Nikki: Leave me alone!

Jack: Let me in, nikki. You’re not okay. None of this is okay.

Nikki: Pretend you didn’t see me.

Jack: No, I saw you.

Nikki: Well, I don’t want to see you, so get out of here.

Jack: I am not going anywhere. I am your sponsor, remember? A job you asked me to do.

Nikki: I am fine. And you’re fired.

Jack: No, you can fire me once you’re sober. Let me in. Come on. You can’t even stand up here. Don’t make me push the door in.

[ Nikki grunts ]

Nikki: Fine. You asked for it.

Jack: My god. What happened here?

Nikki: Oh, what’s the matter, jack? You were just trying to beat my door down a second ago, and now you’re running scared?

Jack: Give me that. Give me that.

Nikki: Hey– well, gee, thanks. What a gentleman. Make mine a double, will ya?

Jack: This is over.

Nikki: Oh, no, it is not. You are not the boss of me. I am the boss of me. And I want a drink, so either pour or get out of here.

Jack: You have had plenty to drink. I’m not going anywhere until I sober you up and take you to a meeting. We can still make the late night meeting.

Nikki: I’m sick of meetings. All those sad sacks. My name is nikki and I’m an alcoholic. God, how many times have I said that in depressing church basements? And where has it gotten me? Huh? Right here. Well, I’m done. It doesn’t work.

Jack: No, it works if you work it–

Nikki: Oh, shut up. I’m not going to a meeting and I’m not going to get sober.

Jack: Nikki.

Nikki: No. Get away.

Jack: Nikki, stop.

[ Nikki pants ]

Nikki: I can’t do it, jack. Not this time. I give up.

Jack: No. No, you are not giving up. Not on my watch.

Nikki: Hey, turn those lights back down. You’re ruining my mood lighting.

Jack: This room is a mess. You are a mess. Your breath reeks of alcohol. It’s oozing out of your pores. Look at yourself.

Nikki: Wow, that’s your idea of a pep talk? Cuz it stinks. I know what I look like. I know what all this looks like, and it’s what it is. It’s a bender. And you’re not invited.

Jack: Could you please send up two bottles– make it four bottles of water, a pot of coffee and an omelet, some sourdough toast and potatoes. And put a rush on it, please. I’ll pay for it.

Nikki: I sure hope that’s for you because that sounds disgusting.

Jack: Well, hopefully, it’ll sober you up.

Nikki: That’s so not true, jack. I mean, why does everybody think that? It just makes you wide awake, drunk with a sick stomach.

Jack: We’ll see who’s right when you eat. Lauren is looking for you. Victor is looking for you. You’re ignored at all my calls.

Nikki: Uh-huh, uh-huh. I got the messages.

Jack: Nikki, talk to me. How did you end up here like this?

Nikki: Well, same way I always do. I am me.

Jack: No, I don’t understand. The whole nightmare with jordan is over. Wait, maybe you haven’t heard. Cole and victoria found claire. She’s okay.

Nikki: Yeah, I know. I got the texts. I– I’m glad that she’s safe. Let’s do a toast to claire.

Jack: Yeah, thank you. Claire is okay. Harrison is home. Jordan is dead. Now, you can stop drinking.

Nikki: None of that changes anything for me.

Jack: Was this just a celebration? Is that what it is? An excuse to get hammered again?

Nikki: I don’t need an excuse.

Jack: Why didn’t you call me when you first got the urge to pick up a bottle again?

Nikki: There’s no point. I mean, it would have just been a huge waste of time for you, just like now is. Don’t you get it? I’m a lost cause. (Vo) you might be used to living with your albuterol asthma

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Jack: Nikki.

Nikki: Hey.

Jack: Listen to me. You are not a lost cause. That is the booze talking. I’m not going to listen to it and neither should you.

Nikki: Get off of me!

Jack: They’re going to bring up food soon. Why don’t you go splash your face with water?

Nikki: Oh. Yeah, you’d like that. I know what you’re doing. You want me to take a good hard look in the bathroom mirror and recognize that I have hit rock bottom and need to pull myself up and all that, but you don’t understand. It is too late. I’ve been here so many times and here I am again.

Jack: You know what? I don’t want to hear this anymore. I don’t know who you see in the mirror. I see a strong, compassionate woman who has been tortured for months by jordan. It has been harrowing, yes, but I know one thing about you. You always come out on the other side of these battles stronger and better.

Nikki: Well, not this time. My family hates me. I’ve let them all down.

Jack: Where is this coming from? Your family could not be more supportive. They’re probably worried sick about you right now, and where you are. In fact, we should give them a call.

Nikki: What? No! No, don’t you dare, jack! Don’t you do that!

Jack: Stop!

Nikki: I had a dream. Do you hear me? I had a dream and I– I saw the future. My whole family hates me and they’re– they’re sick of me and my crap choices, and I made those even when I was sober, and they finally had enough. I– I ruined everything, so the least I can do is let them move on without me, right?

Jack: Nikki, it’s a dream. It’s a vodka-soaked nightmare. I know it feels real sometimes. It’s not. It is your fears and you can’t put any stock in it.

Nikki: You’re right. There is only one thing I can count on and I can’t let it down. I can’t hurt it. I can’t break its heart and it can’t break mine. Will you stop it?

Jack: It will break your heart every time, nikki. It will. That dream was not telling you the future. That dream was warning you what would happen if you don’t stop drinking. All that you could lose, a family you adore, a family that loves you, adores you. They depend on you more than you know. You are the rock of that family and your dear friends count on you as well.

Nikki: My dear friends are gone, jack. Katherine, neil.

Jack: If katherine and neil were here right now, what would they say? They’ve given you some tough love over the years.

Nikki: They’re not here.

Jack: No, I am, and so is lauren, and so is michael, and so many other people who come to you for guidance.

Nikki: Anybody who would count on me now is an idiot. You can tell them I said so.

Jack: No, I’m not going to do that. No, you want to sober up and tell them yourself, knock yourself out, because you and I both know once the vodka’s out of your system, you’re going to think straight again.

Nikki: No, not going to happen.

Jack: I’m not going to let you give up, nikki.

Nikki: Really? What are you going to do to stop me?

Jack: I think we need to talk about rehab.

Nikki: Oh, no, no. No way.

Jack: I know you thought you could handle it.

Nikki: No way. Uh-uh.

Jack: This has progressed, nikki. You need more than me and meetings. You need the constant care and help of professionals in a facility.

Nikki: It’s not going to work, jack. My god, do you know how many times I’ve been down this– well, yeah, you do. Been around for decades. First was my riding accident, then my intervention. I’ve tried everything.

Jack: And they worked.

Nikki: Until they didn’T.

Jack: Nikki, relapse is part of recovery. You know that. You have to let the program work for you again.

Nikki: It won’t work, jack, because I know all the right words to say, okay? I– I can do anything to make people believe I am working the program, but I won’t be. It’s all an act.

Jack: So you fake it ’til you make it.

Nikki: Will you shut up with your stupid sayings? I am trying to be honest here. You have to want to get sober, but I don’T.

Jack: Why not?

Nikki: I’m sorry I let you down. And don’t take it personally. I let everybody down.

Jack: The only important person here is you. Do not let yourself down, nikki. You can do this. I know it seems bleak now. I know it’s scary. I have been here myself. But it can turn around. You know it can turn around.

Nikki: Yeah, let me guess. This too shall pass?

Jack: Yes, and without it being a miracle from heaven.

Nikki: Oh, stop it. Your damn positivity. You can’t turn on a few lights and say that everything is going to be okay and make it so.

Jack: That is not what I expected.

Nikki: You know what I’m doing right now? I am trying to figure out how to get you out of here so I can open another bottle.

Jack: Too bad. I got nothing but time on my hands. I have nowhere I have to go. I’m going to sit here and listen to you until you agree to go to a meeting.

Nikki: Oh, my god. Your ego. I mean, you are so damn smug. You really think that you can fix me? Why don’t you go to an al-anon meeting? I mean, maybe they can knock it into your thick skull that you can’t change anybody, especially me.

Jack: Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Stop thinking you know the future. We are here. This is now. And you can leave those bottles unopened just for tonight. That’s all you have to think about.

Nikki: Ah, there you are.

Jack: Nikki.

Nikki: Come to mama.

[ Nikki sighs ] Damn it.

Jack: Nikki, I know this is terrifying. I know some part wants to just give up and drown yourself. It’s seductive. But it also fools you into believing this is what you want, that this is what you deserve. The booze is telling you you’re not strong enough. The booze is telling you you failed. You have to find a way to drown out that noise.

Nikki: I don’t want to find it, jack. I– I can’t fight this anymore. It’s 24-7. I mean, will I drink or will I not drink? And then– and then, when I take a drink, then all that goes away. I mean, don’t I deserve to have a little piece and quiet?

[ Bottle shatters ] Type 2 diabetes?

Nikki: Oh, you’re still here.

Jack: Hey, yeah. Room service came, cleaned up a little bit. Why don’t– come have something to drink?

Nikki: Oh, that’ll be vodka.

Jack: I don’t give up that easily. Come on, have a little bite to eat.

Nikki: No, I’m not hungry. Smells nauseating.

Jack: Ah, that’ll go away after the third bite.

Nikki: Oh, are you a doctor now? Or just playing one on tv?

Jack: Just a few forkfuls. Here. Have some coffee.

Nikki: Um, I really don’t feel well. Could you get me a cold towel in the bathroom?

Jack: So you can get another slug? No, that’s not going to happen. No, I know all the tricks. Come on, drink.

Nikki: I don’t have the strength to fight this anymore. I mean, look what I’ve done. Harrison could have been killed. Claire, too.

Jack: Nikki, nikki, that’s over. Jordan is gone.

Nikki: I can’t even celebrate that. The damage is done. How many years does poor harrison have of horrific nightmares? As for claire, who knows what jordan did to her, how that will affect her.

Jack: I don’t have any of those answers. No one does. We’ll only know with time. But I will say ’til I am blue in the face, you are not to blame for jordan’s actions.

Nikki: I should have let her die when I had the chance.

Jack: If you insist on being responsible, why not do what you do best?

Nikki: Hand me that bottle and I will.

Jack: Pulling yourself together to help your family.

Nikki: Yeah, I’m a real mother teresa.

Jack: Think, if you were able to take all of the energy you’re using to convince me you should drink to fighting for something else, for people you love, for organizations you believe in.

Nikki: Oh, god, jack. You think doing charity work will make me sober?

Jack: I think if you stopped wallowing in self-pity for long enough, you would realize that it has helped you in the past to be there for others. Think of how you have helped new hope. Think of all the fundraising you’ve done for ms.

Nikki: Well, I’ll just do another concert. Then, all my troubles will be over.

Jack: That is not you talking. You are a kind, thoughtful person. That is liquor talking.

Nikki: I’m just letting the real me out and it’s a damn relief.

Jack: So, what about the people you’ve helped? People whose lives you have literally changed. Katherine and neil would tell you, you changed theirs. You helped them at very low moments in their lives. Why not do the same thing for your great-grandson? Create happy memories for him to block out all those nightmares. Help claire so she doesn’t backslide. Hug her. Welcome her. I think you’ll be surprised at how helpful all that is.

Nikki: You’re right. I– I should help them. They deserve it. They deserve all of me. They deserve for me to pour this down the sink. And call that rehab.

Jack: Wait, do you mean that?

Nikki: Nice try, jack, but I can’t help anybody.

Jack: Don’t do this, nikki. Don’t do this. Trust yourself. Trust the program. Trust your higher power. That bottle can’t do a damn thing for you. I know you, nikki. You can beat this.

Nikki: That nikki is gone. And you’re going to have to rip this out of my hand to stop me. You can feel it when your dream becomes a pursuit.

Jack: Nikki, I’m not going to wrestle you for that bottle.

Nikki: Well, that’s too proper for you. Don’t want to get down in the mud with me.

Jack: Come on, let– let me take you to a meeting.

Nikki: Oh, that would be pretty. All those people I’ve poured my heart out to looking at me like this.

Jack: No one is turned away. You are always welcome in that room.

Nikki: I am not going anywhere.

Jack: Okay, okay, okay, fine. Let– let me distract you. Talk to me. We can talk about happy memories. Memories we share.

Nikki: You think I haven’t done that? It’s a landmine. I mean, for every happy memory, there’s one ten times worse.

Jack: Okay, okay, then let’s talk about family. You have a great family. A husband who would follow you to the ends of the earth. Children who adore you. Who would be devastated if anything happened to you.

Nikki: Will you stop it? You’re just making things worse. You can’t fix me.

Jack: Here, give me.

Nikki: Hey!

Jack: Give me.

Nikki: Stop it. You said that you wouldn’t wrestle me.

Jack: No, if it takes getting down in the mud with you, I will make it happen.

Nikki: Fine. Pour it down the sink if you want. There’s plenty more where that came from.

Jack: Nikki, please.

Nikki: None of your lectures have worked. I– I’m sorry I picked you as my sponsor.

Jack: Wait, don’t say that.

Nikki: Why? Why? Because it makes you feel bad because you failed? The great jack abbott finally met a problem he couldn’t solve. Well, don’t blame yourself. That– that’s my fault. I mean, I– I let you talk me into it against victor’s wishes. Something else I screwed up. But he was right. You couldn’t help me and now he can say I told you so.

[ Nikki sighs ]

Nikki: That feels good. Don’t look so sad, jack. It’s a buzzkill. You either join the party or get out.

Jack: Fine, I will. Wow, that is smooth. I see you sprung for the triple distilled.

Nikki: Yeah, well, my life might be in the gutter, but I still have my standards.

Jack: Well, then you won’t mind my taking one of these bottles for myself.

Nikki: And do you really think you can stop me from getting drunk by drinking half my supply?

Jack: Just watch me.

Nikki: Put the glass down, jack. You’re making a fool of yourself.

Jack: You know what? We should call room service. See if they can send up some vermouth, some olives. I’ll make us a martini. Well, that’s not the kind of drinking we’re doing now, is it?

Nikki: What is your plan? Because I am not amused.

Jack: Oh, you want to be amused? Come on, let’s see if ol’ smilin’ jack can have fun again.

Nikki: I doubt that.

Jack: Oh, you don’t think so? Okay, I got a better idea. We got it in here somewhere. Oh, there it is.

Nikki: What are you doing? You can’t have me committed, you know. You don’t have the authority.

Jack: Relax, this isn’t about you. Kieran, it’s jack abbott. Yeah, yeah, it’s been a long time. Um, could you make a delivery to the genoa city athletic club, room 428? Yeah, same stuff. Thanks, buddy. You know what? You’re right. I have been wound too tight for too long. It is time to get loose. Struggling with the highs and lows of bipolar 1?

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue…

Nikki: Who was that? Who did you call?

Jack: Patience, my dear. All– it’s fine.

Nikki: Whatever you’re up to, it won’t work.

Jack: I am merely doing what you asked. I’m joining the party.

Nikki: You know damn well it’s not a party.

Jack: Oh boy, do I know that well. But as you so kindly pointed out, I have been a failure as your sponsor. So, to hell with it.

Nikki: Don’t try your reverse psychology on me. I want you out of here right now.

Jack: Or what?

Nikki: Or I will start screaming.

Jack: No, I don’t think you’re going to do that. No, I think you’re curious how far I’m going to take this. No, you can’t drink all that liquor yourself. My god, it puts you in the hospital, and that’s not part of the plan, is it? You said no rehab, and that’s exactly where the hospital would send you. And after an ugly detox, the strongest drink they serve you is apple juice. No, I’m doing you a favor, helping you with this, so you don’t overdo it. So come on! Let’s have a little fun here. Let’s have some toast. Come on. Come on! You want to do the first toast?

Nikki: No.

Jack: Okay, I’ll do it. To jordan’s reign of terror. She fell to her death running from her own damn crimes.

Nikki: For god’s sake, stop this.

Jack: Okay, okay, okay. We’ll lighten it up. It’s family. Talk about… no, your 40th anniversary. Victor would be pissed if we left him out of this. I mean, speaking of that, what about our marriage? You want to drink to our marriage?

Nikki: Jack, no, I–

Jack: No, no, no, stop, stop. I know just the toast. Please, please. To our enduring friendship. A lifetime together. As friends. Through thick and thin, no matter what.

Nikki: I don’t wanna toast. I want you to leave so I can drink in peace.

Jack: But, wait, it’s just getting started.

Nikki: Now you’re mocking me. Trying to get me to see what I look like. Well, don’t bother. I know how pathetic I am.

Jack: Oh, please, stop feeling sorry for yourself. Did it ever occur to you this isn’t all about you? Maybe I’ve been experienced some hell these past few months. Harrison is my grandson. I almost lost him. I spent countless hours with victor newman, of all people, looking for him. And claire. And that’s just the half of it. Ashley is a mess and she won’t ask for help. Kyle and diane are doing some tug-of-war over their jobs at jabot, with me in the middle. And then… and then, there is you. My lifelong friend who I could not help. I’ve been juggling a million balls in the air. Trying to be there for everyone. I can’t do it. It’s not working. And then, I see you. I see you drink and… all the relief you get out of a drink. It kills me. I want some relief.

Nikki: Well, there’s just one thing wrong with your pitch, jack. Alcohol was never your problem.

Jack: No, you mean it was never my solution. No, alcohol will calm me, yes. Now, to take away the pain, I need something stronger.

[ Knocks on door ] Wow! Talk about timing. This is first-class delivery.

Nikki: You better not be trying to pull something.

Jack: This is about me, not you. Thanks. Now, this is what hits the spot. Schwarzkopf

Nikki: Stop this, jack. What you’re doing is very dangerous.

Jack: I know what I have to do now. It’s crystal clear. I have to put myself in your shoes. I haven’t been doing that as a sponsor. No, I’ve been lecturing you with empty platitudes and slogans. And that’s not enough. No, I have to remember what it feels like. And alcohol is not my drug of choice. Now, these. When I hold these in my hand, that gives me comfort. The ease they can give me.

Nikki: What about the harm they can do? You know that too.

Jack: Well, it doesn’t matter. Once the urge is triggered, the pull is too hard, right?

Nikki: Well, make a damn gratitude list.

Jack: I am grateful for you. I am grateful for the bond we have. I would do anything for you.

Nikki: Yeah, but not like this. You– you can’t ruin your life to help me.

Jack: I am your sponsor, nikki. I will do whatever it takes. I would follow you to rock bottom so we could climb out together.

Nikki: Is your ego so big? You– you hate failure so much that you would do something so stupid? Are– are you telling me that– that you still have your dealer’s number after all these years? Why would you do that?

Jack: For the same reason you have a bottle of vodka at the newman ranch. Just to know it’s there. A little test we give ourselves, we addicts. Just to know we have the power over our addiction. Until now.

Nikki: Well, you’re not as weak as I am. You’re strong. You’ve got too many years under your belt. Too much to lose.

Jack: I said that to diane. She didn’t know I had a pain pill problem. I confided in her when I agreed to be your sponsor. And you know what she said? She was worried that helping you might tempt me. Draw me back to the pills. I told her there’s not a chance. And then the stress builds and builds until I’m dealing with a maniac who’s with control of my grandchild. And for the first time in I don’t know how long, I thought just one pill would give me some release. Just– just to ease the tension. It would help everyone else. If they didn’t have to deal with my tension. If they didn’t have to deal with mr. Uptight.

Nikki: Nobody thinks of you that way.

Jack: You do. You said it yourself.

Nikki: That was just because I was mad at you. And I want you out of here.

Jack: I don’t want to go anywhere. I want what you have! I want to just drink and wash it all away. You do that. You’ve survived. I just want it for me. For one night.

Nikki: You know that’s not how it works, jack. That’s crap. That’s the disease talking. It’s the rationalization.

Jack: Wow, who’s handing out the platitudes and advice now?

Nikki: Well, that’s because you’re the one with the family who needs you. I mean, they count on you. You’re the glue that holds them together.

Jack: I said that about you.

Nikki: Yeah, but that was a lie. My family blames me for this whole nightmare with jordan. You saw it on summer’s face when I told her that I had saved jordan’s life. Oh, she tried to deny it, but it was obvious. She blames me. I saw it in her eyes.

Jack: No, no, no. No, no, no. I did not see that.

Nikki: Well, I don’t want to hear it. And I don’t want any company on my trip to rock bottom. Do you understand? This is my world. My nightmare and I don’t want company. You’re not welcome.

Jack: Too bad. You’re stuck with me. Come on! Let’s do this together.

Nikki: You are being incredibly cruel.

Jack: Oh, that is rich. I give up and join you, and I’m the cruel one. You level vitriol and accusations at me all night long. What do you expect me to do? Just turn my back on you?

Nikki: I expect you to get the hell out of here.

Jack: We’re in this together now.

Nikki: You’re trying to make me feel more worried about you than I am about myself.

Jack: No, no. But you don’t have to worry about me. I can handle it, just like you say you can.

Nikki: Okay, that’s it. That’s it. You’re out of here, buddy. Now. Or I am going to start screaming and I’m going to call the police, too. Jack! No! I can’t let you do that.

Jack: How’s it feel? To not be able to stop someone you love from hurting themselves?

Nikki: Jack! ( )

Nikki: You didn’t really take that pill. It was all an act. You were trying to show me what it’s like to not be able to stop you, right?

Jack: There is something liberating about just giving up.

Nikki: Jack, you– you have no reason to give up. I mean, you– you have everything. Your– your life is perfect.

Jack: On the outside, yeah. You don’t know my inner life.

Nikki: It’s because I’ve been too selfish to ask.

Jack: I let you down as a friend, as a sponsor. I know you blame yourself for what happened to claire. I blame myself for your slip.

Nikki: No, please, don’T. Don’t do that. Jack, please, listen. Listen to me. I– I am going to get sober, okay? I’m going to have some coffee and a little something to eat, okay? Come, come join me.

Jack: No, no, this feels too good.

Nikki: Jack, jack, no, please, stop. I’m begging you, please, give me the pills. Give me the pills. You– you can’t mix them with alcohol.

Jack: You’re giving me advice now? I like that.

[ Phone ringing ] What? What? I got it!

Nikki: Oh!

Jack: It’s victor. It’s a missed messages. Missed, mixed– can’t say it.

Nikki: All right. Give me my phone–

Jack: No, what, you don’t want me answering it? Hello, mr. Mustache. It’s me, mr. Uptight. You would not believe where I am. You should come join us for the fun.

Nikki: That is so not funny.

Jack: Can you imagine how he would react if he saw us here? It would be fun to see the look on his face– yeah, okay, yeah. Maybe we should leave him in the dark. He’d just disapprove. Give me that look. Why does he do that with his eyebrow? Hey, hey. Hey, what? Hey, let’s just stay here. Our own private paradise. You and me, okay? Look out for each other.

Nikki: Jack, jack, jack, I– I– I was wrong. You’re right, I– I– I’m sorry. I do need a meeting. I– I need you to take me. You need one, too.

Jack: Dance with me.

Nikki: No, no, no.

Jack: No, come on, dance with me.

Nikki: I don’t feel like dancing, jack.

Jack: Dance with me.

Nikki: Please, jack. Oh, my god. Jack, jack, wake up. Oh, my god, wake up. Jack, wake up, please. Jack!

[ Telephone rings ] Seventh floor.

[ Elevator bell dings ] I’m sorry, dr. Soriano. If she’s not there, I don’t know. Try…orthopedics?

[ Sighing ] Oh, god. Problem? Guess not. Uh, michael said wiley was throwing up last night, so I thought maybe I should pick up something for him on the way home, but no answer. So I guess melanie — the nanny — must be out with both kids and he’s fine.

[ Laughs ] Um, don’t shoot the messenger, but I have been deputized to do a multi-floor search for a nurse who is willing to take an additional shift, since regina’s out sick. I’m sorry. I-I’ve just — I’ve been here all night. I just can’T. I have a 1-year-old who, after a 12-hour shift, I don’t think even remembers me. I hear you. I couldn’t have worked the hours that you do when my girls were little, which begs the question… what? You’re not asking me why I have a job? Oh, no! Sorry. No, having work that fulfills you, work that makes a difference — these things matter.

[ Telephone rings ] Sorry. Seven floor. Elizabeth, I am so sorry. I just — of course I would. I would be happy to pick aiden up. No trouble at all. Elizabeth is still looking for a replacement, but in the meantime, I’m gonna pick up aiden for her, so I guess I feel a little less guilty.

[ Chuckles ] Well, I better continue my search. With a little bit of luck, elizabeth will be out of here while the sun is still shining. There. See? All right, good job, wiley. Hey. What’s up? With melanie helping out with her mom, I thought it’d be fun to hang out with the kids, but apparently I’m not as fascinating as comet. Few people are, michael. Few people are. Hey. Is lunch ready? The new cook said 45 minutes. I’m not optimistic. Okay. Well, uh, you should be optimistic because you know, the new, uh, cook is that old friend of mine, and I bet she does a great job. I’m with you, michael. I think the new cook is a real find. Melanie? I’m home. Hmm. It doesn’t sound like anyone’s here. No, it doesn’T. Maybe she took the kids up to the main house for lunch. Do you want to join them, or I can make a sandwich for you to eat here if you want. I’ll go up to the house. I know you worked the overnight shift. You must be tired. Aw. Your mom did, too. I hope it doesn’t take too long to find that replacement nurse. You must be desperate to go home and get into bed. Thanks for picking me up at the library. Of course. I’ll text jake to pick me up from his soccer practice. How do sports get away with holding practice when there’s no school? It’s his travel league, so they’re basically allowed to do whatever they want. Let me know if you need anything? I will. I always found it easier to hold the products like this, but maybe that’s just me. No, it fe– it feels better. Okay, maybe you turn the label around so it’s facing directly towards the camera. Hey, you know what, sasha? Why don’t you show brook lynn how to cheat to an imaginary camera, like, over there somewhere? I have the non-imaginary camera right here.

[ Chuckles ] What are you doing here? Because I was so rudely not invited? Well, you know, I just thought that maybe a screen test for our new proposed spokesmodel was in order. Why? Why? Because you seem to think that anybody and everybody can sort of do the duties that I did so well. That remains to be seen.

[ Doorbell rings ] You must be isaac. Come on in.

[ Sighs ] Here’s my pride and joy.

You want to describe the texture — what it smells like, how it feels on your skin. With glowing adjectives, of course. Of course. Silky, dewy, fresh. Then you apply just the dab on your cheek, and you rub it in… …just like this. Lucy: Ah. Flawless. Okay, let’s shoot. Brook lynn, you’re up. Okay, ready? Uh, quiet on the set. Action! Lois: Okay. Honey, hold it a little closer to your face. That way the viewers can see the label. Brook lynn: Like this? Exactly. I was gonna say that. Yes. Yes. Like this? Um, not that close. Maybe…here should be good. I think I’m gonna go sit out in the sun for a while, get some vitamin D. Can I come? All: No! Good luck, kiddo.

[ Laughter ] Brother! Okay. Take two action! Sasha is a great cook. I just never thought that she’d be doing it for a living. Yeah, I think the, uh, offer of free room and board was too tempting. Also, the flexibility, I don’t think mama q’s gonna fully surrender her kitchen. No. No, no. I mean, it’s probably mostly just breakfast and lunches while olivia’s at work. Plus, sasha has weekends off, which is great. And maybe I can make a music video someday. I would love that. And ride comet while I’m singing! Whoa, whoa, whoa. You’re gonna have to talk to his agent first. And who’s his agent? You’re looking at him. Is it okay for the boys to play in the hay, even though the horses eat it? Uh, it better be ’cause they do it all the time. Can I go play with them? Look at him. Uh, yeah. Have at it. I love the smell of hay! Georgie, keep an eye on the littles, will you? And holler if you need any help. You got it. So, uh, what’s this about a music video? Violet was watching brook lynn practice her spokesmodeling up at the house, and they were videotaping her, and now violet’s got a little bee in her bonnet. Wait, I thought blaze was the new face of deception. She is, but it’s in her contract that she won’t do any of the promotional stuff. Oh, so that’s on brook lynn now? And I don’t think she’s too happy about it. Tracy, you are not the only decision maker in this household. And I am not the only person in this household who was sick to death of leftovers and yuri’s borscht. Hello. That’s why I hired someone. I want a real cook. No, you want someone who’s not gonna let anyone into the kitchen, and I’m not gonna allow that again. That’s the point. They have their domain, and we have ours. Ah, tracy. I love cooking for my family, when I have the time to do it. That’s what makes sasha the perfect solution to this problem. Hello, aiden. Hi. Ms. Quartermaine. Hello, another family’s child. Be nice. Something smells good. Yes. It does smell good, doesn’t it, tracy? Where’d you come from? My mom got stuck at work, so mrs. Corinthos picked me up and dropped me off. Well, lunch is gonna be served shortly, so I certainly hope you’ll stick around and eat with us. I’d like that. Thanks. Of course you would. Just want to peek in the oven. Sasha. When you finish lunch, I have a request. Okay. Would you go get a cookbook, please? Bring it here to me. Open it to any page and point. Mamma mia! You gotta be kidding me. Aha!

Tournedos rossini. Sounds delightful. That’s what I want for dinner.

Tournedos rossini? One of my favorites. Do we have pté? And if we do, will the kids eat it? I don’t know. Tracy, what do you think? The kids want pté? I think you should pick another recipe.

Pot-au-feu. Perfect second choice.

Pot-au-feu it is. Dinner at 7:00? Oh. Works for me. Sasha, I am so sorry. I take it tracy is not happy with me as the new cook? What was your first clue? Well, I’ll just have to prove her wrong, won’t I? Oh, bless you. Honey, I’m gonna give you all the space you need. If you need anything at all, you just call me for backup. Okay. Bye. Thank you. Can I ask you a question? Ask away. I love to bake, but I’ve never seen anything like what you have in the oven. Oh, well, it’s a great way to use any leftovers you have in the fridge. You want to help me chop up some vegetables, and I’ll tell you all about it? Sure. Come on.

[ Door opens ] Hey. Sorry. Didn’t mean to wake you. No, it’s okay. Where’s melanie? Oh, uh, her mom had a little emergency. Is she okay? Uh, yeah, yeah. It was just a dental thing. So I came home to be with the kids, and wiley is at the stables with cody. Oh, the horses were more entertaining than dad, huh? Yeah, pretty much.

[ Chuckles ] I, uh — I sent aiden up to the main house for lunch. Aiden webber? Yeah. Elizabeth got stuck at the hospital, asked if I could bring him here and make sure he got fed. Well, that’s nice of you to help out. All right. It’s time for you to go to bed. Um, you stay here. Get some rest. And I’ll be right back. Okay. Here we go. You ready? I hear deception is debuting a new product. That’s right, haven. What’s it called? Disruptor nourishing moisturizer. Catchy name. I know, right? Can you tell us about it? Oh, yes! Our newest product is a face cream. It does wonders for the skin. We like the sound of that. Please go on. Okay, yes, well, um, the texture is silky smooth, and you just take a little bit on — oh, shoot. Cut! I’m sorry! No, no, no, honey, it’s okay! You’re still getting the hang of it.

[ Clapping ] I want 100 jars and the beautiful face-cream model. Uh, sorry, you are not our target audience. All right, come on. Let’s look at the dailies. Okay. Come on, sweetie. Come on, come on. Let’s see. Let’s see. Play it on this thing. Here we go. Play. Brook lynn: …Silky smooth, and you just take a little bit on — oh, shoot. Okay. Well, that’s what rehearsals are for. Sasha wasn’t perfect the first time, either. Uh, she was a lot better than that. Okay! You know what, brook lynn, you just need to relax. Come on, come on, come on. Just a little bit. And you know what? We’re gonna just try it again. -Okay. -Okay? Excuse me. Why don’t we give the professionals a chance? And I’m guessing you’re the professional? Watch and learn.

[ Sighs ] How was your shift? Oh, long, exhausting, but good. All right. Do you want to head up to bed? Don’t tempt me. No, go ahead. You deserve a nap. You know, I, uh… I sleep better when you’re beside me.

I’m too young to die.What do you desperados want? All your money. Ah! [ Laughs ] You picked the wrong cowboy. We’ll take your horses then. But they already belong to your family. Actually, i am the sheriff, and you’re all under arrest. Ah! Including you. And now you have to marry georgie. That’s a weird punishment. -[ Laughs ] -Aah!

[ Grunting ] Ah. Thank you. What did I do? You arrived just in the nick of time. Saved me from getting hitched. Well, you’re welcome. How’s it going up at the manse? Pretty sure that my first day as to cook will also be my last. Tracy? She’s not a fan.

[ Laughs ] And it’s a real bummer because I really liked my new room. Um, do you want me to talk to her? I mean, believe it or not, I think tracy actually likes me. It’s okay. You know what? There was something too good about it to be true from the start. Especially the part where I got to be near you every day. Olivia’s mad at me. What happened? We need a cook. Quartermaines have always had a cook. Not since I’ve known you. No, because since you’ve known me, olivia has lived here, and she insisted that she could take it on. But you cannot run a hotel, raise a child with special needs, and cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a house full of people. It’s too much. Agreed. So, instead of hiring a professional cook, olivia offered the job to her friend. Do I know this friend? You certainly do. Sasha corbin. And I get it. Olivia wants somebody that she can kick out of the kitchen without feeling uncomfortable. When she wants to cook, you mean? Mm-hmm. And I certainly do understand that, but we don’t know if sasha has the skills for this, and hiring someone to do a job that they can’t do helps no one. Not us and not sasha. Am I being awful? You’re being practical. Some homes, the kitchen is a place to gather. Not this one. Exactly. We have the nook for that. How come you get that and olivia doesn’t? Probably because I have no skin in the game. But this is olivia’s home, too. She just wants to be comfortable in it. Am I being too rigid? You’re being you. So, that’s rigid, angry, and unyielding.

[ Chuckles ] Where does that come from, you think? Lucy: Haven. [ Chuckles ] Haven, have I told you that I am the brainchild of deception? Haven? Oh, yes. About 17 billion times.

[ Laughs ] Right, right, because it’s so true. And you all — all are very, very welcome. Now, today we have the disruptor nourishing moisturizer, brand-new product and, by the way, my idea. Well, I mean, it wasn’t my idea, the formula, but the way it benefits your skin — totally my idea. Let me — let me show you.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Wait. There. Mm. It is so absorbing. It absorbs right straight into your skin. It’s not absorbing at all. Working that cream like it’s furniture polish.

[ Lucy speaks indistinctly ] Yikes. She’s not very good at this, is she? I don’t think I’m one to talk. What? You were perfect. Like a deer in headlights. Look, I love maxie and deception, but I can’t help but feel like this is a wrong turn for me. You did seem

kind of uncomfortable. Kind of? And nobody watching is gonna believe that you need a face cream. I love you. Aha! See? There.

[ Clears throat ] All absorbed. Our disruptor nourishing moisturizer cream is so good. It feels so wonderful on my skin, ladies and gentlemen. My baby, my creation. Get yours today! Oh, well, that was, um… fantastic. I know. Thank you. Um, you know what? Why don’t we just review it all, take a peek, and then we can all just kind of vote? Okay. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I think I’m mad at time. And all the years that I wasted being too afraid to… leave my safety net. The only risk I ever took in my life was on luke, and I only had him for a few years before I lost him. Happiness is great as long as you’ve got it. Are you unhappy now? No. I’m disappointed. The advantages that I’ve been given in life are obscene. As are… …how little I’ve done with them.

Okay, this is gonna sound crazy. When has that ever stopped you? Why don’t you move in with me? I’ve got a nice, comfortable room upstairs if you can stand the spiral staircase to get to it. I’m not wrong in that we have kissed exactly once, yes? No, that — that’s right. Yes. So, I feel like cohabitation isn’t really the natural next step. Well, we wouldn’t be sharing a bed or anything. Unless you wanted to, in which case, we totally could be.

[ Laughs ] And where would you sleep? Uh, well, you know, we’ve got an extra cot in the tack room for when a mare is foaling. I could just bring it upstairs.

[ Alarm beeping ] That’s lunch. I need to take it out of the oven. There’s plenty if you’re interested. I am definitely interested. Georgie! Round up the kids for lunch! Let’s go! Georgie! Lucy:

Get yours today. -Huh. -Huh. Well, you know, nobody looks, uh, good in that kind of light. You know what? I think brook lynn just needs one more run-through. That’s all. Come on, sweetie. Come here. Come here. Come stand. All right. Look, I’m gonna show you, okay? So, you want to pick up and hold the product like this. Okay? Right? Not like this like it’s a secret weapon, but like it’s — it’s the greatest secret in life, and you are gonna share that secret with the world. Or with the viewers of home & heart, at least, okay? And then you’re gonna open it very gently. Maybe smell. Mmm! Right? And then you’re gonna take just a tiny little bit. Right? What are you doing? Why? Why? Why not? Okay. And then, you’re going to see that it’s like a little pearl.

[ Gasps ] Right? Which is fitting because this cream is the ultimate in luxury. You’re gonna put it on. Mm! Silky, hydrating. Oh, it’s like I’ve died and gone to heaven, right? Right? Mm. Oh, good. I was just coming to find you. How’s it looking? Light brown on top and ready to come out, I think. Perfect. I’m happy to help you serve it if you want. Yeah? You’re a lifesaver, aiden webber. Hey. Are you headed back to the office? Uh, nah, that ship as sailed, I think. What about you? When’s your next shift? I’ve been thinking about that, about my job at gh in general. Yeah, I saw you were, uh, looking at that new tomorrow institute pamphlet. Oh, you did, did you? Yeah, I’m observant like that. So…talk to me. Representing the nonprofit, it would essentially be a part-time volunteer position. Okay. Meaning I’d no longer be getting paid. Well, you know, it’s not like we need the money. I know, but a lot of people do. Like elizabeth, for example. She’s raising three boys on her own, and she doesn’t have the luxury of turning down a double shift like I do. Yeah, I hope jason being back can ease her financial burden a little bit. I hope so, too. But it’s got me thinking. Nursing is wonderful, important work, and I’ve — I’ve loved doing it. I know you have. But I am starting to wonder if I’ve been doing it for the wrong reasons.

independence is important to me. I get that. And I’m not sure I even realized it at the time, but it was a huge factor in my becoming a nurse. The idea of solely relying on you for money — it made me uncomfortable. I liked knowing that if you left tomorrow… never happening. …I could stand on my own two feet. And I still relate to all that. I just… taking this position would allow me to still do something meaningful that makes me proud, while being able to be there for my kids in a way I can’t now. I’d get to see all of wiley’s t-ball games and take amelia to the swings myself, not hear about it later from melanie. Well, just to be clear, you know, melanie — she’s a great nanny, and, uh, the kids are happy and thriving. I know. I know they are, but I’m missing stuff, michael. And I don’t have to. And that makes me so incredibly lucky. I mean, what drew is proposing — an opportunity for me to help recruit bone-marrow donors and stem-cell donors who, in turn, could help cure cancers like I had, and also spend significantly more time with my kids? I mean, what a gift, for them and for me. Well, it sounds like you made up your mind. You don’t seem surprised.

[ Chuckles ] I had a feeling this is how it would shake out. I just, I wanted you to get there yourself. And here I am. Here you are. Here we are. So you’re on board if I do this? I’m on board with anything that makes you happy. Anything? Anything. Why? Do you, uh… did you have something specific in mind? As a matter of fact, I do. If I’m hearing you right, you feel you’ve been… showered with temporal gifts in life — money, property, a close-knit if not always harmonious family. Ha! Harmonious. But in your opinion, you don’t have much to show for it. Well done. Achievement is overrated. I don’t think we were put on this earth to win trophies or become famous or make scientific discoveries. Don’t get me wrong, power to you if you do, but the way I see it, I… I think our job is to love the lives we’ve been given and the people we’ve been set down amongst and be grateful for all of it. I don’t think I’ve been very successful by that measure, either. There’s still time. And not all of us can say that. -Come on, guys, let’s go! -Hi, grandpa! Hey. Excuse us. Wiley: It’s time for lunch! Yes! Be brave, james. You can do it. I, for one, think it looks delicious. Thank you. You’re very welcome. Wait, ma, can you just go through it one more time? Mm-hmm. How did you hold the product so that it was showing towards the camera? Oh, okay. You hold it just like this. And how did you get just the right amount of cream? Oh, okay. Well, I’ll show you. You’ve gotta open it up gently and take just a little bit. You know, a little bit goes a long way. This cream — it’s a miracle, you know? I mean, it is a complete game changer. That’s the plan. And then? I’m sorry. Oh, sweetie. It’s okay. You’re just learning. The application part — can you show me that part again? Okay, yeah, you — oh, wait, smell this first. Huh? Oh, that smells like the summer. I mean, it takes me right back to the beach. And the texture of it — come on. I happen to be a woman of a certain age, and this — this makes me feel like I am brand-new. Lucy: Stop! Just stop right there. Stop, stop, and stop.

It is time to face facts. Brook lynn simply cannot be the deception spokesmodel. Whoa, whoa, whoa! I think you’re being a little hasty here, because brook lynn just needs a little bit more time. Time’s not really the problem. Lucy’s right, ma. Besides… we already have the perfect deception spokesmodel. Oh, if you say yourself again, lucy, I swear I’m gonna scream. Lois! It’s you. Huh? You. You’re it. Have you lost your ever-loving mind? No, because you just presented our product effortlessly. And, in fact, it was almost poetic. It’s true. I have the footage to prove it. And you love our products, lois. It has to be you.

[ Scoffs ]

Really? Really. And just imagine everyone in the old neighborhood seeing you on tv. Oh! The girls will get such a kick out of it, won’t they? Okay, come on. Come on. Are you in? Why, thank you. What service. Of course.

[ Chuckles ] This actually smells very good. Have you seen my dad? I have not. He must have gone back to our house. W to help me bring him some lunch? I bet I can beat you there. Oh, please. I’m much faster than both of you. Right, grandpa? She is pretty fast.

[ Chuckles ] Plate. Fork. On your mark, get set… go! This is really delicious. Gteau salé. You’ve had it before? I have. Luke and I were living abroad, and we used to take little weekend trips to… get a change of scene. Isn’t europe amazing that way? A train ride, you’re in another country. Our favorite place to stay was this bed and breakfast in bergerac in the dordogne. And every morning, the patronne would bring a gteau salé out for us when we woke up. Never the same ingredients twice, just whatever they had on hand. And it was always… perfect and light. Just like this. I would’ve liked to have met luke.

[ Laughs ] You would have hated him. I don’t think so. Maybe not. What else goes in a pot-au-feu? Come on, sasha, think. Why don’t you just look it up on your phone? Because that would be

cheating. Well, this is ridiculously good. Yeah? Yeah. Tracy would be crazy to pass on you.

[ Sighs ] From your lips. So, uh, speaking of lips…

[ Laughs ] Wow! What a segue. Yeah, I-I’m good at ’em. Um, no, uh… about before? I don’t — I don’t want you to think that I was trying to get you alone in my bedroom. Not that I’d be opposed, but… noted. The whole point is I’m team sasha. You won’t be without a place to crash as long as I’m around. Well, my dear, lunch was superb. I am delighted to welcome you to the household. Thank you. And don’t worry. I’m still working on dinner. You can stop. Actually, you can make whatever you want for dinner. No more tests. Do we understand each other? We do. And you — aren’t you supposed to be minding the rugrats? They’re not outside on the patio? No, they went off to look for michael. Ah! All right, on it.

[ Glass shatters ] It wasn’t my fault. Wiley pushed me. I did not! Hey, it doesn’t matter how it happened. Wiley, do you know where a broom is so we can clean this up? Here it is. What kind of party is this? And why wasn’t I invited? I brought my dad some lunch, but I can’t find him. Maybe they’re upstairs in bed. Let’s go look. Uh, I-I-I don’t think so. No. No. You all made a fine mess in the stables. You’re gonna help me clean up that bale of hay. -Fun! -Yeah! -Yay! All right, all of you, all of you, let’s go. Thank you. Yes, of course. It wasn’t supposed to be fun.

[ Door closes ] Are they gone? Gone. Remind me to give cody a raise.

[ Chuckles ] I will. I love you, willow. And I love our life. I love it, too. And you. So much it hurts sometimes.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Shhh. She’s finally sleeping. Well, I’m glad somebody’s getting some sleep around here. Here. What are you doing? Well, I know you don’t trust me. Message received. Loud and clear. So, here. Here’s everything. This is my accounts, bank statements, passwords. Take it. Here. And I promise you, I will never give Leah Stark another dime.

All my life. I know this doesn’t solve the issue. What me, Eric? I want the truth. Ahem.

Hey, what are these for me? Well, reception did ask me to deliver it to you. Oh, well, well. Looks like someone’s trying to butter me up. Don’t keep me in suspense. Read the card. Okay. And It’s from the estimable mayor of Salem. It’s just a small token of my appreciation. Thanks, guys. Uh, here, why don’t you take what you want and then throw the rest in the kitchen for whoever else wants it.

Chadwick! You truly are a man of the people. Your thoughtfulness and generosity know no bounds. Okay, is there something that you That I need, yes. I wanted to talk to you about the recorder position. Okay, uh, you said you weren’t interested in it. Well, I thought about it and I changed my mind. I’m ready to write about anything.

Great. I appreciate your, uh, enthusiasm. But, uh, I’m sorry. Sorry why? I offered the position to Nicole. She accepted it.

The Benedict was mind blowing. Chef’s hollandaise sauce is hands down. My favorite thing ever. I needed to make sure you had a proper meal before your big first day. Oh, that’s very sweet of you. So, what made you change your tune? With regards to Me joining the workforce, because when I first mentioned it, you were somewhat less than keen on it.

I’ll admit, I was thrown by the initial idea, but the more we talked about it, the more I could see that spark in your eye. And what makes you happy, makes me happy.

Hey, baby girl. You were saying your throat was dry, so I brought you some nice cold water. Thank you, Mama. How’s the nausea? It’s pretty persistent. Oh, sweetheart. And where’s Kayla? She was supposed to Uh, right here. Right here. Okay, what’s going on, Chanel? Uh, well, I, I just feel, like, not myself. Uh, fatigue.

Dizziness, nausea. You said that if we notice anything to come see you right away, so It’s radiation poisoning, isn’t it?

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

So you hired Nicole. I guess that makes sense. Yeah, look, I think Nicole is going to bring a fresh perspective to the paper. One in which we desperately need right now. We do. 100%. But hey, look, if something else comes up, you know, maybe at the Metro desk, you’ll be the first person I ask. Great. Thank you. And in the meantime, Chadwick, would you consider giving me a raise?

Nothing crazy. 2%, 5%, 20 percent if you’re feeling generous. Just something, you know, commensurate with the amazing work I do around here. Okay, how about we talk about it during your, uh, Q4 review? Fine. That’s great. You know, since the love of my life is being released from prison, just any extra money would help me provide a better life for him.

Which he deserves after all these months of being incarcerated. He gave up a lot for me, including his inheritance. Well? Maybe Dimitri should get a job. How about that? I mean, I’m sure he’ll try. There’s not much need for an ex con with no skills, who’s all beauty, no brains. Uh, not that he’s stupid, not by any means, but he is certainly a bit of a lewdite.

You know, he types with one finger. Quite, uh, But still, you know, one finger you make so many mistakes. Anyway, you know what? I think I will bring some of these snacks to Dimitri, so at least he has some sweets waiting for him upon his return. Take as much as you want. Oh, thanks. Oh, and if you need me for the rest of the day, I am going to be working from home.

I’m going to be trying to auction off my gorgeous needlepoint pillows on eBay. Bye bye.

symptoms are actually very common and could be linked to any number of illnesses. It could be just a bad stomach bug. If we can rule out radiation poisoning, then let’s, let’s do it now. We will right away. Okay. We’ll do a blood work panel and then we’ll have a better idea what we’re dealing with. How are you doing?

You need anything? I’m okay for now. Okay. Sorry, you too, but I’m going to ask you to step outside so I can examine Chanel. Okay. I’ll see you soon, my love. Well, tell Gillis that I appreciate the brief, but he absolutely has to take the fuller case. To when? No, no, no. Move that and reschedule. Yes, I’ll be in later today, as soon as I can.

Sorry, I’m getting another call. I’ll text you.

Rita, what did sales say? I’m afraid I can’t make that time, but I want the meeting to happen today. Just tell sales to do the stand up without me. You’ll take notes and upload to my, uh, to my vault. Good. I’ll be in shortly.

Sorry about that. Honey, don’t be sorry. It comes with the territory. I married a very important man. Oh, and I married a very important, not to mention beautiful and charming woman.

And I love being able to share every single part of me with her. I love you, Nicole. You know, I just might be falling for you, too. That works out well, doesn’t it?

Because by each other’s side, there is nothing that we can’t do. I told you the truth, Eric, last night. And what you said absolutely made zero sense. Why would you be giving me your money when you know that a family is struggling financially? I didn’t think it was that bad, okay? Look, I’ve been working, making a decent living, like I always have.

I didn’t see an issue with helping out a friend. You know, what? Yes, I wanted to be generous and, and, and, and kind to a fellow human. So you were trying to make yourself feel like a better person. What? That’s That’s a bad thing? You don’t approve of that? Of my wanting to be, you know, Selfless? Charitable?

Are you kidding me right now? This is not what this is about! Nicole once told me that she felt she was never good enough for you. Seems like I’m not either. Maybe no one is. Sloane, where are you going? I need space. Sloane! I need time, Eric. Alone.

Some tea? Thank you.

Look, Paulina. I know you’re upset right now, okay, but just try not to be too hard on yourself. How can I not be hard on myself? I put my baby girl in danger. Of course. You know, let’s just wait and see what Kayla has to say. Oh.

Hello? Hi, Mayor Price. It’s Chad DiMera. Um, I was hoping I could, uh, follow up with you for a quote on a story that I’m working on. Is, uh, is now a good time? Couldn’t be worse. Call my assistant.

Who’s that? It was your Uncle Chad. What? I know that I asked you to Put in a good word with him about that story he’s writing about, but I can’t ask you that anymore. Not now. If, if Chanel has radiation poisoning because of me, then I deserve whatever, whatever scathing criticism I get for it. Alright. Here we go.

Here it is. Oh, one second. Hold on. Eric Brady. Hey, Eric. It’s Chad the Mayor. I’m glad I caught ya. Chad, hey. What’s going on? Uh, look, I was hoping that, um, that you could come by the office and, uh, we could talk about you doing some work for the paper. Is, uh What’s your schedule look like? Uh, yeah, yeah, I can be there in 20 minutes.

Awesome. I’m looking forward to it. Yeah, me too. Thanks. Bye.

Well, good news. Not timing, but good news. Okay, um, what are we gonna do? Now that mommy is gone, you might Boom! Okay, problem solved. You are going to be coming with daddy on his first big interview. Yeah. That’s what’s gonna happen. Okay.

Where’s my coffee? There’s plenty in the break room, and if you ask politely, I might just pour you a cup. Please and thank you go a long way, D. A. DiMera. Understood. So please, could you go get me some coffee, and I will be ever so thankful. But before you go, what’s the latest? In short, I’m running both your DiMera and D.

A. calendars on the new software in an effort to maintain some semblance of order. And? So far, so good. In terms of the university proposal, have you been able to review it? I have. I dropped my notes for you in your folder. I’ll move it along. Stan where? Depot’s next week. What about the weekly here in the office?

Wouldn’t miss it for the world! You sure about that? What exactly are you insinuating? Mr. DiMera, I’ve worked for every CEO here, from your father down the line, and with all due respect, you’re all the same. Brilliant, charming, handsome, world class leaders? Also arrogant, rude, and egotistical. Also wonderful qualities in my book.

But, ooh, before I forget, uh, I need you to swing by my other office after lunch. Waiting for a please in that sentence. Please? And, since I’m not a paralegal, why? Well, for one, I trust you. Two, you’re extremely efficient with time. And three, I pay you much more generously than a paralegal. I’m sure your actual paralegal is thrilled about that.

Well, she can take that up with Mayor Price. Speaking of, how does Mayor Price feel about her DA taking on a second job? I haven’t told her yet, as a matter of tact, really. She’s just got a lot going on lately. Tact, right. And, I think that if everything is running smoothly, It’s not really any of her concern.

So to that end, Rita, could you please swing by my other office after lunch and pick up the two case folders that are ready on my desk? Yes, sir. Oh, and by the way, as generously as you think you pay me, not generous enough. Is that your way of asking for a raise Rita? I’ll get your coffee now. Mmm.

That’s delicious. The rest, though, I will save for the love of my life, who will be out in three days, four hours, twenty five minutes and five seconds.

Good, you’re here. Sloane, this isn’t a good time unless you’re here to help me plan a welcome home party for Dimitri. No, I’m not here to help you with that. I’m here to make sure that you and the love of your life keep quiet about Jude. Uh, I hate to break it to you, but Demetri and I owe you nothing since you cut me off.

Look, Leo, Eric is crazy about his son. You came to the baptism, that little boy means everything to him. His heart would be in a million pieces if you took that kid away from him. Ha! And little Jude, he needs his mommy and his daddy. If you, if you don’t do it for Eric, please just do it for that, that little boy that you claim to care so much about.

Our son, he needs a family.

Reporting for duty, Captain. Hey, welcome to the team. Oh, I have to say, I am like a kid on the first day of school. I’m nervous and I’m excited. Listen, you’re going to do, you’re going to do amazing, Nicole. You have a ton of experience. Um, you’re obviously very smart. Thank you for the kind words. Uh, so what are you working on now?

Uh, yeah, the, uh, piece about Mayor Price’s recent radioactive misadventures. Oh, how’s that coming along? Yeah, solid. Thank you again for the tip. You know, sent me down a fairly informative rabbit hole. I think there’s a real story there. Disruptive? Potentially, yeah. As far as the, uh Mayor’s future political aspirations are concerned.

But, uh, you know, good or bad, gotta tell the public. Absolutely. She’s an elected official, after all. Um, it did make me wonder, though. How did you come across that information? So what do you think? An expose on Mayor Price and her most recent and possibly most egregious misappropriation of power. What a coup, right?

I don’t, I don’t know, EJ. I don’t even officially have the job yet. And to take off from the starting line with a potentially career threatening accusation against our beloved mayor? Beloved by whom? Not the everyday citizens I’ve been talking to. Okay, well, Chanel, I mean, she is Paulina’s daughter and married to your son.

Yes, I’m aware of that. Which, selfishly, is all the more reason people need to be aware that she is a ticking time bomb. Lest we forget, she put our lives and the lives of others at serious risk by carelessly running off to Smith Island when she was more radioactive than a bloody house cat in Chernobyl.

Okay, don’t you think that’s possibly a bit dramatic? Absolutely not. And I think it is someone’s duty to tell the truth, even when the truth isn’t pretty. Especially when the truth isn’t pretty.

Excuse me, I have to take this. I trust the spectator will do the right thing.

You haven’t even tasted it yet. Oh, no, no, not the coffee. Uh, thank you, by the way. What’s wrong then? I was sure that the Spectator’s Exposé on Matt Price would impose by now. Why would you even expect that? From what I’ve heard, she’s been dealing with health issues. Oh, still working tirelessly for the people.

Well, I’ve heard from my sources there’s been a few Ah, those dreaded rumblings. I guess you could say I’m curious to see what shakes. An expose suggests some kind of dirty little secret, no? But what kind of skin have you got in the game, Mr. DiMera? If I were to be honest, the dynamic between Mayor Price and me has been less than ideal.

If she were to land in the mud, yes, that would be unfortunate. But I would continue to carry out my duties with the same fervor and commitment that my constituents expect from me. So, you don’t like her? She micromanages. She’s, she’s, she’s insufferable. Micromanaging bosses always are. Uh. Here’s a suggestion.

Kill him with kindness. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, one tends to catch more flies with honey. Say it. Say it. It’s

all my fault. Paulina. Maybe if you yelled at me, released some of that pent up frustration and anger, we’d both feel better. I have no desire to yell at you. Alright, that’s the last thing I want to do. Hey. Hey. I care about you, Paulina. I love you. Okay, and, and what you did coming to rescue Chanel, you were just doing what you thought was right at the time.

Uh, oh. Hey. How is she? Well, her vitals are really good. So we’re just going to wait for the blood work results, okay? Okay, so uh, can I go back to her room? Of course. Okay.

Why is this happening, Kayla? I’m the one who took the radioactive pill. Why am I okay and Chanel is sick? I don’t have any answers. I wish I did. You’re just gonna have to be patient, alright? Oh, how can I be patient? Patient. When my daughter is sick, because of me. When instead of trying to save her like I thought I was doing, I put her life in jeopardy.

Oh, how can I, can I be patient? How can I live with myself?

Wow, really tugging at the heartstrings, Sloane, going all out. Why wouldn’t I go all out? I mean, you and I both know EJ and Nicole, they’re gonna make the worst parents on the planet for little Jude. Well, I’d certainly be up there. Just look at Holly. I mean, and EJ’s kids. God, they’re all screwed up. Little Jude’s best life is with me and Eric.

Okay, look, I’m not gonna lie. That baptism, it gave me all the feels. But Sloane, the other reality here is that Eric is on to you. He is suspicious as hell. How long until this all blows up in your face? 48 hours? 36? Cause I’m going with more like 10 minutes actually. No, no, no. Leo, you listen to me and you listen hard.

You gain nothing by telling anyone anything. Okay? You’re just opening a whole new can of trouble and misery. The best thing that you can do for Dimitri to welcome him home is when he gets here, just bounce. Leave town. Start a new life. With Salem in the rear view.

Hey

beautiful. Johnny. Oh. Better now that you’re here. I’m going crazy just having to wait like this. You know about all the damage that radiation poisoning does to the body? Yeah, I’m sure it’s not great. And not to mention the treatments. Johnny, I’m scared. I’m trying not to show it in front of Mama, but I’m really freaked out.

Hey, look at me. Okay? Take my hand. Chanel, I love you. Okay, and we are going to have the best life together. I promise.

I think you might be onto something here, Rita. Extending the proverbial olive branch to Mayor Price can only help our relationship move in a more productive direction. Now you’re cooking. So, Paulina Price, what do we know? Well, she’s a true survivor for one. She values hard work. She holds herself in the highest standard.

She cares about Salem, hence hiring me as DA. We’ve got to work on your confidence, Mr. DiMera. Well, what do you think? No time like the present, right? Reach out to her now. Well, why not? The sooner I can make that phone call, the sooner we can build the bridge and we will all be stronger because of it. Isn’t that the first rule of journalism?

You know, you never give up your sources. Yeah, right. Uh, doesn’t apply to your editors. Ah, right. Well, uh, It was just something I, I heard in passing and it, it concerned me. Of course, yeah. And as you know, I live in the same house as Johnny who is a witness to all of it, so Yeah, I mean, there’s that. Right. Um, yeah, well listen, if you come up with any more information or you hear anything, don’t, you know, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Okay. It’s just, at the end of the day, I’m hoping the article is fair and honest because Abe is one of my dearest friends. Yeah, the same. I mean, listen, I, this, this platform is to bring public awareness. It’s not to be destructive or vindictive. So you have my word however this article evolves. Yeah. It’s not going to be hippies.

Got it. Okay. Good. Well, what are you standing around for? You’re supposed to be meeting with Vance. He’s going to set you up in the system so you can start telling your stories.

Leaving town. Hmm. It’s an interesting idea, huh? Truth is, I haven’t given much thought to what Dimitri and I will do next. Well, think about it now, Leo. There’s a whole exciting world out there. Big cities, tons of opportunities. L. A., Chicago. Have you been to New York? Austin’s amazing. What’s, what’s tying you down?

Go take care of you. You know, while you are footloose and fancy free. It is tempting. I like the idea of L. A. actually. The weather, the beaches, the La Brea Tar Pits. But New York has Central Park, Broadway, flaming saddles. Just, okay, I have to go, but I wish you and Dimitri all the happiness in the world, L. A.,

New York, whatever city it may be that you guys go, okay?

Oh, yeah. Well, first, to achieve said happiness, we are gonna need some moolah.

How to rake in the big bucks. I could become an influencer. I already am one. Um, stylist? Underwear model? Sell organs? No, that’s gross. Oh, I could get a second job at Saxton’s. No, no. With the employee discount, all I would do is shop.

E. J. DiMera.

What the info I possess would be worth to him. Hey.

Security told me we’re gonna have an extra visitor today. Yeah, I’m sorry about that. Normally, I Wouldn’t bring my son to an interview, but last minute child care options are far and few between. No worries, man. Jude will be our, uh, our honorary guest. Oh, good. Um, well, he’s beautiful. Yeah, he is.

Unfortunately, he fell asleep on the way. Listen, man, well, should we get started? Yeah, have a seat.

Um, I, so look, you know, I, uh, I took a look at your portfolio, and uh, I was very impressed. So, we’d love to have you do some work here at the paper, if you’re still interested. very much. Yeah? Yeah. Good. Um, I mean, it’d be freelance to start. For the first few assignments, at least, if that’s fair. Yeah, fair.

Okay, good. Um, This is the, uh, employee handbook. Read it over. I’m gonna go, uh, talk to HR and get your paperwork started. Sounds great. Welcome to the team. Thank you. Alright. Good news, right, buddy? Good for our entire team. Our whole family, that is. Eric. What are you doing here?

So, bribing EJ. Let’s start with the pros. Could be a huge possible payday if I spilled the beans. Dimitri and I would be set for life. And the cons, he is the DA and he’s a DiMera. Do I want to tangle with all that? Is it worth it? Ah, and taking Jude from Eric. That would be so hurtful to that sweet little boy.

I wish there was like, a procedure that could just remove my conscience. I know. I’ll go for a walk. That’s what I’ll do. I’ll go for a walk and clear my head.

I texted Abraham. I told him it’s, it’s a waiting game. He sends his love, told me to tell you that he’s praying for you. Thanks. Oh, Kayla. Yeah? I have your test results. Uh, Chanel, would you like to discuss them privately? Uh, no, it’s fine. Mama and Johnny can stay. Oh, oh, oh, sorry. D. A. DiMera. Oh, good. Mayor Price, I caught you.

I was wondering if we could meet up to discuss our current, rather unfortunate situation. Try to clear the air. Uh, no, not now. I’m going to have to get back to you.

Please, continue. Um, okay. Uh, your tests came back normal. Oh, thank God! Just one exception. You’re pregnant, Chanel.

Melinda, I’m telling you, it actually worked. I finally got through to Leo. Combination of things, really. Most being how focused he is on having Dimitri come back home. Yeah, I checked with the courts. That SOB should be returning very soon. And Leo’s just happy to have him back. Wants to celebrate. A fresh start.

Which means I think they’d be open to leaving Salem and never coming back. Me too. I think it’s gonna be okay. It is. Oh, the new Saxton’s catalog. Excellent. Let’s see. Junk. Junk. Garbage. No thank you. And Ah! Ah, bestow my heart, it’s a letter from Dimitri.

Dear Leo, by the time you receive this letter, I will I will be gone. Off on a new adventure.

With someone I met during my time inside. Someone very special.

I did care deeply about you, Leo, but I now realize that we weren’t right for each other. And this man I fell in love with is perfect for me and I for him. I know you’ll be hurt, but I hope once you get over your heartache, you can be happy for me. I also hope that someday you find the perfect love as I have.

Goodbye forever, Leo. You’re Matthew Perry, a. k. a. Dimitri.

You got a job here too? Freelance photography. I’m tired of all of it. Wow, that is almost spooky. Wow, and you are This is my first day. Uh, well, I am the Spectator’s newest ace reporter. Wow. Wow. I cannot believe you’re going to be working here too. Mysterious ways, as always. Huh. Oh, good. Both here. You’re going to do this for HR, Eric.

Um, and uh, IT’s going to get you set up. Both of you set up on servers today because I already have an idea for an assignment. That was fast. It’s no time like the present. Uh, you’re going to be working on it together. So, I think it’s going to be a good solid way to get you guys started.

Paulina hung up on me, dammit. Oof. How dare she? Who does she think she is? Couple of obvious answers to that. This disrespect will not stand if Mad Price wants a war. She’s got one.

Pregnant? Well, we use protection. I mean, I know it’s not always 100 percent effective, but Oh my god, John. Wow. I, I, I mean, I, I, I can’t I mean, this is amazing news, right?

Kayla, what is it? Well, based on HGC numbers and the timing of your last menstrual cycle, we are placing you at about four to five weeks along, Chanel. And although it seems that you do not have radiation poisoning, The first few weeks of a pregnancy are crucial for the proper development of a fetus’s major organs.

So something could be wrong with our baby? Well, we’re going to consider this a high risk pregnancy. So I would like you to make an appointment with your OBGYN immediately. But we will continue to monitor your health and the baby’s health through the whole pregnancy. So, how long will it be before we know that the baby’s okay?

Well, it could be a few weeks, or it could be after the baby’s born. And then everything could be perfectly fine. But we just have no way of knowing at this point, and I really wish we did.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Billy: Hi.

Abby: Hi. Thank you for meeting me.

Billy: Of course. I can’t turn down an invitation from my favorite niece.

Abby: Hmm. Even though I didn’t vote the way you would’ve liked at the board meeting about daniel’s lawsuit?

Billy: I don’t think it’s in the best interest to get into a legal battle at this time with chancellor-winters. But that’s business, right? Although it does get a little tricky when you mix corporate politics and family politics. I’m sure that was a little uncomfortable for you.

Abby: Well, I’m not a rookie at this. And I have maintained my seat on the jabot board despite any family conflicts, and I’ve enjoyed it. Yes, it may get complicated, but that’s part of the fun, right?

Billy: It definitely is. I take it that was your first board vote alongside a romantic partner? It’s a whole new ballgame, isn’t it?

Nate: So, are lily and abby joining us?

Devon: Not this time.

Nate: Oh. Well, this seems to be a little more serious than a casual drink with my cousin.

Devon: Yeah. Yeah. That’s, um– it’s as serious as it gets. ‘Cause I need to know that I can trust you.

Nikki: [ Slurring ] Uh, victor? Victor? Jack? Lauren? Jack? Oh, can’t you people stop calling me? Can I have one damn moment of peace? I mean, is that so much to ask?

[ Grunts ]

[ Sighs ] That bitch is finally dead. I deserve this. I earned it.

[ Cell phone buzzes ] God, who now? Oh… well, victor again. “I’ve been trying to reach you. “Where are you?” Right where I wanna be. Yep.

[ Exhales ] Right where I wanna be.

[ Both laughing ]

Ashley: I’m having more fun than I have had in ages.

Alan: Well, maybe you should get out more often.

Ashley: Well, that is the truth. I hate to use this pun, but you are just what the doctor ordered, doctor.

Alan: Even though your brother and sister want me to–

Ashley: Examine me? Oh, yeah. Examine away. I’m an open book. Could we get through all the boring things, though, and get down to the good stuff? Especially if there’s a happy ending involved.

Alan: Your voice.

Ashley: What– what about it?

Alan: Well, it’s just, uh– there’s something different about it. Like, I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Ashley: I find that when I’m in france… [ Laughs ] … I tend to speak more carefully and more distinctly. You know? I get back into the good ol’ usa, and back comes the american accent. It’s kind of like taking off a too-tight high heel and putting something more comfortable on.

Alan: Well, it’s, uh, very charming.

Ashley: Ah, thank you. Almost out of bubbles.

Alan: Oh, no.

Ashley: Do you wanna order another one?

Alan: Ah, hmm…

Ashley: What do you think?

Alan: I’m not sure it’S…

Ashley: Uh…

Jack: I hope I’m not interrupting.

Ashley: What are you doing here? I didn’t think diane let you out after dark.

Jack: I was working late. I thought I might drop by for a drink.

Ashley: Ugh. Liar, liar, pants on fire. Traci snitched on me, and now you’re here to wreck my date. Try killing bugs the worry-free way.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Jack: You must be ashley’s friend, alan.

Alan: Alan laurent.

Ashley: Yeah, this is my brother, jack.

Alan: Oh! Yes, jack. Nice to meet you.

Jack: Hope it was an easy flight.

Alan: It was. Thank you very much for the ticket.

Jack: How long you visiting genoa city?

Alan: Uh, not long. I’m guest lecturing at a psychology convention next week. I’ll be due in vienna, so…

Ashley: Unless I can talk you out of going. People tell me I’m pretty good at getting what I want.

Alan: Of that, I have no doubt. Would you like to join us?

Ashley: Oh, don’t feel obligated.

Jack: Thank you. I think I will. So, ashley has kept you under wraps. I know you’re friends, but not much more. How long have you two known each other? When did you meet?

Ashley: Go ahead. Why don’t you tell that story?

Alan: No, I think you would do it justice.

Ashley: Well, damn. Nobody told me there was gonna be a pop quiz.

Abby: Yes, serving on the board alongside devon is different, but I’m up for the challenge.

Billy: No doubt about that. It does have its benefits, of course.

Abby: Do I like where this is going?

Billy: Look, I just mean that I’m not devon’s favorite person right now, so I’m sure he knows I’d be a little reluctant to sit down with him and break bread. So maybe that’s why we’re here. Maybe you’re here to deliver a peace offering. Or maybe it’s a warning.

Abby: I’m gonna try not to be offended, because you clearly don’t think I have a mind of my own.

Billy: That’s not how I meant that.

Abby: But because you are my favorite uncle, I’m gonna let it slide. The fact is, devon does not know I’m meeting with you tonight.

Billy: That’s interesting. Under the radar. Why’s that?

Abby: I just wanna give you a heads up.

Billy: So this is a warning?

Abby: No, it’s not a warning. I’m just– I’m concerned. I care about you and devon very much, and I don’t like where I sense this is going.

Devon: I’m worried about a situation that could be a threat to the company, and it concerns lily.

Nate: Lily?

Devon: Yeah.

Nate: Wow. For a second there, I thought you were about to say billy.

Devon: Well, that’s who I’m talking about. Billy is the threat. ‘Cause you and I both know that he’s been trying to flex his power around the office lately, and I feel like it’s a part of his agenda right now to get close to lily and get her to side with him.

Nate: How do you know that? Do you have proof?

Devon: I don’t have anything concrete. It’s just something I picked up on between the two of them that I felt before, and I can usually trust my gut.

Nate: But that’s not a lot to go on, no matter how strong a gut feeling you have. And this is lily we’re talking about here.

Devon: Right. It’s not just that, though. There’s more. She’s upset with me because of the fact that I knew what was going on between daniel and heather while she was out of town, and I didn’t say anything.

Nate: Ah. So she was hurt and upset when she realized it.

Devon: Yeah.

Nate: But, again, lily isn’t the type to hold grudges. And you did vote with her to fight daniel’s lawsuit.

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Nate: I don’t see what you have to be worried about.

Devon: I’m worried that i can’t count on her vote anymore. And that if she keeps siding with billy and jill on everything, I’m gonna lose all say in my own company.

Nate: Okay, so what do you wanna do about it?

Devon: I wanna figure out how to get billy out of the company.

If you have chronic

kidney disease you can reduce

Nate: Trying to oust billy? That’s a big move. Jill will raise hell.

Devon: Not if it’s done right. And I’m starting to get to the point where I feel like we don’t have a choice, nate.

Nate: Um, so figuring out how to work together isn’t an option?

Devon: Why would I want to? I mean, really, you’ve witnessed firsthand how he is. He challenges every single thing that I have to say, and the only thing he cares about is putting his family stamp on the company. There’s nothing productive about having him with us.

Nate: Don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m wondering if your concern is more personal than for the good of the company.

Devon: And why would you say that?

Nate: Well, you’re upset with billy because he’s challenging you, challenging your authority, authority you wanna hold on to.

Devon: You know, though, that I’ve built this company, half the company, from the ground up with neil. So I’ve earned that authority. What’s billy done? What does he do besides waltz in and out at chancellor-winters whenever he wants and make demands and think that he’s due respect that he hasn’t earned? Nobody wants to work with somebody like that. And if nothing changes in regards to him being there, I’m gonna have to really start thinking about pulling myself out altogether and taking half of the company with me.

Nate: What? You’d really go that far?

Devon: I absolutely would if I was pushed to it. This is about me being worried that billy is getting to lily. ‘Cause if that happens, everything we built could fall apart.

Nate: Why would you think that? Lily’s allegiance has always been to her family. Unless you don’t trust your own sister?

Abby: Look, billy, I don’t know how this is gonna play out. But I don’t think it’s gonna be pretty. And you and devon are the eye of the storm.

Billy: Look, abby, we butt heads. Okay, but that’s business. We’re not gonna agree on everything. We don’t have to agree on everything.

Abby: I get that. But this seems personal.

Billy: Why do you say that?

Abby: Devon seems to think that you’re making power plays to try to gain more control of chancellor-winters.

Billy: Did he say that?

Abby: And I told him of course not. But, billy, I need to know the truth. What are you really wanting out of chancellor-winters?

Ashley: We were two americans in paris, and we met at a café.

Alan: It was a museum, actually.

Ashley: The louvre.

Alan: The d’orsay.

Ashley: I know. [ Laughs ] We were looking at a monet.

[ Alan clears throat ]

Alan: It was a van gogh.

Ashley: And you were there all by yourself, just looking at the paintings and just–

Alan: Actually, I was there with a colleague. We’d just come from the office.

Ashley: Her name was antoinette.

Alan: His name was jean-claude.

Ashley: Of course, I recall. You know– you know, that whole day just kind of pales in comparison of meeting my– my dear friend, alan.

Jack: Well, that’s some story.

Ashley: And I am still so blessed that I can call you my friend.

Alan: It’s nice to catch up.

Ashley: It really is.

Jack: Well, it’s good you’re here, alan. I won’t interrupt your evening anymore. I hope to see you before you leave for europe.

Alan: I look forward to it. Your brother’s very charming.

Ashley: No, he isn’T. That was a fishing expedition. He’s dying for an update about my mental capacity, or lack thereof. So how am I doing, doctor?

Nikki: [ Slurring ] Why can’t you people just leave me alone? I’m so sick of it. Sick of it. The way you all look at me. “Poor nikki. “So brave. “So strong. “So drunk. “And so weak. “Can’t trust her, though. “Don’t trust her, she’ll make “everything worse. “And so stupid.” It’s all my fault. All my fault.

Nikki: I– I– I shouldn’T. I need… I need jack. I need help. Ah…

[ Exhales ] Victor? Victor, are you here? Victor? Oh, thank god you’re here.

Victor: Wait, wait, wait. Who the hell allowed you on the ranch? How did you get in here?

Nikki: What?

Victor: Get out! You didn’t live this strong,

Nikki: Get out? What are you talking about?

Victor: I will call security if you don’t get out right now.

Nikki: No, no, no, don’t– don’t do it like this. I– I– give me another chance.

Victor: What do you mean, another chance? I’ve given you more chances than one can shake your fist at!

Nikki: I’ll stop drinking, I promise.

Victor: You’re drunk right now!

Nikki: No, I’m not.

Victor: You’re lying.

Nikki: Victor, please…

Victor: Why don’t you go see jack abbott? Your sponsor. Your savior. The man I detest. Is that why you brought him on?

Nikki: You know it’s not.

Victor: And then you brought jordan into our lives.

Nikki: Well, I– I–

Victor: Didn’t you?

Nikki: I didn’t mean for that to happen.

Victor: And you know what happened, right? She traumatized our great-grandson. And who knows what our granddaughter’s going through right now. She may be fighting for her life! You did that!

Victoria: Mom!

Nick: What are you doing here?

Nikki: Please. Please talk to your father. Tell him how sorry I am. He’ll listen to you.

Nick: You’re sorry?

Victoria: You think sorry is enough? After the hell you’ve put our family through?

Alan: There is no diagnosis, ashley. You and I are friends, just like we were in paris.

Ashley: Right. But there’s an agenda.

Alan: Look, your family’s worried about you. All right? Just like you were concerned about your memories around tucker, and we talked it through then, and I believe it helped. Maybe we can do the same now. You know? So I– I would love to spend some time with you and, uh… you know, just go over what’s on your mind.

Ashley: Okay. Well, um… we don’t have to get another bottle here. We could go somewhere else. I happen to know a lovely little jazz club that is in the hotel that you’re staying in. It’ll almost remind you of paris.

Alan: Hmm. That does sound tempting.

Ashley: Okay, say yes.

Alan: Unfortunately, the jet lag is kicking in. I’m gonna have to call it a night.

Ashley: How about since you don’t know anything about this city, I escort you back to your hotel, okay?

Alan: Sounds lovely.

Ashley: Okay.

Alan: Allow me.

Ashley: Thank you.

Billy: What I want is for chancellor-winters to be as successful as it possibly can. And I want my mother’s position, her contribution, and her legacy to be represented.

Abby: Devon respects jill very much, and he knows how valuable she is to the company.

Billy: Oh, sure, as long as he doesn’t have to publicly acknowledge it beyond a pat on the back.

Abby: That’s unfair.

Billy: What I think is unfair is that my entire focus has been on what’s best for this company. It’s devon that is taking it personal, as if everything I’m doing to help this company is a direct competition to his kingdom.

Abby: That’s a bit harsh, don’t you think?

Billy: Abby, devon’s mo has always been complete autonomy, okay? And given the corporate structure of this company, it’s not conducive to that. Yeah, have I shaken things up a little bit since coming here? Have I challenged his authority here and there? Maybe. But it’s been for good reason. And now, I’m the newest threat to his control.

Abby: Well, devon thinks you want complete autonomy. So that’s the problem. How do I fix this? How do I facilitate a truce between two of my favorite guys so you can work together?

Billy: I hate to break it to you, but I think we’re past the point of hugging it out.

Devon: I trust lily. Completely. Billy’s the one I have a problem with. All right? ‘Cause I know that those two have a history together, and I know that she’s vulnerable right now because of what daniel just put her through. She’s probably trying to figure out who she can trust, and billy is right there whispering in her ear.

Nate: But wouldn’t she be looking for absolute stability? Meaning family. Instead of someone like billy, who’s let her down how many times now?

Devon: That makes sense, yeah. You’d think so. But like I said, she’s vulnerable. And billy knows this, and he’s gonna use it.

Nate: Against you?

Devon: Okay, I’m the one he doesn’t like. Yes.

Nate: Look… have you ever considered that maybe you’re overreacting?

Devon: No, I haven’T. Why, do you think I’m being paranoid?

[ Nate sighs ] Okay. I mean… uh… I don’t even know what to say. Maybe this is what billy wants. He wants us to turn on each other.

Nate: No, I– I’m not turning on you, devon. I’m just stating an opinion that’s different from yours.

[ Sighs ] I wonder what neil would think about all this infighting. Who was more about family than your father?

Devon: I completely agree. Which is why all I’m trying to do, and all I’ve ever tried to do, is protect this family’s legacy through the company. And I think that we need to be prepared to fight if it comes to that. So I’m just asking if I can count on you.

Nate: Well, you’re doubting lily, and you’ve gone back to questioning my loyalty. So if this is the direction things are headed in, and billy’s the cause, well, I agree with you on one thing. We have to get abbott out of the company. This skinny pop is amazing.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Chance: Take it I wasn’t supposed to hear that.

Devon: We don’t mind you hearing what we said. We’re not keeping any secrets. And I know where your loyalty lies.

Chance: Oh, you do, huh?

Devon: Yeah.

Chance: Okay, well, what happened to loyalty to chancellor-winters, devon? Because that’s where my loyalty lies. I don’t know about you, but this infighting, this petty, personal bull that’s going on, I want nothing to do with it. So if you want to let me go for having an opinion that you don’t like, I will gladly pack up my office now.

Devon: Nobody’s saying that at all. Not at all. I think that you just– you’re not understanding what’s at stake.

Chance: It mostly sounds like your egos.

Nate: I’m with chance on this. One way or another, we have to stop turning on each other. The only way we can help chancellor-winters shine is to get past this conflict and work as a united front.

Devon: Okay. I will– I’m a little confused now ’cause of what you’re saying. I feel like I can count on you about as much as billy can count on chance.

Billy: Devon wants to run this company on his own, the way he always has been. He’s not interested in working together for the greater good.

Abby: Chancellor-winters has been very successful.

Billy: It has been. Maybe despite devon, but not because of him, okay? Time and time again, he’s proven he doesn’t wanna work together. He sees any sort of disagreement, any sort of difference of opinion, as a mutiny. We can’t stand for that if we want chancellor-winters to see its full potential.

Abby: It sounds like you want devon out. Would you actually do that?

Nikki: Darling, you don’t mean that.

Victoria: Why did you let her in?

Nikki: Are you turning on me too?

Victoria: I may never see claire again because of you.

Nikki: I– I was just trying to help.

Victoria: You only pretended to accept her.

Nikki: No, I did accept her.

Victoria: You blamed claire for getting you hooked on alcohol again and this mess that you’ve become.

Nikki: That is not true.

Victoria: Then you whine that it’s everyone else’s fault, that you’re a drunk, but it’s what you’ve always been. It’s who you’ve always been.

Nikki: Nicholas, you know that that’s not true. Please tell her. Tell your father.

Nick: You made my daughter’s life hell. She almost lost her son because of you. He’s barely speaking because of you.

Nikki: I’ll talk to summer. I’ll explain it to her.

Nick: Mom, she doesn’t wanna see you ever again, and neither do I.

Nikki: What?

Victor: Why are you doing this to our children?

Nikki: I– I– I just wanna fix things.

Victor: Some things can’t be fixed.

Nikki: Please, just let– let me make things right.

Victoria: The only way that you can make things right is to stop embarrassing yourself. If you don’t call security, I’m going to.

Nikki: Nicholas. Nicholas, please.

Nick: Mom, you brought this on yourself.

Nikki: Why are you doing this? We’re family.

Nick: Because you’re a drunk.

Nikki: And– and I wanna get sober. You know I do, but I– I can’t do it alone. I need you.

Nick: Mom, we’ve given you every chance imaginable!

Nikki: This time is different.

Victoria: It’s not gonna be different than any other time. We have offered to help you, but you’ve always been too proud, too strong.

Victor: The only support you ever wanted is jack abbott’s support. I came to you many times. You pushed me away. You accused me of hovering over you. Didn’t you?

Nikki: Well, jack is– is my sponsor–

Victor: I don’t give a damn what he is. I can’t stand the guy. You ran to him every time.

Nikki: But, darling, I love you.

Victor: You disgust me.

Nikki: Please don’t say that.

Victor: You reap what you sow! Live with it!

Nikki: But, victor, please–

Victor: Get the hell out of here! I can’t stand looking at you! Out!

Ashley: I swear.

Alan: Okay, murders, uh, kidnapping, and an explosion. That’s quite the history this hotel has. And all those scandals. Are you sure you didn’t make some of that up?

Ashley: I am. And I may have participated in one or two, but I’ll never tell.

Alan: Your secrets are safe with me.

Ashley: Are they?

Alan: This– this is me. I assume no scandals happened here.

Ashley: Not yet.

Alan: Ashley, I do miss hanging out with you.

Ashley: Yeah?

Alan: You are more entertaining than ever.

Ashley: Entertaining? I was going for irresistible.

Alan: Oh.

Ashley: And, um, I bet you have one or two champagne splits in your minibar that have corks that are just dying to be popped. I’ll behave myself. I’ll even take a peek at your inkblots.

Alan: I would be terrible company.

Ashley: Not possible.

Alan: I promise I will be good as new in the morning.

Ashley: Okay. Well, then I am officially inviting you for breakfast. You can’t say no.

Alan: I wouldn’t think of it. Mwah. Mwah. A demain.

Alan: Jack?

Jack: Look, I’m sorry for the intrusion, but I have to ask. How does my sister seem to you?

Dupixent helps people with

Alan: I just have to spend more time with ashley before I can give you any real insight as to what’s going on. But there is definitely a different dynamic coming from her than I am used to seeing.

Jack: In what way?

Alan: Well, I mean, ashley is very sophisticated, brilliant. Wry, cool as a cucumber. Today, she’s flirtatious and bubbly, completely out of character. On the other hand, she is, uh, recovering from a broken heart and the trauma of a breakup, and maybe this is her way of handling the stress that she’s been going through.

Jack: Stress may be the underlying problem here, but believe me, there is more than one dynamic at play here.

Alan: Yes, traci told me about that as well, that ashley’s behaving like a teenager at times.

Jack: Young, impetuous, overly earnest.

Alan: But the commanding, more aggressive personality is coming forward as well.

Jack: These days we have no idea which ashley we’re gonna get.

Alan: Well, eventually I’m sure we’ll get to the bottom of it, but like I said, it’s not gonna happen overnight.

Jack: Ashley leaves the house these days, I’m scared. Will she return? She admits to losing time, where she was, how she got there, what she’s done. One minute she’s ready to go to therapy, the next she runs away.

Alan: Yeah, well, that kind of inner conflict is really not that unusual.

Jack: Listen, I have been so desperate to do something, anything, I have actually considered committing her to treatment. What kind of brother does that?

Alan: One who cares. All right? You were trying to help. It is a normal reaction.

Jack: Ashley deserves to live a normal, healthy life. Look, I– I saw how comfortable she was with you, and I gotta say, it gives me a lot of hope.

Alan: I promise you I will do my best.

Ashley: Now, where’s the tequila? What kind of a bar is this anyway? No tequila? Well, that’s no bar at all. Now, what the hell are you doing here?

Ms. Abbott: I’m getting stronger every day.

Belle: Oh, yeah, I can tell. I like your jewelry.

Ms. Abbott: How could you be so stupid? Botching that story of how you first met alan?

Belle: I did just fine.

Ms. Abbott: Well, the hell you did.

Belle: I played it like it was a game. Alan played along, he enjoyed himself, I could tell.

Ms. Abbott: And the entire time he was taking notes. And there you were. Hi, I’m just a bubble-headed idiot. Oh, please, kind sir, won’t you please pour me some more champagne so I can screw this whole thing up even more?

Belle: It was a date. That could lead to something wonderful for ashley.

Ms. Abbott: It wasn’t a date, you moron. It was a psych evaluation over drinks. He’s looking for information so he can take us all down!

Victor: You disgust me!

Nick: You are a drunk.

Victoria: You whine that it’s all their fault that you’re a drunk. But it’s what you’ve always been. It’s who you’ve always been.

Victor: You get the hell out of this house! You get the hell away from all of us!

Nikki: No. My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis held me back…

Nate: You absolutely can trust me to be on board with whatever’s best for chancellor-winters.

Chance: And I second that. I can be counted on when it matters. But when it comes to the bickering, I’m out.

Devon: Okay. And I– I understand that, gentlemen. I get completely where you both are coming from. But my bottom line is, I don’t think billy belongs at the company.

Chance: Okay, so this isn’t about what’s best for the company. It is personal.

Devon: No, that’s not true. It’s both. It’s always both. But since my name’s on the company, it’s always gonna be personal. It’s as personal as it gets. And as the ceo of the winters side of the company, I don’t want billy to be a part of it. And you can let him know that if you like.

Chance: I’m not your messenger.

Devon: I didn’t mean it that way, all right? I’m just saying, I’m not gonna slink around and talk about people behind their backs the way billy abbott does. He can know. In fact, I’m sure he already does know that I don’t want him there.

Abby: Chancellor-winters means everything to devon. He built the winters part with neil. It’s devon’s legacy. It’s my son’s legacy. And you wanna take that away from him?

Billy: Abby, I understand all that, okay? And I’m not trying to push devon out. I simply wanna make a little bit of room at the table.

Abby: You know, I wish I believed you, billy. I really do. But I don’T.

Jack: Given your background, your history with ashley, it gives me a lot of hope.

Alan: Well, I’ll– I’ll do whatever I can.

Jack: Listen, I won’t take up any more of your time. Thank you for indulging me.

Alan: Well, we all want the same thing. Ashley healthy.

Jack: I could not be more grateful that you are here. Hopefully, ashley won’t do another disappearing act or something more troubling.

Ashley: You are just blowing everything out of proportion. And you refuse to see the danger you are putting us all in.

Belle: Please. I have half a mind to jump on that jet with that very handsome doctor, go to paris and never look back.

Ms. Abbott: No. You can’t do that.

Belle: I don’t know why not.

Ms. Abbott: I’ll tell you why. Because you’re gonna find yourself in a situation that you can’t flirt yourself out of.

Belle: Huh! And what are they gonna do? They’re gonna commit me just because I couldn’t get one silly story straight?

Ms. Abbott: This wasn’t just one story. They’re building a case against us. You were being tested. And you failed.

Belle: Says you. You forget. I have a plan.

Ms. Abbott: Dating the doctor is not a plan.

Belle: Neither’s killing tucker.

Ms. Abbott: I see what you’re doing. You just want an excuse to party. Guess what? It’s over now.

Belle: Well, I got news for you. I’m a lover. Not a fighter. And I’m not gonna stand by and let you ruin our lives.

[ Chuckles ]

Ashley: It always comes back to me. I have to do everything on my own. I’m the only one that knows how to get things done.

[ Sighs ] Hmm.

[ Door opens ]

Nikki: Ah. Uh. No!

Jack: Nikki?

Nikki: No!

Jack: Nikki?

Nikki: Go away!

Jack: Come, nikki,

Nikki: No, go, get out!

Jack: Let me in, nikki! Nikki!

Nikki: Go away, jack!

Jack: I’m not going anywhere. Let me in!

Nikki: Go away.

Jack: Nikki, don’t make me do this.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

thanks for coming by. All right, my man. Okay, so are we talking about aurora’s potential move into wellness and fitness? Oh, it’s not potential anymore. We’re doing it. Yep. My people ran the numbers. We’re doing a dual launch — an online lifestyle website. We’re doing brick and mortar. The flagship gym is gonna be right here in port charles. It’s gonna be huge. All we need is somebody to run the division. So are you interested? I need you to get a cbc. Can you also get a cmp and a ct scan? Excuse me. Can I leave this for nurse baldwin? She’s expecting it. I’ll be sure she gets it. Thank you. Aiden. Weren’t you gonna say hello? Scott, you have to help us. Lucy insists on being the on-air pitchwoman for deception. Ah, for crying out loud, maxie. You know lucy. She gets one whiff of fame, and she’s off to the races. There’s no stopping her. We have to because “home & heart” said they’re not gonna give us another spot if lucy insists on being on camera. Well, I can threaten to sue, but it would be a bluff. It’s their show. They can put on who they want. No, no, we do not want another lawsuit. We want to sell our products. And if we lose this opportunity, we lose exposure, which translates to lost sales. So please just talk to her. Maybe convince her we need someone else to — you would not believe all the people staring at me as I walked through the lobby. You know, it’s so gratifying. Although I am just a very humble working gal, but I have thousands of followers. And I can’t even tell you. I couldn’t be specific. As I walked through the door, I added that much…more. Hi. Did you see my post? So many likes. I rest my case. So nice. Thank you guys for having me over for breakfast. Yeah. I’m so surprised the little one is so quiet. It was practically kicking field goals yesterday. Field goals? Sorry we missed it. Yeah. Me too. He or she is probably just… well, sleeping now ’cause they tired themselves out. Mm. Yeah. Are you? Sleeping, that is? Yeah. Usually, I manage about six or seven hours a night. Never less than five. Why? Well, molly mentioned you stopped by pretty late the other night. After A…fight.

[ Knocking ] May I help you? Yes. I’m sorry to just show up in your doorway, but your assistant wasn’t at her desk. Oh, if this is about the editorial… no. No. I’m natalia ramirez. I’m alison’s mom, kristina’s friend. Ah. Yes, of course. Come on in. I’m sorry. I know you’re a busy woman. As am I. I just thought that it was time that we met. Absolutely. Nice to meet you. I’ve heard a lot about you. Nice to meet you. Yeah, I’m sure you have. Probably not all of it good. Am I right?

Kristina and i had a — had a bumpy start because when I first met her, she was in alison’s bed, which was a surprise, as you can imagine, and I had no idea. That they were together? No, no clue to the nature of their attachment. I understand that blaze hadn’t come out to you yet, and I’m hoping it wasn’t too much of a surprise. Please. Well, ms. Davis… uh, call me alexis. Oh. Great. Thank you. Please call me natalia. So… mm. Oh, you know, I had the pleasure of meeting kristina’s father. You met sonny? Ah. He didn’t tell me. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And from what he said, it sounded like you two have a really good relationship. Did he say that? Oh. And I know kristina’s really close to her dad. She is, very close. Kristina loves her family. Well, that’s obvious. Especially since she’s carrying her sister’s baby. Tj, I told you kristina came over around midnight. She just wanted to talk. Yeah, I was pretty worked up, which I know isn’t good for the baby, and just needed some sister time. No one calms me down like molly. These hormones are no joke. And as for the fight, josslyn apologized and we worked things out. Yeah. Mind if I ask what the argument was about? Just josslyn being josslyn, you know? Complaining about my dad. Did sonny do something we’re all gonna hear about? No. No, nothing like that. No, no, no. It’s just, ever since carly and my dad broke up, josslyn totally turned on my dad, and she’s always saying negative things about my dad, whether they’re true or not. In this instance, though, it turned out to be true. I’m sorry. But, you know, parents are human. Sometimes they disappoint us. Family rifts are difficult. It’s one more reason to be careful. Careful? About keeping you safe. Even if that means keeping you away from that side of your family. I dropped off the cupcakes you wanted for amy’s birthday. Oh, thank you. Everyone is going to love them. What do I owe you? We can settle at home. My free period’s almost over. I need to head back to school. Tell amy “happy birthday.” Um [Chuckles] Are you forgetting something? Am I? Uh, can you give your mom a hug? Mm. Wait. What is this? Why is there paint on your backpack? That’s why I wanted you from the very beginning. You’ve got experience in management. You’ve got incredible talent for leadership. You’ve got practical knowledge in the fitness industry. You’d be able to tailor everything to meet our customers. I really hope that you consider being on board. This is? Well, that’s the official offer. Your proposed salary, stock options, benefits, a whole slew of perks, and, of course, your stake in the company. Just take a look and let me know what you think. I’ll do that. Drew, you know this is gonna be a huge change to my life. I get that. It’s a huge change for aurora, too. That’s why I want you at the helm. There is nobody that I trust more than you to take charge. Nina: I completely agree with that. Take charge of what?

Oh, right, that happened in art class. I wasn’t looking where I put my backpack. Maybe it’ll wash out. Well, maybe, but that’s a lot of paint, aiden. Or I can just switch to one of cam’s old backpacks. He left, like, six of them. And last week, you came home with paint in your hair. Mom, it’s art class. There’s a lot of paint. I [Sighs] I got to go.

[ Breathes deeply ] Rumor has it that aiden made cupcakes for amy’s birthday. Yeah. Please don’t tell me they’re just for nurses, only because I want one. I know what an excellent baker your son is. Yes, he is. Alison told me about kristina’s pregnancy. It is a brave new world out there, isn’t it? Yes, it is. It continues to be. My daughter molly was having fertility problems. Oh. Really struggling to have a family, and kristina wanted to help her out. They love each other, and I’m very proud of them. Yeah, of course, you’d be. But you know that their choices present some complications for kristina and alison. Oh. How so? Well, pregnancy in and of itself is a complication. It’s a disruption in a woman’s life, in a couple’s life. And that’s under the happiest of circumstances. I was under the impression that blaze was nothing but supportive. Oh, yeah, she is, of course. That’s my allie. But there’s also public perception to consider. Natalia… I am very happy to meet you, and I’m so glad that you came by, but I can see that this might be more than a meet and greet. So if there is something on your mind, please feel free to share that. Good. I’m really glad that you are open to an honest discussion because I’m concerned for my daughter. She thinks she’s entitled to a private life, but as blaze, that can’t happen. Yeah, the cost of fame. Your point being? Two women seen out together, one of them pregnant. People are bound to ask whose baby it is, and most people are just gonna assume that it’s theirs. I’m not sure why that would be anyone else’s business.

[ Sighs ] Alexis, you run a newspaper. You have a gossip column. If the girls are out and somebody shoots a picture of them together and posts it, I mean, you know more than anybody that one photo can change somebody’s life for better or for worse. If you’re referring to my father, I have no intention of staying away from him. I love him very much, and he always has my support. Okay, I understand that, but I also know that my uncle curtis was just shot from simply being in the same vicinity as sonny. So all I’m suggesting is that you keep some distance during the pregnancy. I’ve made it crystal clear that this baby’s well-being is my top priority, tj. You have. And we appreciate that. I’ve been eating healthy. I’ve been taking my vitamins. I’m staying hydrated. I’m going to all of my doctor’s appointments. I’ve even paused working at the corinthos-davis center for this pregnancy. I am taking extremely good care of myself. And seeing my friends and my family, that’s included in that. I don’t think separating myself from them is necessary or healthy. If you’ll excuse me, I have a full day ahead of me. No, kristina, please don’t go. No, really, I should — I should get going because I would hate to have to rush or get home past my bedtime. You’ve barely touched your breakfast. I know how to feed myself. I do manage a restaurant. I love you. Really, tj? What was that all about? Curtis and I were discussing an upcoming project, nina. Does that mean that you’d be joining the aurora family? I’m working on it. Yeah, we just started discussing all the details. You see, that’s great. As you know, you just don’t jump on the first offer. Drew is a very smooth negotiator. If you shake on anything, make sure you count your fingers afterwards. I haven’t heard you complaining.

[ Sighs, chuckles ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Sighs ] Well, you drive a hard bargain, drew. I’m just giving my good friend some sound advice. Curtis, before you get in bed with drew… …make sure you know what you’re getting into. And so what are you doing here? Oh, well, I came to talk to maxie. Really? Maxie, huh?

[ Whispering ] You know, you don’t need an excuse if you really just want to see me.

[ Normal voice ] I’ll tell you what. Why don’t we go to my office, and we can watch a replay of my segment on “home & heart”? Um, I-I don’t think that’s a good idea. No, it’s a great idea. I know. No. I know I did really well. I did. It’s just that I thought maybe I could take notes on my performance, hone my craft a little bit, you know? There’s always room for improvement. I’ve been reading up on marilyn monroe. She studied with lee strasberg. That method acting technique says you should infuse your own experiences, really, to make the audience feel what you’re — okay, lucy? The pitchwoman for deception is not supposed to be acting. They’re supposed to be selling. And they do that by projecting sincerity and approachability. The audience needs to feel like this person is a friend whose recommendations they trust so when the pitchwoman says, “deception’s disruptor nourishing cream really refreshens your complexion,” the audience believes them. And they buy the product. Right. But the first thing the pitchwoman has to do is actually mention the product! I agree. Of course. That’s why I still think that my name should be in the title for our new skin care line. Like lucy’s luminous skin serum. Or lucy’s luminous luscious lotion. Which do you like? I actually can’T. Please stop this madness and just tell her. What? Tell me what? Uh, lucy… um, your appearance on the “home & heart” show… …it was a disaster.

[ Gasps ]

Disaster?! I was an unqualified success. It was a dumpster fire. Maxie, go easy on her. Someone has to tell her the truth.

[ Sighs ] The tru– the truth?! The truth is, is I completely crushed it. And — and wait, I have all the comments right here to prove it. Lucy, you talked about yourself on live tv for a solid hour. You recapped your greatest successes, real and imaginary. You barely mentioned our product or deception. You were clearly there to sell yourself. I am deception. I created deception, and deception’s my baby. And our audience knows that. Okay, yes, you have a following, but that does not automatically translate to sales. You were there to introduce our new face cream, not inflate your own ego.

[ Gasps ] That’s just rude. No, rude was how you were constantly trying to one-up haven. That’s because of haven! She is jealous of me, and she can’t stand the competition. Haven calls the shots. She wants sales, not self-promotion. Exactly. And the bottom line is, haven is a businesswoman, and she will forget all the envy and anything about me because the sales are skyrocketing, and it’s because of me. What are you doing? Tell her. Lucy, about those skyrocketing sales, okay? They are skyrocketing because of me because the numbers do not lie. You’re right — the sales are great. But they’re not because of you. Drew, you have given me a lot to think about. So, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll get right to it. I’ll look forward to hearing from you. Yeah. I’ll be in touch. Okay. Meanwhile… you two play nice. Nice to see you. Curtis is my friend. Mine, too. Yeah. So you say. He’s just getting back on his feet. I do not want you to take advantage of him. I’m not taking advantage of him. I’m offering him an opportunity that benefits both of us. It’s a wonder how you can keep all these plates spinning in the air without dropping one of them. I guess it’s just a talent of mine. Now, nina, what did you want to see me about? My daughter. I didn’t get a chance to ask why michael and willow were in your office yesterday before that…lapse of sanity overtook us again. “Lapse of sanity”? Is that what we’re calling it? Drew, I really want to know — why was willow here? Elizabeth. Is everything okay? I’m not sure. Aiden had pink paint on his backpack. He said he’d just set it down in the wrong place, but it looked like somebody deliberately did it to him. And last week, he came home with paint in his hair. It wasn’t a lot, but it definitely looked like somebody had flicked a paintbrush at him on purpose.

[ Groans ] And you’re worried about bullying. Well, yeah. I mean, it’s happened before when he was younger. So the thought’s definitely crossed my mind. But whatever is happening, he seems to want to just handle it himself. Yeah, but sometimes our kids think that they can handle it themselves, but they can’t really. I know, but I don’t want to hover. I know. Yeah. I get that. I hate that term — “helicopter mom.” Mm. It makes you feel like you’re second-guessing yourself when you’re concerned or involved in your children’s lives. There’s being concerned, and then there’s wanting to control your son’s life, and I just — I don’t know where this falls on the spectrum. Maybe you could chat with his counselor. Talk to his teachers, see what they know, what they don’t know. They see so much more than we do sometimes. At the end of the day, we just want what’s best for our kids, right? Moll. Moll. Come on. Talk to me. Trust me, you do not want to hear what I am thinking right now. Okay. Look, I get that you’re angry. No, I’m frustrated and disappointed, and I cannot for the life of me understand what you thought you were doing coming for kristina like that. I was thinking of our baby’s well-being. And kristina’s, too. Look, I commend her for living a healthy lifestyle and following the guidelines, but is it not common sense to want to stay out of the line of fire? Believe me, I have no illusions about sonny, but he is highly unlikely to put his pregnant daughter at risk. Tell that to my uncle curtis. Things happen. Okay. But let’s have a sense of proportion. We cannot ask my sister to stay away from her father. Yeah, well, I just did. Oh, and you saw how well that went. I expected pushback, molly, and I’m not sorry that I tried, and that’s not gonna stop me from speaking my mind to the woman carrying our child, even if she’s the daughter of a dangerous man. As a now-responsible journalist, I don’t really approve of policing social media sites. I mean, I think people have the right to think or say whatever they want, regardless of how despicable or ridiculous it is, as long as it’s within the law. That’s commendable — as a journalist. What about as a mother? Well, I would hate to see kristina or blaze dragged through the mud. I mean, that would be painful to see. On the other hand, i didn’t raise a shrinking violet, and I’m pretty certain you didn’t either. So I’m confident that they’d be able to weather whatever came at them. Well, that’s very supportive and sane… albeit a little idealistic, because I’m just more of a pragmatist, and I can’t help but recognize that the fallout for alison would be a lot different than for kristina. Hmm. How so? Isn’t it obvious? Alison is a star with a huge fan base and following, and kristina is — is a bartender.

If you have an issue with blaze’s public persona, then that is something you should probably take up with your daughter. I don’t really see how I can help you. Please, please, don’t misunderstand. I’m not disparaging kristina in any way. Natalia… I want to thank you so much for coming by, but I run a newspaper here and I’m getting a lot of calls coming in while we’re having this conversation. You never know what it’s gonna be breaking news. Of course. Again, thank you so much. I appreciate you stopping by. Well, I’m really glad we got a chance to finally meet and… yes. It’s always good to put a face to the person. Yeah. Well, have a nice day. Yeah. Diane, how dare you not be there when I need to vent? I just met blaze’s mother. And it wasn’t pretty. Kristina is doing something incredibly generous for us. She’s giving up nine months of her life to give us a child. The least we can do is not police her every move. I don’t like how you’re making me out to be some kind of control freak. Oh, what else would you call the constant questioning about what she eats, how much she’s sleeping, whether she can see her father until after her delivery date? Fine. If wanting the best for our baby makes me a control freak, then I will wear that as a badge of pride, molly. Great. Be proud of yourself. Just lay off kristina. Be proud of myself? I don’t think that it is unreasonable to want her to stay physically safe. It is if you drive her away. Then that’s on her. That’s not on me. Look, look, I understand that kristina’s hormonal, but taking off in a huff just because we’re asking questions, molly… I’m a doctor. Yes, but you’re not her doctor. You’re not even the baby’s doctor. If there were concerns, dr. Navarro would have raised them, but she hasn’T. Dr. Navarro is only evaluating kristina based on what she sees in front of her. She’s not factoring in her connection to sonny. And that’s a good thing because kristina has somewhere that she can feel safe and not judged. I’m not judging her. Aren’t you?

[ Sighs ] We’re supposed to be in this together. All three of us. We should have some say in how she is living her life. It’s our baby. I know this. But it is kristina’s life. We cannot monitor her every move. Right. Because she’s your sister. If we’d gone with a surrogate, in a few months from now, we’d have our baby with no strings attached, but now we — mm! No, go on. Say it. Now we’ll never get rid of her?

I love you hey. Not that I’m complaining — mwah — but why did I have to drop everything to come meet you here? I mean, all your text said was, “it’s nothing bad.”

[ Chuckles ] Well, you know, aside from wanting to see my beautiful wife, honey, I have a major decision, and I need you to weigh in. Okay, what kind of decision? Well, the savoy has been doing really well and I’m thinking about diversifying. Oh, like franchise or making it a brand? Yeah… the savoy is unique and I want to keep it that way. But it does involve branding. Drew and I have been talking about him wanting to move aurora into fitness and wellness. And so he’s starting a new division, and he wants me to head that division.

[ Chuckles ] I’m sorry. I guess I just wasn’t expecting anything like that. Wow. We had… yeah, preliminary meeting a few weeks ago. And he just now confirmed that they’re moving on, and they want me in charge. Babe… this is the kind of opportunity that only happens once. What do you think? Should I go for it? Okay. You want willow to go public with her medical history. I don’t know if that’s a great idea. She’d be talking about her leukemia and her lifesaving transplant. That could help a lot of people. And aurora is involved with this why? Wait, you think I’m making money off of this? You’re wrong. No, I’m working with a nonprofit who finds donor matches for stem cells and bone marrow. Willow’s story is so inspirational. She’d make such a great spokesperson. She could jump-start the whole project. And you presented all of this to willow like that? Absolutely. And I made it very clear that ultimately the decision’s up to her. Okay, I can’t ask for more than that. Thank you. By the way, I have rescheduled my interview with congressman mcconkey for this afternoon if you’re still interested in tagging along. I am. And not as your chauffeur. I’d like to meet him, and I’d like to have the chance to talk to him. That’s what I’m offering. And why so accommodating all of a sudden? What’s in it for you, nina?

I appreciate you, I mean, for including me. Um, but I’m not sure. You know, the savoy was your dream. But you seem really excited about this new endeavor. So I don’t really know if i should influence you either way. Honey, I’d still love your opinion. Okay. Well, you’re just now finally recovering, right? You’re literally getting back on your feet. And between the club and aurora, I just think you’re taking on way too much way too soon. Honey, the club doesn’t need my full-time attention anymore. My club, the savoy, it survived for months after I was shot and in recovery. I’m lucky to have great staff. N’neka is an absolute rock star. And I’ve been getting great help from my dad, chatting it up with the crowd and the musicians. Yeah… you know how much he loves that. Yeah. That’s what I’m saying. That’s kind of my point. The savoy, that was your dream, and you feel comfortable leaving it in other people’s hands? Well, honey, it’s not like I’m never gonna step foot in that place again. But you’ll have to split your time between the club and aurora. Okay. I will build time in my schedule to make sure that the savoy remains on track. You think selina wu is gonna respect your schedule? Because I think that she still wants to take the savoy. And what if she uses your absence to make her move? My social media blew up after I was on “h&H.” Blew up. Okay. Well, cyber buddies, and heart emojis don’t translate into cold, hard cash. And speaking of cold, hard cash, when you were on camera, we were way under our minimum of 300 units per minute. But as soon as sasha stepped in, we were hitting 650 per minute and on our way to selling out. Mm. Well, that’s because I laid the foundation, and my audience just waited until I was off the screen to start buying. That doesn’t make any sense. Why would your fans wait until you were finished to buy the product? Obviously, because they were enthralled, spellbound by my narrative. I mean, it’s a pretty incredible story, my long, hard road to my success. They listened. Okay. All right. Let’s say there are 1,000 diehard lucy fans who were hanging on your every word. There were 10,000 audience members who were waiting to change the channel until sasha stepped in and saved your bacon. Oh! So you’re giving sasha credit for all my sales?! They were my sales. Tell her. Tell her. Tell her. They were my sales. It was me. Tell her! Uh, humma, humma, humma, lucy. Don’t do that! Don’t “humma, humma, lucy” nothing! Listen to me. You were there. You felt the positive energy in the room. I had all those people eating out of the palm of my hand. They couldn’t wait — couldn’t wait to buy. Well, actually, lucy, they did wait. They waited until sasha showed up. Moll… I would never want to get rid of kristina. That is impossible. That’s your sister. My only problem is all the baggage that comes with her. Look, believe it or not, I understand your concerns. Sonny being kristina’s father and the fact that I might end up prosecuting him — do you know how much I am dreading that possibility? Probably as much as I dread the idea of our child’s biological grandfather being a mob boss.

[ Sighs ] But it’s not all about sonny. I have my concerns with kristina, too. Look, you know I had my hesitations at first. But kristina and i came to an understanding, and I thought that you did, too. That’s why we accepted her offer to be our surrogate, and she genuinely wants to help. She has said from the very beginning that she will be aunt kristina to our child, the same way that she is to danny and scout. But she didn’t carry and give birth to danny and scout. There’s a big difference. How long before she’s second-guessing us, judging our parenting styles, inserting herself into our lives, molly? Kristina has her own life. She has two jobs and a new girlfriend. Mm-hmm. You don’t think that can change with her being pregnant? Okay, of course she will reach a point when she’s go to slow down and… I am talking about her, molly. Everyone, everyone keeps telling me what a beautiful gift it is that kristina is giving us, but that gift comes with a cost. Kristina is more than a surrogate. She is biologically and emotionally invested. Just tell me… you can see how potentially difficult this is. I understand. But I am still choosing to be hopeful. I have seen kristina really come into her own these last few years. She’s changed, tj. For the better. I guess we’ll see. We have no choice at this point.

[ Door opens, footsteps approaching ] Mom. Hi. What brings you here? Um, to see my mom. Oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh. What’s going on here? Are you okay? Huh? I just — I don’t know. I came from molly and tj’s place, and apparently, I’m doing this entire pregnancy wrong. I mean, the wrong diet, the wrong sleep schedule, the wrong — the wrong everything. Oh, honey, it can’t be that bad. No, it is that bad. It’s worse, actually. They think that dad is a physical danger, and they want me to keep my distance from him. I’m sorry, but I’m not gonna do that. I’m not gonna abandon my dad, especially not now. Especially when he needs me. He is pushing everyone away from him. Everyone except for ava… okay. …Who is camped out in his living room. Got it. And [Groans] Breathe. Inhale.

[ Breathes deeply ] Good. All right. Have a seat.

[ Groans ] You’re going through a lot, all right, internally, externally. The hormones are working, they’re working for the baby, and they’re working for your hair, I might add, right? And you’re emotional. Tj and molly are also emotional. Okay? I’m sure you meant well. Would you like me to talk to them? Yes, I would. I mean, I — oh! Oh! Oh. Oh! Guess who just woke up. The baby. Ohh! This baby can really stretch out, and then pow! That’s what they do. Oh, as I’ve heard. Mm. My baby has a real kick.

[ Breathes sharply ] Oooh!

Whoa! Whoa. See? You weren’t kidding. Wow. It’s funny. It was so nice when it was the little butterfly flutters. Now it’s a totally different ball game. More like a soccer game. Mm-hmm. You know, you were just like that. You kicked so hard. I thought you were gonna leave bruises. Really? Maybe the baby takes after me. It’s a little late for buyer’s remorse. We made the decision to trust my sister, and I, for one, intend to do that. I’ve got to go. I’ve got a deposition. Molly, come here. I don’t want to fight. Okay, it’s just you and me, right? I want this to be the best thing that has ever happened to us. Me too. You and me, and baby makes three, right? If you want one of the cupcakes, you’d better get to the break room because they’re going fast. And amy said to be sure and thank your son. What a sweetheart. Aww. Thanks. I will. Mm-hmm.

[ Sighs ] Hi. Um, may I have the counselor’s office, please? This is aiden webber’s mom. I need to make an appointment. Lucy, I’m sorry, but the numbers don’t lie. Lucy, I know you give deception your all. Maybe at times too much of your all. But I’m not trying to minimize your commitment to deception or your accomplishments. I’m just trying to remind you that deception is not only yours. It’s not only mine, or brook lynn’s, or sasha’s, or tracy’s, for that matter. We’re all rooting for it to succeed, but in order to gain success, we have to sell, and you are the wrong salesperson. Okay. Okay. Okay. Um, but what you’re forgetting is, we don’t have sasha, and blaze’s uber-controlling mommy won’t let blaze pitch. Right. So I’m all we’ve got. There is nobody else. Well, there is one other person. There’ll be no more threats from selina wu. I got it handled. Well, I guess… the only real decision now is where you’re gonna split your time and your focus. Because this is gonna be a major project. No question. And require travel. Honey, I’m in charge. I can set my own schedule.

[ Sighs ] Are there any more objections? There’s just one that I can think of. Baby, I’m gonna miss you. I really enjoyed you being home, you know? Having you all to myself. And I don’t want to be away too often or too far from you, either. But, baby, I believe in this project. I know — I know I can make it happen. And in the process build something lasting that I — that I can be proud of. How could I say no to that? It looks like you’ve made your decision. Let’s just say there’s a little something in it for everybody. You get access to congressman mcconkey, and I get access to my daughter. I see. Quid pro quo. You give something to get something. Makes more sense than us trying to sabotage each other. So you want to cooperate. But cooperation takes trust. Well, I trust you to see your advantage in all of this. I can definitely see that.

[ Cellphone rings ] Curtis. Drew. I hope I’m not interrupting. Absolutely not. I’ve always got time for you. Thanks, man. Look, I, um — I reviewed your offer. And? Are we doing this? I’m in.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, yes. I finally got the all clear from Kayla. Not a trace of radiation left in my system. None at all. Yes, it’s a big relief. I adore you too, Abraham. See you tonight.

Judd. Hello. Mayor Price. What, what brings you here? Did we have an appointment? Uh, no. Actually, I, I just, uh, was passing through and thought I’d take a chance on, uh, meeting with you. But, uh, now’s not a good time, honestly. I could come back. It’s fine, fine. I got a few minutes. Please, please. Sit down. So what can I do for you?

Um, I got a tip from someone and, uh, and I wanted to discuss it with you. Okay.

Look, this person claims that you abused your power as mayor and, um, put the public health at risk. Excuse me, abused my power. So, where did you get this tip, Chad? Who in the hell told you that?

Everett, you’re safe. You’re safe

right now. Nobody’s going to hurt you. No. I’m not. I’m not safe.

Hello, Everett. Dr. Evans. Good to see you. You too. Would you mind if I join you? You know what, um, I’m just, I’m finishing up an article, so I’m, I’m a little busy. Well, it won’t take long. Okay, sit right down.

Last time we spoke You said you did not want to continue hypnosis. Yes, that’s correct. And did you change your mind? No.

Why did you lie to Stephanie?

Closed.

Stephanie, I am so sorry. I’m late. No problem. Is everything okay? Yeah. Yeah. I just slept through my alarm this morning and I was the only one on the schedule to open. Hey. You’re here now. Okay. Only because I drove like a bat out of hell to get her here. Aww. Okay, um, I can’t even believe that I slept through my alarm, but whatever you want, I will give you a discount, okay?

Why? Why? I was only here two minutes. I just wanted to pick up some pastries for a prospective client. Oh, they’re not for you. No. No. I already had breakfast at my mom and dad’s. We had a little farewell gathering for Tripp and Wendy. Okay. Okay. I had to leave early, unfortunately. And they’re, uh, they’re already about two hours into their flight.

A flight? Where? What are you talking about? Constantine.

And since you’re here, I assume You assumed correctly. Uh, Kayla has given me the all clear and no more isolation and no radiation in my system. Oh, Julie. Oh, that’s such a relief. Oh, more than a relief. I’m, I’m, I’m elated. And Doug is elated, too, and he’s been very clingy today. Well, I could imagine. Well, I’ve been clinging myself.

Maggie, I feel so guilty that I, that I didn’t go to the cabin with him. I thought I would just be away for one night and it turned out, because of radiation, to be days and days and, you know, at this time of our lives. Every day together is so precious. Well, we took good care of him when you went around.

Yes, he told me. He said you were great, and I thank you so much. Well listen, the isolation, it didn’t drive you stir crazy? No, and in that beautiful guest house that you arranged for me? No, I read a lot and I meditated and And I really tried to figure out how to open grandpa’s time capsule, but To no avail.

Oh no, how frustrating. Yeah, frustrating. And I just know that my grandparents are having a good chuckle over my distress. Yes, I’m sure they are. Well, now that you’re back, I have some news for you, Julie. Ah, I’m listening. Well, before word gets out, I wanted to tell you myself. Constantine and I are getting married.

There

Now listen closely to every word I say, because I have an extremely important mission for you. What’s my mission? Magi, Kiriakos, and I are engaged to be married, but there is just one problem. And you, my obedient pawn, need to serve it.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

I thought you knew. Trip and Wendy decided to spend some time with Wendy’s family in Hong Kong. No, no, didn’t even know they were thinking about it. Um, when are they coming back? I’m not sure. I think it’s kind of open ended. Wow, uh, I can’t believe Wendy would have left without saying goodbye. Stephanie, uh, you can help yourself to whatever you want.

Everything is on me. Why? I, I, Chanel, I only got here two minutes ago, okay? I’m happy to pay for my pastries. How about you just grab what you want and then we can argue about it after. No arguments.

Johnny, would you help me set up a display table? I wanted to give out some cookies to the kids for May Day. Um, and I know it’s kind of old fashioned, but Everything okay? Huh? Are you okay? Uh, yeah, yeah, no, I’m fine. What’d you say you needed?

So, Uh, Did you get this tip from your D. A. brother? Because it happens to be almost exactly what came out of his mouth yesterday. Did E. J. ask you to publish a hit piece on me? I haven’t spoken to him in quite some time. You sure he didn’t send you an email about it then? A text? Look, Mary Price, I came to see you because I wanted to get ahead of the gossip and find out what really happened at Smith Island.

What really happened was there was a snowstorm and my daughter went missing. And you left the hospital against your doctor’s advice and illegally commandeered a snowplow to try to find her.

Mayor Price, I, I would like to get your side of the story. On the record. If we can do that.

You say you have a problem you need me to solve. I do. You see, Maggie Kiriakis is marrying me in name only. Well that I can live with. But she also wants to keep me from getting what I came to Salem for. I do. Victor’s fortune. And that I cannot live with. So what do you need me for?

Look, I, um I know Stephanie’s a huge fan of yours, so I didn’t want to make you out to be a quack in front of her. A quack? A quack. I know that must sound harsh, but, I mean, you must know, uh, hypnosis is a pseudoscience. It’s, it’s barely a step up from a carnival act, in my opinion. Besides which, uh, the divorce papers that I’ve been so relentlessly pursued to sign are now signed.

So the court is cut from Jada and I’m ready to move on with my life. Well, I’m glad about that for you. And, uh, in spite of your disdain for hypnosis, I think you would still benefit from therapy. And if you don’t want to continue seeing me, a quack, as you say, you might want to find a different therapist.

Thank you for the recommendation. Um, I take it to heart, but I don’t think I’ll be continuing therapy with you or with anyone else. As I said, I’m ready to move on, so if you’ll excuse me. Chad,

wherever, whoever you got this tip from, I can guarantee you it’s, it’s all been blown out of proportion. Really? Because I heard the firefighters had to wear hazmat suits to protect themselves from the dangers of the radiation. Because they were ill informed. It was an overreaction. Look, Mayor Price, I’ve checked it out.

Okay, I know the facts. I know that you were warned against the risks of being in close proximity with people before your numbers were down. They weren’t down. The firefighters checked it out too. You were in a hazmat suit when they transported you back. My numbers were going down. I felt the risk was minimal.

Okay, then why didn’t you notify anyone you were leaving the hospital?

I got quotes from the public works guy, too, who you strong armed the snowplow from. I mean, where’d you even learn to drive a snowplow? I used to own a construction company in Miami. I learned how to drive heavy equipment. Driving a snow plow is no different than driving a bulldozer.

So then you don’t deny that it happened.

Constantine has lost so much in his life. And he’s told me so many times how it’s been a tremendous comfort for him to stay in Salem. And, you know, for me, his presence, it’s a comfort to me. I know that, yes. Um, well, Julie, he can’t stay in this country unless he becomes a citizen through marriage. So, I decided to make that happen for him.

You probably think I’m crazy. No, no. I don’t think you’re crazy. I think it is, uh, an example of your enormous generosity. You want to help the man. Julie, thank you for understanding. Well, I know that you have thought this through. You know what you want. You know what you need. I do. And I think it’s a positive thing for me.

Cool. To have Konstantin stay here, his, his friendship and, and companionship.

Yes, of course. I just,

I hope you’re going to protect yourself going into this marriage, Maggie. I assume you mean financially. Yes. Yes, I am. Um, I knew it was wise for me to have a prenup. He signed it immediately. No resistance at all. He knows if I, um, predecease him, that the entire Kiriakis fortune goes to Victor’s children.

You have been very wise, and I support you in this decision completely. Oh, Julie. Thank you so much for understanding. And for your friendship. Oh. My future wife insisted that I sign a prenuptial agreement. She locked it in the wall safe in the study of the Kiriakis mansion. I need you to break into that safe and steal that prenup.

Ask who it is. Who is it? John, it’s me. Is everything okay? Tell her everything is just fine. Everything is just fine. Why is the door locked?

Look, Chad, I know there are a few malcontents out there who are Eager to slander me. Mainly D. A. DiMera, since I called him out on his questionable behavior. I’m sorry, but this isn’t about D. A. DiMera or, or anyone else trying to be vindictive. Mayor Price, no one is eager to slander you. The fact is, the fact is, is that you left the hospital against medical advice and you, and you hijacked a snowplow.

Now someone could have been seriously hurt. I know you say you have experience, uh, uh, uh, on how to operate, you know, that kind of vehicle, but you were in no shape to do so at that time. Not to mention, you don’t have a license. Okay. And there was no guarantee you were going to find Chanel. Mayor Price, you could have been seriously hurt.

Or died trying to find her. But it didn’t turn out that way, did it? Chanel is safe and I’m doing just fine. And for that, we are all very relieved. And grateful. But come on, Mayor Price. You know that it’s dangerous to be in close proximity to people while, while, while radioactive. You know how risky that is.

Chad, there is not a parent in the world who would not have done the same thing that I did, and you know it. Now, what if a What if it were your children that were missing? Wouldn’t you, wouldn’t you have gone to any lengths to try to find them? Empress, it’s not a fair question. It’s only not fair because you know very well you would do the exact same thing I did, regardless of whether or not you put others at risk.

Very minimal risk. Minimal? Are you sure about that?

In the end, no one was affected by my being in close proximity to them. Julie, Johnny, or Chanel, everyone is doing just fine. So, if you want to write a fair and balanced article about all this, why don’t you ask my daughter Chanel if she’d rather been left to freeze to death in that snow?

Hey, I, um, I wanted to ask you, uh, since you’re probably gonna be too busy to go apartment hunting today, did you want me to go ahead, scope some stuff out, or you wanna wait till we can both go together? Oh! Uh, sure, if you want to go alone, then, yeah, you could do that. I, I’m exhausted, and, um, if you wanted to do some of the legwork on your own, then, um, that would be awesome.

Okay, then, that’s what I will do. Oh, I gotta say, it’s always just a little awkward. When the leasing agent asks about employment, you know, trust fund 20 something isn’t exactly an occupation. Oh, stop. They don’t care how you get the money as long as you have it and you can pay the rent. And plus the bakery is doing really good right now, so we’re good.

Yeah, I don’t know. Maybe I just, I’ve kind of been thinking maybe I should have given my dad’s offer a little more thought. What? No. Working for DiMera Enterprises has never been your dream. Yeah, I know, but I should probably have some kind of job, right? Okay, then pursue what actually is your dream. You’ve always wanted to make movies.

Yeah, I have, but there’s no opportunities for things like that in Salem. I mean, I need to be in L. A., you know, or New York. And I would never ask you to leave your mom or your bakery. You should know your whole life is here. My whole life is here. You sure about that? Yeah, of course I am. Hey, I know

you got a lot going on these days, but what was with your 180 earlier? Excuse me? You wouldn’t give me the time of day outside, and then you were all Mr. Friendly when I came in. What’s up with that? I, um, I didn’t know I did that. Maybe I was distracted. Seemed you were evasive with Jada, too. I mean, you signed the divorce paper, so why don’t you give them to her and be done with it?

Did you change your mind or something? Sorry. Um, I gotta go.

Hey there. Hey. Hey. Chat around? I have something I wanted to drop off for Thomas and Charlotte. Ah, right. Um, no. She’s, uh, took off out of here to do an interview. I’m writing an article about May Day, which is as fascinating as it sounds. That explains the mood. I have rewritten the first paragraph like 28 times.

It’s brilliant. That sucks. But I’m kind of glad that that’s why you’re in a bad mood. I was worried it might have something to do with you giving Jayda the signed divorce papers. I don’t know. No. No. It’s, uh, nothing to do with that. Jada was relieved. Obviously.

I, I assume you are too?

John?

Hi there. Why was the door locked? I didn’t know it was. Oh, uh, so am I interrupting something?

No, we were just, uh, I came by to invite you and John to my wedding. Your wedding? Oh, Maggie has not told you? No. No, she hasn’t said a word. Well, then that is my fault. I am sorry. Would you mind when Maggie does invite you that you pretend this is the first time you’re hearing it? No, I wouldn’t mind that, actually.

But I, uh, I mean, I can’t imagine that she wouldn’t mind you telling us.

Well, excuse me. I should be going. I will be in touch.

A wedding? My God, what is Maggie thinking? John, what did he say? Well, he, he said that, um, I don’t know. You don’t know? How can you not know? He, he was just here. Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t. This is just so strange. I think he, he said something. About Maggie, I can’t remember exactly. Did he talk about anything else?

No. No, at least I, I don’t think he did not. Yes. Yes, I remember that we were both talking. What the? I can’t recall when we were talking about it, damn it all. This isn’t the first time this has happened. What do you mean? It just hit me a couple of weeks ago when I met Constantine in the park. The exact same thing happened.

Oh my god. Doc, what the hell is going on with me, honey? That’s a very good question.

You, you are totally right. You’re totally right. Why, why would I have misgivings about divorcing Jada? You know, I don’t even know the woman. I want nothing to do with her. I think the only reason that I was hesitant to sign those papers is, it’s because it seemed like it would be forgery, you know, just to sign as, as Robert Stein.

No, I, I know. I know that. But thanks to you, I, I got over that, that reluctance. I’m glad that you did. For Jada’s sake. And yours. Yeah. I’m glad I did too. You really helped me realize that I needed to do that in order to put all this behind me. It’s great.

Hi. Hey, Chad. Um, I have something for the kids. That’s why, that’s why I’m here. Oh, that’s very sweet. Uh, Everett said that you were doing an interview? Yes, I am. Uh, I just came by to grab this. Oh. Um, I’m not sure if it’s going to pan out, but if it does, I’ll loop you in. Okay. Well, um, here. I passed by a toy store and I couldn’t resist.

Just another teddy bear for Charlotte and some action figures for Thomas. Oh, look, it really doesn’t matter what it is because, you know, if it comes from you, they’re gonna love it. Uh, well, I’m gonna run home and grab lunch before my next interview and, uh, Oh, um, Thomas keeps asking when you’re gonna come over and play cards.

Oh, tell him soon. I’d love to see Charlotte too. Yeah. This weekend? Sure, just let me know. Uh, I’ll reach out to you later? Yeah. Everett,

before Chad came in, you were talking about putting it all behind you. Yeah. What exactly did you mean by that? I mean exactly that. I think it’s time to forget about Bobby Stein and Move on with my life. Haha. Hmm. Yes, it is. How are you?

How are you, sweetie? Um, you know what? I am grateful to be indoors, and I think I might have sprained my ankle. Oh, oh, I’m sorry about the ankle, but this is such a relief. Who found you? She was stuck out by that big rock area. Yeah. I was headed there when I saw the snowplow, Paulina. I drove it across the bridge to rescue Chanel.

Told you I was gonna find my girl. Well, well, we’re all very grateful, I’m sure, but you should have stayed in isolation. Yeah, I know, I know, I’m still radioactive, but I just Paulina! You exposed all of us! I just hope to God you haven’t done more harm than good.

Oh, how are two of my very favorite people doing on this fine day? Hi, Mama. Hey, baby. Paulina, you’re looking great. Oh, thank you. Thank you, Paula. Feeling great, too. Um, and well, um, I do have a favor to ask of my new son in law. Well, you just go ahead and name it. Um, the spectator has been sniffing around, um, my office asking about my leaving isolation at the hospital and going to Smith Island.

And after the disagreement, the DA and I had last night. Uh, I have no doubt he’s behind it. You’re talking about my dad? Yes, I am. And, well, Johnny, you know, I don’t want to put you in an uncomfortable position. Uh, but um, I think your papa’s out to get me. What do you think you can do to help? Ah, Julie! What a pleasant surprise!

Released from isolation, huh? Yes, I am, and I understand congratulations are in order. Maggie told you that we are engaged to be married, huh? Yes, she did, and I’m very happy for you that you will get to stay in this country, and happy for Maggie, because I know how much she enjoys your company. Not as much as I enjoy hers.

So, when is this big day? Oh, well, that’s something we’re still discussing. I see. Okay, well, I’m sure when you know, I will know. We will. And if you two will excuse me now, I’ve got to get some breakfast for Doug and myself. Yes, see you later, Judith. Yes, see you later. Yes, you will.

You changed your shirt. Oh, I’m always spilling coffee. Something tells me that Julie is concerned about this marriage. Well, actually, she was very supportive of my decision. I hope you told her about the prenup because I want her to know that all I want is to be here in Salem close to you and nothing more.

I told her about the prenup, yes. And that your lease expires at the end of the month. Well, I suppose that means we should tie the knot as soon as possible, yes? Don’t worry. I’m not going to let the deadline pass. I’ll make sure you don’t have to leave Salem.

I suspect that when you’re with Constantine, a part of you shuts down. It’s a way of trying to, well, forget the memories of what he put you through. Your subconscious is trying to Protect itself. So you think that’s why I can’t remember any of my conversation with him just now? Well, I think that’s one explanation, but But not the only one, right?

So you had a disagreement with my dad last night? That’s putting it mildly. And then, um, his brother, your Uncle Chad, shows up at my office this morning asking all these questions and twisting around what actually happened. And it, it sounded almost exactly like what your father said to me last night.

Paulina, I’m so sorry. Yeah, me too, Mama. And as I said, Johnny, I, you know, I hate putting you in the middle of all of this. Um, but, uh, Could you possibly put in a, a good word for me with, you know, with Chad? Yeah, of course. I will. I will. I will. I’ll, uh, I will. Thank you. Thank you, honey. And you know, tell him how I saved Chanel and I told, how I told everybody to stay away from me.

And I was trying to be as responsible as possible. You both know that, don’t you? Yeah, yeah, of course. I, uh, I, Hey, man. Everything okay? Yeah, I just suddenly feltqueasy. Oh, man.

Chad! Hey, there. Oh, hey. Nice to see you, Chubb. Yes, um, you too. Uh, I just came by to drop off some gifts that Stephanie got for the kids and, uh, I don’t know, grab a little bite to eat. Oh, well, cook. He made a marvelous chicken pot pie. And I’m sure there’s some left. Yeah? Yeah. Uh, I meant to ask you, did you, did you Final thing that you were looking for?

Oh, yes, I did. Thank you very much. Well, I know that you were really shaken up about it. You know, actually, it was a playing card that Constantine misplaced. And the reason I was shaken up is because it was symbolic of something that was It is too complicated to get into now, but suffice to say, it reminded me of my daughter, who I lost, as you know.

Yeah, I know. Well, I’m uh, really glad you found your card. Okay, see you later. Okay, enjoy the pot pie.

But Everett, you still don’t really understand what happened in your past. There are still so many unanswered questions. About Bobby Stein, your marriage to Jada. I just, I don’t want to talk about that anymore. I’m tired of deep diving the past looking for answers that frankly may or may not exist. I think it’s a waste of precious time.

Honestly. How can it be a waste of time? I mean, don’t you have to understand your past to be able to live fully now? I don’t know. Do you? I feel like that could just be a bunch of psychobabble. You know what I mean? I feel perfectly capable of living my life now, knowing what I know. And I feel fine. You can’t live your life in the past.

You’ve got to be in the here and now. Carpe diem, baby. Okay, those are, those are helpful bromides, Everett. But in your case? I know. My case is Complicated. Obviously, it’s complicated. I know that. I totally know that. But I really feel like I’m, I feel like I’m turning this corner right now. No more ruminating about things that may or may not have happened in the past that don’t have anything to do with my life right now.

No more being shrunk. It’s a waste of time, like I said. Really? A waste of time? Well, Dr. Evans must agree. In my case, because she actually discharged me from therapy.

Everett, why would you be discharged from therapy? I thought you were making progress. I was. And now I just I think I’ve gotten everything I could possibly get out of my sessions with Dr. Evans. You know, the fact of the matter is I might. Never get access to those memories that she was trying so hard for me to access.

So, she and I agreed that the best use of my time, and hers, would be for me to focus on the here and the now. Moving forward. I see. I think I told you this before, but After the accident, after I regained consciousness, the specialists all told me that my memories over the past few years Might be permanently erased.

So I, I’ve just learned to live with that. You’re making progress. Like I said. Until you freaked out during hypnosis. Yeah, well Marlena said that that’s actually pretty common. To freak out, um, during hypnosis. That happens to a lot of people. And actually she considered it a breakthrough. Of sorts. So, I know, it’s crazy, but I trust your judgment.

Honestly, I’m excited. I’m excited to start making new memories. Hopefully with you.

So, is there any news on when we can go home? Well, I was able to get a hold of the contractor and he said everything’s going beautifully. Wouldn’t it be wonderful when we can go home again? Oh, it’s going to be amazing. Um, I have to go to an appointment, but I was hoping I could ask you about your experience at the cabin, if you have time.

Oh, of course I do ask away. Well, um, how do you feel about Mayor Price exposing you to radiation? Um, I understand completely her compulsion to find her missing daughter. And I’m still very upset that everybody had to go into days and days of isolation because of her rash behavior. She is the mayor of the town.

I would think she should be protecting her people rather than putting their lives at risk. Right. So then you do feel like she put your lives at risk? It’s not a feeling, darling. It’s what happened. Because she did not stay in her isolation room at the hospital, Chanel and Johnny and I all could have become very ill.

I just thank God that we didn’t.

Hey, is uh, everything okay? Uh, yeah, uh, not, not really, but I’m not feeling well. Oh, honey, uh, can I get you anything? Water? Juice? Oh, uh, no, um, I already called Lauren. She’s gonna come in. She lives about five minutes away, so she should be here soon. You know, you were tired yesterday and this morning. Yeah, well, there’s stuff going around.

I know there is, but look, I don’t mean to scare you. It’s just Kayla said we should look out for any symptoms of radiation poisoning, like fatigue. Oh, no. Oh, my God, Janelle. Okay, Mama, Mama, it’s okay. It’s okay. No, no, no, it’s not, it’s not okay. Not if you’re feeling sick. No, I, I think we should just, let’s get you to the hospital right away.

Get you checked out. No, please, please, please, no. I just want to get some rest and then we’ll see how I’m feeling tomorrow morning. No, no, we are not playing around with this. Now, let’s get you checked. Alright, I’m gonna pull the car around, okay? Alright. Something’s not right here, Doc. I don’t know what the hell it is, but I’m

glad you showed up when you did. How do you feel right now? Not good. Disoriented. Yeah. Okay. Let’s get you home.

It was not meant to be. Not today.

But don’t worry. I will get what I want. Next time.

Finn: Mom, mom, it’s me. It’s finn. Can you hear me? Mom, can you hear me? Mom?

Deacon: Finn, is she alive?. Finn!

Steffy: Hey, babe. Just, uh, checking in, seeing if you are okay. Just been feeling a little uneasy after everything. All right, call me when you can. I miss hearing your voice. I love you.

[ Hope clears throat ] Hope, hey.

Hope: Everything all right?

Steffy: Yeah, I– I hope so.

Hope: Can’t get a hold of finn?

Steffy: He’s not picking up.

Hope: Hm, I’m sure he’s probably with a patient.

Steffy: Probably. Yeah.

Waitress: Wanna settle the bill?

Liam: Uh, no, thank you. Actually, I think I’m gonna be adding to it in a moment.

Waitress: Somebody else joining you?

Liam: Yeah, yeah. Somebody pretty special. Actually, somebody I haven’t seen in a really long… long time. There she is. Oh, my god. It’s been so long, ivy.

Ivy: Too long.

Ivy: Well, thank you for meeting me.

Liam: Uh, yeah, of course.

Liam: You know, I really wasn’t sure if you’d be interested.

Liam: Uh, come on. Come on.

Ivy: I’m just– I’m being– I’m being vulnerable, here.

Liam: So, um, what are you– what are you doing in L.A.?

Ivy: Well, not L.A. Exactly. I’m just passing through. But I made sure I scheduled an insanely long layover so i could spend a little time with my uncle eric.

Liam: Oh, my god, he must’ve been so thrilled to see you.

Ivy: Mm-hmm, yeah, he’s already tried convincing me to move back. He actually said there’s a huge void in the, uh, in the jewelry department.

Liam: Uh, yeah, there is and he should be offering you, like, a bazillion dollar contract.

Ivy: Oh, a bazillion?

Liam: Bazillion.

Ivy: Well, we didn’t get that far in the negotiations.

Liam: Ah, shame.

Ivy: Honestly, I’m just so happy to see him doing better and he just looks so healthy.

Liam: Yeah, it is. It’s a– it’s a huge relief.

Ivy: Mm-hmm.

Liam: What’s your secret?

Ivy: Well, what do you mean?

Liam: You just look so happy and beautiful.

Steffy: Yeah, I’m sure you’re right. I know when it gets crazy here, I can’t even pick up the phone and I’m not even saving lives, so.

Hope: I’m sure he’ll be in touch when he can.

Steffy: I know.

Hope: I mean, you– you have to admit, though, I mean, it must be a nice feeling, right?

Steffy: What?

Hope: Just knowing that a lot of people rely on your husband. You know, whatever he’s up to, I’m sure he is making a really big difference in someone’s life.

Steffy: Yeah, I know he is. He’s always dealing with a life or death situation.

Hope: Yeah, so, whoever is in finn’s care, they’re in capable and caring hands.

Deacon: Tell me we’re not too late. Finn, her eyes. Look at her eyes.

Finn: Mom. Mom, it’s me. It’s finn. It’s finn. You’re alive. You’re alive.

Ivy: You know, sometimes I do think about moving back to L.A. I did love it here.

Liam: Great, it’s settled. No take-backs.

Ivy: Yeah. Wait, what are you doing?

Liam: I’m, uh, calling your uncle eric. I wanna tell him to give you a corner office–

Ivy: No, no, no, please don’T.

Ivy: Uh, no one knows better how busy I am than eric, okay? There’s– my life is very, very busy in sydney. Too much to walk away from. But, you know, we’ll see. Never say never. Anyway, enough about me. How are you doing?

Liam: Uh, you– you know, I’m hanging in there.

Ivy: Yeah. Yeah, I was– I was sorry to hear about you and hope.

Liam: Uh, thanks. It’s okay. You know, it’s, um, it wasn’t easy to go through, but I think there are good things on the horizon. I mean, I’m– I’m– I’m, uh, concentrating on my work and– and my kids and, um, you know, who knows, maybe it’ll– it’s just preparing me for the next thing.

Ivy: Maybe someone from the past, even. After all, I did hear that, uh, that thomas left hope.

Liam: Uh, yeah, I can confirm that is true.

Ivy: And that benefits you, maybe. Do you see yourself going back to hope?

Steffy: Babe? Breakfast. You hungry?

Finn: Oh, um, no, I’m good. I’ll just– I’ll grab something later.

Steffy: Hey, you were like this last night. Quiet, distracted. Is it a work thing? You wanna bounce ideas off of me?

Finn: Thanks. I, um, right now I have more questions than answers, but hopefully that’ll change soon and when it does, you’ll be the first to know.

Hope: Sorry about that. There was a bit of a holdup at customs. So, any other questions?

Steffy: No, I think we are good. Everything looks on target. Um… actually, I do have one more question. Uh, how you doing?

Hope: You don’t mean with hope for the future, do you? You mean…

Steffy: You. How are you doing?

Hope: Well, it has been a bit of an adjustment since thomas and douglas aren’t in los angeles, but, uh, career-wise, I’m feeling rather positive. I think revamping hope for the future with rj, zende, luna, it’s been a really wonderful thing. So, I’m trying to focus on what I can control. The change has been challenging, but I have to believe that something good will come of it.

Steffy: Well, the line has been incredible. What about you? Have you, uh… I mean, are you seeing anyone?

Hope: Seriously, steffy? Thomas hasn’t been gone that long. Wait. What, are you hoping that liam and I get back together?

Deacon: You’re gonna be fine, baby. Just fine. Finn’s gonna take real good care of you. Oh, my god.

Finn: What?

Deacon: The chain. Any suggestions?

Sheila: Help me. Help me. Help me. Entresto is the #1 heart failure brand Harry & david makes mother’s day easy. Share a gift, made with love, with the mom in your life. Choose from hundreds of stunning baskets and towers. It’s the perfect way to say thank you – for everything. Harry & david. Life is a gift. Share more.

Liam: Oof, uh… could I see myself back with hope?

Ivy: Well, it– it seems like she’s available again.

Liam: Yeah, but I– I– I don’t think either of us are in a place where we wanna jump back in. Or just– how about– I– I don’t know. I don’t know what the future holds.

Ivy: Okay. Yeah, that’s fair enough.

Liam: I mean, I’ll– I’ll always care about hope, obviously. We– we have a child together, so there’s that.

Ivy: Yeah, well, like you do with steffy.

Liam: Yeah, no, I’m very, uh, I’m very fortunate that– that each of my girls belong to an incredible woman, um, and– and I’m thankful to hope and steffy just for being so cool about the co-parenting stuff and– and being such great role models to kids.

Ivy: Well, I’m sure they’re thankful for you, too. I mean, I know I would be. Any woman would. Liam, I hope you know that a lot of people think you’re pretty fantastic.

Hope: Yes, liam and I have been spending more time together, but that doesn’t mean that we’re… okay, look, all you need to know is that we have had some much needed conversations. Yeah, thankfully, the anger and resentment on both sides has calmed down a little, or at least it’s starting to, and I’m very, very grateful for that. I think it’s important to move past that, especially for beth’s sake. I want her to see her parents getting along, and I want to have a good relationship with her father.

Steffy: So you gonna make a play for liam?

Hope: You know, steffy, maybe you shouldn’t worry so much about liam and me. Maybe you should focus that energy on finn.

Finn: That’s what we’re gonna do, okay? We’re gonna help you. Are you in any pain? Deacon, we need to get her hydrated. Can you find something?

Deacon: I’m on it.

Finn: Okay. Let’s try to get you up. Okay? Okay, it’s okay. Sip on that, I got you. Take it slow.

Deacon: What’s– what’s wrong with her? Okay, easy girl, okay.

Finn: Okay. Struggling with the highs and lows of bipolar 1?

Liam: Hey, ivy forrester. Um… if I didn’t know any better, I might possibly think that you were almost flirting with me?

Ivy: Oh! Well, there’s no almost about it, actually. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’ll dial it back, I promise.

Liam: No, don’T. Mm-mm, no– no dialing. Don’t dial.

Ivy: I– I’m sorry. I’m not– I’m not trying to be forward. It’s just…

Liam: It’s just what?

Ivy: I, uh, whoo… I, um… I think about you a lot, liam. I haven’t forgotten all of the good times that we’ve shared, and… how close we became. And how close I wish we’d become. You know, I think I remember that most of all. How great it felt kissing you.

Steffy: Okay, well, they’re gonna send over the spring-summer collection, but we’re not gonna be paying additional fees, okay? Wonderful. Thank you. Okay. Where were we? Oh, yes. Finn. My focus is on him, my children and my family.

Hope: Okay. I just mean, you know, whatever happens between liam and me, I mean, it really shouldn’t matter to you, right?

Steffy: He is my daughter’s father.

Hope: I know. I just think in the grand scheme of things, because not really any of your business and you have bigger things to focus on. It’s just you’ve been through so much lately, and I mean, everything that happened with sheila…

Steffy: Yeah, it was extremely challenging. But we can finally put it behind us. Sheila’s gone. She’s dead. She’s never coming back.

Finn: Deacon, we’ve gotta get this off. There’s only so much I can do here.

Deacon: What can we do for her right now?

Finn: She’s malnourished, dehydrated. We need to get her to a hospital. Oh, sheila.

Deacon: Oh, sheila, sheila.

Finn: Sheila, sheila.

Deacon: Give me some more water. Okay, easy. Come on. Okay, come on, come on.

Finn: Slow.

Deacon: Okay. Okay. Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Deacon: There she is. There’s my beautiful girl. Everyone said I was crazy. Hell, I thought I was crazy myself, but I never stopped believing that you were alive.

sleep on the plane, so thank you very much for the first class ticket.

Traci: Mm-hmm. And thank you for coming all the way from paris on short notice to talk to my sister.

Alan: Well, I’m always happy to have a chance to see ashley, but I’m a bit concerned about this one. I was worried about her after I last visited paris.

Traci: So, you did sense that there might be something else wrong?

Alan: Well, at the time, I attributed it to, uh, the emotional turmoil of the breakup of her marriage. But afterwards… I just began to worry that something deeper was brewing.

Traci: Well, I’m afraid we are at full boil.

Diane: Ashley, having a little afternoon pick-me-up?

Ashley: Yes. I thought I would treat myself to something strong and frothy. You know, I love mrs. Martinez to death, but her coffee can be weak.

Diane: Oh, I never thought so. Hm.

Ashley: And yet, here you are.

Diane: Oh, I’m picking up some brownies for harrison. They’re his favorite.

Ashley: Diane, you don’t have to explain yourself to me.

Diane: Huh. How are you feeling?

Ashley: I’m feeling fine. How are you feeling?

Diane: Uh, I’m good, and I’m glad to hear it. You– you’ve had your ups and downs lately. It’s been quite a roller coaster. For jack and traci, too.

Ashley: Yeah. If I didn’t know you so well, that butter wouldn’t melt in your mouth routine might actually work.

Diane: I’m not pretending to be concerned.

Ashley: Oh, don’t be that way. It’s a compliment. Kill ’em with kindness has always been my motto, too.

Michael: Okay. Thanks for the update.

Victor: Have you found anything?

Michael: No sign at all of jordan’s body. They searched the area of the riverbed below the spot you said she fell.

Victor: Michael, please, stop wasting time looking for a dead woman, all right? It is clear what you’d be looking for.

Michael: Victor, if by some chance jordan is still alive, she would be key to the–

Victor: That woman is gone. She’s of no use to us anymore.

Michael: Vict– victor, we have nothing to go on. Jordan’s body could be a clue. An address in her pocket, a number on her phone.

Victor: I am telling you to look for claire. She may well be fighting for her life as we speak.

Cole: How could you possibly recognize these keys?

Victoria: From the colors. Billy had a set just like this. I remember because katie used to play with them all the time.

Cole: Wait, wait you– you think they’re billy’s keys?

Victoria: No, but they could be from the same place. He had, um, he had a storage unit there. I remember. One opened the parking gate and the other one was for the front entrance. And then the other one was for the actual unit. This one says 23. Oh, my god. Is it possible that this is where jordan was holding claire? Type 2 diabetes?

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Michael: Okay. Message received. I’ll pull the team off of the search for jordan’s body and focus solely on other avenues for finding claire. Security cam footage, canvassing. We’ll go old school and door to door with flyers.

Victor: Go get to it, okay?

[ Phone ringing ] Yes, cole. Any update?

Cole: Well, I may have some good news. We found a set of keys that were hidden inside a doll like the ones my mother used to collect. Now, you may recall that nikki mentioned seeing one like it at the lake house. Victoria has seen something about these keys that she recognizes and she thinks that they could belong to a storage facility that billy used to use. She’s tracking down the address right now.

Victor: And do you think this is where jordan may hold claire hostage?

Cole: I hope so. If not, maybe we can at least have a clue.

Victoria: Billy, hi, it’s me. Um, listen, I need the address to that storage facility that you used to use. You– you know, you remember the one where katie used to always play with the keys? Can– yes. Can you text that to me? Okay, thank you. I’ll– I’ll explain later. Okay. Oh, I got it.

Cole: We’re headed there now.

Victor: But listen, be careful. I’ll send backup, all right? Well, I think we may be getting somewhere. It seems that victoria and cole have found a set of keys. Keys to a storage unit. Where perhaps jordan is holding claire hostage.

Michael: Well, hang on. That’s– that’s a lot of assumptions. Uh, jordan rented that motel room under an assumed name. And it was rented to a couple before her. Uh, it could be their keys.

Victor: But they found those keys inside a doll, a similar doll that jordan had at her lake house.

Michael: Okay. So, more likely, it’s connected to her. But it still could be a trap or a misdirect.

Victor: Wait here. I’ll find out.

Michael: Well, where are you going? Victor? Victor!

Traci: I was so worried about ashley while we were in paris. She shared with you the, um, argument she had with her ex-husband at the cafe?

Alan: With tucker, yes, his explosion. And then the visit you two made there. At first, she thought the staff was paid off to back up his version of the story.

Traci: Yeah, that was the theory. Obviously, it turned out to be wrong. And then she had to accept that she misremembered the whole argument. That she exaggerated his anger and the violence.

Alan: Yeah, she came to see me that visit. And obviously, it upset her quite a bit, realizing that what she recalled and reality were two different things.

Traci: Yeah, it’s a lot to navigate.

Alan: Yeah.

Traci: Honestly, I– I thought once she got home and accepted that, and that things were over with tucker, she would be able to just go on with her life. But that’s when things got very worrisome.

Alan: In what way?

Traci: My sister has been having mood swings.

Alan: Uh, highs and lows, or?

Traci: No, um, more like personality shifts. For example, uh, she will be extremely confident.

Alan: Well, that’s ashley.

[ Both laugh ]

Traci: Yeah. So, take that ashley to the nth degree. And at the next moment, she’ll be almost childlike. And then last night, we got a new one. Uh, uh, tequila shots and live it up. But the most troubling is when she is our ashley. She’s so fragile. And she’s confided in me that she’s having blackouts.

Alan: Wait, from alcohol?

Traci: I don’t think so. The– the time I know about for sure, she insists she had nothing to drink.

Alan: Blackouts. What else does she say about the blackouts?

[ Traci sighs ]

Traci: Well, she sort of describes them as big chunks of time that are just missing, like she’ll wake up somewhere and not know where she is or how she got there. The family is really worried.

Alan: Well, that’s an understandable reaction.

Traci: Yeah. My brother billy suggests that maybe she’s experiencing splintering of her personality, you know, triggered by the trauma of what happened with tucker.

Alan: Well, that is a serious diagnosis. Is billy a psychiatrist?

Traci: No, but… he’s experienced something similar himself.

Alan: Oh.

Traci: He says he can recognize the signs. Now, we’ve tried to get her to see a doctor, and she agrees. And at the last minute, she changes her mind.

Alan: Hm. Well, I’m– I’m glad you reached out to me. And I’ve known ashley a very long time and in the past, she has confided in me that she has a history of psychosis. So maybe it was triggered somehow, brought to a new level.

Diane: Kill ’em with kindness, huh?

Ashley: Words to live by.

Diane: I hope you don’t feel the need to be that way with me.

Ashley: Oh, diane, I’ve never felt the need to be anyone but myself with you.

Diane: Well, good. Then, maybe you’ll be straight with me and tell me how you’re really feeling.

Ashley: Oh, well… I’m tired of all the questions and the overwhelming concern and the sad looks from jack and tracy.

Diane: Well, that’s because they care about you.

Ashley: Yeah, it’s so suffocating. Makes me want to go elsewhere for my coffee.

Diane: All right, to be fair, you admitted to all of us that you didn’t know what was going on with you. You seemed genuinely lost, frightened, desperate for answers. No, really. And then you ran from that doctor’s appointment that traci and sharon worked so hard to make for you. Why did you do that? Were you afraid of what the doctor might find out?

Victor: Hello. How was your night?

Jordan: The accommodations stink. The food is worse.

Victor: You know, that’s the review I was aspiring to.

[ Jordan laughs ] So… where’s my granddaughter?

Jordan: Okay. Okay. You win. I prefer a chteau in france. Same deal as before. My freedom, a new life, and you get claire’s location.

Victor: You have… tendencies to be delusional, don’t you? There’ll be no deal. You know why? We know where claire is. We found the keys to the storage room. Rather sloppy on your part.

Jordan: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Victor: You know exactly what I’m talking about. When my doctor gave me breztri for my copd Happy mother’s day! Some things never change. Like a mother’s love. Get something as timeless as a mother’s love at harryanddavid.Com. Life is a gift. Share more.

Traci: Jack and I didn’t know what else to do. And then I thought of you and your friendship. And I was hoping that you could talk to her, urge her to get treatment.

Alan: Well, of course, I’m happy to find out more about what’s going on with her, but I– I can’t treat her. I retired and my american license expired when I moved to france 10 years ago, so.

Traci: Yeah, I didn’t expect that you would be her doctor. I was just hoping you could get her past whatever is stopping her from getting help.

Alan: I certainly will do my best. We’ve been friends a long time. I care very much about ashley.

Traci: Oh, thank you. The family appreciates any help. And I just want my sister back.

Alan: Ah, of course. And does she know I’m here?

Traci: Yes, yes. I t– I told her that I had reached out to you. And honestly, I was worried she might think I overstepped.

Alan: Well, understandable, knowing ashley.

Traci: Yes, but she was really good with it. Um, I think she prefers the idea of talking to you over a doctor she’s never met before. So, I don’t think you’ll get any resistance unless…

[ Traci sighs ] Honestly, my sister’s moods can change on a dime.

Ashley: Don’t you have better things to do than harp on me about decisions I’ve made for my own well-being?

Diane: I’m not harping about anything. I’m just asking you.

Ashley: Then, what are you doing here? I mean, why are you fetching brownies for your grandson?

Diane: Ashley, I’m not looking for a fight.

Ashley: You are the co-ceo of jabot cosmetics. By the way, you never thanked me for letting you slide on in there without any kind of a fuss. Are you looking to get out, maybe? Because I could try to help you get fired if that’s what you really want.

Diane: I’m trying to be nice. If you don’t want my help, fine. But I can’t butt out completely. You see, I care about jack, and jack’s worried about you. So, that makes you my concern as well.

Ashley: Oh.

Jordan: Do you really think that I’d be so stupid to leave a set of keys lying around? [ Chuckles ] You’d better make a deal with me right now if you ever want to see your precious granddaughter alive again.

Victor: You should have taken my deal. You’d be lounging right now in some chteau in the south of france. Instead, you’re going to… die slowly… in this… luxurious place.

Jordan: You’re wrong, victor. You still need me.

Victor: I have you. No one knows where the hell you are. I’m the only one. And this time, I promise you… there’s no way out.

Jordan: You won’t find claire! You’ll be back! You’ll be back begging me to help! Victor!

Victoria: Oh, this is it. Number 23.

Cole: Hang on, hang on.

Victoria: Don’t worry.

Cole: I gotta check– I gotta check for signs of a trap. Here.

Victoria: It’s so quiet. What are you looking for?

Cole: There could be a wire. A trigger. Trigger for something here. Anything that looks suspicious. Okay. All right. It looks okay.

Victoria: Hold on. Wait, wait, wait. I’m– I’m scared… of what we might find.

Cole: Listen, I am, too. But we can’t wait any longer on this.

Victoria: Okay.

Cole: All right, listen. Maybe– maybe you just– you should step back, just in case, okay? Just… claire?

Victoria: Claire? Claire, are you in there? It’s mom and dad!

If you’re taking

an antidepressant,

Victoria: Claire? Sweetheart?

Cole: Okay, we gotta go in. Do you have the flashlight?

Victoria: Yeah. It’s here.

Claire: Here. Help me.

Victoria: Oh, my god!

Cole: Claire!

Victoria: Claire!

Ashley: Oh, please, diane. Just back the truck up. Drop the third degree, counselor. When you’ve all decided how I’m supposed to behave, and when I don’t behave that way, you get your shorts in a twist. I’m not some ice queen. I’m a red-blooded woman who had her heart broken. Does that mean I have to have professional help?

Diane: You asked for it yourself the other night. I was there.

Ashley: The more I thought about it, the more I realized it’s just heartbreak. I’ve gotten through it before, and I will get through it now.

Diane: Well, it doesn’t mean you don’t need professional help to do so.

Ashley: I will find my balance if it will get you all off of my back. I’ll try very hard not to be too extra. Although, I do find it very interesting that all of you people can live your lives however you want, messy as they are, without any kind of intervention. Well, I plan on doing the same. I’m gonna have some fun. So, you can either join my party or get out of my way.

[ Phone ringing ] Oh. Tell me something good.

Traci: Ashley, I’m here at the house with your friend, alan. He’s arrived from paris. He’s eager to see you.

Ashley: Oh, that is the best news I’ve had in ages. Tell him I can’t wait to see him. Gotta run.

Diane: What’s the rush?

Ashley: Well, finally, somebody in this town that I can have some fun with. I gotta go carpe some diem.

Diane: Ah, enjoy.

Ashley: Thanks. Oh, diane. Thank you so much for your concern. I mean, if it’s sincere.

Diane: And why wouldn’t it be?

Ashley: Oh, honey. Because you’re you. Ta.

Michael: Where the hell did you go?

Victor: To talk to my security team.

Michael: Well, why not do that with me?

Victor: Do I need my lawyer to talk to my damn security team?

Michael: But, victor, you need to find out–

Victor: Will you stop asking questions, for heaven’s sake? I think I found the answer. Seemingly, that jordan woman used the same alias… renting a hotel room as she did when she rented that storage unit.

Michael: So, you think cole and victoria are correct, that this is the place that jordan stashed claire?

Victor: Yeah, I’m certain of it.

Michael: But it still could be a trap.

Victor: I know how her mind works.

Michael: All right, then we need to get a security team down there. Victoria and cole shouldn’t face this by themselves.

Victor: They’re already on their way. I just hope in time to rescue claire.

Victoria: Oh, my god.

Cole: Claire.

Victoria: Cole, she’s in there, she’s in there. Help me!

Claire: Please get her off. Please, dad, get her off.

Victoria: Get her off!

Cole: Okay. Oh, my gosh.

Victoria: She’s not breathing.

Cole: Come here.

Claire: I can’t– I can’t– I can’T. [ Sobs ]

Victoria: Be careful. Please be careful. Come on, I got you.

[ Claire sobbing ]

Cole: Oh.

Victoria: Come here, I got you. You’re okay now.

Cole: You’re okay, baby.

Victoria: We got you.

Cole: You’re okay now.

Victoria: We’re gonna take you home. Shh, it’s okay.

[ Claire sobs ] No, it’s okay. I’ve got you. This skinny pop is so delicious.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Victor: Nikki, call me back, please. Third time I’ve left a message for her. She has not called back. It’s not like her.

[ Phone rings ] Yes, darling?

Victoria: We found her, daddy.

Victor: You did?

Victoria: She’s alive. She’s really shaken up, but she’s okay.

Victor: That makes me very happy, sweetheart. Are the police there? Is my team there?

Victoria: No, no, not yet. Uh, but cole will talk to them. I need to get claire some food. Daddy, I really don’t think she’s up to answering any questions right now, no matter what the police want. Cole will handle that, okay?

Victor: You bring claire home as soon as you can. All right? This makes me so happy.

[ Michael laughs ] Wow.

[ Ashley gasps ]

Alan: Ashley!

Ashley: It’s true! You’re really here.

Alan: In the flesh.

Ashley: Oh, I’m so happy to see you.

Alan: Oh, me too. You look wonderful.

Ashley: Did you follow me? Honestly, they are keeping me on such a short leash these days.

Diane: I said I was picking up brownies for harrison. If I’d have known you were coming back here, I would have had you deliver them yourself. Ah, I’m diane, traci and ashley’s sister-in-law. I’m jack’s wife.

Alan: Alan laurent, nice to meet you.

Diane: Nice to meet you. Are you two old friends?

Ashley: No, diane, that’s not going to happen. Alan flew all the way from paris to see me and I’m going to take you out to lunch. Please tell me you’re hungry.

Alan: I am famished.

Ashley: Oh, let’s get out of here. Bye-bye.

Diane: Bye.

Ashley: Bye-bye. I’ve got this great place, you’re gonna love it.

Diane: And that is?

Traci: Ashley’s psychologist friend from paris. I had hoped that he would be able to talk to her one-on-one, but she seems pretty amped up.

Diane: Ah, yeah, I just had a little run-in with her at crimson lights.

Traci: Do you mean a confrontation?

Diane: No, no, not exactly, but I– I think I met one of her alters. She was feisty, but if I’m being honest, a little fun.

Traci: Alters? Are you making a joke? I thought you were trying to help.

Diane: I am. Gosh, I’ve been nothing but supportive, and I have taken my fair share of hits from ashley even before these personality swings of hers.

Traci: Well, you’re being awfully flip about something that is dead serious. It’s almost like you’re enjoying seeing her like this.

Diane: Traci, do you really think that of me?

[ Diane scoffs ] W– when will this family stop punishing me for my past and stop assuming the worst about me? Do I really need to still prove that I’m being sincere?

Traci: Apparently, you do.

Victoria: All right, here you are. Listen, why don’t I make some tea? And– and you can go upstairs and take a hot shower.

Victor: Sweetheart.

Victoria: I imagine you want to get some sleep.

Victor: My goodness, come here. Come here. Tell us what happened.

Victoria: Daddy, she really hasn’t said very much. She’s– she’s shaken up.

Cole: Yeah, we probably should let her get some rest first.

Victoria: Yeah.

Claire: It’s okay. Now, that I’m here, safe with all of you, I… I think I can talk about it. I want to. I want– I want to get it out.

Victor: Okay. Then, why don’t you do that? Sit down, let’s do it, okay?

Claire: After your anniversary party, I went to return harrison’s good luck bunny. He’d shown it to me earlier and… I found it at the lounge. Jordan must have followed me somehow. Gotten into the abbott house. I was upstairs. Harrison had asked me to read him a story. And then, he went to the bathroom and… jordan appeared out of nowhere. She… she chloroformed me.

Victoria: That must have been so terrifying.

Claire: The next thing I knew, I… I was being dragged into that storage unit. I knew if jordan had her way, that was going to be my only chance to escape, so… I fought back hard. I almost got away. But then… that woman collapsed on top of me. I think she must have had a heart attack from all the exertion. I was pinned down. I couldn’t get her off of me. I was trapped underneath her dead weight.

Cole: What, you– you were trapped like that all that time?

Claire: I really thought I was going to die there, too.

[ Claire sniffles ] If you’re one of the millions of people with diabetes

Alan: Ah, thank you.

Ashley: So–

Abby: Mom!

Ashley: Hi!

Abby: Hi. I love this outfit.

Ashley: Thank you.

Abby: Wow, it’s good to see you.

Ashley: You, too. This is alan, my friend from paris. And this is my daughter, abby. She owns this fine establishment.

Alan: Nice to meet you.

Abby: Nice to meet you, all the way from paris. I’m sure you two have a lot to catch up on, so I won’t interrupt. But, um, I’ll send over all your favorites.

Ashley: Perfect.

Abby: Enjoy.

Ashley: We will. So, tell me. How is paris faring without me?

Alan: Well, the city of lights is a bit dimmer.

Ashley: Oh. [ Laughs ] What about you? Are you surviving?

Alan: Oh, I’m managing to get through retirement. Tackling all those home projects I’ve been putting off for years. Getting through that pile of books that’s been haunting me.

Ashley: Yeah.

Alan: How about you? Last time we saw each other in paris, you were, uh… on edge. Upset about your breakup with tucker.

Ashley: I put all that behind me. I’m a new woman, can’t you tell?

Alan: You do seem happier.

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

Alan: But I have known you a long time, and you don’t have to pretend with me.

Ashley: Oh, honey.

Abby: Well, this is a new vintage that we’re trying here. I’m sure being from france, you’re a champagne connoisseur.

Ashley: Oh, listen, they drink it like water over there. And you know what? It is the best remedy for jet lag, right?

Alan: Yes. Well, then let’s have some.

Ashley: Okay.

Alan: Mm. It’s very good.

Abby: Hm. Mom, what do you think?

Ashley: Mm. I have never met a glass of bubbles I didn’t like.

Abby: Well, great. Uh, then, it’s on the house.

Ashley: Oh, that’s so sweet of you.

Alan: Oh. Thank you. Would you care to join us?

Abby: You know, actually, um, I’m covering for my manager. So, rain check?

Ashley: Okay, next time.

Abby: Yeah. Bye.

Ashley: Yeah. So… where were we?

Alan: I believe you were telling me how you were doing.

Ashley: Mm. No, I think I was trying to evade that question, actually.

Alan: You’ve been doing a very good job of that so far.

Ashley: Well, we both know that traci and jack flew you here to analyze me, right? They want you to probe my deepest, innermost feelings and thoughts. Is that what you want to do, alan?

[ Michael smooches ]

Lauren: Oh, my goodness. I didn’t think you’d be able to join me. I thought you’d be all tied up with the search. But in the event you were going to show up, look what I ordered you.

Michael: Oh, bless you. Bless you.

Lauren: Oh.

Michael: Good news, finally. They found claire. Alive.

Lauren: Oh. Thank god. Oh, nikki’s going to be so relieved. Jordan dead, claire found. Maybe this nightmare can finally be over.

Michael: Well…

Lauren: And you must be relieved as well.

Michael: Here’s hoping that we’re even more relieved once we get news from los angeles that sheila is indeed very dead.

Lauren: Is that what has you so unsettled? That you’re hoping, like I am, that it really was sheila in the morgue?

Michael: That and, um… I think victor is keeping something from me.

[ Lauren laughs ]

Lauren: Well, of course victor is keeping something from you. That’s how he operates. He always keeps a little detail to himself.

Michael: True. But this time, I don’t think it’s a little detail. I’m afraid it’S… it’s about jordan. About her death.

Lauren: You said that she fell into a river from a height that no one could survive.

Michael: Yeah, that’s what victor told me. But I haven’t been able to confirm it.

Lauren: Oh, you think he’s lying about that?

Michael: Just a sense I have. But I’ve known that man a long time.

Claire: But I knew I had to stop. I couldn’t let myself think about what might happen being trapped there like that. So, I… I imagined being free. Back out in the world. Being here. With you. Being safe in my room. And I got angry. Thinking about jordan. Everything she’s done to me. To all of you. That anger gave me the strength to maneuver myself so that I could get the phone out of that woman’s pocket and I could call you. But then the phone died and I… had to try not to panic all over again.

Victoria: The call was garbled. I– I couldn’t hear anything but a faint voice. I couldn’t make out what you were saying. Just one word. Mom.

Cole: Your mother. She knew it was you. She insisted that we go to that motel room where they found harrison. And even though the police said they had searched it, she knew there had to be a clue. There had to be something there that was going to tell us where you were.

Claire: Motel? Oh, my god, she took harrison too? Is he okay?

Victoria: He’s okay. He’s safe.

[ Claire exhales sharply ]

Claire: How did you find me?

Victoria: There was a doll in the room and…

Cole: It was like the ones that my mother used to collect.

Victoria: Jordan had hidden a set of keys in the back of the doll. And they looked like the ones that billy had from that same storage facility.

Cole: We took a gamble. You know the rest.

Claire: Harrison’s okay? You promise? Can I see him?

Victoria: He’s safe, I promise you. I don’t think that kyle and summer are going to let him out of their sight anytime soon, but he’s safe.

Claire: He must have been so scared. He must still be so scared. That… that trauma. Where is she? Where’s jordan? Did they arrest her? We can’t ever let her hurt that sweet boy ever again.

Victor: The bitch is dead.

If you have chronic

kidney disease you can reduce

Ashley: In spite of the fact that none of my siblings actually has a medical degree, they’ve decided that something’s wrong with me. And that’s why you’re here. They want you to figure out what that is.

Alan: Yeah. I’m aware of the reasons your family has very suddenly offered me a first class ticket here to genoa city. And I believe you are too.

Ashley: Mm-hmm. So, you mean to tell me that the only reason you’re here is on a professional level?

Alan: Well, look, of course I, um, want to know how you’re doing. Last time I saw you, you were struggling and that concerns me. But, as I told traci, I’m retired, I no longer have a license to practice in the united states, and I would never treat a friend.

Ashley: Hm. We are good friends, aren’t we?

Alan: Yes. I took their offer so I could be with one of my favorite people. Your last trip to paris was very brief and, well, I wanted to see the place you called home. It always brings you back. But, if you don’t want me here, it is– it is an open ticket. I can– I can go back any time.

Ashley: Oh, no, I want you here. I really want you here. And of course, I’m thrilled to show you around town, but I just have to let you in on a tiny little secret. The rumors about my, uh, mental breakdown? Highly exaggerated.

Alan: Well, I’m glad to hear that.

Ashley: Oh, of course. Oh, my sweetie, you are the answer to my prayers. The perfect solution for ashley. This visit will not be clinical at all. Time for some joie de vivre.

Lauren: Well, if sheila is lurking in the shadows, she better not come anywhere near me or she’s going to be sorry.

Michael: Ooh, my warrior wife.

Lauren: Well, luckily I have other things to focus on. I’m very busy at work. This morning, I filled in for nikki on a big meeting. I mean, she just felt like it was too much coming into the office today, which is completely understandable given everything that’s been going on. She was very confident that you and victor would find claire, but it was just, you know, waiting on that news was having her worried sick.

Michael: What? She didn’t show up at the office, where’d she go?

Lauren: She went home. Why?

Michael: Just now?

Lauren: Hours ago.

Michael: I’ve been at the ranch with victor all morning. She wasn’t there and victor’s been trying to reach her.

Lauren: Nikki, it’s lauren. Call me as soon as you can.

Michael: Straight to voicemail?

Lauren: Yes.

Michael: That’s what victor was getting.

Lauren: Jack, hi, it’s lauren. Have you seen nikki? I– I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about. Call me when you can.

Claire: The fact that she kidnapped harrison, an innocent child, just proves she was beyond redemption.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Claire: I’m glad she’s dead. I’m grateful. For the sake of everyone that she’s hurt, who just had to live in fear of her.

Victoria: That would be all of us. But mostly you.

Claire: Is it true? Am I really finally free of her?

Victor: I promise you, she’ll never hurt anyone again.

Jordan: You will not win. You will not win. You will not win. You will not beat me. You will not beat me. I will find a way out of this hellhole. And I will make you pay… victor newman!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Drew and nina moaning ] Why — I can’t believe we did this again! What the hell is wrong with us?! Ahh. You may regret it now, but, uh… you were enjoying yourself.

[ Laughs ] And… I’m finding a few less things to hate about you than I was an hour ago. Well, the sex was… mutually consensual. But you know what? I certainly regret that you are such a horrible, vengeful person. Well, if it helps, think about sending me to prison as foreplay. Hilarious. Look. I am done working for the day, really would like to get out of here, so do you mind letting me know how long you plan to lecture me about how awful a person I am before you kind of straighten up your clothes and, uh, get out of here?

[ Knock on door ]

[ Knock on door ] Ms. Ramirez. Ah. Please. No, no. Call me natalia. I’m glad to find you here by yourself. And why is that? Well, I have some questions about deception, and you seem like you are the only serious person who’s involved in running the company. That’s just not true. Isn’t it, though? Ms. Coe seems pretty neurotic, and there’s that crazy attorney who redrafted allie’s contract. I don’t — okay. Look. Lucy is lucy, and where scott might be eccentric, he’s also very competent. You have yet to meet our majority shareholder, tracy quartermaine, who’s a force of nature. I might call her

too serious. Then, of course, there’s brook lynn. Yeah. Another quartermaine. Okay. Olivia: Ahh! It’s the moment of truth. Look at this. How does it look? Well, remember what I said. I am not gonna be a pushover. I’m gonna tell you what I really think. Okay? Could’ve jazzed up the presentation a little bit, but it smells very good. Doesn’t look like anything we’ve had before. Well, maybe sasha is trying to broaden our horizons, huh? What about that?

[ Door opens ] Hey, you. Hey, hey. Wiley!

[ Laughs ] I just got back from work. Hi, wiley! And melanie said that you wanted wiley and me to give you our opinions on something. -Hmm! -What’s that?! It’s a tetrazzini. Is it an animal or is it a vegetable? It’s just another way of cooking chicken, sweetheart, and you like chicken, right? Yeah. Well, then… you’re gonna love what sasha made. Well, I made two casseroles, so there’s plenty for everyone. Enjoy.

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Rock music playing ] Thank you. Dex heller. Jason morgan. I know who you are. What do you want? It’s about sonny.

Tell sonny that I don’t want any trouble, but I did apply to the police academy, and if I get in, i am gonna be a cop. Sonny didn’t send me. I’m here because of josslyn. She’s afraid sonny might have you killed. And I promised her I would not let that happen. No offense, but how are you gonna stop it? I’ll figure it out. Thanks, but no thanks. If I can protect myself. I can respect that. But I’m not doing it for you. I’m doing it for josslyn. And for sonny. I think you’ve got your motives crossed. Sonny’s the one who wants me dead. Sonny knows better than to target a cop. I mean, he should. He did. He should’ve known better than to go after cyrus renault, but he still sent me to kill him.

[ Indistinct conversations ] Could I — can I have a menu? Thank you. Of all the gin joints in all the world. Hello, valentin. Hello, anna. Can I buy you a glass of wine? Sure. That’d be lovely. Thank you. What’s up? Pouilly-fuissé. Yeah? Mmm. Pretty nice. Yeah. Um, can I get one of those, please? Thank you. So, how you been? Busy. Good. It agrees with you. Oh. You think? Thank you. Yeah, you’re engaged. You’re, uh, energized. As opposed to what? Have I been slouching around like a sloth all these years and didn’t know it? No, no. You’re always beautiful. You’re also driven to be first-class in everything that you do. In fact, if you were to ever hang up your dancing shoes, give over your badge, and try your luck as a tree surgeon, I’m sure you’d be brilliant at it. Well, that’s where you’re wrong. You know. I have a black thumb. I can’t tell you how many plants robin bought me that ended up in the dustbin. Well, as luck would have it, we don’t have to find out, ’cause it turns out that being police commissioner of port charles suits you. I happen to think it suits me, too. That’s probably the cleaning staff. They must have moved to another office. I’ll make sure that they don’t come back. Hey, it’s drew cain. Can you tell housekeeping I’m working late and I don’t need my office cleaned tonight? Thank you. Great. Crisis averted. Oh, my god. I am so late! I am so late! Um… yes! Madison! I got held up. Please tell congressman mcconkey that I am sorry and I’ll be right there. Oh, it’s, uh — no, it’s totally fine that he had to reschedule. It’s fine. Oh, but please tell the congressman that I know how busy he is and I’m more than happy to come to him when we reschedule. Thank you so much, madison. Okay, I almost missed a very important meeting because of…this. So let’s just not have this be a habit. I wouldn’t call twice a habit. No, it’s more like a mistake followed by a bigger mistake. I want to focus on what I just overheard. Representative mcconkey? Seems like an odd fit for crimson. What was that about? Larry mcconkey is a family friend. He was in the same class as my father, and he reached out to me because he has A… exclusive announcement that he wants to reveal in a interview. And if it isn’t suitable for crimson, I can always run it in the invader. Well, I want to go with you when you meet with him. Mcconkey’s a major player in the house, and if he reached out to aurora — no, he reached out to me. Well, I want to take advantage of this opportunity and I’d like to make his acquaintance. And who exactly would I say you are? My chauffeur? Just tell him I’m the guy you sent to prison and whose clothes you like to rip off every once in a while. Taste this. Oh. What is it? Just — just tell me what you think. Okay.

[ Mutters ] It’s great. You sure? Y-you’re not just saying that? No, t-this is great. Sasha, what’s going on here? Oh, I’m auditioning to be the quartermaines’ cook, and I made a tetrazzini, which I am now really regretting. I mean, why did i pick something that olivia can probably make in her sleep? Wait. Hold on. You might work here, too? Sasha, this is great. Why am I just hearing about this now? Well, it just came about this afternoon. The quartermaines need a cook, and olivia really likes that shepherd pie that I made, so… mm-hmm. …She wants to hire me, but she wanted me to audition first by cooking something tonight. I-I would’ve really liked some time to practice the dish, but the job comes with room and board, so I couldn’t say no. Wait. So you might live here, too? Yeah. I really hope that it works out because I’m supposed to be out of my apartment by the end of the month, and the rental market is really insane right now. Besides… I would really like the job. But I-I don’t want to infringe o-on your thing. Wait. Wha– what? Would you feel crowded if I were living here, too?

I know we only just met, but I can’t imagine my life without you.

[Dog whimper] () Alright. Everybody stop stalling and eat it. Okay, boys, I will take this one for the team and be the guinea pig. That’s actually pretty good. Yeah? Yeah. Try it yourself. Okay. Is it spaghetti or is it a casserole? Oh, it’s both, actually. What’s a casserole? Casserole. Spelled c-a-s-s-e-r-o-l-E. But what is it? I dunno. Okay. Enough! Enough. We’re gonna use the one-bite rule. Everyone is gonna take one bite. If you don’t like it, you can eat a banana and cheese and crackers, but we are all gonna try it, okay? I will join you. Mm. You weren’t kidding. This is good. Yeah. Right? Who knew sasha was so talented? Oh. What do you think, you guys? You like it? I like it! If I eat it all, can I still have a banana?

[ Laughter ] Yeah, yeah. Sure thing, bud. What about you? My little picky eater. You like it? Yeah! This is so much better than your spaghetti.

[ Coughs ] Can I have it tomorrow night, too? Maxie: This is the disruptor nourishing moisturizer. It’s part of our new deceptive skincare line. Oh, I really like the scent. And the texture is nice, too. But does it work? Because I’m not gonna have allie hawking some bogus cream. If she’s gonna be identified with a product, it’s got to really give good results. Of course, it works. All of our products are rigorously tested. Everything we make does what we say it will. The most important thing deception has is our customers’ trust — their belief in our brand and in us. Well, you’re clearly a very effective marketer. But, look, what I really want to talk about is, what does alison’s music manager exactly do here at deception? Um, okay. Brook lynn has had several important roles at deception over the last few years. That just makes me wonder why none of the positions held her interest for very long. No, no, no. That’s not how I would describe it. Well, I understand that brook lynn had her own brief singing career for a while. When she got tired of that, she moved on to music management because her mom did it. With all due respect, that is not very fair to brook lynn. She didn’t have any choice but to give up singing. It’s not what she wanted. And while, yes, she was introduced to the music industry by her mother and her dad, actually, she genuinely loves it, and she believes in and is very serious about the artists she represents. So, then, when did she become really serious about face creams? Because it just seems to me that alison is putting her career in — in the hands of this wealthy dilettante who really doesn’t know what she wants to do with her life, so she tries a little bit of this and a little bit of that and basically changes careers like some people change hairstyles. I know you went to work for sonny because michael hired you. He wanted you to get evidence against sonny, and you did. You still have it? No. If I did, I’d have given it to commissioner devane. What was it? Ask michael. Dex… I told josslyn I’m not gonna let sonny kill you. That means I’m not gonna kill you, either. I learned a lot from sonny. He’s smart. He’s cautious. He understood that there’s certain risks not worth taking. He doesn’t think that way anymore. No, he doesn’T. So I need to know how sonny got in over his head, starting with his deal with pikeman. I like sitting here with you. It’s comfortable. It’s familiar. Well, we’ve known each other a long time. I thought about you a lot while I was out of the country. You were out of the country? What, you were doing business abroad? No. I was taking charlotte back to boarding school in switzerland. She went back? Willingly? It was her idea. I mean, despite the fact that it was victor who took her there in the first place, she likes it. She has friends there and equestrian events. And she wanted to get out of port charles ’cause it hasn’t been very good for her. I don’t need to tell you that. No. I’m aware of the things that happened to her lately and my part in that. I’ll always regret that night. But I am very grateful that she felt well enough to go back to switzerland and — I mean, if that’s what she wants. Me too. I miss her. Of course you do. I miss you, too. I miss having you in my life. And I know that wasn’t possible while charlotte was in town, but she’s — she’s away at boarding school now. Is it crazy to think that maybe we can see each other again?

I’m not making any promises, but I will think about introducing you to congressman mcconkey — on one condition. And that would be? That we both agree that… this can never happen again. That’s fine with me. Already forgot about it.

[ Knock on door ] I’ve already forgotten about it, too. I thought I told them to — willow: Drew? Are you in there? It’s willow!

[ Objects shuffling ]

[ Door opens ] Willow! Hey! I-I thought I heard somebody knocking. Come on in. Willow! [ Chuckles ] So sorry. We didn’t — we didn’t hear you. Nina, did you, uh — did you lock the door? Eh– I-if I did, I didn’t mean to.

[ Clears throat ] The, uh — the rep was a suit named hume. Sonny must have met with him three or four times. Was there anybody else? Valentin cassadine. He’s the one who set up the initial meeting, and then when sonny wanted to back out, valentin came back. So why did sonny change his mind about working with pikeman? He thought it was too risky. The first shipment that they had us move was this, uh — this plastic explosive. It’s a classified weapon. It’s supposed to be for special forces. It’s not supposed to be for sale. It’s a major nsa violation. But if sonny had been busted, it would have been 20 years minimum. And you got a recording of it? I gave it to michael like we agreed. He decided not to use it. Did you keep a copy for yourself for insurance? No, I thought it would be safer to not have anything to tie me to the video. Alright. So what — so what about cassadine? Did he do anything else besides set up the meeting? Yeah. Yeah, he met with hume the same day that someone tried to take sonny out at the metro court. How do you know that? I was out for a run. I saw hume get out of a car at the cosmopolitan hotel with cassadine. Are you sure… that this was the same day somebody shot at sonny? Positive. There’s a date stamp on the picture. You got that picture? You caught me off guard there. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, really. I thought that… …that we agreed that there was just too much hurt and damage, you know, and that that door was just permanently closed. Anna, I’m rattling around in that huge house all by myself. A house that I bought for you and me to share. And I miss you. Will you let me take you out to dinner? Maybe we can move beyond the past? I’m gonna have to think about that before I can give you an answer if that’S… well, you’re willing to think about it. That’s a good start. Not making any promises, though. Mm-hmm. I mean, my feelings for you didn’t just… disappear overnight. You know, it’s really difficult for us to go separate ways after everything we had. But I’m just not sure if I’M… ready to go down that path again, you know, ’cause maybe t-there’s just more heartbreak. I think there’s only one way to find out.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Saved by the bell! Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] Who do I have to thank for that? Go. Duty calls, yeah. Keep poor charles safe. I’ll call you. Sure.

Pursue it. Okay. Look. I’m happy todiscuss deception with you, but if you’re here to enlist my help to undermine brook lynn’s role as blaze’s music manager, you’re barking up the wrong tree. Brook lynn is my best friend. She’s also a consummate professional. She understands all aspects of the music industry, creative, logistical, financial. Sure, brook lynn’s mom may have shown her the ropes when it comes to the music industry, but brook lynn’s been doing it on her own ever since. Oh, come on.

[ Chuckles ] To say that brook lynn quartermaine has been doing it on our own, that’s actually laughable because I believe that the term for it is “nepo baby” — when somebody’s parents and grandparents — I mean, in this case, brook lynn’s entire family — paved the way for her. And the phrase “did it on her own” should be saved for people like alison who actually didn’t know anybody in the music industry and still made it as a star. This is not a competition. They can both be good at what they do. Well, that remains to be seen. I’ m sorry. I tried knockinga little while ago, but you must not have heard me. Um, I-I tried to leave a message with the front desk, but they said you were still in here working, so I came back. I can see you’re busy, though, so, um, we could totally talk another time. Oh, no. Stay, stay. Willow. No, we just, um — we finished, um, going over the crimson photo budget, and drew was very generous and gave me everything I wanted. But now we are finished. So I will leave you two alone.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Nina: Bye. Nina. Wait. Is there something? Do you need something? Oh, no. It’s just, um… I was kind of thrown when I saw you and drew in here together. Well, we work together.

Crimson wouldn’t run very well if we don’t talk. No. Right. Of course. I-I — I guess I meant “thrown” in a good way. If drew can still sit across from you and calmly discuss normal things like a photo budget after you sent him to prison, then… he must be a pretty forgiving person. Yes. He certainly is. And if the two of you can find a way to get along, then it makes me wonder if I haven’t been too harsh, holding on so tightly to my grievances, so… maybe it’s time I let my anger at you go, too. Thank you for saying that. I’m gonna go.

[ Chuckles ] Well, that was very unexpected.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Definitely not what I was thinking was going to happen when I came to see you tonight. How did it feel to reach out to nina like that? Surprisingly okay. And I have you to thank — for being the bigger person and showing me the way. Sasha — should I just go back to the house? I was trying to give them some space, but maybe michael and olivia are just trying to think of the best way to turn me down nicely. Has anyone ever told you that you’re really cute when you’re nervous? Which you don’t have to be. Because, number one, what you made is delicious. Number two, no, I don’t feel crowded by you. In fact, I thought it was the other way around. And, number three, you’ll never be without a place to stay. If it comes down to it, you can live up in my room, and I’ll sleep down here with the beasts, where I belong. Please don’t misunderstand me. I-I hate being this mistrustful and — and suspicious. But I got a terrible wake-up call with alison’s first manager, linc. He exploited her, he abused her, and I had no idea what was even going on. What happened with linc was horrible. And you have every right to be worried about blaze. But brook lynn — she’s above-board, and she would never do anything to hurt your daughter. Are you — are you a mom? Yes, I have a son and two daughters. Okay. Good. Then you understand why I’m asking so many questions. I just — I want to protect my daughter, and I don’t want her represented by someone who just thinks that music is some, you know, fun break from tennis on tuesdays or something sweet and fun to do while she’s not planning her wedding. Okay, that’s not how brook lynn thinks at all. Let’s face it. Alison’s association with brook lynn is the only reason she’s the face of deception because my daughter’s bigger dreams have nothing to do with face cream. I’ve known brook lynn for a long time. And I’ve always thought that, for a quartermaine, she’s pretty well-adjusted, realistic, and hardworking. Blaze seems to think so, too, which makes me wonder. All these big dreams that you keep talking about? Are they your daughters or are they yours? So easy to, uh — to blame the mother, isn’t it? You’ll find that out when your kids get older. Just something to think about. Have a nice day. It was one thing when my mom got alzheimer’s, but then we started noticing things that seemed…off. She developed agitation that may happen with dementia due to alzheimer’s disease. Sometimes she’d fidget with her fingers, get suddenly overwhelmed, and even throw things. And that was just never her. So we asked her doctor what else we could do.

Wow. [ Chuckles ] Is that all it took? Self-identifying as a beast? Michael: What’s going on here? Oh, just, uh, horsin’ around. Ohh. Didn’t expect to see you two together. Guess it makes sense that you should meet. So this is who you were texting? I don’t know what’s going on here, but it’s definitely above my pay grade. Not that I have a pay grade yet. Oh. Actually… you do.

[ Envelope opening ] Welcome to the police academy… new recruit heller. Thank you, commissioner. I know you played a big role in this. No. Not as big as you might think. You earned your spot. Guess I’ll be taking you up on that offer after all. Just promise me you’ll be good to josslyn. That’s a promise I will gladly keep if I get the chance. Thank you again, commissioner. Congratulations. Did you get some new information from dex? Yeah. So, um… pikeman’s rep is a guy named hume, right? Correct. Dex witnessed valentin and hume meeting on the same day the sniper team tried to take sonny out at the metro court pool. No. No, that’s impossible. You are giving me too much credit, willow. You’re literally one of the most forgiving people I’ve ever met. I like to think so, but with nina, it is different. I mean, after everything she did, I had to distance myself, but maybe it is time I stopped being so angry at her — for both of our sakes. Well, you’ve got my support, whatever you choose. Thank you. So, what did you want to talk to me about? I have been thinking about the proposal from the nonprofit, and I just wanted to get more information. And michael suggested I circle back to you since you were the one who had the preliminary contact with the organization. Yeah, the new tomorrow institute. Absolutely. Have a seat. What do you want to know? Can you give me a little more information about what it is they’re looking for? Sure. Um… from our conversation, what I know is that they want to educate the general public because most people just really don’t understand how life-saving stem-cell and bone-marrow transplants from cord blood can be, especially when it comes to incredibly difficult to treat cancers a-and diseases. And the therapy is in its infancy, of course, but the — the success rate is climbing every day. Yeah. I get that. Before I got leukemia, a lot of that was foreign to me, too. Right. That’s what they want to do. T-they want to get that information. They want to make it easier to digest for the general public, and they’d like a face and a — and a voice to help spread awareness, somebody that’s young and vibrant and articulate and a survivor — like you. I mean, you’d be perfect. What exactly would I be doing on a daily basis? Well, you’d be the first person to have the job, so I think it’s yours to define, but I’m assuming you’d be doing some public speaking, probably making some videos, psas. I know they want you to advocate for fundraising. All of that seems within my capabilities. Definitely. Now, I also know that they want to keep as much money as possible for the foundation, right? So, I mean, the pay would be low, but you and michael are pretty wealthy, so I’m assuming maybe you wouldn’t want to take a salary anyway. Well, I’m not sure. I mean, the last thing I would ever want to do is take money away from someplace that needs it, but I have always paid my own way, and I’m really proud of that. However, having the flexibility to spend more time with wiley and amelia might be a bigger priority to me right now than a paycheck. If you decide to take on the role, I’m sure they’re gonna work it out. It’s pretty amazing, you know, that you’re such a good person that causes like this know they can reach out to you for help. Well, I probably should be humble and say I’m no angel, but I… I really like you thinking that I am. Maxie! Great! You’re still here. I’m trying really hard not to be. What’s up? I’m celebrating. Ugh. Celebrating what? Willow spoke to me — with actual words, said not in anger and not just in my presence, to my face of her own choice. That is real progress. Please tell me how it happened. Well, believe it or not, it’s because of drew. I did not see that coming. Yeah, neither did I. And she only talked to me tonight because she thinks that drew and i are friends now when we actually hate each other more than ever. Even the sex is hateful. The what, now? Yes, wiley, you can pet the horses, but please do not — and I repeat — do not even think about feeding them gum again. I know where the carrots are. I can feed them those instead. Okay. Cody: They would absolutely love that. Just make sure you only do one carrot at a time, okay? Alright.

[ Chuckles ] Okay, um, I don’t want to be pushy, but I am going a little out of my mind here. What did you think about my dinner? I think that you should probably open up a food-delivery service because that tetrazzini was delicious. You liked it?! I loved it. So did the boys. See? I told you you were worrying about nothing. Okay, okay, okay! I can hear everybody gushing about sasha’s cooking all the way up here. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, okay? Frankly, I thought there was a little too much oregano, not enough basil. That would have improved the dish immensely. I’m — I’m with you there, mama Q. Sasha brought me a plate, and it was delicious, except for the oregano. See that? That’s a man after my own heart. Okay. Other than that minor miscue, michael and I both thought that the dish was excellent. Even the boys liked it. They’re notoriously hard to please. So… what do you think? Can you put a dinner like that on the table every single night, plus breakfasts and lunches? Because, if you can, the job is yours.

You think? You want tobe the new quartermaine cook? Yes! I would love the job! Thank you! Thank you so much! Ohh! You earned it, honey. You did. I’d like to personally request tetrazzini at least once a week. You got it. Ah. Perfect.

[ Water splashes ] Did you guys hear that? Yeah. What’s he doing in there? Oh, I’ll handle it. Wiley? Do I hear splashing? Never a dull moment around here. But I promise you — you will get used to it. I can’t wait. I know I’m gonna love working for the quartermaines. And I promise you that everyone in the family, young and old, will have healthy, filling meals in between all the amazing dinners that you make. I’m sure we will. So, you want to go up to the house? I will show you your room and where everything is. Definitely. Great. We’re good here, right, cody? Absolutely. Okay. I don’t know… exactly what is going on between the two of you, but I think we better establish a couple of ground rules. Lay ’em on us, mama Q. Okay. What the two of you do on your own time is completely up to you. But let us be very clear from the get-go that there will be no late-night tippy-toeing into sasha’s bedroom while there are children in the house, which is basically all the time. You have nothing to worry about olivia. I promise. Okay. Good. I’m not the morality police. Far from it. But… the house is full of impressionable children and gossipy adults. You got it?

[ Chuckles ] Okay. I’ll see you up at the house. You two are very cute together. But let’s be very, very clear. I got my eyes on you.

[ Sasha and cody laugh ] I know. It’s crazy. I can’t even explain it to myself why it keeps happening. “Keeps” happening, nina? How many times have you two…? Ahh. Well, you know how it is, you know? One thing leads to another, and before you know it, it’s just happening. No, no, no, no, no, no. T-that’s something you say about online shopping, not sex with your sworn enemy — because you and drew do hate each other. It just happened. I don’t know what to tell you. It’s not like it’s hateful during. It’s — it’s great. It’s actually really great. Anyway, when it’s over, I despise him even more, along with myself, but that’s a conversation for another time. A therapist would have a field day with you. Okay. Can you just not think about the sex for a second? Alright. Willow thinks that drew is this kind of stubble-wearing superhero that can do no wrong, and the only reason that she is talking to me is because she thinks that drew and i are getting along. How do I keep drew on my side? Won’t the great sex help with that? No, I can’t — I can’t rely on that. I-I just — I need to throw him some other kind of bone to keep him happy with me. Wouldn’t it be funny, after everything that’s happened, if drew was the reason you got your family back? So, dex texted me the picture he took. Oh, that’s the cosmopolitan hotel, yeah? Yeah. You see the date stamp? That can easily be doctored. What would dex get from that? Nothing. Oh, son of a bitch. Valentin was lying the whole time. About what? About everything. When nikolas disappeared, laura and kevin, they had to go over to europe to try to search for him. And the only lead they had was chechnya, which is unstable, dangerous. So valentin volunteered to go with them. He was gone for two months. And that day… right? July 6. He called me. He called me and he said he was in geneva. But he wasn’T. He was here in port charles. With hume.

[ Sighs ] Okay, so pikeman briefed me and hamish about the metro court shooting. Basically to prep us for the job at the warehouse. It was a two-man sniper team, same as us. They got a room, they set up in the metro court, they took the shot, and then they evacuated to an extraction point where they met senior personnel who were running the op. Roman hume… and valentin? Look. They didn’t give us any names. But it sure looks like it. Well, clearly, valentin does more for pikeman than just set meetings. I was just with him. You know, when you texted me, I was — I was with him. I bumped into him at the metro court bar, and he said he’d been out of the country, that he went to switzerland to deliver his daughter back to boarding school… that it was her idea. But now I’m wondering… if it doesn’t just make it easier for him to do pikeman’s bidding. You know, switzerland’s a neutral country. It’s famously discreet. God. Half the world’s arms is sold there. He has a perfect reason to return at any point, whenever pikeman requires. So what do you want to do? Remember I told you that I was at the wsb with him? With valentin? Trainees. He was very good. But I was better.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Line ringing ] I knew it. You never could resist my animal magnetism. I’m not sure I’d put it that way. Just was… I was thinking about your dinner invitation.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Lily: Well, I did have an interesting conversation with Mamie today. And by interesting, I mean disturbing.

Billy: Let me guess, you didn’t vote the party line? Is that why?

Lily: Oh, no. She went as far to say that maybe I was too emotionally distraught over my breakup with Daniel in order to make the right decision.

[ Billy whistles ]

Billy: Damn. That’s just rude.

Lily: I don’t know. Maybe she was being sympathetic.

Billy: Which means you think maybe she wasn’t. So does that mean you’re finally coming around to the idea that your aunt Mamie is trouble?

Tucker: Seems we have an entirely new Ashley this evening.

Traci: I don’t know what you mean.

Tucker: Tracy. [ Sighs ] I walked in on a family intervention about getting her help, and it would appear she hasn’t gotten any.

Traci: Look, I am not gonna have this conversation with you, tucker. You or audra. This is a private family matter. And I thought we all agreed that this is no longer any of your concern, so–

Tucker: She did threaten me.

Traci: And I think you can see by her behavior tonight, she couldn’t care less about you. So please, just take this opportunity to let it go.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You know, it’s really too bad that Stephanie had to run off to that meeting. It would have been so nice for us all to be together. That’s okay though. We were able to say goodbye and we’ll video chat with her a lot. Actually, I’m not sure if you guys know this, but Stephanie is the one who encouraged us to take this trip.

Oh. Yeah. Next thing I know, we’re booked on a flight to Hong Kong. Well, I think it’s great that two of you are getting away for a while. And I bet your parents are happy about it, huh, Wendy? Oh, yeah, that’s an understatement. Well, listen, don’t go having a great time. So much so that you don’t come back. No, don’t worry.

We’ll be back. Okay. Promise.

Want some?

Hey, pretty girl. Hey, pretty. Hi, Ava. So, uh, you two having a little daddy daughter breakfast before school today? There’s no school today. Yeah. We’re going to the aquarium. I’m, I’m chaperoning today. Ah, I see. That sounds like fun. So, um, What’s your favorite kind of fish, Rachel? A great big orca. Oh. Like in Free Willy.

You know what’s funny? Orcas aren’t even fish. They’re mammals. It’s true. Oh, then I guess a goldfish? That works.

Well, you two have a great time, alright? Thank you.

You two want some company? Oh, Rachy, Rachy, Rachy, Rachy! You just made my day! You made mine too! Oh, honey. Oh, sweetie girl. Alex!

Rise and shine! I made you coffee and a very special breakfast. And I do hope, Monsieur Kiriakis, that you have a big appetite.

Alex!

Alex, you do have to go to work, don’t you? Okay, then. Guess I’ll be your alarm clock.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

So, are you going to learn Mandarin while you’re there? I have been teaching him some, and his accent’s pretty good. I don’t know about that, but, uh, I do plan on, you know, putting myself in some in person courses while we’re there, and, uh, I plan on volunteering at a clinic, so. Hey, that’s great, son. Yeah. And as much as I’m going to miss you at the hospital, and I am, it’s so great for you two to get away, take a break from Salem.

Well, listen. How about breakfast? Oh, I’ll help. Okay. Um, I don’t need much help, but I’ll take the comfy.

Looks like we might have a few minutes to ourselves here, huh?

Listen, buddy. I know you’re a savvy, intelligent dude. And you’ve got great instincts. I gotta tell you, the culture in China is very different from ours. Yeah, don’t, don’t worry. Wendy’s already been kinda giving me the do’s and don’ts. You know, like, uh, don’t wear your shoes inside someone’s house. Uh, never leave your chopsticks standing straight up in your food.

And, uh, oh, and never, uh, use someone’s first name unless you’re told to. Oh. Yeah. Sounds like you got it all covered. I like the chapstick’s bed, I didn’t know about that. You know, um, A little bird told me, That right before you and Wendy were rescued from that terrible situation, You had a little impromptu wedding?

Yes, yes we did. As we know, we thought we were going to die. So we only had A few minutes left, so. We decided to get unofficially married, but then once we were rescued and Oxygen returned to our prefrontal cortexes. Thankfully, we decided to talk about it and Decided that, you know, there’s no need to rush things.

Maybe someday, huh?

Listen, buddy. I’m just so glad. That you found somebody who makes you happy. And I’m so proud of you. I’m so proud of the man you’ve become. I just want the very best for you. You deserve it. Thanks dad.

Now your daddy here tells me you’re doing really well in school, especially in science. I’m really good at spelling too. I won the class spelling bee last week. Holy mackerel, that is impressive. That’s Riley’s big sister. Can I go say hi? Yeah. Yeah, sure, just stay where I can see you. Okay. It’s just so good to see my granddaughter again.

I bet. Dad, it’s been, uh, I’m not gonna lie to you, it’s been rough the last couple months with Kristen having full custody. Yeah. But, she, um, she’s encouraging me to see more of Rachel. So, it’s, it’s good. I mean, she’s been surprisingly supportive of that. Hey. Hey. You know, I don’t mean to overstep here, but Son, have you asked yourself, what do you think that is?

Oh, my. Alright. So, we started here. On the bed and then, uh, moved to the shower. And then we went around and, uh, no. Two rounds in the claw foot tub. Uh huh. That was a bit challenging, but you know. Oh, I think we rose to the occasion. Oh, we definitely rose to the occasion. Oh, damn, Ari. I know it as much as I would love to go another round with you.

Rachel’s gonna be here any minute. Oh, right. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hey, hey, what are you doing? This was the plan, remember? Oh, yeah, yeah. Yes, yes, yes. Rachel was gonna come in here, get her permission slip signed. Oh, yeah. And then she was gonna see us together. Yes. And then she was gonna tell Brady that you and I were cuddling.

Cuddling, huh? Yeah. Well, that’s what she’ll call it, I assume. And hopefully Brady will, uh, get the idea. I think Brady’s going to assume that we were having a passionate affair. Yeah? Oh, indeed. And he will be a salmon. Correctly, won’t he? Indeed. Huh, that’s weird. This bed’s made. And there are no piles of clothes on the floor from the night before.

Is it possible? You already left for work? Good morning to

you too. Get in there. Alex is going to work. Yes, he has. What do you want? I need your help, Theresa. You need my help? What happened? Did Nike figure out you’re not really such a catch and that you’re really after her money? She had me sign a prenup. Wow. Well, I guess you’re screwed. Can’t really steal Victor’s money from her now, huh?

Oh, I will get this fortune one way or the other. I did not come all this way or go through all this trouble only to, to lose what I came for.

Your parents must have been so excited when you told them you were coming home. They were. They’re both really excited. And my mom, she just, she can’t wait to meet Trip in person. I bet. There’s a big difference between video chatting with your kids and hugging them in real life. Huge difference. Yeah. Well, I want you to know that I am So happy that the two of you found each other.

I mean, he really is crazy about you. Oh, I feel the same way about him. And Tripp is a great guy. I’m very lucky. He’s lucky too. And I think this time away from Salem is going to be great for you too. And just know that you always, always have a home here.

So? Sexy. What do you think? Yeah? I think yeah. Yeah? Yeah. I don’t think it’s too small. Uh. a velvet smoking jacket or anything like that? No, Alex, I do not have a velvet smoking jacket. Good. And anyway, well, uh, so the idea that you and I slept together when Rachel sees you in Mommy’s robe. In Mommy’s robe?

Well, like I said. Uh. Uh. We said, I don’t think it’s gonna be a very tough sell. Mm hmm. Mm. It’s funny. I thought for a while that Brady was the only man I had eyes for. Yeah. Same. For me. And Teresa. Yeah? Mm hmm. Well, I know a plan to make our prospective partners jealous. Took a slight detour last night. And again, and again, and this morning.

Oh, this morning. Again, and again. And I’m telling you, I’m not complaining. No, neither am I. Good. Mmm. Mmm. I don’t know, Dad. Maybe, maybe Kristen is finally, you know, mellowing. Maybe she realizes that Rachel needs a father in her life. Well, for your sake, I hope that’s true. And as much as I hate to be a cynic here, I’m pretty sure that Her being open to You spending more time with Rachel is just another ploy to reel you back in.

Alright, Dad, you know, You’re probably right. Alright, you’re probably right, but She’s wasting her time because there’s no way I’m ever, I’m ever gonna get back together with that woman. She’s gonna have to give me up. Period. Very much in the same way that she had to give you up back then. No, no, no, no, no, no.

You never had a child together. Big difference between the two of you.

I know. Unfortunately, I am. I’m always gonna have Kristen in my life.

Forgive me, I’m just a little bit puzzled. Not about why Maggie would want the prenup, I mean, why the hell would she, but about how you didn’t foresee this happening. I did not come here to be mocked, Teresa, or judged. I need your help. My help? Yes! Okay, you know that if I so much as mention this to Maggie, she’s gonna suspect that you and I were in cahoots together.

Secondly, you’ve already signed the damn prenup! Then find another Another way. Yes. Okay, let me think. Uh, G, let’s see. Shall I just make the prenup, poof, disappear into thin air? Is that what you want me to do? Actually, it is.

Can you believe that Guangzhou has a population of over 19 million people? I mean, that’s more than New York and Los Angeles combined. Oh, I have a friend who lives there and loves it. Like, she did a study abroad there and just never left. You know, we should go visit her. Yeah. Oh. I’ll get it. Okay. Hey, Ava.

Hey. Well,

we weren’t expecting you. I, I invited her. Um, the reason I didn’t tell you guys is because, well, Mom, you weren’t sure you were going to come. You thought you were just going to say bye to us later. Yeah, I wasn’t sure. But then I decided that it was important for me to share this time with all of you. I hope that’s okay.

Well, come on in.

I’m glad you can make it, Mom. Yeah, I’m just so happy I can be here at my son’s farewell.

Okay. You know, I don’t get it. I don’t get it. I mean, Rachel was supposed to come in here and have her permission slip signed, and then Brady didn’t show up. I mean, what the hell is going on? Well, maybe Rachel overslept. No, no, no. She wouldn’t do that. She’s, um, too excited for her field trip this morning.

And, uh, even if she did oversleep, Brady would have called me. Yeah, but I mean, maybe Brady just I don’t know. Stop by, pick her up, sign the permission slip. No, he can’t do that as a non custodial parent. He just can’t do that. I’m gonna go find out what’s going on.

All right, just because Kristen and I share a child, look, we’ll always be connected that way. I get that, but that doesn’t mean that, excuse me. Kristen? Well, where are you? I’m at the pub. With my dad and with Rachel, we’re having breakfast. We’re about to go on the field trip. What? What? You already picked her up?

Obviously. Well, Brady, you need to get back here. What for? Well, because the permission slip, I never signed it. Rachel said that you did. Hey, honey, honey, um, Ami said that she never signed the permission slip. I know. I did. What? You, uh, you forged her signature? You’re not gonna tell my teacher, are you? We

do have a few errands to run at the square before we head to the airport. Are you sure we can’t drive you? Dad, no, no, no, no. We already put the rideshare. Oh, we are not letting you make that long drive. What? I would love to run your errands with you. I mean, if that is okay. Oh, of course.

I guess, uh, I guess this is goodbye. For now, anyway. I’m really gonna miss you,

buddy. I’m gonna miss you too, Dad. Wendy. You make sure he doesn’t get into too much trouble, okay? I’ll do my best. And please, you tell your parents that our hearts are with them for everything that they have been through. And they are so lucky that they have such a wonderful and caring daughter. I feel lucky to have such loving, caring parents.

And I know Tripp feels the same way about all of you guys. Which That’s why I also know what a huge sacrifice it is for him to come with me. No. No, it’s not a sacrifice. Okay, I want to be with you. I want to get to know your friends and family over there. Maybe feel closer to you. Plus, we’ll be back here a lot.

Right. Yeah. Well, you better be. Yeah. Tripp, I just, I just want you to know how much I love you. When everybody sings your praises at the hospital about what a wonderful doctor you are, I just want you to know I am so proud of you.

I am so proud to be related to the Chief of Staff. Who everyone pretty much worships there. That is not true. But, Very kind of you. Anyway,

You know, we’ll, We’ll chat a lot, you know, talk on the phone a lot. We’ll do all that, all of it. And hey, maybe we’ll take a trip to Hong Kong ourselves someday to visit you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, me too. Please, you must. You guys will always have a place in my parents home. Ah, thank you, Mindy. So, you ready? Yeah.

Thank you again for such a great breakfast. You’re welcome. Well, safe travels. Don’t leave me, Dad. Caleb. Oh, gosh, I love you so much. It’s gonna be great. It’s gonna be great.

Wendy. Take good care of them, huh? Please. Of course.

That boy has my heart. He reminds me so much of you. Oh, I really love that guy. I know you do, baby. So do I.

So, what happened? Oh, well, Rachel is with Brady. Oh. Yeah. The little rascal, she forged my signature on the permission slip. Oh, well, chip off the old block. Yeah, she is, I’m afraid so. Well, now that she’s with Brady having breakfast, they’ll be off to the field trip. Oh. Yeah. So, we missed our opportunity. For Rachel to see us cuddling and report it back to daddy.

Oh yeah, completely. We missed our opportunity. So does that mean all this cuddling was for nothing? Oh, I wouldn’t say that. I mean, just because our plan didn’t serve a purpose, it, uh, is it ever for nothing when you’ve had a fantastic, life farthing, exciting time? No, I suppose not. Oh, well, you know what?

Rachel’s not going to be here for a while. And you’re in no rush, are you? My morning happens to be wide open. Get over here!

Sweetie, you know that it’s wrong to forge a signature, right? We’re just going to learn to do that anyway. I practiced. You practiced? Okay, well, well, well, forging a signature is a crime. And if you don’t get caught? Wow, you’re sounding more like your mother all the time. Listen, you, Rachel, your mother’s done some things that landed her in prison.

So I know you don’t want that. I don’t want that for you either. So from now on, look at me. No more forging. No more doing things just because you think they’re okay. And you’re not going to get caught. Okay, no more. You hear me? Okay, Daddy. You don’t have to get mad though. I, I think I do have to get mad because otherwise you won’t know that it’s wrong.

Okay? So we need to understand now that’s settled. You know what? I gotta, I gotta get back to the office. Um, listen, squirt, I want you to listen to your daddy, okay? Because not only is he smart. But he also only wants what’s best for you. I know. I know you know. I love you, pumpkin. And I’ll see you real soon.

And I’ll see you soon, kid. Bye, Dad. Hey. Finish your breakfast. Okay, but first I have a question. What’s your question? Do you have a girlfriend?

I’m sorry, did I hear you right? You want me to break into the Kiriakis safe. What do you think I am, Catwoman? You are a natural. You will find a way. Find a way? Even still, did it occur to you that there’s probably a digital copy sitting on Maggie’s lawyer’s hard drive? Actually, there is not. I signed it the old fashioned way with a pen.

I saw her put the only executed copy in the safe. Well, even so, I’m not going to help you with this part of the plan. No way in hell. Then securing Victor’s fortune goes up in smoke, as does our entire plan. Which means you not only lose the money, but you lose Alex and Brady, not to mention the respect of your son.

I hope you understand what is at stake here for you, Teresa. And you would be well advised to never say no to me again.

Oh,

before we go, I’m gonna go get some of those luggage trackers. I don’t want our bags to somehow end up in like New Delhi and then we have no clue where they are. That’s a great idea, thanks. I’ll be right back. Um, Trep, honey, is there, is there anything that I can do for you before you go? No, I think I’m good.

Thanks, though, Mom. No. Oh, God, I’m gonna miss you. I’ll be back. I’m not falling off the face of the Earth. I know, but Ah, Tripp.

Even though you were taken away from me when you were a baby, God, ever since you were born, you’re such a big part of my heart. And you know, coming back from the brink of death and making amends, having you back in my life, It is been my greatest joy. I love you so much. I love you too, mom. And I know you know this, but maybe I haven’t said it enough.

I am so, so sorry for the harm that I caused you. I know it wasn’t easy for you to find out that you were the son of a mafia princess. You have left that world behind. I’m really proud of you for that. Yeah, well, I don’t deserve you being proud of me, but

God, as long as you love me, and you know that I love and respect you, it’s everything for me.

Oh, baby. You know, all I’ve ever wanted for you is for you to be happy. And to be at peace with yourself.

I’ll do more for you too. So please, while I’m gone, stay out of trouble. For me, okay? I will. For you. Oh God, I promise you. Girlfriend?

Why would you ask me that? Because mommy has a boyfriend. Yeah, I know. I know his name is Alex. How do you feel about that? I don’t know. He seems nice. Yeah. I think I know why you asked me what you asked me.

Honey, I know you want Mommy and I to be together. And I want you to know that even though we’re not right for each other, That has nothing to do with you, okay?

I’m serious. I’ve told you this before and I’m going to tell you this again, sweetie, that no matter what your mom and I are going through, even though we might not be together, we love you with all of our hearts. You are the most important thing to me. The most important thing, and you always will be, okay?

Oh.

Alex. Hi. Theresa, hi. Hey. What are you, um, Are you, you’re, Are you in the same clothes as yesterday? Um, yes. Yes, I am. And you didn’t come home last night. Right. I did not. Hmm. This plane hasn’t even taken off and I’m already missing my boy. I know. I feel the same way. But I do think that Tripp made the right decision for himself.

And that he and Wendy are going to have an exciting, wonderful time. I know they will. But baby, uh, with everything that’s been going on in my life lately, I think maybe Tripp would be better off not being around me. You know? No, I, I don’t. What are you talking about?

I’m talking about Constantine blaming me for taking the pawn to Arya. Blaming me for his daughter’s death. And I can’t shake the feeling that Jon bought into it. Stay. But I don’t blame him. I don’t blame him because if I hadn’t taken that job, With Victor, if I had been strong enough to say no, that young woman would be alive right now.

She isn’t.

Yeah, it’s open.

Constantine, what can I do for you?

So, do you have everything? Wallet, passports? I do, yeah. Do you? Uh, I do. Everything about you? And Wayne, in a grey sedan, is about two minutes away. I’ll marry you.

You ready to do this? Definitely. Before I’m with you. I’m ready for anything. I love you so much, Wendy. I love you too.

So, how many movies do you think we can watch before we land? Four? Five? Well, I was going to start with Naughty Hill, of course. And then I was thinking maybe Bridesmaids? Oh, have you seen Train to Busan? It’s Korean, it’s about a zombie apocalypse on a train. Okay, yeah, I’m down.

Shall we?

Where were you, Alex? Why do you care? We’re just roommates after all, right? Wait a second.

Okay, please do not tell me that you were with Kristen DiMera. Please do not tell me that. Okay, I don’t know why any of that would matter. It’s completely irrelevant who I was with, where I was, and why I was there. Because it’s none of your business. Oh my God. Oh my God, you were with her? Really? How could you do that?

How could you do that after everything that she’s done to me? After everything that two timing bitch has put me through? Okay, I’m not gonna get into this with you, Teresa. After all, this is on you. How the hell is this on me? Because you’re the one who said you wanted to keep it strictly platonic between us, and you got it.

So, my love life is my business, and my business alone. Fine, yes, I did. I did say that. And so technically, I shouldn’t feel angry or jealous, but I do, I do feel all those things. Theresa.

Look, I, uh, I have to shower and run to the office. I have a huge meeting with London in the morning. Maybe we can pick up on this a little bit after. Yeah?

Alex, it’s me. I’m, um, just lying here in my bed, thinking about you and your gorgeous body. And, uh, how you sort of just take control. Well, anyway, I had a marvelous time. And I think that you and I are on the same page. Our plan didn’t go as we hoped, but I think it went a whole lot better.

I’d like to see you again, Alex. Again, and again. And again.

Let’s go. Dad? Yeah? I’m really happy you’re coming on this field trip with me. You know what? I’m happy to do anything with you. Anytime. Anytime. Let’s go see some fish. You’re obviously very upset by this. I think you need to call John. You need to have a conversation and let him know your take on this. On the, on the accusation from Constantine that you’re responsible for the loss of his daughter, which I know is not true.

And I think in your heart of hearts, you know it’s not true. Why don’t you just give him a call and clear the air?

I guess I can do that

Given john enough space I could Call him and let him know how I feel about all this

I am looking for steve. Is he around? No. He took the morning off to spend a little time with his family. I don’t know. Then, uh, I shall be on my way. That sounds good.

Don’t let Steve know.

There you are, my pawn. Now listen very closely to every word I say. Because I have an extremely important mission for you.

[ Dramatic music ]

Deacon: We gotta get over there right now.

Finn: Look, we don’t know what’s in that building.

Deacon: Sheila! Sheila could be over there.

Finn: You’re sure you saw that woman go into the building?

Tom: Oh, absolutely. I never forget a face.

Deacon: You heard screaming coming from over there?

Tom: Until it stopped. Hear a lot of weird things around here.

Finn: Do you know what’s in that building?

Tom: Beats me. It’s been vacant since before I was here. I was told to stay away from that building. It’d be wise to do the same.

[ Gunshots ]

[ Tires screeching ] Well, good luck, fellas. You’re gonna need it.

[ Police siren wailing ]

Deacon: We doing this?

Finn: We don’t have a choice. There’s a chance that sheila’s in that building, we need to go.

Deacon: Yeah. Let’s go.

Ridge: Well, I gotta tell you, I’m impressed with hope and her team. They didn’t miss a beat with thomas taking a little time off.

Brooke: Hopefully, it stays that way.

Ridge: Zende, rj, they’re doing a great job. What a great team they are. And, um, I don’t know. Maybe that is the future of forrester. What do you think, steffy? Hey. Hi.

Steffy: Oh, hi. Yes, um…

Ridge: Where’d you go?

Steffy: I– I was thinking about finn. I mean, he was… he was pretty quiet last night and this morning. We didn’t have time to get into it, I, uh… I just hope he’s okay.

Liam: Deacon is usually here for the lunch rush.

Bill: Were you hoping to get our meals comped by your ex-lowlife-in-law?

Liam: Maybe if I were alone.

Bill: Meaning not with me.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah, the guy who tried to lure sheila to prison?

Bill: Prison was way too good for that animal. Not to mention a waste of taxpayer money keeping her locked up. Definitely better off dead.

Liam: Well, on the bright side, we get to come here as often as we want without running into her.

Bill: Mm. I’ll drink to that.

[ Bill chuckles ]

Liam: Did you get a chance to look over that contract I sent you?

Bill: Yeah. How’d you come to agree to those terms?

Liam: Oh, well, it’s this new trick I’ve been trying. I call it honesty and plain dealing.

[ Bill pretends to vomit ] The truth is, they were already psyched about the multimedia strategy. All I had to do was convince them it ain’t gonna come cheap.

Bill: Great job.

Liam: Well, thank you. I guess I’M… I don’t know. My priorities are narrowing. I’m just focused on my kids and my career right now.

Bill: Glad to hear it.

Liam: Yeah. So are steffy and hope. Waffling back and forth between the two of them all those years, it wasn’t good for them, but it also wasn’t good for me. And I… I don’t want to do that anymore.

Bill: I’ll drink to that, too.

Ridge: So, you are worried about finn.

Steffy: Just a weird feeling.

Brooke: Because he’s been quiet?

Steffy: Like there’s something on his mind.

Ridge: I know. We all have that, right? Is it… did you ask him about it?

Steffy: I just figured it was, you know, work or a patient, but I can’t stop thinking about it. I always know when something’s off with finn, even when I have no idea what it is.

[ Deacon coughs ]

Finn: Tried looking up the address in here, but no reception. I don’t know–

Deacon: Sheila!

Finn: What this place is.

Deacon: Sheila! I’m gonna open this.

[ Deacon grunts ] Sheila!

Finn: She’s not here.

Deacon: We’re going to search everything inch of this place.

Finn: Let’s go.

Deacon: Sheila!

Finn: Sheila?

Deacon: Sheila! (Angie) tobacco companies

Bill: Listen, I am all for your newfound focus on work and family.

Liam: Yeah, you are. And it’s good for spencer’s bottom line, if nothing else.

Bill: Well, it is good for you personally as well, liam. And that’s just as important.

Liam: Yeah, but not just me. It’s good for hope, too. She’s doing the same thing in her own life.

Bill: Yeah. Interesting coincidence, isn’t it?

Liam: Yeah, interesting, maybe. Surprising, no. I mean, not if you look at the state our lives were in when our marriage ended. We’re both just spinning our wheels, right? We’re both looking for a new– a new purpose, identity.

Bill: So, do you think this, um, newfound shared perspective could mean you guys getting back together?

Liam: I don’t– we’re just not thinking about that right now.

Bill: Look, um, I– I know that you want to stop this waffling back and forth–

Liam: Yeah.

Bill: Between hope and steffy and I totally get that, but, um, given that you you seem to be sharing the same mindset with hope, don’t you think that down the road, it could mean something else?

Liam: Okay, look, listen, I– you know, at this stage in my life, I know better than to say never. But right now, right now, my priority is just being the best father I can be. That means I’m prioritizing beth and kelly.

Bill: Followed closely by spencer publications.

Liam: Look at this face. Is this not a dedicated face? I’m dedicated.

[ Bill laughs ]

Bill: You are dedicated. And I think it’s just amazing. I mean, it shows a lot of maturity and self awareness on your part.

Liam: Thanks, dad.

Bill: You clearly are following the example set by your old man.

[ Liam laughs ]

Liam: I will be serious for a moment and say that it means a lot to me that you’ve always had my back.

Bill: Yeah, well, I always will. Now, listen. You know, you can beat yourself up about this waffling thing, but it’s not how I see it. I can’t hate on you for falling in love with two incredible women. Let me remind you that they loved you right back. And for good reason.

Steffy: I don’t want to make this more than it is.

Ridge: You’re not. Look, if something seems off with finn, then…

Brooke: But he would tell you if something was wrong.

Steffy: Yeah. I don’t want to read too much into it, actually. No, we’ve been, uh, we’ve been good. We’ve been talking and sharing our feelings. It’s just last night and this morning, he seemed… quiet. Sitting on the couch, staring at– at nothing. It’s– it’s probably nothing. Like I said, it– it really is– I’m sure it’s– it’s work. What do you think?

Ridge: I’m– I’m sure that’s what it is.

Steffy: It’s just the last time I had this feeling… it had something to do with sheila.

Finn: Sheila?

Deacon: Sheila?

Finn: Smells awful in here.

Deacon: Yeah, it does. It’s like something died. Sheila!

Finn: Sheila! You heard what that guy said, the building’s been empty for a long time. No idea what’s in here.

Deacon: Sheila, it’s deacon! Where are you? Can you hear me?

Finn: Sheila! Hey, whoa, what’s that over there?

[ Mouse squeaking ]

Deacon: Place is probably crawling with rats. I hate rats. Can you hold this for me? Thank you.

[ Deacon grunts ]

Finn: Sheila! Sheila, where are you?

Bill: All right, I want you to listen to your dad. Having two families is a blessing, not something to feel guilty about. You call it waffling, but that’s not how I see it.

Liam: Yeah, but you’re a little biased.

Bill: No, what I see is a man who has never shirked his responsibilities. You’ve always stood up and been there for the people that you love. It– it wasn’t indecision, liam. You just couldn’t be everywhere you wanted to be all at once.

Liam: Ah… I really appreciate that that’s your perspective, but the fact is, it wasn’t fair to hope or steffy and I respect them too much to keep doing this, to keep… choosing between them and then changing my mind. I’ll give you this. Not a day goes by I’m not grateful for the families I’ve created with them. So, I must have done something right.

Steffy: I hate even having to say her name. I wish we could just forget about sheila.

Ridge: Wish granted. Let’s forget about her. I’ve forgotten about her. We’ve forgotten about her. It’s done.

Brooke: What about finn? Has he forgotten about her? I mean, you said he’s been quiet.

Steffy: It’s– it’s probably nothing,

Brooke: But your gut says otherwise.

Steffy: There’s no way this could be about sheila.

Ridge: No, it can’T. You know why? Because sheila is dead. She’s gone. Out of our lives forever.

[ Creaking ]

Deacon: What the hell was that? Sheila, can you hear us?

Finn: Sheila!

Deacon: Look, if this is the place, she’s been here for weeks. What kind of shape is she in?

Finn: Look, we can’t give up.

[ Deacon sighs ]

Deacon: I’m not giving up, I’m just being realistic.

Finn: Sheila! You hear us?

Deacon: Sheila! There’s a door.

[ Door lock clicking ]

[ Deacon sighs ] It’s locked. Um, would you stand over there for a second?

[ Deacon grunting ]

Finn: Whoa, you see that?

Deacon: What?

Finn: There’s something down there. Look. Give damaged hair deep repair.

Bill: I applaud your good intentions, and I support them. But liam, being mister happy single guy might be tougher than you think.

Liam: It’s not that tough. What, I don’t look happy to you? I could be happy.

Bill: No, you look great. You look great. But every time we get together, inevitably, the conversation turns to hope and steffy. I mean, you have to have noticed that, right?

Liam: Oh, uh–

Bill: And, look, I’m not hating on you. I’m not giving you a hard time.

Liam: No, no, but you’re right. You’re right, and it’s just… it’s just– it’s ’cause I want to change, right? I want to do better. I want to start treating both hope and steffy with the respect they deserve.

Bill: Well, you do that by appreciating both of them for who they are, right? I mean, you’re talking about two accomplished, intelligent, beautiful women. Great mothers.

Liam: Yeah.

Bill: And hope is just a very kind and forgiving person.

Liam: Yeah. Steffy is, too.

Bill: Yeah, she is. She is. And, well, steffy brought something different to your life.

Liam: Oh, no. Yeah, no doubt. I mean, a sense of excitement and adventure. I mean, every– every day was a new experience with steffy. I’m– listen, I’m grateful to have spent even a portion of my life with steffy. And further, I’m grateful I get to stay in her life now, just as co parents for kelly. Right? But… steffy’s totally committed to finn. And now with sheila gone, nothing’s gonna tear those two apart.

Ridge: There’s no question what happened that night. Sheila’s dead. She’s gone. And I know that still plays with your emotions a lot.

Steffy: Yeah, it’s a hard memory to shake.

Ridge: I believe that.

Steffy: I’m just glad she’s gone. God, I was so jumpy that night.

[ Gushing wind ] It was because of the storm. And then I heard a noise, and I…

[ Door creaking ] I went to check it out, and that’s when the power went out. Went to go look for some candles… and I saw the shadow. Oh, god. My heart stopped. It was her. And I told her to get out. And then she reached in her pocket, and… I thought she had a gun. I thought she was gonna shoot me again. So, I went to grab the knife. And she lunged at me, and that’s when it was over. I remember looking down and just seeing… seeing her there. And– and the blood. Realizing I… I killed her. Sheila carter was dead.

Ridge: Come here.

Steffy: Oh, god.

Finn: Sheila! Sheila!

Deacon: Hey, listen. Let’s split up. I’m gonna go that way, you go that way, all right?

Finn: Okay.

[ Heart beating ]

Sheila: I love you so much, finn.

Steffy: Sheila’s a monster.

Sheila: I love you so much, finn. I’m your first home, your first everything.

Steffy: She shot us. Sheila’s a monster, finn.

[ Heart beating faster ]

Finn: Deacon, hurry up! Get in here! Deacon!

Deacon: What do you got?

[ Deacon grunts ]

Finn: My god…

Deacon: Sheila!

Finn: Mom… mom!

Adam: Hey.

Chelsea: I just got a call from the doctor. Connor wants to talk to us.

Adam: Yeah, I, uh, I got the same message.

Chelsea: Yeah, this is a big step.

Adam: Yeah, considering a week ago he didn’t wanna have any communication with us at all.

Chelsea: Right, um, but we can’t make this bigger than it is.

Adam: I’m not.

Chelsea: Right, well, you tend to do that. Sometimes, adam, you know, you project things the way you want them to be without realizing this is a process. You know, this is just the beginning. We have to tread carefully so connor doesn’t tune us out.

Adam: And are we now talking about me or are we talking about you?

Chelsea: Both. We can’t screw this up. There’s too much at stake.

Nikki: Oh, jack! I’m so happy that harrison is home. Is he okay?

Jack: Doctors checked him out. Physically, he’s fine. Time will tell about everything else.

Nikki: Poor little baby.

Jack: He keeps calling jordan “the mean lady” and “the witch.” Not that we’re encouraging him to talk about it.

Nikki: Oh! It’s lucky we got him back when we did.

Jack: How are you doing? Any news on claire?

Nikki: Uh, no, but victoria got a call last night that she thought could’ve been claire.

Jack: Maybe they found her?

Nikki: Unfortunately, no.

Jack: Oh, this is agony. I am so sorry.

Nikki: Yeah, so am I. For ever thinking that claire had anything to do with this.

Michael: So that was the one word you could make out?

Cole: “Mom.”

Michael: And you’re sure the call was from claire?

[ Victoria sighs ]

Victoria: It was muffled, but it had to be her.

Michael: And no chance this was something arranged by jordan before her demise?

Victoria: Michael, it was claire.

Victor: It wasn’t from a landline. And they’re checking all the cell towers right now. It’s gonna take some time.

Victoria: Well, that’s time that we don’t have, dad. What if claire’s hurt and that’s why she didn’t call us back?

Victor: Sweetheart–

Victoria: We have to find her. We have to do something.

Adam: You’re right. And it’s good that you’re reminding both of us that we need to move slowly. But I–

[ Chelsea groans ]

Chelsea: I hate when you say “but.” It makes me very nervous.

Adam: I was just gonna say, chelsea, that I could use any good news right now.

Chelsea: Of course. So could I. What are you doing?

Adam: I’m setting up the video call.

Chelsea: Adam, can you just wait one second? I think that we should go over the guidelines the doctor suggested. Things to avoid talking about. Words that could be triggering for connor.

Adam: Okay. Gotta have the rules.

Chelsea: There are these things called reassurances we’re supposed to avoid, which seems really weird because as a parent, all you wanna do is reassure your child. But the doctor says that they will only feed and validate his fears, so we have to avoid that.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Okay. I got it. No reassuring. Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: I’m sorry. Am I boring you, adam?

Adam: No. You’re just telling me things that I already know.

Chelsea: Okay. Then I’ll repeat them to myself. Because I’m crawling out of my skin, and I would appreciate it if you didn’t get offended by every damn thing I say.

Adam: I’m sorry. Okay? You’re right.

Chelsea: We are both nervous. We both have a lot at stake, okay? But I have to know that we’re gonna be a team. Adam, we have to be.

Adam: We are a team. And just so you know, I’m not taking offense. It’s just– it’s my way, you know?

Chelsea: Yeah. Your defense mechanism is anger. Mine is, um, quiet panic and anxiety. None of which are any good for our son.

Adam: And I hear you, chelsea. This– it’s all about connor. Okay? We have the rules, and we can do this. You ready?

Chelsea: Let’s, uh– let’s make the call.

Cole: Well, there could be a whole other explanation for claire not calling back. Maybe the phone died. It’s possible, isn’t it?

Victoria: But cole, she sounded panicked and desperate.

Michael: Do you think claire knows about jordan?

Victor: I doubt it. We kept the press out of it.

Michael: Then she could be unaware that harrison’s been rescued?

Cole: What are you getting at?

Michael: I’m fond of claire. You know that. I’ve defended her in the past. But this is a girl who’s spent her entire life doing jordan’s bidding.

Victoria: Are you saying that she still is?

Michael: No, I didn’t say that.

Victoria: Well, it certainly sounds like you’re implying that, michael.

Michael: I’m merely laying out possibilities. If claire still believes jordan has harrison, then that phone call last night could’ve been a smokescreen, could’ve been part of a plan.

Cole: To what end?

Michael: To divide us, to distract us.

Victoria: Didn’t you hear what harrison said about jordan hurting claire?

Michael: Again, that could’ve been jordan and claire putting on an act for an impressionable little boy.

Cole: Wait a minute. Are you serious right now? Because this whole train of thought is a distraction. It’s a complete waste of our time.

Michael: I’m simply trying to manage expectations.

Cole: We don’t need you to manage anything, okay? Our daughter is missing. She could be in terrible danger. And the only thing I wanna hear from anyone right now is how do we get her back?

Michael: All right. I’m sorry. Sometimes my lawyerly skill at arguing both ends of an issue are– well, it’s inappropriate. Please forgive me.

Victor: Let’s calm down. All we know is that claire’s alive. That is more than we knew before.

Victoria: But where? Where, dad? The one person who might be able to tell us is dead.

Jack: Yeah, I’m sorry I doubted claire, too, but given her background and who she was raised with, I had trouble believing she could turn everything around so quickly.

Nikki: Yeah, it was hard for all of us, except for victoria. She just always knew.

Jack: Mothers and daughters.

Nikki: Yeah, I’m sure victoria wishes her mother could be more helpful.

Jack: Wait, why do you say things like that?

Nikki: I don’t know. I just feel particularly useless.

Jack: I guarantee you, victoria does not see you that way.

Nikki: No. She sees me as a fragile flower that needs to be watched all the time. She knows I’ve been drinking again. I denied it, of course, but she knows. I just hate that I am so damn weak. I’m so damn weak!

Jack: You are one of the strongest people I have ever known.

Nikki: I certainly don’t feel that way right now.

Jack: Because you’ve just been put through hell, nikki. You have endured things that would bring most people to their knees, and you are still standing. And piling more blame and stress on yourself is not the answer.

Nikki: The stress I can handle. It’s the guilt that’s overwhelming.

Jack: The guilt? What guilt?

Nikki: Jordan. All of this.

Jack: Why would any part of you blame yourself for what jordan did?

Nikki: Because none of it should have happened, jack. Claire and harrison would not have been kidnapped if it weren’t for me.

Summer: What do you mean, grandma? What did you do? When my doctor gave me breztri for my copd Harry & david makes mother’s day easy. Share a gift, made with love, with the mom in your life. Choose from hundreds of stunning baskets and towers. It’s the perfect way to say thank you – for everything. Harry & david. Life is a gift. Share more. At tj maxx, you can afford to turn your closet

Chelsea: Hi! Connor, it’s so good to see your face.

Adam: Hey, buddy. How’s it going?

Connor: It’s going okay, I guess.

Adam: What have you been up to? I mean, have you made any friends? Is the, uh– the therapy working out?

Connor: Maybe. I don’t know.

Adam: Well, you must know if you’re feeling better, right? I mean, why don’t you tell us about the doctor? Do you feel he’s someone that you can talk to?

Chelsea: Hey, you know what? Your dad is anxious to know all these things because he loves you and misses you so much. We both do. That’s why we have all these questions. But you just take your time. Whenever you’re ready to tell us, we’re here to listen.

Jack: Your grandmother feels horrible about what has happened to harrison, but she is in no way responsible for the actions of a psychopath.

Nikki: Thank you for trying to protect me, jack. But there’s more to it than that. None of this would have happened if I had made different choices.

Summer: What do you mean? What choices?

Nikki: When jordan took that poison in front of us, claire asked if we should even bother saving her life.

Summer: Claire was willing to let her aunt die?

Nikki: Oh, yes. I mean, she has known her aunt her whole life. She knows how evil she is and all the things that jordan did to her and to many other people. Claire didn’t think that anyone else should have to suffer like that.

Summer: I– I guess I’m surprised to hear that.

Nikki: Because you thought that claire was involved in harrison’s kidnapping. That crossed my mind as well. But I now know that claire was once again jordan’s victim. And I set it all into motion by calling 911 and let her live.

Summer: Grandma, I– I don’t understand. After everything that jordan did to you, did to our family, why– why would her life mean anything to you?

Nikki: Trust me, I’ve asked myself that so many times. And in the end, I simply couldn’t let her die in front of us. And letting her go out on her own terms seemed like letting her win. I wanted her to face her punishment. I– I didn’t know that she was going to escape again and then bring more chaos to our family. But if you’re looking for someone to blame, blame me. I’m sorry, summer. You have every reason to hate me for this.

Victor: Look, you all, jordan is exactly where she should be. We’ll find claire and she will be where she should be. But we won’t give up.

Victoria: I’m not giving up. I’m just tired of sitting around here doing nothing, waiting for the phone to ring.

[ Victoria sighs ] Look, cole and I were talking on the way up here, and we want to go to the motel where jordan held harrison.

Victor: But sweetheart, the cops have combed through that hotel. Up and down. They found nothing that leads to claire.

Victoria: Dad, maybe they didn’t know what to look for. They don’t know claire. We do.

[ Victor exhales ]

Victor: All right. You two go down there, do what you have to do, and, uh, I’ll see to it that no one interferes with you.

Cole: Thank you, victor.

Victoria: Thank you.

Michael: You’ll run that by me again, victor?

Victor: Run what by you again?

Michael: How exactly did jordan die? My mental health was better.

Chelsea: Why don’t you tell us how you’re adjusting to the new place?

Connor: Well, the main doctor’s pretty cool. She gets it, you know?

Chelsea: Gets what, honey?

Connor: My moods, stuff like that. Things she calls disassociations.

Adam: Whoa, that’s a– that’s a mouthful.

Connor: Like, sometimes I don’t remember things, and I get all mad at myself and frustrated. But the doctor says that’s just my brain going, “nope, not going there.”

Chelsea: So it’s– it’s kind of like you get overwhelmed?

Connor: Yeah, but more. The doc says that some people with ocd have that, so they’re teaching me to slow down and recognize when it happens and not to get so impatient with myself.

Adam: Mmm.

Chelsea: Yeah, but, you know, that– that happens to me too sometimes. It’s like my mind races ahead, and I suddenly forget where I’m even going.

Connor: Really?

Chelsea: Yeah. Oh, yeah. So I just have to slow down and regroup. I– I think it’s called, um, staying in the moment.

Connor: And just dealing with it no matter how hard it is.

Chelsea: Exactly.

Adam: I mean, I– I don’t know, I– I– I get that, yes, but does everything have to be a struggle? I mean, isn’t it okay to sometimes, you know, check out when the world is coming at you at 100 miles an hour?

Connor: No, dad, you can’T.

Adam: Okay, well, I just meant that–

Connor: The doctors told me that it’s called reassuring. It’s like saying the ocd part of my brain is doing all the right things. Like it’s normal. But it’s not. It just makes the ocd dig in harder.

Adam: You see, there I go again. Connor, there– there’s just– a lot of this stuff you’re gonna have to explain to me, because, um, your hard-headed old man already thinks he knows everything. So whenever I open my big mouth, just go like this, okay?

Connor: I can do that.

Jack: I’m sure summer doesn’t blame you for what happened. She holds one person responsible. Jordan.

Nikki: Is that right, summer?

Jack: You– you know what? I think you and I should get out of here and get to a meeting.

Nikki: Uh, I wish I could, but I have another appointment.

Jack: More important than a meeting?

Nikki: I’m meeting with lauren. We have a lot of newman media work to do.

Jack: Your family has been through hell, nikki. Claire is still missing. Work can wait. Come on.

Nikki: But– but it helps me to not think about everything, and I desperately need that, even if it’s just for an hour. I– I will go to a meeting afterwards. I promise.

Jack: Okay. Okay.

Nikki: It’s okay to blame me, honey. I blame myself.

Summer: No. Jack’s right. Jordan is the only person responsible.

Nikki: Thank you for that. Please give harrison a hug from me. I’m– I’m so grateful that he’s home.

Summer: I will.

Jack: I’ll walk you out.

Summer: I’ll see myself out.

[ Door clicks open ]

Victoria: You know, I’m trying, but I just cannot wrap my brain around this. How someone could terrorize a child.

Cole: This is the same woman who raised ours.

Victoria: That makes me sick just thinking about it. What is it?

Cole: Nothing.

Victoria: You can tell me. It’s okay.

Cole: Remember back at the house? When you brought up losing baby eve? Claire? All those years ago. It just took me right back there. And I remember being sad, heartbroken, just like you. We never had the chance to be with her. We never knew her. It was almost like she wasn’t real. But she’s very real. And I would literally walk the length of the earth to bring her back. I would– I would exchange my life for hers in a heartbeat. And never, ever, have I had that feeling… about anyone.

Victoria: It’s called being a parent.

Cole: Yeah. I know that now.

Victoria: Sometimes it, you know, can feel like it’s a bit too much.

Cole: Claire is the greatest gift that I’ve ever received in my life. And when we find her, I’m gonna bring her home. I’m gonna hold her tight. And I’m gonna tell her that nobody’s ever gonna hurt her again. That her father will always be there to protect her.

[ Cole sighs ] For people who feel limited

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Connor: I’m playing

soccer again.

Chelsea: Oh.

Adam: Yeah? That’s great.

Connor: I’m pretty bad at it

’cause I haven’t played

in a while, but my friend mike

likes to run drills,

so I figured, “why not?”

Chelsea: Yeah, you– you made a new friend?

Connor: Yeah.

Mike’s pretty cool.

Adam: And is his– his treatment like yours?

Connor: Privacy, dad.

Adam: Yes, of course. Uh, well, thank you for the heads up.

Chelsea: Yeah, it sounds like you’re in the right place.

Connor: It’s all right here.

I just want to get better

soon and come home.

Adam: And we want that too. You know, we miss you, and we love you so much.

Chelsea: So, so much.

Adam: And we promise that we will take our cues from you, and from the doctors.

Chelsea: Yeah, we will listen.

Connor: I love you guys too.

Anyway, I better get going.

Chelsea: So soon?

Connor: Yeah, I’ve got class

in a few minutes.

Chelsea: Oh, okay, well, we understand.

Adam: All right, well, um, this was great, you know? Thank you.

Chelsea: We’ll talk to you soon, okay?

[ Chelsea sighs ] Okay, well, I have to email the doctor about these reassurances because I don’t really get it. So, if we tell connor that things are going to get better, that’s not a good thing, that’s going to stress him out even more? I just don’t really understand. Don’t, adam.

Adam: Don’t what?

Chelsea: Go wherever it is you’re going right now. It’s not going to help.

[ Chelsea sighs ]

Adam: Is this what his life is going to be like? Worrying about things like– like reassurances and disassociations? I mean, he shouldn’t even have a word for that.

Chelsea: If it helps him understand what he’s dealing with, I don’t care what they call it.

Adam: God, just taking the same brutal hits over and over.

Chelsea: Until he gets better. I mean, that’s what the whole exposure and response prevention thing is all about.

Adam: Yes, but the disassociations–

Chelsea: What, adam?

Adam: I went through it, chelsea. When I was a kid, I blocked things out, too. I erased the memory of seeing a man die right in front of me because I thought that I was responsible for it. And now my son is going through his own version of the same damn thing. So, is my life all he has to look forward to? I mean, is he going to grow up angry? Is he going to struggle to fit in? Is he ever going to believe that he deserves to be loved?

Chelsea: Adam, stop. This is an illness we don’t understand. And it’s just the beginning. We are going to be hearing things about it that are difficult for us to hear, that make us afraid. But we– we have to be ready for it. We have to stay calm and– and be strong and be unified.

Adam: Okay, well, that is a very nice speech, chelsea. But you are forgetting one very important thing. We are connor’s parents. He shares our dna, so everything that we are or have been is passed down to him. And that scares the hell out of me. And I am sorry, but you can’t convince me that you’re not being eaten up by it too.

Victor: I told you already. As I and my security team approached the motel, that jordan woman saw us coming. She panicked, she ran away, tried to cross the gamewood bridge, she slipped and fell into the river.

Michael: But no body was discovered.

Victor: Well, they are still searching. What are you getting at?

Michael: You know, well, as your attorney, I just want to make sure there is nothing that could come back to negatively impact my favorite client.

Victor: I told you exactly how it happened. It was a fortunate accident. Why can’t you just let it go?

Michael: I’d like to. I– I really would. But knowing you and working with you for all these years, I’ve developed a pretty good sense of who you are and how you operate, and right now, my senses are screaming that there’s a lot of this story you haven’t told me.

Cole: I haven’t seen

one of those in a while.

Victoria: Oh, my god.

Cole: Sweet, huh? You know, my mother had one just like this. She collected them.

Victoria: Uh, I think it’s hideous, actually.

Cole: Well, that’s the whole point. The creepier, the better.

Victoria: Wait a minute. Mom mentioned jordan tormenting her with a doll at the lake house. Um, do you think it could be like this one?

Cole: Hang on a sec. What is this? There’s something– there’s something inside here. Oooh! I can’t wait for this family getaway!

Cole: [Indistinct]

Victoria: Yeah, thank god.

[Indistinct] What could these possibly be for?

Cole: Well, they have to be just something important. Otherwise, jordan wouldn’t have taken the trouble to hide them like that.

Victoria: Maybe they could lead us to claire.

Cole: Yes, yes.

Victoria: But we still don’t know where she is, cole.

Cole: We have to keep looking, I mean, the answers have to be here somewhere, I know it.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Lauren: You must be exhausted.

[ Nikki sighs ]

Nikki: I am, it’s been a brutal last few days.

Lauren: I’m so sorry, nikki.

[ Nikki sighs ]

Nikki: We get through one nightmare and then there’s another one around the corner. I feel like I’m going to wake up and everything will be normal, you know, and claire will be safe.

Lauren: I wish that for you. You deserve it. And in the meantime, honey, you need to rest.

Nikki: If it were only that easy.

Lauren: I know it’s difficult. But I’m really worried about you, my friend.

Nikki: Thank you. And you’re right. I desperately need some sleep.

Lauren: All right, well, you know, forget about our meeting. Just turn around, go home, and get some sleep. I’ll text victor, and tell him you’re on the way.

Nikki: Oh, no, don’t do that. He’s putting all of his energy into finding claire. I don’t want to distract him.

Lauren: Okay. All right.

Nikki: Well, thank you for meeting me.

Lauren: You promise you’re going to go straight home, right?

Nikki: Where else would I go?

Victor: Michael, on my honor and our friendship, I am in no way responsible for that jordan woman’s death. Okay?

Michael: Now, that actually sounded sincere. Thank you.

Victor: Then let it be. All right? We now need to focus on finding my granddaughter.

Michael: Well, we’ve already got the whole town looking for her, and nothing’s turned up, she could be anywhere.

Victor: That means we need to double our efforts. I’ve got to be honest with you. The thought has occurred to me… that time may be running out for claire.

Chelsea: Of course this is upsetting to me. It’s agony, watching connor suffer the way he has, but I can’t give in to it. He needs me too much.

Adam: Then it will consume you.

Chelsea: Only if I let it.

Adam: Listen to me, chelsea.

Chelsea: And I’m not going to let it.

Adam: Why won’t you just talk to me?

Chelsea: I am talking to you.

Adam: Yes, with a bunch of buzzwords and to-do lists. Nothing about what’s really inside. Nothing about how you feel. Who would understand about any of that except me? This is our son. If we can’t talk to each other–

Chelsea: I’m terrified, adam. I’m terrified. But I’m afraid if I fall into that well of– of shame and guilt, I won’t be able to crawl out. I want to kill this thing that’s hurting our son. I want to destroy it. And of course I blame myself. I blame myself for my– for my weakness and my illness. And I– and I hate myself. And I’m not strong enough to stop this.

Adam: Yeah, well, I– I was not there for a big part of connor’s life. And when I was there, I created chaos. Do you know what I was thinking when he said he would just forget big chunks of time? I was thinking, yeah, I know, because that was me too.

[ Chelsea sniffles ]

Chelsea: I don’t know. Of course, I’ve had dark, intrusive thoughts. And there were moments that I hated myself. But it’s not about what you’ve been through or what I’ve been through. Connor is dealing with something different. And even though we can’t fully understand it, we still feel fully responsible.

Adam: Well, we’re not even sure if we’re what made it happen.

Chelsea: Adam… even if we didn’t cause it, does that even matter? Our son is still suffering.

Adam: I just wanna tell him that everything’s gonna be okay. I want to tell him that he’s gonna have a perfect, you know, average, utterly boring, normal life. But us telling him that everything’s gonna be okay is just us giving him our wishful thinking.

Chelsea: Yeah, I don’t think he wants to hear that from us.

[ Chelsea sighs ]

Adam: Yeah, well, I wouldn’t mind being reassured every once in a while.

Chelsea: Yeah. [Sighs] Yeah, neither would I.

[ Chuckles wryly ]

Adam: Well, maybe when things get tense or complicated or just plain scary, we could reassure each other.

Chelsea: I’d like that very much. Struggling with the highs and lows of bipolar 1?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] So, how did you know?

Adam: Know what?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] That I needed to… unload.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Oh. Well, I guess because I’ve been needing to do the same thing. You know, he’s such an incredible kid. I just wish that all this–

Chelsea: I know. And I’m glad that we can be there for each other, talk to each other in a way that’s, you know, different than before.

Adam: It’s a better way.

Chelsea: Like as grown-ups?

Adam: Well, I was going to say friends.

Chelsea: That, too. You know this is just the beginning, right? Connor’s going to have his ups and downs, and so are we.

Adam: Hmm. I’m not going anywhere.

Chelsea: Good. Neither am I.

[ Chelsea sniffling ]

Jack: Hey. How’s harrison doing?

Summer: Um, he’s still a little bit more clingy than usual, but that’s to be expected. I– I told him that we could do all of his favorite things today, and that made him smile.

Jack: That’s a start.

Summer: Yeah.

Jack: Listen, now that your grandmother is gone, how do you really feel about her letting jordan live?

Summer: My son… has bolted awake from nightmares twice since he’s been home. Jack, he might be scarred for life. What am I supposed to say when my grandma tells me that this could have all been avoided? I wish she had let jordan die. And if that makes me a terrible person, I don’t care. It’s the truth.

Jack: I’m not here to argue with you. But I have a favor to ask. Could you please not tell nikki that? Look, she’s in a very fragile state right now, and I’m worried knowing that might take her over the edge. Could you do that for me?

Summer: I don’t– I don’t plan on saying anything. I will always love my grandma. And I will always wish that she had let jordan die when she had the chance.

Nikki: [ Exhales deeply ]

Cole: Vic, can you think of any other place where jordan might have stayed?

Victoria: No.

Cole: Well, there– there has to be something here that’s gonna help us out. I mean, there has to be a map, an address, there’s something.

Victoria: Wait a minute.

Cole: What?

Victoria: I– you know, I’ve been racking my brain for the last five minutes trying to figure out if I’m imagining this or if it’s real. And it’s real, cole. I’m sure of it.

Cole: What’s real? What are you talking about?

Victoria: The keys! I recognize them. I’ve seen them before. I think I know where we have to go.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Exhaohh. Ooh! Hi, there. Okay. Uh… uh, we are gonna take a little breather.

[ Exhales sharply ] Ah! But if anybody asks why we stopped working out, I’m going to blame this squarely on you.

[ Inhales sharply ] Whew! Okay. Kristina. Are you okay? Actually, that depends on you. Thank you for taking the time to meet with me. Whoa. That was some serious corporate speak.

[ Both laugh ] I’m sorry. You’re right. I guess I’m, like, kind of stuck in the zone. Try again. Hi, willow. Hi, drew. So nice of you to stop by! I was happy to! It gives me the chance to tell you in person that amelia loved her first swim lesson. Ah! You see?! You were right. I knew it! Aw, that makes me so happy. Okay. So amelia did well, but how did mom do? Well, I was nervous at first, but once I saw how comfortable she was, I was — I was fine. That’s awesome.

[ Sighs ] Hey! You beat me here? Amazing what running a few red lights can do. I-I’m kidding. I even drove the speed limit. No one drives the speed limit. Truth. So, uh, what’s with this mystery meeting? Yeah, I’ve never been asked to sit in on aurora business before. Should I be scared? No. No. But I hope you’ll be excited. Do you

happen to know if jason morgan’s here? Oh. I’m sorry, sir. I can’t disclose who’s made reservations at the restaurant. No. He wouldn’t be a patron. Uh, hi. Can I help you with something? Carly, hi. Hi again.

[ Laughs ] How’s your head? Uh, it’s still attached. I see. So do you need something?

[ Stammers ] I — since I’m staying here, I thought I would meet the new owner of the hotel. Well, you already know jason, and if you’re looking for the new owner, you found her. Anna: Hi. Jason: Hey. Thanks for meeting me. Yeah. Of course.

[ Sighs ] I want to debrief you. I think if we are going to figure out who’s running pikeman and shut them down… there’s a fair amount of things you need to know. Such as? Well, firstly, I think valentin is involved. In pikeman? Big-time. There must be some sort of mistake. The only visitor I ever have is my mother, and she was just here. Hello, nikolas. Right this way.

I just had a meeting with a nonprofit who wants us to run their pr. Okay. What kind of pr were they thinking of? Well, they want aurora to help raise awareness for their cause by featuring them in our publications and in our media, but the reason that you’re here is because they’re looking for a spokesperson. Oh. Uh, sure. I could help you research some candidates. I think the spokesperson should be you. Me? You sound surprised. Because I am. Drew, I have zero experience with nonprofits or — or being a spokesperson for anything. But this cause, in particular, you do have experience with. This probably should’ve been my first question, but what exactly does this nonprofit do? Okay. The new tomorrow institute helps people find bone-marrow donors. T-they also coordinate umbilical-cord blood donations. So, I think it’s safe to say that the transplant process isn’t very well understood by the general public, and this organization is really trying to change that. And when they said that they were — they were looking for somebody to personalize their message, I immediately thought of you, a leukemia survivor in large part due to a bone-marrow donation. Willow, you got the — the power to make a huge impact here. Well, I shouldn’t say “owner.” I’m a co-owner with olivia quartermaine. Just like old times. Uh, yep.

[ Laughs ] I’m happy for you. Really? That’s not exactly the vibe I’m getting from you. No. No, no, no. I am. I remember how you talked about the metro court, how much you loved running the place. I did. I do. But I also remember you saying you never thought you’d get it back.

[ Inhales sharply ] That’s also true. So, what happened? Jason bought it and then sold you his half? He gave it to me. Just handed it over? Expected nothing in return? Jason doesn’t operate like that. When he does or says something, he means it. Okay. That explains his side. But not mine. Well, you just don’t strike me as someone who would accept a gift like that. You know? You seem to value your independence too much. Am I off base? No. You’re spot on. So, valentin, jack brennan, and I, we all came up through the wsb together. Wait. Val– y-you’re saying that valentin was an agent? A desk agent. You didn’t know that? Hm. So, anyway, we all went through the wsb training course at the same time. Jack brennan, he finished top of the class, which is what I had intended to do, but I wound up second. I think it was maybe sexism at work, but who knows. Anyway, valentin did very well, too. He finished close to the top. I mean, it’s kind of just like going through university together. You know people, but you don’t know them very well. Brennan — always a bit of a pragmatist. Now, I’m almost positive that he stole the money that was used to seed pikeman. Okay. Where — where does valentin fit in? If you would ask him, nowhere. However, when pikeman initially approached sonny to handle the shipment, valentin was the go-between. Now, he says it’s because he did contract work for them back in the ’90s and that there are no other ties. But you don’t buy it? No. Did you push him on it? No. I mean, “push” him? No. I don’t think that he believes I’m suspicious — of him, anyway. The subject that I probed on was brennan. Okay. And?

[ Chuckles ] It’s really interesting. Like, he convinced me that — that I was remembering wrong, that he and brennan weren’t tight the way I believed. And, I mean, you know, it was the ’80s, so it’s a while back. But I-I did some thinking. I know I’m right. I know brennan and valentin were thick as thieves back then. Okay. So valentin’s hiding something. I’m almost certain… at times. And then at other times, I think I’m being a bit paranoid. I kind of go back and forth. That’s not like you. I have to be honest with you. When it comes to valentin, you know… …my judgment is a bit compromised. Look at you! Trusted status. Free movement around the place. “Free-er.” Let’s not go crazy. Well, you’re out and about with no guards present. I’m impressed. It is a perk. And, uh, how about you? Finding a reason to visit pentonville that has nothing to do with me and doesn’t require a midnight van trip. Kudos! I guess we all have our moments, jack. Ah, well, what we don’t have is a whole lot of time. What’s happening with corinthos? Adjusting “well” to life on reduced medication? Well, it looks that way. Sonny’s isolated from his closest friends and family. The only one he trusts is ava jerome. I heard you were being transferred. I wanted to see you before that happened. How are you? Incarcerated. Besides that. I’m alright. Resigned to my fate… I suppose. Helps that nothing’s waiting for me on the outside. And you? I’M… …doing well. That’s it? Did you expect more? My mother told me you’re living with sonny. Ohh. Ah. Yeah. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t the least bit curious. What’s going on there? Well, it started as a safety precaution after the break-in at wyndemere. Never known you to be afraid of the dark. I do have a daughter to protect. Yeah, a daughter that you share with sonny. That’s right. You said it started as a safety precaution, so… what is it now? Hm. Why am I discussing this with you? Because I’m safe. Trapped in here with nothing to gain. Or trapped in here with nothing to lose. There’s always something to lose. I think we both learned that the hard way. My relationship with sonny has… …evolved, let’s say. Hm. For the worse? The better? Best it’s ever been.

Whatever you need. I can give you a ride to G.H. I can call someone for you. Oh. No, no, no, no. I’m just — I’m fine. The baby was just kicking up a storm. Oh. Okay. Good. Actually, I’m glad I ran into you. Well, you’re running. I’m not. Uh, but you get the point. I do. What’s up? Listen. I’m a straight shooter, so I’m just gonna come out and ask you. Josslyn told me that my dad ordered you to kill cyrus. That’s not true, is it? This thing between sonny and me — is toxic? I — no. I was gonna say “hard to define.” Hm. But it’s working. Recent betrayals have left sonny feeling hurt and alone. And he’s found in me somebody he can trust. And we support each other. We rely on each other. Are you in love with sonny corinthos? No. Why? Are you jealous? Always. I mean, do I find him attractive? Yes. And I’m not saying that my feelings won’t change in the future, but, for now, I’m just happy to be on the same side. Must be nice for avery. Yes! It is. Honestly, I’ve never seen her so happy. She’s got both her parents. We’re all living together under the same roof. And she’s loving it. And as for me, you know, I’m used to skating on such thin ice with sonny, always this close to a custody battle. It’s such a relief to not constantly be bracing for that. Makes sense. Why do you say it like that? Like what? Like you’re not completely sold. Oh, I’m sold. I get that you like not fighting with sonny and that it’s healthy for avery and blah, blah, blah. But that is not the part that you get off on the most. Well, do tell. You like being in the inner sanctum, in sonny’s coveted “circle of trust.” You’re the one he leans on, the one he confides in… the one he believes. Damn right, I do. I’ve had other offers throughout the year. Other people wanting to buy you back your half of the hotel? Yeah. Sonny. My son, michael. Even nina reeves offered to sell it back to me in the name of “peace” — so she said. I’m guessing you weren’t feeling that peaceful towards nina reeves? Uh, no. And the ex-husband, I get. But why not accept the offer from your son? Because! I didn’t want to expose michael to scrutiny from the sec. Not that they would find anything, but I didn’t want to put him through that kind of an investigation. It was bad enough when it happened to me. I’m guessing you already know all about this. Just ’cause I’m fbi doesn’t mean I’m familiar with every federal charge ever filed. But you are familiar with that one. Yeah. So you know the ending, right? I messed up, I lost my hotel, and I was going to do everything in my power to get it back on my terms. But that — but that just brings me back to my original question. You weren’t able to accept charity, for lack of a better term, from sonny or nina or michael. How were you able to accept it from jason? Because taking my hotel back wasn’t for me. It was for him. Sonny’s on one-quarter of his bipolar medication, and no one has any idea. I’ve got to hand it to you, val. The strategy is simple, effective, hard to detect. If this were a project back when we were trainees, they’d steal your idea and put it in a textbook. However, we have a rather bigger, rather more pressing problem than sonny. Jason morgan, also known as alan jacobs. Spent years at pikeman, therefore knows too much. Yeah, and I’m sure by now you’ve been back through his file and double-checked our screening process. How did morgan get a job at pikeman in the first place? Who messed up and where? The short answer is no one messed up — because alan jacobs’ history checks out. I mean, supporting documents. His outstanding record of military service. Everything seems legitimate. That’s troubling. Someone went through a lot of trouble to put jason morgan in pikeman. Someone capable of manipulating government records. Could be a business rival. There’s a couple of other security firms have that kind of tech. So sabotage pikeman from within and steal our clients? Yeah, it’s plausible. Except for morgan himself. Why would he take the job? What was his — his incentive? Well, jason has always had blind faith in sonny corinthos. It’s kind of a defining character trait. Right. So what would make him disappear on sonny? Not money. He was born a quartermaine. So if morgan wasn’t paid to infiltrate pikeman, what if he was coerced? Yeah, but who could coerce a man like that? Who could deliver flawless credentials? The answer has three letters. Only the question is… which ones? Drew : Yours is such animportant story, willow, and thank goodness it has a happy ending. I really — I hope you’ll consider coming on board. Wow. I…

[ Exhales sharply ] Uh, willow’s a private person. She may not want to share her story with the world, even if it is for a-a worthy cause. I mean, I completely understand. I would n– I mean, I don’t want to pressure you. I-I definitely don’t want you to feel uncomfortable in any way. Oh, no. Ii know that. And I am so honored that you thought of me. Well, you’re the only person I thought of.

[ Exhales sharply ] Can I get back to you? I promise I won’t take too long. Absolutely. Take as much time as you need. Because while, yes, I do value my privacy, the fact is… my life was saved by my great-aunt liesl and her bone-marrow donation, and I will be eternally grateful for that gift. It allowed me to be a mother to my children, a wife to my husband. I want to increase the odds of that happening for everyone. Drew, we have a problem, and I need you to do something…

I don’t think thatwe should talk about that. Oh, my god. It is true. Yeah. Dex, I’m so sorry. You’re not responsible for your father. No, but I — I feel so stupid and naive. I mean, I know my dad worked outside the law, but I can’t believe he would put you in that position. Makes you feel any better, it surprised me, too. Can I ask you another question? Sure. In the time that you’ve worked with my dad, has he seemed different, in the end, than he was in the beginning? Uh, I know that’s vague. No, no. I get what you mean. Yeah, uh, towards the end, sonny was more volatile, quicker to fly off the handle. Paranoid? Yeah. After the attack in puerto rico, he was convinced there was a traitor inside his organization. Didn’t take him long to decide that it was me, and after that, there was no changing his mind. Okay. So it was after the shooting in puerto rico. Yeah, he’d always been volatile, but that’s when it flipped to paranoia. Right when ava moved in.

[ Groans ] Kristina? Is something wrong? Jason thinks that I wouldn’t have lost the hotel to begin with if he had been here. Do you agree? Probably. I mean, it’s not jason’s fault. Something was obviously keeping him away. I mean, he’s been through something. Jason told you that? No, I can see it in his eyes. And now that he’s back home, there’s so much that he can’t get back or make up for. But this hotel, you know, it’s the one thing he could fix. So you swallowed your pride and let him. Oh! [ Chuckles ] Don’t get me wrong. I am thrilled to have the hotel back. But I wouldn’t have accepted it from anyone else. You took it from jason. For him. Yeah. And I’d do it again. Enjoy your hotel, carly. Enjoy your stay, agent cates. My defenses were up because I thought that someone was targeting me. Jason: Somebody was targeting you. Yeah, not that night, though. When I got back to the apartment, I could see that someone had opened the door. And I entered. And there was a figure standing there in the dark rifling through my things. And they turned toward me with something in their hand. And I fired. You did what your instincts were telling you to do. You wouldn’t have done that. Anna, you don’t know that. Yeah, I do. You wouldn’t have entered an apartment that was dark and fired at a target that you couldn’t see clearly. I-I wasn’t there. It’s impossible to say what would’ve or wouldn’t have happened. Y-you just can’T. It’s really hard for me to accept, you know, that that happened. And every time it flashes in my mind, I just try to block it out. I sh– mnh. I shot a child, jason. I’m sorry. You should feel sorry for charlotte. I feel sorry for you, too. Had to be tough to live through that. I’m really glad charlotte’s okay. Oh, god. Me too. I don’t know what I would’ve done if she hadn’t made it. Anyway… so, what I’m saying is that it’s impossible for me to — to look at valentin and not think about his daughter. You see, to me, he is a father first and a person of interest second. In which case…

[ Sighs ] …I think I’m putting this entire investigation at risk. I fear we’ve caught the interest of a government agency. Fbi, cia, nsa. Mi5? Yeah. The only one we can be sure it’s not is the wsb. They don’t want to investigate pikeman. They want to keep it running just the way it has for decades. Do you think the cia put jason in pikeman? I think we’d be idiots not to consider that possibility. And morgan’s perfect. He’s got the right skill set, but he’s not an agent.

[ Scoffs ] I mean, you know… if we hadn’t had the blind good luck to assign morgan to an op in his own hometown, we’d never have tripped to him. And you think that’s good luck? Well, any luck’s good if you know how to play it. Now that we know an intelligence firm is coming after us… we can adjust accordingly. Jack, this is gonna have to be our last face-to-face. There can be nothing linking me to you. Right. And we still have to tie off morgan. Well, I think we may have gotten a break there. ‘Cause jason and sonny are currently at odds. Yeah? How bad? On a scale from creative differences to all-out war? From sonny’s perspective, the latter. And with him erratic… and angry? We eliminate jason and pin it on sonny.

I’m sorry. I-I didn’t know that you were here. -It’s fine. -We were just leaving. Um, I will get back to you with an answer as soon as possible. Like I said, no rush. And thank you again so much for thinking of me. Willow barely said a word to me. Because we were in the middle of a meeting, nina. Did you see her smile just a little? Maybe I could call — no. You know what? I think texting is more appropriate. I think you should give willow some space. Now, what was so important that you had to barge into my office without knocking again? Well, carly is giving me a hard time about doing standard maintenance on my office.

[Chuckling] Really? I wonder where she got that idea from. Remember, drew, we are on the same team. In what world am I on the same team as you? One where carly and jason screwed us both over. So what’s the plan? For? Payback. Everything’s fine. Are you sure? Because things looked a little tense. Yeah, no. It’s fine. The baby was just kicking, and… I asked dex if what you told me about my dad was true. Oh. You were right. Well, for the record, I wish I wasn’T. And looking back, I certainly did not have to tell you the way that I did. Well, I should probably get going, so… it’s good to see you. Dex. Wait. I like it. Thought you might. But you need to tread carefully and make it look convincing. Otherwise, anna will totally be onto you. I heard she came to see you. Hm. She wanted to know all about pikeman. She seemed to think that somehow I’d know who was running the show. And what did you tell her? I gave her nothing. But anna’s closing in, val. You know, we can take precautions against the nsa or whoever it is that has pikeman under scrutiny. But our defenses against anna are limited. She knows us both. She knows our history. She was there when we stole the money to fund pikeman. Now, all she has to do is put those pieces together. And she’s plenty smart enough to do that. She’s already come to see me to talk about pikeman. She asked me about your involvement. And I stonewalled. And she believed you? Of course. Trust me. Anna’s not gonna be a problem. Every instinct in my body is just screaming that valentin is more involved in pikeman than he is saying. But for the reasons that I’ve just outlined, when I question him, I come up empty. I just — I-I think I’m incapable of being objective. Oh, and this is — this is where I come in? Mm-hmm. Yeah. You’re, uh, good at rational thinking, yeah? That’s what I hear. And I’m just wondering maybe you can get a read on valentin? ‘Cause he’s not going to be suspicious of you as he would be of me. Right. Look. I’ll do anything I can to help you. Thank you. But… you may not trust your own judgment. I do. And I always will. Thank you. I have a lead for you. Great. What? Well, dex confirmed for me that sonny did, in fact, take that shipment from pikeman. Yeah, I got my own reasons to talk to this guy dex. I’ll follow up, and I’ll see if he knows anything about valentin. And I’ll always be here for backup. I know. John: Jason!

[ Scoffs ] Oh, look. The gang’s all here. Except — wait. You’re missing a member. Well, we were just discuss– I don’t care what you were doing here. The investigation into pikeman has stalled. Care to explain why?

Your head’s not in the game. Throwing money around. Buying the metro court for carly spencer? Just because you’re back in port charles with access to your bank accounts does not make you a free man. Understood. I want an update on pikeman — now. There’s nothing to report right now. Now, you listen up, morgan. Either you figure out a way to give me what I want… or carly will lose the hotel — again — because she will be up on rico charges. Oh, hi! My two favorite people! It’s already looking so much better in here. You think? Yeah, the metro court has missed your special touch. Thank you. Well, what are you guys doing here? Late lunch? Early dinner? Drinks? You know we do it all.

[ Chuckles ] We’re not sure just yet. Alright. Well, let me know when you decide. Um, duty calls.

[ Laughs ] Excuse me. Willow: Your mom seems so happy. Yeah. She does. So… what do you think about drew’s offer? I mean, I was flattered and really surprised. Look. I-I don’t want you to feel pressured. It’s — it’s 100% fine if you say no. Is that what you think I should do? You knock yourself out. I’m not interested in payback. Since when? I mean, you really enjoyed getting even with me. Why are you letting carly and jason off the hook? Carly and jason didn’t send me to prison. If you weren’t sent away, drew, then you and carly would have been married by the time jason came back home. And how humiliating would that have been? Oh, I see. So — so you actually saved me from divorce. That’s right. So do you want me to thank you? What I want right now doesn’t really require any words. Oh, is it too much for you, drew? I owe you an explanation. You don’t owe me anything. It wasn’t my place to say anything to kristina, but at the time, I was just very scared of what sonny might do to you, and I thought that if I told kristina, it would help. You’re not scared anymore? No, I think that you’re gonna be just fine. Have you heard from the academy? Not yet. I’m sure you’ll get in. We’ll see. Pcpd would be lucky to have you. You really think so? I know so. All those years I spent with my nose pressed up against the window, on the outside looking in, despised, ridiculed by everybody in sonny’s orbit. Not nina. No. No. Not nina. But the collapse of sonny and nina was inevitable. I mean, she never had a chance of really understanding him. Not like i do. Because sonny wasn’t the man that she thought he was. Do you know what I’m really loving? What I’m really tickled pink about? Is that finally carly is getting a taste of her own medicine. Hm. Now we’re getting somewhere. Glaring down her nose at reprehensible, despicable ava jerome, repeatedly slamming the door in my face. Well, guess who’s in charge of entry now. You. Me. And she can be the ousted traitor. I’m the trusted confidant. Sonny makes you feel powerful. Yeah. Yeah. But I am helping him, too. How so? Sonny is on a quarter dose of his medication. Did you arrange it? No. No. Absolutely not. And I have to find out who’s responsible. In the meantime, I know that sonny is vulnerable, and I’m watching out for him. Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. You’re saying that y-you haven’t told sonny?

I hope you’re right about the police academy. We both know I have a lot to make up for. Look, if I’ve come off as some perfect angel, I know that I’m not. I have done things that I’m not proud of. And…I don’t even know why I did them. I just know that they didn’t make me feel like me. Does that make sense? Makes a lot of sense. There is a scale, joss. Bad things you’ve done. There’s some bad things that I’ve done. I’m not trying to compare. I’m just saying that I know that I’ve messed up, too. So I shouldn’t stand in judgment of anybody else. And that includes you. No, I haven’t told sonny. Why not? N-never mind. I think I know. You like quarter-medicated sonny, don’t you? He’s receptive to you in a way he’s never been before. We’re getting along very well, yes. Getting along? Playing house, ava. Well, as long as I’m watching out for sonny, what’s the downside? How much time do you got? If sonny finds out what’s wrong and that you knew? Look, if he even suspects that you had a hand in this… well, I didn’T. But you didn’t try and fix it. Okay? Sonny’s not rational. You’re playing with real fire here. You almost sound like you care. You know I do. And yet you always underestimate me. I know what I’m doing. God, I hope so. Do you think I wouldn’t be good at it?

[ Chuckles ] No, I think — actually, no, i know that you’d be amazing with whatever you put your mind to. I just — I don’t want you to feel obligated, willow. That’s all. If you do decide to take the job, just make sure it’s what you — what you really want. Well, drew told me I could think on it. So that’s what I’m gonna do. Okay. Carly stays free as long as you do what the fbi asks of you. Are we clear?

[ Exhales heavily ] Clear. Good. Now… we both know you spent years running contraband through here. I suggest you renew your contacts and find out how pikeman is moving their shipments through port charles and when they plan to do it again. I do what I have to to get the results I need. Anna: Maybe. But I can tell you don’t like yourself very much when you treat jason like that. It doesn’t matter how any of us feel about it. What matters is we get it done. Don’t worry, jack. I know how to play anna. You better be right. For her sake. I like anna. I always have. But the wsb has too much invested in pikeman. Okay? If she threatens that… take a wild guess what’s gonna happen to her. Nothing’s gonna happen. Yeah. If you want to protect her, val, really, you want to keep her safe, keep your distance. The more time you spend with anna, the greater the risk you’ll give yourself away. That’s all the time I have for you, jack. I need to get going.

Ashley: Well, how do you do? You can make a girl happy with a shot of tequila. And don’t you forget that teeny-weeny slice of lime and that itsy-bitsy bit of salt. Hm.

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

Ashley: Oh, yeah. You have truly been blessed with brilliant hands.

Piano player: As long as you like it, I’ll keep playing.

Ashley: I like it. I like it. Oh, it feels so good just to cut loose and enjoy myself. I’ve been in a cage. It’s really been like a prison. Three hots and a cot, I should say. But shouldn’t someone have the right to come and go as they please? Someone who means no harm to anyone at all. I mean, that’s just the whole thing. I’m the one who’s looking for the– the pleasant solution, not the messy one. Oh, I just love it here. Everyone having free will to do whatever the hell they want.

Piano player: That’s the idea.

Ashley: Don’t you see, though, that’s the shame of it all. I don’t get to do what I want. No, everybody seems to have a vote in what I do and what I say. And what’s the fun in that, I ask you? None. Looking at me with sad eyes and pity. And I am the last woman on this green planet to need anybody’s pity. You know what? What difference does it make if I can’t remember this or that occasion? It just means that maybe it’s not worth remembering. Or maybe it’s the tequila. Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter, does it? ‘Cause I’m having fun. And thanks to you, I’m having more fun than I’ve had in ages, so whatever you do, you sweetie pie, don’t you stop the music. Whoo! Yeah!

Kyle: Look, Dave, my little boy is seven years old. He thinks a little brass bunny is good luck. He doesn’t go to sleep at night until we have read at least two books. He has told me all about his school, his friends, his favorite subject and every game he has played on the playground. Right now, he doesn’t have his school, his friends, his bed or his parents. So, how can you hear me say this and stay silent?

Jill: You’ve been quiet. Do you have anything you’d like to add?

Devon: No, I don’t. You guys know where I stand on this.

Jill: Any other observations? Hm? Any, uh, comments? Speak up now. All right, then I propose we put this to a vote. And I vote against going to court. And, lily, I totally understand your point of view, and I respect it. I just feel that the company will suffer less if we just let Daniel take his toys and go home. Okay, we take the loss, we move on. We’ve all been through it before. We’ll all be going through it again.

Billy: I agree with my mother. I vote against following through with the lawsuit.

Lily: Well, you know where I stand. We own Omegasphere. We made it the success it is. I vote that we fight to keep it.

Abby: And I vote with Lily. I think we should fight.

Billy: Well, now. Look who’s the tiebreaker.

Billy: How’s Charlie doing?

Lily: Um, he’s good. He got a job at a production company in L.A.

Billy: Hm.

Lily: So, he loves it. Says it’s like taking a master class in filmmaking.

Billy: That’s cool.

Lily: Mm-hmm.

Billy: It’s got to feel good for you, too.

Lily: Mm-hmm. How are Katie and Johnny?

Billy: They’re good. Yeah, they’re good. My video chats with them from boarding school don’t last long enough. Half of the time they’re insisting they know more than their old man. And they’re right.

Lily: What, that you’re old?

[ Billy laughs ] No, but, um, I’m actually really sorry about what Chelsea’s going through with Connor.

**************”**

Billy: It does make a lot of sense, stacking the board to vote in line with you. It’s interesting, Lily, because we were just talking about undefined purviews, and I’m sitting here wondering, what does this board really do? I mean, what’s the point of voting when you already know the outcome?

Devon: Are you done? Can we move on?

Jill: So, does this mean we get to vote now?

Devon: I would love that.

Billy: Nate, this is not personal at all. You’ve done some really great work since you’ve come back.

Nate: Thank you.

Billy: But for me, it’s a little too soon. The memories of what happened last time are too fresh.

Jill: Yeah, from when you brazenly sold us out.

Nate: I am aware.

Jill: Which is why I think this is premature. I vote no.

Billy: I agree.

Devon: All right. Two yeses, two nos.

Lily: Well… I guess it’s up to me then.

[ Tessa humming ]

Mariah: Look at you!

Tessa: What?

Mariah: Glowing with career and personal satisfaction.

Tessa: Can you tell?

Mariah: Yeah, it’s the humming. That’s your tell. You sing when you’re happy.

Tessa: With good reason. My life is beautiful. But if I’m humming too much, please tell me and I’ll tone it down.

Mariah: No, no, no. It’s– it’s amazing. In fact, why don’t we try to find a way to make you happier?

Tessa: Is that even possible?

Mariah: I think I can make it happen.

Lily: Okay, send me the contract when you’ve made the changes. Thank you.

[ Lily sighs ] Why am I always running into you? [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Because we work in the same office. We live in the same town. I’m actually glad I ran into you.

Lily: No, no.

Billy: No what? You have no idea what I was just going to say.

Lily: I know exactly what you’re going to say and I’m not going there with you.

Billy: Going where?

Lily: I’m not going to revisit your conversation of us running the company together.

Billy: Okay, fine. I can take a hint. I know when to back off. Plus, I believe you’re going to come around on your own anyway.

[ Lily sighs ]

Audra: So, of the three companies we’ve acquired, I think we should launch a marketing campaign for the one with the highest sales and most shelf space first. You know, that way we can hit the ground running with a well-known…

Tucker: No.

Audra: …And somewhat successful–

Tucker: No, no, no. That’s a dumb idea.

Audra: I mean, you’re dumb.

Tucker: What we do is divert more capital to the one that needs the most support, repackage their signature products, implement a new marketing spin.

Audra: Hm. [ Clicks tongue ] Right. Shore up the weakest link first. Kind of like you in our relationship.

Tucker: Right. We turn each company around, one by one, and then we push them on the marketplace with a new look.

Audra: While we build up our own products for a more affluent clientele.

Tucker: Mm-hmm. And we market the hell out of those and then bingo, we’ve got our boot on the neck of the industry. And they beg for our mercy.

Audra: Wow. You know, I almost forgot what a cold-blooded, ruthless, horrible person you can be.

Tucker: Oh, thank you, sweetheart.

Audra: Glissade can actually rival jabot. And in time, even surpass it.

Tucker: Salud.

Audra: Salud.

Traci: Uh, w– wow, that’s quite a dress.

Ashley: Thank you. Sometimes, retail therapy is the only therapy you really need, right?

Traci: Uh, well, I’m glad that you decided that you would come up and have a bite to eat.

Ashley: Sure. I’m a little bit hungry. I’m peckish.

Traci: Uh, well, let’s see. Everything’s good. What– what do you think? Your usual?

Ashley: Uh, it doesn’t really matter so much. What I could use, though, is maybe a little shot of tequila.

[Shaking]

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… now I can be myself again.

Tucker: Listen to you, talking about glissade surpassing jabot. I thought that you wanted our focus to be solely on our company and not about some personal rivalry. You were very adamant about not wanting the drama, if you recall.

Audra: Yeah, I do perfectly recall what I said, but since then, I’ve had an epiphany of sorts.

[ Tucker clicks tongue ]

Tucker: What sort?

Audra: Well, I think we can be the biggest cosmetic entity out there. Because, I mean, why not?

Tucker: Hm.

Audra: Look, I don’t need any other motive besides wanting to dominate the market. Whereas your reasons are suspect.

[ Tucker sighs ]

Tucker: If you’re referring to ashley abbott, you are mistaken.

Audra: Ugh.

Tucker: She is not my motivation. Not anymore. Although, I would love to crush her sanctimonious brother and nephew. Take them down a couple notches.

Audra: Hm.

Tucker: With diane as collateral, that would be fun. And good business.

Audra: Yeah, I agree. Taking on one of the biggest cosmetic companies in the marketplace could serve to set our goals even higher. When you aim low, you run the risk of hitting it. The odds are much better when you shoot for the moon.

Tucker: Yes. Your drive and ambition give me certain sensations. Have I ever mentioned that to you?

Audra: Tucker, I think everything gives you sensations.

Tucker: Yes, well, what can I say? I’m very sensational.

Audra: Hm.

Traci: Ashley, I don’t think you need anything else to drink. I mean, at least have something to eat first.

Ashley: Oh, bless her little heart. I’ll just humor the poor thing. You’re right. I’m just going to have an iced tea.

[ Traci sighs ]

Traci: Ashley, um…

Ashley: Hm?

Traci: Jack and I have been trying to get a hold of you. And we’ve been very worried that you haven’t gotten back to us. Are you not getting our messages?

Ashley: I did not get your calls. I’m so sorry. I turned my phone off. I know. I’ve been trying to do just a little cell phone detox, you know, to get rid of all the stress that I’ve been carrying around.

Traci: Oh, well, I guess I could understand that under normal circumstances. But ashley, considering everything going on with you, blackouts, I think everyone would be a little more comfortable if you would leave your phone on. Uh, we just get so worried when we can’t reach you.

Ashley: I get it.

Traci: I do have some good news, though. Harrison is home from his ordeal. I’m so sorry that I couldn’t tell you about it at the time. But you were in such a precarious situation, we didn’t want to add to your burden.

Ashley: Oh, I understand completely. But, I get it, again, you know, and I think the most important thing is that that precious little boy is okay.

Traci: Yeah, and I don’t know how he did it, but kyle was able to track that– that woman, jordan, and figure out where she was holding him, and now he’s home, safe and sound in his own bed.

Ashley: Gotta count our blessings.

Traci: Yeah, I suppose. Now, we can concentrate on you.

Ashley: Son of a bitch.

Tessa: Sorry, I was busy being amazing at my job, but I have a minute, and now you can tell me how I could possibly be happier.

Mariah: Okay, so happiness to you equals singing to yourself, okay?

Tessa: All right.

Mariah: So, what if there was a way to have you in front of an audience that is not me and aria?

Tessa: I mean, yeah, I– I– I love it. Always. But touring takes me away from home, and aria’s too yummy to miss a weekend with, and I have a job here, and, you know, you’re okay, too.

Mariah: Hm. Thank you for that.

Tessa: Yeah, you’re welcome.

Mariah: Well, I wouldn’t be a genius for nothing. Uh, no, instead of touring, I’m thinking about local music festivals, you know? It’s getting warmer out. They’re bound to start popping up.

Tessa: That does sound tempting. And I do miss singing in front of a live audience, but–

Mariah: No, no, no buts.

Tessa: However, no festivals have offered me a slot.

Mariah: You know what? I think we can actually change that. Hey, you two! Hi!

Abby: Hi!

Mariah: Hi, it’s so great to see you.

Abby: You too, always. Tessa, I have to tell you, I talked to the seafood vendor, and he says you’re his new favorite person.

Tessa: Aw.

Abby: And I couldn’t even be offended, because of course you are.

Mariah: I know, from singing, to modeling, to managing, she’s just so multi-talented.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: She is.

Tessa: Can you tell she used to be my manager? You know, we really miss you at the label.

Mariah: A-ha!

Tessa: Mariah? No.

Mariah: Yeah.

Tessa: No.

Abby: Uh, are we missing something?

Mariah: Am I crazy, or a singer-songwriter this talented, doesn’t she deserve a showcase at something like, I don’t know, a music festival?

Devon: Hang on.

Mariah: And devon? I know that you know everyone in the industry, so…

Devon: I do. Abby, I love my job, and I’m not looking to leave.

Abby: Well, thank goodness, but speaking of festivals…

Devon: Yeah, we’re actually putting together a festival, and you would be perfect for the lineup.

Mariah: That is incredible. Uh, is it local? Because she’s looking to stay local.

Tessa: Wow, that escalated quickly.

Devon: Yeah, we can definitely keep it local.

Abby: Then, it’s agreed.

Devon: If it works for you.

Tessa: If that works for you?

Abby: I will cut your hours if you say no.

Tessa: Sounds perfect.

Devon: Seriously.

Tessa: Thank you. All of you. Thank you.

Mariah: Well, she’ll have a set list to you very soon.

Devon: We’re looking forward to it.

Tessa: Oh, let me show you to your table.

Abby: No, it’s okay. We got it.

Devon: Yeah. We’ll see you.

Abby: Bye.

Mariah: Bye.

[ Both laughing ]

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: Yes.

Abby: Well, that was a fantastic idea.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Is something wrong?

Devon: Yeah, it’s from nate. He just said, “thanks for the vote of confidence. I appreciate it.” We should be celebrating his seat on the board right now.

Abby: I really thought we would be.

Devon: Yeah, so did I. Until lily voted against me. I did not see that coming.

Lily: So, you’re that confident, huh? That I’m going to come around to your way of thinking?

Billy: It’s only a matter of time.

Lily: Well, I did have an interesting conversation with mamie today. And by interesting, I mean disturbing.

Billy: Let me guess, you didn’t vote the party line? Is that why?

Lily: Oh, no. She went as far to say that maybe I was too emotionally distraught over my breakup with daniel in order to make the right decision.

[ Billy whistles ]

Billy: Damn. That’s just rude.

Lily: I don’t know. Maybe she was being sympathetic.

Billy: Which means you think maybe she wasn’T. So does that mean you’re finally coming around to the idea that your aunt mamie is trouble? ()

[ Audra gasps ]

Audra: I have an idea.

Tucker: So do I. A big one.

Audra: I was considering that we could consolidate production costs by housing the factories of all of our companies in one large facility. The operational cost and overhead would be reduced, especially as we streamline each company’s product line.

Tucker: Mm, I love it when you talk dirty.

Audra: I could consider something else, too.

Tucker: And what’s that? Eh, I don’t know. That wasn’t very convincing. I think I need another one.

Audra: Ah, food first, though.

Tucker: Food first. [ Sighs ] All right. Let’s order room service and eat naked.

Audra: Too much of a chance we’d never eat at all.

Tucker: Yeah.

Audra: Knowing you.

Tucker: Hey, did you know they have a restaurant downstairs?

Audra: What?

Tucker: Yeah.

Audra: Here? Downstairs.

Tucker: Yes.

Audra: In the athletic club?

Tucker: Yes.

Audra: Oh, well, I think we should try it.

Tucker: Let’s do it. I’ll race you down there. Loser buys.

[ Audra scoffs ] Ready? One. Two.

Audra: And I get a head start.

[ Tucker exclaims ]

Traci: I do understand why you changed your mind about your doctor’s appointment. I’m sure that going into therapy with someone you’ve never met before is daunting.

Ashley: She thinks she knows me, but she doesn’t have a clue.

Traci: But before that appointment, you told me that you wanted to get help. So, did something happen? Something specific to change your mind?

Ashley: I panicked. I did. I panicked. I’ve been so confused about everything that’s going on in my head and I– you know, I– I got kind of skittish and I just could not walk through that door.

Traci: Well, I wish you would have told me. And not just taken off. Maybe I could have helped you with it.

Ashley: Yeah, you’re right. You’re right. But that’s why I came here. You know, just to relax and calm down, and boy, did it do the trick. You know what? You deserve a break. [ Gasps ] I know. Why don’t we both get a shot of tequila? It’ll be so much fun. Sisters drinking shots of tequila. I love that.

Traci: Ashley, please stop. Look, I don’t want to say anything that is going to make things worse than they already are, but I have to be honest with you. I am afraid for you. Whatever is going on with you is spiraling out of control.

Ashley: You are worrying too much.

Traci: No, I have a feeling I’m not worrying enough. For you to storm out of a doctor’s appointment and I find you downstairs in the jazz lounge doing tequila shots? Even the way you’re talking to me right now. You told me that you wanted to get help. And if I need to hold your hand through that, I will do it. But for you to avoid the situation, for you to hide behind alcohol and act like this? I– I just can’t back you up like that. Ashley, you have got to step up. You’ve got to get the help that you need before things get even more dangerous.

Ashley: You are right. I have been the queen of denial. And your tough love is exactly what I need. So, I’m going to reschedule that appointment first thing tomorrow.

Lily: Billy, no. I’m not going to say that my aunt is trouble, okay? I don’t like that she’s trying to chop up the company. Because even if we remain chancellor-winters to the public, dividing it would undo all of the work that I did during the merger. And it’s not an option for me.

Billy: No. I get that. I understand that you feel that way, but I think it’s inevitable, okay? Because this war is not going to end. It’s only going to get worse. And in order for this company to survive, it’s going to need two pairs of strong, capable hands like ours to grab the reins and run it together.

Lily: Oh, my god. See? I said I didn’t want to talk about it. And you can’t help yourself. Do you know why? You have no self-control.

Billy: No, no, no. Hold– hold on.

Lily: That’s the issue.

Billy: Okay, I’m sorry. Give me another chance. Okay? I won’t bring it up again. Can I buy you a drink? Somewhere else? Something stronger than coffee? What do you say?

[ Audra screams ]

[ Tucker groans ]

Audra: Ha! You’re paying!

Ashley: Oh, look at you two. Tucker mccall, don’t you have a helicopter to fly or a car to crash? And look at you. Such a waste. I mean, you really are so pretty and so smart. You could do a lot better.

Audra: This is a new angle for you. Flattering me and, uh, insulting tucker.

Ashley: Oh, well.

Audra: Can’t keep up, ashley.

Ashley: Advice is free. Take it or leave it. But if I were you, I would ditch this daddy issue for good. Sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression

Devon: It’s just like every single meeting nowadays is one fight after another, where no decision gets made based off logic or because it’s actually the right thing to do for the company. It’s just everybody picking sides and digging their heels in. And lily and I were really in a good place, or I thought we were, and then she goes and turns it back on me and her family.

Abby: That’s not what happened, at all.

Devon: Really? Did she not just vote against putting her cousin on the board and pretty much disregard what I had to say about it?

Abby: Okay.

Devon: You were there.

Abby: I love you. And I hear you. But you gotta slow down. Just because lily voted against nate, it doesn’t mean she voted against you. Lily has a right to her opinion. But that’s why we’re all on the board. So there’s no unchecked power, and that’s a good thing. And I know you think so, too. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have merged with chancellor. And this isn’t forever. I know that with time, lily can be persuaded to see things your way.

Devon: Well, I thought enough time had gone by for her to trust nate. Maybe she does need him to prove something to her, but I thought she at least could have faith in me to put him on and trust that I know what I’m doing.

Abby: I’m not trying to argue with you. I’m really not. But think of it from lily’s point of view. Maybe lily feels like she has a lot to prove because of everything that happened with daniel. And maybe she doesn’t want to make decisions based on emotions. And so, just because she voted against you, I mean, maybe she just didn’t want to vote to make you happy. I mean, that’s just as bad as firing daniel because of her feelings.

Devon: And I backed her up on that, too, by the way.

Abby: So what? She owes you a vote? I know you don’t believe that.

Devon: No, I didn’t say that. Of course not.

Abby: I was really proud of you for supporting her, for not handing over those video games. You didn’t vote out of spite, and I love you for that.

[ Devon sighs ]

Devon: I love you, too. But I still think there’s more to her voting no against nate. I think the issue is either making a point or hedging her bets on the board members.

Abby: And why do you think that?

Devon: Because I have a feeling billy’s gotten under her skin. That’s why.

Billy: This is nice, huh?

[ Lily chuckles ] Away from the office, away from everything else. Just have a drink, enjoy each other for a second, then go home with enough time to have a game of solitaire and maybe even read a book. Remember those?

Lily: Ah, books, yeah. I can recall one or two, I think. [ Laughs ]

Billy: It’s nice to see you smile. I can see the tension leaving your body already. I told you it was a good idea to come here, by me.

Lily: Oh, my god. Did you always need this much validation?

Billy: Look, I take it when I can get it. I don’t get it all that often, so when I get a compliment, I– I keep it. I put it in my piggy bank and then I smash it open on a rainy day.

Lily: Well, I know you’re joking, but I can tell that something is going on with you. But, you know, you’re charming as always, so…

Billy: As always?

Lily: As a friend, though, I think you’re trying a little too hard.

Billy: Mm. That’s the pitfall of somebody knowing you too well, I guess, huh?

Lily: And?

Billy: It’s– uh, it’s my sister ashley, actually. Things haven’t been good with her since her breakup with tucker. Obviously, she’s better off without him, but–

Lily: Well, yeah, I think everyone is.

Billy: Yeah, but she hasn’t been the same since, and it’s really tough to watch.

Lily: What do you mean, she hasn’t been the same?

Billy: Well, you know, ashley, I mean, she’s incredibly confident. Her focus, the way that she’s so direct with us, painfully direct sometimes, and… I don’t know. There’s a lot going on with her right now. It’s a lot of back and forth.

Lily: Wow, that doesn’t sound like ashley at all.

Billy: No, it doesn’T. And I’m afraid for my sister.

Tucker: Ashley, I– I know you– you don’t want to listen to me, but I hope you will listen to your sister.

Ashley: Thank you so much, daddy issue. Now, excuse me, I’m gonna go to the ladies’ before we hit the road.

Traci: I will go with you.

Ashley: No, you will not. I’ll be back in a second. Excuse me.

[ Traci sighs ]

Tucker: Seems we have an entirely new ashley this evening.

Traci: I don’t know what you mean.

Tucker: Tracy. [ Sighs ] I walked in on a family intervention about getting her help, and it would appear she hasn’t gotten any.

Traci: Look, I am not gonna have this conversation with you, tucker. You or audra. This is a private family matter. And I thought we all agreed that this is no longer any of your concern, so–

Tucker: She did threaten me.

Traci: And I think you can see by her behavior tonight, she couldn’t care less about you. So please, just take this opportunity to let it go.

Tucker: Let it go.

[ Clears throat ]

Audra: Wow. You know, this isn’t even funny anymore. She’s all over the place. And you called it. Something is really wrong with her. And I don’t want you facing her down again or asking any more questions.

Tucker: You seem more disturbed by her behavior than I am.

Audra: Just don’T. You said so yourself, okay? She threatened you.

Tucker: Yeah.

Audra: And, yes, I am a little freaked out by her constant mood swings and how she’s in our face when we just want to grab some dinner. I have had my fill of her. And I want you to stay away from her.

Tucker: I– what do you want me to do? I– I barely said two words to her.

Audra: “Oh, I’m so concerned.”

Tucker: I’m letting it go. But what about you? You– you claim to have had your fill of ashley, and yet here we are. We’re not eating. We’re talking about ashley. Are you going to be able to let it go?

Audra: Are you?

Tucker: Come on, let’s eat.

[ Audra exhales sharply ] (Vo) it’s shrimp your way.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Abby: Lily and billy have a history. They worked at chance comm together. I’m sure they still have some sort of connection.

Devon: Yeah, and they also lived together, don’t forget.

Abby: Look, I know you said you saw the two of them exchanging looks, but I didn’t see any of that. The mood in the room was enough to deal with.

Devon: I know my sister, and I’m pretty sure I know what I saw.

Abby: But you don’t think lily is teaming up with billy, do you? Billy voted against her about daniel’s lawsuit.

Devon: I know, and I– I– believe me, I would hate to think that he’s pressuring her in any way, but I know that she’s susceptible right now. They do have a history, and you and I both know that billy would probably like to get a little more control at chancellor-winters.

Abby: Okay, I know that billy doesn’t have the best track record, but I don’t see him using lily.

Devon: I think that billy is capable of practically anything.

Billy: You know, I would hate for anyone else to actually hear this. I don’t even know why I’m saying it right now, but I have always been afraid of my sister, ashley.

[ Lily laughs ]

Lily: Well, you’re her baby brother.

Billy: I know, I know. She’s so tough, you know? She’s so smart. She’s got that wicked sense of humor. To see her adrift right now is– is– is tough.

Lily: Well, if it can happen to her, what about us mere mortals?

Billy: I would love to fix whatever it is tucker broke inside of her. I really hate that guy.

Lily: Oh, are you kidding me? I hate him more, okay? Things he’s done to devon. But, I mean, ashley doesn’t deserve what he’s done to her. But, I mean, I’m happy that she has you and your siblings to be there for her.

Billy: Mm-hmm. I wish my dad was around. I’d feel a lot more confident about the situation if he was.

Lily: I know exactly what you mean. It’s hard when you lose that touchstone, you know? The person that you always turn to. I will always miss my dad and his advice.

Billy: It’s different with you, though. Like, for me… I’m never gonna be john abbott. Just not.

Lily: No.

Billy: I don’t have the wisdom. I don’t have it. You, though, you– your– your dad would be incredibly proud of who you are. And he’s walking right there, right alongside you. Every step of the way.

Lily: I think both of our fathers are.

Billy: Cheers to that.

Lily: Cheers.

Traci: Okay, um, why don’t you relax and I will make us some tea.

Ashley: What are you doing? Get back here before you ruin everything!

Belle: Well, well, well, miss abbott. Where’s that sweet child, ash? I haven’t seen her in quite some time.

Miss abbott: I sent her away because she’s more trouble than she’s worth. And now here you are, belle. Please don’t tell me I made a mistake by letting you come out and play.

Belle: Oh, honey, I may be a lot of things, but a mistake I certainly am not.

Miss abbott: We need to get something perfectly clear. I am the only one that can protect ashley the way she needs. And that means eliminating tucker. Permanently.

Audra: Look, all I’m saying is that I would love it if we never had to run into ashley again. But unfortunately, that doesn’t seem possible.

Tucker: No, as you pointed out, genoa city is not quite big enough to never run into people you don’t like.

Audra: You know, and I refuse to become a recluse and never go out to eat and shop because I might run into your ex.

Tucker: Say, I have an idea. We keep ashley away from us for good.

Audra: Don’t drag it out.

Tucker: All you gotta do is say yes. When migraine strikes, you’re faced with a choice. Happy mother’s day! Some things never change. Like a mother’s love. Get something as timeless as a mother’s love at harryanddavid.Com. Life is a gift. Share more. Whoah, woah, woah, woah.

Audra: Do you honestly carry that ring around with you? You’re not scared you’ll drop it or get mugged?

Tucker: It’s worth the risk.

Audra: Why, so you can whip it out and hope I change my mind?

Tucker: Yeah. I want to be prepared for that possibility. Yeah, well, I’m gonna keep this puppy handy at all times.

Audra: Tucker, just please… be honest with yourself. I am begging you to dig deep and recognize that you don’t really need or want this marriage any more than I do.

Tucker: I don’t know. To be audra charles’ husband? That’s how I would introduce myself at parties, you know. Hi, I’m tucker charles, audra charles’ husband. Wow. Lucky devil.

Audra: Tempting. But… I’m not gonna say yes.

Tucker: All right. Well, just know if I do get mugged, it’s your fault.

Belle: Homicide? Are you cuckoo crazy? That is something we just do not do.

Miss abbott: So you’re just like that stupid kid, huh? You can’t do the work that needs to get done, then get out of my way and let me handle things.

Belle: You mean sit back and watch you ruin ashley’s life? No, merci beaucoup. That is reckless, that is ill-advised, and I will not have it.

Miss abbott: You don’t like tucker any more than I do. Why are you fighting me on this?

Belle: That’s true. I do think that tucker mccall spells trouble for ashley. But, oh, the blood. The mess. Ooh, it’s just the wrong kind of drama. No, it’s a step too far. Way beyond the pale. Besides, you want to send us all to prison? Stripes are not my thing.

Miss abbott: Who the hell do you think you are, you stupid little slut?

Belle: You are just so full of venom. And your hatefulness is gonna make ashley’s situation, oh, so much worse.

Miss abbott: So what’s your bright idea?

Belle: Well, it’s easy as pie. I think the only way to get tucker out of ashley’s heart is to find her someone new to love. From all the fine talent I’ve seen here in genoa city so far, that’s not gonna be hard. That’s not gonna be hard at all.

Devon: I do still love having you on the board of chancellor-winters.

Abby: But do you still love chancellor-winters?

Devon: No, not so much. Not so much these days, I don’T. I just don’t want to dread going to work every day. You know? And wonder where the next hassle’s gonna come from. And it’s all it’s turned into now. And it was never supposed to be about just working to make money, either. It was about us working together as a family and creating a legacy to leave behind for the next generation.

Abby: And you think all of that’s getting lost in the noise?

Devon: Yeah, I do. I thought that going public and dealing with shareholders was bad, but I think this is probably a little bit worse.

Abby: Yes, maybe in this moment, but it’s not forever.

Devon: I don’t know about that. Because I never banked on billy intruding on things as much as he has. But it just feels like his whole time with us has been one big power play. And I hate being challenged about everything and waiting for our next face-off. Dude brings nothing but conflict to the table. And now that he’s in through his mom, he’s clearly not planning on going anywhere.

Billy: And johnny doesn’t even know I’m in the stands watching him. And he gets a game misconduct. Thrown out of the game off the ice…

Lily: What?

Billy: …Into the locker room.

Lily: No!

Billy: Here’s the best part. I go down there once the buzzer goes off to go check on him. Katie is right in there looking up at this older kid, screaming in his face saying…

Lily: Oh, my gosh.

Billy: …It was his fault that johnny got kicked out. It was like watching a little mini-victoria.

Lily: I can totally see that.

Billy: So then johnny comes in and gets right in between them to try and keep the peace. Which was incredible to me because they used to go at it when they were younger. You know, saw it…

Lily: Yeah.

Billy: …Every once in a while when they would come and stay at the apartment.

Lily: Mm-hmm. I did. I remember that very clearly.

Billy: You were always pretty good about getting them to calm down. You know, you’d give them that look.

Lily: What look? I don’t have a look.

Billy: Come on.

Lily: What?

Billy: You– you have a look.

Lily: I do not have a look.

Billy: You probably perfected it with your twins. And then you’d pull it out on my kids…

Lily: I did not.

Billy:…Every once in a while when they needed it.

Lily: Okay. Well, that was a long time ago.

Billy: Well, you still have it. I’m sure. I’m actually surprised you haven’t pulled that look out on devon and me.

[ Lily laughs ]

Lily: Well, maybe I should. Maybe.

Billy: Yeah. Well, there’s my reminder to stay on your good side, which is the best side, of course. Look or not.

Lily: That’s true.

Tucker: Let me ask you a question. When you were a little girl, did you ever daydream about your wedding?

Audra: Little girls grow up.

Tucker: All right. Just humor me for a second. What if you could have that wedding? The wedding you daydreamed of. The most romantic, spectacular wedding that you could ever imagine. Right? You’re walking down the aisle. You’ve got the perfect dress on. You’d be so beautiful.

Audra: You’re stupid.

Tucker: You’d– you’d have the– the– the diamond tiara, right? And a– and a ten-piece mariachi band. They’d be playing– [ Laughs ] Playing the wedding march. And the entire town, who we’ve invited, would just be absolutely blown away.

Audra: You know, I would love to see the look on some of those faces.

Tucker: Me too. It’d be the wedding of the century. Would you not love that?

Audra: You know, when I was younger, I pictured arriving at my wedding in a horse-drawn carriage. [ Laughs ]

Tucker: I love it. Done.

Audra: Yeah, but we can have all that without getting married. We don’t need anyone else to approve of our relationship.

Tucker: It’s not about everyone else. You know what? Screw the invitations. Nobody. I will get married to you in private. Because for me, it’s about… it’s about a promise to each other.

Audra: Yeah, it’s a promise people break every day of the week. Hey. Come here. Give me your hand. Stubborn. What if I make you a different promise? That I will go with you on a whim to any island you want. Or, when we have our new offices in france, I will decorate a suite for our special meetings. Or, I can just remind you every day that I’m with you, not because of some legal commitment, but because I love you.

Tucker: Say that again.

Audra: I love you.

Miss abbott: Find someone else to love. So, you think matchmaking is the solution to all of ashley’s problems.

Belle: Indeed, I do.

Miss abbott: It’s ridiculous! It’s a stupid idea. Big surprise.

Belle: Well, you can just yakkity yak all you want, sister. You’re forgetting one itsy-bitsy fact. I’m the one in control. And I ain’t letting go.

[ Miss abbott grunts ]

Traci: Okay. A little something. Um, ashley, I’ve been thinking about something. I have a little suggestion, if you don’t mind.

Ashley: Okay, shoot.

Traci: I’m getting the feeling that you’re still a little nervous about seeing a new therapist. Am I right?

Ashley: I suppose I am. Mm-hmm.

Traci: Okay, well, what would you think about your friend in paris? Didn’t you tell me that he was a psychologist? I mean, would you be more comfortable talking to him about your situation?

Ashley: Well, he is just so smart and charming and so attractive. Yes, he could work just fine. By the time I’m done, ashley will be saying, “tucker, who?” I think that would be an incredible idea. I really do. I think I’d feel a lot more comfortable with him.

Traci: Oh, that’s good. Because…

Ashley: Thank you.

Traci: I contacted our paris office and I got his information from your contacts and I’ve left a message for him. I’m waiting to hear back.

Ashley: I love this. Thank you so much. It’s a brilliant idea. It really is. It’s just… fantastic.

Traci: Oh. [ Chuckles ]

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless…

Man: You and I are friends, just like we were in paris.

Ashley: But there’s an agenda.

Cole: Hang on a sec. What is this? There’s something inside here.

Jack: Don’t make me push the door in.

Nikki: Fine. You asked for it.

Jack: My god. What happened here?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Are you waiting for someone? Nina, but it looks like she’s been held up. Well, I know how busy crimson can get. I hope you’re not waiting too long. No worries. The longer she takes, the more time I have to look for a new place. Moving? My rent is way too high. I really need to downsize. Yeah, I heard. You left deception. Wow. I mean, I’m sorry I didn’t text you about it. Not such a good friend, huh? It’s totally fine. I am doing great. Oh. Really? I mean — I mean, I know how much you put into that company. Yeah, with the — all the changes that were happening, it was time to go. And I’m really glad that I did. Okay. Well, the appearance on “home & heart”…? One-time thing. I don’t miss the job at all. I just haven’t quite figured out what to do next. Well, since you’re looking, would you be interested in working here at the metro court? Oof. Why are you putting that processed garbage in your body? I like it, and I’m hungry. I didn’t eat lunch. Why not? It’s not like you to forget your lunch. It’s not like you to forget anything. I gave it away. Why? It was a peanut butter sandwich. Yeah. I thought you liked those. I did. But that was all yuri ever makes, so now I’m tired of them. Leo, honey, are you ready to go? We got to pick up your friend teddy and get over to the aquarium pronto. I’ll get my backpack! Oh, my god. I am so starving. I have not had a chance to eat. Do tell. Tracy, I realize that dinners have been a little hit or miss lately, but if I make a couple of lasagnas today, it should last for the next couple dinners. Olivia, no. What? You don’t like my lasagna? I love your lasagna. Everybody here loves your lasagna, but this situation is madness. You are running yourself ragged at the hotel, and then you are condemning everybody in this house to life in leftover manor. Clearly, it is time to hire a cook. Bite your tongue. Told you I was fine. I know. You keep saying that. And my doctor agrees. Last night’s little episode — the temporary paralysis. Temporary. Yes. I’ve made a full recovery. Is — is violet here? I don’t want to argue in front of her. No, no, she’s still at school. We’re not arguing, dad. I’m just looking out for you. You, uh — you need to lie down? No, the couch is fine. And — and don’t worry. I’ll take it easy the rest of the day. Now, aren’t you needed at the hospital? Dad. I think we’ve reached a point where you shouldn’t be left alone for long periods of time. What exactly are you saying? I think we should consider an in-home caregiver. Just in case anything like last night happens again. Mom. Got a minute? For you, always. Aren’t you supposed to be in court? Court’s in recess for lunch. Interested? I don’t know. Depends. What you got? Turkey club with avocado. Oh. Yes. Not that you need an ulterior motive to come see your mommy. I need your help. I knew it. Legal advice? Kristina.

[ Sighs ] Okay. Well, I will be in soon. Thank you. Bye. I’m sorry about that, ava. City business. Ah, of course. I certainly don’t want to keep you from your mayor duties. Yeah, so I gathered, because you never answered my question. Which was?

[ Chuckles ] How do you feel about living with sonny? Did I hear my name?

[ Chuckling ] Oh, yes. Hi, sonny. What’s up? Uh, I need your help. B-both of you. Really? With what? Yeah, I-I want to commission one of your artists to, uh, create a piece so I can donate it — you ready for this? — To the city. What makes you think the city would be interested in that?

I appreciate your perspective. I realize that I have been a little overbooked lately. A little? I can feed my family. You need to face facts, olivia. You are spreading yourself too thin. You have reduced your son to eating “snackeroos” and peanut butter a la yuri. Okay. Carly’s back at the metro court, and — you’re missing the point! The quartermaine family has always had a cook. We need one. You trying to kick me out of my own kitchen?

[ Chuckles ] It’s “monica’s kitchen. Ugh. Alan gave it to her.” And you are not staff. You are a quartermaine. You live here, you don’t work here. And while I definitely admire your concerted effort, you cannot be responsible for feeding this family. I’m calling an agency. I’m getting referrals. No! I will agree to a cook… but only if I hire the cook. I’m co-owner of the metro court again. How did that happen? Nina sold her half. Wow. Well, congratulations. Thank you. I’m really happy for you. I-I’m just caught off-guard. Nina never told me anything about selling. Well, I think it happened pretty quickly. So…does that mean you would consider working for me? Of course I would consider it. I really appreciate the offer. But it’s not what you’re looking for, is it? I don’t know. I’m — I’m trying to look around and see what feels right. Yeah. I’ve been there. But you know what does feel right? You back here at the metro court.

[ Laughs ] Yes. And nina at crimson. Better there than here, yes.

[ Laughs ] I’m going to take these to a customer. Please, if you need anything, let me know. I’m happy to help. Thank you. I will. And I will definitely keep this place in mind. Thanks. Josslyn and krissy had another blow-up, and this time, josslyn had some very specific things to say about sonny. Kristina has very big feelings about her father. He’s her hero. Nobody knows that better than I do. I think that’s really why kristina was so upset, because deep down, she knows that the things josslyn was saying are true. And we talked, and she was calmer by the time she left. But then when tj found out that she’d come over so late and how wound up she’d gotten, now tj’s worried that all the stress is going to hurt our baby. And what did you say? I tried to defend kristina’s feelings. I mean, it is upsetting. I can’t even imagine, but there are other things to consider. The stress can’t be good for kristina or the baby. It certainly isn’t good for tj. Or you. It’s gotten to the point where prosecuting criminals is how I relax.

[ Chuckles ] Been there. So, I was hoping… could you talk to kristina? There are caregivers out there that can keep a low profile. There should be a babysitter when I’m alone with violet — for violet. Not for me. What if violet hadn’t been here last night? What if she hadn’t gotten you your ventilator? I knew something was wrong, and I asked violet to get the ventilator for me. If I had been alone, I would have called 911. And if that same paralysis had hit, and you were unable to dial? Well, fortunately, I’m not quite there yet. No, not — not this time. What about the next time? Because you and I both know it will happen again. And the time after that and the time after that. I don’t need to think about the time after that yet. I just need to be ready for the next time, and I will be, son. I promise. Dad? You know that’s not good enough. You know, I know we’re in your gallery, but couldn’t I have a moment alone with sonny? Yeah. By all means. It’s just you and me, laura. What’s on your mind?

Understand if you can’t seemy point of view, but… maybe you can see violet’S. I’ve never seen her more scared than what she was last night. Think about that. Put yourself in her shoes, watching her grandfather collapse. Running to get his ventilator. Watching him lie on the sofa unable to move. What do you think that did to her? So is violet afraid to be alone with me now? No. She’s not. She probably never will be. She loves you. She — she wants to spend all the time with you that she possibly can. What if things had been worse? But they weren’T. No. No, not this time. What about next time? What happens if you start to aspirate or collapse or convulse or pass out completely? Knowing violet, she’d probably try to save you. And if she couldn’t, she’d blame herself. I would never allow that to happen. At the risk of being the devil’s advocate, how would you stop it, dad? Look, we have a responsibility to make sure violet feels safe in her own home, right? That’s emotional blackmail. I know! It’s also the reality. It’s the reality that we have to accept. The bottom line, dad, is you need help. And when I’m not here, you need a caregiver. Period. Or what? Oh. Sasha.

[ Gasps ] Olivia, hi. This is perfect. Uh, you got a second? I do, yeah. What’s up? Okay. Well, first of all, I want to thank you for saving my neck the other day with the shepherd’s pie. Oh. It was absolutely delicious. Dante won’t stop talking about it. Frankly, I’m getting a little bit jealous. Well, I am very happy to give you the recipe. It’s one of those dishes that once you make it a couple of times, you can start to play around with it and add your own touches. Right. Right, right. Well, I do want the recipe. I can’t wait to make it. Uh, and that leads me to what I actually want to talk to you about. Um, ever since the last cook left at the quartermaines, I have been doing all the cooking. And when I get very busy, which does happen sometimes, the family’s sort of left to fend for themselves. So I’ve had to accept that — okay, it’s been pointed out to me that it’s time for the quartermaines to hire a new chef. You know, fend for themselves means different things to different people, like for — for leo and monica, it means that yuri makes eggs for breakfast and peanut butter sandwiches for lunch. Carly. May I have a moment?

[ Exhales slowly ] That depends. What’s it about? I got to find someone that I can work with, you know? I won’t go back — I cannot go back to the days when the quartermaines were banned from the kitchen, you know? I mean, b-before cook three left, I don’t think tracy knew where the kitchen was.

[ Laughs ] Well, that tracks. Yeah, I-I love cooking for my family. You know that. You know, I actually find it very, uh, therapeutic almost, you know? I feel the same way. There are people who find joy in life because of the labor intensity of my lasagna. Okay? Cooking to me has always been, I don’t know, peaceful. Grounding. Yeah. Yes. Uh, maybe it’s because I always cooked with my grandmother. Oh. The times that I spent in the kitchen with her, it’s — it’s definitely what I miss the most about her. Aww. You really loved her. Still do. And you love cooking through her, huh?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. I guess I do. And you’re good at it. So what do you say? Women have earthquake hormones during pregnancy. Right? So they live through it. Babies ride through it. I know that intellectually. It’s just — I know you’re worried. I know you’re terrified. Pretty much. But on bright side, you know how thrilled your sister is to do this for you. And she is oddly thrilled about the ups and downs of the pregnancy. I am so grateful to kristina for doing this, and I love how excited she is about it. I really do. But there’s something more. So what is it besides josslyn’s crusade? Well, this would just all be a lot easier if tj could relax a little. I mean, kristina’s emotions go to 11 over sonny, and then tj’s go to 11 over kristina. And I can imagine tj’s 11 is a lot different than your sister’S. Well, yeah, ’cause he’s always been so even-keeled. Whatever that means. I think it has something to do with boats. Never mind. Go on. So when he’s this upset, it doesn’t look like a lot, but if you know him… it’s seismic. Yeah, and when he’s upset, I get upset. And then I start to maybe think that this is actually all my fault, because tj has spent years and years listening to my side of my arguments and disagreements with my sister. And so maybe because of that, tj doesn’t trust kristina. Sonny, what’s behind this latest burst of philanthropy? It’s for my kids. I mean, you know, port charles has always been their home, and if they visit, um, city hall and they see something beautiful that I donated, then they could feel as proud of the city as I do. And proud of you? And what if, one day, your little girls find out that you nearly beat a man to death with your bare hands, do you think it’s all going to be okay because you donated art? Why — why — why would you ask me that? Laura, w-we’ve been friends for how many years? And you’re gonna — you’re gonna turn on me?

I don’t think that tj thinks krissy is a bad person or that she would ever do anything to intentionally harm the baby. Molly, of course not. But she is who she is. And he is who he is. And the two of them, they are emotional opposites. That they are. Tj and i are both just so excited and nervous to be parents, and we’re just treating every bump in the road like it’s this huge mountain to overcome, but there are bound to be bumps. Oh, there are, and there will be. And kristina has every right to be worried about her father. But I just — I don’t know how she’s gonna handle it if things get worse for sonny. What did he do now?

[ Sighs ] Will you just check in with kristina? Do I have to? Please? Okay. Thank you. I got to get back to work. You want me to take that down? No, no, no, no, I got it. You go. Okay. I love you, mom.

[ Chuckles ] That’s so good, ’cause I love you, too. Ah. I see finn called in reinforcements. No, not this time. Should he have? Well, am I expected to believe you’re not here to check on me?

[ Chuckles ] That’s a ridiculous question. Of course I’m here to check on you. That’s what friends do. Are you trying to pick a fight with me? No. I’m not. You sure? I’m sorry, I just — I saw my doctor today. What’d he say? That I’m back to what passes for normal for me these days. Huh. No expert, but that sounds like good news. It is. But it’s not good enough for my son. No, no, finn is insisting that I hire an in-home caregiver to monitor me. That sounds sensible to me. It’s not sensible. It’s overreacting. And it’s not gonna happen. How about what? You — you want me to help you interview potential cooks? No! I want you to be the new cook. Me? Yes! Wow, that’s the second job offer today. What? Uh, never mind. Okay, okay, here’s what I need. I need someone to do breakfasts, lunches, including school lunches for the endless parade of kids going through that house, and dinners on weeknights. I will do dinners on weekends and any other time that I want, but I promise I will give you a proper heads-up. And, honey, I know. I know that cooking for the quartermaines is not the same as, you know, cooking for yourself, but I promise you that everyone will be very patient with you while you get used to the job. So what do you think? Wow. I mean, I know it’s a lot to take in. I know. Yeah, it is. I never thought I would end up in a kitchen again. Again? There’s a electrical problem in my office. Really? We can’t have that. What kind of electrical problem? We’ve been experiencing random surges. Have you? That’s terrible. And it’s been happening more and more frequently. Funny. That never used to happen until the “emergency maintenance” the previous co-owner ordered for no apparent reason. The reason was flooding. And yet nothing was wet. But you’re having an electrical issue. So you know what I’m gonna do? I’m gonna hire the contractors you used since you liked their workmanship so much. Great. As long as the problem is addressed. Oh, one more thing, carly. Jason may have bought the metro court back for you, but the person you should really be thanking is… ava. I don’t see how trying to tell you the truth means that I’ve turned against you. Okay. Fine. You want the truth? I’m just saying I think that’s the least you’re going to owe your kids. Okay, do you tell your kids the truth about everything? Well, the important things, I really try. Alright. Let’s say donna and avery come to me one day and they say, “dad, hey, look, why’d you beat that guy up?” I’m going to say that I lost my temper. I had my reasons, but I regret my actions. Is that okay? You know, it’s just that I haven’t really seen any evidence of that regret, sonny. Well, you and I both know that cyrus is not a victim. Yeah, I know what he’s capable of. I do. That’s the thing. I-I don’t think you do. He belongs in prison till the day he meets his maker. Do you really think you’re in a position to judge, to judge who deserves to be behind bars and who doesn’t? Since when do you care about cyrus? He’s been your brother, what, five minutes? It’s because of what you did to him. You and I are family. We’re blood. Connected through spencer and rocco. Yes, I know. That’s true, but that has nothing to do with this, sonny. I don’t even know why we’re talking about this. What we’re talking about is — sonny, what we’re talking about is a lifetime of crime and violence that I have looked past time and again, and I can’t do it anymore. I just can’T. Okay? And… I can’t turn a blind eye anymore to your business. The things that you’ve done, the crimes, the people you’ve hurt… people that you’ve killed. And putting a wing on the hospital and donating art to the city, it doesn’t just make all of that go away. Okay? They still happened. They’re still there. They matter. They matter. It doesn’t just disappear because you did your daily good deed.

Okay, what does ava have to do with jason buying the metro court? I didn’t accept the offer right away. I talked it over with ava first, and she led me to believe that sonny would like it if I sold the metro court to his best friend. Well, she sandbagged you. Ava was standing right there when sonny called jason a traitor and threw us both out of the penthouse. Yeah, I figured that, after the deal was done — too late to change my mind. Well, it’s a pattern with ava. She uses people until they’re no longer useful. That’s what she did with my son. In the end, all ava cares about is getting what she wants. Well, in ava’s defense, not everyone has a jason to get her what she wants. Like losing a hotel fair and square. So much for you earning the metro court back on your own. Hello? Yeah, come on in. Oh, hi. This a bad time? I hope so. If not, I’d have nothing to report. Hey, look, I’m really sorry to bother you at work. I just, I was on my way to a meeting, and I — just, uh — what — uh — what’s going on? My father had a seizure last night. No. Resulted in a sort of temporary paralysis. Oh, god. He’s okay. My dad’s okay. Sit, please. Alexis, when I walked in, and I saw him lying there unable to move, and violet beside him, terrified, not knowing what was going on — is she okay? I think seeing her grandfather collapse and just lying there, and she had to run and get his ventilator, I think it’s something she’ll never forget. But right now, she’s as good as can be expected. How is gregory? His als is… progressing rapidly, but my dad — you know, I get it. He wants to be — he wants to be independent. He wants to make up for all those risks he never got to take in life, jumping out of airplanes and whatever it is that makes him feel alive, but — but. I, uh… I talked to him today, and I told him that I — I think we need to get some sort of in-home help when I’m not there, and he just flat-out refused, and we had this big argument. I’m sorry. I’m not shocked, but I am sorry. Yeah, me, too. You know, and I get it, and I’m trying to do — I am. I’m trying to do everything I can to support him. But at some point, I have to put my daughter first. The day is coming when I will be completely helpless, when I’ll need people taking care of my every need, my every bodily function, watching over me all the time, every single moment, but I am not there yet. You’re not. Far from it. Thank you. So why is it such a sin for me to hold on to what little autonomy I can for as long as I can? It’s not. Okay. You’re being very agreeable. I find it suspect.

[ Laughs ] You have every right to hold on to your autonomy as long as you possibly can. Thank you. Just as finn has every right to have a safe emotional environment for his daughter. He can’t risk violet finding you unable to move or worse. You’re not telling me anything that finn hasn’t told me already. Good. Then I assume he’s already asked you the obvious question. And what question is that? What is more important to you? Your pride, or your granddaughter’s well-being? What am I supposed to do, laura? Confess to everything I’ve been accused of? Well, that depends. How many of the things you’ve been accused of are true? Well, I’ve done far less than cyrus. I can tell you that right now. Yeah, but cyrus’ crimes don’t absolve yours. He held you at gunpoint. Wha– and I’m the bad guy? I —

[ Sighs ] I think there are two bad guys. I’m sorry. You know, you showed me that by what you did to him. What I do is I do everything I can to protect my business, my family, and everybody that I care about. And guess what, laura? That includes you. You know why? Why? Because — so the bad guys don’t come after you. Yeah. Well, being a-a good man when you’re not committing a crime doesn’t absolve you from the times that you do commit a crime. And being really good at covering up your tracks does not make you less guilty. At some point, sonny, at some point, you have to be held accountable. By who, laura? Think of your children. Okay? Your little girls, donna and avery. What’s going to happen when they get old enough to figure out what their father does for a living? And they will. You’re not going to be able to keep that from him. What are you going to say, sonny? I’m going to do what I always do. Do everything in my power… …to protect them. Yeah, I know you will. But who’s going to protect them from you?

I worked as a line cook and a part-time chef a few summers in the hamptons. I’m telling you. Sasha, this was meant to be! I was never, never the head chef. I was the substitute sous chef when the real sous was out. But you worked in a busy restaurant. So cooking for the quartermaines is gonna be a piece of cake. I mean, you know, an overly ornate, five-tier pain in the butt kind of piece of cake. But still, it’s a piece of cake.

[ Chuckles ] Olivia, this is really, really flattering. But are you sure that you want to offer me a job based on one shepherd’s pie? Honey, you love to cook. You’re a great cook. We need a cook. It’s a match made in heaven. Or a opening in the universe, depending on your spiritual beliefs. Not to mention the fact that cody shows up for dinner several nights a week, and I’m sure he wouldn’t mind having you around. Tell me that I’m wrong. Tell me that I shouldn’t just give in to him and give him everything that he wants. I can’t tell you that. And I want to give him everything he wants. I do. I mean, listen. Go parasailing, you know? Go get shot out of a cannon. Go into space and see earth from orbit, alright? Let’s do all of these things. I’ll do them with you. But I don’t think my dad can do those things right now. So shouldn’t I just grant him this, give in to him, give him this one thing? Maybe. I mean, it’s certainly worth trying again to talk to him, but I don’t know that you’re going to end up with different results. You’re right. I’m — I’m going to go back and talk to him. Well, I-I thought you were going to a meeting. Yeah. Yeah. I-I can do that later. Okay, so when the oxygen mask drops from a plane, what do you do?

[ Sighs ] You — you put your mask on first, but this is — it is the same thing. This is as challenging as it gets, and in order for you to navigate through this, you’re going to have to take care of yourself, which means taking care of your sobriety. I-I know what you’re saying. I do. I get it, but in this moment, that just feels so selfish. Then be selfish. Can your dad wait for an hour for you to go to a meeting? I’m not sure. What do the doctors think? Probably. I don’t know. Listen. I understand your father’s need to hold on to his autonomy for as long as he can. But I also know that nothing is more important to him than violet. I never want violet to be afraid the way she was last night. I was scared, too. When something like that happens, you never know when it’s going to end, if ever. But even while I was trying to stay calm, the worst part was knowing that I couldn’t comfort my granddaughter. How do you think she felt, not able to comfort you? I understand what you’re saying. I do. But you and finn need to understand what I’m saying. Okay. There is another solution. Great. I’m all ears. First, you have to decide what’s most important to you. If it is, in fact, spending the time that you have left with finn and violet here in their home, then you have to abide by finn’s wishes. But if your independence is your top priority, then you simply move into an assisted living facility. Turning woods is supposed to be really nice, and you can have violet visit you there. Look, I didn’t intend for us to have this conversation here today, and I really didn’t mean for it to go like this, either. I hope you’ll take some of what I said to heart, sonny, please. Just think about it. Just think about doing the right thing. Okay. At any rate, uh, the city of port charles will not be accepting your donation of art. Not while I’m the mayor. What happened to laura?

[Panting] E the time at your meetingto give your dad some time to think things through. And then talk to him again, tell him that you and chase and violet are worried about him and want him to have someone to take care of him when you can’t be there. And I think sooner rather than later, he will see your wisdom. Here’s hoping. And whether he does or not, you cannot take care of your family until you take care of yourself first. Yeah. That’s good advice. Yeah, I’m good. I’m good.

[ Laughs ] You are. In fact, I’m so good, I’m gonna follow my own advice. Hmm? Would you like company at your meeting? I’d love it. Gregory: You’re good. Oh, you’re going to have to narrow that down a little bit. The art of persuasion. Oh, that. Obviously, if I have to choose between turning woods and here, even with a caregiver, of course I choose here. Gregory, that’s not persuasion. That’s just common sense. And by the way, if I were in your shoes, I would be handling this much, much worse. I wouldn’t sit for it. I wouldn’t stay. I’d run away to the far corners of the earth where my family can’t find me, to help me, to care for me. And no matter how miserable and lonely I got, I’d still have my dignity and my freedom. And no one to share it with. But luckily, you, my friend, are so much smarter than I am. You, tracy quartermaine, are the smartest woman I know. I can’t say it isn’t tempting. I left deception because i wasn’t satisfied there anymore. I want something completely different from what I’ve been doing. And working as a chef for the quartermaines would definitely be different. Honey, look, I don’t want to pressure you. Of course not. But I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you that this was a live-in position, which means that you would get free room and board in a beautiful mansion with all meals included. So I’ll get to eat what I make. Better. You get to eat what i make. And get paid for it. Come on, sasha. What do you say? I say… it’s exactly what I need right now.

[ Both laugh ] Other than fixing electrical issues that you brought on yourself, is there anything else I can do for you? I might as well just tell you. I signed the divorce papers. Sonny and i are no longer married. But ava is closer to him than ever. And from one ex-wife to another, I don’t think ava is good for sonny. In fact… I think that she could be toxic for him. I don’t agree with you on much, but I do agree with you there. She doesn’t want my gift to the city. Oh. Yeah. Well, I was surprised by laura’s reaction at first, but I thought you could talk her into it. Public art benefits everybody. Not when it comes from the wrong person, I guess. Since when are you the wrong person? You have been unfailingly generous to the city of port charles. There are wings at the hospital and playgrounds in the park because of you. Doesn’t matter to laura. She can’t get past what I did to cyrus. Does she know that he provoked you? That he orchestrated his own beating? It wasn’t your fault, sonny. She thinks it was. I owned up to it, and now she wants to punish me. I’ve been good to laura. I’ve been good to laura for — for so many years. And she’s, you know, I thought she was loyal to me, but… guess not.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Huh. What’s this? I don’t know. Oh, it, it says that it is from, um Auckland, New Zealand. New Zealand? It must be from Allie. Let’s see. Yeah, here. Can you help me please? Here you go. Alright. Mr. and Mrs. DiMera Dupree. It is. Wow. It says, Dear Johnny and Chanel, It filled me with such immense joy to hear you two got married.

I wish you a wonderful life together. Love, Allie. Ooh, this is really sweet of her. Yeah, it is. It is sweet. You know, last I, uh, heard from her, she’s still head over heels for her blonde surfer beau. Yeah, well, I hope she’s half as happy as we are. Yeah. Should we, uh, you know? Yeah, why not? Sure. Let’s see.

I wish you had let me take you home. After the ordeal you’ve been through. I am fine, Abraham. May I remind you that I am still the mayor of this fine town, and as mayor, it is incumbent upon me to act mayoral. You can only let things slide for so long, you know that. I’m not arguing that. I want you to know that I am here for you.

I’m willing to help. Thank you. I appreciate that. Now, let me start by checking a few items off that to do list in my head. First order of business, have a little tête à tête with my district attorney.

I’m glad we’ve been dining a bit earlier in the evening. Gives us a little more us time. Yes, it does. We get to relax and spend time together. Oh, honey, how is the DiMera stock doing? Rebounding, I hope. It’s leveled off for now. Just trying not to give the peeps at Wall Street something to be jittery about.

Anything interesting in the Spectator? Uh, well, this may qualify. Um, they published your apology to Tate. Bottom of page one. Truth be told, I’m just waiting for that to be yesterday’s news.

Oh, well now, this is interesting.

Stefan DeMera, from behind bars, to behind the bar. Mr. Stark, where did you fine tune your lacerating wit? That’s an excellent question, I’m glad you asked. I suppose it started when one of the wheels from my mother’s infamous bar cart j Hello. Well, any updates? He’s booked solid through October. What? Who? Dr.

Campbell. The plastic surgeon who said he can make me look just like Timothy Chalamet. I was calling to ask about Eric’s job application as a photographer at The Spectator, you idiot. Oh, that. Need I remind you, Leo, that you will not be seeing a penny of that blackmail money if I don’t have money to pay my bills.

The rent? Need. I remind you, tts, that I voluntarily took a very generous pay. Cut. Alright, fine. For the sake of that adorable little peanut’s. Gorgeous. Daddy. I mean, daddy, I will, you’ll, I’ll work on it. And Lady Whistleblower, thanks you for your tip. Who is that? Chadwick? I cannot reveal my sources. Okay. Is the, uh, column ready to go live?

Almost. Uh, the photos aren’t ready yet. You know, our photographer has been less than reliable as of late. Yeah, I wasn’t aware of that. Yes, well, it is a demanding job. And you know how artistic types can be kind of capricious. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to have a backup? Yeah, I suppose. Oh, you know who came by yesterday looking for photography work?

Eric Brady. And I have to say, I’ve seen his photography first hand. He’s uber talented. Shall I send you a link to his portfolio? Yeah, yeah, sure. I’ll take a look.

Just hold East Salem in charges. There can only be one explanation. As long as I haven’t had a fear.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, my God. This can’t be happening.

Melinda? Hi. Oh, I’m okay. I’m, uh, Actually, no, I’m, I’m, I’m not okay. I, uh, I just got notified that as this attorney of record, inmate 493601, a. k. a. Dimitri Van Leuschener, is set to be released from Maximum Security Damn it, Melinda, he knows about Jude. What if he talks

Brady, B-R-A-D-Y? Eric,

1489. Yes, um, I’m calling to dispute some charges on my wife’s credit card. Sloan Peterson.

No, no, there’s no need for a new credit card, not yet. But I am hoping that you could answer one more question for me.

Hey, thanks for the recommendation. Eric’s work is, uh, is, is great, so I’ll keep him in mind. Oh, so you’re not gonna hire him right away? No, first things first, we have a, uh, a reporter vacancy that needs to be filled. So, uh, I put an ad in the paper and, so far the, uh, applicants have been a little light on qualifications.

You sure you’re not interested? Who, me? Yeah. Come on, you want Lady Whistleblower to let down scores of emotionally untethered lushes to do what? Cover a skirmish in a parking lot? Fender bender in a roundabout? Or God forbid, attend those snoozefest city council meetings, Chadwick? I don’t think so. With our current mayor, the city council meetings aren’t quite a snoozefest.

But I hear you. So, keep up the good work.

So, what is EJ up to now? Where do I start? I know he gave his brother an offer of a sweetheart deal so he could walk. His very guilty brother. And then there’s that mockery of a press conference he held without notifying my office. I’m going to lay down the, I’m going to lay down the law, Abraham. I’m going to stop to these Machiavellian games he’s playing.

Well, we both know what happens when people lock horns with the Damaris, especially E. J. I mean, it never ends well. Yeah, well, when that ruthless bastard locks horns with Mayor Paulina Price, Oh, you’re right, it’s not going to end well. For him. I have an idea. Why don’t we go down to the screening room and put on a film?

What were we, what were we meant to watch? Uh, An Officer and a Gentleman? Oh, yes, I remember watching that movie years ago and having a huge crush on Richard Gere. Um, but maybe another time, okay? Because I have to go out for a bit. Something I need to take care of. Something, huh? There’s a little bit of mystery in that tone of yours.

Yes, and I will tell you when I get back. Well, well, well, bonsoir to the newlyweds. Hi, I hope we’re not interrupting. We just wanted to show you this beautiful wedding gift that just arrived. Oh, that’s lovely. Yeah, it’s from New Zealand, courtesy of my sister. That’s very thoughtful of her. But listen, I would love to stay and schmooze, but I gotta go.

We’ll see you two later. Mm hmm. Okay, have fun. Bye. Oh, actually, I have a wedding gift for the two of you as well. Oh, but, but you and Nicole already gave us that gorgeous porcelain sculpture. This is a different kind of gift. Oh. Open it. Okay.

Uh, wow. Thanks, Dad. That’s a lot of zeroes. Well, you two have a long future ahead of you with plenty of expenses, and I’m more than happy to help. That’s very generous of you. Thanks. Yeah, thank you. This is so, uh, well, um, but, but really we Uh, uh, uh, uh, not another word. I want to help. I also have something else I want to talk about.

What’s that? Son, how would you like to come and work for me at DiMera Enterprises?

Just think about it. We can start you off in sales, get you acclimated, and obviously you can work your way up. Look, Dad, it’s a very generous offer, and I don’t want you to take this the wrong way. But as I’ve said to you many times before, the corporate life, the 9 to 5, it’s just, it’s not for me. I know it wasn’t in the past, but priorities tend to change when you become a married man.

And perhaps you want to start a family? EJ, uh, like Johnny said, this is a very generous offer. But I don’t want him doing anything that doesn’t make him feel inspired. Johnny marches to the beat of his own drum, and that is why I fell in love with him. And I, I wouldn’t change that for the world. I understand.

Still, it is a standing office, son. So, if you ever change your mind, please let me know. I will. And, uh, Dad, thank you. Seriously, again, for everything. Of course. Oh, don’t you want to tell your dad what we’re doing later today? Oh, right. Uh, Dad, I, um, I wanted to tell you that Chanel and I are going Tonight to check out a few apartments.

Yeah, we found this one that overlooks the river that we really love. We love it in the pictures. So we’re just hoping that we love it in real life. Of course, and please let me know how it goes. We will. And dad, thank you again for the check. Of course. And good luck.

EJ Demara da Demara. It’s Mayor Price. What can I do for you, mayor? I’d like to see you in my office. ASAP. Okay. Well, uh, let me check my schedule and, uh, see when I have free time. Uh, let’s say next week perhaps I didn’t make myself clear. Oh, I’d like to see you. Oh, let me check my schedule. Now. Now. It’s quite late.

Pastena. It doesn’t sound like I give a damn. I am in my office. I expect to see my district attorney seated across from me post haste.

Hey, Chad. Hey. Hey. Hi, Paul. Is this a bad time, or? Um, no, it’s fine. What can I do for you? Well, I was at home relaxing, reading The Spectator when I came across an ad for a reporter. Um, is the position still open? It is, yeah. Why? Do you want to recommend somebody? Yeah. Me.

Okay, look. I know that there’s a rather glaring gap in my resume. But what’s not on there is that I ran EJ’s campaign for mayor. And that took a lot of know how and chutzpah, if you know what I’m saying. And not to mention that I’m a go getter. And I’m very inquisitive and I love to get to the bottom of the story.

Okay, look. I mean That’s a, that’s a hell of a pitch. Um, do you have any prior experience in print media? Well, um, admittedly, not, not that much. Okay, that’s fine. Um, how about some, uh, writing samples? Not really. Okay, and uh, yeah, off to a great start.

There he is, my oh so loyal district attorney. To the man of war. Um, a query, ma’am. If, if I may, what’s so pressing that you’ve summoned me here on a Friday night, I need, I remind you, Mr. DeMera that as the DA, you are a servant of the people and you damn sure want serving anyone with that dumpster fire of a press conference that you didn’t even bother to tell me you were holding.

Listen, man, you cut a sweetheart deal with your Reprobate brother, after only a few measly weeks served for trafficking narcotics to our children. What the hell, EJ?

Anything else, Mayor Price? Oh, yes, there is. That drug ring has been the bane of my existence from the very beginning. Very moment the gavel was handed to me and you’d be wise to remember this that as the D. A. you work for me and the people of this city and you’re getting far too big for your britches to be thinking that you can make those kinds of decisions unilaterally.

This stops now. Well, kiddo? What you’re about to hear is mommy doing some serious damage control before things really begin to spiral. What does she want now? Sloane! Lovely to hear from you, as always. Where are you? I’m at the Chateau Stark, aka the Shangri Leo. Come on. I’m at the Salem Inn. We need to talk.

ASAP. Don’t move, I’m on my way. Oh, okay. Just invite yourself over. Whatever happened to manners? Boundaries? My therapist says, Leo, you should do something nice for yourself. Get a lavender scented bath bomb. Well, Dr. Mandelbaum, how am I supposed to even take a bath when everyone keeps putting me right in the middle of their drama?

Sloan? Already? I’m sorry. Did she fly over on a broomstick? Shoes off!

Look, I, I don’t want to make things awkward, and I can tell by your body language that you don’t want to hire me, and, and that’s okay, because I really would Whoa, listen, um, I think you need to work on your people reading skills. Oh. Because that’s not what I was thinking. Not at all. Oh, uh, does that mean Nicole, you have more experience than Xander, Leo, and myself.

And the newsroom is a, uh, is a little bit male heavy at the moment. Okay, does that mean you’re willing to take a chance on me? Yes, it is, but under one condition. Uh, yeah, yeah, name it. Okay, look, it’s no secret that the DiMeras make a lot of news in this town. And although my last name is DiMera, I’m not their mouthpiece.

Okay? You’re married to the DA. You live in that house. So for the sake of journalistic integrity and the reputation of this paper Okay, I promise, I promise. I will be fair and balanced. Always. I’m sure you will be. But there still needs to be guardrails. Okay? So if you’re gonna work here, there’s gonna be no covering any stories that involve your husband.

Period. Is that good? Yes. Yeah, sounds fair to me. Okay. Good. Then we’ll give it a shot. For a trial period. And then, uh, you know, we’ll see how it goes. Ha! I promise, Boz, I will not let you down. Oh, what the hell? Oh my gosh! Must I remind you, Mayor Price, that you are also but a humble servant to the good people of this fair city.

Yeah, you threw caution to the wind, violating not only hospital protocol, but that of a decent human being by sneaking out of said hospital, thus creating a grave public risk by exposing others to radiation. While you were supposed to be in isolation, my daughter was missing and I needed to help find her.

These are private matters, private matters. I do believe the good people of Salem would disagree. I’ll have you know, Mayor, that I have already fielded several calls from first responders, and they were none too happy with your reckless shenanigans. In fact, one of them even discussed the possibility of filing criminal charges.

What? No one was hurt. There certainly could have been. You were very lucky. Now, well, luck didn’t save my daughter, so I don’t regre I have no regrets about what I did. And you can save all that hot air for someone who buys into your little intimidation schtick. Because I most certainly do not. You know, I, uh, I like to keep my ears open to the public.

Talk to them, shake their hands, take selfies with them, et cetera, et cetera. And I’ve been hearing quite a few murmurs from the people about how they are wishing for the good old days of the other Mayor Carver. The sane one.

So, what did you think of that last apartment? It was hangry. Great Southern exposure, right? Yeah, yeah. No, I, I loved the view too, but that kitchen, are you kidding me? Oh, yeah. I was small, huh? ? Yeah. Oh, hey, here’s Abe. Hey, hey, hey. Chanel. Johnny. Hey Abe. Yeah. Hey. Why don’t you two join me if, if you’re not in a rush?

No, we’re not. Yeah. We actually just finished looking at apartments and we saw one that we really liked, but the kitchen was too small. Yeah, and uh, the one before that, the master bathroom was a little small as well. You know, coming from the Jumeirah Mansion, everything must seem small. But at least it’ll be ours.

Yeah, and you know, we’ll find something. We’ll find something great. How are you two feeling after your, your snowbound misadventure? Oh, you mean, did, uh, being too close to Mama affect us at all? Actually, no. No, we tested fine. Both of us. Yeah. No harm done. Well, thank God. Yeah. Leo, can I come in now? Uh, oh, actually this isn’t a good time.

My book club is coming over shortly. We’re discussing Fifty Shades of Gay and I’m only halfway through it. This is your room? It is, yeah. And my wife is paying for it. What? Paying? Actually, it’s more like More like what? Um, well, maybe Sloane can better explain it to you. Why don’t you go home and talk to her?

You know, this whole time I thought Sloane was having an affair, but after seeing you now, I realize I was wrong. Oh, you were. Beautiful as she may be, she is not my type.

It’s just housekeeping. No more towels, thank you. Dry as a raisin in here.

Just a second. What are you doing here? Go, go, go! It’s an emergency. Dimitri is about to be released from prison. Dimitri? My Dimitri, the one who’s abs can play hide and seek and does the tick, tick, tick. Yes, that one! Oh,

oh, back. EJ DeMera, so good. Smug, so pompous, so imperious, so, so, so all those adjectives. Oh, I’m just boss for heaven’s sake. To insinuate that folks are secretly pining for the good old days of Mayor Carver. The quote unquote sane one. Oh, no, no, no offense Abraham, you were a wonderful mayor. But he was going for the low blow.

Oh, Rager does not press the buttons, not unlike my beautiful and feisty wife. How dare that woman speak to me that way? Accusing me of flouting the ethical responsibilities of the Office of District Attorney, and of the so called dumpster fire at a press conference. I was so holier than thou, as if she herself My God, I’m so sorry.

I’m so caught up in the mayor and her drama that I forgot to ask you about your mysterious outing and what that was all about. What was that all about? Well, uh, I think we should sit down. Okay, now you have me worried. No, no, it’s nothing to worry about. It’s just that it’s important to me. Okay, then. Well, you now have my undivided attention.

Okay. So, you remember when I told you I wanted to do something meaningful with my time? Yes, I do, though To me, Nicole, everything you do is meaningful. Oh, thank you. But I mean outside of our family and our life. I just, I want to have purpose and a career and, well, today I was offered something that I believe might give me that sense of purpose.

Oh, okay. Okay, so, um, I saw an ad for a reporter in The Spectator, so I went over to the office and I talked to Chad and, I got the job! A reporter? Yeah, yeah, and Chad was eager to hire me. But sweetheart, is that, is that a good idea? Given that I’m the DA, not to mention that you’re also adjacent to the goings on of Demira Enterprises, isn’t that like a conflict of interest?

Okay, well, Chad and I talked about that, and no, it’s not a conflict of interest, because I won’t have anything to do with Demira. Honey, this could be good for you and for me and for our relationship and I will finally bring something to the table, something that I’m proud of. Honey? Come on. Please tell me that you approved

Fine, fine, fine. I’m on board. Really? Mm-Hmm? . . Okay. Oh, I love seeing that fire in your eyes again. So I support you wholeheartedly. Congratulations, my darling. Oh, thank you, ej. Thank you so much. Here’s to your new gig and to having purpose. Mm-Hmm. . Hmm. I actually think I have a great idea for a story that could make a splash.

Oh, let’s hear it. It would require a little bit of investigative journalism and it would need a depth touch. Oh, well, I’ve been known to have one. What’s your idea? I think the spectator should do a story on Mare Price and her unconscionable behavior. During the Smith Island snowstorm.

Sloane, what are you doing here? Hey, I, uh, I came just to tell Leo his boyfriend’s being released from prison. Why are you here? I’m trying to figure out why you’re bankrupting our family to pay for Leo’s room here. What? Babe, what are you talking about? I have no idea what you’re talking about. Then explain this to me.

Why are all these reoccurring charges? On your credit card for the Salem Inn. Honey, I, uh, look. Because I found out that they’ve been happening for the last six months, actually. Wait a second, you opened my mail? You do know that that is a federal offense, Eric, right? And I can’t believe that you’re conducting some kind of amateur investigation behind my back.

Really, Sloan? I don’t know what kind of game you’re playing, but I’m here for the truth.

All right, start talking. Try the truth. All right? All right, I’m really starting to lose my patience. Can we do this fast? Uh, it’s the truth. Eric, Leo was my client. And I felt terrible because I couldn’t get the love of his life out of prison. And the poor guy, he had no job, he had no money. I was just trying to get him back on his feet.

Eric, your wife is a saint. See, I was, I was broken inside. Like she said, I had lost the love of my life, my best friend. I was spending my days eating cookie dough, ice cream, and watching reruns of The Office, which is a very straight person thing to do, right? That’s how depressed I was. And then Sloan, generous, kind hearted Sloan, reached out her hands, lifted me up, and for that I will forever be grateful.

Do you know that Eric thought you were renting this room because you were having an affair? Well, I think it’s pretty evident that that was clearly not what was going on here. Of course not. And who would possibly be sleeping around on Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome here? Well, taller than me anyway. Okay, I can buy that you’re not having an affair.

And understand why you’re helping Leo out, but he has a job now, so why are you still giving him money? I know, I know. I was, I was being too generous. Yes. Rettlick, I spoke with I’m a shopaholic. I can’t help myself. I fly to New York, I walk up and down 5th Avenue, and I come back to my hotel room with bags filled with Pashmina sweaters.

My highly refined fashion sense, it is a gift, and it is a curse. Sloan, I I know that I should not have taken advantage of your generosity, and I promise I will pay you back. If you can please forgive me for leaning on you so hard. Of course, Leo. And I admire you taking responsibility for your behavior, and I accept your apology.

Hug? Sure. Okay, that’s enough. I’m not sure if I should believe you’re telling me the truth or not, but this stops right now, right here. All right, no more excuses, no more generosity. Supplementing Leo’s income, paying for this room. It’s over. Immediately.

So what do you think? An expose on Mayor Price and her most recent and possibly most egregious misappropriation of power. What a coup, right? I don’t, I don’t know, EJ. I don’t even officially have the job yet. And a take off from the starting line with a potentially career threatening accusation against our beloved mayor?

Beloved by whom? Not the everyday citizens I’ve been talking to. Okay, well, Chanel, I mean, she is Paulina’s daughter and married to your son. Yes, I’m aware of that. Which, selfishly, is all the more reason people need to be aware that she is a ticking time bomb. Lest we forget, she put our lives and the lives of others at serious risk by carelessly running off to Smith Island when she was more radioactive than a bloody house cat in Chernobyl.

Okay, don’t you think that’s possibly a bit dramatic? Absolutely not. And I think it is someone’s duty to tell the truth. And even when the truth isn’t pretty, especially when the truth isn’t pretty

Oh, excuse me, I have to take this. I trust the spectator will do the right thing. Do you care?

Spectator, hello? Hey, Chad, it’s Nicole. Hey, Nicole, what’s up? You didn’t change your mind about the job already, did you? No, no, definitely not. Um, actually, I have a story to pitch. Already? Have at it. Truthfully, it may be a little close to home for me to write. I’m not even sure if it’s worth pursuing. I mean, uh, um I’ll leave that for you to decide.

Oh, I love this movie. Oh, I miss the days when you had to go to work. Oh, what’s it called? Oh, yeah, yeah, Blockbuster. You be searching for a movie, and sometimes they didn’t have it, so you just had to make do with watching Lethal Weapon for the umpteenth time. It is good to have you home, Chloe. Home? It’s good to be home.

I just, I just hope the kids and Julie are okay. I’m sure they’re fine. Oh, you know, I meant to tell you that while I was waiting for you to finish up in the office I ran into Chanel and Johnny and they were searching for an apartment

Makes me so happy. Oh, I just hate the idea of her Living in that creepy mansion with that crooked DA. Well, they seemed excited. They’re ready to move on. Can’t blame them. Young newlyweds just, just starting off in life. Well, but, uh, they looked, you know, they looked okay to you, didn’t they? I mean, you know, health wise.

You know, no coughing. You know, lethargy or anything. They didn’t seem ill to you, did they, Abraham? Yeah. They were fine, like I said. You know, I thought that you’d really like that last place with the, uh You know, the minimalistic style, but you didn’t really seem to be too into it. No, no, I did. I just, oh man, I’m suddenly just so, so tired.

And it’s kind of hard to be excited about something when you just, all you want to do is just go to sleep. Well, it is no surprise that you’re tired. Okay. You were at the bakery since before the sun Plus, with everything that we’ve been through, you probably need to catch up on a lot of rest. Yeah, I think you’re right.

Hey, you okay? Yeah. Yeah? Yeah, I just, I really want to crawl into bed right now. That’s a good idea. Let’s get you home, huh?

[ Dramatic music ]

Deacon: Sugar and sheila are one and the same.

Finn: Yeah, I’m not following you, deacon.

Deacon: Sheila convinced sugar to have cosmetic surgery, but sheila was in cahoots with the surgeon. When he was finished with sugar–

Finn: They look alike?

Deacon: No, not alike. Identical.

Finn: So, what, this sugar woman, she’s just been rotting in prison all this time?

Deacon: Yes, yes, except, except, she was recently released. Sugar is a mirror image of sheila, but with ten toes. That’s who I saw in the crematorium. Sugar, not sheila.

Finn: And you’re really buying this?

Deacon: Yes, sheila is out there. I don’t know where she is, but you and me, we gotta go find her.

Steffy: Sure you don’t want any breakfast? Babe? Breakfast. You hungry?

Finn: Oh, um, no, I’m– I’m good. I’ll just– I’ll grab something later.

Steffy: Hey, you were like this last night. Quiet, distracted. Is it a work thing? You wanna bounce ideas off of me?

Finn: Thanks. I, um– right now, I have more questions than answers, but hopefully that’ll change soon, and when it does, you’ll be the first to know.

Steffy: I love you so much. You’re so caring and loyal to your patients, people you care about. It’s really sweet. All right, I’m gonna head to the office.

Finn: I love you too. I mean it. And I know I’ve put you through a lot recently, but never question my love and commitment for you.

Steffy: I don’T. No, we’re doing great. I know how much you love me, how you always put me and the kids first. I know that. I’ll see you tonight.

[ Finn sighs ]

[ Phone pings ]

Deacon: Today’s the day we’re gonna find you, sheila.

Carter: Wow, the contracts with the new distributors have been finalized. You had a productive trip, my friend.

Ridge: I did, and it was a fun trip, too, hanging out with douglas and thomas. Pretty good.

Carter: I’m glad to hear they’re adjusting, that they’re doing well.

Ridge: You and me both. Projections look good.

Carter: Yeah. Yeah, if everything stays on the current trajectory, yeah. Ridge, are you sure you don’t wanna think about reallocating funds to couture–

Ridge: Yeah, I’m sure everything’s good. And hope for the future’s gonna stay the same. They’ve been rattled enough.

Carter: Have you seen any designs?

Ridge: I have. Preliminaries, anyway. Hope for the future’s in really good shape. Even with thomas taking a break, I think that rj and zende, they’re a good team. And, give them enough time, they’re gonna handle anything put in front of them.

Luna: You heard?

Brooke: I did. Oh, luna. Are you okay?

Luna: You’re not upset?

Brooke: No, I am. I’m very upset. I’m upset for you and for rj and for this whole situation. I can’t believe it. Your mother and the mints? And zende? I’m shocked at zende. But really, I’m– I’m here because of you. I wanna make sure that you’re okay, and just to let you know that, woman to woman, this is a safe place.

Luna: Thank you.

Brooke: I was taken advantage of a long time ago.

Luna: That’s– that’s awful, but I wanna be clear, zende did not take advantage of me.

Brooke: Well, I don’t think that he would. But… he still… [ Scoffs ] He knew. He knew that you’re in a serious relationship with my son, and that you went to eric’s with rj. And yet, he thought that he could just sleep with you?

Ridge: Do we have any idea where brooke is?

Carter: No, I haven’t seen her yet.

Ridge: Huh. I really thought she’d be in this meeting, to just keep me from cutting the budget on hope’s line.

Carter: Maybe she didn’t wanna influence you.

Ridge: That is exactly why she would be here. Anyway, I’m not cutting the numbers. I think we’re doing great. We gotta make sure that rj and zende keep working together. It’s good for the line.

Carter: Yeah.

Ridge: Yeah? What is that?

Carter: It’s nothing.

Ridge: No, it’s something. What are you doing? I know. I get it. They’re cousins, and they’re both up-and-coming designers, but you know what? They’re gonna lock horns. That’s what artists do. It’s okay. At the end of the day, they’re gonna talk to each other, and they’re gonna compromise.

Carter: If you say so.

Ridge: If I say– yeah, you know what? Get out. Ye of little faith. Go do something.

Steffy: Oh! You just get back from your business trip and you’re already kicking people out.

Carter: Perfect timing. And for the record, he’s not kicking me out. I was gonna leave on my own.

Ridge: I am kicking you out. That’s why you’re leaving.

Carter: I was gonna leave before you kicked me out.

Ridge: Okay. See ya. Hi.

Steffy: Hi.

Ridge: How you doing?

Steffy: I’m good.

Ridge: Did you miss me?

Steffy: I’m good. Of course I missed you.

Ridge: I missed you more. You look great.

Steffy: Thank you. How was your trip? You did see douglas and thomas, right?

Ridge: I did. Douglas is great. You know, he’s just thriving. And thomas is good. What about you? Is deacon still pulling the same stuff about sheila? Is he still telling stories?

Deacon: Hollis, I’m gonna need you to hold down the fort today. I’ve got something I’ve got to take care of. It’s personal. You can do this. I trust you. All right. Bye.

[ Knocking on door ] Finn, hey. Thanks for coming. How you doing? Yeah, me too. I didn’t sleep all night. Just going over in my head about sugar and sheila and everything we learned.

Finn: Yeah, I’ve, um– I’ve thought about it too.

Deacon: Good. So, you believe me. Sheila’s alive.

Finn: I mean, as farfetched as a story as it is, and as improbable as the whole thing seems, I mean, yeah, you– um, you have me thinking.

Deacon: Well, good, ’cause I’m right. And time’s running out for sheila, and we need to find her right now.

If you’re taking

an antidepressant,

Luna: When did you find out?

Brooke: The other day. But don’t worry. Rj insisted that I don’t tell anybody. He’s very protective of you and your feelings.

Luna: God, I’ve– I’ve hurt him so much.

Brooke: I know this is a complicated situation, but he does love you very much.

Steffy: Sheila carter died that night. Her death was investigated. I was cleared. This should be the end of it.

Ridge: It is the end of it. And whatever story he’s coming up with just make him look like a complete idiot. He went to the crematorium, he saw it, and then a few seconds later, he comes up with this new story.

Steffy: Yeah, that he says he saw ten toes. It should be nine. What?

Ridge: None of this makes sense to me, but that’s deacon, right? He hasn’t played with a full deck for a long time. But this is messed up. Even for him.

Deacon: I was up all night long trying to figure out how the hell we’re gonna find sheila with what we have.

Finn: Okay, which isn’t much, by the way. Well, all we know is that sheila’s arch-nemesis, sugar, was released from prison some time ago.

Deacon: Yeah, with revenge on her mind.

Finn: Okay, but we don’t even know that for sure.

Deacon: Okay, but you’re forgetting about the text that sugar sent sheila. I mean, they were pretty damn menacing.

Finn: That’s true.

Deacon: Plus, we heard from lauren fenmore about how sugar feels about sheila.

Finn: She hated her for what she did to her face, and that she let sugar go to the mental ward for the crimes that sheila committed.

Deacon: Come on, if you were sugar and she did that to you, wouldn’t you feel the same way? You’d be looking for payback.

Finn: Okay, you really think she did something to sheila?

Deacon: All I know is when I start putting all this together, I get a chilling feeling, you know?

Finn: No, I don’t, I’M… okay, I’m trying to wrap my head around this and go there with you, but, like, even if this was true, like, how do you even expect to find sheila? She could be anywhere.

Deacon: Well, like I said, I stayed up all night and came up with an ace in the hole. Sheila’s credit card password is on her tablet. I figure we go through her spending history, we’ll find a clue that leads us to her.

Deacon: Finn, come here. Take a look at this. These are all her purchases in the days and weeks leading up to that night.

Finn: It seems like stuff you’d expect, huh?

Deacon: That’s a lot of pedicures for a lady with nine toes.

Finn: Whoa, wait, deacon, stop.

Deacon: Why?

Finn: Go back, you’re scrolling too fast. What is… what’s that charge? It’s a convenience store.

Deacon: That’s kind of a rough neighborhood.

Finn: Why would sheila go someplace like that?

Deacon: She wouldn’t, at least not voluntarily. Finn, this could be it. This could be the clue that we’re looking for. Let’s go.

Luna: I know I should’ve told rj sooner, but I swear, I wasn’t– I wasn’t trying to lie to him. I mean, keeping this secret was– was killing me. I mean, I– I just– I love him so much, and I wanted to protect his relationship with zende.

Brooke: It’s okay. You have nothing to apologize for.

Luna: Oh, we were so happy at eric’s, and there was so much love and excitement in the air, and I had– I had no idea that I had been taking my mom’s laced mints. So, um, I got tired and I left, and– and then I started getting really thirsty, and there was some water in the guest house, and I don’t know, that’s– that’s the last thing I remember. I must’ve laid down or something. It was supposed to be such a beautiful evening, and… it turned into a nightmare.

Ridge: Well, at least deacon hasn’t gotten into finn’s head with all this garbage.

Steffy: Not yet, anyway. If he keeps chipping away, it’s gonna make it harder and harder for finn to make peace with sheila’s death.

Deacon: Hey. You work here?

Finn: Okay, look, I understand this is extremely random, but we’re looking for someone.

Deacon: Look, a woman made a purchase here in your store a couple weeks ago. Bought a couple hundred bucks worth of stuff.

Michele: You two cops?

Deacon: No. No, but we think this woman could be in danger. Look, you recognize her? You seen her face before?

Michele: I can’t say I have.

Finn: Are you sure? Can you look again?

Michele: Nope. Never seen her.

[ Buzzer sounding ]

Dinn: Okay. Now what?

Deacon: I don’t know. We can’t give up.

Tom: Let me see your friend. I see everyone that comes in and out of this place. If you spit blood when you brush, And I landed this internship, and I didn’t think that my life could get any better. Right? And then, I meet rj and you and ridge and eric. I mean, the whole family, you guys have been so wonderful and welcoming towards me. And the last thing I wanna do is cause any of you pain. I mean, especially rj.

Luna: We know who you are. Sweet and kind and honest.

Luna: I, um… I love your son so much. And the way he’s changed my life and the experiences we’ve shared together, it’s just… it really breaks my heart what happened with zende.

Brooke: I think that he’s trying to be understanding.

Luna: I know. But that’s who he is. He’s just, like, this amazing guy, but I know that this is killing him.

Brooke: And I hate what’s happened to you. It’s really not fair. You know, you’re a beautiful, intelligent, positive young lady that’s brightened our son’s life. All of our lives. You know it’s not your fault, right? I just want you to know that I’m here for you. And I always will be. Always.

Ridge: So wait, every time deacon calls, finn goes over there?

Steffy: You know finn. He’S… okay, it’s hard for him to say no.

Ridge: Okay. Even if it’s not in his best interest.

Steffy: Dad, I’m not gonna let finn get caught up in deacon’s craziness. I’m not gonna let deacon resurrect sheila in finn’s mind.

Finn: You doing all right?

Tom: Been better.

Deacon:: You hang out here a lot?

Tom: Oh, sure. When I’m not vacationing in cabo or cruising the mediterranean in my yacht.

Deacon: Maybe you can help us out.

Tom: What, you want me to take a look at that picture you got there?

Deacon: Yeah.

Tom: Well, a man could use a little money.

Deacon: Yeah, sure. Here. Look, somebody very important to us has been missing for weeks, all right? They bought something in that convenience store right before they disappeared.

Tom: Well, let me see the picture. I may be down on my luck, but I never forget a face.

Deacon: You recognize her, don’t you? You’ve seen this face before.

Tom: Yeah, yeah, I recognize her. Like I said, I never forget a face, especially one as pretty as that.

Finn: Well, tell us more.

Deacon: Anything. Anything is important.

Finn: Look, this is important, all right? Possibly a matter of life or death.

Tom: Well, when I saw her, she walked into that building right over there.

Deacon: Wait a minute, she– she didn’t drive?

Tom: No.

Deacon: You’re sure?

Tom: Yeah. And that’s when the screaming started.

Finn: What– screaming?

Tom: Yeah, and it didn’t stop.

Deacon: What’d you do?

Tom: I didn’t do nothing. Listen, you learn to mind your p’s and q’s when you’re living on the street. It’s survival. It eventually stopped.

Finn: Maybe there’s something in that building that can lead us to sheila. Or is it possible that sheila’s been in that building all along?

Deacon: Let’s just hope we’re not too late.

Announcer: Here’s a look ahead.

Tom: I hear a lot of weird things around here.

[ Shouting ]

Ivy: Oh, my god, it’s so nice seeing you, liam.

Liam: It’s been too long.

Ivy: I think about you a lot.

Phyllis: How’ve we not heard anything about harrison yet?

Nick: Well, they say no news is good news.

Phyllis: Well, that’s a lie. Who are they, even? No news sucks. Those two whack jobs, they have harrison. We’re– we’re supposed to just sit around and wait.

Nick: Phyllis, there’s nothing I want more than to just go after jordan myself.

Phyllis: I feel so bad. Summer is so heartbroken. Not knowing if she’s ever–

Nick: Hey, don’t say if.

Phyllis: Not knowing when she’s gonna see harrison again. Oh, god, this is so hard. How am I just supposed to sit here? If I have to sit here any longer… my head is gonna explode. I’m gonna lose it.

Diane: Hey, I– I didn’t mean to sleep so long. You were supposed to wake me.

Jack: Honey, you were exhausted with worry. I didn’t have the heart.

Diane: Well, is there any news at all about harrison?

Jack: Your timing is actually very good. There is, in fact, news. And I believe with everything in my heart, it’s good news.

Harrison: Oh, dad.

Kyle: You’re safe now, buddy. I got you. You’re safe. No one’s gonna hurt you again.

Summer: Harrison, baby. Oh, my god. Oh, my god, let me look at you. Are you okay? How are you, my baby?

Kyle: Were you all alone, buddy? Where’s claire?

Harrison: I don’t know.

Kyle: Okay, I’m gonna go take a look around.

Summer: Okay, let’s go outside. We never have to see this place ever again, okay, baby? What’s wrong, sweetie?

Harrison: She told me you and daddy didn’t want me anymore. The witch. She said you gave me away to her.

Victoria: Oh, I thought I smelled something.

Cole: Ah, something good, I hope.

Victoria: It’s impressive, considering I didn’t know I had anything in the fridge or the pantry.

Cole: Well, some canned tomatoes, a little pasta, a little parm, and I give you pasta al pomodoro.

Victoria: Cole, you don’t have to take care of me.

Cole: No, what? No, no, no. Come on over here. Have a seat. I didn’t make this all just for you, all right? I made myself a plate, too.

Victoria: I know you’re suffering through this, too.

Cole: Well, maybe it’s my way of looking after myself. Just staying busy, making sure that you’re okay. Would you deny me that?

Victoria: No, I never could.

Cole: So, what do you say? You willing to give it a try?

Victor: There you are. You all right?

Nikki: Yeah, you– you texted that there was word on jordan. What’s happened? Why weren’t you home when I got here?

Victor: I was in town, in an alley.

Nikki: What were you doing there?

Victor: I was following you.

If you’re taking

an antidepressant,

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Summer: Harrison, that is not true. Your dad and I love you so much. You are our entire world. You’re the best thing that ever happened to us, okay? Don’t ever doubt that. Don’t ever let anybody tell you anything different. That woman that took you, she was lying to you. We have been searching for you since the moment she took you. Okay? You are everything to us, harrison. Everything.

Harrison: Why did she say it?

Summer: Because there are evil people in this world and that woman is an evil person. And she wanted to hurt us. And to do that, she tried to hurt you. But you’re safe now, okay? She can never come near you ever again. You understand?

Kyle: Hey, no sign of claire.

Summer: Are we surprised?

Kyle: We don’t know anything for sure.

Summer: Okay, somebody else can deal with jordan and claire. I just want to get harrison home.

Kyle: Well, the cops will be here any second, so if jordan comes back anytime soon, it’s over.

Summer: Then I hope the police lock her and claire up and never let them out. Come here, harrison. Let’s go.

Victoria: This is delicious. Really.

Cole: Well, thank you for not sounding surprised.

Victoria: I was, actually. I was surprised at breakfast. But now I’m just grateful. So, when did you learn how to cook so well?

Cole: Well, it’s been a while since you and I have been in each other’s orbits, so I guess maybe I’ve learned a few things since then. And I imagine that you have, too.

Victoria: Hm. Yeah, I suppose. But mostly just hard life lessons that I could’ve done without.

Cole: But look at you. You’ve come out on the other side. Smarter, stronger, even more resilient.

Victoria: I’m not feeling particularly strong today.

Cole: Well, hopefully knowing you’re not alone helps.

Victoria: This pasta certainly doesn’t hurt.

Cole: Yeah. And you know, there’s, uh, there’s one other thing that I’ve learned. Never try to predict where life is gonna take you. I never in a million years would have ever thought that I’d end up back here in genoa city. And with a grown daughter, no less.

Victoria: It’s impossible to predict, right? And she’s just such an amazing wonderful gift. Isn’t she?

Cole: She has to be. We would’ve never found her after all these years just to lose her again.

Nikki: You followed me?

Victor: You bet. I had one of my men follow you.

Nikki: Well, that was not necessary.

Victor: Apparently, it was.

Nikki: So, you spied on me?

Victor: You bet I did. What do you think I would do? Once I heard that you were gonna meet that jordan woman in an alley? Are you kidding?

Nikki: You went behind my back?

Victor: Yes.

Nikki: And you interfered with my plan. Don’t you understand, victor? I’m the one she hates. I’m the one that has to end this.

Victor: Why the hell did you not tell me about your plan?

Nikki: Because I knew you would do everything you could think of to try to talk me out of it.

Victor: You bet. Because you put yourself in danger.

Nikki: Well, it was worth it because this is my fault.

Victor: What do you mean, this is your fault? What nonsense is that? There’s only one woman to blame. It’s that jordan broad. You are as much a victim of hers as anyone is.

Nikki: Yeah, but at least I can fight for myself.

Victor: Oh, come on.

Nikki: I mean, what hope does harrison have against that beast? And I am to blame for what happened to him. So, I wanted to go to jordan and confront her and save claire and harrison. But it doesn’t really matter what I wanted, does it? Because she didn’t show up.

Victor: She did.

Jack: Kyle called. He has a lead on jordan.

Diane: Well, that’s great. What did he say?

Jack: After he greased a few palms at the diner that jordan went to, they allowed him to look at the security footage. Picture of jordan and the car she was driving. He’s combing the neighborhood right now.

Diane: And what? If he finds the car, then he’ll find where jordan might be keeping harrison and claire?

Jack: Yeah, that’s the hope.

Diane: No, no, no. Jordan is dangerous. If kyle confronts her, god knows what could happen.

Jack: I told him not to act alone. He’s already called victor and his security team, as well as ours. He assured me if he finds the location, he will not act without backup.

Diane: To save his son? There is no way that kyle will wait patiently in his car for help to arrive.

Jack: Sweetheart, we just have to pray he makes the right choice.

Diane: We need to go.

Jack: Go?

Diane: Yes. You have the information. We can help find the car and we can maybe help find where harrison is.

Jack: No, no, no. I am not putting you in danger. I’ll go.

Diane: Jack, I can’t just sit here while our grandson is out there somewhere, terrified and– and confused.

Jack: You’re right. The more eyes that are looking, the better. Come on.

Diane: Okay. Harrison!

Jack: Oh! He’s here.

Diane: Oh. A lot of new dry eye patients

Diane: Oh, I am so glad you’re home. I might never let him go.

Jack: It is so good to see you. Were you hurt?

Summer: We looked him over head to toe. He seems perfect.

Harrison: The witch was mean and told me lies, but she didn’t hurt me.

Jack: Well, we are so happy to have you home.

Harrison: Mommy said you were all looking for me.

Jack: Yeah, we were.

Harrison: I’m glad to be home.

Diane: Aw. We’re glad you’re here. So, um, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat? Whatever it is, we’ll get it for you.

Jack: It’s never too late for hot chocolate. Was it cold where you were?

Summer: I think maybe some quiet time would be good. Do you want to go up to your room, see your toys?

Kyle: Yeah, it’s been a long, rough day. But you’re safe now, bud. We’re never, ever going to let anyone take you again, okay?

Summer: Okay. You ready?

Diane: Hey, we will see you in the morning, okay?

Summer: I just might glue him to me for the rest of the night.

Diane: Night.

Jack: Good night. Love you, buddy.

Summer: Let’s go upstairs.

Diane: Oh. He’s home.

Jack: He’s home.

Diane: Thank god. And you. You made it happen.

Jack: So, you found the car.

Kyle: Yeah, sooner than expected.

Diane: You didn’t confront jordan alone, did you?

Kyle: If I had, I would be in jail myself now.

Diane: Well, then I’m glad it didn’t come to that and that you and harrison are home safe and sound.

Jack: I think you and I specifically talked about you not taking her on by yourself.

Kyle: And I didn’T.

Jack: Well, I didn’t get any notice that you asked for backup.

Kyle: Because I didn’t need it. When I got there, I waited until she drove off and then I made my move.

Diane: That’s risky, kyle. She could’ve laid a trap or had an accomplice inside, claire or, for all we know.

Kyle: Mom, none of that happened.

Diane: Yeah, but it could have.

Kyle: I had to risk it. I knocked on the door and called out. Harrison responded, so I broke down the door.

Diane: And there was no sign of claire?

Kyle: Nothing. When I asked harrison where she was, all he said was that he didn’t know.

Diane: Well, that’s not good.

Jack: Well, I’m just glad you got him out of there before jordan came back.

Kyle: Summer was just a few minutes behind me, but I kind of wished jordan made an appearance so I could tear into her, but she never returned.

Jack: I’m glad she didn’T. What about the police?

Kyle: They got there when we were set to go. They questioned us and then let us leave. Said there’d be more to come.

Jack: Yeah, questions probably only jordan can answer.

Kyle: I wish I could’ve seen that psycho before she was hauled off. Before she got locked in a cell where she belongs.

Phyllis: I– I have to call summer. I can’t just take it.

Nick: Phyllis, don’t do that.

Phyllis: Just sitting here.

Nick: Phyllis, don’T.

Phyllis: No, I’m good.

Nick: Put the phone down. Hey, the last thing our daughter needs is her mother in her ear. Just give her the time she needs to handle this on her own. She will call us when there’s news.

Phyllis: So we’re supposed to just sit here and do nothing?

Nick: Everything that can be done to bring harrison home is being done. You heard summer. My dad is on this, jack abbott, both of their security teams, the police. Movement will be happening soon.

Phyllis: Oh, you don’t know that.

Nick: I know that when my father and jack abbott team up, they will never rest until they bring that little boy home. Can you just imagine for one second what those two could’ve accomplished over the years if they’d actually worked together instead of against each other?

Phyllis: Don’t say something like that to try to disarm me. By the way, you should’ve told me about claire and jordan, those two psychopaths. You should’ve told me that she tried to kill you and tried to hurt your family and that she has a vendetta toward anybody who’s remotely connected to a newman. You should’ve shared that with me.

Nick: You know now.

Phyllis: Well, it doesn’t matter that I know now. I could’ve done something to protect harrison and our daughter.

Nick: Phyllis, it’s not gonna do you any good to spin your wheels, okay? The people best equipped to go after jordan are doing exactly that. Just trust the process, all right?

Phyllis: And don’t– don’t do that, too, all right? Because you know it drives me crazy when you do that calm thing.

Nick: Yeah, I know.

Phyllis: And you know it drives me more crazy because it’s right. I just feel so helpless. I just want to do something to support summer, that’s all.

Nick: Summer knows that we love her, all right? Otherwise, she never would’ve confided in us about harrison. We will be her first phone call when she needs us. And we’ll be ready.

Nikki: Jordan actually showed up? You saw her in the alley? Victor, what happened?

Victor: Well, thanks to some security footage and kyle’s tenacity, he found the motel where jordan was staying.

Nikki: He did?

Victor: Well, apparently he saw jordan leave the motel. And he went in to search for claire and harrison. And I hope that we have some good news soon.

Nikki: But what about jordan? Is she back in custody?

Victor: No. She’s dead. Head & shoulders bare clinically proven dandruff

Nikki: Jordan is dead?

Victor: Yes, my baby, she’s dead.

Nikki: How did it happen?

Victor: Well, she saw me and my team approaching, and she had panicked and tried to escape, run away. Across the galewood river bridge, which is close by the motel there. She panicked and slipped and fell over the side of the bridge.

Nikki: So, she drowned. Jordan drowned.

Victor: Yeah.

Nikki: Are you sure she’s dead?

Victor: Well, there’s no way she would’ve survived a hundred-foot plunge into a dark river. Are you kidding? With that current? She probably was dead upon impact.

Nikki: Well, this is jordan we’re talking about.

Victor: I know. And she’s dead.

Nikki: I hope to god she is. But I won’t be convinced until they dredge that river and I see proof with my own eyes.

Victor: And the police and my team are already on top of that search, all right? They’re searching for her as we speak. But I have a feeling that woman finally met the end that she deserves.

Phyllis: Remember when summer became an instant mom? A wedding and a toddler at the same time. Just to be a mom herself.

Nick: You couldn’t imagine what summer’s being a mom made you?

Phyllis: It made me a granny.

Nick: You said it, not me, granny.

Phyllis: I will say that it made me a super-hot granny, is what it made me. She was incredible. Our wild child becoming a mom, I wasn’t actually sure she could handle it.

Nick: Hm. Just between us, I was worried too.

Phyllis: You were?

Nick: Yeah. I mean, our daughter is extremely headstrong. You know, got into a lot of trouble. She stole cars. She married inappropriate guys. Acted out. Always, it seems, with reason. And she always believed she was in the right.

Phyllis: Hm, even when she was wrong.

Nick: But I think she really learned a lot, you know? And somehow, when we weren’t looking, she grew up.

Phyllis: She’s incredible.

Nick: Yeah.

Phyllis: Wild child to a mom, right? And between baths and story time and co-parenting with kyle after the divorce, I mean, she’s handling it like a pro, isn’t she?

Nick: I gotta hand it to her. As freaked out as she is about harrison being kidnapped, she really kept her head level, you know? So she could be strong for when harrison comes home.

Phyllis: Yeah. He’s gonna come home, right?

Nick: He’s coming home. A happy ending is the only way this story ends.

[ Phone rings ]

Nikki: If kyle found jordan’s hideout, he must’ve found harrison and claire there, too. Shouldn’t we have heard something by now?

Victor: Well, if there are good news, I’m sure I’ll hear about it immediately.

[ Phone rings ] It’s jack. Hello, jack, I hope you have good news.

Jack: Harrison is home.

Victor: That’s wonderful. Harrison is home.

Nikki: Oh, thank god.

Victor: What about claire?

Jack: Kyle said he didn’t see any sign of claire at the motel.

Victor: Are you sure?

Nikki: What about claire?

Jack: Victor, I’m sorry, my team is there at the motel room with the police. Jordan has not returned and we can’t get the answers we need until she does.

Victor: Uh-huh. Well, um… she won’t return, jack. She died.

Jack: What? Wait, she’s dead?

Victor: As my team and I were encroaching upon her, she got panicked and tried to escape across the galewood river bridge. Then she slipped and fell over the side.

Jack: I suppose that’s justice of sorts and a relief. Listen, if my people can do anything to help you find claire, please let me know.

Victor: I certainly shall. Thank you. Thank you, jack.

Nikki: Well, at least harrison is home. Can’t wait to give him a hug, the poor little guy.

Victor: I know. But you know he’ll be all right. We’ll see to it.

Nikki: But where could claire be? I mean, where do we look for her? Jordan took those answers with her. I’m jonathan lawson,

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue…

Victoria: I’m gonna clean.

Cole: Hey, that’s not how this works.

Victoria: No, you cooked. You cooked.

Cole: No. No, I got this. It’ll only take a minute.

Victoria: I can’t sit, all of this waiting. I feel like I’m jumping out of my skin.

Cole: Okay. Well, do you want to just head up to the main house and wait there?

Victoria: No, no, this is claire’s home. She may not have had a chance to get used to this place yet, but I want to be here if she walks through the door. I… am I being irrational?

Cole: No. No, no, no. Not at all. Listen, our daughter is smart. She’s resourceful. And who knows jordan’s tricks better than claire does? I know that she’s doing everything she can to protect harrison and get them both back home safe.

Victoria: You’re right. She’s strong, and she’s– she’s kind, and she’s just– she’s warm to everyone. I just– I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t see that. It’s another reason that I don’t want to go up to the main house, because summer will be there, and summer thinks that claire had something to do with harrison being missing.

Cole: Well, listen, obviously I don’t agree with summer. But in the heat of the moment, people just jump to conclusions.

Victoria: Yeah, but she thinks that our daughter is some deranged kidnapper.

Cole: Because she’s a mother. And she’s afraid, just like you. And I know that her child and yours are both gonna come home safe.

Victoria: God, I hope you’re right about that. But this waiting it’s just– I mean, why haven’t we heard something by now, cole? We should’ve heard something.

Phyllis: He looks so sweet, harrison. Tired, but he looks healthy. He looks good, right? Right?

Nick: Yeah. Yeah, snuggled up in his bed, surrounded by his favorite toys. Summer was so sweet to send that. She must’ve known we really needed to see it.

Phyllis: You know, but is it enough to just see this? I mean, shouldn’t we go there?

Nick: Summer said he needs some time.

Phyllis: All right, but we wouldn’t bother them. I mean, we’d just kind of go in and out and just– just– that’s– that’s not true. It’s a lie. I’d want to stay all night.

Nick: Yeah, I know. Summer said she’ll call us when he’s ready.

Phyllis: All right.

[ Nick sighs ] Are you okay?

Nick: Yeah. I was just afraid that, uh, you know, it took everything in me not to go and track jordan down myself, and… yeah.

Phyllis: Hm. So, all the stay calm, all of that, and victor will handle everything, that– that was– what was that?

Nick: It was just talk. Just talking to myself.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Nick: Ger

Phyllis: That’s nice. So– so I was the calm one for you, right? I was the voice of reason for you. I was your hero.

Nick: Sure. We can go with that. I’ll say this. Jordan better hope she ends up in prison for what she’s done. Because if not, I will hunt that woman down and make sure she never hurts my family again.

Diane: It must have been hard for the newmans to hear that claire wasn’t with harrison.

Jack: Victor had some news of his own.

Diane: Oh, does he have information about claire?

Jack: How is harrison?

Summer: He’s asleep. He was– he was exhausted. He was just happy to be in his own bed with his toys.

Diane: Is he okay?

Summer: I don’t know. I mean, he’s been through a lot, but he seems physically okay, yes.

Kyle: Yeah, we’ve already planned to get him checked out by the pediatrician tomorrow. Just in case.

Summer: I’m really worried about the emotional toll on him. I mean, can you believe that that demon told him that we didn’t want him anymore? That we just gave him away to her?

Jack: That is pure evil.

Summer: I had to reassure my own son that I love him and that we were all looking for him this whole time.

Kyle: I mean, what kind of a monster tortures a child like that?

Jack: According to victor, that can never happen again.

Summer: Did they catch her?

Jack: Jordan is dead.

Diane: What?

Kyle: How? When?

Jack: Victor’s men tracked her down, gave chase. She plunged to her death off the galewood river bridge.

Diane: Oh, my god.

Summer: Good. I’m glad she’s dead. I hope she rots in hell for what she did to harrison. But this– this isn’t over. Where’s claire? She still on the loose?

Nikki: You know, I hate to say this, but is it possible that jordan got a hold of claire and claire was an unwilling accomplice and now she’s run off to avoid arrest?

Victor: No. No. There’s no way claire would do that. I have seen the joy in her eye when she realized that she was a part of victoria’s family and our family. There’s no way she would stand against us.

Nikki: Well, then where is she? What– what did jordan do to her?

Victor: I don’t know, sweetheart, but we’ll find out.

Nikki: When will it end, victor? I mean, we’re finally free of jordan, and yet we’re still in the nightmare, which is just what she wanted. It ain’t my dad’s razor, dad.

Nikki: So, how are we going to tell victoria and cole that claire wasn’t found with harrison?

Victor: You and I will go to the tack house and we’ll tell them.

Nikki: No. No, finding claire is the priority. You do what you need to do. I’ll– I’ll tell them.

Victor: You sure?

Nikki: Yeah.

Victor: Look, my baby, once and for all, do not ever do that again without letting me know what you’re up to. You can’t meet a woman like that in a damn dark alley. But having said that, it showed guts on your part, very courageous on your part.

Nikki: Even though I didn’t tell you about the meeting with jordan?

Victor: Yes, because when I think about it, I realize that kyle would never have found harrison. Alone. Without your plan to meet jordan. She left harrison alone in that motel to meet you. So, in a sense, you are responsible for harrison being with us now.

Nikki: Well, let’s hope that claire is safe as well.

Victor: Come here. My baby, jordan will never hurt you again. And we shall find claire. I promise you.

Jack: Victor’s men have seen no information about claire, no sightings at all.

Summer: Well, she’s just as guilty as jordan. She needs to be caught and punished.

Jack: We don’t know that she was involved in this kidnapping.

Kyle: Dad’s right.

Summer: How can you believe that? They were obviously working together.

Kyle: Okay, summer, I admit, in the beginning, I needed to believe that claire was innocent, so I didn’t feel guilty about harrison being taken on my watch. But that doesn’t mean she is, in fact, guilty.

Diane: Wait, kyle, you can’t blame yourself for harrison’s abduction.

Kyle: I do. That’s why I would stop at nothing to bring our boy home.

Jack: Which we are all very grateful for.

Summer: Jordan has paid the price for what she’s done to harrison, and claire needs to be held accountable, too.

Kyle: When I asked harrison about claire, where she was, he didn’t blame her, he didn’t say anything against her.

Summer: That’s because he was terrified. He barely spoke at all. She might have threatened him to stay quiet.

Jack: Maybe we should slow all this down until we have some facts.

Summer: The facts are that claire befriended harrison and made him trust her. Claire is mentally unwell. She tried to kill my grandparents and my dad and my aunt. Claire was the one upstairs in harrison’s room alone. And then they disappeared. He right to believe that she is just as guilty as jordan.

Kyle: Look, I only saw jordan drive away from the motel. Claire wasn’t with her and claire wasn’t in the motel.

Jack: To kyle’s point, yes, all of the texts were from claire’s phone, but all of the demands, all of them, were about jordan’s safety and getting her out of the country. No mention of claire.

Summer: It proves nothing. If claire was really a victim in all of this, why wasn’t she locked up with harrison, grateful to be rescued?

Diane: Because, and this is awful to think about, maybe jordan did something to harm her.

Jack: Oh, god.

Kyle: It’s a possibility. I mean, think about it. Harrison served a purpose. He was a means to an end. Money, freedom. Claire… I mean, jordan groomed her for years, brainwashed her, demanded complete loyalty. To see her become part of the newman family, it’s a complete betrayal. She would never forgive that, and clearly, she’s capable of anything.

[ Knock on door ]

Jack: I’ll get it. Hey, come on in.

Phyllis: Hey. Oh, where’s summer? Oh, baby.

Nick: Where’s our guy?

Phyllis: Are you okay?

Summer: He’s upstairs sleeping. The second his head hit the pillow.

Harrison: Mommy! Daddy!

Cole: Hey.

Victoria: Mom. Oh, my god. Thank god you’re okay.

Cole: Nikki, are you all right? Come on in here. Come on.

Victoria: Come in. You went to meet jordan, didn’t you?

Nikki: What matters most is that harrison is home safe and sound. Jack just called your father.

Victoria: He’s home?

Cole: Oh, that’s wonderful.

Victoria: Where’s claire?

Nikki: My darling, I’m afraid we don’t know where claire is.

Victor: Are you settling in? How do you do? My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis held me back…

Diane: How is harrison? Is– is he all right?

Kyle: He had a nightmare. Probably won’t be his last.

Phyllis: You know, that jordan person, I could kill her.

Jack: Too late for that.

Nick: What does that mean?

Jack: You haven’t spoken to your father?

Nick: Not lately.

Jack: His men found her, went after her. There was an accident on the galewood river bridge. She is dead.

Nick: Wow. Well, after all the misery she has caused my family, that is good news. But I’m gonna need to see a body first to believe it.

Phyllis: And that claire person? I definitely have words for her.

Jack: We have no information on her whereabouts.

Diane: Yes, all that matters to me right now is that harrison is home safe.

Phyllis: Well, I agree with that, of course. We agree. You know, um, kyle, you were a hero today.

Kyle: Thank you.

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness. Hey.

Summer: Who’s here. See.

Nick: There he is. Up top, man.

Phyllis: Hey, you come here. Oh, my goodness. It’s so great to see you. You were very, very brave. I’m very proud of you.

Kyle: What was your dream about, buddy?

Harrison: About the witch lady. She was mean.

Kyle: Jordan will never be able to hurt you again.

Summer: And neither will claire.

Harrison: Claire didn’t hurt me.

Kyle: She didn’t?

Harrison: The witch hurt her.

Summer: What do you mean, sweetie?

Harrison: Claire’s in trouble, mommy. We have to save her.

Victoria: No one knows where claire is? Come on, this can’t be happening.

Nikki: Darling, don’t worry. We will find her. Your father’s security team is doing everything they can.

Victoria: But what if jordan has hurt her? Or she’s trapped somewhere? Huh? I mean, you don’t think that…

Nikki: Victoria, don’T.

Victoria: How can I not, mom? How can I not? She was furious at claire. She had so much hatred for her, for betraying us, and for becoming a part of our family.

Cole: Okay, all right, nikki is right, all right? Until we have more information, we’re gonna expect claire to come home to us.

Victoria: But if jordan is dead, then how are we gonna find claire? How are we gonna know what happened to her? It’s an unknown caller. Hello? I’m sorry, I, uh, it’s a bad connection. I can’t understand you. I’m sorry? Hello?

Claire: Mom.

Jordan: You bastard.

Victor: I’ve been called much worse.

Jordan: Help! Help! Get me out of here! Help!

Victor: You can yell all you want. No one can hear you. I have seen to that many years ago.

Jordan: You can’t do this to me.

Victor: I can. I have. There’s no way out for you. No poison to take. No fire to set. No way out. Except through me. Now, you tell me where I find my granddaughter.
