Sally: Adam! Do you have a minute? I don’t mean to brag, but i wanted you to see the latest headline that I spotted. This European magazine is calling me the next Vera Wang. You do know who that is, don’t you, or do you just not agree with the comparison? Okay, well, we need to capitalize on this. And what do you think about doing a feature — “the making of a dream dress”? We can share all the sketches that I made and I can write about the process, I can talk about how I got the measurements and how we rushed it into production and how, against all odds, we got it to the bride just before her wedding day. It’s a really dramatic story. We have to share it. People are gonna eat it up.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: What do you think?

Adam: I think that you should just talk to Chloe, and I’ll go along with whatever she thinks.

Sally: Do you not care?

Adam: Honestly, no, I don’t care about the wedding dress press right now.

Sally: Wow. Okay, I get it. You said you just want to keep things strictly professional when we got back, that’s exactly what you’re doing. I just thought that the fashion division was more important to Newman Media. I guess I was mistaken.

Adam: Sally, you have to stop taking things so personally. There’s more to Newman Media than your fashion line. I’m sorry, I have a call scheduled with an investor that I need to get to.

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

Nikki: So how long do you think you can stay? I know when we were in London visiting you, I got to see how fabulous your career is going there, so you probably can’t afford to stay away too long.

Noah: Well, thank you for the high praise, but only a proud grandma would characterize my career as fabulous.

Nikki: [ Scoffs ]

Noah: I do okay.

[ Chuckles ]

Nikki: Well, modesty has always been your most endearing trait. I’m sure you must’ve gotten that from me.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Seriously? Hey. Oh, oh, oh. I see where I rate.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] What do you mean?

Phyllis: Well, I mean, since you didn’t want to fly home from Tuscany with me, you wanted to go to London. Apparently
who’s the first person you see when you do get back into town — Sharon.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Noah wanted to surprise his mother and share his big news with her.

Phyllis: What’s his big news?

Nick: Well, he’s decided to stay in Genoa City for the foreseeable future.

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

Adam: So, my dad tells me that you made quite the noble gesture in Tuscany. You actually deleted the video instead of using it to bury Ashland.

Billy: Don’t sound so shocked.

Adam: No. No, you misinterpret, I’m, um — I’m impressed and I’m shocked that you chose to do the right thing.

Billy: Well, you know me, full of surprises. Speaking of surprises, Jesse Gaines.

Adam: What about him?

Billy: Well, I’m still trying to figure out why he didn’t follow through with his threat to go public with the information that he has. I mean, he’s got the proof to show that Ashland built his entire empire with money stolen from a dead woman.

Adam: Ah. So, the gesture wasn’t that noble after all. You let Gaines be the bad guy.

Billy: Jesse Gaines only agreed to come to Tuscany because he wanted the opportunity to tell the world exactly who Ashland Locke really is. And then he just up and vanishes. Sounds mysterious to me.

Adam: Why is it you are always looking for the nefarious side of everything?

Billy: Maybe it’s ’cause every time you’re involved, it’s always nefarious.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Gasps ] Well, what do you think?

[ Elizabeth laughs ] Daddy! Look what aunt elizabeth brought us! Hot-house-presents! Otherwise known as housewarming gifts. Ahh.

[ Laughs ] Aren’t they pretty? Yes, they are pretty. I didn’t even know we needed decorative pillows. Oh, no, they’re not decorative pillows. They’re throw pillows. So you can toss them on the floor when you guys are watching movies. Ahh. And eat popcorn!

[ Elizabeth laughs ] Thank you, aunt elizabeth. You’re welcome. Yeah, thank you, aunt elizabeth. What would I do without you? Cheer up, spence. At least your step-grandfather paid your bail. Why does everything have to come with a condition? Is what kevin’s asking really that bad? I mean, you’re no longer in jail. You’re free to have a decent cup of coffee, the pastry of your choice. How am I free when kevin is making me get a job? You know, I thought I’d seen the last of the quartermaines when I signed over my father’s claim to elq. For what it’s worth, I think you made the right choice. You are much better off practicing medicine rather than getting embroiled in corporate infighting. But I’m not practicing medicine because the ethics committee has yet to review brook lynn’s retraction. I don’t know what you’re doing here, ned, but I am not going back to pautuck once the suspension is lifted. Actually, I came here for a much more important reason.

[ Sighs ] Sorry I’m late. I had a meeting at deception. It’s no biggie. I’m surprised you wanted to get a drink. Well, we are celebrating austin’s dropping of his claim on elq. What made austin change his mind?

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Beep ] Brook lynn: I dread the day

valentin finds out

bailey isn’t his daughter.

[ Smooches ] The deception meeting was not without its drama. I had to have a little chat with gladys about brook lynn. Gladys doesn’t think that brook lynn is as maternal as she should be. I can only imagine what’s in store for us when our baby is born. Anyway, since the meeting is over, do you feel like meeting for dinner? Great. I’ll see you later.

[ Indistinct conversations ] Willow. Hi. Hi. Are you meeting michael? No, I’m just… taking a break. From the quartermaines, the corinthoses, or both? Actually… from michael. So, ms. Reeves waived extradition, and she’s on her way to pennsylvania. She will be all yours soon. Yeah. I arranged for the money to get transferred to your campaign fund. Good luck on your run for, uh, state attorney general. Yeah, I-I think that prosecuting nina reeves is the right high-profile case you need to bump you up in the polls. Yeah. Um, uh, take care. Everything okay? Yeah. Couldn’t be better. Big move, having nina arrested. Well, someone had to.

Is that about wiley? Look. If nina’s contact with wiley is limited due to her legal status, that is a collateral benefit. But I brought the case to D.A. Sheridan’s attention because nina’s actions were criminal and she deserves to face legal consequences. I couldn’t agree more. I just hope that D.A. Sheridan can get justice for — for avery and donna. I mean, two little girls who thought their father was dead and are so confused that they think that their grandpa mike’s gonna come back to them the same way that you did. You know, justice for dante and kristina a-and — and josslyn. And for you, mom. F-for jason. For everybody who mourned you, dad. And for everyone’s lives who was upended because nina kept you away from us. Well, nina is obviously a very troubled woman, and she — and she’s sorry for her actions. Come on, dad. It’s an act. No, I’m just saying — no, it’s an act. Trust me. Look. Right after you returned, she pulled a stunt that reminded me so much of nelle, my blood ran cold. Look. I gave nina chance after chance, and she betrayed my trust. So, yes, I brought nina’s actions in nixon falls to the attention of somebody who’s in a position to do something about it. What’s going on with you and michael? I thought you guys were solid. So did I. But you don’t need to be burdened with my problems. Okay? You have a job and a baby to deal with. Besides, I shouldn’t talk about michael behind his back. I totally understand. I will just ask one more question, and then you can tell me to shut up. Does this thing between you and michael have anything to do with nina’s arrest? You heard? The port charles press sent out a notification. I can’t say it comes as a surprise. I know how much grief nina caused by not revealing sonny was alive. It’s — it’s less the arrest that troubles me than the fact that michael was behind it. That does not sound like michael. I know. Did you…agree with michael’s decision? I-I don’t know. Uh — I get why he did it. But michael completely blindsided me. Well, austin’s circumstances changed. He realized he was better off dropping his lawsuit against my family. And how exactly did these circumstances change? Well, remember how you told me to engage austin in conversation? Hear him out about the leo thing? Of course. Wait. You actually listened to me?

[ Chuckles ] Shocking. I know. Right? Well, austin ended up blabbing his diagnosis about leo. Being on the autism spectrum. Yeah, which was none of my business, right? So austin violated hipaa laws, and now his medical license is suspended. And that somehow led to him dropping his claim to elq… how exactly? Ned: May I sit? Is this gonna take that long? Well, that depends. I’m here to talk to you about leo. Right. Leo. That sweet boy… that everybody pretends to care about but is really just a pawn in your family’s game. Leo is not a pawn to me. He is to your daughter. Yes, I know brook lynn coerced you into admitting that leo might be on the autism spectrum. I almost lost my medical license because of her. I know. And I’m sorry. Brook lynn can be, uh, single-minded when it comes to fighting for something that she wants. Right. Learned that the hard way. And my wife can be single-minded when it comes to her son, as you noticed. So I want to ask you, as a doctor, can you give me any suggestions to get her to see how you and I see leo? How I can get her to move beyond her denial? So we can help leo. What’s the matter? Things don’t taste as good when you have to worry about how to pay for them. Getting a job can’t really be that bad, spence. You can do anything you put your mind to. Remember when we sneaked out of school to attend fashion week in paris? Yeah, that was your idea, not mine. But you met all those designers, you know, chatted them up. They gave us a backstage tour. The cassadine name impresses. And with your name and those contacts, you could pitch crimson on covering menswear. It’s a woman’s magazine, esme. Hey. Idea number two. You can speak fluent french and a couple of other languages. You could be a matre d’ at the metro court. The international clientele would be very impressed. Carly won’T. She wouldn’t even let britt put us up overnight in her hotel room, remember? Okay. Idea number three. Give private riding lessons to the offspring of the rich and famous, like charlotte cassadine. Valentin loathes me already. No doubt he’ll be thrilled to entrust his daughter to someone awaiting trial for stalking. Okay, fine. I give up. What sort of job do you think you could get? What’s in the box in the kitchen? Oh, why don’t you guys go unpack it and find out? Yes!

[ Laughs ] Finn: Do I dare ask? Oh, it’s just kitchen utensils. You know, for cooking. At home. Wait a minute. People cook in their home? Yeah, you’d be surprised. And aiden is upgrading his cooking stuff all the time, so I just brought you the duplicates.

[ Chuckles ] Thanks. Yeah. Look what I found in the box!

[ Gasps ] What is that? It’s a cherry pitter, for taking the pits out of cherries. In case you want to make a fresh cherry pie. I do, I do!

[ Laughs ] Trust me, dr. Finn. Fresh cherries are way better than canned. Right. When can we make one? When can we make one? Well, as soon as aiden gives us his recipe and…helps us make it. Let’s go see what else is in the box. Before we do that, I have a surprise for you. Another surprise?

brothers and I went througha bunch of photos of our family. We thought you might like some, to remind you how crazy your cousins are about you. They’re not on your phone? Cool, right?

[ Laughs ] Well, uh, thank you for the cherry picker. Pitter. Pitter. It’s a pitter. It’s a pitter. And I brought you some pots and pans. Wow! That’s amazing. Well, we’re gonna need those, you know, ’cause I just — I-I went to this place called the, um… supermarket. Oh! And I bought actual groceries. Nice. Yeah. Hey, why don’t you stay for dinner, you and aiden? All right? Chase is coming over. You know? You could invite jake and cameron. Oh, well, thank you, but jake’s at art class and cameron is working tonight. Ahh. Well, then, how about you, me, chase, aiden, and violet? It’ll be a little camping-trip reunion without the plunge into the icy stream. Or scott falling from the sky.

[ Laughs ] I think we’re safe here. Then I accept. Okay. Is this you? Yeah, that’s mom. When she was little. Who’s this man next to her? I’m not sure, but I think that’s her dad. Online shopping is so convenient. Should I get the brown boots? Or the black?

[ Gasps ] Ooh. Red. Those are gorgeous. I’ll take the black and the red, and I’ll bill the charges to brook lynn quartermaine at deception.

[ Chuckles ] If you must know, I gave austin a choice. He could either drop his claim on elq or kiss his medical career goodbye. So your righteous indignation about austin revealing confidential medical information wasn’t so righteous at all. Nice one. Of course it was. Thank you. Two things can be true at once. I can care about leo and also use austin’s arrogant violation of hipaa rules to my advantage. I’m just saying I remember you bringing up medical privacy law, and I told you to go talk to austin anyway. Is that where you got the idea to maneuver austin into violating confidentiality? You want my help with leo? I’m sorry for laying this on you, especially after brook lynn boxed you into a corner. Oh, she sure did — forcing me to choose between my medical career and my father’s birthright. Hmm. Well, I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t feel boxed in myself. I can’t turn to monica because she’ll go directly to olivia, and I have to do whatever needs to be done to get leo the help he needs. I cannot confirm for you whether or not leo has autism. That’s up to a specialist to decide. Well, olivia refuses to take him to see one. She’s not the first mother to react that way.

[ Sighs ] Well, how do I get through to her? You know, ned. I don’t know what you’re doing here. You don’t need me. You don’t need my advice. You don’t need the opinion of another medical expert. You need a marriage counselor. I walked in on michael meeting with the district attorney for llantano county, pennsylvania. He wants to run for state attorney general, and michael donated money to his campaign. And in return, the D.A. Agreed to prosecute nina. But michael had promised me he wouldn’t make any decisions about nina as it related to wiley unless he and i talked it over first. And when I pointed that out to him, he claimed that having nina arrested was a legal matter that didn’t involve wiley. Seems like michael is splitting hairs. Doesn’t it? If nina gets convicted for lying about sonny, she’ll go to prison, which is the perfect way to keep her from wiley. So, I-I know you already know this, but nina was able to get in one last visit with wiley by just showing up at the house, acting like nothing had happened. There’s no question that nina took advantage of you and the family. Yeah, yeah. Now, unfortunately, nina has legal rights as wiley’s biological grandparent, and the last thing I want is an ugly family court battle with wiley in the center. You’re right. Keeping wiley protected is the most important thing here. Yeah, but keeping wiley protected doesn’t have to mean letting nina off the hook. I mean, her lies kept dad away from his family, from his life for nine months. I mean, that has to be illegal. And D.A. Sheridan thinks that he can make the case for identity fraud. Ohh. I agree with you, michael. I had it out with nina big-time. Yeah, and that’s all you did, though, mom. You had one angry confrontation when you had every right to take it a step further. I mean, you should have gone to the authorities about getting nina prosecuted. Honestly, I’m — I’m surprised that I got here before you did.

Okay. Forget the last… eight ideas. Truth is, getting a job is really about who you know. And who still likes you. There has to be someone in port charles who’s willing to cut you a break. Um, britt westbourne. She’s co-chief of staff at general hospital. Maybe she can hire me as her assistant. There you go. Give her a call. Okay. All right. No offense, but that’s probably something best done in private. Go for it. Hey, cam. Esme. Hey. I just wanted to say thanks for not turning your back on spence — you know, when you offered to speak to your grandfather about defending him. Look. I-I’m sorry that scott laughed at you. Spence has quite the reputation in port charles. Kind of deserved, don’t you think? All I’m asking for is some doctor’s advice on how to talk to olivia. I thought you cared about leo. I do care about leo. But olivia wasn’t listening to me. And brook lynn was threatening my medical license. And you don’t get to come here with your hat in your hand when you didn’t lift a finger to try and help me. I did not in any way encourage brook lynn or conspire with her, okay, to get you to sign away your claim. But I won’t deny that, business-wise, it works out in my favor. Am I supposed to applaud you for just being honest? Austin, I don’t blame you for being angry with me. But the truth is, we’re on the same side. We both want what’s best for leo. So can’t we just make peace for leo’s sake? Brook lynn: Austin is a doctor, okay? He knows perfectly well he’s not supposed to share patient information unless he gets permission from said patient. Now, if austin is too arrogant to keep his theory to himself, then he assumed the risk and has to live with the consequences. The point is, you manipulated austin into saying something that he shouldn’t right after you brought up hipaa restrictions to me. Why do you even care? It’s not like you’re a fan of his. Because austin’s a doctor. And he was worried about a patient, and you took advantage. Okay. That was harsh. Well, would it make you feel any better if I told you I did it for my dad? Ned can take care of himself. He doesn’t need your help. Look, and I know you’re — you’re feeling guilty because valentin got your shares of elq, but I think your dad’s forgiven you. When are you gonna forgive yourself, brook lynn? It’s not like I haven’t heard that one before. But you know what? It’s all good now. I’m retracting my claim that — that austin, you know, violated hipaa, and he can go back to practicing medicine again. You gave him a choice — his — his medical license or his claim to elq — and he chose his medical license. Doesn’t that tell you that his heart’s in the right place where leo is concerned?

[ Scoffs ] I think it shows he was backed into a corner, and he picked the sure thing, his medical career, instead of waiting around to see if the court, you know, sided with him and his claim. You’re not gonna give this guy any credit. Oh, please. Austin gatlin-holt is far from a poor, powerless little country doctor. He basically declared war on me. Is that your daddy? It is. I’m sorry, mom. That picture must have gotten mixed up with the other ones. Isn’t he my mommy’s daddy, too? She told me that his name was grandpa jeff. Your mommy was right. I know grandpa gregory. How come I don’t know grandpa jeff? Me and my brothers don’t spend any time with grandpa jeff, either, violet. Why not? He lives really far away. Daddy, can we go see him? Well, he’s a, um, really busy man. Too busy to meet me? Why can’t I meet my grandpa? You’re right. I should have done something. And believe me, I have stayed up at night thinking of ways to get back at nina. You didn’t come up with anything? I came up with a million things! And then I reconsidered. Why? Because I asked her to. It sure sounds like michael went full-on quartermaine. And corinthos. Obviously what nina did to his family hit him really hard. And I understand that. What I don’t understand is why michael shut me out. We had what I thought was a really good talk about the situation. We agreed that nina was totally in the wrong, but for wiley’s sake, the best thing we could do is not trouble, trouble. Nina hasn’t tried to see wiley since the truth came out. Why provoke her? Michael agreed. He even thanked me for my insight. And then he turned right around and got that D.A. Sheridan to have nina arrested without even asking to hear my thoughts on the matter. Dad, why? I thought it was enough that nina understands that she stays away from me and my family. And wiley? She knows that you’re gonna make the decision whether she has a relationship with wiley. And I-I — you know, I’m with you, whatever decision you make. Wait. Dad, do you have a problem with me reaching out to D.A. Sheridan? Actually, yeah, I do.

Willow, michael loves you. I know how much he was hurting when you married chase. I’m not doubting michael’s love. But for the first time, I feel like he hid something from me, went behind my back, led me to believe one thing while he was doing something else. Maybe he can’t fight his upbringing. He is, after all, a quartermaine and a corinthos. And he’s seen how his two families deal with people who get in their way. So in michael’s mind, he was only doing what he was taught to do — deal with the problems by any means necessary. It’s not what michael did. It’s that he left me out. Michael never shared what was on his mind with me. He treated nina as a problem only he could handle. And I don’t blame you for being hurt, but I’m gonna guess that michael didn’t intend to exclude you. In fact, he probably thought that by going after nina legally instead of in family court, he was honoring your wishes. Yeah, that’s what he said. That’S…not at all how I see it. Then say that to michael. Tell him how you feel. It’s the best way to work this out. Michael, I agree with you about nina. I do. But your dad convinced me that his homecoming shouldn’t be about anger and resentment. I mean, sonny’s back. And he missed us, and we missed him, and we all get to be together, and that’s what’s important. I was — I was downplaying any payback with nina because I didn’t want to make it a bigger deal than it is, right? I just want to forget about her. Yeah, and, dad, you can do that right now. D.A. Sheridan’s moving forward with the case against nina. If she’s convicted, none of us have to worry about bumping into her in port charles, especially wiley. Isn’t leo’s welfare the most important consideration? Brook lynn didn’t think so. Brook lynn has no soul. She’s like the rest of you quartermaines, with the possible exception of monica, although monica married into the family, so thank goodness for monica. She doesn’t have to share your dna. Ned: Brook lynn has a soul. She also cares deeply about this family. Last year, she made a huge error in judgment, and now she’s determined to do everything she can to make it up to me and the family. That does not make what she did to me any less ugly. Ned… i love being a doctor. I love it. Might be the best thing about me. I want to help people. And she took that, and she twisted it around. She tried to use it against me. She weaponized it. And I will not forgive her for that. And I will not, not forget. Chase: Did austin really declare war? Or are you exaggerating just a little bit? You tell me. After austin signed the document giving up his rights to elq, he told me this was far from over, that it was just the beginning. The guy wants payback. Okay, well, if austin does try anything, let me know. I’m still a detective, even though I’m chained to a desk for the foreseeable future. You’ll still help me? Even though I might have crossed the line? I understand going to extremes, and I’m always willing to help out a friend. Thanks, chase. My pleasure.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] Wyndham’s? I didn’t buy anything. Whoa!

[ Scoffs ] Maybe he can talk to me about my mommy. Well, your grandpa jeff is a doctor, just like your daddy, and he travels all over the world helping people. I guess those people need him more than we do. That’s why we never get to see him. Let’s go back to the kitchen and finish unpacking the box. Is there stuff to make brownies? Sure. I’ll show you. I’m sorry violet couldn’t let it go. Oh, that’s okay. I just wish I had better answers for her. Why don’t you?

Exactly how did you “reach out” to the D.A.? Uh, he’s ambitious. He’s running for pennsylvania state attorney general. Nina is an editor-in-chief of a major publication. She’s a real-estate heiress. And prosecuting her in a new type of crime like identity fraud will generate headlines to boost his profile. So you just pointed him towards free publicity? Well, the quartermaines also… made a substantial contribution to his election campaign. No luck with britt? Nope. She’s not answering her phone. And the hospital said that she’s out of the country, so… hey, cam! Do you know where spence could get a job? Well, that’s funny you should ask. I actually just got promoted to assistant manager, so that means we need a server to take my place. Too bad I was arrested and I’m awaiting trial. Well, you know what? Kelly’s believes in giving offenders second chances, even ones with no hospitality experience. Thank you, cam, but I will give it a hard pass. That’s fine. Someone way better just applied anyway. Spence. Really? Do you think you have a choice? My dad and I haven’t been close for a very long time. Same with my dad and me. We got through it. Maybe you and your dad will, as well.

[ Knock on door ] Aiden: [ Gasps ] Someone’s here! I’ll get it. Unh-unh. We’ll both get it. Come on up.

[ Grunts ] Uncle chase! Ah!

[ Chuckles ] Hey! Are those for me?! They’re violets for my favorite violet.

[ Laughs ] There you go. Thank you. Yeah. Aunt elizabeth! Look what he brought me. Chase: How’s it going, aiden? Are you still making that — was it a seven-layer bar? Yeah, I brought some. They’re in the kitchen. Score! [ Laughs ] Elizabeth, how you doing? I hope you guys are joining us for dinner. Do you mind? Uh, if you cook it. Oh, that is hilarious. It’s mac and cheese. How hard could it be? Um, let aiden take care of it. We’ll let aiden take care of it. Yeah. Oh, and I brought you a good-luck charm. A good-luck charm, huh? Mm-hmm. All right. Let’s see what this is here. Ohh! Hey! Look at this! Daddy, pick me up. Pick you up? Okay. Come on up.

[ Grunts ] How’s that?

[ Smooches ] Aww.I kissed the cook!

[ Laughter ] Thank you, sweetheart. Who’s ready to eat? I am. I’m starving. Chase: Yeah, I second that. All right. Let’s go. Everybody into the kitchen. Come on. A little enthusiasm. It’s all downhill from here! Come on! Did michael ever do anything like this to you when you guys were together? No. But michael and i didn’t share a child. We never had to go through what the two of you did to protect wiley from nelle. And you gave up your relationship with michael so he and i could be together. Chase and I did it for wiley. We have no regrets. Everything worked out for the best.

[ Laughs ] How is the baby? Perfect. Of course. And brando? We found our footing once he agreed not to work for carly and jason. So it’s smooth sailing. Oh, I wouldn’t go that far. We still have to deal with brando’s mother. Oof. [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] You wanted to see me, boss? Your job description does not include buying two pairs of cartullo boots from wyndham’s and charging it to the company! I need to look good. Look good with your own money! Look, you will pay back every single dollar, and you’ll start by finishing up the notes on the face of conception business meeting. Thank you. I don’t think so. Excuse me? Well, it’s too late to start tonight, and tomorrow I’m taking a mental-health day. Are you trying to get fired? Go ahead and fire me. But then I’d have to reveal your little secret. What little secret? Actually, it’s not that little. Kinda major. I recorded it on my phone. You want to hear it?

What if someone figures out the connection between your donation and nina’s arrest? Yeah, your donation could be seen as a bribe. Look. Campaign contributions are completely legal. I had — my attorney’s filing the appropriate paperwork. The fact is, nina broke the law. She did it in llantano county. So it’s up to sheridan if he wants to prosecute. Look. Did I set it in motion? Yes. Yes, I did. But sheridan is an experienced prosecutor who wouldn’t move forward with this case unless there was merit. Nina is the one who’s wrong here, okay? Not me. If I wasn’t pregnant, gladys corbin would have me diving headfirst into a bottle. If you weren’t pregnant, gladys corbin wouldn’t even be in your life. True. And I wouldn’t trade this pregnancy for anything. Despite gladys being a class-a troublemaker. You know, carly and I have had our disagreements, especially about nina, but fortunately for me, carly is no gladys. Oh, not even close. Willow… I’m not trying to rationalize what michael did, but I don’t think he meant to shut you out. Every couple argues. No matter how good they are together. That’s what makes them so good! They feel safe enough to disagree. Michael loves you with all his heart. What he did does not change that. And I hope it doesn’t change your love for him. No, of course not. Then you will work this out… and you will both be stronger for having overcome this. Finn: Elizabeth! You coming? Chase: Finn doesn’t know how to turn the stove on! You can’t figure it out, either, hotshot! It’s one of those european models that only makes sense to the swedes, okay? Aiden: He’s right, mom! It’s weird! We need you, elizabeth! Before chase blows us all up! He’s got a match! I-I’ll be right there! Cam, I’ve done some thinking, and I’d really like to take the job here. I told you, bud. We’re already giving the job to someone with actual qualifications. You want me to grovel, don’t you? Big-time. Look, I’ve been a jerk. A snob. Someone who thought that he was better than the townies. The reality is that I’m a disinherited nobody who is desperate for a job and will be eternally grateful if you offer me one. Good enough? It’ll do. You’ll have to sign some forms, but I don’t see why you can’t start as soon as possible. Thank you. Hm. I’ll need someone to train me. Well, that will be me. The thing you need to know about this job is that kelly’s, it’s a friendly place. The job starts with a big smile, and then you say, “welcome to kelly’S. My name is spencer. And I’ll be your server today.” Give it a shot.

[ Chuckles ] Welcome to kelly’S. I’m spencer. And I’ll be your server today. Excellent. You know, you’re trying to convince me that everything that brook lynn did, she did for you because you are her father, and yet you refuse to accept, you cannot understand, that everything that I’m doing, everything that I was doing, I was doing for my father. Your hypocrisy is mind-blowing.

[ Sighs ] What can I say? Except you’re right. The quartermaines fight ferociously to protect our own. And there’s no room for integrity when it comes to keeping the family safe. Yeah, you see, ned, that’s where you and i are just not on the same page. My father —

[ Chuckles ] My father left this world with his integrity intact. And I plan to do the same. There you go. What’s this? That is the number of a specialist that can help you with leo. Share it with olivia, don’t share it with olivia. I don’t care. Just leave me out of it. Okay. Um… I appreciate the name. But, uh, I can’t make an appointment without olivia’s consent, and you know that. Then you have a beautiful challenge ahead of you. But, hey, it’s no big thing. It’s only leo’s entire future that’s at stake. Ned, I really do hope that you understand how important it is that you convince olivia to do the right thing for her son. What do you want me to hear on your phone? Oh, um, something about your telling maxie that valentin isn’t really your baby’s daddy. Liar. Never said such a thing. Oh.

[ Beep ] Brook lynn: I dread the day

valentin finds out

bailey isn’t his daughter.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sorry. Your friends cleaned me out. Oh, they’re not our friends. They’re just people we know. Could you, uh, go buy some more? Sure. Please. I can’t believe we came all this way. I know. Cells were empty. The guards were gone. There’s no trace of peter or my mother. And that bridge where drew was shot — do you really think he could survive that fall? I don’t — t-that’s hard to say. I mean, drew was a seal, so he does have a better chance than most. All this mess because my brother is a psycho. Peter leaves a trail of destruction everywhere he goes. It has to stop before someone else dies.

[ Monitor beeping ] No. No, I won’t let you! Oh! Valentin. Get away! Oh, valentin! Stop, stop. You’re just dreaming. You’re just dreaming. I’m in the hospital. Yes, you are. Yes. I’m at a U.S. Facility in crete. Yes. Yes. What were you dreaming about? Peter august. He was trying to get my girls. He was trying to take charlotte and bailey.

[ Grunts ] Sasha: Oh, my god! Could bailey be any cuter?! That’s my blq-2. Are you really calling her that? Oh, the nickname was inevitable. Ah. Well, I can’t wait till my little angel arrives and bailey can have a playmate. You know what? I’ll have to give you all of our hand-me-downs. I know that sounds kind of snobby, but it would be a shame for all that baby cartullo to go to waste.

[ Laughs ] Ah! I just want to have this baby, like, now! Were you this anxious when your due date was getting closer? Me? Nah. Piece of cake. That’s our brook lynn. Grace under pressure. Hey, maxie. Nice of you to join us.

[ Clears throat ] I’m on time. I never said you weren’T. Anyway, I thought this was supposed to be a sitdown to discuss deception’s spring marketing campaign. It is. Okay, then why did you choose this place instead of the office? Wait. No. I didn’t pick this place. Sasha did. What? I — it wasn’t my idea. I-I was told maxie chose it. Who told you that? Surprise! Ha ha! Tuna tartare and shop talk. Is there anything better? Ah, thank you, D.A. Sheridan. I appreciate you expediting nina reeves’ arrest. The quartermaines are proud to donate to your campaign for state attorney general. Ah, thank you. Bye. Are you coming to check up on your mom?

[ Chuckles ] Among other things. Ohh! [ Chuckles ] Hey. Hi. What are you doing here? Actually, I came to talk to michael, so I’ll wait at the bar. No, no. I’m sure you have business to discuss. I mean, what else would you guys have to talk about?

I’ll wait at the bar. Oh. Yeah, your mom still hasn’t forgiven me for defending nina. I’m sure. I’m sure you feel the same way. Especially since I, um, lobbied for nina to be a part of wiley’s life. You mean blackmailed. I prefer to call it something else. I wouldn’T. Okay. Fine. Let’s go with — let’s go with blackmail. Wow. Thank you for finally admitting it. Now that you have… look, if you want to make things right with us, I have a few ideas. Listen. If you could just arrange for me to see acting commissioner scorpio, I’m sure that I could explain everything. Hey, hey! Do nothin’, say nothin’. Hey, hey. I love that I get to see your face every day. How was your visit with spencer? Um, I said what I needed to. I don’t think he enjoyed it. You worried about him? He’s gonna have a bumpy ride. But you know what? He’ll make it. Okay. What’s wrong? So, nina got arrested. Was that you? Uh, I’m scott baldwin. I, uh, represent ms. Reeves. I’d like a minute to confer with her, so… could you get a cup of coffee or something? I’ll be right outside. Okay. What are you doing? I didn’t hire you. Well — I did! Ava, you hired scott for me? You used your one phone call to reach out to me, and I reached out to scotty here. Well, I appreciate that because I don’t know how experienced the crimson attorneys are with criminal law. Uh, well, you know, not good. They’re kind of like snobs. They’re concerned about their manicures. Okay. Scott, while you’re here, we have to fight this extradition thing before I end up in a jail cell in pennsylvania. I think you better tell her, scott. Tell me what? The quicker they cart you off to the keystone state, the better.

Ugh. I guess you’re right. He was a seal. And he survived two years in that compound. After that, what’s a couple of gunshots and falling off a bridge?

[ Groans ] You know, one thing you two do have in common is you’re very hard to kill. Now, look, we — we came to greece to find your mother and hopefully get peter in the process, okay? So we just need to focus —

[ Cellphone chimes ] Anyone we know? Or is someone offering you an extended warranty on your car? It’s dante. He wants me to call him. But I don’t have any bars. Well, feel free to step outside. I’m not moving. No? Uh, hello? Hiking that compound is at least equivalent to a 10k, maybe a marathon, with stairs! Well, you kept up okay. Well, now I’m exhausted. Besides, someone has to wait for the bartender. Okay. I won’t be long.

[ Groans ] Gosh.

Mutter, you better know how much I love you. My feet are killing me! No one is coming for your daughters, certainly not peter. I’ll kill him first. Where is he? Running for his life somewhere. He’s a spiteful son of a bitch. What if he does come after my girls? He won’T.

[ Monitor beeping rapidly ] You need to stop worrying about all the what-ifs, okay? You and I both know what he’s capable of. Okay. Hey. Will you do something for me? Just to humor me? Just close your eyes. Just close your eyes. Okay. Instead of picturing peter coming for your daughters, why don’t you picture what you would do to him if he tried? The hell you would rain down on him. The torment. The punishment. His cries for mercy. Your refusal.

[ Beeping slows ] Okay. Just imagine that for a bit. How do you feel now? Wonderful.

[ Chuckles ] Fresh as a daisy. Yeah. A little revenge fantasy never hurt anyone. You’re twisted, aren’t you? I have my moments. You sure do. So… we have to get you ready to go home so that you can undergo the surgery you need. Are you sure about that? This may be your big chance to get rid of me, and I think you might be blowing it. Yeah. Thought had crossed my mind. Really? Mm-hmm. But I realized that, even at my angriest, when your worst brings out the worst in me… …I do see that… life would be pretty boring without you. It’s bad enough to schedule a business meeting in a restaurant. Why would you make all of us think it was someone else’s idea!

[ Scoffs ] Well, look. You gals know all about the beauty biz. I, on the other hand, know how to shake things up and keep it interesting.

[ Beep ] It’s why you hired me. Gladys, you were hired to assist brook lynn, not — I’m assisting all of you by upgrading your work environment from stale and boring office to posh and swanky. As befits a posh and swanky business. Have to say — I like what she has to say on paper, but I hate the execution.

[ Scoffs ] Come on! Enjoy a little variety in your workday. You really want the same old, same old when you can have the croque monsieur? Which you have to try. It is so french! When I joined deception, it was to influence lovers of glam and — and beauty, not to help you experience things that you can’t afford on your salary so you charge them to the company expense account. Well. If that’s how you feel. If you don’t want a stimulating office culture… we’re not even in the office. If you didn’t want to get out into the world, maybe you should have stayed home with your baby? Y-you do have a daughter, remember? Because when we first met, it seemed like you weren’t even sure you had a kid. Well, you know, I’m keen to make amends, so what did you have in mind? Well, it helps that you got my father out of nixon falls as soon as possible. The corinthos family is grateful, and we won’t forget it. I’m not gonna pretend that sonny is my favorite person. I just hope that everyone can move on without revenge. Well, what some people might call revenge other people call it justice. Unless it’s your position that nina shouldn’t have to pay for what she did. Are you seriously recommending that I don’t even try to fight this extradition? Are you on board with this? Uh, well, the way scotty explained it to me is that you would be playing a sort of long game. How long? 15 to life?

[ Chuckles ] Well, the D.A. From llantano county is looking for a high-profile case so that he can position himself for his run as, uh, state attorney general. How is “women keeps man’s identity from him” high-profile? Is it because it’s sonny?

[ Sighs ] “Rich fashion editor holds mystery man hostage away from his — his past and tries to break up his family.” Comeuppance! And that’s gonna get the guy elected? What, is there no other crime in pennsylvania? Well, that’s my point. That’s why we’re trying to get her away from sonny’s influence. Yeah, but money can cross state lines. Why is it not better for me just to stay here? I can’t give up. No. N-nobody is saying that. Listen. I-I’m — I’m just, you know, filing motions and endless depositions here. You know, I’m just stalling for time until we mount the proper defense. Yeah, but, scott, while you’re stalling, I’m sitting in a 6×9 cell with a stainless-steel toilet! That’s why I’m saying we waive this extradition and — and we go to the keystone state, they charge you, I get you out on bail until the trial.

[ Groans ] And if I fight extradition? Well, then you’ll end up here in the pcpd, and because you’re high-risk, you will not get bail, and the lawyers and the judges will just, you know, take however long they want. And this way, y-you get it over with and you’re free. Until the trial. Look, there’s no guarantees. You want to fight it here? We fight it here. Okay? But it’s your call. Carly: Nina got arrested? You didn’t know? No. I-I mean, I’m certainly not upset about it, but… I-if you didn’t call the cops, then who called the cops? I don’t know. I-I don’t know what kind of laws she broke when she kept your identity from you and didn’t tell your entire family that you were alive, but I guess someone in law enforcement must have thought they had a case. Why bother? I mean — I mean, I know nina caused a lot of pain, but it’s not like she’s gonna be a repeat offender. You never know when it comes to nina. Well, I mean, you know, after all the people that we helped in nixon falls, I don’t think the cops are gonna… wait a second. …Come at — what? “We”?

There were a bunch of lowlifes putting the squeeze on lenny and phyllis. Yeah, I know. You told me all about that. I-I didn’t know nina was involved with that. Well, she was in nixon falls most of the time I was. Yeah. God. It’s just crazy, you know, that you had this whole other life there. You weren’t just tending bars. Well, I wasn’t the only one leading a different life. You and jason took over my business. You were dealing with renault. You didn’t know what was going on with me. I didn’t know what was going on with you. Because of nina. Yeah. Yeah. So did she help your friends in nixon falls? Great. Whatever.

[ Chuckles ] But she’s still responsible for what she did to you. Mm-hmm. And to me and to our family. And if that’s not a crime, I don’t know what is. Scott: Hey, look, I-I don’t want to rush you, but we got, you know, less than an hour before we… I know. I know we do. It’s just — it’s a lot to process. Okay. Well, I’ll tell you what. Uh, I’m gonna go make some phone calls. Ava, I want you to talk nina into, you know, the sense god gave a goose to do the right thing. You know, ava, I really, really appreciate you, I mean, making a u-turn from spencer’s hearing to come back here to help me. Thank you. Believe me. This is a lot more pleasant than that was. Hmm. Plus, I, um — I wanted to clarify something, nina. Uh-oh. What? Well, I know that you thought that I had an agenda when I encouraged you not to give up on sonny. Mm-hmm. Didn’t you? Yeah. I did. But… I do really care about you, and — and I want what’s best for you. Nina, please listen to scotty. I know he comes across as a clown sometimes. He does that on purpose so people don’t see what a shark he is, and he is a shark! And a shark is what you need right now! I can’t argue with that. You know, I knew that sonny would be angry with you, but I never thought he would stoop to this. I know, I know. I can’t believe it. You were counting on him to be more like mike from nixon falls, huh? Yeah. I was. You know, sonny and I, we just talked, you know? We — we put our heads together to talk about how we could help phyllis, and it was a good talk. I mean, it wasn’t great. It wasn’t, like, mind-blowing or anything, but, still, I thought there was a way that sonny and i could coexist. So why did he turn on you? What makes you think that nina is not paying for her misdeeds now? What, because she feels bad about it? Everyone knows what she did — keeping sonny’s existence a secret. I mean, people are asking for her blood, and I’m sure more will pile on. And then, of course, there’s wiley. What about him? Well, he’s just a kid now, but eventually he’s going to know, you know, what his grandmother did to his grandfather. Right, and he has a right to know. And no one understands that better than nina herself.

[ Scoffs ] If nina is so committed to wiley, then why didn’t she bring his grandfather home to him? Why didn’t she come forward when she had the chance? Or any time in between when she found out that my father was alive and the day he came home to us? Who are you to criticize me or anyone as a parent? Brook lynn, you don’t want to make a scene.

[ Scoffs ] I stand behind what I said. Gladys, you need to back off. No, no, no. I want to hear this. Well, then, get ready for an earful. Because you, brook lynn, just like the rest of your generation, want it all. What does me “wanting it all” have to do with my baby? My point exactly. What you want is all for you. Little bailey can fend for herself. Now, you take me and my son, brando — gladys. A word? Now. If the truth hurts… you need to remember that brook lynn is your boss.

[ Chuckles ] How can I forget? Okay, so I didn’t go to secretarial school and I may not know how to take shorthand. Who takes shorthand? Does that even exist anymore? But I am tech-savvy, so my phone makes up for that. Your phone takes shorthand?

[ Chuckles ] No, dear. No, it has a voice-memo thingy. So I record everything, and then later I write it down on the computer so I don’t lose anything. That’s actually not a bad idea. Hm! Yeah. And, of course, I add emojis like rainbows and stars, so I remember who said what to who.

[ Chuckles ] Maxie’s a unicorn. Brook lynn is a bat. And you’re… you get the idea. Right. Just try a little harder not to get on brook lynn’s bad side. She has a good side? I mean it, gladys! And you can start by not questioning her love for her baby.

[ Sighs ] If you say so. But if you ask me, little bailey is gonna need a therapist.

[ Exhales sharply ] I owe you an apology. What for? I just left you at that tavern to sleep off the ouzo. It wasn’t just ouzo. No, I realize that now, but I took it all at face value, which was my first mistake. Then you ended up in a prison with drew and obrecht. Well, on the bright side, I got to spend some quality time with my uncle, who, as it turns out, may be my father. Oh, right. Dear victor. I would have liked to have seen peter turn on him.

[ Clears throat ] Well, victor’s in custody. But he’s unscathed. What’s the word on drew? Any — any word? Not yet, no. You know, if he hadn’t turned back on that bridge to cover me, I’d be dead now. I hate this. I hate this bed. I hate this hospital. I hate being unable to protect my daughters, being unable to go after peter. You need to forget about all this being unable to do stuff. You should just be thankful. Thankful? Yes! Thankful that you’re alive. I-I’m gonna tell you, when we were waiting for the medevac and I was checking on you, checking your pulse and your breathing and holding the pressure on your wound — I’m gonna be honest — I wasn’t sure that you were gonna make it. And when I kept thinking that you weren’t gonna make it, I-I realized I wouldn’t have the chance to say… to say what? They really are out of everything. Is this a wsb operation or a frat party?

[ Footsteps approach ] Oh, it’s about time. What took you…so long? Don’t scream. You’re coming with me. Before either of us goes anywhere, you’re gonna want me to take a look at that wound. I’m fine. Let’s go. Okay. Look. Um… you don’t understand. I’m a doctor. You’re bleeding out. So you can aim that gun someplace else — shut up! There’s a ferry leaving soon, and you’re my ticket out of here.

Uh, j-just curious. Did you take that bullet working for peter august? And if so, was it worth it? What do you care? Because I’M…doctor… you…wounded! You can take me hostage later! Right now let me help you. You’re wasting your breath. We’re heading for the ferry. Now…move!

[ Grunting ]

[ Groaning ] Okay. Now I’m gonna help you. Uh, check behind the bar. I think I saw a first-aid kit. Hand me the gauze.

[ Groaning ] Where’s lisa ob–

[ Groans ] Lisa obrecht? Where’s peter august? I think he might have nicked an artery. If he bleeds out, we may never find my mother or peter, so the interrogation can wait. Right now I need you to help me keep him alive.

[ Groaning ] Just that I wouldn’t have the chance… I wouldn’t know what to say to charlotte. You know? Um, or bailey. One day when she’s old enough. Thank you for thinking of my girls. Yeah.

[ Monitor beeping ] So, you just have to rest now and, um… get ready for the plane to take you home. Give me my phone. What? I’m gonna call charlotte and bailey. Oh, no, no, no. I want to hear their voices. Don’t do that, because it — that’s gonna be emotionally taxing, a phone call like that. A-and, you know, your vitals aren’t all that strong. The doctor, she would have my head. And, you know, you need to keep your strength up. Anna, I love my girls. But you’re all the strength I’ll ever need. Gladys, listen to me! Gladys is such a pain. I know. Woman just drives me crazy. So what was she talking about anyway? Well, when I first met her, she asked me if I had any kids, and it was when bailey was first born, so… so what did you say? Nothing. I think that’s the problem. My brain just sort of froze for a sec, and now here we are all these months later. Look, if you’re worried about her bringing it up again… what are the odds? I mean, does that woman let anything go? Okay. There’s one thing you need to do when the subject of bailey comes up. Just be a mom. It’s not like I don’t have practice.

[ Footsteps approach ] Okay! Gladys, is there anything you want to say to brook lynn? Like what? You know what? It’s — it’s fine. You know what, gladys? Thank you for your take. You gave me a lot to think about. Really? Oh, to be honest, I don’t think she’d really have to think about anyth– let’s just get on with the meeting.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Anna. Where are you? In greece. I’m with valentin. You know what? I’m actually here with maxie. Let me put you on speakerphone. Hold on. Okay. Valentin: Brook lynn, it’s me. Put bailey on the phone. Tell her it’s daddy. Now, I’ve had years of experience with sonny corinthos. And if he’s decided to forego your détente and declare war… which it looks like he has. …You need to remember your secret weapon. You know the truth about what happened between the two of you in nixon falls. Ava, nothing happened with sonny and me in nixon falls. How — how can you say that?! Because mike and I had feelings for each other, but that’s all. That’s all that happened. You know, there was just a few dances and a few kisses. Nina! You and mike fell in love. And sonny remembers that. And you need to have it ready in case you need it. I hear you. I do. But what if we’re wrong? What if sonny wasn’t the one who called the cops, huh? What if carly already knows the truth and she had me arrested? Well, then she’s playing right into your hands. Because then you’ll turn on the waterworks and you’ll appeal to that part of sonny that is still connected to mike, the man who fell in love with you, and you’re home free. Look, I’m not gonna deny what nina’s done. But it’s over. Sonny’s home. Right, and I’m supposed to be, what, willing just to let it go?

[ Scoffs ] Look, nina stole nine months of my father’s life, left my mother, my siblings, all of us to grieve for a man who wasn’t really dead. I don’t know how I could ever forgive that or how you could ask me to. I’m not asking. Carly: Jax? Well, good. Let’s keep it that way. Hey. Have you heard from nina? No. Why? She was arrested.

[ Cellphone rings ] I’m sure that’s her now. Well, it’s not nina. I’m kind of busy. What’s this about? Nina’s under arrest. Her extradition hearing’s about to begin. What? Where?

Pennsylvania.

Where do you think? Now, listen. I know that you have a working and a personal relationship with nina. Is that correct? I do. Well, then I suggest that you get here ’cause nina needs all the friends that she can get right now. Goodbye. It was, uh, scott baldwin. Apparently he’s representing nina. She’s, uh, facing extradition to pennsylvania. Well, I want to see this. Me too. Why? Because nina has it coming. Let’s go.

He needs to go to a hospital. Yeah, I’ve called it in. An ambulance is on the way, but once he’s gone, we don’t have a lead to your mother. Okay, so what do you suggest we do? Maybe you can get him to talk. How? By appealing to his better angels?

[ Scoffs ] Well, you’re the one who patched him up. Okay, okay. Um… I’m looking for my mother, liesl obrecht. I think she was in the compound. She might be peter’s prisoner. Do you know where he took her? Keep me alive, and I’ll take you to her. O-okay wait. T-take us where?

[ Grunts ] Cassadine… cassadine… island. I’m sorry, valentin. Bailey’s in daycare. Valentin:

It’s just one floor down

from the office, isn’t it?

Walk me down, will you? I would, but we’re not in the office. Who was I supposed to know? But I will definitely tell her that daddy’s thinking of her. You sound kind of strange. Are you okay?

[ Monitor beeping ] I’ll be home soon. Just tell charlotte I say,

“j-je t’aime.” Hey, brook lynn, it’s me again. Um, so, listen, sam and dante are on their way back to port charles, and — and they’ll explain everything. Explain what? What’s wrong?

Valentin was injured,

and he’s gonna be airlifted

back to G.H. What? Can you talk to charlotte and just prepare her for that? Of course. Just tell him, um, that the girls love him and that they’ll be waiting for him at home.

I’ll tell him. So, um, about this meeting, it — how about we pick this up tomorrow? I don’t think any of us will be able to concentrate knowing valentin’s in the hospital. What do you say, brook lynn? You know what? Can you guys just give us a minute? Of course. Gladys? What? I’m her assistant. I should stay. Oh, fine. Are you okay? Yeah. I don’t know why I’m so

[Clears throat] It’s not like valentin and me are A… I just can’t help but think about how much he loves his children. Ugh. I dread the day valentin finds out bailey isn’t his daughter. Thank you. Whatever you decide, I’m in your corner. I know. Thank you. Mm-hmm. Have you made a decision?

U know the man? Well, we, uh, came in here for a drink, and then the guy just showed up, and my friend here is a doctor. He was bleeding heavily. Like I told the paramedics, he might have nicked an artery, but they’ve got him stabilized, so he should be okay. Okay. Thanks for your help. Mm-hmm. And one more thing. You didn’t do anything wrong here, but something tells me you’re trouble, so I suggest you get on the next flight back to the U.S. And stay there. So, this is where we call anna, right? I knew that phone call would exhaust you. You can never resist, an “I told you so,” can you? Never. Listen, anna, if the worst should happen — it won’T. If the worst should happen, I need you to make sure brook lynn tells bailey that daddy was thinking of her till the end. You can tell her yourself when you’re home and holding her in your arms. So that’s it, then, is it? You’re gonna let me live after all? Seems rude not to. You’ve survived far worse than to die from something as prosaic as an infection from a bullet wound. And aren’t you far too clever than to appeal to something as prosaic as my vanity? I do what I can. You’re gonna be all right. You have to be, for charlotte and bailey. I think you’re leaving someone else off that list, darling. The fact is, valentin’s a wonderful father. He was all in the moment he saw my baby bump.

[ Clears throat ] Gladys has rescheduled the meeting for tomorrow. I found a bowling alley with the cutest little snack bar.

[ Laughs ] Just kidding! We’ll do it at the office, and I’ll prove to you just how invaluable I am. Okay. Okay. Just like that bloodthirsty bunch to show up for the kill. How could you do this to nina? Did she do something wrong? Yeah, obviously she did. But to go this far? Sonny didn’t have nina arrested, although he had every right. Oh, you just want the credit? Is that it, carly? It’s not her doing or my father’S. Nina, if you need somebody to blame, you should blame yourself. Michael. It was you?

E facts, the law was broken, and justice should be served. This isn’t justice, michael. This is revenge. Well, that’s for the court to decide. Ugh! Pay no attention to those hyenas. Let’s get you settled. Oh, nina. Remember — you still have that ace up your sleeve. It’s there when you need it. So am I. Thank you. All rise. The honorable judge lowe presiding. Be seated. A motion has been filed by the commonwealth of pennsylvania requesting the extradition of nina reeves. Your honor, my client waives her right in this hearing and welcomes her extradition to the commonwealth of pennsylvania. Guys, thank you so much for being so patient with gladys. I want hazard pay. You deserve it. And I’m really hoping that gladys will take advantage of all the chances you’re giving her, learn from her mistakes, and end up being a real asset to deception.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] Brook lynn:

When I joined deception,

it was to influence lovers

of glam and — and beauty,

not to help you

experience things

that you can’t afford

on your salary,

so you charge them to the company expense account.

Just can’t help

but think about

how much he loves

his children.

Ugh.

I dread the day

valentin finds out

bailey isn’t his daughter. So the ambulance is going to take you to the airport, and from there, you’re gonna get a plane to take you to port charles and then a helicopter to take you to G.H. It’s as easy as one, two, three. Let’s just hope the surgery goes just simply. Yeah. Ready, mr. Cassadine? Yeah, I’m ready. Good luck looking for peter. See you on the other side, okay? Hmm. Nice try. You’re not going anywhere without me. Look, I trust anna, but not when it comes to peter. And the wsb — don’t trust them. They don’t care what happens to your mother. You’re right. To them, people like my mother are either assets and liabilities. I guess the same can be said about drew. The wsb’s priority is terminating peter. Our priority is finding your mom. Well, then let’s go. Next stop — cassadine island. Prince nikolas. I thought you’d want to know… nina reeves, you’re remanded into custody of the commonwealth of pennsylvania, effective immediately.

[ Bangs gavel ] Court is adjourned. Bailiff: All rise. I will have you out on bail like that. Ms. Reeves, please stand up.

[ Grunts ] Oh. Let’s go.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Billy: I think you might have misinterpreted what you overheard.

Sharon: No, I didn’T. You can’t let go of your anger towards adam or your desire to punish him. Why else would you have one of your reporters dig something up about him?

Billy: You know, sharon, I am constantly surprised by your impulse to defend the guy, especially after the way it’s affected your marriage to rey.

Sharon: Okay, don’t you dare turn this around on me. This has nothing to do with me. What do you expect to get out of this new attack, billy? Some juicy new story? What is it you think he’s done this time anyway?

Victor: Well, son, I’m glad you’re finally coming around. Time we confront billy boy directly.

Adam: Well, I was just waiting till the time was right, but now that I see how obsessed billy is with jesse gaines and ashland, it seems like a perfect time to strike.

Victor: Yeah. It is indeed.

Adam: Billy’s distracted. He’s single-minded in his suspicions about gaines’ fate, so he’ll be off his game. You set him up perfectly with your warning, so he’s gonna be focused on gaines and on high alert.

Victor: Billy boy abbott won’t even know what hit him.

Ashland: So, gentlemen.

Victor: Ashland, do come in.

Noah: Hey, no, it’s good to be home for sure, but, I don’t know, it just feels weird being here for longer than a quick visit, you know, with no idea what my future really holds.

Victoria: Did you see this photo? Isn’t the sunset over the palazzo just breathtaking?

Nikki: Mm. The photographer really captured its true beauty.

Victoria: I know. That was just absolutely perfect. I love this photo of dad walking me down the aisle.

Nikki: Ohh. You know, this marriage really agrees with you. I mean, you’re just glowing and so strong and happy, in love.

Victoria: I’m glad that it shows because I am. I am all of those things.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ]

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I go to bed at night happy, and I wake up feeling the same way. I know, I know that ashland and I will have to face some of these challenges that we have, both in business and personal, but I couldn’t be more content.

Victoria: Darling, it is so wonderful to see you this way.

[ Sighs ] Now, if only you could work things out with your brother.

Phyllis: [ Exhales sharply ]

Nick: [ Exhales sharply ] Okay, okay, I give up. I’m never gonna be able to out-stubborn you, but I have questions, so I want to know if we’re ever gonna talk about this or if you’re just gonna keep slamming doors and giving me the silent treatment. I just heard something amazing!

Phyllis: Sorry, I can’t talk right now. I’ve already taken too much time off of work.

Nick: Work can wait. Look, what I said upset you, clearly, but I’m dealing with some things with my family right now, and I could use your support.

Phyllis: Oh, really, you want my support? Every time I give you my support, you reject it.

Nick: When your support comes in the form of criticism, it makes it seem like you don’t care and it’s just an opportunity for you to newman bash and like you’re not listening.

Phyllis: Of course I’m listening. I’m listening and I’m being supportive, but every time I do that, you seem to get offended.

Nick: Well, you’re telling me to just push the hard issues aside and pretend like everything’s fine because that’d be a lot easier than dealing with my contentious family history.

Phyllis: That’s not what I’m doing at all.

Nick: Well, we’re not understanding each other, so why don’t we just sit down and talk about it calmly?

Phyllis: Okay, you know what? I’m not as calm as you right now. And I’m offended because you are insinuating that I don’t have good communication skills and that I don’t care about your feelings. Okay, maybe the first one is true sometimes, but the second one absolutely is not.

Nick: That is not what I’m doing, alright? It’s not what I mean at all.

Phyllis: Okay, you know what? Um…I don’t want to talk right now. Uh, I just need to be alone. I need some space. Can you give me space?

Nick: [ Groans ]

Victoria: Mom, please, I am in too good of a mood to let thoughts of nick bring me down right now. I will deal with all of that somehow after the honeymoon.

Nikki: Darling, I’m just saying, you can’t let this rift between the two of you go on and on.

Victoria: Mom, don’T.

Nikki: Alright, fine. I will stop. Why don’t you tell me about your honeymoon? You’ve been very mysterious about it. Where are you going?

Victoria: Well, I want to surprise ashland with the perfect stress-free getaway to paradise, somewhere far away from everyone and everything, especially the prying paparazzi eyes.

Nikki: Mm. And?

Victoria: Well, I have arranged for the most romantic trip. Okay, just imagine this.

[ Clears throat ] A private island, five-star meals, personal masseuse, just the two of us together.

Nikki: It sounds heavenly.

Victoria: Yes, I know. I’m thinking that we’ll leave in a week. That is, provided we can get caught up on all of the work that’s piled up while we were in tuscany.

Nikki: Well, if I know my daughter, you will work 24/7 and move heaven and earth to make sure nothing gets in the way of this perfect honeymoon.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ]

Nikki: And you deserve every minute of it.

Ashland: Did I hear correctly? Are you planning to go after chanccomm? Because when it comes to billy abbott, I’m in alignment with any plan that takes him down a notch — or 10.

Adam: We were actually going to include you. We knew you’d appreciate what we were doing, and actually you could be useful.

Victor: Let’s put it this way, ashland, we are interested in destabilizing chanccomm, hmm?

Adam: We want to damage it enough to where we can move in, scoop up the remains.

Victor: We were successful in taking over cyaxares, rebranding it as newman media, and now we plan to look at chanccomm as our next target.

Ashland: Well, I’m impressed you’re going on the offensive. It’s an intriguing plan, but you can’t fool me. This has less to do with business and more to do with taking down billy.

Adam: Well, we can’t deny that.

Ashland: Given that’s your motive, and before you give me any details, you just have to know that I’m not going to be withholding anymore information from victoria. There will be no more secrets, so please don’t tell me any details that you don’t want her to know.

Adam: We can respect that. And you do have a point, she, for some unfathomable reason, always protects billy.

Victor: Alright. Let’s put the cards on the table. I’ve already informed billy boy that we’re coming after him. I want to include you in our strategy, so don’t you be concerned about letting victoria know what we’re up to.

Billy: You know I’m a little surprised that rey didn’t share with you what I told him about adam.

Sharon: Maybe that’s because rey is discreet when it comes to spreading around unfounded allegations. And you clearly don’t have those scruples. So, why don’t you fill me in on all the details?

Billy: Happy to oblige. I’ll give you the short version. I believe that adam, at the orders of victor, made a man disappear because he posed a threat to victoria and ashland’s wedding.

Sharon: And what makes you think that victor and adam had anything to do with this guy disappearing?

Billy: Because he has damning information about ashland’s past. He went to tuscany to confront him about that, and that’s where he disappeared. So I would be careful about championing the man, because it looks like the old adam is back.

Sharon: So what are you saying happened, bribery?

Billy: No, this guy’s taken money from almost everyone, and yet he still went to tuscany to take matters into his own hands, so I would say bribery is the least of it.

Sharon: What else then? Kidnapping? Murder? Are those really the accusations you’re gonna throw around now, billy?

Who’s on it with jardiance?

Billy: Those are your words, sharon, not mine. But it’s very interesting that you would go there –ibery, murder, kidnapping. Not so far-fetched, right? Because you know what adam is capable of.

Sharon: No, I think that it’s not just far-fetched, it’s impossible.

Billy: Really? Why is that?

Sharon: Well, first of all, i don’t think that victor would order something like that. And secondly, what motive would adam have? He has no allegiance to ashland locke. And when it comes to victoria, well, there’s no love lost there, is there?

Billy: No, but I think he really likes being back in the newman family fold and he’s about willing to do anything to stay there.

Sharon: No, no, this is about you, billy, grasping at straws, trying to spread around unsubstantiated negative rumors about adam. And it really saddens me. You know, he deserves every chance to turn his life around, just like everybody gave you. And it’s interesting how that seems to get lost in your obsession.

Noah: I’m sorry about the mess, man. I really appreciate you and my mom letting me crash here. I know it was a little unexpected. I hope it’s cool with you.

Rey: Come on, man. This is your childhood home. You’re always welcome here. We’re thrilled to have you. You got everything you need in your bedroom?

Noah: Yeah, yeah. But I’m assuming a bachelor roommate isn’t exactly what you signed up for.

Rey: No, no, but I’m looking forward to getting to know you better.

Noah: Great. Now you can tell me what’s been going on around here. In town, on the ranch. It’s been a while since I moved away. Every time I came back, it was just for a quick visit, so none of the changes have really registered.

Rey: Actually, not a whole lot has changed. Victor’s acquired a few more horses. They’re in the stables. You ride much?

Noah: I haven’t in a long time, but I grew up on the ranch, so I’m excited to get back in the saddle.

Rey: Ha. And your sister faith, she’s really turned her life around after having a pretty rough year. Look, you didn’t hear it from me, but I think that she’s falling for moses winters. She’s gonna fill you in on the rest, and your mom can bring you up to speed on how things are going at crimson lights.

Noah: Yeah, from what I can tell, she’s been working really hard to keep that place going.

Rey: Yeah, she’s pretty amazing.

Rey: And so are you, man. And from what I heard, you were pretty instrumental in saving mariah.

Rey: Oh, all in a day’s work. Glad I could help.

Noah: I’m really impressed with everything you’ve done for my family. Staying on top of all the ins and outs. It makes me feel a lot less guilty about moving so far away, knowing how devoted you are. I really appreciate everything you’ve done, especially through some of the brutal times.

Rey: Yeah, it’s all been worth it, you know? Your mom and your sisters are very important to me.

Noah: So how about you, man, you know, how’s the family?

Rey: Well, you know, I miss them, of course, but sharon and I try to get to miami as often as possible. Pretty lucky, though, because this place really feels like home.

Ashland: Well, I’ve got to applaud the cleverness and downright ruthlessness of your move here. Who knew jesse gaines would actually prove to be so useful?

Victor: Good to have you on board, ashland.

Ashland: Now, you’re confident that billy will lean into this trap?

Adam: We have no doubt.

Victor: You’ve got to know that billy boy doesn’t give a damn about facts. But he will move very quickly once he realizes that he can hurt us.

Adam: And that’ll be his achilles’ heel.

Ashland: Well, I see your point. And if you’re successful, chanccomm will definitely be weakened.

Victor: And then we shall rip it out from under his nose. Healthy habits come in all sizes. Some things are good to know. Like where to find the cheapest gas in town, and which supermarket gives you the most bang for your buck. Something else that’s good to know?

Jack: Thank you.

Sally: Caffeine. Perfect antidote for jet lag. How was your flight back? It was just you and phyllis, right?

Jack: Easy, smooth flight. No bumps.

Sally: Alright. Looks like your relationship with her has been really deepening lately. You guys got to spend some quality time together in italy between kyle and summer’s wedding, and then victoria’S.

Jack: That should come as no surprise to you. You know my history with phyllis.

Sally: That’s right. Funny how you’ve gone from being a couple in the past to being in-laws now.

Jack: I don’t know what you’re getting at or why you’re so curious about my friendship with phyllis, but it seems to me you have your own rather tricky relationship to navigate with your new boss, adam. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some reading to catch up on.

Rey: [ Chuckles ] Well, I hope you’re feeling at home here, too, you know.

Noah: I think it’s pretty obvious I’ve had no problem making myself comfortable in your living room. I’ve grown a little accustomed to my bachelor lifestyle, but i promise to be more considerate in the future.

Rey: I hope you’re not gonna feel uncomfortable living here with your mom, me, and faith. We’re not gonna be cramping your style, are we?

Noah: Trust me, that is not gonna be a problem. I mean, right now I don’t even know how long I’m gonna be staying. To tell you the truth, even though I spent a lot of years in this house, it — I don’t know, it just doesn’t really feel like home anymore. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Now, the crazy thing is, london didn’t really feel like home anymore either. At least not lately.

Rey: You know, I get that. You’re starting to feel like a man without roots. You know, I feel the same thing when I get back to miami. It takes me a minute to settle into that rhythm. Don’t get me wrong, I love my family and seeing them, but it’s just not who I am anymore. It’s not before long I want to get back to sharon and our life here.

Noah: Yeah, I think that’s what I’ve been missing, too. Yeah, I — stuck in this kind of weird limbo, you know, between my childhood home and whatever my future home and life might be.

Rey: Well, don’t worry. I’m sure you’re gonna work it out. In the meantime, you know, kick back. There’s no rush. Enjoy yourself.

Noah: Thanks, rey.

Rey: But you better brace yourself because there’s gonna be a lot of pressure for you to make the move permanent.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Rey: Nobody’s gonna want you to leave here again.

Sally: Adam! Do you have a minute? I don’t mean to brag, but i wanted you to see the latest headline that I spotted. This european magazine is calling me the next vera wang. You do know who that is, don’t you, or do you just not agree with the comparison? Okay, well, we need to capitalize on this. And what do you think about doing a feature — “the making of a dream dress”? We can share all the sketches that I made and I can write about the process, I can talk about how I got the measurements and how we rushed it into production and how, against all odds, we got it to the bride just before her wedding day. It’s a really dramatic story. We have to share it. People are gonna eat it up.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: What do you think?

Adam: I think that you should just talk to chloe, and I’ll go along with whatever she thinks.

Sally: Do you not care?

Adam: Honestly, no, I don’t care about the wedding dress press right now.

Sally: Wow. Okay, I get it. You said you just want to keep things strictly professional when we got back, that’s exactly what you’re doing. I just thought that the fashion division was more important to newman media. I guess I was mistaken.

Adam: Sally, you have to stop taking things so personally. There’s more to newman media than your fashion line. I’m sorry, I have a call scheduled with an investor that I need to get to.

Victoria: Oh! I’m so glad you’re here. Listen, I know I said I wanted to keep the details of our honeymoon a surprise, but I just don’t really know if I can stick to it.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] You are so fired up about this. It’s lovely to see. Go on, tell me everything.

Victoria: Okay, well, maybe just one photo.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

Victoria: A tease. Look. Isn’t it fabulous? Look at that.

[ Gasps ] Oh. Ashland. What’s going on? Are you okay?

Ashland: Yeah, no I feel fine. Yeah.

Victoria: Then what is it? There’s definitely something on your mind.

Ashland: I was just at newman media earlier, and i think there’s something that you should probably know. Victor and adam are planning a move against chanccomm.

Victoria: Really? What do you think about it?

Ashland: From a business standpoint, it does make sense. Cripple the competition, fold them into your empire. It’s a move I would make — and I have many times in the past. And it seems as though they’re not interested in playing nice. Far from it.

Victoria: I see. You want me to know that? Why?

Ashland: Because I don’t want there to be any more secrets between us. And you may not want them to go after billy for the same reason that billy claimed he wanted to protect you — for the sake of your children.

Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Victoria: Do me a favor. Don’t give me any of the details.

Ashland: I don’t understand.

Victoria: Well, you said that going after chanccomm was not an unusual business move, right?

Ashland: Yeah, but what i meant —

Victoria: Look, I don’t need to know how my dad and adam plan to go about this. If billy wants to play in the big leagues, then he needs to step up and protect his company.

Ashland: I got to say, I’m both surprised and impressed by your response, and I will honor your wishes and…keep all of the details from you.

Victoria: You should feel very flattered right now.

Ashland: And why is that?

Victoria: You have won my father’s respect. Victor newman only circles the wagons and goes on the attack for family, so guess what that makes you.

Ashland: Well, when you put it that way, it sounds like cause for a celebration. How about treating ourselves to lunch at society?

Jack: Hey. Join me for a minute.

Phyllis: Ah.

Jack: Come on. Okay, what’s got you down? There’s something going on in that mind.

Phyllis: Don’t push, honestly, because if you do, it’ll all just come spilling out, and I don’t want to throw my problems on you. You don’t deserve that.

Jack: Well, give me a little credit. I’m pretty sure I can handle it.

Phyllis: Alright, you asked for it. Okay. So me and nick. It’s not getting better. I don’t understand what’s happening. It’s like I have to just deal with the real superficial relationship in order for it to work out. Not too deep. You know what I mean? If any conflict arises, we just seem to crumble.

Jack: Okay, are you sure you’re not maybe exaggerating a bit? You two have been through a lot and survived in the past.

Phyllis: I know. I’m not being dramatic. I’m not. It’s just strange. We’re — we’re not on the — on the same planet. I mean, we’re not speaking the same language. We have a different style altogether. I don’t understand this. I mean, no one’s doing anything big. No one’s cheating. We’re not keeping secrets.

Jack: Okay, so what’s the issue?

Phyllis: I don’t know. It’s just all gone sideways. Do you know what I mean? What do I do about that? How do I work that out?

Victor: Well, my goodness. If it isn’t the happy newlyweds. You on a working lunch? Or are you taking a break from all the work that undoubtedly accumulated after your wedding?

Victoria: Ashland has shared your plans with me.

Victor: Well, I’m glad he did. Sweetheart, you must admit that after all that billy boy has done, he needs a wake-up call. He has it coming.

Victoria: You don’t have to convince me. I’m on board. I just want to be spared the details. All is fair in business, as far as I’m concerned, and I’m done protecting billy.

Noah: The ranch looks great as always. I just took a nice long walk around a couple of my old favorite spots.

Nikki: Oh.

Noah: Brought back a lot of memories.

Nikki: It’s so good to have you back. Did you go by the stables?

Noah: Yeah, I did, actually. Rey told me about the new horses. They’re really beautiful.

Nikki: Aren’t they? You and I are gonna have to go riding together. My gosh, we haven’t done that in years. Every time you’re home, it’s usually for some crisis or another.

Noah: Not this time, though. Thank god my mom’s finally healthy. Mariah and faith are both doing well. Finally just a worry-free opportunity to spend some time with the family.

Nikki: So how long do you think you can stay? I know when we were in london visiting you, I got to see how fabulous your career is going there, so you probably can’t afford to stay away too long.

Noah: Well, thank you for the high praise, but only a proud grandma would characterize my career as fabulous.

Nikki: [ Scoffs ]

Noah: I do okay.

[ Chuckles ]

Nikki: Well, modesty has always been your most endearing trait. I’m sure you must’ve gotten that from me.

[ Both laugh ]

Noah: I’m sure grandpa told you about the branding work I’ve been doing for newman media. Maybe while I’m here, I can expand on that a little bit.

Nikki: Oh, that would be great. I know victor would love that. And I would be thrilled because then you would be in town for a while.

Noah: Oh, okay, you really jumped on that “for a while” conclusion mighty fast.

Nikki: [ Laughs ] Well, I’m pretty adept at reading the signs.

Noah: Are you sure it’s not just wishful thinking?

Nikki: Most of the things that I wish for do come true eventually.

Noah: Yeah, well, I’d hardly call that magic. No, it’s more so just your sheer uncompromising force of will.

Nikki: [ Laughs ] I have missed that dry sense of humor of yours. But something tells me that there’s something else on your mind.

Noah: Oh, yeah, what’s that, your sixth grandma sense?

Nikki: Is there a reason why you’re here and not in london?

Noah: Don’t worry, I’m not hiding or running from anything.

Nikki: Well, that’s good to know.

Noah: There’s a lot of reasons I want to come spend some time in genoa city.

Nikki: Like what?

Noah: Oh, for one, this whole thing with dad. I’m really worried about how he’s dealing with this rift with victoria, and now he even seems like he’s mad at grandpa, too, for some reason.

Nikki: Yes, I am very concerned about that, as well. And nicholas and victor have always been very different, but the one thing they have in common is their stubbornness. And I’m afraid that’s the reason why this problem won’t be going away so easily. Hi sabrina!

Victor: Son. Just leaving, but if you want to have a cup of coffee, I’ll stay.

Nick: Yeah, thanks. I don’t have time. I’m just gonna grab a quick bite and then go home to christian. Noah’s in town, by the way.

Victor: Yeah, I hear.

Nick: He’s staying at sharon’S. Be nice if he could spend some time with his grandparents.

Victor: Well, from what i know, your mother is planning a dinner. I hope you’ll be there.

Nick: Probably not the best idea.

Victor: Son, I really hope from the bottom of my heart that you can forgive what happened in tuscany. Just get over it. Let it go.

Nick: Well, the wedding’s over, but nothing’s changed. I mean, you use me when you need me, and then you cast me aside in favor of adam when I don’t follow your rules, and I’m over it. It’s got me questioning my place in this family yet again.

Jack: I’m sure I don’t have to remind you, no relationship is easy. They’re all difficult. They’re all tricky. They’re all clumsy and they all inevitably lead to rocky patches.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Jack: And it is a measure of the depth and strength of that relationship how a couple handles the tough spots.

Phyllis: Yeah, well, I mean, the thing is, we’re not handling it at all. At all. I don’t even know if we’re capable of it at this point.

Jack: Well, are you and nick at least talking?

Phyllis: Yeah, I mean, he wanted to sit me down and talk to me.

Jack: Well, that’s a good thing. How’d that go?

Phyllis: I felt like if i would’ve stayed, I would’ve overreacted, so — so I just needed time to clear my head.

Jack: Wait, he wanted to talk, and you walked out?

Phyllis: Yeah. I mean, I felt that was the right thing to do. Otherwise, I would’ve just kept on saying the wrong thing.

Jack: You know what? Taking a step back and thinking it through is not the worst idea you’ve ever had. Look, I have been on the receiving end of your untempered temper, and it ain’t pretty.

Phyllis: Yeah, I mean, that’s why I decided to walk away.

Jack: Yeah. Just take a breath. Taking some air, put your head in the right place before you sit down and have an important adult conversation.

Phyllis: Yeah. Thank you. You always know what to say to calm me down.

Jack: I don’t want you giving up. Don’t give up yet.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

[ Scoffs ]

Adam: Yes, we feel quite good about it, too. Company’s in a strong position and we’re looking into some expansion opportunities, too. Yeah, social media buzz has been great. Given a real lift to the cpms and subscribers to the site. Well, I can’t argue with that. Sally spectra is a valuable asset to newman media. We are happy to have her. Sure, I’ll have my assistant set up the next meeting. Alright.

[ Sighs ]

Victoria: I mean, look at this view. It’s just heavenly, isn’t it?

Ashland: Well, it certainly is.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ]

Ashland: You’re really looking forward to this honeymoon.

Victoria: Yes, I am. Aren’t you?

Ashland: Of course I am. Anything that makes you happy, my angel, makes me happy, too.

Victoria: Well, all we have to do is plow through that mountain of paperwork, and then we can escape.

Ashland: Mm.

Victoria: And we can truly unplug.

Ashland: Deal.

[ Cellphone rings ] Excuse me. It’s my oncologist.

Victoria: Take it.

Ashland: Hello, doctor.

[ Clears throat ] What did the latest tests reveal? If you’re on medicare, remember,

Victor: You know, it breaks my heart that you don’t feel part of this family. I mean, why?

Nick: Well, that’s it exactly, isn’t it? Your lack of awareness is at the core of the problem. You never perceive how your actions are seen from your children’s point of view, at least not mine anyway.

Victor: Son, I’ve given you everything, everything you ever needed or wanted. I don’t understand any of this. What is it that I don’t see?

Nick: This ongoing conflict is a push/pull dynamic that is never gonna go away. It’s been going on for decades. I know mom has tried to mediate. It’s no use. I’m not even angry. I’m exhausted. It’s exhausting, and I’m not hungry anymore. I’ll see you later, dad.

Billy: Do you mind if I join you?

Sally: Please. Sit down.

Billy: I was hoping now that you work at newman media, we could have a little chat.

Sally: What makes you think we have anything to chat about?

Billy: Just got a few questions I’d like to ask.

Sally: Oh, really? Are you working on a story about victoria newman’s wedding dress? ‘Cause that really seems to be the only thing the media wants to talk with me about recently.

Billy: Well, it was a beautiful dress. Right now I’m looking for background on a story about newman media and the company’s entanglement in the disappearance of a man named jesse gaines.

Sally: I have no idea who you’re talking about.

Billy: I’m following up on a source that suggested adam and victor were involved in the disappearance. And you flew on adam’s private jet to tuscany, correct? I’m just wondering if you overheard anything, particularly on the return flight.

Sally: I have nothing to say to you. I know that you’re a rival of newman media. My loyalty lies with them, period.

Billy: I wonder how long that’ll last. I couldn’t help but notice the two of you getting cozy at the palazzo. You may think that you have a line into him, but believe me, adam is as savvy and dangerous as they come and he only worries about himself. So I suggest that you protect yourself.

Sally: Well, you’re not the first person to warn me about adam. Pretty sure you won’t be the last. But I’ve also been warned about you and your personal vendetta against him, so you know what? I can hold my own and make my own decisions, thank you very much.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Hey, it’s phyllis. Bring up a bottle of our best champagne, also two orders of filet mignon, and, um… chocolate-covered strawberries, for sure. You know what? Just bring up everything that is a best-seller in our romance and honeymoon package. Yeah, thank you.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Victoria: So, what did the doctor say?

Ashland: Can we maybe talk about this at home or someplace more private?

Victoria: No, no, no, no, no. I can’t wait. I want to know now. What did — what did he say?

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Well, apparently, I’m not reacting to the treatments as everyone had hoped.

Victoria: What does that mean?

Ashland: The chemotherapy’s not working. I mean, we all knew it was a long shot.

Victoria: That’s okay. I mean, we’ll just — we’ll have to deal with it. We’ll find an even more aggressive drug. That’s what we’ll do. Or maybe something that’s even more experimental, if possible. I hope you know that this doesn’t mean that we’re giving up. It just means that we have to fight a lot harder now.

Ashley: Honey, why don’t you just sit down and take a breath?

Abby: They didn’t find chance in the rubble, did they? I mean, maybe he wasn’t even in the building when the bomb went off.

Ashley: I believe that, i really do. I haven’t given up hope, honey, but I think maybe what christine’s trying to do is just prepare in case.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Abby: Maybe it’s the feds with some definitive news about chance.

Ashley: I’m gonna go get it, okay? Just stay put.

Christine: Abby.

Mariah: Hi.

Ashley: Hey.

Mariah: Ashley, um, is something wrong? Is it — is it the baby? Is it dominic?

Ashley: No, the baby’s fine.

Tessa: Christine? Whoa, what’s going on? Is everything okay?

Michael: Oh, hey! I’m so sorry I’m late.

Devon: Hey. It’s okay, michael.

Michael: Hey.

Amanda: It is not a problem. I am just glad that you are here now. We are anxious to hear what is going on with sutton’s case.

Michael: The voir dire is complete.

Devon: That’s jury selection, right?

Michael: Very good. Yes. And I am feeling good about the final 12. Sutton’s defense team, not so much.

Amanda: Why is that?

Michael: They were unhappy about some challenges I made. I was able to get the court to dismiss several potential jurors who seemed to have a bias going in.

Devon: That’s good.

Amanda: Favoring my grandfather, I assume.

Michael: Yeah. Well, it’ll make our job a whole lot easier with a level playing field, huh?

Amanda: All good work, counselor. I wish I could’ve been there to see you in action.

Michael: You’ll get your chance.

Devon: When is the trial set to start?

Michael: Next week.

Devon: That’s very soon.

Michael: I’m ready.

Amanda: Good, because my money’s on you. And I want this over and sutton convicted as soon as possible. The last thing that my mother needs is a long, drawn-out trial, not with her heart condition.

Michael: I had naya’s situation in mind when I devised my case. You’re a key component. That is, if you’ll agree. I’d like you to testify against your grandfather.

Billy: Thank you for coming.

Rey: Sure. What’s this about?

Billy: It’s about a missing person. Someone with a connection to ashland locke. I believe something happened to him.

Rey: Like?

Billy: The guy’s name is jesse gaines, and he has the kind of information that could cause a massive scandal and cost the people involved a fortune. He was on the verge of revealing that information when he suddenly disappeared.

Rey: Well, how do you know he’s not just lying low?

Billy: Well, we have some of the best investigative reporters in america on our payroll, and we haven’t been able to find him.

Rey: And you think locke’s involved?

Billy: I think the real person of interest, who’s smack in the middle of all of this, is adam.

[ Knock on door ]

Sally: Check your e-mail.

Adam: Um, okay. What’s up?

Sally: You said the best thing that you could ask for is a productive and profitable day. Voil. Feast your eyes on not one, not two, but 15 glowing reviews from the european fashion press all about victoria’s wedding and her stunning, one-of-a-kind couture gown by sally spectra for newman fashion.

Adam: That is fantastic. Congratulations.

Sally: Thank you. I’m pretty happy about it, too. It’s not every day you get praise from the movers and shakers of the industry.

Adam: Well, you know what? Why don’t — why don’t we go celebrate? Why don’t we go grab a bite? My treat.

Sally: Yeah, that sounds great. Let’s invite chloe and we will make it a working meal.

Adam: [ Scoffs ]

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Seriously? Hey. Oh, oh, oh. I see where I rate.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] What do you mean?

Phyllis: Well, I mean, since you didn’t want to fly home from tuscany with me, you wanted to go to london. Apparently who’s the first person you see when you do get back into town — sharon.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Noah wanted to surprise his mother and share his big news with her.

Phyllis: What’s his big news?

Nick: Well, he’s decided to stay in genoa city for the foreseeable future.

Phyllis: He’s leaving london?

Nick: Noah’s calling it “taking a break.”

Phyllis: I thought he loved it there.

Nick: Yeah, I thought the same. So I just really wanted to be there with him when he had this conversation with sharon.

Phyllis: Yeah. Well, you guys must be so excited that you have your son back.

Nick: Yeah. I am concerned, though. I mean, it seems impulsive, and noah doesn’t really want to talk about why he’s leaving the uk.

Phyllis: Do you think something bad happened?

Nick: My gut says yes. I’m hoping it’s nothing serious and that he’s willing to open up about it in the next couple days to me.

Phyllis: Mm. Just like I hope you’re willing to open up to me about, you know, what’s going on between us.

Amanda: You want me to testify against my grandfather?

Michael: All I’m asking you to do is to get up on that stand and say exactly what happened. I mean, you, as sutton ames’ granddaughter, accepted a role on his legal team to defend him against these terrible allegations. But once you dived into the research, your position became untenable, and eventually you concluded that you couldn’t defend the man after all.

Devon: Yeah, is what you’re proposing even ethical, michael?

Michael: Amanda was fired from the case, so we’re not breaking any rules.

Devon: No, I know, but everything sutton said to her, isn’t that protected under the attorney-client privilege or — right?

Michael: Okay, okay, listen. Amanda, all I’m interested in is what you learned after you were fired. That’s the only thing I’ll question you on, alright? And since you weren’t representing sutton at the time, I see it as fair game.

Amanda: The defense sure won’T.

Michael: No, no, their heads are gonna explode. I mean, they’ll be objecting so much. I mean, your testimony is the last thing they’re gonna want the jury to see or hear, which is only gonna make them want to see and hear it more. Look, what testimony is more compelling than sutton ames’ own granddaughter and — wait for it — former attorney?

Christine: According to the state department, given the scope of the attack, it’s doubtful anyone inside survived.

Mariah: Oh, my god.

Tessa: Abby, I’m so sorry.

Ashley: Yeah, we’re trying to be positive.

Mariah: Of course. Well, I mean, it’s — it’s definitely possible that chance, you know, wasn’t in the building.

Abby: Yeah, it definitely is. That’s what I’m holding onto.

Tessa: Well, then we will, too.

Abby: Um, christine, there’s — there’s got to be another contact, someone that you can call, someone with a sliver of hope?

Christine: Maybe. Let me make some calls and see what I can learn.

Abby: Thank you. Okay, so, wow. What brings you guys by? Is everything alright?

Tessa: Yeah, everything’s great.

Mariah: The reason for our visit might — might seem a little silly.

Ashley: That’s okay. Maybe we could use a little of that right now.

Abby: Yeah, I need any and all distractions, please.

Mariah: Well, tessa just got back from victoria’s wedding, and she brought a gift back from italy for — for dominic. Here.

Ashley: It’s so cute.

Mariah: Yeah.

Ashley: Aww. Isn’t that sweet?

Abby: Yeah. [ Chuckles ]

Ashley: Isn’t that sweet, huh?

Abby: Yeah, that — that is so cute. Thank you so much. Dominic’s gonna love that. Thank you for thinking of him. Hey, baby. Hey. Look, look what tessa and mariah brought you back from italy. It’s a little bear. And he’s gonna keep you company. Oh, he is so cute, but not nearly as cute as you are.

[ Sighs ]

Billy: Jesse gaines flew to tuscany in order to confront ashland about his past, secrets buried for a lot of years and secrets that ashland wants to keep that way. Gaines wanted to reveal those secrets, and that’s when he vanished from the newman palazzo.

Rey: What was the nature of the information that gaines wanted to reveal?

Billy: I’d rather not get into that right now. But suffice to say that ashland’s paid a lot of money to keep these secrets quiet. He knows that it would jeopardize everything he’s built.

Rey: How does adam factor in?

Billy: Well, as you know, ashland locke and the newmans are family. You add the merger on top of that, the newmans have rallied around ashland to protect him. Too much at stake. Victor newman would never let some nobody risk it all, and that’s where adam comes in. He was in tuscany, and I believe he’s the one that made it happen. How, I don’t know. At this moment, it’s all instinct.

Rey: Yeah, well, I’m gonna need more than just your instincts before I can even consider opening up an official investigation, billy.

Billy: I know that. But I came to you because i think you know the man adam is, and I don’t think you believe that he’s changed at all. So if you want the opportunity to get justice for this gaines guy and rid us all of adam, this is your opportunity.

Sharon: What are you two talking about so intently? (Drill sergeant) what a pleasant morning. It’s warm, but not too warm.

Nick: I’m not sure what you mean. Nothing’s going on with us.

Phyllis: Alright. I mean, I’m not completely convinced. I mean, that’s what you said, that everything was fine. I need more convincing. Listen…I know things are very difficult for you right now. There’s a lot of strain on your relationship with your dad and victoria, but I want to help you. I want to be there for you. And it just seems like you’re pushing me away, that’s all, and especially — especially — if i say one little thing about your family or agree with you about something you’re saying about your family. You take that as a criticism.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I’m having a rough time, okay? And I’m probably not handling it the way I should be. Phyllis, I’m not pushing you away. Alright? I wouldn’t do that.

Phyllis: Okay. It just seemed like that, and I think it was a lot more than, like, old insecurities coming back, that’s all. Um…i am here for you. I’m your partner, you know? Your teammate. I don’t like being distant from you.

Rey: Billy was concerned about a person who’s gone missing. He was looking for advice on what to do next. Listen, what you’re asking me is out of my jurisdiction, but i can approach the proper authorities at that locale.

Billy: Great. Glad to hear you say that.

Rey: Let me finish. I’m gonna need more to go on, more evidence. What you’re offering me right now is purely circumstantial.

Billy: And if I can get you that, you’ll put the right people on the trail?

Rey: We’ll see.

Billy: Thank you. Sharon, good to see you.

Rey: What?

Sharon: Mm, I’m just curious. Why did billy come to you about this?

Devon: Michael, you’re, uh — you’re asking a whole lot.

Michael: Yeah.

Devon: Yeah.

Michael: No doubt. Nobody wants to get on a witness stand and testify under oath and then be mercilessly cross-examined, but if we want to present our case quickly and effectively…

Amanda: Which is exactly what we want. Sutton belongs in prison, and naya and imani, they deserve peace.

Devon: Sure, but what about your life and what about your peace? I think this is something that you should think about before you just make a quick decision.

Amanda: What is there to think about? Sutton is responsible for my father’s death. I owe him no loyalty.

Devon: I know. I know you don’t owe him anything, but you — you have a very strong emotional connection to all this because he’s your grandfather and ’cause he’s the head of this new family that you’ve become part of.

Amanda: A family that is tired of having every aspect of their lives controlled by him.

Devon: Right, I understand this. I just want you to consider what it means to testify in open court and have your words be out there and be public record that you can’t take back. I just want you to think about it. I want you to think about what it means and how it’s gonna affect your relationships with your new family members — with your mom, with your sister. How could it possibly put you in danger if the whole trial goes south and sutton walks and then wants to retaliate? I mean, michael has made it clear that just being a witness is — it’s grueling.

Michael: Yes, yes, grueling. That’s a good word.

[ Sighs ] Your testimony could span several days. This is not a request that i make lightly.

Devon: Right. So do you want to put yourself through that?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Excuse me. Waiting for a message all day. It’s abby. She’s asking me to come to the mansion because of an emergency.

Amanda: Is there a problem with the baby?

Devon: She didn’t say anything about the baby, but i don’t think that she would ask me to come if it wasn’t something serious.

Amanda: Okay, well, it sounds like she needs you. Go. I’ll be fine.

Devon: I don’t feel right leaving. This is a big decision that you need to make.

Amanda: I will take everything that you said into consideration, but please just tell me as soon as you know what’s going on.

Devon: Okay. I love you.

Amanda: Love you, too.

Devon: I’ll see you, michael.

Michael: Bye. Alright. Listen to me. Let’s go over devon’s concerns and yours one at a time. Because I’m convinced this is our best shot at a conviction. If you’re on medicare, remember,

Amanda: We can only assume that if I testify, the defense will say that I am just trying to settle a score with sutton since he forced my mother to give up my twin and me at birth.

Michael: They can try.

Amanda: And how will you counter?

Michael: That the mounting evidence convinced you that sutton was lying about his involvement in richard’s death, so you went in search for the truth, which you found.

Amanda: A confession that’s not an actual confession, michael. All it is is my grandfather making disparaging remarks about my father, saying that he’s a nobody, talking about the “accidents of birth” that he’s willing to sacrifice and how he can live with what he’s done.

Michael: Well, he also said that richard nealon was a problem that needed to be handled, someone who could tear down everything he had worked to build.

Amanda: It’s still his word against mine.

Michael: Yeah, well, your word is backed up by a recording.

Amanda: A recording that the defense is gonna say is inadmissible because of the way that I obtained it.

Michael: Recording that the jury will know exists and that everything you say is true. Otherwise, why would the defense be so adamant about keeping it out of the courtroom and — and if the judge does not allow the recording to be admitted, which is not a given, the jury will still know what’s on it because no one will be able to unhear your sworn testimony. You know as well as I do, if a prosecutor had to rely on a murder suspect’s full confession, it would be virtually impossible to get a conviction. It happens in only the rarest of cases. Sutton’s legal team just has to create reasonable doubt, and believe me, trust me, they’re going in there with a lot of confidence. We have to take the jury on the same journey you took to see sutton for who he is, for exactly who he is. A man who’s capable of having your father killed and then had the audacity to hire you to defend him.

That’s how we win. That’s how we get justice for your father. That and nothing less.

Amanda: Okay. I’ll do it.

Michael: [ Sighs ]

Rey: Billy came to me for the obvious reason — I’m with the police. He needed guidance on how to proceed with a potential missing-persons case.

Sharon: Who’s missing?

Rey: Someone I never heard of. It probably has something to do with a story that billy’s covering.

Sharon: Well, I watched the two of you talking, and it seemed a lot more intense than that, which leads me to wonder if there is more to this. What else did he say?

Rey: Sharon, you heard what i told him. Without more information, there’s nothing I can do for him. It’ll probably turn out to be nothing. There’s no reason for you to get involved.

Billy: Adam.

Adam: Billy.

Billy: Hi, there.

Sally: Hey. I’m gonna call chloe, see if she’s on her way. I don’t want to start without her.

Adam: So, my dad tells me that you made quite the noble gesture in tuscany. You actually deleted the video instead of using it to bury ashland.

Billy: Don’t sound so shocked.

Adam: No. No, you misinterpret, I’m, um — I’m impressed and I’m shocked that you chose to do the right thing.

Billy: Well, you know me, full of surprises. Speaking of surprises, jesse gaines.

Adam: What about him?

Billy: Well, I’m still trying to figure out why he didn’t follow through with his threat to go public with the information that he has. I mean, he’s got the proof to show that ashland built his entire empire with money stolen from a dead woman.

Adam: Ah. So the gesture wasn’t that noble after all. You let gaines be the bad guy.

Billy: Jesse gaines only agreed to come to tuscany because he wanted the opportunity to tell the world exactly who ashland locke really is. And then he just up and vanishes. Sounds mysterious to me.

Adam: Why is it you are always looking for the nefarious side of everything?

Billy: Maybe it’s ’cause every time you’re involved, it’s always nefarious.

Adam: Hmm.

will continue.

Christine: So I just got off the phone with one of my contacts at the bureau. He had some intel on the bombing. Local police and fire department teams are starting a search-and-rescue of the collapsed building. Unfortunately, there’s nothing to report yet.

Abby: Well, maybe he called or texted me.

Ashley: Anything?

Abby: No, not yet, but, look, I know he’s gonna call me. I know that he’s gonna tell me that he wasn’t in that building and that he is okay.

Mariah: I’m sure you’re right, abby.

Ashley: If he’s in a position to reach out, honey, your husband will. I know he would.

Abby: Christine, don’t you know anyone in D.C.? Someone that you could call?

Christine: There’s a supervisor at justice. I just don’t think she would know anything at this point.

Abby: Please just call them, please. I need to know that my husband’s okay.

Christine: Let me reach out to her.

Abby: I’m coming with you.

Ashley: Guess we just wait.

Mariah: [ Sighs ] Look at this little guy. He’s just sleeping through this whole ordeal. You got the right idea, kiddo.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Devon: Hey.

Ashley: Hi, come on in.

Devon: Thank you. I just got abby’s text asking me to come over here. Is everything alright with the baby?

Mariah: Yeah, dominic’s fine.

Ashley: It’s chance. Something’s happened.

Adam: I’m not sure what you’re implying.

Billy: This profound change, this miraculous transformation that you’re claiming you’ve gone through. All of a sudden now you care about your family? You save teenagers from car crashes and donate your organs. It’s all an act, carefully calculated to win hearts and minds, and one heart and mind in particular. And this time, it’s not victor. It’s sharon. Doing everything you can to show her your hidden nobility. You know, I will say, I am impressed with the lengths that you’ve gone to. I think you understand that it had to be big and bold in order to convince everyone that it was real.

Adam: Huh. Well, you just got me all figured out, don’t you?

Billy: You fool a lot of people, adam, just not me. Or anyone else that knows who you are and what you’re capable of, especially those people that understand the history between you and your father. I mean, is there anything you won’t do to get a pat on the head from your dear old dad?

Adam: [ Exhales sharply ] You know, it sounds like you think that I had something to do with gaines going off the grid.

Billy: I didn’t say that. Didn’t mention anything like that at all. But it is interesting that you would go there.

Adam: Maybe he grew a conscious, you know? I mean, that happens. Look at you. Okay, but that was actually a really bad example.

Billy: I don’t think so. I don’t think gaines is the type, and I pride myself on being able to read people.

Adam: I don’t know, maybe he got another offer. Odds are we will never know.

Billy: Yeah. Well, I would take that bet.

Adam: Spoken like a true gambler.

Sally: Am I interrupting?

Billy: Not at all. Enjoy yourself.

Sally: What was that all about? On ancestry I discovered more about my

Michael: Hmm, one more thing to ponder — hilary.

Amanda: What about her?

Michael: Some members of the jury, if not all of them, are likely to know who she was, perhaps were even fans of her show. So when I mention your identical twin who you were deprived of ever meeting or sharing a childhood with…

Amanda: You don’t think that’s manipulative?

Michael: It’s a fact of the case. It’s what they’ll be thinking of in the jury room at 9:00 at night when they’re deliberating over cold pizza. It’s all about breaking through to their humanity, making a decades-old murder case seem as relevant and urgent today as it was when it was committed, and you’ll be there to lead those people, to let them know exactly what sutton ames took from you. Look, are you alright? I mean, we can take a break.

Amanda: Yeah, no, I’M… I’m fine. Thank you, though.

Michael: Are you 100% sure you want to go through with this?

Amanda: I’m committed to testifying, absolutely.

[ Sighs ] I think that I’m starting to feel overwhelmed because i finally feel like we have a shot at winning this case. Michael, for the first time, I feel like I’m gonna get justice for my father and that i will get a conviction and that sutton will finally pay for what he had done, and when that day comes, I will be enormously satisfied.

Michael: Yeah, you will.

Amanda: But I would trade it all for one day with my father.

Phyllis: Where did you go?

Nick: Nowhere interesting.

Phyllis: Oh, come on. You can tell me. Tell me anything.

Nick: Alright. I was just, uh…thinking about being a newman and what that really means. Which is something I thought I’d dealt with a long time ago. It’s not like I’m adam, like the black sheep of the family or like victoria who’s chained to the office, trying to prove she’s the heir to the empire. I’m just doing my own thing, you know? Trying to stay above the fray, not having any real secret ambitions, not feeling like i have to prove myself to my dad one minute, and the next trying to hurt him. Just being me, you know? But it’s like every time there’s a problem in this family, who do they come to? Me. No matter what is going on, I’m always there for them. But I feel like I’m just constantly on the outside.

Phyllis: Yeah. Despite that, you know, any time anyone has a problem, you are there to protect them or defend them or whatever you need to do. I mean, it must be really frustrating for you, with your family, I mean. It’s like you are always there supporting them and showing loyalty and commitment. You’re like the only one, right? But it’s looked at as, you know, weakness or…not taken seriously.

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Oh, my gosh. Seriously? What did I say? What did I just say?

Nick: I just — I know, okay? I know how much you hate my family, and it’s just — it’s hard to hear how much you can’t stand them.

Adam: Well, it’s a shame chloe couldn’t make it.

Sally: I know. The fashion division is her baby. We should be celebrating together.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] I agree.

Sally: Anyway, what was the deal between you and billy abbott?

Adam: Oh, he was just posturing. As usual. It’s gotten to be kind of a game with us.

Sally: A game?

Adam: Yeah, you know, calling each other out, pushing each other’s buttons. We both claim we’re trying to better ourselves, but neither one of us believes the other is capable of doing it.

Sally: Well, I think you’ve changed your life tremendously. At least from everything I have heard and read.

Adam: I’m working at it.

Sally: But you’re not allowing for the possibility that billy is, too?

Adam: [ Exhales sharply ] There’s a difference. I didn’t like who I was. I think he still misses his reckless lifestyle. I mean, he is a gambler who loses more than he wins. He’s just an addict who has found another way to chase the rush. And he will never forgive me for delia’s death, which there’s nothing I can do about that. And trying to destroy me, it’ll always be one of those rushes for billy.

Sally: I get that.

Adam: Yeah, he’ll never stop grieving the loss of his daughter, never stop blaming me, hating me, which I understand. I do. I earned his hatred. But I will never like the guy or respect the guy. And I’ll sure as hell never trust him.

Sally: Are you afraid of what he might do to you one day?

Billy: Marty. Hey, it’s billy. I’m sorry to bother you again. Do you remember our good friend, jesse gaines? Yeah, well, he’s vanished again, except this time, it’s not his doing. Call it a strong hunch. I think he posed too big of a threat to the newman powers-that-be. Yes, he was in tuscany for the wedding, and that’s where he disappeared during the festivities. My working theory is that victor’s son adam is the one behind it. I talked to the police, but they need more information, and that’s where you come in. I need your investigative talents to find gaines. Drop everything else. You’re the best. Thank you.

Sharon: Now it all makes sense. Why you went to rey.

Devon: I mean, honestly, it’s been hard to try and not prepare myself for something like this happening, just given how dangerous the mission was and how much time chance has been gone.

Ashley: I’ve been afraid of this. I really have been. I mean, the longer this goes on and on, I’ve just been… terrified.

Mariah: Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Tessa: Can’t assume the worst.

Abby: Devon, hey, I’m so happy you could come over.

Devon: Hey, abby. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry to hear this news. Listen, listen to me, listen. None of us are gonna give up, okay? None of us are gonna give up.

Abby: Thank you. I can really use your hope and strength right now.

Phyllis: You know, there is an easy solution to all of this — ignore them. Ignore every single mean thing that your family does to you over and over and over and over again, okay? I mean, you said it yourself, you’re very successful. You’ve built a whole career on your own without your family’s help. Your kids are successful. You are dating a wildly successful woman. Not to mention, I am a knockout. But [Huffs] You don’t seem to look at that. Okay? Just who cares about what your screwed-up family does? Who cares?

Nick: Your go-to solution for any problem is just pretend it doesn’t exist. Well, I can’t do that.

Phyllis: That is not what I’m saying. That’s not what I’m saying.

Nick: This is my family, alright? For better or worse, they’re mine, and I’m dealing with some pretty big issues right now and they’re important to me, and you just want to, like, trivialize them.

Phyllis: I’m not trivializing it. I’m — how dare you say that to me, nick. Seriously.

[ Huffs ] It doesn’t even matter what i say anymore. You always think the absolute worst about me, don’t you? No matter how hard I work to bend over backwards to help you with your family.

Nick: [ Groans ]

Adam: Rest assured, I’m not worried about billy or what he might do to me. But with that said, I mean, things are probably about to get worse between us.

Sally: Why is that?

Adam: Look, like I said, i mean, it’s just — it’s an ongoing thing with me and billy. The details, they don’t really matter. So just I don’t want you to worry.

Sharon: I’ve heard enough of your conversation with your reporter to realize that you’re investigating adam. You obviously believe that he has something to do with this person going missing, and because of that, you went to rey, hoping to dredge the bad blood they’ve had between them in the past.

Billy: That wasn’t my intention, sharon.

Sharon: You used the possibility of getting something on adam to pull rey into this. Whatever your excuse is this time, it’s always something to try to go after him, to try to hurt him. When is this gonna stop with you, billy? When are you gonna let go of your hatred for adam?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Brady: Is johnny kidding with this script? How could marlena be okay with this?

[Knock at door] Lucas, hey.

Lucas: Hey, you got some time?

Brady: Yeah, come on in. So what’s up?

Lucas: What the hell are you trying to pull with chloe?

Chloe: Nicole, hey.

Nicole: Oh, hi, chloe.

Chloe: Oh, is something wrong?

Nicole: Yeah, it’s–it’s abe. He was shot tonight.

Chloe: Oh, yeah, I just saw a headline on the news as I was crossing to the lobby. Is he gonna be okay?

Nicole: Well, according to this, he’s in surgery, but he should make a full recovery.

Chloe: Oh, thank goodness.

Nicole: Yeah, he was right in salem park, and someone took a shot at him.

Chloe: That’s so scary.

Nicole: It is. You know, abe’s the closest thing I have to a father. I–I don’t know what I would do without him in my life. Anyway, what were you doing coming out of the inn?

Chloe: I’m living there for now.

Nicole: I–I thought you were staying with philip.

Chloe: I was.

Nicole: Oh, dear, what happened?

Chloe: He and I had a big fight, and I moved out.

Nicole: What was the fight about?

Chloe: What do you think? Brady.

[Tense music]

Philip: That bastard. I don’t have time now. Whatever it is, it’s gonna have to wait.

Ava: So I guess you heard that the cops picked up jake dimera?

Philip: No, what happened?

Ava: You don’t know? Abe carver was shot today.

[Dramatic music]

Jake: I’m going nuts in here.

Gabi: I know, but at least rafe let me stay with you. It’s the only upside to him being commissioner.

Jake: I just wish I knew what the hell was going on with the mayor considering everything that happened to him is my responsibility.

Gabi: Shh. Do not let rafe hear you say that.

Rafe: What am I not supposed to hear?

Gabi: Oh, is there any news about abe?

Rafe: Huh. As a matter of fact there is. Abe was transferred to the trauma unit at university hospital. They were waiting for him to stabilize before they took him to the or when his heart stopped.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Maggie: Paulina.

Paulina: Yes.

Maggie: We haven’t officially met. I’m maggie horton. I’m an old friend of abe’S.

Paulina: Oh, yes–yes, of– of course. Yeah, abe told me about you. You’ve–what–what a fine person you are.

Maggie: Well, that’s lovely to hear. That’s very nice coming from a wonderful man like abe. I heard what happened, and I wanted to–to offer my support. Is he okay?

Paulina: Oh, maggie, our precious abe.

Maggie: Oh.

Paulina: [Sobbing]

Jake: Oh, my god. Abe’s dead?

Rafe: Technically, yes.

Gabi: What does that mean?

Rafe: He flatlined. They tried to revive him, and, well, finally they did. He’s in surgery now.

Jake: Oh, thank god.

Rafe: Well, why would you tell jake that abe was dead?

Rafe: Has it slipped your mind that I am a cop, okay? I wanted to gauge his reaction.

Gabi: Oh, well, did he pass your little test?

Rafe: Well, I’m not sure yet.

Jake: You had a chance to talk to him?

Rafe: No, I haven’T. He’s not allowed to accept visitors until tomorrow.

Gabi: So he didn’t tell you what happened.

Rafe: No, and in fact, I was hoping to hear that from you. But you realize your best option is telling the truth, all of it?

Gabi: He’s innocent. You have nothing on him.

Rafe: Yet your boyfriend here, he was at the scene of the crime. His fingerprints are all over the gun that was used to shoot abe. So I’ve got plenty on him.

[Tense music]

Philip: What reason would jake have to shoot abe carver?

Ava: I don’t have a clue, but it sure does screw up our plans with jake and gabi, though.

Philip: Kind of hard to hold zanetti’s death over jake’s head if he’s already in jail for shooting abe carver.

Ava: And gabi is not gonna sign gabi chic over to us.

Philip: Because carmine’s not a threat to jake.

Carmine: I wouldn’t be so quick to say that if I was you.

Brady: What happens between chloe and me is none of your business.

Lucas: Philip and i were in the square last night, and we saw you on chloe going in the salem inn together. And you were carrying her suitcase for her very gallant–

Brady: Well, hey, I’m just that kinda guy.

Lucas: Are you also the kinda guy who spends the night with another man’s girlfriend?

Nicole: So what was the fight about?

Chloe: Well, philip punched brady.

Nicole: What?

Chloe: Yeah, he’s acting like a maniac. I feel like I’m back in high school.

Nicole: Sounds beyond adolescent to me. Please tell me you broke it off with him.

Chloe: I did not, but I do feel like we shouldn’t be living under the same roof, and realistically I moved into the kiriakis mansion so I could get back on my feet after my gunshot wound, but now I don’t–i don’t really have any reason to be there, you know.

Nicole: Mm-hmm.

[Phone rings] Oh.

Chloe: Do you need to get that?

Nicole: No, it’s no one important.

Ej: Hi, nicole, just wondering if you’d be interested in having dinner with me tonight? Perhaps the third time’s a charm, and in the interest of avoiding interruptions, you could come here. I actually seem to be home alone.

Kristen: Guess again.

Ej: What are you doing here?

[Tense music]

Gabi: Jake must have touched the gun when he found abe. That’s the only reason his prints could be on the gun.

Rafe: You wanna get kicked out of here?

Gabi: Of course not.

Rafe: Then keep quiet. Now, you didn’t just happen to pick up the gun, did you?

Jake: No.

Rafe: No, because, you know, it’s registered in your name.

Gabi: Yes, but–

Jake: Gabi, I made this mess. It’s up to me to clean it up. I’ll tell you everything I know.

Rafe: Good plan.

Gabi: This is good for him, not good for you. Don’t–don’t say another word. You know that he is allowed to have an attorney present. You know that.

Rafe: Yeah, maybe you should use your one call to lawyer up instead of calling gabi, because she’s really not helping you right now.

Jake: Gabi, he’s gonna talk to the mayor in the morning. He’s gonna find out everything that went down no matter what I do right now. You want the whole story? I’ll give it to you from the beginning.

Philip: How’d you get into this house?

Carmine: Some stiff in a monkey suit opened the door for me.

Philip: Henderson wouldn’t let you come in here.

Carmine: He didn’t want to. I had to lean on him a little bit.

Ava: You’re not even supposed to be in salem. What are you doing here?

Carmine: Nice place you got here.

Philip: Answer the lady’s question.

Carmine: You two both owe me.

[Tense music]

I’m here to collect.

Brady: I’m good friends with chloe. That’s why I was helping her move into the salem inn.

Lucas: Yeah, right.

Brady: I’ve been more than respectful of her relationship with philip.

Lucas: Except when chloe tries to put distance between them, then there you are. You’re always there, right? You’re sleeping in the same bed with her on a business trip. You’re helping her move out of his place. Come on, man.

Brady: Nothing, nothing happened between chloe and me either of those times.

Lucas: Philip is your flesh and blood, brady. He deserves better from you, and you know it.

Nicole: Oh, okay, thank you. Thank you so much. So abe is now out of surgery and in icu and in stable condition.

Chloe: Oh, that’s a relief.

Nicole: Yes, it is.

Chloe: So why are you being so mysterious about that last call that you had before you called the hospital?

Nicole: I wasn’t being mysterious. Okay, fine, fine. It was–it was ej. He invited me to dinner.

Chloe: Oh, and I’m assuming the answer is no?

Nicole: I don’t know.

Chloe: Then why didn’t you take his call?

Nicole: Well, because last night at dinner–

Chloe: You went out with him last night too?

Nicole: Yeah, but I did something a little underhanded.

Chloe: Underhanded? What did you eat an extra bread roll?

Nicole: No, seriously. I-I-I truly did something underhanded. I let–I let steve johnson hack into ej’s phone.

Chloe: What? Why?

Nicole: Because steve is on some mission to track down kristen, and I pray to god that he finds her and throws her behind bars for the rest of her miserable life.

Ej: Kristen, you do know you shouldn’t come within a thousand miles of salem.

Kristen: Yeah, well, I had to see you.

Ej: You’ve been on the run for months. Why now?

Kristen: Well, there’s something I have to do. That. I order my groceries online now.

Paulina: I am just such a mess, as you can see.

Maggie: Well, you’re entitled, and–and so abe, is he gonna be okay?

Paulina: Thank god; he just woke up a few minutes ago. I told him how grateful we were to him for fighting his way back, told him that we loved him. And he–he said it right back.

Maggie: [Gasps]

Paulina: He said “love you” right before he closed his eyes again.

Maggie: Oh, paulina. Oh, I am so relieved to hear this.

Paulina: [Exhales] I was so scared, maggie. Even though abe and I, we haven’t known each other for very long, but he–he’s become such an important part of my life.

Maggie: Well, from what I’ve heard, he feels the same way about you.

Paulina: [Chuckles] Yeah, which makes me very– a very, very, very lucky woman and surprised really, because I never expected to find love at this point in my life.

Maggie: Well, that does my heart good. I’m just so glad that abe too has found love. ‘Cause he has so much to give. That I know.

Paulina: Yes, he does.

Maggie: Well, I-I-I wished that I could see him, but I-I suppose it’s better for me to just wait.

Paulina: Probably–probably at least so he’s a little bit stronger. Yeah, my–my daughter is in there with him now. I mean, my–no, my niece, lonnie, she–I’m sorry. I don’t know what I’m saying.

Maggie: Well, you’ve been through a lot.

Paulina: Yeah, not as much as poor abe has, though.

Maggie: Paulina, do they know how it happened? I mean–I mean, how he got shot, who shot him?

Paulina: Nope–nope, nobody knows. Nobody knows yet, but you just wait till I get my hands on whoever’s that is to blame.

Gabi: But there’s something that you don’t know. Philip is trying to find dirt to use against jake.

Rafe: Why?

Gabi: Because he wants to blackmail me into signing over gabi chic to him.

Rafe: Okay, what does this have to do with abe? And I thought that I was talking to you.

Jake: Okay, it’s like gabi said, philip’s trying to dig up dirt on me to use against her. So he looked up an old coworker of mine in philly.

Rafe: Uh-huh.

Jake: His name’s carmine.

Rafe: Carmine what?

Jake: Marlino.

Rafe: Okay, is carmine mobbed up?

Jake: Yeah.

Rafe: What’s he have on you?

Jake: Nothing. But philip convinced him to go on record saying I took out a guy we both knew.

Rafe: Yeah, what’s his name?

Jake: Jed zanetti.

Rafe: So in addition to the attempted murder charges that you’re facing here, you’re also wanted for murder in another jurisdiction?

Gabi: He told you he didn’t do it.

Rafe: Did I not tell you to keep quiet or you’re getting kicked out of here?

Jake: All right, look. Carmine is trying to pin zanetti’s death on me, and philip is more than happy to help him do it.

Rafe: What does all this have to do with abe?

Jake: All right. So I called carmine to come to salem, have a sit-down. I was hoping maybe I could reason with him.

Rafe: Oh. Was he reasonable?

Jake: No. So I–i sort of threatened him.

Rafe: Ahh. So that’s why you had your gun.

Jake: Yeah, but man, I wasn’t gonna hurt him. I just wanted him to go away. Leave us alone. Carmine knew I was bluffing.

Gabi: He knows that jake’s no killer.

Jake: Carmine, he wrestled the gun away from me, and that’s when abe walked up. He saw what was going on. He sized up the situation, tried to intervene. That’s when carmine turned on him and shot him point-blank.

Rafe: Hmm. Yeah, then what happened?

Jake: Carmine dropped the gun, and he ran. I stayed and called 911.

Gabi: No, he also gave abe cpr, which I think saved his life. Now, if he shot abe, do you think he’d really stick around to do that? He is telling you the truth. You know that.

Philip: If you think you can shake me down for more money you’re dreaming.

Carmine: I’m in a mess because of you too. You wanted me to finger jake for offing jed zanetti.

Ava: What kind of mess?

Carmine: Jake, he got word to me that he wanted a meeting. So I showed up.

Ava: Without clearing it with me?

Carmine: We figured it wouldn’t be a problem, but the little sob started waving a gun around. After that, things got a little out of hand.

Ava: How out of hand?

Carmine: I grabbed the gun. Some guy walks in out of nowhere. He ended up getting shot.

Philip: A guy you shot is the mayor of this town, you idiot. Jake’s in jail for shooting him.

Carmine: I’m aware.

Ava: Okay, so who did shoot the mayor, carmine?

Carmine: It was the gun. It just went off. It was an accident.

Philip: You shot abe carver?

Carmine: It was not my fault he caught a bullet. The way I see it, it’s your problem.

Lucas: So philip sent you here to fight his battle for him?

Brady: He doesn’t even know I’m here right now.

Luc you know what? Chloe is–is probably the best thing that’s happened to him in a long time. And from what I heard, you had your chance with chloe, and you blew it, right?

Brady: Lucas, I was in a committed relationship. I couldn’t tell chloe that–that I wanted her as much as she wanted me.

Lucas: Great, great. Good for you. You finally figured out that kristen’s no good. But it doesn’t give you the right to steal philip’s girlfriend.

Brady: Let me ask you something. Have you–have you asked chloe what she wants? All right, I didn’t think so. I mean, how could you face her, right? Sami didn’t want ej to find out the two of you had slept together, so she talked you into romancing chloe as a cover. I don’t think you cared about chloe’s feelings then. I sure as hell don’t think you care about them now, lucas.

Lucas: Listen to me. I’m not proud about what I did, okay? But we all know why sami did what she did, because of kristen, because of your girlfriend. What did she do? She kidnapped chloe and threw her in the trunk of my mom’s car. And then what, gets shot by jan spears? Face it, man. As long as kristen’s out there, you’re a walking death threat to chloe, and you know it.

Chloe: Why is steve johnson trying to track down kristen all of a sudden?

Nicole: I don’t know, and I don’t care. I just want him to find her and lock her up.

Chloe: Okay, then why are you feeling guilty?

Nicole: Well, because I–I don’t like going behind ej’s back. But I don’t feel one bit of guilt about outing kristen, because I don’t owe that bitch anything for what she did to me.

Chloe: You’re not gonna get an argument from me. As far as I’m concerned, I hope steve is slapping some handcuffs on her right now.

Nicole: Right?

Ej: You risked your life to come back here and slap my face. Why?

Kristen: Don’t tell me you weren’t in on it.

Ej: In on what?

Kristen: I have been off the grid for months. And then all of sudden I get a message that steve johnson is breathing down my neck. I barely got out ahead of him.

Ej: Then why in god’s name did you come back here?

Kristen: Because it turns out he traced my location from the phone number I gave you. Oh, I have risked everything, everything to tell you that sami betrayed you. And I did it because I trusted you.

Ej: Do you really think I would ever give you up to steve johnson or anyone else for that matter?

Kristen: Oh, my god. Then–then if you didn’t, then how did he get my number?

Ej: I don’t know. May…

[Exhales] Bloody hell. I think I know how it happened. Want your clothes to smell freshly washed

Kristen: You know how steve johnson got my number?

Ej: I was having dinner out last night. Steve johnson and his wife came over to my table ostensibly to say hello.

Kristen: Why? They hate you?

Ej: Right? And that soon became apparent. Kayla johnson was sloppy drunk. She knocked over my wine glasses, splashed wine all over my shirt. I looked a mess, so I ran to the men’s room to clean up. I realize now I left my phone on the table.

Kristen: You idiot. Kayla probably wasn’t even drunk. Come on, they set you up. I can’t believe you left your phone alone with those nosy do-gooders.

Ej: Actually, they weren’t alone.

Chloe: So what’s the deal with you and ej? Are you guys, like, seeing each other?

Nicole: Well, we went out to dinner a couple of times. It is a little weird, ’cause he’s my boss.

Chloe: Not to mention your ex, so how’s it going?

Nicole: Well, the first time we ran into rafe and ava, and then ej and rafe had words.

Chloe: Over you?

Nicole: Over me, over sami. Oh, they just hate each other. And then there was that whole thing with steve and kayla that happened.

Chloe: Hmm, do you think that maybe all these interruptions might be a sign?

Nicole: Mm, ej’s message said that he wanted to do a do-over.

Chloe: And what do you think?

Nicole: I think that I want to give it a try, you know. Ej’s trying to put his life back together, and so am I.

Chloe: So are two just commiserating?

Nicole: Well, he– he did kiss me.

Chloe: Ah, nicole.

Nicole: What?

Chloe: Look, I know that you’ve felt lonely since eric left, but come on. There are more guys in this town other than xander and ej.

Nicole: Yeah, believe me, I know.

Chloe: What’s that supposed to mean?

Nicole: It means I need a distraction.

Chloe: From thinking about eric?

Nicole: Mm, it’s not that simple.

Chloe: What do you mean?

Nicole: The one person I can’t stop thinking about is rafe.

Rafe: Well, jake, your story has some believable elements. That would explain the additional prints that were found on the gun.

Gabi: What additional prints? You never mentioned additional prints.

Rafe: You know, if his story is true, you shouldn’t act surprised, okay? We weren’t able to match the prints, but now that we have carmine’s name, we might have the physical evidence, and his story might bear out to be true.

Jake: It is.

Rafe: Okay, any idea where carmine is now?

Gabi: Oh, if it were me, the first person I’d check in with is philip kiriakis.

Philip: You shot the mayor, and you think it’s my problem?

Carmine: Yeah, if it wasn’t for you and her, I’d still be in philly minding my own business.

Ava: We didn’t ask you to come to salem to shoot the mayor. We didn’t ask you to come to salem at all.

Carmine: I told you. Jake got me here. He pulled a gun on me, and I had to take it away from him.

Ava: You didn’t have to use it on the mayor.

Carmine: I was defending myself.

Philip: Nah, I don’t think the mayor is gonna see it that way, and I guarantee jake won’T.

Ava: You know that he’s in custody right now, right? He’s probably singing like he’s on broadway. And it’s all about you.

Carmine: Cops pick me up, I’ll have my own song to sing. So you two better take care of me.

Philip: What do you want?

Carmine: This place looks like it’s got a hundred rooms. Hide me out in one until this blows over.

Philip: I’ll have to think about it.

Carmine: Well, while you’re thinking about it, where’s the gents? It’s been a long day.

Philip: Out the door to the left, second door on the right.

Ava: So what the hell are we gonna do now?

Get ready. It’s time for

the savings event of the year.

Maggie: Paulina, I know what it’s like when you want to take revenge on someone who hurts the person that you love. But I think it would be better for you to let the police take care of whoever did this to abe and for you to focus on abe’s recovery and yourself.

Paulina: Yeah, you’re right. You’re right, maggie. You are right. I wanna let go of this anger and throw all my energy into helping abe to heal.

Maggie: Well, I hope so for your sake as well as abe’S.

Paulina: You are a very wise woman. And beautiful too.

Maggie: Thank you. So are you.

Paulina: Anybody ever tell you you look like bonnie raitt?

Maggie: Actually, you’re the first. Hmm, that’s quite a compliment. I am a big fan of hers.

Paulina: Oh?

Maggie: Yeah.

Paulina: Oh, well, then hey, well, you know, maybe when abe gets back on his feet, we can all go to a monterey karaoke together?

Maggie: Oh, oh, I’d love that.

Paulina: We give them something to talk about.

Marlena: Mm-hmm, damn right.

Paulina: [Laughs]

Jake: When you talk to the mayor I swear he’s gonna back up everything I said.

Rafe: Mm-hmm. Oh, even if he does, you’re not off the hook. You brought a loaded gun and a mobster to the park. And because of you abe carver almost died.

Jake: What are you gonna charge me with?

Rafe: Well, I don’t know yet. But if you know what’s good for you, you will walk away from this criminal and never look back.

Chloe: You do have a thing for rafe. I knew it. Why didn’t you tell me?

Nicole: Because it’s–it’s complicated, you know. I wasn’t even clear about it myself, and rafe and I have known each other for so long. You know, he’s–he’s that guy that you–you turn to when things are awful. But I-I was married to the love of my life, or so I thought. Then eric kept staying in–in africa longer and longer, and I started to see rafe differently, but I was still married. And then my–my marriage blew up and then I-I was miserable and guilty. You know, by the time I sorted out my feelings, rafe was with ava. And ava is starting a new life and a new beginning. And she’s my friend too.

Chloe: Do you know what I’m wondering?

Nicole: Oh, I can only imagine.

Chloe: I’m just wondering if that night that eric told you he wasn’t coming home again if you would have run into rafe instead of xander.

Nicole: Well, I think rafe would’ve seen how angry and hurt and drunk I was. And he would have gotten me home and into bed alone.

Chloe: Because he’s an honorable man.

Nicole: And because he was finding something with ava.

Chloe: So you don’t think that he deserves to know how you feel about him?

Nicole: No. No, chloe, I can’T. I just I–I can’T.

Chloe: Hmm, so you’re dating ej instead. That makes a lot of sense.

Nicole: About as much sense as you wanting brady and dating philip.

Chloe: Brady was in love with kristen.

Nicole: Yep, not anymore.

Chloe: Look, I really–i really like philip. When he’s not acting like a jealous idiot, he can be really sweet and romantic, and we just have a really long history.

Nicole: So do ej and I.

Chloe: And he’s hurt you over and over again.

Nicole: But that’s because sami was in the picture, and now she’s not.

Chloe: For how long? Oh, come on, nicole.

Nicole: Look, you know, a long time ago I was so, so in love with ej. Maybe I can love him again.

Chloe: Mm, assuming it’s not doomed to begin with.

Nicole: What is that supposed to mean?

Chloe: What if he finds out that you double-crossed him and his crazy sister? I mean, he’s still a dangerous man. He’s turned on you before, and god knows if kristen finds out that you helped steve track her down…

Nicole: Kristen is in hiding. She is nowhere near salem.

Chloe: But if steve finds her, she won’t be in hiding anymore.

Kristen: Stop stalling, ej. Who else was at the table when steve hacked your phone?

Ej: It was a dinner date.

Kristen: Name?

Ej: It was a business associate. Steve obviously duped that person into leaving the table.

Kristen: Hmm, and then he hacked your phone that you so stupidly left in plain sight. Oh, I don’t know who I hate more in this moment, steve johnson or you.

Ej: I suggest you turn your wrath on johnson, because right now I’m all you’ve got.

Kristen: Then you better hide me until all this blows over or I swear on my daughter’s life I will take you down with me.

Nicole: Look, I don’t care about kristen. She’s on the ropes, and she knows it. And she needs to keep running, because if they find her, they’re gonna throw her in jail and put her in a prison that she can’t escape from.

Chloe: Mm, we can only hope.

Nicole: And I–I think ej would understand why I did what I did if he finds out, but hopefully he won’T.

Chloe: Mm, then why aren’t you returning his calls?

Nicole: Because I was shocked about abe, and i just needed some time to think. But ej’s message sounded fine, and, you know, maybe I should take him up on his dinner invitation. Maybe I should go to his house right now.

Brady: Look, I hate what kristen put chloe through. It’s a big part of the reason why I broke it off with her, but will you do me a favor? Kristen’s daughter is asleep right down the hall. So if you’re gonna trash-talk her mother try to keep it down a little bit.

Lucas: I’m sorry, all right? I really am. I’m sorry, but–

Brady: Look, lucas, the bottom line is, you got–you got no right to point fingers at me, and neither does philip. And if he really wants to know what happened between chloe and me last night, then tell him to man up and come and ask me himself, or he can go to chloe and ask her. Either way, his choice. I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Lucas: Why should philip ask you about anything? You’re just gonna lie to him like you just did to me.

Brady: Hey, you know what? Damn it. You–you and– you and philip, you can believe whatever you wanna believe. That’s fine. I’ll tell you what. You know what? Make his night. Go tell him to challenge me to a duel, pistols at dawn. Let’s do this.

Lucas: I never thought I’d say this, but you are one cold son of a bitch, aren’t you?

Brady: [Laughs] Get the hell out of here, man.

[Sighs]

Philip: Will you please calm down? Jake’s the one who brought carmine to salem. You and I didn’t even know about it.

Ava: Oh, you think that gabi is gonna let jake take the rap? She hates my guts. Damn, I-I-I don’t know why I agreed to help you. I don’t know what I was thinking.

Philip: I thought you had nerves of steel.

Ava: Rafe cannot find out that I am mixed up in what happened to abe carver.

Philip: So what do you want to do?

Ava: We gotta keep carmine quiet, which means you need to do what he wants.

Philip: I can’t hide him here. He came through the freaking front door. You think henderson is not gonna tell my father about my houseguest the mobster? I mean, you know how to disappear people. You get rid of carmine.

Ava: All right, I will.

Philip: Call me when it’s handled.

Ava: Wait, hey, hey, where you think you’re going?

Philip: [Exhales] You started this. You handle it. I’ve got places to go, people to see.

Chloe: So ej wants you to come to come to his house for dinner, huh?

Nicole: Well, he said he’d be there alone.

Chloe: So you’re just gonna show up at his doorstep? You’re not gonna call him?

Nicole: Well, it’s not like he’s gonna be cooking on his own. Besides, I–I know ej. He likes surprises.

Ej: I can’t hide you here in this house. If you want to stay, you’ll have to stay in the secret room.

Kristen: Well, it’s not exactly secret anymore.

Ej: You saw to that. So there’s no good hiding place for you here. Damn it, kristen. I thought you were smarter than to flee to your family home. I’m sure steve johnson will be knocking on the door anytime soon.

Kristen: What do you take me for, an amateur? I-I left a bogus trail to keep him busy for months. Oh, god. I did. I did. Have you ever read “the purloined letter”?

Ej: The what?

Kristen: Edgar allen poe. The guy hides a letter in plain sight, and it works out great. Nobody would ever think that I’d come back here.

Ej: I’ll organize some bedding. I assume you still know your way to the wine cellar?

Kristen: Right.

Ej: Where are you going?

Kristen: Brady’s, of course.

Ej: [Laughs] I’m beginning to think you’ve lost your grip. If brady sees you, he’ll turn you in.

Kristen: Brady is not going to see me. I didn’t come all the way back here without seeing my little girl. She’s all I have to live for.

Ej: Kristen, you’re making a big mistake.

Kristen: I just have to look at her. Just for a moment while she’s sleeping. No one will ever know I’m there.

Ej: [Sighs] I know I can’t change your mind.

Kristen: By george, I think he’s got it.

[Tense music]

As a dj, I know all about customization.

Gabi: I–I love jake. Are you kidding me? You can’t just order me to leave him.

Rafe: Look at the stats on the man. He’s in the mob.

Gabi: Look who’s talking, mister I’m shacked up with jake’s ex-mob boss.

Jake: Gabi, it’s not–

Gabi: No, no, no, he needs to know the truth.

Rafe: You’re gonna go off on ava again? You can save your breath, okay?

Gabi: Oh, no, you think that all she does is have sex with you and make lasagna? Do you know why abe got shot? How did philip get in touch with carmine? It was your girlfriend, ava. She gave him that information. She is in this up to her neck.

Ava: Oh, took you long enough.

Carmine: Took a little tour of the house on the way back. Where’s kiriakis?

Ava: Don’t worry about it. I’m gonna take care of your arrangements.

Carmine: You better.

Ava: Let’s get something straight. I may be out of the life, but I am still your boss. And you’re acting pretty cocky for just a hired goon. So remember, I can still, squash you like a little bug. Let’s get outta here.

Brady: That jackass still thinks I slept with chloe. I’ve got to warn her. Where’s my… where’s your phone, brady?

[Ominous music]

[Doorbell rings]

Ej: I’ve got it, harold.

Nicole: Surprise.

Ej: Nicole, I was just thinking about you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Paulina: Shouldn’t we have heard something by now? What’s taking so long?

Lani: I’m sure we will hear something soon.

Paulina: Yeah. Well. I can’t wait around here any longer. I’m going to get some answers.

Lani: No, wait. Auntie, wait. No, you’ll just get in the doctors’ way.

Paulina: So I’m supposed to stand around here not knowing if abe’s alive or–

Eli: Auntie paulina, this isn’t helping, okay? You gotta get it together.

Paulina: Right. Right. I know. I know. But I’m losing my mind worrying about abe.

Eli: You stay here with lani. I’ll see what I can find out.

Kayla: We’re losing too much blood into his chest cavity. Start two large-bore ivs. Type and cross four units. I’m gonna place a chest tube.

[Beeping] Ah, we’re losing him! We need to start cpr. If we can’t get him to the or, I need to keep the chest tube in here! We need that blood.

John: I know who you are, and I’m ready for you. And I swear to god I will battle you for my wife, and I will defeat you just like I did the last time.

Demon marlena: Aren’t you the clever one, john black? There’s nothing you can do about it.

John: No.

Demon marlena: Your precious marlena is mine now.

John: My dear god.

Demon marlena: You have confused me with the other guy. Let me clarify for you.

[Eerie music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

John: Leave her alone. Release her this instant!

Demon marlena: After all the time I put into possessing her? I think not.

John: Doc? Can you hear me? I’m here to help you, doc. I will never give up on you!

Demon marlena: One more step, and I will hurt her.

John: I won’t let you do that.

Demon marlena: How do you plan to stop me? Holy water? Really? You think I hadn’t prepared for that?

[Sizzling] Any better ideas?

Julie: I just heard. I just– paulina, I’m so sorry.

Paulina: Thank you.

Julie: I just left marlena at st. Luke’S. And we each lit a candle for abraham.

Lani: Thank you, julie. We–we really appreciate that.

Julie: Had to elbow my way through a bunch of reporters down there in the lobby.

Paulina: Bunch of damned vultures. That’s what they are.

Julie: No, no, just put that out of your mind, paulina, and you just focus on abe. Maybe by now, he’s past the worst of it.

Kayla: And again. Clear! Come on. Come on.

Nurse: Sir, you can’t be in here.

Eli: I’m salem pd. Kayla, what–what is going on?

Kayla: He’s gone.

[Flatline beeping]

[Mystical music]

Abe: Lexie?

Lexie: Hello, abe. I thought I was managing my moderate

John: In the name of the father, and of the son, and of the holy spirit–

Demon marlena: Knock it off! Your meaningless prayer is not gonna help marlena! And, in fact, it’s making me want to hurt her more.

John: Please don’t! Don’T.

Demon marlena: Then do as I say! All I’ve gotta do is snap my fingers, and I can stop marlena’s heart cold.

John: No, you won’t!

Demon marlena: Oh, yes. It’s what I would’ve done to doug if marlena hadn’t listened to reason.

John: What does that mean?

Demon marlena: It means we struck a bargain. I wouldn’t kill marlena’s friend, doug, if she would let me back in.

John: So that was it.

Demon marlena: Because she couldn’t bear to have her dear friend die. That’s just the kind of person she is. So we’re together again.

John: I don’t understand. It’s been over 25 years. Why would you come back for her now?

Julie: Paulina, you’re going to wear a groove in the linoleum. Why don’t you just sit with us for a while?

Paulina: All right. All right. For a while.

Julie: You know, I understand that you and abe are engaged. I haven’t had a chance to congratulate you yet.

Paulina: Thank you. We’re very happy. Or we were.

Julie: You know, abe has been a dear friend to my husband and me for such a long time, but that’s just one of the reasons we were so thrilled when eli married lani. They made it official we’re really family.

Paulina: Well, how long have you and your husband known abe?

Julie: Oh my, let me see. Well, he was still a cop. Actually, he was working on a case that involved my son, david, eli’s father. It just hit me. Abe has been a part of our lives for 40 years. And I know that he’s gonna be around for many, many more.

Eli: It’s not possible.

Kayla: I’m sorry, there’s no heartbeat.

Eli: So that’s it? There’s nothing else you can do? Kayla, please!

Kayla: It’s a long shot, but I’m going to keep going. I’m not gonna give up. Come on, abe! Come on!

Abe: Lexie. Oh, my god. It’s been ten years since I lost you, but not a day’s gone by that I–that I don’t think of you, that I miss you. You’re still in my heart and in theo’s, our precious son. He’s so kind, gentle, and when he smiles, there you are, my sweet lexie.

Lexie: You raised him well, abe.

Abe: Oh, no, no. I won’t take credit, not all of it. You were there, as I said, and you are in his heart and in his smile. You’re there always. Always, always. We do it every night.

Demon marlena: You know, the first time I took control of marlena, she was alone. She was in despair. Made my job so easy. But now–

John: But now, marlena is surrounded by people who really love her.

Demon marlena: Yes. A very effective shield. And when the two of you were so deeply in love, I’ve never seen her so strong as she became then. I know the dark days when she was under the spell of andre dimera. Wow, she was so distraught when she killed all those innocent civilians in salem, starting with abe, of course. But then it turned out that everybody was alive, even abe. But I guess abe isn’t so lucky now, is he?

Paulina: 40 years, that’s a long time to know somebody.

Julie: Well, time flies by, but I must tell you, abraham has not changed very much. He was always a wonderful man.

Paulina: I feel you. When I first set eyes on abraham, it was eight months ago, but I feel like I’ve known him forever.

Lani: Auntie, this is my father.

Paulina: So this is the famous abraham carver. The man who knocked up my sister. And if you’d have told me that I’d be engaged to him eight months later… I–I can’t–I can’t– I can’t lose him. I can’t lose him now.

Lani: Auntie, you’re not gonna lose him, and neither am I.

Paulina: Oh, well, it’s about time! Now, what did you find out? Is abraham gonna be all right?

[Flatline beeping]

Kayla: Come on, abe! Come back to us. Do you hear me? Come on! Come on.

Abe: Oh, just the other day, I was looking through an old photo album, and there we were, just the two of us. You know, 20 years ago, we were so young, so in love. And then– then there were three of us.

Lexie: You and me and our precious theo.

Abe: Yes. Yes. Theo. Theo had finally arrived. Look, I also know that I overreacted in dr. Bader’s office. But I just hate talking about our love life and our trying to conceive a child in just such cold, clinical terms.

Lexie: I know it’s not easy for you. But, honey, I really think we’ve found a way to make it work. Yeah.

Abe: Well, I tell you what, I am all for this way of making it work. Science and spontaneous passion, that’s an unbeatable combination, just like you and me.

Lexie: I want us to have a baby so much, abe. I just–no matter what we have to do, okay?

Abe: So do I. So do I. But even if we don’t, I still have you and me. And that’s enough for me. Come here. It took years, but it was so well worth the wait.

Lexie: I’m sorry about what happened at the hospital.

Abe: Ah, the only thing that matters is that you came home with me.

Lexie: Yeah.

Abe: Hey, you said you wanted to tell me something.

Lexie: Yeah. I decided to wait until we came here because the last time I was here– something happened today, and it happened after we decided to try again. I think it’s a sign, abe. No, no, no, it’s more than a sign. It’s a gift. I wanted so badly for it to happen that I let it come between us. And the moment that I was willing to just let it go, it happened!

Abe: Why don’t you come on and just tell me, will you?

Lexie: Honey, we’re having a baby!

Abe: And then, nine months later, there he was, our theo, our miracle. And you live on in him, my love, and so will we both. So will we both. I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Abe: You know, there was another photo album. There were pictures of us. And I saw, in those pictures, the sadness in our eyes. And it made me wish that I had been kinder, more compassionate. And I saw that, with some benefit of time and perspective, what kind of struggle you had, how much you had to overcome.

Lexie: Honey, I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Abe: How long ago did you know about the baby switch? Wow, so you still can’t tell the truth, can you? Don’t even–don’t–don’t answer ’cause it doesn’t matter what you say. I can’t believe you. You know, money may have bought silence from barb reiber. It’s not gonna buy you love, or happiness, or another child.

Lexie: Abe, I–

Abe: You said I didn’t put our family first, but you put yourself ahead of bo and hope, glen and barb, me, and most important, zack. You were willing to let zack and jt go through their whole lives and not know who their biological parents were, who love them and want them desperately because you were just so jealous, so selfish. And you were–you were willing to do–do more than lie. So where did that get you, huh? Where did that get us? I’m sick–I am sick when I thinking of what you did. I’m sicker still when I think of what I just did. Oh, my god–oh my god. We just talked about–we talked about forever–forever. When it should have been never. Difficult times, as there always are, but the hardest thing of all, for me, was losing you.

Eli: They’re still working on him. Kayla said it could be a while.

Paulina: Oh, I don’t have a good feeling about this.

Julie: You know, paulina, there’s a place right across the street that could give us all some comfort.

Paulina: Oh, where’s that?

Julie: St. Luke’s church. There’s not much we do for abraham here, but I know he could use our prayers.

Demon marlena: Marlena hated herself for being andre’s pawn. That’s when I thought I had my chance, but then it turned out that all those supposed victims of hers were alive, and she was blameless.

John: That’s right. And she and i got back together after that. Remember that, doc?

Demon marlena: There is no doc. There is only what I create.

John: I’ll never believe it.

Demon marlena: Well, then you’re a fool. I have waited and waited for years, and I finally got my chance. My old friend stefano dimera created a situation, and marlena believed that you had been killed by a hit-and-run driver, and she was distraught.

John: Until she found out that I was alive.

Demon marlena: Yes. And you found your way back together as you always do over and over and over. And then I found doug. He was perfect. Doug then became my target.

John: Oh, so you possessed him. He was the one that was doing all those things to julie. My god! When I think of all the times he tried to warn me about marlena.

Demon marlena: He did try to warn you, but you wouldn’t listen. But I was afraid at some point you might believe him. So I clocked julie over the head and I framed doug for it.

John: And that’s why he’s in bayview.

Demon marlena: I had marlena commit him there long-term. He can’t have anybody come to see him. He can’t even have his cute but annoying wife come to visit. So doug was the only person who knew about me, and he was taken care of. But now you know about me, and that’s a problem.

Lani: I have been putting off calling theo and brandon, but I don’t think I should wait anymore.

Eli: Come over here so we can talk.

Lani: I really hate having to break the news to theo. He’s so far away.

Eli: You want me to make the call?

Lani: No. Just don’t leave.

[Line trilling] Hi. Hey, theo, I am so sorry to wake you up in the middle of the night. Yeah. Theo, something happened. It’s dad.

Paulina: Oh. Damn it!

Julie: Slippery thing, isn’t it? Let me get that.

Paulina: Nice try. I’m usually the queen of together. I never fall apart.

Julie: Well, women like us always think we have to be the strong ones. But when something like this happens, it’s good to remember we’re only human.

Paulina: I hate being so helpless.

Julie: Yeah. I understand. The sanitarium where doug is, they– the doctors won’t let me see him.

Paulina: What? You’re his wife.

Julie: Well, they say he’s not himself. And they say he’s a danger to me.

Paulina: They say?

Julie: It’s killing me, paulina. I’m not there to hold him and tell him I’ll always love him.

Paulina: You want to get into that hospital? I know a lawyer. He can get anybody in anywhere.

Julie: Oh, honey, thank you. I’ll think about it.

Paulina: You do that.

Julie: You know, paulina, I believe– I believe that abe and doug feel that we’re with them. I mean, we don’t have to be in the same room for them to know how much we love them. They want to be with us just like we want to be with them. But until we can hold them, can we just be there for each other? I mean, we sort of get each other, don’t we?

Paulina: Yeah. You and me, we got the same chip.

Julie: [Laughs] Right.

Paulina: Thank you, my friend.

Julie: Oh, ohh.

Abe: You were so brave, selfless. With your big heart, you wanted to make it easier for me to lose you. And I wanted you to believe that you had succeeded. You really hadn’T. It’s getting a little chilly out here. You know what, I think I’m gonna run in and get us another blanket, okay? Lex? Come on, sweetheart. Just wake up. Lex? Lexie? Lexie? Lexie? Wake up. Wake up. Wake up, sweetheart. Oh, god. Oh, god. Oh, god! Oh, god! Oh, god! Oh, god. But now, my love, we’ll be together again.

Lexie: No, abe. We can’T.

Demon marlena: I knew it wouldn’t take you long to figure out there was something very wrong with marlena. After all, you’ve been through it before. But, in fairness, I have picked up some new techniques over the decades.

John: Well, your new techniques, they’re not gonna help you hold onto doc any more than your old ones did. I beat you once, and I’m gonna beat you again because the love that doc and i share is stronger than any bond you will ever have on her. And I’m gonna get my wife back. And I’m not gonna leave this church until I take her with me. On the outside, I looked fine.

Demon marlena: You’re wasting your time. Marlena has given herself to me completely. She is lost to you.

John: I’ll never believe that. Listen to me, doc! I know what you’re going through right now, and I’m here fighting for you. Don’t surrender!

Demon marlena: She can’t hear you! Don’t you know that?

Marlena: Yes, I can!

John: I love you, doc!

Marlena: I hear you, and I feel you. Your love is making me stronger. I’m–I’m trying, john.

John: Doc!

Demon marlena: Silence!

[Tense music]

Paulina: How’d your brother take the news?

Lani: He sounded all right. I could tell that he was scared. But he’s gonna get on the first flight from johannesburg.

Julie: Good. Did you reach brandon?

Lani: No. I had to leave a message.

Julie: Well, I hope he can make it too. It’s so important for abe to have his children around him.

Lani: Yeah.

Julie: Just a blessing that you’re here, lani. I hope you know how much your father loves you. Crazy about you.

Lani: He is the dad that I have always dreamed of. He and I were robbed of so much. This can’t be the end because I don’t know how I will stand it.

Abe: We can’t be together? I don’t want to leave you.

Lexie: I’ll be here, my darling, waiting. But it’s not your time yet. I think you know that.

Abe: Yes, I know it. I know it now. My children– my children need me and my grandchildren, my friends, paulina. I know I have to go back.

Lexie: And so you will, my love.

Abe: God bless you, lexie. I’ll be seeing you in my heart, and so will theo. I will be seeing you in his smile.

[Flatline beeping]

Kayla: Come on, come on.

Nurse: Dr. Johnson, we’ve been at this for a while. I think it’s time to call it.

Kayla: I know. Time of death–

[Heart monitor beeping] Oh, abe! Abe, can you hear me?

Nurse: We have a heartbeat!

Kayla: Oh, oh, abe. Facing expensive vitamin c creams with dull results?

Demon marlena: I have waited a lifetime for this.

Marlena: No, please. Don’t kill him. I won’t let you kill him!

Demon marlena: Ahh! All right, fine. I won’t kill him. At least not yet. He may be useful in some way. But I certainly can’t leave him here in this condition. Ugh.

Lani: Oh, hey, kayla, how is he? How’s my dad?

Kayla: Well, it was intense for a while, and he still needs to go to surgery.

Paulina: But?

Kayla: But I am very optimistic that he’s gonna pull through.

Paulina: Oh, ohh! Wonderful! Thank god! Oh!

Lani: Can we see him?

Kayla: Just for a short time, all right? I mean, he’s been through a major trauma, and he’s very weak.

Lani: I won’t stay long, okay? It’s just–thank you. Kayla, thank you. Thank you so much. Can my aunt come with me?

Paulina: I’ll be quiet as a mouse. I swear.

Kayla: Okay. This way.

Paulina: Oh!

Abe: Paulina.

Paulina: I’m right here, right here, and so is lani.

Abe: Lani–

Lani: Don’t talk. Don’t talk, dad. Opening your eyes is enough for me. You know, you gave everyone a real scare. But you’re gonna be okay.

Paulina: Thank you for fighting your way back to us. We love you so much.

Abe: I love you.

Lani: I love you, dad.

Abe: I love you.

Brooke: Wow! You’re here bright and early.

Donna: Oh. Uh yeah, just you know, got a lot of work. Figured I’d get a jump start.

Brooke: Eric’s not in yet?

Donna: No, um, must’ve had a big night. With quinn.

Quinn: Mmm… my gorgeous, sexy husband.

Hope: So, yesterday was a strange turn of events.

Finn: I’d say. Where do we even begin? It’s all I could think about last night.

Hope: Thank you for inviting me over because I have been dying to talk to you about this especially before i bring it up to liam.

Finn: Yeah, I haven’t mentioned anything to steffy either.

Hope: Yeah, I am still trying to process everything…

Finn: What the hell was that, hope? We went to il giardino to have a bite for lunch and run into deacon and my mother, the two of them are together?

Hope: So, do you think it’s true? I mean, my dad and sheila? Are they really a couple?

Sheila: Good morning, deacon. How’s that couch treating you, huh?

Deacon: Well, it’s a hell of a lot better than sleeping on the street. That’s for sure.

Sheila: You’re welcome.

Deacon: All right, don’t act like you’re letting me crash here because i don’t have any cash. We both know it’s so that I can sign on to your crazy scheme.

Sheila: You know what, I really thought that you wanted to be a part of hope and your granddaughter’s lives.

Deacon: I do. I just don’t have a hell of a lot to offer right now.

Sheila: You’re her only father and… and we both have rights. Finn wants to see me. I– I can see it in his eyes and I know that hope feels the same way about you.

Deacon: Okay. Fine. But that still doesn’t explain your little stunt yesterday. What the hell did you kiss me for and tell everyone that we’re in love?

Deacon: Just so we’re on the same page, here: The kiss, telling everyone that we’re in love– that’s all part of the master plan, right?

Sheila: Actually, I didn’t have a master plan so I improvised.

Deacon: By kissing me?

Sheila: Yes. Because there’s a bond between a parent and a child and i refuse to allow the forresters to stand in our way and before you know it, finn and hope, they won’t allow it either. They were kissing. Your dad and my birth mother going at it right in the middle of the restaurant.

Hope: “Well, the heart wants what it wants.”

Finn: Well, this whole situation is just bizarre.

Hope: Yeah, I didn’t even know they really knew each other and suddenly they’re in love?

Finn: Do we buy it? I mean, do we believe them?

Brooke: Why do you think they had a big night?

Donna: Oh, I don’t know. It’s just that eric was in such a good mood yesterday and in fact, I haven’t seen him that upbeat in a really long time.

Ah, thank you for putting a smile on his face. Although, I’m sure it went away the minute he went home to his dreadful wife.

Donna: Who knows? Maybe they, uh, were able to reconnect. By the way, it was really good to see him so happy.

Quinn: Don’t be sad.

Eric: I was so hoping that last night would be about us.

Quinn: Look. But didn’t you see how happy it made me that you were so excited to even try again?

Eric: Yeah, I did.

Quinn: Yeah–

[Knocking]

Shauna: Hi. Sorry, the door was unlocked.

Eric: It’s alright, shauna. Come in. It’s always good to see you. Look, I was– uh, going to the office anyway. I have stuff to do. I’ll see ya later, okay?

Quinn: Okay. Alright. Have a good day.

Eric: Okay. Bye.

Shauna: Bye. Well? How’d it go last night?

Quinn: Well, I thought we were gonna have a breakthrough. But nothing’s changed. Eric still can’t be intimate.

Hope: Your mom and my dad dating…

Finn: You’re having major doubts.

Hope: Yes! Because I know them and their histories.

Finn: So you think they’re playing us, making this all up.

Hope: I think it’s too random.

Finn: I mean, I don’t disagree. But how do we explain the fact that they were already at il giardino when we got there? There’s no way they could have known that we were coming. We only decided to go at the last minute.

Hope: Okay, that, I can’t explain. Uh… maybe it was just a coincidence?

Finn: I know that we need to tread carefully. And we can’t take their word at face value. But I’d like to believe that sheila and deacon are being truthful.

Deacon: You wanna explain to me why we’re acting like we’re in a romance novel, here?

Sheila: How many times do I have to tell you? We are better together.

Deacon: Sheila, together you and I, we’re like a– a toxic waste dump.

Sheila: You are never gonna get through to her on your own.

Deacon: I’ll take my chances.

Sheila: Oh really, what with ridge and brooke denying access and then there is liam… hope’s gatekeeper?

Deacon: My daughter has a mind of her own.

Sheila: Oh, does she? So she’s been calling you trying set up meetings with you, I’m sure or does she still hang up the phone every time you call? Deacon. She’s not doing this because she wants to, it’s that family that is doing everything in their power to keep you away from her!

Deacon: Okay, okay, okay– I get it, genius, I understand that. What I don’t understand is why you kissed me.

Sheila: Didn’t you see what I saw? My son and your daughter. Imagine if they were involved. Imagine if they were together!

Shauna: Sounds like things could’ve gone better. I’m sorry.

Quinn: Ugh, I actually had my hopes up. Eric did too, you know? I mean, he was raring to go. And then it just fizzled out.

Shauna: There’s always tonight. And tomorrow night. It’ll happen.

Quinn: I hope so. Just seeing how much eric wanted me… and then seeing his disappointment.

Shauna: We all want to feel desired. And eric clearly was hot to trot for you last night.

Quinn: I gotta find out what that man ate for lunch because he was raring to go.

Shauna: I’m glad you’re not giving up.

Quinn: I’m never gonna give up on eric or our marriage. C’mon, I’ve learned that lesson, right? I mean. I’m never gonna take it for granted again. What we share is so remarkable. We have jumped through hoop after hoop after hoop and if we can’t make it through this last hoop– me having an affair with carter…

Shauna: And you did make it through.

Quinn: Yes, I know, and it actually recommitted us to each other even more. Much to his family’s dismay.

Shauna: Hmpf.

Quinn: Especially brooke who’s always out to undermine my marriage.

Eric: Hey.

Brooke: Good morning, eric.

Eric: Morning, brooke.

Brooke: Did you see donna at her desk?

Eric: No, I didn’T. She wasn’t there.

Brooke: Oh… well, she came in early, I think hoping to see you. She also said that you and quinn may have had a big night.

Eric: She said that?

Brooke: Eric, I know these last few months have been difficult for you… dealing with your issue. I’m sure it’s very frustrating.

Eric: Yes, it has been.

Brooke: Eric, I’m sorry. I hate that you’re faced with this kind of challenge. But I’m sure that you’ll overcome it, somehow. Did you ever stop to think that maybe it’s not about you? I’m not entirely convinced that there’s anything wrong with you.

Eric: If only that were the case. What if it isn’t you? What if it’s quinn?

Deacon: Whatever demented thoughts you’ve got going on in that head of yours…

Sheila: Oh, would you just try to imagine it, deacon?

Deacon: Imagine hope and finn, together?

Sheila: Yes! Yes, because if they were a pair, we’d get to see our kids and hold those grandbabies as much as we wanted to!

Deacon: Alright, you are talking crazy, now.

Sheila: Maybe. But maybe not. Because when steffy, and liam, and brooke, and the rest of the forresters find out about our little “love affair”… they’re going to be up in arms.

Deacon: Sheila, that is the last thing that I need. I’m not looking to cause any more problems for hope.

Sheila: No, that’s exactly what you need to do. They want to see us. They want to be a part of their parent’s lives. But they’re being forbidden to see us! They’re being shamed for wanting to.

Deacon: Did you see what I saw at il giardino? ‘Cause they didn’t seem real receptive to our new found love. I mean, they weren’t all warm and fuzzy.

They are not going to abandon us. They are going to defend us. And when they do, it’s going to cause trouble in their marriages to steffy and liam. Deacon, who knows? My son and your daughter– they could end up looking at each other with a fresh pair of eyes.

Finn: I’m not naive. I know I didn’t live all the history with my birth mom. And I’ve only heard bits and pieces about your dad. But staging a lunch yesterday? And then fabricating their relationship? For what? Like, how would they benefit from that?

Hope: I mean, obviously I want to believe my father. We were making really good headway when he was in jail. I was writing him all those letters.

Finn: You’re the only family that deacon has. Would he really jeopardize all of this progress by lying about an affair? I mean, I really hope not. But uh, I guess time will tell.

Hope: Yeah, and meanwhile, liam and steffy both don’t want us talking to our parents. I mean… do we tell them what we saw yesterday? And if so, how will they react?

Brooke: I blame quinn.

Eric: Well, that’s– that’s ridiculous. Brooke–

Brooke: Eric. Look. I don’t mean to make you feel uncomfortable and I know this is a very sensitive subject but I know you. And for as long as I’ve known you, you’ve been an extremely passionate man. And now you’re with quinn and suddenly there’s no more passion there? It just doesn’t make sense.

Eric: Well, it doesn’t make sense to blame quinn for my physical condition.

Brooke: Okay, well maybe it’s emotional. Maybe you have a mental block? I’m sure you enjoy quinn’s companionship, but I don’t think you really love her. I mean, how can you after all of the things that she’s done to you? There’s a lot of people out there who love you and adore you, and nobody more than my sister. She told me about her feelings for you. She told me that she told you. I really think that she could bring happiness and joy and passion back into your life. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Hope: Liam and I promised that we wouldn’t keep secrets from each other. Especially after…

Finn: No, same. And uh, I feel like I– I owe it to steffy to tell her about our parents.

Hope: Besides, it’s not like we’re doing anything wrong. We didn’t know they were going to be at the restaurant when we just happened to be there and I’m sorry but, I had to confront them.

Finn: No, yeah, totally. It’s just, I’ve already asked you not to mention sheila’s most recent text. I don’t want to make you feel obligated about keeping this quiet too.

Hope: Look, I’m more… I’m more so worried about how our families are going to react. I mean, those two, they’re– they’re already explosive topics just on their own…

Finn: It’s best, I think for everyone if it comes directly from us.

Hope: I agree. But the real question is… are sheila and deacon being honest?

Deacon: You’re certifiable.

Sheila: Oh, come on. Why is that such an outrageous idea?

Deacon: My daughter and your son.

Sheila: I mean, look– look at how cute they were together, why not?

Deacon: For one thing, they’re already married. To other people!

Sheila: So what?

Deacon: So what? Sheila, they’ve got families! They’ve got– they’ve got children.

Sheila: They are beautiful together. It just– just–

Deacon: “They’re beautiful together?” Are you off your rocker? Finn has a new born child at home. My daughter’s not a homewrecker. She’s not a cheater. She’s got morals.

Sheila: Well, that makes one of you.

Deacon: Listen to me, if you think that hope is gonna leave her husband, then you’re crazy if that’s what you’re hinting at.

Sheila: I am saying think of the possibilities. If they– if they found a path to one another, that would just pave the way for us.

Deacon: See, this is the problem. All you do is think of you, yourself, and then you again.

Sheila: No. I don’t! I’m not saying this is gonna happen overnight. It’s not gonna be easy. But we have to work together! We have to stick together.

Quinn: Those logan women are not worth my time.

Shauna: Exactly. Focus on what happened last night. Or almost happened. That there’s still real potential there.

Quinn: You’re right. You’re right. I don’t know what got into eric and made him believe that he could make love to me again. But I am grateful for it.

Donna: I know you mean well, sis, but I don’t want to put eric on the spot.

Brooke: Okay. I understand. I just want you both to be happy. And we both know how much donna loves you. So just, open yourself up to her. Doesn’t hurt to give it a chance.

Donna: Okay. I– I meant what I said. I never want you to feel pressured.

Eric: So, you were here early. You were um, brooke said you were waiting for me? You wanted to see me?

Donna: Oh, you were on my mind and, you know, I was too busy thinking about what might be happening with you and quinn to get much sleep.

Eric: Yeah. I was thinking about you last night, too.

Donna: Oh, wait. You didn’t tell quinn about, you know, what– our– our breakthrough here?

Eric: No.

Donna: Good. Okay, well, you know. She must have been really overjoyed last night

Eric: You always want what’s best for me, don’t you? I always feel so supported and understood by you. Thank you.

Donna: Well, you’re my honey bear–

Eric: Yes, I am–

Donna: I am always gonna have your back.

Eric: And I’ll always have yours, too. You’re the bright star in my dark skies, these days. Look, I wish I had better news for you but it didn’t really happen with quinn last night. I did not have the breakthrough with my wife that I wanted. I only had that with you, with you, donna.

Donna: Reminds me of better times. Times with you.

Eric: Yeah, yeah.

Donna: Yeah. Remember?

Eric: Yeah, I remember. Here, may I?

Donna: Certainly.

Eric: Nice.

Donna: You’re remembering.

Eric: Yeah, I am. Donna, I’m more than remembering.

Quinn: There’s been no change in eric’s condition. I was hoping there’d be a change, but…

Shauna: I’m so sorry.

Quinn: I’m not complaining. I’d happily be with eric no matter what.

Shauna: It’s obvious you love him. But what about you and carter and that whole arrangement? How are you feeling about him?

Brooke: Quinn is more devious than ever. She’s not to be trusted on any level.

Pam: Quinn’s motives have always been questionable.

Charlie: Yeah, I don’t think I could say we ever really trusted her.

Brooke: Keep that guard up.&

Pam: Has something happened?

Brooke: You don’t betray and disrespect the person that you love.

Pam: I hate hearing that. Eric deserves so much better.

Brooke: Yeah. Preaching to the choir.

Pam: Well, it could go both ways, though.

Brooke: What do you mean?

Pam: Look, I know that eric did love quinn once upon a time. But after everything that she’s done like over all the years, do we even know how eric really feels about her now?

Hope: I can’t believe what I’m hearing, let alone seeing.

Deacon: Trust me, I get it. It’s shocking.

Sheila: Actually a wonderful surprise.

Hope: You and my father in love.

Sheila: Well, the heart wants what the heart wants.

Hope: Aww.

Well, I am not buying this, not even for a second.

Finn: I ju– I agree. This is beyond shocking. Your father and my birth mother. This is just… this is impossible.

Hope: That’s what I’m saying.

Finn: But why would they lie about it?

Hope: Because it’s sheila.

Sheila: We’re here. And it’s not a lie. I mean, no one was more surprised about this than we were. Falling in love was not an option– certainly not with deacon. But I got to know him. I got to know him through his letters. And just as I saw deacon, he saw me. And here we are.

Hope: Just like that.

Sheila: Who’s got time to waste. Right, sweetheart?

Deacon: Ah… can’t argue with that, right? It just happened fast.

Quinn: You’re my best friend, I’m not going to lie to you. Despite everything, of course I still think about carter, how can I not?

Shauna: You two fell hard for each other.

Quinn: I love carter, and I always will but… we can’t be together anymore. I’m committed to my husband.

Shauna: And I respect that so much, but it’s gotta be so difficult for you knowing that your husband may never be able to make love to you again.

Eric: Donna, I can’t believe what’s happened.

Donna: Is it–

Eric: This… I have felt something that I thought I was never gonna feel in my life again.

Donna: What a waste that would’ve been.

Eric: Yeah. I can’t tell you how much this means to me. I can’T… would you mind, um, if i just held you for a minute?

Donna: Are you kidding? Yes, yes! Oh my god, I’ve been waiting for this for so long.

[]

Hope: What is it with you, sheila? First, out of, I don’t know, every single woman in the entire world, you just turn out to be finn’s birth mother, you know, steffy forrester’s husband. Now you’re saying that you became prison pen pals with my dad and just happened to fall in love?

Sheila: I know! I know. It sounds crazy! But it’s just, those little things– special like finn and deacon, you know, that’s what makes life exciting and precious. You know, you never know what’s going to be around that next corner for you. You two should really take a lesson here. When circumstances get really difficult, you hang in there.

Deacon: Mm-hm.

Sheila: ‘Cause life can change on a dime.

Hope: Wow, so this is not only a new and improved sheila, it’s optimistic sheila too.

Sheila: Well, why shouldn’t it be with everything that I’ve been given, hope? After all these years, I found my son. And he gave me a beautiful grandchild that I would really love to see. Again. And… I found love.

Brooke: I knew quinn would be a disaster for eric from the start. All her proclamations of so-called love was… was fake. She doesn’t even know the meaning of the word.

Charlie: You know, I’m not sure that’s entirely true. Never mind.

Brooke: No, go ahead, charlie. Say what you’re thinking.

Charlie: You know, i think that quinn actually loves eric in her own unique way. And come on, you can’t doubt her love for wyatt. Come on!

Pam: All right, well that may be true enough.

Brooke: Yeah, okay. I’ll give you wyatt, that’s her son. But, what about the man that she’s supposed to love? You don’t just do these things that she did to him. And I told you, you wouldn’t believe it. Your jaw would drop to the floor.

Pam: Yeah, well, I don’t think anything that she did would surprise me. I have seen first hand just how deceptive she can be. Quinn uses people.

Brooke: I don’t know what binds them together. But it’s not love. It can’t be.

Quinn: There’s so much more between me and eric than just the physical. I mean, we talk, and we laugh, and we dance. We… he plays the piano for me.

Shauna: That’s lovely. Companionship is the glue to hold a marriage together. You can’t deny the importance of an active sex life.

Quinn: If I have to live without it– if that’s the cost of being with the man I love– so be it.

Shauna: Oh, god, you’re so grown up. Who are you and what have you done with quinn?

Quinn: You know, happens to the best of us. Look, come oN. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying I’m resigned to a life of just holding my husband’s hand. And who knows? Things can turn around for us as quickly as it changed in the first place. Maybe that change’ll happen as early as tonight.

Eric: What a wonderful day this is for me and my life.

Donna: I am so thrilled for you.

Eric: I thought this was over, I thought this was… I thought this was never going to happen again after everything we’ve tried, and nothing has worked for me. And now this. I mean, for me to feel this way again so… so vital and so alive.

Donna: And sexy. Don’t forget about sexy. You are so sexy. And always wills be.

Eric: Yes.

Donna: Yes.

Eric: Donna, the way you look at me… the way you look at me with such affection in your eyes. Such sweetness. Never judging.

Donna: If I helped in any way at all, it warms my heart.

Eric: It’s changed my life now. It’s changed my life. I have to get home and tell my wife.

Donna: Quinn’s a lucky lady. You tell her I said so, okay?

Eric: I will.

Donna: Okay. Thank you, donna.

Donna: Anything for my honey bear.

Why hide your skin if dupixent Could this be true?

Hope: No.

Finn: No.

Sheila: Oh, come on, deacon. He’s so smart, and he’s got that dashing part of him and that sly sense of humor. And I gotta tell you, he’s not too hard on the eyes.

Hope: Okay, I’m gonna be sick. Dad, really?

Deacon: I can’t even speak. I mean, it was shocking to me too.

Sheila: That’s kind of the way it is. Right? I mean, love doesn’t announce itself. It just kind of slips through the side window when you least expect it. And then there we are. There we are. Right? I’m actually very glad that we ran into the two of you. You need to know that your parents found one another. Can’t you just be happy for us? Your father and I, we served our time, we paid our debt to society. Now we have a chance at– at a really good life. A chance to make up for the wrong that we did. We just want an opportunity to show our families that we deserve love and the opportunity to be with our children. Right baby?

Deacon: Yeah. Mm-hm.

Brooke: Hey. We heard eric left a little while ago.

Donna: Yep. Mm-hm.

Brooke: “Yep?” That’s it? That’s all you’re gonna give me? I mean, were you able to be honest with him about your feelings for him?

Donna: You would be proud.

Brooke: So, you got through to him, you made an impact.

Donna: In a way, yeah.

Brooke: That’s terrific!

Donna: Don’t get too exited. I mean, we had A… a wonderful moment, but then he went home to his wife. As he should.

Brooke: That’s it?

Donna: Afraid so.

Brooke: Uh, I was hoping eric would come to his senses and realize that you’re the woman he should be with.

Donna: Yeah, well, didn’t work out that way.

Brooke: I think he’s confused between commitment versus true love.

Donna: I couldn’t say, but if quinn is who he wants to be with, then I’m happy for him.

Brooke: I know you too well. You are holding something back.

Donna: Brooke, I don’T… I don’t want to get into all the details.

Brooke: Details? Donna, oh my gosh, tell me. What is it?

Eric: Quinn? Quinn, where are you?

Quinn: I’m upstairs but I’m coming down.

Eric: Oh, wait, wait. Stop right there.

Quinn: And do what?

Eric: Just let me take a nice long look at you. Oh! Beautiful.

Quinn: Okay, can I come down now?

Eric: Yeah, come on down. Come here. Yeah.

[Sighing]

Quinn: I um… I may be wrong, but I’m sensing a little shift, right?

Eric: You know me so well.

Quinn: Of course I do, you’re my husband. I’m more aware of you than anyone. What happened?

Eric: I had the most amazing day. And I couldn’t wait to get home to you.

Quinn: Oh, well it’s my favorite part of the day, our end of the day wrap up. Let’s make some martinis, we’ll get some dinner, and you can tell me all about–

Eric: No, not interested in dinner.

Quinn: Mm! Wow.

Eric: Why don’t we, uh… why don’t we take this upstairs to the bedroom?

Quinn: Really?

Eric: Yeah.

Quinn: Seriously?

Eric: Seriously. Why don’t you, um, why don’t you show me the way.

Quinn: I know the way.

Eric: Do you?

Quinn: Yeah. Yeah. It’s right here. Come on.

Eric: Where do we go? Where is it? Show me. Show me.

Who’s on it with jardiance?

Brooke: You have to tell me what happened between you and eric.

Donna: I– I didn’t say anything did!

Brooke: Well, I can see it all over your face. Now, don’t forget. I’m the one who told you to come clean about your feelings for him. So, if anything came up, you should tell me. Not that I wanna be a busy body. I don’t, it’s just I want you both to be happy. And preferably together.

Donna: Oh my gosh, stop. Okay, fine. I will tell you. Uh! I took your advice, all right? And I, um, told him how I felt, like you said. And I said that I missed him and us and I went so far as to say that he was the love of my life.

Brooke: Oh!

Donna: Yeah.

Brooke: Good for you.

Donna: And then I got misty and I started looking for a tissue in my purse, and right there where you couldn’t miss was… um, a honey bear bottle.

Brooke: He must’ve thought it was charming.

Donna: Well, yeah, and actually he was amazed because I admitted I have a stash in my drawer to remind me of the times that used to be.

Brooke: Aw. Ah… well, it sounds like you opened up. So, how did he react?

Donna: Um… I’m gonna keep that to myself, okay? Um, we had a, um, private exchange and then he went back to his wife. But, if I helped in any way at all, I’m happy.

Brooke: You know if you really wanna be with eric, you’re gonna have to be a little more assertive. I know if it was me, I would do anything to get quinn out of his life.

Donna: I’ve said it before, I just want eric to be happy, okay?

Brooke: Happy with quinn? He would have a much more meaningful and special life with you.

> Donna: But the fact remains. He’s a married man.

Quinn: I am so glad that you wanted to skip dinner and go straight to the bedroom. But–

Eric: But?

Quinn: I have to ask, what inspired this sudden change?

Eric: I told you I had this, uh… I had this great day.

Quinn: Creatively?

Eric: No. Personally.

Quinn: Mm…

Eric: Yeah. I haven’t felt this confident in a very, very long time. I think the old… the old eric is back and I am so glad to see him.

Quinn: Oh, I am so glad to see him too.

Eric: You’ve been so patient with me.

Quinn: ‘Cause I love you, eric. I have been waiting for you to kiss me like that for so long. To feel your passion for me for so long. I want you to make love to me, eric.

Sharon: Noah! Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!

Noah: Hi, mom.

Sharon: Oh, I’m so shocked! I thought you were in london.

Noah: Eh.

Nick: Well, noah asked me at the last minute if we could switch things up.

Noah: And dad was cool enough to say yes.

Nick: So, we stopped by his flat. He grabbed some of his stuff, and here we are.

Sharon: Well, that almost sounds like you’re planning to stay for a while.

Noah: Yeah, I just needed a break from the whole london scene. Yeah, I’ve been wanting to visit home for a while, anyway.

Sharon: Well, this is such a great surprise. You know what? I’m gonna take the whole day off so I can hear all about what’s going on with you.

Noah: That’d be great.

[ Laughs ]

Sharon: This is an amazing surprise.

Mariah: Oh, my gosh! Hey.

Tessa: [ Laughs ]

Mariah: Good morning. Look who’s awake.

Tessa: Oh! What year is it?

[ Both laugh ]

Mariah: Oh, you needed the rest. And thank you for my gift.

Tessa: I’m glad you liked it.

Mariah: I do. It’s very…very italian, very cute, kitschy.

Tessa: [ Laughs ]

Mariah: I love it.

Tessa: Mm. So, um… you barely spoke when I got home. I fell back asleep, so I…

Mariah: Yeah. We have a lot to talk about.

Ashley: I can’t believe what a big boy you are. You’re getting so big.

Abby: And look at his little eyelashes. Aren’t they perfect?

Ashley: And that sweet smile.

Abby: Mm-hmm. Dominic is an angel. And he’s a pretty good sleeper, too.

Ashley: You were not. I remember when you were just born, I just wanted to take you out and show you off. But every time I left the house, you would just scream and scream.

Abby: Oh, no!

[ Both laugh ]

Ashley: It’s true. But I’d be around all these mothers that were bragging about how easy their babies were, and I would just want to punch them.

Abby: [ Laughs ]

Ashley: You are a lucky baby. You got victor, who’s so smitten with you, and I know brad would be, too.

Abby: Mm.

Ashley: How are things going? Are you holding up okay?

Abby: I’m not gonna lie. The past few days have been rough, not just because I’m missing chance, but because he’s missing everything. I mean, all of the changes that dominic’s going through, it’s not fair to chance, and it’s not fair to me, and it is certainly not fair to our son.

Victoria: Well, I think that’s it for the merger.

Ashland: We’ve got through the whole list?

Victoria: Yes, legal, finance. I think that’s everything. Next, we have…

Ashland: P.R. And media, which interviews to grant.

Victoria: And which ones to avoid, or, at least, postpone. I got some notes from debra so that we can prioritize.

Ashland: Are we handling them together, or divide and conquer?

Victoria: That depends on the outlet and which writers they assign.

Ashland: You know, after all my years in business, I am still so surprised at how quickly things can pile up when one decides to do something crazy.

Victoria: You mean like get married? Are you having any regrets about that?

Ashland: Absolutely not… although I certainly have given you some reasons.

Lily: I swear, flying wears me out.

Billy: I know what you mean.

Lily: No, you don’T. Look at you. You’re wired. Are you upset that you deleted the video gaines sent, about ashland building his empire with stolen money? You did delete it, right?

Billy: Lily, you saw me do it.

Lily: Okay, I’m just checking.

Billy: No, I have accepted the fact that that’s victoria wants. I won’t be the one to reveal to the world who her new husband really is.

Lily: But…

Billy: But I am surprised that gaines didn’t, after he said he was going to, and it makes me wonder why.

Lily: Well, I mean, your guess is as good as mine.

Billy: You know what? Right now, it doesn’t even matter. Victor and adam are our real threat, and that is what we need to be focused on right now.

Lily: I mean, I will say i did find it kind of odd when you told me how blatant victor was by getting in your face.

Billy: Why? What do you mean by that?

Lily: Well, I’m just wondering if maybe he did it to unnerve you. And clearly it’s worked. – Oh…oh. – What’s going on?

Abby: I can’t even send chance a message — no photos, no videos. I don’t know if he’s in the states. I mean, he could be on another continent for all I know. It’s maddening.

Ashley: Honey, he would be here if he could be. And I’m sure that he’s just as tired of this as you are and misses you just as much.

Abby: Everyone close to me is trying to stay positive. They think that’s gonna make me feel better. And I am trying to look for the silver lining. But, mom, it keeps getting harder and harder. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful.

Ashley: You don’T. You sound frustrated and upset.

Abby: This assignment has gone on much longer than anyone anticipated, with no news, no end in sight. I don’t even know what this mission entails or how much danger my husband is in. And I’m his wife.

Ashley: I hope you know that there are so many people that would drop everything in a moment’s notice if you ever needed them — father, me, jack, traci, tessa and devon and mariah. By the way, how’s mariah doing? Is she feeling any stronger?

Abby: She stopped by earlier. She seemed to be doing better, much more in control.

Ashley: That’s good — a little progress.

Abby: When she moved out, i was really worried about her. But I think she did the right thing. She got some distance, and she took some time to process everything that she’s been through.

Ashley: Were you nervous at all about her being around the baby, after she broke down after the christening?

Abby: Yes, at first, not out of fear for dominic’s sake but more out of concern for mariah and how she would handle things emotionally.

Mariah: So much has changed since you left for italy. And I have done a lot of soul-searching.

Tessa: I’m listening.

Mariah: I see now how unfair it was to make these unilateral decisions about our future, that it would put a strain on our relationship. Springing the idea of having a baby right away, expecting you to get pregnant, when we’ve barely even discussed the possibility of having a kid one day. I-I just don’t know what I was thinking.

Tessa: I mean, you were traumatized and confused. You were dealing with a lot of emotional pain in the best way that you knew how.

Mariah: Thanks, but… that’s really no excuse. It was selfish and totally misguided, and I feel awful about it.

Tessa: Well, I really wish you wouldn’T.

Mariah: Well, I do. So, I am so, so incredibly sorry. Nothing matters more than what we’ve built.

Tessa: That’s how I feel, too. When you asked me to cancel my trip so that I could stay with you —

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] Don’t remind me — another thing that I’m cringing about.

Tessa: No, don’T. You know, honestly, I probably should have bowed out.

Mariah: No! No, absolutely not, tessa.

Tessa: You have been through so much. You were struggling. You weren’t ready for an event like that. And you needed me. Frankly, I spent most of my time in tuscany just worried about how I had handled things. I was worried that I had ruined the best thing that I had ever had. I was worried that I pushed you away and that when I came back, you were gonna tell me that we were better off apart.

Mariah: I would never do that.

Billy: I think you’re right. This isn’t victor’s regular M.O. He doesn’t show his hand like this. He’s all about the icy stare, leaving your imagination to make the worst of it.

Lily: Yeah, I mean, the few times that we’ve clashed, that’s been my experience.

Billy: It reminds me of a moment that I had with adam at the newman media launch. He looked me in the eye and said, “if or when newman media comes after chanccomm, you will never see it coming.”

Lily: Yeah, that sounds more like it.

Billy: Which makes it even more peculiar that in tuscany, i overheard victor telling adam to devise a strategy. Victor wants us to know that he’s coming.

Lily: Well, maybe he wants to warn us so that we can prepare and make it a fair fight.

Billy: Why would he do that?

Lily: I don’t know. I mean, you’re the victor-whisperer.

Billy: I think you’re right. Maybe he wants to get inside my head, throw us off our game, hoping we make a mistake, and it leaves us vulnerable.

Lily: Or maybe he wants us to be so focused on an attack against the company as a way to distract us. Still fresh

Victoria: I have zero regrets — none. And you know what? I don’t think I could love you more if I tried. I am extremely happy that you’re my husband and my business partner. Have I made myself clear?

Ashland: Crystal.

Victoria: Good. And I don’t want to hear the names bobby defranco or camilla rhodes or jesse gaines ever again. That’s in the past, and all i care about is our future.

[ Sighs ] And all I want you to do is focus on fighting this cancer. That’s it.

Ashland: You will be amazed at how much I’ll handle for you.

Nick: I haven’t been to the palazzo since I was in boarding school.

Noah: That long ago? WoW.

[ All laugh ]

Sharon: Has it changed much?

Nick: Uh, you know, they’ve updated some things. The grounds are certainly a lot more lush. The trees have really grown.

Noah: Yeah, the house isn’t too shabby, either.

Sharon: Wow! How many rooms does it have?

Noah: I think you can get lost if you’re not paying attention. They got this beautiful outdoor terrace, which is heated. So, it’s perfect for fall nights. And the view? The view, it won’t quit. It was probably my favorite part of the whole place.

Sharon: Well, it sounds very elegant and romantic. I’m sure you had a nice time experiencing it all with phyllis.

Nick: Yeah, it was cool.

Sharon: I saw some drama online about victoria’s wedding dress?

Noah: You know it wouldn’t be a newman wedding without a little bit of drama, right?

Nick: Get this. Victoria wore a dress that was designed by sally spectra.

Sharon: What? You are kidding me.

Nick: Not kidding.

Sharon: That really surprises me.

Nick: It surprised us all.

Sharon: Well, anyway, I saw some beautiful photos of victoria. She looked radiant and very much in love.

Nick: She definitely did.

Sharon: So, tell me about you. What’s going on with your life? Is there some reason why you wouldn’t want to go back to london?

Noah: Well, what would give you that idea?

Sharon: You may be living an ocean away, but you’re still my son, and I know you. This sudden decision to leave london wasn’t really so sudden, was it?

Noah: [ Sighs ]

Nick: I mean, now that you mention it, you talked very little about yourself in tuscany.

Noah: I was just trying to be a good son who was concerned about his dad.

Nick: Yeah, I get it, but i don’t want you to feel like you can’t tell us what’s going on with you.

Sharon: Yeah, I’m so glad you came to visit. And I don’t want to overstep, but I hope you feel like you can talk to us still about whatever.

Noah: Well, lately I’ve been thinking about where I’m at in life, taking stock, and I just don’t want to get stuck in a rut in london. And it’s starting to feel like that might be happening. So…

Sharon: Really? Because the way you’ve always talked about it, it sounded so exciting and fulfilling. You talked about your friends and other artists and how much attention your work was getting.

Noah: Well, what can I say, mom? Every once in a while, it’s time for a change.

Mariah: It has been torture being away from you.

Tessa: Ugh! For me, too.

Mariah: I am so sorry that my idea of having a baby right away scared you. I know it must have seemed very, very impulsive. It was impulsive. And it must have seemed like i was trying to manufacture this perfect life so that I wouldn’t have to deal with what I was going through. But I realize that that is exactly what I need to be doing. Being abducted while pregnant and all of the things that I’ve been burying inside since this happened, it’S… it’s affected me in ways I’M… I’m just beginning to deal with.

Tessa: Hey, don’t be too hard on yourself. It takes a lot of time to process something so traumatic.

Mariah: Right. And I know that I have to manage these maternal feelings towards dominic, but I’m working on it. You know? I mean, I get through it. I went to see the baby earlier.

Tessa: You did?

Mariah: Yeah, that’s where — that’s where I was when you got back.

Tessa: How’d it go?

Mariah: It’s still challenging. But after I left, I felt better, and abby and I had a great conversation. And it made me realize that cutting all ties is not the way to go about this. It really just makes me miss that baby more. So, I’m going with our original plan. You know, I’m gonna be as much a part of the baby’s life as abby will let me. And if anything gets too overwhelming, I know you’ll be by my side.

Tessa: Always. Everything you are saying is so smart and strong. And I feel like I’m falling in love with you all over again.

Abby: Don’t you listen to all those stories grandma’s telling you about mommy being a cranky baby.

Ashley: [ Laughs ] Are you kidding? It was so worth it. Look at you.

Abby: Mm.

Ashley: I’m so proud.

Abby: Isn’t she sweet? Shh-shh! Oh, my baby boy.

[ Telephone ringing ] Excuse me. It’s christine. Christine, hi. What’s up? Oh, my god! Yeah, yeah, that’s great. No, I’m home. I’ll hang around here. Yeah, I’ll see you soon.

Ashley: What’d she say?

Abby: She has news about chance.

Mariah: I can honestly stay like this forever.

Tessa: Yeah. I mean, we’ll definitely need stamina, which will require, you know, sustenance.

Mariah: Oh, my god, tessa, you haven’t eaten. You must be starving! Why didn’t you say anything?

Tessa: I mean, I’m willing to try and live on love a little longer.

Mariah: You know we can have both, right?

Tessa: You know what I’m totally craving?

Mariah: Tell me.

Tessa: A big, messy, ropa vieja sandwich from society.

Mariah: Your wish is my command. I will call and pick it up.

Tessa: No. You know what? Let’s go out. Let’s celebrate this, us.

Abby: We’re gonna get some news about daddy. Can you believe it? I can hardly wait. Why do you think christine wants to tell me the news in person?

Ashley: I’m not sure. Could be a lot of reasons.

Abby: Yeah, like, maybe she knows when he is gonna be home, or maybe he sent us a message. And wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Ashley: Yeah. Honey, I-I just don’t want you to get your hopes up. Maybe she — maybe she’s gonna tell you that his assignment’s been extended. I don’t know.

Abby: I am only thinking positive thoughts.

Ashley: Okay. Me too. I-I just don’t want you to be disappointed if, you know, if the news isn’t what you want to hear, honey.

Abby: We’re only thinking positive thoughts. Right, dominic?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah.

[ Chuckles ]

Victoria: Okay, thank you. What are you looking at so intently over here? Social media. Really?

Ashland: Yeah, I’m on the lookout for any internet leaks about my criminal past in case gaines made good on his threat to expose me before victor could handle the situation.

Victoria: Oh.

Ashland: Darling, I know this is the last thing you want to think about, but I can’t let my guard down. Gaines could still be a wild card.

Victoria: My father told me that he had taken care of things.

Ashland: I know, and I trust victor, but he thought he handled the guy once before, only to have him turn up in tuscany with billy.

Victoria: I should have had my parents bring the kids. It would have saved us so much grief.

Ashland: Hey. You are not to blame for any bit of this, not for one second. Jesse gaines has a score to settle. He thinks that I’m responsible for the utter failure that his life has become.

Victoria: Well, he made a big mistake showing up to the wedding, thinking that he was going to make some big public scene, knowing that my father would be there.

Ashland: Well, I believe we’ve established that he doesn’t always think through the ramifications of his actions.

Victoria: Now that dad has teamed up with adam, look out. Well, they’ve assured us that they’ve neutralized the threat, and I believe that they’ve handled the situation.

Lily: I mean, I think victor would love to mess with us, mostly to hurt you. But I don’t think that’s his only goal — or adam’S. I don’t think it’s even his main objective. Maybe it’s just part of his strategy, you know, to misdirect us, because if we’re so focused on protecting ourselves against an attack, then we won’t look too closely at something else.

Billy: Like gaines disappearing off the face of the earth.

Lily: Do you think victor convinced gaines to leave ashland alone?

Billy: Hell, no. But I do think you’re on to something. There’s more going on. Everyone remembers the moment they heard,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Billy: Gaines told me he hated ashland from way, way back, when he showed up as a young, enthusiastic kid.

Lily: What else did he tell you?

Billy: He told me everything, every detail from the beginning. Now, granted, this came from jesse’s sad point of view. He talked about how he showed up and made a name for himself at camilla rhodes’ company and also caught the eye of her attorney.

Lily: Gaines sr.

Billy: Yes. Ashland was showered with love and affection, almost made it feel like he was senior’s son, not jesse, who ended up feeling like a disappointment. Jesse showed up in tuscany with a lifetime of anger and bitterness at the man that he claims stole his father’s heart from him. He knew it was a risk, but yet he was that determined to expose ashland for the fraud that he really was.

Lily: Well, I guess he cared about his grudge more than anything else.

Billy: Jesse said he was gonna release that video if we didn’T. And I believed him, and yet there’s nothing out there.

Lily: Maybe he changed his mind.

Billy: I don’t think so. I think he was stopped from doing it.

Lily: Well, there’s a lot of ways that victor could have accomplished that, with his resources.

Billy: Victor and I both paid him a whole lot of money to keep him quiet. And, like you said, it’s always been more than money to him.

Lily: Wait. Are you suggesting that maybe victor made gaines disappear? I mean, that’s not really his style.

Billy: No, maybe not. But I definitely wouldn’t put it past adam.

Noah: So, tell me about faith. How are things going over at walnut grove? I know she had a hard time last spring on account of those mean girls. Things gotten any better or…

Sharon: I’m sure she’d be happy to tell you when you see her, but so far she’s having a stellar year.

Nick: I think what your mom’s trying to say is you can’t sidestep our questions forever, bud.

Noah: Am I really doing that, though?

Sharon: Yeah, every time we ask you a personal question, you deflect, and then you change the subject.

Nick: Just like you did over in italy. I mean, at least with me.

Sharon: You are incredibly charming in your way that you deflect, but… okay, I’ll give you some style points for that.

Nick: At some point, you’re gonna have to give us something. Yeah, you got to tell us why you felt this urge to take this break from this life you built over in the U.K.

Noah: Oh, wow! Would you look who’s here? You guys mind if I go say hi? Alright, cool.

Mariah: Noah! Oh, my god!

Noah: Surprise!

Mariah: Oh, my god! What — it’s so great to see you!

Noah: You too.

Tessa: Oh, my gosh, what are you doing here? You didn’t mention you were coming to town.

Noah: Yeah, it was a last-minute decision after the time we spent in tuscany. I got to tell you about your girlfriend.

Sharon: So…what did noah mean when he said he was worried about you in italy? What? You too? What is with all of this secrecy?

Nick: I wasn’t exactly an invited guest to the wedding.

Sharon: Why not?

Nick: I found some things out about ashland that were concerning. Dad and billy were running their own investigation, so I started doing some digging, too, and victoria found out about it. And she was mad as hell. I mean, she still is.

Sharon: Well, did you find anything real, or was it just innuendo and rumor?

Nick: Details aren’t important. What matters is that it didn’t change her mind about marrying ashland. But it did change things for me and victoria.

Sharon: She must know that you were coming from a place of love and concern.

Nick: I mean, I was. It’s why I went over there, to make amends and to show some support for my sister. But she made it very clear that she was simply tolerating my presence at the wedding. I mean, she felt really betrayed.

Sharon: That must have hurt.

Nick: It did. I mean, it still does. I just have to hope that she will someday forgive me. But you know what? I don’t want to talk about that. I’d really like to talk about our boy.

Sharon: Alright.

Nick: You’ve always had a great read on him. What’s your take with this?

Sharon: I think there’s more to noah’s visit from london than just needing a change of scenery.

Nick: Agreed.

Sharon: You know, you’ve had many conversations about what it’s like to live in other parts of the world, and every time we’ve talked about this, he said how fulfilling london is and how he feels like he’s come into his own. He talks about the energy and how much he loves the people there. But now? It seems like he’s ready to leave that all behind, and something must have happened to make him feel that way.

Abby: Say cheese for daddy! Hi!

[ Laughs ]

Ashley: Make sure you send me those, too.

Abby: Try and stop me. Can you believe it? Pretty soon, I might be able to share these pictures with chance in person.

[ Doorbell rings ]

[ Sighs ] Christine. Hi. Come in. I’m so excited to hear the news.

Christine: Oh, why don’t we go in and sit down? What can I du with less asthma?

Noah: Now, I really wish you could have seen tessa sing at victoria’s wedding. She has really, really grown as an artist. We were all blown away.

Tessa: I mean, being accompanied by the great leslie brooks might have helped.

Mariah: Actually, I did get to see tessa’s performance because somebody posted it online.

Noah: Yeah, I wish you could have been there to see it live.

Mariah: So, how long are you in town for?

Noah: Not really sure, but i doubt I’ll be going back to london anytime soon.

Mariah: Wait a second. I thought you loved it there. What went wrong?

Noah: [ Laughs ] Nothing went wrong. It was a career choice, going to the center of the hipster and artist universe, but it’s not really who I am. I never will be. Genoa city’s my home, and I’ve missed my family… and my friends.

Tessa: We’ve missed you, too.

Noah: Anyways…how you doing? Tessa and mom, they told me about what happened. So, I can’t imagine how terrifying it must have been, trapped in that small room, especially now, how difficult it must be with the baby around.

Mariah: [ Sighing ] Oh, yeah. Um…it’s been tough, you know, but I have a great support system.

Noah: You seem happy, solid.

Tessa: We are.

Noah: You know, that doesn’t just happen. It’s one thing to find love. It’s another to hold onto it. Anyway, I should probably get back to my folks, but it’s been great catching up.

Mariah: Yeah, of course. I’ll see you soon, okay?

Noah: Okay. There has got to be a story there.

Tessa: Yeah. Well, I’m just glad that the three of us are in a good place now and that we’ve been able to let go of the past and move on.

Sharon: Mariah seems to be doing better.

Noah: Yeah, she seems to be okay at the moment.

Sharon: I’m glad.

Nick: So, your mother and i have been talking, and I filled her in on what went down with victoria in tuscany.

Noah: Yeah, I tried to play mediator.

Sharon: How’d that go?

Noah: Not too well, honestly. Yeah, it was pretty tense. I kind of hated it. And now that we’re back, though, is there anything I could do to help break the impasse?

Nick: Don’t worry about it. I got it covered.

Noah: Well, the offer stands if you need the help.

Nick: Alright. Right now let’s talk about you and your plans and if there’s anything your mom and I can do to help.

Noah: I’ll figure it out, unless, of course, you guys don’t want me to stay or something like that. I can just skip town.

Sharon: Oh! You’re staying.

Noah: [ Laughs ]

Nick: Eh…

Noah: Eh.

[ Laughs ]

Christine: So, I, um, I don’t know how to say this except to just be straightforward and honest. There are reports coming in from the city where chance has been working undercover.

Abby: Where is he?

Christine: I can’t say, only that he was recently transferred for the final portion of his assignment. And things just progressed quickly, and then the location of his mission was hit by a bomb in the middle of the night. The building was leveled. The state department has put out a statement fearing that there are no survivors.

Ashley: This still sounds a little vague. Do you have any more information?

Christine: I don’T. I just wanted to tell you everything I learned right away.

Abby: Um…that’s got to be a mistake. Feeling stressed in your skin?

Billy: If jesse had gone through with what he said he was gonna do, it would have been more than just public embarrassment for ashland. It would have affected the merger between locke and newman. And it also would have affected newman media.

Lily: Meaning victor and adam.

Billy: I was so focused making sure that victoria knew the truth, I lost sight of the fact of the hit that ashland would take to his bottom line if this came out.

Lily: So, even though it wasn’t about the money for gaines, it was for them.

Billy: And you know adam, the lengths he’ll go to prove himself to his father. He’ll do the dirty work. I think you’re right. Maybe that’s why victor came after us with so much bluster. He wanted to distract us from looking into how gaines disappeared and how far adam will go to do what ashland

needed him to do but, more importantly, what his father

wants him to do.

Lily: I mean…if adam did something to hurt gaines to keep him quiet…

Billy: If we get justice for gaines, and we stop newman media in their tracks, we become the threat. We become the ones to crush the competition.

Ashland: You sound confident.

Victoria: Because I am.

Ashland: Well, I sincerely hope that victor can stop gaines from putting his plan into motion. I-I want to believe that.

Victoria: And you can! But enough about all that. You know what I want to do? I want to discuss our honeymoon.

Ashland: Seriously? We just got back to a mountain of work.

Victoria: I know! So, we’ll handle all that, and then we’ll go away.

Ashland: You know, I love the way that you are forcing me to keep my priorities straight. Pick the most romantic spot on the planet, and I’ll make it happen.

Victoria: Actually, I’ve handled it already. You are never in a million years gonna guess what my honeymoon surprise is for you.

Ashland: Hmm.

[ Both laugh ]

Tessa: Mm.

Mariah: So, how did you like your sandwich?

Tessa: Oh, I did not realize how hungry I was!

[ Both laugh ]

Mariah: Um…can I ask you a favor?

Tessa: Yeah, sure. What is it?

Mariah: That teddy bear that you got me from tuscany? Do you mind if I give it to dominic?

Tessa: You know, I had a feeling you were gonna ask that, and that’s part of the reason i got him.

Mariah: Should we go do that now?

Tessa: Well, I thought you saw the baby today and said it wasn’t very easy for you.

Mariah: Well, I mean, it wasn’t, but it was a lot better than it has been. Look. I was being honest with you before, and I’m being honest with you now. This isn’t coming from anywhere obsessive. I just think that the baby would really like that teddy bear. And he was sleeping most of the time that I saw him earlier. So, it wasn’t much of a visit.

Tessa: Well, then, what are we waiting for?

Mariah: Yeah?

Tessa: Yeah.

Mariah: Okay.

Christine: I’ve called my other contacts trying to get verification.

Ashley: So, you haven’t gotten it yet.

Christine: No.

Ashley: When are you gonna hear something?

Christine: I…don’t know. And even if the reports of the explosion are accurate, that doesn’t mean that chance was in the building at the time of the attack.

Abby: He wasn’T. He couldn’t have been. He wasn’T. He just… I would know. I would feel it. I would. It’s not possible.

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Michael: I’d like you to testify against your grandfather.

Ashland: Did I hear correctly? Are you planning to go after chanccomm?

Billy: If you want the opportunity to get justice for this gaines guy and rid us all of adam, this is your opportunity.

Christine: So, I just got off the phone with one of my contacts at the bureau. He had some intel on the bombing.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

That’s why I said, mi but we’ve settled everything regarding avery, right? At least for now, so what business do we have? No, we’re on the same page when it comes to our daughter. Okay, what then? I have a proposition for you. I appreciate your family’s support of my campaign. Yeah, I-I think you have done a terrific job as the D.A. Of llantano county. Yeah. I mean, y-you’ve proven to be relentless in your pursuit of justice, and I think the right high-profile case can catapult you into the state attorney general’s office. It’s an unusual case — the kind that generates headlines and defines careers. I’ll let you know as soon as it’s in motion. Okay. Morning, kevin. Did you happen, uh, to see ava on the way in? No, I did not, but I did talk to your mother about spencer’s hearing. And? She on her way home? Uh, no. Unfortunately, she can’t get away just yet, but she was very clear about how she feels what should happen today. We’re about to get started. I-I need to know, what’s your plea?

[ Inhales deeply ] Come on, spence, we’ve been over this. I want to make sure that I’m dealing with the right information here. If I plead guilty or no contest, the judge will ask me if anyone is forcing me to make that plea, correct? Strictly pro-forma — they just want to make sure that you understand the situation. Look, I’m sorry, I have dozens of other cases to handle today, so what’s your plea? Hold on, spencer, uh, before you answer that, are you sure that someone isn’t pressuring you into doing the wrong thing?

[ Door opens ] So, we meet again. I have nothing to say to you. I’ll go you one better than that — I’m sick of being lied to. So everything that comes out of your mouth better be gospel.

[ Gasps ] Ooh. Or else? Or else victor cassadine’s gonna be put to rest in an unmarked grave, and I’m gonna do it personally. Oh, hi, doctor. He looks better, doesn’t he, than he did a few hours ago? Bit more color in his face.

[ Monitors beeping ] Can you give me any good news? I wish I could. The island isn’t that big. Peter couldn’t have gone far. Yeah, especially with two hostages. And no sign of drew or obrecht. What are we supposed to tell everyone back in port charles who’s waiting for news?

Thank you for telling us where to meet you. Um, yeah, you were right about this place — it is really isolated. Dante: Mm-hmm. When we got on the plane last night, anna still didn’t know where my mother was. Any word? No, I’m afraid not. We were with the local police most of the night, trying to figure out a trail where peter might have gone, and we got nothing. We did see the cell where your mother was being held. There was a syringe in the cell. It was empty. Had traces of flunitrazepam. Well, that’s a sedative. It results in muscle weakness, lethargy, confusion. Basically, there’s a chance my mother was roofied. And that’s the best possible news you can get. I’ll cooperate, but first, I need to know how valentin is. He’s alive. That’s the last I heard. And liesl? What news of her? Come on. Don’t snow me. I mean, you don’t care about anyone except yourself, we all know that. I mean, this love of the common man, where did that come from? When it was nipping at your butt as you were running towards the hills? I will say, you have been a busy boy. I mean, you’ve got more done in death than the average person achieves in a lifetime — sanctuary for peter august, uh, unlawful detainment — drew cain, liesl obrecht, and that poor little nurse who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. And last but not least, the abduction of valentin cassadine. And all of this after you blew up crichton-clark. I mean, vickee, come on. Explain yourself. Wow. When you lay it all out like that, I have to say, I’m very impressed. How on earth did I manage to do all that? What do you mean, you can’t give me any good news? He has two young daughters waiting for him back in the states. The surgery didn’t go as well as we hoped. The bullet fragmented and we weren’t able to remove all the debris. But I-I’ve heard of bullet fragments being left in the body before, and it’s fine as long as they don’t migrate or impinge on a nerve or — yeah, I’m sorry. My daughter’s a doctor. I guess you’re concerned about infection. I recommend mr. Cassadine to undergo exploratory surgery at a hospital in the U.S. Our facilities just aren’t equipped to handle a surgery that delicate. Okay, thank you.

[ Monitors beeping ] Well… you may have been born here in greece, but I’m damned if I’m gonna let you die here. Michael, I-I’m sorry. I hope I’m not interrupting. Oh, hey, uh, willow. I didn’t expect you back so soon. I just must have lost track of time. Um, this is richard sheridan, the D.A. Of llantano county. Uh, D.A. Sheridan, this is my son’s mother, willow tate. Llantano county in… pennsylvania? That’s right. Well, what brings you all this way? I’m gearing up to run for state attorney general. Michael has taken an interest in my platform. We share similar values. And what would those be? You know, actually, uh… I know the D.A. Is anxious to get back to llanview. Thank you so much for coming out all this way. Appreciate it. Nice to meet you, ms. Tate. Goodbye, michael. Bye. Which of your values would make a politician drive to the next state? Well, that is quite an interesting proposition. And if the price is right…

[ Cellphone ringing ] Uh, be right back. Mm-hmm.

[ Ringing continues ] Ava! Ava! Hmm? What was that all about? Don’t worry. I didn’t tell sonny that I know about your romance with “mike.” Turns out, he was very receptive to me spending more time with avery and I didn’t have to use any more persuasive tactics. Thank you. I appreciate that. And, to return the favor, you have a problem and I’d love to offer you a solution. My father decided to raise the stakes. What does that mean? He put ava in control of my trust fund. If I accept their marriage and agree to live by their rules, then ava and my father will make the charges “go away.” But ava is still in control of all of my money. Look, ava’s not my favorite person, either, and I would hate having to live by her rules and knowing that she had control over my money. But here’s the thing, spencer — I didn’t stalk her and I’m not facing criminal charges. So if giving in to your dad and ava is what it takes for them to help you, then that’s what you should do. Right. Yeah, that’s what — that’s what esme was saying. Hmm. Well, it looks like for once, we’re all in agreement. And if you tell me my mother is too busy to attend this morning’s arraignment, I’m disappointed, but I can understand, but she’s honestly too busy to even call me? I can’t speak to your mother’s exact schedule, but we did talk about spencer’s behavior and yours. My behavior? This is about spencer stalking ava. Laura doesn’t condone what spencer did or what drove him to that point. Bailiff: Everyone, please take your seats. Shall we?

I’m sure you realize what a stubborn streak spence has. I sure hope our opinions helped to convince him to make the right choice. You don’t think that you, as his girlfriend, carry more weight? Oh, you’re giving me too much credit. You and cam have known spence since you were kids. You’ve known him much longer than I have, and spence is very much his own person. Talk about someone who likes to go his own way. Hmm. Bailiff: All rise. You want to buy charlie’s? Well, haven’t you been trying to sell it for a little bit? Well, yes, when I was leaving town because of the stalker, yeah. Ava, I have a great use for it. It’s, like, a win-win. Well, but my — my situation has changed. Oh, do you want to hang on to charlie’s for sentimental reasons because it belonged to your brother? N-no, no, it’s not that. Sonny: Ava. Hmm? Can we finish? ‘Cause I don’t — I don’t have all day. Okay. Uh… well, w-what’s that they say about great minds thinking alike? I don’t — what does that mean?

[ Chuckles ] Well, you know, we have to pause our negotiations. Oh, so now you’re gonna keep charlie’s? No, no, no, no. It’s still for sale. It’s just another buyer is showing interest. And I say, let the deepest pockets win. And it’s always a good idea to have people in office owe you favors. And if it was a D.A. From new york state, I wouldn’t question anything. But llantano county is in pennsylvania, so what does that have to do with elq? Nothing, nothing. It’s — it’s purely personal. I’m acting in a family member’s best interest. Michael, stop being so vague. Who are you talking about? Look, sheridan is looking for a high-profile case, and I just handed him one. I suggested that he prosecute nina reeves for fraud and identity theft. You think this is some kind of a joke, don’t you? I mean, you’re facing charges of false imprisonment, criminal conspiracy, bribery, and not to mention the rising body count. What is it you want from me, robert? Peter august. I want to know where he is and when you worked with him. I’m not working with peter. Oh, come on. You found him a place to hide, didn’t you? Yes. And I gave him money and transportation, but not out of my choice. I was forced to do peter’s bidding. Really? And what kind of leverage did he have to get that?

[ Sighs ] Look, I’ve answered one of your questions as a sign of good faith. Now it’s time to begin negotiations. So why is it a good idea that my mother was drugged? It probably means peter’s keeping her alive. Right. Yeah, because why go to the trouble of drugging someone when you can just easily kill them? That’s not exactly a beacon of hope, but I guess it’s better than nothing.

[ Sighs ] Jason, can I talk to you in private for a minute? Sure. So, um… I have some news. It’s about drew. Yeah, anna already called. She said that drew had been shot two or three times before falling over the bridge into the ocean, and his body hasn’t been recovered. Yeah. The wsb is searching, but they’re pretty certain that they’re not gonna find drew alive.

Ava, you’re saying that sonnyand I want the same thing? In — in a manner of speaking. Um, sonny made me an offer to buy charlie’s just minutes before you did. Like I said, I’ll accept the highest offer. Maybe the two of you should talk this over. Right? Just one-on-one?

[ Sighs ] Why do you want to buy charlie’s? Why do you? For phyllis, to give her a fresh start. And you? Same thing. I mean, she… took in a stranger, saved my life. Pretty much the opposite of what you did. Yes, and I can never say I’m sorry enough. But as for phyllis, if she moved here and ran charlie’s, I think it would be really good for her. Uh, well, I agree. One of us is gonna have to bow out. Well, no need. If phyllis accepts generosity, she’s more inclined to accept it from you. So why don’t you offer her charlie’s? And if she likes the idea, then I will give you half the money — provided…you never tell her. Michael, we talked about this yesterday. I-I thought we agreed to hit the pause button where nina is concerned. You said you wouldn’t make any decisions without me. Look, I haven’t filed any legal action against nina, and I’m not trying to deny her visitation with wiley. Look, if I went to family court, of course I would consult you. I wo– I wouldn’t move forward without you agreeing to anything. So you went to some D.A. From pennsylvania instead? Yes, because I want sheridan to go after nina for — for what she actually did. I don’t want wiley’s custody to become a battleground, and I don’t want to deny her visitation to punish her. I want her punished for the crimes that she committed — fraud and identity theft. Oh, willow, s-she lied to my dad for nine months about who he was. She kept him from his — from his — his family, from his — from his life. I mean, that has to be illegal, and I’m hoping that sheridan can prove it in court. Just what do you mean by negotiations? Well, it’s a classic quid pro quo, isn’t it? The wsb can’t get peter august without my help, and I’m not about to give them my help without something in return — my freedom. The wsb is not gonna let you off the hook for crimes you did in the last seven minutes, much less seven years. I’m a former director of the bureau. The wsb has a reputation to maintain. Now, prosecuting one of their own wouldn’t look very good, would it? I wouldn’t bet the farm on that. Oh, really? Well, let’s do a little cost-benefit analysis, shall we? Prosecuting me versus… pursuing peter august. Well, I’d say that was a bit of a no-brainer, wouldn’t you, robert? I mean, peter’s your priority. He’s the one that’s unstable. He’s dangerous. He — he has access to faison’s bag of dirty tricks. Now, you still have some pull at the bureau, so I suggest you convince them to make me a deal. I don’t take my orders from a cassadine. Oh, robert, come on. Your goal is to catch the big bad wolf, isn’t it? The man who kidnapped drew cain, who can still terrorize maxie jones and her little girl. Look. You can either throw the book at me or you can stop peter august, but you can’t do both. Anna: Robert doesn’t think you’re much of a hero. I think I disagree with him.

[ Monitors beeping ] I mean, you don’t fit the conventional mold. You’re…very flawed, self-serving, definitely compromised. But you do have the courage to face up to what you’ve done. And try to be better. And you’ve certainly tried to turn your life around for you and your daughters. I think that’s very heroic in my books. That kind of courage.

[ Sighs, sniffles ]

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Ringing continues ] It’s my doubting ex-husband. Okay. I’ll be right back. You can count on that.

[ Ringing continues ] So, do you think it was victor that created the fake medical conference and arranged to have scott thrown from the plane? Well, he didn’t go into detail or anything like that, but he’s definitely the reason behind your mother being here. But why? A-and don’t say it’s because he’s infatuated with her. I mean, hell, maybe he is. I don’t know. But there has to be another agenda. I don’t know, but when he thought that liesl was in danger, he seemed genuinely concerned. I got a call, weeks ago, from someone claiming to be drew. Really? I went — I went back and forth and I thought, “maybe it’s him. Maybe he could be alive.” And then I thought, “eh, it could be some sort of mass manipulation.” It sounds like you were just being cautious. Yeah, but my being cautious means that I did not involve you, and if I had, maybe you would have been able to intervene and peter would not have shot drew. Judge hayes: Mr. Cassadine, do you understand your rights as determined by the united states, new york state constitutions, and new york state law? I do, your honor. And how do you plea? Mr. Cassadine, I’m waiting for your answer. What, spence? What is he doing? Not guilty, your honor.

I got your text. What’s so important? I was with valentin. Valentin’s out of surgery? H-how is he? He’s hanging in. This clown wants to talk to someone above my pay scale. Is that me? Always a pleasure, mate. What’s this about? Peter august. Wsb wants him, and I can make that happen. In exchange for what, exactly? Blanket immunity. Oh, yeah. [ Scoffs ] That’s a bit of a tall order. Hmm. Tall, maybe, but not impossible. See, we’re already making better progress than I was with robert. Yeah, but I’m far from the final say in this. Now that may be, but at least you’re willing to look at options. Robert was insisting the wsb would refuse to overlook my little transgressions. I thought I was a little naive of him. I don’t agree. You have a very extensive rap sheet. What makes you think I’m going to be more amenable to your offer than robert? Britt: If victor still has feelings for my mother, why was he holding her in a prison cell? Do you think it was punishment for her plan to kill peter in st. Lucia? If so, why would victor care about that? Look, britt, these are all questions the wsb still doesn’t have answers to, and they don’t even know why peter and victor were working together in the first place or how drew fits into this whole puzzle. When I went into drew’s cell, I had seen that he had scratched scout’s name into the wall, and I hope that means that he had enough strength to resist the conditioning. What, y-you think he was being conditioned? Well, that’s what victor said. I mean, I don’t know if he’s telling the truth or not, but I do know that drew was able to shoot a guard to save victor and valentin, but he wasn’t able to save himself. Unless or until they find a body, there’s still the chance that drew is alive.

[ Monitors beeping ]

[ Grunts ] Hey, valentin, you awake? Well, this can’t be a dream ’cause you sure as hell wouldn’t be in it.

[ Laughs ] I’ll round up a doctor for you. Where’s anna? She’s talking to that poor excuse for an uncle of yours — or should I say your father? Vic’s trying to cut himself a deal. But you’re not gonna let that happen, are you? Judge hayes: Although the defendant has no prior arrests, he has lived abroad extensively and has access to significant financial resources. The court finds that the state’s concern about you being a flight risk are valid. Accordingly, I’m ordering the defendant to surrender your passport. Bail is hereby set at $20,000. Pretrial is set for six weeks from today.

[ Gavel bangs ] If I can’t post bail, am I gonna go back to jail? It won’t come to that. Laura and i will post your bail. Oh, thank you, kevin. Thank you. I don’t get it. Why didn’t you do what we all advised you to do? I was about to. I made a lot of bad decisions from not following my gut. My gut told me that if I went along with ava on this, it’ll never end. So, your campaign contribution was basically a bribe to get sheridan to go after nina? Campaign donations are completely legal. Nina’s the one who committed a crime, and it certainly wasn’t a victimless crime, either. Look, I didn’t tell you this while it was happening, but my mom put her life on the line to step into my father’s business. Right? A-and what about his children? Yes, dante, kristina, and I, we are all adults, and josslyn has jax, but what about avery and donna? Look, avery’s old enough to understand loss, and donna, she was just so confused. I mean, t-they didn’t have their father for nine months. Michael, I know that. And my father’s business got messed up, which in turn put more people’s lives at risk. Michael, who are you trying to convince that you’re doing the right thing, me or you? You may not agree with my methods, but I have no regrets about making nina pay for her actions. And what about your actions? What are you talking about? On the one hand, you say you won’t try to cut nina off from seeing wiley, but you have to know that if nina is facing criminal charges, that’s bound to affect any potential visitation going forward. Well, you know what? If nina faces that consequence as a result of what she did to my father, so be it. Keeping a secret from phyllis doesn’t, you know, seem like a good idea to me. Yeah, and we’ve — well, we’ve learned what secrets can do. Um… yeah. It’s just, I genuinely want to help phyllis, and I don’t want my help to be misinterpreted as buying back her friendship. Well, I don’t need your help financially to buy charlie’s, and I don’t want to take your money ’cause then it’s like — even if you have good intentions, it’s like we’re — we’re gonna be too connected. Yeah, yeah. And that’s the last thing that you want. I-I have to say that, you know, I’ve been waiting with a fair amount of dread to have carly, you know, tear into me about our relationship in nixon falls. But she hasn’T.

we had a run-in at the quartermaines’, and carly went after my jugular. She never said a word about me… tricking you into loving me, and she still hasn’T. So I just…assume that she doesn’t know. Okay, let me tell you something, alright? Carly and I are rebuilding our life together after nine months apart. Why make it worse… …after what you did? Well, let me tell you something. Carly will never find out about it from me. You have the opportunity to finally stop your wayward nephew and bring closure to countless people.

[ Sighs ] Be smart, anna. That’s all that matters here. Don’t let pettiness over the past get in your way. I wouldn’t call what you did to robin “petty.” You stole years of her life. I’m not trying to minimize what I’ve done. I-I’ve made mistakes — huge mistakes, yes — but we both know life isn’t black and white. It’s all shades of gray. Look, you have every right to be angry about what happened to your daughter at crichton-clark, but, ultimately, she walked away unscathed. Now, can we really say the same about anyone who’s gonna get in peter august’s way? Okay. I might have more leverage at the wsb than robert sometimes, but you need to understand that your fate doesn’t lie in my hands. It might as well. Look, I-I know your stock has fallen with the wsb over recent years, but you still have friends — friends in high places. And if you have any favors outstanding, I suggest you call them in. Make my case or the blood that peter continues to shed will be on your hands. I need to go. Oh, and, anna, give my best to my son. Dr. Collins, you’re a genuine lifesaver. I…was so afraid spence would have to stay in jail. If I’m not mistaken, spencer will need a permanent home address to show stability. That’s correct. That settles it. You’ll move back in with me. That works for me. Spencer, a word in private, please. Yeah. Okay, well, we’ll just be out in the hall. I’m a lot of things, kevin, but I’m not naive. You and grandmother are gonna post the money for my bail. What’s the catch? Ava, I just want you to know how much it means to me that you were willing to offer spence a way out. I-I understand his pride temporarily got in the way of him accepting it, but trust me. I’ll talk to him. Oh, yes, do, please, and try to talk some sense into him. And whatever you do, esme, don’t let him drag you into any more bad behavior. Never. I should have stood up to spence and from now on, I will. I hope so.

[ Monitors beeping ] Oh, thank god, you’re awake. Guess so.

[ Sighs ] Surprise me, cassadine. Do the right thing. See ya. Okay. You gave me quite — you gave all of us quite a scare. You know, um, I’ll call brook lynn, let her know that you’re okay. No, not yet. Not yet. Well, don’t you want your daughters to know that you’re awake? Not until I talk to you. Whatever victor is asking for, don’t give it to him. Everything okay? Yeah. I had to, um, tell jason what I know about drew. Yeah. Yeah, how’d he take it? It was — it was okay. I-I told him that I felt the need to investigate before I-I said anything to him. Yeah. You know, until they find drew’s body, there’s a chance he survived, right? Yeah. I mean, jason said the same thing. I just don’t know… what there is left here for me to do. I mean, I can stay here and see things through. Or I can go home because my kids come first. Then maybe you should do that. You tried to bring scout’s father back, and now it’s time to go be with scout and danny. I’m sorry about your brother. Thanks. You know, drew and i weren’t exactly close, but he was important to monica and I’m just, you know — just thinking about her. Really? So you’re not thinking about how it was my crazy brother that shot yours? You’re not responsible for anything peter does. I know. But still, you’re here helping me find my mother, who has committed her own fair share of crimes. I wouldn’t blame you if you changed your mind and wanted to go home. No. We have a job to do. I’m not going anywhere.

At least we can all agree we want what’s best for spence. Maybe now you can see I have his best interests at heart. Maybe we could all be friends, after all. I’m sorry, I-i should be thanking you for providing my bail money. I certainly was not looking forward to spending another night in jail. Your grandmother and i are happy to help, but it comes with limitations. If you want our support, you’ll have to earn it. Earn it how? We have a few ideas, starting with you getting a job. Well, that was unexpected. Yeah, leave it to my son to zig when we want him to zag. I can handle him not accepting the deal. What bothers me most is the look on his face after he entered his plea. What was that? That this is far from over. Spoke to anna. She’s not going to help you. Well, if you say so, robert. I don’t have any control over what the wsb decides to do. But you don’t have me fooled. The world was a much better place when you were dead. Nothing to say? I’m still feeling a bit parched, robert. So why don’t you make yourself useful and fetch me some more water? Oh, and I prefer sparkling. Whatever victor is proposing, it’s a trap. No, no, I know that, obviously. Yes. And we have no idea of knowing what he’s been up to the past few years, but what choice do we have? Peter has to be stopped — for drew, for obrecht. Most certainly for maxie. Victor knows where he is. I sense it. So this is our best chance, don’t you — wait, wait. Careful, careful, careful. Don’t move. We can’t involve victor. We’ve gotten close to peter before. We’ll do it again. If there’s bad news about drew, I’d rather be at home with my kids. Makes sense. I’ll go arrange flights back. Wait, I-I didn’t say you have to come with me. I know. I want to. Jason: To pick up peter’s trail, we’re gonna have to retrace his steps. Where do we start? The last place your mother was seen — her prison cell. Wiley’s all set. Now we can finish our conversation. It isn’t over already? No, not for me. What you’re doing seems cold and calculating. Willow, I gave nina chance after chance. Even after that meltdown at my father’s funeral, I still gave her the opportunity to visit wiley, and what does she do? She brings up nelle, making wiley doubt that you’re actually his real mother. And then after that, I gave her another chance, and how does she thank us? By lying. By keeping the knowledge that my father is still alive, and for what? To punish my mother? Michael, I can’t deny anything you’re saying. It’s just — what do you think is going to happen to nina? That’s up to D.A. Sheridan. But if you’re asking me, I think that she needs to be held accountable. I guess this concludes our business. You’ll buy charlie’s and I won’t be involved, financially or otherwise. And carly won’t have to know how much it…progressed in nixon falls. Correct. I’m glad phyllis is going to have charlie’S. You know, I hope she stays in port charles. I really consider her my — my family, and I want to earn back the trust of those people that I love. Hmm. Nina reeves? Uh, yeah, I’m nina reeves. Is there a problem? You’re under arrest for identity

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Lani: Aunt paulina, what brings you here?

Marlena: Look, you are about to take a sacred oath to be– to be true to abe. And how can you do that knowing that you’re lying to him about being lani’s mother?

Paulina: There’s something important I need to discuss with you. Is this a good time?

Lani: Yeah, uh, the twins are napping, and eli’s out with his grandmother, so come on.

Paulina: [Chuckles]

Marlena: And you told them it’s impossible for them to see mr. Williams, right?

Of course. But mrs. Williams’s grandson is a police officer, and he demanded that they both be given access.

Marlena: He demanded?

They’re going to take this to my superior.

Marlena: Now, you listen to me. It is very dangerous for julie to see mr. Williams. I’m on my way in. Just stall them till I get there.

How will I–

Demon marlena: Ugh! Julie, julie, julie.

[Sighs] It’s time you learned to leave well enough alone.

Marlena: No, it can’t be. It can’t be.

John: What’s going on? What was doug doing?

Marlena: This is impossible. Stop that. You don’t know what you’re saying. This is–this is dementia.

[Doug speaking indistinctly]

John: What’s he saying?

Gabi: Where are you, jake? I was in the pub hanging out with ciara waiting for you. And then ben came in and said you left to take care of something. What could be so important that you couldn’t come inside and tell me yourself?

[Scoffs]

Carmine: [Laughs] You’re killing me. You with a gun? Come on, jake, you’re a pussycat. There’s no way that you would shoot me, and we both know it. See what I mean? You couldn’t do what needed to be done, just like you couldn’t with jed zanetti. Luckily, I got no problem doing what needs to be done.

Abe: What the hell is going on here?

Jake: No!

[Suspenseful music]

Abe, abe. Mayor carver.

[Abe groaning] Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Hey. Hey, hey. Hey.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Jake: No, no, no, shh. What the hell is wrong with you? You shot the mayor!

Carmine: This is all on you. You made me do it. And it’s your gun.

Jake: You son of a bitch! Hey, shh, shh. Hey, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me. I’m gonna get you help, all right?

[Abe groaning] Hey, hey, hey. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no, I need an ambulance at the park just off the town square. Yeah, mayor carver’s been shot!

Lani: I got the cutest text from my dad going on about how excited he is about the wedding– how he is buying himself a new suit. He wants this day to be perfect.

Paulina: [Chuckles] Oh, your father has already gone out of his way to make it perfect.

Lani: Because he loves you.

Paulina: And I love him so much.

Lani: I know you do.

Paulina: I feel so lucky to have a man like abe. He’s so respected and adored by so many. We even got marlena to perform the ceremony.

Lani: That’s great. They go way back.

Paulina: Yeah, I know. I know. We go way back, too. That’s why when marlena tells me anything, I take it to heart.

Lani: She’s very wise.

Paulina: She gave me some advice earlier.

Lani: Well, if it was marriage advice, I’d listen to her. In fact, please pass it along to me.

Paulina: Um, well, actually, it wasn’t marriage advice. It was about you.

Lani: About me? Well, what about me?

[Baby cries on baby monitor] Hold that thought.

[Crying continues]

Paulina: Lani… how am I going to tell you that I’m your mom and abe is not your real father?

Eli: How much longer until we can see mr. Williams?

I’m still working on clearance.

Julie: Well, you’ve been working on it for half an hour. If I’m not allowed to see my husband immediately, detective grant is going to insist on seeing the head of this institution, your boss.

Marlena: That won’t be necessary.

Julie: Marlena. Why am I not surprised? The nurse called you, didn’t she?

Marlena: Of course she did. I would expect her to when somebody comes in and tries to see a patient of mine who’s not allowed to have visitors.

Julie: I am not a visitor. I’m doug’s wife.

Marlena: Julie, I’ve told you before, it’s not safe. He attacked you once. He could do it again.

Eli: I’ll be by my grandmother’s side the entire time. So I’ll make sure that she’s safe.

Marlena: It’s not just your safety that I’m worried about. It’s also doug’S.

Julie: Why?

Marlena: Look, I’m afraid that the sight of you might upset him, which could set him back.

Julie: It could also give him comfort. It could raise his spirits. My god, he’s been in this place isolated for days. He must think I’ve abandoned him.

Eli: Come on, marlena, I mean, please. You got to understand what they’re going on.

Marlena: You’ve got to understand that I am trying to help doug and julie.

Eli: Okay. I get that you have the authority to keep my grandmother from seeing doug, but I have the authority to question him about a crime.

Marlena: What’s he saying? That you’re going to press charges against doug for assaulting you?

Julie: Of course not.

Eli: Yeah, no. I didn’t even say anything about my grandmother. Actually, I’d like to have him explain more about how you tried to kill him.

[Recorder whirring]

Marlena: That’s not funny, doug.

John: Ah, I don’t understand this. Why don’t I hear what doug’s saying?

Marlena: No, no, you can’t be the–

[Recorder whirring] Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this to doug? He’s the kindest, gentlest man I’ve ever known. He’s an angel.

John: Is doug not even in the room with you?

Marlena: Why are you doing this? After all these years, why have you come back to salem?

John: If that’s not doug… who the hell is she talking to? Serena: It’s my 3:10

[Knock at door]

Kayla: Marlena, are you free–

[Scoffs] Not again.

John: No, no, no, no, no. It’s not what you think.

Kayla: I warned you the other day that accessing marlena’s private patient information was a violation. What are you thinking?

John: What marlena is thinking is what I’m worried about.

Kayla: What do you mean?

John: Something bad is happening to my wife, and it started right after her session with doug. Now, when I play this recording–

Kayla: No, don’t say anything, all right? Just give me the recording.

John: I’ve already listened to the session!

Kayla: I don’t want to know that.

John: No, no, you got to understand. There’s something off with the recording.

Kayla: I don’t care. If you heard something, forget it, all right? And if you don’t give me the recorder, I’m going to have to report this as a violation of patient-doctor confidentiality and a violation of–

John: Damn it, kayla. You got to hear me out here. Come on, you were one of doc’s closest friends.

Kayla: And she would be very unhappy to know that you are here right now.

John: Please, just listen to the recording. For some reason, when marlena speaks, I hear her voice really clear. But when doug speaks, all I hear is static. And the way marlena is talking, it sounds like there’s someone else with her.

Marlena: Obviously doug was not in his right mind when he claimed that I tried to kill him.

Eli: I’d like to hear that from him.

Marlena: He’s delusional, eli.

Eli: I’ll be the judge of that, marlena.

Marlena: You’re not qualified to judge it. I’ve been a psychiatrist for many, many years. I’m trained to diagnose somebody that’s going through what doug is going through.

Julie: Well, I am his wife. I know him better than anybody in the world does.

Marlena: Yes, but he’s not who he was before.

Eli: Why would he think that you tried to hurt him?

Marlena: Because he’s paranoid… because he’s confused. Look, I try to do the very best I can for all my patients, but once in a while, a patient comes along who is so deeply disturbed that they think the therapist has become the enemy.

Eli: Did you do something to him that would make him think that?

Marlena: Of course not. I took an oath. First, do no harm. In my professional opinion, I think that julie seeing doug would do that kind of harm.

Julie: Well, I’ve heard about your learning. I’ve heard about your judgment. I heard about you took a hippocratic oath, but you’re not behaving like a human being, marlena. My god, I thought of you as family all my life– loving, supportive.

Marlena: Thank you for that.

Julie: Well, what’s happened to your compassion? Even as you’re looking at me, your eyes are so cold. I don’t think I know you anymore.

Lani: You seem to have the magic touch with jules.

Paulina: There’s no magic to it, just practice and technique. The same technique I used on you when you were a babe. You know, the secret is in the rhythmic pats on the tush.

Lani: Tush pats is your secret>

Paulina: Uh-huh. The secret is the rhythm. It’s not a random thing. It’s three paths, sway, three pats, then sway.

Lani: And that works?

[Laughter]

Paulina: It worked on you every time, and you were stubborn. Oh.

Lani: I didn’t know that you helped mom with me when I was a baby.

Paulina: Oh, no, no, not all the time. Just when things were really hectic, uh, but I treasured every moment

Lani: Until you had to leave for your next adventure.

Paulina: Well, tammy decided that she had to have you all to herself, and your grandma, she agreed. But I just enjoyed being close to you for as long as it lasted.

Lani: Well, I’m sure it was good practice for you until you finally had a daughter of your own.

[Siren approaching]

Jake: All right, help is on the way. You just got to hang in there, all right, abe?

Rafe: Jake, what’s going on?

Jake: Thank god you’re here. He’s not doing well.

Rafe: Get your hands up. Move away from him.

Jake: What? No, no, no, you don’t understand.

Rafe: Move away from him!

Jake: You don’t– I-I-I didn’t do this!

Rafe: Now!

Jake: I’m the one who called 911!

Rafe: Get away from him now. Come on, get in there. Hands behind your back.

Jake: What?

Rafe: Get ’em– come on, abe.

Rafe: Oh, my god.

Gabi: Answer your phone. Hey, watch where you’re going.

Carmine: Go to hell.

Gabi: Hey, wait a minute. You’re carmine merlino. My hygienist cleans with a round head.

Gabi: What are you doing here, carmine?

Carmine: You must got me confused with somebody. I got one of those faces.

Gabi: No, no, no. I know exactly who you are. I saw that ugly mug in a file that philip kiriakis gave me.

Carmine: I don’t know who that is.

Gabi: You’re a terrible liar. He brought you to town, didn’t he? He’s trying to pin this–this jed zanetti’s murder on jake, but you’re the one who really killed him.

Carmine: Let me guess– you’re jake’s latest. Drawn to the bad boy with the heart of gold.

Gabi: [Scoffs] Don’t worry about who I am. We are not giving up.

Carmine: Fine, but I got news for you, sweetheart. Right now jake’s got bigger problems than jed zanetti.

Lani: You said marlena gave you some advice about me?

Paulina: Yes, she did.

Lani: Okay. You want to share?

Paulina: Uh… lani, I need you to know… before I ever loved your father… I loved you so much.

[Sighs] And because of how… I think of your father and what he means to me, this is why I need to have this conversation with you.

Lani: This sounds serious.

Paulina: It is. And your father, he… he doesn’t know anything about what I’m about to share with you. But I hope and I pray that he understands why I decided to tell you first.

Lani: Okay. I got to admit, you’re starting to worry me here, auntie. I–

Paulina: No, no, no worries. No worries. All I want is for us to all be a family.

Lani: Does this have to do with the other night… when you asked me to call you mama?

Paulina: Actually, it does.

Marlena: Oh, julie, I’m sorry you don’t feel that I’ve been caring enough towards you and doug. I’m just–I’m trying so hard to be professional. And because of our long and close friendship, I… I need to ask you to trust me.

Julie: Marlena, I’ve shown my trust in you. I let you talk me into having doug committed to this institution. But with the decisions you’ve been making lately, it’s getting harder and harder to believe that you really–that you really care about what’s best for him.

[Cell phone rings]

[Cell phone beeps]

Eli: Hey, rafe, I’m sorry. This is not a good time.

Rafe: Yeah, there’s been a shooting.

Eli: I’m at bayview right now with my grandmother. You’re gonna have to have somebody else cover for me.

Rafe: Listen, I’m not asking you to work the case. The victim is abe.

Eli: What?

Rafe: Yeah, he was just shot in the chest, and we’re about to take him to the hospital now. I thought you’d want to be the one to tell lani.

Eli: Okay. I’m on my way.

Julie: What’s happened?

Eli: Abe’s been shot. They’re taking him to the hospital.

Julie: My god! How bad is he? What happened?

Eli: I don’t know, grandma. I don’t have all the details. He’s been shot in the chest, and he’s headed to the hospital–that’s all I know. But I got to go tell lani.

Marlena: Go ahead. I will stay with julie.

Eli: Okay, thank you.

Julie: Who would do such a thing to a man like abe?

Marlena: I don’t know. There’s a lot of evil in the world. May I drive you home?

Julie: Oh, no, no. I want to go right to the hospital. I should be there for abe and for lani and eli.

Marlena: Aren’t you afraid you’ll be in the way?

Julie: [Scoffs] In the way? No, they’re my family. If you cannot drive me, I’ll just call a taxi.

Marlena: No, no, that would be a mistake. I have a much better idea.

Kayla: So you’re saying you think that there was someone in the room with marlena and doug? It was a private session.

John: I’m telling you, she was talking to somebody else, and she was scared.

[Cell phone ringing]

Kayla: I’m sorry. I got to take this. Dr. Johnson. What? I’m on my way.

John: Everything all right?

Kayla: There was a shooting, and the victim’s en route.

John: Okay, I’ll tell you what? I’ll just wait for you outside er.

Kayla: John, it was abe.

John: No way.

[Dramatic music]

Jake: Hey, how is abe? Is he going to be all right?

Rafe: I don’t know. He was shot in the chest, jake. Tell me what happened. Oh, so now you’re not gonna say anything. So what, you just, uh–you came across him lying there?

Jake: What if I did?

Rafe: So, uh…. so you’re claiming someone else shot him. They left the gun by his body, and you saw nothing.

Jake: I’m not saying anything else without my lawyer. Advil dual action fights pain 2 ways.

Rafe: Abe’s been shot. He might not make it. And you’re gonna lawyer up on me?

Jake: I want my phone call.

Rafe: Well, you need to know that abe is not only my friend and mentor, but he is one of the best men that I have ever known. And if you are responsible for this, I am not gonna rest until you pay.

[Dramatic music]

[Door closes]

[Line trilling]

[Cell phone ringing]

Gabi: Hello.

Jake: Hey.

Gabi: You finally called me back. I was really starting to worry. Where are you?

Jake: [Sighs] I’m at the police station.

Gabi: Oh, god, is this about carmine?

Jake: Just get down here as soon as you can.

Gabi: [Sighs]

Julie: Abe has been shot in the chest. Nobody knows what his condition is. What good would I be going home?

Marlena: Well, no offense, but what good would you be at the hospital?

Julie: I take great offense at that, marlena. And if you will not drive me to the hospital, just get out of my way, please.

Marlena: No, no. You know what? I… I’ve got a better idea. Why don’t I drive you to st. Luke’s?

Julie: You want to take me to church?

Marlena: Yes. Yes. I was thinking that we could– we could, uh, pray together for doug and for abe.

Julie: Right now?

Marlena: Yes. Well, I know how much you believe in the power of prayer. Well, I-I saw you and john just the other day praying for doug in the chapel.

Julie: Well, of course I believe in the power of prayer, but–

Marlena: And the church is only–only just steps away from the hospital. I think it would be very helpful if we went there and we prayed together for doug and abe.

Julie: I suppose you’re right.

[Scoffs] Actually, these days, I always have my rosary with me.

Marlena: Oh, it’s okay. It’s– don’t you think you ought to just pull that at st. Luke’s?

Julie: All right.

Marlena: Okay, then we have a plan. Um, I-I think it’s good that we’re doing this together.

Julie: Marlena… I’m sorry that I’ve been so harsh with you about doug’s care. I-I know you’re not the enemy, and… I apologize for demonizing you.

Marlena: Well… it’s not the first time that’s happened. I guess I can get over it.

Julie: Thank you for offering to pray with me.

Demon marlena: All the prayers in the world won’t help you now.

Lani: I hope you understand that even though you’re marrying my father, calling you mama is weird to me. You will always be my auntie, not my mother.

Paulina: I got to– I can understand why you feel that way.

Lani: And besides, I mean, do names even really matter? We both know how we feel about each other in our hearts.

Paulina: That’s so true. That’s so true, baby. What I need you to understand is that… you are so much more to me than just my niece or abe’s daughter. The truth is…

[Lock clicking]

Lani: Hey. Babe, I wasn’t expecting you home so soon. Were you able to get julie in to see doug?

Eli: No. Look, baby, something happened while I was at bayview.

Lani: To doug? Is he okay?

Eli: Not to doug, to your dad.

Lani: Huh?

Eli: He’s been shot. Your mission:

Gabi: Oh, my…

Jake: Hey.

Gabi: I’m so glad you’re okay.

Jake: Sorry. Sorry to worry you.

Gabi: Baby, I was just more annoyed than worried. I ran into carmine.

Jake: You did? When?

Gabi: I bumped into him outside of the pub, and I could recognize him from the picture–the file that philip gave me.

Jake: Did he know who you are?

Gabi: I told him.

Jake: Why would you do that, gabs?

Gabi: What is going on, jake? You ditched me at the brady pub. Is that what you’re here? Did he turn you in?

Jake: Gabi… I was the one who convinced carmine to come to salem.

Gabi: What?

Jake: Yeah. I wanted to tell him face-to-face I wasn’t gonna let philip use him… to steal your company. He wouldn’t listen to reason… so I pulled a gun on him.

Gabi: You what?

Jake: I was just trying to scare him.

Gabi: Well, I guess you succeeded. He was in a hurry when I bumped into him.

Jake: Yeah, well, he didn’t back down. And then he grabbed for the gun.

Gabi: What?

Jake: Yeah. We struggled for a bit. And then mayor carver showed up.

Gabi: Wait, abe was there?

Jake: He tried to intervene.

[Sighs] Probably saved my life, but–

Gabi: What? Did–did something happen to abe?

[Monitor beeping]

Kayla: There’s no sound on the right. Probably a hemothorax or a pneumothorax. I’m gonna have to intubate. There is an exit wound, and he’s in shock from loss of blood. We need a massive transfusion protocol.

Blood pressure dropping.

Kayla: We need to get him stabilized. Hang on, abe. Come on. Hang on.

[Elevator bell dings]

Lani: John.

John: Oh, lani. I am so sorry, baby.

Lani: You heard about my dad?

John: I was with kayla when she got the news. She’s with him right now in the trauma unit.

Paulina: Oh, why, why? Eli– who would want to shoot that dear man?

John: Eli, you got any info on that?

Eli: No. Nothing yet.

Lani: Is he going to be all right?

John: I don’t have any details yet, sorry.

Paulina: Oh, leave that to me.

Eli: Wait, wait. No, I’m sure kayla will update us if she has any new information.

Paulina: I’m not waiting on any update. That man, that is my fiancé.

Eli: Wait. Paulina, you can’t just barge in there like that.

Paulina: Let them stop me.

Eli: Paulina!

Lani: Let me handle this, okay? Stay with the kids.

John: You have no idea how any of this happened?

Eli: No, I got the call while I was at bayview from rafe while I was trying to get my grandmother in to see doug.

John: Did you see him?

Eli: No. Marlena showed up and blocked us. We were dealing with all that when I got the call.

John: Did you leave julie with marlena at bayview?

Eli: Yeah, but my grandmother texted me. She said marlena and her are headed down to st. Luke’s to pray for abe.

John: St. Luke’s?

Eli: Yeah. Is everything okay?

John: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just, uh… keep me posted about abraham. I’m gonna check on julie and marlena.

[Elevator bell dings]

Julie: [Sighs]

[Suspenseful music]

Marlena: Why don’t you light a votive candle for abe and doug?

Julie: Yes, of course.

Lord, hear our prayer.

Demon marlena: They say everyone is welcome in your house… but what about me? How does it feel to have me back in your sacred space again? Such fond memories I have of trashing the place 25 years ago. I’m almost glad that it’s been cleaned up, patched back together… because now I can desecrate it all over again. Those who believe in you think that humans gain grace through sacrifice. Well, I’m here to offer my own sacrifice to you… your devoted servant, julie. I will drown her in the same font where her great-grandbabies were baptized. Nothing says satan has returned like a little drowning in the house of god.

Gabi: Did you tell rafe what happened, that carmine shot abe?

Jake: [Sighs] I panicked, okay? I didn’t pull the trigger, but it was my gun.

Gabi: Why didn’t you tell that to my brother?

Jake: I didn’t want to incriminate myself, gabi. What was I supposed to say? I was threatening carmine because I didn’t want him to implicate me in a murder?

Gabi: Oh, I can’t believe this.

Jake: I’m sorry.

Gabi: No, it is not your fault, okay? If philip and ava hadn’t tried to steal gabi chic… oh, damn those two.

Jake: Your brother’s pretty upset about abe. He’s pissed that I’m not talking.

Gabi: Hey. I will talk to him right now, okay? Right now we just have to pray… that abe pulls through, okay?

[Monitor beeping]

Kayla: His blood pressure’s stabilizing, but we need more plasma.

Paulina: Where’s abraham? Where’s my–

Kayla: Paulina.

Paulina: Abe, dear god! You need to save him!

Kayla: Paulina, you cannot be in here. You cannot be in here.

Paulina: Oh, he needs to know I’m here for him.

Kayla: Yeah, he does, okay? Would you please give us some room to work and go on out? Thank you.

Paulina: He needs to know I’m here and I love him.

Lina: Aunt paulina, he knows that, okay? He is fighting his hardest to get back to you and to me and to everyone who loves him, okay? I know, I know, I know.

Julie: And please, lord… hold doug and abe safe… in your everlasting arms. Lord, hear our prayer.

Marlena: Amen. That was lovely.

Julie: [Sighs deeply] I always feel so much better in… a sacred space.

Marlena: Yes. We all do. Isn’t this where your grandbabies were baptized?

Julie: Oh, yes. What a joyful day that was, marlena– welcoming little jules and carver into the family of god.

Marlena: [Chuckles] Babies–such a blessing.

Julie: And I was honored, honored to be chosen godmother to little jules. And I know how abraham was thrilled to be godfather to little carver. And now…

Marlena: We just have to hope that abe will be fine.

Julie: I can hardly believe that we’re here praying for his life… and for doug… to be restored to me, to be the man I’ve always loved. When did our lives take this dark turn? And… how did it happen so fast?

John: Doc! Julie!

Julie: [Chuckles] John. How did you know you were here?

John: I saw eli at the hospital. He said you texted him.

Julie: Well, it was marlena’s idea that we come here.

John: Is that right?

Marlena: Yes. I thought it would do us both some good.

Julie: How’s abe, honey?

John: Kayla’s doing everything that she can for him. Eli is there with lani and the twinners and paulina, but they sure could use your support.

Julie: Well, I told marlena that, and she thought I’d be in the way.

John: Did she now?

Marlena: I just thought there were better uses of our time, like being here to pray for abe and doug.

John: Julie… why don’t you head on across the street? I’m sure they’re gonna be real glad to see you.

Julie: Thank you, john.

Marlena: [Shouts]

John: Hold on a second, doc.

Marlena: [Scoffs] Shouldn’t we be going over there? I mean, we’re close, dear friends of abe’S. Wouldn’t we want to be there with him?

John: We will be. But I also want to be here for my wife, except… I’m not so sure you are my wife anymore. As someone who resembles someone else,

Marlena: John, what are you talking about? Of–of course I’m your wife.

John: No, you haven’t– you haven’t been yourself since that incident with doug.

Marlena: Well, maybe it was just very upsetting to see somebody you care about so much lose his mind. As his doctor–

John: I went to your office, and I listened to the recording of your session with doug.

Marlena: You shouldn’t have–

John: I heard your voice perfectly but doug… only static.

Marlena: Hmm, that’s odd.

John: Yeah, you know, at first, I was confused about that. Couldn’t figure out what it meant. But you sounded so scared, so I started thinking really hard about what you said on that recording. You asked him why after all these years has he come back to salem. And I thought, “that doesn’t make any sense. Doug’s been here forever.”

Marlena: I don’t know what to say–

John: And then it finally hit me, why I couldn’t hear doug’s voice. The reason why you were so scared was… because you weren’t even talking to doug, were you? There was someone else in the office that day, someone you hadn’t seen in 25 years.

Marlena: I’m sure I don’t know what you’re talking about.

John: Oh, I’m sure you do because you’re the one who attacked julie… you’re the one who has caused all of this.

Marlena: You should stop talking now before you say something you’ll regret.

John: It’s you, isn’t it? You have possessed my wife again, haven’t you?

Jake: It’s my fault abe got shot.

Gabi: No, no, it’s not your fault. You were trying to save my company. So right now we just have to stall for time… and hopefully abe recovers enough to tell rafe exactly what happened… that carmine shot him, not you.

Jake: Yeah. Abe has to pull through… not because of me…

[Sighs] Because of his family… and all the people who love him.

Lani: Let’s just sit here for a minute.

Eli: Hey, how’s your dad? Did you talk to kayla?

Lani: Yeah, but she wouldn’t say. He lost a lot of blood.

Paulina: Oh, eli, why? Why? What could this shooting be about? Do you think abe was targeted because he’s black?

Eli: I hope not, but we’ll follow up with rafe.

Paulina: Oh. Oh.

Lani: Dad.

Paulina: Lani… lani, your father–he’s a strong man, the strongest man I’ve ever met.

Lani: Yeah, I– me too.

Paulina: Honey… I know he’s looking forward to our life together… and also to a daughter that he loves and the family that she’s built– those two precious babies. We’ll get through this. We will. And then after, we’ll all celebrate our wedding… together.

Lani: Yeah.

Kayla: We’re losing too much blood into his chest cavity. Start two large bore ivs. Type and cross four units. I’m gonna place a chest tube.

[Monitor beeping rapidly] Ah, we’re losing him.

[Monitor flatlines]

John: I know who you are, and I’m ready for you. And I swear to god, I will battle you for my wife. And I will defeat just like I did the last time.

Demon marlena: Aren’t you the clever one, john black? There’s nothing you can do about it.

John: No.

Demon marlena: Your precious marlena is mine now.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Liam: Hey, so kelly and i already, uh, we washed out all the buckets, and we put the kites away.

Steffy: Thank you. Is she… where is she?

Liam: Yeah… she kinda talked me into rewarding her with screen time for the whole bucket thing.

Steffy: Mm. Of course she did.

[Both laughing]

Liam: I like this mommy daddy date thing with kelly. We should do that more.

Steffy: Yeah. I like it too. I mean it’s– it’s really important. Plus, it’s nice that our partners don’t mind.

Liam: I mean, as far as we know. They could have been complaining about it at lunch the whole time.

Steffy: Yeah, that’s true. I hope not. Actually, what I really hope is that they’re spending time right now, talking about how much sheila and deacon cannot be in our lives.

Sheila: You initiate it this time.

Deacon: Initiate what?

Sheila: The kiss.

Deacon: Uh, that’s a hard pass. What the hell has gotten into you?

Sheila: Look, finn and hope are watching us. We need to show them that we have a really good connection. Would you just trust me? I know what I’m doing.

Deacon: Oh really, do you? Was this all part of the master plan?

Sheila: You should just kiss me.

Deacon: You want me to kiss you?

Sheila: Yeah.

Deacon: All right, I’ll kiss you. Come here, I’ll kiss you.

Brooke: Eric, hi.

Eric: Hello, ladies.

Donna: Uhm… how– how long were you standing there?

Eric: Uh…

Donna: You heard… didn’t you?

Eric: This beautiful woman admitting that she still loves me, after all these years? Yes, donna, I heard.

Pam: Oh, I swear if donna used those scissors and didn’t put them back where they belong, again. You know what this means, right, charlie? I’m gonna have to check her drawer.

Charlie: Uh, I, I, thought that was, you know, verboten–

Pam: Well, back in the day, I wouldn’t be caught dead touching anything on her side, but I don’t think she’ll mind. Oh, good lord!

Charlie: Hey, is that– is that honey?

Pam: Oh, she still keeps a few of these on hand. I think it makes her feel close to eric.

Charlie: Wow, after all these years? Has she never gotten over him?

Donna: Okay, um, okay, uh, yeah, I’m just gonna, um, pretend to study these files, and, um, we’re never gonna talk about this again, okay?

Brooke: Donna, please, don’t go. As you can see, eric, she’s a little embarrassed that you overheard, but I am glad that you did, because you need to know how she feels about you.

Donna: You know, you know how I feel? I feel that these, uh, that this design is really nice, and I’m, I’m gonna go study this.

Brooke: Honey, honey, please. Donna. Oh, come on. Just talk to eric. And eric, just listen to this wonderfully caring, and affectionate woman, who used to be your wife, and that’s the kind of woman that you need in your life, eric.

Liam: Well, I’m sure they talked about it, right? ‘Cause it’s something they have in common, the old ex-con parent.

Steffy: At least hope grew up knowing what a loser her father is. Finn doesn’t even know his birth mother, and that’s what’s scary to me. That means he could be vulnerable to her.

Liam: Yeah, vulnerable, but he’s not dumb, I mean, he knows to stay away. And even if he doesn’t, hope is a perfect person for him to be hanging out with right now, then, because she is capable of convincing him that he should be nowhere near sheila.

Sheila: Well, could you smile, play the part?

Deacon: I don’t get why you think it’s such a good idea for hope and finn to–

Sheila: Well, you just keep your eyes on me, the woman of your dreams.

Deacon: My nightmares.

Finn: We should leave, right, before they see us.

Hope: No, I need to know what the hell my dad is thinking.

Finn: Hope, no, no, no. No.

Sheila: Show time. Hope! Uh, wow, what a beautiful surprise–

Hope: Hi. Dad, what is going on? What are you doing here with her?

Do I need to pretreat my

laundry?

Brooke: Eric, you know the kind of woman that donna is.

Eric: Yes, I certainly do.

Brooke: And through the years, you’ve spent time with women that, maybe, don’t share those same qualities. So, maybe, it’ll be good if you spend time with somebody that’s a little more positive, a little more tender. And just then, maybe, all of your problems will go away.

Brooke: Charlie? What are you two doing? Are you going through my sister’s things?

Donna: How do I do it? I always find new and ever more horrifying ways to embarrass myself.

Eric: No, don’t be embarrassed. You just made my day.

Donna: Eric.

Eric: Look, it, it’s true. I’m more than flattered. It means a great deal to me to know that you still care about me, after all these years.

Donna: Of course, I do. Nothing will ever change that.

Steffy: I hope this feeling eventually goes away, this sense of being on edge 24/7.

Liam: Yeah, tell me about it. I mean, I, I know deacon’s gonna pop up again at some point, right? The question is just when and where. Here’s the thing though, like, what, uh, what can we really do about it, now? Like, hope knows that she should stay away from deacon, at least. I know you’ve had the exact same conversation with finn, so, all we can do really is just hope and have faith that, that they will.

Steffy: I know, but that is so hard, knowing that sheila, or deacon, or both of them, can worm their way back into our lives. If they hatch some crazy plan together, while finn and hope are at their weakest, we’re all gonna pay the price.

Hope: Dad, I, uh, saw you, kissing her.

Deacon: Heh, ah, you, uh, saw that, all right, guilty. I’m not usually a pda kinda guy, but sometimes, I just can’t resist.

Sheila: Oh. Finn, sweetheart, you’re here too. I, uh–

Deacon: Uh, deacon sharpe.

Finn: Hi.

Sheila: So you, uh, you saw that, you saw that too, that little kiss?

Finn: Hm, yeah. I did, I did.

Sheila: I guess it must be confusing for the both of you.

Hope: Yeah, I’d say so. I mean, I didn’t even realize that you two really knew each other, and let alone, well enough to be kissing each other, so, uh, dad, I mean, some answers, please.

Deacon: Uh–

Sheila: Uh, it started with letters–

Deacon: Letters.

Sheila: Yeah.

Finn: Letters, what, what letters?

Sheila: Uh, when he was in prison, we were corresponding, and those letters, for us, they were life-changing.

Hope: Hm, so, uh, you’re implying that the two of you are a, uh–

Sheila: Yes. We’re a couple.

Deacon: Mm-hm.

(Eerie music)

Hope: You really expect us to believe this?

Finn: Of all the people in the entire world, the two of you just happened–

Hope: To connect through letters?

Sheila: I mean, at, at first, it was just friendly. No, you know, your dad, he’s got that charming wit about him.

Deacon: I really do.

Sheila: And then, it became more flirtatious, and before you knew it, I was, uh, I was visiting him in prison.

Deacon: Which is so ironic too because you’ve spent so much time in prison, so.

Sheila: Yeah, well. Well, then once deacon became eligible for conjugal visits–

Hope: Oh, no, we don’t need to hear about that.

Finn: Don’t need to know about that.

Sheila: I, I, I didn’t mean to embarrass you. I was just trying to explain.

Deacon: You know what, please do. Explain it for ’em. Explain the whole story.

Brooke: What is going on here? Is that donna’s honey?

Charlie: What, that? No, no, no. I, I confiscated that from a nefarious–

Pam: Charlie, give it up. She’s clearly onto us, but before you go tattling on me, it’s totally donna’s fault that I had to go snooping in her drawer.

Brooke: Oh, no. Never mind that. There’s more important things going on here for donna right now than your endless desk war. She’s in there right now with eric.

Pam: Oh?

Charlie: Omg. Is she getting the axe?

Brooke: What? No.

Pam: Wait, brooke, brooke. When you say, “more important,” I mean, do you mean that they might be…

Brooke: Well, I’m not interested in gossiping, and you shouldn’t be either.

Pam: How many hours a day do I sit next to your sister, and for how many years now? I mean, she’s gonna tell me anyway. So you might as well spill the beans.

Brooke: Okay. Okay. Let’s just go somewhere a little more private.

Pam: Come on, charlie. So, is donna finally telling eric how she feels?

Brooke: Look, I don’t want to get into it with you, if anything were to ever come of it.

Pam: Oh come on, please, brooke. All right, I admit, I was completely against the relationship when stephanie was alive, but now that she’s gone…

Charlie: Uh, uh, excuse me, uh, am I the only one that sees a problem here? I mean, doesn’t a certain wife kinda put the kibosh on any kind of donna-eric reunion?

Brooke: I don’t think anybody’s gonna be disappointed if quinn was gone. I mean, really.

Pam: I mean, I know eric is married to her, and i have tried to be happy for him. But he has just seemed so lonely for so long now.

Charlie: Yeah, he’s certainly not the jolly ‘ol fashion guru he once was.

Brooke: Hm, but he could be if he listens to donna, and if he feels the same way about her as she feels for him.

Donna: You don’t think it’s strange that i never truly moved on?

Eric: Strange? No, I don’t think it’s strange. Besides, I like strange. I like it.

Donna: Well, you know, I, I tried. I really did with justin, I did. But I think I was just romanticizing the idea of two high school sweethearts reuniting.

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: In reality, that was never gonna work, not when the true love of my life was right across town. Oh my god, wow, I can’t believe I just said that out loud to your face, and I’m not hyperventilating.

Eric: There, you see, you’ve made real progress.

Donna: Oh I missed that, that, that laugh, that smile, i haven’t seen much of it lately.

Eric: I haven’t had much reason for it, lately, but I can’t help it with you, I mean, you always make me syo you crack me up with things you say.

Donna: Just what a girl wants to hear after admitting her feelings, a man cracking up.

Eric: Yeah, I’m sorry. I walked right into that, didn’t I?

Donna: Yeah. Mm-hm.

Eric: But, uh, but I mean it when I say I was truly flattered.

Donna: Good, because I meant it too. You really are the true love of my life. And you know, there’s no point in even trying to hide it, okay?

Sheila: You have to understand, after writing so many letters back and forth, and, and connecting on paper–

Hope: Okay, just stop, please. You know what is not adding up for me here? Is why you would even think to write her in the first place?

Sheila: It was, it was an apology letter.

Deacon: Hm.

Hope: Why would he apologize to you, of all people?

Sheila: Well, think about it, hope, I mean, why, why was your dad in jail? He shot at quinn, and I was blamed for it. I thought it was really quite nice when he reached out to me, so naturally, I, I wrote back, found out that we had a lot in common, and, and then, after I started seeing him in person, and connecting with him, I found out we had even more in common and that’s when it happened.

Finn: What, what happened?

Sheila: That’s when we fell in love.

Deacon: Mm-hm.

Hope: Love? The two of you are in love?

Deacon: Mm-hm.

Charlie: Oh, come on. I mean, if eric ever looked in donna’s desk drawer, he’d know exactly how she feels. I mean, nothing screams devotion like a private stash of honey bear bottles.

Brooke: That’s true, but I think he probably assumes she moved on years ago.

Pam: A hot tamale like donna could have gotten out there and landed a rich hunk if she wanted to.

Brooke: But, she didn’t, because she still loves eric. But the question is does eric really love quinn? Or do you think he could still have feelings for my sister?

Eric: Donna, you’ve really felt this way about me all these years?

Donna: Yes.

Eric: I had no idea I was still that important to you.

Donna: Our time together, our marriage, was the best moments of my life. Truly, I… I love you. I never stopped.

Eric: Those were some of the most important times of my life too. They really were.

Donna: They were? I’m sorry. I think I need a tissue.

Eric: Here.

Donna: I, I… uh. What was I saying before about embarrassing myself? I think I just hit a new time high.

Eric: Well, you keep, you keep this in your purse at all times?

Donna: Uh… yeah. Um, you know, just remembering what things used to be.

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: Okay fine, fine, I admit, I, I actually, I keep a stash in my desk.

Eric: Wait, a stash?

Donna: Yes, I do.

Eric: Wait, you have some of these in your, in your desk, as what? As mementos?

Donna: No. No, it’s, um, uh… when, um, when I’m, I’m missing you, I, um, I, um, uh, no.

Eric: What, you what? Tell me. Donna, tell me, I want to know.

Donna: It’s like I’m admitting everything today, aren’t I? I, uh. I do this. Reminds me of better times, times with you.

Eric: Yeah?

Donna: Yeah. Remember?

Eric: Yeah, I remember. Here, may I?

Donna: Uh, certainly.

Eric: Nice.

Donna: You’re remembering.

Eric: Yeah, I am. Donna, I’m more than remembering.

Devon: Look at you, boss lady. I like the way you handled that very much.

Abby: Oh, yeah, for now. But if she’s looking for other jobs, then putting her trout dish on the menu isn’t gonna keep her for long.

Devon: I know you’ve gone through a lot of chefs since Lola left.

Abby: Yes, big shoes to fill. Lola was like a superhero. I miss her so much, not just as a chef, but she was a good friend. I thought we were gonna be in this together.

[ Sighs ]

Devon: You okay?

Abby: Yeah, it’s just, you know, situations like this make you realize that there are no guarantees in life…about anything.

Adam: Chloe, you, um, you shouldn’t let your imagination get the best of you.

Sally: But if you must know —

Chloe: I must.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: I’m just kidding. No, our plane landed a couple hours ago, and we went our separate ways. The fact that we ran into each other on the way here was just pure coincidence.

Adam: Uh-huh. Now, do you buy that story?

Chloe: Would you?

Adam: Look. Nothing happened in Tuscany that you need to concern yourself with. I mean, other than the fact that Sally had a major success with Victoria’s dress. That’s all we were talking about when you were eavesdropping.

Lily: Hey. You’re awake already? What’s wrong? You didn’t sleep well?

Billy: [ Sighs ] I didn’t sleep at all. After you fell asleep, I went for a walk. And I ran into Victor.

Lily: Oh, God, what happened?

Billy: Let’s just say playtime is over. Time to man the battle stations. The old man has openly declared war on me and ChanceCom.

Adam: Nothing like waking up under the beautiful Tuscan sky. Hope you slept well.

Sally: Well, I got a lot more rest than I would’ve if we were to have spent the night together.

Double espressos, please? Yeah, can’t wait to see what you have planned next for newman media.

Sally: Oh, well, I can’t wait to show you and the rest of the world because it’s just the beginning.

Chloe: [ Clears throat ] Well, this is a nice surprise.

Adam: W-what is?

Chloe: Seeing you two here together, even though I know your plane landed just hours agO. You know, I can’t recall the last time I saw you two with such big smiles on your faces.

Adam: Hmm?

Sally: We’re very happy.

Chloe: Yeah, I understand that. Um…but I thought that you were going to keep this professional. So, did something happen in tuscany that you want to fill me in about?

Adam: Hmm…

[ Lock buzzes ]

Tessa: Buongiorno! Ah, I am back, finally. I am just so excited to see you. Mariah?

Mariah: Anyway, I was just in the neighborhood, so I thought i would drop this off. Is abby home?

Louise: No, she’s at society.

Mariah: Oh. Um… okay. Well, I came to check in on dominic. I know he had a cold.

Louise: [ Sighs ]

Mariah: Is there…a-a problem, because abby said that I was welcome anytime.

Louise: I just got him to sleep. It was difficult.

Mariah: I’m sure. The little dude really likes to fight his naps, especially when he’s overtired. It can feel like a triumph when he finally closes his eyes. So…

Louise: You only know the half of it.

Mariah: How about this? Why don’t you, um, why don’t you take a little bit of a breather, and I can watch over him for a minute?

Louise: Alright, but just for a few minutes.

Mariah: Okay.

Louise: Okay.

Mariah: Here you go. Hi! Hi, bowie. Hi. I’m back…finally.

[ Chuckles ] I’m so happy to see you.

Abby: You want to quit? Pamela, I thought you loved it here. I mean, you love the staff. The kitchen is state-of-the-art. Why would you want to leave?

Pamela: There is a new place about to open in the warehouse district. They made me an offer.

Abby: Okay, well, that’s — it’s pretty risky, don’t you think? I mean, you could start cooking there, and a few months from now they run out of cash? But society is here to stay. We have a large clientele, and they love your cooking. If this is about money, I-I can give you a raise. You deserve it.

Pamela: Thanks, but it’s not just about my salary. I want to create my own menu.

Abby: Look. I get that. But our customers, they love lola’s menu, and if we change it, I mean, aren’t they gonna go elsewhere?

[ Sighs ] Hey, um, you’re right. Right, you should have a chance to put an imprint on the food that you serve. So, um, how about we schedule a time to get together in the kitchen, and you can create a few dishes that you think should be on the menu, and we can take it from there? How does that sound?

Pamela: Thank you, abby. You’re the best.

Devon: Look at you, boss lady. I like the way you handled that very much.

Abby: Oh, yeah, for now. But if she’s looking for other jobs, then putting her trout dish on the menu isn’t gonna keep her for long.

Devon: I know you’ve gone through a lot of chefs since lola left.

Abby: Yes, big shoes to fill. Lola was like a superhero. I miss her so much, not just as a chef, but she was a good friend. I thought we were gonna be in this together.

[ Sighs ]

Devon: You okay?

Abby: Yeah, it’s just, you know, situations like this make you realize that there are no guarantees in life…about anything.

Devon: When’s the last time you heard from chance?

Abby: It was that obvious i was thinking about him?

Devon: Talk to me. Tell me what’s going on.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Alice loves the scent of gain so much,

Mariah: Oh, come here, guy. Oh, come here. Yes, yes, yes. Okay, there you go. You’re calm now. We’re getting calm. What’s that? How am i doing? Why, thank you for asking. That’s very polite. I’m kind of a mess. I’m trying hard to work through my issues. I am. You know, but I have this connection to you, and I don’t know how to let it go. I’ll just have to figure out a way to…to move forward through all of this. But I’m gonna get where I need to be, okay? Don’t you worry about that. Oh, man! It’s just hard. It’s so hard… not just on me. It’s been hard on everyone around me… especially tessa. Can I tell you a secret? When tessa was going to italy, I got really scared. I was worried that we weren’t on the same page about our future. And I’ll let you in on another little secret. I’m still scared.

Mariah’s voice: It’s me. You know how this works. Leave a message.

Tessa: Um, hey. Hey, I just got back. Don’t worry. I wasn’t expecting any welcome-home party or anything, you know? Maybe a few streamers and some balloons, definitely a cake, but something must have come up. So, um, I’m super-wiped from the trip. So, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll see you soon. Bye.

Abby: Yeah, it’s been hard not having chance around the past several months. I’m not hearing from him for weeks at a time, months. I thought he’d be home by the time dominic was born, and… I mean, he hasn’t even gotten to hold his own son in his arms. I mean, his own son.

Devon: You know that it’s okay to feel sad and to feel lonely and to feel frustrated, anything you’re feeling.

Abby: You know, I’ve never admitted this to anyone, but there are nights when I wake up, and I’ve just been crying in my sleep, calling out chance’s name. During the day, I can just keep myself busy. I can push the fear out. But at night… I don’t know how much more of this I can stand.

Adam: Chloe, you, um, you shouldn’t let your imagination get the best of you.

Sally: But if you must know —

Chloe: I must.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: I’m just kidding. No, our plane landed a couple hours ago, and we went our separate ways. The fact that we ran into each other on the way here was just pure coincidence.

Adam: Uh-huh. Now, do you buy that story?

Chloe: Would you?

Adam: Look. Nothing happened in tuscany that you need to concern yourself with. I mean, other than the fact that sally had a major success with victoria’s dress. That’s all we were talking about when you were eavesdropping.

Chloe: No, I just — I just overheard. And actually there have been some new developments about the dress.

Adam: Well, I’ll leave you two to discuss them. I have back-to-back meetings at the grand phoenix. So, have fun.

Sally: Good developments?

Chloe: Actually, terrible.

Sally: What? I’ve seen nothing but positive press about the gown.

Chloe: Oh, I’m not talking about the dress itself. The whole world loved the dress.

Sally: Okay. So, then, what could possibly be the problem?

Chloe: There has been some personal fallout from our plan. And I think you should be prepared for what’s coming. I order my groceries online now.

Adam: Hey, chelsea. Uh, yeah, I just got back from tuscany. I was a little surprised to get invited to the wedding, but I’m actually glad I went. It was stunning. It was beautiful and majestic. Yeah, victoria’s gown was a hit. It was a bit of a coup for newman media, but sally — sally hit it big. Oh, um, you’re calling to talk about the e-mail from connor’s teacher? Well, I handled that already. I told him that I think he should be accelerated to the next course of math. Um, yes, I handled it without talking to you. I had to. I tried to get a hold of you, but I know you’re busy with your mom. They needed an answer. I mean, I’m his father. I can make those decisions. Do you not agree he should be accelerated to the next course? Okay, that’s what I thought. I mean, we’re generally on the same page about his education. So… then what’s the problem?

Mariah: Alright, bowie. I have definitely overstayed my welcome. That was a good talk. Thank you for listening. It kind of felt like old times. I’ll see you soon, okay? I promise.

[ Sighs, chuckles ] Okay! You have convinced me. I will stay for a little bit longer.

Abby: I always admired chance’s need to protect and help people. That’s who he is. It’s in his blood. I mean, he wants to help people all over the world. And when we got married, I guess I just — I never expected him to be called away by the feds. That’s why he joined the gcpd. He wanted to settle down, but we never got to settle down. He was gone before I knew it.

Devon: Yeah, I know. And you never expected for him to be gone for this long.

Abby: I thought maybe a couple weeks, a month. I never prepared myself for what it would feel like for him to be gone for this long, for an extended period of time in a dangerous situation. And it was difficult before dominic was born, but I guess it’s only inevitable that I’d be more afraid now.

Devon: Well, yeah, of course. You have a baby, you know? Having a baby heightens everything in life.

Abby: Well, I — I am done pouring my heart out because this is the part where you give me a pep talk, and you tell me that everything’s gonna be alright.

Devon: Oh, you don’t need me to tell you that, abby. You already know everything’s gonna be alright. You have to. You know, sure, chance has been gone longer than everybody expected, but you know that he’s doing everything in his power to come home to you and to his son as soon as he can.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: Right?

Abby: You’re right. It’s just…

Devon: What? You wishing he never had took the case in the first place?

Abby: You nailed it, yeah.

Devon: Yeah, I know. I know. And you have every right to feel frustrated about this situation, because nobody could have predicted this, that he’d be gone for this long, that mariah would get kidnapped by stitch. What I do know, though, and what you should know is that you can handle anything that life throws at you because that’s what you’ve been doing this whole time that chance has been gone. You’ve been handling it. And you have to just keep doing it. You really don’t have a choice because you have a little boy now that needs you to stay strong. And you have all your family, and you have all your friends. And you have people like me. So, stop forgetting that.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Itchy?

Adam: I know! I know it’s not your fault that you are not here. I’m not blaming you. Okay? Look. My meeting is here. I got to go. So, let’s discuss this later.

Devon: Hey, hey. I hope you know you didn’t have to hang up for me.

Adam: No, I’m glad for the interruption. I was talking to chelsea, and it wasn’t going well — about connor.

Devon: Uh-oh. Just having a disagreement?

Adam: No, actually, we were agreeing, which is why it’s so frustrating. I think she was just picking a fight because she feels pushed aside as a parent while she’s away.

Devon: Well, that’s understandable, right?

Adam: Yeah, I just wish she wasn’t taking it out on me. I’m just trying to do what’s best for my son. There’s just nothing I wouldn’t do for my kid.

Devon: Yeah, no, I see that. I’ve actually been very impressed by the way you stepped up for him.

Adam: Well, thank you.

Devon: A father being in a child’s life is half the battle. And there’s a lot of parents that just don’t understand that. So, it’s refreshing. But, um, you’re gonna need to fill me in on the latest promotions because I’m stepping up for nick since he’s extending his trip in europe.

Adam: Yeah, yeah, good for him.

Devon: He was a little reluctant to talk to you and victor. Is there a reason for that?

Adam: We just had a little family disagreement in italy.

Devon: That’s not gonna make work between newman media and new hope difficult, is it?

Adam: Well, let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. But, um, why don’t we get down to business?

Devon: Okay.

Mariah: “And silas the dragon found that he wasn’t so silly after all. He was strong and brave, and the whole town knew it. The end.” I have to say I’m not too sure about this one because he did seem like an incredibly silly dragon, and they just tacked a moral on at the end, but I’m glad you liked it.

Abby: Well, this is a nice surprise.

Mariah: Hi! I didn’t hear you come in.

Abby: Oh, I’m sure you were all wrapped up in silas’ journey.

[ Laughs ]

Mariah: Yes, I was, completely. I hope you don’t mind me just dropping by, but I was just checking on dominic, seeing how he’s recovering from the cold.

Abby: Well, no, you’re welcome here anytime.

Mariah: Thank you.

Abby: I’m surprised to see you. I mean, when you texted me and told me that you weren’t going to italy for the wedding, i thought that you’d stop by sooner, but it’s been days.

Mariah: Well, there were a lot of reasons for me not going to italy, but one of them was i wanted to be here in case dominic got sicker, and you needed my help. But then I didn’t want to overstep. So, I figured it would just be best to keep my distance.

Abby: I get it, yeah. Look. I don’t want there to be any weirdness between us. I mean, no awkwardness. You can come over here anytime.

Mariah: Of course, yeah. But speaking of awkward, I have breast milk for you!

[ Both laugh ] Yeah, I-I know that you’re probably running low, and you were talking about weaning dominic before, but I figured you could just use some, anyway.

Abby: Thank you. Yeah, I will definitely put it to good use, but well, I talked to the pediatrician, and she’s comfortable with switching to formula. So, I think after this… look. I-I know that that must be difficult for you to hear, and i promise you I am not shutting you out. I think this is a good time to transition to formula. So, I hope that’s not a problem.

Chloe: Lauren tore me to shreds. She was not happy that her designer’s dress got tossed aside for yours.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I’m so sorry.

Chloe: Look. I am just afraid that she is going to unload on you. So, I just want you to be prepared.

Sally: Yeah. I mean, I knew there was a possibility that lauren would be mad at me. I just feel terrible that you got caught in the crossfire.

Chloe: Oh, listen. It’s fine, honestly. I probably deserve it. In hindsight, I could have given her a heads-up out of courtesy.

Sally: Yeah, right. But if lauren knew, she would have alerted victoria, and it would have ruined our whole scheme.

Chloe: Don’t — don’t say scheme. No, that makes me feel so much worse. We had a plan, and our plan worked out better than we hoped. And now I just have to deal with the less-pleasant consequences of my actions, which is fine. I-I have — I have dealt with it before. I know the drill. It’s really no biggie.

Sally: You’re not being honest.

Chloe: I beg your pardon?

Sally: This is a big deal. Lauren is a part of your family, and I feel terrible. I have to find a way to fix it. I will just tell her that I did all of this behind your back, and you had no idea what I was up to.

Chloe: It’s too late. I already confessed that I knew about everything. So, um, I appreciate the offer.

Sally: Well, I mean, if there’s anything at all that i can do, I will do it.

Lauren: Oh, I think you’ve done more than enough already. Feeling stressed in your skin?

“The young and the restless”

will continuE.

Sally: You’re mad. I get that.

Lauren: You proved me wrong. When you schemed to get summer out of the country…

[Sighs] I had to fire you. And I actually thought that you would respect me, even after that. But you proved me wrong even then! You are just conniving and self-serving.

Sally: I had to rebuild my image and my reputation.

Lauren: Oh, my god. You have a very funny way of showing that. Going to italy? Stealing my designer’s dress and replacing it with yours right before the ceremony? Employing the same tactics that tarnished your reputation in the very beginning?

Sally: I think you have some facts wrong. I did not steal your designer’s dress. I moved it. And victoria had the chance to decide which dress she wanted to wear.

Lauren: And this is your defense?

Sally: Okay, look. I-I really don’t expect you to understand.

Lauren: Yeah? You know what the problem is? I actually do understand. You love to give these big speeches, proving yourself to everyone in your life. But the truth of the matter is, you’re just interested in your own success. You’re going to alienate everyone, everyone here, and it’s going to happen, sooner rather than later. This is a much smaller town than los angeles. And when you realize the best thing that you could do is leave, I won’t shed a tear.

Sally: Okay. Well, I guess nothing I say will change how you feel right now. So, I can just hope that one day you will see me in a different light.

Chloe: Are you done with me, too? Or do I still have a chance to repair things between us?

Devon: Alright, man. Well, this all looks good. So, I will — I’ll tell nick about our progress, and we’ll take it from there.

Adam: Great.

Devon: Yeah.

Adam: Well, thank you for taking the time, devon.

Devon: Absolutely.

Adam: I, um, I hadn’t realized how much I miss running into you, when we were neighbors.

Devon: Well, the building isn’t the same without you. I’ll tell you that.

[ Both chuckle ]

Adam: Well, I’d walk out with you, but I have another meeting in a half-hour.

Devon: That’s fine. Not a problem. That’s plenty of time for you to call chelsea back and smooth things over.

Adam: What? You want me to call her back, so she can keep yelling at me?

Devon: No, no. I want you to make things right so that feelings don’t fester, and then it’s ten times worse the next time you talk to her.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Devon: You know?

Adam: You’re right. Of course. I just don’t know why I’m the one that has to extend an olive branch.

Devon: Well, I mean, if you think about it, man, you’re the one that gets to go home to your son every day. She’s hundreds of miles away, missing him and feeling left out. So, you know, take the high road because you can afford to be generous. See ya.

Adam: See ya.

Mariah: I loved being able to provide milk for dominic. It made me feel like I had a unique role in his life. And it’s hard to hear that, you know, it’s no longer needed. But I understand.

Abby: You do?

Mariah: Before all this, I — I used to think that I was incredibly smart and savvy, always one step ahead. But…I did not realize how intense this would be. And I need to get back to myself. You know? That’s one of the other reasons why I didn’t go to italy. I didn’t want to be out there, celebrating with everybody and putting on a smile when I just wasn’t in the mood.

Abby: And tessa was okay with you not going to the wedding?

Mariah: Well, she wasn’t thrilled that I opted out. But I needed time for myself. I needed a routine and structure and to do some deep, deep reflection.

Abby: And did you come up with any big conclusions?

Mariah: I did.

The best kept skincare secret?

[ Doorbell rings ]

Abby: Hold that thought one second.

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Hi!

Devon: I just wanted to come and see if you’re feeling any better because I felt bad I had to run off to that meeting.

Abby: Well, thank you. That’s very sweet. I am. I was. I hope I still am. Come on in. Mariah’s here.

Devon: Oh, really? Hey.

Mariah: Hi!

Devon: It’s good to see you. Am I interrupting anything, or…

Mariah: No, no, not at all. In fact, you should all be here for this.

Devon: Okay.

Mariah: So, I just wanted to say that I love you both. And you’ve been incredible through this whole ordeal. You know, we all have a bond bringing dominic into this world, and it’s one that I’m gonna cherish forever. I-I know that you’ve been worried about me lately. And I’ve been struggling with my role in dominic’s life. I’M…I’m having a hard time letting go. I’ll admit that. It’s just been hard, you know, sorting through all of this jumble of emotions, especially for somebody who doesn’t like dealing with messy emotions. But I’m working on it. And I just hope that you both believe me when I say that I am doing much, much better now.

Abby: Well, I am happy and relieved that you’re feeling better.

Devon: Yeah, so am I. You seem a lot more happy. You seem a lot more calm.

Abby: There was a wall between us that I never wanted. And when I walked in and saw you reading to dominic, I was thrilled, because I want you to have an important role in his life, a big role, but only when you’re ready for it.

Mariah: I’m ready. I am. And I want us to take that step together.

Devon: Absolutely. We’re still the baby chancellor crew, right? Or you know what? We should probably call ourselves the baby dominic crew now.

Abby: Ah, I love the sound of that.

Devon: Yeah?

Abby: Mm-hmm.

Devon: Think so.

Adam: [ Exhales ] Hey, chelsea. Look. I know you were not planning to hear from me again so soon, but I needed to tell you that I was wrong earlier. And I should not have made that decision without you. And from now on, when situations like that come up, I will not make them without talking to you. I know. I mean, if we’re gonna co-parent like this, we need to be able to talk to each other no matter where we are. So, um, how’s your mom doing? Okay. Do you have any idea when you’re gonna be able to leave her on her own and come back to genoa city? Okay, well, if you want to come back, I don’t understand the hesitation, chelsea. Okay, that’s not what I’m saying, but, but —

Sally: Hey. Are you alright?

Adam: The mother of my son just hung up on me. But besides that, I am fine.

Sally: Are you sure? Because you seem upset.

Adam: I said that I was fine. So, you can take my word for it. Now, please, tell me. What do you want? We’re eating and drinking foods and beverages

Lauren: Look. Um, I think I was a little harsh on you yesterday. It’s just that I was so angry.

Chloe: You had every right to be. I am so sorry.

Lauren: And I accept your apology. What you did was misguided. It was not vicious and conniving. You are on a completely different level from sally.

Chloe: Well, you made it pretty clear that you have no plans to forgive her.

Lauren: I say this out of love. Cut her loose. Do not continue to work with her. She will betray you, too, and you will end up in the exact same position I am — stabbed in the back.

Adam: Sally, look. I’m sorry. Alright? I’m sorry. I’m dealing with a lot today, with work and with chelsea. Will you please sit down? Please? Tell me why you came by.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I had a run-in with lauren. She’s furious that victoria wore my dress instead of the one from fenmore’S.

Adam: Well, I’m sorry you had to go through that.

Sally: I just figured you should know. And I also — I just kind of wanted a friendly ear.

Adam: Well, don’t worry about it. You don’t work for lauren. And victoria made her own decision about the dress.

Sally: But it still didn’t feel good to be told off by someone whose opinion matters to me.

Adam: Trust me. I have been there and done that more times than I can count. Don’t beat yourself up about it. It’s not like you committed some great crime against lauren. You’re in a competitive business, okay? You won this round. She may win the next. I mean, does that help put it in perspective?

Sally: Yeah. It does. I wish I could reciprocate and, you know, do something to make you feel better.

Adam: A productive, profitable day would make me feel better. Or at least it would distract me. I’m gonna walk into this restaurant and go to my meeting. I’ll see you later.

Sally: Yeah. See you around.

Devon: It seems like mariah is really finding her footing.

Abby: Yeah. She’s on a better, healthier path.

Devon: Yeah. Makes me happy to see that she put you in a better mood.

Abby: Well, like you said, my friends and family will always be there for me, and that goes both ways. I woke up this morning feeling blue, and then I saw you and mariah, and it turned my whole day around.

Devon: Yeah? That’s all it took? Are you sure you’re okay?

Abby: Yeah, yeah. So, you don’t have to stick around here and be my cheerleader anymore.

Devon: Oh, I don’t mind doing that, but I feel like you’re kicking me out. Is that what’s happening?

Abby: I’m never kicking you out, but I’m sure you have a hundred things to be doing.

Devon: Ah, not quite a hundred, but…

Abby: See? Look. I would love nothing more than for you to hang out with me and dominic all afternoon, but that’s not necessary. I’m okay.

Devon: Well, I am still gonna come back and check up on you. You can count on that. You can count on me. Okay?

Abby: Devon?

Devon: Yeah?

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: Of course. I’ll see you.

[ Door opens, closes ]

Abby: Chance, where are you? When are you coming home?

[ Sighs ]

Tessa’s voice: Something from tuscany to give you a taste of the beauty of the land and the romance of the wedding. There was so much love in the air, but there was a little something missing for me because you weren’t there to share it. This gift is my way of making up for that.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ]

Tessa’s voice: Okay, I bought it at the airport on the way out of town. I didn’t have time to do much shopping, but I thought of you constantly, and I missed you so much. I love you. Tessa.

Tessa: Hi!

Mariah: Hi. And welcome home.

Tessa: Oh, thank you. Oh, did you get your present?

Mariah: I did. It was very, very thoughtful.

[ Both laugh ]

Tessa: It was either that or some playing cards with the italian flag on it.

Mariah: Well, you made the right choice. I’m sorry I wasn’t here when you got home. Thought your flight got in later.

Tessa: Oh, it’s okay. It landed early. Oh, I missed you so much.

Mariah: I missed you, too.

Tessa: We’ve got a lot to talk about.

Mariah: Yes, we do. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, and I’ve made some important decisions.

Tessa: Like what?

Mariah: Later, okay? We’ll talk later. For now, sleep.

Tessa: Okay. I’m pretty tired.

Mariah: Yes. Yes, you are.

Nikki: Well, I trust the newlyweds had a good night after all the festivities.

Victoria: Oh, yes, couldn’t have asked for anything more. But now it’s all over and everybody’s heading home.

Ashland: Saying goodbye to harrison was a lot harder than i thought it would be.

Victoria: He has grown so much and so quickly.

Ashland: Yeah, I can’t believe how excited he was to get back to his new life in milan. He seemed sincerely happy with summer and kyle.

Nikki: Well, I’m so glad they could all be here.

Victor: Well, I must say, families coming together on occasions like this makes it all worthwhile, doesn’t it?

Victoria: It was perfect, and I have you and mom to thank for that. It couldn’t have happened without you. It was such a magical time for both of us.

Ashland: Couldn’t agree more.

Victor: Now, your mother deserves the lion’s share of the praise. I just kept the wolves at bay.

Victoria: Well, from what i hear, that was no small effort.

Nikki: I’m just glad that billy and that gaines fellow were prevented from ruining your big day.

Victor: I’m gonna get some more juice. Excuse me.

Victoria: Daddy.

Victor: Yes.

Victoria: You know, I meant what I said. I appreciate everything you did to make sure that my wedding went very smoothly, but today’s a new day and I want to know the whole story.

Victor: Nothing to worry about. It’s all been handled.

Victoria: That man, he was hell-bent on getting revenge on my husband, so I need to know exactly how he was handled and if he’ll need to be handled again.

Lily: Hey. You’re awake already? What’s wrong? You didn’t sleep well?

Billy: [ Sighs ] I didn’t sleep at all. After you fell asleep, I went for a walk. And I ran into victor.

Lily: Oh, god, what happened?

Billy: Let’s just say playtime is over. Time to man the battle stations. The old man has openly declared war on me and chanccomm.

Lily: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: I can’t believe it. Sally pulled off the fashion coup of the decade.

Kevin: Congratulations. You were right to sign off on her plan. This is going to put newman media’s fashion platform on the map. Hey, lauren, michael, check the —

Lauren: I tried to warn you, chloe. Sally spectra cannot be trusted. Have you seen what she’s done now? She’s back to her old tricks, showing no loyalty to her new bosses at newman media. She cares about no one — no one but herself.

[ Sighs ]

Sally: Morning.

Adam: Nothing like waking up under the beautiful tuscan sky. Hope you slept well.

Sally: Well, I got a lot more rest than I would’ve if we were to have spent the night together.

Phyllis: Oh. Wow, okay, you’re packing. You can’t wait to get out of here.

Nick: Yeah, sorry if I woke you up.

Phyllis: Uh, no. But, I mean, I’m glad you did because I guess I have to get up and pack. When are we heading out?

Nick: Yeah, uh, change of plans. I’m not going back to genoa city.

Chloe: Lauren, slow down. Exactly what have you heard?

Michael: I made the innocent mistake of showing lauren a photo someone posted from the wedding. I had no idea it would set off this firestorm.

Lauren: Yes, well, my designer designed the most beautiful wedding dress for victoria — one shoulder, with pleating. It was incredible, except that wasn’t the wedding dress that victoria walked down the aisle in. And then I start seeing all this social media buzz, and ah! Sally spectra’s name starts popping up as designer.

Kevin: Huh. Imagine that.

Lauren: And I am so sorry that you’re having to deal with this so soon in your new position, but I did warn you about that woman.

Chloe: Yes, yes, that is true, but I can’t exactly be mad at sally for this.

Lauren: You would put up with that kind of behavior from an employee?

Chloe: Well, I kind of have to put up with it because i already knew what she was planning.

Lauren: You were in on it?

Sally: Jack. I was just thanking adam for bringing me here. This crazy trip really paid off. I know you made it clear last night that you weren’t impressed, but getting victoria to wear that wedding dress was a major coup.

Jack: I don’t think that’s any of my business.

Sally: Okay, well, guess i better finish packing. I’ll be ready for our flight home whenever you are.

Adam: I hope you know that sally is and has always been just a friend.

Jack: You don’t owe me any explanation.

Adam: Well, I don’t know where things stand between you two right now, but if you’re interested, I’m not standing in your way.

Jack: Oh, that ship sailed long ago. But I get the distinct sense there’s something going on between you two, so a word of caution — stop kidding yourself. Be careful. Remember what they said about playing with fire.

Victor: Let me just say we just neutralized the threat, okay?

Victoria: Well, I guess you had no choice but to go to those lengths. I just want you to know that we both really appreciate what you did.

Victor: Well, there’s someone else you should express your gratitude to.

Victoria: I’ve already thanked mom. I know, she’s been very supportive through all of this.

Victor: No, that’s not who I’m talking about. It may surprise you to learn that adam had a lot to do with keeping this event from becoming a disaster.

Victoria: You’re right. I am surprised.

Victor: Adam saved your wedding.

Phyllis: I mean, I know you’re having issues with your family, but don’t tell me you’re moving to milan with summer and never coming back to genoa city.

Nick: No, it’s nothing like that. Of course I’ll be coming back home, you know, at some point. I’m just gonna go spend a few days in the uk with noah.

Phyllis: Okay, that sounds great.

Nick: Yeah, he needed to get to london, so I chartered us a jet.

Phyllis: So I’m going back home to genoa city by myself. Okay.

Nick: Uh, i mean, you could come with us, if you want.

Phyllis: If I want. No, it’s — it’s — it’s fine. I have to get back to work, you know? It’s really busy at the hotel, and sort of hands-on — my hands in particular.

Nick: Yeah, I can see why you got to get back home. Honestly, I’m looking forward to some extra time with noah, but I’ll be home soon, I promise.

Phyllis: What? Are we okay?

Nick: [ Sighs ] Did you know some deodorants may not last all day?

Nick: What are you talking about? Of course we’re — we’re fine. I just — you know, I got a lot to sort out in my head, and spending some time with noah, getting away from the newman steamroller that I like to call my family will do me some good.

Phyllis: Well, I agree. That’s great that you’re spending time with your son. You should do that, definitely. But as far as we go, I just felt like something has been off, even before this whole london thing.

Nick: Like what?

Phyllis: I don’t know, i can’t put my finger on it. It’s just sort of added tension between us.

[ Sighs ] Jack called me crazy for even thinking that way, but…

Nick: You talked to jack about this?

Phyllis: Yeah, I did. And he said I was wrong, and i don’t agree with him anyway, I just think that we’re at a — a place in our relationship that’s sort of… tricky, you know? Either it’s gonna go forward, it’s gonna work out, or everything is gonna fall apart.

Nick: Come on. I think you’re being too dramatic. We’re not falling apart.

Phyllis: Okay.

Nick: It’s just a complicated, frustrating couple of weeks for me. Alright, that’s not on you. Like I told my dad, no good deed goes unpunished. And it doesn’t matter how many times I’ve been through this, the lesson never seems to sink in. And this time has to be different.

Lily: Look, I’m not surprised by victor’s threat. I mean, even though adam said no battle lines are being drawn, you know, victor’s been dying to come after chanccomm.

Billy: This was different. It was like the timer’s about to go off on his ongoing game of intimidation and he’s about ready to hit the ignition button.

Lily: Okay, well, victor is the master at these kind of ploys, alright? Maybe he’s just trying to raise the threat level to throw you off your game. I mean, look, he has you so rattled, you can’t even sleep.

Billy: I’m not intimidated. Freshly motivated to be prepared. And we need to go through all the scenarios because when they come after us, we need to defend against them.

Lily: Well, I bet you’ll think twice the next time you consider bringing a blackmailer to a destination wedding. Okay, what are you looking for?

Billy: Gaines said that if we didn’t publish the video exposing ashland’s crimes, he was going to do it. And if he follows through on his threat, victoria’s honeymoon will be over before it even begins.

Adam: So, how did it feel waking up as newlyweds?

Ashland: Unbelievable. I think I’m more in love and happier today than I was before the wedding.

Victoria: I didn’t think it was possible, but I am, too.

Adam: Well, thank you again for including me.

Victor: You know, seeing the two of you put your differences aside makes me very happy.

Nikki: Well, weddings bring out the best in people.

Victoria: Adam, I understand that I owe you my gratitude.

Adam: Mm. What makes you think that?

Victoria: Well, apparently you saved my wedding.

Adam: Mm. I was just trying to fit into the family. Families look out for each other, right?

Victoria: I guess you might be right about that.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, look at us, we’re acting civilly and thinking of each other. What is to become of the world?

Victor: Well, maybe there’s hope for the newman family unity yet. Right, my darling?

If you have this…

Phyllis: You know, I want to agree with you when you talk about your family and your assessment toward your family. I want to, but you take issue with it.

Nick: Right. Uh, again, I’m sorry about that. The issue is not with you, okay? I’m just dealing with some very complex feelings about my family right now.

Phyllis: I know. I know you are. I don’t want to create drama. I don’T. I just want to help you.

Nick: Did you, uh, go to jack about that, too, you know, for advice? Did, uh — was it awkward for him at all?

Phyllis: Jack is a confidant. I mean, I trust him. He just wants me to be happy. He wants — he really wants us to be happy.

Nick: You think he’s the best person to go to?

Phyllis: Okay, well, i couldn’t find you, and I just had to vent to somebody and he was there. You know, I was outnumbered by newmans.

[ Chuckles ] No offense.

[ Knock on door ]

Noah: Hey, you two.

Nick: Hey.

Noah: Got my bags packed, ready to go. Family’s downstairs. Guess we should go say some goodbyes, yeah?

Nick: I think it’s best if we just take off.

Noah: Yeah, dad, I hate that you feel this way about victoria and grandpa, but I get where it’s coming from.

Nick: Glad you understand.

Noah: Phyllis, you gonna fly out with us?

Phyllis: Uh, no. I love london. I’d love to go, but I have to get back to the hotel.

Nick: Well, I’m definitely ready to take off.

Noah: I still want to say some goodbyes. You know, and there is someone you should at least let know that you’re leaving.

Chloe: I knew this was going to come up sooner or later. I was just hoping for later.

Lauren: You owe me an explanation, and now.

Chloe: Here’s the thing. I didn’t know that sally’s plan would actually work. Somehow she got it into her head that she could design the most perfect dress for victoria’s wedding.

Lauren: You know what the problem with that is? She had already hired my top designer for the job.

Chloe: I know, and no offense to the original dress or the designer, she just had this vision, and so she made a bold attempt to pitch her own dress. And of course, victoria wouldn’t even meet with her.

Lauren: Well, of course she wouldn’t, after what she did to summer, victoria’s niece.

Chloe: No, exactly, so sally went a little extreme and she decided to have the dress made on her own, intending to show victoria the dress before she left for the wedding, but then victoria decided to leave early for italy, so sally decided to follow her there.

Lauren: And you didn’t try and stop her?

Chloe: No, I told her that it was a bad idea, but I mean, there was just no stopping her once her mind is made up. And I guess she somehow got to victoria and convinced her to wear her design. Victoria must have just been blown away by the dress.

Michael: Oh, oh, what do you know?

Kevin: Well, look, sally’s got guts. You have to at least give her credit for that.

Michael: It’s kind of an amusing twist.

Lauren: Is it? Is it amusing? Because, you know, the part that I don’t find amusing is the fact that you’re glossing over a very salient point.

Chloe: And what point is that?

Lauren: You betrayed me.

Jack: Wow, you look as bad as I feel.

Phyllis: Oh. What’s bringing you down?

Jack: I’m just sad to be leaving this beautiful country.

Phyllis: Really? Well, this beautiful country has lost a little bit of its magic for me. Do you have room in the jabot jet? Because it looks like I’m flying solo back to genoa city.

Jack: Well, of course you’re welcome to join me on the jet, but I hope this change of travel plans doesn’t mean things got worse between you and nick. On the outside, I looked fine.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Victoria: No, I swear, I had no idea who was standing where. I just turned my back and i tossed the bouquet.

Ashland: Leslie brooks looked as if she had a hot potato in her hands.

Victoria: I thought for a minute she was gonna throw it back.

[ Laughter ]

Nikki: She was lucky that sally spectra wasn’t standing closer to her because that woman would’ve knocked her to the ground to get that bouquet.

Victor: Noah, come join us.

Noah: I’d like to, grandpa, but I actually got to get going. I just want to say goodbye to everyone.

Nikki: Oh.

Victoria: So soon?

Noah: I’m sorry, I got to get back to london, but congratulations again to both of you, really.

Ashland: Thank you.

Noah: Before I go, can I talk to you?

Nikki: Oh, yeah, sure.

Noah: I just wanted to let you know that dad and I are leaving together. He didn’t want to stir things up again by saying bye to auntie vick or grandpa.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] That makes me so sad. I wish he could patch things up.

Noah: He does want to say bye to you, though.

Nikki: Well, good, because i want to see him, too. Thank you, honey. I’ll be right back. Hold on.

Noah: So, adam, I was pleasantly surprised you didn’t wreak any of your usual havoc.

Adam: Well, sometimes havoc can be overrated. Besides, I like to keep people on their toes.

[ Knock on door ]

Nikki: Nicholas?

Nick: Hey, mom.

Nikki: Hey.

Nick: Well, I sure hope you had a good time and a very safe trip home.

Nikki: Okay, let’s not ignore the elephant in the room. I know you’re very upset with your father. I have no idea where things stand between you and victoria, but I really hate to see this rift in the family.

Nick: Yeah, me too.

Nikki: You missed the ceremony, and now noah tells me that you feel like just slipping away without saying goodbye to anybody.

Nick: Well, mom, with the way things are, it’s for the best. I can’t imagine any encounter not turning into an argument or into something negative.

Nikki: You don’t know that.

Nick: Mom, I just want victoria to have happy memories of her wedding trip, okay? There doesn’t need to be any more harsh words between us.

Nikki: What about your father?

Nick: Well, you know my issues with him. They’re nothing new. I’m just at the end of my rope with him.

Nikki: But, nicholas, you can’t just write him off.

Nick: I cannot stand the way he is constantly pitting the kids against each other. I’m over it. As far as vick is concerned, she’s made her stance, and i don’t know if we’re gonna be able to fix things. I don’t know if we’ll ever be able to do that.

Nikki: Nicholas, of course you can. I mean, we’ve been through much worse than this and have always been able to get past it.

Nick: I love your optimism, but I’m not the one you need to convince.

Lily: Nope, nothing. Nothing about gaines’ video or ashland’s past, just coverage of the wedding.

Billy: I don’t get it. I mean, it really doesn’t make any sense to me. Why would he change his mind after he threatened us to publish the story on his own? He is a man set on revenge. So much so that he gave us a ticking clock deadline.

Lily: Well, you heard what ashland said. I mean, gaines backed down.

Billy: I take anything ashland says with a grain of salt.

Lily: Okay, well, I’m just happy that we didn’t post that story, so now we can just forget about it and move on.

Billy: I’m not so sure about that. If we would’ve posted that story, at least we would’ve controlled the narrative.

Lily: Okay, well, there’s 1,000 reasons not to. One of them is that you deleted the evidence.

Billy: Oh, well, there’s a lot more evidence where that comes from, and we know that it’s true because he admitted it himself.

Lily: Okay, what about the most important reason, that you could permanently damage the relationship with the mother of your children?

Billy: I know. There is a lot to consider, and I think I need a little bit of fresh italian air. Gonna go for a walk, find some clarity on the situation.

Lily: Okay.

Sally: Safe travels.

Noah: Thanks.

Sally: Where’s phyllis, waiting in the car? Have you smushed her into one of your bags?

Nick: Phyllis is flying separately.

Sally: Oh, that’s a shame. Hopefully there’s not trouble in paradise. She didn’t dump a bucket of ice on you, too, did she?

Adam: You guys taking off? Well, safe travels. Sally and I, we’re gonna be heading out soon.

Victor: If you all don’t mind, I would like a word with nicholas alone.

Lauren: Chloe, I just cannot believe that you would condone sally doing something so underhanded. That woman has been nothing but trouble since she stepped foot in this town.

Michael: I don’t think anyone at this table can throw stones when it comes to underhanded behavior.

Lauren: Yes, yes, I know that, and some of us have lived to regret that. Sally regrets nothing.

Chloe: I hope you’re not implying that I am like sally, because I never did anything underhanded. First of all, I had no idea that victoria was going to wear the dress. I thought it was a long shot. I just assumed it was never going to happen, but it did. And I can’t say that I’m sorry for that.

Lauren: Ah, so you’re fine with her stabbing me in the back.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] Lauren, I’m trying to run a business. And of all people, I would hope that you would understand that. Victoria wearing sally’s dress could make newman media’s fashion division a household name.

Lauren: And that justifies not telling me, a trusted family member? Oh, and not to mention fenmore’s takes a hit.

Chloe: Could you please just try to see this from my side?

Lauren: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: Nothing is going to happen to your business or your legacy. Fenmore’s is already a hallowed institution, and your designer is going to make many beautiful dresses this year, but sally and I, we really, really needed this moment in the spotlight.

Lauren: You still should’ve told me what you and sally were up to.

Chloe: You’re right. You’re right, you’re right. I should’ve told you, and i messed up. And for that, I am sorry.

Lauren: You should be.

Michael: [ Clears throat ]

Chloe: I really blew it with lauren.

Kevin: Yep, you sure did.

Chloe: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: It’s fine, just nick wanted to go back to london with noah. He wanted to spend some time with him, you know, probably get away from his family. It’s fine, there’s no crisis between us. It’s good.

Jack: Good.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Jack: Glad to hear it.

Phyllis: Yeah, and I took your advice, I didn’t look for trouble. So everything is good between us.

Jack: Well, whatever the reason, I am happy to have the company on the trip home. It was going to be a long, lonely trip back to genoa city by myself. I already miss kyle and summer and harrison and…

Phyllis: So do I.

Nick: You know what, dad? Whatever it is you want to talk about, let’s do it at home. I don’t have time right now.

Victor: Son, I don’t want to leave things like this between us, okay? I’m sure you have a few minutes.

Nick: Well, you never should have let it get this far in the first place.

Adam: Sally, will you please excuse me? I need to have a private word with my dad.

Sally: Of course.

Victor: Sit down, son.

Adam: Look, nick will come around. He’s predictable that way.

Victor: I don’t want to talk about nicholas, okay? More pressing issues to deal with.

Adam: Okay. I’m game. What’s next on the agenda?

Victor: Billy boy abbott and chanccomm. When we get back home, we’re going to mount a full-scale attack on chanccomm. We will crush it, then pick up the pieces.

Adam: Mm-hmm, I know why you want to do this.

Victor: And don’t tell me this is the wrong time.

Adam: I just hope you’ve considered the potential ramifications.

Victor: That’s why I made the decision. Billy boy abbott almost ruined this wonderful wedding. He went after ashland locke for things ashland committed a lifetime ago. Ashland is now my son-in-law, and as such, he is a member of our family. Anyone attacks him, he attacks all of us. Now, if you’re a full-fledged member of our family, you will think of a line of attack.

Adam: I know that I’ve been opposed to this battle in the past, but it’s officially over.

Victor: That’s what I wanted to hear. This time, I want billy boy to know that we’re coming after him. In fact, I’ve already warned him.

Adam: Don’t worry. You can count on me 100%.

Itchy?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Sally: Hey, did you get the photos I sent?

Chloe: Yes. Congratulations. But I didn’t need to see your photos to know what happened. There are shots of victoria in your dress all over the internet.

Sally: Oh, my god, she looked stunning. Everybody just loved it. I swear I heard the whole room collectively gasp when she made her entrance.

Chloe: I got to give it to you, it was an amazing score, and not just for you but for our platform.

Sally: Well, even the haters had to admit how gorgeous she looked, and the photos did not do it justice.

Kevin: Tell her why you called.

Chloe: Uh, sally, um… there’s something I need to talk to you about.

Sally: Can we do it when i land? I have to go right now or I risk missing my ride, but I will call you as soon as we land.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] I chickened out.

Kevin: I know.

Chloe: I just — I couldn’t do it. She had to go, and I just didn’t have the heart to bring her down to earth by telling her that lauren is out for blood.

[ Sighs ]

Lauren: Can you believe the nerve of that woman? Who does she think she is? And more importantly, who does she think that she’s messing with? She’s not gonna get away with this, and chloe — ugh! Don’t even get me started on chloe.

Michael: Alright, alright, listen to me.

[ Clears throat ] You are not doing yourself any favors by rehashing this over and over.

Lauren: So you think I’m wrong to be upset about this.

Michael: No. But maybe you’re being a little too hard on chloe. She’s ambitious. She got carried away. She lost sight of things, but i don’t think she meant to hurt you.

Lauren: I get that, I do, and that’s why eventually I will forgive her. But sally, that is a different story altogether. It has been one catastrophe after another. What is it going to take to stop her? Because this is not going to end unless somebody does something.

Adam: Well, there you go. Maybe people are warming up to your charms.

Sally: To be honest, the only person that I am interested in winning over right now… is you.

Adam: [ Breathing heavily ] Sally, I can’t do this with you. I’m sorry. I can’T. I’m not — I’m not ready for this.

Sally: Ready for what? Look, I told you that I’m looking for any sort of commitment, okay? “What happens in tuscany” sort of thing. I won’t even flirt with you when we get back to the office, i swear.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] You must be on top of the world. Ready to head back, reap the glory of your big success?

Sally: More than readY. It’s just the beginning.

Phyllis: Hey. Hey.

Nick: Hi.

Phyllis: I thought you’d left.

Nick: Yeah, I wanted us to have a proper goodbye.

Phyllis: Alright. Well, you left so abruptly, i didn’t think it really mattered.

Nick: Can you please stop worrying and overthinking this, alright? I just need a couple days to work some stuff out. It’s gonna be fine.

Phyllis: Alright. Then can we go back to the happy, carefree couple that we’ve been?

Nick: Absolutely.

Phyllis: Alright. Have a good trip with your son.

Nick: Okay.

Lily: Hey. You have to start packing. We have to get going. But where were you anyway?

Billy: I just overheard victor and adam planning all-out war against chanccomm. Lily, they’re coming after us, fast and hard.

Lily: Yeah, well, victor already told you they were doing that, so did you hear what they were planning?

Billy: Only that they’re planning on throwing the full weight of the newman family against us.

Lily: That doesn’t sound good.

Billy: There’s only one way to protect ourselves.

Lily: What?

Billy: We need to strike first, because the best defense is a massive offense.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] It really was a glorious week, wasn’t it?

Ashland: It surpassed my high expectations.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Now we get to begin a new chapter of our lives. It’s time to get back to reality and all of the challenges that come with it. I’m ready.

Ashland: I am, too. Bring on the next round of treatments. And if they don’t work, I’ll find newer and stronger courses of action. Whatever it takes, because i want — no, i need more time with you.

Victoria: I think that’s the most beautiful thing that you’ve ever said to me.

Ashland: I am determined now that nothing — nothing — will get in our way or slow us down. Together, we are an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. Get ready. My new wife and I are about to conquer the world.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Donna was so excited to play with her…nephew. Wow, that’s weird. That is so strange.

[ Both laugh ] I’m surprised michael didn’t bring him by. He’s the one that set the whole thing up. Oh, he wanted to. He — he had an important meeting this morning. Okay, well, can you stay for some coffee? Uh, s-sure. I can stay for a while, yeah. It would actually be nice to talk. Oh, yeah? About anything in particular? Michael. And nina. It’s so great having you here, phyllis. I’m really glad that you’re giving yourself this time. Mm. Eventually, I’m gonna have to face nixon falls again and figure out what my life looks like without lenny. But a few more days away couldn’t hurt. When you go back to nixon falls, are you sure that you don’t want to rebuild the tan-o? The bar was my life with lenny. I don’t have the heart to do it without him. Then why go back? Why don’t you stay in port charles and let me help you?

[ Sighs ] Not hungry?

[ Sighs ] Just tired. I’m not surprised. You were tossing and turning all night. Sorry if I kept you up. It’s okay. Spencer’s your son. Of course you’re worried sick about him. He may not agree, ava, but he’s still just a kid. And he’s facing jail time. Yeah, for some pretty terrible crimes. I know, and I’m not suggesting that he should walk away with no consequences. It’s just — we offered him a way out. All he has to do is take it. Esme: Spence! Are you all right? Was it awful spending the night in jail? Uh, did you get any sleep? Yes, yes, and not much. Have you given any more thought to ava’s deal? There is no way that I will be beholden to ava jerome, okay? There has to be another option. Nicole diaz, the public defender assigned to your case. Nice to meet you, ms. Diaz.

[ Sighs ] Give me just one second to get up to speed. Mm-hmm. Phew. Mm. Right. I think we have a real shot here. In all likelihood, the judge will move to dismiss. Really? That’s amazing news. Well, no one actually saw you deface the garage, so it’s pretty open and shut. Garage? What are you talking about? Sparky carraway, destruction of private property. No, I’m spencer cassadine. Harassment and criminal mischief. Oops. Wrong file. Give me just one second. So, I’m, uh, expecting an update from candace about austin’s lawsuit, and I’ll let you know where we are once I talk to her. Mm-hmm. Well, there might not be a lawsuit anymore. What? Since when? I take it you didn’t hear about the brook lynn drama? No?

[ Sighs ] Oh, I thought you’d have been at the office by now. No, I chose to work at home today. Oh, well, I’ll leave you to it, then. Excuse me. Olivia? Wait. If we keep avoiding each other, how are we gonna fix things? I just need a little space right now.

[ Doorbell rings ] I’ll get it. Hey, sweetheart. Hi. Come on in. Is brook lynn home? I need to talk to her about austin. Does anybody want to fill me in on what brook lynn did? Brook lynn: What? Nobody else did? I gave us our best shot at keeping austin out of elq and this family.

[ Phone ringing in distance, indistinct conversations ] Dr. Gatlin-holt. Don’t shoot. You’re not sup– I know. I’m not supposed to be here, and I promise you that I won’t see any of my patients in person. I just wanted to make sure the ms. Patel was getting all of her fluids. Dr. Chen is covering your patients while you’re on suspension. Suspension. Right. All thanks to brook lynn’s games. I’m so sorry I couldn’t get you a high-profile attorney. It’s not your fault. I swear, I tried everything. Kevin refuses to help, and I can’t get in touch with your grandmother. I spoke to my trust manager, but he wouldn’t advance the money when he found out what the charges were. Uncle sonny. Thank god. You’re not here to help me, are you? Uh, yeah, I am, but you’re — you’re not gonna like how.

Mr. Corinthos, I’m so grateful that you came and that you didn’t abandon spence like everyone else. We’re gonna need a minute alone — spence and I. No, that’s okay. You don’t have to go. Talk to your uncle. I’ll be waiting outside. Um, I-I just want you to know how sorry I am for my part in the whole “nikolas and ava taking avery out of the country” misunderstanding. I’m very clear on, uh, you know, what you tried to do. I was trying to help. You have the wrong idea about esme. Yeah, apparently, I had the wrong idea about you. You want to go after ava, that’s up to you. Be my guest. But don’t you use… a child to do it. Especially… my child. It wasn’t me. I read brook lynn’s allegations. Pretty sensational, don’t you think? Are you saying she’s lying? Brook lynn is manipulating me. She claims to be concerned about leo, which should have been my first clue because that woman doesn’t care about anything but herself. Well, I’m afraid I have to disagree with you. Brook lynn has moments of selfishness, but, then, who doesn’t? But she cares very deeply for her family. Yeah, so deeply, she set me up.

[ Breathes deeply ] Loyalty is very big with the quartermaines. Do I always agree with the way they display it? Well… but there is a definite “us against them” mind-set. Okay. Are you included in all that? “Amendment to the trust of spencer cassadine.” Are you positive you want to do this? Whether or not spencer agrees to our conditions, placing you in charge of his trust — it sends the message that you and I are a united front. And that I’m not going anywhere. That’s right — not on my watch. And if I c ontrolspencer’s money, then he can’t ignore me. He can’t be so disrespectful. And I won’t be able to cave to him. Not that you would. I’d like to believe that I could stand firm, but I don’t trust myself. Part of the reason this is all happening now is because of all the times that I gave in to spencer when he was a child. Well, I’m happy to play “bad cop,” but spencer was pretty adamant that he wouldn’t buckle, remember? Well, this is happening whether he wants it to or not, and spencer doesn’t get a choice about accepting you as my wife. If he refuses, he’s basically sending himself to jail. Right, and spencer knows the terms. If he can actively support our marriage, then I won’t cooperate, I won’t testify against him, and the prosecution’s case is dead in the water. Which is extremely generous, given everything spencer put you through.

[ Sighs ] Do you think he’ll swallow his pride?

[ Sighs ] Well, for his sake and yours, I sure hope so. Sonny: What do you mean? You didn’t use avery to scare ava? No, I did. I just mean that I wasn’t myself. I became so focused on punishing ava, getting her out of my father’s life, that I went too far. What are the two rules? You never threaten children or your family. What? You never threaten children or your family! Avery’s both. You know I would never hurt her, uncle sonny. I don’t care if it’s implied or real. You crossed a line. I’m sorry. You know all these allegations against me. People think that I supposedly did crimes. Why do you think I’m — I’m — I’m still standing a free man? Diane miller? No. ‘Cause I have a code that I stick by, that I live by. When I’m going after somebody, I make sure I don’t get caught. You, on the other hand, are playing these little games. And you got yourself busted. So now you got to face the consequences. Wait, so hold on — so you — you tricked austin into breaking his patient-doctor confidentiality. You turned him in, and now you’re threatening his medical license unless he drops the claim on elq. Yes, and I don’t know why I’m getting so much static over it. I definitely would have used a different tactic. Yeah, a way less effective tactic, dad. Maxie: [ Sighs ] Okay, brook lynn, I’m not gonna tell you what to do — but you’re about to tell me what to do? No, I’m going to give you my opinion, which is that austin is genuinely a good guy…

[ Scoffs ] …And he legitimately cares about leo. Olivia: Wrong! Austin is not a good guy, and his opinions about leo are way off-base. Now, would I like to have him out of the family? Yes, I would. But I really would have preferred if he was caught running his mouth about literally anyone other than my son, because now this whole thing with leo is gonna be a great big deal. And leo is fine just the way he is. Would it really be that bad if austin got his share of the inheritance?

[ Sighs ] I mean, from what I can see, it looks like there’s more than enough money to go around. That’s not the point, maxie. The point, which I have said over and over again, is that my great-grandfather edward quartermaine purposely left jimmy lee holt out of his will. Okay? It doesn’t matter that he was thinking about reconsidering — none of those thoughts ever made it into an official document. None of those thoughts were ever signed or filed or probated, so austin is going after money that isn’t his. And to make things worse, he’s hiding behind some sob story about honoring the wishes of his late father when all he cares about is getting those shares. You’re awfully quiet over there. What do you think?

I heard you on the phone this morning. Were you checking on spencer?

[ Sighs ] I must have second-guessed myself a dozen times last night. I just couldn’t stand the thought of spencer in that cell. But he’s been coddled too long. Well, you know I agree. And I also understand, nikolas. Raising a son who lost his mother… it’s — it’s terribly complicated. Yeah, something I can relate to all too well. You just want to give your son all the love that you didn’t get from laura when you were a child, right?

[ Sighs ] But it shouldn’t have translated to giving him anything he wanted, but it did, which in turn led spencer to the dangerous impression that he’s the center of the universe. I have to do better. With you by my side, I will. I’ll see you at the arraignment. Yeah, of course, but wait — wait. Where are you going? Wait.

[ Sighs ] Monica, correct me if I’m wrong, but you do seem a little different from the quartermaines. More… yeah, I’m not — I’m not sure the word for it — sane.

[ Laughs ] Well, it has taken me years to find my place in that family. And not just as alan’s wife, but as me, as an individual. Because let’s face it — the quartermaines can be huge pains in the butt. Yeah, I’ve seen it many times. And especially when it comes to elq. That company is really family, in so many ways. Yeah, my dad saw that. He always said that he felt like a small-town hick by comparison. But he was edward’s son, and he deserves to be recognized, and if they want to play dirty, bring it on. Uh, did your father want you to be in business as opposed to medicine? My dad just wanted me to be happy. Are you? I was. Really, truly, before all this drama and infighting. Well, then, I have a question for you. If you knew how the quartermaines operate and you didn’t like the way they operate, why did you come knocking on our door? If you’re concerned about michael, I want to hear about it. Oh, I know. But after all the pain and heartache nina caused your family — hey, our family. You’re just as much a part of our family as anyone. Thank you. Yeah. I guess all I’m saying is I’d understand if you didn’t want to talk about her. Oh, well, I don’T. But nina’s not going anywhere, and, uh, I want to know what’s going on, so… is she hounding michael about wiley? Are you guys afraid she’s gonna do something? Actually, I’m more worried about what michael might do. I think that you used a smart strategy. Thank you. Finally, someone who sees some reason. Look, austin — he came at us, and you found where he was vulnerable. It’s better than us just railing at the guy. I mean, look, austin has a big ego. He gave his opinion on something that he has no authority to give his opinion on. That’s his weakness, and you — you targeted it. I mean, I’m — I’m impressed. Gold star for me. Oh, my god. I’m gonna check on leo.

[ Sighs ]

[ Doorbell rings ] I’ll get it.

[ Sighs ]

[ Birds chirping ] Have to admit, I didn’t expect you to come to the door yourself. Yeah, I don’t really, uh, stand on ceremony. I’m more interested in getting things done. I like the way you think. Nice to finally meet you, mr. Corinthos. Mm. Same here, mr. Sheridan. Thank you for making the trip from pennsylvania. Lenny and I settled in nixon falls because it was lenny’s hometown. Everything there reminds me of him. Yeah, I get it. But port charles has a lot to offer, and sonny’s here, and I’m sure he’d want you to stay, too. I wasn’t gonna bring him up, but now that you have, how did your talk go? Were you able to clear the air at all? I didn’t think you left anything unsaid when we ran into each other at the cemetery. Yeah, uh… yeah, I did, but then you surprised me. How so? You showed up at the quartermaines’. Carly saw you. You were visiting wiley. That didn’t make her happy. Oh, and you think that I’m afraid of carly? I thought you knew me better than that. You’re not going to be happy in port charles for very long. I know exactly where I stand with sonny. You got to understand something — I care enough about you that I want you to learn.

[ Scoffs ] I already know the lesson. People leave.

[ Sighs ] Your dad was wrong in making you think that he was dead, but there’s nothing you can do about that. You can’t change that. You know what you can change? Is how you move forward. So you need to stand up and decide who you want to be. What does that mean? Do you want to be the guy who owns his mistakes or do you want to be the guy who’s waiting for his father to write a check so he can be rescued? Yeah, except I don’t have that. God, I’m so stupid. Yo u know, I thought thatmy dad would side with me. That he loved me enough that, when push came to shove, he would pick me over ava. He didn’T. That hurts, right?

It’s a terrible thing when you — when a parent that you love is — is addicted to something and he — he chooses it over you. That’s what happened to — to my dad… god rest his soul. He loved me a lot and.. but he’d walk away anytime he could to bet on the horses. I know your — your dad’s not a gambler, but he’s addicted to ava. They think they’re in love. Yeah, right. And I-I know it’s heartbreaking when you can’t count on your father. It’S… but that’s the reality that you’re, uh, living in. And you know what? You violated the code. So I can’t bail you out. Not this time. What did you do to spencer? Well, I was just making sure that he was listening to some hard truths. Now it’s your turn. I thought you gave up on me. Would I be standing here if I’d given up on you? You tell me. You know, as the da of llantano county, it’s not often I make house calls to port charles. No, I bet not. But when I heard about your potential and sizable donation to my campaign… you deemed it worth a trip. I did. Tell me — what’s your interest in a pennsylvania election? Well, let’s talk in the den. For the record, I will be thrilled when austin is out of our lives. But…? But if he ends up getting fired… you’re worried about leo. Yes, I’m worried the message that he might be on the autism spectrum gets drowned out. And then what? And then what, what? You’re talking about leo, aren’t you?

[ Sighs ] You see, th– this is what I hate — all these little — little hush-hush, secret conversations about the non-problem that is my son. Why — why can’t you hear me on this, ned? I hear you. I just don’t agree with you. I think it’s time we talked divorce.

[ Doorbell rings ] Wait — what?

[ Door opens ]

[ Gasps ] Dad.

[ Scoffs ]

[ Sighs ] Oh, my god, just when I thought the day couldn’t get worse. Olivia, we need to talk about this. Hi. Hi. I have an answer for you. Michael is justifiably worried that nina will want to be in wiley’s life. And she will. Maybe. Probably, but she hasn’t come to us yet, and I just feel like why provoke the fight until we absolutely have to? How does michael feel? We talked it over, and he says he’s on the same page, but… I don’t know. I think he might be holding back. I think, in his heart of hearts, he wants to take action and make nina pay. As he should. I don’t disagree, carly. Okay? I am furious with nina. Part of me wants to haul off and slap her for showing up at the house for that last visit with wiley. I would have loved to have seen that.

[ Sighs ] When I think about all the lies she told — how she was there at sonny’s funeral, watching everyone grieve? It was hateful. But, carly, what good does it do to incite a big, ugly battle that won’t help anyone? Here’s the thing, willow. Just because nina hasn’t done anything yet doesn’t mean she won’T. Phyllis: Port charle s is lovely,don’t get me wrong, but what would I do here? Mm. Get a job at the hospital? Mnh, no. I enjoy being my own boss too much. Yeah. Ava: Woman after my own heart.

[ Chuckling ] Hi. Hi, nina. Hi. I’m nina’s friend. I’m ava cassadine. You — you must be phyllis? That’s me. Nice. Oh, it’s so nice — can I have a chair? It’s so nice to finally meet you. Mm. Uh, not a lot of people can say that they bossed sonny corinthos around.

[ Laughs ] It’s hard to imagine him as a busboy. Bartender. Whatever. Mike — sonny — was more than an employee. He was my friend. He still is.

[ Sighs ] That’s so nice. He’s lucky to have you. Mm. I am just fascinated by this other life in nixon falls. Ava here owns the jerome gallery and charlie’s pub. Oh, really? Yeah. For now, anyway. What do you mean by that? I put charlie’s on the market when I was planning to leave town. Oh, that’s right. Now she’s staying put. Yeah, staying put. But I’m just not sure if I’m gonna keep it. Have you been there, to the pub? Mnh-mnh, I haven’T. I hope you come by. I think you’d like it.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Gasps ] Excuse me. I need to take this. Oh, yeah. Phyllis caulfield… what are you doing?! I’m gathering information. For what?! I’m gonna ask sonny for joint custody of avery, and knowledge is power. No, no, no. You said that you weren’t going to take advantage of my relationship with mike. We just talked about this. Sorry about that. Oh, that’s okay.

[ Chuckling ] That’s okay. You know, ’cause ava here, she has to leave. She has someplace she really needs to be. Yes, I do. Hi — hi, sonny.

[ Breathes sharply ]

I would never give up on you, spencer. I know this is partially my fault, and I want to fix it. Fix it? As in I’m broken? Is that what ava told you? Is that why you threw me away? Stop blaming ava and take some damn responsibility! You know what she said to me? That you are giving her control of my trust fund. Open your eyes, father! See your wife for who she really is! How are you, phyllis? You like the city? It’s great, ain’t it? It’s a beautiful city. If you need anything, you just call me, and I mean anything. Thank you, sonny. Come on, ava. Okay. You alright? Yeah. I’ve accepted the fact that mike doesn’t exist and that I mean nothing to sonny corinthos. Well, that was a little awkward. Yeah, well, we’re here for avery. Yes, right, um… well, what I wanted to tell you is that while you were away, avery got used to seeing me every single day. Until you left her with carly. Yeah, well, I did that — I did that for her own protection. Well, I have no intention of keeping avery from you. You don’t? No. The visitation rights as they are — it’s perfect. No? No, I don’t think that’s what’s best for our daughter any longer. I want to revisit the arrangement…

[ Scoffs ] …And I’d like joint custody. Not gonna happen. Nina doesn’t respect boundaries or care about people’s feelings. I mean, the fact that she’s trying to rewrite the history of nelle proves that she’s not dealing in reality. She deals in her version of reality. Yeah, she’s desperate to believe that nelle was troubled or misunderstood, and had nina known the truth, she could have redeemed nelle. And she acts on those beliefs. I mean, it’s like telling wiley about his “real mother” or “defending her daughter.” It’s no different than believing that sonny was happier in nixon falls. And she acted on that belief. Yes, she did. Which makes me very concerned about wiley and about nina having a relationship with him. I know. Nina is going to continue to live her belief that nelle could have been better through wiley. She doesn’t get that her beliefs are just stories she keeps telling herself. And as far as I’m concerned, that makes her extremely dangerous. Yeah, I like your record on law and order. You know, your commitment to tackling hard cases in order to get justice. And if I’m elected as pennsylvania attorney general, I intend to build on that commitment. Unfortunately, the incumbent looks strong in the polls. Yeah, I saw that, which is, uh, why I reached out. I think our donation could get you through that final push. I’m grateful. I have big plans for my state. Yeah, about that. Um… I’d like to discuss one plan in particular. Well, we’re all very busy, austin. We don’t have all day. Yeah, I’m sure you’re all very busy. So, I spoke with monica earlier. Whoop-de-doo. It was a really nice conversation. It was. Zero posturing. It’s hard to imagine she’s part of your family. And she talked about that — she was talking about elq and how it’s difficult for you all to distinguish where the family ends and where the business begins. Hardly a revelation. Well, it made me realize something. Because… I want to be a part of this family. And then I realized that, if you are all incapable of separating your family from your business, then I don’t want anything to do with it. Zero, zilch. Hand me over the papers, and I’ll sign away my claim.

[ Sighs ] “I, austin gatlin-holt, hereby acknowledge the validity of edward quartermaine’s last will and testament in which jimmy lee holt of pautuck, new york, was denied any portion of edward’s estate. As jimmy lee holt’s son, I relinquish any possible claim to elq stock or assets,” et cetera, et cetera. Is this what you really want? I’m not sure, you know? What I — what I really wanted — and still want — is my father to get the recognition that he wanted so badly. But now I’m thinking that the price is just too high, and I’m not just talking about my medical career — I’m talking about my soul. Cue the violins. I didn’t know what I was walking into.

[ Chuckling ] I had no idea. There is no depth that you quartermaines won’t sink to. I don’t want anything to do with you. I am not one of you. I am not a quartermaine. Hallelujah! Here. You’re gonna need this.

[ Paper rustles ]

[ Pen scratching ] Everything you’re saying makes total sense — it really does. I just still feel that [Scoffs] Right now, at this moment, nina’s lying low, and it does not do wiley any good to poke the bear. Willow — I mean, carly, strategically, I-if we have all our defenses ready, nina is at the disadvantage. Right? So why not wait? Let her be the one to go to court and fight for visitation. Because you want to put the ball in nina’s court. Right, because when you target nina, you make her the victim, and she obviously has no problem seeing herself that way. But if you sit back and do nothing, she’s the one starting the fight. Is there a chance that you’re saying all this because, deep down, you’re the type of person who likes to fix things? You want everyone to get along? I’m sure that’s part of it. But isn’t michael like that, too? Uh — or am I wrong? Michael is kind… and…fair… and forgiving, but he’s also someone who can be pushed too far. And given the grief we endured and the risk I took by stepping in for sonny, and to think that it didn’t have to happen… nina may have pushed michael too far. I know exactly what ava said to you. She offered you a way out of the charges — out of this entire god-awful mess. But did you take it? No. There is no way that I will live my life under that woman’s thumb. She’s my wife, spencer. I love her. And all we are asking is for you to respect that. Never! Spence, I — I understand you’re upset, but I think you need to do what your dad and ava want. What? Esme, what are you talking about? You can’t stand her, either. I know, but at this rate, all you’re going to accomplish by trying to spite them is land yourself in jail. And then what? What happens to me? I think you’ll want to change your mind. I have custody of avery, and that’s that. Okay, listen, you’re right — avery is going through a rough time right now. I mean, she’s happy that she’s with her father, but she’s confused and she needs stability and assurance that her parents are gonna be there. Yeah, I-I agree completely. What are you saying? So I’m gonna give you more time with avery. Not on the court’s terms — on my terms. Family is just very important. She’s my sister and we depend on each other a lot. She’s the rock of the fami ly. She’s the person who holds everything together. It’s a battle, you know. I’m going to be there.

Are you sure you’re okay with this? It’s a lawsuit. It’s never gonna make me happy. Thank you so much for all of your support. Anytime. I’ll see you. See you. Good luck. And for what it’s worth…

[ Door opens ] …I think your patients are lucky to have you.

[ Door closes ] Here you go. I’ll get the door for you. How very kind. Isn’t it? You know, if you’re thinking that this is over, you’d be wrong about that. This is just the beginning. Sorry. I still think the guy’s got an ulterior motive. Olivia… you really didn’t mean what you said earlier. Don’t tell me what I mean. That’s it? Out of the blue, you want a divorce? You really think this is out of the blue? Yes! Ned, if we can’t even agree on what’s best for leo, what kind of marriage do we have?

[ Sighs ] There is still a chance that I could beat these charges and go free. With a lawyer who doesn’t even know your name? I am not the enemy, spencer. I never said that you were, father. This is happening… right now and in real time. Are you really willing to risk a criminal record and possible jail time just to dig in your heels?

[ Indistinct conversations in distance ] You know I’ll support you no matter what, but I can’t imagine losing you, spence.

[ Voice breaking ] I just can’T. I read your file — the right one this time. Could I please have a moment while I consult with my attorney?

[ Sighs ] Please think about what we talked about. Mm-hmm. I essentially just have one question. How do you want to plead? So you don’t think there’s anything to be said for keeping the peace? I do. But that’s not gonna happen here. You’re surrounded by very proactive people. Michael won’t do anything rash, where the blowback lands on wiley. But make no mistake — if michael’s put in a situation to act, my son will act. Well, thank you for the coffee. Anytime. Sheridan: I see a lot of potential here. So we can help each other? I look forward to it. I’m gonna treat myself to a stroll through the botanical gardens. Oh, I love the botanical gardens, especially the roses. How about I clear my schedule and I go with you? Well, that’s very kind, but [Breathes deeply] I’m looking forward to some time alone to just stroll and let my mind roam. Are you sure? You don’t need to worry about me, nina. I’ll be fine. I just need to figure out what comes next. You and me both.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Bye. Bye. Does that work for you? Yes, it does. Good. Well, thank you for acknowledging that — that avery needs her mother. Sonny, I think, um… nixon falls changed you. Well, you know, I always, uh — I always take care of my children. Right. Okay, well, I will write up the schedule, and, um, I’ll e-mail it, okay? Oh, hold on. We still have some unfinished business.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

hey, n’neka. So, um, that guest — he was really into live music, huh?

[ Scoffs ] Yes. Wouldn’t shut up about it. Hmm. I guess I’ll have to add more nights. Mm-hmm. I know how the guys here can get. He didn’t bother you or make you feel uncomfortable, did he?

[ Scoffs ] No, he was harmless. All right. Well, good. Because I want the savoy to be a safe place for anyone who comes in here. Including me? Uh, please tell mr. Sheridan to get back to me as soon as possible. Yeah, it’s about my family’s donation to his campaign. Thank you. “Donation”? Uh, yeah. Yeah, it’s, uh — it’s good business to donate to politicians across the country. Doesn’t necessarily influence them, but it does always get you a meeting. How did I end up with someone so smart? I mean, just lucky, I guess. I mean, you got brains and brawn and looks?

[ Exhales sharply ] He’s a triple threat, ladies and gentlemen.

[ Both chuckle ] Eh, who am I kidding? I’m the lucky one. Hi. Hi. You made it. I was starting to get worried. Yeah, I found the place eventually. No, I-I mean, I didn’t know if a dinner out was at the top of your list. You know, given that your medical license is on the line. Right. All thanks to brook lynn quartermaine. Thank you for agreeing to have dinner with me tonight.

[ Laughs ] Can you believe it’s been almost a year since we’ve been separated? I gu ess time flieswhen you’re not having any fun. Well, I think it’s important to make time for each other so we can figure out what comes next. Yeah. Unless you’ve already made up your mind? And working with finn to keep his brother alive was all-consuming, and it’s exactly what I needed. Not to mention, we made a pretty great team. You sure did. Spending all that time together — you got closer. It felt that way. It looked that way, too.

[ Sighs ] Roughing it has improved since I last went camping. I’ve never been so happy to get off the grid.

[ Gasps ] Oh. Wow, you really went above and beyond in nixon falls. The town was about to be stolen out from under everyone. And it wasn’T. Because of you. I’m just repaying the kindness that the community showed me. You were really invested in your life there. It’s the only life I knew. But now you’re home.

[ Inhales deeply ] I would have really loved… to have known mike.

[ Chuckles ] But he seems to look a lot like the man I already know.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Ah, man. Ooh. Sir, is everything okay? I-I was on my way to a volunteer committee meeting, and I got this pain in my side. I’m — I’m sure it’s nothing, but… what’s your name? Uh, marshall. Marshall. Yeah. I’m dr. Ashford, and I would feel a lot more comfortable if we could rule out anything serious. We’ll go this way and get you checked out. Uh, yeah. Nina. I didn’t expect another visit so soon. A lot has happened in the last few hours. N’neka, would you bring a bottle of the reserve? We’ll be over here. You don’t have to handhold me if you’ve got stuff to do. Um, well… I’m the boss. It’s called “delegating.”

[ Chuckles ] Well, thank you. Thank you, n’neka. You can leave the bottle. Sure. Delegating works really well for you. Maybe I should try it, huh, curtis? Enjoy. Although, working is a really great distraction from the complete and utter mess that I have made.

[ Sighs ] What happened? It’s everywhere. I have no right to expect carly to keep it to herself, but — I know, but it’s hard. It’s hard. I’m sorry. Uh, I should’ve knocked. I’ll come back. No, no, no, just wait. Wait, wait, wait. We — we just gotta get this out in the open. And…

[ Sighs ] It’s just a lot for me. Um… you know, you guys got married, and then y-y-you get — you have feel — whatever it is that you guys — look, sonny, sonny, everything that has happened between me and carly, it… it was based on something that wasn’t true, okay? And now — and now we know the truth. And I just — I can’t speak for carly. I just want things to go back to, you know, what we all had. Hey. Sonny, I feel same. I want the three of us the way we were — the way we’ve always been for 20 years. I get that you don’t want my past life crashing down on you. You don’t want to be hurt again. That’s why you came to nixon falls — to let go of your past. So you understand? Well, and I’m gonna do everything I can to prove to you that I do. I don’t know how I’m gonna do it… but I will… because I’m — I’m in love with you. The past is the past. We just gotta f-find a way to… move on. We will. We will, because the three of us have survived too much together to lose each other over nina’s lie. And if it helps… I’m about to leave town.

[ Knock on door ] There you are. I had a bunch of questions I wanted to run by you earlier, but I’m heading out, so I guess it’ll have to wait till tomorrow. Uh, you should run them by me now. I’m leaving the country. You’re joking, right? And I don’t know how long I’ll be gone. And I’m supposed to, what — hold down the fort while you go on vacation indefinitely? No way. We’re co-chiefs of staff last time I checked. Terry, listen to me. This is not a vacation, okay? This is about my mother.

[ Both laugh ] Just — I-I’m s– let me —

[ Laughs ] You — I’ll — uh — you — are you trying to — I-it’s okay. It’s okay.

[ Laughs ] I’m — I’m sorry about that. It’s all right. I’ll take the next one. All right. Um, I was just thinking — I was just wondering — sorry, you go. No, you — you first. I-I made you miss the elevator.

[ Laughs ] Okay. I just saw another flier for trivia night. Looks like teams are filling up fast. T-those are — are two-person teams, right? I think so. Uh-huh. Wanna sign up together? Yeah, that sounds like fun.

[ Chuckles ] And, yes, those words just came out of my mouth. Ah, I’m gonna make sure you find joy in something frivolous if it’s the last thing I do. You’re a brave woman.

[ Laughs ] Yes, I am. So, it’s a date. No, I didn’t mean it like — I didn’t mean like that. I mean, it’s not a date-date. It’s — y– what if it was?

Look at you — making moves, banking favors. Getting ready to take back control of elq? Eh, hopefully. Not that I’ll be the one steering the ship. Right. No? I thought we were on the same page, you know? Ned runs elq for the family, and I run aurora to preserve drew’s legacy and build something worthwhile for scout. No, no, I know. It’s just… that decision was made before your father came home. Before you found out what nina did to him. Now, knowing what you know, do you think you can really be nina’s boss? So, what happened in the last few hours? I saw sonny. Oh? Yeah, and it was awful. What, did he freak out? No, he was matter of fact, actually. Damn. That’s almost worse. Yeah, kind of. So, did the subject of wiley come up? Mm-hmm. His position is that my relationship with wiley is between michael and me, and he will not influence michael as long as I stay away from the family. Shouldn’t be too hard. You and sonny hardly know each other. So, where you going and for how long? I’m not sure. Just helping britt search for her mother. That’s generous of you. What happened to obrecht? Yeah, so, uh, obrecht and scott were on their way to the caribbean. Wait a minute. Obrecht and scott are an item? Uh, you’ve missed a lot in nine months. Apparently. Scott was ejected from the plane. Uh, he had a parachute. He’s fine. Obrecht was taken captive, and nobody’s heard from her. Who’s holding obrecht? There’s multiple players involved. But it all circles back… to peter august. I have a strong lead on what happened to my mother, and I need to explore it. And you’re not telling the authorities? I don’t trust them. But you trust me. Yeah.

[ Both laugh ] Wow, look at us. We’ve come a long way. Don’t worry about things here. I’ve got it covered. And if the board starts asking questions about where I am — I am a masterful question-dodger. Oh, good to know.

[ Both laugh ] Thank you. You’re welcome. I guess I’d better go before you change your mind. That would be wise.

[ Both laugh ] Good luck. Thank you. I’m gonna need it.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Telephone rings ] Chief randolph. Oh, my god. You know, we haven’t really had a chance to talk much about, um, what happened between us, you know? Um… my lips… almost touching your lips. No, we haven’T. No. In fact, I think we’ve done everything we can to avoid the subject. Mm-hmm. Which I guess that makes sense, right? I mean, there’s — there’s a lot of things that could get… complicated… in all this, right? I mean, there’s — there’s hayden. Me losing franco. Mm-hmm. But, you know, maybe there’s just as many reasons, if not more, to — to not avoid the subject. You know, maybe we stop acting like a couple of high-school kids and, you know, we take a chance and we — we see where this could go. I don’t know. I’m talking crazy, right? I-I… this is crazy. No. Sorry. My mood has nothing to do with you… or with us. What’s wrong?

[ Sighs ] Leo had his follow-up appointment with dr. Diamond today. It didn’t go well? I don’t like the guy. Dr. Diamond? Since when? Since he thinks there’s something wrong with my kid. He was suggesting that I make an appointment with a pediatric neurologist. You believe that? Yes, liv, I can. I should probably stay out of whatever drama is going on between you and brook lynn. Yeah, that’s probably a pretty good idea. But, you know, an objective observation. Yes? You have to wonder if it’s really all worth it. So much for staying out of it. Okay, no, look. I [Sighs] I get that y– fighting for your father’s birthright is really important to you. But if it means losing your ability to practice medicine, is that what jimmy lee would really want for you? You know, maxie… I mean, if I didn’t know any better, I might think that you’re way more invested in this little quartermaine squabble than you’re letting on.

[ Scoffs ]

“Invested”? Uh, no. Okay, maybe, like, the tiniest bit invested. But in the same way that I’m invested in if blake moynes gets the final rose on “the bachelorette.” You know, these corporate shenanigans make for great gossip in port charles. Okay, I gotcha. Okay. I don’t know about you, but i could definitely use a drink. Um, what do you say? Dirty martinis? Interested? Leo marches to his own drummer. So what? I don’t — I don’t think that’s a problem. It’s — it’s like my uncle mario. Guy didn’t talk till he was five years old — not a word. You know what happened to him? What? He became an artist. Creative people see the world differently, so they experience it differently. And I happen to think that that’s wonderful. I agree. Not every kid comes flying out of the womb like dante — all — all athletic and personable and ready to take everything that the world throws at them. That’s not what I’m suggesting. Not — not every kid is meant to be a social superstar. And I think when you start turning it into a problem and they see you wringing your hands over it, it does the child a real disservice. Maxie: Hi. Peter showed up in nixon falls? Hell, yes. I didn’t know who he was. I didn’t know who I was. But he — he said he was an author, that he was a friend and colleague of nina. Once I got my memory back, I was able to place him.

[ Sighs ] Well, peter, uh, threatened to kidnap nina’s nephew, james. And that’s why nina called obrecht, and obrecht’s plan was to bump peter off in st. Lucia. And then she disappeared. Right. Right? Yeah. You know what I don’t understand. Peter sees sonny, and he doesn’t say anything? He clearly knows who you are. So why didn’t peter use this to his advantage? Drew’s initial deal with jax is that jax buy the print media half of the company so that crimson belongs to him. And — and, yeah, the companies share the same name and occupy adjoining office space. But, look, my [Sighs] My side rarely interacts with crimson’S. But it’s still part of aurora. Look, all I’m saying is, no one would blame you for wanting to remove yourself. Shouldn’t nina be the one to remove herself? I didn’t do anything wrong. No, no. Of course you didn’T. That’s not — oh, I-I’m sorry. No, hey, don’t — don’t be. It’s — it’s — it’s — you’re right. It’s a complicated situation. Yeah.

[ Sighs ] You know, I, uh — I talked to avery earlier today. She is so confused, and I’m sure donna is, too. What did avery say? She asked me if grandpa mike’s gonna come home the same way that daddy did. And when I told her no, she just burst into tears. Oh, my god. That sounds awful. Yeah, it was. So, is that something you’ve thought about? Having nina removed? It crossed my mind, yeah. Reaching out to sam and — and making a case to force jax to push her out. But that wouldn’t solve the main issue. Nina’s presence in wiley’s life. Nina: You’re right. Sonny and I mean nothing to each other, so… no big loss. I just, you know — I want to move on with my life, curtis, but how? I want to make things right with phyllis, but how? It just seems like there’s no real answers to anything, and I hate it. I know. Is this gonna go on forever? No, it won’T. And take it from someone who’s made their fair share of mistakes and gone on to tell about it. God, I hate hospitals. The lights, the sounds, the [Scoffs] Smells. Interesting choice to volunteer here, then, isn’t it? Guess I’m a glutton for punishment.

[ Chuckles ] Hmm.

[ Monitor beeps ]

[ Sighs ] Blood pressure’s good. A little on the low side. Something to watch out for, but it wouldn’t be causing your abdominal pain. Mind if I take a listen? Hey, knock yourself out. Okay. Deep breath.

[ Inhales deeply ] Exhale.

[ Exhales slowly ] You look awfully young to be a doctor, if you don’t mind me saying. I don’t mind. And I just graduated med school a few months ago. Really? [ Chuckles ] Well, your — your parents must be awfully proud. My mom is. My dad passed away whe– it’s a long story. Hey, I’m sorry. Uh, you know, I get a little chatty when — when I’m nervous here in the hospital and all. Consider me an open book. All right. All right. Do you, uh — do you got a better half? I do. Ah. My partner, molly. Oh, “molly.”

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, I bet she tells all her girlfriends about her man, the doctor.

[ Laughs ] She is pretty impressive in her own right, but… nah, molly’s not like that. Ah. My uncle, on the other hand, will pull aside a complete stranger on the street and let them know that his nephew is an md. Your uncle sounds like a hoot. Tell me more about him.

Wow, look at this. Date night. Yeah, it must be really nice to just kick back and relax after a long day of sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong. Olivia, come on. N-no, it’s all right. It was not my place to say anything to anyone about leo. Well, you’re damn right, it wasn’t, but that didn’t stop you, did it? Huh? Anything to distract ned. You’ll use my son’s unique personality or chase’s broken heart. Why in the world would I trust anything you had to say? I’m gonna say this one more time. You stay the hell away from my kid.

[ Door slams ] Sounds like you come from a very tight-knit family. I hope you… I hope you know how lucky you are. I do. You hold on to that. You hold on to that for as long as you can. Sorry. No, it’s fine. Well, I don’t hear anything abnormal. Well [Chuckles] That’s a relief.

[ Both laugh ] Right? I’m going to ask one of the attending physicians to take a look, just in case I missed something. Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. Thorough. I-I like it. You okay to wait by yourself? It might take a minute to flag someone down. I’ll — I’ll be right here. All right.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ] I appreciate you attempting to relate, but you, my wonderful friend, have never pulled a stunt like this. Maybe not, but there was a time that I went down a path that caused a lot of pain for people I care for… and for the people I served. Think about all those cases that I worked, that’ll never be tied up because I got my badge taken away. Curtis, you had an addiction. I made the conscious choice to do something wrong. They’re not the same. Not even close. Okay, well… how about this? I thought that I would spend the rest of my days paying for my sins from the worst chapter in my life. But you know what? I didn’T. My misdeeds, my transgressions are in the past. They’re behind me. And one day — probably sooner than you expect — yours will be, too. You know, I wish I could snap my fingers and this whole situation would just go away. We just declare that nina is forbidden from seeing wiley. Well, in order to do that, we’d have to take her to court. Is that what you want? Honestly, yes. If it means keeping that woman away from our son, then yes. Okay. Then I’m asking you to reconsider. Britt and scott kept hitting dead ends, and they asked for my help. So I had spinelli take a look at scott’s computer, and we realized that it’s been monitored from greece. Greece? Yeah. So, we went to see nikolas. Britt [Chuckles] Britt got nikolas to admit that there was a cassadine compound on the island of crete. Or, at least, there used to be. Well, that explains the cassadine connection. But, uh, you’ve said that… peter was behind all this. Yeah. Right? Peter and victor cassadine. Dead victor cassadine. Not so dead. And it makes sense, ’cause peter has always been close with the cassadines, especially helena.

[ Doorbell rings ] Don’t the guards, uh, call anymore? Yeah, they absolutely do. Ah, it’s britt. I told frank to let her up.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ] Hi, britt. Carly. Sonny. I hear you’re taking jason away from us. I think you might be right. I think maybe we should figure out what’s happening between the two of us. Biz, uh, do you have a second? Um, I mean, I-I guess, yeah. What — what’s up? Maybe we should have this conversation in private? No, no, no, it’s okay. It’s just — it’s just finn. Well, I can — unless it’s something terrible. Is it terrible? No, no, no. Nothing like that. And maybe I’m making a bigger deal out of it than I should. Just rip the band-aid off, chief. Somebody called asking about you. Who? Your father.

I obviously don’t speak for olivia. Does anybody speak for olivia? No.No. But after talking to another doctor, it appears there may be some merit to your concern about leo. Okay. But still, I should have kept my mouth shut. And if I had, then maybe your daughter wouldn’t be trying to get my medical license revoked. I’m sorry. What? Brook lynn has threatened to file a formal hipaa complaint unless I stop contesting edward’s will.

[ Scoffs ]

[ Clears throat ] Is this true? Unfortunately, yes. Okay, I had no idea that she would do that, and I wish she hadn’T. Um, because despite our legal battle, I believe in you as a doctor, and I know that you were only looking after leo’s best interest. Excuse me. My father called you?

[ Sighs ] Jeff mentioned he left a message on your voicemail when franco died, but you never called him back. Yeah, and he never called again, so what does that tell you? I guess he heard about my new position at G.H. And wanted to reach out. Why? To ask how you’re holding up. And you told him… that I wasn’t his go-between. If jeff wants to know how you’re doing, he needs to talk to you. Yeah, I asked jason for help. But, hey, this is your choice. You do not have to come. It’s already settled. I’m going. W-we’re happy to help, and for what it’s worth, I hope you find your mother. Well, it’s worth a lot. Thank you. I know she and I aren’t your favorite people — with good reason. No, look, it doesn’t matter what we think — it’s your mother. If you’re gonna do everything you can to find her, then… I hope you find her. Thank you.

[ Sighs ] Uh, I’m ready when you are. Yeah, just — I just need a minute. Okay, I’ll wait in the foyer. Okay. So, uh… are we — are we okay? I am in no way, shape, or form defending nina or her actions. What she did to your father is indefensible. But? But she’s already retreated with her tail between her legs. If I had to guess, it’ll be a long time before nina comes knocking on our door again. What, so we just let the whole thing slide? No, we let it lie for now. Because if we tell nina we won’t allow her to see wiley, what do you think will happen? She’ll contact a lawyer. Yes, and that lawyer will tell her that in the state of new york, grandparents do have rights. Michael, the fact is, nina has plenty of time and money to spend on a long, ugly court battle. A court battle that likely won’t go in our favor. Don’t let your emotions drag you into something that might actually work against us. It is not worth the risk.

[ Scoffs ] Thanks for talking me down. Any time.

[ Sighs ] So, who’s the smart one now, huh? We can share the title. I’m fine with that. Yeah, me, too. Okay, so, no court battle for wiley. No court battle for wiley. That’s definitely not the way to go. Nina: Thank you for the talk and breaking out the good stuff. You, my lovely friend, are on the list. That means nothing but the best for you. Mm, then one more reason to make this a regular thing, huh? Do you have time for one more? Or do you have to schmooze with the clientele? Ooh, no, I’m meeting tj. We’re gonna go to a midnight movie. Oh, that’s fun. Yeah, you’re more than welcome to roll with. My big plan is to sit right here. Mm, okay. Uh, n’neka, would you please make sure my lovely friend nina has everything she wants? You got it.

[ Chuckles ] Nina, remember what I said. I know it doesn’t seem like it right now… but soon, all of this will be behind you. Okay?

[ Smooches ] I can’t wait. Dr . Russo in cardiology saidhe could be here in… …10 minutes.

Olivia was right about one thing — you did use chase to further your own cause. And that’s not me judging you, okay? God knows I am no saint. Well, thank you for not judging me. You know what stinks about manipulation? You feel like crap afterwards. Also, nobody trusts you anymore. Okay, to be clear, what happened with michael and willow and chase — they’re consenting adults. It’s got nothing to do with me. But you’re right. I do feel like crap about what’s going on with leo. Yeah, I can tell it’s really bothering you. It is, because he needs help. And as long as we’re not judging people, I don’t blame olivia, but she’s just not listening. Maybe ned will? I’m sorry I stormed off like that. I understand.

[ Sighs ] Do you, ned? Really? Because, no offense… but, um, you just come from a different class. You know, e– your family always reacts like this. Something even begins to present as a problem, and you just start throwing money at it. Send the kid to a billion specialists. And my point is… maybe leo doesn’t need that. Maybe it’s not a problem. Maybe — maybe leo just needs to be his leo self and do his leo stuff in his leo world. Because — because you know what? He likes it there.

[ Sighs, chuckles ] Olivia… I get what you’re saying. I truly do. But hearing what another doctor has to say doesn’t mean you’re committing to anything or anyone. It’s just more information to have. But don’t you see, ned? That’s already calling it a problem… when I just see him as my son. And — and g-getting a m– bunch of specialists and making appointments, that’s just walking down a road that I don’t want to go down. But I do want to go — I want to go home.

[ Sighs ] Well, then, let’s get you home. Hey, um, are you okay? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m fine. I know, I know. But if you want to talk, I’m here. Oh, thank you. Thanks. The only thing I want to think about right now is taking home the gold on trivia night.

[ Elevator bell dings ] And I’m signing us up. Okay.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ] That sounded… intense. You don’t know the half of it. But anything more than that, you’ll have to hear from elizabeth. We’ve all been through a lot. And you guys know… how much you mean to me, so… can we just not bring this up again? Okay. I’m gonna — I’m gonna take off. Wait, wait. L-l-listen, watch your back, all right? ‘Cause peter august is bad news. Yeah, I’ll — I’ll — I’m gonna be careful. You always say that. I’ll do my best. A porsche. Buckle up. I’m driving.

[ Sighs ] How you feel? Like we’re one step closer to getting our life back. I’m so glad that everything is out in the open. Whatever we choose for wiley, we need to be sure that it’s the right decision. Because once it’s made, our son is the one who has to live with the consequences. I hear you. And I promise you, when it comes to visitation with nina, that’s a decision we’ll make together, okay?

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Sighs ] I sh– I should take this. Yeah. Back to making moves, I see. Yeah. Well, I have studying to do, anyway. I love you. I love you.

[ Ringing continues ] Mr. Sheridan. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Yes, my family is still interested in donating to your campaign for pennsylvania attorney general. There’s just one wrinkle we’d like to iron out first. Yeah, we’re concerned about a-a crime in your jurisdiction that hasn’t been prosecuted yet. Yeah, it involves a woman… …named nina reeves. Can I get you anything else? No. Thank you, n’neka. I have to get back to my life. Eventually. Curtis: Hey, there you are. Tj, I hope you are properly excited and caffeinated for this movie. Yeah. Yeah, I’m looking forward to it. Is everything okay? I guess so. I was examining a patient, and I told him to wait while I grabbed a second opinion. But when I came back, he was gone. Well, maybe he, uh — maybe he felt better and took off. I’m sure he’ll be in touch if it’s anything serious. I hope so.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

What do you think? A string quartet? Harpist?

Abe: Mm–

Paulina: Oh, that’s not an answer, abraham.

Abe: Well, that’s my answer. Whatever it takes to make you happy.

Paulina: Aww. You are so good to me. But we got beaucoup things to do on our list. There’s a mile long if we want

get this wedding in shape. Now, I hope your day is clear.

Abe: Ah, I’ve already done my part. The most important part.

Paulina: Now really? What is that?

Abe: I proposed to the most vibrant, engaging, charming woman I have ever, ever known. Nothing else really matters.

Paulina: No, maybe not to you, you silver-tongued devil. But I want my wedding to be as perfect as my groom. So now, are you gonna help me with these lists or am I gonna have to get tough?

Abe: Oh, well, let’s do this.

Paulina: Come on now.

Abe: Okay.

[Tense music]

Jake: [Sighs] Better watch your back, philip. There is no way in hell I’m gonna let you steal gabi’s company away from her.

Gabi: Jake?

Ciara: What’s wrong?

Ben: Absolutely nothing. I’m just very happy that I came around on this whole baby-making project.

Ciara: Mm-hmm.

Ben: Because it is awesome.

Ciara: I told you so.

Ben: Mm-hmm.

Ciara: I told you.

Ben: Mm-hmm.

[Eerie music]

Demon marlena: Good morning, ben. I was very encouraged by our session. I hope you felt the same way. I may be overstepping but I was wondering how the… procreation is going? Send. It may not be my place, but I want this process to move along quickly. Ben and ciara’s child is the utmost import to my plan.

John: Hey, doc, who are you talking to?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Lani: Is that a bottomless key lime pie?

Eli: Shoot, I wish. It’s the last slice.

Lani: You had two for dinner last night, one for breakfast. What are you gonna do for lunch?

Eli: Sell my soul to the devil for another slice.

Lani: Or you could just ask chanel to come over to bake you another one.

Eli: Nah, then I wouldn’t be able to sit around here half-naked.

Lani: Hmm.

Eli: No.

Lani: That would be tragic.

Eli: You taking my slice?

Lani: Mm-hmm.

Eli: Oh. Mmm. Delicious!

Lani: You got a little.

Eli: Oh, okay.

Lani: Here, here. I got it. Let me help you with that.

Gabi: Jake, what are you doing?

Jake: Hello, whoa, gorgeous.

Gabi: Ugh, well, these bags under my eyes, I hardly slept. Tossing and turning all night. Neither did you.

Jake: Did I keep you up?

Gabi: No, phillip did. We need to stop this bastard. I mean, there’s no way in hell that you’re gonna go to prison. There’s no way I’m gonna give up my company.

Jake: Yeah, it’s not gonna happen.

Gabi: Well, it will happen if we don’t come up with a plan. We need to be proactive. We need to hit him before he knows what happened. I don’t know what–what can we do to stop this son of bitch.

Jake: Honestly, the only thing on my mind right now is the woman I love standing right in front of me looking sexy as hell.

Gabi: Oh, yeah?

Jake: You know, I’d do anything to make you happy, right?

Gabi: Anything?

Jake: Anything.

Paulina: We don’t need to worry about a wedding cake. Not with sweet bits in charge.

Abe: Aha, and I can lock down the officiant.

Paulina: Oh, really? Who do you have in mind?

Abe: Marlena. She would love to join us in holy matrimony. So what do you think?

Paulina: There are two secrets. Abe is not lani’s father and tammy is not her mother.

Marlena: How can that be? Tamara raised her.

Paulina: Yes, she did. But I gave birth to her. I am lani’s mother.

Abe: You don’t like the idea of marlena marrying us?

Paulina: No, no. A shrink who does weddings? What does she have, a package deal? You know, marry the couple now, and a discount on therapy later?

Abe: You do have a way of putting things. But whatever your reservations are about a shrink marrying us. There is a lot more to marlena than meets the eye.

John: Doc?

Marlena: Oh, I didn’t hear you. Sorry I was just speaking to a colleague about his plans for the future.

John: Could have sworn I heard a man’s voice.

Marlena: I had him on speaker. Any more questions?

John: No. Sorry, I guess I’m just a little– boy, you sure got up early this morning.

Marlena: Didn’t I though?

John: Mm-hmm.

Marlena: You know what they say. No rest for the wicked.

[Knock at door] Oh, my.

John: I got it, I got it, honey. Julie, how are you?

Julie: Not good? And I’m afraid I won’t be any better until I get your permission to see my husband. Your mission:

Ciara: [Sighing] Oh.

Ben: You think we did it? Did we make a baby?

Ciara: Well, compared to last time, I don’t know. It’s hard to tell. I mean, there was no random gusts of winds. The candles didn’t blow out. The clouds didn’t part. The heavens didn’t open up and the ground wasn’t shaking but–

Ben: Well, speak for yourself.

Ciara: Oh, trust me, I had my own spiritual experience.

Ben: I love you.

Ciara: I love you.

Ben: And I already love this baby.

Ciara: There may not even be a baby.

Ben: Ciara, it only takes once, that was like–

Ciara: Yeah, but–but who knows if this once is the time?

Ben: Then we’re gonna have to keep trying.

Ciara: Sounds like a plan.

Ben: In the shower?

Eli: Well, so much for making it to the bedroom.

Lani: Mm, you know, I thought that our extracurricular activities would–you kinda get lost in the diaper changes and feeding schedules but we’re making it work.

Eli: No, it’s not work at all, you know, I got a feeling we’re gonna be honeymooners for life. Not just some old–

Lani: No, uh-uh, no. Don’t you say some old married couple.

Eli: Hey, look, you the one that said it. All right, the only old couple around here is gonna be paulina and your dad.

Lani: Mm, mm-mm. I have–I have a feeling that aunt paulina will–she’ll find a way to keep it sexy and spicy.

Eli: Yeah, I’m sure she will.

Lani: It was really nice celebrating them though. Those two are crazy in love.

Eli: Yeah, or just plain crazy. What was paulina talking about, that you should call her mama?

Abe: I was the officiant at john and marlena’s wedding, as I’ve told you. And marlena made me promise to let her return the favor if I–if I ever decided to tie the knot again. So you don’t want me to break my word, do you?

Paulina: This really means a lot to you, doesn’t it?

Abe: It does.

Paulina: Well, okay. That’s just something else we can just check right off the list.

Abe: Thank you so much. You know what? Why don’t we head over to their place and we can get on the road to happily ever after.

Marlena: Julie, I’m sorry you are upset.

Julie: I don’t care how sorry you are, marlena. I wanna see doug now. I wanna see him today.

Marlena: Well, I’m afraid I can’t let you or anybody else see doug right now.

Julie: Why the hell not?

Marlena: He tried to kill you, I was there. He slammed you over the head with a tray, I mean, it’s– it’s a miracle you weren’t seriously hurt.

Julie: Well, I guess it was a miracle because the tray didn’t kill me. I still wanna see my husband.

Marlena: He’s dangerous, julie. And it’s possible that seeing you might just set him off.

Julie: It’s also possible that you are wrong, marlena. With all due respect, I know my husband better than you do. He’s in isolation. He–he is frightened. I don’t see how seeing me or any of the people who love him wouldn’t make him feel a thousand percent better.

Marlena: I’m very sorry. But the answer is no I’m afraid.

John: Doc, can one visit really hurt? Doug is sedated. If he’s supervised?

Marlena: I’m a psychiatrist. I’ve been doing this for many years. I think I know what’s best for my patient unless you think you do?

John: Just trying to help you a little bit that’s all.

Marlena: Julie, if there’s nothing else.

Julie: What gave you the right to play god with people’s lives?

Marlena: Julie, playing god is the last thing I wanna do, but what if I let you see doug and somehow he–he got his hands on–on a pencil or something sharp and–and he–and he stabs you in the heart?

John: Doc, easy.

Julie: That’s ridiculous. You’re treating him like he’s just a patient and he’s your friend. Where is your heart, marlena?

Marlena: Well, somebody’s gotta be objective.

Julie: Are you sure that you are? But what if it was john? What if it was john who was stuck in some snake pit of an institution and you weren’t allowed to see him?

Marlena: Well, if john had tried to kill me, I would hope that somebody with a rational mind will do something to help him.

Julie: Oh, bull! You’d be mad as hell. You know you would.

Marlena: Julie, trust that I have doug’s best interests and yours at heart. Really I do, and– and if there’s any change in him at all, I’ll be sure to let you know.

Julie: I feel sick that I ever let you talk me into signing those commitment papers.

John: Julie.

Julie: This isn’t over!

Abe: Uh, well, what was that all about? Julie seemed pretty upset.

John: Julie, well she wants to visit doug at bayview.

Marlena: Yeah, an–and I had to tell her that doug is a danger to himself and others.

Paulina: He seems so harmless to me. Well, I guess I got off easy when he goosed my caboose.

Lani: Asking me to call her mama? Yeah, definitely awkward.

Eli: Yes, it was weird. But you know what, you set her straight and I don’t think it’s gonna happen again.

Lani: Yeah, we know that. Though it does come from a place of love, auntie p can overstep.

John: So what brings you two by?

Abe: Well, we have news to share.

Paulina: Abe and i are getting hitched.

John: [Laughs] Sensational, isn’t it, doc?

Marlena: Oh, yes. That’s–that’s wonderful.

Abe: Yeah, hey and–and we would be honored, marlena, if you would preside over the ceremony.

Marlena: Oh, but of course before I agree, there’s something I need you to know abe.

Gabi: So I’m thinking an omelet and a side of bacon. Oh, and hash browns. You made me work up an appetite.

Jake: Wow.

Gabi: I’ll share if you’re nice.

Jake: I think I might just have some coffee.

Ciara: Hey.

Jake: Oh.

Ciara: Hi, how are you guys? So good to see you. I’m actually really glad I ran into you. I wanted to talk to you about something.

Gabi: Sure.

Jake: That’s perfect timing ’cause I gotta chat with ben about something. So why don’t you two go in, grab a table and we’ll be in a few.

Ciara: Sure.

Gabi: I can’t promise I won’t start without you.

Ciara: Bye.

Jake: Salem inn over there, right?

Ben: What’s going on?

Jake: Got a little bit of a situation.

Ben: What the hell are you doing with that?

Jake: Someone is trying to hurt gabi and I–I gotta stop it. Oof. You are busy

Abe: What do I need to know? What dark secrets are you keeping from me?

Marlena: Well… it’s about paulina. You see, I got thinking about tamara and how I couldn’t possibly officiate over a wedding involving you and your sister’s ex-boyfriend and baby daddy without knowing how she feels about it.

Paulina: Oh, that–that–that’s all you’re worried about. Well, I’ve spoken to my sister and I’m happy to say we have tammy’s blessing and she’ll be tickled to know you’re the one tying our knot.

Marlena: Mm, well, I’d like to hear that from her. And then I’d be thrilled to marry you.

Abe: Oh, good. Thank you, thank you.

John: This calls for a celebration. Mimosas all the way around maybe, what do you say?

Abe: You know, I wish we could but in my bride-to-be and I have a million things to do to get ready for this wedding, so– oh, starting with buying me a new suit.

Paulina: Oh–oh–uh, john, do you mind–could you go with abe? I think I’d like to stay here and chat with marlena about what we had in mind for the ceremony. So what do you say, john? Are you available?

John: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Of course, even though I don’t know how much I’ll be able to help. I mean, my–my–my style was a little low-key for abraham.

Paulina: It’s perfect. You can help him keep it simple. I mean, we don’t want the groom to outshine his bride.

Abe: Oh, that’s not possible.

John: Okay, I’ll–I’ll be right back.

Marlena: Oh.

Abe: I’ll see you in a bit.

Paulina: Mm-hmm.

John: Congratulations, abe.

Abe: Yes, yeah.

Marlena: You don’t want to talk about the ceremony, do you?

Paulina: No, I don’T. Sister, whoo, you had me sweating bullets just now.

Marlena: Did I?

Paulina: You know damn well you did, you–you needed to talk to abraham and that–that look that came over your face. I got the distinct impression you were going to out my secret.

Marlena: You mean your secret about lying to abe and lying to lani. The thought did cross my mind.

Lani: We’re behind schedule.

Eli: Yes. I know but it was so worth it, wasn’t it?

Lani: Mm-hmm.

[Knock at door]

Julie: Eli, oh, thank god you are home.

Eli: Everything okay? Is it doug?

Julie: How would I know? Marlena won’t let me see him.

Lani: I thought the restriction on visitors was just temporary.

Julie: Yes, it was but now it’s become permanent. If this keeps up– if this keeps up, marlena won’t let me see him until hell freezes over.

Eli: Well, marlena is his doctor.

Julie: I am his wife.

Lani: He–he attacked you.

Julie: He is no danger to me or to anyone. I know this, you know this, the whole world knows this except for the great and powerful marlena evans. Well, no, she will not see what’s right in front of her that doug needs me. If this keeps up, I swear I’m gonna turn out to be the danger to others, especially one very tall blonde psychiatrist.

Lani: Okay, julie, I know how bad you wanna see doug, but if marlena won’t allow it, I don’t–I don’t think there’s anything that any one of us can do.

Eli: Oh, actually there is.

Ben: So, gabi signs over the company to philip, or you go down for murder?

Jake: Yeah.

Ben: And phillip’s already wrangled an eyewitness.

Jake: Who’s lying through his teeth. I admit I was stupid enough to get involved, but I did not kill anybody.

Ben: Just relax, breath.

Jake: Thought I was done with this life. But now here it is in my face being used to hurt gabi.

Ben: I can relate, brother. Trying to escape the man I was. There’s nothing easy about it.

Jake: Yeah, never thought I’d hold one of these things in my hand again.

Ben: There’s gotta be another way.

Jake: Sometimes words don’t do the trick.

Ben: Well, listen, I know you’re trying to protect gabi and I know you might be feeling really desperate right now, but I promise you brother, look at me, you’re doing the wrong thing, even for all the right reasons. Nothing good can come of it.

Ciara: Mmm, so good. I’m definitely gonna miss this.

Gabi: Miss coffee, why?

Ciara: Oh, well, ben and i are actually trying to get pregnant.

Gabi: That is great. Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?

Ciara: No, actually I wanted to talk to you about work.

Gabi: Work?

Ciara: Yeah, well with a baby coming, I thought it might be a good idea to have a little nest fund, so to speak. So I talked to my grandfather and I am going back to titan.

Gabi: Lucky you.

Ciara: Yeah, well, I will be if I can work for gabi chic. It is one of titan’s most profitable and fastest growing divisions and you gabriela dimera are a rockstar and there’s no one I would rather be working for.

Gabi: That’s very flattering, but it’s not gonna happen.

Ciara: Why not?

Gabi: Your uncle phillip fired me.

Ciara: What? Wait, he can do that?

Gabi: Oh, it gets better. He’s trying to steal my company.

Jake: You know gabi built her company from nothing and phillip kiriakis, that silver spoon son of a bitch, who’s been handed everything in his life, gonna try and take it away. No, no, no. I’m not gonna let it happen.

Ben: So you’re planning to kill philip kiriakis. In life there are people who,

Ciara: No, my uncle philip must be crazy. Firing you? Stealing your company? How can there be a gabi chic without you gabi? You are the brand. It is you.

Gabi: Thank you. You are damn right, but phillip is too stupid and greedy to get that. He actually thinks I can be replaced.

Ciara: Well, is it a done deal? Can anything be done about this? Because honestly it just doesn’t seem like the brightest business decision to me.

Gabi: Well, maybe you could share your opinion with–with your grandfather. I mean, at this point, I think victor’s the only person that phillip’s gonna listen to. And if he doesn’t start listening to reason, very soon, he’s gonna live to regret it.

Jake: Never killed anybody before. I don’t intend to start now.

Ben: Okay, so what the gun is just a–a prop?

Jake: It’s the only language that some people understand, especially when they are as dumb as carmine merlino.

Ben: Carmine merlino. What, you lost me.

Jake: Carmine is the clown that phillip tagged to testify that I beat a man to death.

Ben: And let me guess carmine’s the real killer.

Jake: Exactly. So I got him on the horn, convince him to come down to salem and have a sit down. Just the two of us. I’m hoping to convince him to get it through his thick skull, that it’s in our best interest for him to keep his mouth shut.

Ben: And what if he doesn’t keep his mouth shut?

Jake: Hoping the threat of a little heat might show him some reason.

[Beeping] That’s carmine. Wish me luck.

Ben: Whoa, whoa, whoa, I’m coming with you.

Jake: No, no you’re not.

Ben: Jake, this guy’s dangerous. You need somebody to watch you back.

Jake: You and sierra are finally living your life, happily. I’m not letting you anywhere near this.

Ben: Jake, I’m not letting you go by yourself–

Jake: No, I’ll be fine. Just tell gabi I remembered an appointment I had to keep, all right?

Ben: An appointment–

Jake: I’ll be fine.

Eli: Okay, ma, if marlena is worried about your safety, then I will go down to bayview with you and I will stay with you the entire time.

Julie: Oh, love, that so kind, but it won’t help. Marlena’s order it bans all visitors, not just me.

Eli: Well, lucky for us. My badge will get us by doctor’s orders.

Julie: Really?

Eli: Yeah.

Julie: Oh, sweetheart, that would be wonderful.

Eli: All right, come on. We’ll go down to bayview and we’re not gonna take no for an answer.

Julie: Oh, my love.

Paulina: When I came to your office that day, you said that what we talked about was private, protected by patient doctor confidentiality.

Marlena: It is. That’s why I didn’t say anything to abe.

Paulina: But you just said you admitted that you almost did. You said it crossed your mind you almost blurted out what I told you.

Marlena, this just won’t do. Now. I need to know that I can trust you. If I can’t, you and I we have a big problem.

Marlena: You don’t have a problem with trust with me because I’m not the person you’re marrying.

Paulina: What are you saying?

Marlena: What I’m saying is before you walked down the aisle and say I do, you’re going to have to come clean. You’re going to have to tell abe the truth and lani the truth.

Abe: Well, I am so sorry that I forgot that the men’s store wasn’t open today.

John: No, it’s okay. It’s okay. Actually, I’m kind of glad it gives you and me a chance to talk a little bit.

Abe: Yeah, you know, you do seem preoccupied. What’s on your mind?

John: Let me ask you something. Does doc seem like she’s herself to you?

Abe: Well, what do you mean?

John: Yeah, just–she’s been doing some things lately that have been A… bit out of character. You saw the way julie left her place.

Abe: Oh, she was definitely upset.

John: Doc still wouldn’t let her see doug. But instead of comforting julie, empathizing with what she’s going through there, she took really hard stand and just made everything worse.

Abe: Well, we both know that julie doesn’t wanna listen to something she doesn’t want to hear.

John: Yeah, I know–I know that, but it’s–it’s more than that. It’s– I don’t know, doc’s got a edge. Even with me, and the fact is… she’s been off for quite a while.

Abe: Off? How?

John: You know, for example you know that–the promo johnny was to make?

Abe: Yeah, the–the one who’s going to include marlena’s possession.

John: Yeah, yeah, well, the kid has rewritten the whole script and now it only is about marlena’s possession.

Abe: Only about. I don’t get it. We–we had all agreed that that chapter of marlena’s life, all of our lives is best left in the past. That–that was the position marlena took.

John: Well, I thought so. Then suddenly, yesterday she announces in front of johnny that she’s all on board for his project. Last night, I walked in on her and she’s totally engrossed in the script. I think she’s really enjoying it, and the whole time she’s– she’s wearing a pair of dark sunglasses.

Abe: Dark sunglasses?

John: You remember those days, don’t you, abraham? Marlena was always going around and trying to hide her eyes from everybody.

Abe: [Exhales] You don’t think– you don’t think marlena is possessed again, do you? Advil dual action fights pain 2 ways.

John: No, I don’t think that she’s possessed. I just think that–that she’s in trouble and she needs my help, but I don’t even know how to help her I don’t even know where to start.

Abe: When did you first notice her acting differently?

John: It was right after the first session with doug.

Abe: That must be pretty upsetting watching him collapse right in front of her.

John: Here’s the odd thing, doc says that… she’s fuzzy on all the details of what happened. She was so concerned in fact that she went back to her office to replay the tape and that’s when she learned that she’d forgotten that doug had threatened to kill julie.

Abe: That’s a really big thing to forget.

John: Yeah, yeah, well she said, “well–well–well, this all happened so quickly and you know, and I was so distracted with doug collapsing and everything.” No, she is a professional. She never loses her cool here, so something’s not quite right.

Abe: You think something happened? I mean, something she hadn’t told you?

John: I don’t know but I’m–I’m pretty sure that there’s something on that doug’s session tape that could tell me a hell of a lot.

Abe: You’re not thinking of playing that tape, are you? The ethics.

John: I gotta do something, abraham, or I’m never gonna figure out what’s going on with my wife.

Paulina: I thought a shrink was supposed to listen to people, not tell them what to do.

Marlena: Look, I’m speaking to you as someone who has known and cared about abe longer than you have sista.

Paulina: You mocking me, marlena?

Marlena: No, I’m just stating a fact.

Paulina: Well, let me give you a fact. Now, I may not have known abe for as long as you have, but I–I love the hell out of that man.

Marlena: Yes, I know you do. And–and what is love really? I mean, it’s–it’s honesty and being willing to tell the truth.

Paulina: I swore to take the secret to my grave. And if I don’t it would put abe into his. I might finally have my daughter but abe would lose the apple of his eye. Now, how can I–how can I break the heart of the best man that I’ve ever known?

Marlena: Look, you are about to take a sacred oath to be–to be–to be true to abe. And how can you do that knowing that you’re–you’re lying to him about being lani’s mother.

Paulina: Well, it’s not like a bolt of lightning is just gonna come in through the chapel window and strike me dead.

Marlena: Are you sure? I know that you’re a woman of faith, so I know it’s imperative that you tell abe and lani the truth. And if you don’t, god have mercy on your soul.

Eli: Hi, I’m eli grant from the salem pd. We are here to see doug williams.

Kessler: I’m sorry, detective, but mr. Williams isn’t allow visitors.

Eli: Well, this is a police matter so I have to insist.

Ben: Hey.

Ciara: Hi.

Gabi: Where’s jake?

Jake: Carmine.

Carmine: Jakey lambert.

Jake: It’s dimera now.

Carmine: The name has changed but I’m betting your game is still the same.

Jake: Not exactly.

Carmine: Come on. You can take the wise guy out of philly, but you can’t take philly out of the wise guy.

Jake: Huh.

Carmine: Am I right?

Jake: I hear you’re thinking of testifying that I’m the one who killed jed zanetti. We both know that’s a lie.

Carmine: My word against yours, jakey.

Jake: Either way, we were both there and it’s in our mutual best interest for you to keep your mouth shut.

Carmine: Let me worry about what’s in my best interest, okay?

Jake: How much is phillip paying you?

Carmine: Who said anybody’s pay me anything?

Jake: Why else would you lie? Why else would you be chirping about this now?

Carmine: I got nothing to say to you.

Jake: I’ll pay you. Huh? I’ll match whatever phil’s paying you and throw a little something extra on top.

Carmine: Sorry, not interested.

Jake: Oh.

[Cocks gun] You lie about me, you lose your life. That work for you, carmine? It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Lani: Aunt paulina, what brings you here?

Demon marlena: [Chuckles] All that arrogance. You’re such a fool, paulina. You know, you should have listened to your instinct for self-survival. Now I’m just gonna give you a little nudge and then you’ll tell lani that you really her mother and abe’s not her father. And then–[Laughs] And then– and then all hell’s gonna break loose.

[Phone rings]

Marlena: Dr. Evans.

Kessler: This is nurse kessler from bayview. Julie williams is here with a detective grant insisting she be allowed to see her husband.

Marlena: You don’t say.

John: There we go. Now, forgive me god, but I gotta get to the bottom of this.

Marlena: You need to stop talking like this, doug. This is just your–your mind playing tricks on you. And that’s why I’m here. I’m here to help.

Ben: Jake said he had something to take care of and that he would catch up with you later.

Gabi: Did he say what that was?

Ben: He just said it was something that couldn’t wait.

Carmine: [Laughs] You’re killin’ me. You with a gun. Come on, jake, you’re a pussycat. There’s no way that you would shoot me. And we both know it.

Jake: [Grunting]

Carmine: See what I mean? You couldn’t do what needed to be done. Just like you couldn’t with jed zanetti. Luckily, I got no problem doing what needs to be done.

Abe: What the hell is going on here?

Jake: No!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Chad: I am sorry I’m late.

Abigail: Hi.

Chad: Memorizing lines?

Abigail: No. This is not johnny’s script, but it’s still pretty damn interesting. Turns out we’re a little behind on the local news.

Chad: What the hell?

Abigail: Yeah. Gwen’s in jail for soliciting a judge. And, looks like, this time, she might actually pay for what she did.

Bonnie: Not that I’m in any rush to get back into statesville, at least they have a tv. Of course, you could get a black eye trying to change the channel. Want to play 20 questions? Hey. Hey, hey, hey. You crying?

Gwen: No!

Bonnie: Kid. Hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. I know it’s rough, but you gotta believe me; justin’s brilliant. He’s gonna get us out of here.

Gwen: How? He’s in the same boat that we are in. He’s in a bloody cell, just like us.

[Sighs] God, this is driving me absolutely mad, knowing that xander’s just down the hall, but he might as well be in bloody siberia.

Bonnie: Honey, it’s always darkest before the dawn.

Officer: Lockhart?

Bonnie: What?

Officer: Out.

Bonnie: Why? Where are you taking me?

Gwen: Jack.

Officer: Let’s go.

Bonnie: Listen, jack, whatever happens– whatever happens to me, you tell justin I love him. Please, just promise me that. Ow. God!

Jack: I promise. I promise. Sweetheart. How are you?

Gwen: I’m sorry. I completely messed everything up. Please don’t hate me.

[Tense music]

Xander: Can’t stop thinking about what trask said. If uncle victor comes through, we just might be off the hook.

Justin: It must mean that he’s made some headway with her.

Xander: You think?

Justin: What I don’t get is why… she would tip her hand to us like that–and make a special trip down here to do it.

Xander: It’s the power trip.

Justin: Didn’t seem like one.

Xander: No, I know her type. She just wanted to remind us that she still owns us… throw her weight around so we don’t notice that victor’s already won and she’s about to cave.

Justin: But why cave? I mean, she lives for headlines. She has a slam dunk, front-page case against us. What the hell does victor have that is worth more to her than that?

Steve: Hey, sweetness.

Kayla: Hey.

Steve: Sorry I’m late.

Kayla: No, I just got here. Remember I told you that I put a call into bayview?

Steve: Yeah. To get them to let julie in to see doug, right?

Kayla: Yeah. Well, I heard back from him right after you left.

Steve: And how’d it go?

Kayla: They won’t budge.

Steve: Why not?

Kayla: Well, they said it’s not their decision, that they are just following orders. Marlena’s orders.

Steve: What?

Kayla: Yeah, apparently she extended the order that doug can’t talk to anybody except the bayview staff. I mean, keeping julie from doug? Marlena’s not that kind of doctor. In fact, she’s not that kind of person.

Steve: No. So what are you gonna do?

Kayla: Well, it’s too late to do anything now, so I’m gonna have to take care of it in the morning.

[Exhales] I’m pretty fun, aren’t I? I bet you’re happy that you are having dinner with me.

Steve: Baby, I’m always happy to have dinner with you. You know that.

Kayla: You know what I want?

Steve: What?

Kayla: I want a drink… and I want to change the subject.

Steve: I can make that happen. So… what do you want to talk about? The cubs?

Kayla: No. I want you to tell me what victor wanted.

Steve: Nothing much. He just wants black patch to find kristen dimera.

Nicole: Oh, gosh, nicole.

Ej: Allow me.

Nicole: Ej. Um… what are you doing here?

Ej: I believe you and i have some unfinished business.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Nicole: Um… ej, if you’re here to discuss the spring projections…

Ej: I think you know that’s not why I’m here.

[Dramatic music]

Our dinner at julie’s place was a fiasco. I’m here to humbly ask for a do-over.

Kayla: So victor wants you to find kristen.

Steve: Uh-huh. And he’s offering a handsome reward for her.

Kayla: What is it? Some kind of vigilante justice? Is he gonna build a guillotine in his backyard? No, no, I take that back. I bet he already has one.

Steve: No, nothing like that. He’s made some kind of deal with melinda trask.

Kayla: Oh, god. The one person on earth who hates kristen more than victor.

Steve: With good reason. Kristen did kill her daughter.

Kayla: So it’s obviously revenge.

Steve: Right. Since victor knows that, he’s offering kristen to her.

Kayla: In exchange for what?

Steve: Dropping the charges against justin and xander.

Xander: No, you’re right. I just don’t see victor being able to pay trask off. Power means more to her than money.

Justin: Trask knows if she took a bribe from him, she’d be in his back pocket for the rest of her career.

Xander: Yeah, she’s already got us in here for soliciting a judge; I mean, imagine the headlines if she put victor kiriakis away for bribery.

Justin: Right. So we know it’s not about money. God only knows how victor’s mind works.

Xander: Well, you know what was weird? She said he was trying to get both of us out. Now, you, I understand he’ll move heaven and earth for, but me? I mean, we’re not on the best of terms to begin with, and now I’ve dragged you down with me.

Justin: You’re family. That’s victor’s bottom line.

Officer: Let’s go, kiriakis.

Xander: My god, he did it. He got us out.

Officer: No, not you, beefcake. Just him. Move it.

Justin: Where are you taking me?

Officer: You’ll see. Want your clothes to smell freshly washed

Nicole: Ej, tonight’s not a good night. You know, it’s been a long day and holly’s at a sleepover and I could really use a good night’s sleep.

Ej: But you’ve still got to eat.

Nicole: I think I’ve got some fried rice in the refrigerator. I should be fine, right? Rice doesn’t go bad?

Ej: Ah. Nicole, how about if I promise to have you back before curfew? We’ll go to julie’s place for food that isn’t three weeks old. I could call ahead and make sure there’s a dry martini waiting for you.

Nicole: Oh, you remembered my achilles’ heel.

Ej: So is that a yes?

Nicole: [Sighs] Yes. I guess so. Yes. Could you just give me– give me a minute to fix up?

Ej: Nicole… you don’t need to fix up. Nothing about you needs fixing.

Chad: So no one could ever accuse gwen of being prudent, but to come onto a judge?

Abigail: She did more than come onto him. She flat out offered to sleep with him if he threw out xander’s court case. And it was more than a he-said-she-said thing. I mean, the man was wearing a wire.

Chad: And now she’s facing prison time.

Abigail: Could be up to five years.

Chad: I mean, a judge. She had to have known she was taking a huge risk.

Abigail: Well, you know, I’m sure it never occurred to her that any man would ever have the willpower to turn her down.

Chad: Touché.

Abigail: But what I don’t understand is, why xander? I’ve known this woman to do anything for anyone other than herself, and now xander?

Chad: He always did bring out the best in people. Have you talked to your dad? This must have come as a huge shock to him.

Abigail: I don’t think anything gwen said or did could come as a shock to him now.

Chad: Not even offering to sleep with a judge?

Abigail: It’s not that much of a stretch. Turns out she and my dad had a little heart-to-heart, and she told him that, back in philly, she used to be a sex worker.

Jack: Gwen, I could never hate you. Do you think I would even be here if I blamed you for what happened?

Gwen: I am to blame for everything. It’s bad enough that I’ve messed up xander’s life, but now justin’s too.

Jack: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold it right there. First of all, you didn’t put a gun to xander’s head. He screwed up his own life. And it’s not the first time.

Gwen: But justin–

Jack: Oh… [Sighs] He’s gonna get off, believe me. Look, he was planning to marry bonnie lockhart. That’s a rock-solid insanity defense if there ever was one.

Gwen: [Chuckles] Yeah, she is special, isn’t she?

Jack: Yeah, that’s one word for it. Yeah.

Gwen: God, how’d you even get in here to come and see me?

Jack: It wasn’t easy. Finally had to play the reporter card. So you tell me, are you eating? Sleeping?

Gwen: I’m okay.

Jack: Mm-hmm? Bonnie’s not driving you crazy?

Gwen: Well, you know, I thought at first that she would. But… she’s actually been quite a distraction. And in her own weird way, she’S… she’s been very nice to me.

Jack: You know, the two of you shouldn’t even be in here together. She’s being charged with murder! She could be dangerous.

Gwen: I don’t know. I’m actually sort of worried about her. Do you-do you know where that cop just took her now?

Bonnie: Justin! What are you doing here?

Justin: Well, I understand you’ve been demanding to see your lawyer.

Bonnie: I have. I’ve been so worried about you! I just didn’t think they’d let me see you ’cause you’re in here too.

Justin: I haven’t been convicted or disbarred, so technically I am still your lawyer. So there’s no reason for me to not be here, and–not that there’s much that I can do for you in here.

Bonnie: You could give me a hug.

Justin: Sure.

Officer: No–no touching.

[Emotional music]

You got five minutes.

Bonnie: Justin, what have I done to you?

[Sobs] Sorry.

Kayla: So victor plans to spring justin and xander and leave bonnie to rot in prison.

Steve: Not to mention my niece, gwen.

Kayla: Look, I understand that he is paying for a job, but don’t you think it’s horribly unfair that he would ask you to only help his family members?

Steve: I do. But who says I have to go along with his plan?

Kayla: You’re thinking of double-crossing victor kiriakis? The man who invented revenge?

Steve: I won’t be double-crossing him. He’ll get what he wants. But now that I know what trask is after, I can go to her and tell her the price went up. If she wants kristen, she’ll have to drop the charges against bonnie and gwen too.

Kayla: Steve, no.

Steve: No what?

Kayla: No, it’s dangerous! Please. You cannot take this case. People everywhere living with type 2 diabetes

Chad: So that’s what dr. Snyder was holding over gwen–was that– was that she was a sex worker.

Abigail: That’s what she told my dad, anyway.

Chad: Okay, so xander is sitting in jail for something gwen did, just to keep the truth from your dad, but your dad already knows the whole story?

Abigail: Yeah, but I have a feeling that’s not the whole story. And quite frankly, I don’t believe a word of it.

Jack: I’m working on getting you a new lawyer. Okay?

Gwen: Thank you.

Jack: Okay. This is what I’m thinking. We can argue that since justin was a lawyer and he okayed the plan, you had no idea how serious it was when you–

Gwen: No, he tried to talk us out of it, jack. He only went to smails after I had gone to see him and… made the offer. I came up with the idea all on my own.

Jack: Damn it, gwen. Why did you do it? Didn’t you know the whole thing was gonna blow up in your face? Why didn’t you… why didn’t you come to me?

Gwen: Because there was nothing that you could do… then. There is something that you can do, though, now.

Jack: Name it.

Gwen: Give xander a message for me.

Bonnie: Steve was right. I ruined your life.

Justin: Bonnie! We only have five minutes together, and I don’t intend to waste it listening to you cry.

Bonnie: All right. Even in the slammer, you had a handkerchief.

Justin: Bonnie!

Bonnie: No, you’re just such a classy guy, and I’m a worthless piece of–

Justin: Bonnie, stop! Don’t talk like that about the woman I love.

Bonnie: Still?

Justin: Yes, still!

Bonnie: You’re nuts!

Justin: Probably!

Bonnie: Look, I need you to listen to me like you never listened to me before, do you understand? This is important! You can’t worry about me. I’ve done time. I know how to handle myself. But justin, you don’t know what they do to guys with handkerchiefs in statesville. So you gotta do whatever it takes to get out, do you understand me? You tell trask that you will turn dime on me. And as long as she drops the charges against you, you gotta do and say whatever she wants you to say. Do you understand?

Justin: I won’t do that.

Bonnie: You have to. It’s the only way out here!

Justin: No. Fortunately, it’s not.

Steve: Baby, I have to do this. I can’t watch justin and bonnie and gwen go to statesville if there’s something I can do about it.

Kayla: This isn’t just about double-crossing victor. It’s about finding kristen and bringing her back here. Do you think she’s gonna do that without a fight? And when she fights, she kills people.

Steve: I can handle kristen.

Kayla: How are you even gonna find her? Nobody has seen or heard from her in months. How will you track her down?

Nicole: [Laughing]

Steve: I think the answer to that might have just walked through the door.

[Intriguing music]

Advil dual action fights pain 2 ways.

Xander: Jack! Oh, it’s good to see you, mate.

Jack: Nice place you got here.

Xander: Look, I’m so sorry about gwen. I swear, I was totally against her going to that judge. Just, I was in custody. I couldn’t stop her.

Jack: I know. I know. She told me it was all her idea.

Xander: Well, not exactly. I was the one who started talking about trying to prove that smails was dirty. She was just so desperate to help. But it is on me.

Jack: You know, the two of you have a very interesting relationship. You think everything is your fault, and she thinks everything is hers.

Xander: What’s that supposed to mean?

Jack: It means that she wants me to tell trask that she was the one delivering drugs for snyder, and you had nothing to do with it–that, at least you should get out of this free, that maybe you’ll just get a slap on the wrist for dumping the body, and that’s it.

Xander: No! Jack, you can’t do that.

Jack: No, no! Look. Gwen’s just trying to help you, xander; please, just let her do it.

Xander: Jack, promise me you will not say a word about this to trask.

Jack: Why not?

Chad: So you think gwen lied to your dad.

Abigail: After everything that he’s forgiven her for– drugging me, trying to ruin his marriage, seducing you, not to mention the fight that she had with grandma that ended up in her, you know, dead… to think that being a sex worker is gonna be the one thing that he couldn’t get past?

Chad: So she had to–she had to come up with something to explain the blackmail.

Abigail: Yeah, but it’s a shrewd lie, right? And he already feels guilty about her. And then she says she was forced to sell her body? He’s not gonna dwell on that. He’s sure as hell not gonna challenge it.

Chad: No, you just put your fingers over your ears and go, ” ahh!” I mean, but… but seriously, I mean, it is all supposition.

Abigail: It’s a working hypothesis. One, snyder had to have something really big on her in order for her to be willing to take that big of a risk. Two, if the threat is telling my dad, then it must have been something that he would not be able to forgive.

Chad: Just refer to all of the other terrible things that she’s done that your father’s forgiven her for.

Abigail: Right, but I think the one red line that I can think of is if she deliberately hurt his family– me, my mom, jj, or our kids.

Chad: She–she already has. I mean, your–your–your dad knows everything that she’s done, and he asked her to move in with him.

Abigail: Yeah, but he did that because when she did those things, she thought that he had deliberately abandoned her and that I had stolen her life, but now that–she knows it’s not true.

Chad: So the threat isn’t something from the past. ‘Cause he’d forgive that.

Abigail: I think that if she did something deliberately after she knew the truth, it’d be a totally different story.

Kayla: You think that ej knows where kristen is?

Steve: Well, we know kristen sent ej the letter telling him about sami’s affair with lucas. So at the very least, she’s been in touch with him.

Kayla: Even if he knows, he’s not gonna give up his own sister, especially to you.

Steve: No, but nicole might.

Kayla: Nicole? Why would she know anything?

Steve: Well, wasn’t she the one who handed the letter over to ej, to get back at sami for blowing up her marriage? Maybe there was a postmark on it or something that she saw. And unlike ej, nicole hates kristen.

Kayla: I thought she hates ej too, but they look awfully cozy for a business dinner.

Ej: So now that you have your martini, shall we talk about basic black’s new line?

Nicole: I think we need to talk about you kissing me. What was that about?

Kayla: We need to find a way to get nicole alone.

Steve: “We”? I thought you said I shouldn’t do this.

Kayla: I know, but I thought about what you said, about helping justin and bonnie and gwen. So I think that we need to do something. And I have an idea.

Ej: That kiss was an impulse. You said you didn’t want to be kissing rafe. I was trying to provide a viable alternative. I’m sorry if I overstepped my bounds.

Nicole: You did. But it’s not like I tried to stop you. And I let you talk me into taking me out to dinner, which I probably shouldn’t have done.

Ej: We’re both going through a divorce. It’s not as if we’re doing anything wrong.

Nicole: It’s not about wrong or right; it’s about being stupid and really stupid.

Ej: So you think, because we’re both going through nasty divorces and that we have a truly bizarre and complex personal history and that neither one of us have ever been remotely reliable, this might not be a good idea?

Nicole: Something along those lines, yes.

Ej: Yeah. But it could be fun to see what happens. And, as I recall, when we did have fun, we had pretty spectacular fun.

Nicole: Okay. We paid for that fun, big time.

Ej: So you’re telling me you’re now sadder and wiser and don’t want to risk making the same mistakes all over again. Hmm?

Nicole: That’s right. However, if you buy me another martini, we can talk about it.

Steve: Where you going?

Kayla: Garcon! Garcon, mr. Dimera here wants a drink or something or other. I just had to come over here and confirm for myself that the two of you were here together! And I wasn’t just seeing things.

Steve: Baby, listen, let’s go get you something to eat.

Kayla: No, no, no, no, no, no, just a second, now. I’m catching up with my old pal ej.

Ej: Old pal? You hate me, as I recall.

Kayla: Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Hated. Hated. As in past tense. No, I mean, you brainwashed my husband. I mean, I’m sure that you had a good reason to do that. And you! And you, nicole. This must be, like, the craziest déj vu for you. I mean–I mean, how many times were you guys married?

Steve: Come on. Let’s let them be now.

Kayla: Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

Steve: Come on. Let’s go.

Ej: We were just trying to order.

Kayla: Oh, well, you know what, the rack of lamb is my very favorite. It’s right here.

Steve: Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Nicole: Oh, my gosh.

Kayla: Oh, my gosh, that’s probably a silk tie, isn’t it?

Ej: It was.

Kayla: Ah, triage! Get that to the men’s room, stat! You need to douse that baby with water. I mean, really clean it and get that stain out of there. Move it! Move it over there! Go on! Head on out!

Steve: Okay, okay.

Kayla: Go.

Steve: That’s enough.

Kayla: That way.

[ Crow squawks ]

Bonnie: So trask said victor has a way to get us off the hook?

Justin: That’s what she said.

Bonnie: Maybe she doesn’t have enough evidence against us.

Justin: There’s a recording of me extorting a judge. And they found a dead body with a bullet in our bed. That’s the kind of evidence a da dreams about.

Bonnie: Well, maybe she finally figured out that that judge is crooked and is going after him instead.

Justin: Bonnie, I don’t want to use this time talking about our case. I want to talk about us.

Bonnie: Oh.

Justin: God only knows what victor is trying or if it’ll work. But I want you to know that whatever happens, I still want to marry you, even if we have to have the ceremony in the statesville cafeteria.

Bonnie: Oh, god, justin.

Justin: Bonnie, don’t cry.

Bonnie: I can’t help it. I know I don’t deserve you. I don’T. But I love you so much. God, I miss you so much.

Justin: I miss you too.

Officer: That’s it; time’s up.

Chad: So even if she is lying, how can we prove it? Snyder’s dead.

Abigail: I hope that was a really painful death and he is burning in hell somewhere.

Chad: Okay.

Abigail: I mean, think about it. Because of me, she loses her baby. And then–

Chad: But that-that was an accident.

Abigail: But he’s her doctor, and it must have been one of the lowest moments of her life; he blackmails her? What a pig.

Chad: I agree. So… you feel sorry for gwen?

Abigail: I feel sorry for her, yeah. I feel guilty about her, I hate her, and I wish she’d never been born.

Chad: Okay, then–then why don’t we just let her go? I mean, she’s made her decision. Why don’t we just let the cards fall where they may? And then you and I, we can focus on us and the kids.

Abigail: I can’T.

Chad: Why? Because you feel guilty?

Abigail: No; because of my dad. Snyder must have known that gwen did something my dad could never forgive. It must have been horrible, personal. Of all the things that gwen has done to my dad, I think the worst is yet to come. And to protect him… I gotta find out what it is.

Xander: Jack, you can’t tell the da the truth about gwen.

Jack: Think about it, xander. Maybe if gwen comes clean, they’ll go easy on you.

Xander: No, no, no, no, listen: She can’t say a word about any of it, because–look, there’s a good chance that all the charges against us are just gonna go away.

Jack: You’re delusional. I mean, the evidence is overwhelming!

Xander: No, I’m not delusional. Justin and I heard it from trask herself.

Jack: Why in god’s name would trask let you off?

Xander: I have no idea.

Ej: I hope you’re not operating on anyone tonight.

Kayla: [Giggles] You’re funny. You’re hilarious.

Steve: Okay, okay.

Nicole: [Stammers] Are you okay?

Kayla: I’m fine.

Steve: And stone-cold sober.

Nicole: Right. So what’s going on?

Kayla: We need to get you alone.

Steve: We need to ask you some questions about kristen dimera. On the outside, I looked fine.

Jack: Justin.

Justin: Jack.

Jack: Look, I just wanted to tell you, bonnie asked me to tell you that she loves you.

Justin: I know. I just talked to her.

[Cell phone ringing]

Jack: Oh. Um… look, I just want you to– I’m so sorry that you got pulled into all of this. I have no idea what’s going on. Xander wouldn’t have even been charged if gwen had just told the truth.

Justin: Actually, it’s a little more complicated than that.

Jack: What’s that supposed to mean?

Gwen: Justin can be your lawyer from jail? That’s weird.

Bonnie: Oh, yeah, weird. And great.

Gwen: Does he think that he can win your case?

Bonnie: Uh, no, not exactly.

Gwen: Then why do you look so happy?

Bonnie: Can you keep a secret?

[Sentimental music]

Abigail: I think aunt kayla might be able to help me get to the bottom of this.

Chad: How?

Abigail: Whatever snyder had on gwen might still be in his office.

Chad: Abs, uh, are you sure you wanna do this?

Abigail: I have to. For dad.

[Cell phone blips]

Nicole: So by the time I got the letter, it was already out of the envelope. I never saw a postmark.

Steve: But you read the letter. Was there anything in there that could have given you any idea of where she might be?

Nicole: No. Look, I wish I could help. I am sick of that woman getting away with murder.

Steve: Maybe you can help.

Nicole: What are you doing?

Steve: If ej has been in contact with kristen, it would be in here.

Nicole: Okay, if he found out you were messing with his phone…

Steve: You gonna tell him?

Kayla: Kristen locked you up and stole your life. Wouldn’t you like to repay the favor?

Nicole: Well, what about the passcode?

Steve: There are ways around that.

Nicole: All right, fine, just hurry up, okay?

[Tense music]

I thought I was managing my moderate

Abigail: Okay, I am going to turn this off.

Chad: I thought you were waiting to hear from kayla.

Abigail: Oh, it can wait till morning. Want some more wine?

Chad: Yes, thank you.

Abigail: Mm-hmm. Chad.

Chad: I am right here.

Abigail: Uh-huh. Before, you were talking about us focusing more on us and the kids.

Chad: No, no, no, forget–forget what I said. You gotta–you gotta look after your dad. It is what it is. You gotta-you gotta do what you gotta do.

Abigail: I will, but I don’t think that that means that we can’t focus on us and the kids. You know, all the stuff with dad and gwen has just been really weighing me down, but…

Chad: I can tell.

Abigail: But tonight, I just felt like I was able to talk to you about it, and you really listened. And it really helped me sort things out, and… you know… it just felt like before. Felt like we were us again, and… I want it to stay that way.

Chad: Not as much as I do.

Abigail: Starting to feel like home again.

Chad: Thank god.

Kayla: He’s coming! He’s coming! He’s coming!

Ej: What’s going on here?

[Tense music]

Jack: What’s more complicated than I think?

Justin: If gwen was a sex worker, what was snyder using to blackmail her? Or was that all a lie? Or maybe she was just like every other drug runner–in it for the money.

Xander: No, he was blackmailing her. She’d never do it otherwise. She hates drugs because of her mother.

Justin: So what did snyder have on this paragon of virtue?

Xander: Don’t talk about her like that!

Justin: Well, how the hell am I supposed to talk about her?

Xander: Her life was hell! But now she has one thing that matters to her–after all these years, she finally has a father who loves her, and I’m not doing or saying anything to screw that up.

Justin: So she told jack that she was a sex worker, meaning that that wasn’t as bad as what snyder was using to blackmail her. What the hell did she do?

Xander: Can’t tell you. I promised her I wouldn’T.

Justin: So you do know what she did. And you know why– that she would do anything to keep jack from finding it out. Now that xander’s confessed to a crime he didn’t commit, telling the truth could open a whole can of worms. Trust me. You don’t want to go there.

Gwen: Justin told you that trask might be dropping the charges against the four of us.

Bonnie: That’s right.

Gwen: Why?

Bonnie: Hell if I know. But it’s gotta be something really big. Mm-hmm.

[Both laugh excitedly]

Ej: Why are the two of you still here?

Nicole: Actually, they were just leaving.

Kayla: Well, I wanted to see about maybe paying for your dry cleaning.

Ej: Not necessary. Now, if you’ll excuse us–

Steve: All right, all right. We’re on our way out.

Kayla: I need my things.

Steve: I’ll get your things. Sorry to interrupt.

Kayla: Thank you.

Steve: I’m really sorry.

Kayla: I’ll get the door.

Steve: Okay.

Ej: God, I hate them.

Nicole: They’re–they’re gone now, so let’S… let’s just forget it.

Kayla: Well?

Steve: Got it. If I can trace it, track kristen down in time, justin and bonnie and gwen and xander will go free, and kristen dimera will be in jail, where she belongs.

Kayla: Good.

Donna: No, it’s just um… you know, katie was talking about confronting carter. Defending eric like that. I want to do that too. Eric needs all of our support.

Eric: Did I hear my name?

Brooke: You did.

Eric: What have I done now?

Brooke: You’ve just been on our minds.

Donna: You always are.

Carter: Sorry we had to rush back here.

Carter: Yeah, have to do lunch and work at the same time.

Katie: Yeah, you know um, I can give you some utensils if you want to take your lunch back to your office.

Carter: Or we can eat together if that’s all right with you.

Katie: Yeah, that’s okay with me.

Deacon: Stupid waste…

Sheila: Would you stop? You’re grumbling. I told you lunch is on me.

Deacon: Look, you’ve already given me a place to stay. I don’t want to owe you for anything else.

Sheila: I think what you really meant to say right there is, “thank you, sheila.”

Deacon: Thank you, sheila. I am grateful, okay? But you’ve done enough. I think it’s time for me to leave L.A.. looked, I listened to everything you had to say but there’s no sense in sticking around here for something that’s never gonna happen. I wanna see my daughter, but hope’s family, they are never gonna let us be close.

Carter: Katie, these projections are right on the money.

Katie: Well, business 101: Never over-promise.

Carter: Ah, set attainable goals. I can use a lesson in that.

Katie: You know, carter, if I had known how you really feel, I never would have come down on you so hard about quinn.

Carter: And I shouldn’t have made conclusions about you. But we did have a great conversation, though.

Katie: Yeah, you know, once we got the yelling out of the way.

Carter: Yeah, well I did deserve to be yelled at. You care about eric a lot.

Katie: Yeah, I do.

Carter: Me too. Even if my involvement with his wife makes that hard to believe.

Katie: I believe you. I know what it’s like to fall for the wrong person.

Donna: We weren’t gossiping about you or anything.

Brooke: We’ve been worried, eric.

Eric: I’m well aware how you feel about my marriage to quinn.

Donna: No, it’s not that, it’s just, um… we’re concerned about you. Are you happy, eric?

Eric: Donna, I love how much you and your sisters care about me. I’m very lucky to have so many people looking out for me. Thank you.

Charlie: Uh… ahem. Cough. Sorry to interrupt, boss. But– pammy’s on another call but she wanted me to remind you you have a meeting in the cutting room.

Eric: Aha. Thank you. Thanks, charlie. Thank you. Well, I won’t keep them waiting.

Steffy: Kelly should be up from her nap soon.

Finn: Yeah, she didn’t want to close her eyes, she was so excited about today.

Steffy: Finn told kelly the sooner she fell asleep, the sooner she’d be able to wake up and get to hang out with her mommy and daddy. She’s really excited.

Liam: Oh, good move.

Finn: Yeah, thanks man. Okay. I’m– I should get going.

Steffy: Okay. Bye.

Liam: You going to the hospital?

Finn: Yeah, at some point. I’m going to get some food first.

Hope: Oh, that sounds good. I have been craving il giardino lately.

Finn: You wanna go together?

Hope: Uh, right now? I mean, yeah if… yeah?

Liam: Yeah, go.

Steffy: Yeah, sounds like fun. We’ll see you later.

Liam: Just stay out of trouble.

Hope: Okay. Bye.

Steffy: Bye.

Sheila: So, you’re giving up?

Deacon: Look, I’ve already caused hope so much pain. The last thing I want to do is make her life more difficult.

Sheila: It was her family making things difficult, not you.

Deacon: Well, I’m not going to win hope over by defying her family. A’right, maybe– maybe it’s just better if I go.

Sheila: No. No. I’m not letting you leave. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Carter: I’m not making excuses but I want to be clear. When I fell for quinn, my relationship with zoe had uh… it went down in flames and I don’t think I realized how devastated I was.

Katie: Rebounding with eric’s wife might have been a little extreme.

Carter: It was very extreme. Still, there was this intense connection. That’s why I asked her to run away with me.

Katie: It’s hard putting your faith in someone that you can’t rely on.

Carter: Yeah, I had a lot of time alone to think about that. Days are fine… it’s going home to an empty house.

Katie: Sounds like you hate being alone almost as much as I do.

Charlie: So neither of you have seen quinn?

Brooke: No… what has she done now?

Charlie: Oh, nothing. It’s just a shipment of jewels came in and she needs to sign for it.

Brooke: So, nothing strange is going on?

Charlie: No, no, nothing strange with mrs. F. She’s– she’s just a touch hard to keep track of these days. Yeah, but… any who, I’m sure she’s lurking somewhere and I’ll find her. But, thanks ladies.

Donna: Lurking. As I was saying, eric deserves so much better.

Brooke: We have to do something.

Donna: What can we do?

Brooke: Not we. You.

Donna: Me?

Brooke: Honey if you still have feelings for eric, you have to let him know.

Donna: Oh… uh…

Liam: How is this even– how did I lose again? You just sit there and you eat your cheese puff things, no mercy for your dear old dad. Ruthless. Just ruthless.

Steffy: She was taking it easy on you. But honestly, you really, really suck at this.

Liam: I am not– I do not. I do not suck at this. I think you two are in cahoots against me. I think that’s what’s happening right now.

Kelly: No.

All right, all right, fine. Well I’ll tell you what. When hayes wakes up, he’s gonna be on my team and then we’ll see who wins. What do you think about that?

Steffy: Actually, when hayes& wakes up, we should go down to the beach and have a picnic.

Liam: That is not a bad idea. Yeah. Although, that doesn’t give me much time to redeem myself so shuffle up mom. I’m going to show you what’s what.

Steffy: I don’t know about that. Daddy has no idea what he’s doing.

Liam: I know how to play the game.

Steffy: Do you?

Liam: It’s just physics. I just don’t– it’s like–

Steffy: Mm-hm.

Sheila: If you leave now, you’re a fool.

Deacon: Sheila, I didn’t come back here to cause problems for my kid.

Sheila: God, you know what I hate more than somebody who’s negative, deacon? A whiner. What are you going to do, huh? You gonna quit? Are you gonna crawl back into that bottle? Maybe– maybe even go back to jail?

Deacon: Staying here is a dead end for us. For both of us. You love your son. I love my daughter. But sheila, we’re screw ups. Get it? They’re good. They’re happy. Let’s leave them the hell alone.

Sheila: No, no, we were screw ups. My son loves me. He put my grandson in my arms. And if it weren’t for steffy and that horrible, unforgiving family, I’d be sitting here having lunch with him right now. I’m not gonna let anyone keep me from my son or my grandson because we’re family and I will never give up on being a part of his life.

Deacon: Good luck with that.

Sheila: Woah-woah-woah-woah! Where are you going?

Deacon: I told you. I’m out of here.

Sheila: Oh no. No. You can not– sit down.

Deacon: Sheila, don’t order me around–

Sheila: Look. They’re here. Our children are right here.

See blood when you brush or

floss

Carter: Mm. When does will get a break from boarding school?

Katie: Oh, not soon enough. Though, I’m not going to complain. He’s really happy there.

Carter: What about you? Before you talked about bill…

Katie: Well, surprise, surprise, he wants me back. And uh, he’s pretty determined…

Carter: Well, I can understand him not wanting to lose you.

Katie: Yeah, well um, bill doesn’t like to lose anything. Ever.

Carter: If bill can’t put you first, you deserve somebody who will.

Katie: I’m gonna tell you something. And I haven’t said this to anyone. I haven’t told even my sisters. I haven’t even really said it out loud. I’m not going back to bill. Our relationship is over. I have got to believe that there’s another man out there for me. A better man.

Donna: I am not going to tell eric how I feel about him. He’s married!

Brooke: He’s married to quinn. Donna, eric is the love of your life. And you don’t want to see him hurting this way. You and eric have had some wonderful times together, honey. Good things are worth fighting for. And you and eric, you were very, very good together.

Liam: Is kelly getting hayes ready for the beach?

Steffy: Yep, she is picking out his outfit.

Liam: Oh, my god. Girl’s got fashion in her blood.

Steffy: That is true, but she may end up coming out with like, a ski-suit or something.

Liam: And her mother’s eclectic taste, apparently.

Steffy: And her father’s desire to help with everything.

Liam: That’s– well… yeah, okay.

Steffy: Mm-hm.

Liam: She’s pretty special, isn’t she?

Steffy: Yeah. This is really wonderful, you know? That we’re able to come together like this. And I know we would do anything for our children.

Liam: Well, that’s the idea, right? Whatever it takes to make them happy.

Steffy: To keep them safe. Especially from sheila and deacon.

Sheila: Get down before they see you.

Deacon: So, that’s your son?

Sheila: Having lunch with your daughter.

Hope: Oh, thank you.

Sheila: I didn’t know that that hope and finn were so close.

Deacon: What is going on in that diabolical head of yours, sheila?

Sheila: And you wanted to give up. Look at this, right in front of us. Finn wants to see me. Hope wants to see you. Maybe that’s it! Oh, this could be the answer we were waiting for.

Trelegy for copd.

Katie: Ugh, god, the idea of dating again, putting myself out there.

Carter: Yeah, yeah. If only there were apps for that.

Katie: Oh, that sounds awful. You know, I– I like the idea of being desired and having a man who wants me and only me. And having a real connection with somebody.

Carter: Then hold out for that. Don’t settle for anything less.

Katie: Okay, you too.

Carter: Hm. I might need some time to regroup.

Katie: Well, don’t take too much time. And don’t waste your time thinking about quinn. It’s not worth it. And stop thinking of yourself as the guy who always gets left behind because it’s not true. You’re smart, successful… easy on the eyes, not lying. And you’re kind. Anyone would be lucky to be with a man like you.

Brooke: Eric is down in the cutting room so just go talk to him. Tell him what you told me. Okay, maybe it won’t change anything but at least he’ll know how you feel.

Donna: No, eric and I are friends and I– I… I respect his choices, okay? Even if I don’t agree with them.

Brooke: Even if his choices make him miserable? Oh, come on, donna. He needs to be saved from quinn.

Donna: No. I am not going to interfere with their marriage.

Brooke: Oh, stop, stop it! Just admit it, already. You love him, don’t you?

Donna: Yes. Yes, I love eric. My god! I’m always going to love eric.

Deacon: They haven’t seen us.

Sheila: Not yet.

Deacon: Do we want them to? Sheila, what are you thinking? I don’t even want to know, do I?

Finn: I can’t remember the last time I came to a restaurant without having to ask for a booster seat or a kid’s menu.

Hope: Well, do you and steffy ever go out without the kids?

Finn: Yeah, yeah. We just um, have been staying a lot closer to home lately.

Hope: Ah, well, family meals are the best.

Finn: Yeah, I look forward to them all day.

Hope: I don’t believe it.

Finn: No, yeah. I’ve had a long day.

Hope: No, finn. My dad. He’s here.

Finn: Your dad? Where?

Hope: And he is with…

Finn: My mom?

Deacon: Well, they saw us.

Sheila: Well, let’s just act like we haven’t noticed them.

Deacon: Why?

Finn: Did you know they’d be here?

Hope: No. I mean– my dad barely knows sheila. I mean, he’s certainly not friends with her.

Then what are they doing here, together?

Sheila: Finn wants to come over here. I know he does. I mean, he’s under orders from steffy to stay away.

Deacon: See, see, that’s the problem. It’s impossible. Even if I could get hope to talk to me, liam and her family, they’d always be in our way. There’s nothing we can do.

Sheila: Yes, there is.

Finn: We haven’t ordered yet. Let’s just– let’s just go.

> Hope: Don’t you want to know what they’re doing here?

Finn: Liam and steffy, they don’t want us anywhere near them.

Hope: I kind of want to know what they’re up to.

Sheila: They’re our children. Let’s ask them to join us.

Deacon: Join us? They’re not gonna join us, they’re gonna bolt.

Sheila: Well, that can’t happen. We can’t– we can’t let that happen. This is our chance. Go with me.

Deacon: What? N–

Hope: Oh, my gosh. Look.

Deacon: Sheila, what the hell?

Sheila: You love me. You love me like no other.

Deacon: I love you?

Sheila: Yes.

Deacon: Okay.

Finn: Oh, my god, what are they doing?

Hope: I don’t know. I don’t know.

[Laughter]

Katie: Oh, god.

Donna: Oh, when was the last time the three of us had brunch together like this?

Katie: If that’s your way of saying we should do this more often, I agreE.

Brooke: Me, too.

Donna: So, how did it go? Did you talk to carter?

Katie: Yes.

Donna: Well, I hope you gave him a piece of your mind.

Katie: I did.

Donna: About you know, everything that happened with quinn, especially.

Brooke: How it impacted eric.

Katie: Yeah, absolutely, of course I did.

Donna: And?

Brooke: And?

Katie: And, I was a little surprised.

Donna: About what?

Katie: Carter. His feelings for quinn. He really loved her.

Carter: So, I’ll rewrite the exclusivity clause. Make the changes you suggested. And then run it by both you and ridge before I incorporate it in the final document.

Eric: I’d like for you to run this by quinn as well. It’s about the jewelry line after all.

Ridge: Where is the lovely quinn, anyway?

Eric: Ridge, come on–

Ridge: Ah, just still hoping you’re going to kick her to the curb.

Eric: Yes, I’m well aware of that. You feeling the same way, carter?

Carter: Excuse me?

Ridge: I think my dad is asking if you share my opinion on his marriage.

Eric: Actually, I’m a little more curious about your feelings about quinn. Whether you’ve moved on… or not.

Hope: I wonder where zende and paris are? I mean, they knew about this meeting, right?

Thomas: Uh… yeah. I mean i can text them and find out though i’m pretty sure I already know where they are.

Hope: You do?

Thomas: Yeah, zende had this whole big, special event planned for him and paris last night. Took her back to his place. Pretty sure that she’s still there. So…

Paris: Last night was…

Zende: I think “off the charts” works. For me, anyway.

Paris: “Off the charts incredible.” Our first time…

Zende: Definitely not our last.

Hope: It’s really not a big deal but have you seen them?

Charlie: Zende and paris? Uh no, can’t say as I have. But you know, I’ve been kinda busy keeping this well-oiled machine… well-oiled, you know.

Hope: Oh, well, I– by all means, don’t let us hold you up.

Charlie: Uh, no, no. Listen, uh I’ll keep an eye out for ’em. If I see ’em, I’ll let you know.

Hope: Thank you, charlie.

Thomas: I mean, can you believe it? Like, seriously. Can you believe it? The first night I’m roommates with paris, she’s off with my cousin.

Hope: Mm. Well, it seems as if whatever big plans zende had for the two of them certainly turned out to be a memorable evening.

Paris: As much as I’d love to stay here all day like this–

Zende: Don’t say it–

Paris: We have responsibilities that we can’t ignore.

Zende: Hey. Let me help you forget them.

Paris: We’re already late for our hope for the future meeting.

Zende: Just so you know: I’ve found my hope for the future.

Eric: It’s a simple enough question, carter. Or should be.

Carter: What my feelings are for quinn? Um, not sure how to answer that.

Eric: Answer it honestly, carter.

Carter: Okay. It’s no secret that I cared for quinn. What she and I shared was deeper than just a physical connection.

Katie: Carter told me that he fell for quinn– hard. At least, he thought it was love. And looking back…

Donna: Maybe it wasn’t love at all?

Brooke: Well, whatever it was, I mean, who would’ve thought a decent man like carter would ever have those kinds of feelings for somebody like quinn…?

Donna: You know, I-I don’t get it. Not one bit. But, I guess it does help explain why carter made some of the choices he did. Because if it were strictly physical–

Katie: No, apparently it was not. He was following his heart. Something you know a little bit about.

Brooke: Sounds like carter really got to you.

Katie: Yeah, he kind of did. I mean, I walked in there ready to blast him for what he’d done. But then I found myself empathizing with him. And even more surprisingly: I realized that we had more in common than either one of us would’ve thought. Feeling stressed in your skin?

Thomas: Yeah, I like the color.

Hope: Oh, charlie. Hey.

Charlie: Pardon moi. It’s french. Listen, I have searched the gate records, the parking lot footage– zende and paris are nowhere to be found. Want me to send out an apb?

Hope: Oh. Oh no. No. I think it’s, it’s okay. I’m sure they’ll be here any minute.

Charlie: Okay, well, if you change your mind, you know where to find me… in my office. Keeping forrester safe… and secure. Free from nefarious characters.

Hope: Huh.

Thomas: Don’t want those nefarious characters coming around. So this is zende’s latest?

Hope: Uh, yup. Why?

Thomas: Well, I just. It’s interesting. I mean, zende never does anything this asymmetrcal.

Hope: Hmm. And what do you think?

Thomas: I think he’s got something here.

Hope: Agreed. Oh, there they are. We were about to send out a search party.

Zende: I’m sorry I’m late. Time… got away from us.

Hope: Well, I can’t imagine what would be more important than a design meeting. I hope there’s a good explanation.

Zende: Uh, we… overslept?

Hope: Mmm… overslept. Interesting.

Paris: Again, we’re so sorry. It won’t happen again.

Zende: So… what did we miss?

Thomas: Why don’t you two talk about that. I have something I need to run by paris in the design office.

Zende: Uh, hope, I really do apologize–

Hope: You know what, zende? It’s okay, I’m totally messing with you. Zende: Oh, don’t do that. You had me going there. Oy, yoy-yoy, yoy-yoy!

Hope: No, I’m really happy about you and paris. It’s just, you know, for future reference, um… “we overslept,” is not the best excuse in the book. You can do better.

Zende: You know, don’t you?

Hope: Well, thomas might have told me that paris did not come back to the apartment last night. And the rest–

Zende: What can I say? It was an unforgettable evening. In fact, I’m starting to see my future a lot more clearly now. And it’s all about paris.

Ridge: It seems that carter doesn’t want to have this conversation.

Carter: I do. I have to. Your father needs me to be completely honest with him and you do too and that’s what I intend to do.

Eric: Have you been able to move on?

Carter: I’m in the process. Yes. But you need to know, eric, that the connection that quinn and I shared– it’s over. Should’ve never been there from the start. Your marriage– whatever was going on between you and quinn at the time, whatever was going on with me should’ve never led to what it did between us. And I realized that what you said you were okay with, that it wasn’t okay. Me and quinn being together when you couldn’t– you were thinking about her needs, but… look, I’ll forever be deeply sorry for all of it. I hope you believe that, the both of you.

Eric: We do. I do have to wonder though if you might have some residual feelings for quinn, and if, perhaps, you always will.

Katie: I can see you’re both surprised… to find out that carter and i have more in common than either one of us thought.

Donna: Mm-hm.

Katie: Of course, I realized that after I had blasted him and he gave it right back to me.

Donna: Gave it right back to you?

Katie: Well, he talked about how I was lucky in love which is ridiculous. Like, being married to bill was some cakewalk. No drama at all. I mean, that’s insane.

Donna: Sounds like carter hit a nerve with you.

Katie: It’s probably because I had an unexpected visit from bill before I went to go see him. I set him straight. Told him about everything I’ve been through. And how painful it’s been, especially with will away at boarding school. I’m lonely. Work is great, you know. It’s busy, I- I love it. But then I go home to an empty house. Honestly, it was kind of cathartic. I think it was for carter, too. You know, he– he doesn’t want to be a bachelor. He wants to find someone to spend his life with and so do I. And more and more, I– I’m just not sure that that person is bill. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Katie: Okay, enough about me. I want to hear about you guys. I imagine everything is well with you and ridge?

Brooke: Yes, you imagined right.

[Chuckling] Although we are concerned that sheila has slithered back into our lives. And if that’s not alarming enough, deacon is back in town, too.

Katie: We heard.

Brooke: That’s why we’re determined to protect our children. Whatever it takes.

Donna: Meanwhile, my life is so boring that um… I’ve reorganized my closet for like the hundredth time.

Brooke: Ooh!

Katie: Well, you know there’s a solve for that. You can come over and reorganize our closets. No, no, I’m just kidding. You gotta put yourself out there. Find yourself a new guy.

Donna: Oh yeah, believe me, I wish I could but really, there’s only one man for me. My honey bear.

Carter: The last time I spoke to quinn, she made it abundantly clear that she’s committed to you and your marriage.

Ridge: And you believed her?

Carter: Yes.

Ridge: Ah, come on, carter.

Carter: Despite her flaws and mine, we’ve always been truthful with each other. Just like I am with you now. Quinn and I are done. I’m looking forward… not back.

Zende: Look, I’m not one to kiss and tell but since you already figured it out I will admit that paris and I took things to the next level last night.

Hope: Well, I am happy for you, zende… for both of you.

Zende: Me, too. I haven’t felt like this in… and it’s all because of paris, how amazing she is.

Hope: Yeah, I know, she’s pretty great. Even your curmudgeonly cousin, thomas, sees she’s special.

Thomas: You know, contributions to the forrester foundation have doubled in less than a year. Doesn’t really take a genius to figure out why.

Paris: I hope you know that you’re embarrassing me big time.

Thomas: I hope you know that we appreciate you, big time. Though if you start, mm… showing up late with these excuses, like, “I slept in,”… I know you didn’t come home last night. On the outside, I looked fine.

Zende: I know that we need to get to work but can I ask you a quick question, first?

Hope: Sure.

Zende: It’s about thomas. You know my cousin better than anyone.

Hope: I guess that’s fair to say. Yeah.

Zende: Now, I’m not really… insecure but I don’t want to be naive, either.

Hope: About?

Zende: Thomas and paris living together. Do I need to be concerned?

Hope: I spoke to thomas and he is happy for both you and paris.

Thomas: So, I assume that zende poured on the charm and cranked up the romance…

Paris: You make it sound like he has a play-book.

Thomas: Well if he does have a playbook, I should probably take a page out of it. He seems to be doing pretty well in the romance department. He seems to be really happy. And then it’s no wonder why, with such an incredible woman by his side.

Paris: You’re sweet.

Thomas: Zende is one hell of a lucky guy.

Ridge: I have to tell you, dad. I’m still conflicted about carter.

Eric: Well, you need to try to get over that. This whole business is behind us now. Look, I still believe in carter. He’s a fine man. He’ll– he’ll find love. He’ll find the right woman… maybe sooner than we think.

Donna: I’ve only ever known true love once… when I was with eric.

Katie: Oh. Why don’t you tell him how you feel?

Donna: And then what? I mean, come on, it’s not like he’s gonna leave quinn for me.

Brooke: How do you know?

Katie: Yeah.

Donna: Look, I just want eric to be happy. That’s all.

Brooke: He’s never gonna truly by happy with quinn.

Donna: Begging the question. How does a woman like quinn get two terrific guys like eric and carter?

Katie: I have no idea.

Brooke: Oh, god. I’m just glad you had a chance to talk to carter.

Katie: Me too. You know, despite everything that happened with quinn, he’s a good man–

Donna: Not to mention drop dead gorgeous.

Katie: Not to mention that.

Brooke: Oh my goodness. You know, guys, I’m gonna be late for my appointment. I’ve really got to get going.

Donna: Oh my gosh, I totally forgot. I have one too.

Katie: Go, go, go. I will take care of the check. My treat.

Donna: Oh, thank you!

Brooke: Are you sure? Thanks. It was great catching up.

Katie: I know, I’ll see you soon. All right, love you.

Brooke: Love you.

Donna: Love you, love you.

Brooke: Love you more.

Carter: I’m hurting, kate.

Katie: Don’t give up.

Carter: On what?

Kate: On love.

Carter: Maybe my destiny is to be alone.

Katie: You know what I think? I think there’s no such thing as destiny. I think it’s all just luck. Maybe we’re unlucky.

Carter: Hm.

Katie: Unlucky in love.

Carter: Mind if I join you?

Katie: Hi.

Carter: Hey. Thought I’d grab a quick bite before heading back to the office. Uh… by yourself?

Katie: Uh, actually, I was with my sisters. I was just paying the check.

Carter: Okay, then it’s lunch by myself, then.

Katie: You know um, I just really did a lot of talking with them, I didn’t do a lot of eating so I’m still kind of hungry. Do you want to sit down?

Carter: Yeah, yeah. I gotta admit that I get a little self-conscious sometimes eating alone.

Katie: I’ve gotten pretty good at it but it’s always nice to have company. I have to apologize to you again for going off on you about quinn.

Carter: I understand. You care about eric.

Katie: Yeah, I do but still–

Carter: No, no, katie, it’s fine. You’re a very passionate woman. That much was very clear last night. Besides, I should be apologizing to you. Making assumptions about you, and your life, none of which were true. Thanks for setting me straight.

Katie: Well, thanks for setting me straight. I came to your apartment with a very different attitude about you but I realized that we have a lot more in common than we what we thought.

Carter: It’s not fun being alone, is it?

Katie: We’re not alone now.
