that she most certainly is. Esme could be carrying the next Cassadine heir.


Sonny: Thank you for coming.

Esme: I didn’t have much of a choice.

Sonny: I’m — you know, I’m sorry about my — my associate. He’s — he’s kind of rough around the edges. He doesn’t come from the school of social graces. He’s kind of the — a man of action. I hope he didn’t frighten you.

Esme: Actually, he did.

Sonny: Well, that wasn’t my intention. I just wanted you to come here so we could chat.

Esme: I don’t know why you’d want to chat with me.

Sonny: Oh, I think you do.

Esme: Spence?

Sonny: This is about what you did to my stepdaughter Josslyn.


Maxie: Okay, we really need to finalize music selections and book the artists.

Lucy: Yep, and I happen to have some inspired live performance ideas.

Maxie: Where are we gonna get talent on such short notice?

Lucy: Uh, hello? Lucy Coe, mistress of ceremonies of The Nurses’ Ball.

Brook Lynn: Yeah, but this is the Deception IPO.

Lucy: Yeah, and I happen to be senior equity partner of Deception, and I am just going to ask all the people that I asked to sing for The Nurses’ Ball to sing for our company. Okay? Starting with Amy and Chase.

Brook Lynn: Yeah, about that —

Lucy: Listen, Amy will love it. You know, she is a sucker for the spotlight. So, did you get a chance to ask Chase to sing?

Brook Lynn: So the thing is that I —

Lucy: No, you’re not hearing me. We need him to sing. So why didn’t you nail him down when he happened to be by here the other day?

Brook Lynn: So…

[ Knock on door ]

Gladys: Am I interrupting anything? Are you guys still talking about the IPO?

Lucy: Uh. Yes on both questions.

Brook Lynn: Gladys, what do you want?

Gladys: Stock options. Especially now that Sasha is my daughter-in-law, I’d like to revisit having a personal stake in the company.

Lucy: Ha! Really? So, see, around here, we don’t hand out shares based on nepotism. Oh, you know what, though? If you want to prove your worth to our company, you know what you could do? You could go get us all lunch. And I would love a Caesar salad with lots and lots of little croutons. Brook Lynn needs me here.

Brook Lynn: Actually, I don’t. I’ll take a chicken pasta salad.

Maxie: Make that two.

Lucy: Okay. Two chicken pasta salads and that Caesar. Lots of little tiny croutons. Thank you. See you soon. Bye-bye. Ta.

[ Door closes ]

Lucy: Oh, good grief. Okay, enough of the distractions. We really, really have a million things to do, right? We — we got to get on this, and the first thing is, you have got to get Chase to sing. Go talk to him.

Brook Lynn: I’m sorry, guys, but the answer is no.


Dante: You know, I-I gotta hand it to Brook Lynn. I mean, I knew she could scheme with the best of them, but this is next-level-type stuff. She didn’t even get anything out of this.

Chase: Well, that’s what I mean. Brook Lynn went into it for the wrong reasons but wound up doing everything right.

Dante: Yeah. Who would have thought that faking a pregnancy would turn out to be a noble gesture?

Chase: She thought she was looking out for her family.

Dante: Yeah, I know, but t-that’s Brook Lynn for you right there. She’s a walking contradiction. I mean, I told you, we grew up together. As kids, she — she even then had this heart underneath all the selfish pranks she used to pull.

Chase: People grow up.

Dante: Well, hopefully she did. I mean, hopefully that’s — that’s what this is and not just a one-off. And then the real Brook Lynn, the old-school selfish Brook Lynn just comes back out again.

Chase: Well, you know what? Brook Lynn today is kind and caring, and I don’t like you talking about her like this.

Dante: Whoa. Whoa, where’s this coming from? You’re the one who told me you couldn’t trust her.


Brando: We are getting our food to go.

Sasha: Thanks, husband.

Brando: Ooh. I love it when you call me that.

Sasha: I love it when you call me you wife. So, we’re doing this?

Brando: Yes, definitely. And since no one knows we’re in town yet, we can just try and ease our way back into reality. Um, but there are a few things that we do need to talk about immediately now that we’re married.


Scott: So, let me say this. I-I’m sorry that this happened to Trina. I’ve reviewed the case, and, yeah, I-it’s a doozy.

Portia: My daughter didn’t do the things that she was charged with, Mr. Baldwin. And I know that people probably say that to you all the time, but she didn’t. She — she just could never. It’s not her.

Scott: Okay, so if you want me to say that I believe her, I do. I really do. So I got a guy in the DA’s office, so I know what the evidence is, and the burden of proof is on the prosecution. And this case is loaded with opportunities to cast reasonable doubt.


Spencer: The whole time you were trying to convince me that the sex tape was Esme’s fault, you had that phone with that video.

Trina: I’ve never seen that phone before. Someone set me up.

Spencer: You mean Esme?

Trina: That’s the only thing that makes sense.

Spencer: How did she do it?

Trina: I don’t know. How does she do half the stuff she’s done? She’s figured it out somehow.

Spencer: We weren’t at the cabin when that video was taken, but I was there long enough to know that you were really drunk and mad about Joss and Esme.

Trina: I don’t remember being mad at Joss.

Spencer: That’s exactly right. You don’t remember what you did or didn’t do. But Esme was next to me pretty much all the time. So when would she have had the time to frame you?

Trina: Are you really trying to accuse me of this?

Spencer: Look, I’m not judging you. I’ve done enough that I’m in no position to do that. I’m just trying to understand.

Trina: Understand this. I didn’t do it.

Spencer: I want to believe you.

Trina: Then why can’t you?!


Nikolas: Esme might be pregnant?

Victor: Yeah, Spencer said they don’t know for certain yet.

Nikolas: That would explain why she’s been so emotional. She’s dealing with a lot right now.

Victor: Yeah, I heard about the breakup.

Nikolas: Obviously, Spencer knows. How is he dealing with all of this?

Victor: Well, he’s pretty shaken up, as you can imagine. That’s why I came to find you. If Esme is indeed pregnant, then that baby will be a Cassadine. They’re both going to need our support.

Nikolas: Maybe we should talk about this some place more private. I’m just gonna call Esme and make sure she got back to Kelly’s all right.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Victor: What do you got there?

Nikolas: This is Esme’s phone.


Esme: I haven’t done anything to Joss.

Sonny: You know what you did, and you’re gonna make it right.

Esme: W-wait, is this about that unfortunate video of Joss and cam?

Sonny: [ Snaps fingers ] Got it.

Esme: The PCPD arrested someone for that. It — it wasn’t me.

Sonny: You know, I have very good instincts, and they’re telling me that Trina Robinson wouldn’t do that.

Esme: You’ve never been wrong?

Sonny: Never. And your name is being tossed around a lot.

Esme: It’s no secret that Joss and I don’t get along, but I would never do that to her. Please. You have to believe me!

Sonny: Don’t do that. There’s no need for that. I called you here ’cause I want to know the truth.

Esme: I am telling the truth. What have I done to you that would make you think the worst of me?

Sonny: You don’t remember the hospital? When you lied to me?


Esme: If you mean the time I mistakenly told you that Nikolas and Ava were taking Avery out of the country —

Sonny: Yeah, that’s it.

Esme: That was a misunderstanding. One I regretted.

Sonny: Why? Because it led to the truth about what you did to Ava a-and Nikolas?

Esme: Because I didn’t mean for anything bad to happen to your daughter.

Sonny: Now you’re lying to my face. You and Spencer meant every horrible thing that was done to Ava. And then to reach your goals, you involved my daughter twice. Once with the — with the teddy bear. And the other time when — when you lied that Nikolas and Ava left with — with my daughter.

Esme: I mean, I regret the things that Spence and I did, but I-I apologized to you. Didn’t you forgive me?

Sonny: Yeah, I did.

Esme: But you didn’t forget.

Sonny: I have a long memory, especially when somebody hurts my family. And now you’ve hurt Josslyn. [ Whispering ] Let’s save everybody a lot of time. And just admit you were behind the sex tape.


Spencer: I believed you when it was your word against Esme’s. What you say means a lot to me. But now there is evidence.

Trina: Which was planted, because, like I keep telling you, Esme set me up.

Spencer: Esme and I have been through a lot.

Trina: Then you should know what she’s capable of.

Spencer: Yes, and I’ve seen the worst in her. But I was the instigator when she did those… things. She thought that she was helping me because she loved me.

Trina: See, the difference between me and Esme is that I would never… I could never intentionally hurt a person.

Spencer: You’ve done things for me you wouldn’t normally do. Like lie. If I stoked those impulses in Esme, maybe I did the same to you.


Chase: Okay, yeah, Brook Lynn has done some shady things, but people do change, and it’s hard when everyone keeps dredging up who they used to be. But I was there during some of the toughest times. She was taking heat from all sides, and I saw how it affected her. And she kept on protecting Bailey.

Dante: Aha. See, I was right. You — you do have feelings for her.

Chase: We went through something significant together. And I know that Brook Lynn is more than what you’re saying.

Dante: Hey, look, man, I didn’t mean anything by it. But that’s the beauty of a real friend, they see you for who you are, and they like you anyway.

Chase: Just give Brook Lynn a little more credit. That’s all I’m saying.


Brook Lynn: I can’t ask Chase to do the duet. I feel like I’d be taking advantage of our friendship.

Lucy: What? Wait a minute! This is the same guy who pretended to be a father who wasn’t a father all to help you protect Maxie’s baby. This — this is just a teeny, tiny little favor in comparison.

Maxie: Okay, wait, lucy. I see Brook Lynn’s point. We owe Chase for everything he’s done already. So let’s explore other options.

Lucy: What?! What good are friends if you can’t guilt them into singing for your company? Come on. I have guilted tons of people over my li– never mind. Never you mind. I give up for a moment. Maxie, I need you to talk some sense into yourself, then talk sense into this one. I need gummies! And I’m gonna go get them.

[ Door opens, closes ]

Brook Lynn: Thank you.

Maxie: Not a problem. Now that it’s just the two of us, what’s your deal? Do you not want Chase around?

Brook Lynn: That’s not it. It’s the exact opposite.


Sasha: What needs our attention? Should I be worried?

Brando: Well, I hope not. I just wanted to point out that we’re married and we don’t live together.

Sasha: Yeah, well, we should figure that out. But let’s just enjoy being married for now.

Brando: Okay. It’s not like we do things in the right order.

Sasha: Look, I-I know that our relationship has been a little unorthodox, but I’m happy where we are now.

Brando: Me too.

Sasha: So let’s just enjoy this feeling a little longer.

Gladys: Brando, you’re back! I missed you so much.

Brando: Mm-hmm.

Glady: [ Sighs ] Hello, Sasha. You’re looking well. If I’d known you were coming back, I would have asked for the day off from work.

Sasha: It’s probably best you didn’t. I’m sure deception is busy with the IPO.

Gladys: Oh, yes. Oh, oh. It’s all anyone is talking about. And since what’s Sasha’s is yours now, you’ll be living on easy street. You can retire early.

Brando: Ma, come on. I’m keeping the garage.

Gladys: Have it your way. But you’ll need somewhere to work on all the cars you’ll be collecting. But look, I got to put in this lunch order. Do not go anywhere. I want to hear all about the honeymoon.

Brando: Too late to make a run for it.

Sasha: So much for easing back into reality.


Victor: Are you sure that’s Esme’s phone?

Nikolas: I saw it earlier.

Victor: Well, perhaps she dropped it.

Nikolas: No, Esme would need her phone for the updates with the ride-share. She’d notice if she didn’t have it, and she would have come back for it by now.

Victor: Well, maybe she caught a ride with a friend.

Nikolas: No, Esme told me she doesn’t have any friends. She said everyone blames her for the sex tape.

Victor: Oh, yeah, I read about that. Carly Corinthos’ daughter, right?

Nikolas: Sonny? What about him?

Esme: He’s had it in for me ever since I stretched the truth about you and Ava leaving town with Avery.

Nikolas: We have to go.

Victor: Go where?

Nikolas: Sonny Corinthos has her.


Maxie: Explain, please. You want Chase around, but you don’t want him to sing at the IPO launch party because of Amy?

Brook Lynn: Because of me and my feelings.

Maxie: Oh, now we’re getting somewhere.

Brook Lynn: [ Sighs ]

Maxie: See, I knew something was going on because you were acting really weird around him the other day. This is why you hustled him out of here and didn’t want to talk to him about singing the duet.

Brook Lynn: Look, Chase has made it clear that he just wants to be friends, so I have to keep my distance until, you know, I can get a handle on my feelings, get back to the friend zone. So I really don’t want to be asking Chase for any favors right now. I don’t even want to see him at the launch party, to be honest.

Lucy: Chase! Just the man I wanted to see. Isn’t that funny how the cosmos works? You put the energy out there, and then there you are.


Gradys: Well, at least you had a nice honeymoon, considering you got married out of the blue. Um, and the rings aren’t bad, though I might have gone for something a little flashier.

Brando: I picked them out, and I was lucky to find a jewelry store nearby.

Gladys: Yeah. Yeah. Like buying that garage you got married in.

Brando: Ma.

Gladys: Listen, I gave you my blessing, and I meant it. Believe me, I only want what’s best for you both.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Brando: Oh. I need to take this. I’ll be right back.

Gladys: Now that it’s just us girls, let me tell you how I really feel about this elopement.


Scott: I will have witnesses testifying to Trina’s stellar character and lack of motive. Cameron and Josslyn, I’ll get them. They should have significant sway.

Curtis: Okay. But first, I think we have to get through the arraignment. What’s that look like?

Scott: Well, it could go two ways. The best is that they waive bail because there’s no priors. The worst is they take it up a notch, you know, to a high profile because of Josslyn’s stepfather. But it still comes down to Trina’s character, which is really great. I mean, she at PCU, 4.0. She’s got a job. Teachers love her. You know, a lot of friends. And your reputation as Chief of Internal Medicine.

Portia: I see you’ve definitely done your homework, Mr. Baldwin.

Scott: I see Cameron as my grandson, so I would never represent anybody that would do this to him.

Curtis: Uh, well, we should get to the arraignment. Can’t be late.

Scott: Yeah, you’re right. Judges do not like it when you’re late. So I’ll see you there.

Curtis: Well, feel better about him?

Portia: We, uh… we better get going.

Curtis: Whoa, whoa. Hold up. Are you okay?

Portia: [ Voice breaking ] I will be. I will be after all of this is over. But it’s just — I just need to stay strong for Trina right now. [ Sighs ]

Curtis: Okay. Look, look, look. I know everything’s gonna be okay, all right? But I need you to know that whatever happens, I’ve got you.

Portia: Mm-hmm.


Trina: I knew you were self-centered, but this — this is next level. I may have gone against my instincts and my principles by covering for you, but that does not compare to making a sex tape of Joss and Cameron, my best friends, and posting it. I would never do that to anyone for any reason.

Spencer: But you were drunk, Trina, and you admitted to a lot of buried feelings about Joss and Cam being together.

Trina: How can you even consider that I did this? I had faith in you when everyone told me that you didn’t deserve it. All I had was a gut feeling that you were a good guy deep down. Where’s that good guy now? Was I wrong all along?

Spencer: It’s not that simple for me.

Trina: You know the truth in your heart. But you just don’t want to see it. You’re still blind to Esme — after everything she’s done.

Spencer: Everything she’s done has been for me and my family.


Maxie: Chase, it is so good to see you. What brings you by?

Chase: I’m following up with H.R. About the softball league to get the charity donation set up.

Maxie: Oh, man. They’re out today. Recruitment event.

Lucy: Yeah, but boy, oh, boy, are we glad you showed up.

Maxie: You know, Chase, on your way in, did you happen to see Gladys Corbin?

Chase: Uh, no.

Maxie: Typical Gladys. Lucy, why don’t we go to the restaurant and look for her? And if she’s not there, we can have a working lunch.

Lucy: Well, no, but I-I would really like to a–

Maxie: It’ll be great, and after, I’ll get you some gummies.

[ Door closes ]

Chase: What was that all about?

Brook Lynn: Oh. You know Lucy. She probably just wants to change the color of the softball jerseys or something.

Chase: Are you gonna play?

Brook Lynn: I haven’t really thought about it.

Chase: You should. Be fun seeing you around the diamond.

Brook Lynn: Yeah?

Chase: Yeah.

Brook Lynn: [ Sighs ] Actually, um… Lucy wants to get some singers to perform at the launch party. You remember that duet I wrote? I’d really love for you to sing it…with Amy. Plus, it’d be really fun to see you there. So what do you say?


Trina: What do you mean, your family? Your father? Because Esme sure hasn’t done a thing for Nikolas and Ava.

Spencer: I mean the Cassadines. My family. Esme is included in that.

Trina: How? By pushing her way into it?

Spencer: No, she’s a part of it now because she — because she might be carrying my child.

Trina: Esme might be pregnant with your baby? Hmm. That explains why you have to see the best in her. And the worst in me.

Spencer: Trina, you have to understand.

Trina: Here’s what I understand. From the moment I met you, my life has gotten worse. So many times, I looked the other direction when I shouldn’t have to protect you. And now I’m arrested because of your girlfriend’s lies! And you want me to understand? I understand that you should know me better than that. So if you can’t look me in my eyes and tell me you know I had nothing to do with this, then I’m done. I’m through! We have nothing left to say to each other.

Spencer: I, uh…

Trina: You should go check on Esme. You two deserve each other.

Spencer: Trina.

Trina: Leave!

Officer: Time to go. Come with me.


Sonny: Neither of us are going anywhere until you tell me the truth.

Esme: I have told you. I didn’t do it.

Sonny: Okay. You hungry? You want something to eat?

Esme: You can’t keep me here forever.

Sonny: You know, I’ve had my share of regrets. Um…choices I can’t take back. But it doesn’t define you. You can step up right now, take responsibility for your actions, make amends to the people who you have hurt, and just move forward.

Esme: Some things you can’t make up for.

Sonny: True. The people you’ve hurt are not obligated to, uh, forgive you. And sometimes you can’t make it right by them. But you know what? You keep working on that. You know why? To better yourself for you and the people that are going to come into your life. You’ve played games with Avery, Ava, and Nikolas. And now… you’ve hurt Josslyn and Cam. There’s a young woman sitting behind bars right now. You can make it right. All you gotta do… is confess.

Sonny’s Associate: Where do you think you’re going?

Nikolas: I need see to Sonny.

Sonny’s Associate: He’s busy.

Nikolas: Yeah, I’ll bet.

Victor: Hey, take your hands off my nephew.

Nikolas: Where is she?

Esme: Help me!


Sasha: I don’t expect you to understand why we eloped, but that is what felt right in the moment.

Gladys: That is my concern right there — “in the moment.” Marriage is a big step. You two went on that trip to deal with some pretty weighty issues in your relationship, and you came back married. Just doesn’t seem like you thought it through.


Dante: Trina’s in the interrogation room.

Portia: Oh, you really have some nerve showing up here after what that vile girlfriend of yours did to my daughter.


Chase: So, that’s why lucy was fawning over me. The last time that happened, I was in the men’s locker room just out of the shower.

Brook Lynn: What?

Chase: The first time that she recruited me for The Nurses’ Ball. She basically ambushed me. I had to say yes. It was the only way I could get dressed.

Brook Lynn: Right. Well, um, we all know what a great singer you are because of how great of a success you’ve been at the nurses’ ball.

Chase: Look, I’m — I’m flattered, but I’m not a performer. The only reason I sing at The Nurses’ Ball is ’cause it’s for charity.

Brook Lynn: Making people feel beautiful may not fit into the definition of charity, but it’s still worthwhile. Remember you even said that what we do here at Deception is interesting.

Chase: Look, my suspension is up in a few months. I kind of have to keep up appearances. Singing for — for charity, it’s — it’s one thing, but I don’t know how it would look to sing for a cosmetics company.

Brook Lynn: It’s fine. I get it. You have an image to maintain. You don’t fit into my world.


Sasha: Our decision to get married was spur of the moment. But Brando and I talked it through, and we know that it’s the right decision. I love Brando so much more than I thought was possible. You raised a good son, Gladys, and I promise you I am gonna make him happy. I can already see being married to you makes Brando happy. I just don’t want him getting hurt. And I can’t deny we’ve had issues. But he means everything to me.

Brando: Look who I found.

Lucy: There she is — a married lady. Congratulations.

Sasha: Thank you.

Lucy: Oh, I’m so happy.

Maxie: Yeah, I should be mad at you for not letting me plan your wedding, but I’m just to happy for you.

Sasha: Oh, thank you. We’re pretty happy ourselves.

Lucy: Mm, I bet. Hey, listen, the launch party is on track. But after we celebrate the IPO and Deception’s fabulous future, we are gonna throw another fabulous, big, huge party for both of you.

Maxie: Yes! A “happy marriage” party. We’ll go all out. Everyone will be there.

Gladys: Now we’re talking.

Brando: Thank you guys so much. That’s very generous.

Sasha: Totally not necessary.

Maxi: Nonsense. Getting married is a big deal. It deserves to be celebrated properly.

Sasha: But we are already married.

Lucy: So who cares? It’ll be great.

Brando: Yeah. I’ll take any excuse to celebrate my beautiful new wife.

Sasha: Well, when you put it like that, how can I say no?


Dante: Are we gonna have a problem here, Spencer?

Spencer: No, sir.

Dante: Good. Do you want to go see Trina now?

Curtis: Portia?

Portia: Yeah, I’m fine. I don’t have time to deal with you today ’cause my daughter needs me.

Curtis: Let’s go. I’ll, uh… I’ll give you a minute.

Portia: Okay.

Dante: Uh, you know what, Spencer? On second thought, there’s nothing really for you to do here. In fact, I think you’d be making things worse. So why don’t you help out Trina and her mom and get out of here?

Portia: Oh, baby, I’m sorry you’re going through this.

[ Door closes ]

Portia: But I want you to remember that you’re gonna be home in just a little while. And Scott Baldwin is your lawyer. He believes in you. He believes in your case. And when you walk into that courtroom, I want you to walk up there with your chin up. You hear me? And your head held high.

Trina: [ Voice breaking ] I didn’t do it, mom.

Portia: Oh, baby, I know you didn’t. The truth is gonna come out.


Nikolas: Esme! Sonny, you let her go!

Esme: [ Sobbing ]

Nikolas: Are you okay? Esme, are you okay? Sonny, what the hell?

Sonny: We were just talking. Esme, if you want to say anything, you know where to find me.

Nikolas: That’s enough, Sonny.

Sonny: [ Chuckles ] Okay. We’re done.

Victor: Oh, I don’t think so. You and I are just getting started.


Lucy: Once deception is officially public, we are gonna focus all our time and attention on a great, big, wonderful wedding party. Oh, wow, I just realized folks are gonna flip out when they find out the face of deception is married.

Maxie: Are you okay?

Sasha: [ Sighs ] Just a long day of traveling.

Maxie: Are you sure? I’m fine, yeah. I — I’m fantastic. I have the perfect husband, super thoughtful friends. Why don’t you guys catch me up on the IPO? I missed so much. Okay. Have a seat.

Lucy: Yeah, yeah. Thanks. Here you go.

Maxie: Thank you.

Brando: You’re welcome.

Sasha: Excuse me a moment.

Brando: Uh…

Gladys: She sure bolted out of here.

Brando: Yeah, I-I think you guys just surprised us. She’s probably a little overwhelmed with everything. But, uh, don’t worry. You know, Sasha can take care of herself.

Sasha: Siena, hi. It’s Sasha. Yeah. Yeah. I need something to get me through. How soon can you meet?


Chase: I-I really didn’t mean to imply anything negative about you or your job.

Brook Lynn: No, it’s fine. I understand where you’re coming from. You’re — you’re a cop, not a singer. You want to focus on getting off suspension and getting back out on the job. I get it.

Chase: So we’re good?

Brook Lynn: Yeah, of course. Look, I better get back to work. I promised Maxie that I’d run some of these numbers. Just shut the door on your way out, okay?

Chase: Okay. See ya.


Scott: We all set?

Dante: It’s time to go.

Curtis: How you holding up?

Trina: I’m okay. Thanks.

Curtis: You’re better than okay. You’re a champ. Now, come on, let’s go.


Nikolas: [ Sighs ] Are you sure you’re okay? Only because of you. I mean, you saved me. I can’t thank you enough.


Victor: I’m putting you on notice, Mr. Corinthos. Stay away from my family.

Sonny: Spencer is my family, too. And, uh, what happens to him or if anybody influences him in any way, it concerns me, especially if they’re coming after my family.

Victor: You’ve been warned.

Sonny: Really?

Victor: The Cassadines always come out on top one way or another. Keep harassing my family, and you’ll learn that the hard way.

Sonny: I have faced down men a lot more intimidating than you, and I’m still standing. So if you want to take the first shot, believe me, I will finish the fight.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Spencer (to Esme): Why haven’t you taken that home pregnancy test yet?

Ava (to Joss and Cam): I know it’s difficult for you to trust me, but this time you’re gonna have to.

Scott: I’m gonna have to hear you say it.

Alexis: Oh, I never forget a face.

Nina (to Harmony): Michael and Willow want a fight, they’ll get a fight.

Brick (to Sonny): My brother, that’s not for you.

Trina: I plead…

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I don’t know how much longer I can do this. Sheila, keeping your secret doesn’t feel right and will you just write it out because it’s a means to an end. Thomas, what you did is despicable switching champagne labels to get Brooke drunk. She’s an alcoholic, but you knew that you did it anyway. You traded Brook’s Sobriety for a future with your.

Come on this. This is, this has a lot more to do when with just Finn, I did this for you, for your parents. I don’t wanna hear that, Sheila, that you did this for me and my mom and my sister. Like this is some selfless act. It’s not. You wanted a family with your son and what about Brooke? What about Brooke and my dad?

Don’t they deserve to know the truth? Brooke would not have kissed Deacon on New Year’s Eve if she wasn’t wasted. And the only reason for that is because you orchestrated the whole thing. I want you to think very carefully about this, Thomas. You say a word to anyone and you can kiss your family’s future.

Goodbye. What good is reuniting my family? If it’s built on a packet of lies,

you gotta stop. I can’t stop rich. This is consuming me. You’ve gotta stop beating yourself up. I need to know why I dranked that night. I can’t move forward with my life until.

Got a bad night. Yeah. You want yourself, I don’t even know who that person was. You don’t have to know. You’re never gonna meet her. . That’s why you have sponsors. That’s why you go to meetings. Leave the past in the past. Stop torturing yourself, please. I’m afraid to look into the future without you in it.

Logan Bridge. We’ve overcome so much. We’ve come so far. So why would I do this? Why would I hurt and try to destroy our marriage like that? I wouldn’t do that. Don’t you see? Come on. There’s something going on here. Something else. I don’t know what it is, but I have this feeling it’s something or someone working against us.

It’s already done. Thomas, we’re at the finish line. Just bite your tongue. It’s not already done. This is a lie by omission. Okay. And lies eat you from the inside out. Yeah. Well, there’s something else you need to know, Thomas, about our little meeting in the alley. Uh, I, um, actually can’t talk right now. I gotta go, okay.

You better doesn’t want everything for me. I not lose my relationship with my son,

Finn. How good I thought you might be down with a patient. This is a nice surprise. I’m expect to see my gorgeous. What something wrong? I don’t, no, I, I don’t, I don’t even know what to say. No. The kids, the kids are fine. I just, I don’t even know where we begin. What, what happened? It’s your mother, Sheila.

She’s back to her old manipulative ways.

Are you sure that you weren’t just trying to see dad again? . I’m kidding. I’m not actually, I’m not . Ugh. You and stuff. We just want you to be happy. I know that you wanna see us together and you want that too, right? Of course, of course. If, if the circumstances were right, but at the moment, they’re, they’re not.

Right.

You’ve made Dad so happy and you guys seem perfect together, and his relationship with Brooke, it’s never been the healthiest. I mean, it is. Toxic almost since day one. She’s heard him over and over again. I’m not just talking about the most recent incident, I’m talking about all the things that she did in the past.

Oh, I know. This has gone on for such a long time. And this most recent situation, you know, Brooke, kissing Deacon and Deacon sleeping over and her lying about the whole night. It was, it was Brooke defending Deacon that sent her dad over the edge. and a as it stands, you know, even though your dad says that he wants to come home, Brooke is your father’s wife.

You and I had disagreements about Deacon when he came back into our lives. I thought we reached a middle ground and we were doing it for hope. For my daughter, for her sake. But then of course I messed up and I did what I did and I, I didn’t realize how weak and pathetic I, you’re not any of those things.

You’re one of the strongest people I know. And as far as that night, I think that is something that both of us would like to disappear, but it won’t. No, it won’t. We just have to move forward and we can do that because we were happy. We were content with our lives rich. We had everything we ever wanted.

And then this feeling just kind of started creeping in this feeling of evil. I don’t even know how to describe. This force that started taking over, and I’m telling you, my gut kept saying, well, I was screaming at me actually to keep digging, keep on searching for the answers, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

You know, no matter how hard you try, you’re never gonna be able to clean up that mess. That is your life. Okay? In the spirit of brevity, what’s going on? I’ve been so patient, deacon, coming to la, staying in that hotel, I hoping for a real relationship with my son, a, a chance to connect with my son and my grandson being what they want me to be.

What’s getting. You know, I, I remember this woman, she looked a lot like you who said, I always get what I want. And what happened to that plucky, albeit evil genius, where did she go? you two make me laugh, but things aren’t going quite as planned, and I’m really starting to wonder if I’m even gonna have a future with Finn as long as he’s married to.

What are you talking about? My suspicions about Thomas, right? Yeah. You said he’s not acting like himself. Yeah, and then I found him talking to Sheila in the alley behind El Jino. Uh, Stephanie, I think he’s just being, he’s being protective. He’s trying to look out for you guy. No, that’s not what it’s about.

It’s not that he wasn’t telling Sheila to keep her distance from us. Okay. Then what were they doing? I mean, what? What are you getting at? I knew it. I knew something was going on that Sheila was stirring the pod, trying to become BFFs with my mom showing up at her work. I told her to stop doing that. It’s like she’s been plotting this the whole time.

Finn, I even want to know your mom attacked Brooke. What? Yeah, Brooks, new Year’s Eve, the booze, kissing deacon, inviting deacon into my father’s bed. That was all set in motion by your mother.

I must have done something right in this life to have raised such wonderful kids. You’ve always been there for us. And if there’s a chance that we could do something for you, I’m sure Stephanie would agree, I we would do anything for you. Thomas, you have grown into such a wonderful, caring, honest young man.

I love you and dad so much, and I, I just want to do what’s best for you. I hate to see you like, I thought you’d be better off without me, but I was wrong. I, I miss you all the time. I’m concerned about you. Oh, I can’t get rid of this feeling. You know, it’s kind of like a loop going round and around my head 24 hours a day, and I just can’t stop thinking about what I did to you and how I hurt you.

Can you do me a favor? Can you try not to lose sight of who you are in all this things you’ve done in your life? Things you’ve accomplished, but my life means nothing to me without you in it. You have to know that I’m not gonna give up on this rich, I want you to come home. I never should have said you free.

I never should have said that I was gonna give you a divorce. We will survive this some. Some way we will find our way back to each other.

Sheila Sabotage, Brooke, just slow down. Okay. What does my mom have to do with New Year’s Eve? Sheila changed the labels on the bottles. Brooke thought she was having non-alcoholic champagne, but she was actually drinking the real stuff, and I think that’s what caused her to start doing shots of vodka.

Brooke, who’s an alcoholic, like obviously I’m not the biggest fan of Brooke, but what your mother did is sick and evil, and that just proves that she hasn’t changed. Who told you? I like, how do you even know that this is true? I overheard Thomas talking to Sheila on the phone. I, I don’t know how he found out, but he’s been keeping this a secret and I, I think that he wanted to tell my dad in Brooke, but Sheila is trying to get him to stay silent.

Okay. This, this is sounding insane. I, why would Sheila do that? To br for what purpose? I, I, I’m not sure. All I know is that, She wants to be part of your life. She wants to be welcomed in her family, but that is not happening now. We have to stay away from her. This just proves that Sheila cannot be trusted.

Have you talked to your brother about this? No. No. I I was eavesdropping. He was still on the phone with was Sheila when I left. Okay. Look, I, I have a patient being rushed to the icu. Stephanie, look, you have every reason to be upset, and I’m hoping that this is just some big misunderstanding and that you’re wrong about Sheila.

I mean, I love you.

Stuffy. Are you available to. Well, it depends. Are you ready to show your mother-in-law a little respect? Because our last conversation was anything but but fuzzy and and inviting. I need to speak with you. It’s important. Where are you?

I’m at El Zinos. As a matter of fact, I’ll be right there.

Yeah. You and dad have been, uh, apart for all the wrong reasons. You’ve been separated for too long. We’re just, we’re finding each other again. It’s been, it’s been really nice though, you know, spending time with him and the grandkids making breakfast together. Yeah. Well, we are always gonna have that, though.

You’re always gonna have our family together. You, you have your kids, right. And our kids. , you want more right now. Your dad needs to heal. You know? So whatever, whatever happens is, is gonna happen. Um, now you have the opportunity to be a couple again, and if things keep going the way they are, well then you can end up together and have the life you’ve always wanted.

Yeah. And we will just see how everything works out, won’t we? Thank you for believing in us.

I can’t imagine that there’s anything in the world that you wouldn’t do to make sure your father and I end up together.

I will prove my loyalty to you, rich. I’m gonna show you that I’m not that woman that I turned into that night. I wanna be somebody that you could be proud of.

If you could see yourself the way that I see you, even for one second, you are and always will be the love of my life. There’s no way I’m ever gonna let anybody or anything come between us.

Yeah, I made a mess with us, but I also believe that I have the power to fix. And that’s exactly what I’m gonna hold onto.

Just keep quiet and you’re going to have the happily ever after the family that you have always dreamed of. Grandma loves you sweetheart.

I warn for not to come between me and my son, I will be in Finn’s life for many more years to come. What’s that? Oh, nothing. Can I get you another Uhuh?

Stuffy. I’m, I’m really happy that you reached out to me again. I, if you reconsidered I did you find a, a small place in that big heart of yours for me? You know, Sheila, the whole drive over here. I was thinking about what I wanted to say to you. The question of you being part of our lives. I know that’s something that you’ve wanted since returning to Los Angeles, more than you will ever know, and it will be really nice for my kids to be close to their grandmother for Finn to have a real connection to his roots.

You say that you are a different person now. Everything that I do now is for the greater good. I had a hard time believing that in the.

And I still do because now I see you are worse than ever. Oh my gosh. Are we really doing this again? No more games. I know what you did.

I’m done with this. I’m not done with you

alone. God, you’re not going anywhere. You both of me. What the hell do you think you’re doing? You claim to be this reformed woman. You said you put your devious ways behind you. I have. No you haven’t. You are the same twisted sociopath You have always been. Attacking Brooke on New Year’s Eve. She is an alcoholic.

You got her a drink without her knowledge. I know all about your dirty little secret. You don’t change, Sheila. You just find new ways to hurt people. There’s no hope for you. You’re never getting better. Everyone’s gonna know what you did, everyone, and you will never have a place in our lives. Not ever.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Victor: Let me understand this. You’re gonna tell ashland that nothing has changed and that you still love him?

Victoria: That’s right.

Nick: How can you stay with this guy after all the evidence we’ve shown you?

Nikki: Sweetheart, I don’t think you can continue as if nothing has changed. I mean, too much has happened. I know that you’re hurting, but you can lean on us.

Victoria: Mother, that has nothing to do —

Nikki: Darling, we will get through this as a family.

Victoria: I don’t think you understand what I’m saying right now. My decision is not open for discussion. I’m leaving to meet ashland to tell him that I believe in him and I still love him, and you all need to back off and let me handle this in my own way.

Nick: So we’re just supposed to stand by and let you go back to him. Why should we let you spend one more minute with him?

Victoria: Because it’s the only way to save the company.

Abby: Ashland? Hi. How are you?

Ashland: Uh, hello, abby.

Abby: Um, I feel like i haven’t seen you in forever. I’m sure you and victoria have been busy at the office.

Ashland: Uh…work does take up a great deal of our day, that is true.

Abby: Trust me, I get it. It can be all-consuming. Feels like you’re in constant motion, and that is just here at the restaurant. I cannot imagine running a global conglomerate. I’m sure it’s hard for you and victoria to find some personal time for each other.

Ashland: Have you spoken to victoria recently?

Abby: No, not recently, but, um…

Ashland: Ah.

Abby: You know, the four of us, we really should do something together. We should go out soon.

Ashland: I would like that.

Abby: Chance and I have just been in baby mode — diapers and bottles. We could really use a night out.

Ashland: Yeah, sounds like more work than running a corporate conglomerate.

Abby: [ Laughs ] Exactly.

Ashland: Yeah, we would love to have dinner with you both sometime.

Abby: Well, that would be amazing. I just popped in to check on a couple of things, but if victoria’s on her way, I’d love to say hello.

Ashland: Well, yes, she’s meeting with me here. I’m assuming she’s just caught up in something at the office, but you don’t have to wait for her. In fact, I’m probably just gonna finish my drink here and — and move —

[ Cellphone vibrates ] Oop, sorry. Oh, well, it’s right here.

[ Both laugh ] Ah, let’s see. Ah.

Abby: Well, is that her? Is she on her way?

Ashland: Uh…

Chloe: And in this one, she changed the hem. It’s, you know, fresher, sportier.

Lauren: [ Sighs ] Yeah, I can see that.

Chloe: You don’t like it?

Lauren: It’s not that. I — I’m just so anxious.

Chloe: Okay, my plan was to distract you with chelsea’s new designs, but in times like this, who can focus?

Lauren: Yeah, definitely — definitely not me.

Chloe: Try not to worry, okay? Kevin will be back soon with news. He promised.

Lauren: Yeah, but with what news? I mean, did he tell you anything before he left?

Chloe: No, he just told me that he got word about michael and he was hopping on a flight to go to san diego.

Lauren: What’s in san diego?

Chloe: I have as many questions as you do, but hopefully he’ll be back soon and he’ll tell us everything.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Lauren: Is that kevin?

Chloe: No, it’s just someone trying to sell me a warranty for my car.

Lauren: [ Sighs ] Why didn’t he just tell you what he found over the phone?

Chloe: It’s not that he refused, he just hasn’t called me back since last night.

Lauren: That’s not a good sign. People deliver bad news in person. You know, if it was something positive, it would be okay, he would have told you over the phone.

Chloe: Don’t think like that.

Lauren: Michael has been missing too long. I can’t take this anymore.

Chloe: Okay, I think maybe you should focus on something else. How about we just look at some more designs?

Lauren: No, I don’t want to look at anything else. I just want my husband.

Kevin: Good, you’re here.

Lauren: Kevin, what happened? Did you hear from michael? Michael.

Michael: Hello, gorgeous.

Lauren: [ Exhales sharply ]

[ Laughs ] I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Lauren: Oh! I don’t think I’ve ever been happier to see you.

Michael: Likewise. Somehow, you’ve gotten more beautiful while I was away.

Lauren: Oh.

Michael: How do you do that?

Lauren: [ Sighs ] Don’t you ever leave me again.

Michael: Never. I love you.

Lauren: I love you, too.

[ Chuckles ]

Michael: Mm.

Chloe: I’m really happy that you’re back. I missed you.

Lauren: Well, honey, you look exhausted. Let’s get you home. Let’s get you fed, showered, and some rest, okay?

Michael: That all sounds wonderful.

Kevin: As someone who sat next to him on the plan, I can vouch for his need of a shower.

Lauren: [ Laughs ] Let’s not wait.

Michael: No, not yet, not yet. There’s something I need to take care of first.

Lauren: Oh, are you okay?

Michael: No, I’m fine, I’m fine.

Lauren: Alright, well, where else would you need to be besides home?

Michael: I have to see victor.

Lauren: No. No, no, I am not letting you out of my sight until I get some answers. You know, I knew going back to work for victor was a mistake and that it was going to be more stress, but I didn’t realize it was going to be this much stress. You told me it was gonna be a short trip. And then you disappeared and you stopped communicating. I mean, where have you been? What’s happened to you? And who is responsible?

Ashland: This actually is not a text from victoria. In fact, it’s business. Uh, I have to follow up, make a phone call, so…

Abby: Yes, yes, absolutely. I actually need to run to the kitchen. I ordered endives and didn’t see them in a box.

[ Chuckles ] Be right back.

Ashland: Great, thank you. What’s happened? How long ago? So he just walked out. You have a dozen men there, but no one saw michael baldwin just leave? Yeah, okay, well, find him. He cannot leave peru. Do you understand me? Take care of this once and for all. Yeah, hi, victoria, it’s me. Um…I’m still here at society, and I’m eager to talk. I hope you’re just running late and everything’s still okay. I’ll see you in a bit.

[ Sighs ]

Victor: What exactly do you mean it’s the only way to save the company?

Victoria: I’ve got everything figured out.

Victor: Really? Ashland locke came to this town to take over newman enterprises. What’s your plan?

Victoria: You need to trust me.

Victor: Trust you, why? With the fate of the company that I built?

Victoria: Are you saying that this is my fault? Is that what I’m hearing right now?

Victor: I don’t know what your plan is.

Victoria: And if you don’t approve, then what —

Victor: Then I will take over.

Victoria: How? What more could you possibly do to control this situation? You’ve already acknowledged that you’ve been having me followed.

Victor: Do you understand why I had to follow? Don’t you understand that? You’re my daughter. I did it for your own security. You’re married to a bs artist who cheated you, who lied about his cancer to you in order to marry you.

Victoria: So you’re sticking to this story that your surveillance was for my safety.

Victor: You bet it was.

Victoria: I’m sorry, I don’t buy that. I don’t think that you trust me. I think that you think that I’m gonna put the company in jeopardy, and that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Victor: Really? I did this to protect you.

Victoria: Well, stop trying to treat me like I’m still your little girl. I know what I’m doing and I need you all to back off. I am the ceo of newman/locke.

Victor: And we are not going to back off. This is my company.

Victoria: I will protect my company and the family name.

Victor: How the hell will you do that?

Nick: Look, vick, you have all the information. You know what nate found out about ashland’s medical records. You have to promise me that you’re not gonna believe whatever new story ashland has. If you say that you believe him and that you’re still in love with him, that’s a lie, right?

Victor: Answer your brother. What are you recommending

Victoria: Nicholas, do you think that maybe you could just be a little less patronizing, just for one minute?

Nick: We just want you to explain your plan to us?

Victoria: I don’t owe you any explanation, especially after once again you went behind my back to uncover information that so profoundly affects my life without involving me. You clearly do not trust my judgment.

Victor: Will you understand that we are looking out for you?

Victoria: I did not ask for your help.

Nikki: Victoria, it was the only way we could get you to see the truth. We had to act before it was too late.

Victoria: Too late? Too late for what? You were afraid that ashland was gonna take total control of the company?

Nikki: As much as I care about the business, it’s nothing compared to how I feel about you. And I am not gonna have you sacrifice yourself for some plan to save the company.

Victoria: Please let me handle this the way that I see fit.

Nick: How can we do that? We don’t know what you’re planning to do.

Victor: We are your family. No one loves you more than we do. Please listen to us. Don’t be stubborn. Now, we’ve got to come up with a plan as a family to get rid of ashland locke, get him out of our family, get him out of newman enterprises.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Abby: Is everything okay at work?

Ashland: Oh. Uh…yes, everything’s fine. Yes.

Abby: Oh, you just seem a little tense. I know how my dad can be when there’s a big deal on the table. You can see the stress on his face. He carries it in his jaw.

[ Chuckles ]

Ashland: You are very observant. Yes, there is something major happening.

Abby: I knew it.

Ashland: But don’t worry about it, it’s gonna be fine.

Abby: Great.

Ashland: Did you find your endives?

Abby: I did, yeah, right underneath the radicchio.

[ Chuckles ]

Ashland: The radicchio — that’s always the last place you look, isn’t it?

Abby: Always.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: So how is everything else with you? I mean, with your, um…

Ashland: You’re asking about my health.

Abby: Yes, I am, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to pry.

Ashland: No, it’s fine. It’s fine. I’m as healthy as can be.

Abby: Wow.

Ashland: Mm-hmm.

Abby: That’s amazing. That’s miraculous, even.

Ashland: Yes. And how’s your little miracle, um, dominique?

Abby: Dominic.

Ashland: Yes, dominic. He must be getting bigger every day.

Abby: He is. He is so cute. Oh, my gosh, I have to show you this picture.

Ashland: Please do.

Abby: You’re gonna love it.

Ashland: I can hardly wait.

Abby: Look at it — wait, here it is.

Ashland: Okay, take your time.

Abby: Ah!

Ashland: Oh, look at how handsome that little boy is.

Abby: Isn’t he just the cutest thing ever? Oh. Gosh, having chance home and all of us being together, it’s such a blessing.

Ashland: I’m sure it is. Family is everything. And how is chance?

Abby: He’s doing better. He’s talking about going back to work on the police force.

Ashland: That’s great. Work is good for the soul.

Abby: Yes, chance feels the same way, and he thinks that going back to work will help him deal with all of his trauma. And if he thinks that, then i will support him 100%. Hey, it worked for you.

Ashland: What?

Abby: It worked for you. You going back to work, it helped you recover.

Ashland: Yes, it did. Yes, it did.

Abby: That and victoria’s love. That can have such healing power. You know, the two of us, chance and I, we really should use you and victoria as shining examples.

Ashland: Ah.

Michael: It is okay. Things got rough, but I’m home. Kevin helped me. And I’m eternally grateful to him for his assistance. So let’s — let’s just focus on the positive.

Lauren: But why didn’t you tell me when he was safe? Why did you have me worry for an additional 24 hours?

Kevin: I didn’t know what i was gonna find in san diego. I really didn’t expect I’d find michael. I thought it might just be a wild good chase.

Lauren: But why didn’t you call when you found him? We were scared to death. I was driving chloe crazy.

Chloe: She did.

Lauren: And we were in agony for all those extra hours.

Chloe: Okay, lauren, hold on. I know that you’re — you’re just expressing your pent-up frustration and anxiety, but i think you’re taking it out on the wrong people, ’cause we are on your side. We have been here through all of it, and I’m sure that kevin has a really good explanation for why he hasn’t told us anything.

Kevin: Well, we needed to act fast —

Michael: No, no, no, no, kevin. Do not blame kevin for anything. He was following my instructions, and I am sorry i put you through this and I will make it up to you, and I will eventually explain everything to you, but time is of the essence, and I have to see victor.

Lauren: No, michael —

Michael: I know, I don’t want to leave you either. I came here on purpose first to make sure that you knew I was alright. But this is an urgent situation, and I need to go.

Lauren: No. No, you are not going anywhere near victor. He’s the one that caused all this. He’s the one that got you into this mess in the first place — whatever this is. Why on earth do you feel obligated to him now? I started screening

Victoria: I am thinking of the company and I am thinking of the family, and I can see very clearly now what I need to do. It’s really the only way to get to the other side of this mess, so please just let me do it.

[ Sighs ] I do have the family’s best interests at heart. You have to trust me. I know I’ve made some mistakes when it comes to love, but i don’t make mistakes in business.

Victor: [ Sighs ] I’m still not convinced.

Victoria: Daddy…we’re standing in what used to be your office. This is where you handed me the reins of newman. Did you do that because you felt confident in me or did you do it as an empathy move? Are you really gonna take all of that back just because of a couple of bumps in the road?

Nick: Vick, come on. You know this is more than a bump in the road.

Victoria: Well, maybe that’s how you see it, but I see it as any issues, any problem that I’ve solved in this company.

Victor: Sweetheart…

[ Sighs ] I’ve told you many times that i admire what you have done for the company, okay?

Victoria: Well, then, please, please trust me on this one. I’m gonna treat it like any business problem. I can — I can handle this.

Victor: Look, if your actions get rid of ashland locke, get him out of our family and away from this company, then i will trust you. Meanwhile, I’m here if you need me.

Victoria: I can handle it. Thank you for your support. All of you.

Nick: I don’t like this at all. I’d feel a lot better if I knew what she was doing. If she has a plan, what do you think it could be?

Victor: If she doesn’t have a plan, I do.

Michael: Please believe me when I tell you this will all be explained to you in due time, but this is not on victor.

Lauren: Then who is responsible?

Michael: Ashland locke. And victor needs to know what happened immediately.; There’s been no safe way to get information to him. I will be home right afterwards, within the hour.

Lauren: Do you promise?

Michael: I promise.

Lauren: Is he still in danger?

Kevin: I don’t think so.

Lauren: Where did you find him? I mean, how did he get from peru to san diego?

Kevin: You know what? It’s michael’s story to tell. Besides, I don’t know anything about what happened in peru. He was quiet about that.

Chloe: Quiet like a secret or quiet like he was traumatized?

Kevin: Quiet like it never came up.

Lauren: [ Sighs ] Why did I let him out of my sight? I’m gonna go to victor’S. Kevin, I’m really sorry for earlier. Thank you so much for bringing him home.

Kevin: Of course. I feel terrible about what she had to go through. Why are you glaring me like that? Should I not feel terrible?

Chloe: You should. But what about me? You call me from work last night and say that you have to get on a flight and go to san diego, and I don’t hear from you until you saunter into crimson lights, and I have been home worried sick with the kids.

Kevin: I’m sorry. Michael’s instructions were explicit.

Chloe: Look, I — I know that you didn’t want to say anything in front of lauren, but he must have told you something. Where has he been? And what does ashland locke have to do with it?

Abby: Look at the time. You know, I really wanted to stay and say hello to victoria, but I really need to head home.

Ashland: I will pass on your regrets to victoria when I see her, which I hope will be soon.

Abby: Well, please give her a big hug from me, and I am just so happy that you’re feeling better.

Ashland: Thank you.

Abby: Now you and victoria need to work on that work-life balance.

Ashland: Yes, we do.

Abby: [ Chuckles ] And you can start by going out on that double date that we talked about.

Ashland: I would love that. I know victoria will, too.

Abby: Well, just pick a date and time and we’ll be there. It’s good to see you.

Ashland: You too.

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone rings ] Yeah. Uh-huh. Okay everyone,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Michael: Victor.

Victor: Michael baldwin! Man, what the hell?

[ Groans ] Thank god you’re here.

Michael: You should also thank a couple of healthful dock workers at the port of lima, but whatever works.

Victor: My goodness, how the hell did you get back to genoa city?

Lauren: I’d like to know the same thing, michael.

Victor: Yes.

Michael: I thought we agreed to meet at home.

Lauren: We did, but I decided that I wanted to find out what happened to my husband and why he’s been gone so long without a word. Your boss isn’t off the hook for any of this either, so I would like to hear everything you say to victor.

Michael: [ Sighs ]

Nikki: Thank you.

Nick: I just don’t even know what victoria is thinking.

Nikki: I’m wondering the same thing.

Nick: How can she even think about spending one more minute with this lying weasel of a man she calls her husband? What does she think’s gonna happen, she can just pretend like nothing has changed?

Nikki: I am trying very hard to have faith that she really does have a good plan.

Nick: Well, then she’s deluded, because she’s either gonna put herself in a position where ashland can worm his way right back into her heart or she’s gonna be playing with fire, mom, trying to outwit this guy.

Nikki: Well, I’m worried about her emotional wellbeing. Remember, after everything with J.T., She questioned her judgment. It was a very low point for her. And now, after ashland is misleading her about all these things, she could start to doubt herself again.

Nick: I just don’t even know how she could consider making ashland co-ceo after she knew about all the evidence we have against him.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] It just shows how vulnerable she is to him.

Nick: You know, I didn’t want to say anything earlier ’cause i didn’t want to antagonize victoria anymore, but she did open up to someone about ashland, and it turned out to be billy of all people, which, to me, is a sign of how little trust she has that her own family has her back.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] That is very concerning.

Nick: I’m also worried that maybe she just believed everything that ashland told her, you know? All this talk about her handling it her own way was just a way for us to back off and leave her alone, because every time i think we get through to her, she just runs right back into ashland’s arms.

Nikki: Well, now, I think we should give her a little more credit. She has too much pride. She knows that the fate of newman is in her hands, and she will do whatever it takes to save it. And that’s what has me worried.

Victoria: Hello.

Ashland: Oh. Hello. You just missed abby.

Victoria: Oh, well, I’ll have to give her a call, but honestly, I’m glad she’s not here. I’m not really up for interacting with any more newmans right now.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] Well, she was actually being quite friendly, you know, very abby, which I guess means she hasn’t heard anything about the smear campaign against me.

Victoria: I could really use a drink.

Ashland: Are you okay?

Victoria: Yes, I’m okay. I’ll just be a lot better when the bartender comes back.

Ashland: Well, you just seem agitated. I mean, has victor filled your head with more lies about me? See, this is what I feared when you went to see your family without me being there to defend myself.

Victoria: Why, is there more that I should know?

Ashland: No, that’s not at all what I meant. I just — I’m just afraid that they’re getting to you again.

Victoria: Yeah, I guess. I guess my nerves are a little frayed. I, um — I just feel like I’m being pulled in several different directions right now.

Ashland: Well, I understand that. Your family has created this untenable situation where they’re putting you under unnecessary stress.

Victoria: I can handle them.

Ashland: Okay. So, uh, what did they say about me this time?

Victoria: Oh. [ Sighs ] They’re on the warpath.

Ashland: Ah.

Victoria: My mother thinks that you’ve broken my heart and that I will never be the same, and nicholas is being protective, as usual.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: And then my dad —

Ashland: Yeah, you don’t have to tell me what your dad thinks. I — I kind of know what he thinks. What I want to know is where we stand, you and me.

Victoria: I know that the love that we have for each other is real. I know that. And that you would not and could not fake that. And I know that you wouldn’t deceive me in the way that my family is claiming that you would. So that’s where I’m at. I’m right here. I’m right by your side. Effective skincare can be affordable.

Michael: The moment — the moment I sent evidence linking payoffs to the doctors at the clinic to a subsidiary of locke’s company [Scoffs] The local police picked me up. I was thrown in jail on some trumped-up cross-border espionage charge.

Lauren: You were in jail?

Michael: Yes, yes, for a while.

Lauren: And they wouldn’t let you make a phone call?

Michael: It wasn’t exactly a due process situation. I knew the charges against me weren’t real. These were locals, not federal agents. My phone and my id were taken away. I had no access to the outside world. I had no way of contacting you. I couldn’t even hire my own lawyer.

Lauren: What a nightmare.

Victor: How’d you get away?

Michael: [ Chuckles ] I charmed my way out.

Victor: Huh.

Michael: I befriended a guard, javier. He — he had some legal trouble. I advised him on how to keep a lender from taking away his house. I mean, I saved his family home.

Victor: Oh, I see, so he owed you.

Michael: He did.

Victor: Uh-huh. So he recovered my passport. He gave me the name of a friend down at the dock, and then he let me slip away.

Lauren: Thank god for javier. But why didn’t you call once you were freed?

Michael: Number one, I still didn’t have a phone, and number two, I was sure ashland was behind my arrest. I have no proof, but it’s pretty clear that’s what happened. At that point, I thought he was capable of anything. He could be listening in on your phones. I couldn’t risk it. I was technically a fugitive. So I made my way down to the docks. I finagled my way onto a boat going to san diego, and once i was there, I could contact kevin.

Kevin: So I got a text from an unknown number claiming to be michael, telling me to get to san diego immediately.

Chloe: Well, if it was unknown, how were you certain it was actually michael?

Kevin: I tested him. He wrote that I shouldn’t say anything to you or to lauren, so I asked if I could tell gloria. To which he responded, “sure, she won’t care.” Only somebody who knows our mother would respond that way.

Chloe: Good test.

Kevin: Since this was the only lead we had on michael, i had to follow it. When I got off the plane, there was a text from another number. It was an address. So I went there, cautiously, because I didn’t know if this was a trap. It was a park near the airport. Michael was there, frazzled, scared. I wanted to check into a hotel, get him rested up, but he was eager to come home. We got on the next flight. And he was looking over his shoulder the entire time.

Chloe: What was he afraid of?

Kevin: I don’t know. But he was on edge. Seeing lauren seemed to calm him down.

Chloe: Wow. Look, I know we have been talking about wanting more excitement, like in our younger years, but not like this. If anything had happened to you…

Kevin: I know. I really was scared. And that’s why I didn’t want to worry you, but I had to help michael.

Chloe: I know, and I think it’s great that you were willing to do anything to keep your brother safe.

Kevin: Yeah, as many times as he’s come to my rescue, I owed him. But I have to admit, michael’s drive to get home as soon as possible, to run and see victor, it’s all very unnerving.

Chloe: What do you think he meant when he said that this was all ashland locke’s fault?

Ashland: [ Sighs ] I love you, victoria. And I know that our love can withstand any and all attacks against us. And I will find out who’s behind this.

Victoria: I know you will. I know that. And we’ll face this together.

Ashland: I can face anything as long as I know you’re with me. I need your love and your trust to get through this.

Victoria: And you have it. You know, but we’re gonna have to be really smart because it won’t be easy fighting my family. My father is not gonna let go of this easily. He’s gonna come at you with every weapon that he has in his arsenal to try to get you out of my life and out of newman, but we’re just gonna have to be prepared for that.

Ashland: I agree. Look, I know you needed a night away just to think things through, but I’m hoping you’ll come home so we can have a conversation about this, maybe make some plans. What do you say?

Victoria: Actually, I have a better idea. I’ve been thinking about what you said, and I think that you’re right.

Ashland: Right about what?

Victoria: I think that we need to get far away from genoa city so that we can strategize without my family’s constant attacks. Let’s just go to the villa in tuscany. (Clucking noises)

Kevin: Michael didn’t say much on the flight back. He was tight-lipped, preoccupied. He kept worrying that somebody was listening or watching. But one thing was clear — ashland locke was behind his detainment in peru.

Chloe: Why would locke do that to him?

Kevin: I don’t know. But he put my brother through hell.

Chloe: Well, look, I’m just glad that you two are home safe and sound.

Kevin: Yeah, I am too. But I’m not gonna forgive locke anytime soon.

Nick: I’m not convinced that victoria is willing to get rid of ashland. As you said before, victoria has been betrayed by so many men in her life, so maybe she’s so vulnerable that she can’t admit that yet another relationship has failed. So buying locke’s story is a way to prove that she hasn’t made another mistake.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] I pray she’s stronger than that.

Nick: Well, whatever the reason, if victoria decides to stay with ashland, I promise you I will find a way to get rid of him on my own.

Lauren: Well, I hope the information that you gathered was worth you being in jail, being in constant danger, and having me worried day and night.

Michael: I do too.

Victor: Trust me, it was invaluable.

Lauren: Does not get you off the hook for not calling me the minute you got to san diego.

Michael: Listen to me — if i had phoned you, you would’ve insisted on going with kevin. Now, I was concerned I was still in danger. I wasn’t gonna put you at risk, okay?

Lauren: And you really think that that was still an issue once you were back in the united states?

Michael: If there’s one thing I’ve learned on this adventure, it’s how ruthless ashland locke is. What matters now is that I’m home and safe with you.

Victor: Let’s toast to that.

Michael: Salud. And don’t blame victor. I knew the risks when I took this job.

Lauren: Mm, still gonna blame you.

Michael: So what’s happening with locke?

Victor: Well, as they say in french [Speaks french] Things have blown wide open. And victoria’s right in the middle. So…we’re gonna have to figure out a way to get rid of ashland locke, get him out of the company, out of our family.

Ashland: Hold on, you want to go back to tuscany? I’m surprised.

Victoria: Why? I love it there.

Ashland: Well, you were against it just a couple of days ago.

Victoria: Yes, but things have changed. I thought you wanted to go.

Ashland: I did, but removing ourselves from the battlefield, being thousands of miles away, that may not be the smartest move.

Victoria: So what has changed for you?

Ashland: Things have escalated since I first suggested it. Look, stepping out of the line of fire may seem like a safer move, but — but it may also look like an admission of guilt.

Victoria: To who?

Ashland: Victor, of course.

Victoria: My father already thinks you’re guilty.

Ashland: Well, then it might look like an admission of defeat, which is even worse.

Victoria: Exactly. If we retreat, it will make it look to my father that we’re running scared and he might be more likely to show his hand. It’s the smart move, trust me.

Ashland: Uh, you know, I love the way you’re always one step ahead of everyone, including your father, and I do agree with the idea of it. In fact, it would be nice to go back to tuscany, be alone with you at the site of our wedding.

Victoria: Yes, and you’ll be able to spend time with harrison while you’re there. You should do that.

Ashland: I can see my boy. I would love that. Okay, let’s go to italy. I’ll make some phone calls, start making arrangements immediately.

Victoria: There’s no need. I’ve already handled everything.

Ashland: Oh.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ]

Ashland: Oh. Fantastic.

Proofread by Anita

Spencer: Good morning, Grandmother.

Laura: Good morning, Spencer. How’d you sleep?

Spencer: I didn’t.

Laura: Oh. Well, you’ve been under lock and key for a month. Maybe it takes time to get used to the comforts of home. I don’t know.

Spencer: That’s not it.

Laura: Okay, then what is it?

Spencer: You’re pregnant?! Why didn’t you say anything?

Esme: When was I supposed to tell you — before or after you called me a monster?

Spencer: Esme, please.

Esme: For the record, I haven’t taken the test yet. But I am late.

Laura: Spencer? You know you can tell me anything, right?


[ Door opens, closes ]

Nikolas: Is that a smile I see?

Esme: Mr. Cassadine. Good morning.

Nikolas: Well, it certainly looks that way. Your first night in your new place must have agreed with you.

Esme: Oh, you have no idea.


Jordan: Trina, have a seat. I just want to walk you through what’s next. In a few hours, you’ll be escorted to the courthouse for your arraignment. If you plead not guilty —

Trina: if? Jordan… I’m pleading not guilty because I didn’t do it.


[ Tray clatters ]

Alexis: Oh. You found the carpet cleaner.

Harmony: Yeah.

Alexis: How’d you know that was in the basement?

Harmony: I’m making breakfast to celebrate my temporary new digs. I hope you like scrambled. Alexis, what’s wrong?

[ Doorbell rings ]

Harmony: I’ll get that.

Alexis: Yeah.

Sam: Harmony. What are you doing here?


Carly: I mean, look at Avery’s schedule. She has so many activities.

Ava: [ Chuckles ] And I thought we were busy people, huh?

Carly: Yeah. Oh, I-I talked to Avery’s dance teacher, told her about the little sprain. She said it wouldn’t be a problem.

Ava: Okay.

Carly: Hmm.

Ava: Carly, I want to tell you again how much Avery love her time with you.

Carly: Oh. Not as much as I love spending time with her. I can’t believe how fast they go from playdate to college. It’s…crazy.

Ava: You know, I-I-I heard about that awful video of Joss and Cameron. If you ever find out who’s responsible, you know, Carly, I wouldn’t blame you if you —

Sonny: Hello, Ava. Carly.

Ava: Sonny.

Carly: Ava and I are going over Avery’s schedule, trying to coordinate some dates.

Sonny: Oh, I thought you were talking about Trina.

Ava: Trina? Why would we be talking about Trina?

Sonny: She just got arrested for making the video of Cameron and Josslyn.


Carly: No, that’s crazy. Trina would never do anything like that, especially not to Cameron and Josslyn.

Ava: No. And I work side by side with Trina at the gallery. I couldn’t trust her more if she were my own daughter.

Carly: She was clearly set up. Esme.

Ava: Esme.

Sonny: Well, you know what? I don’t believe it, either. But I don’t think Jordan would have arrested her if there wasn’t some kind of evidence of it. I mean, right?

Ava: Evidence can be fabricated, as we know.

Sonny: Yeah.

Ava: Always a pleasure.

Carly: Where are you going?

Ava: I’m gonna go make sure that somebody pays for this.

Carly: [ Exhales sharply ]

Sonny: How’s Josslyn?

Carly: Hurt. Humiliated. But standing up for herself.

Sonny: You know, Josslyn’s been my stepdaughter for years. And if I didn’t find out about this tape from Dante, I would have had to find out from the, uh…Invader article.


Alexis: You know, I tried calling you. I-I couldn’t reach you.

Sam: What’s going on?

Alexis: Harmony’s just staying here for a little bit.

Sam: Oh.

Alexis: I thought molly and Kristina might have called you.

Sam: No, I guess it slipped their minds.

Harmony: I totally forgot the sugar. I’ll be back.

Sam: So, Shawn takes off… and Harmony moves in?

Alexis: [ Sighs ]


Laura: Would you like some more coffee?

Spencer: Thank you, grandmother. This is a perfect first morning of freedom. I would dream about these when I was inside.

Laura: [ Laughing ] Spencer. You were inside for a month.

Spencer: Even worse. I had had them so recently, and the bakery was so close.

Laura: Hmm. Well, I’m glad that whatever spoiled your sleep hasn’t ruined your appetite. Quit stalling and just tell me what’s wrong.

Spencer: What makes you think that I’m stalling?

Laura: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe ’cause I’ve known you since you were a little boy. And when you stall, it looks exactly like this. Spencer, you know you can trust me. With anything.

Spencer: Did you ever do something that you shouldn’t have but you didn’t realize that you had done it until it was too late?

Laura: [ Chuckles ] Oh, boy. How much time do you have? You know, Spencer, I could fill an encyclopedia with the mistakes I’ve made. I have tried to learn from them. And hopefully, maybe I can impart some of those hard-won lessons to you.

Spencer: It’s about Esme.

Laura: I thought so. Spencer, I’m so sorry that you broke up. I really am. If there’s anything I can do —

[ Knock on door]

Laura: I bet that that’s her right now. And if it is, I can go upstairs.

Victor: Good morning.

Laura: It was so close to being one.

Victor: I just dropped by to see if Spencer — well, slaughter the fatted calf! The prodigal has returned!


Nikolas: And how is the room above Kelly’s? I know it’s a change from what you’re accustomed to.

Esme: It’s fine. It may not be a lap of luxury, but it’s clean and comfortable. And beggars can’t be choosers.

Nikolas: Oh, you consider yourself a beggar?

Esme: Oh, close enough. I mean, I can’t access my trust fund until I’m 25. In the meantime, my allowance is measured out in teaspoons.

Nikolas: Oh, the horror.

Esme: I know. “Poor little rich girl.” Guess I’m not making a very good case for myself.

Nikolas: Esme, I was joking. I know how it feels to be dependent on the largesse of family. I mean, sometimes strangers can be more generous.

Esme: And no one’s been as generous to me as you have, despite everything I’ve done to you and Ava. What’d I do to deserve your kindness?

Nikolas: Kindness has nothing to do with it.


Jordan: It doesn’t matter what I believe. My job is to gather evidence, not judge who’s guilty or not guilty. That’s up to a court of law.

Trina: Jordan, you know me. You know my parents. Do you really think I would do this to Joss and Cam?

Jordan: Can you explain how the phone that posted the video was found in your possession?

Trina: [ Sighs ]

Jordan: Trina, I can tell there’s something you want to say. What is it?

Ava: I’ll say it for her. You’ve got the wrong person.


Alexis: You can relax. Harmony is not taking up residence here.

Sam: [ Chuckles ] You could’ve fooled me.

Alexis: She just needs a place to stay. I’m just helping her out till she can afford to get a place of her own.

Sam: Okay, well, clearly, you have made up your mind and there nothing I can do to change it.

Alexis: Not that that’s gonna stop you.

Sam: Have you ever thought that Harmony’s redemption act is too good to be true? Because take it from someone who knows — the grifter’s instinct, it never leaves you. All you can do is own it and fight it. Is Harmony doing that? Or is she working you?


Victor: Hm. Not bad.

Laura: What do you want, Victor?

Victor: Well, I wanted to check up on my great-nephew here to make sure you had everything you need, now you’re a free man.

Spencer: Freedom’s not all it’s cracked up to be.

Victor: Uh-oh. Trouble in paradise?

Laura: I’m sure Spencer will tell us what’s going on in his own good time. Right now, I think we should give him some space.

Victor: What others call lies of omission I like to call truths to be told at the right time.

Laura: The time that benefits you.

Victor: Hm. You’re a politician, Madam Mayor. Surely you know the value of strategy. You can’t succeed without maneuverability and a sense of gamesmanship.

Laura: Funny you should mention that. Rumor has it you enjoy a good game of cards.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] Doesn’t everyone?

Spencer: I might just try to, uh, catch a nap, so…

Victor: Oh, uh, wait a minute, Spencer. There is something important we need to discuss. All three of us.


Esme: I should have known you wouldn’t have found me a place to stay unless you expected something in return. If this is about me putting in a good word with Spencer, he won’t listen. Not now.

Nikolas: [ Chuckles ] I’m not asking you to go to bat for me with Spencer. Not because my son stopped caring for you. But I don’t have reason to trust you.

Esme: Well, at least you’re honest about it.

Nikolas: Can you blame me? You Camerone close to driving the woman I love out of my life.

Esme: I have nothing against you or Ava. I only knew her from what Spence told me. And, I mean, I never questioned his perspective because he was in so much pain. So when he asked me for help, I couldn’t say no, even though I knew it was wrong. Of course, that was just the first of many mistakes.

Nikolas: Yes, it was. I don’t understand. If you haven’t forgiven me for the things I’ve done to you, then why are you helping me? Why make sure I have a roof over my head when you could just as easily send me packing? Of course. You did it so you could keep an eye on me.


Ava: Are you all right?

Trina: Fine.

Jordan: I need to follow up on something. I’ll leave you two to talk.

Ava: Thank you. Uh, Commissioner? Aren’t you forgetting something?

Jordan: He stays. They get 10 minutes.

Officer: Yes, Commissioner.

Ava: Trina, I’m so sorry this is happening to you.

Trina: So am I.

Ava: Well, I promise you, I’m gonna do everything in my power to get you out of here and clear your name. This is a terrible miscarriage of justice.


Victor: I do regret we had to cancel your “welcome home” dinner, but let’s reschedule it, if not as a “welcome home,” then as some other kind of celebration. We do have a lot to celebrate.

Laura: We do?

Victor: Oh, more than you can imagine.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Laura: Excuse me. Jordan?

Jordan: Laura, can you stop by the precinct as soon as you can?

Laura: Is there trouble?

Jordan: I’m guessing you haven’t seen The Invader today.

Laura: I haven’t.

Jordan: Just as well. I’ll brief you when you get here.

Laura: I’m on my way.

Victor: A mayor’s work is never done.

Laura: Something’s come up. I’m sorry.

Victor: Oh, have no fear. Your grandson is in good hands.

Laura: I’m a phone call away.

[ Door closes ]

Victor: Ahh, alone at last. Right, now, Spencer, suppose you tell me what exactly is going on between you and Esme.

Spencer: Esme and I are over. Whatever we had ended when I realized that… I couldn’t trust her.

Victor: Trust [Scoffs] Is an illusion. Loyalty, on the other hand — now, loyalty is priceless. Has Esme been disloyal?

Spencer: Well, I don’t know. Has she harmed you in any way? Directly, no, but she went out of her way to hurt my friends.

Victor: Your friends. Not you.

Spencer: She tried to pin the blame for something that she did on someone else. Someone I, um… [ Clears throat ] Someone I care about. When I confronted her, she denied it. We argued, and the day that I got out of Spring Ridge, her bags were packed and she left.

Victor: I get the sense that the separation is harder than you imagined it would be.

Spencer: You don’t know the half of it.

Victor: Has our dear Esme gotten her claws into you? Has she, uh — she played the love card? Or, more insidious yet, the sex card?

Spencer: I changed my mind. I don’t want to talk about this.

Victor: No, nonsense. Nonsense. We are both men of the world, Spencer. What’s more, we’re both made of the same flesh and blood. Now, I can’t help you unless you tell me what kind of hold Esme has over you.

Spencer: Esme might be pregnant.


Carly: My priority during all of this has been Josslyn. So if she didn’t tell you about the tape, I didn’t feel it was my place.

Sonny: But you’re okay with her doing an interview in the newspaper?

Carly: That was Josslyn’s choice. Sonny, she and Cameron were being trashed on social media, so they decided to get in front of it, you know, take charge of the narrative and speak up for themselves. I’m damn proud of my daughter.

Sonny: So am I. She’s always gonna be… a daughter to me. But somebody is using that video as a weapon against her. And in my world, when somebody pulls out a knife…

Carly: you pull out a gun.


Alexis: She’s a friend who needs my help. So what am i supposed to do?

Sam: Okay. As long as Harmony is the friend that you need her to be. And, hell, if Kristina’s okay with it —

Alexis: she is. She is, okay? And thank you for understanding.

Sam: Okay. I got to go. I will be around if you need me.

Alexis: Fine.

Sam: I love you.

Alexis: Love you, too.

Harmony: Sam, I totally forgot to ask if you wanted some coffee.

Sam: No, thank you. Harmony. I hope this all works out for you.

[ Door opens ]

Harmony: Yeah, and by that, I think she means save up as fast as I can so I can get out of your hair as soon as possible.

Alexis Sam is very vocal about her concerns.

Harmony: Oh, I know.

Alexis: She also doesn’t make my decisions for me.

Harmony: And have you made any decisions I need to know about?

Alexis: Not yet. You know, Harmony, I, um, can’t help but notice how well you know your way around my house. I mean, it almost seems like you’ve been here before. Without my knowledge.

Harmony: Because I have.


Victor: Pregnant? Is that all?

Spencer: Isn’t that enough?

Victor: If you’re the father. Of course I am. You’re sure?

Spencer: Yes.

Victor: No, you’re not. A man never can be.

Spencer: Esme moved to Port Charles for me. She even broke a few laws because she thought it was gonna help.

Victor: And you feel responsible.

Spencer: Aren’t I?

Victor: Listen to me, my boy. You are a young man with your whole life ahead of you. You have a family with almost unlimited resources, a family that loves you very much, even though sometimes they have a hard time knowing how to express it.

Spencer: What are you saying? If Esme is indeed pregnant and you are indeed the father… [ Breathes loudly ] …well, we have a whole array of options at our disposal. We can pay her off. We can resettle her somewhere. We can arrange to have the child brought up by more appropriate parents. Well, we do that all the time in this family, in case you haven’t noticed.

Spencer: I’m sorry. It’s just a lot.

Victor: Alright. Let me simplify. I can arrange to have mother and child cared for without tying you down.

Spencer: Thank you.

Victor: I have to say, I’m a little relieved. I, uh — I was worried at first that you were upset about that, uh, young lady who works at Ava’s gallery.

Spencer: Trina. What about her?

Victor: Oh, haven’t you heard?

Spencer: No.

Victor: Oh, she, uh — apparently she betrayed her other friends and got herself arrested.


Nikolas: Of course, I want to keep an eye on you, Esme. You helped Spencer terrorize my wife.

Esme: Everything I did, I did for Spencer.

Nikolas: Am I supposed to believe that you don’t have a mind of your own? That you couldn’t see Spencer’s plot spiraling out of control?

Esme: I don’t know how many times I can say this. I was wrong, and I’m sorry.

Nikolas: I provided you with a place because there’s a very good chance that this breakup is temporary. And if that is true, I need to know that you’re good for my son.

Esme: In other words, you give me shelter and a chance to prove that I’m not some gold digger?

Nikolas: Well, the virtues I’m looking for aren’t as traditional as all of that. I need to know that you will inspire Spencer to be the man he can be.

Esme: According to whose standards? Society’s or your family’s? Because that’s becoming clearer by the day that those mean very different things.

Nikolas: Well, it depends on Spencer. Whatever path he chooses, will you be there? Do you really care for him?

Esme: Haven’t I proven that by now? Of course I care for Spencer. I’ve loved him more than I’ve ever loved anyone.

Nikolas: Then here’s your chance to remind him.

Esme: You don’t understand. It’s too late.


Ava: Tell me everything that happened. On second thought, just tell me what the police already know.

Trina: So, I tried to show the commissioner my phone to prove that I didn’t have the sex video on it. I pulled out what I thought was my phone.

Ava: Wait, what do you mean what you thought was your phone?

Trina: It was identical. Identical. It was the same case, same model. Then I heard a chime with a text on my actual phone. I realized my phone is still in my bag. Someone planted the other one.

Ava: And we may not know how they did it, but we know who. It was Esme, wasn’t it?

Jordan: Thank you for coming.

Laura: [ Sighs ] I saw The Invader on the way over. Trina Robinson can’t possibly have anything to do with that sex tape, can she?

Jordan: We’re exploring all angles, which is the reason why I called. There’s another piece of the puzzle I need to make you aware of. Personally.

Laura: Personally? Is that because the tape involves Cameron?

Jordan: It actually involves your other grandson, Spencer.


Carly: The first step is to prove that Esme did this to Josslyn and Cameron, and then i will make her pay.

Sonny: So I have no say in what happens? You agree with Michael that Josslyn doesn’t concern me anymore?

Carly: Michael agrees with Josslyn. And she has made it very clear that she doesn’t want you involved.

Sonny: Carly, I understand how you feel about me, but you know I will do anything for my children.

Carly: Great, great. Then — then do what Josslyn has asked and stay out of it. Have you even read the interview with her and Cam? Have you?

Sonny: Not all of it, no.

Carly: You should. It’s pretty impressive. Josslyn showed a lot of courage.

Sonny: I-I don’t need an interview to tell me, you know, how brave Josslyn is. I see it. Just — just like I see that Trina, if she’s taking the fall for this, someone else is getting away with a vicious attack on Josslyn’s name and privacy.

Carly: That someone is Esme.

Sonny: I’m not gonna stand by and let that happen. I’m gonna take care of it.

Sam: Sonny.

Laura: Sonny.

Sonny: Hey, Sam. How you doing?

Sam: I know that look. [ Exhales deeply ] Someone’s gonna suffer.


Trina: Of course Esme did it. But she wasn’t in the cabin when the video was recorded. She was in the car with Spencer on her way back to town.

Ava: Well, she didn’t have to be there physically to make the recording. It’s not that hard.

Officer: Sorry. Time’s up.

Ava: Thank you. Trina… I promise you, I will move heaven and earth to get you out of this.

Trina: Ava, do people really think I —

Ava: Hey. Who cares what people think? Your family, your friends — your good and true friends — they know you. And so does Spencer, whether you care what he thinks or not.

Laura: How’s Spencer involved? Ava. How’s Trina?

Ava: Innocent.


Spencer: This doesn’t make sense. How could they arrest Trina?

Victor: Well, I’d imagine the police found evidence of a crime that pointed to her guilt.

Spencer: I’m sorry, Uncle Victor, but I need a minute.

Victor: Yeah, I can take a hint. I’ll, uh, see myself out.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Esme: Are you coming or not?

Spencer: I will go with you. But first, I’m gonna check on Trina and then I will get our bags and I will meet you outside!

Esme: Trina’s asleep, and we can send for our things. Let’s go.

Esme: -What am I up to? Wow.

Spencer: -It’s a fair question.

Esme: It’s not enough that you accused me of orchestrating this weekend to blow up your friendships —

Spencer: Which you denied.

Esme: Do you believe me?

Spencer: I want to.

Esme: Oh, my god.

Spencer: Which is why I’m asking, what the hell did you hope to achieve with the questions you were asking during the drinking game?

Esme: [ Laughs ] A fun night! How was I supposed to know what would hit a nerve?

Spencer: Look me in the eye and tell me that you had nothing to do with that video.

Esme: Would it even matter? After all this time together, everything we’ve been through, I can’t believe our history isn’t enough.

Spencer: Wait. You never answered my question.

Esme: You want an answer? Yeah, I do. Well, Spence, you don’t always get what you want.


Esme: Not only has Spence kicked me to the curb, but there’s a target on my back because of what certain people think I’ve done.

Nikolas: What people?

Esme: I mean, Josslyn’s mom, for one. You saw the bruises she left on my arm. Thank you again for taking me to the hospital and for putting Mrs. Corinthos on notice.

Nikolas: Someone had to.

Esme: That leaves… Mr. Corinthos.

Nikolas: Sonny? What about him?

Esme: He’s had it in for me ever since I stretched the truth about you and Ava leaving town with Avery. My misguided attempt to bring everyone together seriously backfired.

Nikolas: [ Sighs ] You let me worry about Sonny. Yeah, just work on being the person Spencer trusted, the person that he cared for and he still cares for. Can you do that?

Esme: That’s just it. Lately, Spence has put his trust in the last person he should, the person who actually did this terrible thing to Joss and Cam.

Nikolas: Trina?

Esme: Spence thought I did it. If he won’t believe me, maybe he’ll believe his own eyes. Maybe he’ll finally see that it was wrong to trust her.

Nikolas: If Trina’s out of his life, does that bring the two of you back together?

Esme: It might have before I found out that — found out what?


Sam: First of all, that someone would even do this at all — it’s horrific. But to Josslyn, knowing that Sonny Corinthos is her stepfather.

Carly: Oh, and she knows. She knows. You should have heard the way Esme spoke to me, and she was doing it just to get a rise out of me in front of Nikolas.

Sam: Well, did it work?

Carly: Oh, yeah, he rushed to her side to defend her. I don’t know how Josslyn has managed not to slap Esme into next week. When I was her age, back in my day…

Sam: Oh.

Carly: …I would’ve ripped her hair out of her head, and that’s before she tried to frame Trina.

Sam: Okay, well, that explains the smoke coming out of Sonny’s ears.

Carly: Yeah, well, Michael and Josslyn want him to stay out of it.

Sam: [ Scoffs ] Like anything’s gonna be able to stop him.


Sonny: Brick. Uh, I need you to coordinate with Spinelli, try to find a-a trail, you know, whoever did this. Yeah, I know what people are thinking, but I need to have, you know, a clean slate. So proof is absolute. You know what I’m saying? Right.

[ Knock on door, door opens ]

Ava: Hey. I need a drink. Gin if you have it, scotch otherwise.

Sonny: You can try in the bar, ’cause I don’t — I’m — I’m not doing that stuff anymore.

Ava: Huh. Kudos to Nina.

Sonny: [ Chuckles ] What — what are you doing here?

Ava: I just saw Trina.

Sonny: And?

Sonny: She didn’t do it. As you already know, it was Esme.


Harmony: Kristina was living here when she was interested in Dawn of Day. Um, and one day I waited for you to leave, and I knocked on the door, and Kristina opened it.

Alexis: You wanted to talk to Kristina when I wasn’t there?

Harmony: Yeah, Shiloh wanted me to check her out. And then, uh, we were having coffee in the kitchen, and there was, like, a mishap with the coffee maker. I don’t remember exactly what happened, but it spilled everywhere, and I helped her clean it up. And then I put the mop and the cleaning supplies back. And that’s — that’s how I knew where they were.

Alexis: Right. Uh, so just to be clear, I-I’m going to speak to Kristina about this.

Harmony: Yes. Yes, I-I want you to do that. I know I should have told you. I’m sorry, but, um, I was just, like, so ashamed of the reason why. Alexis, say something, please.


Nikolas; Clearly there’s something you’re not telling me. If there is something that you know about this video, something that involves Spencer —

Esme: No, he had nothing to do with it.

Nikolas: [ Exhales deeply ] Good. Then what is it? I can’t help you if I don’t know.

Esme: Please, Mr. Cassadine, I know you want to help. It’s just —

Nikolas: Go on.

Esme: I-I-I’m sorry. I have to — I just need to get some air before I —

Nikolas: before what?

Esme: I’m sorry. I just need a minute.


Spencer: Grandmother, you’re here. Why didn’t you tell me Trina was here?

Laura: I didn’t know until I was on my way over.

Spencer: Where is she?

Jordan: Trina’s in the interrogation room. You can go right in.

Laura: Why did you let Spencer in to see Trina? Do you believe that my grandson is involved in this?

Trina: It’s funny how things work out.

Spencer: There’s nothing funny about this.

Trina: Sure, there is. The last time I saw you, you were the one in custody. Now it’s my turn.


Sam: Oh, I wish Jason were here.

Carly: I wish that about a thousand times a day every day, but especially right now. You know, he would be able to figure out how Esme framed Trina, and he’d be able to stop me from losing my mind.

Sam: Probably.

Carly: Did you, uh, hear from Monica?

Sam: About Jason?

Carly: Yeah, she wants to have him declared legally dead. I mean, I heard about it from Britt, and then Monica reached out and said she wants to do it because she thinks it’ll help Jason’s kids move on. What do you think about that?

Sam: Uh… I think it seems impossible… saying goodbye to Jason.

Carly: I’m never gonna be able to say goodbye to him, you know.

Sam: We’re gonna have to try. Carly, we’re gonna have to try to move on.

Carly: Yeah, I feel like I’m moving on from so many things right now. And you have, too. I’m sorry. How are things with you and Dante?

Sam: They’re — they’re — they’re great. Um… listen, I… had to try really hard… to find the strength to move on from Jason. So maybe it’s possible that if you find your strength, you’ll be able to move on from Sonny.


Sonny: What do you want, Ava?

Ava: The same thing you want.

Sonny: Yeah?

Ava: Justice. I know Trina. She’s good. Hell of a lot better than either of us.

Sonny: Faint praise, low bar, is that what you’re saying?

Ava: Fair point.

Sonny: So?

Ava: So… we both know that she would never do this to Josslyn and Cameron.

Sonny: Carly’s convinced it’s Esme.

Ava: Carly’s right. And if Carly and I agree on something, it’s got to be true. Now… …what are you gonna do about it?

Sonny: I’m on it.


Esme: “‘We refuse to be victims,’ says Josslyn Jacks. Cameron Webber echoes that sentiment. ‘Whoever thought they could shame us into hiding has made a serious mistake.’” [ Laughs ] No, they didn’t, Cameron. The mistake was all yours, Trina.


Alexis: I have to go to work.

Harmony: Okay. Do you want me to leave?

Alexis: We’ll talk about it later.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

[ Thunder rumbling ]


Carly: Well, I divorced Sonny. I mean, that counts as moving on, right?

Sam: Not really. But, um, you know what? I’m gonna give you a pass on this one because you have a lot to deal with. You need to just stay focused on Josslyn.

Carly: She’s gonna get through this. And going public with what happened to her and Cam was a good first step. Now we have to make sure her best friend doesn’t pay for a crime she didn’t commit.


Spencer: I rushed over as soon as I heard.

Trina: Why? So you can tell Esme that it worked?

Spencer: You know I didn’t believe Esme when she accused you.

Trina: Which time?

Spencer: To be honest, I thought that Esme did it. But now, if the commissioner has evidence —

Trina: Planted evidence. You know better than anyone that I would never deliberately try to hurt Joss and Cam.

Spencer: Then why did you do it?

Jordan: Other than being at the cabin the night the video was taken, I’m not so sure Spencer was involved at all.

Laura: He seemed upset about something this morning.

Jordan: Maybe Spencer’s adjusting to leaving the system and returning to normal life.

Laura: I’d like to believe that. But then there’s his Great-Uncle Victor, who’s always ready with a helping hand.


Victor: Ah, Nikolas. Glad I found you. We need to talk about Spencer.

Nikolas: Later. Did you see Esme outside?

Victor: Oh, as a matter of fact, I did. As I was pulling in, another car was pulling out. I saw Esme in the back seat.

Nikolas: Who was driving? Which way did they go?

Esme: [ Grunts ]

Sonny: Esme. Nice of you to join me.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Sasha (to Brando): You in this?

Brando (to Sasha): Definitely.

Dante (to Chase): Where’s this coming from?

Brook Lynn (to Lucy): I’m sorry, but the answer is no.

Maxie: Let’s explore other options.

Spencer (to Trina): I want to believe you.

Scott (to Portia): This case is loaded with opportunities.

Nikolas (to Victor): Why would she just take off without a word?

Sonny: All you gotta do is confess.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Xander: You, uh, haven’t eaten much. Not hungry?

Gwen: Late luncH.

Xander: Hmm. So, um, did you get a chance to think about what we talked about earlier, coming with me to statesville?

Gwen: About going to see rolf, right. Because if he has the antidote for the drug that he created that caused sarah to lose her mind, well, then you just might get the old sarah back. And wouldn’t that be brilliant?

Maggie: [Laughs] Well, looks like you’re settling in.

Tony: The scotch is superb, maggie.

Maggie: Ah, great. Victor and i are about to retire for the evening, and I just wanted to make sure that you have everything you need.

Tony: Oh, i do, thank you.

Maggie: I know that victor has yet to welcome you.

Tony: I don’t think he ever will. I can’t imagine he’s happy about a dimera staying under his roof.

Maggie: [Clears throat] I can handle victor.

Tony: [Laughs] Like no one else.

Maggie: Mm, tony, I want to thank you again for agreeing to move in here.

Tony: Well, we all want the same thing, for sarah to be healthy again.

Maggie: Yeah. And I have to say that anna was the unsung hero in all of this. Because I know how difficult this has been for her.

Tony: It has been difficult. But she’s come to understand that we all want to do is just help sarah. And she’s totally on board with my staying here.

Anna: On board, my eye.

[Dramatic music]

[Suspenseful music]

Chad: [Sighing] Ugh. Okay.

Leo: Wait a minutE.

Chad: I thought you wanted me to get in the bed.

Leo: Oh, I do. But I got to see that ass first. Even better than i imagineD. Now, let’s get this party started.

Chloe: Mm, thank you. Look, I know what we’re doing is best for my dad, but it just kills me to know that he’s gonna have his heart broken.

Abigail: We are doing this specifically to help your dad.

Chloe: I know, I know, and I also hated dragging you and chad into this.

Abigail: Oh, no, no, you didn’t drag us. I mean, hey, like I said, gave me an opportunity to work on my acting chops, right?

Chloe: Playing the younger version of my mom. “The nancy wesley story,” where she finds out that her husband is actually attracted to men.

Brady: You pulled it off brilliantly, by the way. Leo had no ideA.

Abigail: Yeah, well, thank yoU. But now it’s chad’s turn. You know, I just hope he’s ready for his close-up.

Leo: I cannot believe this is happeninG.

Chad: Neither can I.

Leo: Don’t worry, I’m gonna be real gentle. My lovemaking philosophy is based on the ike and tina turner version of “proud mary.” We’re gonna go real nice and slow in the beginning and then finish, well, not so nice.

Chad: You know, tina turner, what a wonderful artist. What other songs of hers do you like? Do you like–

Leo: Shut up and kiss me.

Chad: Uh–

Craig: Leo?

Leo: CraiG.

Craig: What the hell is going on?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Craig: What are you doing? Who is this guy? Who are you?

Chad: Me? Nobody.

Leo: Actually, he’s chadwicK. Chadwick, this is my boyfriend, craig.

Chad: Oh, my god! I never should’ve–

Craig: What are you doing in bed with this guy?

Leo: Well, the truth is–

Chad: No, the truth is that nothing actually happened, but we were totally gonna go all the way.

Craig: Get dressed.

Chad: It’s craig, right?

Craig: Yeah. It’s craig.

Chad: Craig, I’m– I feel very bad about this. Really, I feel terriblE. The truth is I was drinking, and I sort of just showed up on leo’s doorstep, but I can’t imagine how hard this must be for you to find out that the person that you love is cheating on you. Ugh.

Chloe: The sooner we get that snake out of our lives, the better. Leo’s done enough damage and not just to my dad.

Abigail: What do you mean?

Chloe: Oh, um, I’m sorry, but my dad took your aunt, kayla’s, job at the hospitaL.

Abigail: What?

Chloe: Yeah, I guess he’s the new chief of staff at university hospital.

Abigail: Wait. Are you serious? They fired my aunt kayla?

Brady: They did. Chloe and I are convinced that when leo found out that kayla’s job was in jeopardy, he probably pushed craig to go after the job. Leo made this happen.

Xander: Judging by your attitude, you’re not particularly thrilled at the prospect of coming along with me.

Gwen: Thank you. I’m sorry about being negative beforE. It’s–

[Sighs] It’s not about sarah. I understand why you’d want to help that poor woman. I just– I’m not proud of my association with rolf. I was in a very, very– I was in a very dark place when I went to him about abigail.

Xander: Well, you’re not that person anymore.

Gwen: Which is why I don’t want to go back to that part of my life. And especially now that jack has forgiven me for my past misdeeds.

Xander: Well, just think of it this way. If you convince rolf to help sarah, then jack and the whole horton clan will be forever indebted to you for bringing sarah back to them, I mean–

Gwen: Why do you need me to come and help you with rolf? Didn’t you meet him nashville? You probably have a better relationship with him than I do.

Xander: Yeah, but it’s not a particularly good onE. I mean, he hates my guts. Gwen, of course I understand why you’d be reluctant to come along with me and, I mean, it’s obviously gonna bring up all these bad memories. And obviously, i realize that, um– well, I’d be a fool not to, wouldn’t I?

Gwen: What do you realize?

Xander: That you don’t want sarah to get better.

Tony: Anna, what are you doing here?

Anna: Well, what does it look like, darling? I’ve come to take you home.

Tony: But i thought we agreed.

Anna: Yeah, well, I changed my mind.

Maggie: I’ll give you two privacy to discuss this.

Sarah as renee: Really, anna? Isn’t it bad enough that you’re squatting in the dimera family mansion? Now you’re stalking us?

Anna: I have come to take my husband home where he belongs.

Sarah as renee: I’ll handle this, darling. I know this must be difficult for you, anna, but it’s time that you realize that what you thought you had with tony is oveR. He and I are finally back together, and tonight we’re gonna prove it in every way imaginable.

[Dramatic music]

Abigail: I mean, not only is my aunt a brilliant doctor, she’s totally beloved at that hospital, and they just fired her without warning?

Brady: Actually, they did warn her.

Abigail: I don’t understand. What could aunt kayla have possibly done to deserve to lose her job?

Brady: Abby, she refused to fire marlena.

Abigail: What?

Chloe: Yeah, the hospital board was pressuring kayla to fire marlena ’cause of the whole devil possession situation.

Brady: A lot of patients were filing complaints.

Abigail: Oh, my god. That didn’t even occur to me. What a horrible position for kayla to be in.

Brady: And when she didn’t comply, the board decided to go ahead and get another chief of staff that would do the dirty work.

Abigail: Unbelievable. So you both think that it was leo who put craig up to putting his hat in the ring or whatever?

Chloe: I think we’re pretty sure of iT.

Abigail: Such a nightmare. Although, it sounds like aunt kayla would’ve lost her job no matter what, which is totally awful and unfair. I just hope that we hear from chad soon.

Brady: Yeah. Well, look, it’s getting late, and I have a little girl that i need to tuck in. So do you want to come over to my place and we can wait on word there on operation oust leo?

Chloe: Yeah, I’d love that, and I’d love to give that little girl a smooch myself.

Abigail: Well, I promise that I will call you as soon as I hear that your dad has kicked leo to the curb.

Chloe: Thank you.

Brady: Bye.

Abigail: Bye.

[Sighs]

Chad: Leo said that you were at work. I certainly did not intend for you to walk in on us.

Leo: Maybe you didn’t, but I did.

Chad: You did? What are you talking about?

Leo: I texted my boo to come home. Isn’t that right, sweetheart?

Craig: “Come home quick,” he wrote, “I have a surprise for you.”

Chad: When did you do that?

Leo: When I went to the bathroom to change.

Chad: Why did you do that?

Leo: Come on now, chadwick. You didn’t really think we were gonna have sex without my boyfriend joining us, did you?

Gwen: How dare you.

Xander: How dare I what?

Gwen: How dare you make me out to be like I’m the bad one here, xander? I mean, like I’m the reason that sarah’s running around town believing that she’s some long-dead dimera heiress. That is all on my sister.

Xander: I never said you were to blame, gwen. I’m just saying that it feels a little like maybe you don’t want to help me help sarah.

Gwen: And why would I do be in such a rush to help you? So that sarah can go back to her fabulous, old wonderful self, and then the two of you can just get back together and live happily ever after? Because that is the plan, isn’t it?

Sarah as renee: Tony and i are reunited, anna. It’s time for you to face the facts.

Anna: Well, i have a few facts for you, dearie. Like for starters, you are not–

Tony: Anna! That’s enough. Maggie, do you mind if you could give us a few moments alone so we can talk?

Sarah as renee: You can’t be alone with this lunatic.

Anna: Oh, I’m the lunatic? Really? I’m the one doing the third-rate impersonation of a dead woman?

Maggie: Renee, it’s a glorious night. The moon is full and i’d love for you to see the garden. Why don’t you come out with me?

Tony: Yes, why don’t you? Just for a few minutes. Would you do that for me, dear?

Sarah as renee: Fine. But when i come back, you had better be gone.

Tony: What’s the matter with you, anna? I thought we had an understanding that I would stay here to help. Instead, no sooner do I leave the house, you come bursting in here loaded for bear.

Anna: Because you don’t belong here, tony. You belong with me. And I know I agreed to this ridiculous arrangement, but once i had a chance to think about it, I could– I realized just how unfair it really is.

Tony: Anna, listen to me. Actually, you know this already. But I’ll say it once again in the hopes that it’ll actually register. My living arrangements here are temporary to keep sarah stable so they can finally cure her from her break from reality.

Anna: And what if they never find a cure, tony? That woman believes that she is renee dumonde with every fiber of her being. And god help me, in spite of her lousy impersonation, she gets under my skin like– like only the real renee could.

Tony: But, anna, you have to be the rational one herE. She’s a scared, fragile young woman who needs our help.

Anna: Yeah, well, that scared, fragile young woman wants to take away my husband. And I will not just be passive and polite about it.

Tony: Oh, for heaven’s sake, anna! I’m not gonna go to bed with sarah horton. And the fact that you have the slightest fear that I would is not only insulting to my loyalty, my integrity, but also my intelligence. So for god’s sake, just trust me, will you? And go homE.

Anna: Fine. I’ll go home. Yes. And I’ll spend my evening wondering why my husband is spending his evening with some other womaN. And a lunatic at that.

[Dramatic music]

Xander: Gwen, I realize how difficult this must be for you.

Gwen: I fell in love with you, xander. And you completely changed my life. Now, it feels like you are slipping awaY.

Xander: I’m not slipping away; I’m right here. Come oN. Listen to me, gwen. You and I found each other when the whole world turned its back on us, and we held on to each other. That kind of connection doesn’t come along often.

Gwen: I’m sure our connection just pales in comparison to the epic love story of xander cook and sarah horton. Hm? The devilish rogue and the noble, beautiful doctor.

Xander: Don’t do that. Don’t make light of what you and I sharE. It’s every bit as real as what sarah and I shared. I love you. Gwen, you have to believe that.

Gwen: I want to believe that. I really want to believe that, but it’s very difficult when, in practically the same breath, you are asking me to help you get your old fiancée back. Well, I am your fiancée now. I am your fiancée, xander. And you are still avoiding the question. What happens if–when– when sarah gets better? Will you still want to marry me? Or will you want to marry her?

Tony: Oh, you’re back from the touR. How was it?

Sarah as renee: Oh, lovely, if you like looking at flowers and twigs in the darK. I’m very happy to see you got rid of anna.

Tony: Ah, yes, she left.

Sarah as renee: Hm. Maggie, I really must thank you for your hospitality. And I promise that tony and i will not overstay our welcomE. As soon as our lawyer extracts anna fredericks from the dimera mansion, then we will reclaim what’s ours. Now, if you don’t mind, tony and I would like some time alonE.

Maggie: Ah– [Clears throat] Well, okay. Um, I mean, if– if it’s all right with tony.

Sarah as renee: If it’s all right with him? Why would you think it isn’t?

Tony: Why, indeed? It’s fine with me.

Maggie: Okay then. Well, good night. Hope all goes well.

Sarah as renee: Thank god. I thought she was gonna suggest a round of hot cocoa. When i have something much better in minD.

Brady: Here you go.

Chloe: Thank you. And thank you for letting me wait here with you. The idea of running into my dad at the salem inn right now–

Brady: You’re afraid he’s gonna blame you for leo and chad, right?

Chloe: Ugh, you should’ve seen how upset he was with me earlier. I mean, he accused me of lying and scheming, and he’s right.

Brady: You’re doing it all for his own good, okay?

Chloe: Well, the way he looks at it is that I’m interfering, and it’s none of my business.

Brady: I know, chloe. He’s ticked off right now. But right now he is actually learning who leo stark really is. And eventually, he’s gonna be eternally grateful to you for loving him enough to look out for him.

Chloe: I hope you’re righT.

Brady: I am right. I know I’m grateful to you.

Chloe: Why?

Brady: Why? Let me see. You really have to ask? You have been there for me, right by my side through my worst moments and my best moments, and you’re my constant. I can’t imagine my life without you.

[Tender music]

Craig: So you want all three of us to–

Leo: Have sex. Yes. It was the funniest thing. I was having dinner by my lonesome. There’s a knock at the door. Voila. It’s chadwick. Three sheets to the wind and begging me to sleep with him.

Chad: I didn’t beg.

Leo: He begged. I almost felt embarrassed for the guY. Obviously, my instinct was to kick him out. There is only one man for me, and that is you, craig wesleY. But he was so insistent, so desperate to get into our bed. And then I started thinking about you and how new you are to all of this and I thought, “wait a minute. Chadwick could be like a present.”

Chad: A present?

Leo: Wrapped up in a bow. A gift from me to the man I lovE. Okay, no, no, no. You don’t have to say anything. But I promise you will thank me later.

Craig: I just–I never–

Leo: Of course you haven’T. Of course you haven’T. That’s what you have me for, to help you explorE. And I promise this will bring us closer together, if that is even possible. So gentlemen, what do you say? We ready for our three-way?

Brady: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What’s wrong?

Chloe: Uh, nothing. I’m just– what if your dad walks in like he did last time?

Brady: Chloe, he’s probably asleep.

Chloe: Okay, what about marlena? Or what if they want a snack or a glass of water or something?

Brady: Then they come out here and they catch us making out on the couch like a couple of teenagers, big deal.

Chloe: I would be very embarrassed.

Brady: Really?

Chloe: Yeah.

Brady: Okay, okay. Well, you know, there’s my room.

Chloe: Oh, your room?

Brady: I want to be with you. I want to be with you noW. But if i’m moving too fast–

Chloe: No, you’re not.

Brady: Really?

Chloe: Really.

Craig: I–I have never thought of something like this, but I have heard that there are couples who do this–

Leo: Sounds like a yes to me!

Chad: Yep, nope, that’s it. I’m out. That’s it. This thing–I’m out.

Leo: What’s the problem? What’s the problem? I thought you wanted to hook up.

Chad: No, not with the both of you.

Leo: Why not? Don’t you find craig attractive?

Chad: No! I mean, sorry. YeS. You– you’re a–you’re a fine– you’re a fine-looking per–man. It’s just that I–

Leo: It’s just what, chad? It’s not what you expected, because you and your wife set this whole thing up to trick me into cheating on my boyfriend?

Anna: Ahh!

Abigail: Anna! Oh, my god! Are you all right?

Anna: Oh, I’m sorry.

Abigail: What is it? Is everything okay?

Anna: With me, yes. I’m great. Perfect. I was just clearing my throat.

Abigail: No. You were screaming. So what, did something happen with tony?

Anna: Do not mention that man’s name to me!

Abigail: This has to do with sarah, right?

Anna: No, this is about renee dumonde, who came between tony and me almost 40 years ago. And silly me, I thought her being dead would mean she’s out of our liveS. But no such luck. That woman is back and after my husband again.

Tony: Sarah–renee, I hope you didn’t think that–

Sarah as renee: Oh, i know. I know, that annoying maggie horton could come back any moment wanting to show me her figurines collections. So let’s go upstairs to our bedroom.

Tony: Didn’t maggie tell you? I asked for separate rooms.

Sarah as renee: Separate rooms? Why would you do that?

Tony: Because of anna.

Sarah as renee: Anna? I thought that you were done with that woman. I thought that you wanted to be with me. Isn’t– isn’t that why you’re here?

Xander: GweN. When we got together, I thought sarah had dumped me for her ex, that she– that she didn’t want me anymore, she hated me.

Gwen: Now we know that that wasn’t the case.

Xander: No, it wasn’T. She was drugged and kidnapped.

Gwen: And presumably still very much in love with you. And that changes everything, doesn’t it? For you, for us.

Xander: I don’t know. I– I wish I did. And I do not blame you for being upset. But I have to see this through. I have to at least try and help sarah. Look, don’t worry about coming with me to statesville. I shouldn’t have asked. I’ll go alonE.

Tony: Of course I want to be with you.

Sarah as renee: Then why are you so concerned about anna?

Tony: Because anna and i are still married. And if she finds out that i’ve been unfaithful, she’ll use it in the divorce. She’ll take me to the cleaners.

Sarah as renee: So? Who cares? I’m rich enough for the both of us. Or have you forgotten that i am the sole heir to stefano’s estate?

Tony: Oh. Oh, yeah. Yeah. There is that.

Sarah as renee: You see? Money’s not gonna be a problem for us. So let’s go hit the sack.

Abigail: Well, sarah must have really absorbed what she read in renee’s diary.

Anna: Boy, did she. And all of the diaries to get ahold oF. Couldn’t she have found, I don’t know, maybe dorothy parker’s diary and turned herself into somebody who made us all laugH. But no, she had to become renee dumonde, bitch on wheels, who never gave tony and me a moment’s peace. And now I fear this version of her won’t either.

Abigail: I’m so sorry.

Anna: Yeah, well, hey, I guess I just have to suck it up, right? Especially since tony is taking the high road and– and trying to help. But abigail, it makes me so angry and jealous and all sorts of feelings that I don’t want to havE.

Abigail: Well, hopefully you won’t have to feel them for very lonG.

Anna: I hope so too, obviouslY. And I’m sorry, enough about me. What’s going with you? Where’s chad tonight?

Abigail: Oh, he’s– he’s out right now. He–well– he is pretending to want to have sex with someone he despises in order to help out our friends.

Anna: What?

Abigail: It’s a long story. I don’t think you really need to know it.

Anna: Okay. Wow.

[Chuckles] Wow. If stefano could see his sons now, selflessly helping others instead of plotting world domination.

Leo: Kind of a scream, really, you and the wifey giving me a front row seat to that little act of yours. “You haven’t touched me in months, chad!” And for her encore, greta garbo–i mean abigail dimera came to me and begged me not to sleep with chad no matter how badly he wanted it. Kind of overplayed it, chewed the scenery, as they saY.

Chad: Shut up, abigail’s a great actress.

Leo: It’s hard to believe, but chad has never appreciated all that I have to offer. So your plan was a bust from the beginning. Unless, of course, you want to stay. We could absolutely salvage the eveninG.

Chad: Get out of my way.

Craig: Wait a minute. You–you don’t know me. You have no stake in whether I stay with leo or not, so why are you doing this? Why–why do you care? What’s in it for you?

Leo: Maybe deep down, chad was hoping something really would happen tonight.

Chad: No, what I was hoping for was to show you what a dirtbag he is. Look, craig, I’m really sorry about all this. I did it as a favor for friends, people I care about, who care about what happens to you so much that they would be willing to do anything to try to open your eyes about this con artist. Look, if you’re not willing– if you’re not willing to see who he really is, then it’s on you.

Leo: Said the guy who knocked up his children’s nanny.

Chad: Get out while you still can.

Craig: Damn it.

Leo: Who are you calling?

Craig: My daughter. Obviously, she has something to do with this.

[Tender music]

Sarah as renee: I’ve dreamt of this for so long, tony. Waking up with the sun to make love.

Tony: Uh, yes. Wait.

Sarah as renee: What?

Tony: Wait. Well, it’s not actually about the moneY. It’s anna and her temper. She–oh, she gets so jealous. If she finds out about this– and she will, she’ll drag this out in the court forever. And she’ll– well, neither of us wants that, now do we?

Sarah as renee: We’ve already waited for years.

Tony: Yes, but if we can be patient just a little longer, oh, we can have whatever we want.

Sarah as renee: Patience isn’t exactly my strong suit. But if it means that we can get rid of anna fredericks for good, I’ll try.

Tony: [Chuckles] That’s my girl.

Sarah as renee: [Chuckles]

[Dramatic music]

Anna: Well, I’m off to bed. Not that i will get much sleep, thinking about sarah chasing tony around the kiriakis mansion.

[Cellphone beeps]

[Gasps] It’s from tony. He says he never loved another woman as much as he loves me. And he’s counting the seconds until he can return to me.

Abigail: See? I told you, you have nothing to worry about. Now, if I could just hear from my husband, huh?

Chad: Great. Hi.

Gwen: Hey. You all right? You look a bit, um–

Chad: I’m fine. Thanks. Never better.

Xander: Oh, hey, I’m planning to make a trip to statesville to see rolf. I was just wondering if you have any, you know, pointers on how to handle him right now.

Chad: Is this about finding out if he has the antidote for the drug that kristen gave to sarah?

Xander: You know?

Chad: I dO. Actually, abby and i were already planning to visit hiM.

Xander: Chad, that’s greaT. That’s fantastic.

Chad: Yeah, well, just so you know, we’re doing this for sarah. We couldn’t help chloe, so maybe at least we can help her.

Xander: Chloe?

Chad: Never mind.

Leo: You can’t call chloe, not while you’re this upset.

Craig: Why are you so calm? Chloe and her friends have done nothing but harass you, and now they–they send this chad guy to seduce you? I’m sorry you had to go through this.

Leo: I’m sorry too. You have no idea how much.

Xander: Oh, this is– this is great news. If anyone can get rolf to give up the antidote, it’s stefano’s baby boy. This is just the break we needed– I’ve done it again, haven’t I? I’m sorry, gwen.

Gwen: No, it’s okay. Really, it’s fine. I’m glad that chad can help you.

Xander: Do you mean that?

Gwen: I dO. And if for some reason chad can’t get through to rolf, then i’ll give it a go.

Xander: Really?

Gwen: Not for sarah. But I would do it for you.

[Soft dramatic music]

Brady: That– that was worth the waiT.

[Cellphone beeps] Ignore it. Ignore it.

Chloe: No, no, what if it’s one of the kiddos?

[Sighs] Oh. It’s from chad.

Brady: What happened?

Chloe: Ugh, leo happeneD.

Brady: What do you mean?

Chloe: I guess leo figured out it was a trap.

Brady: Oh, damn it. Really?

Chloe: [Sighs] Yeah. He tried to cover his tracks by texting my dad and pretending like he wanted him to walk in on him and chad. Oh, my god. My dad’s gonna be furious at me. And this whole plan with leo didn’t even work. Ugh.

Abigail: You’re homE. How did it go?

Chad: Well, if you consider almost having your first gay threesome a win, then it was a smashing success.

Craig: I’m sorry, i hope you don’t think I’m a prude.

Leo: For being hesitant about a threesome? Well, then i’m a prude too because I am strictly a one-man kind of guy. And you’re all the man i need. I only threw it out there to call chad’s bluff.

Craig: We should sue his ass.

Leo: Something like that.

Craig: Yeah, I–I– I just don’t– I just don’t think you should have to endure all this because you chose to be with me. I’m–i’m sick of it.

Leo: I am too. But it’s obvious chloe’s not gonna stop.

Craig: No, it doesn’t look that way.

Leo: I just wish that there was some way I could convince her that this is the real deal, that I am a new man because of you and because of our love, and I am in this for the long haul.

Craig: There is something you can do.

Leo: What?

Craig: Marry me.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: Sheila, you can’t lie your way out of what I saw with my very own eyes. You and thomas in the alley, behind il giardino. Now what possible reason is there for that? Answer me! What were you doing with my brother?

Ridge: Well, that came out of nowhere.

Thomas: Out of nowhere? What? I want you to be happy. What’s strange about that?

Ridge: Nothing, you said it’s your turn to look out for me. What does that mean?

Eric: This is a precarious situation for you and you’re scared. I get it. You have a right to be. But you and ridge have been through worse than this. You have. I can’t believe this is the end.

Brooke: I certainly hope you’re right, eric. Ridge and I have been through so much, and it just can’t end this way. It can’T.

Brooke: How am I in a place where I could lose my husband over deacon? And this is a man I don’t care about, except that we share a child together. And if it weren’t for hope, he wouldn’t be in my life. I mean, he hasn’t been for years.

Eric: I know. Look, brooke, we cannot change the things that have happened. We can’t, but what we can have an influence on– on the future of things that are going to happen. Look, you love ridge and he loves you. He always will. He always has. Now, as long as one person believes in a relationship, as long as one person fights for it, it won’t be over.

Thomas: You, uh, you deserve to be happy, right? And– and if there’s any way i can contribute to that, I will, I mean, I owe you that.

Ridge: You owe me that because I’m your dad? And I– I did that for free.

Thomas: No, I– I know. Um– look, it’s just– look brooke’s hurt you in the past, but you also still care about her very much. But I know that you also care about mom and I see you guys together and you have this amazing bond and a calming effect on each other.

Ridge: I know what you’re saying. Brooke, let me down and– and I’d be better off with your mother.

Sheila: I’m not really sure what you’re getting at. Thomas and me?

Steffy: Don’t even try, sheila, I saw you. What possible explanation do you have for holding some kind of secret meeting with my brother?

Sheila: You make it sound like it– it’s so dramatic.

Steffy: Stop dodging.

Sheila: Did you ask thomas?

Steffy: I’m asking you. I want answers now. For copd,

Eric: Don’t lose track of what’s between you. It’s stronger than what you’re facing right now. You got to stay the course.

Brooke: I broke it. I’ve got to fix it.

Eric: You broke it, you got to fix it, that’s right.

Brooke: Okay, okay, I’m willing to do whatever it takes to keep my marriage together. It’s just hard. He’s over there living at steffy’s, and I just feel like steffy and thomas and taylor– they’re just– whether it’s intentional or not, they’re doing whatever they can to pull him away from me.

Eric: Well, don’t get don’t get thrown off by that. Don’t let that bother you. All right? Just believe that you’re going to be back together.

Brooke: I just can’t believe this is happening. We were so happy, I mean, we’d wake up every morning, thrilled to be together, happy that all of our problems were behind us and they were, until I did what I did.

Eric: Yeah well, you weren’t yourself that night.

Brooke: Yeah. Well, then who was I? Who was that stupid woman that sacrificed everything and for what? I just feel like there’s something– something more.

Eric: More?

Brooke: I just feel like there’s this outside force that is doing whatever it possibly can to keep ridge and me apart.

Taylor: Okay, that’s enough. Enough with this whole parent trap thing. Okay?

Thomas: Who me?

Taylor: Yes, you. I– I heard your father when I walked in, he said, “I think you want me to be with your mother.”

Thomas: Yes. So sue me. I do. Yes, I’ve been honest about that. I want you guys together. Sure.

Taylor: But that is our decision to make, if and when we decide to make that decision, and we don’t need our children jumping in and trying to make that decision for us. Thank you.

Ridge: You know, we’ve been grown-ups a long time.

Taylor: Yeah, I mean, we’ve, we’ve been trying anyway.

Ridge: You’ve been trying.

Taylor: You’ve been trying. Just– just ease up, okay?

Ridge: Or maybe just let him do what he’s doing because there are worse things in life than spending time with you.

Taylor: Well, that’s really sweet. See, romance isn’t dead. There are worse things.

Ridge: Still got it. I, um– I have a video call to make, so I gotta try and figure that out. Keep an eye on him.

Thomas: All right. Uh, so obviously, I was right, I was dead on.

Taylor: About what?

Thomas: About you and dad, you’re perfect for each other. Come on, don’t try and deny it.

Taylor: You know, it’s really funny. There– you’re not the only one who thinks that ridge and I belong together.

Thomas: Well, yeah. Steffy has been by my side on this the whole time.

Taylor: Well, yes, your sister has definitely made it abundantly clear what her position is, but no, someone else. Someone, someone unexpected.

Thomas: Who?

Taylor: Sheila.

Sheila: Okay, ya caught me, so you saw me with thomas, so it doesn’t make any sense to say you didn’T.

Steffy: Lying, you mean? That’s good, at least we’re making progress. So why were you having a private conversation with my brother?

Sheila: Is that really so hard to understand? You and your family are extremely important to me, finn is my son, the father to your son. Hayes is– is my flesh and blood, it’s my bloodline.

Steffy: Don’t remind me.

Sheila: Well, you might not like it, but it doesn’t change the fact, hayes is my grandson. You– you might want to try to wish that away, I wish that you wouldn’T. I wish you’d accept me for the woman that I am today, or– or at least give me an opportunity to prove that to you the way that your mother has. There’s only one thing I want in this entire world, and that is to have a life with finn and hayes.

Steffy: And where exactly does thomas fit in?

Sheila: Thomas has influence over you, and I thought that if– if I could show him that– that I really am good, that he’d have a chance at convincing you.

Steffy: He can’T.

Sheila: Then I’ll find another way because I won’t give up on my family. And that’s exactly what you are, steffy. I get choked up even thinking about it, family. I finally belong to one. I love you all so very much.

Steffy: And that scares me more than anything. Hi, I’m karen.

Ridge: No, you’re right, that’s what we’ll do. All right, good work.

[ Computer dinging ]

Steffy: This feels right. We feel like a family again.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Oh, you remember what your mom used to say? It’s not a family moment–

All: Without a family hug.

Thomas: Right, right.

Brooke: I love you and I miss you. So just please, please come home.

[ Door clicking ]

Ridge: Hey.

Brooke: Hi. I had to see you.

Ridge: I’m glad you’re here.

Thomas: Okay, so you’ve been talking to sheila.

Taylor: Well, I’ve been– I’ve been listening, she talks.

Thomas: Okay, so… um, how did this happen?

Taylor: Well, you know, I–I told you that sheila’s been coming by the office, it’s just been happening more frequently.

Thomas: For how long?

Taylor: Since I got my new office? Look, I think she just– she wants an ally in her campaign, so that finn and hayes will be in her life, and– and she knows how much that I want to believe she’s changed and I think she’s trying to prove it to me.

Thomas: Yeah, mom, I don’t like the idea of you being alone with sheila.

Taylor: Oh honey, I got it. It’s okay. I mean, I– she’s a fascinating case study. She really is.

Thomas: A serial killer is a great case study, but you don’t put yourselves in a cage with them, like–

Taylor: Honey, this is my job. It’s– it’s pretty interesting to watch her wheels turning all the time. Good or evil? That’s– that’s the question. You know?

Thomas: Yeah, as it is with psychopaths, okay, um. You said that that she likes the idea of you being with dad?

Taylor: She thinks that ridge and I belong together, and she doesn’t think that brooke deserves ridge. But I– I think that it’s her animosity towards brooke that’s fueling all of this. I told her to keep that in check and not to lash out. I also told her that no matter where we are with brooke, whether we’re at odds or not, that we will stand behind brooke against sheila any day of the week. I think she understands that, I hope she does.

Sheila: Steffy, the last thing I want to do is scare you, you’re my daughter-in-law.

Steffy: Do not touch me.

Sheila: I love you. Your entire family.

Steffy: Oh my god, I don’t wanna hear it anymore, you’re never going to be welcome in my family.

Sheila: Look, I realize that I have a ways to prove myself, but I will. I’ll earn a place in finn and hayes’ lives. You know, I–I really look forward to the day that that you trust me enough that maybe I could even take my grandson to the park or the beach.

Steffy: Are you delusional? You’re never gonna be alone with my son.

Sheila: Well, you may feel that way right now, but I’m going to work on that and– you know, I’m going to work hard and put in the time so that you feel comfortable having me around.

Steffy: I’m never going to feel comfortable. So you might as well make your way back to genoa city.

Sheila: Do you see this? This is proof. Proof that I’ve changed. And the old me would have been insulted ten minutes ago and lashed out at you, but no, here I stand with an open heart willing to take whatever you dish out so that I can– I can be accepted in the family that I am a part of. Steffy, I’m an asset to you. You have no idea the friend that I’ve already been to you and your mother.

Steffy: You’re never going to be a friend, sheila. If you want to do something, you can stay away. From me, finn, thomas, my son. My mother. Just stay the hell away.

Sheila: If only you knew what I have done! Ooh, you would be a lot nicer to me, steffy. S and you being in that big house all alone. And everything tha

Ridge: You know, I’ve been thinking about you. I’ve been thinking about us. And everything that’s happened and how bad this timing is. Everything that you’re going through and– and me being at steffy’s and you being in that big house all alone. I’m– I’m concerned about you, I want you to be okay.

Brooke: I want us to be okay and I wanted to try to fix the mistake that I made, and instead of doing that, I ended up making another mistake. The gift that keeps on giving, I guess,

Ridge: What do you– what do you– I don’t–

Brooke: Well, I, um, I told you that you could have a divorce, which is not what I want, ridge. I was just saying that because I thought maybe that was something that would make you happy, but you know what? I take it all back. I do. I take it all back. I don’t want that. I want you to come home, come on, you are my husband. And that’s where you belong. You don’t have to stay in the bedroom, you can stay in the guest wing, but I need you home with me to work this out. It’s– it’s important.

Ridge: It’s important– what do you mean?

Brooke: It’s important, ridge, because I– I take full responsibility. I do, for everything that I did, but I just feel there’s something else. I can’t explain it. I just I feel like there’s this outside force that– that’s trying to tear us apart and we can’t let that happen. This can’t be our fate.

[ Phone dialing ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Thomas: Hey, you can’t call me whenever you feel like it. All right? I’m at work. You know, forrester creations, named forrester like ridge forrester, someone who cannot know about the secret we’re keeping.

Sheila: There’s something that you need to know.

Thomas: Um– I’m on a call. What’s up?

Man: Sorry, I thought carter was in here.

Thomas: No worries.

Man: Any idea where I might find him?

Thomas: He actually stepped off campus for a meeting. Anything else?

Man: Nope, I’m good.

Thomas: Okay. Yes. I’m back.

Sheila: I have a very unpleasant visit today.

Thomas: Yeah, well, I’ve had a rather unpleasant couple of days, at least, keeping your secret. It’s weighing on me, sheila. This doesn’t feel right.

Sheila: Thomas.

Thomas: No, sheila, you listen to me. I don’t think that keeping this secret is the right move.

Sheila: Oh, so you suffer a little, but, you remember why you’re doing this, to clear a way for a future between taylor and ridge. Your parents can be together again, and I know that that’s something that you and steffy have wanted for a very long time.

Thomas: Yeah, look, I’m not going to deny it. Obviously, I want my parents together, they’re perfect for each other. Every time that they’re in the room, they light each other’s lives.

Sheila: Yeah, well, they have a real chance. At a life together that brooke took away from them, all you have to do is stay quiet and just let things play out.

Thomas: You know, before i found out about what really happened, I thought, “there’s no way my parents don’t end up together.” But after what you did to brooke, it was evil, it was disgusting, diabolical. You made brooke think that she was drinking nonalcoholic champagne, you switched to bottle labels. She was drinking real booze, which led her to then drinking vodka, which led her to making out with deacon, and spending the night. Brooke has a disease. She’s an alcoholic, okay? She didn’t drink on her own. You sabotaged her. You poisoned her. And that kiss with deacon, that never would have happened, if she hadn’t been drinking. You were pulling all the strings.

Sheila: Am I supposed to feel sorry?

Thomas: Brooke has been in a living hell. She still has no idea what possessed her to drink that night. It was you, manipulating everyone and you expect me to keep this secret? You’re the one tearing apart my father’s marriage, so you can try and have a place in steffy and finn’s lives.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nick: I wish we’d hear something.

Victor: Be patient, son.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I’m trying, dad.

Victor: What happened to your sister last night must be utterly devastating and traumatizing. What ashland locke has done to your sister is going to take a long time to get over.

Nikki: Yes, your father is right. It’s important that we give her this time to sort through her feelings, although I was really hoping that I would hear from her assistant by now. Let us know she’s in the office.

Nick: We don’t know if she’s gonna go into work today.

Nikki: Yes, she will. She’s a lot like your father in that regard. Focusing on work has gotten her through many heartbreaks in the past.

Nick: We don’t know if she can use work as a distraction, you know, thanks to ashland. He is co-owner of newman/locke. He’s co-ceo.

Victor: I will promise you that ain’t gonna last very long. We’re gonna cut that bastard out of our family and out of the family business.

Nikki: In a way that protects victoria’s dignity and privacy.

Victor: Of course, that goes without saying.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Nick: What’s wrong?

Victor: My security team just saw victoria at crimson lights, and ashland locke has joined her.

Ashland: Victoria, I…

[ Chuckles ] I just thank god, I’m so relieved I found you. I was…I was hoping that you would come home last night so we could talk.

Victoria: Why? What would be the point? You just declared that you weren’t gonna try anymore to save our marriage.

Ashland: Words that i regretted the moment I said them. But I would think you already know that, assuming you read my texts.

Victoria: I did.

Ashland: But you didn’t respond. B-because you believe what your family is saying about me.

Victoria: Well, what am i supposed to believe? You’ve offered me no explanation, no defense whatsoever.

Ashland: I chose, in the moment, to not dignify their insulting accusations, but I do think I gave you something you could believe in. I told you how much I love you, how much I need you. And I’m sure you could see that came straight from my heart.

Chance: [ Imitates engine ] Whoa! Here we go, dom! Off daddy’s arm, onto the couch, and [Imitates engine] Here it comes, the magical flying car coming in for a landing.

[ Imitates brakes squealing ]

[ Laughs ] Ahh, that’s fun, huh, man? You like that? Yeah? I’ll tell you what, man, by the time you’re driving, there will probably be flying cars. Yeah, how about that?

Abby: Wow, sounds very exciting. Dominic has a lot of amazing things to look forward to.

Chance: Check it out, dom. Mommy’s coming to play with us. Hey, mommy.

Abby: [ Laughs ] Well, it looks like you guys are having so much fun. Why don’t I make a snack?

Chance: Oh, boy, a snack. What do you think, man? You ready to chow down? “That’s a big affirmative, mommy.”

Abby: [ Laughs ] Coming right up.

[ Laughs ]

Chance: Here it comes. We’re off into the takeoff. It’s flying through the air. It’s incredible. Here it comes.

[ Imitates engine ]

Nick: Damn it, I bet you ashland is stalking her.

Victor: Okay, we need to get over there.

Nick: Alright, let’s go.

Nikki: Alright, wait a minute, wait a minute. Before we go rushing over to her defense, let’s think about this.

Nick: What is there to think about?

Nikki: As much as we hate the idea of ashland being anywhere near her, she’s not in any danger. She’s in a public place. She can handle herself, and if there is a problem, your man is standing by ready to intervene.

Nick: We don’t know what her frame of mind is. If she is vulnerable, ashland will take advantage of that.

Nikki: I know, but if we go in there like the cavalry, she’s gonna resent it, and then ashland will take advantage of that.

Victor: Son, just go over there and check it out, please.

Nikki: Alright, look, whatever you do, please don’t make a scene.

Nick: Don’t worry, I’ll finesse things.

Nikki: Thank you.

Nick: And I promise you I’m not gonna hit him, as much as i want to.

Nikki: Oh, good thinking.

Victor: [ Sighs ]

Nikki: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: I heard every word that you said. But what I saw in your eyes told a different story. I saw fear. And I saw desperation. Where was that coming from?

Ashland: I welcome the chance to discuss that with you, but… not here, please. Can we just go home?

Victoria: Answer the question.

Billy: Give him hell, vick. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Victoria: I have never seen you run scared from my family before.

Ashland: I didn’t run scared. I saw what your family was doing to you with their constant harassment. They were pouring poison into your mind, and there was nothing I could do to fight it. I can’t answer their questions because I don’t know yet who’s setting me up.

Victoria: Is that really still your excuse, that you’re being framed?

Ashland: Yeah! Because I am.

Victoria: Some unknown person erased all evidence of your cancer records here in the us and then bribed doctors in some clinic in peru, and then linked the payments to one of your divisions to make it look like you were behind it?

Ashland: Victoria, I have made so many enemies over the years. It could be any number of people, but without solid facts to defend myself, how could you possibly expect me to stand up against your parents, your brothers, your family, your friends?

[ Sighs ] Not to mention — was I supposed to isolate you from the people who care about you the most? I couldn’t do that. That wasn’t right.

Victoria: Oh, so you did this for my sake.

Ashland: Yeah, it was a difficult moment. My thinking was muddled, but, yes, my instinct was to protect you. It always is. And — and I have no doubt that you did see desperation in my eyes, because I was about to lose the woman I love, the woman who has stood by me and fought for me, even when we thought i had nothing to fight for. It was one thing for you to stand by me fighting my cancer, but for you to go to war with your entire family? I couldn’t ask you to do that.

Victoria: So you’re saying that I’m the problem, because of my lack of faith in you.

Ashland: Exactly the opposite. I don’t blame you for being influenced by their doubts.

Victoria: This has nothing to do with anyone influencing me.

Ashland: O– okay. That was a poor choice of words. I apologize. Let me start again. I know better than anyone what a strong-willed, independent woman you are. But this so-called evidence against me would be too much for anyone to ignore.

Ashland: Now, I-I am determined to find out who’s setting me up and to show you that I am still the man you fell in love with. Who loves you with all his heart and soul.

Victoria: If you lied to me about being sick, then you don’t really love me.

Ashland: You said “if.” Is there still some part of you that trusts me enough to know that I would never do anything like that to you?

Billy: No. Victoria, do not let him get away with this.

Chance: Oh, it’s coming down!

[ Groans ] I could hear my team inside. And they were yelling. That hurt much worse than the shrapnel in my leg, I’ll tell you. Some of the toughest people i know screaming for their lives. I couldn’t move. Felt pretty worthless. After that, there was just silence. And I knew what that meant. I got on my feet. I looked for survivors, you know, calling out names, digging through the rubble, but I got nothing. The bastards that did it showed up looking for survivors, as well. I played dead until they left… surrounded by my friends’ bodies, and I hid. Why did I survive when they didn’t? Why me?

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

Ashland: Thank you for taking this time with me. You didn’t have to. I’m sure you’d rather be at the office right now, running our company.

Victoria: I know I can count on my mom to handle things until I get in.

Ashland: Did you stay at the ranch last night?

Victoria: I needed time to think.

Billy: Stop, stop, stop. Victoria’s talking to ashland. Do not interrupt them. I’m hoping she’s about to throw that hot cup of coffee in his face.

Nick: How much do you know?

Billy: Everything. She told me everything. I have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.

Abby: Snack time.

Chance: Oh, boy. Did you hear that, dom? It’s snack time. I tell you what, you do not know how good you got it, man. Your mom is the best. And she’s beautiful — look at her. And fun, and she is a great cook, I’ll tell you what.

Abby: Oh, yes, it takes great culinary skill to put some cheese and crackers on a plate.

Chance: Well, she’s also very kind and understanding and patient.

Abby: Hmm. It sounds like you want something.

Chance: She’s also very perceptive.

Abby: What do you need, chance? Whatever it is, all you have to do is ask.

Billy: I can’t tell you how pissed off I am that he screwed her over the way that he did. Not that I’m surprised. I assume you’re not either, ’cause we had his number from the beginning.

Nick: I hope that’s not what you said to her.

Billy: Close.

Nick: I bet that went over well.

Billy: Actually, she admitted that we were right. She’s mad at herself that she fell for his garbage.

Nick: He’s the one she should be mad at.

Billy: She is. Believe me, she is. Or…she was. Thought she was gonna smack him when he first walked in. Then he started giving her that stupid look that he’s perfected, all pained and sincere. Like he’s the victim — he’s done it his entire life. You think she’d see through it by now.

Ashland: I was up most of the night, thinking about the terrible mistake I made. It was wrong of me to walk out on you the way I did. You are more than capable of making your own decisions, and it’s not my place to do that for you. If you can’t get past your doubts about me, I will understand that. I will respect your wishes, whatever they are. But if there is the slightest chance that you’re willing to wait for me until I can clear my name…that would be a miracle.

Victoria: I think everything is going to work out.

Ashland: Do you mean that?

Victoria: I need to deal with my family.

Ashland: Let me go with you. I can —

Victoria: No, I’d like to do it alone.

Ashland: But — but —

Victoria: I’ll be fine.

Ashland: Okay.

Victoria: I’ll meet you afterwards at society.

Ashland: I’ll be waiting.

[ Sighs ] This means the world to me. You have no idea.

Nick: What the hell?

Nikki: Oh, this waiting…

Victor: Believe me, I wish we had heard something by now.

Nikki: There’s an executive staff meeting in 10 minutes. I’ll have to cover for victoria and ashland.

Victor: How are you gonna explain their absence?

Nikki: By being as vague as possible.

Victor: We have to keep it quiet about what happened last night, okay? Until that scum’s out of the company, I don’t want anyone to know about it.

Nikki: When victoria’s ready, we will all sit down together and hammer out a strategy.

Victor: I think you’re more worried about victoria than you’re letting on.

Nikki: Well, yes, of course I’m worried. Ashland has lied to her before, but never anything like this. This is a crushing betrayal, and we saw how devastated she was when she finally admitted what he had done.

Victor: I think once the shock wears off, she will want to be rid of that loser as much as we do.

Nikki: Well, don’t expect that to happen overnight. It’s going to take a while for her to get over this. I mean, this marriage was her dream. Falling in love with ashland was effortless for her. He adored her — or so she thought. He told her everything that she had longed to hear. Now all of that has been shattered, along with her sense of judgment. And this is even worse than when things ended with billy. I mean, god knows they tried to make that work so many times. But she trusted a–

Victor: Hold on a second.

Nikki: What?

Victor: Oh, my goodness.

Nikki: What?

Victor: Nicholas is watching ashland and victoria. Oh, my god. And she just went into his arms. That bastard is manipulating her. I’m gonna have to put a stop to that.

Nikki: [ Sighs ]

Ashland: Are you sure you don’t want me to go with you, face your family together?

Victoria: If you’re asking me to trust you, then you have to trust me.

Ashland: You’re right. Of course you’re right. You’re always right.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] You’ve been handling your family for a long time, long before i came into the picture. You know best how to deal with them. I just can’t help wanting to look out after you, to protect you. It’s instinctive.

Victoria: But if you’re there, it’s just gonna make everything more tense, and there’s nothing that you can say to my family that’s gonna convince them that you’re innocent without proof, and — and you don’t have that yet.

Ashland: But you know I’m not gonna stop until I do have it.

Victoria: Yes, I know. I know that you’re — you’re relentless.

Ashland: I was thinking i might never see that smile again.

Victoria: Never is an awfully long time.

Ashland: Still, it’s all I’m living for now. To make sure that you and I are gonna be okay. That is everything. Good luck.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Thanks.

Ashland: Not that you’re gonna need it.

Billy: What was that?

Victoria: Have you been spying on me this whole time? What is he doing here? Did you call him?

Nick: Absolutely not.

Billy: And we weren’t spying on you, okay? I was still here when he walked in, and I wanted to stick around to make sure that you were okay. We didn’t interrupt because we were hoping we were gonna watch you kick his ass to the curb.

Nick: Instead it’s all hugs and kisses? You cannot be serious.

Victoria: I don’t have to explain myself to either one of you.

Nick: Do not tell me you’re gonna forgive this lying creep again.

Victoria: Okay, I won’T.

Nick: Vick, come on.

Victoria: Nicholas, why can you not just trust me for once? I know what I’m doing. And thank you for listening to me earlier and respecting me. It meant a lot.

Nick: I don’t like this at all.

Abby: Come, sit.

Chance: I can see you’re upset.

Abby: I’m not upset. I’m just worried, and please don’t tell me that there isn’t any reason to be.

Chance: Okay. Well, before you ask, yes, I am still having panic attacks, nightmares, you know, the disturbing thoughts. All that hasn’t gone away just yet.

Abby: Yeah, I saw you fighting through one a moment ago.

Chance: Yeah, but I’m okay. Really, things are getting better, I promise. Sometimes it just — it just sneaks up on me, you know? Less often than before.

Abby: And I assume this is something that you shared with your therapist?

Chance: Yeah, yeah. Dr. Huffman is, you know, helping me understand these a little bit better, what’s going on up here when they’re happening. He taught me some breathing exercises, some relaxation techniques to help.

Abby: Good, I’m glad.

Chance: But he also recommended something else, and in order to follow through on that, I’m really gonna need your support.

Abby: Of course, absolutely, yeah, I will support you any way that I can.

Chance: Well, you might want to wait and hear what it is first, ’cause I have a feeling you’re not gonna like what he recommended.

Abby: Try me.

Nick: What did victoria say to you before ashland showed up? How did she seem?

Billy: I think you should go find your sister and ask her yourself.

Nick: I can’t do that, billy. If I push it any more with her, it could really backfire.

Billy: Yeah, that’s true.

Nick: So when you talked to her, what did she say? Was she making excuses for ashland? Was she trying to come up with reasons to believe his story?

Billy: No. Not at all. She told me flat-out that he lied about everything. She said she looked in his eyes and knew that he was guilty.

Nick: Thank god.

Billy: We also talked about him being potentially dangerous.

Nick: Are you serious?

Billy: Yes, which is why i don’t understand what the hell just happened. How does that conversation end with them being affectionate?

Nick: Well, think about it, he’s still co-owner of newman/locke. He is the co-ceo. He’s got all this leverage on her. As much as we would’ve liked to have seen her go off on him, maybe it’s not her best move.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Victor: Where’s victoria?

Nick: She’s — she’s already gone.

Victor: You and I need to talk in private.

Billy: No, I’m good. She told me about everything.

Victor: Did she?

Billy: Which is why you should’ve teamed up with me in the beginning. We could’ve stopped ashland in his tracks.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: Hi. It’s me. I need to see you right away.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Chance: How was he? He go to sleep okay?

Abby: Yes, all that play time with daddy wore him out.

[ Chuckles ]

Chance: We’re gonna have to work on his stamina, huh?

Abby: Yeah. Okay, so I am all yours. Please tell me what dr. Huffman suggested to help you work through this.

Chance: Well…it’s funny you phrase it that way, because he thinks I should literally work through it. He thinks I should go back to the police force.

Abby: Wow, okay.

[ Chuckles ] Well, that is the last thing i expected your therapist to say.

Chance: Why do you say that?

Abby: I mean, didn’t you tell him about what happened when you went on the stakeout with rey?

Chance: Yeah, of course. Of course I did. I mean, we had a very detailed conversation about the whole thing.

Abby: And?

Chance: Well, we agreed that, at the time, I was expecting too much of myself. And now I can approach it, you know, differently.

Abby: Okay, um…look, I know that dr. Huffman is a professional and I’m not trying to second-guess what he said, but, I mean, it’s just — it’s really hard for me to fathom that he would want you to go back to work, to put yourself under that kind of pressure when you’re not ready.

Chance: He thinks I am ready.

Abby: But — but clearly you haven’t healed from the trauma that you suffered in spain — the nightmares and the flashbacks are proof of that.

Chance: I think his idea is that getting back to my normal routine and building up my confidence in these certain situations, that’s all gonna be part of the healing process. But, listen, I understand if you have reservations or concerns. And if you’re uncomfortable with it, that’s fine. I don’t have to do it.

[ Knock on door ]

Nikki: Here I am. I’m so glad you called.

Victoria: How was the staff meeting?

Nikki: Oh, uneventful. I just said that you and ashland couldn’t make it and let it go at that. You seem tired, honey.

Victoria: I didn’t sleep much.Nikki: I don’t think any of us did.

Victoria: I’m sorry that i didn’t get back to you and your texts. I turned my phone off. I just needed some time to myself last night.

Nikki: Oh, no, I’m glad that you took it. How are you feeling now?

Victoria: Better. Where’s dad? I would assume that he would be with you.

Nikki: Actually, he left to go find you.

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] I’m sure he knew exactly where to find me. And don’t deny that he had me followed. I’m pretty sure I saw one of his security team outside my hotel, and then nicholas showed up at crimson lights when I was there. Surprise, surprise.

Nikki: We didn’t intend invade your privacy. We just wanted to make sure you were alright.

Victoria: And that I wasn’t with ashland.

Nikki: Well, we didn’t want him harassing you.

Victoria: After he made his dramatic announcement that he’s walking away from our marriage.

Nikki: Oh, none of us put much stock in that.

Victoria: Well, you were right.

Nikki: What do you mean? I know that you spoke to ashland at the coffee house. Did he admit to lying about being sick?

Victoria: No, no such luck. He insists still that he’s being set up and he’s going to “prove his innocence.”

Nikki: But you don’t believe that.

Victoria: Mother, I’m only willing to get into this once. Would you please call nicholas and dad and have them come back here? And I’ll tell you everything that you need to know.

Victor: Billy boy, I’m not interested in your opinion.

Billy: Oh, that’s too bad, ’cause if you were interested back in tuscany, victoria wouldn’t be in this situation, would she?

Nick: This isn’t doing any good. We all want the same thing here, and that is to get victoria out of this disaster of a marriage.

Victor: Let me ask you, what was she doing in locke’s arms?

Nick: I don’t know, dad. I asked her about it.

Victor: Did she have any explanation?

Nick: None. She just insisted that she knows what she’s doing.

Billy: I talked to her before ashland got here, and believe me, she was furious with him.

Nick: It’s hard to know where her head is.

Victor: Excuse me. Yes, darling. Is victoria with you?

Nikki: Yes, she’s back in the office, and she would like to speak to all of us together.

Victor: We’ll be right over. Let’s go, son. Did I ask you to come along? This is a family affair. You stay out of it.

Billy: My kids are part of that family, so you damn well better believe that I’m gonna protect their interests.

Victor: Stay out of it, billy boy. I’m warning you.

Nick: Dad, come on. Want strong hair even after coloring?

Abby: I’m not asking you to drop the idea of going back to work. I want that for you. I mean, that has always been the goal. That is why I had encouraged therapy in the first place. I just — I need help understanding why dr. Huffman is taking this position.

Chance: Okay, well, I’ll do my best to explain.

Abby: Why does he think that doing this now wouldn’t be too much, too soon?

Chance: Abby, I’m in a better place. I am. Yes, I am still struggling with some things, I know. But when I went on that stakeout with rey — first of all, that was a very impulsive decision. I did not think that through at all. And second, there were certain uncertainties, certain pressures that have faded since then, right? You know, dominic was sick, and we didn’t know why. We weren’t sure about sharing custody with devon. We didn’t know how that was gonna go. I mean, I had so much uncertainty on so many different fronts. That’s not the case now. I feel good and I feel like I’m back on the right track.

Abby: Yeah. I do, too.

Chance: And look, I’m certain that this guy knows what he’s talking about. I trust him. Getting mentally stronger, it’s not about just sitting around and waiting to get better, right? It’s like exercising a muscle — you got to do a little bit at a time and build yourself back up.

Abby: Okay, so you’re not talking about throwing yourself back into work full force.

Chance: No. I will pace myself, I promise. I will see how things go. And look, I know I’m gonna have setbacks. I know there are gonna be days that are worse than others. I am more equipped to handle all that now. I am. I understand that this is part of the process. Failure is inevitable sometimes. Things go wrong, and people make mistakes. It doesn’t have to define you or hold you back.

Abby: Well, I can tell that you put a great deal of thought into this. And I would never want to be the one standing in your way.

Chance: Are you kidding me? That’s not what you’re doing. I understand your concerns are out of love. I do. But I’m confident that this is a step I need to take.

Abby: Then…so am I.

Chance: Thank you. Thank you for being the most supportive partner a man could ask for, really.

Victoria: So at the staff meeting, how did the division heads react to the new vacation policy?

Nikki: Oh, most were in favor. The employees who have children like the idea of being able to sync up their days off with the school calendar.

Victoria: I don’t foresee that being an issue, do you?

Nikki: No, no, I think we should implement it and see how things go, reassess it at the end of the year.

Victoria: Agreed.

[ Sighs ] What?

Nikki: I knew that work would be what brought you back to us, and I’m so glad. But we shouldn’t pretend that a major upheaval hasn’t just taken place.

Victoria: I’m not pretending.

Nikki: No?

Victoria: No, I’m compartmentalizing.

Nikki: I see.

Victoria: It’s my strong suit, okay?

Nikki: Darling, no one is questioning your strength. You don’t have to prove yourself to anybody. You were deceived — we all were. And the only one to blame for that is ashland. But we’re your family and we will stand by you.

Victoria: Well, that’s great, mom, but we might have different ideas of what that should look like.

Nikki: Meaning what?

[ Door opens ]

Victor: We’ve been very worried about you.

Victoria: I gave you good reason to worry by running off the way that I did. I’m sorry about that.

[ Sighs ] I was just reacting to the bomb exploding, and… but I wanted to reassure you that I am not falling apart, and nor do I plan to.

Billy: Hey, ashland.

Ashland: Hello, billy.

Billy: How’s everything in your world?

Ashland: Fantastic. How are you?

Billy: I’m good. Good, thank you for asking. Yeah, really loving my gig at chancellor. Most fulfilling job I’ve ever had, which I’m sure is annoying to you since you tried to ruin my career.

Ashland: Oh, I was just hoping that you would learn a lesson, that’s all. And back the hell off. Apparently you’ve done both, so good for you.

Billy: You always land on your feet, don’t you? Even though you lied, cheated, and stole your way into your so-called accomplishments in life, including your name. And even when you get caught, nothing sticks. I wouldn’t count on that continuing if I were you.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] Pain hits fast.

Abby: Mmm.

[ Chuckles ] Unfortunately, I have to slow this down.

[ Scoffs ]

Chance: Should we — should we check on dom first, yeah?

Abby: No, I have to get to society. I told the manager I’d go over some things with her.

Chance: Okay. Are you sure you want me to go back to work? Right.

Abby: I love you.

Chance: Alright.

[ Sighs ] Hey, rey. How you doing? Excellent. Yeah. Well, listen, man, I was hoping we could meet up. There’s something I’d like to talk to you about.

Ashland: You seem so delighted at the prospect of my eventual downfall. Is that just wishful thinking or do you know something i don’t?

Billy: It’s inevitable.

Ashland: Based on?

Billy: You can only roll the dice so many times before it comes up snake eyes.

Ashland: Said the man with the gambling problem.

Billy: And you made the mistake of marrying a woman as savvy as victoria.

Ashland: I think it’s the smartest thing I’ve ever done.

Billy: Well, I trust that sooner or later, she’s gonna see through you. And when she does, I would not want to be standing in your $10,000 italian shoes. Thank you.

Victor: To be frank with you, I’m stunned that you’re coping as well as you are. I mean, the last few days must have been horrendously difficult for you.

Victoria: Stop it.

Nikki: Darling, please just hear him out.

Victor: Sweetheart, I think you’re still in a state of shock. What ashland locke has done to you, basing your entire relationship on a lie.

Victoria: Daddy, don’t patronize me. I know exactly what I’m doing.

Victor: I’m not patronizing you.

Nick: It’s the same thing she said to me right after I saw her kissing ashland.

Nikki: What? You kissed him?

Victoria: Alright, listen up, all of you, because I’m only gonna say this once. I intend to handle this how i see fit, on my own, and you don’t have to like it.

Victor: Sweetheart, excuse me, what has come over you? How are you gonna handle ashland locke?

Victoria: I’m meeting him when I leave here, and I’m gonna tell him that nothing has to change between us and that i still love him.

[Soft music]

Nicole: [Sighs] Can you believe this is happening finally?

Rafe: Pretty sure it is. Unless we’re both having the same dream.

Nicole: Oh, god, I hope not.

Rafe: Yeah.

Nicole: Because I don’t ever wanna wake up.


EJ: So Rafe Hernandez was found innocent. Lucky bastard.

Orpheus: Heard you lost your cellmate today.

EJ: Yes, Weston got paroled. Good for him.

Orpheus: You really think that?

EJ: Why wouldn’t I?

Orpheus: Maybe because he tried to have you killed.


Ciara: I hate this, Ben.

Ben: Yeah, well, I don’t love it myself, Ciara.

Ciara: Your dad just shows up out of the blue, and you let him move in here, really?

Ben: He’s not gonna stay here that long, I promise you.

Ciara: Ben, babe, I…

Clyde: Hey, everything okay?

Ben: Yeah, everything’s good.

Clyde: Look, if I’m creating a problem by staying here, just say so

Ciara: You are making a problem.


Brady: So do you think Leo bought your act?

Abigail: He seemed to. I mean, I went on quite dramatically about how he’s the reason my marriage is falling apart. You know, Chad won’t stop talking about him, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

Brady: Well, I’m sure he enjoyed that.

Abigail: Oh, he ate it up. Believe me. So how are things going on your side?

Brady: Well, Chloe and I tailed Craig to the hospital like a bunch of secret agents.

Abigail: What is he doing at the hospital?

Brady: We’re not sure yet. Chloe’s there now; she’s gonna try to intercept Craig to stall him long enough for Chad to work his magic on Leo.

Abigail: Poor Chad.

Brady: Hopefully, Chloe will send Craig home at the right time.

Abigail: Yep, to find Leo in bed with my husband.


[Knocking on door]

Craig: Come in

Chloe: Dad, hi.

Craig: Sweetheart. This is a surprise. How did you know I was here?

Chloe: I just ran into Steve and Kayla, and they said that you took her job.

Craig: Yeah, look. Look, Kayla was gonna lose her job no matter what. I just presented the board with a viable alternative.

Chloe: And was that your idea or Leo’s?

[Tense music]


 

Leo: You’re here to see me? Why?

Chad: You alone?

Leo: Yeah. Craig is at his new job.

Chad: So then does that mean that you and I… that we can talk privately?

Leo: About what?

Chad: Ah. Can I just come in please? Can I come in?

Leo: Okay, why not?


 

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

[Soft orchestration]


 

Chad: Mind if I have a drink?

Leo: Looks like it wouldn’t be your first.

[Soft music]

 

Chad: I’ve had a very rough day. Abby and I, we got in a… a big fight.

Leo: I know. She was just here.

Chad: She came here?

Leo: Mm-hmm.

Chad: What did she say?

Leo: She’s pretty upset. She accused me of causing trouble between the two of you.

Chad: [Laughs] That’s ridiculous. I don’t know what she’s talking about. I don’t know what she’s…

Leo: Well, for starters, she says that you call out my name in your sleep.

Chad: Okay. I explained that to her. I was dreaming about a dog that I had when I was a kid. His name was Leo.

Leo: I don’t think she was convinced, and neither am I.

Chad: It wasn’t about you. I loved that dog. It was a schnauzer. You are the last thing on my mind, trust me.

Leo: Oh yeah? Then what are you doing here?


Craig: Leo believes me in me, Chloe. And, yes, when we found out that the chief of staff position might become available, Leo suggested that I lobby for the position.

Chloe: Oh, I knew it.

Craig: Well, I’m qualified, and I need a job!

Chloe: What, why?

Craig: Because I’m bound to be fired from the one I have now thanks to your mother badmouthing me to all of my colleagues and anyone else in New York who’ll listen that I split up with her because of Leo.

Chloe: I’m sorry that she’s doing that, but that doesn’t mean that you’re entitled to Kayla’s job.

Craig: Look, you don’t understand what’s going on. Kayla refused to fire Marlena.

Chloe: And why on earth would she do that anyway?

Craig: Because the board has a problem with someone claiming that they’re possessed by the devil. All I did was I tossed my hat in the ring. If I didn’t, they’d hire someone else.

Chloe: Okay, so it’s really awful for Kayla and Marlena, but the point is, Leo put you up to this. Dad, I can’t understand why you don’t see that he’s pulling you into his schemes and his lies. Come on!

Craig: You know what, Chloe? From the way I see it, the only one scheming and lying is you.


Rafe: [Sighs] Can we do this every night?

Nicole: We can do whatever you want now that Ava’s out of the picture.

Rafe: Ah, Ava. I really thought she’d changed.

Nicole: So did I. But the way she tried framing you, that’s a bona fide Vitali move. I just hope she’s done trying stuff like that.

Rafe: You try not to worry about it, okay? ‘Cause if she tries that again, I’m ready for her.

Nicole: Well, cheers to your freedom.

Rafe: Yeah, and to us. You know, aside from the obvious reasons that I didn’t wanna go to prison, I didn’t want to miss this. A night with you.

Nicole: All right. What’s the less obvious reasons?

Rafe: Well, I was worried I might end up in a cell with Elvis, Jr.


EJ: It’s Harp, right? Milo Harp?

Orpheus: I told you to call me Orpheus.

EJ: Wasn’t Orpheus known for his musical skills?

Orpheus: And for going to hell to find his woman and coming back alive.

EJ: Hmm. Well, Orpheus, I’m afraid you’ve been misinformed. I was shot by some random drug addict.

Orpheus: Save the fake news for somebody else. Before he blew out of here, Clyde told me you know the truth. That he was responsible for your near-death experience.

EJ: Clyde and I hashed it out. He expressed remorse for what he did.

Orpheus: And he was so convincing that you said let bygones be bygones?

EJ: Let’s just say I’ve agreed not to turn him in.

Orpheus: Good move. Because I’m sure here to make sure you keep your mouth shut.


Ben: Could we talk about this when Clyde’s not in the room?

Clyde: Hey, Ciara’s entitled to her opinion. If she doesn’t want me here, we should at least discuss it

Ciara: Look, I’m sorry, it’s nothing personal here. It’s just even if you do plan on becoming this model citizen, I’m sure you have a lot of enemies that still have it in for you. And if you’re living here, they will come looking for you here, and I’m having a baby in a couple of months.

Clyde: Oh, I’d take a bullet for that baby you’re carrying.

Ciara: I don’t want bullets in this house; I don’t want any bullets anywhere.

Ben: That’s not gonna happen.

Clyde: Wait.

Ciara: How do you know it’s not gonna happen?

Clyde: Listen. I’ve been in the slammer so long that most of my enemies are dead or locked up for life. Parole board has decided that I’ve paid my debt to society, and since I really want to be around while my grandchild is growing up, I know I have to walk the straight and narrow.

Ciara: The straight and narrow. Does that seem a little boring to you?

Clyde: It looks really appealing to me right now. And I know from Ben that a leopard can change his spots.

Ciara: No, no, no, you made Ben that way. He wasn’t born that way.

Clyde: Yeah, but you made him the man he is today. So all I’m asking for is a chance to prove myself to you. The same chance that you gave him.


Chad: I was pretty surprised to run into you last night. You and your new boyfriend. So I don’t know, I just thought that maybe, you know, we could catch up.

Leo: Why? We aren’t exactly besties.

Chad: Maybe, but we had quite the adventure a few months ago.

Leo: Yeah. We’ll always have Phoenix. Abigail says you talk about that trip all the time.

Chad: She exaggerates.

Leo: She also says she caught you in drag. And that you want to get me into bed.

Chad: She’s paranoid. I’m devoted to her.

Leo: Are you? See, I have a little confession to make. Before you spotted me in the square last night, I heard the two of you arguing. And I heard Abigail say that you haven’t touched her in months.

Chad: Oh, god.

Leo: Is Abigail right? Are you having naughty thoughts about little ol’ me?


EJ: Clyde doesn’t trust me? I’m shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

Orpheus: Clyde’s not the trusting type. He’s been so frequently disappointed by his fellow man.

EJ: And what are you, his enforcer?

Orpheus: He and I have a cautious alliance. He tries my patience, but he can be very useful now that he’s on the outside. Let’s just say that I have a vested interest in Clyde remaining at large.

EJ: Well, I have no plans to do anything to jeopardize his freedom. When you report back to him, feel free to tell him I said that.

Orpheus: I will. And I’ll also be keeping a close watch on you.

EJ: Oh, I’m flattered.

Orpheus: A smart mouth can get you into trouble in a place like this.

EJ: I’ll take my chances.

Orpheus: I keep a low profile around here, but I have eyes and ears all over the place. Very little happens that I don’t know about. Keep that in mind if you decide to use what you know about Clyde. I would hate for life inside to become unpleasant for you.

EJ: Why, Milo, if I didn’t know better, I’d say you were threatening me.


Ciara: Look, I am all for you getting a chance to prove yourself and redeem yourself genuinely. I am, I just do not understand why you have to do it when you’re living in this house.

Clyde: I’d rather be on my own, too, but the parole board wouldn’t go for it. They said I had to be with family, and Ben’s the only family I got left.

Ben: If we kick him out, they can revoke his parole. They’ll send him right back to prison, Ciara. Do you think maybe we can try giving this a shot?


Chloe: I’m the one who’s scheming?

Craig: Mm-hmm. Like pretending to give Leo a chance when you had no intention of doing so. You know, Chloe, you have been trying to sabotage this relationship from the moment it started. You think I’m some kind of chump or something.

Chloe: It’s not that.

Craig: It’s gonna stop! Right now! Leo is not after my money. He and I love each other.


Chad: Okay, I’ll be honest.

[Tense music]

Chad: Since Phoenix, I haven’t been able to get you out of my head.

Leo: All this time, I’ve been living there rent-free, and I didn’t even know it?

Chad: All the attention that you gave me. The way you looked at me. Like you wanted me. It was…

Leo: Intoxicating?

Chad: Yeah, that.

Leo: So I was an ego boost? Something for you to throw in the wife’s face if she were to turn you down?

Chad: No, no, no, no. It was way more than that. It’s just that when… when someone is so into you and wants you so much… it almost makes you…

Leo: Almost makes you what? Please start finishing your sentences, Chad.

Chad: It almost makes you want them back.


Rafe: I can’t believe it. Here we are, together, and in one piece.

Nicole: I wish I could say the same thing about poor Duke.

Rafe: Duke, poor Dukie. You know, things really changed between us the night you won that bear for me.

Nicole: Not that either one of us admitted it.

Rafe: Ah, well, I hated it. I hated lying to Ava, keeping you at arm’s length. Oh, Duke didn’t let me forget any of it.

Nicole: He talked to you?

Rafe: No, no No, I would look at him and my conscience would talk to me because I wasn’t facing my feelings for you.

Nicole: Well, yeah, I think we’re both guilty of that.

Rafe: Yeah, I know. But you were married.

Nicole: Yeah, but even after that blew up, I didn’t tell you how I really felt, and there were so many days that I wanted to.

Rafe: I know. I knew, you know how?

Nicole: Hm?

Rafe: Because I felt the same way.

Nicole: Come here.


Ben: I know I’m asking a lot of you right now, and you’ve already given me so much already, but do you think maybe we could give this a try?

Clyde: Hey. It won’t be permanent. As soon as my parole officer gives the green light, I’ll find some other place to crash. And I’ll pull my weight here. I’ll help Ben with the nursery. Hell, I’ll even cook for you.

Ben: You cook now?

Clyde: Oh yeah! Make a mean squirrel stew.

Ben: What?

Clyde: I’m kidding, but you gotta try my omelet.

Ben: Look, I’m gonna say one thing, and that’s the end of it. Ciara, when I was looking for you, my dad literally shivved Orpheus to get his phone away from him just so I was able to reach you.

Ciara: I know.

Clyde: You might’ve left out the part about the shiv.

Ben: All I’m trying to say is if this guy didn’t stick his neck out for us, you and I might not be together right now.

Ciara: I might not even be alive.

Ben: I would really like to return the favor and let my dad stay here. Just for a little while.

Ciara: Oh, fine, fine, fine. Fine, you can stay. He can stay but only for a little while, okay?


Leo: Are you saying that you want me?

Chad: I don’t know, maybe. No–yes. I think, yes.

Leo: But you were so freaked out when I tricked you into thinking that we had slept together.

Chad: I think that I just–it never crossed my mind how much I might really be attracted to men.

Leo: Wow. Okay, this is quite the sexual revelation. It’s right up there with that time I saw Chris Evans kissing that dude.

Chad: Chris Evans is gay?

Leo: Sadly, no, it was his brother, but in my head, it’s still Chris.

Chad: Right, right. I understand.

Leo: Okay, getting back to you and me, Chadwick, if you had spilled all this tea in Phoenix, I would’ve been all over it and you, but I’m in a committed relationship now.

Chad: So does that mean you’re not interested?


Ben: I’m sorry you gotta sleep out here, dad.

Clyde: No, this is fine.

Ben: It’s just that the nursery’s partially set up for the baby, there’s no bed in the office, so…

Clyde: I’m telling you, man, it’s fine. Compared to Statesville, this is like the Ritz. And I really appreciate you letting me stay here. The way you went to bat for me, that means a lot. Thank you, Ollie.

Ben: You’re welcome. Hey, please don’t screw this up.

Clyde: I hear you, I won’t.

Ben: I mean it, Dad. Right now, that baby is the number one priority. If you get into anything illegal, no matter what it is, you’re out of here. Even if that means you get sent back to Statesville. You understand?

Clyde: Absolutely.


Orpheus: I’m offering you a friendly warning, EJ. And I suggest you take it seriously.

EJ: You needn’t be so cryptic. My father was Stefano DiMera. What you’re saying is that if I open my mouth, you’ll have me killed, and your people will make it look like an accident. But you don’t have to worry. As Clyde pointed out, it’s better for me that he’s out there while I’m in here. Less chance of him… [Whistles] Slitting my throat while I sleep.

Orpheus: Although, the equation changes if you’re released. And I know your lawyer’s preparing an appeal.

EJ: And I know it’s in everyone’s best interest if we let bygones be bygones. Clyde has nothing to fear from me.

Orpheus: I hope not. For your sake.


Chloe: Well, Dad, I’m sorry that I have upset you.

Craig: Well, it takes two to tango.

Chloe: What does that mean?

Craig: You think I don’t see how my coming out has hurt you and your mother? Honey, it’s not lost on me that I’ve turned our family completely upside down. I know it’s… I know it’s a lot to ask for you to see me with someone else, but Chloe, I need you right now. I need your support more than ever. And if you’re not gonna give it to me, then the one thing that I ask is that you stop interfering and let me live my life.

Chloe: Wow, those are your terms? I’m your daughter.

[Phone rings]

Craig: Dr. Wesley. Yes, yes, I– I’ll come right now, yes. That was Seth Burn. He wants to see me.

[Tense music]


[Phone line trilling]

Chloe: Hi, it’s me

Brady: Hey, how’s it going with your dad?

Chloe: Well, he just went to go talk to the chairman of the board here at the hospital.

Brady: Seth Burns, why?

Chloe: Because he’s hired my dad as the new chief of staff.

Brady: Chief of staff? What about Kayla?

Chloe: Kayla got fired.

Brady: What?

Chloe: Yeah, we can talk about that later. That’s not why I called. I don’t know, I just–I think maybe this whole plan of Sonny’s might be a bad idea. Maybe we should call it off.


Leo: Did I say I wasn’t interested? But if we were to give in to our forbidden lust, it would break Craig’s heart.

Chad: And Abigail’s.

Leo: Despite what Chloe and Brady think, I do love Craig.

Chad: Brady and Chloe don’t approve of you?

Leo: Are you kidding? Those two shady hoes? They’ve been trying to come between my honey and me from the jump.

Chad: Ugh.

Leo: If we were to hook up, Craig would think they were right that I was just using him. He would never forgive me.

Chad: [Sighs] Well, I don’t wanna screw things up for you. So maybe I’m just gonna go, and then I’ll just sleep off my buzz. Sorry, I’ll just…

Leo: Wait! He’d never forgive me if he found out.

Chad: I won’t tell if you won’t.


Ciara: I put out some towels for you in the bathroom.

Clyde: Well, thank you, sweetheart.

Ciara: You’re welcome.

Clyde: I’ll go wash up.

Ben: All right then. Hey, I know how much you still hate this.

Ciara: I don’t hate it, I just think it’s a really, really bad idea.

Ben: I know, I know you do, but you know what, as soon as you have a weird feeling, or you don’t want him here, you tell me, and he’s gone. Promise you.

Ciara: Oh, gosh, I really hope for your sake that he’s changed his ways. Because I know how important it is to you have a relationship with him, especially with our little baby on the way.

Ben: And you are absolutely right. And I couldn’t love you more for understanding. You are the best wife a man could ever ask for.

Ciara: I know.

Ben: Oh, you know?

Ciara: I know.


Leo: You really wanna do this?

Chad: You don’t know how much.

Leo: Well, Craig did say he’s gonna be at the hospital for a while.

Chad: I don’t wanna pressure you.

Leo: Oh, what the hell. I can’t resist those baby blues. I’m gonna go slip into something more comfortable. Feel free to do the same.

Chad: Sure, okay.

[Tense music]

Chad: Hey, it’s me. It’s a go. Please tell me that Craig is on his way.


Brady: Look, Chloe, I know you don’t like going behind your dad’s back, but when you’re dealing with a guy like Leo…

Chloe: Yeah, but we’re going by what happened to Sonny, but what if Leo’s actually changed? What if he actually is in love with my dad?

Brady: If he loves your dad, he’s gonna turn down Chad. If he doesn’t, your dad’s gonna walk right into it.

Chloe: My dad is so upset with me already. If he finds out that I helped set this up…

Abigail: Brady?

Brady: Yeah, hold on, Abigail wants to tell me something.

Abigail: I just heard from Chad, and Leo went for it, so Chloe’s got to get her dad there now.

Brady: Chad just told Abigail that Leo took the bait.

Chloe: Oh, okay. So he has not changed his way. He’s still slime.

Brady: We gotta get Chad out of there, so find your dad and get him home now.


Chloe: On it Hey, Dad, so I have been thinking about what you said, and you’re right. I’m gonna do my best to accept Leo in your life.

Craig: Thank you. That means the world to me.

Chloe: Well, it’s getting late. Should we walk out together?

Craig: Oh, honey, I got a ton of work to do. I really–

Chloe: Oh, come on, you’ve got it. Why don’t you just go home and celebrate with Leo?


Chad: Okay, you can do this. You just have to fake it until Craig gets here Craig, you better get here soon.

[Tense music]

 

Leo: Wait a minute.

Chad: I thought you wanted me to get into bed.

Leo: Oh, I do. But I gotta see that ass first. Even better than I imagined it. Now… let’s get this party started.


Nicole: Well, that was so very nice.

Rafe: Yes. And slightly more comfortable than a conference table.

Nicole: Maybe we should try a bed sometime.

Rafe: There is one down the hall.

Nicole: Can I say something first?

Rafe: Sure.

Nicole: I really love you.

Rafe: I really love you, too.

[Soft music]


 

EJ: Now that we understand each other, I think I’ll call it a night.

Orpheus: I’ll be in touch.

EJ: I’m looking forward to it Oh, next time, bring your flute. Love to Eurydice.

[Tense music]


 

Ben: You got everything you need, Dad?

Clyde: Oh yeah, this is great.

Ciara: There’s coffee made in the morning if you wake up early enough.

Clyde: Thank you.

Ciara: You’re welcome.

Ben: Well, good night, Dad.

Clyde: Good night, son.

Ben: See you.

Ciara: Good night, Clyde.

Clyde: Good night.

[Cell phone rings]

Clyde: Hello, yeah, I’ll accept. Hey, make it fast. Ben and his wife just went to bed.

Orpheus: How’s life on the outside?

Clyde: Better than life on the inside.

Orpheus: No doubt. I’m calling you because I just had a conversation with EJ DiMera. He said all the right things, but he’s got an attitude. I’m not sure we can trust him to keep his mouth shut. Before push comes to shove, we may have to eliminate him.

Clyde: Do what you have to do.

Orpheus: May I assume I have your blessing?

Clyde: You may.


Chloe: Hi, you two.

Abigail: Please tell me your dad is on the way to the Inn.

Chloe: Yeah, he should be there any minute, just in time to have his heart broken.

Brady: Don’t feel guilty. This was bound to happen. Leo did this to himself.


Leo: I cannot believe this is happening.

Chad: Neither can I.

Leo: Don’t worry, I’ll be real gentle. My lovemaking philosophy is based on the Ike and Tina turner version of “proud Mary.” We’re gonna go real nice and slow in the beginning. And then finish, well, not so nice.

Chad: You know, Tina Turner, what a wonderful artist. What other songs of hers do you like? Do you like–

Leo: Shut up and kiss me.

Craig: Leo.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Soft stirring ]

Finn: Morning, beautiful.

Steffy: What time is it? How long have you been awake?

Finn: Long enough to get the kids dressed, fed and off with amelia.

Steffy: I slept through all of that?

Finn: Mm-hmm. We were quiet. Because you… my sexy wife deserved to sleep in after that very late night we had.

Steffy: Mm-hmm. And you were just able to get out of bed?

Finn: Yeah.

[ Steffy chuckles ]

Finn: I knew if I did, I could spend the rest of the morning alone with you. But… if you need to check on your brother first…

Steffy: No.

Finn: He’s still on your mind.

Steffy: It just doesn’t make sense. Why would thomas sneak off with sheila in an alley?

Finn: You can ask him in the office when you see him later… much, much later.

[ Thomas sighs ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Thomas: What!

Sheila: You don’t have to be so rude.

Thomas: Yeah, look, you’re worried that I’m going to tell people that, uh, you sabotaged brooke on new year’s eve but you– you gotta lay off.

Sheila: Yeah. Well, what worries me is when you use words like sabotage.

Thomas: What else would you call it, sheila? You were the reason that brooke got drunk that night, right?

Sheila: No one can know that, thomas. Especially your father. If he could blame her behavior on me, it would send him straight back to brooke. We both know you don’t want that.

Ridge: Numbers are good. I just think we can do better–

Thomas: I have to go. I can’t deal with this right now.

Ridge: Everything okay?

Brooke: What a beautiful dream. If only it were true.

[ Knocking ]

Eric: Brooke?

Brooke: Oh, eric!

Eric: I, uh, I came as soon as I could.

Brooke: Oh, you didn’t have to rush.

Eric: No?

Brooke: No.

Eric: Sounded like you were upset.

Brooke: Yeah, I just needed some company, you know?

Eric: Yeah.

Brooke: It’s good to have you here. I mean, I have hope here, and she’s been wonderful. She’s very understanding but I can’t keep laying this on her. I can’t keep making her feel guilty for all of my bad decisions–

Eric: Okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay, it’s all right. I’m here now. What’s this about?

Brooke: I let him go. Yeah, I did. I– I set him free, and I don’t know why I did that, eric. I don’t want that. I know I made a mistake so of course I tried to fix it, right? I– I practically begged for him to come back. Oh, god. I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’T. I just can’t lose him. I can’T.

Ridge: You havin’ a problem with someone?

Thomas: No.

Carter: Is there something going on?

Ridge: Yeah. Somethin’ you wanna talk about?

Sheila: Don’t tell ridge.

Just don’t do it.

Steffy: As much as i want to spend the morning in bed with you…

Finn: You…?

Steffy: Can’T. Too worried about thomas. What the hell is he doing with sheila? I mean, maybe, maybe you’re right, he’s trying to protect our family, but I don’t know. I have a bad feeling. I need to know what’s going on. You know liberty mutual customizes your car insurance,

Brooke: This is why stephanie worked so hard to keep me away from ridge.

Eric: Yeah, well, she became your friend.

Brooke: Oh, eric, if she was still here, she would be really disappointed in me, just like ridge is. And I’m sure just like you are, too.

Eric: I’m not. Brooke, I’m not. Now, stop it. You’re making this very difficult for yourself. You’re taking all this, this pain and you’re making it worse with all this guilt!

Brooke: I know, I know, I– I have to stop replaying the past.

Eric: Brooke, I know that… I know that ridge is just– just as confused by all this as you are.

Brooke: You spoke with him?

Eric: He still loves you, brooke.

Brooke: I know that. It’s just. He’s not here.

Eric: You and my son share something very unique in all the world. It’s powerful, it’s strong. And it’s being tested right now. But it’s not broken. It never will be.

Ridge: You know, you can talk to me, right?

Thomas: If there was something that you could help with, I’d bring you in, but there’s really not.

Ridge: Right, well, I’m confident you will do what’s best.

Thomas: I just gotta figure out what… what that is.

Carter: That’s not a bad idea, right? Taking your time, working out the details.

Thomas: I’m just trying to see the big picture. You know, how all this may impact things in the long run.

Ridge: Yeah, I know you don’t want advice from your old man. But you know what? We don’t always do what’s right. But if you think that somebody can benefit from what you’re doing then it’s worth the risk.

Finn: Hey, when you talk to your brother, don’t forget what I said.

Steffy: Yeah, you and mom are already keeping an eye out on sheila. Thomas doesn’t need to do it, too.

Finn: He’s your big brother. All right? Being protective, it’s just in his blood.

Steffy: But why keep secrets?

Finn: Maybe he’s trying to keep the peace. Sheila’s my birth mother. A hard line with her, it might upset me. He just he doesn’t want you to get caught in the middle.

Steffy: I wish I knew what they were talking about in the alley. But I couldn’t hear them. All I could see was this intense body language.

Finn: Oh, what’s my body language telling you?

Steffy: Oh. Your feelings about me have not been a mystery, dr. Finnegan.

Finn: Haven’t been since I walked into your hospital room.

Steffy: Mm-hmm. And now look at us, happily married, proud parents.

Finn: We have a great life together. And we have so much to look forward to. I told you when I proposed, “I’m here for the long haul.”

Steffy: Because I’m the perfect woman for you.

Finn: You remember.

Steffy: How could I ever forget?

Finn: Steffy forrester,

will you marry me?

Will you be my wife?

Steffy: Yes!

Yes, I’ll be your wife!

Yes!

And I think most every

moment with you’s a reverie

every moment with you

is a reverie

every moment with you

is a reverie

Finn: And I’m even happier today with you, hayes, and our family. Steffy, I am so blessed to be with a woman like you. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Steffy: You’re doing a very good job distracting me.

Finn: Well, I hope to always keep a smile on your face.

Steffy: Well, my smile keeps getting bigger and bigger. You say you’re blessed to be with me but I’m the one who feels lucky. I think about everything we’ve experienced together. Everything that lies ahead. It can only get better.

Finn: Yeah, you just wait.

Steffy: But it is tough to top our proposal and the wedding and the day hayes was born.

Finn: That moment changed me. The first time I held the two of you in my arms, I knew that there was nothing I wouldn’t do to protect you. You, hayes and kelly are just so precious to me beyond anything I’ve ever known. And I would sacrifice anything to make you happy and keep you safe.

Steffy: We are safe, and we’re so connected to you. We’re so grateful for you and… and our family. And that’s exactly what I’m gonna say to thomas when I ask him about his meeting with sheila. I’m gonna tell him there’s no reason to hide the truth from me.

Eric: You’re overwhelmed, I know. But I worry. I mean, are you… do you have any urges to drink again?

Brooke: No, no.

Eric: That’s good.

Brooke: Yeah, yeah it is. But that’s what makes that night even more confusing. I mean, look at me. I can barely hold myself together, right? But I don’t want a drink.

Eric: You want to prove yourself, don’t you? You want to show ridge how committed you are.

Brooke: Yeah. Of course I do. But– but I– I don’t have the urge. I don’t have that temptation. Not like I did that night, so it doesn’t make any sense.

Eric: You’re going to meetings, right? You’re getting a lot of support there.

Brooke: Right, I am. And I can understand how people could relapse. I get that. That’s why I know I need to be strong and I need to be vigilant and I need to work at it. But it’s really not a struggle. Not like it was that night when I had that intense urge to drink and why?

Thomas: So you don’t need to go to that meeting with carter?

Ridge: No, he’ll fill me in later. You okay?

Thomas: Yeah. But it’s nice to know you’re looking out for me.

Ridge: You can count on your mom and on me.

Thomas: Well, you can count on me, too.

Ridge: We’re proud of you. And if we seem concerned it’s because we want you to be happy.

Thomas: That’s what I want for, for both of you.

Ridge: Yeah. You and steffy made that very clear, you’re very supportive.

Thomas: Well, you know what? You– you, mom, steffy, everyone helped out when– when I was going through tough times. You didn’t have to do that but you decided to help. And… I want to make sure that I’m there for you in the same way. I want to make sure that you end up happy.

[ Knocking ]

[ Persistent knocking ]

Sheila: Steffy? Wow, what a pleasant surprise.

Steffy: I know, sheila. I know what you’re up to. Ready to shine from the inside out?

Brooke: I’m not shifting blame, I’m not. I did it. I take full responsibility, it’s my fault. I mean, I explained all that to ridge. I just– I don’t think he wants to hear it anymore.

Eric: No, no, no, no, he’s not, he’s not shutting you out, brooke. The connection, the connection’s still there.

Brooke: I need him to come back to me. And if he doesn’T…

Eric: Just don’t think like that. Look, I know. It– it feels like a lost cause but it’s not. I mean, he’s– he’S… look, he’s staying there with steffy, I know. And you know how committed he is to that family and– and how much taylor means to him. But you’re his soul mate.

Brooke: I just don’t know how to get through to him.

Eric: He still loves you. He’ll come back.

Brooke: Are you sure? Even after everything that I put him through?

Eric: You’ve lost each other before. You’ll find your way back together again.

Brooke: He is the love of my life. He is.

Eric: Come here.

Brooke: Oh.

Eric: Come here.

Ridge: You want to make sure I end up happy? What does that mean?

Thomas: You were there for me. You helped me through some tough times. I’ll make sure I’m there for you and mom and that you end up together. I want you to be happy and fulfilled. I’m saying you can count on me.

Sheila: How did you find me?

Steffy: It’s not fun, is it? Having someone show up at your door uninvited?

Sheila: It– it’s just a surprise.

Steffy: Yes, it is. So why don’t you clear things up for me?

Sheila: I’m not sure I know what you mean.

Steffy: Well, you told my mother that you changed. You’re not some conniving monster that you used to be.

Sheila: Because I’m not.

Steffy: Then prove it. Tell me that you’re still trying to make inroads with finn. That you’re still trying to win my mother over, infiltrate my family, that’s been your plan all along, right? My mother convinced me to have you over. Is that what you’re trying to do? Do you want one more time at my house?

Sheila: Your mother is a very kind, generous woman.

Steffy: I’m not as forgiving.

Sheila: Look, steffy, we– we– we both want the same things. I– I love finn. I want to see him happy. And I adore my grandson, hayes. I want what’s best for all of you.

Steffy: And what’s that? To get to know you better?

Sheila: For your father and mother to be reunited. Brooke has kept them apart for far too long. Your mother has been watching the love of her life being betrayed and taken advantage of. Taylor has a– a real chance with him now. I want that for her. I’m not the enemy here, steffy. You have no idea what I would do to bring your family together. I know you don’t want to hear it, but it is– it’s true. I already feel like I’m part of that. Finn is my son and hayes is my flesh and blood.

Steffy: You are not part of our lives. You never will be. You’re not our family. You’re not my mother’s friend. So you don’t get to have an opinion about her or my father. What you can do is leave. Stay away from my family. And that means everyone in my family, including thomas. That’s right. I saw the two of you in the alley behind il giardino. I was there. So you need to tell me right now what you two were doing. I want to know what’s going on between you and my brother.

Transcript provided by Suzanne
Proofread by Anita

Alexis: Ohh! [ Sniffs ]

Molly: Hey! I thought I heard you come in!

Alexis: Something smells incredible! You…cooked!

Molly: [ Laughs ]

TJ: Well, we cooked. As a thank-you for being so amazing and letting us stay here so long.

Alexis: Well, I didn’t cook, but I stopped at Eckert’s, so they cooked.

TJ: Ahh.

Molly: Mmm!

Alexis: Have some dessert for you. I’m gonna miss you guys.

Molly: Oh, well, it is a good thing you have such a compelling and demanding job to throw yourself into. That way, you’ll be too busy to miss us.


Phyllis: Lorraine! Sorry. Harmony.

Harmony: Hey. Thanks for coming. Lorraine’s in the past for a reason, so hope you didn’t call to reminisce. Working in New York was a long time ago. Things are a little fuzzy.

Phyllis: This is about something in the here and now.

Harmony: Okay. What’s on your mind?

Phyllis: We need to talk about you and Nina.


Nina: Where’s my aunt?

Scott: Uh, she’s running a little behind.

Nina: [ Sighs ] Alright. I’ll be at a table.

Scott: Wait, wait. Whoa, whoa. Hang on. Hang on. Come on, now. Come. Come on. Sit down. I kept you out of prison. Can you at least sit with me while we wait for Liesl?

Nina: Fine.

Scott: Okay. Ahh. There we go. Bygones be bygones, huh?


Marshall: Why were you talking with Sonny Corinthos?

Curtis: We were talking about a run-in you two had. Care to explain?

Marshall: What exactly did he say?

Curtis: He said that you’d been hostile. And I know it’s not the first time. Why is that?

Marshall: [ Chuckles ] Told you before. I don’t trust Sonny’s type.

Curtis: Yeah, well, I have noticed that every time Sonny’s name is mentioned, you have a strong reaction. It almost feels personal.

Marshall: Well, I have a personal aversion to mob kingpins.

Curtis: Marshall, look. I know you can duck and dodge with the best of them. Hell, you’ve been doing that since you’ve arrived in Port Charles. But if bringing you into my life means bringing trouble to the doorstep of the house that Portia and I share… man, I need to know.


Esme: I have nowhere to go. Is there any way I could stay with you?

Portia: I bet you anything that that girl is the one behind the video of Joss and Cam. Ugh. I’m just so relieved that Trina is finally out of Esme’s orbit.

Taggert: Yeah, she’s a piece of work, that one. Takes every little bit of me not to give old Esme and lover-boy Spencer a piece of my mind.

Portia: If I have to bite my tongue, so can you.

Taggert: [ Sighs ]

Portia: [ Chuckles ] Besides, Trina would be mortified.

Taggert: Yeah, well, that’s the only thing stopping me.

Portia: Have I told you recently what a good father you are?

Taggert: Having a great daughter like Trina makes it easy. I got lucky.


[ Indistinct conversations ]

Dante: Josslyn. Hey.

Josslyn: Hey.

Dante: What are you doing here? Are you looking for Detective Lopez?

Josslyn: No, no. Actually, I’m just waiting for Trina. Commissioner Ashford says she has a couple questions for her. Shouldn’t take long.

Dante: Right. Uh… you might want to head home because it might take longer than you think.


Jordan: Have a seat. This is just an informal chat, but it might disrupt your plans for the evening. Is there anyone you need to call?

Trina: I’m missing a lecture. But I can get the notes from my study partner. This is more important.

Jordan: I see. Well, as you’ve already figured out, I’ve called you in because we’re investigating what happened to Josslyn and Cameron. Are you comfortable answering a few questions?

Trina: Ask me anything. I want to help you find the person that set my friends up. And I hope you make them pay for it.


Nikolas: You want to stay at Wyndemere?

Esme: I know it’s an imposition, but it wouldn’t be forever. Just until I can get on my feet.

Nikolas: You have to understand — you and Spencer have broken up. Having you come and stay in his family home, it would put me in an awkward position, Esme, especially given the fragile state of Spencer and my relationship.

Esme: I understand.

Nikolas: I’m so glad.

Esme: You’ve turned your back on me, too.


Josslyn: Really don’t mind waiting for Trina to be done. I mean, she’s had a lot to deal with since that night at the cabin.

Dante: Well, I think you’ve had the most to deal with since that night at the cabin. Trina’s your friend. She wants to help you.

Josslyn: Trina’s my best friend. And the person that you should be talking to is Spencer’s psycho girlfriend, Esme Prince. Have you brought her in yet?


Esme: You believe the horrible things people are saying about me.

Nikolas: Esme, I’m no stranger to unfair accusations. I don’t believe everything I hear.

Esme: Too bad Spence doesn’t share your discernment. He’s taking Trina’s word over mine.

Nikolas: It is hard to believe that Trina would betray Joss and Cam in that way.

Esme: Trina’s got everybody fooled. Believe me, she is no saint.

Nikolas: I don’t believe in labeling people saints or sinners. Everyone is capable of both. But I do trust my wife’s instincts, and Ava thinks very highly of Trina.

Esme: Right. Much more highly than she thinks of me.


Jordan: Trina, you don’t recall seeing anyone enter Josslyn and Cameron’s room at the cabin besides them?

Trina: No. But there was plenty of chances for her to do it.

Jordan: Her?

Trina: Esme Prince. She’s behind this.

Jordan: Both Josslyn and Cameron’s statements indicate that Spencer and Esme left earlier that evening. Did you see or hear anything that would lead you to believe it was Esme who set up the camera?

Trina: [ Exhales sharply ] Nothing concrete, but who else would have done it? There were big blocks of time when we were all in the cabin and Esme was unaccounted for. She had means, motive, and opportunity.

Jordan: Where were you when Spencer and Esme left?

Trina: I was in my room. Uh, I didn’t actually see them leave.

Jordan: How long were you in your room?

Trina: A few hours. I was feeling a bit…off.

Jordan: I know about the drinking game, and although I do not condone underage drinking, that’s not what I’m interested in right now.

Trina: [ Sighs ] Clearly, I’m a lightweight when it comes to drinking. I had one hot toddy, and it, like, put me out.

Jordan: You blacked out.

Trina: Yeah. Pretty much.

Jordan: Let me remind you, even though this is just an informal conversation, you can call a parent or legal advocate.

Trina: Thanks. But I don’t want to bother them. Besides, I have nothing to hide.


Marshall: I doubt any of this will come knocking at your — your new home, but your club, man, that’s a different story.

Curtis: What about The Savoy?

Marshall: Curtis, I’ve worked enough clubs as a musician to see how these mob types, they — they get their hooks into club owners, and then — then their clubs become their personal playground.

Curtis: There have been offers, and I have refused them.

Marshall: See? See? And those offers, they can quickly become demands.

Curtis: That’s not the case with Sonny.

Marshall: Where do you get the notion that Sonny corinthos is some sort of benevolent don? TJ wants to believe this, too.

Curtis: Years ago, TJ witnessed a shooting. Jordan and I were limited as to what we could do, and… Sonny was there to protect him.

Marshall: Whew. I never knew that.

Curtis: I wouldn’t call the man benevolent, but he is most certainly conscientious. He was there for TJ when it mattered most.

Marshall: Well, my issue with Sonny isn’t personal. I just don’t want the man to suddenly decide to call in his debts.

Curtis: You sure that’s all it is?


Phyllis: I couldn’t violate Nina’s privacy back in the day. But now I can tell you that Nina was my patient and in a coma. Nina gave birth, and her mother tricked me into giving her child away.

Harmony: That’s so tragic. Um, why are you telling me this?

Phyllis: To make you understand. Nina’s had so much loss in her life, yet she still has the capacity to love. That love extends to the grandson you two share. So talk to your daughter. Convince Willow and Michael that Nina is no threat to Wiley. You have a winning way about you. I remember how well you got along with Nina’s mother, Madeline.


Nina: Scotty, you and Aunt Liesl conspired without me knowing, and you put Willow on the stand.

Scott: Yeah, yeah, I know. To save you from jail! Now, I’m not going to apologize for that.

Nina: Well, I’m not going to apologize for resenting you for ignoring my wishes.

Scott: Yeah, but — [ Sighs ] See, the reason why I did that was ’cause I knew you wouldn’t approve of my strategy. And I can see why you feel like you were blindsided in — in court.

Nina: Well, that almost sounded like an apology.

Scott: Well, that’s about the best you’re gonna get from me because I’m not sorry for keeping you out of jail. So come on. Let’s — let’s put this behind us. You’re Liesl’s niece, and I’m her boyfriend.

Nina: What is taking her so long?!

Scott: Rush hour.

Nina: [ Groans ] Okay. I suppose I only have two options here. “A,” I could reschedule.

Scott: Yeah? Two?

Nina: Or, “B,” order a cocktail and… enjoy the company.

Scott: Trish. Two martinis. On me.


Alexis: Well, you don’t have to worry about me being alone because Harmony is gonna stay here for a little bit. Quelle surprise. It appears you have an opinion about that.

Molly: Well, inviting Harmony to live here is a big deal.

Alexis: Honey, she’s having a hard time. She’s just gonna stay here until she can afford a place of her own.

Molly: Where’s she been staying? Her car? What happened?

Alexis: None of your business. Again with the eyes. Alright. Listen. Why don’t you just use your words, get it all out, get it off your chest so I don’t have to stand here and be questioned like a little girl?


Jordan: The reason I called you in here is because we received a call on the tip line implicating you in what happened to Josslyn and Cameron. The caller claims to have seen you watching the video on your phone weeks ago, well before the video was released online.

Trina: [ Scoffs ] No, that’s — that’s impossible. I never had that video on my phone except when someone sent it to me. And even then, I deleted it right away. Wait. I-I can prove it. Check my phone.

Jordan: Trina, you are not required to hand over your phone.

Trina: It’s fine. I’m volunteering. I want you to know that this “tipster,” who I’m going to bet is Esme, is lying. I’m sorry. There’s like a thousand things in my bag.

Jordan: Can you describe your phone?

Trina: Black smartphone with a purple case.

Jordan: And you only have one?

Trina: Why would I need two? Here it is.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Jordan: I thought you only had one phone.

Trina: I do. It’s my study partner. Wondering why I missed lecture. This is my phone.

Jordan: Then who does this belong to?

Trina: I have no clue. Please. Believe me. I-I have no idea how that one got in my bag.


Scott: How’s the Colonel? You know, the Kentucky Fried brother of Cyrus?

Nina: Oh, that’s just great. Ava’s been talking. Did she also tell you that I’m considering suing for visitation of Wiley?

Scott: You mean petitioning for visitation because you still got to go to court, and it’s — it’s kind of a tough sell.

Nina: No, that’s not how Martin described it.

Scott: Yeah, well, he might have oversold it to you. You know, uh, billable hours.

Nina: Are you saying that a New York State law won’t guarantee that I have access to my own grandson?

Scott: You have a standing for a petition.

Nina: That’s just great. Martin’s not in Port Charles right now. He’s checking on his mother. So we’ve put a pin in my legal action.

Scott: Well, now… I’m available. Oh! Family rate.

Nina: I really don’t think it’d be a good idea for you to represent me again. Plus, I have a plan in the works, and it does not involve the inside of a courtroom.

Scott: Now, why is that? Why don’t you want to go down the legal road? Is it the same reason why you didn’t want me to put Willow on the stand?


Phyllis: Your friendship with Madeline reeves was such a surprise. Whew. She was an ice queen. So cold to anyone she considered to be “the help.”

Harmony: Are you sure you’re remembering correctly? Because I-I actually don’t remember a Madeline reeves.

Phyllis: Oh. Sure you do. The attractive blonde in the penthouse apartment? The two of you used to walk dogs together.

Harmony: Oh. Right. Yes. With the — with the toy poodle. Yeah. Um, I didn’t know she was Nina’s mother. Mm-hmm. I just knew her as Madeline. And we were not friends. We were — we were, like, cordial at best.

Phyllis: Hmm. That’s not how it looked to me. I remember you laughing and talking together. I was shocked that she could be that friendly to anyone.

Harmony: I see what’s going on here. Yeah. You didn’t — you didn’t call me of your own accord. Well, you can pass this message on to Nina. Point taken. It’s under consideration. Good day.


Curtis: Okay. Let’s put this to rest right now. Your issue with Sonny Corinthos, it has nothing to do with why you were hiding all those years?

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Curtis: Excuse me. I got to take this. Do what you gotta do, son.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Curtis: Well, I’m glad you decided to call me. I could definitely use your help.

Jordan: I haven’t changed my mind about Marshall’s sealed records. This is about something else entirely.

Curtis: What is it?

Jordan: Well, since we recently discussed ethics, I need your advice.

Curtis: My advice about what?

Jordan: Well, you know how a member of law enforcement should not contact the family of a suspect being questioned? What about contacting a family friend?

Curtis: Uh, well, that depends on the suspect in the situation.

Jordan: Suppose the P.O.I. Is the daughter of a longtime friend and former partner of said law-enforcement officer. Maybe there’s some ethical space to contact a family friend, someone who’s close to the mother of the suspect?

Curtis: You’re talking about Trina. Jordan, what’s going on?

Jordan: This is hypothetical. I’m just wondering if I should contact a family friend to let them know that a young lady is being questioned at the station right now and has refused legal counsel.

Curtis: Hypothetically, that friend of the family would be grateful. Thanks, Jordan. Uh, something’s come up with Trina. We’ll continue this conversation later?

Marshall: Of course. Everything alright?

[ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ]

Marshall: Take care of your family, son. ‘Cause I’m definitely gonna take care of mine.


Portia: This is really nice. I mean, we’ve always been wonderful co-parents, but I’m just glad that we’re still friends. And I really appreciate you wishing me and Curtis well. [ Chuckles ] Are you really good with us moving in together?

Taggert: And moving on? I mean, Portia — you, me, Trina, we’re family. Why wouldn’t I be okay with my family being happy?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Portia: Oh! Were your ears burning? Trina’s where?


Nikolas: Ava and I are grateful that you encouraged Spencer to reconcile with us.

Esme: But her gratitude stops short of letting me sleep under her roof. She’ll forgive Spence because he’s your son, but not me.

Nikolas: That’s unfair.

Esme: Ava doesn’t know what it’s like to be abandoned. I mean, not the way that Spence and I do. And you… Spence told me how you grew up — first in Greece, then out on Spoon Island, isolated, not even knowing your mother until you were 16.

Nikolas: Those were lonely days.

Esme: I thought my lonely days were over when I met Spence. I was an orphan. After my parents died, it was just me and my nanny. Then she took another position, and I was sent away to school. Spence understood because he felt that pain himself. He became my family. Now he has his family back, and I no longer have him. I have no one.

Nikolas: I’m sorry. This has been so hard on you, Esme. But I can’t appear to take sides.

Esme: Then I guess I’ll have to leave Port Charles. I’m out of places to stay or people that care about me. Everyone hates me here.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Nikolas: I’m sorry. Esme, sit tight. We’ll figure something out. Hi. I’m at the restaurant.

Esme: Wonder where they’re rushing off to. To Trina, the saint.


Alexis: I mean, any more issues you can tell me. Just, you know, do it now because she’s gonna be here any minute.

Molly: Harmony’s coming for dinner?

Alexis: Is that a problem?

TJ: Alexis, w-we don’t know Harmony well enough to have any issues with her, but Shawn was concerned and he wanted us to keep an eye out on her.

Alexis: Really?

Molly: Mom. Okay. Shawn cares about you. You know he does. But he doesn’t really trust Harmony, and he’s concerned that she still has some secrets.

Alexis: Who doesn’t? And whatever secrets Harmony may have does not concern you, you, or Shawn.

[ Door opens ]

[ Harmony clears throat ]

[ Door closes ]

Harmony: [ Chuckles ] Guess my keys work. Hi.


Nina: There are no messages. She hasn’t — she hasn’t responded to my texts!

Scott: I’m — I’m sure she’ll be along.

Nina: You don’t seem concerned or the least bit worried. Wait a second. Did Liesl set me up and she made me sit with you while I was waiting for her?

Scott: I can’t confirm that. Or deny it.

Nina: Oh, okay. That’s it. I am out of here. I cannot believe that you manipulated me again.

Scott: Wait a minute. I thought we were over this Willow thing.

Nina: Well, you thought wrong. We’re not.

Scott: Ohh. Come on. You know what? I-I’m gonna give it to you straight. The reason why you didn’t want me to put Willow on the stand is the same reason why you don’t want to drag Michael into court over Wiley. Because you have it bad for Sonny.

Nina: I really don’t think that that’s any of your business.

Scott: W-what is it about Sonny? Is — is it the slicked-back hair? What is his real appeal?

Nina: Scott, there’s more to Sonny than you know. He’s not — he’s not immune to pain and loss.

Scott: [ Sighs ] Yeah, he has a very chaotic life, so he’s had a lot of losses. But you’re not answering my question. Can you deny that you’re not in love with Sonny? I thought so. So I have a little piece of advice for you. I suggest you get off this ride, go through the gift shop, and never, ever look back!


Josslyn: Dante. What is going on? I mean, why is Trina in the interrogation room?

Dante: We have to talk to everyone who was at the cabin that night. Trina, Spencer, Esme. Everyone’s included in that.

Josslyn: Yeah, but the interview started in the commissioner’s office, so why are we moving to the interrogation room? I mean, I thought that this was just routine.

Jordan: Dante.

Dante: I gotta get back to work. Are you sure you want to hang here?

Josslyn: Yeah. I-I told Trina I’d wait. So I’m gonna wait.

Dante: Okay. Purple case, like the tipster described.

Jordan: Trina claims this isn’t her phone. She’s got another one.

Dante: So this is ours to examine?

Jordan: There’s no password protection.

Dante: That’s a little too convenient.

Jordan: Indeed.

Dante: I’ll get this down to forensics.

Jordan: Okay.

Taggert: Where’s my daughter?! Jordan! I thought we were friends.


Harmony: Um, I think I’ve caused enough problems for tonight. Thank you so much for a lovely dinner, but I’m gonna go and let you guys have your last night here together alone.

Molly: No. Absolutely not. Look. TJ and I will go. My mother’s upset with us.

Alexis: No. I’m not upset with you. I’m upset with Shawn, who overstepped and put you in an awkward position… which you fully embraced.

Harmony: I’m — I’m — I’m just gonna go.

Alexis: Stay right there.

Molly: Look, Shawn and my mother go way back, and he’s very protective of her, as are we.

TJ: Right. And, Alexis, I understand your outrage, and I wish Shawn did not ask us to play watchdog. Any concerns he had, he should have shared directly with you.

Alexis: Oh, he did. I just don’t get if he trusts me with his business why doesn’t he trust me with my own life?

Harmony: Well, I, for one, am happy that Shawn asked molly and TJ to spy on me.


Harmony: Alexis has been a good, supportive friend, so I get Shawn’s impulse. I mean, I wouldn’t want to let anyone hurt her, either. And you guys should know that Shawn put me on notice directly. So I’m not surprised that he asked Molly and TJ to look out for you. And you should be appreciative that you have friends who care and love you.

TJ: That is…a gracious way of looking at it, Harmony.

Harmony: Or it’s a ploy to get some pie. ‘Cause I’d really like some. It’s been a day.

[ Laughter ]

Molly: We’re on it.

Alexis: So, what else happened today besides my ex recruiting my daughter and her partner to spy on you?

Harmony: Try, um, Nina reeves enlisting a former colleague of mine to help her secure visitation with Wiley.


Nina: I know Sonny is no angel, okay? But neither is my Aunt Liesl. I mean, there are a lot of people who think that she is a menace, Scott. She’s done horrible things.

Scott: No, she’s not a menace anymore.

Nina: Okay. M-my point is… that… you’ve defied all the naysayers by finding happiness in the most unlikely partner, right? Why can’t I?


Nikolas: Sorry. That was my mother. She can’t make dinner. And since it appears the guest of honor isn’t bothering to show, I think the celebration is officially a bust.

Esme: I thought you and Spence were getting closer. I was so optimistic.

Nikolas: So was I. I don’t get it.

Esme: I mean, that’s Spence. It’s why I’ve had to stay on him about things, especially mending his relationship with you. I’m sorry I won’t be around to keep doing that.

Nikolas: I’ve noticed you put in that effort, and I’ve appreciated it, Esme. And I also appreciate how you’ve been there for Spencer when I wasn’t.

Esme: Well, I still believe that you two will, uh, work things out. Might take time. That’s all. In the meantime, I need to figure out my next step, starting with a place to stay.

Nikolas: I’ve been in your shoes. Unsure where to call home, surrounded by people without good intentions.

Esme: I’m strong. I’ll get through it.

Nikolas: You could. But you won’t have to. I can’t let you worry where you’re gonna lay your head at night.

Esme: Does this mean what I think it does?


Trina: You have to believe me. I-I don’t know where that second phone came from.

Portia: Baby, we know that it wasn’t yours.

Taggert: Why would you turn anything over without a warrant? Why would you talk to the cops without an attorney, baby?! If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a million times!

Portia: Marcus! That’s enough. What’s done is done. It —

Trina: I don’t think it was a big deal. Because I didn’t do anything wrong! I was with Jordan. Commissioner Ashford.

Taggert: Okay. Um, I understand. But remember, moving forward, there’s no such thing as casual talk with a cop. Anything you say can be used against you.

Trina:I just wanted to help Joss and Cam!

Portia: I understand that, and that’s very admirable of you, but now it’s time for you to help yourself.

Trina: What do I do?

Portia: You talk to no one, no one else, until our lawyer gets here. And your father and I are gonna get to the bottom of this.

Taggert: Yeah. Starting right now.

Portia: We’re gonna figure this out, and everything’s gonna be alright. Are you holding on okay?

Trina: [ Crying ] I just hate that I made you guys so upset. I’m so sorry for all of this.

Portia: Oh, sweetheart. We’re only upset because we know how unfair this is to you. You don’t need to be sorry. And I promise you this. Whoever did do this to you… they will be.


Scott: You cannot save Sonny.

Nina: Sonny doesn’t need to be saved, Scott. He just needs a partner who understands him. Someone who accepts him. Someone who will support him.

Scott: You don’t think Carly did that? They went through many storms together, but in the end… he ended up letting her down. So what makes you think he’s not gonna do that to you?

Nina: I don’t know. He might. But I want to try.

Scott: [ Sighs ] There it is.

Nina: Okay. I’m calling it a night.

Scott: Okay. Let me say this real quick, then. You can’t have Wiley and Sonny. You got to make a choice. Who do you want — kid or the gangster? Who’s more important to you?


Alexis: I really understand you not wanting to pressure Willow with everything that’s going on. And I really appreciate you overlooking all the stuff about the secrets and the kids and all of that.

Harmony: Oh…

Alexis: I hope you know that whatever you say to me is held in confidence.

Harmony: I do feel safe with you. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go see if I can get some of that pie.

Alexis: Ohh!

Harmony: Oh, my goodness. Shoot. I’m so sorry.

Alexis: Alright. It’s alright.

Molly: It’s pie time whew. Okay. I’ll get it.

TJ: -Whoa.

Harmony: -I’m s–

Molly: What’s going on?

Harmony: -Got a spill. Sorry. -Oh.

Alexis: It’s just a little spill.


Marshall: Thank you… gracious lady.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Marshall: Alright.

Phyllis: Marshall. I don’t want to pry, but I get the feeling you’ve lived a lot of life. I just want you to know anytime you need a friendly ear…

Marshall: You’re an insightful lady, Phyllis. And, yeah, you’re right. My life’s had twists and turns, mostly without my family, without my people. [ Chuckles ] Life, it’s tough. It’s just tough without connections.

Phyllis: Well, you don’t have to go through life alone. Sometimes you choose your family, too.

Marshall: [ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: You just never know. You might come across someone for a reason. That happened with me and my friends Sonny and Nina. They’ve become family. They’ve been there for me like nobody else. They’re actually why I’m in Port Charles.

Marshall: You’re talking about Sonny Corinthos?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. This is his place. He bought it and gave me this job after I lost Lenny and The Tan-O. I can never repay his support and generosity. Nina’s, too. But I vow to always be there for them.

Marshall: I feel the same way about protecting my family. I wasn’t here for them, but I’m here now, and I’ll fight for them, no matter the cost.


Jordan: The tipster said the evidence was on a phone inside of Trina’s bag.

Curtis: That sounds a little too neat.

Jordan: I don’t disagree, but it’s enough detail to create reasonable suspicion of a crime. Trina shouldn’t have handed that phone over.

[ Door opens ]

Taggert: How could you?! We were partners!

Curtis: Whoa. Taggert. Easy. Jordan’s just doing our job.

Taggert: And where the hell do you get off questioning her without an attorney?!

Jordan: I asked, and she declined. It wasn’t official.

Taggert: Oh. Yea– really?! But it is now, right?

Jordan: I had no choice, Taggert. I have to investigate.

[ Knock on door ]

Dante: A word?

Jordan: Yeah.

Taggert: What the hell?!

Curtis: Look, uh, you have every right to be upset, okay? Just go easy on Jordan.

Taggert: My kid is in a police interrogation room. My daughter is being framed. Trina?! Really?! Come on, man. We know she wouldn’t do this!

Curtis: And that’s weighing on Jordan, which is probably why she, uh, reached out to me to loop you and Portia in. Taggert, no one wants to see Trina get railroaded.

Jordan: Taggert.

[ Door closes ]

Taggert: I have a feeling I’m not gonna like what you have to say.

Jordan: You won’t. And trust me, I don’t like having to say it, either.


Portia: Jordan. Tell Trina not to worry.

Jordan: Trina, please come with me.

Portia: Where, exactly?

Jordan: Booking.


Nina: Scott, you’re out of time and I’m out of patience. So… ohh! Thank you for the drink. And, no, thank you, for the unsolicited advice.

Scott: Well — well — h-hang on here. I hope you listened to everything I said, because if Wiley is what you want, I will do everything in my power to get that kid for you. But if it’s Sonny, then you’re on your own. And God help you.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Nina: [ Gasps ] Hey. Phyllis. How’d it go?

Phyllis: I did what you asked and spoke with Harmony.

Nina: And?

Phyllis: It didn’t go as well as I’d hoped.

Nina: [ Sighs ]


Alexis: It’s not coming out. I probably — I should probably use some seltzer.

Harmony: No, no. No need. I’ve got everything right here.

Alexis: Oh. You found the carpet cleaner.

Harmony: Yeah.

Alexis: How’d you know that was in the basement?

Harmony: I don’t know. I guess just, like, years of being a caregiver gives you a sense of where people keep things. I hope you don’t mind. Here. I got it.

Alexis: Uh, no. It’s your home, too. For now.


Nikolas: It’s not five-star accommodations, but I’ll rent the room above Kelly’s for you to stay short-term.

Esme: Kelly’s. I, um, didn’t know there was lodging there.

Nikolas: There is.

Esme: Thank you. I’ll be all alone, but at least I won’t be on the streets.

Nikolas: You won’t be alone. I’ll stop in and check on you. Whatever the state of your relationship with Spencer, you won’t be abandoned.

Esme: Thank you, thank you, thank you! You saved my life.


Portia: Commissioner Ashford! You tell me what you’re trying to book my daughter for.

Jordan: The phone Trina handed over directly links her to the illegal possession and dissemination of unlawfully taped, sexually explicit images.

[ Taggert scoffs ]

Josslyn: That’s — that’s impossible! You have the wrong person!

Trina: It wasn’t me, Joss! It was Esme! Esme Prince!

Taggert: Trina, Trina, Trina. Shh!

Trina: She set me up!

Taggert: Trina! Not another word until we get an attorney here.

Josslyn: No! No. Trina’s right. And it was Esme. It was Esme prince! She set this whole thing up! Why aren’t you investigating Esme? I told Detective Lopez in my statement that it was her.

Dante: Okay, okay. Josslyn, this is not the time or the place. You got to calm down, or you got to leave.

Portia: Listen to me, honey. It’s gonna be okay. I don’t want you to worry. It’s gonna be fine. It’s gonna be okay.

Jordan: Detective.

Portia: No. Jordan. Don’t do this. You know her! Really?

Dante: [ Sighs ] Trina Robinson, you’re under arrest.

Portia: It’s gonna be okay.

Dante: You have the right to remain silent. Should you give up that right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights as I’ve explained them to you?

Trina: Yes.

Portia: [ Crying ]

On the next “General Hospital” —

Sam: What are you doing her?

Jordan (to Laura): There’s another piece of the puzzle I need to make you aware of.

Harmony to Alexis: Have you made any decisions I need to know about?

Ava (to Trina): This is a terrible miscarriage of justice.

Esme (to Nikolas): What did I do to deserve your kindness?

Sonny (to Carly): If somebody pulls out a knife…

Carly (to Sonny) You pull out a gun.
