Ridge: I can’t believe it. Taylor hayes, right here in front of me.

Taylor: I know, I know it’s been a while. And life goes on. A lot has changed, since I’ve been away. Some things haven’t changed at all.

Thomas: I, I still can’t believe it. Hold on a sec, so mom just showed up at your door?

Steffy: Yeah, she walked in like I was expecting her. I thought I was hallucinating.

Thomas: This is so great. I, I can’t wait to see her. And douglas is gonna be psyched.

Steffy: Oh, mom, can’t wait to hang out with her grandbabies. Fair warning: She is going to spoil them rotten.

Thomas: Wow, this is so great. We’ve been so dispersed for such a long time, now we’re finally in the same place.

Katie: You are in a terrible position, I mean, talk about caught in the middle.

Brooke: There’s no give on either side. Ridge is adamant about not wanting deacon around and hope is equally insistent on giving her father a place in her life.

Katie: How could you not support hope having the experience of reconciling with her father the way we did? Hope deserves to have a relationship with her dad.

[People grunting on video]

[Grunting]

[Door knocking]

Hope: Come in! Oh, hey, dad.

Deacon: I should have called first, don’t be shy. Just let me know. I just thought I’d drop by, saw liam’s car wasn’t in the driveway. Don’t want to over-step.

Hope: Ah, I’m going to tell you this as many times as you need to hear it, you will always be welcome in my home.

Deacon: Alright, I gotta admit, that was pretty cute seeing douglas drawing there while beth takes her nap.

Hope: Yep, he’s pretty protective of her.

Deacon: Keeping the goblins away, huh?

Hope: Yeah, something like that.

Deacon: I just, I can’t tell you what this means to be a part of my granddaughter’s life. Just even, you know, ducking and seeing her taking her nap means a lot.

Hope: Yeah, well I’m just excited for the two of you to get to know each other even more.

Deacon, well we’ve got a lot of lost time to make up for, but that is exactly what I intend on doing. I really do appreciate you and brooke giving me this chance.

Brooke: Hope let me read a few of the letters that deacon wrote to her from prison. And that’s when I realized that he was genuinely committed to being a good and present father. He just wants a place in hope’s life.

Katie: That’s something we could have only wished for with our father when we were growing up.

Brooke: All we ever wanted was dad’s love and attention.

Katie: It took a lot of work when he came back into our lives, but now we have a relationship with him that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Hope deserves that same opportunity.

Thomas: Yeah, I wonder if dad’s seen mom.

Steffy: Uh… I am sure they have not crossed paths yet.

Thomas: Oh? Are you going to tell him that she’s here? Or are you just going to let him be surprised?

Steffy: No, I’m going to let mom decide. Because I know when she sees dad, it’s going to be like a significant moment for her.

Thomas: In what way?

Steffy: I don’t know, I, I got the sense that mom, she still really loves dad.

Ridge: And I think that’s how we ended up in the same room, right?

Taylor: I think so.

Ridge: I’m glad you’re here.

Taylor: Oh, that means a lot coming from you.

Ridge: I mean it.

Taylor: Yeah. I think I’m going to stay here for a while.

Ridge: I can’t tell you how glad I am to hear that. Maybe it’s another refill at your favorite diner…

Katie: I don’t mean to dig up painful memories, but, how do we look away when hope’s situation is so similar to our own? I mean, our dad walked out on us when we were kids. He wasn’t there for us, and deacon wasn’t there when hope was growing up. And you know how that feels, how it feels to long for that absent parent.

Brooke: I was so conflicted about him not being there for her when she was young, even though it was probably the best thing for her. But still, it made me angry to know that he could hurt her without a second thought.

Katie: Of course it made you angry. It’s a terrible thing to do to a child. But if that, if that missing parent comes back and truly, truly, truly wants to make amends and wants to, to try to, to put their relationship back together, then, then, shouldn’t he have a chance? I mean, we gave our father the chance to salvage his relationship with us. I mean, what if the same thing could happen with hope and deacon? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if hope could have her father back in her life again?

Deacon: I wish I could go back sometimes, you know, and make better choices when it comes to you, been a constant presence in your life. You know, it’s funny. When I think about it, I don’t know why. I-I, there’s nothing that I’ve done in my life which makes up for the time that I’ve lost with you.

Hope: Well, we don’t have to look back at what we didn’t have. We can focus on what we’re building now.

Deacon: I just, I just appreciate the chance that you and brooke are giving me because I know what you’re risking by believing in me. Ridge and liam have already voiced their objections, those are pretty clear. I promise I’m not going to let you down.

Hope: Do I look worried?

Deacon: Actually, you don’T. Which is kind of weird, but… hey, what is that, a martial arts video?

Hope: Oh yes, I have actually been taking a self-defense class online.

Deacon: Really? Wow. You’re singing my song, I, who knew we have something else in common?

Steffy: Thankfully mom knew how to get you back.

Thomas: It comes in handy, having a shrink in the family.

Steffy: I’m proud of you for being open enough to accept her help.

Thomas: Yeah, well, I wanted to be better.

Steffy: And you are.

Thomas: Thanks to mom. Her wisdom.

Steffy: I’m so happy she’s back.

Thomas: Yeah, well, work kept her away for quite a while this time.

Steffy: Well, part of it was work. But I think she stayed away because it was just too hard to see dad living his life with brooke. You know what that means.

Thomas: I think you might be right. I think mom on some level is still in love with dad.

Steffy: Mm hm.

Taylor: And, you know, we get caught up in our own lives and our own drama.

Ridge: Mm hm.

Taylor: And it’s okay. Sometimes we have no choice.

Ridge: Cheers.

Taylor: But it’s nice to step out of the mindset of self and be there for others. There’s just so much going on in the world right now, you know? It can be overwhelming, so it’s, it’s such an honor for me to be able to to be there for people to help them…

Ridge: Why are you making it sounds like this is news to me? It’s not. You’re selfless. You’ve always been selfless.

Taylor: Hm. Not always. There’s a reason I came home and that’s all about me.

Ridge: What does that mean? I missed my kids. Hm, I had this yearning to reconnect with them, and to, to be hands-on with my grandkids. Video chat was great to keep up with steffy and thomas’s life, but… it was time for me to come home in person.

Ridge: Couldn’t agree more. You saw me walk in, I was just, I was, um… anyway, now I’m happy, and that’s because you. And I’m I’m glad you’re going to stick around for a while.

These are the faces

Hope: I didn’t realize you were into martial arts.

Deacon: Yeah, all my life. You know this, this online stuff it’s okay if you’re, you know, looking to get a little cardio in. But real martial arts, like karate. It’s about focus and discipline. Honor, respect, all things that I hope to show you. You know, if you um, if you want, I could, I could maybe teach you a couple of things.

Hope: Seriously?

Deacon: Yeah. Bow to your sensei.

Hope: Okay. Hey! Lesson one, eyes here. The most important thing is right in front of you.

Katie: What stands out to me are the holidays. I mean, we couldn’t really enjoy them the way other kids could. We were always waiting for, for your dad to see if he would come home or make a phone call or send a postcard. It’s cruel to leave your kids and never look back. I mean, how many times did we hold hands and pray for him to come home? That pain is a part of us. Just like storm’s heart is part of me. Our stormy. We leaned on him so much, we forced him into that role because dad abandoned it. It leaves scars. You know, if hope has a chance, another shot with deacon, then her wounds can heal. I don’t think you should let anyone make you feel like it’s wrong to not support that. If deacon says that he is ready and willing to be a father to hope and a grandfather to her children, then I say that’s something you should celebrate. I say it’s beautiful. It’s amazing.

Brooke: It is, it is. It is beautiful. If only ridge would see it that way.

Taylor: So tell me, as thomas’s father, from your perspective. After everything that you’ve witnessed between him and hope. How is our son doing? Is there any backsliding that I should know about?

Ridge: No, I think he’s doing great now. I watch him all the time. He’s, uh, in a good place. You should see some of the work he’s doing for hope for the future. It’s, it’s amazing. He’s so focused and committed. It’s good.

Taylor: And how is his relationship with hope?

Ridge: It’s fine, they’re friends, they work together, there’s no problem.

Taylor: I’m relieved.

>>Ridge: You’re relieved, but you can’t be surprised because thomas is where he is because of what you did.

Taylor: Ah, but thomas is the one that did all the work. But there is something that concerns me.

Ridge: About thomas?

Taylor: Douglas.

Ridge: Concerned about douglas, what? He’s a, he’s a little kid, he’s happy, he’s fine, he’s well-adjusted.

Taylor: Yeah, and that’s great, but why isn’t he living with his father? Shouldn’t thomas have his son back by now? Let’s not forget, douglas is a forrester.

Ridge: I don’t think anyone’s forgotten that he’s a forrester.

Taylor: It concerns me that he is living at brooke’s with hope, surrounded by all those logans at such an impressionable age.

Ridge: Okay, okay, alright.

Taylor: I don’t mean to sound ungrateful. I, I’m sure that hope has been wonderful to douglas, and, and brooke opened her door to him. I’m sure he’s very happy there.

Ridge: He is happy. And what makes you think he doesn’t see his father?

>>Taylor: Ah, seeing his father isn’t the same as living with him. Come on, ridge. A boy needs his father, especially at douglas’s age. And right now he’s living, he’s living in brooke’s cabin, on brooke’s property, with hope and liam. Where’s the biology?

Ridge: Where’s the biology? Biology’s right here, his very sexy grandfather’s right there for him.

Taylor: Yes, well thank god for you. It’s a good thing. You know what, I probably, I probably shouldn’t even be talking about this. I don’t want to cause any problems for you and brooke. What was that? What was that..? Is there trouble in your marriage? With age comes more…

Brooke: Thanks for your support. I really don’t get much of that when it comes to deacon. And that’s understandable. I mean, he doesn’t have the best track record. But that’s the whole point, right? People change. They evolve.

Kate: Yeah, I believe that.

Brooke: It’s not like hope and I have blinders on. We’re well aware of the disappointment that he’s caused her through the years.

Katie: But he regrets all that.

Brooke: Mhm, and hope desperately wants to have a relationship with him. So, I’m certainly not going to stop her. You know, so far, deacon’s been nice and genuine and loving. He’s not up to his old tricks, like taking advantage of people. Things aren’t missing.

Katie: Well, it took our dad years to redeem himself. He thought that that time had passed, but it hadn’t, and I just have to believe that with family, it’s, it’s never too late. Maybe that’s what deacon is trying to do. I mean, how can we not support hope in this? She’s getting a second chance with her father, just like we did with ours. I mean, it took a lot of work, but we, we reconciled and we forgave each other. And now we have a relationship with our dad that I wouldn’t trade for anything. And I know that you and donna feel the same way.

Brooke: I want that for her. I don’t want ridge and me to be the reason that she doesn’t have a relationship with her dad.

Katie; letting go of the past is never easy. But it can be done. And when it comes to family, forgiveness is never wrong. I’m sorry that ridge feels the way he does, but deacon is hope’s father. And they deserve a place in each other’s lives.

Brooke: Let’s just hope that ridge comes to the same conclusion.

Taylor: You know what? I take that back. I should not be questioning your, your marriage to brooke. I’m just going to assume that everything’s okay and leave it at that.

Ridge: Can we not do that, please? Can we not pretend that we don’t know each other. You could read me better than anyone, always. So yeah. There’s something that brooke and I are, something that we can’t agree on. Something, some, someone.

Taylor: Someone?

Ridge: Deacon sharpe.

Taylor: Isn’t he in prison?

Ridge: He was. Got out early, and now he’s here.

Taylor: So deacon’s back in town?

Ridge: Mhm. Sniffing around hope. Same old story, he’s trying to tell her that he’s a better person, a better father and… hope is buying it. She wants him in her life.

Taylor: Well, brooke can’t be okay with that.

Ridge: She wasn’t when he first came back. She was agreeing with me.

Taylor: Was like past tense?

Ridge: Yeah, past tense. I tell her, I tell hope who this guy really is, and no one’s listening and I almost get it. Hope wants to be with her dad. She wants to believe that he’s a good person, but brooke is buying this new version of deacon that he’s a, an improved man, and it troubles me.

Taylor: Well, of course it does. Especially considering brooke and deacon’s sordid past.

Ridge: Especially with that. Brooke… this man has brought nothing but pain and suffering. And she still wants him in her life, after everything he’s done to her, bridget, hope… I don’t know. I just don’t know what to do with it.

Taylor: I’m sorry. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Adam: Hey. Fueling up for the workday?

Sally: Yeah, just a little caffeine and some brain food to get my wheels turning.

Adam: Mm. Do you mind if I join you?

Sally: Not at all. I’d love the company.

Adam: So I was — was thinking about what you said yesterday about your run-in with Billy.

Sally: Oh? ‘Cause I distinctly remember you telling me to stay out of your business with him.

Adam: Um…I had a change of heart. Sounds like he was in quite a state. Maybe you could find out more about what’s going on with him.

Sally: Are you asking me to spy for you?

throw pillows?

Abby: I did, yep, yep. I wasn’t a fan of the old ones, and apparently Dominic wasn’t either, because he spit up all over them.

[ Chuckles ] Hey, he’s got good taste. We might have an interior designer on our hands.

Chance: I’m sorry I missed that.

Abby: There will be plenty more spit-up to come.

Phyllis: Hey.

Jack: Hiya. May we all find someone to look at us the way Abby and Chance look at each other.

Phyllis: Yeah, it’s nice.

Jack: You certainly threw this party together rather quickly.

Phyllis: Well, you know, they asked me to. They — they’ve gone through a lot. They deserve it. So, I’m glad your trip was successful.

J ack:Oh, thanks. I am just in awe of my niece right now. The devotion, the dedication, the level of love is so deep and connected that, well, she seemed to know in her heart that chance was alive even when everyone was telling her there’s no way he could’ve survived.

Phyllis: Well, that is a special kind of love, when you — when you find it, you have to hold onto it with both hands.

Jack: I’m sure she’s gonna cherish it all the more knowing that she almost lost him. And what he endured, my God. Faking his own death in order to not be discovered. I don’t know anything about that. I do know it’s good that he’s home.

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

Sharon: Hmm. So, you don’t want to dampen the festivities, I get it.

Nick: You got it. I don’t want to put Chance through any more of the Newman family drama.

Sharon: Well, just make a decision to be civil. You know, I doubt that Victoria and Victor want things to get ugly either.

Nick: It’s not that simple. I mean, earlier today, Ashland and I got into it yet again.

Sharon: What? Why? I thought that all of your issues with him were moot at this point.

Nick: It was his doing. You know, he summoned me to Newman Enterprises and basically demanded that I tell him all the reasons why I don’t like and trust him, which I did in incredible detail.

[ Sighs ] And wouldn’t you know it, Victoria just happens to walk in as I’m warning him that he better not hurt Victoria.

Sharon: Oh, no.

Nick: Yeah. I tried to tell her that this is what Ashland wanted, but she didn’t care. And then she’s the one who told me that Chance is alive, which is just further proof that I am completely out of the loop in this family.

Sharon: Wow. And here I was thinking that you were just worried you were gonna run into Phyllis and things might get a little awkward.

Billy: Ah. Can I get another one, please? Thank you.

[ Sighs ] Ah, yeah, that explains it. Could feel the joy being sucked out of the room. What are you doing here?

Victor: Well, I certainly am not sitting at a bar in the middle of the day, wallowing in self-pity and my failures.

Billy: Thank you, sir.

Victor: Is that the first one?

Billy: Ah. I think you know it’s not. I’m having an adult beverage. There’s worse things a man can do.

Victor: [ Laughs ] You certainly would know, wouldn’t you?

Billy: You know, Victor, the last time I saw you, I was a groveling, sniffling mess.

Victor: You were.

Billy: I played the sacrificial lamb, laid myself at your feet, asking for mercy. That’s not gonna happen again.

Victor: Oh?

Billy: So if you’re looking for that today, you’re gonna be disappointed

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

Victor: So, Billy boy, i understand that Victoria and Ashland made a preemptive offer for ChanceCom.

Billy: That is right, they did.

Victor: Hmm. Good move on their part.

Billy: You know, when I came to you and offered to step down from ChanceCom in order to make sure that Llily could run the company on her own without interference, thought I was gonna hear from you. But now I understand that all you want to do is watch me squirm.

Victor: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Wait for ChanceCom to lose some value so you can come in and swoop it up. Except now you have some competition.

Victor: Do you think that you mommy, Jill, is going to accept the offer?

Billy: Do you think that I’m gonna tell you that?

Victor: Do you know why i think Victoria made that preemptive offer? To spare you the humiliation of losing to Adam. In other words, Victoria came to your rescue. Huh? But no matter how you turn this, no matter what direction you will go in, you’ll have to face the music. You’re gonna have to pay the consequence of your actions.

You are approached by a reporter.

Lily: Newman Media or another outlet?

Billy: Your choice. They ask you what the hell you’re thinking staying with the man that tanked your entire empire.

Lily: I know.

Billy: Why not just, you know, cut him loose and wash your hands of the whole thing?

Lily: You know, I would say i should, but I love him, we’re partners, and I believe in second chances.

Billy: Wow, I was half-joking, but that is one of the nicest things you’ve ever said to me.

Ashland: 10 — that’s how many times you’ve checked the phone since we arrived.

Victoria: Are you keeping tabs on me?

Abby: Sorry. Dominic was fussy.

Chance: What were you saying?

Abby: [ Chuckles ] I was saying I’m sorry that it took me so long to get dominic down. I thought you were probably bored down here, all alone, but it looks like you found a way to pass the time.

I sure did. Truth is, I asked dom for some help, right? I just needed him to keep mommy a little bit occupied so I could set up down here. Champagne?

Abby: Thank you. Should I be worried that our son, who’s only a few months old, is already plotting and hatching schemes?

Chance: Oh, no, no, no, no. He had the best intentions in mind.

Abby: What a thoughtful infant.

Chance: I know, right? And get this — he even gave the nanny the night off.

Abby: He’s already making personnel decisions, too?

Chance: Can you believe it?

Abby: [ Gasps ] Well, it looks like we’re almost all alone.

Chance: Hmm. “Almost”? What do you mean?

Abby: Your grandmother.

Chance: Ahh. See, jill is staying the night in chicago tonight. Work thing.

Abby: So it’s just the two of us…

Chance: Mm-hmm.

Abby: …All alone…

Chance: Mm.

Abby: …In this very big house. Whatever shall we do to pass the time?

Chance: Hmm.

[ Glasses clink ]

Amanda: Oh. I thought you were gonna spend the whole night in the shower. It must have felt good after your run, huh?

Devon: It felt great, yeah. What’s — what’s happening here? I thought we were gonna go out.

Amanda: Ah, well, that was a decoy.

Devon: A decoy?

Amanda: Mm-hmm.

Devon: I smell something really good from the kitchen, too.

Amanda: Mm-hmm. I, um, wanted to surprise you, so I threw together some shrimp and snow peas and saffron rice. It has a little kick to it, so i hope you can handle the heat.

Devon: I think you already know the answer to that question.

Amanda: Mm. Good. And don’t get used to me cooking you gourmet dinners because after imani and I open the firm, I am gonna be very, very busy.

Devon: Ah. Well… now, I only see two plates here. What do you know that I don’t?

Amanda: Well, I know that moses is watching the game with nate. So it’s just the two of us tonight. Is that a problem?

Devon: No, I don’t have a problem at all.

Noah: [ Exhaling sharply ]

[ Sniffles ]

[ Sighs ]

Adam: Noah. Let me, uh — let me buy you a drink.

Noah: Uh…I don’t know.

Adam: So, you meeting someone? Or hoping to meet someone? I promise I won’t cramp your style. We can sit at opposite ends of the bar, if that helps.

Noah: Sure. Why not? I think you’ve earned that privilege.

[ Sighs ]

Nick: Mom! Mom?

Victor: What happened?

Nick: I got a text from mom. She said I got to come right over. What happened?

Victor: I have no clue. What’s that all about?

Nikki: I’ll tell you. I am sick and tired of the tension between the two of you. I’ve had enough of it, and the holidays are fast approaching.

Nick: [ Sighs ] That’s the emergency?

Nikki: Well, the two of you seem determined to ruin them over this ridiculous standoff, but not if I have anything to say about it. And believe me — I do. Serena: It’s my 3:10

Nick: Mother, I love you, but I do not appreciate the phony urgent message.

Nikki: Well, I’m sorry, but it was the most efficient method I had in getting you here.

Nick: I’m sure dad doesn’t like it, either.

Victor: No, no, on the contrary. I think it’s good if you and i can talk things out, okay? And if your mother used some subterfuge to get you here, that’s alright.

Nick: Clearly you learned this trick from him.

Nikki: Look, I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep this family together, and i don’t need anyone’s influence or permission to do that.

Victor: Sweetheart, we appreciate your efforts.

Nikki: Good. I’m going to leave you to sort that out, but I will not be far in case there’s trouble.

Victor: Okay, okay. Mm-hmm. So, son, what’s up?

Nick: I mean, why even try? We have talked about this a thousand times. Nothing ever gets settled.

Victor: We haven’t talked about this a thousand times. We’ve talked about this once, at your sister’s wedding, in the heat of the moment. And since that time, you’ve been avoiding me.

Nick: I’ve been busy.

Victor: Oh, yeah? Well, so have I, son. That’s why I didn’t press the issue, okay? Now, I guess most other conflicts have been solved. I mean, chance is home. Abby has her family. Victoria is happily married to ashland locke. And billy boy was kept at bay.

Nick: Thanks to adam.

Victor: Yeah. Your mother was very effective in neutralizing billy boy abbott. She doesn’t like him, you know, especially after that exposé that billy boy published.

Nick: Well, I’m not gonna defend billy, especially to you.

Victor: Please don’T.

Nick: And I can understand why you would bring up my siblings. I mean, they all seem pretty cool with the way you’re behaving. You want to work things out with me, you begin by playing us against each other. Not a great start.

Noah: So, the real question is, did you come here hoping to meet someone?

Adam: Uh, that is the furthest thing from my mind at this point.

Noah: Mm.

Adam: All I’m focused on is the business and my son.

Noah: Yeah, but you got some holiday parties coming up, right?

Adam: Mm. A few.

Noah: So, who you taking? Now, I remember you brought sally to the wedding in italy.

Adam: Mm. No. We’re just colleagues. That was, um — that was all about getting the dress she designed in victoria’s hands. Why you asking about sally? Are you, uh, interested in her?

Noah: No. [ Clears throat ] No, I was — I was just wondering. Connor had mentioned that chelsea might be coming home soon.

Adam: I hope she does. Be good for connor… and for newman media.

Noah: But not for you?

Adam: [ Sighs ] The, uh — the way that we flamed out, that was enough to scare me away from relationships altogether. So I will leave the romance to people who are much better at it than I am.

Abby: Thank you.

[ Laughter ]

[ Indistinct speaking ]

[ Laughter ] Oh, look at this one. Honestly, I thought I was getting my floors cleaned.

Devon: I got to tell you, I was very, very impressed with how delicious that dinner was.

Amanda: Yeah?

Devon: Uh-huh.

Amanda: Good, because i really wanted to surprise you. I didn’t want to go out again.

Devon: Oh, no, it was a great idea. We didn’t have to worry about running into anybody, and it could just be the two of us.

Amanda: Yeah. And it was nice to just decompress after the past few weeks that we’ve had.

Devon: I know, and if i haven’t said thank you enough for how patient you were while dominic was staying with us…

Amanda: You have thanked me many, many times. And you don’t have to, okay? Dominic is — he’s adorable, and he is the sweetest little baby.

Devon: I know, but it’s still not what you signed up for when you moved in here.

Amanda: Maybe it’s not, but, you know, I have to admit that i really have loved seeing that side of you. You know, I just — [ Chuckles ] You’re so sweet and nurturing, not to mention sexy as hell.

Devon: [ Laughs ] Well, I’m just happy that I was able to be there, you know, able to step up like that. I made a promise to dominic the day he was born that I’d always be there for him, so it’s — no. It’s good. I’m happy that chance is back home now and, you know, that everything can go back to normal.

Amanda: You know, um… I-I get it. I really understand why you have to put on a happy face for abby and for chance, but it’s just the two of us. You can tell me how you really feel.

Devon: That’s what I’m doing.

Amanda: No. I can tell that there’s a lot more in your heart that you’re not letting out. And you can trust me with this, okay? How do you feel now that dominic’s gone?

Devon: How do I feel? I mean, I got used to him being around here, so…

Amanda: And?

Devon: I miss him… every single day. I miss him so much that it hurts.

Abby: What are you thinking about?

Chance: [ Smooches ] Nothing. My, uh, mind just wandered a little.

Abby: I’m just wondering what put that frown on your face.

Chance: It’s nothing. I promise. [ Smooches ]

Abby: Okay. You don’t have to tell me. Or maybe you can when you’re ready, someday.

Chance: What I keep coming back to…you know, the thought that I’m stuck with… is the way that I left when i did. I just left. Then I was gone. We didn’t talk about it or anything. I mean, that’s just so unfair to you.

Abby: Yeah, it was a bit shocking, coming home and just finding a letter explaining what happened, why you were leaving. But that’s your sense of duty. It’s one of the things I fell in love with.

Chance: Yeah, that was my rationale at the time. It was my duty. I had to go. I mean, I don’t know. Looking back on it now, i just…

[ Sighs ] I think there might have been more to it.

Abby: What do you mean?

Chance: I mean, I think some of it had to do with what was going on between us.

Victor: Son, I honestly don’t know what you’re getting at. I mean, do you think that I have paid more attention to your siblings or what?

Nick: You know what? You can try and frame it like that, but that is not the case.

Victor: Mm.

Nick: I’m very glad that you’ve been able to help some of your children through some difficult times. I’m sure they appreciate the support. They may even think it’s gonna last.

Victor: You know that I’ll always be there for my children.

Nick: Yeah, but, see, your support is conditional. You know, it’s contingent upon us toeing the line. Vick and abby — they run businesses that you approve of. They’re in marriages that you approve of.

Victor: [ Breathes deeply ]

Nick: Why you were cool with ashland I will never understand, but maybe it’s just enough that he’s not billy. And adam? Wow. I mean, what more could anyone ask for, right? He’s loyal, follows your rules, obeys your orders. He’s no longer with chelsea, who I know you never trusted.

Victor: Never will.

Nick: But I know this period of peace and tranquility is temporary because someday soon one of them’s gonna do something that you don’t like. They’re gonna make a business decision that you disagree with or get involved with someone that you don’t care for. And then the tables will be turned because no one’s really on super solid ground with you, dad. One disagreement, and all of a sudden you’re on the outside.

Victor: And you think that’s what I’ve done to you?

Nick: Yeah. I do.

Victor: Son, why would I kick you outside? I mean, I don’t understand that. Why? Because I didn’t ask you to join me in getting rid of gaines at victoria’s wedding? Or because I didn’t ask you to help me contain billy boy’s disturbance at the wedding? Was that the test that I didn’t pass?

Abby: Alright, so, I am a little confused. What was going on between us that sent you running off to spain?

Chance: Baby, I shouldn’t have put it that way. I’m sorry. I didn’t want to leave you.

[ Sighs ] It was just — it was really hard on me, the feeling that i let you down.

Abby: What are you talking about? You’re the perfect husband.

Chance: No, I’m not. No, I’m not, abby. I failed you. I couldn’t give you a baby. I couldn’t do that for you.

Abby: No. But I thought that you had come to terms with what we had to do. I thought that you had made peace with it.

Chance: No, I — it was how I wanted to feel, not how I actually did.

Abby: Well, I wish you would have told me. I would have understood.

Chance: I know. I know, baby. And I’m — I’m sorry. I just wanted to explain what was going on in my head at the time. I-I hate saying it. I hate it. But it was almost a relief, you know, going on a mission. I knew I was good at that. At least, I thought I was good at that. But I never thought that I would be gone for so long. I thought it was gonna be a couple weeks, a month at tops, I promise.

Abby: Yeah. I thought that you’d be home before the baby was born.

Chance: I know. Me too. I understand if you’re angry at me. I mean, you have every right to be.

Abby: No. I have no room in my heart for anger because I am just so happy that you’re home. And, look, let me make one thing very clear. I wouldn’t have had a baby if it weren’t for you. I mean, this whole idea, this plan to start a family — that was all you. And I never would have been able to have the courage to follow through with it if I didn’t have your full support. So, yes, we did need help from friends to make our dream a reality, but when I look at our beautiful baby boy… all I see is this gift, this gift that you gave me. And when I thought that you weren’t gonna come home, that you wouldn’t be able to meet your son [Sighs] It killed me. So I just want you to know that, yes, you have some things that you’re going through, but you’re home. And I know that you are gonna be the most amazing father.

Amanda: I think that it’s perfectly normal for you to miss dom. You threw yourself into caring for him, and you have such a unique bond.

Devon: Yeah. I just — I never knew that — how much babies can communicate without even speaking. ‘Cause, like, I swear that i would — I would be able to know what he was feeling and what he was thinking and what his little sounds meant, you know, when he was tired or when he was hungry, and know, like, just the right things to do to get him to smile or to get him to go to bed. I’m sure chance will learn all that stuff, too.

Amanda: Yeah. I’m that he will. But I know that that doesn’t make it any less of a loss for you now that dom isn’t living here.

Devon: I don’t want you to get me wrong, either. I don’t want you to think that I’m not happy that chance is back ’cause I am.

Amanda: I know.

Devon: You know?

Amanda: Of course.

Devon: It’s just that everyone started to assume that I was gonna take over that role in dominic’s life. And even abby said it. She said that I’m — I’m the only father he’ll ever know.

Amanda: Well, that’s because she believed that at the time.

Devon: No, yeah, and so did I. Or I started to let myself believe it. I started letting myself believe that he’d call me dad one day. But he’s not gonna do that, and I have to let go of that idea. And I’m just — I’m — I haven’t figured out how to do that yet.

Amanda: It’s gonna be okay. Okay? You know, this feeling that you’re feeling right now, this pain — it’s just — it’s because you — you give away pieces of your heart. But that’s also what makes you such a good man.

Devon: I don’t know about that ’cause what I’m feeling seems like it’s selfish.

Amanda: No. No. It is not selfish. It is completely understandable. The bond that you have with dominic — it is not gonna change, no matter what he calls you. He’s always gonna know that you have his back. Devon, everyone that you love knows how lucky they are to have you in their lives. I hope you know how loved you are in return.

Devon: I know that I love you. Thank you.

Amanda: Yeah?

Devon: Yeah.

[ Both chuckle ]

Nick: The situation in tuscany could have really backfired because you didn’t keep me in the loop. I was this close to disrupting victoria’s wedding.

Victor: But you didn’t, so why are you upset about it now?

Nick: I’m saying it could have been a disaster because i didn’t have all the information. You turned to adam and shut me out.

Victor: Has it ever occurred to you that adam might have been looking for an opportunity to prove himself, that he wanted to do something that made him acceptable to the family? You never had to do that.

Nick: Don’t I?

Victor: You have often disapproved of your father’s actions, both in regard to family matters and business, right?

Nick: Yeah. Well, I think it bothers you that I have a conscience.

Victor: Do you think I was going to discuss the subtleties of morality with you in tuscany, in the midst of that crisis? You walked around as if you didn’t want to be there! So I turned to adam to assist me.

Nick: And I had no say in that matter.

Victor: I honestly did not think that you were even interested in that matter. You didn’t want your sister to get married to that guy! Right? So I didn’t think you had any input!

Nick: And there it is. If you know I’m gonna disagree with you, then you don’t have any need for me, do you? Can you understand why that would bother me?

New vicks convenience pack.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Abby: What are you doing?

Chance: I don’t think this thing is working right.

Abby: Yes, it is.

Chance: Well, I mean, i haven’t heard a noise in a long time. Have you?

Abby: Because dom is fast asleep. Hey, do not jinx it.

Chance: Okay, I’m just, like, a little worried about —

[ Dominic cooing ] Oh.

Abby: There you go.

Chance: There you go.

Abby: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. You feel better now?

Chance: Yeah.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] Don’t worry. You’ll get the hang of it. This is nice.

Chance: It sure is. I love it when it’s just you and me.

Abby: Yeah. That reminds me of when you were living in the hotel and we would stay up all night just talking about our future.

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: [ Yawns ]

Chance: Oh, you’re not staying up all night tonight, huh, sleepy?

Abby: [ Laughs ] Yes, yes, i am because I have — I have some questions I want to ask you.

Chance: Yeah? Like what?

Abby: Like what can I do to make this transition easier on you?

Chance: Oh, baby. You’re doing everything that you can.

Abby: Mm.

Chance: I got to do some of it on my own. I’ll promise you one thing. I will never prioritize work over family again.

Abby: Good. But I know how important work it to you.

Chance: Yeah, well, I’m gonna have to find a balance when i go back to the gcpd.

Abby: You know, don’t ever change for me. Who you are is exactly who i want you to be. Mm.

Chance: Close your eyes. Rest.

Noah: You know, we got so many good shots right there on the coffeehouse patio. Tess was really happy.

Adam: So, you just turned crimson lights into your own personal studio?

Noah: Yeah.

Adam: Your mom must have loved that.

Noah: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, well, you know how she is. Supportive, always down to help out.

Adam: That sounds like sharon.

Noah: And we also talked about your job offer.

Adam: Yeah? What’d she say?

Noah: She reminded me that we all make mistakes, told me that I shouldn’t hold your past against you and I should treat this opportunity just like any other and give you the chance to prove that you’re being sincere.

Adam: I did not tell her to say that, by the way.

Noah: Yeah. I believe you. It was good advice, though. It got me thinking.

Adam: Any conclusions?

Noah: [ Sighs ] I’ve decided to take you up on your offer.

Adam: I’m glad to hear that.

Victor: I think you’re reading too much into what happened in tuscany, alright? I did what I had to do. There was a crisis. I solved it.

Nick: And I’m guessing you aren’t gonna apologize for that.

Victor: Why the hell would I? I did everything in my power to ensure your sister’s happiness during her wedding! Besides that, I know what your advice would have been.

Nick: And you didn’t want to hear it.

Victor: No, I didn’T. What if I had come to you and said, “son, I’d like your advice, okay? Give it to me. Aha. Well, I don’t like it now. I’m going in a different direction.” What would you have done?

Nick: It would have been a start.

Victor: To hell with it. You would never have accepted it.

Nick: It doesn’t matter because that scenario never would happen because you don’t want to hear opposing viewpoints.

Victor: I’ve made my own judgments ever since I was a little boy! I grew up without parents! I built a huge empire and a family! Do you think I’m gonna apologize for what the hell I do?! Is that your test for me? Is that what I failed? So be it!

Chance: [ Sighs ]

[ Breathes deeply ]

Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Victor: Sorry, son, that things got a little heated, okay? But I get the feeling that you’re sitting in judgment of me. I guess you don’t like what I’ve said.

Nick: Ah, you’re not the first person to say that.

Victor: Oh?

Nick: Phyllis, uh… she said something like that. She said that I, uh [Sighs] Would give her ultimatums, uh, about being who she was or we end the relationship.

Victor: I honestly don’t give a damn what that woman thinks. I just hope that, uh, you realize that you and I can disagree with one another without disrespecting each other, right? I mean, by the way, you’re the one who avoided me. To be frank with you, that was hurtful.

Nick: Yeah, uh…I know. It was just… so you know, I wasn’t doing that out of anger or frustration. You know, I’ve been really looking at the situation, talking to sharon about it. I’ve come to accept the fact that I have a huge part of this blame. I guess I hold people to different standards. You know, if they don’t, uh, fall in line with me, then i tend to wash my hands of them.

Victor: Well, wait a minute. That sounds like something i would be accused of.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] It does, doesn’t it?

Victor: Yeah. It does.

Nick: Well, then I guess my problem is that we are not too different. Maybe we’re too similar.

Victor: Yeah, well, you know, maybe we are. I’ve heard adam complain about the fact that he never knows where he stands with me. I’ve heard your sister utter the same sentiments. I just am who I am, you know? Not gonna change. But, son…you know that I would give my life for any of you.

Nick: I know you would. You just don’t always want to hear from us.

Victor: To be very honest with you, I don’t, you know? And I’m sure you’ll never have this conversation with your kids. You know, I got to tell you something. The reason you won’t have that conversation with them is because you have always been loving with them. You’ve always been there for them, from the very beginning, always been reassuring, you know? I bet you they feel very sure of themselves because of you. Which means… I think, in many ways, you have been a better father than I have been.

Devon: What are the odds of us running into each other twice in one day, man?

Chance: Well, I guess we’re just lucky, huh?

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. I’ll have what he’s having, please.

Chance: Oh, here. Have mine. I haven’t even touched it.

Devon: Oh. Is abby here?

Chance: No, she’s back at home, sleeping. Not a care in the world.

Devon: Amanda’s doing the exact same thing. And my question is, how do they do it?

Chance: Man, you are telling me. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in a long time. You know, the seven-hour time difference still has me jacked up a little bit, so…

Devon: I can imagine. I wish I had a good excuse like that. I just can’t turn my mind off.

Chance: Yeah.

Devon: Hey, are you okay? Like, you doing alright? ‘Cause it kind of seems like you’re not.

When you have nausea,

[ Glasses clink ]

Devon: I hope I didn’t offend you.

Chance: No, man, no. Ahh. That’s very perceptive of you, actually.

Devon: Yeah?

Chance: No. I’m not okay. And — and it’s getting harder to pretend like I am.

Devon: Who you pretending for?

Chance: Feels like everyone.

Devon: Even abby?

Chance: I mean, I can — I can talk to her about some of it, but not everything.

Devon: Well, that’s unfortunate, man, ’cause I know that she would want to know what’s going on with you.

Chance: Yeah. You’re right. She would.

Devon: Yeah. She’d want to help you.

Chance: She absolutely would. She’d want to reassure me that everything is great and that i haven’t done anything wrong. And in her eyes, I’m the perfect husband and the perfect father.

Devon: You don’t see yourself like that?

Chance: Not even close.

Devon: Okay. Well, I mean, the fact that she does — that’s a good thing, right?

Chance: It’s just not who i am, man. I let her down before our baby was even born. I mean, I failed her.

Devon: I don’t know how you figure that you failed anybody. You’re home. You made it. You’re alive. You know, you have a brand-new son. You got a great wife.

Chance: Do I deserve it? You know, I made commitments to abby and dominic. I’m gonna do everything that i can to try to live up to them. But — but the question is, can I?

Nick: I never meant for this to turn into a “who’s the better father?” Contest.

Victor: Well, if that were the only contest, I wouldn’t mind losing it, you know? You know that every father wants his son to be better than them. You know that. And you are. Now, I certainly was a better father than that son of a bitch albert miller. But that was a low bar to clear.

Nick: Well, it’s pretty damn impressive, you know. You didn’t have any parents to teach you how to be a father.

Victor: No, I certainly didn’T. I didn’t have a mother or a father, you know? I just remember those dreadful people in that damn orphanage. Yeah. However, whatever good I’ve done in my life, I must say i attribute some of it to your mother.

Nick: She is amazing. But don’t sell yourself short, okay, dad?

Victor: [ Sighs ] Yeah, but, you know, in very important moments in my life, she has always been there with very good advice. She has helped me a lot. But I got to tell you something, son. You make me proud to be a grandfather. When I see you with your kids, it makes me happy. Makes me proud. Come here.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

you are doing great, mrs. M. Does that mean dr. Finn will release me today? I was just coming by to give you the good news. I know you can’t wait to get home. But what about me? Oh, I — I’m gonna miss you, mrs. M. I will miss you, too, dr. Ashford.

[ Chuckles ] Aunt stella?! Wha…

[ Laughs ] In the flesh! Oh, and I’m so darn proud of you right now, my heart’s about to fly right out of my chest! Look at you! Ah!

[ Laughs ] Marshall: You could tell tj the simple truth — I came back here to reconnect with my family. We are not and never will be your family. Nice place you got here. Spare a few minutes for an old friend? Drew. Sorry I’m late. Oh. I was finishing up a presentation for my art class and I just lost track of time. You care about what you’re doing. That is a good thing. Still, I told you how tough professor leckie is. I don’t want to blow this. You won’T. Your professor already told you you were gonna get an “a” because of the wonderful exhibition you put on at ava’s gallery. The presentation’s just icing on the cake.

[ Singsong voice ] My daughter is the star of pcu.

[ Laughs ] If that’s true, then why do I feel like such a loser? Don’t be disingenuous. Prison bars are no impediment to you. Even with peter in solitary, you still got people on the inside that can reach him. Look, peter’s not even on my radar. Alright. So, we both know that his arraignment is today. And, um… peter could be vulnerable during transportation to the courthouse. You giving me a roadmap? What are you guys talking about? I just found out. I’m sorry. I haven’t seen you since before… since before we knew jason was dead. I can’t imagine how difficult this has been for you. I wish peter had died when you pushed him down those stairs.

[ Respirator hissing,monitor beeping ] All those tubes, they — they don’t hurt him? He isn’t in any pain. Watching these sweet little babies probably reminds you of your own loss. Louise will be home someday. I just hope britt is saying the same thing to sasha and brando about their baby. I know how difficult these last few days have been for you. It’ll be all worth it if you’re here to tell us that we can take liam home today. That is why you’re here, right?

I’m sorry. Liam won’t be going home with you today. S-so tomorrow, then? Yeah, or the day after? Let’s start first with the results of liam’s eeg. I’m so sorry. The tests indicate liam has brain damage. Anna was just telling me that peter august, uh, his arraignment’s today. Any chance peter’s gonna confess and be locked up for life? I don’t know. I just was with him in pentonville, and he’s still under the illusion that he and maxie and their baby are gonna be reunited. Oh, my god. They have to find the baby first. Yeah. Okay, peter’s responsible for jason’s death. There’s no way in hell he’s going free.

[ Cellphone rings ] No. Excuse me. I have to take this.

[ Sighs ] Sonny. [ Scoffs ] I can — I can guarantee that peter august has no future. How could you feel like a loser? It can’t be your grades. You said that you were doing well in all of your classes. Has something changed? Kind of. What is it? You know that cam and joss are together. Mm-hmm. So are spencer and esme — since boarding school, I guess. And you’re feeling like the fifth wheel? We’re all supposed to go away for a weekend, and I already know that esme will take every opportunity to remind me I don’t have anybody in my life. Well, of course she will. You want to know why? Because she is threatened by your smarts and your talent. You have to say that. You’re my mom. Does it really bother you that much, not having a boyfriend? I thought I raised you to be independent and not attach your self-esteem onto someone else. You did. And you were my role model. After you and dad split up, you hardly dated anyone. You were all about me and medicine. Mm-hmm. Until you and curtis met up again. W-we’re not talking about me right now, trina. We are now. Oh. For a while, it seemed like you and curtis were getting serious, and now I hardly see you two together. What happened? Now, you better tell me that somebody let you know that I was alive. Well, sam came in about a month ago, said she got a call. Okay. She believed it was from you. She was convinced you were alive, man, and she couldn’t be reasoned out of it. Well, tenacity, that’s just sam’s middle name, right? Well, it paid off, ’cause here you are and not killed in a plane crash. Faked by peter august. So, that guy held you captive the whole time, huh? Not that I knew he was responsible, not until the very end. Peter never showed his face. Peter has been raising all kind of hell around here. I mean, disappearing from G.H. To elude the cops. He almost got nina and her friend killed when he set fire to her friend’s bar. And, of course, killing jason when that tunnel at cassadine island collapsed.

[ Sighs ] I guess it’s true what they say about the devil. That he’s busy? That he can multitask. I know how guilty you felt when you thought you had killed peter. But if he had died, then jason would still be alive. Jake would still have his dad. How’s he doing? He was already grieving franco, and now jason. It’s just more than any kid should ever have to process. Yes, it is. I’m so sorry. It’s infuriating knowing that peter is responsible for both franco and jason’s deaths. Peter’s in custody. And he’s gonna spend the rest of his life rotting in jail. I hope so. I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better. Is there anything you can tell me about liam’s condition that doesn’t breach hipaa? I’m afraid not. Yeah. That’s okay. I’m sure brando and sasha will tell me. I’m gonna stick around here just for moral support. I think that’s a really bad idea. Brain — brain damage? Are you sure? I mean, don’t these tests have a margin of error? You know that liam’s brain was deprived of oxygen during the placental abruption. Yes, and you thought that a cooling treatment would help give his brain a chance to recover from the trauma for 72 hours. Which was up this morning. So, the doctors took an eeg, and that test indicates the levels of liam’s brain activity. And? And the eeg test results indicate that liam has little to no activity in his brain.

Little or no brain activity? W-what does that even mean? Liam has no cognitive function. Or motor function. He has no capacity to think or grow. His life can only be sustained through machinery. I am so, so sorry. I mean, well, can’t we try the cooling therapy again? That should help, right? The outcome would be the same.

[ Voice breaking ] I mean, how do you know if you don’t try? Brando, sasha, the tests show an almost complete lack of brain activity. The cooling blanket won’t change that. But there must be some other therapy that will, right? Yeah. What about — what about surgery? Unfortunately, there’s nothing more that we can do for liam.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Sobs ] Brando and sasha are speaking with dr. Westbourne and dr. Fleming right now. Yeah, I know. And they’re probably gonna want a friend around for support once they get their baby’s prognosis, good news or bad. Maxie, your heart is in the right place. But I’ve worked with patients for enough years to know how they react to news that they receive about themselves or a loved one. After sasha and brando speak with the doctors, they’re gonna want to come here to nicu to be with their baby. Just the three of them. To sit with the news, talk to each other. Celebrate…or not. You understand me? Yeah. You’re saying the best way for me to be a friend is to leave them alone for a while.

[ Monitor beeping ] Thank you. I didn’t know I needed a hug.

[ Chuckles ] I didn’t know how much I needed to see you smile.

[ Chuckles ] We should do this more often. Definitely. Let’s make a date for the next one.

[ Laughs ] I’ll be sure to invite your laugh.

[ Cellphone beeps ] Mm.

[ Sighs ]

[ Chuckles ] It’s emergency. I have to go. Yeah, me too. I’m covering the E.R. Then I’m going your way. They just brought someone in. That was warden alvarez from pentonville. Is this about peter? He doesn’t know what happened, but peter’s on his way to general hospital. Oh. Oh, god, please tell me he’s dying. I don’t know. I got to go to the E.R. So, I’ll keep you posted. Hey. Do you know what happened to peter? My doctors in baltimore told me that I have completely recovered from my stroke. Wow. And that I can resume my normal activities. And you made G.H. Your first stop? Aren’t you fed up with doctors?

[ Scoffs ] Not when my great-nephew is one. What?!

[ Both laugh ] How’s molly? Wonderful. Busy championing the cause of justice and changing the world. I’d expect nothing less from her. Mm. Does curtis know you’re here? No. And I refuse to see him until I know what he’s hiding from me. Thomas jr.? What’s going on with your uncle? So, clearly, you are out of the P.I. Business and you are in the nightclub business. Yeah, brother. I, uh — I got tired of the constant daily stream of lies and — and — and cheating, you know? So, the owner, he just happened to be selling the place and I was ready for a change. I love it. I love it. I mean, this is a nice move. This place screams good times and good music. And happy reunions. So, when am I taking you and jordan out to dinner?

[ Dramatic music plays ]

[ Monitor beeping ]

Hi. Anna! What are you doing here? Uh, visiting sasha and brando. What about you? Are you here for your phlebotomy treatment? Maxie, peter’s been brought here from pentonville. He’s in the E.R. What did the triage nurse say? Apparently, a guard found peter unresponsive in his cell. He was transferred to the prison infirmary. When he couldn’t revived, the warden called 911. But there’s — there’s no sign of trauma, there’s no injuries, there’s no blood anywhere on his body. Well, what do we got? Bp’s 80 over 40, pulse is 42, respiration’s 4 to 6 and shallow. Alright, let’s start him on a norepinephrine drip and run a toxicology panel. Tell me he’s gonna die. That his life will be cut short like franco’s and these next few breaths will be his last. I don’t know what happened to peter. Why should I? Uh, maybe because you and selina wu had your heads close together earlier. And then she approached me and said something cryptic about protecting family. The next thing I know, peter’s on the way to the hospital. Come on. Even anna thinks you know something. How could i possibly know? Please don’t do that. Well… I’m your wife. I deserve to know if you sought justice for jason. Alright. You deserve to know the truth. You’re right.

[ Whispers ] I put out the hit on peter. Curtis and I have jobs that keep us busy. So that’s why we’re taking things slow. Because of your jobs? Or because of me? Look, I know I was snarky when I learned that you were with curtis while still married to my dad. But I’m over it now, mom. Thank you, sweetheart. Uh, but that’s not the reason why curtis and i are taking things slow. He has a lot going on right now. Um…plus, the savoy. More important than you? Oh, my god. Is he seeing someone else? Did he go back to jordan? N-neither. And you know this how? I know this because curtis told me. So, what is it? Hello, dr. Robinson. I don’t know what to be sorry about more — your split with jordan or her health issues.

[ Sighs ] Jordan will be fine. It’s just gonna take some time. A lot of time, unfortunately. Any chance of you guys making your marriage work when she comes back to port charles? I’ll admit, seeing her so ill in that hospital reminded me that I still — I’m still in love with her. Mm. But I’m not willing to live with those secrets anymore. So, I made a break. Started over. I’m trying to start over, myself. Easier said than done, right? Yeah. Sam and I were over for months when peter faked that plane crash, and then I was held captive for two years after that. And yet as soon as I got hold of the guard’s phone, sam was the only person that I thought to call. That makes sense, man. She’s the mother of your child. She’s always gonna be important to you. She seems happy, and… that’s all I want for her. Well, just so you know… she never gave up fighting for you. She didn’T. She didn’T. She, uh, came all the way to crete, only went home because they told her peter shot me and they couldn’t recover my body. Peter august again. Staged the whole thing. Wow. He also took liesl obrecht prisoner, and britt needed help to rescue her mom, so she turned to jason. It just kills me the way things turned out. Now…jason is dead and I am here trying to figure out how to live my life in a way that honors him. I’m not sure what you mean. Uncle curtis is fine. Uh-huh. Then why is it that every phone conversation I have with him, I can tell he’s hiding something from me? Have you asked him? Of course. All I get is the classic curtis ashford dodge. Is it jordan? Has she taken a turn for the worse? No, no. Mom is doing okay. Molly and I visit her at least once a week. This has nothing to do with her. Ah! Then you do know something about your uncle.

[ Sighs ] No, don’t you look away from me. Come clean and tell me how I can help my nephew. There is nothing that you can do for our baby? Nothing? We could wait and see, right? Give liam a chance to improve on his own. Sasha… liam’s brain doesn’t have the capacity to improve. He suffered a significant trauma that ensures he will not be able to breathe without help or eat without a feeding tube. Liam will likely suffer from seizures. Look, all this means is that liam will need lots and lots of care. And we can handle that. Whatever the challenges. With a lot of love, a lot of hard work, w-we can give liam a better life. Yeah. Okay? I think we need to take some deep breaths and wrap your heads around this… and be realistic. I think we are. You still have some important decisions to make for your son.

the only decision brando and I have to make is when we’re gonna take our baby home. There is — why don’t you two take some time to process what you’ve learned? We have two specialists from other hospitals confirming the eeg results just to be double sure. But just know right now your baby is getting the best possible care. And may we speak to these other specialists? Of course. And we also have counselors and social workers on hand for help. I think dr. Collins is available. We could have him come in — no, no, I-I don’t need to speak to dr. Collins. I need to see my son. So do I. Of course. I know. I know I should have told them what needs to happen next with their son, but I-I just couldn’T. Not yet. You heard that peter’s been brought in? Yeah. How is he? Do you know? What’s happening? How is he? This isn’t some trick, is it? Where he’s faking being sick and then uses everyone’s distraction to escape? It’s not a trick. Peter’s in critical condition. I managed to stabilize him, but all I can do now is wait for his test results. Okay, I just saw him at pentonville, and he was fine. He was getting ready for his arraignment, given a preliminary examination, it’s very possible that peter ingested a toxin. What, like he did to chase? Someone poisoned him? It’s possible. Again, it’s too soon to say for sure. May I speak to you for a second? Whoa. Peter was terrified someone would get to him in prison. Maxie: I need to talk to you about peter. I just came from seeing that bastard. What’s on your mind? Okay, well, I want to know what you’re gonna do about him. I want him dead. Looks like he was right. Thank you for telling me the truth. And thank you for doing what you did. So many people are gonna be grateful, especially maxie and drew. That son of a bitch has to die. I think justice would be better served if peter suffered a slow and painful death. That’s actually what I promised peter. I just didn’t know, like, when or how it was gonna happen. Well, I know who you are now, and why you were asking all those questions about curtis.

[ Chuckling ] Well, I, uh… I apologize for being so — uh, what should I say? — Disingenuous about my identity. I was trying to find out how curtis might react to my return. And I heard it did not go very well for you. No, no, it, uh — it didn’T. Uh, not that I’m blaming curtis. As well you shouldn’T. Mom, what’s going on? Oh, forgive me for not introducing myself. I’m marshall. Marshall ashford. Curtis’ father. I’ve been where you are, my friend. Yes, you have. You’ve lost your brother, as well. That grief stays with you, so if there’s anything I can do to make it easier for you, man, you let me know. I will. Thanks, man. Now, other than jordan, how’s everything going? I saw you studying your tablet earlier. Looked like it was delivering some bad news. Yeah, I was trying to look into someone’s background and I kept coming up empty. Can you tell me what it’s about? Maybe I can help. It’s about someone that I thought was dead, and it turns out he’s alive. It happens.

[ Chuckles ] Unlike with you… I wasn’t happy to see this person. Who is it? My father.

It must be really hard to stay professional while you’re treating peter. It’s not easy. But I have a job to do, no matter who the patient is. Even if that patient killed your husband? Normally, the hospital wouldn’t let me within 100 feet of him. But we’re understaffed and everyone else is with other patients. I’m sorry, elizabeth. I shouldn’t have brought it up. All you did was say it out loud. I always think about what peter did to franco… and then compounded the grief and misery by framing jason for his murder. Jason. Another person peter killed. Leaving jake without a dad. Jake must be devastated.

[ Scoffs ] He’s a mess, seesawing back and forth between grief and anger. I’m getting him counseling, but it’s not fair that my kid should have to struggle with all this loss while peter’s benefiting from the very best medical care. I’m so sorry, elizabeth. But you understand, right? Because of peter, your daughter’s missing. Doesn’t at least part of you want to let peter die? Peter’s still alive. There’s nothing I can do to treat him until I confirm he’s been poisoned. Let’s hope that takes a really long time. So, I just spoke to warden alvarez, and, uh, he’s treating peter’s cell as a crime scene. So, if someone tried to kill him, they’re going to identify that person. Oh, so they can award them the medal of freedom? I just wonder how long jason was alive under that collapsed tunnel, just — just thinking, like… when he’s gonna die. I don’t want to think about that. No, I know. I know. And that’s why you concentrate on your work and all that, but sometimes that doesn’t work. And I know that, uh… …peter’s death doesn’t make up for all the pain that he’s caused you. The pain that he’s caused us. I assume this lovely young lady is your daughter. And I’m getting the feeling that my mom doesn’t like you. Maybe you should go. Yeah, that’s my daughter. She’s very opinionated. It’s okay. I get that reaction a lot. You see, I left curtis and his brother and his mom when curtis was a very, very young child. Um, and they thought I was dead. That’s terrible. I know. Which is why curtis’ and my reunion wasn’t a happy one. Gee, I wonder why.

[ Chuckles ] Yes, uh, I’m still hoping I can find my way into curtis’ good graces.

[ Sighs ] Well, maybe don’t rush things. Give him time to process the fact that you are alive. Let him come to you. That is very sound advice, dr. Robinson. Although, no one’s ever accused me of listening to sound reasoning. Pleasure meeting you. Good to see you again, dr. Robinson. Mm. Yes, we have to stop bumping into each other like this.

[ Chuckles ] So, that’s why your relationship with curtis has been back-burnered. He’s dealing with his dead dad suddenly coming back to life. I could give him a few pointers. Do me a favor and don’T. I understand why curtis is uncomfortable being around his father… but why are you? My father was gone for decades. Suddenly shows up in port charles asking questions about me. And then when dear old dad finally shows his face, he says that he wants to be a family. Now, that burns me up. There’s absolutely no way that he can make up for the lives that he changed when he left. Did he mention where he’s been all these years? Not even a word. So I’ve been trying to find answers. But unfortunately, none of the search engines that I’ve been using have been helpful. There’s plenty of marshall ashfords… huh. …But none that fit his description. How would someone go about not having any information online? You think he’s been using a different name all this time? That’s what I’m thinking. Can I offer a suggestion? I think you’re too close to this. And when that happens, sometimes you don’t see things clearly. Why don’t you let me help you research your father? Alright, curtis is dealing with something. I knew it. He didn’t tell you because he was afraid it would upset you. Upset me how? Like give me another stroke? The thought crossed his mind. It’s that bad, then? No, it’s not bad. It… it’s just unexpected. Well, what is it?! It’s not my story to tell, auntie. I know you just want to help curtis, but you’re gonna have to talk to him about this yourself. And what if he won’t tell me? Then it means he isn’t ready to. And you’ll have to back off. Which — which I know is not part of your dna. My job, thomas jr., Is to support curtis with whatever he’s going through. It started when he was a little boy, and it hasn’t ended just because he’s a grown man. That is why we love you so much. And I love you, too, for too many reasons to count.

[ Chuckles ] And one of them is your loyalty to curtis and not giving up his secret.

[ Chuckles ] I thought you’d be upset with me. Just the opposite. True loyalty is a very rare gift indeed. I saw brando and sasha on their way to the nicu. I assume the news isn’t good about their baby. No. Who better to deliver it than the “britch”? No one calls you that anymore. I feel so badly for brando and sasha. And I think I just made things worse. How? Because I wouldn’t let dr. Fleming speak. I could tell they weren’t ready to hear just how limited liam’s options are. But I’m afraid that withholding that information, I-I gave them false hope. Which only makes things worse for them. Brando: Liam can’t be brain-damaged. I mean, you take all the tubes away, and he looks like any other normal, healthy boy, just like he could wake up any second. He will wake up. He’s our strong-willed warrior.

[ Respirator hissing, monitor beeping ] Sasha… hmm? Never mind. It’s not important.

I thank you for your offer, but you just got back to port charles, okay? You’ve got to figure out what your next move is. And I know you want to spend time with your daughter. You and scout got a lot of catching up to do. Mm. She didn’t remember me when she saw me. But I-I am gonna make sure — I’m gonna make sure that we get to know each other again, believe me. That’s what I’m saying. Priorities. Yeah, but spending time with my daughter’s not gonna take up every second of every day.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. I’ll think about it. But in the meantime, go have fun with your little girl. Yeah, it’s gonna be a pleasure, let me tell you. Thinking about scout just kept me going while I was in that cell all that time. You know, she wasn’t with me physically, but she was still with me. She was here… and right here. Alright, man. Great to see you. Good to see you, brother. Talk soon. Marshall ashford makes me uncomfortable because when he first arrived to port charles, he was asking questions about curtis without revealing his true identity. And curtis was angry that he was sneaking around behind his back. And now, after learning that his father has been alive for all these years, he just feels like his life has been upended. Don’t blame him. Curtis’ father pretended to be dead much longer than yours. And your dad only did it to keep you safe from cyrus renault. Maybe mr. Ashford had a good reason, too. Well, if he did, he’s not saying what it was. And as much as dad was away because of work, he was a huge part of my life. He was always there when I needed him. He sure was. But curtis… wow. He didn’t even have a father growing up. Curtis byron ashford!

[ Laughs ] Come here and give me a hug. Aunt stella! Oh, my goodness. You’re the second greatest surprise of the day. You mean I’m not the first? Okay, so how you feeling? You feeling okay? I’m healthy and strong and ready to hear what’s going on with you. No more secrets. You hear me?

[ Dramatic music plays ] You don’t have to stay and hold my hand. I’m sure you have better things to do.

[ Chuckles ] This is where I’m supposed to be right now. You think I haven’t been where you are? Forced to give parents bad news? I know when they can take it and when they can’T. And never in a million years did I think I’d be saying this to you, dr. Westbourne, but you did right by brando and sasha. You have nothing to regret. You showed that young couple grace. And right now, they need all the grace they can get.

[ Respirator hissing, monitor beeping ] There were a million reasons to eliminate peter, even before what he did to jason. This is for all of them. And jason. He will be avenged. Thank you. We — we just have to wait for anna to confirm… …that peter is gone for good.

[ Respirator hissing, monitor beeping ] I need to check on mr. August. I mean, not so long ago, you didn’t know whether you’d killed peter. Now you’re trying to save his life. The irony isn’t entirely lost on me. No. The best thi ng that could happenfor everyone is that peter dies. Then we would all be free of him. Oh, boy. I don’t disagree. I mean, I don’T. Th-there’s so many of us who’ve been harmed by him. And then the ones who didn’t survive him. The ones whose lives peter stole. For franco. For jason. Let him die.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Roman: Okay. Before we go in there, I want to make sure you’re up for this.

Kate: What choice do I have? I’m his next of kin.

Roman: Okay. I can talk to rafe, figure out another way to do the id.

Kate: No, no, no. No. I have to do this, and I have to remember that, if it’s philip’s leg, that that could be a clue to finding him. Id him alive.

Roman: Okay

[Soft music]

Rafe: Thanks for coming in.

Roman: You need a minute?

Kate: No, I’m ready.

[Monitor beeping]

Brady: So come on. Any news on philip?

Belle: No, not since last night.

Brady: Belle, he’s telling me they found his leg, but they haven’t found him?

Belle: Not yet.

Brady: He’s gotta be alive. This–I’m not worried about being arrested. I’m worried about him. I’m worried about chloe. Have you seen her? She’s a wreck about…

Belle: Dad.

Brady: What are you–how’d you–did you get released already?

John: Yeah, I was. How you doing, son?

Brady: I’d be doing a hell of a lot better if I was out of this bed, dad. I need to go help with the search for philip, ’cause the cops don’t know what the hell they’re doing.

John: All right, I’ll head on down to the station. See if I can move this investigation along a little.

Brady: Dad. Dad, you don’t have to do–

Belle: No, I can call shawn.

John: I need to help!

Brady: Dad, I know you want to, but listen. I’m okay. Marlena’s not, all right? She is possessed, and she’s dangerous, and she’s still out there, so you need to go find her.

Ben: Good morning.

Ciara: Good morning. Why didn’t you wake me?

Ben: Because you were sleeping so peacefully. It’s not like we have anywhere else to be.

Ciara: Where’s marlena?

Ben: She went for a walk. She said she was feeling a little out of sorts, since that gabriel guy showed up yesterday. I think he spooked her.

Ciara: Really? Because I thought that he was really nice. He was very concerned for our baby, and quite frankly, ben, I am too.

Ben: Ciara.

Ciara: I know you said that i looked like I was sleeping peacefully, but I was not. I was actually having some pretty bad dreams.

Ben: About what?

Ciara: Everything, including this place. Let’s just get the hell out of here, ben, please. Please just take me home.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Kate: Yeah, yes. It’s his–it’s philip’s leg.

Rafe: You sure?

Kate: Yes. He got it a couple of years ago. It’s a new one, and I recognize it.

Rafe: Okay. We need to verify it officially if possible.

Kate: I brought the serial number I got.

Rafe: Oh, great.

[Soft music]

That’s a match.

Kate: I knew this was gonna happen, but still, it’s a shock.

Roman: Kate, katie, I am so sorry.

Kate: No, no.

Roman: Katie.

Kate: I don’t want to be comforted, roman. I don’t want to be consoled. Okay, I just want you to arrest brady black for this! For doing this to my son.

John: Yeah, I’m worried about doc, but I’m not leaving you, kid, not when you’re facing potential criminal charges here.

Brady: I know it looks bad, but, dad, I didn’t hurt philip.

John: I know you didn’t, but I’m still not walking out on you. Not with all these injuries.

Brady: It’s okay, it’s okay. I actually have a fairly decent lawyer on the case, so we are–the best lawyer on the case. You don’t have to stay with me. You need to focus your energy on marlena.

Belle: Yeah, I agree, dad. I mean there’s really nobody better suited to fight the devil than you. You’ve already kicked his butt once and saved mom.

Brady: There’s no doubt you’re gonna do it again.

John: Gotta find her first.

Brady: Then do it. Go find her.

John: Fine, I love you, kids.

Belle: We love you, too, dad.

John: Take care of yourself.

Brady: Find her.

Marlena: Good morning.

Ciara: Oh, goodness. I did not hear you come in.

Marlena: Oh, sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you. I did happen to overhear you talking about wanting to go home.

Ciara: Yes, well, you can understand that, right?

Marlena: I do, of course. All the way out here, and you’re protecting me from an abusive husband. That’s a lot to take on.

Ciara: Yes. It is, but don’t get me wrong. Ben and I do want to help you.

Ben: And we will.

Ciara: But even you can admit that this can’t go on indefinitely.

Marlena: What can’t?

Ciara: Well, dr. Evans, I’m expecting a child, and we are in a cabin in the middle of the woods. I can’t do this forever. I need to go home.

Marlena: No, you can’T. I won’t let you.

Ciara: You won’t let me? Serena: It’s my 3:10

Kate: Did you not hear me? I want brady arrested for murder.

Rafe: I know how difficult this is, but I don’t have enough for an arrest. I…

Kate: Brady was found drunk covered in philip’s blood with a knife that had his bloody fingerprints all over it, philip’s phone with a horrific text from brady. What more do you need, rafe?

Rafe: I understand your frustration, but–

Kate: Oh, my god! The district attorney was going to arrest him yesterday, just for that evidence, and now, we have this?

Roman: Look, kate. Let’s let rafe handle this, all right? Let me take you–

Kate: No, I’m not going anywhere until the police commissioner does his job and puts brady in a cage, where he deserves to be, for killing my son!

[Sobbing] Oh, god.

[Monitor beeping]

Brady: Dad’s gonna find marlena.

Belle: I know, I’m just–

Brady: What?

Belle: I’m just worried sick. This is the devil we’re talking about.

Brady: No, no, hey. He doesn’t stand a chance. Not against the love that those two share, right?

Belle: All right, listen. Let’s just get back to your case. I need you to take me through everything again, from the moment you left here.

Brady: I went to the pub to get dad some takeout. Ran into chloe. We talked for a few minutes outside, and then she left.

[Sighs] Then it’s a blank.

Belle: So you don’t remember going into the pub and ordering a drink?

Brady: No.

Belle: Is it possible that you did? What, what is it?

Brady: I did order a drink recently. It was at a bar outside of town on thanksgiving, all right? Hey, hey, I didn’t drink it. I even called maggie and had her come and meet me there.

Belle: So why’d you order it in the first place?

Brady: A couple reasons, belle, okay? Kristen had just tried to kidnap our daughter rachel, and I was struggling with my feelings for chloe.

Belle: So maggie showed up.

Brady: She showed up. I blabbered on a bit. I offered to drive her home, and then she offered to take us both to a meeting. I agreed, and that’s when you called and told me dad was in the hospital.

Belle: Yeah, you know, brady, when they found you passed out at the river, your blood alcohol level was three times–

Brady: I’m aware of that.

Belle: The legal limit. There has to be an explanation for that.

Brady: Well, I don’t have one–I don’t know.

Belle: Okay, you were drunk. There has to be an explanation. We just have to figure out what it is.

Susan: John black. Hey, as I live and breathe, praise the lord, you’re living and breathing, too.

John: Hey, susan. You getting out of here?

Susan: Oh, yeah, sure I am. I’m just waiting on elvis to come pick me up.

John: Oh, well I’m glad that you’re all right, and, listen, for the record, I just want to tell you how awful I feel about what you went through.

Susan: Oh, you mean having to eat the food here at the hospital? I mean, I really didn’t mind. I mean, sometimes I’d ask for an extra pudding cup.

John: No, I was talking about when you stabbed yourself.

Susan: Oh. Hey, that wasn’t your fault. No, I mean, your beloved wife and my dear best friend dr. Marlena evans was possessed by the devil. I mean, john, I still have nightmares about that. You and me locked up in the crypt, and then her coming in with the dagger and telling me that I had to kill you, or that she was gonna kill my only child. And really I was hoping that satan would take any human sacrifice. You know, any old human would do, and, well, that’s when I turned that big, old knife, and I stabbed myself.

John: Yeah, well, that was incredibly selfless.

Susan: Well, john, I just did what I had to do. You know, and don’t you worry. I know that dr. Marlena evans had nothing to do with it.

John: Yeah, well, thanks for saying that anyway.

Susan: By golly, I mean it. I mean it, ’cause I know that she would never deliberately hurt you, or me–

John: Yeah.

Susan: Or my son, or she would never, ever–and certainly never, ever hurt an innocent little baby.

John: What are you talking about, susan? Baby, what baby?

Marlena: You can’t abandon me; I need you.

Ciara: Marlena, please hear me out.

Marlena: No, no, but if you go, I’d be terrified to be alone.

Ciara: Well, I’m terrified, too; I am pregnant with my first child, and I have a very important checkup scheduled for this week.

Marlena: I told you I would take care of you.

Ciara: Yes, but you’re a psychiatrist.

Marlena: I’m also a doctor. Well, I’ve delivered lots of babies. Plus, you’re not even near your due date.

Ciara: Yes, that’s right, but I’m scheduled for a sonogram, and we don’t even have that kind of equipment here.

Ben: Yeah, we really do need to go to the hospital, dr. Evans. We need to see kayla and just make sure everything is progressing the way it should.

Marlena: Everything’s fine. I mean, look, you’re a healthy young woman, but if you’re feeling concerned, I can grab my bag and check your vitals.

Ciara: Thank you. That’s all right–besides, we’re getting off track here.

Marlena: No, you know what? I promised you that I would never let anything happen to your baby, and you promised you would protect me, so I’m doing my part. So are you now saying that you’re not gonna do what you promised? As a professional bull-rider

Brady: Hey, I swear, I swear I don’t remember drinking.

Belle: All right, I hear you. Then let’s just stay with what you do remember, okay? You said you were about to go into the pub and pick up some food for dad.

Brady: Yes.

Belle: But you don’t remember going inside?

Brady: No, but I must’ve, right?

Belle: All right. Well, let’s just check your credit card statement. See if there are any charges from the pub that day, and that’ll tell us.

Brady: That’s a good idea.

Kate: I’m talking like my son is dead, and actually, I don’t believe that. I don’T. I just need some accountability, you know, some justice, rafe.

Roman: Kate, we know, okay? We all want that, and everybody’s hoping and praying that philip is alive and making his way back home, right?

Kate: Yeah.

Roman: All right.

Kate: But even if he does survive, this was a savage, savage attack, and brady needs to pay for that.

Rafe: Okay, kate, you have my word that I will conduct a thorough investigation, and I will keep you posted every step of the way.

Roman: All right. We appreciate that, rafe. Thank you, okay? All right, let’s go.

Kate: Okay.

[Tense music]

Chloe: Hey.

Roman: Chloe, what brings you down here?

Chloe: I had to come and find out if there was any news–

Roman: The leg belongs to philip.

Chloe: Oh, kate, I’m so–

John: So you think the devil is after ben and ciara’s baby?

Susan: John, I know you’re aware of my gift, my psychic ability. It was–that I had a premonition that made me come back here, to salem. See, I had this vision that ben weston’s little seed was flowering in ciara’s womb.

John: So you knew she was pregnant?

Susan: And a dark and dangerous force was threatening that unborn baby, and that’s when I jumped into my car, and I floored it all the way from memphis to the airport–

John: Oh, okay, okay, so you got to their place, and then–

Susan: Mm-hmm, okay, then ciara let me lay hands on her belly, and oh, lordy. Oh, lordy, I fainted. I fainted dead away because I was right. I was right that that baby was in grave danger. I just didn’t know where the heck it was coming from, and so I tried it again, john. I did, I tried it again. I laid my hands on her, and I was making headway. I was, and then my concentration got broken by none other than dr. Marlena evans.

John: Wait, wait, wait. She was there?

Susan: Well, she was there because I fainted, and ben went to go get her, because he wanted her to help me. But she couldn’t help me, because she wasn’t her. She was him.

John: Okay, fine, and then what happened?

Susan: Oh, and then she whisked me out of there. She whisked me out of there, and that is when I knew something was off. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. I mean, whew, she was being so bossy to me, telling me that I had to get back to memphis, and she was being a bully. And we all know what you have to do with a bully; you have to to stand up to a bully–

John: Absolutely, so did you–

Susan: I sure did stand up to that bully, I did, john. I did, and I told her that I wasn’t going anywhere until I found out who wanted to harm that little baby.

John: All right, and then what did she do?

Susan: Oh, she grabbed my wrist. She grabbed my wrist. Oh, john black. I have never, never in my life felt that kind of jolt of electricity. And that is when I knew that she was the danger.

John: That’s because the devil had her.

Susan: Yeah, and then I tried to tell someone, but before I could, she knocked me out, and she turned me into that little pussycat, and then she threw me in the crypt. I mean, it is a miracle that you and I survived, because, john, john, the devil is still out there, and it’s got possession of dr. Marlena evans’ body, and he needs to be stopped at–

John: But susan–

Susan: All costs!

John: Susan, do you have any idea what the devil wants with ben and ciara’s baby?

Susan: I don’t know his exact intentions. I don’t, john, but what I can tell you is that they are evil. Evil, evil.

Marlena: Look, if you break your promise, I could die.

Ben: No, we would never let that happen, dr. Evans.

Ciara: No, of course not. We are going to keep you safe, I promise; you can stay here for as long as you want, and no one is going to find you.

Marlena: That man gabriel found me.

Ciara: What do you mean he found you?

Marlena: I mean, he found this cabin in the woods, so if he could find it, then john could find it.

Ciara: No, not if we don’t say anything to anyone. We won’t say a word, I swear.

Marlena: You don’t get this. I’m fighting for my life here. Look, please, I’m begging you. Please, just stay a little while longer.

Ben: Dr. Evans, I really want to go to ciara’s sonogram appointment, but if you are scared to stay alone, then I guess ciara could go to her appointment on her own. I could stay here.

Marlena: No. I need you both to stay here.

Ciara: Ben, can I talk to you alone for a minute?

Ciara: You’re not coming to my sonogram appointment, ben? Really, what the hell?

Ben: Baby, try to understand that, yes, dr. Evans is my therapist, but she’s also my friend, and she needs me.

Ciara: I’m your wife. I’m the mother of your unborn child. I need you, too, ben, and I want to go home.

Ben: Okay, well, we can’t just abandon her here, not when she’s in fear of her life.

Ciara: I understand that she helped you, and you feel obligated to help her in return, but she’s taking advantage of your kindness, ben. She is manipulating you. Something is off with her, okay? I don’t like the way she’s been acting; I said it when we first got here. I don’t like how focused she is on our child.

Ben: She is concerned, ciara.

Ciara: She’s too concerned, ben. She’s telling me that she will help me and that I don’t need kayla, or a real hospital, or a real checkup.

Ben: Because she’s trying to convince us not to leave her here alone.

Ciara: And it is working, because you told me that I could go while you stayed here.

Ben: I really don’t want that.

Ciara: I don’t want that either, but why would she want me to stay, ben? She would be very safe with you here, but me, why? I don’t get it. It doesn’t make sense. I don’t get her, and quite frankly, she’s really starting to creep me out.

Marlena: Everything okay out here?

Susan: Hey, john, I am so sorry that I didn’t tell you about the baby when we were locked up, but I was just so frazzled.

John: No worries, susan. Once I find doc, I’m gonna get this whole thing figured out.

Susan: Hey, hey, hey. You be careful, john black, ’cause that devil still wants you dead, and I’m not gonna be there to save you this time.

Shawn: Susan, john.

John: Hey.

Shawn: Hey, I’m going to talk to brady; you want to join me?

John: I can’t; I gotta go.

Shawn: Everything okay?

John: Well, susan has reason to believe that the devil wants ben and ciara’s baby.

Susan: And I know you’re a skeptic, detective shawn brady, but all my life, people have not believed in my vision, and this–

Shawn: Susan, I don’t doubt you. In fact, I think you’re right.

Belle: Okay. I’m in your account, and here are all your charges. Oh, bingo. Brady pub last friday, $72.

Brady: So I did go in. So what did I order?

Belle: Well, I can’t tell from this, but I can talk to roman and see if I can get an itemized receipt.

Brady: Yeah, let’s hope it’s just chowder for dad.

Belle: Yeah, $72 is a lot of chowder for one person.

Kate: You have been playing brady and philip off each other for months.

Chloe: That’s not true.

Roman: Kate, we’re leaving.

Kate: Oh, no, no, no. I’m not halfway–

Roman: Kate!

Kate: Done with you.

Roman: Kate, calm down. You’re gonna get yourself arrested for assault.

Kate: I really don’t care. You love men’s attention, don’t you? Their worry, you know, their concern for you, watching them fight over you.

Chloe: Actually, I hate that.

Kate: You know what? I just can’t understand why they don’t see you for what you actually are, a shallow, dim-witted twit.

Chloe: Kate, I know that you’re upset about philip, but please–

Kate: You know, I was so thrilled when philip told me that you had left, you know, that you had left, and that he was rid of you, the woman who has only hurt him and caused him pain. You said you were faithful to him, and the whole time you were sleeping with someone else.

Chloe: No, that’s not true. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Kate: Oh, please. Lucas saw you and brady walk into the salem inn, and you know the sad part is philip tried to defend you because he didn’t want to face the fact that you had just left him and jumped into bed with brady.

Chloe: That did not happen. Brady was just helping me with my bags.

Kate: Oh, I’m sure he was, because a lot of men have handled your bags, haven’t they?

Chloe: Okay. I am not doing this.

Kate: Oh, my god. You are nothing but a cheat, and you’ve always been a cheat. You cheated on lucas with daniel, you cheated on philip with brady.

Chloe: That did not happen. I swear.

Kate: It’s just all a game with you, isn’t it, really? I mean, you get men to chase you and become obsessed with you, and then you fuel their jealousies and their rivals. And you end up in the center of all of that drama, and you think that maybe it’s because you’re wanted. You’re wanted or that it matters. But it’s all a game, chloe. It’s a game. It is a dangerous game because it had real consequences for real people. You toyed with my son for years, but this game ends now. Now, and if philip ends up dead, you are just as guilty of murder as brady. Better skin from your body wash?

Kate: So you better pray. You better pray that philip is alive, that brady didn’t plunge that knife into his chest and then throw his body into the river.

Chloe: Please stop.

Kate: You better pray for that.

Roman: Kate, we’re done.

Kate: You are pathetic.

Roman: We’re done.

Kate: You’re pathetic, and I’m going to make you pay. I’m gonna make you pay!

Rafe: What the hell’s going on in here? You okay?

Chloe: No, no, I’m not okay.

Susan: Oh.

John: Easy.

Susan: You believe me that the devil wanted ben and ciara’s baby?

Shawn: Yeah, yeah, I do. On halloween, belle and I went to dinner with ben and ciara, and they told us that they wanted to have a baby, but they were concerned about the mental health issues that ben’s had in his family. So they reached out to marlena, for guidance.

John: Yeah, and what’d she tell them?

Shawn: She said to go for it.

John: Of course.

Shawn: But then she started texting them. Like, following up, to see if they were still trying.

John: That’s too strange.

Shawn: Yeah. Belle thought so, too, that it was pushy, and it was intrusive, and it didn’t sound like her mother.

Susan: Yeah, because it wasn’t her mother! It was satan. Yes, and you know what that means, don’t you? That the devil was obsessed with that baby before ben and ciara even conceived it.

Ciara: No, everything is not okay. Ben made his choice, and it’s not me.

Ben: Ciara.

Marlena: No, wait, wait, wait, wait, ben, come on. Come on. Look, her hormones are raging. Give her a little time to cool down.

Ben: She’s really upset with me right now.

Marlena: I know, but she’s got no reason to be angry with you. I’m sorry that I’ve driven a wedge between the two of you.

Ben: Don’t, it’s okay. It’s not your fault.

Marlena: Well, I’m not sure ciara knows that.

Ben: Like you said, she’s very hormonal, and I mean, dr. Evans, she knows how much you have done for the both of us. She knows that you are the reason that allowed me to conquer my fears and marry her in the first place. And now we have conceived this child, and we are so excited to bring it into this world.

Marlena: I’m so glad to hear that.

Ben: I’m gonna talk to ciara. I’m gonna make her understand.

Marlena: Yes, but you’ll stay, right? And both of you will stay?

Ben: We’ll stay. I promise you, I promise.

John: And I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out why the hell the devil would come back to salem after all this time.

Shawn: And now we know.

Susan: Yeah, yeah, he wants ben and ciara’s baby.

John: I gotta talk to them.

Shawn: I’ll go with you.

John: What about brady?

Shawn: That can wait. We’re talking about my pregnant sister here.

Susan: Oh, please.

Ciara: [Sighs]

Trelegy for copd.

Rafe: Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea.

Chloe: I wanted to see what I did.

Rafe: What you did?

Chloe: Yeah, kate’s right. I mean whatever happened to philip, I’m partly responsible.

Rafe: No, no, no. You cannot blame yourself for something brady might have done.

Chloe: He swears he didn’t do it.

Rafe: No? Do you believe him?

[Cell phone rings]

[Phone line trilling]

[Cell phone beeps]

Chloe: How is brady?

Rafe: Why didn’t you answer it?

Chloe: Because honestly, I don’t know what to say to him.

[Cell phone beeps]

Brady: Hey, chloe, it’s me. I just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you. I feel terrible. I did not do this. I need to find a way to prove it to you. I’m searching my mind for some kind of explanation. I just haven’t found one yet, but I just want you to know I am thinking, and thinking, and racking my brain as to how this could have happened. I just don’t have any answers yet, but as soon as I figure this out, I’ll let you know. And I just–please. I just need you to believe in me. Okay.

[Cell phone beeps]

Roman: What can I get you?

Kate: Nothing.

Roman: How about we just sit together?

Kate: No, I think I need to be alone for a little while. You know, I just need to go lie down.

Roman: Okay. Well, I’ll be right here if you need me.

Kate: I do need you. I really need you.

[Soft music]

Belle: Oh, roman. I’m so glad you’re here.

Roman: What’s up?

Belle: I need a favor, and it has to do with brady.

Roman: Belle.

Belle: No. It’s strictly professional. Listen, trask is trying to railroad him, and I decided to represent him. And anyway, as you know, this whole case hinges on this idea that brady was so drunk that he lost control and attacked philip.

Roman: And you’re saying that’s not what happened?

Belle: I’m trying to find out. Anyway, brady’s credit card statement said that he spent $72 here the day philip disappeared, and I was hoping that you might have an itemized receipt showing what he bought.

Roman: Well, okay. I’ll be right back.

John: Ah, great.

Shawn: I know where the key’s at.

John: Nice.

Shawn: Ben, ciara?

John: [Grunts]

>>Shawn: Food is spoiled; they must have been gone for a while.

John: Yeah. Left in a hurry, too. When’s the last time you spoke to your sister?

Shawn: Thanksgiving.

John: So where could they have shot off to?

Shawn: I don’t know. I’m gonna call her.

[Phone line trilling] Come on, ciara, pick up.

[Tense music]

Ben: Ciara?

Where the hell is she? I thought I was managing my moderate

[Monitor beeping]

Brady: Damn it, why can’t i remember what happened?

Chloe: Yeah. I should get going. Philip’s expecting me, so bye, brady.

Brady: Bye. Chloe. We always have the brady pub.

[Cell phone rings] How’s my tater tot doing? Hi, buddy. What? You’re kidding me. You won the championship game? Are you serious? No, I’m not surprised, given what a great player you are. Hey, do me a favor. Have your mother send me a video, okay? Tate called. Completely forgot about that. Oh, buddy. I wish I could have been there to see you score that winning goal. What–you know I’m proud of you, right? Good, good, listen. Hey, let’s video chat over the weekend, is that good? All right. I love you, too, buddy.

Kate: Damn you, brady.

Brady: Kate, kate–

Kate: Mark my words. If my son is a dead man, you’re a dead man, too.

[Tense music]

Roman: Got it. $72, the night in question.

Belle: Okay. What did brady buy?

Roman: Six shots of whiskey.

Shawn: Come on, sis. Pick up the damn phone.

Ciara: Hello?

Shawn: Ciara, oh, my god. Wait, where are you?

Ciara: I’m right here. Hey.

Ben: Ciara’s not here. She must have gone out the back way.

Marlena: We can’t let her go back to salem.

Ben: Dr. Evans, I am sorry. I knew she was upset, but i didn’t think she’d run away.

Marlena: If she goes back, john will get the truth out of her, and then he will come here, and he will kill me. We’ve gotta stop her.

Ridge: Taylor. Is that really you? Hi!

Taylor: Yes, it is really me, ridge. Your ex-wife has returned. Dr. Taylor hayes in the flesh.

Thomas: Thanks for coming back. I wanted to make sure we were on the same page about couture.

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Thomas: Uh, you’re not upset that I made you come all the way back here ’cause you were at home, are you? ‘Cause, look, I understand we could’ve done this over the phone, but the reality is it’s better to see these things in person, and you- you’re– you’re not paying attention to a thing I’m saying, are you?

Steffy: No. What?

Thomas: You were at home. You were with finn. And y’all are in the honeymoon phase.

Steffy: No! No. Finn wasn’t there. Someone else was. You’ll never guess who.

Brooke: Thanks for stopping by.

Katie: Oh, of course. I was stuck for two hours on the freeway coming from downtown, and we still did not settle the advertising deal.

Brooke: Oh, no! You’ve been negotiating that for a while.

Katie: Yeah.

Brooke: I’m sure it’ll work out.

Katie: Yeah, I think so, I’m just– I’m stressed about it. What’s going on with you? I can tell that there’s something on your mind. Something a bit more serious.

Brooke: Before we dive into me, I’d like to hear about you. Obviously you’re staying busy at work. So, how are things in your personal life?

Katie: Um, what personal life?

Brooke: Have you seen bill lately?

Katie: Let’s just say he’s doing everything he can to win me back. But I’m not sure what the future holds.

Brooke: I just hope things work out for you. Just the way you want them to.

Katie: Me too. But enough about me and my drama, what’s going on with you? Is everything okay?

Brooke: I’m not sure if I need to be worried about ridge and me.

Thomas: Wait, someone’s at your house? Shouldn’t you be there right now?

Steffy: Well, you’re forcing me to feel fabrics.

Thomas: “Force” is a very strong word, you’re very dramatic.

Steffy: Can you just guess who’s at my house right now?

Thomas: Do I have to?

Steffy: Yes, yes, you do.

Thomas: Okay, um, the singer lady from next door.

Steffy: No. No.

Thomas: Okay, am I warm?

Steffy: Kinda. The person of interest is a woman and…

Thomas: Okay.

Steffy: She loves you very much.

Thomas: This is why I don’t do this. Um, okay, is it– is it my niece?

Steffy: Close. No.

Thomas: Okay.

Steffy: She’s a little older than kelly. She’s very accomplished, she’s extremely beautiful–

Thomas: Oh!

Steffy: She–

Thomas: I think I–

Steffy: — Changed your diapers.

Thomas: She changed my diapers?

Steffy: Well, you’re– yes!

Thomas: That– okay. Silvia, the old– the– the girl who watched us when we were kids.

Steffy: No, thomas.

Thomas: No?

Steffy: No.

Thomas: Okay, I’m trying here.

Steffy: Mom! Mom is at my house.

Thomas: Wha–

Ridge: Look at you. Beautiful as ever.

Taylor: And you are as big of a flatterer as ever. I see you cut your hair.

Ridge: Yeah, it was getting a little shaggy. I thought, you know…

Taylor: You know, I’ve always thought it looked better short.

Ridge: Mm-hmm. I remember.

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: So, steffy obviously knows you’re here.

Taylor: She just went to run an errand. She was very surprised to see me.

Ridge: So, I’m not the only one.

Taylor: No. No, I didn’t tell the kids I was coming. I wanted it to be a surprise.

Ridge: Oh, it’s a surprise. You’ve been missed. Superpowers from a spider bite?

Thomas: Mom is so sneaky. I just talked to her the other day, and she didn’t mention a thing about coming home.

Steffy: We should plan something. Like a dinner. Us, the kids.

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: Maybe dad will come too.

Thomas: That’d be great. All of us in the same room, finally. I mean, video calls aren’t the same.

Steffy: I know. And I miss those mom hugs.

Thomas: Yeah, me too. It’s been so long since I’ve had one.

Steffy: It’s been even longer for me. You at least had one-on-one time with her. I haven’t seen her in over a year.

Thomas: That’s true, she did help me a lot when I was going through all that stuff with hope.

Steffy: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you were in a bad place. But we’re really lucky to have a mom who’s so compassionate and loving. And she’s, like, a world renowned psychiatrist. I mean, I really think she can handle anything.

Thomas: Even me?

Steffy: Mom’s the best advisor, and caregiver. Except for when she needs to prioritize herself.

Thomas: Yeah, yeah. She definitely puts other people’s needs first.

Steffy: Oh, yeah, she does.

Thomas: She should look after herself. I mean, she deserves to be happy.

Steffy: Mom did tell me that she had some issues of her own. Work wasn’t the only thing that kept her away.

Thomas: You, uh, talking about dad?

Steffy: Somewhat, yeah. But I’m really talking about brooke.

Katie: Your marriage to ridge seems so solid.

Brooke: It is. Until deacon came back in town.

Katie: Yes, yes. I heard he’s back. Is he up to no good?

Brooke: He hasn’t done anything except trying to show hope and me that he’s a different man.

Katie: Is he?

Brooke: I don’t know. It’s hard to tell with deacon.

Katie: What does your gut tell you?

Brooke: That he’s tired of living his old life. He’s tired of hustling to get by. Causing trouble. I think he learned a lot in prison, and I’m sure it scared him, too. All those lonely days and lonely nights, just imagining his life with his daughter. Now, all he’s doing is trying to prove that he’s changed.

Katie: Has he changed? I mean, ridge doesn’t seem to think that’s possible, right?

Brooke: No, but hope believes him. She really wants a relationship with her father.

Katie: How do you feel about that?

Brooke: It’s not really up to me. Yeah, I was upset when deacon came back in town, but hope is a grown woman. She has children of her own. It’s up to her whether she wants her father in her life or not.

Katie: So, you’re trying to support hope and at the same time you don’t want to disappoint ridge.

Brooke: Seems like it’s impossible.

Katie: I’m sorry. I can see how heavily this is weighing on you.

Brooke: Ridge and I just have very different viewpoints on deacon. I just don’t want this to come between me and my husband.

Ridge: When those kiddies wake up, they’re gonna be so happy to see you.

Taylor: I can’t get over how sweet they are. I could just stare at them for hours.

Ridge: Well, now you can. You got all the time in the world.

Taylor: You know, steffy and thomas have been great about keeping me up to date on video chat. I’m so lucky to have such a wonderful relationship with my three grandchildren. Douglas, kelly, now hayes.

Ridge: They talk about you all the time. Sit down. Can I get you something?

Taylor: No, no, I’m fine, I’m fine. You know, it’s funny, when I was traveling, I used to pray for good wifi so I could… read them stories and sing them songs. Kelly was so animated in front of the camera. But nothing… nothing compares to being here with them.

Ridge: I’m still thinking about you singing to these poor kids. It all goes so fast. I try to spend as much time with them as I can.

Taylor: Yeah. Douglas is hilarious, right? I– he’s gotten to that age where you can have a real conversation with him.

Ridge: Yes, as long as it’s about space exploration.

Taylor: Yes. It’s been his favorite subject the past couple of months. I’m still not sure what elliptical orbit is…

Ridge: Really? How do you not know that?

Taylor: You do?

Ridge: No. He might be the smartest forrester.

Taylor: I think you’re right.

Ridge: I missed that.

Taylor: What?

Ridge: That smile. For the power of a deep clean in

Steffy: It’s just so wild. We were talking about mom.

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: Reminiscing about the old days.

Thomas: How great would things have been if our family had just stayed together? Not sure if this feeling we’re having is ever going to go away.

Steffy: As long as dad’s with brooke, probably not. We care about dad and we want him to be happy and fulfilled, not this constant stress being thrown at him.

Thomas: Yeah. And he’s been great. I mean, helping us out tremendously, especially after mom left.

Steffy: Yeah, he just automatically picked up the slack when mom moved to paris, then she got that fellowship, and she started traveling all over the world. And he wanted to make sure that we were okay and mom had nothing to worry about. So he did everything he could to make sure he was supportive.

Thomas: Yeah, I mean, they’ve been broken up for a while, but, yeah, they managed to maintain this– this friendship through all this time. And not just for us, but for our kids.

Steffy: If he hadn’t chosen brooke over mom… I mean, could you imagine?

Brooke: I realize that ridge doesn’t want deacon around, but it’s what hope wants.

Katie: And you’re caught right in the middle.

Brooke: She even threatened to take liam and the kids and move out.

Katie: Really? But she adores living here. I mean, I can’t imagine her wanting to live anywhere else. Especially with the kids being so young.

Brooke: I know, it’s really very special. She’s created this beautiful home here on this property for liam and the kids. And I don’t want that taken away from them.

Katie: Or from you.

Brooke: Ridge believes deacon is a liability. He ordered hope to cut ties with him or leave the property.

Katie: You’ve got to be kidding, he gave her an ultimatum?

Brooke: Yes, he did, but I wouldn’t allow it. I know. I mean, what am I supposed to do, katie? I would move mountains for hope. But I don’t want to alienate ridge.

Taylor: You and I made beautiful children together. And now they have beautiful children of their own.

Ridge: They’re adorable, right? And hayes looks like he’s grown a foot since yesterday.

Taylor: He looks a lot like you, ridge.

Ridge: He does, right?

Taylor: Yes.

Ridge: I’ve been telling everyone how he’s super handsome and– glad we’re on the same page.

Taylor: As long as he doesn’t inherit that glint in his eye.

Ridge: What glint is that?

Taylor: Oh, well, that mischievous one right there. Anyway, I’m just– I’m still so amazed that steffy and finn named their son after me. Hayes. Such an honor.

Ridge: Well-deserved.

Taylor: Yeah. I’m so proud of steffy, the way that she and finn have embraced parenthood. I just– I just wish I would’ve– I would’ve flown in for hayes’s birth. Been there to hold my daughter’s hand.

Ridge: Don’t do that to yourself. They understand that you couldn’t just walk away from the seminar.

Taylor: I– I should’ve insisted on making the trip.

Ridge: And do what? Upset thousands of people? Come on! You’re making the world a better place.

Taylor: God, you know, it was a profound experience, ridge. Seeing all that suffering… it made me really appreciate and– my health, my life… my children.

Ridge: And I’m sure you met some extraordinary people along the way.

Taylor: I did. Dedicated, compassionate people. But I’m happy to be home. I’ve missed my kids so much. I’ve missed you, too, ridge.

Phyllis: Oh, well, you don’t have to be polite. I don’t want to rub my exciting plans that I have for Thanksgiving in your face, you know? Because I’m sure you’re gonna be spending the holiday alone, fixing that mess at ChanceCom.

Devon: Yeah? The nanny said the same thing, but I just wanted to double-check and make for sure.

Elena: Well, I will write down the name of an ointment you can pick up at the pharmacy. It’s over-the-counter. So it should clear up in a day or two.

Devon: That’d be perfect. That’d be perfect. Thank you so much for coming by. I appreciate it.

Elena: Yeah, of course. I’m glad you called. And just got off work, so it was no problem at all.

Elena: Mm, good. You hear that, buddy? Doctor says you’re gonna be just fine. I’m gonna get you some ointment and

Victoria: Maybe I should take you home.

Ashland: Well, that’s a good point.

Victoria: Not to mention a big chunk of ChanceCom consists of a division that i sold to them.

Hey, what’s wrong? What isn’t? Look, I hate being suspended from work. It was one thing when I was sick, but now I just feel useless. I get it. Again, I’m so, so sorry. I can’t stop thinking about the look on willow’s face when she found out that I was the father to your baby. Okay, just for clarification, I did not make you do that. That was — that was your choice. But it was all I could think of to protect maxie’s secret. I mean, that’s the most important thing, right? Keeping peter from finding out that bailey is really louise. Yeah. So what, are you here to face the music, even if that means willow will never speak to you again? No. I’m here to step up, assume the role of bailey’s father ’cause everybody has to believe that I’m the real deal. So I’m gonna start — I’m gonna start changing diapers and playing with bailey and… do what any other proud papa would do.

[ Laughs ] Good morning. You’re in a good mood today.

[ Laughs ] Aren’t you? I mean, my neck’s a little stiff from the chair. Well, I think that is a small price to pay to wake up and face this day together. Can you believe it? Today is the day our baby will be coming home. Nina: Any updates on sasha’s baby? We’re still on hold. But if I had information, I — we understand. It’s confidential. Family only. Can only imagine what’s going through their minds right now. I mean, hoping for the best, then worried the worst will happen. The hardest part is not knowing, hey. I still have faith. Louise is going to come home to you. Thank you, britt. I have faith, too. Of course, louise might already be home if nina had just called the police when peter showed up in nixon falls. Maybe i should go to crimson and just leave you here to visit sasha. No, I won’t have any of that. Look, it doesn’t help to second-guess anything. Choices were made. Peter will get what’s coming to him, okay? And my baby will come home. I really hope so. I truly do. But at what cost? Whatever it takes. Michael, wiley’s hoping his daddy has some time to go pick out a christmas tree for the gatehouse today. Uh, you know, maybe tomorrow. Oh, so you haven’T… changed your mind about appearing at brad’s parole hearing. Look, it’s my duty as wiley’s father. I’m gonna do whatever I can to make sure that brad never comes near our son again. I instructed my friend on the board to, uh, vote in favor of brad’s parole. But you got to understand something — michael, h-he wants to speak at that hearing. And he wants brad to serve out his full sentence. So I don’t know what guarantee you have of this going your way. Things might be different if jason were around to “guarantee” things. Jason wouldn’t be able to tell michael any more than I would. Admirable. However, I have to think others might be “persuaded” by jason’s mere presence, if he was still around. I’ve held off talking about this topic out of respect, but I believe it’s in everyone’s interest if you begin to consider just — so, what, are you — are you saying we should move on? Move on from what?

I feel like I’ve been counting every second for the last 71 hours and 42 minutes, but all the worry and the stress will be all worth it when dr. Westbourne and the other doctors say that the special therapy to cool liam’s brain has worked and the eeg confirms it. I’m sorry. Am I rubbing you too hard? No, brando. You have done everything right, from holding my hand to making me laugh to sending me pictures of our sweet little boy so I can be reminded what this is all about. Hey, I love this one. Oh.

[ Chuckles ] I know you’re committed to keeping wylie safe, just like I am. That is our first priority. But? But if your dad is willing to give brad another chance — no, this — this is just a business move for my dad. That’s — brad’s aunt, selina, is a business associate of my father’s, and he thinks that she can keep brad away from wylie, and I don’t agree. Look, I don’t claim to understand all the ins and outs of your dad’s business, but it doesn’t seem smart for brad’s aunt to break her word with your dad. That might have been true before when jason was still here. I mean, now that he’s, uh — he’s gone, that — the level of enforcement is gone. I know… I know you’re grieving for jason. Why don’t we…forget about the parole hearing today? Forget brad and nina and everyone else you think you have to protect us from. Let’s enjoy today. You know, the three of us have a chance to shop for a christmas tree. Wiley’s old enough to really enjoy that. Let’s celebrate that.

[ Door opens ] You look like something scared you half to death. Not something. Someone. Uh-huh? Sonny corinthos has all but put a bull’s-eye on my back. That’s hard to believe that there’s room for yet another target on your back. I’m not joking. Look around. Which one of the guards is on his payroll? Even here in solitary, I don’t feel safe, not with a corinthos hit on me. We, uh — we were just discussing her nephew’s, uh, parole hearing. I hope we can move forward from the mistakes in judgment bradley made. Okay, I-I know sonny has agreed not to interfere with brad’s parole as a favor to you, but my son, he has a mind of his own, and michael plans on testifying against your nephew. These situations have a way of sorting themselves out, as your husband knows. My family is best served… with peter taken care of. So see to it that it happens. As long as everyone keeps up with his — or her — end of the bargain… …we’re good. Consider it done. Yeah. I always liked selina. As the only woman running one of the families, she’s tough and she’s fair. But business is business, right? Agreed. Yeah. Exactly what bargain did I walk in on just now?

Alright, this isn’t fair. Nobody should look this beautiful after a c-section.

[ Laughs ] Well, you can thank my new stylist for that. Wow, brando. We’ll just add this to the list of talents, okay? Uh, georgie forgot her lunch, so maxie had to bring it to her, okay? She’ll be here in a second. Is there anything you can’t do? If there is, then I haven’t discovered it yet.

[ Laughs ] Hello there, gang. Hey. Hi, listen, I, uh, come bearing goodies. I had to sneak them past the nurses’ station. I didn’t want to bear the wrath of epiphany. So guess what — your favorite

[Singsong voice] Gummy bears. Wow. Well, it looks like I am literally the odd man out. I’m gonna leave you with your friends. If you see dr. Westbourne, bring her in here right away. Promise. Excuse me, ladies. Mm-hmm. Okay, let’s dig in to these. I think — you know, it’s a new place. I don’t know if they have your favorite, favorite one. Sasha: Mm, do you have cherry? What are the green ones? Nina: Oh, let me try a green one.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

[ Elevator bell dings ] Chase, he’s got a lot to learn. Can you believe this guy didn’t even know the name of our diaper service? Hmm. I just think we’re lucky we can afford to use one. Cloth diapers are so much better for the environment than disposable ones. Yeah, yeah. Couldn’t agree more, willow. Violet was way past the age of, uh, diapers when she came into finn’s life, so this is all new to me. Well, too bad you didn’t come forward as bailey’s dad, you know. Instead, you focused on making willow feel guilty for wanting to be with me and wiley while she was married to you. I didn’t come forward because I didn’t know, michael. Well, you did know that you slept with brook lynn around the same time that she got pregnant, so the fact that you didn’t even ask is a pretty clear indication that you just didn’t want to know. Wow. Oh, wow. Do you hear that? Bailey, she, um… really needs us, chase. Bailey didn’t make a noise. Okay, here’s the deal. The other day when all of this came out and you guys rushed off to be with sasha and brando, that was before we could deal with this news. We can’t keep avoiding this forever. Is there any way that we can get past this? I’m not gonna deny that there isn’t some satisfaction in seeing you like this…

[ Scoffs ] …But the reality is that you’re safer in here than, uh, the gold in fort knox. But sonny wants me dead. I’m sure he does, as do a lot of people. But his hands are tied. He knows that since he got back to town, he’s been in the spotlight. You really expect me to believe that there’s no credible threat against my life. Sonny is too smart to risk it. Trust me. He knows that law enforcement has been watching his every move. Still, we both know that… …you’ve made a lot of enemies. Meaning what? Meaning if you want to stay alive, you’re gonna have to save yourself. Selina, she’s — she’s suggested that, uh, maybe it’s time we… think about replacing jason. Replace jason? I mean, that’s impossible. He’s — irreplaceable. Yeah. And you know that. Yeah. You know, jason — I loved jason. He’s like a brother to me. But like my dad always said, you know, “graveyards are full of indispensable men.” I mean, I-I was one of them. I know. I remember. And you are irreplaceable. Nothing was the same or could be the same without you. Right. I mean… and you had to — you had to carry on for the family, for the life we built together. Nobody knew that more than jason, and even when I came back and… it threw me that you guys were together. Doesn’t matter because there was a void, jason had to fill it. And now that he’s gone, because of how much we loved him and how much he — he loved us… we have to do the same.

goingabsolutely great lately, and it’s largely because of your role as the “face of conception,” and the public is so excited. Everything is turning out so well. Financial institutions really, really want to get behind us. So, drum roll

[Inhales deeply] We’re thinking of taking the company public. Think about it. We would all get our initial investment back. Not to mention, you have to think about the future. Well, this sounds very exciting, lucy, and — and I’m glad that you shared the news with me. But, um, the only future that matters to me right now is laying in an incubator in the nicu. Uh, dr. Fleming. Hi. I’m just confirming that we can go ahead with the eeg of baby liam corbin. Great. Okay. Please send me the results as soon as you get them. I don’t know what I’m doing. Uh… I can’t remember the last time I came to church, and I certainly can’t remember the last time I made a confession. But liam, he’s opened my heart in so many more ways than I thought were possible. And I don’t know why he was born with so many obstacles to overcome. I guess that’s why I’m here. Until I can hold liam in my arms… …can you make sure he feels loved and feels safe? Let him know that his mom and dad are here for him. And we always will be. And that we need him, too. So, what brings you back by my office?

[ Chuckles ] Well, I think there are some things that, uh, we didn’t get a chance to say last night, or, more accurately, we avoided saying. Well, I was just trying to be gracious, nina, and avoid having this conversation. Gracious, yes, but you’re a doctor. You know that it’s not healthy to just stuff those feelings deep down inside. No, but talking about it isn’t going to change anything, so what’s the point? Britt, come on. Don’t you want to say it to my face? That your life could have been different if I just told the truth about peter? Okay, nina. You want to go down that road? Let’s go down that road. Why didn’t you call the cops when peter showed up in nixon falls? Why should willow make itany easier for you, chase? Because you — you wanted us to feel guilty for being in love, when the whole time you knew that you slept with brook lynn? Look, michael, you’re my cousin and I love you, but I’m not gonna let you call chase out for this. Thinking that he lied about being bailey’s father — he didn’T. He didn’t know because I deliberately kept it from him. I needed to get back my elq shares from valentin, and I just — I couldn’t think of another way. So if you’re looking to blame someone, blame me. Chase, I know how betrayed you felt when you learned about michael and me, but, eventually, you were able to make peace with it. And I’d be a hypocrite if I couldn’t do the same with you.

[ Sighs ] But you, brook lynn — you’re a whole different story. Oh, anna, what would you expect me to do now? What deal could I possibly cut? Nobody said anything about a deal. You have to confess.

[ Scoffs ] You can’t possibly mean that. I do. You have to own up to everything you’ve done, every single crime, and we’re not gonna stop there. You’re gonna give up your rights to your daughter so that maxie can have some peace of mind that somewhere down the line, whoever has louise will return her. In more simple terms, you have to take your punishment and you have to do it like a man. And why would I do all of that? Because… if you accept what you’ve done, if you face up to it, and if you stop all your endless games… maybe, just maybe, there’s something I can do for you. No one could ever replace you, sonny. And jason didn’t even try. And now, I mean… there’s no way we can replace jason. It’s — it’s impossible. I mean, y-you can find someone to take on his responsibilities or someone that you trust, but they’re just gonna be following in jason’s footsteps, right? You can’t replace jason, and if you think you can, then you really did change when you were in nixon falls.

Hey, I’m sorry. I, um — I think that was just my misguided way to try and take your mind off things just for a little minute. Being a mom is hard, huh? It’s sometimes the most achingly, breathtakingly beautiful thing in the world, and then other times it breaks your heart. I don’t talk about this too much ’cause… I had several miscarriages, you know, and, um… I wanted to be a mom so badly, and I know I’m not the only woman in the world who’s ever had a miscarriage, but that’s why I’m so grateful because my friend dominique asked me to carry serena, and she also asked me to help raise her with scott. I-I — I can’t tell you what that m-meant to me, and even though my girl is living all the way across the ocean… …serena will always be my daughter in every way that counts. I-I don’t know. What — what — you know, what I’m trying to say is I know this is overwhelming and this is so hard. But eventually, somehow, you managed to cherish each and every moment, no matter how very, very scary.

[ Voice breaking ] Thank you, lucy. Thank you. I’m trying to do that. Cherish every single moment. I didn’t mean to intrude. I heard your baby’s in the nicu and I just wanted to see if…

[Scoffs] If you were okay. You know, there was a time that we used to be friends. Then stuff happened. You tried to rearrange my jaw. Yeah. Well, you know, I hope we’re past that now. I saw all of sasha’s friends in her room, and I just thought, if you needed somebody to talk to… I was actually talking to someone. Did they talk back?

[ Both laugh ] You know, my mom wanted me to be an altar boy so bad. So bad. That, you know, father hogan, he would have made me say 10 hail marys and probably run 10 laps if I made a joke like that. Oh, okay. My aunt stella would make me wash my mouth out with soap, for sure. For sure. For sure.

[ Both laugh ] Thanks, man. For what? For making me forget for two minutes that my son’s in the nicu fighting for his life when I could do is wait for him to win. Peter was blackmailing me. He said that he was gonna hurt james, britt. He also said that he was going to tell carly that sonny was alive and well in nixon falls. And avoiding trouble with carly was more important than making sure peter was stopped. No, I — I thought I could do both. By turning to my mother instead of calling the police? You know, britt, in hindsight, I know what I did was wrong, but at the moment, I was desperate. I needed someone that I could trust, someone that I could confide in. And you know what? It was your mother’s idea to go after peter, and you know better than anyone else that once liesl obrecht has something in her mind, there’s no stopping her. Well, too bad you didn’t think of that before you got her involved. I’m sorry. Y-you do realize you could have gotten my mother killed. I do. I love her. At least peter’s in prison. Jason is dead. Carly believes jason’s blood is on my hands. I’m sure you do, too. Brook lynn didn’t tell me I was bailey’s dad because she knew how I felt about you. She kept silent about bailey’s paternity so you and i could be together. There’s a little bit more to it than that. She also did it so the quartermaines could regain control of elq. Oh, yeah, that’s what us quartermaines are taught our entire lives — put the company first. And obviously, I grew up with a warped idea of what a family is supposed to be. I thought other families, real families were different. Maybe not this one.

[ Sighs ] Hey, brook lynn, I, uh — I came here to see my daughter, so… right. Let’s go upstairs. Brook lynn, chase, wait. Our kids are around the same age. They’re both quartermaines, so they’re going to grow up together. I can’t speak for michael, but for the kids’ sake, I promise to get past this. Thank you. I hope you can forget about it, too. I-I can’t believe you would even suggest that I give up my parental rights to louise. That — that would mean giving up all hope of ever being a family with maxie. Oh, come on. That was an illusion. It died a long time ago. Louise and maxie are what keep me… human. I — [ Sighs ] I won’t give them up.

[ Door opens ] Time’s up. That means your arraignment’s starting soon. All the pain you’ve caused, all the lives you ruined and cut short, death isn’t good enough for you. The trouble with me is that I still believe in the justice system. If you own what you’ve done… I will do what I can.

[ Door closes ] I can’t deny my time away from you changed me. But when I came back, not to pick up where we left off, but I wanted us to get closer and — and — and just be better, you know, for our kids. I want that, too. I really want that, so it doesn’t matter what selina wu wants, or — or the people that think they know what’s best for us because we know what’s best. We know what we want. H-have I said that, I — I want you, mrs. Corinthos?

[ Chuckles ] I want you. Only you. No one’s here. We’re not open yet. You think that’s gonna stop me?

Try not to let your imagination get the best of you. Your son is going to have his eeg test soon. Don’t get in your head, okay? Enjoy the fact that sasha survived a difficult birth and is doing better. Focus on the positive. The test results will come when they come. I know. You’re right, man. Thank you. I-I know. I’ve been trying to do that. It’s just… it’s a good reminder.

[ Sighs ] When I left sasha’s room, her friends had her laughing.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

[ Sighs ] Brando. You’re back. Uh, lucy was just showing me the latest deception baby care products. Uh, yep, organic, hypoallergenic, of course, and adorable, I have to say so myself. Uh, well, I-I hate to ruin the party, um, but first things first, we should be hearing from the doctor soon. Oh, shoot! I didn’t know I had been here quite that long. I’m so sorry. I’ll get out of your hair, and, um… let me help you. Hey. Oh. I am so rooting for you. And I’m rooting for all of you. Well, thank you. What a lovely gentleman. Absolutely. Okay, take care. Bye. You’ve got my number, brando. If you have any questions with medical lingo or… anything, just call me. Thanks, man. Thank you. Appreciate it, T.J.

[ Sighs ] Lucy did a terrific job of distracting me, but, um… I guess we can’t avoid it any longer. It’s almost time, right? I’m not gonna play the blame game with you, nina. You made choices, and so did I. And I’m pretty sure if nathan was still here, he would probably tell me to “go pay it forward and help nina.”

[ Chuckles ] Thank you. You sound exactly like J. Hey, if I can come back, so can you. Mm. Mm-hmm. Cousin to cousin… you’ll be there for me? You’ll help me out? Yeah. Nathan wouldn’t have it any other way. Okay.

[ Telephone ringing ] Dr. Westbourne. Yeah, I’ll be right there. What, is — is that news about sasha’s baby?

[ Sighs ] That went well, don’t you think? As opposed to what, a firing squad? You gotta take what you can get. Seems like willow’s gonna give you a pass, whereas everyone thinks I am the next cruella de vil. I hope you know that what you’re doing is very noble, brook lynn.

[ Scoffs ] Noble. Not exactly a word used to describe me, ever. Okay, well, one day, your family will know the good thing that you’ve done. But while peter is still a potential threat to maxie and louise, we’re in this. What other choice could we have made? I’m not complaining, but what was that for? I’m just still amazed by how generous you are, how willing you are to forgive. Let’s be clear — forgiving chase is one thing. Brook lynn… is a whole other story. Yeah, that’s gonna be a — a longer road, for sure. But as long as we’re on the topic of forgiveness, if I can forgive chase and, hopefully soon, brook lynn, do you think you might be able to find it in your heart to forgive brad?

[ Keys jingle ]

[ Cart rattles ] Pass on the breakfast. I don’t trust it. Fine. We’ll give it to the next inmate. Wait, bring it back. You heard him. The happiest day of my life was when you came back to me.

[ Sighs ] That makes two of us. Um… you know what? What? It all started with the dreams. Blonde woman in a dream, and, uh… …and then you became a-a reality.

I feel like I’ve been pretty consistent on this issue. I’m gonna do whatever it takes to make sure that our family’s safe. And that’s not limited to keeping brad in prison and away from our son. The same rules apply to nina. Look, this — this is a black-and-white subject to me. There’s nothing gray about it. Sonny: Whatever happened between us in nixon falls, it has to come from me. And it will. Okay. I get it. But…despite all the pain that it caused — and I know that we’re going on with our lives — it’s just I need to let you know that the love that we shared is the purest thing that I’ve ever known in my life. And I am sorry — I am so sorry — but I could never… regret that. Michael: And I understand how you could give chase a pass, and then maybe someday forgive brook lynn. And I also get that you and brad were close in the past, but I gotta be honest. Nina’s a different story. I can’t help but wonder why you’re so forgiving of her. I know we can lean on each other, but it is nice having friends that could back us up, too. Right? And when the doctors give us the news, we will deal with that. Whatever it takes to give liam a long and happy life, starting today.

[ Door opens ] What do you say, chase? You ready for some diaper changing 101? Oh, I’m up for the challenge.

[ Laughing ] Yeah. You know, I think with a little practice, I could actually be pretty good.

[ Chuckles ] But I do hope, for maxie’s sake, that all the lies stop soon. Yeah, me too. It isn’t enough that peter is in custody. It seems like maxie’s not gonna feel safe for her or her baby until peter is dead and buried. You were the key. The second I remembered you… I remembered all of it. All I wanted to do was come home. I just wanted to be with you, my family, my life.[ Elevator doors open ] This is where I belong.

[ Footsteps approaching ] This is my home. Yeah. Excuse me, sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt. That’s okay. Carly, I wanted to say how sorry I am about jason. I-I’m — I’m very sorry. Thank you, anna. Sure. I have some things I need to do. Excuse me. Alright. You’re back. Yes. You know, the more I thought about it, the more I recognized that the subject of jason may have caused a miscommunication. But it’s all about wanting to protect you and your family. That’s what you and sonny both want, right? If you wanted to put the fear of god in peter, mission accomplished, alright? I just came from pentonville. So can you leave it at that and just let the law run its course? Anna, you give me way too much credit. Peter’s behind bars 24/7 with guards. Even if I wanted to get my hands dirty, how would I get him?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

don’t forget, mama carly. I won’T. Little liam is gonna love your present. But I’m gonna keep it with me right now because it’s getting pretty crowded in this room.

Okay, but promise

to kiss sasha. Already done. I’ll be home soon, sweetie. I love you. Love you, too.

[ Smooches ] A darling child. Oh. Hi, selina. Uh, thank you for the flowers. I was sorry to hear about mr. Morgan, but hope may yet prevail. Jason has a record of beating the odds. Well, I’m not a betting woman, but if I were, mr. Morgan is the safest bet there is. You here to see sonny? My business is not with your husband. Give my best to the family. Thank you. Okay, looks like you’re getting out of here tomorrow. I cannot believe you’re not a fan of nougat. I’m a fan of your nougat.

[ Laughs ] Naughty boy. Yeah, that’s what they tell me. Although, maybe not. It might be another three weeks, give or take. And caramel? Does it elicit the same response? Oh, yes. That’s like nectar from the gods.

[ Laughs ] Thank you. Excellent answer. By the way… I’m pregnant! Surprise! Quintuplets! Can you believe it?

[ Laughs ] Britta finds public displays of affection unseemly. Ah, how could you have given birth to such a prude? This? This is what love looks like. Hmm. If you say so. Mm-hmm. I, um — I need to talk to you about peter. I just came from seeing that bastard. What’s on your mind? Okay, well, I want to know what you’re gonna do about him. Okay. I want him dead. Okay, listen to me. Peter has to live. It’s getting late. I hadn’t noticed. I got a fire going in our bedroom, too. What do you say? You, me, our bearskin rug? Maybe later. Ouch. I’m a little preoccupied, that’s all. With? Rat kings. Not the answer I was expecting. They remind me of your family. Tales all knotted up together. Unable to break away. Destined to die together. Unless they do the painful thing… …and chew their way free. I miss you, too, kevin. So much. But the good news is that the fbi are getting close to finding the killer that cyrus hired. So I really don’t think that this thing is gonna go on that much longer. Hang on.

[ Faucet squeaks ]

[ Water stops ]

[ Thud ] S-stop struggling, and this will all be over. And don’t worry. I’ll see to it your sister joins you soon.

[ Echoing ]

Hey, britt, uh, really sorry about jason. Oh, thank you, but… we were long over. Pfffft. What does that mean? “Pfffft.” It’s not weak to admit you’re hurting, britta. I’m fine. Thank you both for your concern. A pox on that peter august. If only I’d ended his misbegotten life when I had the chance. The schwein would be brisket and none of this would have happened. And you’d be in prison. A small price to pay. Whoa, now. Bite your tongue. It’s very nice of you, aunt liesl, to try to take the blame, but we all know who’s responsible for peter’s latest reign of terror — I.E., Me. Um, I have some work to catch up on, so don’t stay up too late. Don’t pop any stitches. Do my best. Um… she seems to be holding up okay. It’s a facade. Over or not, jason is the closest britta has ever come to true love. And any chance of rekindling that is now over. Peter robbed her of it. Well, he’s not alone. Jason’s death is my fault, too. I’m sorry. This is my private office. I’m aware. Okay, well, all appointments need to go through my assistant. Better to keep this meeting off the books. Do I know you? No, but I know you. Well, now I feel left out. Please, introduce yourself. Who I am depends on you. I hope we’ll be friends. But if not, I’m willing to settle for a more transactional relationship. I take it you have my uncle victor on your mind. Don’t you? I’ve thought of little else since his visit this afternoon. You never should have thrown in with him, nikolas. I might not be alive if I hadn’T. I know. He saved your life. I’m grateful for that. But victor is just… he’s a little too “proactive” for my taste. To be clear… I didn’t ask my uncle to take it that far with hayden or naomi. No, I know. He took it upon himself. That’s what I mean. He’s too proactive. God help the next poor soul that falls victim to uncle victor’s instinct for enterprise.

[ Gagging ]

[ Clattering ]

[ Knock on door ] Everything okay in there? I’m coming in!

[ Door opens ] Be right there! Batter up!

[ Grunts ]

[ Panting ]

Silva: Mayor collins!

[ Pounding on door ] Mayor collins! Oh, please, call 911. What happened?! I don’t know if my brother’s breathing.

[ Panting ] Martin? Martin?

[ Groaning ] Oh.

[ Gagging, coughing ] Oh.

[ Gasping ] Was there a backup? I’m selina wu. Brad cooper’s aunt. No way. Way. Oh, brad never spoke much about his family. Is he okay? I’m surprised you have to ask. I was under the impression that you and my nephew were close. We were. Uh, we are. I’ve been away. And before that, uh, let’s just say there was a lot going on. It’s been hard to visit. I see. Why do I feel like I’m being judged? [ Chuckles ] Friendships are difficult to maintain even under the best of circumstances. Your rather fluid commitment to brad is not unexpected. Well, he’s still my friend and will continue to be. You don’t have to worry about me abandoning brad. But that’s precisely what I want. It is peter — with assistance from my reptilian ex, victor — who is to blame for jason’s fate. But, aunt liesl, if I didn’t call you when peter showed up in nixon falls — what else were you to do? Call the police! That schleim was blackmailing you with threats to sweet, adorable little james. Of course you needed me. Uh, you know what? I think this might be a good time to talk about your preliminary hearing here. You know, I have a good shot at getting the charges tossed out. Hearing? Charges? What are you accused of now? I thought you would have left by now. Hey. Where’s willow? Oh, she went to go home to be with wiley. I thought I’d stick around — you know, offer to be with liam in case sasha and brando want to take a break. Did you see the baby? Yeah. You take away the tubes and the machines… you’d never knew anything was wrong. He’s perfect. Yeah. I had placental abruption with you. Oh, yeah, uh, jason, he found you passed out on the floor, right? Yeah. Yeah, he was living at sonny’s old penthouse. Sonny was out of the country, and he wasn’t expected to return. And, uh [Chuckles] I showed up on the doorstep. And, of course, jason let me in. And I was nesting, and I had this terrible pain. And the next thing I know, jason’s there, and he is rushing me to the hospital. And I’m rushed in to an emergency c-section. Of course, I don’t remember any of that. I just remember waking up in the icu. Hmm.

[ Exhales sharply ] Let me guess — jason was right by your side. That’s when he told me that you had surgery, and… oh, god, it was the scariest moment of my life. And I remember right then and there, I promised myself… that I would die before I ever caused you pain. Yeah, I know the feeling. I make that promise every day.

[ Sighs ] Sonny, wait. You cannot seriously be suggesting that peter deserves mercy. No, not at all. But you want your daughter back, right? Of course I want her back! Then getting rid of peter is a bad idea. He set up the kidnapping, right? So if peter dies, any information about where louise is is gonna die with him. No, he doesn’t know where louise is. You sure about that? W-why would he have blackmailed nina if he did? It’s a possibility.

[ Sighs ] All right. Look, here’s the deal. As long as peter is breathing, louise is in trouble. Oka– forget about me. A-and I know you don’t care about franco, but what about elizabeth and her sons? And drew? And — and jason? I mean, are you really gonna let the man who killed your best friend get away with it?

You want me to abandon brad? I appreciate you looking after him now and then, but you’re no longer needed.

[ Scoffs ] Says the woman who had nothing to do with him his entire life? You don’t know of what you speak. Uh, the hell I don’T. I would have heard of you if you meant anything to brad. Circumstances are favorable to brad’s imminent parole. He’s up? I had no idea. Naturally. And if parole is granted, you’re advised to remain at a distance. Why? Because that’s not what brad would want. It’s what i want. And more importantly, it’s what my nephew needs. This is brad’s chance to rehabilitate his character — to evolve it beyond its current limited scope — and his ability to do so will be constrained by harmful influences lingering from his old life. Harmful influences like me.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Scoffs ] Thank you for your time, dr. Westbourne. Yeah, you didn’t give me much of a choice. Best of luck in your endeavors. And I see no need to revisit this conversation as long as you abide by my wishes. Congratulations. You’re going away for the rest of your life. I don’t know about that. I think there’s a scenario where she could spend maybe a few of her golden years outside… provided you tell us who you’re working for. It’s cyrus renault, isn’t it? Lawyer. Get her out of here.Let’s go.

[ Wheezing ] Hey, how are you feeling? Oh. Ehhh, I’m fine. It’s all right.

[ Stammers ] I’ll be fine after a little…laryngitis. Oh, thank god for that. Thank god. Thank you for getting here so quickly. Ugh. Won’t be without my dulcet tones for long. Come on, now. Don’t strain yourself. I don’t intend to. Unless you used all the hot water. I need to relax, so I’m gonna take a nice hot soak before our minders move us to the next loca– that’s one option. There’s another? Can I give you a ride home? Oh. Uh, no. No, um, I’m just gonna stick around and see if sasha or brando need anything — well, no, I-I checked. They’re — they’re out. And hopefully, they stay that way till morning. Oh. Hey, mom? Yeah? Why do I — I-I-I get the feeling that you’re avoiding going home. You said everything’s okay with you and dad. I mean, is it? Um…

[ Footsteps approaching ] Michael — hello again. Selina. Mr. Corinthos, I can’t help but wonder if you plan to attend my nephew’s parole hearing. I wouldn’t miss it. I assume your position on his release is unchanged? Mm, I’m surer than ever that brad should remain in prison. He repents of his sin. Oh, yeah, I’ve heard that one before. Recently, in fact — from the woman who kept my father away from his family. And you know what? That sounded as hollow from her as it does from you. I’m sorry to hear that. Have a good evening. If nina is guilty of anything, it’s making this town a better place. She almost helped rid us of the worst menace to ever walk these streets. This is an outrage. Peter is finally locked up, so the authorities persecute my niece instead? And for what? Attempting to thwart a madman? Please, my charges aren’t related to peter. Against who who else have you allegedly transgressed? You’re grieving. You’re angry. So am I, but bringing up jason is not a way to get into my good graces. This is no time for grace. Peter took franco and jason from their families. He took louise from me. Do you think he’s gonna stop there? Can you remember how righteous you were? Telling me all about how you found yourself in that little town. I’ll tell you what you found for yourself. You found a whole lot of nina. And guess what, sonny? I recorded it. All of it. I got a great picture of that kiss, too. It’s all on a thumb drive, safe in a vault, locked away, ready to be opened upon my death. So you kill me, you’re just gonna breathe life into that. Taking is what peter does. He’s gonna keep taking until he has what he wants. And when he gets it, guess what? He’s gonna want something new. God forbid you have the thing he’s set his sights on. We’re on the same page, okay? I want nothing to do with whatever victor is plotting. What you want is beside the point. I get the feeling that victor is using your past association as license to reduce you to his pawn. Do you disagree? Name one person who’s ever gotten the better of me? Besides you. This isn’t funny, nikolas. I know. It’s not. [ Sighs ] We are better together. I know that, too. I promise, I’ve learned my lesson. Have you? What are you getting at? You didn’t fill me in about victor until it was almost too late. I made a mistake. And are you done making that mistake, my love? If there is anything left to tell me, the time is now.

That’s it — sonny returned home and reunited with his family. Yep, and the rest will play out in court. What exactly are the charges?

[ Sighs ] Fraud. But we’re gonna get them thrown out before it goes to the trial phase. So, then, what you said about jason — yeah, it’s — it’s true. Peter might have been in custody if I’d called the police right away. But you didn’t want the truth about sonny to come out. No, I called you. Jason might still be alive if I made a different choice. Hey, nina, listen, if — if it’s any consolation here, you know, when — I go to liesl when — when I get mixed up in any shady business. Leave us, liebchen. Well, you know what? G-give me one of those caramels, and you will have lawyer-client privilege. We can talk freely. Thank you. But some things can only be said to family.

[ Knock on door ] Hi. Oh, my god, it’s so good to see you. You have no idea. What’s wrong? Or, I guess, what’s not wrong is the more appropriate question. Yeah, it’d make for a short conversation. Well, talk to me.

[ Sighs ] No. What do you mean, “no”? You don’t have the time. You have kids. You want to hear my sob story. Okay, my kids are with my parents, and they’re totally fine. Come on. Come up here. Sit right there.

[ Sighs ] Okay, I’m listening. Okay, look, I-I’m no fan of brad cooper. Not after what he did to you and lucas. And willow. And willow. Okay, it’s despicable on all fronts, and I definitely think brad should be serving his full prison sentence. But? I think you should take a different tact when it comes to his aunt. She asked me questions. I-I told the truth. I know. I know that. Think about it, like — if I — if I — if I would have just glossed over my feelings, selina, she would have been — she would have been surprised and probably angry when I went after brad at the — at the parole hearing. Listen to me. I just think you could be a little less confrontational about it. Selina is your dad’s ally. And I know that. I know that. And I plan on honoring their agreement, okay? I’m not gonna pull any strings to block brad’s parole behind the scenes. But I have every intention of speaking at that hearing, which dad understands. Mm. And, by the way, selina, she should know better than to — to — to trade on the alliance to help brad. Don’t you think dad would agree? Oh, to be honest, I don’t feel comfortable speaking for your dad. We’re not exactly on the same page right now. Thank you for coming by. I know it’s late. I always have time for you. I hope you have some consideration for me. Meaning? This guy? He’s in pcpd. He’s in custody. His arraignment’s tomorrow. Okay? There won’t be a bail, but they’re sending him back to pentonville up until his trial. But there’s not gonna be a trial… because he’s gonna be dead before that happens. Ah. And you want me to make sure this occurs. Well, I’d do it myself, but I-it’s public knowledge how I feel about him. And, you know… I would be the number-one suspect.

[ Chuckles ] And you require more than the usual degree of plausible deniability? He is… a danger to society. Can you do it? It’s possible. But it will cost you. Ho. Ho. Ho. It’s santa. We got a problem. Wooooooo! Ho! Ho! Ho!

Obviously, I’ll compensate you for your effort. Parcel out whatever holdings I inherited from novak. That’s very generous, but I prefer payment in another form. What form is that? I was hoping we could revisit the subject of my nephew. I’m not gonna pressure the board to refuse brad’s parole. And that’s all well and good. Okay. But I was hoping you’d undertake a more positive approach. Use your sway to ensure a favorable result. Do you understand what you’re asking me to do? Because of brad, my — my son, uh, couldn’t be a father. He thought his son was dead. And you want me to set him free? Brad is of no more consequence to your family. His attachments to your grandson are severed. Words are cheap. Not mine — nor is taking a life. His removal is of great value to you? Yes. Then I ask that you give me something commensurate in return. A life for a life, as it were. All right, I’ll tell my guy on the parole board to vote… for brad’s release. A single vote may not be enough to ensure my nephew’s freedom — especially with your son on the warpath. I knew something was going on with you and dad. What’s going on? I don’t want to put you in the middle, michael. I get that, but you obviously need somebody to talk to. But it can’t be you! Okay. Look, it’s not that complicated. I think your dad and i both thought that things were just gonna go back to the way they used to be. Easier said than done? Yeah. And it’s really hard now, with jason and…

[ Sighs ] Y– we’ll work things out. Your dad and i will work things out, because we always do. I know. But, uh, hopefully I can help speed things along. All right, aunt liesl, let me have it. Obrecht: I will do no such thing. Why not? Because what is the point? To make you feel worse than carly and sonny already have? Well, it’s more painful when it comes from family, so h-here I am. Go for it. Aunt liesl! Yell at me, damn it! Masochism doesn’t suit you. Well [Sighs] If I don’t suffer, how am I going to be redeemed, huh?

[ Sighs ] First off… you make amends with britta. You have no idea what you’ve taken from her, nina. But I thought that britt and jason, they only dated for a little while before jason left her to be with carly. Obrecht: He’s got a thing for you, britta. Britt: Mother — and I don’t mean he feels sorry for you. I know he doesn’T. I don’t think he sees me differently. He accepts me as I am before and after my diagnosis. Jason was more than a fling to britta. She gave him something most precious — her trust. And now he’s gone, and I’m afraid. What? Afraid of what? Of britta hardening her heart at a time she can least afford to. I will be there for her. Always — I promise. Good. Okay. You said “first off,” aunt liesl. I know you. Is there a second thing? Mm. The path to redemption is resurrection. You are no innocent, but neither are carly and sonny. If they don’t apologize, why should you? Remember who you are, nina. Sister, niece, friend, mother, grandmother, force to be reckoned with. When you go into court, don’t cower in the corner. Take up arms, and you fight for your life. Nothing specific is — is going on. It was just nice to look up and see a friendly face. Back at you. So, what brings you by the hospital? Well, I was on my way home, and I realized that I had not checked up on you or liesl yet since you’ve been back. Oh, I’d give my mother another night. Oh, no. Is she not well? Oh no, she’s — she’s great.

[ Chuckles ] She’s, uh, busy cocooning with scott. Gross. Yeah. But cute? Totally. Well, that sounds like a better reunion than the one I had with peter. What?

[ Sighs ] I want to see him at the police station. Oh, I — [ Sighs ] Okay, good. I just had these visions of him escaping and showing up at your apartment. Oh, no. No, no, no. It was all my doing. Why? Well, I — [ Sighs ] I don’t know. I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t scared of him anymore, that he didn’t have this hold on me. But leave it to peter. He tried to find new ways to terrify and obsess over me. Well, at least you tried, right?

[ Chuckles ] I’m proud of you. Thank you. Anyway, that’s it for peter. Now…it’s just a matter of time. Before what? Laura: Trust me. This is going to work. Martin: Listen to me! Our brother’s assassin… rest your voice! …Just caught up with us! What is to prevent cyrus from taking another shot — literally?! The fbi have told me that cyrus hired a single assassin. I know. So what? You think that’s it? You think j-just one and done, huh? Yes, I believe so! Look, he — he — he’s completely cut off from his funds. He has no allies. He has zero support. How’s he gonna be able to sic anyone on us now? I don’t know. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. No, not this time. Listen, I fear you are dangerously underestimating our brother. I think he underestimated me — twice, both times to his regret. Eh, yeah. Uh, thank god for that. What happens if the third time is the charm? Martin… my family and my community need me, and I can’t be there to help them if I’m in hiding or if I’m on the run always looking over my shoulder. Believe me, that is no way to live. There is only one way to win here. You turn around, you stand your ground, and you take on your enemy face to face. You some kind of cheerleader in high school? Drum majorette. It’s a simple question, nikolas. You either trust me, love me… or you don’T. Of course I love you. And I trust you. Prove it. Wait. Let go.

[ Sighs ] You want complete honesty? You know I do. Even if it makes you an accessory after the fact? I’d rather that than be kept in the dark.

[ Sighs ] Shawn butler. He didn’t shoot hayden. It was someone else.

[ Sighs ] I know. You hired them.

You just relax now, okay?Rest the vocal chords, please. I’m gonna talk to agent silva, and then I’ll start packing up our things. Lord, I hope you know what you’re doing. So do I. Funny. Martin, listen to me. Somehow, some way, I will take care of cyrus, and I will protect you in the process. Okay? Okay. You knew I tried to have hayden killed? How? When? Weeks ago. In the midst of your hand-wringing over alexis and shawn, it all became pretty clear. And then victor essentially confirmed it this afternoon. Why didn’t you say anything? Because I knew you were trying to protect me. I was happy to let it lie. Why coerced you into confessing something that you did so long ago? It’s not as if I’m an angel myself. And then victor surfaced. One secret too many. Make no mistake, nikolas. There can be no more secrets between us. So you need to decide. Is it all… or is it nothing? Does that answer your question? Hey, blue eyes. Any chocolate left for me?

[ Door closes ] Do you really stand a chance of getting a judge to throw out the charges against nina? Uhhh, not really. And if it goes badly, we could, uh, taint the jury against her. Then why bother? Uh, well, because [Grunts] Uh, we — we gotta see what the prosecution’s case looks like. Not to mention the key witnesses and what they’re gonna say. Key witnesses like sonny. It’s not like him, is it? To deploy the courts against an adversary? He didn’t — michael did. Ah, the avenging son. Yeah, yeah. But you know what? I’m not — I’m not so sure that sonny is, uh… too happy about that. Has he undertaken any retribution? No, and it’s not like him. Sonny and I have one thing in common — we hold grudges. There are no bygones. Then why hasn’t he lifted a finger against nina, the woman who kept him from his wife and children? Well, maybe he still thinks he’s that, uh, country bumpkin bartender, mike. Did you say mike? I did say mike. Why? What’s waiting for you back in that pennsylvania town? Or is it a “who”? Oh, you just assume there’s a man? Is there?

[ Gasps ] There is! Okay, okay. Yes, there is. I met someone, and it’s really good for me. I believe it’s good for him. That’s wonderful, nina. And does this mystery man have a name? Mike. No reason. Well, you know, I’m still a little confused as to why sonny hasn’t gone off on nina. I got to get to the bottom of that. You know, her whole future could hinge on it. You’re planning something. Not anymore. Now it’s up to someone else to do the planning. Or, so I hope. What does that mean? Nothing. Maxie, come on. You’re freaking me out. Okay, that’s the opposite of what I want to do. Look, why don’t you come with me back to my place? I have wine and extra-large wine glasses. We can get old-school wasted. Hey, I’m sorry. Am I interrupting? Oh, no. I was just bullying britt into coming to my house and getting wine-hammered. Is that a new technical term?

[ Laughs ] I think it is now. Are you in? Uh, no, I don’t want to intrude. Are you kidding? The more the merrier. You two ladies are the perfect people to raise my glass with. Mm, and what are we toasting to? A peter-free world, coming soon. Selina: Your son plans to argue in favor of my nephew’s continued imprisonment. Look, I already told you, I’m not gonna push michael on this. He’s gonna vote his way. I’m gonna vote my way. That’s it.

[ Sighs ] When can I expect this to happen? I’ll make the necessary arrangements immediately — before brad’s parole hearing. All right. For what it’s worth… …I’m sorry for your trouble. I know this puts you in an awkward position. I truly hope michael forgives you for intervening. Look, it is obvious that nina is the reason that you and dad are having issues. But look, she’s about to get what she deserves. Oh, if only. Mom, mom, mom, she will.

[ Sighs ] Nina is gonna go to prison, and once she’s gone, things are going to be better. I know it. I’m prepared to accept the consequences of my actions. My family is best served… with peter taken care of. So see to it that it happens. And, selina. The details of our original agreement still stand. If brad gets set free… …and he goes anywhere near… my grandson… …if he even utters my grandson’s name… …there will be hell to pay.

Abby: My sweet boy. Hey!

Chance: Hey.

Abby: Guess what dominic just told me.

Chance: What’d he say?

Abby: Well, he said he has his cutest little outfit on and he wants to go out right now, just the three of us. What do you think?

Chance: Oh, wow. That’s quite the speech for a kid his age.

Abby: Well, yeah, he’s clearly a genius. I was thinking we could go to society. I could show the two of you off. Oh, and you can meet my new head chef.

Chance: Oh, I didn’t know you had one.

Abby: Yes, I will fill you in on the way. I’m letting her put her stamp on the menu, and I want you to try her dishes.

Chance: Yeah, it sounds fun, baby. I just, uh…I don’t know if it’s a good idea.

Devon: Alright, man. I am very, very excited to see what you’ve come up with for tessa’s album cover.

Noah: Yeah, I mean, we had a good photo shoot earlier, but i haven’t really had time to process the images yet.

Devon: That’s — that’s not a problem, ’cause we can go through it together and we’ll get on the same page before we loop in tessa, you know? What’s wrong?

Noah: Nothing, nothing. It’s just, you know, it’s been a while since I’ve had to preview a project while I’m still creating it.

Devon: Well, I mean, that’s just ’cause I would hate for you to put in a bunch of work and find out that it’s not what I’m looking for.

Noah: I’d hate that, too.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Why do you have doubts about going to society?

Chance: Because, baby, we don’t know who’s watching. Okay? These people know who i am, and even though there’s security, I’m just concerned about your safety.

Abby: But your supervisor said we’re safe and so is the mission. I thought a nice, quiet family lunch would be a good way to ease back into things. Back to normal life.

Chance: Okay, let’s go.

Abby: Really?

Chance: Let’s go.

Abby: Ah! Yay! Okay, we’re going to society, we’re going to society. I’m gonna go get dom ready. Let’s go. Let’s go. What jacket should we wear?

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Nick: So I’ve got a dilemma, and I’m thinking you might be able to help me.

Sharon: Okay. What?

Nick: Christian needs a costume for his holiday sing thing, and I was wondering if you had any of noah’s old costumes. If I remember correctly, when noah was around christian’s age, he was like a wise man and maybe an elf?

Sharon: [ Laughs ]

Nick: What are you laughing at?

Sharon: Um, in case you haven’t noticed, our son is now a grown man, so, no, I did not keep any of those costumes. And had I, I know they would be a wreck by now.

Nick: Huh. Yeah, I didn’t think about that.

Sharon: Come on, nick. This is ridiculous. What did you really come here to talk to me about?

Amanda: So the house was built in 1897, and the city just kind of grew around it.

Phyllis: It’s amazing. Wow, look at that. It’s victorian, I love that.

[ Sighs ] The molding is beautiful.

Amanda: Oh, I know, I know. Imani and I, we just leased it today.

Phyllis: Congratulations!

Amanda: Thank you, thank you. Oh, it really is the perfect location, though. Ideal place to launch our firm.

Phyllis: Oh, great. When do you move in?

Amanda: Well, we still have some tweaking to do first. We’re choosing paint colors. Oh, actually, I could use your exquisite design taste.

Phyllis: Ah, thank you. I’ll help you with anything, definitely.

[ Exhales sharply ] What’s next?

Amanda: Um, well, you know, everything’s been going pretty smoothly. We filed the paperwork to start our practice. Imani, she — she passed the wisconsin bar on her first try.

Phyllis: Her first try?

Amanda: Yes.

Phyllis: That’s impressive.

Amanda: All systems are go.

Phyllis: Ah, great. I’m really happy for you.

Amanda: Yeah?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Amanda: Really?

Phyllis: Mm.

Amanda: ‘Cause, I don’t know, you seem a little down in the dumps.

These are the faces

Phyllis: So, I mean, it’s just jack flew to new york for a meeting with kyle. Summer confirmed it. She thought I knew.

Amanda: You —

Phyllis: Yeah, I didn’t know. I didn’t know. Jack didn’t tell me, which was weird.

Amanda: Oh, that is weird.

Phyllis: Yeah, right? And then we had this really awkward — ugh — such an awkward conversation about our friendship.

Amanda: Awkward? Awkward how?

Phyllis: Well, you know, jack wanted to talk to me privately, so we went up to my suite to talk, and he said that things have been sort of strange and weird between us since I broke up with nick.

Amanda: Well, have they been?

Phyllis: Yeah. They have. I have to admit… listen, you know, it’s — he said he had feelings for me, and I can’t forget that he said it. You know, it’s like the elephant in the room, and I can’t pretend like he didn’t say it.

Amanda: Okay, so [Sighs] What do you do now?

Phyllis: I don’t know. It’s just strange. I guess I just go with it. Do you know what I mean? Like, our friendship is so strong, and I don’t want to screw anything up, so it’ll change and evolve, and I just have to wait for it to adjust.

Amanda: Adjust? I mean, adjust as in cool down or heat up?

Nick: So I found a costume that summer had made christian a couple years ago. It definitely doesn’t fit him anymore. And I don’t know, I guess phyllis had always handled this sort of thing for me.

Sharon: Well, say no more. I would be happy to make something new for christian. I mean, as long as you don’t need it right away.

Nick: No, and I don’t mean to impose.

Sharon: You’re not imposing at all. I love that kid. You know what? I’m gonna come up with something really cute for him.

Nick: Well, you are a life-saver and everybody’s rock.

Sharon: Aww. That’s a really nice compliment and kind of out of the blue.

Nick: Well, clearly, I need to praise you more often.

Sharon: You sure you don’t need something else from me?

Nick: Like what?

Sharon: Well, maybe you need someone to lean on while you get through your break-up. You said that phyllis used to handle all these things for you. Maybe you’re feeling a little lost, and sometimes it’s the small memories that sneak up on us and really get us.

Nick: Uh, no, it’s nothing like that. I’m actually surprised at how well the parting of the ways has gone.

Sharon: Really?

Nick: Yeah. When I was looking for a costume for christian, I found some stuff that I’m sure phyllis wants, and I’m gonna take it by her place later today.

Sharon: Oh, the old “giving the ex her things back.” That can be tricky. Sometimes we do that because we’re hoping to reconnect. And other times, it’s actually to punish them. Could either of those scenarios apply to you?

Noah: You know, in london, i didn’t really have many deadlines. Set my own schedule, so what are you thinking timeline-wise? Tessa and I haven’t really discussed it.

Devon: Um…I mean…how is, uh — how’s december 22nd sound? That way you have enough time for the holidays after.

Noah: Guess it just depends on how many people have to sign off on it between now and the print run.

Devon: Well, I mean, since I’m the head of the label, if i like it, then we’ll be pretty much good to go. You know, it’ll have to pass through legal and stuff like that, but I don’t want you to feel rushed, though, if you do, ’cause I don’t want it to interfere with you putting out your best work.

Noah: I appreciate that.

Devon: Yeah, no, of course. I got to ask you, though, if you prefer autonomy, how come you left london? ‘Cause it seems like you had a great gig going on there. You could work at your own pace and getting paid for it.

Noah: It wasn’t the work. I left for personal reasons.

Devon: Oh. Okay, I’ll leave that right there. Um…assuming you’re still on board, let’s take a look at what you got.

Noah: Yeah, let’s do it.

Abby: Welcome to mommy’s restaurant. Isn’t it incredible? Ooh, and the food is so good. Although you can’t try it for quite a while, but you’ll just have to take my word for it.

Chance: Hey, you better listen up to your mom. She knows exactly what she’s talking about, bud.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Tonight is gonna be so great. I’m so happy that you’re here. We’re gonna keep it super low-profile. I just want chef pamela to meet you, and she’s gonna make us one of everything on the menu. Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.

Chance: Well, seeing you smile has already made my time worthwhile.

Abby: Mm.

Mariah: Chance? Is that really you?

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Mariah: [ Gasps ] Need long-lasting freshness?

Chance: Wow, it’s so good to see both of you.

Tessa: Yeah, you too.

Chance: Yeah, how are you? How’re you doing?

Mariah: I’m just kind of in shock right now. I mean, I know you were home, obviously. I just — I didn’t expect to see you out so soon.

Chance: Yeah, I’m having that effect on some people these days.

Mariah: Well, I wanted to come by the house to say hi, but I know you guys needed time to settle back in.

Chance: Oh, no, no, no, it’s totally okay. I, uh — I’m actually glad that we ran into you. You’ve been on my mind, and i just wanted to thank you for everything that you’ve done for us, really. Abby told me what happened, and I’m so sorry. That’s so terrible, what you went through, and I’m just sorry that I wasn’t here to protect you or to prevent it from happening in the first place.

Mariah: Well, the kidnapping, it’s — it’s in the past. You know, I’m — I’m really trying to move on with my life and I’ve been able to, thanks to the love and support of everybody around me, especially tessa. What matters is that dominic was safe and healthy.

Abby: Don’t sell yourself short. You kept our baby safe and healthy during a really hard time. We could never thank you enough.

Chance: He’s a beautiful boy. I’m blessed. Well, on that note, would you guys like to join us? Please do.

Tessa: Oh, well, actually, we’re here for a working lunch.

[ Chuckles ] Mariah’s gonna help me pick out a new photo for my lp.

Abby: [ Gasps ] Oh, my gosh. Well, clearly, we are so excited.

[ Laughter ] Oh, yeah? For you new album. I would love to throw you an album release party.

Tessa: Oh, oh, that’s so kind of you, but, you know, I’m just gonna let devon handle that stuff. You know, they — they usually do that, right?

Abby: Yeah, totally, but if you change your mind, the offer stands. I am gonna get my two handsome men back there. We’re gonna go meet our executive chef. And, yeah, we need to go while dominic is in a good place. Huh, buddy?

[ Laughter ]

Mariah: Well, have fun, you guys.

Abby: You too. And, hey, I would love to send you guys our tasting menu, the one that we’re gonna have. My treat.

Tessa: Oh, my gosh, that’s so generous.

Mariah: That’s very sweet of you, abby. Thank you.

Abby: Of course. My pleasure. Let’s go. Say bye!

Chance: See ya.

Tessa: Well, the man looks good, considering.

Mariah: Did he seem a little off to you?

Tessa: Well, what chance went through was a lot. It’s gonna take a lot of time for him to feel safe again. Kind of like you.

Mariah: What I went through was horrible. What chance went through was unimaginable.

Nick: Alright, you’re doing it again.

Sharon: [ Chuckles ] What?

Nick: Looking too far into things. I’m not taking phyllis her stuff because I’m trying to reconnect with her or because I want to punish her. Just trying to save her a trip, that’s it.

Sharon: Mm-hmm. Well, you may feel right now that you won’t be affected when you go do this, but it could trigger some unexpected feelings, so just be prepared.

Nick: Alright, I’ve been warned. Thank you. Let’s not talk about it anymore.

Sharon: Okay.

Nick: I’ll see you later.

Sharon: Alright.

Phyllis: By “adjust,” I mean get used to it.

Amanda: Get used to what? Jack’s affection for you? Your affection for jack? Or the fact that it’s not platonic and you have absolutely no idea what to do next?

Phyllis: None of the above.

Amanda: Oh, is that so?

Phyllis: Yeah. Hey, listen, jack and I have a very good friendship, and i don’t want to do anything to screw that up. It’s very important to me. Very important. And in fact, jack said to me that he doesn’t want to get his heart broken by me again, so…

Amanda: How did you feel about that?

Phyllis: I agree. I don’t want to do that to him. So, listen, I’m just gonna get through this awkward phase because it really is awkward, and the whole thing will just work itself out.

Amanda: You know, it’s funny because I didn’t ask you what you should do. I asked you what you truly, deep-down want. Do you want to reignite things with jack?

Find your rhythm. You so upset that jack went toI respect our friendship, and i

Phyllis: Listen, amanda.

Phyllis: Listen, amanda. Every instinct I have is telling me to leave this alone. I’m not getting back together with jack. I respect our friendship, and i don’t want to hurt him again.

Amanda: If keeping things in the friend zone really was a mutual decision, then why were you so upset that jack went to new york and didn’t tell you? Because it seems to me like jack is doing exactly what he agreed to. He’s letting the relationship breathe so it can go back to normal. Would you expect a friend to tell you when they’re going away on a business trip? No. Or maybe the decision wasn’t mutual and it feels a little more like a rejection.

Phyllis: A rejection — listen to you. You are my friend, right?

Amanda: Believe it or not, this is me being a friend. Answer the question.

Phyllis: Listen, jack said that he doesn’t want a relationship with me. He said he doesn’t want his heart hurt again, and I went with it. Okay? I would kill me if I hurt him again. Really, it would kill me.

Nick: I don’t mean to barge in.

Amanda: Yeah, no worries. I’m gonna head out. Call me if you need to talk, okay?

Phyllis: Oh, I will. I will.

Amanda: Okay. Nick.

Nick: Hey.

[ Sighs ]

Phyllis: What’s that?

Nick: Just some of your stuff I wanted to return to you.

Devon: I’m very impressed with what I see.

Noah: I’m relieved to hear you say that.

Devon: Yeah, man. What’s striking is — is how you’ve really — you’ve captured tessa in every single one of those photos. Go back to the proofs real quick.

Noah: Yeah, sure.

Devon: Like this one right here. There — there’s so much soul in her eyes that you got. You can hear her single just by looking at it.

Noah: Yeah, that’s my favorite, too.

Devon: These are all great. Really great. I’m happy that tessa suggested you for the artwork, man. I was hesitant at first, given our history, but…

Noah: History… oh, you mean you dating mariah, me dating tessa before they fell for each other? That history?

Devon: That’s what I’m talking about.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Feels like a lifetime ago, man.

Noah: I mean, it kind of was.

Devon: Uh-huh. Yeah, mariah and tessa, though, they’re still going strong. They’re doing real strong. But looking at these pictures, you can tell, even after all this time, man, you really — you really get tessa.

Noah: I mean, she’s fearless, putting herself out there like that. Very accessible.

Devon: I always kind of thought that she was a bit guarded and hard to read. But she’s — she’s obviously comfortable with showing a more open side to you. It’s nice.

Noah: Nah, it’s not me. It’s just the camera.

Tessa: You hate them.

Mariah: No, it’s actually the opposite. I love every single one of these.

Tessa: Really?

Mariah: Yeah. You know what? It reminds me of your early days, when you were performing at the underground and I would hide in the back and watch you.

Tessa: Yeah, except you couldn’t hide because there was only three people there.

[ Both laugh ]

Mariah: Wow, noah really captured something.

Tessa: Well, the way he got me to relax was actually talking about you. So if you see anything special in these proofs, it’s my love for you.

Abby: I want your unbiased opinion. We have finally transitioned to pamela’s menu and all of her dishes, although we still have a few of the favorites from when lola was here.

Chance: Well, everything’s so delicious, baby, really.

Abby: Really? Because it was a struggle to find a replacement for lola.

Chance: I still can’t believe that she would walk away like that. I mean, that must’ve been a real blow to you and society, you know?

Abby: Yeah, it was, but the opportunity in miami was stellar. I couldn’t stand in her way.

Chance: Well, you are a good person.

Abby: [ Chuckles ] Oh, I don’t know about that, but, you know, I used to be pretty selfish until I met you. You made me a better human being.

Chance: Nah, nah, I can’t take credit for that. I’m no saint.

Abby: Hey. What happened in spain was not your fault.

Chance: That’s not really what I was thinking about.

Dominic: [ Crying ]

Chance: Hey, buddy.

Abby: Shh.

Chance: Hey. Hey, you’re okay. Nope

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Abby: You guys taking off?

Tessa: Yes, and everything was so amazing. Thank you.

Abby: Oh, well, good. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Mariah: It’s so amazing to see you back home with abby and dominic. The three of you make a beautiful picture.

Chance: Well, we have you to thank for that, mariah. And just know, you can come visit dominic any time you’d like. You’re part of the family now.

Mariah: Alright, bye, guys.

Tessa: Bye.

Chance: Did I say something wrong there?

Abby: No, no. Of course not. It’s just, well, mariah, she developed a very strong bond with dominic when they were being kept prisoner by stitch, and then after she had the baby, she had a really hard time letting go.

Chance: Oh. Well, that doesn’t surprise me. I mean, alone for that long, terrified, feeling responsible for protecting a baby. She was carrying our baby. I mean, that’s rough. Dom was the only connection she had.

Abby: Is that what it was like for you after the explosion?

Chance: Yeah. Yeah, if kim hadn’t been there, I — I’m sure I would’ve lost my mind.

Abby: Well, I am so thankful for her. I don’t know what I would’ve done if she hadn’t saved you. Are you thinking about all your team members, the ones who weren’t saved?

Chance: Yeah, always. Every minute of every day.

Abby: I just — I wish i could say something to make you feel better.

Chance: No, there’s just some wounds that words can’t heal.

[ Sighs ]

Amanda: [ Sighs ]

Devon: Hey, you.

Amanda: Hey. Oh, I’m sorry. I can head upstairs if you guys are having a meeting.

Devon: No, it’s fine, we’re just wrapping up. Let me introduce you two. Amanda sinclair — mwah — this is noah newman.

Amanda: Ah, noah.

Noah: Nice to meet you.

Amanda: Newman — the artist, right? You did the art installation for victor’s tribute.

Noah: Yes, I did.

Amanda: It was brilliant. Lights and shadows.

Devon: He’s designing tessa’s album cover. It’s gonna be a work of art.

Amanda: Oh.

Noah: Well, I hope so.

Amanda: Well, I am opening a new law firm downtown. I mean, I know you’re probably way too busy to even consider designing a corporate id package, but, you know, if you’re looking for a new project, let me know.

Noah: Thank you. I’ll keep that in mind.

Amanda: Okay.

Noah: But now that we’ve met up, I’ll talk to tessa and show her the images, see which ones she likes. Hopefully she likes them as much as we did.

Devon: Thanks, man.

Noah: Thank you, man.

Devon: Appreciate it.

Noah: Nice meeting you.

Amanda: Yes, you too.

Devon: What are you smiling about?

Amanda: I don’t know. I like watching you in action.

Devon: You do?

Amanda: Yeah, I do.

Devon: Really?

Amanda: And I don’t see you in work mode very often. But look at you, you’re good at handling the creative folks.

[ Both laugh ]

Devon: Well, I’m more accustomed to the musicians, but…

Amanda: Yeah, well, noah, he seemed relaxed and he seemed to trust you.

Devon: Yeah, well, we’ve known each other for a while. Took a second with the images, but I think we came to a good understanding.

Amanda: Mm, well, it does take a certain skill-set to manage artists. You know, one part charm, one part flattery, one part authenticity. Making sure that they know that their work is valued and also coaxing the best out of them, and, you know, giving them a certain sense of flexibility.

Devon: You got all that from just watching me for a few minutes.

Amanda: I don’t know what to say, it’s my superpower.

Devon: [ Chuckles ] You’re in a very happy mood today. I know it can’t just be from watching me and my great managerial skills, so…

Amanda: Well, life is good. Really good. In fact, I want to take you out to lunch to celebrate.

Nick: Just, you know, found some stuff I thought you might want back.

Phyllis: I’ve been looking for this all over the place.

Nick: I know it’s not one of your go-to looks. That’s probably why it was buried in the back of the closet.

Phyllis: This doesn’t spark joy for you?

Nick: No, I used to love watching you fill that up with coffee every day and constantly reminding me of who exactly was in charge. You never got tired of that joke.

Phyllis: Wasn’t a joke.

Nick: You know what? Doesn’t seem like it’s super sentimental. I could’ve just tossed it.

Phyllis: This is loaded with “prime aggression 6.” This is — I mean, this was my valentine’s day gift to you.

Nick: I mean, it’s your favorite game. You should have it.

Phyllis: Yeah, but I gave this to you for valentine’s day. I mean, this was the greatest valentine’s day gift ever. I mean, besides that sign you got me from pepe’s roadhouse.

Nick: Where we had our first wedding.

Phyllis: I’m glad that sign isn’t in the box.

Nick: Wouldn’t fit. Smooth dark chocolate, refreshing peppermint,

Nick: [ Sighs ] You know, I’m sorry I brought this and made things…

Phyllis: I’m glad you brought it. It means that we weren’t wasting our time. It’s very sentimental.

Nick: I have never, ever thought that any time we spent together was a waste, and i never will.

Phyllis: I never will either. So how are you doing? Has the tension in your family eased up?

Nick: Well, I’m mostly avoiding them. Does that count?

Phyllis: Uh-huh, it does, because it’s basically what I’ve been telling you to do all along.

[ Chuckles ] Um, listen, I noticed that you came by chance’s party and you didn’t stay long.

Nick: Yeah, ashland’s trying to play, like, peacemaker between me and vick.

Phyllis: How’d that go?

Nick: Not great. Vick accused me of pushing everyone away in my life, including you.

Noah: Hey, mom.

Sharon: Hey.

Noah: Have you seen tessa?

Sharon: Uh, not since the shoot. She and mariah went to society to grab lunch and review the photos that you sent them. And clearly they didn’t want me looking over their shoulder, giving my two cents.

Noah: Really?

Sharon: Well, I do want to see your work. Maybe if I’m lucky, you’ll show me.

Noah: Oh, I just left a meeting with devon to get his thoughts, but I think it’s only fair that tessa and I have a chance to review before my mom weighs in.

Sharon: Well, it was worth a shot.

Noah: No pun intended.

Sharon: [ Laughs ] Look at you, all fired up. Maybe this project was just the boost you needed.

Noah: Mom, I told you, you don’t have to worry about me, okay? I’m doing fine. I just needed to get re-acclimated from london and start working again.

Sharon: Who’s worried? I’m delighted to see you doing something that you’re really enjoying.

Noah: Yeah, this album, it’s — it’s really got my creative juices flowing again. Thanks to tessa. She makes it easy.

Amanda: Got everything?

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Abby: [ Gasps ]

Amanda: Oh.

Devon: Hey, look who’s out and about.

Abby: Yes, yes, past tense. We are heading out. Dominic’s a little fussy.

Devon: Oh. How you, uh — how you settling back in to the life in town, man?

Chance: Not bad, man. One day at a time, right?

Devon: Yeah. How you doing, little guy? What’s up? Mommy says you’re being fussy. Don’t do that.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Don’t do that.

Abby: Oh, I wish I knew your secret, especially at 3:00 A.M.

[ Chuckles ]

Amanda: Yeah, when dom was at our place, devon had the magic touch.

Devon: Oh. Well, I’m just that boring, I’ll put any baby to sleep, you know?

Chance: Well, we should probably get him back.

Abby: Yeah, yeah. Bye.

Devon: Okay.

Amanda: Bye.

Devon: See you guys.

Abby: See ya.

Devon: Bye, buddy.

Abby: Say bye!

Amanda: Are you okay?

Devon: Yeah, of course. Read my eyes.

Phyllis: Well, victoria doesn’t know anything about our relationship. She’s not one to judge.

Nick: And now you know why i left early.

Phyllis: Well, I’m sorry you had to deal with that.

Nick: Hey, it goes with the territory, you know? This avoidance strategy I’m using right now is eventually gonna have to end. I’m gonna have to try and work things out with my dad, but for now, just happy to be focusing on new hope and christian, and faith’s doing very well. Absolutely love having noah at home.

Phyllis: You’re lucky to have your kids home. I really miss summer. I miss daniel.

Nick: I know.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Phyllis: Is there a problem?

Nick: Uh, something’s up. I got to go.

Phyllis: Oh, okay. I hope it’s not serious.

Nick: Yeah, me too.

Phyllis: Thanks for bringing this stuff by.

Nick: Yeah, no problem. Okay, I’ll, uh… bye.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Mariah: I agree with noah. Tessa is an ideal subject. But the photos that you took were phenomenal. It was hard to choose just one.

Tessa: But we did, and I hope it’s the same one that you liked.

Noah: There is one that I’m leaning towards, and I just had a great meeting with devon and he agreed.

Tessa: What, you — wait, you chose without me?

Noah: No, no, no, no, it wasn’t anything like that. He just — he wanted to see where I was going with this, make sure he liked my take.

Sharon: And it sounds like he did.

Noah: Yeah, definitely. You know, but, tess, you are in complete creative control. I mean, you’re the artist, you’re the songwriter. This whole project is about you. You have final say. I am just working in service of your vision.

Tessa: Okay, cool.

Mariah: Well, come on, enough with the suspense. Show him which one you like.

Tessa: Okay. Um…

Noah: [ Chuckles ] Well, that’s a relief.

Tessa: What, really? No way, we chose the same one?

Noah: Yeah, mind meld. It’s a beautiful thing.

Tessa: [ Laughs ]

Sharon: Well, congratulations. Now, can I see? Oh, my gosh. Noah, that is stunning.

Noah: And the mom vote clinches it. Number 17, unanimous, case closed.

Tessa: Hooray!

[ Laughs ]

Mariah: Well, that’s a great collaboration that you guys did. It seems like you’re off to a great start. Unfortunately, I have to get back to work, so I will see you later, okay?

Tessa: Okay.

Mariah: Bye.

Noah: See ya. Really, you thought I’d choose one without you?

Tessa: Yeah.

[ Laughter ] Hey, is everything okay?

Mariah: Yeah, everything’s great. It’s just it’s nice to see you laughing and happy.

Tessa: Well, I am happy and giddy and in love.

Amanda: I am already getting calls from potential clients who’ve heard that I’m opening my own practice. Can you believe it?

Devon: Yeah, of course I can believe it, yeah. You know who you are? Did you forget?

Amanda: Wow, there’s that charm I was talking about.

Devon: No, I’m being sincere.

Amanda: [ Sighs ] Well, at this rate, we are gonna be backlogged before the paint is even dry. Oh, speaking of which, did you get a chance to look at the paint colors that I told you about? I mean, I really love the dove gray, but imani wants to go with something bolder. You know that there are consultants for this? Like, not just designers, actual consultants. Like, real specialists. Imani, she knows this paint guru who charges more per hour than most lawyers do. I mean, I told her that I’m pretty sure that we could pick a paint color on our own. Right?

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Amanda: Wow, your eyes are glazing over.

Devon: No.

Amanda: I was talking about throw pillows and wallpaper — the kiss of death.

Devon: I’m listening to what you’re saying, I am. It was — you said something about a bird.

Amanda: A bird? Dove gray.

Devon: Dove gray.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ] Okay, never mind. I know your mind’s been somewhere else ever since we sat down.

Devon: I’m sorry.

Amanda: No, you don’t have to be sorry. You thinking about dominic?

Devon: I’m not, actually. I was thinking about chance. Um…how did he seem to you when we saw him? Did he seem a little uneasy being out in public?

Amanda: Not more than expected.

Devon: No?

Amanda: No, I don’t — I mean, this is — I don’t even think it’s about being in public, you know? He’s a brand-new dad and he’s getting used to the baby that he just met for the first time.

Devon: Yeah. I know, I just can’t help but worry.

Amanda: About what?

Devon: About dominic, ’cause, you know, it reminds me of when abby was grieving and just knowing the babies pick up on every little thing. And I — I don’t want to think about dominic taking in his parents’ stress.

Chance: Hey, big guy. Who’s my big dude? You’re my big dude.

Abby: I hate to interrupt this, but somebody needs a nap.

Chance: It’s nap time.

Abby: It’s nap time.

Chance: Oh, my gosh.

Abby: Come here.

Chance: Go nap it up.

Abby: Say “see you after, dad.”

Chance: See you, bud. Hey. Oh, yeah. Have a good nap.

Abby: [ Chuckles ] Let’s go nap it up, huh?

Chance: [ Exhales sharply ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone rings ] Hey, mom. Oh, yeah, I’m good, I’m good. How’s australia? Well, good. That’s awesome. No, no, I wish you wouldn’T. I’m okay. I promise. Yes, yes, I mean it. Well, no, you don’t have to rush back right now, okay? You just got there. It’s a long trip, too. Don’t worry about it. Yeah, everything’s — everything’s good. Everything’s good. Okay, I love you. I miss you like crazy, and i promise you I’m fine.

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Billy: I’m in control, okay? I have never been more focused in my life.

Lily: Well, if that’s true, then there’s something I want you to do and you’re not gonna like it.

Elena: Wait, what?

Nate: You heard me.

Elena: Are you asking me to move in with you?

Devon: Hey, are you okay? You doing alright? ‘Cause it kind of seems like you’re not.

Chelsea: So tell me, what did I miss?

Victoria: Oh!

[ Gasps ] How lovely.

[ Chuckles ] Well, what is this about?

Ashland: It’s about me being thankful for every day of my life that I have with you.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Ashland: And how thankful i am. And I just got some results back from my oncologist. There’s been no further spread of the cancer.

Victoria: [ Gasps ] Oh, my god! It’s everything that we were hoping for.

Ashland: Well, just hold on. I mean, it’s not a diagnosis of remission yet, but…the news is positive and it’s as good as we can hope for this early in the treatments.

Victoria: We need to celebrate.

[ Knock on door ]

Ashland: Love the idea.

Lily: Hello. Sorry, I hope I’m not interrupting. Victoria, I needed to discuss something with you.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Oh, this is, um — this is perfect. This is really wonderful. You’re exactly who I want to see.

Adam: Little early for that, don’t you think?

Billy: You don’t want to know what I’m thinking, adam. Adam newman, thank you for your — your guidance and your insight, mr. Media mogul. Oh, hold on a second. Who’s that? Oh! Your daddy’s calling for you.

Adam: Yeah. Drinking alone at the bar — why am I not surprised, billy? I mean, after such a swift and spectacular fall, no one could blame you for losing it a bit.

Tessa: Hey, sharon.

Sharon: Hey.

Tessa: How’s it going?

Sharon: Pretty good. I’m excited about the holidays right around the corner.

Tessa: Yeah, here before you know it.

Sharon: You know, I’m kind of struggling with getting the perfect gift for mariah. Um…do you have any ideas? Has she mentioned anything?

Tessa: Not specifically. But I’m sure that you’re gonna come up with just the right thing.

Sharon: Well, let me know if she drops any hints.

Tessa: Yes, for sure. I’m sure that you are so excited to have noah home for the holidays.

Sharon: Yeah, it’s gonna be wonderful having the kids with me this christmas. You know, I’ve always supported and encouraged the kids to follow their dreams, wherever that may take them, but I am hoping that noah makes this a permanent move.

Noah: Hey, guys. What did I just walk in on?

Mariah: Yeah. Okay, that sounds great. I will send out an e-mail this afternoon confirming with everybody. Alright, bye.

Victor: Well, mariah, how nice to see you. You were missed last night at the party we gave for chance, you know.

Mariah: Oh, yeah, I’m — I’m so sorry I couldn’t make it. Um, I just got caught up with work and I couldn’t get away. You know how crazy busy things get before the holidays.

Victor: I certainly do, yeah.

Mariah: But I’m so sorry that I missed it. You know, it’s amazing that chance is alive and well and he’s back with abby and the baby.

Victor: It is just absolutely stunning and we are all overjoyed, you know?

Mariah: Yeah, bowie is so lucky to have both of his parents.

Victor: Bowie?

Mariah: “Bowie” is just this little nickname that I gave the baby while I was carrying him. You know, got hard to keep calling him “little man” or “hey, you.”

Victor: I see. Bowie, that’s cute. I know that chance and abby are eternally grateful to you. After everything you’ve gone through, you delivered the child safely to them. And I’m sure that chance would have loved to tell you that in person.

Mariah: How is he, by the way? I know he went through such an ordeal.

Victor: Well, so have you. I will never forget what you have gone through to deliver that child. And I will see to it that you get justice. If you ever need anything, anything at all…

Mariah: I’m fine. Victor, thank you, though. I really appreciate, you know? I’m just trying to move on with my life.

Victor: I’m glad to hear that. Just know that you and chance will always be loved and supported by the entire family. Okay? Now, I have a meeting to go to, and I don’t want you to be late for whatever you have to do. Don’t forget my promise, okay?

Mariah: Absolutely.

Victor: Okay. Nice to see you. And thank you.

Sharon: Oh, I was just talking christmas present ideas with tessa. But don’t you try to get any information out of us.

Noah: Oh, got it. No, I wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise anyway.

Sharon: [ Chuckles ] Excuse me, I have some work to do.

Noah: Hey, let’s grab a table. I have some ideas about your album I want to run by you.

Tessa: Okay. Great. I can’t wait to hear.

Noah: So I want to take some photos of you, and then choose the strongest out of the bunch to build off of. Now, I really want to capture you at your most honest and raw, just like your songs. You know, stripped down, simple, in a beautiful way. I think your album cover should reflect that place deep down inside that inspires you.

Tessa: Oh, sounds intense. Cool.

Sharon: You’ve come a long way from that young woman busking by the patio.

Tessa: Yeah, I mean, yeah, I guess there’s been a lot of changes, but there’s still that person in me. You know, that’s the part of me that feels passion about my music and what I want to say, even if it’s just an audience of one.

Noah: I got it. I got it. I know exactly what I want to do with you and just how to get there.

Ashland: Look, victoria, we can finish discussing this later. I’ll let you two talk. Bye. Excuse me.

Victoria: Well, congratulations on your pending appointment to the top spot at chancellor industries.

Lily: Thank you. It’s quite an honor.

Victoria: You know, despite everything that’s happened, I — I have a tremendous respect for you, and not just as a businesswoman.

Lily: Wow, thank you for saying that. It’s very kind. And I also really appreciate you trying to buy chanccomm, ’cause if it were to end up in adam’s hands, that would make my blood boil, so I really hope that you and ashland are stilling to acquire it.

Victoria: Yes, it is a possibility. How is billy doing? I know this must be a difficult time for him.

Lily: Well, actually, that’s why I’m here. I wanted to talk to you about something, and just so you know, this is really hard for me. I wasn’t sure if I should even discuss this with you.

Victoria: Well, you’re here now, so…

Lily: Uh, I know billy really well, and even though he’s trying to hide it, I can tell that he’s devastated by this. And I know that you’ve lived through something like this with him before, but I haven’t, so this is new territory for me.

Victoria: And you’re worried that he’s gonna fall back into his old addictive, self-destructive behaviors.

Billy: You know, I’d think you’d be proud of me. I have a full-time job — making sure you and victor don’t get your grimy little fingers all over chanccomm.

Adam: Well, you don’t have any leverage left in that department. In fact, you don’t have any leverage left in any department, do you?

Billy: Goodbye, adam.

Adam: Okay, I mean, billy, why couldn’t you just leave well enough alone? You just had to mess with victoria’s future. I mean, did you really think that she would appreciate that you still have a protective streak in you? Well, surprise — she didn’T.

Billy: [ Scoffs ] I said goodbye.

Adam: And we know ashland doesn’t respond well to attacks, so you pretty much just set yourself up. And now you’ve blown your one chance to prove that you could be a leader.

Billy: Yeah. So I guess I’m the lost cause that you think I am.

Adam: [ Sighs ] It’s too bad, especially given everything you’ve already had to face.

Billy: Honestly, it doesn’t matter what I face. It’s still better than being you. Excuse me. Can I get another apple juice please? Thanks. No one can deliver your mom’s homemade short ribs.

Noah: Alright, so here’s what I’m thinking. I want to shoot you out here, you know, where you used to perform before making it big. I really want to capture the energy and the spirit of that time.

Tessa: I love it. Recreate the vibe.

Noah: Yeah, I mean, it’s in your soul. It’s who you are.

Tessa: It’s where I’m from.

Noah: Hey, mom, do you mind if we close off the patio to customers for a bit?

Sharon: Absolutely. I’ll put a sign on that door so that customers will know to come in the front.

Tessa: Uh, so what do you think of what I’m wearing?

Noah: It’s perfect.

Tessa: Oh, cool, so I don’t have to go back and change.

[ Both chuckle ]

Noah: See, this — this is how I like to work. You know, no one looking over my shoulder, micro-managing my every move.

Tessa: Oh, yeah, me too.

Noah: You know, speaking of micro-managing, adam actually asked me to do some more freelance work for newman media.

Tessa: Well, that’s a good thing, right?

Noah: I don’t know.

Sharon: I think it’s a great idea. It’s an excellent opportunity for you to showcase your amazing talent, and you’re gonna get well paid for it. And you’re gonna be contributing to a family business.

Noah: Yeah, but, on the other hand, it’s adam.

Tessa: Yeah, that could be a deal-breaker.

Sharon: Well, I don’t think you should just write him off like that, you know? You could at least give him some credit for the positive changes he’s made.

Noah: Oh, in comparison to everything else he’s done to us?

Sharon: Look, I know better than anyone how toxic any relationship with adam can be, but I’m sincerely convinced that he’s determined to live his life differently now. He’s working hard on overcoming his old destructive ways, and i think that you’ve seen some of that, too.

Noah: Look, I appreciate what he did for faith, I really do, but I don’t know if I buy that he’s a completely different person now.

Sharon: Okay, well, do me a favor — just approach this like any other job offer. Look at the work and don’t base your decision on things that adam’s done in the past. Base it on who he is right now. Can you promise you’ll try to do that?

Adam: Is it finished? Alright, good, I need it as soon as possible.

[ Telephone rings ] Yeah. Yeah, we’re working on that right now. I should have it by this afternoon. Right. Alright, thanks.

Victor: Hey, son.

Adam: [ Exhales sharply ] I was beginning to think you were avoiding me.

Victor: Now, why would I be avoiding you? I’ve been dealing abby’s and then chance’s return, okay? So what’s the reason for the urgency?

Adam: Chanccomm. There’s no time to waste. We have to put together a strong proposal, something aggressive, that will knock jill’s socks off, especially since we’re gonna be dealing with highly motivated competition.

Victor: Right. Now, about that, I’ve decided to let victoria bid for chanccomm without our interference.

Adam: What changed your mind?

Lily: I’ve never seen billy like this before, and I want to be prepared for what might come.

Victoria: You want to know the warning signs, if he’s falling back into his old bad habits.

Lily: Yeah, I’m sure you thought of the possibility that billy could backslide if he lost chanccomm. Which I’m assuming is one of the reasons why you offered to buy, to keep it out of adam’s hands. Because if adam were to have it, then he would just rub it in billy’s face.

Victoria: And that could serve to push billy even closer to the edge, if not over it.

Lily: Yeah, and I feel like billy looks at what’s happened as already a huge failure.

Victoria: He brought a lot of this on himself. As you know, he used that damning and unsubstantiated evidence against ashland to try to blackmail my father and my brother.

Lily: [ Scoffs ] Okay, well, victoria, let’s be honest. All of that information was true. I mean, I don’t condone the way that billy chose to use it, and, yes, he’s paying the price, but do you really feel like the punishment matches the crime, that he should just lose everything?

Victoria: I had no idea that billy would take the initiative and step down on his own.

Lily: Well, you made it very clear that if you and ashland were to purchase chanccomm, that he would be out. I mean, sometimes I really feel like you only want to help billy when it benefits you. But doesn’t the father of your children deserve better?

Victoria: What are you really doing here, lily? Did you want my advice or did you want to rake me over the coals? Psoriatic arthritis, made my joints stiff,…

Victoria: I am not gonna get into justifying my actions as ceo of newman/locke. However, I will tell you what to look for if billy suffers a relapse.

Lily: Thank you. I appreciate that.

Victoria: Well, first of all, there will be times when he’ll just go missing. And his excuses for where he’s been, they just won’t add up. There will be inconsistencies to his stories. You’ll know that he’s lying to you.

Lily: Do you mean, like, outright lying to my face?

Victoria: Yes. He will start drinking again at odd hours of the day and night, but most of all, there will be times when he’s on a manic high, like he’s on top of the world and he’s completely invincible. Everyone is wrong, and yet he is right and no one can see it but him.

Lily: Wow, I mean, I knew it could be bad, but this sounds pretty ugly.

Victoria: Yes. Well, any combination of these signs means that he’s headed for a fall. And I truly hope that if you see any patterns like this, you’ll let me know. I have the children to think about.

Lily: Yeah, absolutely. Um, thank you so much for your candor. And please let this conversation stay between us.

Victoria: Of course.

Lily: Have a good day.

Adam: By all means, hand victoria a competing media company on a silver platter. I mean, you have to know that she’s gonna use chanccomm to come after us just like billy did.

Victor: I’m doing this for victoria, son. Let her have this win, okay? She should never have sold the media division of newman enterprises to billy boy in the first place.

Adam: She claimed that cutting that division loose was a business move, like it was some part of a restructuring deal, but really, what it was, dad, is a gift to billy.

Victor: Well, now it goes back to newman enterprises where it belonged in the first place.

Adam: So let me get this straight — victoria’s lousy decision gets made right for her and I just continue having to be the scrappy underdog.

Victor: Just remember, son, people always root for the underdog.

Adam: I just can’t help but wonder if you have another motive. One that you’re not sharing with me. You hoping for a media war with your children? Is this another one of your little tests?

Noah: So just set yourself up the way you did back in the day when you were playing for spare change.

[ Chuckles ]

Tessa: Uh…okay. Hmm.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

Noah: Alright, good. Good. And you know what? Feel free to play a little bit if it makes you feel more comfortable.

[ Playing guitar ]

[ Camera shutter clicking ] So how’s it feel recreating the past?

Tessa: Uh, it feels like, um…I’m tapping back into something that I didn’t know was still there.

Noah: It’s nice to let the soul guide you sometimes, you know, follow your gut emotions.

Tessa: Yeah, I mean, that’s how I write. You know, the best things come from, I don’t know — from my heart.

Noah: Same here. Now, I’m assuming for you it’s that first right note, but for me, it’s that first perfect image. After that, I know everything else I do will be good.

Tessa: Yeah, yeah, no, exactly.

Noah: That’s what makes you such an incredible artist — that passion you have for your music, it comes through every lyric, every strum of the guitar. I saw that gift at your first session at devon’s studio.

Tessa: Oh, wow. You remember that.

[ Laughs ] I was such a nervous wreck.

Noah: I know, but you worked through it. Released your first single, and the rest is history. I was so proud of you. Mariah was, too. You know, she was there that day because devon, he knew you’d want her there. I guess he saw that connection back then.

Tessa: Yeah, I mean, mariah’s been there through this entire crazy, wild ride. We’ve been through so much together.

Noah: Tell me about that.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Tessa: I mean, I can’t believe how lucky I am to have mariah in my life. None of this would’ve happened without her love and support. She believed in me when I barely believed in myself.

Noah: Yeah, everyone needs a mariah in their life.

Tessa: Yeah. [ Chuckles ] There was this, um, music producer, and, yeah, she kept overproducing my songs and she wanted me to have this image that just wasn’t who I wanted to be. And mariah was the one who gave me confidence to stand up to her. She encouraged me to be who i am.

Noah: And look how that worked out.

Tessa: Yeah, I know, it really did. Funny enough, mariah produced a music video where I performed in public places.

[ Both chuckle ] On a rooftop, on a fire escape, on a swing.

Noah: Great minds.

Tessa: You know, I — I don’t think that I really knew what it was to be in love or to be loved unconditionally.

[ Camera shutter clicks ] It’s, uh, exhilarating, but it’s hard, too. Especially when you see your person hurting and there’s nothing you can do to take the pain away. All you can do is hurt with them and feel all the things that they’re feeling, including the kind of love that just consumes you and gets into your very being and fills you up. And when times are good, it makes you so happy that your heart aches.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

[ Knock on door ]

Ashland: Did you and lily get things straightened out?

Victoria: Well, she came to me because she’s worried about billy and what this huge reversal might do to him emotionally.

Ashland: A fear that you also share.

Victoria: Yes, but lily has never dealt with billy falling off the wagon. So she wanted my advice and my insight on what the warning signs might be.

Ashland: Must not have been easy for her to come to you like this.

Victoria: But that just shows you how concerned she is about the place that he’s in. She asked me to say nothing to him about our conversation.

Ashland: Well, and what did you tell her?

Victoria: Well, I shared with her what to look out for, even though no one can be truly prepared for something like that. You know, the whole conversation reminded me how bad things can get. Billy can turn into a completely different person. You know, I am more convinced now that sending the kids to boarding school after the holidays, it’s the right thing to do.

Ashland: And have you talked to billy about that?

Victoria: No, not yet. It’s gonna be a difficult conversation, but I have to make him see that it’s for the best.

Lily: Hey, sorry I’m late.

Billy: It’s okay, no worries.

Lily: I’m sure you’re feeling pretty awful.

Billy: I’m fine. Right now I’m focused on getting back at the bastards who are responsible for driving me out of here in the first place.

Lily: I know. I know that you’re determined to go through with your plan.

Billy: Laid a little bit of ground work. Ran into adam, and right now he believes that I’m the mess that he’s expecting me to be. Bought it hook, line, and sinker, and he was loving every minute of it. Pretty sure he believes I’m falling off the rails right now, and it was his doing. And I bet he’s trying real hard to figure out how to best exploit me.

Lily: Well, good. That’s what you want.

Billy: Yeah, well, adam and victor were pretty sure that i was gonna spiral out of control, and that’s what I’m gonna let them believe. That I am blowing up my life. That’s the plan.

Lily: Well, I also had a very interesting conversation today with victoria.

Billy: Really? Did she track you down or is she still thinking about putting in a bid for chanccomm?

Lily: We chatted about that briefly, but, no, I went to go see her.

Billy: Okay. Why?

Lily: To ask what the warning signs might be.

Billy: Warning signs of what?

Lily: Well, I wanted to know what to look out for in case you start to backslide.

Billy: Are you worried about me? Lily, do you think that I’m actually gonna fall apart? (Vo) try all cinnamon toast crunch flavors, blasted with cinnadust! I wish we had a sled as fast as cricket 5g.

Sharon: Mariah, what are you doing here? Noah and tessa are out on the patio doing a photo shoot.

Mariah: Yeah, I know. I just, uh, watched them for a little bit. But I didn’t want to interrupt the creative flow. I am sure noah’s gonna make something really special, something very uniquely tessa.

Sharon: I have no doubt. But you know what? I’m glad that you and I have a moment alone together to chat because I was thinking about what we were talking about last night, about you not going to the party celebrating chance’s return. I know what you said was the reason, but…what did you not say?

Mariah: What do you mean?

Sharon: Well, it seems like you see these feelings of attachment toward the baby as something bad or that you should be ashamed of.

Mariah: No, not really. They were just incredibly overwhelming at first, which is why I needed to get out of the chancellor house, so I could deal with them. And I have.

Sharon: No, I know. Honey, I’m really proud of all the progress you’ve made, but, you know, there’s no time limit. You shouldn’t feel like you have to suddenly be over it. You went through a traumatic ordeal. And I think that chance, more than anyone, understands that.

Mariah: Funny, because I ran into victor earlier, and he said something incredibly similar. That was after I lied to him about why I didn’t make it to the party. Which, of course, I’m sure he picked up on.

Sharon: [ Chuckles ] But you see? I hope you know everyone supports you. No one is judging you at all, and you have no reason to think about yourself as a problem.

Mariah: No, it’s — it’s not like that. I don’t — that’s not why i didn’t go to the party. It wasn’t me obsessing over the baby. That’s not happening anymore. Look, abby and chance have a lot to deal with now, and I don’t want to be another complication.

Sharon: You are not a complication.

Mariah: No, no. Not me, just the situation. You know, while chance was gone, life here, it went on. And now he’s been dropped back into a marriage that he’s basically been awol from and add a new baby on top of that? I mean, it’s got to be really hard to adjust. And, I mean, bowie’s got to be picking up on that.

Sharon: Well, I’m sure it’s hard for all of you to adjust, but what’s important is that you’re sensitive to each other, you support one another, you know, for the sake of the baby.

Mariah: Exactly. Look, dominic is always gonna be at the forefront of my mind, and this situation, we have to make decisions on what is gonna be best for him.

Noah: You know, we really got some great stuff today. I can’t wait to show you. I really want to work with how the grittier past influences your work now, you know?

Tessa: Yeah, I mean, I love that direction. So, normally, I hate photo shoots, but with you, it was effortless. You made it so natural and easy. I feel like this was something special.

Noah: Yeah, it was.

Billy: Wow. I expect that out of jack and victoria, but not you.

Lily: Okay, come on. Just hear me out, okay? I went to go see victoria as part of your plan. I wanted to plant the seed in your head that you’re headed for some type of fall, and I needed an artful way of doing that.

Billy: Okay. That’s actually very clever.

Lily: Thank you. I thought it’d be normal that I’d want to know what the warning signs are.

Billy: Okay. And now that you do?

Lily: Well, I mean, I’ll be honest, you know, it did give me some doubts.

Billy: Okay, there we go.

Lily: No, stop, stop. Look, I love you, okay? And I believe in you and I trust you. And I really wish that things hadn’t turned out the way that they did and I wish you were coming to chancellor with me, but I understand why you can’T.

Billy: Do you really?

Lily: I do, yeaH. I realize now that this wasn’t about business or a company takeover. This was a personal attack on you, which makes it a personal attack on me. And I don’t think adam should get away with that. I think he needs to be held accountable. And I want you to be able to clear your name so that you can move on from this.

Billy: Well, amen.

Lily: And I also realize that victoria was a part of all of this. I mean, whether she was a willing participant or turned a blind eye, I mean, she was willing to let this happen to you. And meanwhile, her husband is getting away with all of his crimes, you know, that he’s built his entire life and fortune on. But anyway, I am sorry if I made you think for a second that i had broken trust with you.

Billy: But you didn’T. You’ve been open and honest from the beginning. And given my past, it makes sense that you would want to know what you’re in for.

Lily: And I want you to know that I’m not gonna give up on you the way that your ex did. And I probably should’ve talked to you before I went to go see her, but it’s all a part of your plan. If she thinks that you’re headed for some kind of relapse, i mean, that’s the narrative that you want to create.

Billy: And it’ll get back to victor and adam, and it’ll reinforce exactly what they think about me.

[ Sighs ] It’s actually kind of perfect. You are kind of perfect.

Lily: Wait, I’m sorry, “kind of”?

[ Both chuckle ]

Billy: I love you, and I am grateful that you are in this with me.

Lily: Aww.

Victoria: Oh, dad. Oh, I’m so excited that you stopped by. We have something to tell you.

Victor: You do?

Victoria: Yes. Ashland got some good news from his oncologist.

Ashland: I’m happy to report there’s been no further spread of the cancer.

Victor: Ashland, that is wonderful news indeed.

Ashland: It is.

Victor: In other words, the treatment in peru worked?

Ashland: So far, yeah. Things are looking up.

Victor: Wow. I’ll be damned.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: That is really nice to know. My goodness.

Ashland: Thank you.

Victor: Now I have some news of my own to share with you. I have decided that newman media will no longer compete for the acquisition of chanccomm. I want chanccomm to belong to newman/locke. Return to its fold, as it were.

Victoria: That is very good news.

Victor: [ Sighs ] Nyquil severe gives you powerful relief

Mariah: Look at you.

Tessa: What?

Mariah: You’re beaming. I can tell that you feel really good about the photo shoot and what noah’s gonna do with the album cover.

Tessa: Yeah, I really do. Noah’s got such a creative eye. I mean, I can’t wait to see what he comes up with.

Mariah: Me too.

Tessa: I saw, um, you and sharon at the coffee house. Seems like you were having a pretty intense conversation. Is there anything you want to share about it?

Mariah: Well, as you can probably tell, I have been feeling a bit in limbo. And, you know, chance coming back and then the party, I was really wondering if I had made the right call by not going, and I really wanted to be there for abby and chance, I did, but I also didn’t want my issues to be a distraction. So that’s what I was talking to my mom about. And it was a great conversation, and afterward, I felt really good about deciding not to go.

Tessa: Well…I mean, you know you could’ve come to me.

Mariah: I just feel like that is all that I have been talking about. Things with the baby and… I just realized there is so much going on for you right now, with your career and the album, and

that should be my focus.

Tessa: Hey, nothing is more important to me than you.

Mariah: I know. I saw you and noah, you know, doing your thing.

Tessa: Why didn’t you join us?

Mariah: I didn’t want to interrupt, especially when i heard all the wonderful things you were saying about me, about us, and what I mean to you and how much you love me.

Tessa: I meant every word. I love you.

Mariah: You stop that right now or I’m gonna start crying again.

Tessa: I love you so much.

[ Laughs ]

Victoria: Is adam on board with this?

Victor: Well, let me put it this way. He has no choice but to go along with my decision.

Victoria: Well, what makes you think that he’s going to accept it? He might put in a bid without you.

Victor: He doesn’t have the financial wherewithal to make a bid on his own, okay? So I don’t give a damn what he thinks.

Adam: The financial package that I’m putting together is for a potentially lucrative deal. Right, but what I’m offering is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor and a substantial return on your investment. Well, I hope that you will reconsider and get back to me. I guarantee you will not regret it. And will support you no matter what.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Belle: Who ran the test? Couldn’t the night crew have a made a mistake?

Shawn: The lab tech ran the test twice. It’s a definitive match for philip’S.

Belle: I just don’t believe that brady would do something like that to philip.

Shawn: Listen, I know, honey, but you just–

Melinda: Oh. I hate to interrupt that tender moment. But don’t you think you should be out arresting brady black?

[Monitor beeping]

Brady: I–I swear on my kids’ lives. I–I didn’t attack philip. I didn’T. I would have remembered if I did it, chloe.

Chloe: Okay. It is just shawn’s theory for now. He thinks–

Brady: I don’t–I don’t care what shawn thinks. I care about what you think. I want to know what you think. Do you think I did something to him? You–oh, wow. I’ll take that as a yes. You–okay, all right.

Chloe: What are you doing? What are you doing? Stop.

Brady: I’m getting out of this hospital bed, and I’m gonna find philip myself.

[“Hark the herald angels sing” instrumental playing]

Kate: So you’re late getting home.

Lucas: Yeah, I had kind of had a busy day.

Kate: Oh, no. You have that sad cowboy face like from those westerns that roman always makes me watch. What’s wrong now?

Lucas: Nothing is wrong. Everything’s perfect. Everything’s just fine and dandy. Thank you. Why are you so chipper? Disgustingly chipper? What’d you get to swindle an orphanage or something?

Kate: Okay. Now I’m going to ignore that. And actually, if I am feeling chipper, it’s because rex is back in salem.

Lucas: Right.

Kate: Why are you so morose?

Lucas: Because sami’s back in town too.

Nicole: Hmm. Is sex with you good enough for me to forget about rafe? Huh? I am gonna have to mull that over.

Ej: [Chuckles] Oh, that’s not what I was hoping for.

Nicole: No? What about you? Were you able to forget all about your passionate nights with your precious samantha?

Ej: Samantha? I don’t believe I know anyone by that name.

Nicole: Oh.

Ej: Mmm.

[Tense music]

Sami: [Clears throat]

Ej: Samantha? You’re back.

Sami: Yeah. I am. And I can see just how much you missed me.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Maggie: Victor. Well, whatever you’re reading, why don’t you bring it up to bed?

Victor: I wasn’t reading.

Maggie: Oh, it’s philip’s old high school yearbook. Oh, look at him. He’s a baby.

Victor: You haven’t seen him, have you?

Maggie: No. Are you worried about him?

Victor: Chloe called. Can’t find him anywhere. She wanted to know if I’ve seen him.

Maggie: What did you say?

Victor: That philip was dead to me.

Shawn: The blood on the knife is a match for philip’s, but the divers haven’t found anything in the river.

Melinda: Philip’s blood is on the knife. Philip’s missing. Brady black was found in the same spot that philip was last seen alive covered in blood which matched philip’S. That’s enough for me. Go make the arrest.

Shawn: What? Without a body? What am I gonna charge him with?

Belle: Yeah. I’d like to know the answer to that too.

Melinda: Are you here as an attorney?

Belle: Yes. I am. And I was just telling my husband that your entire case against my client is completely circumstantial.

Shawn: Wait a minute. Brady’s your client? Since when?

Belle: Since she walked into the room.

Rafe: Mmm. Thanks. That hit the spot.

Ava: [Laughs] Good. I’m glad. And you are welcome. Hey, you know what? I was thinking maybe tomorrow we could go shopping for a christmas tree. You know, I think we could use a dose of the holiday spirit around here.

Rafe: Yes.

Ava: Yeah?

Rafe: Yes, we sure could. Lord knows we’ve got the live-in grinch.

Ava: Oh, god. I promise. I promise you I will try and ignore her.

Rafe: Promise?

Ava: Yes. So tomorrow works?

Rafe: Yes. Yeah, that’s good. Real good. What about you, hmm?

Ava: What about me?

Rafe: Have you thought about what you want for christmas.

Ava: Nope. Because I have everything that I want.

Rafe: Aw.

Chloe: Brady, where are you going?

Brady: Going down to the river, ’cause I want to help him find philip.

Chloe: Really? In a hospital gown? It’s a bit drafty. Don’t you think?

Brady: It’s better than lying around in a hospital bed waiting for shawn to build a case against me. For something I didn’t do.

Chloe: I’m not accusing you of anything.

Brady: [Sighs] I can see it in your face. You might as well just admit it. You think that either philip is badly hurt or dead. And you think that I did it.

Sami: Don’t bother. I’ve seen it all before. Like anyone who rented a misty circle porn in the ’90s.

Nicole: I see you haven’t lost that nimble wit of yours.

Sami: And I see you’re still the same skank playing musical beds.

Ej: Samantha, you’re going to have to leave. Nicole and I were in the middle of something, weren’t we?

Sami: Don’t touch her again, ej. It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Kate: So sami didn’t leave town on her own?

Lucas: Nope. No. She was kidnapped. And she’s been locked in a room for this whole time.

Kate: And you rescued her? But how the hell did that happen?

Lucas: It wasn’t easy, but I was with allie when sami managed to call her. And I–I just helped sami figure out where she was, and then I went and got her.

Kate: This is unreal. I mean, even for sami, you know? So roman knows?

Lucas: No, I doubt it. I doubt it. Sami made it a point that she didn’t want to get any family involved. She didn’t want to notify anybody.

Kate: What? What’s more important than your father knowing that you were kidnapped?

Lucas: To sami you mean? Oh, I got two words for you. Ej dimera.

Kate: [Sighs]

Nicole: You know what, ej? I think I’m gonna go. It seems you two have a lot to talk about.

Ej: No, you mustn’t go.

Sami: Oh, yes, she must. Get out of here.

Nicole: Don’t mind if I do.

Sami: Best idea you’ve had all year.

Ej: You’re not going anywhere. Samantha will be the one leaving. Now.

Sami: I’m not going anywhere until I’ve had my say.

Nicole: Well, and I’d rather not be here for that. So thank you.

Ej: Why should I listen to what you have to say?

Sami: Because I am your wife.

Ej: Oh, right. Of course. My loving, faithful, loyal wife who while I was fighting to regain my health was cheating on me with her ex-husband.

Sami: You’re in bed with your ex-wife.

Ej: Which is the perfect example of divine justice.

Sami: [Scoffs]

Ej: Don’t you agree?

Sami: [Scoffs]

Maggie: Why do you say things like that, victor, when you know you don’t mean it?

Victor: I mean every word of it. My son is a colossal screw-up.

Maggie: Well, I don’t approve of everything that philip does, but he still–

Victor: Who else would get involved with the likes of ava vitali not once but twice? Why, he’s gonna go ahead and cost me everything I’ve worked my entire life to build.

Maggie: I know you’re disappointed in him.

Victor: That’s an understatement.

Maggie: But when I found you looking at his school picture, you looked so sad.

Victor: I was remembering the high hopes that I had for him.

Maggie: Of course you were. And you were also thinking about how much you love and miss him. He has a permanent place in your heart, victor. And he always will. Just like bo and isabella.

Victor: Don’t use philip’s name in the same breath as my other children. You know, I often wondered why god took them from me so soon and left me with the one son who’s done nothing but bring shame to the kiriakis name.

Belle: I am not gonna let you railroad brady just because you’re hungry for another headline.

Melinda: You know what? Detective brady, I’m starting to wonder if you’re too close to this case for comfort.

Shawn: Okay, what’s that supposed to mean?

Melinda: Victor kiriakis is your grandfather. That makes philip your uncle. Brady black is your brother-in-law. And now your lovely wife is saying that she’s representing your number one suspect. Do you hear what I’m saying?

Shawn: Yeah, that I can’t be unbiased.

Belle: Mm-hmm. Wow, you’ve got a lot of nerve coming in here and questioning my husband’s integrity.

Melinda: Ooh, I was not talking to you, counselor.

Shawn: Look, I can assure you, madame district attorney, that I’m perfectly capable of separating my family loyalties from my work.

Melinda: Good. Then do your job. Find out what happened to philip kiriakis and arrest the person who did it.

Brady: Stop, stop. You don’t have to do it.

Chloe: Why? Your pillow’s all messed up and your blank–

Brady: I can do it. I can do it. I can do it myself.

Chloe: Oh, all right.

Brady: [Groans]

Chloe: Come on. Come on. Lay back.

Brady: Thank you.

Chloe: You’re welcome. I’m glad you’re kind of listening to some reason.

Brady: I’m not listening to reason, chloe. I just have a bump on the back of my head. It’s beating like a bass drum.

Chloe: Yeah, well, kayla thinks that you might have hit your head on a rock when you passed out.

Brady: That must have been some rock.

Chloe: What were you thinking wanting to go down to the river? What would that look like? There’s cops crawling all over the place.

Brady: What would they think that I couldn’t resist going back to the scene of the crime? Is that it?

Chloe: Brady–

Brady: Chloe, I’m–I’m gonna ask you one more time. I keep asking you this over and over again. I need to know the answer. Do you think I made philip disappear? Yes or no?

Chloe: I–I–don’t–

Brady: Yes or no?

Chloe: I don’t know what to think. I mean, you–you were drunk.

Brady: No, no.

Chloe: And you sent those text messages.

Brady: I wasn’t drunk. And I didn’t send messages. If I would have had a drink, I would have remembered it.

Chloe: Are you sure?

Brady: Chlo, I’ve been clean and sober for a long time now. Please believe me. I swear I didn’t do this.

[Monitor beeping] Like pulsing, electric shocks,

Brady: I don’t care if everyone in this town thinks that I’m the reason philip disappeared. I just need to know that you still believe in me. That’s important to me.

Chloe: Well, I–I see the sincerity in your eyes, and I hear it in your voice.

Brady: Okay. That’s–that’s something.

Chloe: The brady black I know would never hurt philip or anyone else.

Brady: I’m still that guy.

Chloe: When you’re sober, absolutely, but I’ve seen what it looks like when you fall off the wagon.

Brady: Chloe, I told you, I didn’t touch a drop. I didn’t touch a drop of anything.

Chloe: Then how did all that alcohol end up in your system?

Brady: I don’t know. I don’t–I don’t know. Someone poured it down my throat, chloe. I don’t know how it got there.

Chloe: Poured it down your throat? Brady, I was married to you. I remember what that looked like. The–the mood swings, the–the blackouts, the rage.

Brady: Hey, I never–I never laid a hand on you. You know that. I never did.

Chloe: I–I know that.

Brady: You know that.

Chloe: I know that, but there were times I was really afraid that you would. You don’t know what it looks like when you’re out of control, when you’re loaded.

Belle: How do you stand working with melinda trask every day? I swear, she is such a bitch.

Shawn: Uh, uh, uh. Do you remember when claire called those mean girls in her class bitches? Who was the one said that no woman should ever call another woman the b-word?

Belle: Okay. So I’m a bad feminist. Sue me.

Shawn: Are you kidding me? And face belle brady in court. No way.

Belle: Smart guy.

Shawn: Yeah. Well, and speaking of court, I really wish you would have told me that you were representing brady before you told trask.

Belle: Come on. He’s my brother. And she was drooling at the idea of arresting him.

Shawn: I know. But you do see how bad things look for him. I mean, philip is missing, the blood on the knife belongs to philip.

Belle: Okay. You know what? You’re starting to sound a little like trask.

Shawn: But I’m not drooling, honey. All right? I just can’t turn a blind eye to the facts. All right, look, if something bad happened to philip, it’s–

Belle: We don’t know that it did.

Shawn: I know. And that’s why we are doing a full grid search of the surrounding area.

Belle: Right. Well, then I need to get to the hospital and let brady know that he has an attorney whether he wants one or not. Are you gonna stay here or go out on the search?

Shawn: Neither one. I, uh, have to go tell my grandfather that his son is missing.

Lucas: I couldn’t believe it. We were in salem not for five seconds, and she couldn’t wait to get back to the dimera house. She couldn’t wait to see that bum.

Kate: Well, I take that she’s looking for a reconciliation.

Lucas: Yeah, I guess so. Something like that.

Kate: Yeah, well, with a man like ej, that’s not going to be easy.

Lucas: That’s what I told her. But she thinks the fact that she got kidnapped is gonna make up for the fact that we slept together.

Kate: Mm. Well, yeah, maybe. Maybe that could happen. But is sami going to be able to forget about what’s happening between nicole and ej?

Lucas: What?

Kate: Oh. You didn’t know?

Sami: So you basically admitted it. He’s only sleeping with you to hurt me.

Ej: She’ll say anything when she’s in fire-breathing mode. You know that, right?

Nicole: Yeah. I do. I know that. God, sami, you have not changed. You’ve been away for a few months now, and you come back here still thinking the world revolves around you. Ej and I are both available and consenting adults. And we made an adult decision to start seeing each other again. And it had nothing to do with you.

Sami: You’re available because my brother finally wised up and decided to dump you. He’s not available. He’s my husband, you bitch.

Nicole: [Groans]

The snapshot app from

progressive rewards you

Lucas: Wait a minute. There’s something going on between nicole and ej?

Kate: Oh, my god. You really have been out of the action, haven’t you?

Lucas: How serious is it? How serious is it between elvis and priscilla?

Kate: Well, I didn’t say it was serious.

Lucas: Just tell me what you know. Please.

Kate: Okay. Okay. I ran into ej’s assistant the other day, and I got her talking. And she let it slip that ej and nicole have been having dinner on a regular basis.

Lucas: No. I cannot believe that. That’s amazing. Ej and nicole. Sami’s gonna lose it. She’s gonna go ballistic. And I absolutely love it.

Nicole: What is this? “Dynasty”?

Ej: Get out, samantha. Or I’ll have you shown off the property.

Sami: Yeah. Actually it is. Let’s take this outside. I think krystal should have a final say with alexis.

Ej: I’m calling security.

Sami: Oh, stop it.

Nicole: Wait. Hang on. Hang on a second. Sami, you do realize this whole situation is your fault. Ej is healthy. You were living here with him. But you couldn’t help yourself, could you? You had to destroy my marriage too.

Sami: What was I supposed to do? Not tell my own brother that you were slutting around with xander cook?

Nicole: If you just minded your own business, I would still be with eric.

Sami: Yeah. Couldn’t do that. Couldn’t let him live a lie.

Nicole: You would still be the mistress of this manor. But no, you couldn’t keep your big mouth shut.

Sami: None of that has anything to do with the fact that you are sleeping with another woman’s husband.

Ej: The only reason I have the misfortune of still being your husband is because you vanished before I could serve you divorce papers.

Sami: You–you filed divorce papers?

Ej: After you cheated on me with that sniveling beta male lucas? Yes. Of course I did. I told you before you skipped town that our marriage was over. But you refused to accept it.

Sami: I didn’t skip town, you pompous ass. I was kidnapped.

Nicole: [Scoffs]

Rafe: So since we’re gonna be christmas tree shopping tomorrow.

Ava: Mm-hmm. I bet I know what’s in that box.

Rafe: Come and see. Come on.

Ava: It’s christmas ornaments, right?

Rafe: Yes.

Ava: Yeah.

Rafe: Most of them old. See, mommy, she insisted on handing down the christmas tree ornaments to me and gabi.

Ava: Wow. They look amazing.

Rafe: Yes. And like I said, they are old.

Ava: [Laughs] That’s really pretty.

Rafe: Yeah, well, we weren’t trying to be cool. It’s just we didn’t have money, and, well, my mom liked it that kids made them too, you know? Wow.

Ava: Oh, look at that. That one’s fun.

Rafe: Oh, yeah. I think gabi made that one actually.

Ava: Oh.

Rafe: Yep.

Ava: Great. Okay, well, show me one that, um, that little rafael made.

Rafe: Well, okay. Let’s–oh, oh. Yeah. There we go. Huh?

Ava: Did you draw that little boy?

Rafe: Yes. It’s a self-portrait actually.

Ava: Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, you’re a very talented artist. I can see the resemblance actually.

Rafe: Thank you. Thank you.

Ava: Mm-hmm.

Rafe: An ornament of myself for the tree, a little egotistical though, huh?

Ava: Most kids are.

Rafe: Yeah. Well, there’s lots of them as you can see.

Ava: It’s fine.

Rafe: But, you know, if you have some, that’d be great too.

Ava: Um, I don’T. I mean, of course, we could afford them in my family. But sometimes they just weren’t exactly in the christmas spirit.

Rafe: Well, that’s too bad.

Ava: Yeah. But I am in the christmas spirit this year.

Rafe: Oh, yeah.

Ava: Yes. What about you?

Rafe: Oh, yes.

Ava: Yeah?

Rafe: Definitely.

Ava: Hey, you know, I wonder if it could have anything to do with us being together.

Rafe: I think it has a lot to do with that.

Ava: Yeah?

Rafe: Yeah. Merry christmas.

Maggie: Victor? Shawn is here. He needs to talk to you.

Victor: Well, I’m always glad to see shawn. But given the late hour and the fact that your wife doesn’t seem to be with you, I take it this is not a social call.

Shawn: No. No, it’s not.

Victor: All right. Give it to me straight. Who is it?

Shawn: Uh, it’s philip.

Victor: What’s he done now?

Shawn: No, it’s not–it’s not that. Look, philip’s missing, grandfather. And with the evidence that we have, we have a reason to believe that he’s a victim of foul play.

Victor: Don’t give me “foul play.” You must suspect somebody. Who?

Shawn: Given the evidence that we have right now, our main suspect is brady.

[Monitor beeping]

Brady: Well, I guess I finally understand why you chose philip over me. After all these years, you still don’t trust me, do you?

Chloe: It’s not that. It’S… I guess it’s just what I saw, what I saw last night, it just–it brought back a lot of bad memories.

Brady: Hmm. I’m sorry about that. You know, you can go. You can go home if you want. You don’t need to stay here with me.

Chloe: Stop. Just stop. Look, it doesn’t matter what I think. I’m not a cop or a lawyer or anyone investigating this. So just stop it. Don’t get all worked up until we know more.

Brady: Don’t you understand it is always gonna matter to me what you think?

Belle: Oh, sorry. I should have knocked.

Brady: No, no, no, belle. It’s okay. Come on in; chloe was just–she was just telling me that she’s still not sure as to whether I did something to philip or not, so… how about you, sis? You think your big brother has it in him to kill someone? Is struggling to manage your type 2 diabetes

Belle: Listen, no one knows if a murder’s even been committed.

Brady: Oh, well, thanks for the glowing vote of confidence there.

Belle: Okay, well, don’t can’t take that attitude if the police come and question you.

Brady: That’s gonna happen?

Belle: I just came from the police station. And yeah, the da tried to talk shawn into arresting you.

Brady: Oh, come on. You can’t be serious.

Belle: I’m completely serious. But I told her I was your lawyer, and I pointed out all the weaknesses in her case and she backed off.

Brady: She backed off? This is insane. This can’t be happening, belle. This is–

Belle: You need to take this completely seriously, okay? The circumstantial evidence against you is accumulating.

Chloe: What do you mean? What evidence?

Belle: You know what, chloe? I’m here as brady’s lawyer. So I’m sorry, I have to ask you to leave.

Brady: No, no, no. No, chloe. You can’t kick her out of my room, okay? Whatever you have to say, I’m fine with her hearing.

Belle: The da could call chloe as a witness.

Brady: If it goes to trial. It won’T. Because I’m innocent.

Belle: Shawn got the results of the comparison between philip’s blood and the blood found on the knife. It’s a match.

Chloe: Oh, my god. Philip?

Victor: So the official police position is that my son was attacked by my grandson?

Shawn: It’s not official.

Victor: Well, then tell me what you know for sure.

Shawn: Well, chloe was the last person to see philip. They were down at the riverbank together. And they have reason to believe that brady had been there.

Victor: What reason?

Shawn: Well, they found his watch on the ground. So chloe left philip to go and find brady. And she didn’t have any luck. And when she returned at the riverbank, philip was gone, and brady was lying on the ground covered in blood. But it wasn’t his blood. And there was a knife that was next to him that had blood on it as well, but it wasn’t brady’s blood. Our labs ended up testing it, and it’s a positive match for philip’S.

Maggie: Oh. I can’t believe what I’m hearing.

Victor: I knew this was going to happen. I just knew it.

Maggie: Oh, victor, you’ve got to keep a cool head for philip’s sake and brady’S.

Shawn: Wait, hold on. What do you mean that you knew this was gonna happen?

Victor: Chloe lane was in the center of this whole thing. I knew that damn tramp would be the death of one of those boys.

Ej: Kidnapped?

Sami: Yes.

Nicole: Please, tell me you are not buying this.

Sami: It’s the truth. I went to rafe’s house to see gabi. I was gonna ask if I could stay in the mansion. But before I could even knock on the door, someone snuck up behind me and attacked me.

Ej: Hmm. And why should I believe you, samantha? Because you’re so forthright and honest? Because you would never think of spinning a far out story to get yourself out of trouble?

Sami: Trouble?

Nicole: Or maybe she was soaking up the sun at some five-star hotel.

Ej: Hmm. On my money.

Sami: Do I look like I have a tan? I don’t believe this. I’m your wife and the mother of your children. And somebody took a rag soaked with chloroform and dragged me off, held me prisoner for three months. And this is how you react?

Ej: I’m afraid so, pet. If you want a more horrified reaction to your tale of woe, I suggest telling lucas horton.

Sami: I did. That’s how I’m even standing here right now.

Ej: What?

Sami: Lucas is the one who rescued me.

Kate: You are alarmingly happy over this whole thing. Please don’t tell me that you have your hopes up for getting back with sami, please.

Lucas: Of all the women in the world, ej has to pick nicole to rebound with? Come on. Sami despises her more than anything. This could really do it, mom. This could really break the spell he has on her.

Kate: Yeah. Okay. And sami could also dig in her heels and fight.

Lucas: Anybody ever tell you you’re a big downer? You know that, right?

Kate: Yeah. Yes. You. Repeatedly. You know, lucas, I–I just don’t want to see you get your hopes up again. I really don’T.

[Phone rings] Victor. I wonder what he wants. Hey, hi. Why are you calling me this time of night? Is everything all right?

Victor: No, I’m afraid it isn’T. Can you come to the house?

Kate: When?

Victor: Now. It’s about our son.

Belle: From now on, brady, you have to be very careful about what you say and do.

Chloe: I had to keep him from leaving here and going to the river.

Belle: Are you out of your mind?

Brady: No. I’m gonna do whatever I have to do to clear my name. Chloe–chloe–chloe has doubts about what I did last night, and I’ve known her forever. So what do you think the cops think? What do you think this whole damn town thinks what happened?

Belle: It doesn’t matter. Forget all of that. Your only job right now is to try to piece together what happened after you left the pub.

Brady: Belle, I’m trying. I can’T. There’s nothing there. It’s blank. I’d call marlena to hypnotize me, but she’s a little busy with her problems right now.

Belle: That is not funny.

Brady: No, it’s not funny. What if they find philip at the bottom of the river? Everybody’s gonna think that I put him there.

Victor: Kate’s on her way over.

Maggie: Dear god. How do we break this to her? It’s–it’s every mother’s nightmare.

Shawn: Look, there’s still hope that philip is out there and he’s alive and well.

Victor: Well, if you believed that, you wouldn’t be dragging the damn river. You think philip’s dead, don’t you?

[Phone rings]

Shawn: Detective brady. Okay. All right. I’m on my way.

Victor: That about philip?

Shawn: The divers have found something.

Maggie: [Sighs]

[“Away in a manger” instrumental playing]

Lucas: Did victor give you any clue about what’s going on?

Kate: No. He just wants me come over right away. And somehow I don’t think it’s because philip’s getting a citizen of the year award, you know?

Lucas: You want me to go with you? Give you a little backup?

Kate: No. Thanks, honey. I think you’ve been through enough today already. You could stay here, though, until roman gets back. You know, it’s his bowling night.

Lucas: I will. No problem. I got it.

Kate: Okay. Thank you. Hey, I’ll let you know– let you know how it goes.

Lucas: Okay. Hey, mom. I’m sure philip is fine.

Kate: Yeah. No. I am–I’m sure he’s fine too. See you later.

Ej: You were being held prisoner and you called lucas?

Sami: No. I called allie. And lucas happened to be standing there. And he helped me figure out where I was, and he came and rescued me.

Nicole: How chivalrous of him.

Sami: Shut your mouth or i will shut it for you.

Ej: You never called me to say you were kidnapped.

Sami: I did call you, ej. Of course I called you. But your phone was dead. Maybe too much sexting with nicole.

Ej: All right. Fine. Let’s just say you were kidnapped. Why was there no ransom demand? Who would want the aggravation of holding you captive against your will unless there was money to be made?

Sami: We’re looking at her.

Nicole: What? You think I had you kidnapped?

Sami: Well, you got me out of the way so you could have your chance with ej.

Nicole: Oh. Okay. You know what? I have had enough. Why don’t you call me if and when you get this nutjob out of your life. Okay?

Ej: You only have one shoe on.

Nicole: Yeah. I’ll hop to the car if I have to.

Sami: Oh, no. You are not going anywhere until I’m through with you.

Nicole: Oh, sami. You know what? I wasn’t gonna stoop to your level. But then I thought, “why not?”

Ej: Tt’s enough. That’s enough. Samantha, you are not wanted here. This is no longer your house.

Sami: I was kidnapped. And you’re not letting me stay?

Ej: I will throw you out myself if I have to.

Sami: This isn’t over. Not by a long shot. Why give your family just ordinary eggs

Ava: So did you mean what you said before?

Rafe: Uh, what did I say?

Ava: Well, about you being in the christmas spirit. Cheers. Because we’re together this year.

Rafe: Why would you doubt that I meant that?

Ava: You know, I’m just–guess I’m feeling insecure, feeling that I’m not worthy of somebody as wonderful as you.

Rafe: Hey. Don’t you say that.

Ava: But you know how it goes, right? The more you care about someone the harder it is to be cool, and then you’re even more needy, and then you just want the reassurance that the other person feels the same way. Idiot.

Rafe: Okay. Hold on. I think I may know a way to reassure you.

Ava: Oh, yeah?

Rafe: Yeah.

Ava: Mm? Mmm. Hmm.

Rafe: Mm?

Ava: Yeah. That actually might be working.

Rafe: Okay.

Ava: But I think maybe you could try just a little harder.

Rafe: Well, that’s definitely worth a try.

Ava: Mm.

Ava: Mmm.

Nicole: Where’s my other shoe?

Ej: Nicole.

Nicole: Oh.

Ej: Allow me.

Nicole: Thanks. I’d say I feel like cinderella. But she didn’t have to bitch slap prince charming’s ex-wife to get her to leave when she found me and the prince in bed.

Ej: Did that upset you?

Nicole: [Scoffs] Well, it wasn’t my finest moment.

Ej: You know, you don’t have to leave.

Nicole: Yes, I do. It was fun while it lasted, ej, but–

Ej: But what? Samantha being back changes nothing.

Nicole: It changes everything, and you know it.

Ej: Not where you and i are concerned.

Nicole: But what if–what if sami was telling the truth and she was kidnapped?

Ej: Then for the sake of our children, I’m glad lucas brought her back safely. And as far as you and i are concerned, samantha is still in my past. And you are my future.

Sami: Daddy? Oh, daddy, I could use a cup of chowder and someone to talk to.

Lucas: Oh. Will I do?

Maggie: Would you, um, like anything, kate? A cup of tea?

Kate: Uh, no.

Victor: A drink?

Kate: A drink? No, thank you. Look, I’m here. So why don’t you just tell me what the emergency is?

Victor: I think you should sit down.

Kate: I–no, I don’t want to sit down. People only ask you to sit down when there’s bad news, victor. So just tell me. Was philip arrested?

Victor: No, it’s nothing like that. He’s missing, kate. And the police suspect foul play. They think someone may have hurt our boy…or worse.

[Monitor beeping]

Belle: The best thing that you can do right now is just stay here in the hospital and get better. Okay? We’ll leave the investigating to the police. And I’ll start putting your defense together.

Brady: Thank you. Thank you for getting here so quickly. Thank you for everything. I owe you.

Belle: Oh, yeah, you do. Just wait until you get my bill.

Chloe: [Laughs]

Brady: [Mumbles].

[Phone beeps]

Belle: Oh, um… shawn said the divers found something in the river.

Chloe: Oh, my god. Philip?

Melinda: What do you have for me?

Shawn: You’re about to find out.

Melinda: Good god, what is that?

Shawn: It’s a prosthetic leg. The only person I know that needs one of those is philip kiriakis.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Belle: Hey, I got your message. Is there news about my mom?

Shawn: No, I wish there was.

Belle: Oh, well, then what’s so urgent?

Shawn: It’s brady.

[Monitor beeping]

Brady: Oh, god.

Chloe: How are you feeling?

Brady: Ooh. Um, I have a headache. I’m really achy. If I didn’t know better, I’d think I had a hangover or something. Why am I–why am i in the hospital?

Chloe: I was hoping you could tell me.

[Dramatic music]

Ava: You still haven’t seen my text. Where are you, rafe?

Gabi: Aw. Lose your boyfriend? Please say it’s for good.

Ej: Well, well, well. What have we here? What are you two doing out in the cold?

Nicole: We just ran into each other.

Ej: Mm. You were invited. You were not.

Rafe: I invited myself.

Ej: Ah.

Rafe: Official police business.

Ej: Regarding?

Rafe: Your sister. I’m sure you’ve heard that she managed to escape custody again. And seeing as though you’re such a tight-knit clan, I figured it’d be a good idea to interview the whole family.

Ej: Chad’s not available.

Rafe: I’ve already spoken with chad. He says he doesn’t have any idea how kristen managed to pull this off. What about you? Any ideas?

Ava: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Ej: Oh, I think you do, ’cause you helped my sister escape.

Ava: How do you know what’s going on with kristen? I read you refused to represent her to protect your image.

Ej: While I’m in no position to help kristen publicly, I have been watching her very closely. I’ve made it a point to have eyes and ears everywhere.

Ava: Really?

Ej: Mm. I know you used your “family connections” to intimidate the guards who were escorting her to statesville. You scared them into letting her go.

Rafe: I asked you a question.

Allie: Oh, my god, I thought you’d just gone somewhere to get over everything that happened with ej. I never would’ve thought you’d been kidnapped.

Sami: I heard you thought I had sent you a text saying I needed time away?

Allie: Yeah, I should have known you wouldn’t go that long without calling.

Sami: Did you miss me messing up your life?

Allie: I feel so bad. I mean, we should have been looking for you. You were probably so scared.

Sami: I was very scared. And then I realized they weren’t gonna kill me. And then I just got mad.

Allie: Thank god they didn’t hurt you.

Sami: I’m so glad to be home. Oh, allie, I love you so much.

[Tender music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

[Tense music]

Gabi: You know, I’d say grab a spoon, but I really don’t feel like sharing.

Ava: Oh, it must take a lot of energy to be such a bitch all the time.

Gabi: I just figure if I keep it up, you’ll get the hint and get out of here.

Ava: Oh, I’m not going anywhere, even after that number you pulled on me with rafe. He knows you’re a liar, so I’d watch my mouth if I were you.

Gabi: See, I’m not worried. It’s only a matter of time before you screw things up. You’ll get tired of playing the little hausfrau and cook up some other scheme, tell a bunch of lies, maybe have another dead guy on the floor. You know, rafe’s sweet, but he’s not stupid. One of these days, he’s gonna dump you. He’s gonna dump you for good.

Ava: [Scoffs]

Ej: I assure you, I had nothing to do with my sister’s vanishing.

Rafe: Hmm, well, she couldn’t have pulled off a trick like that by herself.

Ej: Didn’t come from me.

Rafe: Really?

Ej: Mm.

Rafe: ‘Cause you seem to be kristen’s nearest and dearest.

Ej: For the sake of my company, I’ve had to keep my distance.

Rafe: Really? Yeah, wouldn’t want to tarnish that noble dimera name.

Ej: Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but my hands are clean.

Rafe: Mm.

Ej: And even if she did have a coconspirator, she must have enlisted some other poor old soul.

Rafe: Any idea who?

Ej: Isn’t it your job to figure that out? In fact, that’s what you probably should do. I wouldn’t want to keep a beautiful woman waiting.

Rafe: Hmm. You two have a great night.

Ej: Mm.

Tripp: All right, yeah, blood pressure’s a little high, but that’s understandable. But after what you’ve been through, I’d say you’re in pretty good shape.

Sami: Look who sounds like a doctor.

Tripp: Yeah, it’s all talk right now. I still have a long way to go.

Allie: He does not. He is almost through with medical school.

Sami: Oh, wow. Good for you. See, told you I was gonna be fine.

Lucas: Yeah, well, what she’s not telling you is, the guy who was guarding her pushed her down, and she fell pretty hard.

Tripp: Did you hit your head?

Sami: No.

Lucas: Yes, you did.

Tripp: Did you lose consciousness?

Sami: No. Right?

Lucas: Yeah.

Tripp: Okay, well, I definitely suggest that you see a real doctor to let them check you out.

Lucas: She will. I’ll make sure she sees a real doctor. You’re gonna take it easy. You’re gonna be careful.

Sami: Okay. All right, lucas. Seriously, thank you so much for rescuing me. Your dad is a real hero.

Allie: Oh, I believe it. What bothers me is that we don’t know who the villain is.

Sami: Believe me, I want to know who it is too. Doesn’t your family deserve the best?

Chloe: So what’s the last thing that you remember?

Brady: [Sighs] Running–running into you at the pub. I was–I was getting takeout for dad. Is he okay? Is he all right?

Chloe: No, he’s fine. That’s really all you remember?

Brady: [Sighs] Everything–it’s all– everything’s a blank.

Chloe: So you don’t know why you went down to the river?

Brady: I went down to the river?

Chloe: Yeah.

Brady: How do you know that?

Chloe: Because I found you lying there on the ground.

Brady: Is that how I got in here? What the hell happened? Chloe, what, did I fall? Did I hit my head? My head feels like– what happened?

Chloe: I don’t know, but… you were passed out. And when you came to, you were– you were drunk, brady. Really drunk.

[Dramatic music]

Belle: I just can’t believe this. Brady hasn’t had a slip in ages.

Shawn: His blood alcohol was three times the legal limit.

Belle: So where is he now?

Shawn: He’s at the hospital, flushing his system out.

Belle: I just don’t understand this at all.

Shawn: Well, your dad wasn’t eating very much, so brady went to the pub to get him something that he thought he’d like better than the hospital food. And I don’t know, I guess, you know, the temptation was just a little too strong.

Belle: No, my family does not need this right now.

Shawn: I know. I know. I’m sorry. That’s–that’s not everything. Chloe’s the one that found him. He was passed out by the river’s edge, and he was covered in blood.

Belle: What? Why didn’t you tell me he was hurt?

Shawn: It wasn’t his blood.

Belle: Then whose was it?

Shawn: The blood type matches philip’S.

Ej: Dinner is in half an hour. Harold told me that chad and abigail have requested dinner in their suite, so it’s dinner for two. That is unless, of course, you’d like to invite rafe to join us.

Nicole: What does that mean?

Ej: Oh, I could see I was interrupting something close between the two of you. If you would like to finish what you started–

Nicole: Come on. That was all in your mind. We were talking about kristen.

[Sighs] Okay, fine.

Ej: Mm.

Nicole: We were having a moment.

Ej: Should I have stayed back? Not made my presence known?

Nicole: That would be you, wouldn’t it?

Ej: [Chuckles]

Nicole: Look, I know that I have to forget about rafe. I told you that.

Ej: Doesn’t seem like he wants that to happen.

Nicole: Of course he does.

Ej: Then why is he always sniffing around?

Nicole: That’s not what he’s doing. He’s– look, rafe agrees that we need to move on. It’s just a lot harder than we thought it would be.

Ej: Mm. Well, perhaps rafe could put in a little bit more effort.

Nicole: Oh, like you’re an expert in turning off your feelings toward someone? You think I haven’t noticed that you’re still pining for sami?

Ej: [Chuckles] We’ve been over this, nicole.

Nicole: Okay. So that night that you thought she called, I could have done the dance of seven veils and you still would’ve never noticed me.

Ej: That is sheer nonsense.

Nicole: Is it?

Ej: Mm-hmm.

Nicole: You can deny it all you want, but it takes one to know one. I might not be over rafe, but you are definitely not over samantha gene brady.

Sami: I mean, the whole time I was there, I never figured out who was in charge. I only saw these two humans, jason and pete, and believe me, they were not the ones calling the shots.

Lucas: Yeah, I tried to get that guy jason to give me the name of his boss, but he wasn’t talking. And then he escaped. I mean, I’ll bet you peter and jason weren’t even their real names.

Sami: Right.

Allie: So you still have no idea what they wanted from you?

Sami: Not a clue. First, I thought it was something to do with money maybe, but jason made it clear that that was not the issue.

Tripp: Okay, so his boss is rich.

Sami: Maybe. But I do think there is another motive.

Allie: Like what?

Sami: Revenge.

Lucas: Well, you do have your share of enemies, don’t you?

Sami: One person in particular leaps to mind.

Lucas: Who are you thinking of, sami?

Sami: I know who did this to me.

Limu emu… & doug

Brady: I don’t–I don’t– I don’t even remember thinking about picking up a drink, let alone doing it. I don’T.

Chloe: Well, then how did you get so wasted? Because you were. They drew your blood and it explains why you can’t remember anything.

Brady: You know how long I’ve been sober. How long I’ve been sober. Why would I screw that up, huh? Why would I do that?

Chloe: I don’t know. Okay, so the last thing you remember was seeing me in front of the pub. You went to go get john some food. But he told me that you never came back here with it.

Brady: All right. Hey, all right, let’s say I–let’s say I had some drinks. Let’s say I got drunk, which I didn’T. How did I get down to the river if I was so blackout drunk, huh? Answer me that.

Chloe: I don’t know.

Brady: And why would i go there?

Chloe: I don’t– philip and I went to the river to go check on the tree that we’d planted together. And when we got there, we saw that somebody had ripped the tree out of the ground, and your watch was lying there next to it. And there was no sign of you.

Brady: Okay.

Chloe: So I went looking for you. I left philip there. I came back here, and that’s when your dad told me that you never came back here with any food. So I went–I went back to the river and that’s when I found you lying unconscious there on the ground.

Brady: No.

Chloe: And philip was gone, and there was a knife lying next to you.

Brady: The knife– where did I get a knife?

Chloe: I don’t–

Brady: I have a knife?

Chloe: I don’t know. But all I know is that that knife and you we both covered in blood and it was the same blood type as philip’S.

Brady: What? What?

Chloe: Yeah. It’s true, brady.

Brady: What does–what does philip have to say about all of this?

Chloe: Nothing, because he’s still missing.

[Suspenseful music]

Brady: You think that I did something to him, don’t you?

Belle: So you’re saying that brady got loaded and went after philip with a knife. Why would he do that?

Shawn: I don’t know. I haven’t gotten a statement from him yet. But chloe confirmed what you said about brady being jealous of philip.

Belle: Well, did you get a statement from philip?

Shawn: No, we haven’t been able to track him down. Nobody can find him.

Belle: Oh, my god.

Shawn: And there’s a trail of blood, all right, the same blood that they found all over brady, that leads down to the river’s edge.

Belle: So you’re saying it looks like philip got knifed and then staggered down there and– oh, my god. Well, philip just has to be okay. He has to be.

Ava: I don’t think you get how deep rafe’s feelings are for me. I did screw up. Yeah. I did go behind his back and scheme with philip to steal your company. Guess what. He forgave me.

Gabi: Only because your plan was a dud. If you and philip had really pushed me out of gabi chic, you’d be on the street now.

Ava: And you weren’t here when rafe and I talked. He sees how you treat me, and he hates it. And he knows that’s why I did what I did. And you know what? I wouldn’t bank on me being the one who ends up on the street.

Gabi: You think you’re such an operator. But all you really are is just an ex-mafia princess who has no job, no home of her own, and only seems to be able to make some mediocre pasta.

Ava: [Laughs] Huh. You know, I’m also pretty good with one of these. So the next time you decide to shoot your mouth off, I’d remember how carmine merlino ended up on this kitchen floor.

[Tense music]

Rafe: What’s going on?

Ej: I don’t know why you persist in saying that samantha has some kind of hold over me. It’s simply not true.

Nicole: So when you thought she called you, why did you keep checking your phone every ten minutes?

Ej: Business. I was in the middle of a very important negotiation.

Nicole: [Laughs] You used to be a better liar than that.

Ej: [Chuckles] I don’t think you’re giving yourself enough credit here.

Nicole: What do you mean?

Ej: Why would I be thinking about my soon-to-be ex-wife when there is a fascinating, beautiful woman standing right in front of me?

Nicole: Mm. Oh, I have my charms. But I don’t know if anyone is charming enough to flush sami out of your system.

Ej: That’s ridiculous.

Nicole: That’s also what you say when you know I’m right. I guess marlena’s not the only one who has to exorcise a demon.

Ej: Well, then perhaps you could help me with that.

Nicole: I’m not a priest.

Ej: Oh, I have great faith in your abilities.

[Dramatic music]

Allie: All right, mom, don’t play games. Tell us who did this to you.

Lucas: Yeah, I’m interested to know the answer to that myself.

Sami: I thought you would’ve figured it out for yourself. It had to be nicole.

Lucas: What? Come on. No way. No way.

Sami: Are you kidding me? After I blew up her marriage to eric, she hates me for it.

Allie: So she hired someone to kidnap you?

Sami: Yeah. Payback.

Tripp: You guys always really talk like this?

Sami: Yeah, we do. You’ll get used to it.

Allie: I’m not saying nicole doesn’t hate you, but kidnapping?

Sami: Are you kidding me? She masterminded stealing my newborn child and giving me someone else’S.

Tripp: Did that really happen?

Sami: Yes, it did.

Allie: Okay, nicole’s different now.

Sami: Oh, please.

Tripp: I have seen her with your grandson; I mean, she seems like a good person.

Allie: Yeah, and she’s a wonderful, wonderful mother to holly. If she had you kidnapped, she could go to prison.

Lucas: That’s right. Allie’s right. Why would she risk that? Plus she already got back at you, didn’t she? I mean, she made sure that ej saw that letter that kristen wrote about you and me.

Allie: Yeah, okay? So see, your marriage is over, and so is hers, so you’re even.

Sami: Wait a second. Who said my marriage is over? I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Ej: Whoo! I feel liberated from my demons already. You?

Rafe: Nicole, is something wrong?

[Dramatic music]

Nicole: Yeah, I’m fine. It must have been that martini. It hit me harder than I thought.

Ej: Dinner will fix that. Are you ready to go to the dining room?

Nicole: Actually, I have a better idea. Let’s go to your bedroom.

Ej: Are you sure?

Nicole: Yeah, I have to get rafe out of my mind. You don’t feel used, do you?

Ej: Yes, but in a good way. I will do my best to wipe rafael hernandez from your consciousness.

Nicole: Okay.

Lucas: You don’t think your marriage is over? Ej made it perfectly clear he wants nothing to do with you.

Sami: That was three months ago, and I told him that I was not giving up on us.

Lucas: He kicked you out of the house.

Sami: Oh, it’s not his house. It’s gabi’S.

Lucas: What difference does that make?

Sami: I was going to rafe’s to talk to gabi. I was gonna ask her to let me stay at the mansion. Before I could even knock on the door…

[Sighs]

[Knocking] Gabi? Is anyone home?

[Knocking]

[Muffled screaming]

[Suspenseful music]

When I came to, I was in that room that you found me in. I lost my chance to talk to ej. I lost that beautiful necklace that he gave me. But I am back now, and I’m not gonna lose my husband too.

Gabi: Oh, rafe, oh, thank god you showed up. She’s trying to stab me.

Ava: I was just giving gabi a friendly reminder about pushing my buttons.

Gabi: Oh, no, no, there was nothing friendly about that. Well, come on. Are you gonna arrest her? She was trying to kill me.

Ava: My god, she’s up to her old tricks again, rafe.

Rafe: Are you okay? Are you bleeding?

Gabi: No, but that doesn’t mean anything that–

Rafe: Can you just go?

Gabi: Go where?

Rafe: Can you just–can you just go to your room, please? Just take your ice cream and go.

Gabi: Are you serious? Are you taking her side?

Rafe: Gabi, please, I have had a long night. Please, just go. Thank you.

Gabi: Okay, fine, I’m gonna go because jake is waiting for me.

Rafe: Okay.

Gabi: You know what? Don’t come crying to me when lizzie borden here stabs you in the back.

Ava: Oh, just so you know, she used an ax. So how was your night?

Chloe: I have no idea what happened. I was really hoping that you could tell me since philip is still missing. You’re the only one who knows anything.

Brady: [Sighs] My mind’s blank. I’m assuming you tried to call philip, right?

Chloe: Yeah, and his cell phone was in your coat pocket.

Brady: [Exhales heavily] Then that means– I mean, obviously I ran into him at some point.

Chloe: Well, shawn and i looked through his phone to maybe figure out where he went, and we just saw a bunch of texts from you.

Brady: Okay. All right, what did they say?

Chloe: Where do you keep your phone?

Brady: In my pants pocket.

Chloe: Do I have permission to check your pockets?

Chloe: Chloe, yeah, go ahead.

[Dramatic music]

Chloe, I didn’t send these. I didn’t send these.

Chloe: Are you sure, or you just don’t remember?

Shawn: Here’s a printout of philip’s text messages that came from brady’s phone.

Belle: “Philip, you don’t deserve to be with chloe. If you don’t cut yourself out of her life, I’ll have no choice but to cut you out of it myself.” Brady would never say something like that.

Shawn: Even if he was really drunk?

Belle: Okay. Maybe he’s in love with chloe, but he would never hurt philip. Come on.

[Phone rings]

Shawn: Yeah. Brady. Okay. Thank you. Well, forensics found one set of prints on that knife. It’s brady’S.

At progressive,

we love your pets

Brady: Let me get–let me get this straight. You think that I got so drunk, so damn drunk that I couldn’t remember a damn thing. Somehow I found a knife, and then I went down to the river. And then I went over to that tree of yours and I ripped it up out of the ground. And then I sent some threatening texts to philip. Is that what you’re saying?

Chloe: That’s what it looks like.

Brady: Does it make any sense, chloe? Chloe, I’ve–listen, you’ve never been as drunk as you say that I was. But I have. Let me tell you something. You can’t even remember your name. You can’t even say your name, let alone send threatening texts to somebody and then make good on the threat.

Chloe: No, shawn thinks that maybe you went to the river to find philip and me.

Brady: Did shawn happen to mention how I would know that you would be down at the river? ‘Cause the last thing you told me was that you were going back to the kiriakis mansion to have dinner with philip.

Chloe: I don’t know. I don’t know how to explain any of this. But you were there, and there was a knife with you.

Brady: It was not–it was lying next to me, right? It was lying next to me.

Chloe: It gets worse. Shawn said that they found a trail of blood, the same blood type that you were covered in, that led down to the river. And he’s now got men dragging the river for a body.

Brady: He thinks–he thinks philip is–philip is dead?

[Dramatic music]

Belle: I get how bad this looks, but I mean, come on, there has to be some other explanation. There are no witnesses.

Shawn: Yet.

Belle: All of the evidence that you have is circumstantial. And you don’t even have brady’s statement yet.

Shawn: No, I don’T. I’m just–I’m just saying that it looks really bad.

Belle: Okay. Well, a lot of people have type o positive blood. Do you know for sure that the blood at the scene is philip’s?

Shawn: Look, we’re working on it.

Belle: So you do don’t know.

Shawn: Okay, counselor, you know what? You’re right. Okay, but there is blood on that knife, and it belongs to somebody. That doesn’t make anything better for brady.

Belle: You don’t have a case, shawn. Come on, you know it.

Shawn: Okay, I’ll admit I would be much happier if I had a dna sample from philip, all right? I was gonna get a warrant to go down and search his room at the kiriakis house and find something that we could test. But I just didn’t want to upset victor unless I really had to.

Belle: Well, you don’t have to. I know a much faster way to get philip’s dna.

Ava: So here’s the burger that you didn’t get the chance to eat earlier. I kept it warm, but the fries got a little limp. Sorry about that.

Rafe: Thank you. It’s all right. I’m so hungry, I’ll eat ’em anyway.

Ava: Good. I forgot the ketchup.

Rafe: Mm.

Ava: So you talked to xander. Did he know anything about how kristen escaped?

Rafe: Well, he says that he hates her and he wouldn’t lift a finger to help her. And honestly, I kind of believe him.

Ava: Mm, so is that where you’ve been all night, with xander?

Rafe: Well, actually, I went from there over to start questioning the dimera family.

Ava: Any luck?

Rafe: Chad was the only one there when I got there. He actually just found out that kristen had escaped.

Ava: Oh. I guess that’s what took you so long to get home.

Rafe: Actually, that’s not all. When I was leaving, I ran into nicole.

Nicole: Whoo!

Sami: Thank you again. Lucas, I better get going.

Lucas: Where? Where are you going?

Sami: I’m gonna go see ej, of course. He must be worried about me.

Allie: Mom, come on.

Sami: Well, I know he was mad, okay, about what happened. But that was three months ago. I’ve been gone for three months. And now that he knows that I was in danger–

Allie: He doesn’t know that.

Sami: What?

Allie: He still thinks that you left on your own.

Sami: Nobody told him that I had been kidnapped?

Lucas: What do you want us to do? We found out this morning, okay? We didn’t have time to tell him. I was busy rescuing you. Sorry.

Sami: Of course not. I understand. But you couldn’t call him?

Allie: Mom, grandma’s missing. Grandpa john is in the hospital. I mean, the only person I had time to tell was tripp. I have a lot on my plate right now.

Tripp: She does.

Sami: Yeah, I understand. And maybe it’s for the best, right? I’ll be the one to tell ej about my ordeal. Oh, poor man.

Lucas: Poor man?

Sami: He’s gonna be in for such a shock.

Lucas: Man, you gotta be be kidding me, poor man. You are gonna go crawling back to that bum? Are you serious?

I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Sami: Lucas, I would appreciate it if you didn’t talk about the man that I love like that.

Lucas: Why are you doing this, sami? You know he treats you like dirt.

Sami: I’m not completely blameless, and there’s no time like the present to try to work things out.

Lucas: You just got out of a horrible situation. Why would you put yourself right in the middle of another one?

Sami: Are you comparing my marriage to being held hostage?

Lucas: Honestly, I don’t see much difference, to tell you the truth.

Sami: [Scoffs] Okay. Look, lucas, you saved me. You have no idea how happy I was to see you, but you are being ridiculous.

Lucas: Why don’t you just take a break from ej, go to the hospital, have ’em check you out, see if you can get a clean bill of health? Do that.

Sami: I feel fine. And dr. Johnson here already checked me out. He said I’m fine.

Lucas: He’s not a real doctor.

Allie: Yet.

Tripp: I would have to say that I didn’t see any obvious signs of damage to your health.

Sami: See?

Lucas: Will you stop? Dude, work with me a little bit, please.

Tripp: But I meant it when I said that you should get a complete checkup.

Sami: Are you serious right now? You’re using your daughter’s boyfriend to further your agenda? Do you realize that’s a little pathetic?

Lucas: You know what? The only agenda I have right now is to make sure you’re okay, that you get plenty of rest, and you get a bite to eat and maybe–

Sami: Okay, okay. Stop. I’m fine. Thank you for everything. But I am gonna go see my husband, get my marriage back.

[Dramatic music]

Nicole: Do you remember the first time we made love?

Ej: Hmm, it was during a blackout, and we were stuck in an elevator at the salem inn.

Nicole: It was so hot.

Ej: I’ll say.

Nicole: [Laughs] Uh-huh. I meant the heat wave and the ac being out.

[Both laugh]

Ej: But you have to admit that lovemaking was also pretty steamy.

Nicole: Yes, it was.

Ej: And now here we are in each other’s arms again after all these years. Would you say it’s still as good as you remember?

Nicole: It’s different somehow.

Ej: Different bad or different good?

Nicole: Different good.

Ej: Mm. Then I guess the question is, was it good enough to make you forget about rafe?

[Both laugh]

Ava: So… you ran into nicole?

Rafe: Mm-hmm. I was leaving the dimera house, and then she showed up to have dinner with ej.

Ava: Mind telling me what you two talked about?

Rafe: Just hear me out. I understand. I know that you want to put what happened behind us. I do, and there’s nothing more that I would want than to give you what you want. I’m trying so damn hard to put it out of my mind. I just– I don’t know if I can right now. Or maybe…even ever. Just gave her an update on kristen.

Ava: Why?

Rafe: Why? Because last time kristen was here, she held nicole and holly hostage and impersonated her. And so I was just reassuring her that it wasn’t gonna happen again.

Ava: Okay, I see. Of course.

Rafe: And then ej, he showed up, so I started grilling him about what he knew.

Ava: And what did he have to say?

Rafe: He just said he was keeping his distance from kristen, and I don’t believe him. I mean, I know that those two are close; I think he’s lying through his teeth.

Belle: Philip’s dna report is already in the hospital database.

Shawn: How do you know that?

Belle: Oh, please. He’s had more than his fair share of paternity tests.

Shawn: Oh, you’re right.

Belle: Mm.

Shawn: And forensics already sent over the dna report of the blood on the knife.

Belle: So you just need to call and see if it’s a match.

Shawn: Exactly what I was thinking. Thank you.

Belle: [Sighs] Brady, what have you done?

Chloe: Shawn is now treating this as a homicide.

Brady: [Sighs] Oh, god.

Chloe: But it’s shawn. He’ll keep an open mind.

Brady: Chloe, it’s no secret that philip and I have been at each other’s throats lately.

Chloe: Well, there’s something else I didn’t tell you.

Brady: Might as well just tell me–what?

Chloe: Well, when I was with you and you finally came to, you looked at me and you said, “screw philip. He doesn’t deserve you.”

Brady: I’ve been saying stuff like that for weeks. Doesn’t mean that it entered my mind to stab him.

[Sighs] Chloe, I wouldn’t hurt him. He’s family. Serena: It’s my 3:10

Brady: Chloe, listen to me. Listen to me. Look at me. I swear on my kids’ lives, I did not attack philip. I would’ve remembered if I did.

Chloe: It’s just shawn’s theory for now.

Brady: I don’t give a damn what shawn thinks. I care about what you think. It’s important to me. Do you think I did something to philip?

[Dramatic music]

Belle: Well?

Shawn: Well, you were right. Philip’s dna report was available. All they had to do was compare the two, and… it’s a match. It’s philip’s blood on that knife.

Allie: Oh, you’re a hero.

Lucas: Yeah, right. Get outta here

Allie: You are. You brought mom home.

Lucas: Yeah, well, if I had known she was gonna go back to ej, maybe I would’ve left her there.

Allie: Dad.

Lucas: What? Just kidding. I mean, sort of.

Nicole: Hmm. Is sex with you good enough for me to forget about rafe? Huh, I am gonna have to mull that over.

[Both laugh]

Ej: Oh, that’s not what I was hoping for.

Nicole: No? What about you? Were you able forget all about your passionate nights with your precious samantha?

Ej: Samantha. I don’t believe I know anyone by that name.

Nicole: Oh.

Ej: Mm.

[Suspenseful music]

What do you want from me?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: When are you gonna

be fed up and come home?

You have a family here.

Me, thomas, mom, we love

you and we don’t want

to see you hurting.

We miss our family, dad.

I miss you. Finn? I thought you weren’t going to finish your shift till late. Mom.

Taylor: Hi, sweetheart. I’m back.

Ridge: How’s that? A little better?

Brooke: Oh yeah, that’s much better. Ugh.

Ridge: You shouldn’t do that. You carry so much tension in your shoulders.

Brooke: I know. But I won’t, you know, if I have your big, strong hands wrapped around me.

Ridge: Oh yeah? You know, there are other ways you can get rid of tension. And I don’t just mean upstairs. I mean, you could uh, send deacon packing.

Brooke: Uh… really not that simple.

Ridge: Yeah, I know. Probably not.

[Notification rings] Do you mind just…

Brooke: [Clearing throat] It’s thomas. “Overstep?” What is he talking about, overstep?

Ridge: We were having a conversation. Yesterday, I ran into thomas and steffy after I left here, ’cause I needed some air and they um, they were just talking about their childhood, you know? And, about their mother.

Brooke: Their mother?

Ridge: Yeah. They reminded me that I do have another family, with them and taylor.

[Knocking]

Deacon: Yeah, I’m up. I’m up. Come on in. Hey. Uh, the bathroom’s clean. Is there something else you need?

Paul: Look, as long as everything is spotless when the health inspector gets here, a’right?

Deacon: Okay.

Paul: We’re gonna open soon, so I’ve got to start stocking the bar. I just wanted to let you know you have a visitor.

Deacon: A visitor?

Sheila: Well, well, well, well… so, this is where you’re living… in a storage closet.

[Chuckles]

Deacon: This is, uh, just temporary. Until I get back on my feet.

Sheila: You know… this is– this is really ridiculous. Why don’t you just come back to my hotel… … with me?

Deacon: No.

Sheila: Why not?

Deacon: Because I don’t want to let hope and brooke down.

Sheila: Well hope, I understand. But brooke? Seriously?

Brooke: Well, that’s kind of a strange way to put it. I mean, it’s not like you have a second life or another family… and you were always there for them, ridge. I hope you’re not feeling guilty. Are you? I mean, if you are you should spend a little more time with them. I love steffy and thomas. I was there when they were little. I mean, I helped raise them with you. I don’t want them to feel like that. They need to feel secure in their relationship with their father… especially considering who their mother is…

Ridge: And what is that supposed to mean?

Brooke: Well, if they’re really upset about about their little lost “family,” then they should look at their mother. Taylor wasn’t even here for steffy’s wedding. She’s somewhere half-way around the world doing her volunteer work. If she really wanted to be here, she could have, ridge.

Ridge: Let’s not make it sound like she was on vacation, somewhere. She’s working. She’s in africa helping people, people who really need it. She’s been through a lot. What sheila did. I don’t even know what that would do to a person so we should try not to, uh, to say anything against taylor.

Steffy: Mom! I can’t believe you’re here. The one and only taylor hayes is in L.A. What? Did thomas know about this? I’m gonna smack him for not saying anything.

Taylor: No, no, I didn’t tell a soul. I wanted to surprise both of you.

Steffy: Well, you did. Com– come on, here. Let me get your bags. Tell me everything. What is going on here?

Taylor: Everything? Oh gosh, where do I start? How much time do you have?

Steffy: All the time that you can give. I mean, finn’s at work; the kids are napping…

Taylor: Oh.

Steffy: I’m sure you’re dying to see them and hold them… oh, my goodness.

Taylor: Yes. Oh, my gosh, my beautiful granddaughter. And my, beautiful little boy, my namesake. You bet I am.

Steffy: I could wake them up

Taylor: Uh, no. No, don’t do that. Don’t do that. I’ll peek in on them. We can save the hugs for later. But not too much later.

Steffy: Fair warning: You’re not gonna wanna let them go.

Taylor: I’m sure.

Steffy: I can’t believe it! You’re here. What? This is amazing. Oh, my goodness. Hi. So you’re the scientist here.

Paul: Hey deacon?

Deacon: YeaH.

Paul: Do you mind running these waters over to this table?

Deacon: Sure.

Sheila: Wait.

Deacon: What?

Sheila: Seriously, you are working and, and sleeping here?

Deacon: Yeah, what of it?

Sheila: Are you certain that’s a wise decision, crashing at a bar?

Deacon: A restaurant that happens to have a bar. And I’m fine, thank you. I’m avoiding the bottles. Trying to avoid you…

Sheila: Ooh. Ouch. So, you would rather sleep with a mop than sleep with me? Come on. Why don’t you just come back to the hotel? I’ve got more than enough space.

Deacon: No, no. I can’T. Alright? If I get caught hanging out with you, I’m never gonna have a chance to have a place in my daughter’s life. Ridge will make sure of it.

Brooke: Okay, look. I don’t want to make a big deal about this. I don’T. I understand. But what does bother me is thomas and steffy chatting you up, saying how much better your life was with their mother.

Ridge: Is that what you heard?

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: I don’t remember saying any– what I said was, they were feeling a little bit nostalgic.

Brooke: Oh, that’s conveniently-timed nostalgia. It was right after you left here angry with me.

Ridge: I’m not angry with you. I’m angry with the situation. I love you. Look at you. How can I… and I can’t hide my feelings about deacon. And about the decision that you and hope are making, I think it’s wrong.

Hope: Sorry, I just…

[Sighs] You two are talking about my dad.

Ridge: Yeah, talking about your dad. Unless he just magically disappeared. You know how this is gonna end. You’re gonna get hurt. There’s a way to avoid this. Doesn’t have to be that way. Why don’t– why don’t you help her? Step up and tell her who this man really is. Why are you guys not listening to me?

Taylor: Kelly’s getting so big.

Steffy: I know.

Taylor: Oh, and hayes, that sweet, little boy… seeing him up close. It is so much better than on the computer.

Steffy: Oh, right? I mean, we loved video chatting with you but nothing compares to having you here. I miss you.

Taylor: Oh, I miss you, too. I’m sorry it’s been so long.

Steffy: Oh, I–I understand. You’ve been busy with work, and volunteering around the world… making a real difference. And I’m really proud of you.

Taylor: Well, thank you. But I should’ve come back for your wedding.

Steffy: I would have liked that. But finn and I understood. It’s fine. Yeah, we und– we understand. You had your reasons.

Taylor: As much as I wanted to be here for you, the thought of sitting across from your father and brooke… I– after all these years, I still find it so difficult. I just… I loved our family so much. I still do–

Steffy: Oh, I know. I understand that completely. And don’t worry about the wedding. All that matters is that you’re here. Motrin works fast to stop pain where it starts.

Sheila: Oh… you’re nervous about the sexual tension between us, aren’t you?

Deacon: Oh, god. You got me. Come on, sheila, we’re friends. That’s it. And even just saying that is flirting with disaster.

Sheila: Well, actually it wouldn’t take much flirting at all. Just come back to the hotel with me. Let’s see what happens.

Deacon: I think I’m better off cuddling with my mop, okay? But, thank you.

Sheila: Okay, fine. But, you know what? This really has nothing to do with threatening your relationship with hope at all, does it? No. This has to do with brooke and this insane idea that you still have in your mind that– that you have a future with her. It’s never gonna happen.

Deacon: What can I say? A boy can dream.

Sheila: What are you doing?

Deacon: I want to do something special for hope and I don’t know what so I thought maybe I’d, you know, I’d text brooke and ask her for some ideas…

Sheila: Oh.

Deacon: What?

Sheila: This has nothing to do with hope. No. You are– you are doing everything you can to reach out to brooke, aren’t you?

Deacon: Bye.

Brooke: I wish you would just trust us.

Ridge: But trusting you means trusting deacon, and I can’t do that.

Hope: Okay, what has he done that’s so horrible since he’s gotten out of prison? Can you name one thing?

Ridge: I can name 20 things but let’s start with one– he hooked up with sheila.

Hope: Okay, okay, that was not the best judgment. But he realized that and he ended things.

Ridge: No, he ended things because he realized how it would look to you. Why do you guys not see that I’m– I’m here because I want to take care of both of you.

Brooke: And we love you for that. But it’s really not necessary.

[Phone dinging] Hope knows that deacon might be a disappointment to her but if she’s willing to take that chance, then…

Ridge: That’s him, isn’t it?

Brooke: Yes.

Ridge: Fantastic. See, that’s what I’m talking about. Why– why does he do this? Why is he around here? He thinks he owns this place? He can text you? He can call you? He can’t do that? How does he get your number? He represents the worst mistake of your life and you’re about to make it again.

Taylor: I love the work I’m doing. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given. It’s immensely satisfying helping others… but if I’m being honest, moving to paris, signing up for missionary work… it was all a convenient excuse to stay away. Being far from home, often unreachable. It just made it easier on me.

Steffy: You don’t– you don’t have to say it. I understand. You didn’t want to put on a fake smile, and pretend to be happy while dad lived out his fantasy with brooke. I get it.

Taylor: I don’T. I should’ve let go a long time ago. Why do I still hold onto the hurt from losing your father?

Steffy: Because you thought he was “the one,” mom.

Taylor: Okay, enough about that. I have missed you so much. And I am so proud of you for finding the greatest husband in finn– even though his birth mother is sheila carter. My god.

Steffy: I know.

Taylor: She is not going to cause you any more trouble as long as I’m here. I promise you that.

Steffy: You have no idea how much I needed to hear that. I’m so happy you’re here! Please tell me, you’ll stay for a while.

Taylor: I think I might.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Thank god.

When you have nausea,

Ridge: I’m begging you, both of you: See my side.

Brooke: I do, ridge. I promise you. But how can I deny hope the opportunity to get to know her father? I shielded her from deacon her entire childhood. And rightfully so. But now she’s a grown woman. She can take care of herself.

Ridge: You’re gonna take care of her and you’re gonna protect her until the day you die. It’s never gonna end.

Hope: And I appreciate that, I do. But ultimately, it is my decision to make. And I have chosen to have my dad be a part of my life. And– and if there are consequences, then I will live with them–

Ridge: When there are consequences. When. Hope, I get it. You want to believe in him. And you know what? Who knows? Maybe you’re right. Maybe he is on the straight and narrow, maybe… maybe he is a changed man. Maybe this is not a con. But one day it will be. And it’s gonna end up the way it always ends up–

Hope: And until that day, I will have spent some quality time with my dad, which is something I haven’t gotten much of in my life.

Ridge: No, I understand. You want that little girl fantasy with your daddy. That’s what you want. And what about you? You know who he is. You know exactly who he is. And you know how I feel about him. And still you– I can’t do this.

Brooke: Ridge. Ridge, wait! Ah!

Sheila: No response. How shocking.

Deacon: She’s probably taking her time so she can come up with some really good ideas, alright?

Sheila: You know, I wouldn’t hold your breath.

Deacon: Okay, yeah. I get that you’re jealous but you don’t have to be snarky–

Sheila: Well, wouldn’t you be? If I were making great strides with my son and you weren’t with your daughter?

Deacon: Look, it’s gonna happen for ya. At least I hope it will for your sake. I gotta tell ya, it’s an amazing feeling getting to know my daughter and knowing that brooke supports it? I can’t blow this.

Sheila: You really think you’ve got a shot with brooke?

Deacon: I don’t know. Listen, brooke and ridge’s little romance has survived a hell of a lot worse than me but maybe… just maybe there’s a glimmer of hope?

[Chuckles] It’s the smile. I’m very charming.

Hope: Are you alright? Because ridge just stormed out once again.

Brooke: Yeah, well. It’s okay. He just needs time to think. It’s just really hard on him. It’s hard on me too. But eventually, he’s going to have to accept your decision. He just has to. Honey. Don’t worry, okay? Everything’s gonna be just fine. Ridge and I are solid. Nothing or no one is going to come between us.

Ridge: Oh, steffy. Sorry for coming by unannounced but didn’t want to drink alone.

Taylor: Hey, ridge.

Ridge: Taylor.

Steffy: Dad, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to–

Ridge: No, no, don’t apologize for how you feel.

But still, brooke is your wife and I don’t–

Thomas:–And so is mom. You loved her. Dad, I know you did.

Ridge: Yeah, I did. I loved taylor. We had… many happy years together.

Thomas: And many not so happy, courtesy of brooke.

Ridge: That can’t have been easy for you guys, I’m sorry.

Steffy: We’re not blaming you. It’s just… we miss our family. You know, the family we could have been if you hadn’t left mom for brooke.

Hope: I think we should hopefully, ideally–

Brooke: I know, I know–

[Talking over each other]

Brooke: Remember?

Hope: Dad, is everything alright?

Deacon: Yeah. Uh, I’m– I’m just gonna have to get going pretty soon.

Brooke: Are you meeting somebody later?

Deacon: Yeah. Yeah, hot date with gal gadot.

Hope: Uh… um, okay. Well, are the three of us all right, then? We’re good?

Deacon: Uh, I’m good. You good, brooke?

Hope: Mom… I mean, dad is a changed man. He’s proving it every day.

Deacon: Hope, unfortunately, some people don’t want to see that.

Yeah, well– it– what you said, all you want is acceptance and love and family. And I know I’m seeing it. And I think you do too. Don’t you, mom?

Bill: If only hope hadn’t written all those letters to deacon while he was in prison–

Liam: I know, but that’s the thing. It’s hard to blame her for that part ’cause like it or not, the guy is her father.

Bill: Eh. Come on. In name only. That poor excuse for a man has been M.I.A. For basically the entirety of hope’s life. Now suddenly what? The- the convict has sprouted angel wings and he’s trying to bond with his– with his kind-hearted, well-connected daughter? It has con written all over it.

Liam: I know but hope doesn’t see that.

Bill: Yeah, because she has daddy issues. So, beep-beep-beep-beep-boop. He’s pushing all of her emotional buttons and she is falling for it. Now look, I know you’ve tried to give her some much needed perspective. But liam, you’re gonna have to try harder ’cause it ain’t working. You can not let deacon get close to your wife and children. You can’t let that happen.

Liam: I mean, I hear what you’re saying, I agree with what you’re saying, it’s just–

Bill: It- it’s a delicate situation, I get that.

Liam: Yeah, I– I can’t just tell my wife what to do.

Bill: Liam, you– your marriage is only part of the equation. What about your family? Right? Sharpe has already wormed his way back into hope’s life in record time while his next target is gonna be his granddaughter. My grand–! Sorry. My granddaughter. Before you know it, he’s going to be bouncing beth on his knee if you don’t do something to stop it.

Liam: Like what? What am I supposed to do? I mean– game this out with me, okay? Say I go to hope and I say, “I’m drawing a line in the sand. Deacon is allowed nowhere near our daughter. How do you think hope is going to react to that? I’ll tell you what I think. I think it’s not only gonna put a strain on our marriage, it’s gonna push her closer to deacon!

Bill: Maybe. But if you don’t do nothing, he’s gonna get further entrenched in your lives. And that’s absolutely the last thing you want.

Hope: It’s okay to admit it. It’s not being disloyal to ridge. It’s just acknowledging that deacon has been trying–

Deacon: Sweetheart, I– I appreciate your support. I really do. But, your mom’s in a tough place here. I don’t want to make it any worse. I mean, on the one hand, you’re her daughter, ridge is her husband. She wants to be supportive of both of you.

Hope: Even if ridge is making that increasingly difficult?

[Brooke groans gently]

Ridge: I know, uh, I know I could’ve handled that situation better. It was complicated. Feelings are complicated.

Thomas: Yeah, your feelings for mom and your feelings for brooke.

Steffy: How you went back and forth between them, for years.

Ridge: Okay, I-I can only imagine how hard that was for you… phoebe. But you gotta know that my love for you never waivered. Ever.

Steffy: Of course we know that. Always.

Thomas: Yeah, still doesn’t change the fact that you chose a life with brooke over us and our mother, does it?

Liam: After–

Waiter: I’ll take this when you’re ready.

Liam: Thanks.

Bill: Thanks.

Liam: After everything hope and I have been through–

[Chuckles] You know, like, the thing with beth and then vinny and now this– I– I swear to god, there’s like– there’s this dark cloud just hanging over our heads.

Bill: Deacon is a dark cloud, alright. But he can be managed. You just have to go about it the right way. You sure you don’t want me to step in?

Liam: No, no. No. It’s just– it would get too complicated, wiht you in the picture. Especially since as you know, once upon a time, hope was advising me to steer clear of you and for some pretty good reasons. The only difference is hope didn’t order me not to have you in my life.

Bill: Which is what she thinks you’re trying to do with her father now.

Liam: I love my wife. You know? I admire her. I admire the things that she’s accomplished. So, I don’t want to look like I’m being disrespectful to her or insensitive to her.

Bill: Oh, come on, liam. You could never do either one of those things. You are a kind, caring, compassionate man. You are in touch with your wife’s feelings. That’s what makes you such a great husband. But you are not wrong about deacon. And just because hope doesn’t see it, doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Deacon was, is and will always will be big time trouble.

Brooke: I appreciate syour concern, deacon, I do. But ridge and I are just fine. He just needs time to cool off.

Deacon: Sorry. Something tells me no amount of “cooling off” is gonna get ridge to change his opinion of me. He’s thinks I’m here to wreck your life and yours. Deacon sharpe: Human bulldozer.

Hope: Okay, dad, don’t even joke about that. I hate that ridge thinks of you that way. Because it– it basically led to him ordering my family to move out all because he just doesn’t want you around. And if mom hadn’t taken a stand, not only for me but for you too, then…

Brooke: Well, nobody’s gonna force my daughter out of here. That’s not gonna happen. You live here with your husband and with your children. And you can stay here for as long as you want. Do I wish things didn’t escalate the way they did? Yes, of course. Do I wish ridge handled things differently? Yes. But I know my husband. He’s just really frustrated. And he thinks he’s doing the best for us, hope.

Hope: I understand that, I do. But like I told ridge, if I am wrong about my dad– which I am not– then I will live with the consequences. I just– I don’t want it to create a wedge between you two.

Brooke: I won’t let that happen.

Deacon: Maybe not, brooke. But as long as I’m in the picture in any way… let’s just say you’re going to have your work cut out for you when it comes to ridge.

Steffy: Dad, we’re not trying to make you feel guilty.

Ridge: Mm-hm.

Steffy: Thomas and I know there were extenuating circumstances when our family broke up.

Thomas: And we know that you have always had a special place in your heart for mom.

Ridge: Absolutely. She’s a lovely woman and a lovely mother.

Thomas: She’s just not brooke. And thank god for that-

Ridge: Okay, st– you know what? No. I know you both have your problems with brooke. But she’s part of our family. It’s– it’s a dysfunctional family but it’s working.

Thomas: Except when it doesn’t, like right now.

Steffy: Like when brooke sides with her daughter.

Ridge: No one is taking sides. Okay, alright. Maybe she is taking sides.

Thomas: Logans stick together. They put each other first.

Steffy: You know who used to put you first? Mom.

Thomas: She misses you, dad.

Steffy: Look, I know thomas and I get to spend so much time with you but we miss our family.

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: Me, thomas, mom and you.

Bill: Sharpe is definitely running a con. The first move was to win back his daughter, have hope fully on his side so when he makes his move– whenever that turns out to be– everyone’s guards will be down and never see it coming.

Liam: You think that’s what this is?

Bill: I know that’s what it is. Come on, liam, you know your dad. I swim with the biggest corporate sharks in the world. I have been around the block. I know what I’m looking at. Once a con man, always a con man. Not that sharpe’s ever been particularly good at it. But that doesn’t mean he can’t do some damage. So you are absolutely right to want to keep hope and the kids as far away from him as possible. And if that means upsetting hope, so be it. You are a man protecting his family. There is no fault in that.

[Phone dinging]

Hope: That gal gadot again?

Deacon: Will not leave me alone. I– I don’t even know what to do with this girl. Ah, seriously though, um, I just– I just want you to know how much it means to me that you’ve accepted me and you’ve welcomed me here. It really does mean everything. And I just want to point one thing out: That I haven’t hit either of you up for anything– no handouts. Because the old deacon definitely would have been working every angle he could to get what he wanted. And you know, I’m just– I’m not that guy anymore. I think I really realize what’s important and that’s– that’s being in your life, being your dad and being in your life as our daughter’s dad.

Hope: Well I believe in you. And I’m proud of you, too.

Thomas: This is not something that steffy and i just sit around talking about. But dad, it’s never been the same, y’know? I mean our family, when it was whole, when we were together, when we had our mother with us…

Steffy: We’re not blaming you. You were being pulled in two different directions. Brooke was relentless.

Thomas: Yeah. And she’s doing it again. She’s forcing you to make a choice. This time not between our mother and her, but still a choice, nevertheless.

Steffy: That choice is gonna end in heartache for both of them. Hope and brooke are insisting that deacon be welcomed and accepted regardless of his past and the damage he’s caused.

Thomas: And we can see the toll it’s taking on you.

Steffy: Yeah, we can see it. But I don’t think brooke can.

Thomas: And like you said, steffy, uh, brooke has always been surrounded by scandal and deacon was her greatest scandal ever. Now he’s back for a repeat performance and she should be thinking of the implications of that, but she’s not, she’s not thinking at all.

Steffy: Dad, we love you. And we know you love brooke. We’ve accepted that. And honestly, no matter how old we get, we’re always gonna wonder what things would have been like if you stayed with mom instead of choosing brooke and the logans. Do you wonder that too, sometimes?

Deacon: Hey, paul.

Paul: ‘Bout time. Didn’t you get my texts?

Deacon: Yeah. I was with my daughter. What’s up?

Paul: So the health inspector’s coming tomorrow. The manager wants the kitchen scrubbed, top to bottom.

Deacon: Okay. Anything else?

Paul: Bathrooms. Don’t forget that.

Deacon: I think I really realize what’s important and that’s– that’s being in your life, being your dad.

Hope: Well, I believe in you. And I’m proud of you, too.

Liam: You know, it was kinda nice just catching up with my dad, today. I realized I don’t see him that often outside of work.

Hope: So, it’s uh… good to have that fatherly presence around. Right? I mean, I just wish you might understand why…

Liam: Why you would want someone like deacon om your life?.

Hope: You and I didn’t always have our fathers as part of our lives growing up and now you do have bill to rely on–

Liam: I– I– alright, I… I know. I know. I know that, that my dad, like deacon, is no saint. I mean. Both of these guys are of morally ambiguous character and that’s putting it generously. Okay? I know that. But here’s the difference: All of bill spencer’s flaws, his ruthlessness, his, his callousness, his– his total allergy to playing by the rules, all of that gets channeled into his family, providing for us, protecting us, giving us opportunities that I never even dreamed possible. With deacon… it’s the exact opposite. Of that. Deacon sharpe doesn’t give. He takes. It’s just… it’s, it’s not the same.

Hope: Hm. And I know you feel that way, liam. And I get it. You are just trying to look out for me and our family but I am asking as your wife, to trust me and to have faith in me because I do believe in my dad.

[Liam sighs]

Brooke: Hi.

Ridge: Hi.

Brooke: You know, I’m just gonna be straight up with you. I was down talking to hope and deacon showed up.

Ridge: Yeah, well, he never misses an opportunity, does he?

Brooke: Look, I don’t want to argue about deacon. I don’t want to argue about anything. I just want you to realize that you can’t throw hope out. That really hurt me, ridge.

Ridge: I didn’t mean to hurt you, that wasn’T….

Brooke: I know that you’re just trying to protect us, but it’s not necessary.

Ridge: Oh. Because deacon’s changed. I forgot, you’re right.

Brooke: No. I’m not naive.

Ridge: Mm…?

Brooke: I’m not. I had my eyes wide open the second deacon came back in town. In fact, I’ve been as skeptical as you’ve been, maybe even more so. I’ve noticed a difference. He has changed.

Ridge: Oh man. You know, I want to believe that. I really do but I don’T. You know what I think is gonna happen? What always happens. He’s gonna find himself a bar or two. He’s gonna start drinking again he’s gonna run out of money. He’s going to come to you, or hope. And in the end, someone’s gonna get hurt. He hasn’t changed at all.

[Sighing]

Deacon: I mean you’re my kid it’s only natural that we’d want to get to know each other. Brooke, what you’ve done… and it’s amazing how you, sticking up for hope, accepting our relationship together. It means more to me than I can put into words.

Phyllis: Hey! I feel like we just parted ways, and now here you are. I’m not insinuating you’re here to — I don’t know why you’re here, right? How would I know? Welcome to the grand — hey!

Billy: Thanks for coming to meet me.

Jack: Yeah, it sounded important.

Billy: Sorry to interrupt.

Phyllis: No problem.

Jack: So what’s going on?

Billy: Well, I woke up with a great idea, and I need you to help me execute it.

Jack: Okay.

Billy: I would like you to join me and buy chanccomm from my mother.

Adam: Hey. Fueling up for the workday?

Sally: Yeah, just a little caffeine and some brain food to get my wheels turning.

Adam: Mm. Do you mind if I join you?

Sally: Not at all. I’d love the company.

Adam: So I was — was thinking about what you said yesterday about your run-in with billy.

Sally: Oh? ‘Cause I distinctly remember you telling me to stay out of your business with him.

Adam: Um…I had a change of heart. Sounds like he was in quite a state. Maybe you could find out more about what’s going on with him.

Sally: Are you asking me to spy for you?

Sharon: Do you have a busy day planned?

Rey: I’m wrapping up a case, and I’m off to see chance. What about you? You gonna be here all day?

Sharon: Yeah. Um, well, it’s a little slow, though. If it stays this way, I might pop back at home and grab a book. What was the name of that murder mystery novel you liked so much?

Rey: You want to read that? When I told you about it, it seemed a little graphic for your taste.

Sharon: Maybe, but I think I’ll just give it a try. You made it sound so good.

Rey: Yeah, but I already told you whodunit. I spoiled the ending.

Sharon: Oh, yeah. Yeah, I forgot about that.

Rey: Yeah? You forgot about the crooked mayor with the eye patch? What’s going on?

Sharon: Nothing.

Rey: No, no, you might as well fess up because when I set my mind on getting to the truth, I can be pretty tireless in my questioning.

Sharon: The downside of being married to a detective. Fine!

[ Sighs ] I needed a little guidance with getting you a christmas gift, and I was thinking of buying you the rest of the series by that author. You know, you may be a great husband, but you’re impossible to buy a gift for.

Rey: I don’t need gifts. All I need is you.

Abby: Dom is all fed and now we can laze around like a normal married couple.

Chance: I love it.

Abby: [ Chuckles ] I am so happy that we left that party early last night because you just got home, and I don’t want to share you with anybody.

Chance: Oh, gosh, I feel the same way.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Chance: Hey, did you get new throw pillows?

Abby: I did, yep, yep. I wasn’t a fan of the old ones, and apparently dominic wasn’t either, because he spit up all over them.

[ Chuckles ] Hey, he’s got good taste. We might have an interior designer on our hands.

Chance: I’m sorry I missed that.

Abby: There will be plenty more spit-up to come.

Chance: Yeah, yeah, I know. It’s just, you know, I look around and I see little things that remind me of the moments that I missed. I don’t know, it just makes me feel sad and guilty.

Abby: Hey. Don’t do that to yourself. All that matters is that you’re home and we’re safe. There are plenty more precious moments.

Chance: You got that right.

[ Chuckles ]

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Sharon: I appreciate your kind words about not needing anything. However, I am going to get you a christmas gift. The problem is, I have no idea where to start.

Rey: Oh, come on, sharon, I’m not that hard to shop for.

Sharon: What? Are you kidding? I have bought you like three shirts that still have the tags on them because you’ve never worn them. And I just want to get you something that you really like and appreciate.

Rey: Well, what about a couple of plane tickets to the beach? We could get away, just the two of us.

Sharon: Good idea. Very bad timing. Your partner just came back.

Rey: True. Okay. Rain check on the beach.

Sharon: See? You’re harder to buy for than you realize, and if you don’t give me any guidance, you’re gonna end up with a lump of coal under the tree.

Rey: Oh, really? No, I just — I just keep thinking about last year. You already gave me the perfect gift — you in that gorgeous dress, walking down that aisle.

Sharon: Well, I think I got the perfect gift, but you’re right, we cannot top last year because we’re not going to get married again. But still, I want to try.

Adam: Look, I’m not asking you to go full-on mata hari, okay? I’m just requesting, since you have developed some sort of rapport with billy, that if you notice any strange or concerning behavior, you could casually share it with me. No pressure. It’s not an assignment.

Sally: Oh, good, ’cause my business is in fashion and not gossip, and, yes, there is a difference. Usually.

Adam: Okay. Didn’t mean to offend you. Sometimes it’s hard to tell.

Sally: Despite your continued reassurances that this is not gonna negatively affect newman media or my career, i can’t help but feeling on edge about it, ’cause just when i thought things were dying down between the two of you, now you want more intel on billy?

Adam: It’s not any kind of corporate espionage. It couldn’t be because billy is not involved in a corporate entity anymore.

Sally: Yeah, that’s right. You bested him. So what’s with your continued interest? I need to know your motives for this to make sense.

Adam: Maybe I’m asking out of genuine concern.

Sally: Right.

Adam: Look, it was not my intention to push billy over the edge. I’m not that vicious. That would be crossing a line that I don’t want to cross.

Billy: So, my mother has decided to put chanccomm up for sale — best bid wins — and I’m hoping that my personal connection to her will help me get a family discount.

Jack: Okay, okay, okay. Slow down. I have read that the division is on the market, but why would we want to buy chanccomm if it’s facing a major lawsuit from ashland locke?

Billy: Locke’s lawsuit is based on a lie. I still believe that there’s evidence out there to prove that he is a criminal, okay? And I would like the opportunity to dig in and to fight.

Jack: Okay, I think that there’s more to this than you’ve said to this point, so spill the rest.

Billy: Well, you’d also get a big win over victor. Something that you’ve been looking for for a very long time. Look, the way adam and victor treated me, I really don’t want to give them the company that they desperately want.

Jack: And there it is.

Billy: Jack.

[ Sighs ] I’m asking for your help one last time. This is my only shot to get myself out of this mess. Please don’t let me down. Nyquil severe gives you powerful relief

Chance: Oh, I love it.

Abby: Is there anything special you want to do today?

Chance: Oh, I just want to spend the day with you.

Abby: Okay.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

Chance: Oh, hold on. Oh, it’s my mom.

Abby: Aww.

Chance: Hey, mom.

Nina: Hi! How’s my boy?

Chance: Oh, we are so good. I’m so good.

Nina: Are you really? Because I’m having a hard time believing that this is all real. I mean, I know I saw your face when you first called me to tell me that you were alive, but when I woke up this morning, I had to remind myself that this isn’t all a dream.

Chance: [ Chuckles ] Well, I hope talking to me convinces you.

Nina: Oh, it’s so good to see you alive and breathing. Are you eating okay? You look like you might’ve lost some weight. How’s your leg injury?

Chance: Mom, mom, I am fine. Abby’s taking great care of me. Having her and dom by my side, it’s just done wonders already.

Nina: Oh, I’m so glad. I can’t wait to get back to genoa city to see you with your son. I wish it could be today, but i promise it’ll be soon.

Chance: Well, I’m not going anywhere.

Nina: Yeah, I’ve heard that before.

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Chance: Well, this time i mean it.

Jack: Billy, I’m gonna have to say no.

Billy: Why?

Jack: Because I think buying chanccomm is a bad idea.

Billy: But you were willing to invest when lily and I before we went after cyaxares. What’s the difference?

Jack: There are plenty of differences. Originally, I was willing to invest in you because I thought it’s what you needed in your life at the time.

Billy: Everything was fine before we went after cyaxares. Business was great, and lily and I were in a happy, healthy relationship.

Jack: But you couldn’t keep that going.

Billy: That’s actually not true, jack. Lily and I are still in a happy, healthy relationship, and business was doing fantastic before adam and victor set their trap.

Jack: A trap you walked right into, billy.

Billy: I don’t know what you want me to say to that.

Jack: There’s nothing to say. Actions speak louder than words. I’ve been here before. Billy, I am not going to enable your latest addiction.

Billy: Addiction? To what?

Jack: To power, to vengeance, to the latest ultimate gamble.

Billy: Well, that’s a crazy way to look at this. You know, you’re just taking everything and twisting it into some narrative you have about me. I mean, jack, I couldn’t put a quarter in a vending machine without people saying I’m gambling on whether the soda’s gonna come out or not. Everything I do is either addiction-based or obsessive. The truth is, all I was doing was my job — looking for a story. And what I found was the truth.

Jack: Which you exploited to your own advantage. Until adam and victor turned the table on you. Look, it’s over. Let it go.

Billy: Yeah, that’s clearly easy for you to say.

Jack: Billy, I want nothing more than your happiness and your success, but not this way.

Billy: I mean, I can’t count on you for anything, can I?

Jack: Don’t say that. Come on, back up and listen to yourself. Listen to how desperate you sound. This is not rational business discussion. After what you did at victoria’s wedding, I don’t think going after chanccomm is the right path for you. There are too many temptations, too many possible triggers. There’s got to be other options for you. Have you thought about those? Because jill made it very clear she’s handing over control of chancellor industries to lily.

Billy: Yeah, that is true, but it doesn’t mean chanccomm’s got to go with it.

Jack: Okay, you can always come back to jabot. The door is always open for you there. But whatever you decide, there has to be balance in your life. You have to give up this need to hurt adam.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] That’s not what this is about. This is actually a good opportunity for you.

Jack: Billy, I’ve made my decision. I’m not gonna change my mind.

Phyllis: Hey. Are you okay?

Jack: It was a difficult conversation.

Phyllis: Oh, I bet I know what it is. I was talking to billy the other day and he was saying that jill and lily were discussing the fate of chanccomm. So, really, it’s for sale after one lawsuit?

Jack: I think jill’s trying to make a point. Billy has his priorities confused again.

Rey: Well, I’m guessing none of this turned out the way you hoped it would.

Billy: I got played. I walked into a trap I should’ve seen coming a mile away.

Rey: A trap?

Billy: Relax, rey. I don’t think it concerns you. And no matter what adam says about me blackmailing him, he simply misread the situation.

[ Sighs ] And he’s not the only one to do that. Biggest question I have right now — is it too early for a bloody mary? And I can get you one?

Rey: No. I’ll pass.

Billy: Are you on duty? Don’t tell me you’re here to make my day even worse.

New vicks convenience pack.

Esther: Hi, sharon.

Sharon: Esther, I haven’t seen you in a while.

Esther: Well, bella and miles have been keeping me busy. Oh, not that I’m complaining. I love spending time with my grandkids.

Sharon: I’m sure.

Esther: You know, we live under the same roof, and I take care of them every day while chloe and kevin are at work. You’d think it would be easy for me to find a perfect christmas gift for them.

Sharon: Well, judging by all of those bags, I think you did a good job.

Esther: I practically bought out the entire toy store because I couldn’t figure out what they’d like. I’m still not sure I got it right.

Sharon: Well, you’re making me feel better because I’m having the same problem with rey. I mean, I know everything about this man, and he is so difficult to shop for. You know, this is probably a long shot, but kevin works at the police station. Does he ever talk about his job? Maybe he said something about rey that could point me in the right direction.

Esther: Hmm. The only thing I remember kevin saying recently is that rey was happy that chance made it home safely.

Sharon: Well, we all are. It might be the best christmas gift any of us gets this year.

Sally: So you’re saying that you suddenly have empathy for billy?

Adam: Billy has far more reason to hate me than I do to hate him.

Sally: Yeah, I suppose that’s true, but in our last conversation, you told me not to feel too badly for him.

Adam: That was — it was just my reflexive response every time that I hear his name. But I’d like to believe that I’ve become a more evolved being. And I think I went too far. Yes, my father and I, we like to say that this is all purely business, but it’s impossible to deny that it’s personal, maybe too personal. I mean, after all, he is the father of my niece and nephew.

Sally: Okay, well, I’m not gonna call you cold or vicious, but you did warn me that things might get ugly between you and billy, and now…you’re expressing regret.

Adam: The concept is not completely foreign to me. I don’t want this battle to get any worse any more than you do. And you’re right, we could get hurt in the process.

Sally: So then why’d you go after him so hard to begin with?

Adam: Because I thought if i could shut him down and stop him from any kind of retaliation, it would end the war between us. At least for now. Because…I don’t think billy could take another loss like that.

Billy: I thought I was very clear, okay? There was no blackmail, no matter what victor and adam say. They are the guilty ones here. They — they — they hacked into chanccomm’s server to exert leverage over me, okay? I’m the one that should be pressing charges on them.

Rey: You done?

Billy: Yeah, I am.

Rey: I’m not arresting you.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Okay, good. I like to hear that. At least maybe something’s going my way for once.

Rey: The da didn’t think there was enough of a case to bring it to court.

Billy: Remind me to buy michael a bloody mary, then.

Rey: In the meantime, billy, let me give you some advice. Bending the law to get what you want never works out the way you hoped it would.

Billy: Did you tell the newmans that? Look, I think we can both agree right now we would like to table this discussion forever.

Rey: Done. And for whatever it’s worth, i hope I never have to slap cuffs on you again.

Billy: I appreciate that. But adam — different story, right?

Phyllis: Yeah, I mean, there’s no doubt that billy has to get his priorities straight. You know, I’m not judging — I’m not judging because sometimes, you know, I’ve been the same way. You know? But — but that’s how you learn in life. You have to learn from your mistakes, you know? And…sometimes, you know, priorities, they’ll shift.

Jack: Uh-huh.

Phyllis: You know, but — but — but not — not always. Sometimes they do stay the same. Do you know what I mean? Like with me, with me, if I have a friend, they will always be my friend and I will always have their back, and I will be loyal to the end.

Jack: Is everything alright with you?

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah. Why?

Jack: I don’t know, you seem a little off, and it’s perfectly understandable. You’ve been through an awful lot lately. I guess — I guess we both have. Is there maybe somewhere we could talk with a little privacy here?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sally: So let’s just say i happen to run into billy again. What kind of info would be helpful for you to squash this battle between you both?

Adam: You know what? Just forget I asked.

Sally: Okay, I don’t get it. Now you’re doing a complete 180?

Adam: Well, I just — i shouldn’t drag you into this.

Sally: Why not? You suddenly don’t trust me?

Adam: [ Sighs ] You were right to be wary from the beginning. We have no control over whether billy is self-destructing. Why should we interject ourselves in that? It’s the guy’s human nature. He has lily. He’s got family and friends that can help him with whatever’s going on. Let’s just hope he doesn’t drag too many people down with him.

Lily: Hey. You will not believe the conversation I just overheard.

Billy: Good or bad?

Lily: Well, guess. It was between adam and sally.

Billy: Adam finding new ways to trash me?

Lily: No, actually, it was the opposite.

Billy: Sally’s trashing me now.

Lily: No, he basically was telling her some lie about how he’s concerned for your welfare.

Billy: Like a hyena would be concerned about the animal it’s picking at for dinner.

Lily: Right, and then he asked her to spy on you.

Billy: Now, that makes more sense.

Lily: Yeah, I mean, I guess she filled him in on some conversation she had with you earlier.

Billy: As I thought she would.

Lily: So what exactly did you say to her?

Billy: I fed her a few appetizers, and she did exactly what I expected her to do. She went blabbing to her new go-to guy, and clearly adam wants more information, which means my plan is gonna work.

Sharon: Rey is going to visit chance today.

Esther: Oh, that’s wonderful. I thought about dropping by, but then I heard jill was in town. It’s one of the things I don’t miss about the chancellor mansion.

Sharon: Well, I’m sure chance would love to see you.

Esther: I remember when he was a tiny, little baby. I can’t believe that he has a son of his own now.

Sharon: Time flies.

Esther: When we thought that chance was dead, my heart broke for that little boy. I couldn’t believe that he’d be growing up without his daddy. Thank god that chance is alright.

Sharon: Well, I hope he really is okay and that he won’t have any lingering effects from everything he’s been through.

Esther: I didn’t realize that he was injured.

Sharon: Oh, well, from what I’ve heard, he’s made a full recovery physically. I’m just concerned about, you know, his emotional state. He’s been through a pretty traumatic experience.

Esther: Well, he has abby to lean on.

Sharon: I’m sure she’ll do everything she can for him. Just so much has changed since he left, you know? A year ago, he was a newlywed, and then he spent all this time away from his wife and now he’s suddenly a father. That’s — that’s got to be a huge adjustment.

Chance: I could totally get addicted to this app. Everything he does — every little coo and gurgle, it’s — it’s amazing.

Abby: Tell me about it. Try downloading it on your phone, you’ll never get anything done.

Chance: Well, what are we doing? Come on, let’s do it now.

[ Knock on door ]

Abby: I’ll get it. Rey.

Rey: Hey, abby. I wanted to —

Abby: Yeah, come inside.

Rey: Yeah.

Chance: Hey, man.

Rey: “Hey, man”? That’s it? I’m your partner. I thought you were dead. Oh.

Chance: I’m sorry, brother. I — I just don’t know the right words for this moment right now. It’s good to see you, man, really. It’s good to see you.

Rey: Yeah. Trust me, the feeling’s mutual. From what I heard, it’s a miracle that you’re alive.

Chance: Yeah, yeah, I got lucky.

Rey: Well, the chief wanted me to tell you that you’re welcome back to the station, whenever you’re ready. You’ve been through hell, so there’s no rush, but everyone down there misses you and can’t wait to see you.

Chance: I appreciate that, man. Thank you.

Abby: Well, obviously, it’s up to chance, but you were injured. He needs to rest and recover, so I agree with paul, you know? I — selfishly, I would like to spend some more time with you before you join the force.

Rey: Absolutely. No one’s pushing.

Chance: Good. ‘Cause I definitely need some time with abby and our new son.

Phyllis: And this doorknob, this one is sticking. You know what? I’m gonna replace all the hardware in this entire hotel to really high-end hardware. Like the doorknobs, this, the knobs on the dresser — all of it. I mean, you could really tell when something’s high end. You can really feel it. You don’t know it, but you can feel it.

Jack: Well, you are really all over the place.

Phyllis: What?

Jack: Well, I didn’t ask for privacy so I could get a lowdown on hotel renovations. Don’t get me wrong, you could read the phone book and make it entertaining, but you seem anxious. You seem jittery, like nervous for some reason.

Phyllis: Nervous? What — what do you mean?

Jack: Well, I don’t know why you would be. You’re — it’s not normal for you.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] It’s dumb.

Jack: And I have a feeling it’s my fault.

Phyllis: No! No, it’s not your fault. It’s me. It’s me.

Jack: I am not gonna let you take that on. From the moment I told you i still loved you, something shifted. Phyllis, since your break-up with nick, there has been this confusion between us, underneath the surface, but you know it’s there and I know it’s there, and I want to say, again, I am sorry.

Phyllis: You don’t need to be sorry for anything, jack. Please don’t do that. You have been so kind and generous and giving, and supporting me during my break-up with nick. And not only that, I mean, you were rooting for the two of us.

[ Chuckles ] To get back together. You’re that amazing. And then that over-the-top gesture at thanksgiving, I mean, honestly, my thanksgiving was going to be abysmal, and…

[ Sighs ] …You helped me. I mean, you — you single-handedly came to my rescue.

Jack: So my confessing my love for you didn’t change anything?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] I don’t know. Maybe it did. It’s life, you know? Things change. And it’s all cause and effect, anD… I just think our friendship — I think it’s stronger than ever, and if I have anything to do with it, it’s gonna stay that way. Clerk: Hello, how can I?

Chance: [ Chuckles ] I want to know everything. I want to know every little coo, every little gurgle he makes. You got to catch me up, please.

Abby: Mm, well, that’ll take some time.

[ Chuckles ]

Chance: We got all the time in the world, right?

Abby: Okay, where should i start?

Chance: How about the first day you brought him home?

Abby: Okay. Um…well, I was nervous. Terrified, actually.

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: I had no idea how to feed a baby or get a baby to go to sleep or swaddle one. Oh, my gosh, and [Chuckles] The first few times, every time i would try to swaddle him, he would, like, push his arm out or his leg out.

[ Chuckles ] And I know it’s probably not possible because he was so tiny, but it’s like he was smiling at me. Like he was playing a game. And it put me at ease, like we were in this together.

Chance: Because you were. Now we are.

Abby: Yeah. You know, I don’t know why this slipped my mind, but I can do better than just tell you about our baby’s journey. I can show you. Be right back.

Sharon: Hey, you’re back.

Rey: Mm-hmm. Yeah, I found myself with a few free moments, and I thought I’d steal some with my wife.

Sharon: I’ll take it. How was chance?

Rey: You know, physically, he seems to be healthy enough and he seems to be recovering well, but I don’t know when he’s gonna be coming back to the force.

Sharon: Well, it can take some time to come back from what chance has been through. It’s not easy. I’ve seen it with mariah after the ordeal she went through with stitch. And I understand the situations aren’t the same, but I’ve seen mariah struggle with trying to get back to her regular life, and maybe chance will need some time before he can wrap his head around getting back to normal, too.

Rey: Yeah, I’m sure you’re right. I just…wish I knew a way how to help my friend, you know?

Sharon: Well, you’ll figure it out. Sometimes just spending time with friends and family can do wonders to heal people. And that’s what we can do for mariah and chance.

Abby: This video journal, it wasn’t just a gift for you. But it helped me feel close to you. There’d be days where I’d have whole conversations by myself.

[ Chuckles ] But it would feel like you were listening to me.

Chance: I know exactly what you mean. There were so many days while i was gone that I could — could hear your voice in my head.

Abby: Well, now you’ll know what I was saying to you for real.

Chance: I can’t wait.

Abby: Hey, baby. It’s me. I wish you were here. God, that sounds like a postcard. But, uh, I mean it in the deepest, most profound way. Our son is about to arrive, and I need you home with me. I hate that I can’t talk to you, that I don’t know where you are, if you’re safe. I hate that I have to do this all alone. You know what? Maybe we should just go to the next recording.

Chance: No. I want to watch it. I want to know everything you experienced. Please.

Abby: I am so confused why you haven’t come home yet, and it scares me that I haven’t heard from you in a while. Our son needs his daddy. I need you. I need my husband. Sorry. Um…you know what? I’m gonna go, but I will, uh, check in on you later. I love you.

[ Sighs ] Look, I’m — I just didn’t remember what was in a lot of those videos. I’m sorry you had to hear that.

Chance: Hey. You have absolutely nothing to apologize for. I’m glad I saw that. Abby, I’m learning how much pain that I cause you, and I promise you — I promise you — I will find a way to make it up to you.

Dominic: [ Crying ]

Abby: Oh, I —

Chance: Hey. Let me go. I got to learn how to do this, right?

Abby: [ Sighs ] Go get him, daddy.

[ Sighs ]

Billy: Thank you for spying on my spy. It’s very helpful.

Lily: Well, I wasn’t trying to be a spy. I just happened to overhear their conversation.

Billy: I’m not asking you to be. I am not adam. What I am gonna ask you to do is put today out of your mind. This is not your fight, okay? What you saw today was adam primed for a fall. And I’m gonna hand it to him.

Lily: Look, I have no problem with your plan working. I’m actually concerned it might work too well.

Billy: What do you mean by that?

Lily: This could have lasting effects on you. I mean, there’s huge risks involved here.

Billy: I understand that, but these are risks that I am willing to take, and I hope that you can trust me on this.

Lily: Yeah, I want to, but you have to understand where I’m coming from.

Billy: I do, lily. Look [Sighs] It’s not like i haven’t looked at other options, right? I went to jill, and that’s a dead end. I talked to jack this morning, asking him to buy chanccomm, and my own brother turned me down. I’m running out of time.

Lily: Why do you think that?

Billy: Because if adam is trying to recruit sally, that means the newmans are not resting on their laurels. Taking down chanccomm wasn’t enough. Adam still has a plan, and he and victor are not gonna stop until I am broken. I need to do this to defend myself. And I’m gonna do my best to keep you out of this, but I would really like to know that I have your support. Can you back me here? Like pulsing, electric shocks,

Jack: I absolutely agree with you about our friendship.

Phyllis: Good. Good. Oh, I feel better. Uh, we’re very good at talking things out. Here, have a seat.

Jack: We’re good at talking things out because we’ve been through so much. So let’s talk. I don’t want to mess this up. I think what we have is rare. Who would think that we could maintain this kind of a friendship after the hell we put each other through over so many years?

Phyllis: Yeah, I mean, I — I put you through hell.

Jack: No, no, no, I’m not putting blame on anyone. I’m — I’m just saying I think we need to establish some firm and clear boundaries.

Phyllis: What — such as?

Jack: Despite all of the things I said about the feelings I have for you — have had for you for many years — it doesn’t mean I think we should try again. Look, it’s been my experience that what the heart wants and what reality will provide are two very different th– I’m gonna say it, and I need you to listen. I am not about to try to rekindle things if it means glossing over the pain from our past. Even if that were possible, i cannot afford to make that mistake again. Ever. It took a lot for me to put my heart back together. I’m not gonna put myself in a position where it gets broken again. I could not handle that.

Sally: Okay, this conversation has been a bit of a roller coast, and I am not sure what is actually going on between you and billy, but from what I’ve heard, he does tend to drag things down with him and i don’t want to be one of them. I’ve worked incredibly hard to get my career back on track, and I feel like it finally is. I don’t want it to take another hit.

Adam: Well, then my advice to you is to do what you do best. Design, critique, curate. You’re right, that is your job. So focus on that and don’t let billy’s potential stunts distract you. Let’s just pretend we never had this conversation.

Sally: [ Scoffs ]

Lily: Listen, I know that we’re in the right here. Okay? I know that adam and victor have pulled some shady maneuvers to come after chanccomm, including having ashland getting away with his crimes. I just — I know how dangerous adam can be. I don’t know how far he would go to hurt you. So even though I have some misgivings about, you know, what you want to do…I believe in you. And I love you.

Billy: I can’t ask you for anything more than that.

Sami: Sorry about that, I had to hit you pretty hard with that tray. I took your phone, too.

Jason: You better untie me right now, all right?

Sami: No, I don’t think I’m gonna do that.

Jason: Listen, my shift is about to end and the other guard, pete, will lose his mind if he sees me like this. He will go tell the boss and then after that–

Sami: I’m not scared of pete. I’m not scared of you, and I’m not scared of your boss, whoever he is.

Jason: Or she.

Sami: You’re saying your boss is a woman?

Jason: I’m saying don’t assume. That makes an ass out of you and me, all right?

Sami: You are hilarious. Jason, when you get out of prison for holding me hostage, you should definitely go into standup comedy.

Jason: You knocked me out. You took my phone. Why are you still here?

Sami: Because–because the stupid key broke in the stupid lock, okay? So now the door doesn’t open. Yes, I took your keys, too. Sorry about that.

Rafe: Can I come in? I need to ask you a few questions.

Chad: Yeah.

Rafe: Thank you.

Chad: Questions about what?

Rafe: Kristen. She was supposed to be transferred to statesville today. Never made it.

Abigail: Yeah, we heard. It’s all over the news. So the van she was in crashed?

Rafe: Apparently, she forced it off the road.

Chad: Is she okay?

Rafe: Okay enough to have gotten away.

Abigail: And she’s still not been caught?

Rafe: Well, we’re throwing every available resource at it, but no, not yet.

Abigail: Okay, so this is a woman who has escaped prison twice and has managed to yet do it again. I mean, how does that happen?

Rafe: Yeah. Can I talk to you alone for a minute?

Chad: Me and my wife don’t keep secrets. Anything you have to ask me, you can ask in front of abigail.

Rafe: Okay. You were at the police station earlier, correct?

Chad: Yeah, I saw you there.

Rafe: Yeah, I saw you too. You sure spent a lot of time alone with kristen in the interrogation room. What were you talking about?

Chad: [Chuckles] Um, I–I gave her an update from her lawyer and I told her that despite his best efforts, she was going back to prison.

Rafe: Mm-hmm, yeah, and yet she didn’t go back to prison.

Chad: Where are you going with this, rafe?

Rafe: Well, the thing is we know that kristen couldn’t have pulled this off on her own. She had to have had an accomplice.

Chad: Are you accusing me of helping my sister escape?

Ava: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Ej: Oh, I think you do. You helped my sister escape.

Ava: How would you know what’s going on with kristen? I read you refused to represent her to protect your image.

Ej: While I’m in no position to help kristen publicly, I have been watching her very closely. I’ve made it a point to have eyes and ears everywhere.

Ava: Really?

Ej: Hmm. I know you used your family connections to intimidate the guards who were escorting her to statesville. You scared them into letting her go.

Ava: Hm. For your information, I’ve left that life behind. And I find it incredibly insulting that you would assume just because my last name is vitali–

Ej: Oh, you can act outraged. You can feign innocence. You can carry on as much as you like, but I know what you did.

Ava: So what you gonna do about it, counselor? Hmm? You gonna turn me in?

Ej: [Laughs] Hm.

Tripp: Your mom was kidnapped? From where?

Allie: Salem.

Tripp: I thought she left town months ago.

Allie: She did, but not by her own choice. I mean, someone took her against her will.

Tripp: Okay, wait, I’m confused. Didn’t she send you a text saying that she just needed some time to be alone to figure things out?

Allie: Yeah, but that wasn’t her. That was her kidnapper.

Tripp: Allie, how do you know all this?

Allie: ‘Cause earlier today my mom finally got her hands on a phone and she called me and I was with my dad at the time. She told us that she’s been locked in this tiny room for months.

Tripp: Oh, my god. Did she say who took her?

Allie: No, she has no idea who did it or why. I don’t know. The only people she’s interacted with are the guards, so I guess she knocked one out and took his phone.

Tripp: Where’s she being held?

Allie: She didn’t know, but we use the map feature on the phone, and turns out she’s in some remote part of wisconsin.

Tripp: Okay, did–did anyone call the police?

Allie: No, but my dad went and got her so I’m sure he will if he needs to.

Tripp: Okay, have you heard from him?

Allie: No, and I’ve called a bunch of times, but he’s not picking up.

Tripp: Well, he’s probably driving.

Allie: It’s been hours. I’m freaking out. I mean, he should be there by now.

Jason: Your ex should’ve been here by now. Maybe he got lost.

Sami: I sent him my location.

Jason: If you don’t know where this place is exactly at, it’s impossible to find, all right?

Sami: Okay, you know what? Then let’s call him then we can give him exact directions. How about that? That’s a good idea. Damn it, there’s no signal.

Jason: It doesn’t matter. I’m telling you he’s not coming. He probably got frustrated doing circles out there and then bailed out.

Sami: Lucas would never do that.

Jason: How long ago did you talk to him?

Sami: I don’t know, a few hours ago. Maybe four or five hours.

Jason: And he’s coming from salem, right?

Sami: What’s your point?

Jason: It doesn’t take that long to get here. Even if he did make it, he didn’t make it to you. Pete probably saw him sniffing around and knocked him out. Might have killed him for all we know.

Sami: Please, you’re just trying to scare me.

Jason: Sami, sami, I’m serious. You need to listen to me. You need to untie me, all right? Pete’s gonna walk through that door any minute and once he does, I won’t be able to help you.

Sami: Shh.

Jason: He’s gonna see what you did–

Sami: Shh, shut up.

Jason: And then he’s gonna go straight to the boss.

Sami: I said shut up. I think I hear something.

Jason: That’s pete.

Sami: Shut up.

Jason: You’re gonna be sorry you didn’t cooperate when you had a chance. I’m telling you.

Lucas: Sami!

Sami: Lucas! Oh, lucas! I’m so glad you’re here. Serena: It’s my 3:10

Kate: And roman, try to talk rex into staying in salem. Please. Okay, see you soon. Hey, what are you doing here? You okay?

Paulina: Not really. I was visiting john black, and i ran into abraham. It did not go as well as I had hoped.

Kate: Yeah, well, I assume that he’s still angry with you for what happened at the wedding.

Paulina: Not angry so much or not anymore. Actually, he told me that he could forgive me for what I did and for holding the truth from him about lani, but he doesn’t think that he’ll ever be able to trust me again.

Kate: Well, I can’t blame him, I don’t think I would trust you, either.

Rafe: I’m not accusing you of anything. I’m just wondering if maybe kristen said something to you that would indicate she was planning to escape.

Chad: No, the opposite.

Rafe: Meaning what?

Chad: You don’t think it crossed my mind that she might be thinking about running again?

Rafe: You tell me.

Chad: Yes, it did. In fact, I asked her to assure me that she wouldn’T.

Rafe: And?

Chad: And she said she wasn’t going to. She said that she was gonna work on her appeal from statesville.

Rafe: Okay. Anything else happen?

Chad: She asked me to get her a sandwich from the cafeteria at the station. And while I was gone, she took my phone out of my coat pocket. When I came back she was deleting the call log.

Rafe: Any idea who she called?

Chad: Brady. She said she wanted to talk to rachel. She was desperate to talk to rachel and she thought that he would answer if she called from my phone. And when he he heard her voice, he hung up.

Rafe: But if she were calling brady, why would she delete the call log?

Chad: It’s a good question.

Rafe: And whose idea was it to get the sandwich at the station cafeteria, as opposed to the bistro or the pub, somewhere you might need your jacket?

Chad: It was kristen’S.

Rafe: Yeah. She wasn’t hungry. She just needed to get rid of you so she could use your phone to call her accomplice.

Ava: So what you gonna do, huh? You gonna rat me out to the cops?

Ej: Is that an admission of guilt?

Ava: I’m just curious to know what you’re planning to do with this absurd theory that I helped kristen escape.

Ej: It’s not a theory, it’s a fact. But not to worry, I have no intention of telling rafe.

Ava: ‘Cause he’d laugh in your face.

Ej: [Laughs] Not likely.

Ava: So then what’s the reason?

Ej: Well, first of all, kristen is my sister. She has her faults but I still love her.

Ava: Yeah, just not enough to risk bad pr.

Ej: When you run a multi-billion-dollar corporation as opposed to, say, an organization of murderous thugs, yes, image matters. But don’t think for one moment because I value my company that had don’t also value my family.

Ava: Yeah, just not enough to help her out when she needed you most.

Ej: I did, I hired a top-notch lawyer for her. Unfortunately, due to her track record, even he couldn’t convince the judge to keep her out of prison. And going back there is simply not an option.

Ava: Why, ’cause she’s a dimera?

Ej: Because she wouldn’t survive. She’d wither and die if she had to go back to statesville therefore, I will do everything in my power to keep her out.

Ava: So you’re doing this to save her life?

Ej: That and I owe her.

Ava: For what?

Ej: In a way, she also saved my life, or at least saved me from living the life of a clueless cuckold.

Ava: Oh. [Laughs] This is about sami.

Ej: Kristen’s the one who told me that samantha was cheating on me with her ex-husband. Had she not, I would’ve continued believing samantha’s lies forever. Instead, I’m now rid of that duplicitous whore once and for all.

Ava: You really happy about that?

Ej: Why wouldn’t I be? As far as I’m concerned, lucas can have her, wherever she is.

Sami: Lucas, I’ve never been so happy to see someone in my entire life.

Lucas: Are you okay? Did they hurt you?

Sami: No, I’m–I’m fine. I was just worried you weren’t gonna be able to find me.

Lucas: Sorry, this place is just in the middle of nowhere. It took me a while.

Sami: It doesn’t matter, you’re here now. That’s all that matters.

Lucas: Is this the sob who kidnapped you?

Sami: He’s just one of the guards. His name is jason. I took his phone from him after I hit him on the head. Hey, so I thought you said your shift was up. Where’s pete, huh?

Lucas: Who’s pete?

Sami: One of the other guards. But jason was telling me that pete was gonna find you outside and kill you.

Lucas: What?

Sami: Yeah, what happened to that, huh? He told me that I better untie him before pete got here because then the two of them would have been really mad and they would tell their boss who apparently is super scary.

Lucas: Yeah, apparently.

Sami: I don’t know. Lucas, I have no idea who did this to me. I have no idea whatsoever.

Lucas: All right, all right. You think it’s funny?

Jason: Hmm.

Lucas: Who do you work for?

Sami: I’ve asked him that question every day for three months.

Lucas: Yeah, I just asked you the same question, jackass. Who do you work for?

Sami: He wouldn’t tell me anything.

Lucas: Yeah? Well, he sure as hell is gonna tell me. This is the sound of nature breathing.

Lucas: Answer me, answer me. Who is behind this? Who would kidnap sami, bring her in the middle of nowhere? What do they want with her?

Sami: Don’t bother, lucas. He’s not gonna tell us anything.

Lucas: You’re going down for this, you know that?

Jason: We’ll see.

Lucas: We’ll see? Really? Two eyewitnesses, multiple felonies. This is an airtight case, man.

Jason: I’ll get a good lawyer.

Sami: I know you think you’re doing the right thing by being loyal to your boss or whatever, but this’ll go so much better for you if you just cooperate with us.

Lucas: Yeah, you got no skin in this game. You’re just taking orders, right? You really wanna go to jail for something you don’t care about?

Sami: Jason, don’t throw your life away.

Lucas: Your boss needs to pay for this and we can make that happen. We can protect you, too.

Jason: You really think I’m stupid, huh? I talk, you turn on me. Both of you would turn me right over to the cops.

Sami: No, no, we won’T. I swear to you. If you help me I won’t press charges. I’ll help you get immunity. Just tell us who you’re working for, please.

Ej: Samantha is gone and I have my sister to thank.

Ava: I believe you’re grateful to her. Still doesn’t explain why you’re not reporting me to rafe.

Ej: I’ll put it this way. If I were to expose your collaboration with kristen, the commissioner would dump you so fast your head would spin.

Ava: And you care about that because?

Ej: Because the minute rafe hernandez found himself unattached, he’d make a beeline to nicole and I’m not going to let that happen.

Rafe: I think we could get the answers we need from your phone.

Chad: I already told you, kristen deleted the call log.

Rafe: Yeah, but I’m pretty sure my it guys can retrieve them. If I need to get a court order–

Chad: Why would you– no, you don’t have to get a court order. Here. The one person I need to talk to is right here.

Rafe: Okay, well, thank you for your cooperation.

Chad: Oh, hey, for what it’s worth, I’m not protecting kristen. She’s my sister and I love her, but she hurt a lot of people I care about.

Rafe: All right. I’ll be in touch. Have a great night.

Nicole: Oh, um–

cough cough sneeze sneeze…

Kate: Okay, that was harsh. Sorry.

Paulina: It sure as hell was. But–well, maybe you’ve never lied to keep from from hurting someone or– or because you were afraid to lose them.

Kate: Touché.

Paulina: Well, it’s– it’s everything I feared. It’s all coming to pass. I’ve lost abe. Lani, too. My own daughter, she wants nothing to do with me.

Kate: Maybe that’s not surprising. She just found out that you gave her away, that you’ve kept the truth from her for so long. Paulina, why did– why did you make that decision? Why did you give up your daughter?

Nicole: Um–what are you doing here?

Rafe: I was just following up on kristen’s disappearance.

Nicole: Oh, any luck?

Rafe: Not yet.

Nicole: Well, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit of this family circles the wagon to protect her. But you know what? It won’t last long ’cause eventually the dimera’s luck always runs out even for stefano. Hey, so can you tell me anything?

Rafe: Just working overtime to track her down.

Nicole: Well, I hope you do. And I hope she burns in hell and I hope the person who helped her does too.

Rafe: So you are convinced as I am that she had an accomplice.

Nicole: Yeah, of course, she did, and that person, that cold-blooded heartless person who helped aid and abet that psychotic bitch, I hope you find them and nail them to the wall.

Ava: Rafe and nicole are just friends.

Ej: Only because he’s dating you. But if that were to change.

Ava: What? You think you’d go running to her? Give me a break.

Ej: You’re denying there’s an attraction between them?

Ava: I mean, there may have been one briefly, but rafe and I talked about it. He assured me that it’s all in the past. So why are you bringing it up?

Ej: I’m sorry. Okay, I just don’t understand. I thought you resolved to stay away from him?

Nicole: I had. But I-I was at the office working that night. It’s really creepy being in the basic black building by myself and on halloween and I, uh, I– I thought I saw deimos kiriakis.

Ej: What?

Nicole: I mean it. I thought I saw him.

Ej: He’s dead.

Nicole: And so are you. Yet here you are with ice cream. Look I–I called rafe and–and he came over and he calmed me down and he was really sweet. And we– we had sex on the conference table.

Ej: Why, indeed.

Allie: This whole thing is just so bizarre. I mean they grabbed mom, keep her hold up someplace in wisconsin, but they make no demands and they send fake texts so we’d think she’s okay. I mean I don’t know anyone who would do that.

Tripp: I mean I have one idea but it’s–it’s pretty out there.

Allie: Tell me.

Sami: Clock’s ticking, jason, what’s it gonna be?

Jason: Nah, I’m gonna take my chances in court.

Lucas: All right your call. Just take him to the local police department and turn him in. I’ll untie the back, you get his legs. When we untie him, you grab one arm and you grab the other, okay?

Sami: Yeah.

Lucas: Watch him like a hawk.

Sami: Get up. You got him, right?

Lucas: Yeah. Come on. You’re making a huge–

Sami: Ahh!

Lucas: Sami! Sami, are you all right?

Sami: Yeah, go get him! Don’t let him get away!

[Hall & oates “you make my dreams” plays]

Kate: Never mind. You don’t have to answer that. It’s really none of my business.

Paulina: You’re right, it isn’T. But I’m gonna answer it anyway. I gave up my beautiful firstborn to my sister because she wasn’t conceived in love. Her biological father, he was a controlling, an abusive man–an addict. I was scared to death of him. You don’t know what it feels like to be with a man like that.

Kate: I do know what it feels like. I know exactly what it feels like, paulina.

Paulina: You know what it feels like to be with a controlling abusive man?

Kate: I was married to one.

Allie: You think my grandma marlena kidnapped my mom?

Tripp: She kidnapped her husband and held him prisoner. It’s really that far-fetched to think she’d take her daughter, too?

Allie: Okay, that wasn’t her fault. She was possessed by the devil.

Tripp: Exactly, so maybe your mom knew that and was going to expose him.

Allie: Wait a minute.

Tripp: What?

Allie: I thought you didn’t believe in demonic possession.

Sami: Where’s jason?

Lucas: He got away.

Sami: Damn it.

Lucas: Listen, I’m sorry. You’re more important to me. I had to come back for you to make sure you’re okay. We gotta get you out of here.

Sami: Yeah.

Lucas: Is your head okay?

Sami: Yeah.

Lucas: Are you dizzy?

Sami: No.

Lucas: Are you bleeding? Or anything?

Sami: I’m fine. I’m fine. Let’s just go before that boss shows up and comes looking for us.

Lucas: We’re gonna go to the local police station and tell them everything that happened to you. Come on.

Sami: No, lucas.

Lucas: What do you mean no? Don’t you want these guys to pay for what they did you?

Sami: Yes, of course I do but not right now, okay? We’ll call the police. We’ll do all of that, but first, it’s just, I just want to go home first, please.

Lucas: All right, home it is. Come on.

Abigail: I can’t stop trying to figure out who kristen called. After everything she’s done. It’s hard to believe anyone would help her.

Chad: Except ej. I mean just ’cause he did seem preoccupied at the meeting maybe it’s just–maybe it’s just his way of not giving anything away, right?

Abigail: Yeah, sure, but why would he help her? He wasn’t even willing to represent her?

Chad: I mean ’cause he didn’t want the bad press. He wanted to maintain his shiny image and dimera’s and–and you know behind the scenes maybe he was cooking up some secret plan to help kristen escape. And I’m the one getting grilled by police.

Abigail: It sucks.

Chad: Yeah. Ej is a total snake.

Ava: I’m not interested in playing games. So if you got some reason to believe that rafe and nicole have something going on, spit it out.

Ej: It’s all over with rafe? You’re sure?

Nicole: I’m sure. He is with ava, and she is my friend. And she can’t know what happened. So you need to keep your trap shut.

Ej: You’re a smart woman. I think you know the attraction between rafe and nicole is definitely not all in the past.

Ava: Well, that’s what rafe told me.

Ej: Hm. But what do your eyes tell you? When you’re around them do you see two people who just want to be friends? Or does the fact they work so damn hard to prove they don’t want each other that it’s just that much more obvious that they do? What’s also obvious is that neither of us want them to get together.

Ava: I know I don’T. What’s your excuse?

Rafe: So now you know why I’m here. What are you doing here?

Nicole: Well, ej invited me to dinner.

Rafe: Kinda late, no?

Nicole: Well, I was still at work when he called. So just the spur of the moment invitation.

Rafe: Right. So you two are still seeing each other?

Nicole: Uh, obviously.

Rafe: Yeah, right. Getting serious?

Nicole: Well, I mean, we haven’t you know, I mean, there’s–there’s no big commitment but it’s–it’s definitely going in that direction.

Rafe: Definitely.

Nicole: Why are you grilling me about this?

Rafe: I’m not. No.

Nicole: No, yes. You kinda are you. Look, rafe, the point is things are good with ej and they’re getting better and you know, quite frankly, you know, I hope that things move forward because then there won’t be any more–

Rafe: Any more what?

Nicole: Confusion.

Rafe: Confusion about what?

Nicole: You and me. I just figured that if now I’m in a committed relationship with ej, then we can finally put what happened in my office behind us once and for all.

Rafe: I’m not sure I can do that. My nunormal?

Tripp: Yeah, what happened on halloween, you know, kinda changed my outlook on certain phenomena.

Allie: Yeah, seeing a person arise from the day can have that effect.

Tripp: Still not entirely sure we saw charlie but enough people, smart people that I respect swear that the devil made marlena do what she did so.

Allie: So you’re not a skeptic anymore.

Tripp: Well, as a man of science, I will always be a skeptic, but I do believe that some things might defy scientific explanation.

Allie: Hmm, I’m impressed the doctor could be so open-minded.

Tripp: Well, am not a doctor yet.

Allie: Well, I’m impressed that top med student can be so open-minded. But the truth is there’s no way that my grandma could have kidnapped my mom.

Tripp: What makes you so sure?

Allie: Timing. The whole possession thing didn’t start until her appointment with doug. And that was way after my mom disappeared.

Tripp: There goes my theory. So if it wasn’t the devil then who was it?

Ej: I know you’re aware nicole and i are seeing each other. We ran into you that night at julie’s place when you were there with rafe. I gave you that–

Ava: The expensive bottle of wine. Yes, I remember and I’m also aware that you are dating nicole.

Ej: I’ve known her for a very long time. I didn’t think there was any way that she could still surprise me and yet she has. And each time it’s even more gratifying.

Ava: You know, I really don’t need to hear this.

Ej: What I mean is that she’s been helping me move on after what happened with samantha. We’re also building something, something real, and I would like that to continue. And I assume for god knows what reason you feel the same about rafe.

Ava: I am in love with him.

Ej: Hmm, but if he found out what you did, he would throw you over instantly for the woman I want a future with. Clearly, it’s in both our best interests to keep him in the dark. So we’ll keep this collaboration between you and my sister to ourselves.

Ava: What collaboration?

Ej: Exactly.

Ava: So if you had no intention of ever saying anything. Why’d you come all the way over here?

Ej: Oh, I just wanted you to know that nothing happens in this town without my knowing. Something to be aware of. Have a good night.

Nicole: Rafe, we talked about this. You–you know how I feel.

Rafe: I know–I know you–you want me to act like what we did in your office never happened. I’m trying, okay? I’m really trying, you know, to– you know, ava and I, we work things out. So yeah, we’re back together.

Nicole: I’m glad to hear it.

Rafe: Nicole.

Nicole: Please don’t say anything else, please.

Rafe: I’m trying to respect your wishes, okay, but just– I’m not gonna pretend that it’s easy, okay? Just like making love to you is not a mistake. It felt–it felt so right.

Nicole: Rafe, please stop.

Rafe: I’m not gonna say anything, okay? I’m not gonna say anything to ej or ava or anyone, okay? It’s just– all right, listen when–when I think about being with you, holding you, touching you, I’m just, I’m gonna–I’m gonna put it out of my mind, okay?

Nicole: Okay, that’s enough. Please, that’s enough. We settled this. We agreed that…

Rafe: I know.

Nicole: We need to forget about what happened and move on.

Rafe: I know we did, okay, and I know that. I know it in my head but it’s in my heart. I’m–I’m sorry. It’s just that saying it and doing it are two different things, okay? Doesn’t your family deserve the best?

Paulina: So this– this curtis reed guy, he– he beat you up and left you on the side of the road?

Kate: While I was pregnant because the baby I was carrying wasn’t his.

Paulina: And that–that baby that’s your son, lucas?

Kate: Yes, lucas. My son lucas. But you know he’s had his–he’s had his struggles. He has a good and he has a kind heart just like your daughter, lani. You know abe would tell anyone who would listen what an extraordinary young woman she is.

Paulina: She is that. Oh, how I wish she wasn’t ray’S. But she is–she is his. Way back when I was pregnant with her, I thought that if he knew that I was having his child, he’d never let me go, or worse that he would take her away from me.

Kate: Yes. Yes. That is exactly what curtis– that’s what he did to me. And not with lucas, with my–with my other kids, with austin and billie. He took them–he took them and he took ’em in the cruelest way. I didn’t see them again until they were adults.

Paulina: Well, kate, kate I’m so sorry.

Kate: No, I’m sorry. I’m sorry, I should never have judged you before I had the facts. Anyway, I have a meeting. I need to go. I’m so glad we talked. I wish you luck.

Paulina: Thank you. I’m gonna–I’m gonna need it.

Abigail: I have an idea. Let’s not spend any more time talking about ej.

Chad: I am totally on board with that. Harold, what’s up? Abby and I are gonna be taking dinner in our room tonight. Perfect. Thank you. Dinner will arrive whenever we’re ready. So I think– I think I’d like to spend our time… doing that. And this. And this.

Ava: “I’m on my way home, be there in a few.”

[Sighs] Rafe, you sent this a long time ago.

Rafe: Just hear me out. Listen, I understand I know that you want to put what happened behind us, I do. And there’s nothing more that I would want than to give what you want. I’m trying so damn hard to put it out of my mind and it’s just I don’t know if I can right now or maybe even ever.

Ej: Well, well, well. What have we here?

Allie: Thank you for being here.

Tripp: I’ll always be here for you, allie.

Allie: Okay, I’m gonna try my dad again.

Tripp: Okay.

[Knock at door]

Allie: Dad, I was just going to call you. Did you find her? Oh, my god, mom! Ohh!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Bill: Are you going to tell me what’s going on or are you just going to keep pushing that pasta around?

Liam: No, no, I will. I just, just promise me, you’re just going to listen. Right?

Bill: Who’s a better listener than I am? Oh, okay, fine. Fine. Lo– seriously, I’m glad you reached out. I’ve been concerned.

Liam: Yeah, well, so have I, that’s kind of why I wanted to see you. I’ve been trying to be supportive, right? And by that, I mean protective. But this, this situation is not getting any easier, and I don’t know what to do. Frankly, I’m worried about hope.

Hope: Can I make you tea or something?

Brooke: No, honey, I don’t need anything. I’m fine.

Hope: Well, you have every right to be upset with ridge but he shouldn’t have stormed out like that.

Brooke: He’s just frustrated. And to be honest, so am I.

Hope: Alright well, still, walking away doesn’t solve anything. And besides, it’s not like you were defying ridge. If anything, you were defending your daughter.

Ridge: Hey, steffy, did you just say that my wife wasn’t worth it?

Thomas: Hold on a second. So you demanded that hope leave the property, and, and, and, brooke said she has to stay?

Ridge: Yeah. She won’t discuss it.

Thomas: Okay, well, guess what, she can’t get upset at you for leaving.

Ridge: I don’t, I don’t care if she’s upset with me, I’m upset. Cause I’m fighting this battle on my own.

Steffy: No, you’re not. That’s what I’ve been telling you. You have another family, dad, a family who loves and supports you. And it’s not just the two of us. It’s mom, too.

Bill: You concerned about hope? Let me guess because of that scumbag, deacon.

Liam: Yeah. A.K.A. Her dad, A.K.A, the guy she just decided to invite to be a grandfather to our children.

Bill: W-w-what, grandpa deacon? Absolutely not.

Liam: Well, that’s exactly what I said. But it doesn’t matter. Hope is, it’s like she’s determined to just absorb this guy into all of our lives, and there’s nothing I can say or do to change her mind.

Hope: If ridge is going to make it impossible for me to see my dad, then as much as I don’t want to say it. Maybe we should move out.

Brooke: No, honey, I don’t want you going anywhere.

Hope: Mom, you know how much I love it here. I love this cabin. I love that the kids get to be close to their grandparents, but I also don’t want to be surrounded by constant bickering and stress.

Brooke: Honey, please just let me deal with ridge. Okay? I will get through to him. I just, I don’t want this to become an issue for you, and I hate that my dad is already becoming a problem for your marriage.

Deacon: I don’t want my daughter feeling terrible about anything.

Ridge: Deacon is the problem. Brooke and I we’ve been in a great place for a long time. He shows up and–

Thomas: He is coming between the two of you.

Ridge: I don’t know. I don’t know I, yeah, I, maybe I don’t know. We’re out of sync.

Thomas: We can see that.

Steffy: You haven’t been this stressed in a while.

Ridge: Well, because i thought we left deacon behind us long time ago.

Steffy: You still haven’t answered the question, all this angst and frustration. Is brooke really worth it?

Bill: Deacon isn’t a stranger to hope. She can’t have any illusions about it.

Liam: She’s not going to hold his past against him.

Bill: Alright, fine if she wants to give sharpe another opportunity to blow up her life, have at it. But, but don’t bring him into your home. Introduce him to your kids. She already has. Dammit, liam. You give him an opening, he will exploit it.

Liam: So, okay, so do you see why I’m so freaked out about this? Every time I try to confront hope with it she digs her heels in even more because to her, it’s evidence that we’re not treating deacon fairly.

Bill: And who do you suppose put that idea in her head?

Liam: Exactly, exactly. The guy is trying to polarize us. Now it hasn’t worked yet, and I hope it won’T. But the longer this goes on…

Bill: Okay, listen, I think what you’re trying to say without saying it is that you want me to talk to him.

Liam: No, no, no.

Bill: Listen. Listen to me. I know deacon. He is not somebody that hope can trust.

Liam: But he’s her father. And to, and to hope, that just trumps everything else.

Bill: And you’re her husband. That’s got to count for something.

Liam: Of course it, course it counts for something. Yes, we love each other, we support each other 100%, but I just can’t tell her what to do. Hope makes up her own mind.

Bill: That doesn’t mean that you have to agree with it. Now, I know you don’t want to argue with your wife.

Liam: No, I really don’t want to argue with my wife. But we’ve been doing a lot of that lately.

Bill: What are you saying, liam? This is putting a strain on your marriage? You and hope are in trouble?

Deacon: I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop.

Hope: No, no. It’s fine, dad. Besides, it’s something you should know because we should all be open with each other.

Deacon: Well, if what I heard is correct, I’m sorry. Look, I know my being here is causing problems for both of you. I hate it.

Hope: Well, I’m not blaming you for that.

Brooke: I don’t want anybody worrying about ridge and me. I’m concerned about you and liam.

Hope: Yeah, but mom, you and ridge are at odds about this. I mean, ridge basically confronted me and told me that if I want to allow you in my life that my family and I need to find another place to live.

Deacon: Wow. Really?

Hope: Yes.

Ridge: I can’t have a man that I despise come over here and pretend that this is his house. I think it’s affecting& my relationship with brooke, and he’s come between us before. I’m not going to let it happen again. I will fight tooth and nail for this marriage. You want to be with him? I want to keep my sanity. So if you need to leave, leave and I know this won’t be easy.

Hope: Ridge, what you are asking– oh honey, I’m not asking. I’m telling you if you want to be with your dad, it won’t be here. Grab your kids, grab your husband, grab your stuff and move on.

Deacon: I mean, that seems kind of harsh, even for ridge, throwing you out of your own house. You’re not going to do that, right? You’re not going to leave.

Hope: Well, I’m, I am considering it.

Brooke: No, I won’t allow it. I told hope and I told ridge that my daughter isn’t going anywhere.

Deacon: Good, I’m glad to hear that, but something tells me that ridge isn’t feeling quite so positive.

Ridge: I don’t blame brooke for what’s happening.

Steffy: The other day, you were worried that deacon might come back not only for hope, but for brooke too.

Ridge: It’s not her fault, either.

Thomas: Okay, but this is causing you a lot of stress.

Steffy: Yeah, and I think that’s like the normal in your relationship.

Ridge: I, what did I just, i just told you, we’re doing well, we’re doing really well.

Steffy: Yes, sometimes you are. But when I look at your history, all I see is brooke’s drama. You can’t ignore that. I know you’re about to say all marriages have its challenges, but…

Thomas: You know what, I mean, brooke’s is not the only one to start a whole family crisis.

Steffy: But you can’t say this isn’t just about deacon. Like, look, look at brooke. Deacon’s presence is a reminder of brooke’s worst scandal ever.

Ridge: Alright, and I’m sure she doesn’t want to be reminded of that either.

Thomas: She wouldn’t have to if she just got rid of deacon.

Steffy: She’s not willing to do that.

Ridge: No, she’s not. Alright. In the beginning, I thought this was all about hope, about what she needs. But now. It seems like brooke is just inviting this guy back into her life with open arms. I can’t have it, can’t have it.

Find your rhythm.

Liam: Man, hope and I, we’re going, we’re going to be fine. It’s just… this whole thing has been a lot more difficult than it should be.

Bill: Shouldn’t be difficult. I mean, this is deacon sharpe talking about. Everyone, I mean, everyone knows he can’t be trusted.

Liam: Yeah, well, I start talking like that and then my marriage really is in trouble.

Bill: I’m not wrong, liam.

Liam: No, you’re not wrong. And neither am I. But here’s the thing. Hope has been waiting her whole life for this guy to show up and do right by her.

Bill: She can wait 10 lifetimes it ain’t going to happen. Look, I get it. You don’t want to tell your wife that she can’t have a relationship with her own father. Yeah, I’m sure that hope may have expressed the same to you about me on a few occasions. But here’s the bottom line. You pledged your life to hope. You made a promise to prioritize her and the children. So in every situation, no matter what, that’s your answer. You made a promise, son. Keep it. Do whatever you have to do to keep hope and the children away from deacon.

Steffy: We’re not trying to undermine your marriage.

Thomas: Or make you defensive.

Steffy: That’s the last thing we want. We are on your side, but. It seems like brooke isn’t and I know you’re trying to look out for brooke and for hope.

Ridge: I can see what’s happening. You can see what’s happening, why can’t they?

Steffy: I don’t think they want to. This isn’t just about hope. This is about brooke too, her history with deacon. And I know that history disturbs you.

Ridge: I think it disturbs all of us. But that guy is still carrying a torch for her. And then. She knows how dangerous he is, she can’t let him in.

Thomas: It seems like she already has.

Steffy: I’m sorry. I understand why this is hard for you and we’re not trying to make it harder, but I can see why you want deacon to stay far away from brooke as possible.

Deacon: Guessing ridge blew a gasket when you told him hope wasn’t leaving.

Brooke: Ridge and I don’t want to argue about this.

Deacon: Sure. But this is your house. I mean, he has no right to tell hope to leave.

Brooke: Well, ridge and i are married, we’re in love. We share our family, we share our lives. We share this house. But, yes, hope is my daughter.

Deacon: Our daughter, and come on. He should have known that you weren’t going to allow him to bully hope and her family out the door.

Brooke: Ridge is just frustrated. He sees you and hope getting closer and he wonders what that means for the future, for our lives.

Deacon: So what, so his, his response is to threaten eviction?

Brooke: Well, that’s just not going to happen. Because I love having you here, sweetheart. You, liam, the children. I love hearing the laughter coming from this home. I love seeing the kids playing in the garden. You know, they’re going to grow up and they’re going to remember this, how we spent all this time together. Means a lot to me, and I don’t want to let it go. It’s too important to me.

Deacon: Wow, that’s, that’s what I’m talking about. That’s exactly the kind of connection I want to have with you, hope with our granddaughter, beth, even with douglas. Look, ridge can think whatever he wants to. Okay, but I want you to know that this is the reason that I came back. Brooke, the way you love having your family around here, the, the bond. I want that. I want to feel that joy, I want to make those memories. I want to, I want to be a family.

I’m jimmy dean and

thank you very much

Liam: You know it means a lot being able to come to you with this. And the funny thing about this whole situation, I’ve never been more grateful to have you in my life. Problem is hope feels the same way about deacon and I, I’ll never be able to trust him.

Hope: Well, I have faith that you are a changed man and that you are going to do whatever it takes to turn your life around.

Deacon: And I’m determined to prove it to you. Your support is all the encouragement I need. Brooke, I just wish that my being here was as good for you.

Hope: Well, I want you to be here. And that’s why I started writing you back when you were in prison. I wanted to rebuild my relationship with you. I want to see you. I want to have you in my life.

Brooke: I’m not going to let anybody blame this on you, sweetheart.

Hope: Well, that’s just the thing. There shouldn’t be any blame. This, why are we treating this like it’s a bad thing, because it’s not. You, dad, you are not a bad person. You’re not a danger and you’re not a threat. You are my dad. And anyone who is questioning my judgment, they’re just going to have to find a way to accept that.

Deacon: Or, they’re going to at least have to understand it. I mean, you’re my kid. It’s only natural that we’d want to get to know each other. Brooke, what you’ve done? I mean, it’s amazing sticking up for hope, accepting our relationship together. It means more to me than I can put into words.

Steffy: I don’t mean to drag brooke, but her past with deacon is shady. You don’t want to dwell on it. It’s ugly. It’s painful. Brooke had an affair with her daughter’s husband.

Ridge: And they’ve been trying to fix their relationship for a long time.

Thomas: Right. Um, how often does bridget actually come home?

Ridge: It’s not, don’t do that, she’s, she’s busy, she has a family of her own,

Steffy: Or maybe she doesn’t want to face it because her mom had a child with her husband?

Ridge: A long time ago.

Steffy: Well, now deacon’s back, and it’s unavoidable.

Thomas: Okay, look. We get that this is intense and very personal for you.

Steffy: We understand that. Okay, dad, you weren’t with brooke at the time, you were with mom.

Thomas: And look, I have great memories from that time. Obviously, not how it ended, but us as a family.

Steffy: Yeah, unfortunately, brooke took you away.

Ridge: And there it is. You’ve never forgiven her for that at all, have you?

Steffy: Honestly, no. I’ll always be angry that mom lost you to brooke.

Thomas: Me too. Okay, but that’s not where we’re coming from right now. You’re worried about brooke, but we’re worried about you. We don’t want you dealing with this, but you can’t keep pointing the finger at deacon. He’s not just the problem. Brooke’s fueling the fire too, mom never did that to you. She was such a good, good human being. She always wanted what’s best for you. I always thought we were going to win, but here we are, tying ourselves in knots because the logan women want what they want. When is it going to stop? What are you going to stop justifying this?

Ridge: I’m not justifying anything.

Thomas: You’re worried about what could happen if deacon sticks around.

Steffy: And you wouldn’t be if you had faith in your wife. Aren’t you tired of this? Aren’t you tired of brooke’s drama? What are you going to be fed up and come home? You have a family here. Me, thomas, mom, we love you and we don’t want to see you hurting. We miss our family, dad. I miss you.

Victor: However, entrusting you with an infant, I mean, you’re gonna have to change diapers, perhaps, you know?

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: I mean, this is putting a lot of responsibility on you.

Devon: No, I understand. I do, and I assure you that I’m up for it.

Victor: Yeah?

Devon: I really am. I am more than happy to take care of Dominic while Abby takes care of herself. And she’s left me with everything that I could need, and she’s having the nanny come, so we’re okay.

Victor: Well, as I said — but what?

Devon: But it’s Abby taking off like she has without telling anybody, it’s — I’m worried.

Adam: Well, welcome back.

Ashland: Thank you.

Adam: You look energized. Hope that glow isn’t all about besting Billy. I hope there was some good news with your trip to the clinic in Peru.

Ashland: I was put on an experimental protocol, and I’ve already received a full regimen of the treatment.

Adam: Well, I am glad to hear that. I’m sure Victoria’s relieved, as well.

Ashland: Yes, we’re both feeling very positive. I’m actually happier for her than I am for myself. You’ll never get her to admit it, but this illness has taken quite a toll on her.

Adam: I’m sure it has. Well, my sister’s obviously very much in love.

Ashland: That makes two of us. I’ve been keeping up on everything going on around here, and it looks like it’s all on track.

Lauren: Here you go. One extra-hot triple-shot mocha with a dash of cinnamon, just the way you like it.

Michael: [ Laughs ] What did I do to deserve this?

Lauren: So many things. But let’s start with the superb job you did of grilling that defense witness yesterday. I’m just so glad I got to see you in court. I just wish they had been videotaping it because it was truly a master class in cross-examination. My love, you are an artiste.

Michael: Thank you for that high praise. I have to admit, it — it really does wonders for my mojo knowing that my biggest fan is sitting in the gallery.

Nick: So, what looks good to you?

Phyllis: Um…the huevos rancheros or blueberry pancakes.

Nick: Strong. I am definitely gonna go with —

Phyllis: The spinach, mushroom, Swiss omelet, get rid of the toast, substitute it with a fruit cup, and a side of habanero salsa.

Nick: How’d you know that?

Phyllis: ‘Cause I know you. You know, you’re a creature of habit. You only order two things on this menu. The other day, you had the bacon waffle. I know all your habits.

Nick: Yeah, I do only order those two things. Guilty as charged.

Phyllis: This isn’t gonna work.

Nick: What?

Phyllis: “What?” This. You know, us being pals and buddies. I don’t think we can get past this tension
